Chapter 145 Gandalf's Client
Bernadette nodded slowly: "That is to say, you made 30 pounds from this business!"
She laughed and said, "You are really a genius in acting. In order to play the role of a 'combat scholar', you destroyed the fighting arena in Backlund.
"Playing the role of a 'wizard' can also make money in the process of acting.
"Other people's acting is both time-consuming and money-consuming. When you act, you not only digest the potion, but also make money."
Odysseus put the long staff aside and laughed, "It's not as great as you say. I just smoked a pipe while others were drinking coffee."
"Hahaha~" Bernadette's hearty laughter came again in the air.
As the two people became more and more familiar with each other and the chat became more and more casual, Bernadette found it more and more interesting to chat with Odysseus.
Now the people Bernadette met were either subordinates or enemies.
The former often had a serious face, and it was impossible to chat with them. As for chatting with enemies, it was a very dangerous thing.
Odysseus was not as cautious as his subordinates, nor as cold as his enemies.
After a few hearty laughs, the two began to talk business again.
Bernadette asked Odysseus: "I still don't quite understand why the 'Moss Ascetic Order' must capture you?"
The situation was urgent before, and she didn't have time to talk to Odysseus in detail.
Later, Bernadette heard from Alia that the "Moss Ascetic Order" had spent so much time planning, but it was just to capture Odysseus!
The key is that this order was issued by the "Hidden Sage"!
This is very abnormal. It is not surprising that the "Moss Ascetic Order" noticed Odysseus. After all, Odysseus's research is really admirable.
But these studies have not yet alarmed the "Hidden Sage".
For this question, Odysseus has already thought of the answer: "Maybe they found that I have a close cooperation with you, and want to capture me and interrogate me about your information.
"Don't worry, even if I am caught by the people of the 'Moss Ascetic Order', no matter how they torture me, I will never say a word about you!"
Bernadette paused for a few seconds before saying: "Not likely. "
She meant that the Hidden Sage didn't seem to be planning to capture Odysseus in order to get information about her.
But then she thought that Odysseus might not know the reason either, so Bernadette said, "Why do I feel that people who can say such things are unlikely to keep any secrets?"
Odysseus did not refute, but smiled and asked, "Do you have any magical items with the ability to 'travel'?"
"Yes, but the negative effect is very strong." Bernadette said, "I can help you trade for a magical item that doesn't have a very strong negative effect, for 19,000 pounds."
"We are good friends."
"Then it's 18,500 pounds."
"Is our friendship only worth 500 pounds?"
"That's right." Bernadette thought for a while: "18,800 pounds!"
Odysseus: "I..."
Bernadette smiled and said, "The other party's offer is 18,500 pounds. If you don't have so much money, I can help you pay part of it."
Odysseus thought for a while and then said, "Wait a minute. "
He hasn't figured out how to run.
Bernadette said, "Okay."
The two chatted for a while, but Bernadette had something else to do, so the chat stopped for the time being.
Odysseus wrote a letter to Mandy, asking her to ask the "pharmacist" to prescribe two herbal medicines for male and female infertility.
In fact, the "pharmacist" was the "Fat Pharmacist", a member of the Mystic Research Society, but it was Mandy who had been in contact with him.
After going out to find a rented carriage to deliver the letter, Odysseus continued to read and wait for customers.
Today was a relatively leisurely day. In the evening, he had dinner early, lay down on the bed early, and used "meditation" to enter the "wilderness of knowledge".
Odysseus first Take the "Star Ring" seized today, and then use the status of "Knowledge Wilderness" to know that it is a seal for the "Apprentice" Path Sequence 5 "Traveler".
But the strange thing is that Odysseus can't use the power of "Knowledge Wilderness" to know the formation process of this seal.
The other seals obtained before can use "Knowledge Wilderness" to understand the formation process of the seals, but this one can't.
Odysseus just kept this matter in mind, and didn't continue to think about this problem, but used "Knowledge Wilderness" to understand its abilities and negative effects.
The ability of the "Star Ring" is: as long as it is hung on a door, it can quietly teleport all the lives approaching the door to a rainy wilderness, and can only be sent there. The holder of this seal can freely enter and exit the rainy wilderness, and can release the lives teleported to the rainy wilderness by opening the door.
The negative effect is: as long as the seal is used, the holder will be awakened by rain from nowhere one night. If the holder only uses the seal twice in a week, he will often have nightmares of wandering aimlessly in the rainy wilderness and encountering terrible monsters. If it is used three times in a week, the holder will be teleported to the depths of the rainy wilderness and lose the right to hold the seal, and will never be able to come back.
Odysseus sighed. This negative effect is very strong. If it is only used once and woken up by rain, it is barely acceptable. Using it twice in a week seems to be a bit dangerous, and using it three times will result in missing persons.
Moreover, the use of this seal is not very large. It is okay in the city, but if it is fought in the wilderness, where can I find the door?
This made Odysseus sigh: I wasted the extraordinary characteristics of the "Traveler".
After knowing the power and negative effects of the seal, Odysseus began to write the previous research report.
After discovering the small crystal that can store spirituality the night before, Odysseus was very happy and did not have time to write a research report, so he came to make up for it tonight.
After submitting it to the "Wild Knowledge", this week's research is considered completed.
Odysseus returned to the real world and wrote another letter to Klein, telling him about the power and effect of this seal, and discussing with him how to hold the seal.
At the same time, Odysseus also provided Klein with another option. He paid Klein 2,000 pounds and completely held the seal.
In terms of the level of the seal, 2000 is indeed too little, but in terms of the power and negative effects of this seal, 2000 is neither too much nor too little. The reason
why Odysseus was willing to pay this money to buy it is because his spiritual perception is that the rainy wilderness is not simple and seems to hide many secrets.
But with his current strength, it is very dangerous to explore the rainy wilderness. He needs to reach Sequence 6 at least to explore it.
This is considered a risky investment, but Odysseus is basically sure that there will be good things in the rainy wilderness, but it just takes a little bit of exploration and searching.
After writing the letter, it was late, so Odysseus yawned and went to bed.
The next morning, when Odysseus was having breakfast, Mandy's assistant Bella brought the medicine that the wizard Gandalf needed. It was still the same price, 10 pounds per dose, a total of 20 pounds.
At the same time, Bella also sent the dividends of the "Nanmu Dance Hall". The dividends for November were 3,122 pounds. She could have gotten more, but because she had just acquired the shop next door, Mandy planned to renovate it and connect it to the "Nanmu Dance Hall".
This was a considerable expense and would take two or three months to complete.
Odysseus gave Bella the letter to Klein and asked her to send it out using the address of the "Nanmu Dance Hall". Then he asked Bella to inform Enoch to be ready. He would bring the newly developed device on Sunday morning to give Enoch's subordinates rich fighting skills.
After Bella left, Odysseus continued to wait like yesterday.
The first person to visit was the man who was about 30 years old and had a little cross-eyed yesterday.
Odysseus took him 50 pounds, gave him the two doses of medicine, and told him which one was for him to drink and which one was for his wife to drink, and told him not to confuse them.
The cross-eyed man left with the herbs in some doubt.
Odysseus did not perform in this regard, because he believed in the ability of the "fat pharmacist", and this kind of thing was more effective than any performance.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Odysseus welcomed York Elton, the rich man who suspected that his son was not his own.
This time, York was more polite than last time: "Mr. Wizard, I am taking the liberty to visit you again. For this, I have prepared some gifts for you to express my respect."
When he visited last time, the wizard said that he had good luck recently. As a result, he just came home from here and learned that his subordinates had signed a very profitable contract.
York already trusted the wizard in front of him very much. While he was talking to Mr. Wizard, the personal manservant behind him hurriedly brought wine and cigars, but Odysseus waved his hand and said, "I don't need these, you can take them back."
He turned and went into the living room without waiting for York to continue to refuse.
York was also a little embarrassed. He asked for a long time and didn't know what to give to the wizard, so he had to tentatively bring wine and cigars.
Seeing that the wizard refused to accept it, he did not insist.
After asking the manservant to wait for him in the carriage again, York hurried into the living room and closed the door.
The two came to the fireplace, and Odysseus asked: "Have you brought what I need?"
"Yes." York quickly took out a small glass bottle from his underwear pocket, which contained a few strands of his eldest son's hair.
Odysseus nodded: "Go sit on the sofa."
As he spoke, he took out the spiritual materials and pen that he had prepared long ago, and began to draw magic circles in front of the fireplace.
Odysseus was very skilled in drawing various magic circles. In a few minutes, two magic circles had been drawn.
Odysseus pointed to the magic circle on the right: "Stand in it."
York quickly stood up and stood where Odysseus pointed, watching the wizard open the glass bottle, take out the hair inside, hold them in both hands and mutter something, as if he was chanting some spell.
After a while, the wizard Gandalf put the hair on both sides into another magic circle and told York: "Flames will appear in this magic circle in a while. If these hairs are burned, your eldest son is not your child.
"If the hair is not damaged, he is your child."
York was stunned, and felt that the hope that the eldest son was his own was very slim, after all, hair can be easily burned to ashes.Chapter 146 Pediatric Emergency
York Elton watched the wizard Gandalf's movements intently. After he described how to distinguish whether the eldest son was his own, he began to dance a strange dance while muttering something, as if he had suddenly become another person.
This was a dance that Odysseus had fully absorbed the essence of the art form of "dancing the gods" and transformed. After all, the aesthetics of the Kingdom of Loen and the Northeast are somewhat different. After
performing for two or three minutes, Odysseus felt that the atmosphere was almost set, so he took the staff and stabbed it hard into the magic circle under York's feet.
York immediately felt an evil wind surrounding him, blowing from the bottom up. After the evil wind reached the top of his head, it continued to rise.
This was not his illusion. The magic circle under York's feet was a "breeze magic circle". Odysseus had just stabbed the staff into the magic circle, injecting spirituality into the magic circle and making it work.
Although it was just a breeze, this was in the wizard's residence, surrounded by some strange plants. In addition to some bottles and jars, there were also some animal specimens and skulls on the shelves beside the wall.
In such a poorly lit room, York suddenly became nervous and stood there stiffly.
Then Odysseus came to the side with a staff, and after reciting a spell, he stuck the staff into the magic circle with hair.
Huh~
The flame in the fireplace suddenly sprayed out and sprayed on the magic circle.
The magic circle suddenly ignited a faint green light. The flame in the fireplace returned to normal, but the flame in the magic circle suddenly ignited, forming a pillar of fire more than one person tall.
York was shocked and his hands trembled slightly. The pillar of fire was very close to him, but he could not feel the heat of the pillar of fire. On the contrary, it felt very cold.
This is a "flame magic circle", but Odysseus used a lot of undead spiritual materials when writing, so this is actually some ghost fire, of course it will be very cold.
After four or five seconds, the intense flame disappeared.
A magical scene appeared. The hair in the center of the magic circle was intact.
Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "Your ancestors have determined that it is your child."
In fact, after he got the hair, he had already completed the divination and determined that the owner of the hair was York's child. All the operations after that were just performances.
York breathed a sigh of relief. Under the influence of the "evil wind" and "green flame" just now, he believed the words of the wizard Gandalf without a doubt.
However, he still had some questions: "Why do you say that my ancestors have determined that the child is mine?"
"I have some very simple ways to determine whether your eldest son is your biological child." Odysseus explained mysteriously, "But to be safe, I still summoned the souls of your ancestors and let them judge.
"Just now you should have felt a dark wind swirling around you, which is actually using you to summon the souls of your ancestors.
"Because you are of the same lineage, your ancestors can easily tell whether it is your child or not."
York looked around, as if he felt the gaze of his ancestors, and then he said in great admiration: "You are the most powerful wizard I have ever seen!"
Odysseus first felt that his spirit was very relaxed, and the potion finally showed signs of digestion.
In addition to being happy, he wanted to ask York if he had seen other wizards before?
However, in order to keep the conversation going, Odysseus just smiled and said nothing.
York was very happy that he finally got rid of a huge doubt in his heart. He took out his wallet, did not count the money, and took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Odysseus: "Mr. Wizard, please accept my thank you gift."
Odysseus reached out and took 5 10-pound banknotes: "Fate has made me take so much."
York was a little excited: "You took too little."
Odysseus smiled and said: "If I take money that does not belong to my destiny, the money will not belong to me, and it will bring me disaster."
These "charlatan words" made York admire Odysseus even more, and he no longer forced to give it. He left after thanking him profusely.
Odysseus put away the money, cleaned up the magic circle on the ground, and summarized his experience in acting.
First of all, wizards need a certain performance. When the target believes in his identity as a wizard and trusts his conclusion as a wizard, the potion can be loosened or digested.
This can be regarded as a spiritual interaction process. Whether it is a "wizard" or other ways to digest the potion, such interaction is required.
Then the performance must continue and cannot stop.
As he was thinking, Odysseus sat on the sofa and thought: the cost of the spiritual materials used in the magic circle was about 7 pounds, so this "business" made more than 40 pounds, not bad, and he had made more than 70 pounds today.
Odysseus was very happy, reading a book and waiting for the next customer to come.
But this kind of "business" of his either had two or three orders at a time, or no orders at all, and no one would come for the whole day.
He waited for Klein's reply first, but this reply was forwarded by Mandy.
Klein said in the letter that he was willing to take the 2,000 pounds, after all, this seal was of no use to him.
But he also said that he hoped to borrow the seal if he needed it in the future.
After reading the letter, Odysseus immediately wrote back, saying that he could borrow it, but if he planned to explore the "rainy wilderness", he had to get Odysseus's consent. The reason was that it was too dangerous for a person to enter the "Rainy Wilderness".
After writing the reply, Odysseus counted out 2,000 pounds of banknotes, made a package, and gave it to the driver of the rental carriage together with the letter, asking him to deliver it to the "Nanmu Dance Hall" and have Mandy pass it to Klein.
After that, Odysseus, who had nothing to do, began to study witchcraft. No customers came to the door the next Friday, but Odysseus took this opportunity to study several new witchcrafts.
At this time, his understanding of witchcraft was very profound, and he was already considering starting to write the outline of "Witchcraft Encyclopedia".
It was not until Saturday afternoon, when Odysseus was about to start writing, that a customer finally came.
The street vendor selling Dessie pies came in hurriedly with a middle-aged woman and a child of seven or eight years old.
The vendor said anxiously in front: "Mr. Wizard, Mr. Wizard! Please help save this child!"
Odysseus said: "You should go to the hospital, not..."
He stopped halfway because the child's face was black, his whole body was twitching, and his expression was hideous.
So he paused and said: "This disease really can't be cured in the hospital, put him on the sofa quickly."
The vendor and the woman were relieved to hear what Odysseus said, because they had already been to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed and prescribed medicine, but those medicines had no effect at all.
After the child lay on the sofa, he struggled even more, and the vendor and the woman had to hold him down together.
Odysseus pinched his temple and opened the "Eye of Peering into Mystery". On the child's spirit, an illusory black shadow was attached.
The black shadow looked a bit like a kangaroo, but it didn't have the leisurely look of a kangaroo. On the contrary, he had a hideous face and was biting the child's spirit fiercely, as if absorbing energy.
Odysseus said to the two people, "Back off!"
The vendor quickly pulled the woman back. The shadow lying on the little boy seemed to have sensed the threat from Odysseus. The little boy suddenly jumped up and pounced on Odysseus.
Odysseus sprinkled the gray-black powder that he had been holding in his hand for a long time. The room suddenly emitted a golden light. The shadow was "hit" by the powder, and smoke suddenly came out of his body, and he let out a creepy scream.
The vendor and the woman were startled, not knowing where the scream came from.
While the monster opened its mouth, Odysseus attached his spirituality to the staff, raised his hand and hit the shadow with a stick, and sent the shadow flying.
The shadow rolled on the ground twice, and finally stopped smoking.
The seven or eight-year-old child also fell to the ground with a "gulp", no longer twitching, and his face was no longer ferocious. The black breath quickly dissipated.
The vendor breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart: I really found the right person!
At this time, Odysseus saw that the shadow was lying on the ground, baring his teeth at him, and attacked again.
Odysseus quickly made a judgment: this guy's intelligence is not very high.
Theoretically, it should feel that it is no match for the opponent, but it did not run away and continued to attack.
So Odysseus dodged and sprinkled a handful of colored powder, and the black shadow suddenly appeared in the real world.
The vendor and his sister saw that it was a colorful monster with a big belly, strong hind legs, and a small head with a very hideous and terrifying expression.
They retreated in fear, but seemed to think of something quickly, carrying the child on the ground and hiding behind the sofa.
The battle did not last long. As soon as they hid behind the sofa, the wizard saw the opportunity, knocked the monster to the ground with his staff, and sprinkled a handful of iron black powder on it.
This powder seemed to be more powerful than the previous one, and it emitted a gray light in the room. The light touched the somewhat illusory monster, and it quickly melted away in the monster's screams and struggles, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Odysseus put the staff aside, took a deep breath and said to the vendor and others, "It's okay."
He went to see the child again. The child's face was pale and he hadn't woken up yet.
So Odysseus took a bottle of essential oil from the shelf, pinched the child's mouth open, and poured about one-fifth of it in.
With the rich spiritual supplement, the child woke up quickly, and his face was not so pale, but he was still a little weak.
Odysseus was about to ask how the child became like this, but the woman asked first: "Mr. Wizard, how much...how much is the consultation fee?"
She didn't know how to describe the cost of Odysseus's actions just now, so she used the word "consultation fee".
"3 pounds..." Odysseus blurted out. This was just the money for the essential oil. The cost of the powder he sprinkled when using witchcraft was not included in it.
However, after he quoted the price and saw the woman's expression, he knew that the other party did not have so much money. Chapter 147 The Monk
Odysseus was about to say that he would not take their money, but the vendor had already said, "Please give me two hours to go back and collect this... um, the consultation fee."
He didn't know how to describe it. What should he call the money he gave to Odysseus?
The vendor had a few pounds in savings, enough to pay for the consultation fee.
"Okay, then 3 pounds." Odysseus did not insist. After all, he was playing a wizard, not a philanthropist: "Go back and find some skull grass near the cemetery. After washing and cutting, boil water for the child to drink.
"Drink it twice a day, and it should be fine after drinking it for five or six days."
The child's spirit is still very weak, and he should continue to supplement some spirituality, and the spiritual herbs of the dead are the best tonic.
The woman quickly wrote down: "Okay, okay."
Odysseus asked them to sit on the sofa and asked them: "When did this child have such symptoms? Did anything strange happen before the symptoms appeared?"
"Since yesterday morning. "The woman replied, "Before he got sick, he said some very strange things, saying that our neighbor turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
"Not long after he said these words, he couldn't say anything."
The child in her arms shrank back in fear when she heard her mother's story.
So they took the child to the hospital and spent all their savings to get some medicine, but it didn't work at all.
This morning, because the convulsions became more and more severe, the peddler happened to come to visit his nephew. After listening to his sister's description of the illness, he brought the child to Odysseus.
The mother praised, "You are really a great wizard. You solved the monster with just one or two moves."
The peddler also nodded repeatedly. A few days ago, after taking a bath with the medicine given by the wizard, he felt very warm and refreshed, and he didn't feel cold in the cold winter.
Since then, he is no longer so unlucky. At
that time, in his heart, the wizard Gandalf was already a god-like existence.
Odysseus smiled and said, "That monster is too weak."
At the same time, he felt that the potion was digesting again, because the process of destroying the monster just now was equivalent to completing a performance.
The two people in front of him were already convinced that he was a wizard. This was another successful performance.
Then Odysseus asked for the address and said to them, "Don't go home today, go back tomorrow."
Although the vendor and his sister were a little puzzled, they nodded quickly.
After seeing off these guests, Odysseus immediately wrote a letter to the "Mechanical Heart". He believed that there should be a very dangerous person living next door to the mother and son.
And he speculated that it was very likely a "hermit monk", which was the sequence 7 of the "secret prayer" path. He asked the "Mechanical Heart" to be careful.
After asking the coachman of the rental carriage to send the letter, Odysseus estimated that the "Mechanical Heart" would be able to take action in the evening or after nightfall after some preparations, so he asked the two women not to go back first, so as not to alert the enemy.
After that, Odysseus took out several extraordinary weapons from the "Wild Knowledge", then he collected his mind and began to write the outline of "The Complete Works of Witchcraft".
...
As Odysseus expected, under the leadership of a captain of the "Mechanical Heart", they surrounded the address provided by Odysseus at night.
Although their spirits did not sense the danger, they were still very careful when launching the raid.
But after rushing into the room, they found that there was no one in the house.
This made them feel a little strange, so they searched the room and soon found evidence that this was indeed the hideout of a member of the "Aurora Society".
However, the other party was not at home, and it seemed that he had just left here not long ago.
The captain frowned: "Where can he go?"
...
No. 66, Long Rose Street.
Odysseus received a "medical fee" of 3 pounds from the peddler before dinner, sent the peddler away, and after dinner, he did not continue to write the outline of "The Complete Works of Witchcraft", but read a book in front of the fireplace.
He knew very well that he had to be more alert tonight. After all, the monster died in the living room. I wonder if the owner of the monster will come looking for him?
If he really does, that would be great.
The vendors had already had a hard time collecting the three pounds, so of course he couldn't ask them for more money. He couldn't do a business that would lose money, could he? If that guy dared to come, Odysseus would definitely have to find a way to keep him.
That would be a big profit.
And if the other party didn't come, he could only wait for the information fee from the "Mechanical Heart".
According to convention, such an information would cost about 20 pounds.
If you calculate it carefully, you haven't lost money, but most of the expenses are not borne by the customer.
Just as Odysseus was thinking about it, the gas lamp suddenly dimmed a little. Odysseus immediately put down the book: "Come out, I know you're here."
No one answered.
Odysseus smiled and said: "Maybe others can't find you, but I have a way."
As he spoke, he pulled out the sword that was placed aside, and the sword immediately flashed with sparks. It was the sword that Lelouch had used before, which could fill the sword with electricity.
Odysseus was not worried that the other party could use this sword to identify his identity, because this guy must have never seen Lelouch's game and would not associate the "wizard" in front of him with Lelouch.
After Odysseus said the second sentence, the other party still did not respond.
So he slowly put on a black glove, then grabbed a handful of golden powder and threw it into the corner.
The corner suddenly swayed with layers of halos, like running water flowing around bit by bit, and the corner was no longer dim, and it was brighter than the area around the gas lamp.
"Not here." Odysseus said: "It may be here."
He threw a handful of golden powder towards the corner on the other side, and that side gradually became brighter, and there was no dark place.
"It's not here anymore." Odysseus grabbed a handful of powder and said, "Then I'll try over there."
He sprinkled the powder evenly on the ground, and the shadows under the furniture such as the coffee table, sofa, and table also disappeared, but he still couldn't find the other party.
"Then there is only one place left." Odysseus looked up suddenly, and there was a black and ferocious face not far above his head.
It seemed like a huge black bat, opening its bloody mouth to bite Odysseus.
The attack of this bat was like a signal, and black monsters rushed out from the corners around the room.
They were agile and had a terrifying big mouth.
Odysseus immediately sprinkled a handful of iron-black powder, and many monsters were sprinkled. They rolled and fled while screaming.
Odysseus rushed to the gap, but he was still a step slower and was bitten by two black monsters. The pointed wizard hat was also taken away by the black bat on his head.
Odysseus raised his sword and stabbed a monster that bit him.
In the crackling lightning, the monster screamed and left.
The place where Odysseus was bitten was just torn in his clothes, but he was not injured, because there was a "defense array" inside his clothes, and these monsters could not hurt him for the time being.
However, another monster bit him at this time, and Odysseus dodged their attacks in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
At this time, a short knife stretched out from the dim roof and quickly stabbed at Odysseus's shadow.
A smile appeared on the corner of Odysseus's mouth, and he suddenly raised the hand with the black glove: "Imprison!"
A sticky liquid suddenly appeared on the roof, surrounding the short knife and the shadow behind the knife, as if forming a huge amber.
The "hermit" was very surprised. He didn't expect that the other party actually had a magical item of the "Arbitrator" path, and the level of this magical item was not low.
The black glove was a seal named "Hand of Judgment" by Odysseus. After all, the "complex array" here has not been completed, so he plans to use this seal to quickly kill the enemy.
It is best not to use this seal in Backlund at the moment, but as long as the target is killed, it doesn't matter if no one knows he has used it.
"Spirit Whip!" Odysseus continued to use the seal to attack the enemy. The attack of the "Spirit Whip" made the "Hermit" extremely painful. This path originally made his spirit very fragile. After being hit by the "Spirit Whip", he immediately had the precursor of losing control.
Odysseus stretched out his hand to more and more black monsters: "Exile!"
At this time, three monsters had already bitten him, but the intelligence of these monsters was not very high. They obviously couldn't hurt Odysseus, but they still bit him without hesitation.
The "Hand of Judgment" in Odysseus's hand exuded huge energy, and these monsters seemed to be pushed back into the dark corner by an invisible huge force.
Odysseus dealt with them first because he was afraid that the monster would bite his face. After all, there was no protective equipment on his face.
After calmly driving away the monsters, Odysseus raised his hand again and pointed at the dagger: "Death!"
He just swung his fist lightly and hit the opponent's head, knocking him off the roof and knocking the dagger to the ground.
At this time, the effect of "imprisonment" had just ended. Odysseus stepped forward and stabbed the seriously injured dark figure on the ground with a sword, and injected spirituality into the sword, using spirituality to release electricity.
The dark figure rolled and struggled for a while, and finally gradually turned into the appearance of a middle-aged man.
Odysseus drew his sword, but he didn't expect to be able to kill a Sequence 7 so easily.
If he used "witchcraft" and extraordinary weapons to fight the opponent, Odysseus would also be confident that he could kill the opponent, but it would never be so easy.
Odysseus took a deep breath and sighed in his heart: I can destroy the enemy so quickly, thanks to this glove.
At this time, the gas lamp in the room became dimmer again, and the darkness flowed towards Odysseus bit by bit like a stream of water.
Odysseus frowned. He soon discovered that the surging darkness was flowing towards the dead "Monk".
At this time, the Beyonder characteristics began to precipitate. Could it be that he was not dead yet?, Chapter 148: Nice Loot (Update!)
In the living room, darkness was rolling like a tide, and the whole room turned into a huge black lake.
Odysseus grabbed a handful of golden powder and was about to sprinkle it when he realized that the darkness was flowing towards the dead "monk".
He confirmed again that the "monk" had been killed by him, and did not take further action immediately.
In fact, when Odysseus used the ability of "death" to hit the "monk", he had basically killed him, and the subsequent sword attack could only be regarded as a finishing blow.
This made him sigh: The combo of the "Arbitrator" path is really useful. First, "Imprison", followed by "Death". Generally, Sequence 7 will be seriously injured by "Death".
Of course, even at the level of Sequence 7, there is a way to evade it, but Odysseus's previous performance was too good, and the "monk" completely thought that this "wizard" had such great ability, so he rushed out from the shadows and wanted to cooperate with the summoned monster to deal with the enemy in front of him.
Odysseus used the seal at the right time, so he could easily deal with his opponent.
While Odysseus was daydreaming, the extraordinary characteristics of the "hermit" in front of him were concentrating on an iron-black ring on his hand.
Odysseus did not stop this process, because it indicated that a seal would be formed.
Seven or eight minutes later, the iron-black ring expanded by twice, and wisps of black mist were entangled around the ring.
Soon all the mist entered the ring, forming a dark black ring that seemed to have a frosted effect.
Odysseus took off the ring and put it into the "Wild Knowledge" together with the "Hand of Judgment". Then he took out the gas mask, gloves, sacks, sponges, rain cloth and other items from the basement and used "corpse-dissolving water" to dissolve the corpse.
He stuffed the sponge full of yellow corpse water into the sack and threw it into the trash can outside.
After finishing all this, Odysseus sprayed some potion to dissipate the smell in the room, completely covering up the traces that the "hermit" had been here.
Odysseus, who had just killed a Sequence 7, read a book for a while, and made sure that no other enemies came to him before returning to the second floor to wash and rest.
After lying on the bed, Odysseus first used "Meditation" to enter the "Wild Knowledge" to check the ability of the ring he had just seized.
The ability of this ring is quite good: it can move quickly in the dark shadows, or hide in the shadows and remain motionless. As long as you hide your malice, the opponent's spirituality will be difficult to sense. You can summon monsters from the darkness, they can bite people's bodies, and they can also bite spirits. The upper limit is 12.
Odysseus roughly understood that the darkness that just surged towards the "Hermit Monk" like a tide was the power of these monsters.
This should be the ability of the "Hermit Monk" when he is Sequence 8 "Listener". At this sequence, it is easy to hear from their gods and learn some strange abilities.
Thinking of this, Odysseus concentrated again and checked the negative effects of the ring: after wearing it, it is easy to hear some crazy whispers. If you drink a small cup of fresh human blood before wearing it, the intensity of those whispers can be effectively reduced. After wearing it, it is easy to have some evil thoughts, and it is easy to affect the normal judgment of the wearer.
Generally speaking, these negative effects are not too difficult to avoid. First, you can only wear it when fighting, or always prepare a small bottle of human blood, or simply drink a cup of your own blood before using it.
The second effect seems to be less harmful, but it is difficult to avoid, because this effect is generally completed imperceptibly, and you can only seriously "examine" your own thoughts to avoid making mistakes.
Generally speaking, this seal is not bad, and it is no problem to sell it for 1,200 pounds.
Odysseus plans to sell another seal at the Tarot meeting next week, but this ring can be kept for a while, maybe it will be useful in the future.
After returning to the real world, Odysseus was in a good mood, and the whole thing was roughly clear.
Yesterday morning, when the "Hermit Monk" was using his Beyonder ability, he was accidentally seen by the vendor's nephew. So the "Hermit Monk" summoned a black monster to bite the child's spirit, making him lose the ability to speak, and wanted the child to die slowly in pain.
As a result, he was brought to Odysseus by the vendor, and the monster was killed by Odysseus.
The "Hermit Monk" noticed something, so he looked for him.
At the same time, this also made the members of the "Mechanical Heart" empty-handed.
In the end, the "Hermit Monk" was killed, and Odysseus made a lot of money from this "business".
Odysseus turned over and thought: If the other party is a member of the "Aurora Society", the "Aurora Society" should conduct some investigations. After all, a Sequence 7 died, and they can't just ignore it.
The subsequent problems are not difficult to resolve. If a member of the "Aurora Society" finds this place, he will immediately inform the "Mechanical Heart" and let the official Beyonders attract firepower.
Thinking about it, Odysseus fell asleep. The house has been set up with an early warning array, so he doesn't have to worry about being attacked.
The next morning, when Odysseus got up, he first saw a lot of hair on his pillow. He then remembered that one of the negative effects of the glove was hair loss.
He didn't expect that he would lose so much hair after wearing it for just a few minutes yesterday. If he uses it frequently in the future, he will have to drink some hair growth potion.
After breakfast, Odysseus put on the "Helm of Wisdom" and came to Enoch's bar dressed as "Gandalf". Enoch had gathered several of his subordinates to
wait here. When they saw Odysseus, who was wearing a wizard robe and a wizard hat, come in, they were stunned for a moment. Then a gang member laughed and said, "Do wizards also need to drink to relieve their sorrows?" Just when everyone was ready to laugh, they saw the boss Enoch's sullen face and cold eyes, so everyone held back their laughter. Some had already opened their mouths, but then closed them again.
Enoch asked Odysse politely, "Excuse me, were you introduced by Mr. Gal?"
I thought it was Mr. Gal who came here today to use the latest research he mentioned, but I didn't expect a wizard to come. Could it be that he used magic to give people some fighting skills?
"Yes." Odysseus took out a helmet from the bag: "Who will come first?"
Everyone was watching, and no one stepped forward.
Enoch had no choice but to call out the name, "Blackhand, you go first!"
The member nicknamed "Blackhand" stepped forward reluctantly, "Boss, is he really a wizard? Isn't he a liar?"
There are many liars these days, especially in the East District.
Odysseus suddenly sprinkled a handful of red powder, and the moment it was sprinkled, it turned into a ball of fire, burning above everyone's head for a second or two before dissipating.
Everyone stepped back in surprise, and some looked at this scene in surprise, even forgetting to step back.
Odysseus cleared his throat and asked again, "Who goes first?"
The member nicknamed "Blackhand" hurried over and sat down in front of Odysseus.
Odysseus put on the "Wisdom Helmet" for him, and then injected spirituality into him. The magic circle was activated instantly. After matching the brain wave frequency of "Blackhand", the knowledge in the "Fighting Scholar" characteristics was transmitted by the Amanda crystal and poured into the brain of "Blackhand".
The process was completed in a flash, and Odysseus took off his helmet: "All right."
"Black Hand" was a little unbelievable: "All right?"
Odysseus casually pointed at one of Enoch's subordinates: "Come here, let's have a fight."
The others started to make a fuss, pulled out the tables and chairs, and left a space. The two men began to fight, and "Black Hand" really had many martial arts skills when he attacked, and soon gained the upper hand.
Odysseus said: "One more person."
Enoch immediately sent out another subordinate to fight "Black Hand" two to one, and "Black Hand" was still not at a disadvantage.
"All right, all right." Odysseus used his long staff to push the three fighting people apart, as if he was pushing a few toys apart: "I think this is enough to prove that 'Black Hand' already has enough fighting skills in his mind.
"Now let's move on, next one! "
This time, Enoch didn't need to assign anyone. Everyone was vying to wear the helmet. Some gang members who had doubts about it and didn't plan to learn any fighting skills also expressed their willingness to accept it.
It only took a few minutes to inject the knowledge into everyone's mind.
Most people's brain wave frequencies can be coordinated with the spiritual frequency of the "smart helmet". Only three people had to use forced infusion, and they had a headache for a short while and then it was fine.
Odysseus carefully observed their adverse reactions and after making sure that there was nothing serious, he put away the helmet and said to Enoch: "There is some other knowledge mixed in the fighting knowledge, and you don't need to pay attention to that knowledge.
"It's best to ask a fighting coach to guide everyone again. Within a month, you and your subordinates can become fighting masters."
Enoch understood and said, "I'll find a coach in a while."
Then, the entire gang sent Odysseus out respectfully, and praised his "witchcraft" as being very clever.
After all, no one has ever seen that knowledge can be acquired without learning in this way.
This is why Odysseus used the identity of the "wizard" Gandalf to instill fighting skills in them. Their praise made Odysseus feel that the potion was slightly digested again.
This made Odysseus think further: "Wizards" must win people's trust, just like in a tribe, if people do not trust wizards, then activities such as sacrifices presided over by wizards will definitely not be respected. This wizard did a very bad job.
Furthermore, things like mysticism require some performances and means to make people believe. As long as the target trusts oneself, it is considered a successful performance. While summarizing
, Odysseus took a carriage back to his residence. When he got off the carriage, he saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door of his house.
In order to maintain the integrity of the story, one more chapter will be added., Chapter 149 A New Customer Arrives
The carriage parked in front of No. 66 Rose Street is very luxuriously decorated and more beautiful in appearance, which is different from most of the carriages running on the road.
Odysseus saw the carriage and estimated that the person sitting inside was a wealthy man who had bought a title.
Because there were some exclusive decorations for nobles on the carriage, but there was no noble family logo on the door, which generally meant that the carriage belonged to a baron or lord.
But generally, the inherited barons or lords did not have the financial resources to decorate their carriages so gorgeously.
So Odysseus guessed that the other party should be a wealthy man who had the ability to buy a title. While
he was thinking about it, he walked around the carriage and came to the door of his house.
At this time, the carriage door opened, and a man dressed as a butler asked, "Excuse me, are you Gandalf the Wizard?"
Odysseus did not turn his head and said, "Yes."
The butler said, "Sir, please come to the carriage to talk."
Odysseus opened the door and still did not turn his head: "If you want to talk, come to my place to talk."
As he spoke, he entered the door and put the cloth bag containing the "Helm of Wisdom" on the shelf.
The "Sir" outside also got off the carriage and entered the door with his personal butler. He was a man in his forties, a little fat, with a little mustache, a smiling face, and very shrewd eyes.
Odysseus asked him to sit down: "Sorry, I don't have tea or coffee here. You must not be used to my drinks."
The knight smiled and said, "I didn't come here to drink tea."
Odysseus glanced at the fireplace, and he waved his hand to sprinkle a small handful of transparent powder. A gust of wind blew and blew the firewood into the fireplace.
This action stunned the manservant behind the knight. The knight was also a little surprised, but he was a man who had seen the world and easily hid his surprise in his heart.
"Tell me what you want to talk to me about." Odysseus said, and casually sprinkled a small handful of powder again.
Huh~
The fireplace suddenly lit up by itself.
This action made the knight, who originally looked very casual, also lean forward and look a little nervous.
He cleared his throat to hide his emotions before introducing himself: "I am Brad Rick, you can call me Brad, or you can call me Lord Rick.
"I came to you because I don't know how to deal with a private matter, and I want to listen to your advice."
Odysseus nodded: "You say."
"I bought a manor in the suburbs last year," Brad said: "The main part of the manor is a small castle built during the 'Twenty Years' War'.
"That was the property of the once-prominent Frank family, but the family has declined in the past one or two hundred years, and now the Frank family only has the title of Viscount.
"The scenery there is very nice, and it is close to the mountains, so it is also very convenient for hunting. It is a very good manor.
"It was also by the lake there that I met the beautiful Miss Eleanor Frank, a gentle and beautiful girl with elegant conversation and a wide range of hobbies.
"We often chat on the grass and by the lake, and chat for a whole afternoon."
At this point, Brad still said with deep affection, but the following description made his expression more and more serious: "I asked Miss Eleanor about the details of her family, and learned that there was a branch of the Frank family living in a small village opposite the mountain.
"I talked about the village with my friend, but my friend heard that the village had been destroyed by a fire twenty years ago, and it was said that there were no survivors.
"I thought it was incredible, so I sent someone to investigate. Sure enough, I saw a burned village on the other side of the mountain, and it seemed that there were no villages around.
"But when I went to the castle again a few days ago, I met Miss Eleanor again and asked this question.
"She told me that she didn't live in the burned village. Under her guidance, I looked at the village where she lived from afar.
"There is a small village there, and some villagers can be seen moving around.
"But, I swear, there was no village there before!"
When he said this, Brad could no longer hide his nervousness.
He took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Wizard, what should I do now?"
Odysseus thought for a while before saying, "What is your belief?"
"The Goddess of Night."
"Then go to St. Samuel Church and tell the priest there by confession." Odysseus said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have encountered some abnormal events."
This is the responsibility of the Orthodox Church, and he doesn't intend to compete with the Orthodox Church for business.
Brad said with some difficulty: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but...but when I think of the beautiful Miss Eleanor, I think it would be a pity if her reputation is affected because of my misjudgment.
"So I hope you can help me check it out and determine whether to report it to the Orthodox Church."
Odysseus understood what the other party meant. In general, he was still lustful and wanted to make a final struggle, so he asked professionals to investigate Miss Eleanor. If it was just to confirm that it was weird but not dangerous, he would not tell the church. Such professionals are not easy to find. After Brad made inquiries, he found Odysseus.
Odysseus was about to refuse, but thought that it would be a waste not to make money from such a person: "Your description is very interesting. I can help you make a judgment, but you have to go to the site to take a look."
It sounds like there must be something wrong with Miss Eleanor. No matter what he found there, Odysseus planned to report the results of the investigation to "Mechanical Heart" after returning.
Brad smiled and said, "That's great."
He paused and said, "I plan to go to the manor today, or we can go together in a carriage?"
Odysseus thought about it for a while and nodded, "Okay, you guys go to the carriage and wait for me, I'll get ready."
"We may have to stay there overnight." Brad said, "Please make the corresponding preparations."
Odysseus said "hmm".
After Brad left with his personal manservant, Odysseus took some powders used in witchcraft, and then sorted out the extraordinary weapons and seals in the "Space Array" so that they could be taken at a critical moment.
After packing up everything, Odysseus hung the "out" sign outside the door and got on Brad's carriage.
The driver pulled the reins, and the luxurious and spacious carriage drove towards the western suburbs.
In the carriage, Brad faced the wizard and was somewhat nervous, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Wizard, please do not hurt Miss Eleanor before the investigation comes to a conclusion."
Odysseus thought: These rich people really like to seek excitement, or has this guy been bewitched by Eleanor with some ability?
He agreed casually: "Okay."
Then Odysseus asked: "Do you know how the Frank family declined?"
"I heard that the king no longer trusted them." Brad said: "At the same time, the heirs of that family did not catch up with the tide of the times and did not complete some emerging investments when they still had certain assets.
"Later, they could only rely on the income from the land to support the entire big family. After several generations of continuous squandering, they finally began to sell assets and completely declined 20 or 30 years ago."
Odysseus nodded: "It's better for me to find someone to ask. "
Who?" Brad was slightly stunned: "Do you want the carriage to go somewhere else first?"
"No." Odysseus smiled mysteriously: "You can ask here, but I need your help."
Brad was stunned: "My help?"
"You keep imagining what Miss Eleanor looks like and how she feels in your mind." Odysseus stretched out his left hand: "Put your hand in mine, okay, start imagining. Brad
was curious and afraid of Gandalf's "magic". He slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on Gandalf's palm. Fortunately, the wizard's hand was still warm, not cold.
Gandalf chanted a few spells, and suddenly his temperament changed, becoming gloomy and terrifying!
Brad's valet moved aside. He suddenly wanted to resign!
Suddenly, Gandalf grabbed Brad's hand and squeezed it hard. Brad tried to pull it back, but it seemed like he was caught by a big clamp. He used all his strength but couldn't pull it back.
At the same time, Gandalf's other hand appeared . The green will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have no temperature, making Brad feel a chill on the back of his head. In fear, he even forgot to struggle.
Brad's valet had already moved to the door, ready to jump out of the car at any time.
After the will-o'-the-wisp burned for more than ten seconds, "Gandalf" seemed to be relieved in vain. When the will-o'-the-wisp went out, he slowly let go of Brad's hand.
Then, "Gandalf"'s temperament became peaceful again.
This was of course another performance. He had been rubbing the will-o'-the-wisp frequently during this period, and had gained experience.
Odysseus looked at Brad and said, "I just summoned the undead of the Frank family..."
Brad rubbed his hands and was a little surprised: "Ah?"
Odysseus smiled: "Through Miss Eleanor in your mind, you can summon the corresponding undead."
Brad quickly said, "You are really a powerful wizard. "
His valet also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the horrified expression of Gandalf, this was not a difficult thing to accept.
Odysseus waved his hand and continued, "The Frank family was abandoned by the royal family and nobles because of their close relationship with some evil extraordinary people."
He believed that Lord Rick in front of him should know what an extraordinary person is.
Odysseus mainly hoped to use the performance just now to make Brad believe his words, because this was a definite intelligence obtained by the "Nanmu Ballroom" a long time ago.
This news surprised Brad a little, and his last fluke mentality was probably shattered.
Odysseus said again, "From now on, you have to obey my orders, so that I can at least guarantee your safety."
This was another purpose of his acting just now. Chapter 150 A Village of Tombs
Lord Brad Kerry's manor is located next to the Balchis Mountains in the west of Backlund. The main building is a tall castle built on a small hill.
Hundreds of years ago, nobles had the habit of building castles in the wilderness. Some of them built castles because the nobles' castles were the only decent buildings in the entire fiefdom, and the castles looked like they were built in the wild.
Some were built for hunting or banquets.
The castle that Brad bought was originally used for hunting and banquets, because the Frank family was quite wealthy at that time.
When they arrived at the main gate of the castle, the butler of the manor led the servants to greet them.
Brad got off the carriage and introduced Odysseus to everyone, saying that this was a friend of his who came to help him find out some things and asked everyone to cooperate.
Entering the castle, it was not as damp and dark as imagined. Obviously, it had undergone a lot of renovations. There were huge gas lamps to illuminate the originally dim interior of the castle, and the floor and wall tiles were also treated with moisture-proof treatment.
Although it has the appearance of a castle, the interior decoration is no different from that of a modern house.
Because it was already past 12 noon, Brad invited Odysseus to have lunch first.
After lunch, while drinking tea and chatting, Brad began to look out at the lakeside outside. This made Odysseus feel more and more that Brad must have been bewitched or influenced.
This is why he was unwilling to report the things here to the Orthodox Church, because he knew that it would hurt Miss Eleanor, and the influence he was under would make him resist doing things that would hurt Miss Eleanor.
But the desire to survive made him think that he should conduct some investigations, so he found Odysseus, a wizard who had just arrived in Backlund and had become famous.
As his thoughts surged, Odysseus said to Brad: "Find someone to take me around, and don't worry about me. Just do what you should do."
"Okay, okay." Brad immediately called the head male servant in the manor and asked him to take Odysseus around.
Then Brad went to the lakeside eagerly to meet Miss Eleanor.
While drinking tea, Odysseus asked the head butler: "Do you know where the village where the descendants of the Frank family once lived was destroyed by a fire twenty years ago?"
The head butler nodded: "I know, I was the one who investigated there before, asked many people, and it took me most of the day to find it."
Odysseus said "hmm": "Take me there to have a look."
The head butler asked: "Can you ride a horse?"
Odysseus nodded: "I learned it before."
The original owner had the skill of riding a horse in his memory. At that time, he was still the son of a small farmer, and horses were the most common means of transportation on the farm.
So the wizard followed the head butler on horseback, holding a staff in one hand and a rein in the other.
When he just left the castle, Odysseus saw Brad walking and talking with a woman on the lakeshore from a distance.
Odysseus did not rush over to alert the enemy, but planned to go to the village that was destroyed twenty years ago to have a look.
The manor was surrounded by a mountain path with trees on both sides. It was not long before Brad's situation became invisible. However, they had talked about this many times before and believed that nothing unexpected would happen.
After walking for about an hour on the mountain road and turning half a circle along the mountain behind the castle, they finally arrived at the ruins of the village.
This place was covered with vegetation and looked like an ordinary wilderness.
Only a few dark walls stood there, indicating that people had lived here before.
Odysseus looked around and asked, "Where did all the people in the village go?"
Theoretically, there should be survivors. After all, this is a village, not a cage or prison. Someone must have escaped from the fire.
The head male servant replied, "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Odysseus asked again, "Did you ask?"
The head male servant smiled bitterly, "I asked around, and someone said that everyone here was burned to death."
Odysseus smiled and said, "At least Miss Eleanor was not burned to death or injured, right?"
The head male servant did not answer. Odysseus looked back and saw that the other person's expression was a little strange, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it.
Odysseus didn't take it too seriously. After all, the servants thought it was the Lord's business, so they didn't discuss it if they could.
He asked again, "Where is the village where Miss Eleanor lives now?"
"On the top of the mountain over there." The head butler pointed in a direction.
Odysseus looked around and saw that there seemed to be a few houses on the mountain.
He asked again, "Have you been there?"
"No." The head butler said, "The Lord once ordered me to deliver something to that village, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't get into the village."
"Can't get in?" Odysseus was a little confused.
He had always been the one to play tricks to deceive others, and this was the first time he encountered someone playing tricks. "Yes." The male servant said affirmatively: "From a distance, you can indeed see the village, but you can't get close to it."
Odysseus nodded: "Wait here for a while, I'll go and take a look."
As he spoke, he sprinkled a handful of "flying powder" and took a few quick steps to fly into the air.
Amid the male servant's exclamation, Odysseus rushed from the treetops to the top of the mountain.
When the "flying technique" was about to end, Odysseus sprinkled another handful of "flying powder" and continued to fly forward.
Perhaps because he was flying forward and did not pass through the dense forest, he did not get lost. After two "flights", he reached the top of the mountain. When
he landed on the ground, Odysseus's spirit immediately felt that there was a very evil force spreading here.
And this is not a village at all, but a cemetery!
As far as the eye can see, there are graves of all sizes, new and old, some with tombstones, and some without tombstones.
All the graves are clean, without weeds, and there is not even a piece of rock around.
There is an open space in the middle of the cemetery, with several straw huts on the open space. From a distance, it does look a bit like residential houses.
In the middle of the straw hut is an altar divided into three layers, and a strange symbol is painted in the center of the altar.
Odysseus did not dare to look closely at the symbol, but he was sure that it was not a symbol representing the Orthodox Church.
Odysseus did not make a more detailed observation. His spiritual sense felt that the atmosphere here was very strange and it would be dangerous to stay too long.
So Odysseus used the "flying technique" to leave here. While flying down the mountain, he was thinking: What happened here has far exceeded my original expectations, and I must report it to the church immediately. Originally,
Odysseus thought that Eleanor might be an evil spirit in a strange state, but now it seems that the other party's state is definitely not as simple as an evil spirit. Odysseus suddenly lost his confidence.
After flying down the mountain, Odysseus said to the butler, "I've looked, there's no village there."
The butler was slightly stunned: "What's there?"
"Nothing." Odysseus smiled and said, "Maybe I didn't find that village either."
The butler was stunned again. He clearly saw the wizard land in that village.
"Let's go back." Odysseus smiled without waiting for the other party to continue asking questions, "It seems that I think too much, there is no problem here."
When they were about to return to the manor, Odysseus suddenly said that he wanted to ride a horse around. As a guest of the lord, the butler would certainly not stop him.
Odysseus was moving forward slowly at first, but when he left the castle, he started to let the horse run at full speed.
He was not running for his life, but to report to the "Mechanical Heart" as soon as possible.
On the way here, Odysseus noticed that there was a small town seven or eight kilometers away from the manor. When he came to this town, he really found the telegraph office here.
So he quickly sent an urgent message to the "Mechanical Heart", asking them to notify the "Night Watchers" and send people to support them.
The reason for notifying the "Night Watcher" was that Brad was a believer of the Church of the Goddess of Night. According to the practice of the official Beyonders, the "Night Watcher" should actually be responsible for this case.
It's just that Odysseus has joined this case, so the "Mechanical Heart" also has the opportunity to participate in the investigation.
After sending the telegram, Odysseus rode back slowly. Although it was a bit dangerous to go back, if he left suddenly, it would arouse the other party's suspicion. It is very likely that when the official Beyonder came, Miss Eleanor would have already run away.
However, in order to deal with possible dangers, Odysseus took a cloth bag from the "Wild Knowledge" and put several Beyonder weapons in the cloth bag.
So Odysseus returned to the castle with a staff and a backpack on his back, and asked the housekeeper where the accommodation was arranged for him. He put the backpack in the accommodation in advance to avoid being seen by Brad.
It was already past four in the afternoon. Odysseus estimated that the "Mechanical Heart" should be dispatching personnel and contacting the "Night Watcher" at this time. They should be able to set off after five o'clock.
So it would take at least seven o'clock in the evening to get here.
As long as he can handle the dinner later, he will have no problem making it to seven o'clock.
Odysseus sat in the room prepared for him, staring at the beautiful sunset outside.
The scenery here is really nice. Under the setting sun, the lake surface is also dyed the color of the sunset. A breeze blows, as if the setting sun is rising and falling.
While he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, the housekeeper came to invite him to dinner.
Odysseus came to the lobby on the first floor and saw Brad and a young lady already seated.
The young lady was very beautiful, and Odysseus even felt that her appearance met all his aesthetics, especially those eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. Odysseus felt that his heartbeat seemed to accelerate when he was looked at.
"Mr. Wizard, let me introduce you. This is Miss Eleanor I told you about." Brad stood up and said enthusiastically.
Odysseus nodded slowly: "Hello."
Eleanor smiled and said, "I know this Mr. Wizard. He came to my house in the afternoon and took a look at the altar I set up."
