Chapter 8 - 8

  Chapter 71: The mysterious and powerful "Chief"

  After the "Chief" wrote the answer, the waiter took it and began to let the people who had just paid for the information read it one by one.

  Soon it was Xio's turn. She saw the "Chief's" somewhat sloppy handwriting again:

  "The Rose School" is basically composed of Beyonders from the "Prisoner" path. Sequence 7 of the "Prisoner" path is called "Werewolf" and Sequence 6 is called "Zombie".

  You should have heard of the former. When the moon is full, it will transform into an irrational werewolf, while the latter will be very weak when the moon is full and crave the warm blood of living people.

  So it is easy to find Beyonders of these two sequences when the moon is full, which is why I think of the "Rose School".

  Xio returned the note to the waiter: I see, it really requires a wealth of mystical knowledge and rich experience in intelligence work to make such a guess.

  After seeing the information on the note, everyone admired the "Chief's" erudition and his keen insight.

  When most people had read the information, the party continued. "Lion" Byron stood up and said, "Mr. 'Chief', I haven't had time to thank you these days. Today I finally see you again..."

  He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your rescue. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. I'm always ready to obey your instructions."

  This is equivalent to publicly expressing loyalty.

  "Haha." "Elephant" suddenly smiled: "Do you think you have the ability to help the 'Chief' solve the problem?"

  This guy has no purpose, he is just a mouth.

  But Byron immediately said, "I think the 'Chief' will always have some trivial matters to deal with, and I can do it for him."

  "Elephant" wanted to make a few more sarcastic remarks, but Odysseus smiled first and said, "I promised you that I would do my best to save your life. There is no need to take it to heart."

  "No." Byron said, "This may not be a big deal for you, but it is very important to me."

  "Okay." Odysseus did not refuse again: "If there is a need, I will notify you."

  Byron bowed deeply again and sat back in his seat.

  The female member "Peacock" said: "It seems that 'Lion' was discovered by Kapin's people, but now there is no need to worry about Kapin's revenge, Kapin is dead."

  At this time, "Hound" suddenly said: "I heard that Kapin was shot by the 'Chief'."

  "What?" "Peacock" suddenly lost her usual leisure: "'Chief' is the thief 'Black Emperor'?"

  Others also talked about it. This was the second surprising news of this gathering.

  Seeing that the "Chief" did not stop, "Hound" continued: "It was the 'Chief' who also appeared at the scene of Kapin's death."

  But this news was still surprising. Everyone speculated about the relationship between the Chief and the "Thief".

  "Lion" Byron saw that everyone misunderstood the Chief, and hurried to help explain: "At that time, the 'Chief' was trying to save me, and happened to catch up with the 'Thief's' action."

  Everyone almost said "Oh" at the same time, and understood what happened.

  Xio also nodded slowly: So that's how it is.

  But then, she felt that this matter was not simple. Just now, "Hound" said that it was "Chief" who shot Capin, while the masked man said that "Chief" shot one of Capin's subordinates. Why are the two people's descriptions different?

  So Xio asked: "Mr. 'Chief', you also participated in the battle between 'Rogue' and Capin, right?"

  "Yes." Odysseus said: "Capin's subordinates mistakenly thought I was an accomplice of 'Rogue', so they attacked me, and I had no choice but to fight back."

  "Peacock" laughed and said: "In the end, I killed Capin himself when I fought back."     Odysseus smiled and said, "I just wanted to protect myself."

  Everyone showed an "I understand" expression, and Giraffe said, "To be honest, if I had the chance, I would also take the opportunity to kill this scum."

  "Hound" said, "I advise you not to do anything reckless. You don't have the protection of the church. As far as I know, Archbishop Horamick of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery personally came forward, so the 'leader' was not further investigated."

  If it was a wild Beyonder, the investigation would never end there. The "thief" just walked away, but after all, so many people died, so they had to arrest a few people as a token of respect.

  Xio listened to everyone's conversation and roughly understood: it seems that the descriptions of "Hound" and the masked man are accurate. The "leader" not only killed Kapin, but also killed at least one of Kapin's subordinates.

  Then Xio was a little confused: Why did the masked man emphasize the killing of Kapin's subordinates? And didn't mention the killing of Kapin himself?

  At the same time, "Peacock" asked: "'Leader', are there any Beyonders under Kapin?"

  Odysseus replied: "Yes."

  Everyone didn't find this strange, after all, there are many Beyonders who don't care whether the money they earn is dirty or not.

  "Peacock" asked again: "What are their Sequences?"

  Odysseus smiled and said: "I can't say that."

  This is indeed impossible to say. If everyone knew that Kapin's subordinate had a Sequence 6 Beyonder who was also an "Arbitrator" path, they would definitely make many associations.

  At that time, it is likely to attract the attention of the Loen royal family.

  Odysseus believed that the "Leader" should have been targeted by the people of MI9, but with the protection of the "Mechanical Heart", they were just staring at him.

  However, his answer was enough for people to hear that there was a certain hidden secret.

  After all, if there were only a few "low-sequence" Beyonders, the "Leader" could have told everyone, but his answer was "I can't say that."

  A group of intelligence personnel smelled that this answer was unusual. Even the "Leader" couldn't say it, which showed that Kapin's case was far from as simple as imagined.

  Xio's question was also answered: Kapin's subordinates were of great importance, so they attracted the attention of the masked man.

  Odysseus did not continue to discuss this topic, but said: "I have an important announcement.

  "From today on, this gathering is no longer prohibited from selling potion formulas. "

  This news immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the previous speculation about the Kapin case was immediately thrown to the back of their minds.

  Especially those members who were not Extraordinary yet, seemed to have hope of becoming Extraordinary all of a sudden.

  And several members such as "Peacock" and "Wolverine" all smiled. This would be a good opportunity to develop new members for the organization.

  But then Odysseus said: "I have six channels of potion formulas for you to choose from. Each formula is 230 pounds. Now I will explain some of the channels these formulas belong to, as well as their characteristics..."

  "Peacock" and "Wolverine" and other members suddenly stopped laughing, because whether to announce the sale of potion formulas at this party, they had to report to their superiors.

  In other words, they can only wait until the next party to sell the formula.

  And at this party, the "leader" gave everyone 6 choices, and they might not be able to develop any new members.  Chapter 72 Magic Potion Formula Wholesale Market

  Odysseus explained to everyone: "The six paths are 'Peepers', 'Foretellers', 'Sailors', 'Audience', 'Apprentices', and 'Praisers'."

  The members all stretched their ears, afraid of missing a word.

  "First, let's talk about 'Peepers'." Odysseus said: "The Beyonders of this path have more spirituality, the ability of clairvoyance, and a significantly enhanced learning ability. After becoming a 'Peepers', they will gain certain knowledge of mysticism and can master many ritual magic. "

  As the name suggests, the core ability of 'Foretellers' is divination. They are proficient in astrolabe divination, cane divination, dream divination, etc. At the same time, because they have more spirituality, they also have the ability of clairvoyance.

  "'Sailor' can swim as flexibly as a fish in the water. He can dive to a depth of 15 meters without any protective gear and move freely underwater for more than 10 minutes. There will also be a layer of phantom scales on the body surface, which can help the extraordinary people withstand certain injuries.

  "I must remind everyone to be cautious when choosing this path, because the 'Substituted Punishers' are the extraordinary people of this path. I am sure I can help you get the subsequent potion formulas, but most of the materials for brewing potions are controlled by the Storm Church.

  "The 'Audience' path can give you an observation ability that ordinary people can't achieve. It is easy to observe the other person's true thoughts from their expressions and behaviors.

  "The 'Apprentice' path has an extraordinary and practical ability 'Opening the Door' at the beginning. Even in a confined space, you can open an illusory door to leave.

  "The 'Singer' can use his singing to bring courage and strength to himself and his companions."

  Odysseus finished speaking in one breath. The party was silent for a long time. Even the "Hounds" and others didn't expect that the "Leader" actually mastered so many potion formulas. The gathering of the Mystic Research Society instantly turned into a wholesale market for potion formulas.

  Although some members here belong to a certain extraordinary organization, most of them have only seen the potion formulas of their own channels. Few people can say 6 sequence 9 level potion formulas in one breath like the "leader".

  At this time, Xio thought: "The leader" actually has the potion formula of the "apprentice"! But now Fors has obtained the potion formula of the 'Master of Magic', otherwise she can ask the "leader" if there is a subsequent formula for the "apprentice".

  Of course, she didn't know that the potion formula of the "apprentice" here was traded from her good friend.

  "I want to become a 'fortune teller'." The "giraffe" with a longer neck than ordinary people said first.

  This sentence was like a certain instruction. The members quickly started a craze to buy potion formulas. Ten members paid 230 pounds on the spot and obtained the potion formulas.

  Two members reserved the potion formulas because they did not have enough money.

  There are also a few members who are more cautious and want to think about it again and talk about it at the next gathering.

  But this is not bad. After all, Odysseus only spent 780 pounds and some knowledge to obtain these potion formulas. Today, he has recovered his investment and made a lot of money. At the

  same time, the overall strength of the Mystic Research Society has been enhanced, which is a hidden gain.

  After obtaining the potion formula, many people were unable to calm down for a long time. After four or five minutes, they returned to the intelligence transaction.

  "Hound" asked Hugh and the other three: "How have you completed the commission I issued before?"

  He had issued a commission before to find out who the informant of the "Manufactured Punisher" had met before?

  A member smiled and said, "I did some research, but the people I can find are all in the information you provided. Sorry, I don't plan to continue this task."

  "Hound" sighed: "I will increase the reward. I am willing to pay 20 pounds if I find one person!"

  The member who spoke just now smiled and said, "I seem to have motivation again."

  Hugh said at this time: "I found some clues, but I am still investigating."     The Hound smiled and said, "I look forward to hearing from you."

  The previous transaction of the potion formula made everyone quite excited, so the intelligence transaction was also quite lively. Some people received commissions, and some got the required intelligence.

  At around ten o'clock, Odysseus announced the end of this party.

  Afterwards, Odysseus left the basement with the 2,500 pounds of gains from this party. He was rich again.

  ...

  No. 15 Minsk Street, Cherwood District.

  Ding-ling-ding-ling~

  Klein, who had just returned from going out, was about to prepare a lunch for himself, but suddenly heard the doorbell. He

  walked quickly to the door, and when his hand touched the handle, the scene outside the door appeared in front of Klein's eyes. The person who came was an old man in his fifties, with some gray hair, dressed as a butler.

  He opened the door: "Hello."

  "Hello, Mr. Moriarty." The old man with the briefcase smiled just right: "I heard about your deeds from my friends."

  Klein smiled and said: "I hope it's not a bad deed. Please come in."

  After asking the old man to sit on the sofa, Klein poured tea and said: "May I help you?"

  The old man opened the bag and took out a folder and handed it to Klein: "I hope you can help me secretly investigate this person. Here are some information about him."

  Klein opened the folder and first saw a very realistic portrait. The person in the picture was wearing a mask, slender, wearing a black windbreaker, and holding a cigar in his hand.

  The moment he saw the portrait, Klein recognized it. This is Mr. Gal!

  Then he noticed that the masked man he saw at Kapin a few days ago was a little different from Mr. Gal. First, the style of the mask was different. Secondly, the person he saw in Kapin's villa wore a cloak, while Mr. Gal wore a windbreaker. He looked very different.

  However, Klein had already divined that the person he met that day was Mr. Gal. He guessed that this might be Mr. Gal's two identities, or just two different outfits.

  Continuing to flip through the pages, there was very little information about Mr. Gall in the file, only the general process of his creation of the "Nanmu Dance Hall", but there was a lot of information about Ms. Mandy and Mr. Gall's subordinate Enoch.

  Klein closed the file, pondered for a while, and then asked: "What kind of investigation do you want to do?"

  The old man said: "Find out this gentleman's residence and preferences; whether he has a wife or children; and who he works for."

  Klein pushed the file back: "If you just want to find out this gentleman's residence and preferences, I can consider taking this commission. If you want to find out his wife and children, I need to know what you want this information for, and who the employer is."

  "You are a detective with a strong sense of justice." The old man smiled and said: "But you have to know that the dance hall run by this person has killed countless innocent girls. Investigating him is a truly just act."

  Klein smiled and said: "Sorry, I can't take this commission."

  He had a good impression of Mr. Gall and didn't want him to be threatened by others.  Chapter 73 Klein's New Commission

  The old man dressed as a butler was a little surprised by the refusal of the Moriarty detective: "The reward for this commission will be very generous."

  Klein smiled: "Unless I know your true purpose and who your employer is?"

  If he had not met Mr. Gal before, he might really believe the old man's words, but he had been to the "Nanmu Ballroom" and met Mr. Gal.

  Klein had his own judgment on what Mr. Gal was doing, so he would not listen to the old man so easily.

  "Okay, okay." The old man took a deep breath and said, "If a friend hadn't strongly recommended you to me, I wouldn't tell you this."

  He said seriously: "My employer is Lord Asibourne. He is very disgusted with Gal's practice of harming Backlund women and hopes to rescue those women.

  "As for your reward, as long as you can find any of the three points mentioned above, you will get 50 pounds. If you can find all the information we need, I will pay you 180 pounds! "

  For an investigation commission, such a reward is indeed very generous, but it can also be indirectly explained that this commission must be very difficult.

  As for the purpose of this employer, Klein was not completely convinced. He stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

  He was more inclined to accept this commission because he was also very interested in Mr. Gal, but he had to divine whether there would be any danger after accepting this commission. After all, Mr. Gal was also an extraordinary person.

  Entering the bathroom, Klein took out the yellow crystal pendant and said to himself, "It is dangerous to accept this commission."

  "It is dangerous to accept this commission.

  " "..."

  After repeating it silently seven times, Klein saw the crystal pendant slowly rotating clockwise.

  In other words, there is a little danger, but it is acceptable.

  Splash~

  He opened the water valve of the toilet, creating the illusion of flushing the toilet, and then returned to the living room and said to the old man, "I accept this commission. "

  There is nothing important recently. Klein plans to investigate Mr. Gal and Lord Asibourne's intentions.

  ...

  On Saturday afternoon, in Gal's herbal medicine store,

  Simon visited again and reported to Odysseus the news he had inquired about: "I invited several waiters from the underground fighting arena to dinner, and finally found a way to get information about other players.

  "That is a butler who is responsible for cleaning the referee's room and the lounge. While working, he has the opportunity to witness many matches and has an understanding of many players."

  The underground boxing arena owner with a bad face smiled and said, "I have established a long-term cooperative relationship with him. Every time I pay him 5 pounds, I can get information about my opponent. If he has not seen his opponent, he can also ask others." Odysseus nodded

  slowly: "Very good, I will pay the 5 pounds, there is no need to deduct it from your part."

  "Yes, yes, I knew you would not be stingy with such a small amount of money." Simon smiled.

  Now Odysseus has become his god of wealth, which can make him earn an extra 20 to 30 pounds every week. Of course, he has to lower his profile.

  Simon continued, "This match is different from the last one. It seems that since we know you have a special weapon, we don't plan to let you participate in a match where you can use weapons for the time being. Instead, we will have an unregulated fighting match.

  " "You cannot use any weapons in the fight. It's just a simple unregulated fight. The rules are the same as those of most underground fighting arenas in Backlund. As long as someone is knocked unconscious or admits defeat because he can't beat his opponent, the match is over."

  "Your opponent is called Eden. It is said that he has very magical abilities. He can make a person very unlucky and fall easily. He can also create flashes, fog, and so on.

  "The most amazing thing is that he can easily push open the wall and hide in the house."

  Odysseus immediately understood that this must be a "master of tricks". Among the low-sequence extraordinary people, the "master of tricks" is considered to be an extraordinary person with relatively rich abilities.     Especially their "falling technique", which is very useful in free fighting.

  But in Odysseus's opinion, this sequence also has great disadvantages, such as "thin blood" and "low defense".

  "I see." Odysseus nodded and went to get his pipe, but soon put it down again, because the fire in Kapin's villa the day before yesterday made his throat very uncomfortable.

  If it were an ordinary person, he would probably cough for a while, but as a sequence 8, Odysseus just felt that his throat was not very comfortable.

  Simon said again: "In addition, tomorrow's game time has been changed to the afternoon. Please prepare in advance. I will pick you up at two o'clock."

  Odysseus was thinking about how to deal with the "Master of Magic", and just said "um" casually.

  "I also got a piece of news that I don't know if it's true or not."

  Odysseus looked at Simon and said, "Tell me about it."

  "It is said that your opponent Eden belongs to a fighting organization. This organization is basically composed of outstanding players in the underground fighting arena. Anyone who beats them will be retaliated by them."

  Odysseus smiled slightly and said, "What is the attitude of the noble fighting arena towards them?"

  Simon smiled, revealing his yellow teeth, "The fighting arena only needs exciting matches."

  His implication was that because it can provide exciting matches, the people in the underground fighting arena chose to ignore the organization.

  Odysseus nodded. He knew about this organization. In addition to honing his fighting skills, another important reason why Odysseus took the initiative to participate in the Extraordinary Fighting Competition was to go for this organization.

  It sounds like they are just "fake fighting", but they have also done many shameful things for the nobles.

  When Odysseus was at Sequence 9, he repeatedly exposed their evil deeds to the "Mechanical Heart", but the "Mechanical Heart" was forced by the pressure of the nobles to arrest them, and even failed to conduct a decent investigation.

  Of course, Odysseus did not have a complete plan at the beginning. It was only in the past two days that he thought of using some of the characteristics of this organization to try to kill several members of this organization.

  After Simon left, Odysseus prepared to wear a knight's suit with a "defense array" in tomorrow's game. As long as he could resist the opponent's "tricks", he could easily defeat the opponent when he got close to him.

  After having a basic strategy for the enemy, Odysseus continued to go to the backyard to write the "Comprehensive Guide to Fighting".

  ...

  Klein's investigation of Mr. Gar began at the "Nanmu Dance Hall".

  That night, under the cover of darkness, he ambushed in the back street of the dance hall, hid in a corner and waited for more than half an hour, and finally waited until some waiters got off work.

  Klein quietly followed one of them, knocked him out, and took him to an undisturbed dark alley.

  He first used "Amanda" pure dew, essential oil extracted from deep sleeping flowers and other spiritual materials to make the opponent's spirit body in a very relaxed state, and then built a "spiritual wall" to communicate with the spirit.

  Because Klein didn't know whether the person in front of him was good or evil, he used the psychic method he learned from Ms. Daly, which was less harmful to others.

  Otherwise, if he forced the psychic communication, the other party's "mental body" would definitely suffer irreversible damage.

  Soon, the waiter who had fainted suddenly sat up, opened his eyes, and looked forward with blurred eyes.

  Klein also used "meditation" to put himself in a chaotic state of half-asleep and half-awake, and controlled his spirit to enter the spirit world and invade the other party's "mental body".

  At this moment, countless memories emerged beside Klein.  Chapter 74: The Opponent "Master of Magic" (Additional Update)

  Communicating with a living person is different from communicating with a dead person. Even if a living person's mind is in a chaotic state, he has not lost his basic logic.

  So once you enter the opponent's "mental body", all of the opponent's memories will emerge around Klein's spirit body and flow like water.

  At this time, you must carefully look for the memory you need, otherwise the opponent's logic and memory will be confused and become a madman or a fool.

  Communicating with a dead person is not so troublesome. The opponent's memory will be like a pool of stagnant water in front of you, and you don't have to worry about causing harm to a dead person.

  Klein used divination to obtain the memory he needed, and this method would not cause any harm to the waiter: "Memories of Mr. Gal.

  "Memories of Mr. Gal.

  "..."

  After silently reciting seven times, the rolling waves of memory faded, and only a part of the memory appeared in front of Klein.

  To his surprise, the waiter did not have many memories of Mr. Gal.

  Among these memories, some are about other gangs coming to make trouble at the beginning of the establishment of the "Nanmu Dance Hall". Mr. Gal came forward to deal with them and sent them away politely. The next day, he heard that the gang leader had died.

  There were also some guests with status who were making trouble, and they were also driven away by Mr. Gal sternly, and the safety of the girls was protected.

  But since about a year and a half ago, the business of the dance hall has gradually become regular, and Mr. Gal rarely appears in the dance hall. It is basically Ms. Mandy who takes care of the business here.

  However, the waiters can still occasionally hear some rumors about Mr. Gal, such as someone who originally planned to come to the "Nanmu Dance Hall" to make trouble, but before he took action, he was solved by Mr. Gal.

  For example, Mr. Gal is actually an earl. He sympathized with the plight of the street girls and established the "Nanmu Dance Hall". Now there is nothing for him to deal with in this dance hall, so he returned to the castle to enjoy life.

  The only useful memory may be that Mr. Gal often appears in a room on the third floor of the dance hall. That room is opposite the front desk on the third floor, and no one is allowed to enter.

  After reading these memories one by one, Klein had a better understanding of Mr. Gal in his heart: he was very resourceful, and he could still control the ballroom when he was not there.

  Then Klein began to divine: "The living conditions of the girls in the Nanmu Ballroom.

  " "The conditions of the girls in the Nanmu Ballroom.

  " "..."

  Many memories came up again, and Klein selected a few of them to read. Some were girls dancing with guests, and some were girls returning to the dormitory together.

  This waiter actually witnessed the wedding of a girl and the chef of the ballroom. The ceremony was held in the ballroom. Ms. Mandy sternly warned the chef not to look down on the girl because of her past experience.

  After the marriage, the girl used her savings to open a dessert shop, and the chef continued to work in the ballroom. Their daughter was just born last month.

  After reading a few more memories, Klein exited the "psychic" state. At this time, he no longer doubted Mr. Gal's purpose for establishing the "Nanmu Ballroom."

  Klein moved the waiter to the street he had just walked on, pretending that he had fallen. When the waiter woke up, he would think that he had hit his head when he fell and fainted for a while.

  He returned to the dark corner of the street and hid again, planning to explore the room on the third floor tonight.

  As usual, he divined the next action: "The next exploration action is safe.

  "The next action is safe.

  "..." After repeating it

  silently

  seven times, he flicked the coin in his hand and it fell into his palm.

  It was the reverse side!

  Unsafe.

  Klein took out the yellow crystal pendant and divined: "The next exploration is dangerous.

  "The next exploration is dangerous.

  "..."

  After repeating it silently seven times, the pendant rotated in a clockwise direction, and the speed of rotation was neither fast nor slow!

  There is a certain degree of danger!

  Klein guessed that Mr. Gal might have set up some extraordinary traps in that room.     So he followed his heart's thoughts and canceled the next exploration.

  ...

  On Sunday afternoon, Simon picked up Odysse to participate in the fighting competition.

  On the way to the competition, Odysse saw a few beggars in tattered clothes begging on the street from the car window. He suddenly said: "There are still many people who don't have a house to live in Backlund."

  Simon didn't quite understand what Odysse meant, so he didn't dare to answer.

  Odysse just suddenly thought of the scene in the simulated arena, and finally he could only sigh in his heart: "This is Backlund."

  The longer he lived here, the more he felt that this city did have a bright and beautiful side, but it was not as good as people said.

  Arriving at No. 155 King's Avenue, Odysse met the middle-aged man dressed as a butler again. The procedure was the same as last time. The other party first explained the rules. Although weapons could not be brought into the arena, the props inside could be used to attack the opponent.

  What was different from last time was that there was a body search this time.

  Odysse handed the cane and gun bag he carried with him to Simon and accepted the body search calmly.

  Except that the knight's clothes he was wearing were a bit thick, the waiter did not find any weapons.

  Just like last time, after sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, the game started. Odysseus entered the arena through the iron gate. The street with no roofs on both sides of the buildings appeared in front of him again.

  Although it was daytime this time, the lights inside were still on, making it difficult to see the situation in the audience seats.

  However, Odysseus's spiritual sense felt that there were many spectators up there at this time.

  On the way here just now, Simon said that there were three rounds of competition here on Sunday, one in the afternoon, one at seven o'clock in the evening, and the last round at

  nine o'clock in the evening. The afternoon competition was an unregulated fight, and the evening competition was an unregulated fight or a fight with cold weapons. As for the one at nine o'clock in the evening, Simon didn't know what kind of competition it was.

  At this time, Odysseus saw his opponent, a man about thirty years old, very thin, and also wearing a dark knight's clothes.

  After the game started, neither of them rushed to attack, but walked towards each other step by step.

  Odysseus realized that today's opponent was more difficult to deal with than the last one, not only because his sequence was higher, but also because he was very confident and calm.

  When the two sides were about seven or eight meters apart, Odysseus' opponent Eden suddenly smiled and said, "You have a good momentum, not like a newcomer."

  Odysseus did not speak, but suddenly launched an attack.

  Eden raised his hand suddenly, and Odysseus felt his feet slip, and suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

  This was completely unprepared, and Odysseus grimaced and could not get up for a while.

  The audience immediately applauded. This was Eden's usual move. Although they had seen it many times, everyone still felt it was amazing and did not understand how he did it.

  The explanation given by the fighting arena was: this is a magic skill.

  Eden took this opportunity to quickly step forward, laughing and saying, "You are too impatient." He kicked Odysseus in the face.

  At this moment, Odysseus seemed to be no longer in pain. After dodging Eden's kick,

  he kicked Eden's other leg with a sweeping kick. Eden was knocked down immediately.

  There was a small exclamation from the audience, and everyone realized that Eden had been fooled.

  　This time the extra chapter was added because the author had a good inspiration yesterday and wrote an extra chapter. Since the author basically writes and publishes as he goes, he will add an extra chapter.

  　　In addition, the author would like to thank everyone for their subscriptions. The performance of this book is much better than "Mystery: The New Black Emperor's Coming". Generally, the first recommendation after it is put on the shelves is when the average subscription reaches 500. It took one and a half months for the previous book to reach an average subscription of 500. Now, after about a week on the shelves, the average subscription is about to reach 400.

  　　Thank you very much for your support and subscriptions. When it is recommended, if conditions permit, there will be extra chapters ╰(￣▽￣)╭  Chapter 75 Victory comes too easily

  This is Odysseus's strategy. Since the opponent's "falling technique" and other "tricks" are difficult to deal with, he can trick the opponent into coming close and then launch an attack.

  When Eden spoke for the first time, Odysseus knew that the opponent would definitely be fooled, because Eden was a little too confident and might underestimate the enemy.

  Things were just as Odysseus expected. He successfully kicked Eden down, and then immediately jumped up to chase.

  After Eden rolled a few times, he raised his hand towards Odysseus again, and suddenly a thick fog appeared in front of the two of them.

  Odysseus actually broke in like this. As soon as he entered the thick fog, Odysseus was ambushed and hit in the chest with a punch.

  But Odysseus seemed to be unaware of the pain. He grabbed Eden's wrist with one hand and clenched his fist with the other hand, hitting the opponent's armpit fiercely, knocking the opponent out and hitting him hard against a wall.

  Inside the knight's uniform worn by Odysseus, there was a modified "defense array" drawn by him.

  The "low-sequence" punches and kicks were just tickles for him.

  The mist soon dissipated, and Odysseus continued to pursue and attack.

  Eden quickly pressed the wall behind him with his hand, opened an illusory door, and hid in the room.

  He leaned against the wall with his armpits, looking painful. He felt that every breath he took was so painful that he almost fainted.

  But Eden didn't dare to stay and ran to the other side of the house.

  Odysseus did jump to the top of the wall immediately. Just as he was about to continue attacking, Eden stretched out his hand and suddenly burst into light, illuminating the whole room.

  Odysseus was prepared and turned his head away, but his eyes were still slightly shaken, and everything in front of him was a little black, and it took a second or two to recover.

  But at this time, Eden had used the ability of "opening the door" again to escape from the room.

  Odysseus continued to chase, but suddenly his feet slipped again and fell from the top of the wall.

  He quickly turned over and landed on his back. The knight's suit helped him to bear the damage of the fall again. This time he did not stop, but stood up suddenly and chased his opponent at the fastest speed.

  After being delayed like this, Eden had already run six or seven meters away.

  Although Odysseus was agile, he was not good at running. After chasing for half a minute, he only closed the gap by one or two meters.

  Eden's injuries had almost recovered. He came to a wall again and "pushed the door" in.

  Odysseus also jumped to the top of the wall like before. As soon as he stood on it, a cold light flew over.

  He quickly dodged it. It turned out to be a sharp knife.

  Only then did Odysseus see the situation inside the house clearly. These rooms were restored to a high degree, and there were even sheets on the bed. Correspondingly, there was a complete set of knives in the kitchen.

  The sharp knife just now was a knife in the kitchen.

  Eden was very familiar with the scene here, so he went directly into the kitchen and used the knives inside to attack Odysseus.

  According to the rules, although weapons cannot be brought into the venue, props can be used inside, and these knives are one of the props.

  Throwing knives is also a kind of magic trick. Eden smiled and threw the knives in his hand accurately at Odysseus.

  Theoretically, Odysseus should have dodged immediately and sought a way to fight the enemy.

  But Odysseus did the opposite and suddenly opened his arms and rushed towards Eden, letting the knives stab his chest.

  This response was beyond the audience's expectations, and they screamed again.

  It was also beyond Eden's expectations. When Odysseus rushed close to him, he reacted and retreated.

  But he retreated a little too late. Odysseus opened his arms and attacked fiercely, hitting Eden's ears.

  Eden suddenly felt dizzy, and the tinnitus drowned out all the sounds. He raised his hand and used the "fall technique" almost as a conditioned reflex.     Odysseus's foot slipped, but this time he held onto the table and supported his whole body with one hand.

  Eden sat on the ground with his buttocks, his eyes somewhat blank.

  If it was an ordinary person, Odysseus would have knocked him out with that blow.

  Odysseus quickly stepped forward and continued to chase him. Eden had to grit his teeth and persist. He glowed again, hoping to catch Odysseus' eyes and buy time for his recovery and escape.

  But Odysseus simply closed his eyes and kicked the other man in the chest. Eden crashed into the cupboard and fainted.

  Odysseus then pulled out the two sharp knives stuck in his chest and threw them on the ground.

  Only then did everyone notice that there was no blood on Odysseus' chest!

  The sharp knife just now didn't hurt him?

  At this time, the referee announced: "Lelouch wins."

  Odysseus was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the name he left here before was Lelouch.

  He kicked the door open and walked towards the iron door with some disappointment.

  Originally, Odysseus thought that this time he would face an opponent of equal strength, but he did not expect that the opponent relied entirely on his extraordinary ability, and once he got close, his weak defense was quickly exposed.

  However, there was applause at the scene, which was even more enthusiastic than the applause at the end of the last game.

  Although this game was not very exciting in terms of performance, Odysseus once again showed a huge advantage and defeated an enemy that everyone thought was very strong, so he applauded.

  Odysseus ignored the applause and quickly returned to the lounge. The middle-aged man who looked like a butler immediately stepped forward and smiled, "Mr. Lelouch, you have won two games in a row. In the next game, you will be arranged with a more powerful opponent. Please be prepared.

  "Of course, the corresponding remuneration will also increase."

  Odysseus nodded: "It is better not to let me win so easily again. "

  I originally came here to hone my fighting skills, but both opponents were unsatisfactory.

  The previous one's fighting skills were at least quite good, but today's opponent's fighting skills are just slightly better than ordinary people.

  Before the middle-aged man who looked like a butler had time to speak, a voice at the door said, "What a big tone."

  Odysseus looked at the door. The person who came was a middle-aged man with two small mustaches. Odysseus had seen him before, when he returned to the lounge after the last game. At that time, the middle-aged man was holding a two-handed sword and preparing for the game.

  The butler immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Chibman."

  The middle-aged man called Chibman smiled slightly, then said to Odysseus, "Your fighting skills are indeed very powerful, but not to the level where you have no opponents."

  Then he said, "How about we go out and talk?"

  Odysseus refused, "Sorry, I don't have time."

  He smiled and said, "I'm waiting for my reward."

  Chibman was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Odysseus to refuse.

  The butler immediately said, "It will be brought right away. "

  Then he said to Odysseus: "Mr. Lelouch, this Mr. Chibman is a top player here."

  The implication was that he should not refuse so bluntly.

  "I see." Odysseus nodded and said: "Mr. Chibman, your companion Eden is really weak."  Chapter 76: Real Fighting

  Odysseus knew very well that Chibman in front of him was one of the leaders of the fighting organization that Simon had mentioned before.

  Simon had only vaguely inquired about the information about the fighting organization, but Odysseus had known about the existence of this organization a long time ago, and was very clear about their way of recruiting new members.

  Generally, they would first try to win over the players who defeated their members, and would retaliate if they failed to win them over.

  Odysseus also knew the general strength of this organization. There were three leaders in total, two with Sequence 7 and one with Sequence 8. Chibman was the Sequence 8.

  As for the other members, they were basically the same kind of people as Eden.

  After hearing Odysseus's sarcasm, Chibman sneered and turned away.

  At this time, the waiter brought Odysseus's reward, and the middle-aged man who looked like a butler reminded him: "You should take the carriage and leave in a while. Don't go out if you have nothing to do recently."

  "Thank you." Odysseus said casually: "I am looking for an opponent who can really fight."

  The "personality" he gave to Lelouch is a bit arrogant and likes challenges.

  After collecting the 260 pounds reward, Simon, who was already sweating anxiously, quickly called for a rental carriage and got on the car to leave.

  In the car, Odysseus gave Simon 31 pounds: "26 pounds of it is the reward I promised you before, and the other 5 pounds is the cost of helping me continue to find out information."

  Simon took the money and said: "Just now...just now you offended Chibman, will he send someone to attack us?"

  "Yes." Odysseus looked back: "We have been followed."

  Simon became more and more nervous.

  Odysseus seemed to have expected this. He checked his pistol and cane and told Simon: "Go to any church and pray for half an hour to see if anyone is following you.

  "If someone asks you where I am, tell them that I live at 176 Hewan Avenue."

  Simon was stunned: "There... there is..."

  "That is one of my bases." Odysseus said lightly: "If you reveal the address of Gar's Herbal Medicine Store and 77 Hailin Avenue, the consequences will be serious."

  Simon thought of his bar and daughter, so he immediately said: "I understand."

  Odysseus nodded and finally reminded: "Act realistically.

  "In addition, if their people come to you for the second time, you don't have to be polite to them."

  After saying that, he put away his pistol, picked up his cane, and jumped off the carriage.

  Odysseus did not fall because of the fast driving of the carriage. He walked quickly into an alley.

  A carriage following behind also stopped, and two men got off from it and immediately followed.

  When Odysseus reached the middle of the alley, two carriages stopped in front of him. Chibman, whom he had just met, got off one of the carriages and took off his hat while shouting, "We meet again."

  "Yes." Odysseus smiled and said, "You still look like a decent opponent."

  There were several open doors in the alley. When the people inside saw this, they quickly closed the doors.

  There were two or three pedestrians in the alley. They had to stand against the wall and wait for Odysseus to pass before leaving quickly.

  Chibman took off his windbreaker again and threw it to the assistant behind him: "Boy, I'll show you what fighting is."

  As he spoke, he rushed towards Odysseus.

  Odysseus put his cane aside and rushed towards Chibman.

  When he got close, Chibman suddenly jumped up and threw a punch. Odysseus immediately saw the opponent's flaw and kicked him in the lower abdomen.     Chibman smiled, and turned half-way in mid-air to avoid Odysseus' kick. He swung out his elbow, facing away from Odysseus, but was able to accurately hit Odysseus' temple.

  The flaw in his lower abdomen just now was deliberately exposed to Odysseus, in order to trick Odysseus into attacking the trap there.

  Although Odysseus was on one leg at this time, he turned suddenly to avoid Chibman's elbow, and leaned his shoulder against Chibman's back to push him out.

  "Lean" is a very powerful move in Bajiquan. Suddenly leaning towards the opponent can easily knock him down.

  At this time, Odysseus exerted force suddenly, enough to make Chibman hit the wall hard.

  But Chibman reacted quickly, stretched out one foot and kicked the wall, and landed steadily!

  The two faced each other again, and both smiled again.

  This is the opponent Odysseus wants to find!

  The people who came with Chibman watched the two men fighting with bated breath. The series of actions of the two men just now only took a moment, but it was very exciting, making these people who are proficient in martial arts feel like they have seen a battle between masters.

  At the same time, they realized that the previous fight between "Lelouch" and Eden was not full of strength.

  Then Odysseus and Chibman fought again. The two men still fought fast, and Odysseus used the leaning, pushing, and bumping of Bajiquan to the fullest.

  Chibman also responded with all his strength, and for a while they were evenly matched.

  After three or four minutes, they separated again, looking at each other with a slight breath, preparing for the next round of battle.

  Chibman suddenly said, "Join us."

  Odysseus shook his head again: "I like to be free."

  At this time, behind Odysseus, two of Chibman's subordinates drew their daggers and stepped forward, ready to besiege Odysseus.

  Odysseus noticed something, and he laughed happily, "That's all for today, we'll fight another day."

  As he spoke, he stepped back, grabbed his cane, and rushed in the opposite direction of Chibman.

  The two men who had drawn their daggers raised their daggers to block.

  Odysseus did not dodge, but suddenly raised his cane. The hands of the two men holding the daggers tilted involuntarily, and the two daggers "stuck" to Odysseus's cane!

  Odysseus knocked one of them away and ran to the end of the alley.

  Chibman glared at the two subordinates holding daggers, but still hurriedly led people to chase after them: "Don't run! If you don't join us today, the person who leads the team to find you next time will not be me! And I will kill you!"

  Odysseus, who was running in front, understood that the other party meant to remind and advise, and waved his hand without looking back.

  Arriving on the street, Odysseus reached out and nimbly climbed onto a speeding carriage. Chibman quickly asked some of his subordinates to continue chasing, while others drove carriages or hired carriages to catch up.

  With this delay, a distance had been opened between them.

  Odysseus stopped in front of a department store, entered from the bustling front entrance, and came out from the back door.

  He glanced at a corner of the parking lot, where there were several carriages with noble family emblems. While one of the coachmen was smoking, he rushed over and quietly got on one of the carriages.

  The noble carriage was very spacious and had a faint smell of perfume. There was a large storage space under the seat, which contained some supplies and drinks, and it was enough for one person to hide.

  Odysseus hid inside and closed the movable door.

  After waiting for a few minutes, he heard someone get on the carriage, and one of the sweet voices asked, "Susie, what's wrong with you?"  Chapter 77 Audrey and the Bandits

  Backlund Department Store is one of the largest department stores in Loen. Two floors of this store are not open to the public, but only to nobles and wealthy people.

  After all, no matter how noble the nobles are or how rich the wealthy are, they all have the need to shop.

  Audrey Hall invited a few good friends to go shopping in the department store on Sunday afternoon.

  When they said goodbye to each other and Audrey returned to the carriage with the maid Anne and the big dog Susie, Susie suddenly felt a little uneasy.

  It was not Susie's fault that she was slow to react. There was a faint smell of perfume in the carriage, which had a certain impact on her sense of smell.

  She did not notice it when she first got on the carriage, and only when she lay on the carpet did she find that there was a strange smell in the carriage.

  Audrey immediately noticed Susie's uneasiness, and she asked, "Susie, what's wrong with you?"

  "Woof!"

  Audrey also noticed that there were a few tiny wrinkles on the carpet, but when they got off the car before, those places were not wrinkled.

  So Audrey immediately smiled and said, "Annie, I decided to buy the mirror I just saw. We can go shopping again."

  She was about to get up and get out of the car, and the movable door under their buttocks quickly opened. Odysseus rolled out from inside and instantly pulled out a gun, pointing it at the two people and the dog opposite.

  In front of Odysseus, it was indeed the blonde, blue-eyed, extremely beautiful, pure and elegant Miss Justice.

  He sighed in his heart: She is indeed too beautiful.

  Annie was startled and was about to scream, but Odysseus pointed the gun at her: "Don't scream."

  Then he looked at Susie: "You are not allowed to scream either. "

  Susie looked at the revolver and nodded obediently, almost raising her dog's paw.

  "I have no intention of hurting you, I'm just avoiding an opponent." Odysseus smiled.

  Yes, Chibman is enough to be called an opponent.

  At this time, there was a noise outside, and Chibman was leading people to search one carriage after another.

  Odysseus slowly slid onto the carpet and continued to point his gun at the people and dogs on the opposite side.

  Anne was terrified, Susie was also trembling with fear, only Audrey was full of normality, and looked at the bandit in front of her with a smile.

  As a "mind reader", she certainly had noticed that Odysseus had no ill intentions.

  Moreover, she was very interested in Odysseus's purpose and the opponent he was avoiding.

  This noble lady who was fantasizing about having her own big adventure was exposed to such an exciting thing for the first time.

  I don't know who shouted: "This is the Earl's carriage, who dares to search it?"

  Chibman and others really didn't dare to continue searching. To be precise, the organization he belonged to was established by the nobles, and their mission was to obey the nobles and entertain the nobles.

  Moreover, in Backlund, even the extraordinary people did not dare to offend the nobles easily.

  The carriage slowly moved forward and drove out of the parking area of ​​the department store. Chibman and others dared only observe from a distance.

  At this time, Anne seemed to have just reacted. She was ready to rush down the carriage and take the bullet from the gangsters, reminding the guards outside that there were gangsters in the carriage and Miss Audrey was in danger.

  But Audrey stopped her first: "Don't be impulsive, Anne."

  She knew that if Anne really rushed down, things would get very bad.

  Odysseus slowly got up and sat back on the chair opposite them: "This lady is right, you will be knocked out by me before you touch the door handle."

  Anne took a deep breath and said: "Jesse must have been lazy again just now, and didn't even notice that someone sneaked into the carriage.

  "And those department store guards, they didn't even notice it?"

  Jesse was the coachman of the carriage.

  Audrey thought: Because the person in front of you is an extraordinary person, don't expect ordinary people to discover the whereabouts of extraordinary people.     Odysseus joked, "I will be invisible, they can't see me."

  He added, "Don't be nervous, I will leave after we walk a few streets."

  Audrey asked curiously, "Why did they arrest you?"

  "They wanted me to join their organization," Odysseus said truthfully, "but I refused them."

  Audrey seemed to understand something, "Is it a mysterious organization?"

  "Not so mysterious." Odysseus replied, "If you use the channels at home and ask around at 155 King's Avenue, you can find out about them."

  Audrey recalled that 155 King's Avenue seemed to be a fighting arena, and her brother Alfred in the South Continent had watched a match there.

  Then she asked again, "Did they even threaten you with weapons?"

  Odysseus looked down at his chest, the damage caused by Eden's sharp knife, and smiled at Audrey, "You have a good observation ability."

  Although this knight's suit helped him resist the two sharp knives, there were still some damages.

  Hearing the other party's praise, Audrey suddenly felt that the tone, eyes and demeanor of the gangster were somewhat familiar. In fact, she had this feeling since just now.

  But she thought about it carefully and couldn't remember where she had seen such a person.

  After taking a deep breath, Audrey continued to ask without wasting this "wonderful experience": "Why do you wear a mask?"

  Odysseus smiled and said: "To protect you."

  Audrey immediately understood and nodded slowly.

  Anne on the side didn't quite understand: "Protect us?"

  "Yes." Odysseus said: "For example, in this case, I don't have to kill you to silence you."

  Anne opened her mouth in fear, and then said: "The one in front of you, but Huo..."

  "Okay, Anne!" Audrey immediately interrupted the words of the personal maid. She knew that the gangster in front of her would not be intimidated by her father's name, and Anne's intimidation would only reveal more information about herself.

  Odysseus praised again, "What a calm and rational lady."

  He paused and said, "If I remember correctly, the family emblem on the carriage seems to belong to the Hall family."

  Odysseus didn't know any family emblems, but he knew that Audrey's father was Earl Hall.

  Then he smiled and said, "I have heard that Earl Hall's daughter is very beautiful and has the reputation of 'Backlund's most dazzling gem'. Today, I found that such praise is too conservative."

  "Thank you." Audrey smiled and said, "I won't tell others that you have appeared in this carriage, but in return, please tell me your name."

  "Lelouch." Anyway, it's just an identity that has just been "made". If a noble comes to cause trouble, it's better not to use this identity.

  "Okay, Mr. Lelouch." Audrey smiled.

  Then Odysseus looked at Anne on the side, and Anne immediately said: "I won't tell anyone else."

  "I believe you." Odysseus smiled and said: "If any nobles come to trouble me, I will sneak into the Earl's Mansion quietly, and cut off your ears and nose while you are asleep."

  He stood up and said: "Goodbye! Ladies."

  After that, Odysseus put away the gun and jumped off the carriage.

  Audrey hurried to the window, and she saw Mr. Lelouch quickly entered a church with the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" logo.

  　Tomorrow is the time for the Tarot Club again. At the same time, starting from tomorrow, 2,000-word chapters will be changed to 3,000-word chapters, three changes will be changed to two updates, and 3,000-word chapters will be used for additional updates.

  　　This will help to increase the average subscription relatively quickly ╰(￣▽￣)╭  Chapter 78 It's time for the Tarot Club again

  (this chapter is 3,000 words)

  In the carriage, Anne and Susie both breathed a sigh of relief.

  Susie had never thought that one day she would be pointed at with a gun, which was really scary.

  Anne wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Miss, what the gangster said just now must be a scare, right?"

  "I don't think so." Audrey smiled and said, "For your safety, we should not tell anyone what happened today."

  In fact, she saw that "Lelouch"'s last words were to scare Anne, but the more so, the more she wanted to help the mysterious Mr. Lelouch to conceal what happened today.

  She is also an extraordinary person, and being able to help an extraordinary person today made her feel very satisfied.

  ...

  Odysseus quickly entered the church of the God of Steam and Machinery and showed the priest the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" hanging around his neck, which was composed of a triangle ruler, a lever and a gear.

  This was the holy emblem given to him by the "Mechanical Heart", which could get certain help at any time and in any church of the God of Steam and Machinery.

  After seeing the holy emblem, the priest immediately invited Odysseus to enter the confessional.

  After closing the door, the priest asked, "What do you need?"

  Odysseus replied, "I may be followed, so I need to disguise myself here."

  "Okay, after I finish my disguise, I will open the door on the other side of the confessional, and you can go out through the side door of the church."

  "Thank you." Odysseus took off his mask, took off his knight's uniform, and wrapped his cane in the knight's uniform: "Please cover my belongings with something and send them to No. 51 Henry Street. I will keep 8 soli for the fare."

  Of course, this distance would not cost 8 soli, and the fare was for the priest.

  The priest did not refuse. Under his guidance, Odysseus left the church through the side door without attracting the attention of the believers in the chapel, and transformed back into Odysse Gall, the owner of the herbal medicine store.

  ...

  On Sunday, Klein spent most of the day staring at Enoch, a subordinate of Mr. Gall.

  But this gangster boss played cards and drank in the bar all morning, and solved an incident of trouble caused by drunkards.

  He went out at around 2pm and came back around 4pm.

  Klein did not follow Enoch, but used this time to communicate with several of Enoch's subordinates. They did have some memories of Mr. Gal, but they were all orders issued by Enoch on behalf of Mr. Gal.

  For example, they were told to avoid trouble, not to kill people during a fight, not to cheat, etc.

  Of course, in addition to these orders, Enoch's gang members were relatively secure in life.

  Mr. Gal actually paid them wages, and if they were injured in the battle, they would receive a certain reward and bear the medical expenses. If they died, they would give their families a large sum of money.

  Because they had basic living security, this group of scum actually had a noble character that rarely took the initiative to harm others.

  This made Klein sigh: as long as the living environment is not so bad, even villains have the idea of ​​turning over a new leaf.

  But he did not find any clues about Mr. Gal. Enoch was usually not suspicious. He was in the bar most of the time, and occasionally took people to the "Nanmu Dance Hall" to help. He would go out every morning or afternoon, as if to conduct some intelligence transactions.

  Klein estimated that he would have to keep an eye on Enoch for a long time before he could find some clues.

  So he planned to follow Ms. Mandy again tomorrow to see if there would be any clues there.

  If there were still no clues, there would be nothing he could do. He could only try to divine Mr. Garr's residence in the gray fog.

  But because he had only met Mr. Garr twice, he did not have enough information and might not be able to meet the conditions for divination.

  ...

  Late at night, Odysseus continued to study the connection between mystical symbols and the "recording" ability of the "recorder" as usual.

  After making certain breakthroughs, he left the "wilderness of knowledge".

  Monday morning was the day for Odysseus and his two main subordinates to hand in their accounts and settle accounts. Early in the morning

  , Odysseus went to the herbal medicine store to calculate the income and expenditure. Although the herbal medicine store had good business and Odysseus could grow most of the goods himself, it was limited by the scale and could not make much money.

  It can only be said that it was much better than the middle class in Backlund, but it was far from the level of a rich man.

  Around nine o'clock, Mandy's assistant Bella came to report: "Mr. Gall, Ms. Mandy just heard that Asherborn is commissioning a private detective to investigate you."

  Odysseus asked casually: "What's the name of the private detective?"

  "It's Sherlock Moriarty, a detective who has just become famous recently."

  Odysseus was stunned: "When did it happen?"

  "Asherborn's housekeeper commissioned this detective to investigate on Saturday morning."

  Odysseus stood up suddenly: "Why report it now?"

  This charlatan, no, this detective's investigation has never been to find clues, but to directly use divination to investigate the case. Two days are enough to find this place.

  But then Odysseus thought again: No, I have the protection of the "Wild Knowledge". If Klein directly uses divination to investigate me, he should not be able to divination any information.

  He can only look for clues from the "Nanmu Ballroom" and Mandy and Enoch.

  In this case, it is not certain that he can find this place in two days.

  Bella was a little flustered: "Ashebern may...maybe he realized that we have placed spies around him, so he is very concerned about keeping your actions confidential, so the news was delayed for two days."

  Odysseus thought about it and thought that if Klein had followed this herbal medicine store, he might have discovered that Mr. Gal was the "Hermit".

  If he hadn't followed him, he wouldn't have made this discovery.     Whether there is any, Mr. Gall can no longer sit and wait for death.

  So he said to Mandy's assistant Bella: "Go back and tell Mandy that intelligence work focuses on timeliness."

  Then Odysseus said: "Tell her to prepare the carriage. I need it in the afternoon."

  Bella immediately said: "Yes."

  At this time, Enoch pushed the door in.

  Odysseus asked: "Have you been followed?"

  "No." Enoch said affirmatively.

  Odysseus nodded and took the account book.

  In order to prevent being followed here by some people, Odysseus asked Enoch to go out at irregular times every day. In this way, even if someone followed to the herbal medicine store, the other party would not pay too much attention and would think that this was just another business of Mr. Gall.

  Mandy pretended to have a headache and asked her assistant to come to the herbal medicine store regularly to buy tranquilizing incense to interfere with the judgment of the stalker.

  But Klein was different. Odysseus once asked the "Fool" to help in the backyard. As soon as he came to the herbal medicine store, he could sense that this was the base of the "Hermit".

  Although they may not immediately associate "The Hermit" with Mr. Gal, they will definitely pay close attention to this place. When they see Enoch and Mandy's assistants running here, they will definitely think that there is something wrong here.

  Odysseus changed his mind and said, "The Fool" is a fake evil god. It doesn't seem dangerous for him to know that Odysseus is the "Hermit".

  He didn't continue to think about it, but asked Enoch: "I have just developed a magical technology that can quickly make people proficient in fighting. Go back and ask your subordinates if anyone wants to use this technology.

  "Oh, by the way, tell them clearly that the side effect of this technology is that it will give people a headache for about three minutes."

  Enoch nodded: "I'll go back and ask. "

  After Bella and Enoch left, Odysseus stayed at the front counter, waiting for Klein to come.

  But Klein didn't show up throughout the morning. Perhaps after he found this place, he didn't plan to come in directly to look for more clues.

  Or it could be that he didn't follow here.

  In any case, Odysseus planned to take action in the afternoon.

  After lunch, Odysseus came to the backyard, first checked the production of the "Flame Arrow", and then continued to write the "Combat Outline".

  At 2:50 in the afternoon, Odysseus lay down in the armchair and pretended to take a nap.

  At exactly three o'clock, his vision was covered by gray fog, and this week's Tarot Club officially began.

  "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." The greetings of "Justice" Audrey were first heard around the ancient bronze table.

  Shrouded in gray fog, "The Fool" Klein nodded slightly: "Good afternoon. "

  Audrey couldn't help being curious and excited, so she didn't rush to ask about the truth behind the Kapin incident.

  She continued to greet other members while observing them: Hey, the "Sun" is very anxious. Did something unexpected happen to the former captain of the exploration team?

  And Fors was in a state of wanting to ask but not daring to ask... She must have seen the report about Kapin's death and guessed that the Tarot Club did it, but she didn't know who the "Emperor" card represented.

  Soon, the greeting session ended, and the "Hanged Man" Alger tilted his head and looked up, saying in a humble tone: "Dear Mr. Fool, I have collected three new pages of Roselle's diary."

  Although "Sun" Derrick was very anxious, he did not immediately ask the members of the Tarot Club. He knew very well that the opening period belonged to Mr. Fool, unless no member submitted Roselle's diary.

  "Magician" Fors was a little confused: Diary? Roselle's diary?

  Klein smiled and asked the "Hanged Man": "What do you want to exchange them for? "

  Alger glanced at the card covered by Mr. Fool's hand: "I want to know what the card next to you is?"

  Odysseus thought: It's so accurate. This should be the question that Klein wants to answer the most.

  Fors vaguely understood one thing: using the so-called Roselle diary, you can get answers to certain questions from Mr. Fool.

  She thought of Roselle's notes written with special symbols, but she didn't expect that it was a diary.

  Then Fors thought again: Miss Audrey had a lot of them, but last week, or the week before, Miss Audrey said that many of her books and notes were bitten to pieces by the dog! There is no way to buy or borrow from Miss Audrey.

  I hate dogs! Fors said hatefully in her heart.

  Klein smiled and said, "Okay.

  "Do you want everyone to hear it, or only you to know it?"

  Alger answered without hesitation: "Only yourself."

  So Klein isolated the senses of other members, and soon, the individual communication ended, and other members could see Alger's remaining shock and joy.

  This made Fors curious enough about the card in front of Mr. Fool.

  After a few seconds, Alger recovered from the shock of the "blasphemous card" and materialized the three pages of the diary.

  After waiting for a few minutes, Mr. Fool finished reading.

  Odysseus said, "If I am not mistaken, the Roselle diary that Mr. Hanged Man mentioned just now is what is commonly known as Roselle's notes, right?"

  Audrey answered enthusiastically, "Yes, Mr. Hermit, do you also have the diary of Emperor Roselle?"  Chapter 79: Teaching Little Sun Hand in Hand

  "Hermit" Odysseus replied: "Yes, I have five pages of diary."

  The value of those five pages of diary was fully exploited by him. First of all, he had read them and had a good direction for the role of "Fighting Scholar".

  Secondly, he had delivered the task to "Mechanical Heart" and falsely reported the expenses.

  Now offering them to "The Fool" is a complete recycling of waste.

  Odysseus said to the head of the bronze table: "Mr. Fool, I am willing to sacrifice those five pages of diary to you as a thank you for your help before.

  "I know it is insignificant compared to the help you provided, but at least it represents my heart."

  Klein, the "Fool" behind the gray fog, thought to himself: This guy is very sensible.

  He nodded slowly and said: "Okay. "

  Justice" Audrey noticed that Mr. Fool had provided help to the Hermit before, but she didn't know what kind of help it was.

  "Magician" Fors thought of Mr. Fool's help to herself: Could the Hermit have any curse or something like that?

  "I can materialize those five pages of the diary now." Odysseus said again.

  The other members were stunned again. After all, those were unfamiliar characters and difficult to remember.

  And the Hermit had obviously just learned that Roselle's notes were Roselle's diary, and it was impossible for him to have tried hard to remember it before the meeting.

  That is to say, the Hermit remembered it before.

  But soon, everyone guessed that this was most likely the help provided by the Hermit's extraordinary ability, so they all put away their slight surprises.

  Klein nodded slightly, materialized a pen and paper for Odysseus, and asked him to "express" it.

  After another ten minutes of reading time, Klein the Fool said lightly: "You can start. "

  "The Hanged Man" Alger immediately turned around and asked "The Sun" Derrick: "What news did you get from the former captain of the exploration team?"

  Derrick answered honestly: "He is dead."

  Dead?

  Audrey and Fors expressed their surprise at the same time.

  Derrick continued to describe: "After the last party, I returned to Silver City..."

  He briefly described everything he had encountered after the party ended last Monday.

  Alger asked again: "Your Silver City dungeon for the out-of-control people is not sealed? There is no barrier between each other?"

  "Yes," Derrick said, "but I don't know why he came to my room? And he was completely out of control and turned into a very scary monster." Fors

  realized another problem: "Then how did you survive?"

  This was also the question Audrey was concerned about.

  Alger's reaction was completely different from theirs: "It is illogical to put you, who only has the signs of losing control, next to such a dangerous guy.

  "It seems that the senior leaders of your Silver City are consciously letting people contact that guy to see if they can get useful information from him and observe the corresponding changes.

  "So, which elder saved you?"

  Derrick said with sincere admiration: "Yes, just as you said, the 'Chief' showed up in time and used magical items to solve the out-of-control monster."

  Alger chuckled: "This is an obvious thing. As long as you have enough knowledge, you can easily guess it."

  Audrey thought to herself with a little depression: I didn't expect it.

  Then Alger asked again: "The former captain of the exploration team has not lost control in the past few decades, but suddenly lost control after you went back?"

  Derrick said seriously: "I guessed two reasons. One is because I chose the 'Sun Path'. At the last party, Mr. Hermit said that the Amon family is the descendant of the ancient sun god.

  "Another guess is that he noticed that Mr. Fool was trying to get me to the party. It turned out to be the latter."

  Alger asked, "How did you prove it?"

  Derrick described truthfully, "After Amon's clone was dealt with, I returned home and started praying to Mr. Fool..."

  "Wait a minute," Alger interrupted the "Sun"'s narration, "You said that you had just experienced such a strange incident, and your 'Chief' sent you back home? And you just returned home and started praying to Mr. Fool?"

  "Yes." Derrick answered blankly, not realizing what the problem was.

  Alger looked at Mr. Fool, and was relieved when he saw that he didn't say anything, "Based on my experience, the 'Chief' must have secretly sent someone to monitor you, and you have undoubtedly exposed your problem.

  "Don't doubt it. If even the 'Chief' is not cautious, your Silver City would not have been able to survive until today in such a dangerous environment. "

  Derrick's eyes gradually widened: This...

  Alger's expression relaxed a little and said: "But you won't be in any danger for the time being. I guess the 'Chief' just discovered your abnormality. Maybe he only suspects that you are 'parasitized' by Amon and doesn't know about the Tarot Club."     Derrick calmed down a bit and said honestly, "I was indeed 'parasitized' by Amon at that time."

  "What?" Alger almost jumped up from his seat and took a fighting stance.

  Audrey and Fors's spirits also became tense all of a sudden. Only "The World" and "The Hermit" Odysseus showed some surprise.

  Derrick quickly added, "Mr. Fool saw through Amon's conspiracy and taught me a ritual. Through that ritual, He sent angels to purify Amon's clone, and I coughed out a strange little bug."

  "Angel?" Alger said in astonishment.

  Audrey was also a little surprised: "The Sun" said that Mr. Fool sent an angel?

  Fors recalled that Mr. Fool had sent an angel to help her before, hiding it from the Abraham family's inquiries.

  Odysseus did not show any surprise, because "The Fool" had sent his "angel" to help her once, and showed an expression of "I didn't expect you to be so surprised."

  Klein observed the reactions of the crowd behind the gray fog, and finally he found that the "Hermit", who was experienced and seemed to have a lot of mystical knowledge, was the one who believed most firmly that I was a member of the gods.

  That's right, Klein thought: the more you know, the easier it is to make enough associations, and the easier it is to believe the conclusions drawn from these associations.

  When everyone was still surprised, Odysseus suddenly asked "Little Sun": "After Amon's clone was solved by your 'Chief', the 'Chief' should have asked you some questions, right?"

  Derrick thought about it and said: "Yes."

  Odysseus asked again: "What did your 'Chief' ask at that time? How did you answer? Think about it carefully."

  Derrick thought for a while before saying: "It's probably like this: The 'Chief' first explained why he arranged me next to the former captain of the exploration team.

  "Then the 'Chief' asked me, why do you think the captain suddenly changed? What do you feel is different from others?

  "I answered: Maybe it's because my extraordinary path is different from others.

  "The 'Chief' asked me again: What were you doing in the room just now?

  "I answered: I was sleeping.

  " "Finally, the chief asked: Before he mutated, did you notice anything abnormal?

  "I said: No."

  Everyone came back to their senses from the shock of the "Angel". Except for Alger, the other members didn't understand why the "Hermit" asked that question?

  Odysseus sighed and said, "When you answered the first question, you had already aroused the suspicion of your "Chief." "

  "Ah?" Derrick had no idea about this.

  "Let me ask you, at the last gathering, you said that everyone in your Silver City must receive general education." Odysseus analyzed, "Does your general education include knowledge related to Amon and the "Sun" path?"

  Derrick seemed to understand something: "No, no."

  Audrey also understood: "Little Sun" answered that way because he knew that Amon was a descendant of the ancient sun god, but he ignored the fact that most people in Silver City had no channels to obtain this information.

  Fors also understood that the "Hermit" was helping "Little Sun" review the situation.

  Odysseus continued, "Your 'Chief's' question is actually asking: Did you do anything special to irritate the other party?

  "So you should have said at that time that I felt that I was no different from others, and I didn't know how he came to my room.

  "This is to tell your 'Chief' that I didn't do anything special, and the other party came to me first.

  "This is very important. You must let the 'Chief' know that it was the other party who launched the attack first, and you didn't mention this in your subsequent answers."

  Alger nodded, thinking that the answer of the "Hermit" was very good.

  Derrick was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many issues that needed attention in a simple question and answer.

  Then, he felt that the analysis of the "Hermit" made sense, and he really didn't explain the matter clearly.

  Odysseus continued, "Your 'Chief' found that you didn't understand his question, so he simply asked you: What were you doing in the room just now?

  "Even if you say you were peeing, it's better than saying 'sleeping'!

  "You should say that your spirit sensed the danger, so you were observing carefully.

  "You said 'sleeping'. First of all, this makes you appear to be an unqualified warrior. Secondly, the danger has already come, but you didn't notice it. This is obviously a lie."

  Alger nodded again, feeling that the answer of the "Hermit" really pleased him.

  Audrey felt as if she had learned something strange again. After thinking about it for a while, she realized that this strange thing was: telling lies so realistically.

  Klein, who was behind the gray fog, smiled and said in his heart: Why do I feel like the "Hermit" is tutoring "Little Sun" with his homework?

  Derrick nodded first, but then said with some embarrassment: "But...but..."

  "But such an answer is not honest enough, right?" Odysseus asked with a smile.

  Derrick nodded again and again.

  "I must admit that honesty is a virtue." Odysseus said, "But in many cases, honesty without any bottom line, without considering the feelings of others, without considering one's own environment and consequences, is a manifestation of immaturity."  Chapter 80 There is Only One Amon in the World

  After hearing what Odysseus said, "Sun" Derrick fell into deep thought again.

  "Hanged Man" Alger sighed: It seems that "Hermit" is also a person with a story.

  "Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Fors also hope that "Little Sun" can quickly mature after experiencing this incident.

  "Fool" Klein behind the gray fog felt: Judging from the performance of "Hermit" in normal times, he is a mature enough Extraordinary. After understanding the nature of the Extraordinary world, he did not become indifferent and was willing to help others. This is also a virtue.

  Odysseus gave Derrick time to think, and then said: "Let me help you analyze it again.

  "The biggest special thing about you is that you have the help of Mr. Fool.

  "So you are very important to Silver City, but if you completely expose your specialness, you will definitely be imprisoned and strictly guarded, and you will not be able to play your role.

  "And if you conceal some places and hide your specialness, perhaps you can find hope for Silver City. "

  He spread his hands: "Is your 'chief' sending people to monitor you because he is an evil person? Is he a bad guy with bad deeds?"

  Derrick immediately protested: "No."

  Odysseus nodded slowly: "It seems that you understand this truth. To accomplish something, especially a very difficult thing, virtue alone is not enough, and some means are needed." Alger nodded

  repeatedly. The more he listened, the more he felt that the "Hermit" was speaking his mind.

  Audrey also felt that her mind was suddenly enlightened. Although the words of the "Hermit" were different from the education she had received since she was a child, if she thought carefully about what she had seen and heard, she would find that the description of the "Hermit" was more in line with the law of development of the situation.

  "I understand." Derrick said seriously: "Thank you, Mr. 'Hermit', my previous thoughts were too naive. "

  Odysseus said "hmm", and frankly accepted the thanks from "Little Sun".

  Then Derrick said, "There is one more thing. The exploration team that set out before is back. I mean the exploration team led by the 'Shepherd' elder Lovia.

  "They completed the exploration of the half-destroyed temple of the 'True Creator' and returned to the City of Silver, and I found that the personalities of several team members I am familiar with have changed to a certain extent."

  Alger said in a firm tone: "They have been contaminated by the 'True Creator'."

  "I also think there seems to be something wrong with them." Derrick said a little aggrievedly: "I have reported it, but the 'Chief' doesn't seem to believe me very much...

  "I understand, because the 'Chief' suspects that I am possessed by Amon, so he won't trust me."

  Alger, Audrey and other members nodded slowly. Obviously, the teachings of the "Hermit" just now played some role, and the idea of ​​​​"Little Sun" thinking about problems is no longer so simple.

  Derrick asked anxiously: "Then what should I do? "

  Alger thought for two or three seconds before saying, "I think your 'chief' must also be paying attention to the 'shepherd' elder and the members of the exploration team at this time.

  "The only problem is that they definitely don't pay enough attention to it, and they don't even care as much as they do about you and Amon."

  Without waiting for the "little sun" to speak, he considered and said, "Perhaps this incident can be used to clear your suspicion.

  "Well, you find an opportunity to make a member of the exploration team behave abnormally and conflict with him. In this way, the 'chief' can increase his attention.

  "At the same time, you take the opportunity to hand over the strange little bug, and say that when you had a conflict with that team member, you suddenly felt mentally confused and vaguely heard someone shouting 'the real creator', and pretended to cough up the bug.

  "When it comes to the evil god, many methods and abilities dare not be used. Your 'chief' will logically guess that Amon's clone clashed with the mental pollution left by the 'real creator' and eventually died and became a dead bug.

  "The surveillance on you will definitely be reduced a lot. If you behave yourself for a while, you will basically be out of suspicion."

  Audrey opened her mouth slightly and thought: Why does Mr. Hanged Man seem so skilled in this?

  Klein also thought: Is the internal struggle of the Orthodox Church so fierce? It seems that the "Hanged Man" often experiences this kind of "palace fighting" drama.

  Derrick's eyes lit up when he heard it. He felt that Mr. Hanged Man was indeed trustworthy and came up with such a good idea.

  He asked: "How can I make the members of the exploration team show the most thorough and abnormal state?"

  Alger was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I don't know."

  Klein manipulated the silent "world" to speak: "I have an item that contains the pollution of the 'True Creator'.

  "Little guy, I can lend you that item, but what can you give as a reward?"

  Derrick thought for a while before saying: "I can try to help you collect the characteristics of the human skin shadow."

  At a previous party, "World" issued such a demand.

  "World" nodded gently: "Very good, I will ask Mr. Fool to help me lend it to you. "     Alger reminded again: "Use the 'Spiritual Wall' to seal the container containing the item in advance, so that no one can detect any abnormality."

  "Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man, thank you, thank you for your help." Derrick sincerely thanked the other members of the Tarot Club.

  In the previous exchange, he gradually came up with a complete plan.

  After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Odysseus, who had been listening for a while, spoke again and said to Derrick: "You must have spent a lot of effort to sacrifice the animals and plants around the Silver City alive, right?"

  Klein, who was behind the gray fog, recalled the scene where the "Hermit" was in a hurry to deal with it, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised.

  Audrey also understood after a slight pause: What? Sacrifice alive?

  Then, she also smiled helplessly.

  Derrick answered seriously, "Yes, especially the fish, it was easily killed. I spent a lot of effort to knock it unconscious."

  Odysseus nodded, "If I need a living body, I will remind you specifically. If I don't remind you, it means that you can accept the test subject as a corpse, just kill it directly."

  Derrick seemed to understand what the "Hermit" meant: "Okay...Okay."

  Fors and Audrey both smiled knowingly. They could even imagine the surprise of the "Hermit" when he saw the living test subject.

  "Anyway, I am very satisfied with your reward." Odysseus said.

  In the past few days, he will take time to observe the status of those animals and plants, and plans to start studying these animals and plants next week, with enough observation records.

  As for the bucket of silt and the bucket of soil, they have been sent to the "Wild Knowledge" in advance.

  At this time, everyone recalled the transaction between the "Hermit" and the "Sun" at the last gathering: the "Little Sun" provided the "Hermit" with test subjects, and the "Hermit" collected information about Amon for the "Little Sun".

  Odysseus continued, "I have collected some key intelligence about Amon, and it is very advanced. Do you want to listen to it yourself, or just tell me?"

  "Just tell me." This is how Derrick thanked the other members of the Tarot Club.

  "Okay." Odysseus began to narrate, "I learned an astonishing news: there has only been one Amon in this world since ancient times."

  This description made everyone slightly stunned, and for a moment, they didn't seem to understand what was so astonishing?

  Fors scratched his head and asked, "The only Amon was destroyed by the angel sent by Mr. Fool?"

  "No." Odysseus smiled and said, "Your understanding is wrong. I mean, from ancient times to the present, no matter how many clones Amon has, there is only one Amon."

  Suddenly, everyone felt their hair stand on end!

  Alger was a little surprised and said, "I remember that the Amon family had already appeared in the Fourth Epoch!"

  "Not just the Fourth Epoch!" Odysseus said, "According to the information I got, Amon was born in the Third Epoch!"

  Audrey first covered her mouth gently, and then said, "Oh my God, that means Amon is already... thousands of years old?"

  Fors repeated in a daze, "Thousands of years..."

  For her, this was a very distant number.

  Klein, who was behind the gray fog, was not surprised, because when he got the "blasphemous card", he thought of a fact: the gods have lived for who knows how many years.

  In fact, Alger and the others knew this in their hearts, but because these thoughts were too blasphemous, the gods were high above and appeared at the creation of the world. How could they have a concept of how long they had lived?

  So they only turned around now.

  At this time, Klein thought: No wonder it is called the "blasphemous card". After getting such an item, the respect for the gods will be greatly reduced. Isn't this blasphemy against the gods?

  Alger was the first to react: "I've heard that after becoming an angel, the life form will undergo a fundamental change. It seems that one of these changes is a long lifespan."

  Odysseus said, "Hmm," "I also heard that the Amon family back then was actually Amon and his clones."

  Klein was slightly stunned behind the gray fog: This is a bit weird. The patriarch of the entire family is Amon himself, and the elders are Amon No. 1 to Amon No. 6? I wonder if there are internal conflicts among Amon's clones? Are there any small gangs?

  Fors also came back to her senses from her surprise just now: "It's like listening to a ghost story."

  She felt that this was indeed a good subject for a horror story!

  After Fors said this, Audrey thought of such a scene. She entered a noble courtyard, surrounded by classical buildings and a nice view. There were many members of noble families coming and going in the courtyard.

  Suddenly, these family members seemed to realize that she was an intruder and cast their eyes on her.

  Whether it was the elderly, children, men, or women, they all looked exactly the same, and they all had the same weird smile!

  Audrey shuddered: "What a terrifying ability!"
