Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 148 Nice Loot (More!)

In the living room, darkness surged like a tide, and the entire room turned into a huge black lake.

Odysseus grabbed a handful of golden powder and was about to sprinkle it out when he discovered that the darkness was flowing towards the dead "hermit".

After he confirmed again that the "hermit" had been killed by him, he did not take any further action immediately.

In fact, when Odysseus used the power of "death" to hit the "hermit", he had basically killed him, and the subsequent sword strike could only be regarded as a finishing blow.

This made him sigh: The combo of the "Arbitrator" path is really useful. First is "Imprisonment", followed by "Death". The average Sequence 7 will be at least seriously injured by "Death".

Of course, even at the Sequence 7 level, there were ways to circumvent it. It was just that Odysseus had acted so well in the previous scenes that the "hermit" completely believed that this "wizard" had only that much ability. That's when he rushed out from the shadows, wanting to cooperate with the summoned monster to deal with the enemy in front of him.

Odysseus used the seal at the right time, which allowed him to defeat his opponent so easily.

While Odysseus was daydreaming, the extraordinary characteristics of the "hermit" in front of him were converging on an iron-black ring on his hand.

Odysseus did not stop the process, as this indicated that a seal would be formed.

After seven or eight minutes, the iron-black ring expanded to twice its size, and wisps of black mist wrapped around the ring.

Soon all the mist entered the ring, forming a dark black ring with a frosted effect.

Odysseus took off the ring and put it into the "Wilderness of Knowledge" together with the "Hand of Judgment". Then he took out gas masks, gloves, sacks, sponges, raincoats and other items from the basement and used "corpse-dissolving water" to dissolve the corpse.

He stuffed the sponge soaked with yellow corpse fluid into a sack and threw it into the trash can outside.

After finishing all this, Odysseus sprayed some potions to dissipate the smell in the room, completely covering up any traces of the "hermit"'s presence.

Odysseus, who had just killed a Sequence 7, read a book for a while, and made sure that no other enemies came, then returned to the second floor to wash up and rest.

After lying on the bed, Odysseus first used "Meditation" to enter the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to check the ability of the ring he had just seized.

This ring has quite a few abilities: it allows you to move quickly within the shadows of darkness, or remain motionless within them. As long as you conceal your malice, the opponent's spirits will find it difficult to sense. It can also summon monsters from the darkness, which can bite both human bodies and spirits, with a maximum of 12 monsters.

Odysseus probably understood that the darkness that surged towards the "hermit" like a tide just now was the power of these monsters.

This should be the ability that "Hermits" possess when they reach Sequence 8 "Listener". At this sequence, it is easy to hear from their gods and learn some strange abilities.

With this in mind, Odysseus focused again and examined the ring's negative effects: After wearing it, it was easy to hear some maddening mutterings. Drinking a small cup of fresh human blood before wearing it could effectively reduce the intensity of those mutterings. Wearing it also made it easy to have some evil thoughts, and it could easily affect the wearer's normal judgment.

Generally speaking, these negative effects are not too difficult to avoid. First, you can only wear it when fighting, or always prepare a small bottle of human blood, or simply drink a glass of your own blood before use.

The second impact may seem less harmful, but it is difficult to avoid because it usually happens imperceptibly. You can only carefully "review" your own thoughts to avoid making mistakes.

Overall, this seal is pretty good and there is no problem selling it for 1200 pounds.

Odysseus plans to sell another sealed object at the Tarot meeting next week, but he can keep this ring for a while, as it may be useful in the future.

After returning to the real world, Odysseus was in a good mood, and the whole thing also became clear to him.

Yesterday morning, when the "hermit" was using his extraordinary ability, he was accidentally seen by the peddler's nephew. The "hermit" then summoned a black monster to bite the child's spirit, causing him to lose the ability to speak, and wanted the child to die slowly in pain.

As a result, the monster was brought to Odysseus by the peddler and was killed by Odysseus.

The "hermit" noticed something and came looking for him.

At the same time, this also left the members of "Mechanical Heart" empty-handed.

In the end, the "hermit" was killed, and Odysseus made a huge profit from this "business".

Odysseus turned over and thought again: If the other party is a member of the "Aurora Society", the "Aurora Society" should launch some investigation. After all, a Sequence 7 died, they can't just ignore it.

Subsequent problems are not difficult to resolve. If any members of the "Aurora Society" find this place, they will immediately inform the "Mechanical Heart" and let the official Beyonders attract firepower.

As he was thinking, Odysseus fell asleep. An early warning array had been set up in the house, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked.

The next morning, when Odysseus got up, the first thing he saw was a lot of hair on his pillow. Then he remembered that one of the negative effects of the glove was hair loss.

I didn't expect that I would lose so much hair after wearing it for just a few minutes yesterday. If I use it frequently in the future, I really need to drink some hair growth potion.

After breakfast, Odysseus donned his "helmet of wisdom" and dressed as Gandalf, arriving at Enoch's bar. Enoch had already gathered several of his men, who were waiting there. When they saw Odysseus, dressed in wizard robes and a pointed hat, enter, they were stunned for a moment. Then one of the gang members jokingly said, "Do wizards also need to drink to drown their sorrows?"

Just when everyone was about to burst into laughter, they saw the boss Enoch's sullen face and cold eyes, so everyone held back their laughter. Some had already opened their mouths, but then forced themselves to close them again.

Enoch asked Odysseus politely, "Excuse me, were you introduced by Mr. Gall?"

I originally thought that Mr. Gal would come today to use the latest research he mentioned, but I didn’t expect a wizard to come instead. Could it be that he was using spells to give people some fighting skills?
"Yes." Odysseus took out the helmet from the bag. "Who goes first?"

Everyone was watching and no one came forward.

Enoch had no choice but to call out, "Blackhand, you go first!"

The member nicknamed "Black Hand" stepped forward reluctantly: "Boss, is he really a wizard? Is he a liar?"

There are a lot of scammers these days, especially in the East District.

Odysseus suddenly sprinkled a handful of red powder, and the moment it was sprinkled, it turned into a ball of fire, burning above everyone's heads for a second or two before dissipating.

Some people stepped back in surprise, while others looked at the scene in amazement and even forgot to step back.

Odysseus cleared his throat and asked again, "Who goes first?"

The member nicknamed "Black Hand" hurried over and sat down obediently in front of Odysseus.

Odysseus put a "helmet of wisdom" on him and injected spirituality into it. The magic circle was activated instantly. After matching the brain wave frequency of "Black Hand", the knowledge of the "combat scholar" characteristics was poured into the brain of "Black Hand" through the transmission of the Amanda crystal.

The process was completed in an instant, and Odysseus took off his helmet: "Alright."

Black Hand was a little bit unbelievable: "Alright?"

Odysseus casually pointed at one of Enoch's subordinates and said, "Come here, let's have a fight."

The others started to make a fuss, moved the tables and chairs away, and cleared some space. The two men began to fight, and the "black hand" indeed used many fighting techniques when he attacked, and he quickly gained the upper hand.

Odysseus said, "One more person."

Enoch immediately sent out another subordinate to fight against "Black Hand" two on one, but "Black Hand" was still not at a disadvantage.

"Alright, alright." Odysseus used his long staff to push the three fighting men apart like they were playing with toys. "I think this is enough to prove that Black Hand has acquired sufficient fighting skills in his head.

"Now let's move on to the next one!"

This time, there was no need for Enoch to assign anyone. Everyone was vying to wear the helmet. Some gang members who had originally been skeptical and had no intention of acquiring any fighting skills also expressed their willingness to accept it.

It only took a few minutes to instill that knowledge into everyone's mind.

The brain wave frequencies of most people can be coordinated with the spiritual frequency of the "wisdom helmet". Only three people needed forced infusion, and their headaches lasted only for a short while before they went away.

Odysseus carefully observed their adverse reactions and after confirming that they were nothing serious, he put away his helmet and said to Enoch, "There is some other knowledge mixed in with the combat knowledge, so don't pay attention to that.

"It would be best to hire a fighting coach to guide everyone again. Within a month, you and your subordinates will all become fighting masters."

Enoch understood. "I'll find a trainer in a minute."

Then, the entire gang respectfully escorted Odysseus out, praising his superb "witchcraft".

After all, no one has ever seen that knowledge can be acquired without learning in this way.

This is why Odysseus used the identity of the "wizard" Gandalf to instill fighting skills into them. Their praise made Odysseus feel that the potion had been digested a little bit again.

This made Odysseus think further: "A wizard must win the trust of the people. Just like in a tribe, if people don't trust the wizard, then the sacrifices and other activities presided over by the wizard will definitely not be respected. This wizard has failed miserably."

Furthermore, things like mysticism require some performances and means to make people believe. As long as the target has trust in oneself, it can be considered a successful performance.

While summarizing, Odysseus took a carriage back to his residence. When he got off the carriage, he saw a luxurious carriage parked in front of his house.
