Chapter 1 The Visit of the Mysterious Queen
Backlund, West District, 51 Henry Street.
In the evening, Odysseus Garr, who had just finished his work, was resting in an easy chair.
Dinglingling~
The bell hanging on the door rang. It was so late, and there were still guests.
Under the illumination of the bright gas lamp, Odysseus looked up lazily, and then sat up immediately.
The visitor was a woman with long chestnut hair that reached her waist, and her eyebrows were very outstanding, outlining some heroic temperament.
She had a good figure, neither fat nor thin, and her blue eyes were as beautiful as the condensed ocean.
The other party's chestnut hair and beautiful face, as well as the rare but unique combination of white shirt, trousers and black leather boots, reminded Odysseus of a great figure in the extraordinary world: "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette.
The reason why he associated these things was not because of the clues he got from the legend about the "Mysterious Queen", but because Odysseus was a time traveler and remembered the hair color and unique outfit of the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle.
He traveled to this world three years ago, and as soon as he arrived here, he became a "secret peeper" because of an extraordinary event caused by the "source".
Just because he remembered part of the plot of the original book, his "secret peeper" potion was digested directly.
Because of this extraordinary case, Odysseus was highly concerned by the "Mechanical Heart" and was closely monitored for a long time. He even suspected that the gods of steam and machinery had paid attention to him.
Fortunately, they could not determine the connection between Odysseus and the "source", so he was not caught and dissected and studied like an alien.
Recently, Odysseus finally had the opportunity to be promoted, but he is still a "secret peeper".
Returning to the herbal medicine shop at this time, Odysseus immediately smiled and stood up and said, "Hello, how can I help you?"
The visitor was Bernadette. After entering the door, she was also looking at Odysseus, a young man in his twenties, with black pupils and slightly curly black hair.
He looked handsome, with thin lips, a high nose bridge, and bright eyes.
He wore a linen shirt and a loose coat, and a pair of cloth shoes. This kind of dress was not gentlemanly, but it must be very comfortable.
On the counters and cabinets of the herbal medicine shop, there were all kinds of common herbs. It looked like a very ordinary shop.
Finally, Bernadette's eyes fell on Odysseus: "I have something I want you to see."
Odysseus was slightly stunned. Is he here to sell stolen goods?
It was because of the extraordinary events when he came to this world and the business of running a herbal medicine shop that Odysseus had some connections in the extraordinary world. Some extraordinary people would sell stolen goods through his channels.
But the dignified "Queen of Mystery" should have her own channels for selling stolen goods.
Odysseus thought while hanging up the "Closed" sign, and then pulled the door curtains and curtains.
After doing all this, he stood inside the counter and made a "please" gesture.
Bernadette took out a small wooden box from her pocket, put it on the counter, and pushed it to Odysseus.
Odysseus, the owner of the herbal medicine shop, opened it and saw dozens of strange-shaped metal objects that looked like building blocks. On one side of the metal objects, there were some fluorescent marks that glowed with a faint dark red light.
Seeing this, Odysseus' eyes narrowed, but he quickly hid his surprise and asked with a frown, "What is this?"
"You should know her." Bernadette smiled politely. Odysseus pretended to be confused: "Sorry, I have no impression of this."
Odysseus put on a professional smile: "Our store's business scope is limited, and we can't buy this good thing. Please try somewhere else."
"Let me remind you." Bernadette had an expression of "I expected it a long time ago": "Peter, 116 Michel Street."
Odysseus, who was familiar with the area, knew that Peter, who lived at 116 Michel Street, was a "thief".
The thing in the box was the weapon that Odysseus lost yesterday. He had done divination and knew that it was Peter who stole his things. He just sent someone to negotiate with this "thief" in the afternoon.
Odysseus's smile disappeared: "Since you are so well-informed, you should know who my "behind-the-scenes boss" is."
"Of course I know, and I also know the relationship between you and the "behind-the-scenes boss." Bernadette put her hand on the counter and said seriously: "But, I'm still here!"
Odysseus was a little helpless. Even in Backlund, unless the royal family or the church sent angels to intervene, no one could do anything to the person in front of him.
To be precise, even if facing enemies at the angel level, Bernadette would not be afraid, after all, she has 3 level 0 seals alone!
Odysseus sighed and said, "Are you interested in the extraordinary application of this weapon?"
Bernadette nodded: "The young man is very smart. First of all, I want to know who made this extraordinary weapon? What is the principle? And then assemble it."
Odysseus smiled and said, "You should have seen that I am not a craftsman. This is a failed test product of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. Please let me help them deal with it."
Then he changed the subject: "I am curious, how did you take it apart?"
"Lie!" The "mysterious queen" narrowed her eyes and did not fall for Odysseus's trick: "Even if it is a failed test product, the church will not take action on such a thing!
"As for how I took it apart, that's my business."
She took apart this extraordinary weapon, but couldn't assemble it.
Bernadette put both hands on the counter: "You'd better tell the truth and don't force me to use some tricks. "
This extraordinary weapon was actually made by Odysseus, but it hides his biggest secret.
After coming to this world, Odysseus gained a strange ability. Every Sunday after he fell asleep, he would enter a mysterious space.
That mysterious space was composed of knowledge formed by layers of light. That knowledge was all-encompassing. As long as Odysseus could think of it, he could find the corresponding knowledge there.
But every time he entered there, he had to do a project before he could wake up. Even if he stayed in that space for a year, he would just sleep after coming out.
In there, the projects he did could be... You can choose it yourself, but it can't be too watery. At least you have to have some opinions and research conclusions of your own, otherwise that space will not let you out.
At the beginning, Odysseus was very perfunctory, but as he gained more and more knowledge in there, the subject became more and more profound.
That extraordinary weapon came from one of his research results, which was an innovative application of spiritual materials.
Odysseus was about to use the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery to shirk responsibility again, and the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette suddenly raised her hand, motioning Odysseus not to speak for the time being. She seemed to be listening to something very attentively. The next second: "You accompany me to a place first. "
Before Odysseus asked "where to go", a phantom feather covered his face. When the phantom feather dispersed, Odysseus found that he had arrived at the Kingdom Museum on King's Avenue.
Odysseus was slightly stunned. He remembered that the Kingdom Museum was holding the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition" recently!
Welcome old readers to come and inspect! I miss you so much!
In addition, to new readers, the author has recently written a fine mystery fan fiction with more than three million words, so you can rest assured to read it. Chapter 2 Witnessing Mr. Fool's Theft
When Odysseus saw the Kingdom Museum, he had a bad feeling.
It was October 1349, and Klein Moretti had already arrived in Backlund.
Odysseus did not want any exciting adventures in this world, so he had not been looking for Klein and other Tarot Club members.
But today, when the "Roselle Memorial Exhibition" was in full swing, Bernadette suddenly brought him to the Kingdom Museum late at night. He did not think that she was inviting him to see the memorial exhibition.
At this time, outside the museum, Bernadette once again made a listening gesture.
Then she turned around and put her index finger on her beautiful and shiny lips, making a "silence" gesture.
Odysseus seemed to have sensed something, and when he opened his mouth again, he found that his two lips could not open.
Finally, Bernadette's fingers seemed to be dancing. The next second, she raised her index finger, and Odysseus's left leg was raised without warning. She raised her middle finger, and Odysseus's right leg was raised. Both legs were completely out of his control.
Odysseus was a little confused, and at the same time he felt the power of a demigod and the magic of his extraordinary abilities.
Bernadette made another hood-pulling gesture, and pulled out a black hooded cloak from the void, and her figure immediately became illusory.
A black hooded cloak also appeared on Odysseus's body, hiding his whereabouts. Then, he was controlled by Bernadette like a puppet and followed behind her.
In front of them flashed an illusory avenue with twinkling stars. This avenue made the walls of the Kingdom Museum illusory, and they swaggered into the "Roselle Memorial Exhibition" guarded by the extraordinary people of the Steam Church.
In particular, at the four corners of the roof, there were members of the "Mechanical Heart" team standing respectively. Two of them were wearing seals, but they seemed to ignore Bernadette and Odysseus.
After entering the interior of the museum, the avenue composed of starlight appeared with upward steps.
After climbing the stairs and returning to the real world, Odysseus found himself on the second floor of the museum, in the replica of Roselle's study.
He and Bernadette were both on the top of the tall bookshelf. In front of them was a figure with a face painted like a spirit.
Odysseus wanted to twitch his lips, but found that his lips were out of control. However, this did not affect his sigh in his heart: It was Klein! I actually witnessed the process of Mr. Fool's theft!
At this time, Klein, or Klein himself summoned his own spirit, was grabbing two bookmarks in a book.
Bernadette did not stop him immediately, but waited until the other party wrapped the bookmark with her spirit, and then she suddenly raised her hand.
Wow~Wow~Wow!
A shrill baby cry suddenly rang out in the exhibition hall. The sound was very unreal, as if it came from a very far away place.
Klein's spirit seemed to be frozen and stood there motionless. From the corner of his eye, he saw a man and a woman with their faces covered by hoods on the top of the bookshelf.
Bernadette asked in a stern voice, "Why did you only take the bookmark?"
Klein seemed to be struggling, but it was useless. He was completely trapped in front of the desk in the exhibition hall and couldn't move.
"How did you know to take the bookmark?" Bernadette asked again.
Klein's painted face suddenly showed a big smile.
The next second, his almost transparent figure disappeared in an instant! Together with the two bookmarks wrapped in his spirit body, they disappeared.
Bernadette, who was sitting on the bookshelf, suddenly leaned forward. Odysseus could see that she was also quite surprised.
But in a flash, Bernadette's figure became illusory and disappeared without a trace. She followed the guidance of the spirit and chased after him. After Bernadette left, Odysseus finally reacted: Brother, what about me? I'm still here!
In the distance, the members of the "Mechanical Heart" had heard the unusual call.
Odysseus had two choices. The first choice was to be arrested by the "Mechanical Heart". He had many friends in the "Mechanical Heart", so he didn't have to worry about being locked behind the "Gate of Truth" and could get rid of the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette.
But something was lost at the "Roselle Memorial Exhibition". If he appeared here, he would definitely be investigated, followed, and even interrogated by the demigod.
At this moment, he made a decision: let's run away.
So Odysseus quickly took off his hood, put on his loose coat backwards as quickly as possible, and tore open the lining.
In the lining of the coat, there was an "eight-pointed star" magic circle drawn with spiritual powder and liquid. In the center of the magic circle was a small piece of extraordinary material "Ahona Crystal" that Odysseus bought at a high price. The other nodes of the magic circle were inlaid with gems of various colors.
This was the equipment he had spent a lot of money to build for his escape, and it was also the result of his previous research.
As the footsteps approached, Odysseus was about to inject spirituality into the magic circle, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that the place where Klein's spirit had just left was filled with gray-white mist, and a palm-sized gray sphere formed in the center of the mist.
At the same time, an illusory light was emitted from Odysseus's body, illuminating the surroundings somewhat unreal.
He was slightly stunned, and then instantly realized that the "Source Castle" had just had some kind of connection or resonance with the space he could enter every Sunday.
Just as he figured it out, the palm-sized gray sphere flew over suddenly, and before Odysseus had time to hide, it sank into his chest.
After Bernadette left, Odysseus' mouth could already open. He opened his mouth wide and was about to scream, but suddenly found that he did not feel any pain.
He quickly pulled open his collar and took a look, and there was nothing unusual about his chest.
The footsteps of the "Mechanical Heart" team members had reached the door. There was no time to look closely at this time. Odysseus immediately injected his spirituality into the magic circle. At this moment, the extraordinary material "Ahona Crystal" of the "Door" helped him open an entrance to the spirit world.
Odysseus picked up the hood that Bernadette had just summoned and immediately jumped in.
In the bizarre light, Odysseus only felt like he was in a tornado, his body spinning and rolling rapidly, and before he could even see the scene of the spirit world clearly, he was slammed to the ground.
At this moment, he felt that his bones were falling apart, but he immediately sat up and vomited "Ahhh".
Everything in his stomach was vomited out, and finally even the gastric juice was vomited out, and the dizziness gradually disappeared.
Odysseus leaned on the street lamp and looked around weakly. At this time, he was about ten kilometers away from the Kingdom Museum and was on a not very spacious street.
He stood up with the help of the street lamp: "There is still room for improvement."
It was not safe at this time, and he had to leave the West District as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to leave by holding the wall, a lukewarm voice said: "You have a lot of good things on you."
Bernadette appeared from the void not far from Odysseus: "Unfortunately, no matter how you escape, I can easily find you."
Odysseus glanced at the "mysterious queen" with an excellent figure: "Did you catch the person who stole the bookmark?"
Come on, let's hurt each other! Chapter 3 Extraordinary Scholar Odysseus
After hearing Odysseus' question, the chestnut-haired Bernadette looked at him coldly and said nothing. The two were covered by illusory feathers again.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the rooftop opposite the Gall Herbal Medicine Store on Henry Street.
Odysseus sat on the ground for more than ten minutes to relax, and the feeling of motion sickness finally disappeared.
Bernadette, who had been standing aside, suddenly said, "Get up and see for yourself."
Odysseus then noticed that the surroundings around him and Bernadette became illusory again, as if they were about to disappear from this world.
He stood up and saw that two people wearing masks and black clothes were quickly approaching the herbal medicine store with some lights coming out of the window.
They first made sure that there was no one around, then they pushed the door in. After seeing that there was no one in the herbal medicine store, they were stunned for a second or two and immediately turned around and left.
At this time, Bernadette had two more pea seeds in her hand. She threw them casually, and the two peas immediately sprouted and grew vines after falling on the street, entangled the two black-clothed people who were obviously not thieves.
Bernadette did not kill them, but pointed her index finger at the ground, and a pair of red high heels immediately appeared on their feet.
The two people danced in fear under the entanglement of the vines.
But they seemed to have forgotten to scream and could only make a terrified expression.
This reminded Odysseus of the fairy tale "The Red Shoes". Although he had only read it once, he still remembered the red dancing shoes that made people unable to control themselves and kept dancing after putting them on.
After the two people danced for more than half a minute, the fear on their faces disappeared along with the red dancing shoes. Then the vines loosened, they took off their hats and saluted in the direction of Bernadette, then quickly left and disappeared into the night.
Odysseus was stunned. Obviously, what left at this time were two pairs of red dancing shoes and their vassals: two men in black.
He estimated that where did these two people go for a while? Who did they meet? Bernadette could tell everything clearly.
Then, he thought of the actions of the two men in black just now: "I don't remember who I made enemies with recently."
After coming to this world, Odysseus was relatively low-key. When developing his own gray industry, he even used his abilities and connections to recruit a small gangster, and used that gangster as a shield for everything.
"You didn't make enemies with anyone." Bernadette took out the small wooden box containing the extraordinary weapon again: "But you have something that makes them excited."
Only one weapon was made, and those who had seen it had been burned to ashes. Odysseus was silent for a while before saying: "Pete is dead."
"Yes, yes." Bernadette said: "He died at the hands of a crazy extraordinary person, and the weapon you invented couldn't save him.
"It happened that a member of a mysterious organization passed by there and saw the weapon in Pete's hand, and took the weapon away after Pete died.
"After learning that the weapon came from you, several local members of this organization are going to send someone to take you away and further inquire about the source of the weapon."
The so-called "mysterious organization" is actually a member of the "Moss Ascetic Order" in Backlund. Bernadette had long been eyeing the member who picked up the weapon. Just when she was about to close the net, she encountered the weapon held by Pete, so she came first, intending to take Odysseus away and ask the truth.
As for witnessing Klein stealing the bookmark, it was an emergency and sudden situation, purely coincidental.
Odysseus said sincerely: "I did get that weapon from the Steam Church..."
Odysseus suddenly felt the weight in the middle of his face increase, and saw that his nose was getting longer at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Bernadette on the side showed a beautiful smile: "Cheating, is this how you treat your savior?"
Thinking of the "Mysterious Queen" who had manipulated him like a puppet before, Odysseus suddenly realized: "As long as I lie, my nose will get longer? "
Bernadette didn't answer directly, but just said: "I want to see if your nose can reach the other side of the Tussock River."
Odysseus was a little helpless: "Let's go to the store and talk about it. I will tell you the origin of this weapon." After saying this, his nose returned to its normal length.
Odysseus knew that in the secret world, if he encountered such a big shot, hiding things would only make things worse, so he prepared to explain the origin of this weapon.
The "Mysterious Queen" nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."
The two returned to the Gar Herbal Medicine Store, and Odysseus closed the door again: "Would you like a drink?"
"No."
So Odysseus poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and then walked into the counter.
They were like before, one inside the counter and the other outside.
"I think you should be very clear about the function of the magic circle." Odysseus explained while taking out a piece of paper, drawing a large circle on the paper with a compass, and then drawing two isosceles triangles, one positive and one negative, with the center of the circle as the center, and finally drawing a small circle with them as the center.
This is a classic "hexagram" array diagram. Filling in different symbols in the gaps of the array diagram can form arrays with different functions.
For example, it can improve the success rate of some low-level witchcraft, enhance or stabilize spirituality within a limited time, and beautify and decorate. These are common auxiliary means in the Extraordinary World, and even some occult enthusiasts are using them.
However, due to their limited effects, they are only used by low-sequence Extraordinary people, and those who are not good at frontal combat.
Very high-level magic arrays do have functions such as sealing and defense, but they require the existence of high-sequences to provide power support, or require extraordinary characteristics to provide power support.
For most Extraordinary people, magic arrays are relatively useless.
While Odysseus skillfully filled in the occult symbols in the array diagram, he continued: "I have found in recent years that the greatest use of magic arrays is not how many extraordinary effects they have, but that they can provide a channel for spirituality to extend outward within a certain range.
"For example, if I inject spirituality at this position, the output spirituality will enter the center of the 'hexagram' array without loss.
"If you put one of the extraordinary materials needed to advance to the 'arsonist' level, the 'gland of the fire salamander', in the center of the magic circle, a big fire will definitely ignite in the center of the magic circle, and there is a certain probability that a fireball will appear.
"But if you use the blood of the fire salamander..."
Odysseus took out a small glass bottle from the cupboard, which contained half a bottle of bright red blood. This is the blood of the fire salamander, a spiritual material of the sequence 7 level, and it is very valuable.
He dripped a few drops of blood into the center of the magic circle and continued to inject spirituality into the magic circle.
Huh~
A small stable flame ignited in the center of the magic circle.
Odysseus explained again: "This is a high-level spiritual material with fire attributes, so it can ignite a flame under the action of spirituality."
Bernadette understood, and she pointed to the wooden box: "This weapon actually has an exquisite magic circle inside?"
"Yes."
Bernadette asked again: "Do you know what that weapon means?"
Odysseus was slightly stunned: "What does it mean? "
Bernadette said seriously: "All Sequence 9s can use 'Fireball'."
Although it is a low-profile version of "Fireball", she has seen the breakthrough research results behind it.
Thanks to the [Pope of the Tarot Club] for the reward. Chapter 4 A Big Business of 3,000 Pounds
Odysseus had thought about Bernadette's conclusion, but he shook his head and smiled: "I don't think so."
As he spoke, he skillfully assembled the parts in the wooden box and said: "The magic array in this extraordinary weapon must be carved with a bone knife made of 'mutated flamingo leg bones'.
"Each weapon requires three mutated flamingo leg bones, each costing about 25 pounds.
"The carved marks must be filled with a paint mixed with 'magma pyroxene powder' and 'red crown fairy grass powder', which costs about 50 pounds."
Under Odysseus's description, the scattered parts in the wooden box were assembled into the shape of a revolver.
The way to use it is to inject spirituality while pulling the trigger. Each bullet fired is like a fist-sized fireball. After hitting the target, in addition to the damage caused by the bullet, it can also cause large-scale burns.
Even if the target is not hit directly, the damage caused by the aftermath of the fireball can also burn the target.
He picked up the pistol, adjusted it, and continued, "These parts also need to be customized. Thanks to Backlund's developed industry, a foundry with a little bit of skill can take such orders.
"But because it is too small and requires so little, the cost is also very high. Each gun part costs about 10 pounds.
"The bullets also need to be specially processed. The metal is soaked in 'mutated flamingo blood', and the gunpowder is mixed with 'magma monster bone powder'. Each shot requires 12 soli, and it will be scrapped if not used for two months."
"Calculated in this way, the initial cost of this gun is 135 pounds, not counting my design and research costs, because the spirituality in the spiritual material will dissipate after about a year, and then it will cost about 80 pounds every year for 'maintenance'."
He paused and said seriously: "The rent of the townhouse where I live is only 35 pounds for half a year."
"An ordinary revolver only costs about 3 pounds on the black market in downtown Backlund, and only about 1 pound 15 soli if traded in the suburbs."
Odysseus shook his head: "In comparison, the cost of this extraordinary weapon is too high.
"Well, even if the price I mentioned above is still because I run a herbal medicine store, I have channels to buy cheap high-level spiritual materials.
"Such a weapon would cost at least 500 pounds on the market!"
Odysseus said at last: "I don't think every Sequence 9 has such financial resources. If I'm not doing some research, I might as well buy a good revolver and practice my marksmanship seriously."
"What if someone invests in them?" Bernadette suddenly said: "For example, I'll commission you to make 10 such weapons and distribute them to 10 Sequence 9s who are not good at frontal combat.
"This will give them a very practical means of attack. If ten people... no, three people fire together, I believe it will be easy to kill a Sequence 8."
Odysseus opened his mouth and said: "You are really rich."
"Then the price..."
Odysseus held up three fingers: "300 pounds each, it can't be lower."
The "Mysterious Queen" with beautiful eyes stared at Odysseus: "You clearly said the cost was only 135 pounds just now."
"I also said just now that the design fee and my labor fee are not included." Odysseus spread his hands: "No matter where you go, you can't find this price. "
To be precise, it's not that I can't find the price, but I can't find similar weapons.
Bernadette nodded: "Okay, but there is a condition. You have to teach the people I send how to maintain the pistol and how to make bullets."
Then she pointed to Odysseus's coat, which was worn inside out: "What is that?" "This is also an application of the magic circle." Odysseus explained, "It's just that the extraordinary material in the center of the magic circle is of higher value.
"And there are many limitations on use. For example, this coat can only be used once a week. If I use it a second time, I will directly turn into a creature from the spiritual world. It is far less convenient than a sealed object, but the negative effects are basically borne by the magic circle."
Bernadette said "hmm". For her, this coat was of no use: "In three days, I will send someone to learn how to maintain the pistol from you."
She walked out while talking: "As for the ten revolvers, it will be okay to deliver them in one month, right?"
"No problem, but those who come to learn must also bring a deposit of 1,000 pounds." Odysseus quickly asked again: "What should I do if I'm in danger?"
"You don't have to worry about the two men in black." Bernadette said: "In addition, I will ensure your safety before the transaction, but after the transaction... I'm not your bodyguard. "
After she finished saying this, her body was surrounded by wings with illusory feathers. When the illusory wings dissipated, the "mysterious queen" also disappeared.
Odysseus sat at the counter in a daze for more than ten seconds before he sighed: "Tonight is really exciting! "
Although Bernadette had her eyes on the extraordinary organization that wanted to capture Odysseus, and they were unlikely to cause him any more trouble, he did not relax his vigilance.
After turning off the gas lamp in the herbal medicine shop, Odysseus simply went out the back door, walked through a dim alley, and came to the adjacent Wilt Street.
After making sure that no one was following him, he left quickly and came to a secret base prepared in advance.
It was a shabby apartment in the northern part of the West End. Odysseus rented a room on the second floor, which had a bedroom and a separate bathroom. There was also a semi-open kitchen facing the outside on the balcony.
The rent here is only 18 soli per month, which is less than 1 pound.
After setting up early warning bells in the direction of the balcony and the door, Odysseus lay down on the damp bed to rest.
While reviewing today's experience, he fell asleep just like that.
After falling asleep, Odysseus had a strange dream. He dreamed that he was walking in a space full of gray-white fog. As he walked, a tall and mysterious castle appeared in front of him.
Because Odysseus The experience of doing research in dreams gradually restored some of his thinking ability.
He was a little strange. What kind of castle is this? Judging from the visual observation, this is not an ordinary castle. It gives people a sense of horror and weirdness.
The two doors of the castle are tall and large. At this time, they are tightly closed, as if no one has opened them for a long time.
Woo~woo~
Suddenly, the cry of wild beasts appeared in the gray fog. Odysseus looked around vigilantly. The gray fog was rolling around, and he couldn't see what kind of wild beasts there were.
He habitually drew his gun, but found that he was wearing very thin clothes and had no weapons on him.
At this time, Odysseus found that he was more and more awake, so he began to move forward along the castle to see if there was a place where he could not hide from wild beasts.
Woo~woo~
Just after walking a few steps, a vicious dog covered with short hair and long and thin body appeared in front of Odysseus. The corners of its mouth extended to the back of its head, and dark red flames burned in its eye sockets, staring at Odysseus.
Odysseus immediately understood where this castle was. He hurried to knock on the door: "Open the door quickly! Your dog is going to bite people! Open the door quickly! "
More "woooo" sounds were heard around, as if the fog around was already full of Fulgrim's dogs.
That's right, these dogs are Fulgrim's dogs, and this castle is "Source Castle"!
Thank you for your support and votes (*^▽^*) Chapter 5 The Mysterious Mr. Fool
At this moment, Odysseus understood why he was here!
The space with infinite knowledge that he could enter had some kind of reaction with Klein's "Source Castle" at the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition".
The reaction finally formed a gray, palm-sized sphere for some reason after Klein's spirit left.
Only then did Odysseus realize that it should be an "invitation letter" and a "pass".
With the influence of the sphere on his own spirit, he came to the spirit world and came to the outside of "Source Castle" in an unconscious dream state.
But...
Odysseus was a little helpless: "Give me all the passes, brother! It's okay if people can't get in, but don't let the dog bite me, okay?
"Open the door! Your dog is going to bite people." He shouted while looking for the possibility of climbing over the wall to enter.
Fortunately, those Fulgrim dogs seemed to sense that there was some breath of "Source Castle" on Odysseus' spirit, so they were still a little worried and did not attack immediately for a while.
But Odysseus could feel that their aggression was getting stronger and stronger. They might pounce on him and eat him up in the next second.
The high walls around him didn't even have a crack in the bricks. Besides, this was a castle derived from the source. How could one just climb in?
Dong Dong Dong~
"Open the door!" Odysseus wondered if he should expose the "Fool" in order to have a chance of survival?
Woo~
A high-pitched roar sounded, as if it was a signal to launch an attack. A dozen black figures rushed over and pounced on Odysseus.
He leaned against the door with a look of fear on his face. Odysseus was only a Sequence 9, and of course he was no match for these Fulgrim dogs.
Squeak~
At this time, the door opened a gap that was only wide enough for one person to enter.
The Fulgrim dogs, who were already close at hand, immediately lay on the ground to show their submission.
Odysseus took this opportunity to slip into the castle.
Squeak~
The castle door closed again.
Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the "Fool" would not stand by and watch him die.
Just as he put down his worry, Odysseus suddenly thought of another thing when he saw the gray fog in front of him: Will the breath of "Source Castle" pollute me?
But then he thought: Since Klein let me in, he must protect me from being polluted, otherwise I would have lost control and turned into a monster just by looking at "Source Castle" from the outside.
At this time, the gray fog in front of him rolled and dispersed, and a very tall hall appeared, which seemed to be prepared for giants.
In the hall, there was a mottled bronze long table, and on both sides, at the top and bottom, there were high-backed chairs engraved with mystical symbols.
Deep in the hall, at the top of the bronze long table, sat a mysterious and powerful blurry figure.
Odysseus was stunned at first. He remembered that he saw a courtyard inside the gate outside, so how could he enter the hall as soon as he entered?
But then he came to his senses and bowed and said: "Great and mysterious existence, did you summon me here?"
Say this first to avoid the fool asking: How did you get here?
If it was a true secret existence, even if Odysseus said so, he would most likely still ask this question, but the "Fool" is still an empty shell at the moment, and he has to be dignified no matter what he does, so he naturally won't ask such a question easily.
When the time comes, just deal with a few words and ask the other party to send him away.
"The Fool" Klein said in a low voice: "What are you doing in the Kingdom Museum tonight?"
Klein behind the gray fog was indeed very strange. He was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by a knock on the door.
After waking up, he realized that someone was knocking on the door of the space "above the gray fog"!
When he came to "above the gray fog", Klein was even more surprised. There was really someone knocking on the door outside the door anxiously. His sight had just passed through the door and saw Odysseus. This young man with black hair but his face obscured by the gray fog gave Klein a very familiar feeling at first.
So he quickly used "Dream Divination" to "recall" where he had seen this young man, and the resulting picture was "Roselle Memorial Exhibition".
This made Klein very alert. Fortunately, "above the gray fog" belonged to his world, and he had nothing to fear. So he rescued Odysseus and prepared to ask this young man if he was related to the mysterious and powerful lady he met at night.
Odysseus looked at the "Fool" in surprise, and then lowered his head as if he understood something.
His series of actions were not fake. He was indeed a little surprised that the "Fool" knew his whereabouts at night, but he thought that the "Fool" was best at divination, and he must have divined some information, so he had an expression as if he understood it.
But in Mr. Fool's opinion, Odysseus's expression seemed to be surprised at his words first, and then seemed to understand that such a "mysterious and great existence" could of course know his whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Klein behind the gray fog couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly, feeling a sense of "stable control".
Odysseus paused for a moment before answering: "Great existence, I appeared there under duress."
He knew that he had to tell the truth in this matter, because "The Fool" has the ability to distinguish whether Odysseus is lying.
Just as Odysseus expected, the hand Klein placed under the bronze long table was to divine whether Odysseus was lying.
After reaching the conclusion that "what this young man said is true", Klein asked again: "Who coerced you?"
"A mysterious and powerful lady."
Klein nodded slowly, realizing that the young man in front of him was the person next to the "mysterious lady": "Why did she coerce you?"
"I have achieved certain research results in extraordinary weapons, which attracted the attention of that lady, and she wanted to coerce me to make some transactions."
Odysseus's words were very fraudulent. In fact, Bernadette's main purpose was to prevent him from falling into the hands of that mysterious organization, but Bernadette was indeed very interested in those research results and had the idea of trading with him, so only telling part of the truth would not be discovered.
Klein asked again after the gray fog: "You...did you make a deal?"
He wanted to ask "Are you a craftsman? What is your research specifically?", but he felt that a great being should not be interested in such things, so he simply focused on the "mysterious lady".
After all, the power of the "mysterious lady" is obvious to all, and it is normal for a mysterious being like "The Fool" to be interested in a high-sequence Beyonder.
Odysseus told the truth: "We made a deal."
Klein said "hmm", as if he was lost in thought.
He turned on "Psychic Vision" and could only see that Odysseus was a Sequence 9, but he couldn't see what kind of path this young man came from.
But no matter what, it is a very rare thing for a Sequence 9 to be able to make Beyonder weapons.
Klein, who lacked a corresponding stable channel, had the idea of further investigating the other party. He asked again: "Do you want to have the ability to deal with her?"
Odysseus was slightly stunned and immediately said: "No."
Klein originally thought that the young man would say "yes", and then he would issue a few tasks and take the opportunity to observe the other party. Not only could he get a free assistant, but he could also get more detailed information about the other party and get clues about the mysterious lady.
But the other party said "no", Klein couldn't help but nodded, this answer was very much to his liking.
Thank you [Captain of the Hyperion_] for your continued support and generous reward. Chapter 6 Joining the Tarot Club
After a brief thought, Odysseus said, "Mysterious and great being, although I don't want to deal with that powerful lady, can I ask for your protection when necessary?"
Before meeting Bernadette, Odysseus was not very willing to contact Klein or other members of the Tarot Club, because that often represented trouble and danger.
But the situation is different now. Odysseus, influenced by his career before crossing, likes to do some research, and necessary experiments must be carried out.
Although he tried his best to hide, his experimental subjects have attracted the attention of some big figures or extraordinary organizations, which makes his situation a little dangerous.
Now there is no trace of the Church of Fools. In order to balance the crisis brought by the "Mysterious Queen", he has to temporarily hold the thigh of the "Fool".
Of course, Odysseus can actually choose to directly join the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, or join the "Element Dawn".
But he knows that the vision of the God of Steam and Machinery in standing in a team is worrying, and if he joins the "Element Dawn", it is better to directly join the Tarot Club, which will be the "bottom line demigod" in the future.
The Fool behind the gray fog smiled peacefully after hearing Odysseus' question: "Okay."
Klein was waiting for this sentence, which would allow him to take the initiative.
Odysseus said in a normal way of thinking: "I will worship you and believe in you."
The Fool said: "I don't lack believers, I prefer equal exchange."
Odysseus followed Klein's expectations and further asked: "What should I sacrifice to you? In order to get your protection?"
In fact, he knew very well that sacrificing gold pounds would definitely please this "great mysterious existence."
Klein thought about it for a while, and after a simple divination, he said: "There are a few people like you who were pulled in here by me for other reasons.
"They hope that I can hold regular gatherings to trade formulas, buy and sell materials, exchange information and entrust tasks. I promised them.
"You can learn about my needs or the needs of my followers at the gathering."
This is actually a bit reckless, after all, there is no time to examine the stranger in front of him.
But Klein's spiritual sense told him that the stranger in front of him was different from Justice and the Hanged Man, and was also somewhat different from the Sun or the Magician. He seemed to be "invited" by the space "Above the Gray Mist".
He had a hunch that if he didn't establish further contact, the stranger might appear outside the gate tomorrow night, so he might as well invite him to join the Tarot Club.
Klein was still very confident in his control of "Above the Gray Mist". Although he didn't know why "Above the Gray Mist" would "invite" strangers, without his permission, the "invited" people could only appear outside the two mysterious gates.
So Klein did a simple divination, and after confirming that there was no danger in inviting the stranger to join the Tarot Club, and that there would be benefits, he invited him to join.
Odysseus said, "It's my honor."
The Fool said, "Every Monday, at 3pm, eliminate distractions."
He added, "They decided to use the names of tarot cards as their code names. You can also choose a code name for yourself."
A set of tarot cards appeared in front of Odysseus, and he casually pulled out a card: "Hermit!"
As expected, Odysseus thought to himself: I took away Cattleya's code name. I wonder if she can still join the Tarot Club smoothly?
The Fool announced, "Your code name is 'Hermit'. Pay attention to the time of the party."
Then he added, "You can pray to me if you encounter danger."
Klein raised his hand and stuffed Odysseus back into the red star.
He did not leave immediately, but used the method of "dream divination" to find out why the "Hermit" appeared outside "Above the Gray Mist".
For Klein, this "Above the Gray Mist" is a relatively private space that belongs to him alone. No creatures have ever appeared around this space before.
"The reason why the 'Hermit' appeared here.
"The reason why the 'Hermit' appeared here. "..."
After reciting it silently seven times, Klein used 'meditation' to fall asleep.
Soon, the illusory gray fog in front of him immediately separated and reappeared on the second floor of the "Kingdom Museum", in the replica of Emperor Roselle's study.
Klein saw that after his spirit suddenly disappeared, the mysterious lady with a hood and whose appearance could not be seen disappeared.
Because of the isolation of "above the gray fog", the mysterious lady could not know the whereabouts of his spirit. Klein thought of the later encounter and guessed that the lady was completely relying on spiritual sense to chase out.
At this time, there was another hooded figure on the bookshelf. He stretched out his hand in the direction where the mysterious lady disappeared, as if to say: I was left behind!
At this time, Klein saw that where his spirit disappeared, a gray illusory sphere suddenly appeared. At the same time, the hooded figure on the bookshelf also changed. Behind him, a field composed of illusory light appeared. In the depths of the field, there seemed to be a tall tower.
There seemed to be a strong attraction between the tall tower and the gray sphere. In an instant, the sphere sank into the chest of the hooded figure, and the tall tower on the field of light became extremely bright...
Puff~
Klein's head suddenly exploded like a rotten watermelon, and
he forcibly exited the state of "Dream Divination". Under the influence of the gray fog, it seemed that his head had grown back after more than half a minute. All the knowledge in his mind was boiling, and it was not until more than ten seconds later that it eased.
Then some memories that were not originally there appeared in Klein's mind: Sequence 9 "Secret Peeper":
"Main ingredients: a pair of eyeballs of the Nasra Ancient Mountain Giant Ape, 70 grams of star crystal.
"Supplementary ingredients: 80 ml of pure water, 8 drops of the juice of the eight-angle golden plate flower, 7 grams of white orchid powder, 9 grams of dragon blood grass."
...
Sequence 9 "Generalist" potion formula:
"Main ingredients: the head of a brown-backed firefly, a complete five-color leaf clover.
"Supplementary materials: ..."
...
Sequence 7 "Wizard" potion formula:
"Main materials: the whole brain of the pale long-necked beast, two fruits of the fleabane tree.
"Supplementary materials: ..."
...
Sequence 5 "Astrologer" promotion ceremony: ride on the back of the colorful star-eyed beast and drink the potion in the midnight sky.
...
Klein soon understood that this was the knowledge he had just gained from the "Field of Light": What was that illusory field? How could such damage be caused by the spatial protection of "Above the Gray Mist"?
This was something Klein had never expected. He had suffered similar injuries before, but that was when he took the initiative to die. He divined the source of the drop of blood in the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem".
Thinking of the reaction of the "Hermit", he himself seemed to be unaware of his own specialness, and the "Hermit" was currently asking for help from him. The power of "Above the Gray Mist" could also completely control the "Hermit", and Klein's concerns gradually subsided.
Then Klein sighed: The identity of the new member is not simple, and it seems that there are many secrets.
Then he recalled the previous divination results: Maybe it is these secrets of the "Hermit" that can bring me some benefits.
Thinking of this, Klein's mouth curled up slightly: With the addition of the "Hermit", the Tarot Club has become more mysterious.
...
Odysseus woke up from his secret base: Klein told me to pray to him when I was in danger, but he didn't tell me the name of the Fool! What's the point of praying without a name?
Thank you all for your support and voting. I didn't expect to get more than 40 monthly votes just after opening the book╰(￣▽￣)╭ Chapter 7 Check Yourself
A minute or two later, a tall figure appeared in Odysseus' mind, and then a paragraph of text appeared in front of him: "The Fool who does not belong to this era;
"The mysterious master of the gray fog;
"The Yellow and Black King who controls good luck."
Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew the honorific name of "The Fool", he did not know it through "formal channels" and did not dare to use it easily.
After getting up and thanking "The Fool", he lay down again: The encounter at night and the gray sphere seemed to be prepared for me to participate in the Tarot Club!
As a "secret peeper", Odysseus occasionally noticed this kind of fate fluctuation involving himself.
Lying in the bed, Odysseus thought a lot, and finally had to use "meditation" to successfully fall asleep.
The next morning, Odysseus simply washed up, bought a Dessie pie on the street, and ate it while walking to the public carriage station.
With Odysseus's income, he could actually rent a small villa and buy or rent a carriage of his own.
But the extraordinary research he usually conducts is very expensive, just like the revolver that he carries with him and can release flames. In fact, it is not very useful to him, but in order to verify his research results, he can only make a test product.
This is just one of the studies that is not very expensive. For example, the magic circle in Odysseus's shirt, just that small piece of "Ahona Crystal" is worth 1,200 pounds!
So Odysseus, who has a high income, only lives an ordinary middle-class life.
It is also influenced by the concept before crossing. In daily expenses, he saves as much as possible and usually travels by public carriage.
When the pie was finished, the public carriage slowly drove over, and Odysseus got on the crowded carriage with the crowd.
...
On the second floor of the Kingdom Museum, in the restored study.
Max Livermore, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" team, asked the team members: "Are you sure that only two bookmarks were stolen?"
While speaking, he secretly glanced at the big man standing in front of the desk with his back to him.
It was an old man wearing a white priest robe and a clergyman's cap. He was the head of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in Backlund, a member of the Pre-God Conference, Archbishop Horamick Hayden.
The team member who was asked answered confidently: "Yes, only the two bookmarks were stolen."
Horamick's eyes flashed with an illusory light: "There was more than one person here last night, at least three, divided into two opposing parties.
"One of them may even have a higher sequence than me, and he has an accomplice. The other party is not clear, but it is certain that he escaped in a strange way.
"The high-sequence person immediately chased after him, and his accomplice... entered the spirit world and escaped..."
Max, with his angular facial lines, guessed: "A Beyonder from the 'Apprentice' path?"
The illusory light in Horamick's eyes gradually disappeared, and he shook his head gently: "It doesn't look like it."
Max nodded slowly, that must be the seal that used the "Apprentice" path.
But Horamick frowned and said, "It doesn't look like a seal is used."
Max looked puzzled. Not a Beyonder of the "Apprentice" path? Not a seal of that path? That's strange...
"Things are more complicated than we thought." Horamick sighed with a gentle expression, "I also know why they stole the bookmark.
"We have been deceived by Russell for more than 150 years!"
...
Dinglingling~
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, a customer came into the store. Kena, a 15-year-old clerk at the Gal Herb Shop, stopped sorting the herbs, put on the most friendly smile and asked, "Excuse me... Oh, it's Mr. Livermore, are you looking for Mr. Odysseus?"
Max Livermore, who had not slept all night and was busy for most of the day, nodded slowly with some fatigue.
Kena, who looked very energetic, made a gesture to the inside of the store: "Please come in." Max opened the inner door with ease. Inside the shop was a small courtyard, but it was filled with flower pots.
Some common herbs that were not too demanding in the growing environment were planted in the flower pots.
After passing the courtyard, there were two rooms, one of which was a warehouse and utility room, and the other was a room for Odysseus to rest and experiment.
Of course, this kind of experiment that can be "open to the public" does not involve Odysseus's secrets.
Max pushed open the door and first smelled the herbal smell in the room. Odysseus was wearing a mask and a hat, busy in front of a table of glasses and measuring cylinders.
After seeing Max come in, Odysseus stopped what he was doing: "Friend, you look very tired, just in time to try the potion I am preparing."
He paused and said, "Sit over there for a while, it will be ready soon."
Max was indeed a little tired. He sat on the chair and watched Odysseus mix the weighed powder and the potion that had been boiled in the measuring cylinder, and finally formed a blue potion.
Odysseus poured the potion from the measuring cylinder into the cup, and then handed it to Max: "This is the formula I traded with a wild extraordinary person who was suspected to be a 'pharmacist' some time ago. It can effectively relieve fatigue.
"Of course, I don't have the ability of a pharmacist. I can only use my spirituality to make the potion have limited effects."
The extraordinary incident that Odysseus encountered when he traveled through time was handled by Max, and later the two gradually became old friends who talked about everything.
The captain of the "Mechanical Heart" trusted Odysseus very much. After a simple look at the potion, he drank it all.
The potion turned sour, and the fatigue was indeed relieved after swallowing it. He handed the cup back to Odysseus: "It turns out that you can not only prepare potions that can enhance men's abilities in that aspect."
Odysseus took the cup and smiled, "That's the market demand."
He put down the cup, extinguished the alcohol lamp and asked, "How do you have time to come to me today?"
"There is an urgent task."
Odysseus was slightly stunned, and had already guessed: "You say."
"Help me find out if the noble children on this list have any abnormal behavior recently. "Max took out the list of names of noble children who had attended the exhibition alone last night.
This is a privilege of the nobles. Last night, after all the tourists had left, the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition" welcomed another group of noble children. The theft occurred that night, so they are quite suspicious.
Max stretched his neck a little and said, "Also, keep an eye out for anyone who has recently traded or used magical items similar to the 'Apprentice' path, and quietly purchased items used by Emperor Roselle at a high price. If you receive a bookmark, contact me immediately! "
Be careful to hide yourself in the next two tasks."
In fact, not only he, but the church also did not hold much hope for the next two tasks.
Odysseus said inwardly: Sure enough! The magical item similar to the 'Apprentice' path points to me. Ha, let me check my own evidence. I will never find any clues in this life.
"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Odysseus agreed.
Max stretched himself, then stood up suddenly and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Odysseus walked him to the door, then immediately returned to his desk to write a letter, stuffed it into an envelope, and sealed it with wax.
Arriving at the herbalist's shop, Odysseus handed the letter to Kena: "Send it to Ms. Mandy."
Kena took the letter and handed over a newspaper: "This is the special edition that was just delivered, you might be interested."
Odysseus took a look and said, "Oh? The serial killer has been shot dead!" Chapter 8 Odysse's Behind-the-scenes Boss
Recently, Backlund has been in a state of panic due to serial murders. The official Beyonders have strengthened their control over the entire city, making the wild Beyonders dare not do anything.
Odysse stopped Kena who was about to go out. He first found a pen and paper to write a few words, and then took out a 5-pound note and handed it to him: "Go to the Backlund Post again, and publish this advertisement on the third page as usual."
This money can be reimbursed by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, so his action of taking out money looks very generous.
In Backlund, the most popular newspapers are the Backlund Morning Post and the Loen Evening Post. It only costs 5 pounds to publish a small advertisement in an inconspicuous position in a newspaper like the Backlund Post, which does not sell very well.
Of course, in Odysse's memory, 5 pounds is sometimes the same price as a certain ambassador.
Last year, Odysse met Ikonser Bernard, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" in the Backlund region, under the introduction of Max.
After many consultations, Odysseus, with the help of the Steam Church, established a gathering-style "Mysticism Research Society", purchasing some extraordinary materials and spiritual materials that the Steam Church could use from the public, and processing some things that they could not use. Theoretically
, with Odysseus's strength, it is difficult to maintain such a gathering, but his "behind-the-scenes boss" is the Steam Church, and no one dares to have any objections.
After more than a year of operation, the gathering has more than a dozen low-sequence extraordinary people joining.
In addition, the gathering also has more than a dozen senior mysticism enthusiasts carefully selected by Odysseus. They all have their own channels and methods to know the existence of extraordinary people and hope to become one of them.
This is a good place to collect intelligence and spread news. At present, Odysseus has gradually become the eyes and ears of the Steam Church in Backlund.
Placing an advertisement in the Backlund Post is to use code words to announce the gathering time.
This is the way the "Eye of Wisdom" announces the gathering time. Odysseus thinks it is very useful, so he uses it without hesitation.
After Kaina left, Odysseus sat behind the counter to look after the store. Usually, from the evening, occult enthusiasts in need would start to patronize the herbal medicine store, and this continued until late at night.
Looking at the entire Backlund, Garr Herbal Medicine Store is the store with the most complete varieties. Odysseus enthusiasts in the entire city know that herbs that cannot be bought elsewhere can definitely be bought here.
After a tiring night, Odysseus rested in the easy chair as usual.
Ding-ling-ling~
Odysseus raised his head somewhat helplessly. When he heard this sound now, it was a bit like hearing a phone ring before crossing.
The visitor was a woman in her thirties. She was not very beautiful but had a good temperament. Her hairstyle was very fashionable, and her dress was also like the "new age woman" described in magazines.
Odysseus stood up and said, "How can I help you?"
The woman looked at the herbal medicine store for a while, and then looked at Odysseus: "Are you Odysseus Garr?"
"It's me."
"I'm here to pay the deposit and learn how to maintain the weapon." The woman handed Odysseus a paper bag with a stern face.
To be honest, she was very confused about this task, and she didn't know what this casually dressed young man in front of her could teach her.
But because it was the order of the "Queen", she rushed here as fast as she could, but she couldn't help but sound a little contemptuous.
Odysseus didn't pay much attention to the other person's expression. According to his observation, the person in front of him was at least a Sequence 7, or even a Sequence 6.
Facing a Sequence 9, she had the capital to be arrogant.
Odysseus opened the paper bag and counted the money. It was exactly 1,000 pounds.
He put the money on the counter casually: "Come back at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and I will explain the magic circle in the weapon and how to maintain it."
The lady frowned slightly: "Is it okay in the morning?"
"No, I have something to do tomorrow morning."
Because they hadn't had a party for a long time, Odysseus set the party time for tomorrow morning. The Backlund Post was on sale in the evening, so there was still time.
The lady glanced at Odysseus, then suddenly smiled and
said, "In the afternoon then." She turned and left without even introducing herself.
...
At eight o'clock in the morning, Odysseus, wearing a dark windbreaker and a low-brimmed hat, came to 77 Hilton Avenue in the south of Green Park.
This was a small house. Although the interior was very clean, it lacked the atmosphere of the residents.
After Odysseus looked outside from the window, he opened the door to the basement and reached out to inject spirituality at the right place to remove the extraordinary trap in the downward passage.
The basement was very empty, with only a table and a clothes hanger. On one of the walls was a huge "eight-pointed star" magic circle.
Each node of the magic circle was filled with gems engraved with mystical symbols. In the center of the magic circle, there was a layered door logo with a piece of "Ahona crystal" inlaid on it.
"Arjona Crystal" is one of the main materials for promotion to "Traveler". Its value is self-evident. The crystal on Odysseus's coat is very small, but it is worth 1,200 pounds, and the "Arjona Crystal" inlaid on the wall is worth 3,300 pounds.
However, Odysseus later divided the money into more than a dozen times and reimbursed it from the Steam Church.
Odysseus put on an iron mask engraved with mystical symbols here, took off his windbreaker, and put on a hooded cloak to cover all his features.
Then he came to the wall with the "Eight-pointed Star" array and injected spirituality into one of the gems. Under the effect of extraordinary materials, the "Eight-pointed Star" array opened an illusory passage.
Odysseus stepped into the illusion and came to a basement three streets away.
This array is based on the same principle as the array on his coat, but this is a fixed channel, so it is more stable and will not give the feeling of being blown to the sky by the storm.
Unfortunately, this magic circle can only allow one person to pass through, and there is only one fixed teleportation location. After using it once, you have to rest for an hour before you can use it again, and you can't carry it with you.
When he came to another basement, Odysseus didn't feel any discomfort. He walked from the basement to the living room outside in the dark.
At this time, several people who came to the party had come to the living room. Odysseus had always appeared from the basement, and they were used to it.
There were several rows of chairs in the spacious living room, and Odysseus sat on a small stage opposite these chairs.
The members who came to the party arrived one after another, and soon it was half past eight. The agreed party time had arrived, but only half of the participants came.
Odysseus said, "Okay, no more waiting."
A tall participant who was also wearing a mask said, "I hope they are all still alive."
Odysseus smiled and said, "Don't be so pessimistic."
He paused and announced, "Let's start the party!"
A participant in the back row said, first in a rough voice, "I want to recommend a new member! She is a bounty hunter active in the East District. I have dealt with her several times and she is very reliable.
"She seems to be an 'arbitrator', uh... just a little short."
Odysseus was stunned: Could this guy be recommending Hugh?
