Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 241 Odysseus Gall's Messenger
Beverly, who was chasing behind, saw Rupert throw a scroll casually and shouted "art".

At this moment, Beverly's spirit immediately sensed the danger, so she dodged slightly to the side.

She just dodged slightly, because in her opinion, how powerful could a scroll be?
Boom~
Beverly was blown seven or eight meters high. If she were an ordinary person, she would have been blown to pieces by now.

A large area of the surrounding morning market was destroyed by the bombing, and the burning wood and rags were blown farther away, setting fire to more simple stalls.

Up ahead, Rupert, tossed to the ground by the blast and tumbling several times in a panic, was somewhat bewildered. "Did I just throw a scroll? Why didn't that guy warn me that his scroll was so powerful? Wasn't he afraid I'd get killed too?"
After being stunned for a second or two, Rupert quickly sat up and looked at Beverly behind him.

At this time, she had been blown to pieces, with her intestines and internal organs scattered all over the floor, and she had lost all her elegant feminine temperament.

But Beverly did not die. Not only that, she suddenly stood up, scratched her internal organs, and looked at Rupert with bloodshot eyes.

For a "Potions Professor", even though she was seriously injured, she was still able to fight.

Rupert quickly crawled away from here, and soon he found that Beverly did not chase him.

He guessed that Beverly was afraid that the explosion would attract official Beyonders, and she would have difficulty escaping in her current state.

Arriving at an open-air bar, Rupert ordered a beer and drank half of it in one breath before he felt alive again.

Feeling the pain all over his body, Rupert sighed in his heart: I have indeed found the right person, but I didn't expect to escape in this way.

Then he thought that "Gourmet" Gal was an unusual person, and he should find an opportunity to interact with him more... Perhaps, he could also ask him for help with that matter.

……

Bayam, the second half of Lily Avenue.

After Odysseus got the news from Rupert, he immediately came to Lily Avenue to see if he could find old Quinn.

Because I only have a rough address, and it's not convenient to ask around... To be exact, there aren't many people on the street at this time.

So Odysseus quietly climbed up the bell tower and observed the surroundings.

He planned to observe the surrounding environment and come back to look for it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Boom~
At this moment, a distant explosion echoed throughout Bayam.

This immediately caused countless dogs barking, screams, and the sounds of people going out to check.

The bronze bells in the bell tower where Odysseus was located were shaking slightly.

He glanced towards the explosion: "It sounds a bit like an 'explosive scroll'! Did Rupert use it so quickly?"
Then Odysseus smiled: I hope he wasn't hurt by the explosion.

At this time, Odysseus had already memorized the surrounding terrain in his mind. When he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that people from the surrounding houses kept coming out to check the source of the explosion.

He had an idea and lowered his head a little, using the moonlight to carefully observe those who went out to check.

Soon, Odysseus found his target.

In a very inconspicuous small courtyard, a young man went out to check with a lantern, followed by an old man with gray hair dressed like a local.

This old man was none other than Old Quinn.

He went out to take a look and found that the explosion was far away from here. He asked the young man holding the lantern to observe outside for a while while he went back.

Odysseus swiftly descended from the bell tower. After his promotion, his corresponding ability as a "combat scholar" was also enhanced, and he became much more agile.

Odysseus walked quickly past the people who were pointing and discussing what had just happened, and quickly approached the courtyard he remembered according to his memory.

After observing for a while, Odysseus opened his briefcase and took out the "Scroll of Invisibility".

After being promoted to "Scroll Professor", not only is the power of the scroll much greater than witchcraft, but he can also create scrolls with effects such as "invisibility" and "sleep".

Of course, the effects of these scrolls are much weaker than the abilities of extraordinary people of the corresponding paths, but if used properly, they can also produce unexpected results.

Just like the "Invisibility Scroll", the invisibility effect cannot be compared with the "Witch". After all, when the "Witch" is invisible, she will not make any sound whether she is walking or running.

But Odysseus had to be careful, otherwise he would easily make noise and would not be able to hide his smell.

In addition, the theories of the two are also different. The "invisibility" of the "witch" is due to the extraordinary ability, which makes her disappear without a trace.

Odysseus's "invisibility scroll" is only optically invisible. It can be understood that at this moment Odysseus can suddenly be penetrated by light and becomes transparent.

People around him cannot capture the light reflected from his body, so naturally they cannot see him.

Therefore, in Odysseus's view, the "Invisibility Scroll" is mainly used to catch the opponent off guard, and don't expect to hide it from the spirituality and senses of the extraordinary person for a long time.

Odysseus pronounced the word "hide" in ancient Hermetic language, and the scroll in his hand shattered, as if forming a dark vortex, making Odysseus' figure quickly become transparent.

While Odysseus was sighing at the good effect of the scroll, he also thought that he should unify the spells on his scrolls. Otherwise, if each scroll had a different spell, he would have to distinguish them later, which might waste crucial time.

Thinking of this, Odysseus focused his attention, stopped thinking about other things, and climbed over the wall.

At this time, the young man holding the lantern was still listening carefully to the conversations of people outside, hoping to find some useful information.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear some sound and looked towards the courtyard wall. There was nothing there, so the young man didn't pay any attention to it.

Odysseus looked past the young man into the room. There were only old Quinn and three or four men who looked like thugs inside.

They were still awake and playing cards.

As soon as Odysseus entered the room, old Quinn immediately looked towards the door. Although he saw nothing, the old guy was already alert.

In invisible state, Odysseus quickly took out the "Sleeping Scroll" from his briefcase, recited the corresponding spell, and threw it on the card table.

The moment he heard Odysseus's spell, Old Quinn jumped back suddenly.

He didn't know what kind of attack the enemy was going to make, but it would be better to dodge it to be safe.

But he was still a beat too late to dodge. He saw a scroll on the card table break and emit a peaceful light. Old Quinn immediately felt very sleepy. He fought hard to fight the fatigue and did not fall asleep.

The other people at the table immediately lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

Odysseus stepped forward quickly and kicked Old Quinn down with one foot. At the same time, his invisibility was lifted. Odysseus, wearing formal attire and a leather bag around his waist, appeared in front of Old Quinn.

He placed one foot on the chest of old Quinn, who was fighting fatigue, and slowly put on the "Hand of Judgment".

Old Quinn immediately felt that the young man in front of him had become much taller and more majestic. The pressure he exuded even made Old Quinn feel like a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to breathe.

His sleepiness disappeared, but his spirit was exposed to the young man without any protection.

The young man seemed to be waving a whip in his hand, as if he could whip his spirit at any time, causing terrible pain and harm.

Odysseus asked coldly, "Do you know Odell, the Silver Viper?"

"I know him!" Old Quinn felt that only by telling the truth could his spirit feel better. "It is said that he... he works for the Queen of Mystery."

After saying this, Old Quinn's face was already flushed, and beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on his forehead.

Odysseus smiled and said, "How is it? Just the thought of hiding something makes you so uncomfortable. Do you want to experience the feeling of lying?"

Faced with overwhelming strength, Old Quinn immediately shook his head.

Odysseus continued, "Why do you think I came to ask you about the 'Silver Coin Viper'? I'll give you five seconds to think about it and then tell me who that guy is working for.
"Five, four..."

As an intelligence officer, Old Quinn, although only Sequence 9, has been engaged in intelligence work for many years, allowing him to know the information of many secret organizations.

Under tremendous pressure, his mind suddenly became active and he recalled the scroll that had just appeared on the table.

This reminded Old Quinn of a lot of information about the "Dawn of the Elements", such as the fact that many members of this organization could create scrolls with various magical powers.

He immediately figured out what was going on: it seemed that some of the actions of that bastard Odel had angered some members of the "Elemental Dawn", causing them to send people to investigate Odel's purpose.

So when Odysseus just counted to "two", Old Quinn quickly said: "He...he is actually working for the 'Blood Admiral'.

"Lying that he was working for the 'Mysterious Queen' was... a clever way for him to hide his identity."

Odysseus nodded with satisfaction: "Very good."

As he spoke, he withdrew his foot, as if he was about to leave.

Old Quinn, feeling as if he had been pardoned, immediately struggled to sit up. What he didn't expect was that Odysseus suddenly bent down, grabbed Old Quinn's gray-haired head, and broke his neck in one go.

Just now, Odysseus came in "invisibly" to prevent the important subordinates of the "Blood General" from being in the room.

After realizing that there was only one Sequence 9 here, there was no need to waste the scroll.

Old Quinn's whole body was twitching, his eyes fixed on Odysseus, as if he was cursing the murderer with his eyes.

Odysseus said, "Neither of the Blood Admiral's subordinates are good people."

As he spoke, he strode into the yard. The young man with the lantern saw Odysseus, but before he could react, Odysseus kicked him and sent him flying, causing him to faint on the spot.

Odysseus had no intention of leaving any survivors, so he took out the dagger he carried with him and prepared to end the lives of these people.

It’s not that he was afraid of being targeted by the “Blood Admiral”, but the pirate group of the “Blood Admiral” has always been famous for its bloodthirstiness and murderousness. His subordinates’ hands were also stained with blood, and they deserved to die.

Odysseus had just killed the young man in the yard and was about to go into the house to kill the thugs, but as soon as he reached the door, his spirit realized that something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he immediately left the room and quietly observed the situation inside.

After all, the "Blood Admiral" whom Old Quinn serves is backed by the "Rose School", and the background of this secret organization is even more terrifying.

Odysseus was afraid that after Old Quinn's death, some strange things would be triggered. If the danger continued to spread, he planned to throw an "explosive scroll" into the house to attract the attention of the official Beyonders, and then he would leave immediately.

But the danger did not seem to continue to spread. At this time, Odysseus's spirit seemed to sense something and looked at the stone door locked with iron chains.

He saw this stone door when he just entered the room, but because he didn't feel any danger, he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard from the inside of the stone gate, and suddenly a huge force broke the iron chain, and the stone gate suddenly opened.

Inside the room was a man with deep features, rough outlines and dark blue hair. He saw everyone outside lying on the table and smiled slightly.

But when he saw that the characteristics of old Quinn were already being extracted, his eyes focused, and after a little searching, he found Odysseus in the yard with a leather bag tied around his waist.

Odysseus was also a little confused at this time: This guy looks familiar, hmm...could it be Alger, the "Hanged Man"? He's here...wait a minute, Old Quinn, the intelligence officer of the "Blood Admiral"...could Gehrman Sparrow be the second mate hunting the "Blood Admiral" tonight?
That was indeed Alger, and it was indeed the second mate "Steel" Mai Weiti who was working with "The World" tonight to hunt "The Blood Admiral".

Just now, Alger received a notification from "The World" that the hunt had been successful, so he released the "anesthetic gas" he had traded from "The Moon" and prepared to go out and kill.

The danger that Odysseus' spirit just felt was the danger of those "anesthetic gases".

At this moment, Alger couldn't determine whether the young man in the yard was a friend or foe, nor could he be sure of the other party's strength, so he chose to wait and see.

The two people stood there looking at each other for two or three seconds as if they were facing each other.

Odysseus, who had a "God's perspective", was the first to react: "If you are not Old Quinn's accomplice, throw out his body. It's my trophy."

He first said that he had just killed Old Quinn and was not in the same group with him, so there should be no misunderstanding.

The second was to clarify his purpose to prevent Alger from making a misjudgment.

At this time, after seeing the body in the yard, Alger roughly understood what was going on.

So he threw old Quinn's body into the yard with some caution, watched the young man with a leather bag tied around his waist put away old Quinn's characteristics, then took off his hat slightly towards him and said goodbye politely.

Only after the young man left the yard did Alger quickly kill the thugs around the card table, loot the place, and leave immediately.

……

Odysseus quickly left the courtyard, his lips curled up slightly. He didn't expect to meet another Tarot Club member during today's operation.

Then Odysseus thought: Klein made a lot of money from tonight's hunt! After coming to the sea, he finally became a little richer, and he could be said to have temporarily escaped the shadow of the "God of Poverty".

While daydreaming, he came to an empty street corner and used the "travel ring" to return to the Emerald Palace on Lasha Island.

Although he had "found out" the Silver Viper's true allegiance today, he planned to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to visit Bayam again and report his findings to the Mysterious Queen, demonstrating that this mission was not so easy to accomplish.

Then Odysseus took out the characteristics extracted by Old Quinn and took a look. At this time, his "Eye of Prying Eyes" could already see that this was a sequence 9 level characteristic.

After arriving at the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and identifying it again, I confirmed that it was a characteristic of a "prisoner".

Odysseus casually threw this characteristic onto the storage shelf in the room. It was not easy for him to use this characteristic, so he put it here for now.

Back in the real world, lying on his bed, Odysseus carefully recalled Klein's recent movements: "Sea God" Kalvetuwa was about to die, and then he contacted "Vice Admiral Iceberg"...

Odysseus thought: Should I establish contact with Vice Admiral Iceberg through Klein?
Besides fulfilling his recent desire to sail as a pirate, Odysseus also had a crucial mission: to quickly contact the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom. Odysseus believed his research would surely attract the Church's attention. With their protection, he wouldn't have to fear the God of Steam and Machinery or the Hidden Sage.

But then he thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea, because German Sparrow was a man with a strong personality, and it would affect Vice Admiral Iceberg's first impression of him.

After thinking it over, Odysseus decided to look for another opportunity.

Then he took a deep breath: Then the important task in the next few days is to organize an intelligence exchange meeting.

As for the incident involving the "Sea God" Kalvetuva, Odysseus did not intend to intervene. After all, he did not possess the abilities of the "Fool". Since he could not find Kalvetuva's hiding place, he could not gain any benefits from it.

Moreover, if Odysseus is too enthusiastic about this, it will easily attract the attention of the Storm Church.

However, the struggle between "Sea King" and "Sea God" in the next few days can be treated as important intelligence and announced at the intelligence exchange meeting to shock the crowd.

But it should be noted that the final result cannot be revealed. Otherwise, the "Manufactured Punisher" will definitely invite him for tea.

Speaking of the process, the "Substitute Punisher" would at most ask a few questions, and might even just ask Bishop Dean.

After all, the struggle between the two was so obvious that anyone with relevant extraordinary knowledge could guess what was going on.

As he was thinking, Odysseus fell asleep.

On Thursday morning, Odysseus first went to the dock. There was not much to do today, so he returned to the Emerald Palace around ten o'clock.

Just as Odysseus was considering whether to take a break or go to Bayam, he suddenly realized that he should get a messenger as soon as possible. This would make it more convenient to contact the people in Backlund.

Odysseus possessed the knowledge to obtain messengers, but before Sequence 6, he was afraid of summoning a malicious being and being unable to protect himself.

Therefore, before this, there had been no ceremony to obtain the messenger.

Having some time today, Odysseus took candles and spiritual materials and came to an uninhabited island.

After carefully recalling the process of summoning the messenger, Odysseus lit a candle on the ground and said solemnly in ancient Hermetic language: "I!

"I call in my name:
"A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, is willing to be my messenger."

There was a "demonstration" similar to the one at the job fair when Klein summoned the messenger, so Odysseus directly used such a spell to see what he could summon.

Woo!
A cold wind blew by, making Odysseus feel eerie under the scorching sun, and the candle flame turned into a dark green.

But there was nothing in front of Odysseus. Just when he thought the summoning had failed, his spirit sensed that there was actually a creature in front of him, but it was in a state similar to invisibility.

This is good, as it is very discreet whether receiving or delivering mail.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Would you be willing to be my messenger?"

At this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew on his neck, making him shiver.

Odysseus thought that the other party was going to harm him and was about to use the "Travel Ring" to leave, but then he remembered that he did not feel any malice from the other party.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was the other party's way of answering him.

This made him slap his forehead and forget to add the description of "can communicate".

So he said embarrassedly: “Your status would make you a good messenger, but we can’t communicate. I’m sorry, this does not meet my requirements.

"But your trip won't be in vain. I have prepared a spiritual gift for you to take back to the spirit world and enjoy."

The reason why Odysseus was so polite was because he was not the master of the "Source Castle" that was above the spiritual world. Perhaps only Klein could summon it multiple times, and no spiritual creature dared to complain.

In order to avoid trouble, Odysseus prepared several bottles of spiritual essential oils, which are the favorite "food" of creatures in the spiritual world.

Sure enough, after receiving the gift, the "invisible" being disappeared. After Odysseus ended the summons, the color of the candle turned back to orange, and the cold feeling around it also disappeared.

Odysseus stretched his arms, cleared his throat, and continued to call: "Me!

"I call in my name:
"A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, can communicate with language, and is willing to be my messenger."

The candle flame turned dark green again, and the surroundings became cold again.

At this time, the candle flame grew bigger, and a tentacle stretched out from it, and then a strange-looking creature crawled out. He moved with the tentacles, but had a human-like torso and head, but no arms.

And there are only three mouths on the head.

After appearing before Odysseus, one of them said, "Are you summoning me?"

Before Odysseus could answer, the middle mouth opened: "Nonsense, is there another person here?"

The third mouth said, "What if there is another person who is invisible?"

The mouth in the middle said unconvincedly, "Why does he have to be invisible to perform the ritual?"

The third mouth said: "Maybe it's just a hobby."

……

Odysseus stretched out his hand. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm asking you to communicate with me using language, not to communicate on your own, big brother! Also, are you the reincarnation of Medici? You have the same mouth on the same head, why are you still arguing?"
He quickly interrupted the three people: "This... No, three of you, I'm sorry, you don't quite meet my requirements, so please..."

"What?" The first one said in a scoundrel tone, "You summoned us here, and now you say we don't meet the requirements?"

But the three mouths did not speak in unison. The second mouth said, "I knew long ago that growing up with you would not end well."

The third mouth also said: "It's mainly because you two talk too much and annoy the person who summoned us."

The first mouth was not to be outdone: "Although I am a little better than all of you, when it comes to shirking responsibility, I am far inferior to you."

……

It was not until Odysseus took out the spiritual essential oil he had prepared that the three mouths closed at the same time.

Odysseus quickly said, "I won't let your trip be in vain. I have prepared a spiritual gift. Please... take it back to the spirit world and enjoy it."

Three mouths said in unison: "Good stuff!"

As they spoke, they stretched out their tentacles and wrapped around the bottle of essential oil.

Odysseus quickly said in ancient Hermetic language: “I!

"I end this summons in my own name."

The candlelight suddenly grew larger, and a suction force dragged the three-mouthed monster into it, disappearing from the real world.

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I was prepared."

Otherwise, every time his messenger delivered a letter, he would probably have to say a few words of "Ba Ma Gua" to the sender before doing his real work.

Odysseus thought carefully before calling for the third time: "Me!

"I call in my name:
"A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, with which I can communicate normally, and is willing to be my messenger."

Woo~
The cold wind started to blow again, the candlelight turned green and grew bigger, and a leg stepped out from inside.

Os breathed a sigh of relief. It was a normal human-shaped leg, wearing trousers and leather boots. This time it was correct.

When the other party came out completely, Odysseus was stunned again.

The guy summoned this time was wearing a classic women's hunting suit, had beautiful long black hair, a dark beret, and leather gloves.

These all look normal, except for the head, which is a skull, the kind without any flesh on it.

"Are you calling me?" the other party asked, opening his toothless mouth.

Only then did Odysseus come to his senses. There was colorful light in the skull's head, which obviously showed that it was intelligent.

"Yes." He cleared his throat. "Well, I am... putting everything else aside, I'm curious, what organ do you use to make that sound?"

The other person replied: "Spirituality."

Odysseus nodded slowly and thought to himself: Apart from being a skeleton, everything else is normal.

But he was afraid that when delivering the letter, he would scare the recipient.

Just as Odysseus hesitated, the skeleton said again: "I know you."

Odysseus thought to himself: You won’t say that I killed you, will you?

He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I don't remember killing...seeing you."

"You're not the murderer," the skull said. "You want a messenger, don't you? I'm the best fit."

Odysseus was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"If you need anything, I can help you contact the 'Almighty Lord.'" Although the skeleton had no flesh and could not make any expressions, Odysseus could feel that the other party spoke very calmly.

Odysseus smiled and said, "You may not know yet? He has fallen for many years."

"No, He hasn't completely fallen." The skeleton said with great certainty, "Whether it's humanity or divinity, I can connect with it."

Odysseus was immediately very surprised. You know, this was the highest secret of the "Ancient Sun God", the "True Creator" and Adam. Normally, he didn't even dare to think about it.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "You... who are you?"

The skeleton said, "Guess."

Then she said, "I can also help you find Amon and let Him..."

Odysseus quickly stopped her and said, "I want you to be my messenger!"

Let Him destroy me?
Don't joke about that, that guy is so scary!

The skeleton in hunting clothes stopped talking and waited there quietly.

Odysseus took a deep breath and said according to the ritual: "Are you willing to sign the contract and become my messenger?"

The skeleton took off his beret and said, “Okay.

"But I have a request."

Odysseus said, "You say."

"After you become a demigod, help me regain my special abilities." The skeleton said, "But if you fail to become a demigod, then I will be your postman for free."

Odysseus was slightly taken aback. "Madam, your request sounds like a very dangerous action. I just want you to help deliver a message."

"It shouldn't be too dangerous for you." The skeleton said, "I can provide you with some help. Of course, if you feel it is too dangerous, you can leave and come back when you are ready.

"Besides, this process will definitely bring you some benefits, so it's not a disadvantage for you."

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "I need the power to postpone the search and refuse, otherwise I wouldn't dare sign an agreement with you."

The skeleton laughed. "Sometimes, you are too cautious."

Odysseus took a deep breath and said, "This way we can live longer."

"Okay." The skeleton said in a cheerful tone, "You have the right to refuse or postpone."

Odysseus then said, "Let's sign the contract."

This skeleton is obviously not an ordinary spiritual creature, so Odysseus is inclined to sign a contract with her.

Odysseus had prepared the contract long ago, and the terms included that the messenger could not read the letters, discard the letters, or endanger the life of the contractor.

Odysseus took out the parchment and added what they had just discussed, and specifically noted that he could refuse or postpone the search.

In order to make the contract binding enough, Odysseus added the name of the underworld, which was equivalent to making the underworld a witness.

Finally, Odysseus signed his name: Odysseus Gal.

After signing, the skeleton waved his hand, picked up the pen and signed his name: Elbella Stiano.

Stiano!

Odysseus's eyes narrowed. He remembered that this seemed to be the surname of the "God of Steam and Machinery"!
