Chapter 148 Nice Loot (Update!)
Chapter 148 Nice Loot (Update!)
In the living room, darkness rolled in 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 sword that followed could only be regarded as a finishing blow.
This made him sigh: The combo of the "Arbitrator" path is really useful. First it is "Imprisonment", followed by "Death". Generally, Sequence 7 will be hit by "Death" and at least seriously injured.
Of course, even at the level of Sequence 7, there is a way to circumvent it, but Odysseus' previous performance was too good, and the "hermit" completely believed that this "wizard" was only capable of such a limited ability, so he rushed out from the shadows and wanted to cooperate with the summoned monster to deal with the enemy in front of him.
Odysseus used the seal at the right time, which allowed him to defeat his opponent so easily.
While Odysseus was daydreaming, the extraordinary characteristics of the "hermit" in front of him were concentrating on an iron-black ring on his hand.
Odysseus did not stop 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 entwined 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, rain cloths 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 to make sure that no other enemies were coming, 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 capabilities of the ring he had just seized.
The ability of this ring is quite good: you can move quickly in the dark shadows, or hide in the shadows without moving. As long as you hide your malice, the other party's spirit will find it difficult to sense it. You can summon monsters from the darkness, which can bite people's bodies or spirits, with a maximum of 12 monsters.
Odysseus roughly understood that the darkness that had just surged towards the "Monk" like a tide was the power of these monsters.
This should be the ability that the Hermit possesses when they reach Sequence 8 "Listener". At this sequence, it is easy to hear from their gods and learn some strange abilities.
Thinking of this, Odysseus concentrated again and checked the negative effects of the ring: after wearing it, it is easy to hear some crazy mumblings. If you drink a small cup of fresh human blood before wearing it, you can effectively reduce the intensity of those mumblings. After wearing it, it is easy to have some evil thoughts, which can 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 influence may seem less harmful, but it is difficult to avoid because it usually happens imperceptibly. You can only carefully "review" your own ideas to avoid making mistakes.
Overall, this seal is pretty good and there is no problem selling it for 1,200 pounds.
Odysseus is going to sell another sealed object at the Tarot meeting next week, but this ring can be kept for a while, maybe it will be useful in the future.
After returning to the real world, Odysseus was in a good mood, and the whole context of the matter became roughly clear to him.
Yesterday morning, when the "hermit" was using his extraordinary ability, he was accidentally seen by the nephew of the vendor. Then the "hermit" summoned a black monster to tear apart 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.
Finally, the "monk" was killed, and Odysseus made a fortune 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 investigations. After all, a Sequence 7 died, and 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 come to 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 the 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 put on the "helmet of wisdom" and came to Enoch's bar dressed as "Gandalf".
Enoch had gathered several of his subordinates to wait here. When they saw Odysseus, who was wearing a wizard robe and a wizard hat, come in, they were stunned for a moment. Then a gang member laughed and said, "Do wizards also need to drink to relieve their sorrows?"
Just when everyone was ready to laugh out loud, they saw the eldest brother Enoch's livid face and cold eyes, so everyone held back their laughter, and some had already opened their mouths but closed them again.
Enoch asked Odysseus politely, "Excuse me, were you introduced by Mr. Gall?"
I thought it was Mr. Gal who came today to use the latest research he mentioned, but I didn't expect a wizard to come. Could it be that he used magic to give people some fighting skills?
"Yes." Odysseus took out a helmet from the bag: "Who will come first?"
Everyone was watching and no one 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?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
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 a flash, and Odysseus took off his helmet: "Okay."
Black Hand was a little bit unbelievable: "Okay?"
Odysseus pointed at one of Enoch's subordinates and said, "Come here, let's have a fight."
The rest of the people started to make a fuss, and moved the tables and chairs away, leaving 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 "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 he was pulling apart a few toys. "I think this is enough to prove that Black Hand has enough 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 about it and did not intend to learn 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 "smart helmet". Only three people needed forced infusion, and their headaches only lasted for a short while before going away.
Odysseus carefully observed their adverse reactions, and after confirming that there was 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 knowledge.
"It would be best if you could hire a fighting coach to teach everyone. Within a month, you and your subordinates will all become fighting masters."
Enoch understood, "I'll find a coach 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 it 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 was slightly digested again.
This made Odysseus think further: "Wizards" must win people's trust, just like in a tribe, if people don't trust the wizard, then the activities such as sacrifices presided over by the wizard will definitely not be respected. This wizard did a very bad job.
Furthermore, things like mysticism require some performances and means to make people believe in them. 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.
In order to maintain the integrity of the story, an additional chapter is added.
(End of this chapterChapter 149 A New Customer Arrives
Chapter 149 A New Customer Arrives
The carriage parked in front of No. 66 Rose Street is very luxuriously decorated and more beautiful in appearance. It is different from most carriages running on the road.
When Odysseus saw the carriage, he guessed that the person sitting inside was a wealthy man who had bought a title.
Because there are some exclusive decorations for the nobility on the carriage, but there is no noble family emblem on the door, which generally means that the carriage belongs to a baron or lord.
But generally speaking, the inherited barons or lords do not have the financial resources to decorate their carriages so gorgeously.
So Odysseus guessed that the other party should be a wealthy man who had the ability to buy a title.
While he was lost in thought, he walked around the carriage and came to the door of his house.
At this time, the door of the car opened, and a man dressed as a servant asked: "Excuse me, are you Gandalf the wizard?"
Odysseus didn't even turn his head and said as he opened the door, "Yes."
The manservant said again: "Sir, please come to the carriage to talk."
Odysseus opened the door and still didn't turn around: "If you want to talk, come and talk with me."
As he spoke, he walked in and placed the cloth bag containing the "smart helmet" on the shelf.
The "sir" outside also got off the carriage and walked in with his valet, a man in his forties, a little fat, with a small mustache, a smiling face, and a very shrewd look in his eyes.
Odysseus asked him to sit down: "Sorry, I don't have tea or coffee here. I'm sure you are not used to my drinks."
The Jazz smiled and said, "I didn't come here for tea."
Odysseus glanced at the fireplace, waved his hand and sprinkled a handful of transparent powder. A gust of wind blew and blew the firewood into the fireplace.
This action stunned the butler behind the knight. The knight was also a little surprised, but he was a worldly-wise man and easily hid his surprise in his heart.
"Tell me what you want from me." Odysseus said as he casually sprinkled a handful of powder again.
Whoosh!
The fireplace suddenly lit up by itself.
This action made the Jazz, who originally looked very casual, lean forward and look a little nervous.
He cleared his throat to hide his emotions before introducing himself: "I'm Brad Rick, you can call me Brad or Lord Rick.
"I came to you because I have a personal matter that I don't know how to deal with, and I want to hear your advice."
Odysseus nodded: "You say."
"I bought a manor in the suburbs last year," Brad narrated. "The main part of the manor is a small castle built during the Twenty Years' War.
"That was the asset of the once-powerful Frank family, but in the past one or two hundred years, the family has declined, and now the Frank family only has the title of Viscount.
"The scenery there is beautiful, it's close to the mountains, and hunting is very convenient. It's a great estate.
"It was also by the lake there that I met the beautiful Miss Eleanor Frank, a gentle and beautiful girl with elegant conversation and a wide range of interests.
"We often chat on the grass and by the lake for the whole afternoon."
At this point, Brad still looked affectionate, but the following description made his expression more and more serious: "I asked Miss Eleanor about her family details and learned that there is a branch of the Frank family living in a small village opposite the mountain.
"I talked about that village with my friend, but he told me that the village had been destroyed in a fire 20 years ago and there were no survivors.
"I found it incredible, so I sent people to investigate, and sure enough, I saw a burned-out village on the other side of the mountain, and it seemed that there were no villages around.
"But when I went to the castle again a few days ago, I met Miss Eleanor again and asked about this question.
"She told me that she did not live in the burned-down village. Following her guidance, I looked at the village where she lived from afar.
"There is a small village there, and some villagers can be seen moving around.
"But, I swear, there was no village there before!"
When he said this, Brad could no longer hide his nervousness.
He took a deep breath and continued: "Mr. Wizard, what should I do now?"
Odysseus thought for a moment before asking, "What is your belief?"
"Goddess of the Night."
"Then go to St. Samuel Church and tell the priest there through confession." Odysseus said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have encountered some abnormal events."
This is the responsibility of the Orthodox Church, and he has no intention of competing with the Orthodox Church for business.
Brad said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but...but when I think of the beautiful Miss Eleanor, I feel that it would be a pity if her reputation was affected because of my misjudgment.
"So I hope you can help me check and determine whether to report it to the Orthodox Church."
Odysseus understood what the other party meant. In general, he was still lustful and wanted to make a final struggle, so he asked professionals to investigate Miss Eleanor. If it was just to confirm that she was weird but not dangerous, he would not tell the church.
Such professionals are not easy to find, and after Brad made inquiries from many sources, he found Odysseus.
Odysseus was about to refuse, but thought again, it would be a waste not to make money from such a person: "Your description is very interesting. I can help you make a judgment, but you have to go to the site to take a look."
There definitely sounds like something fishy about that Miss Eleanor. No matter what he finds out there, Odysseus plans to inform the Mechanical Heart of the results of his investigation after returning.
Brad smiled and said, "That's great."
He paused and said, "I plan to go to the manor today. How about we go together in a carriage?"
Odysseus thought about it for a while before nodding: "Okay, you guys go wait for me in the carriage, I'll get ready."
"We may have to stay there overnight." Brad said, "Please prepare accordingly."
Odysseus said "hmm".
After Brad left with his valet, Odysseus took some powders used in witchcraft, and then sorted out the extraordinary weapons and sealed objects in the "Space Array" so that he could take them at the critical moment.
After packing up everything, Odysseus hung an "Out" sign outside the door and got into Brad's carriage.
The coachman pulled the reins, and the luxurious and spacious carriage drove towards the western suburbs.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In the carriage, Brad was somewhat nervous facing the wizard, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Wizard, please do not hurt Miss Eleanor before the investigation comes to a conclusion."
Odysseus thought: These rich people really like to seek excitement, or has this guy been bewitched by that Eleanor with some ability?
He agreed casually: "Okay."
Then Odysseus asked: "Do you know how the Frank family declined?"
"I heard that the king no longer trusted them." Brad said, "At the same time, the heir of that family did not catch up with the trend of the times and did not complete some emerging investments when there was still a certain amount of assets.
"Later, the family could only rely on the income from the land to support themselves. After several generations of squandering, they finally started selling their assets and completely declined 20 to 30 years ago."
Odysseus nodded: "It would be better if I find someone to ask."
"Who?" Brad was slightly stunned: "Do you want the carriage to go somewhere else first?"
"No need." Odysseus smiled mysteriously: "I can ask here, but I need your help."
Brad was stunned: "My help?"
"You keep imagining what Miss Eleanor looks like and how she makes you feel." Odysseus stretched out his left hand: "Put your hand in mine. Okay, start imagining."
Brad was both curious and frightened about Gandalf's "witchcraft". He slowly reached out and placed his hand in Gandalf's palm. Fortunately, the wizard's hand was warm, not cold.
Gandalf muttered a few spells, and suddenly his temperament changed, becoming gloomy and terrifying!
Brad's valet moved aside, and he suddenly wanted to resign!
Suddenly, "Gandalf" grabbed Brad's hand and squeezed it hard. Brad tried to pull it back, but it was as if he was caught by a huge pair of pliers. He used all his strength but couldn't pull it back even a little bit.
At the same time, a green will-o'-the-wisp appeared in the other hand of the wizard Gandalf. This will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have no temperature, making Brad feel a chill on the back of his head. In fear, he even forgot to struggle.
Brad's valet had already moved to the car door, ready to jump out at any time.
After the will-o'-the-wisp burned for more than ten seconds, Gandalf seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. When the will-o'-the-wisp went out, he slowly let go of Brad's hand.
Then, "Gandalf's" temperament became peaceful again.
This was of course another performance. He had been making ghost lights a lot during this period and had gained a lot of experience.
Odysseus looked at Brad and said, "I just summoned the undead of the Frank family..."
Brad rubbed his hands and was a little surprised: "Huh?"
Odysseus smiled and said, "Through Miss Eleanor in your mind, you can summon the corresponding undead."
Brad quickly said: "You are really a powerful wizard."
His valet also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the horrified expression on the wizard Gandalf's face just now, this was not something that was too difficult to accept.
Odysseus waved his hand and continued, "The Frank family was abandoned by the royal family and nobles because of their close relationship with some evil Beyonders."
He believed that the Lord Rick in front of him should know what an extraordinary person is.
Odysseus mainly hopes to use the performance just now to make Brad believe his words, because this is an accurate information obtained by "Nanmu Ballroom" a long time ago.
This news surprised Brad a little, and his last bit of hope was probably shattered.
Odysseus added: "From now on, you must obey my orders. This way I can at least guarantee your safety."
This was another purpose for the play he had just performed.
(End of this chapterChapter 150: A Village of Tombs
Chapter 150: A Village of Tombs
Lord Brad Kerry's manor was located next to the Balkis Mountains in the west of Backlund. The main building was a tall castle built on a small hill.
Hundreds of years ago, nobles had the habit of building castles in the wilderness. Some of them did so because the nobles' castle was the only decent building in the entire fiefdom, and it looked as if the castle was built in the wilderness.
Some were built for hunting or holding banquets.
The castle that Brad bought was originally used for hunting and banquets, because the Frank family was quite wealthy at that time.
When we arrived at the main gate of the castle, the steward of the manor led the servants to greet us.
Brad got off the carriage and introduced Odysseus to everyone, saying that this was a friend of his who came to help him find out some things and asked everyone to cooperate.
When entering the castle, it is not as damp and dark as imagined. Obviously, it has undergone a lot of renovation. There are huge gas lamps to illuminate the originally dim interior of the castle, and the floor and wall tiles have also been treated with moisture-proof treatment.
Although it has the appearance of a castle, the interior decoration is no different from that of a modern house.
Because it was already past noon, Brad invited Odysseus to have lunch first.
While drinking tea and chatting after lunch, Brad began to look out at the lakeshore constantly, which made Odysseus feel more and more that Brad must have been bewitched or influenced in some way.
This is also the reason why he was unwilling to report what happened here to the Orthodox Church, because he knew that doing so would hurt Miss Eleanor, and the impact on him would make him reluctant to do anything that would hurt Miss Eleanor.
But his desire to survive made him think that he should start some investigation, so he found Odysseus, a wizard who had just arrived in Backlund and had gained some fame.
As his thoughts raced, Odysseus said to Brad, "Find someone to take me around, and don't worry about me. Just do what you need to do."
"Okay, okay." Brad immediately called the head butler in the manor and asked him to take Odysseus around.
Then Brad headed to the lakeshore somewhat anxiously to meet Miss Eleanor.
While drinking tea, Odysseus asked the head butler, "Do you know where the village where the descendants of the Frank family once lived but was destroyed by a fire twenty years ago is?"
The head butler nodded. "I know. I was the one who investigated there before. I asked many people and it took me most of the day to find it."
Odysseus said, "Hmm," and said, "Take me there to have a look."
The head male servant asked, "Can you ride a horse?"
Odysseus nodded: "I've learned it before."
The original owner had memories of horse riding skills. At that time, he was the son of a small farmer, and horses were the most common means of transportation on the farm.
So the wizard, holding his staff in one hand and the reins in the other, rode behind the head butler.
As soon as he left the castle, Odysseus saw Brad walking and talking with a woman on the lakeside from afar.
Odysseus did not rush over to alert the enemy. Instead, he planned to go and take a look at the village that was destroyed twenty years ago.
The manor was surrounded by mountain paths with trees on both sides, so it was soon impossible to see what was happening on Brad's side. However, they had talked about it many times before, so they believed that nothing unexpected would happen for a while.
After walking along the mountain road for about an hour and circling the mountain behind the castle, we finally arrived at the ruins of the village.
This place is covered with vegetation and looks like an ordinary wilderness.
Only a few dark walls stood there, showing that someone had once lived here.
Odysseus looked around and asked, "Where have all the villagers gone?"
Theoretically, there should be survivors. After all, this is a village, not a cage or a prison. Someone will definitely be able to escape from the fire.
The head butler replied, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Odysseus asked again: "You didn't ask."
The head male servant laughed bitterly and said, "I asked around and someone said that everyone here was burned to death."
Odysseus smiled and said, "At least Miss Eleanor was not burned to death, nor was she burned, right?"
The head butler did not answer. Odysseus looked back and saw that the other person had a strange expression on his face, as if he had something to say but did not dare to.
Odysseus didn't take it too seriously. After all, in the servants' view, this was the lord's business and they should avoid discussing it if possible.
He asked again: "Where is the village where Miss Eleanor lives now?"
"On the top of the mountain over there." The head butler pointed in a direction.
Odysseus took a look and saw that there did seem to be a few houses on the mountain.
He asked again: "Have you been there?"
"No." The head butler said, "The Lord once ordered me to deliver something to that village, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't enter the village."
"Can't enter?" Odysseus was a little surprised.
He has always been the one playing tricks to deceive others, and this is the first time he has encountered someone playing tricks.
"Yes." The head butler said affirmatively: "From a distance, we can indeed see the village, but we can't get close to it."
Odysseus nodded: "Wait here for a while, I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he sprinkled a handful of "flying powder", took a few quick steps, and flew into the air.
Amid the chief butler's exclamation, Odysseus rushed from the treetops to the top of the mountain.
When the "flying technique" was about to end, Odysseus sprinkled a handful of "flying powder" and continued to fly forward.
Maybe because he was flying and did not pass through the dense forest, he did not get lost and reached the top of the mountain after two "flights".
After landing on the ground, Odysseus' spirit immediately felt that there was a very evil force spreading here.
And this is not a village at all, but a cemetery!
Everywhere you look, there are graves of all sizes, new and old, some with tombstones and some without.
All the graves were clean, without any weeds or even a rock around them.
There is an open space in the middle of the cemetery with several thatched huts on it, which do look a bit like residential houses from a distance.
In the middle of the straw hut is an altar divided into three levels, with a strange symbol painted in the center of the altar.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Odysseus did not dare to look closely at the symbol, but he was sure that it was not the symbol representing the Orthodox Church.
Odysseus did not make a more detailed observation. His spiritual sense felt that the atmosphere here was very strange and it would be dangerous to stay here for too long.
So Odysseus used the "flying technique" to leave here. As he flew down the mountain, he thought: What is happening here has far exceeded my original expectations, and I must report it to the church immediately.
Originally, Odysseus thought that Eleanor might be an evil spirit in a strange state, but now it seems that the other party's state is definitely not as simple as an evil spirit. Odysseus suddenly lost his certainty.
After flying down the mountain, Odysseus said to the male servant: "I have looked, there is no village there."
The male servant was slightly stunned: "What's there?"
"Nothing." Odysseus smiled and said, "Maybe I haven't found the village either."
The head butler was stunned again. He clearly saw the wizard landing in the village.
"Let's go back." Odysseus smiled and said without waiting for the other party to continue asking questions: "It seems that I overthink it. There is no problem here."
When they were about to return to the manor, Odysseus suddenly said that he wanted to ride around on horseback. As the lord's guest, the head butler certainly would not stop him.
Odysseus moved forward slowly at first, but when he left the castle, he started to gallop at full speed.
He was not trying to escape, but to inform the "Mechanical Heart" as soon as possible.
On the way here, Odysseus noticed that there was a small town about seven or eight kilometers away from the manor. When he arrived at the town, he found the telegraph office.
So he quickly sent an urgent message to the "Mechanical Heart", asking them to notify the "Nightwatchers" and send people to support them as soon as possible.
The reason why the Night Watchers were notified was because Brad was a believer of the Church of the Goddess of Night. According to the official practice of Extraordinary People, the Night Watchers should actually be responsible for this case.
It's just that Odysseus has already joined the case, so the "Mechanical Heart" also has the opportunity to participate in the investigation.
After sending the telegram, Odysseus rode back slowly. Although it was a little dangerous to go back, if he left suddenly it would arouse the other party's suspicion. It was very likely that when the official Beyonder arrived, Miss Eleanor would have already disappeared.
However, in order to deal with possible dangers, Odysseus took a cloth bag from the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and put several extraordinary weapons in it.
So Odysseus returned to the castle with his staff in his hand and a backpack on his back. He asked the butler where the residence he had arranged for him was. He put the backpack into the residence in advance to avoid being seen by Brad.
It was already past four in the afternoon. Odysseus estimated that the "Mechanical Heart" should be dispatching personnel and contacting the "Nightwatchers" at this time, and they should be able to set off after five o'clock.
So it would take at least seven o'clock in the evening to get here.
As long as I can handle dinner later, I should have no problem making it until seven o'clock.
Odysseus sat in the room prepared for himself, staring at the beautiful evening scene outside in a daze.
The scenery here is really nice. Under the setting sun, the surface of the lake is also dyed the color of the sunset. A breeze blows by, as if the sunset is rising and falling.
While he was enjoying the beautiful scenery, the butler came to invite him to dinner.
Odysseus came to the lobby on the first floor and saw Brad and a young lady already seated.
The young lady was very beautiful, and even Odysseus felt that her appearance met all his aesthetic standards, especially her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. When Odysseus was looked at, he felt his heartbeat quicken.
"Mr. Wizard, let me introduce you. This is Miss Eleanor whom I told you about." Brad stood up and said enthusiastically.
Odysseus nodded slowly: "Hello."
Eleanor smiled and said, "I know this wizard. He came to my house in the afternoon and took a look at the altar I set up."
