 Chapter 117 Everyone is investigating Odysseus

  Since Inspiration has issued a warning, Odysseus no longer thinks about this problem.

  He glanced at the short diary again and realized that this should be very important information, so he put the two pages of the diary away and thought about this problem again when he arrived at the "Wild Knowledge".

  Then Odysseus took out the metal box he had just received and studied it for a while but couldn't figure out how to open it.

  Of course, he couldn't discuss this matter with Bernadette. What if after the box was opened, she said that it was something her father left for her, should she give it to him or not?

  If he gave it to her, the 50 pounds would be wasted.

  If he didn't give it to her, he would probably get beaten.

  Thinking of this, Odysseus smiled somewhat helplessly, put the box away, and returned to the pharmacy later to put it together in the "Wild Knowledge".

  ...

  No. 199 Hairun Avenue.

  "Hound", who also attended the party, came out of the party venue.

  When he was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly saw someone waving at him across the street.

  The man was known to the Hound. He was Claymond Donahue from the Operations Department of MI9.

  He was in his thirties, with short hair and a high Adam's apple, as if an egg was stuck in his throat.

  The Hound quickly crossed the road and smiled, "Claymond, why are you here?"

  "I'll give you a clue about Lelouch." Claymond's Adam's apple moved as he spoke, "I heard that you are currently in charge of finding information about Lelouch, which is a tough job."

  In terms of rank, Claymond and the Hound were at the same level, but the Hound was not from the Operations Department. The two knew each other but were not familiar with each other.

  "Thank you for helping me keep an eye on the information about Lelouch," the Hound smiled and said, "If it is verified to be true, I will report the source of the information truthfully."

  This means that if there is a credit, you will also have a share, but if it is not true, there will be nothing.

  In a department like MI9, there are not many kind people. Claymond's so-called clue provision may be for some purpose.

  "It doesn't matter whether it's a credit or not." Clermond smiled and continued: "Have you ever thought that Lelouch is the 'leader'?"

  "Hound" pretended to be a little surprised: "Ah?"

  Of course he thought about it, after all, there are some similarities between the two, but then he thought that the "leader" is a member of the "Mechanical Heart", and the "Mechanical Heart" will not let the "leader" kill the nobles of the Kingdom of Loen.

  The key is that there is no strong evidence, so the arrest cannot be made.

  "You didn't miss such an obvious clue, did you?" Clermond smiled: "Lelouch and the 'leader' both wore masks and used powerful extraordinary weapons."

  "This is indeed a clue." "Hound" smiled and did not deny the so-called clue of the other party: "But there is a question, if the 'leader' is Lelouch, where did he buy those extraordinary weapons in the shape of javelins? It can't be provided by the 'Mechanical Heart', right?

  "If it can be proved that the weapons of the 'leader' and Lelouch come from the same source, we can say hello to the 'Mechanical Heart' and then capture the 'leader'. "

  Both MI9 and the Mandated Punisher had intended to start with weapons to find Lelouch.

  However, they used their intelligence network to ask around, but could not find out where the extraordinary weapon used by Lelouch came from. Lelouch

  's weapon has distinct characteristics. Ordinary extraordinary weapons are rarely made into disposable items, and are rarely made in such large quantities.

  From these two directions, it should be easy to find the source.

  But this clue is broken here, because no one has made such a weapon.

  What is certain is that the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery has always been very interested in extraordinary machine guns and extraordinary cannons, and has never produced extraordinary weapons such as javelins.

  The key is that in all the actions of the "Mechanical Heart", extraordinary weapons such as javelins have never been used. If they use this as a clue to investigate, they will It will definitely be completely denied.

  Some people also suggested that those extraordinary weapons were made by Lelouch himself, but these ideas were quickly denied because the manufacture of extraordinary weapons has always been the patent of Sequence 6 "craftsmen" of the "General Path".

  Lelouch is only Sequence 8, and he is not on the "General Path".

  In the eyes of the official Beyonders, a "low-sequence" does not have such an ability. In

  addition, if the "leader" was an ordinary person, he could be arrested and interrogated to see if there are any clues.

  But he is a member of the "Mechanical Heart". If you want to arrest someone, you have to give a decent reason. You can't tell the "Mechanical Heart" that because Lelouch and the "leader" like to wear masks, just arrest them for interrogation, right?

  Coremond smiled and said, "I will find evidence. I have applied for a search warrant. I am here to search No. 199 Hairun Avenue today. "

  He believed that this was an important base of the "Chief" and there must be some clues left here.

  The Operations Department of MI9 never needed a search warrant to search any place, but the case of the "Chief" was indeed special.

  Coreymond applied for a search warrant very cautiously to prove that it was MI9 that was searching, not his personal behavior.

  "The Hound" said: "I'll wait here. If you find evidence, I'll go with you to apply for the arrest of the 'Chief.' "

  In his opinion, Coreymond's search was purely a personal revenge. After all, the captain's brother was killed by the "leader" in the Kapin case.

  Coreymond sneered and led his men into No. 199 Hairun Avenue.

  He originally thought that the waiter here would definitely stop his search, but the waiter did not stop him at all. He just asked the other party's department and said that he would claim compensation for the damage.

  Coreymond and his subordinates did not take it seriously. They searched as roughly as before.

  But they finished the search soon, because there was no one living here, and there was not even any furniture with hidden space such as wardrobes, and several rooms were even empty.     There were only a lot of chairs in the living room where the party was held. They turned the chairs over one by one and carefully checked the backs and the bottoms of the chairs, but they found no clues.

  As for the basement, which had given Coreymond great hope, there were no extraordinary characteristics, no spiritual fluctuations, nothing.

  He was now a little puzzled as to how the "leader" had left the basement.

  They even knocked a hole in one wall, and even the ground, and smashed several holes, but there was no secret room, no secret passage, and no extraordinary mechanism.

  After searching until the afternoon, Coreymond had to accept the fact that he had found nothing here.

  He was about to lead people away, but the waiter handed him a bill and asked for a claim of 50 pounds.

  Coreymond had been searching for so many years, and this was the first time he encountered someone asking for a claim, so of course he ignored it.

  The waiter said, "Then let's let the 'leader' send the bill to your department."

  These were the things that the leader had told them to do. If they encountered an official search, they should not stop it, and just claim more money.

  If the other party wanted to refuse to pay, they could say that the "leader" would send the bill to their unit.

  Coreymond frowned. If the "leader" really went to deliver the bill, it would be difficult to deal with.

  After all, almost everyone in MI9 knew that the "leader" had just helped them escort the informant, but he turned around and searched the "leader's" gathering place, causing considerable losses to the "leader". They came to the door.

  Of course, the key is that nothing was found, and Coreymond couldn't report to Danesi.

  After hesitating for a while, Coreymond took out his wallet and gave five 10-pound notes to the waiter.

  As soon as they went out, the "hounds" surrounded them and asked: "You have searched for so long, you must have gained a lot, right?"

  Coreymond snorted coldly and led his men away quickly.

  The "hound" said behind them: "You didn't read the report I provided before?"

  He had searched for two days at No. 199 Hairun Avenue, but didn't find any clues about the "leader".

  Until now, how the "leader" left No. 199 is still a mystery.

  Of course, Coremond had read the materials and thought that Hound, an intelligence officer, was not professional enough to carry out the search mission, so he brought an expert in extraordinary institutions with him, but still found nothing.

  He watched Hound ride away in a carriage and suddenly realized that it would not work to investigate the "leader" in a normal way.

  ...

  The carriage that Odysseus was riding in soon arrived at the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute.

  Today, Max was on vacation, and the receptionist of the research institute directly invited Odysseus to the office of Ikanser Bernard, the senior deacon and the captain of Backlund's "Mechanical Heart".

  Captain Ikanser's hair was still fluffy and messy. He asked, "What clues can you provide us?"

  Odysseus first glanced at the corner of the office. His spirituality always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. Then he said, "I learned at today's party that someone seemed to be investigating the 'Nighthawks'..."

  He told Ikanser everything he had learned and his speculation.

  The captain nodded slowly: "This is very important information. I will inform the Nightwatcher immediately. As for your reward, we will discuss it first and then send someone to deliver it to you."

  "Okay." Odysseus said: "In addition, on Saturday, it seems that there was an extraordinary battle on Rice Street..."

  He briefly talked about the information about the galaxy, but did not say his own guess, only saying that it seemed to be a magical extraordinary ability.

  Ikanser also took it seriously and said that he would send someone to check it immediately.

  After sending Odysse away, Ikanser suddenly stood up and said to the corner of the wall: "Odysseus doesn't seem to have any abnormalities."

  The corner of the wall that Odysseus had just glanced at suddenly appeared an old man in a white priest robe. It was Privy Bishop Horamick Haydon.

  "He really doesn't seem to have any problems." Horamick sighed and said: "It would be great if he didn't have any problems."

  It's rare to meet such a sharp intelligence officer.

  Ikanser asked, "What about the information he provided..."

  "Deal with it as you should." Horamick said, "His analysis just now is very logical, there shouldn't be any problem."

  Ikanser asked his subordinates to send a telegram to the "Nighthawks" team to remind them.

  However, what Ikanser didn't expect was that Creste Cesimma, one of the three giants of the "Red Gloves" of the Church of the Goddess of Evernight, came to visit in person.

  ...

  After Odysseus returned to the herbal medicine shop, he took a short rest and prepared to take the initiative to play the role of "wizard".

  　Thanks to [Ten Years of Life and Death! ] for the reward.

  　　Thanks to [Why are all the names taken?] for the reward., Chapter 118 Trying to Play the "Wizard"

  In the evening, Viscount Wade, who had been working all day, took a carriage back to the mansion from his mistress Miss Lisa.

  The viscount, who was in his fifties, had a sallow complexion, sunken eye sockets, and looked a little exhausted.

  When the carriage entered Queen's Road, he accidentally saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the road wearing a loose wizard robe, a pointed hat, a long nose, a long beard, and a wooden staff.

  Viscount Wade thought that this person looked very similar to the wizard in his impression, so he took a closer look at him.

  At this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "You have been unlucky recently."

  Viscount Wade was startled: "Who?"

  The bodyguard sitting opposite the viscount was also startled: "What?"

  Viscount Wade took a deep breath: "Didn't you hear the voice just now?"

  The bodyguard was a little confused: "No."

  "It's okay, it's okay." Viscount Wade thought he was a little dazed and heard it wrong.

  But at this moment, he saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the road. He was wearing a loose wizard robe, a pointed hat, a long nose, a long beard, and a wooden staff.

  Viscount Wade rubbed his eyes. Whether it was the clothes, appearance, or demeanor, he was exactly the same as the wizard just now.

  At the same time, he remembered the voice just now again: "The river of your destiny is very chaotic, and a huge disaster is about to befall."

  Viscount Wade's hands trembled. This time he was sure that it was not his hallucination, but someone was really talking to him. Judging from the expression of the bodyguard, he still didn't hear: "Stop, stop quickly."

  He suddenly realized that it was probably the wizard just now who was talking to him in a magical way.

  The window of the carriage behind opened, and Beavis said coldly to the wizard on the street: "If you follow us again, I will not be polite."

  His spiritual ability could sense that it was an extraordinary person, and the other party seemed to have used extraordinary abilities just now.

  Because Beavis did not feel the danger, and the employer did not give an order to attack, he was just warning.

  The wizard on the street was, of course, Odysseus.

  After returning to the herbal medicine shop, he took a break first, and then asked Kena and several customers who came to buy medicine what they thought wizards looked like.

  Based on everyone's opinions, Odysseus summed up three characteristics: long beard, staff, pointed hat and loose wizard robe.

  So Odysseus designed his own wizard image, with a long beard that covered half of his face, and used props to lengthen his nose bridge. After a little eyeliner, Odysseus's demeanor became a little sinister, which was a huge difference from the temperament of the herbal medicine shop owner. What

  Viscount Wade heard just now, someone talking in his ear, was actually Odysseus talking to him using the "whispering technique" he invented.

  This witchcraft looks magical, but the principle is actually very simple. It is a witchcraft of the dead, which can directly speak to the spirits of others.

  In addition to speaking in a hidden way so that others will not hear it, this witchcraft cannot harm the other party's soul, nor can it form a certain spiritual guidance, and has no other effect.

  But it can be used to play tricks.

  Odysseus ignored Beavis and said to the carriage in front of Viscount Wade: "The guidance of fate brought me here, Salsi Wade! The son of Antonio! The glory of the ancestors..."

  Beavis had already got off the carriage at this time: "Catch him!"

  "Wait." Viscount Wade was sure that this was the voice that spoke in his ear just now. He opened the window and said: "Let him finish speaking."

  Odysseus's "whispering technique" just now had made Viscount Wade think that he had met a real wizard.

  It was indeed a real "wizard", but the wizard in Viscount Wade's concept was not the same as the "wizard" in the extraordinary world.

  In the legend, wizards are mysterious and powerful. They always hide in dark villages or deep mountains and dense forests, refining some potions with strange effects. It is said that they can even refine immortality drugs.

  They seem to have a certain insight into fate and can always predict the fate of some people and things.

  In addition, few people know the names of nobles, but the wizard in front of him said the name of old Viscount Wade who has been dead for about ten years.

  This made Viscount Wade more convinced that the wizard in front of him had the ability of divination or prophecy.

  The extraordinary bodyguard Beavis immediately said: "Mr. Viscount, please don't be bewitched by his words..."

  "Let him finish!" Viscount Wade said again weakly.

  What happened today made him somewhat dissatisfied with Beavis. He neither noticed that someone had given him a laxative, nor could he find the murderer who gave him the laxative.

  Beavis had no choice but to step back two steps and make way for Odysseus.

  Odysseus continued: "The glory of the ancestors of the Wade family will most likely show signs of decline in the near future."

  Viscount Wade hurriedly asked: "Is there any way to solve it?"

  "Yes." Odysseus said: "There are impurities in your destiny river. As long as you find the source of the impurities, you can solve it."

  "How to find it?"

  "Look for it at your home."

  Viscount Wade said a little out of breath: "Please get in the car."     "No need." Odysseus said calmly, "You go first, I'll follow."

  Viscount Wade nodded, and while letting the carriage move forward, he continued to observe the wizard.

  When the carriage was getting farther and farther away from Odysseus, he raised his staff, as if he was chanting a spell, and then seemed to sprinkle some powder.

  Then a magical scene happened. The wizard stepped forward, and suddenly stepped into the air very freely, flying forward, and soon caught up with Viscount Wade's carriage.

  As Odysseus analyzed, Viscount Wade was a very superstitious person. After seeing Odysseus's "performance", he almost got off the car to worship.

  The bodyguards also showed surprised expressions one by one, and only Beavis sneered: "Little trick."

  When Viscount Wade's carriage entered the yard of his luxurious villa on Queen's Road, the bodyguards, servants, gardeners, etc. inside were stunned.

  Someone actually flew in with Viscount Wade's carriage!

  When the carriage stopped, the man flying in the air landed steadily.

  With the help of his bodyguard, Viscount Wade got out of the car and smiled, "Mr. Wizard, please come in."

  Odysseus said "hmm" in a grand manner, stepped forward and walked in front.

  As soon as he entered the door, he nodded slightly to a noble lady who came out and said, "Hello, Viscountess!"

  As he spoke, Odysseus, who had rich intelligence, did not wait for the noble lady to react, and walked towards the living room.

  And the direction he went was exactly the direction of the Viscount's living room. After sitting down on the sofa, he waited for Viscount Wade and his wife behind him.

  This performance once again surprised Viscount Wade. It was not too surprising that this wizard could recognize his wife without anyone introducing him. After all, this could probably be seen from his wife's clothes.

  But the other party's confident demeanor, as if he had been to his own house, made Viscount Wade really wonder, how did he do it?

  In fact, this should be thanked to the advanced intelligence system established by Odysseus. He had the floor plan of Viscount Wade's house. Where was the living room? Where is the bedroom? Even where is the bathroom? He knows it all clearly.

  In the entire intelligence organization of Loen, except for MI9, which has such an advanced intelligence system, other intelligence organizations at most have a text description of the structure and purpose of the house.

  When Viscount Wade also sat next to him, Odysseus was still in no hurry to talk about the topic, but said to the viscount who looked very weak: "Your condition is still very serious, and you need to recuperate for at least two or three days."

  Viscount Wade's personal doctor had treated him for a day, but the impact of severe dehydration on his body still made him miserable.

  Viscount Wade obviously didn't know the "pharmacist", otherwise the "pharmacist" would only need a dose of herbal medicine for him to recover as usual.

  Hearing what Odysseus said, Viscount Wade was a little excited: "Do you know my condition?"

  Odysseus thought: Nonsense, I gave the medicine, of course I know.

  He did not answer Viscount Wade's question, but said: "Let someone go to the kitchen to get a small bowl of black sesame seeds."

  Viscount Wade knew that the wizard would use his witchcraft to treat him, so he quickly asked the butler to get sesame seeds.

  Soon, the butler brought the sesame seeds.

  Odysseus stood up and sprinkled a handful of green powder on his staff. The staff made of dead wood actually sprouted new branches and leaves.

  This shocked everyone in the room. Some servants rubbed their eyes, and some could not believe what they saw.

  Odysseus looked like a charlatan, muttering something, waving his loose sleeves, and stroking the branches and leaves, as if to help them grow.

  The branches and leaves quickly grew longer, and flowers bloomed. In a few seconds, a peach was produced.

  This operation surprised the knowledgeable Beavis, because this was another witchcraft invented by Odysseus himself, and Beavis had never seen it before.

  Odysseus picked the peach, and the peach flesh immediately became illusory, turning into pieces of peach blossoms and disappearing. Only a peach pit was left in his hand.

  Then Odysseus pinched the peach pit, and inside was a plump peach kernel.

  At this time, the peach branch on his staff also quickly became illusory and finally disappeared.

  Before everyone came to their senses, Odysseus put down his staff, grabbed some sesame seeds from the bowl held by the butler, put them together with peach kernels, and squeezed them with his hands to form a ball of sesame seeds and peach kernels.

  Finally, he handed it to Viscount Wade: "Eat it."

  Viscount Wade, who was given a laxative this morning because of his random eating, was somewhat resistant.

  But thinking of the magical deeds performed by this wizard, he finally took the ball, chewed it briefly and swallowed it.

  A few seconds later, Viscount Wade felt that his limbs had strength again. Although he had not fully recovered, he no longer needed support to walk.

  This was actually a folk remedy that Odysseus mastered after his promotion, which could effectively relieve the symptoms caused by dehydration.

  At this time, Viscount Wade had no more doubts. He stood up and held Odysseus' hand: "Mr. Wizard, please help me! I have been so unlucky recently."

  　This cold was so painful that the author had a fever for three and a half days. I remember that when I had a fever two years ago, I only had a fever for one night.

  　　Although I took ibuprofen in those days and the fever was temporarily reduced, I was weak all over. I could only write 500 words and rest for 20 minutes, then write another 500 words, and so on.

  　　Fortunately, my condition has recovered a lot today. Although I still cough a lot and get tired easily, I can already write 1500 words and then take a break.

  　　What makes the author more fortunate is that there is no interruption, or the update is less than 6000 words.,Chapter 119: Odysseus's Charlatan Operation

  Before Odysseus crossed over, when he was in college, he once talked to his roommate about interesting stories such as Wong Tai Sin.

  At that time, he keenly realized that the most critical step in feudal superstitious activities is to gain the trust of the target.

  As long as the target believes in the ignorant and superstitious logic, no matter what you say, the other party will believe it.

  At least they believed it at that time.

  So Odysseus focused on designing his own appearance, making Viscount Wade... Not only Viscount Wade, but also the people around him believed that he was a real wizard. Even Sequence 6 Beavis felt that the "wizard" in front of him was very capable.

  This made Odysseus feel that his spirituality was very lively, and even the potion loosened up.

  He realized that his role-playing direction was correct. Except for the wizard like old man Gandalf who had a few skills that were biased, wizards should be mysterious and wise, and understand the existence of various kinds of witchcraft.

  Odysseus waved his hand at Viscount Wade: "Since I appear on your path, it is fate that I am here to help you."

  He leaned on his staff and looked around the living room in a pretentious manner, then said to Viscount Wade: "Just as I expected, there is an evil being watching here, bringing you bad luck."

  Beavis frowned. Why didn't he feel any evil watching?

  Viscount Wade asked quickly: "What should I do?"

  "Don't worry, let me take another look." Odysseus looked at the roof as if he was looking into the distance. After a while, he said: "This evil being comes from the underworld and is the lord of an area there.

  "His watching is very secretive, it seems... it seems to be using the spirit of someone living in this house as a cover. "

  Beavis was a little confused. He knew about the underworld and the lords, but didn't he know that he could use human spirits to conceal his gaze?

  After hearing what Odysseus said, Viscount Wade's eyes on the people around him suddenly changed, and he felt that everyone was suspicious.

  Finally, he asked Odysseus: "Do you want to replace all the servants?"

  When the servants in the living room heard the Viscount's words, many of them showed confused and reluctant expressions.

  Although this family has a bad temper, everyone still cherishes such a stable job.

  Fortunately, Odysseus said: "No, we just need to find that person and exorcise him.

  "Besides, that person should be your family member, otherwise it will not affect your family's fortune."

  Many servants breathed a sigh of relief.

  Viscount Wade immediately said, "I'll call my family here."

  "Not calling them here, but I'm going to look for them in their rooms." Odysseus said, "That person's room is often connected to the underworld, and I can definitely find some clues in the room."

  He paused and said, "I need you, as the owner of this house, to help me find it, but if you go by yourself, it will be easy for that evil being to shift his attention to you, so you can't go."

  Viscount Wade was slightly stunned: "Sorry, I didn't quite understand. If I can't go by myself, how can I go with you to find it?"

  Odysseus said lightly, "I'll take your soul with me."

  Viscount Wade was a little nervous: "I... I don't have the ability to leave my body."

  As a noble, he certainly knew about the existence of the Extraordinary, so he believed in Odysseus so firmly and believed that the wizard's witchcraft and Extraordinary abilities could help him.

  But the other party's request was really difficult for him to do.

  Odysseus said, "I'll help you. Don't worry, you won't be in any danger."

  Upon hearing this, Viscount Wade immediately smiled and said, "You are indeed a powerful wizard!"

  Beavis was about to step forward to dissuade him, because extraordinary operations involving spirits are generally dangerous, but he hesitated for a moment and finally chose to watch, intending to dissuade him when he found danger.

  Odysseus began to instruct the servants to move the sofa away and let Viscount Wade sit on a single sofa. Then Odysseus took out a pen and the spiritual materials that had been prepared long ago and began to draw the magic circle.

  After all this was ready, Odysseus took out a palm-sized crystal ball and placed it in a position in the magic circle.

  He explained, "Your spirit will enter this crystal ball in a while, but you can't speak, move, or hear any sound. You can only see.

  "Don't be nervous. I'll send you back after we find the clues."

  Viscount Wade had no such experience and was indeed a little nervous: "Okay, okay. "

  Finally, Odysseus opened a small medicine bottle and placed it in front of Viscount Wade's nose, letting him smell it.

  Viscount Wade immediately fell slowly on the sofa, as if he had fallen asleep.

  Odysseus began to chant the spell in a deep and solemn tone. If there were "fellow villagers" present at this time, they would be surprised to find that he was chanting in an unclear way: "I slept through spring and did not know the dawn, and heard birds singing everywhere... I looked up at the bright moon and lowered my head to think of my hometown... Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer eyes..."

  These spells were of course ineffective. The most crucial thing was that Odysseus injected spirituality into the magic circle and activated it.

  However, in order to appear more ceremonial, he had to pretend and perform it first.     Actually, what Odysseus said just now about sending Viscount Vader's soul into the crystal ball was also a trick. Attaching a spirit to an object is a very advanced Beyonder ability, and Odysse's magic circle cannot do this at present.

  The magic circle he drew is actually a "sight extension magic circle", which can establish a close connection between oneself or someone else's sight and a certain object.

  As long as you are within 50 meters around the magic circle, you can use that object to quietly observe the situation in the distance, or cleverly cross obstacles to observe.

  After Odysse used drugs to put Viscount Vader in a half-asleep and half-awake state, his body could not move or speak, and only his vision followed Odysseus away, so Viscount Vader felt that his spirit was attached to the crystal ball and followed Odysseus away.

  After the performance was almost over, Odysseus injected spirituality into the magic circle, and Viscount Vader's sight appeared on the crystal ball.

  Viscount Vader, who was half asleep and half awake, thought that his spirit had left his body, and he suddenly became nervous, and his muscles were very stiff.

  This time, the sky darkened, and the servant turned on the gas lamp. Under the light, the magic circle drawn with mystical symbols, Viscount Wade lying stiffly on the sofa, and the smell of medicine in the air made the scene look very strange.

  Seeing that the magic circle was working normally, Odysseus picked up the crystal ball and said to the people around him: "You stay here to guard Mr. Viscount."

  Beavis nodded. He used "spiritual vision" to see that Viscount Wade's spirit was still in his body. He wanted to see how this wizard would end up after Viscount Wade woke up.

  The others didn't know this, and everyone agreed together: "Yes."

  Many servants swallowed their saliva quietly to hide their nervousness.

  They were very curious. Is Viscount Wade still alive now lying on the sofa?

  Odysseus brought the crystal ball and came to the bedroom door of the Wade family member without anyone's guidance.

  However, the butler followed closely behind him, firstly to avoid being rude, and secondly to avoid losing any valuables.

  In addition to Bishop's son, Viscount Wade has two sons and two daughters. One of the daughters is married, and the eldest son is also married.

  The family members living in the house were attracted to the living room by the wizard's "magic show" just now, so there is no one in the room now.

  Accompanied by the butler, Odysseus began to search room by room.

  Soon he came to the third room, which was the bedroom where Bishop once lived. Odysseus stood at the door and suddenly stopped.

  The butler asked: "Did you find anything, Mr. Wizard?"

  Odysseus did not answer, but walked in quickly, and seemed to pull out something illusory at the head of the bed.

  Huh~

  As Odysseus pulled it out, a green flame appeared in his hand, which scared the butler and made him retreat quickly.

  The flame disappeared quickly, and Odysseus said seriously: "Find the owner of this room, and he must exorcise him immediately!"

  The butler was stunned, and then smiled and said: "Sorry, Mr. Wizard, the owner of this room is dead."

  "Dead?" The murderer Odysseus asked in surprise.

  "Yes."

  "That's easy." Odysseus said, "Let's go back to the living room."

  The two returned to the living room, and the lady immediately came up to ask, "How is it? Did you find who it is?"

  Odysseus did not answer, but put the crystal ball back into the magic circle again.

  The housekeeper quickly replied, "Yes... I found it in Master Bishop's room..."

  He didn't know how to describe what he had just seen.

  "Oh, poor Bishop." The lady said a little sadly, "No wonder he died so tragically."

  Before Odysseus said anything, the lady had already started to associate.

  At this time, Odysseus disconnected Viscount Wade from the crystal ball, and then gave the Viscount a potion to wake him up.

  Soon, Viscount Wade slowly woke up: "Oh... God, the experience just now was so magical, it's hard to imagine that I actually entered such a small crystal ball."

  Beavis on the side was a little surprised: What? The Viscount's spirit entered the crystal ball?

  This was something he had never expected, as the Viscount's spirit was still in his body just now!

  At this time, Beavis fell into deep self-doubt.

  But no one noticed the surprise on Beavis's face, because everyone was very surprised at this time. Many servants made the gestures of the moon and stars on their chests, or made gestures representing storms and lightning.

  "Unbelievable, that... that will-o'-the-wisp... yes, the will-o'-the-wisp was pulled out from Bishop's pillow!" Viscount Wade said with some excitement, but then he was a little disappointed: "I didn't expect it to be Bishop."

  Odysseus said: "The problem has been found, now let's talk about how to solve this problem." Chapter 120 Find someone to talk to

  Viscount Wade, hearing that Mr. Wizard wanted to solve his problem, stood up from his chair and listened carefully to what Odysseus said.

  "Seal Bishop's room immediately!" Odysseus said, "Seal it for at least a week.

  "During this week, no one should mention or write Bishop's name, and do nothing related to Bishop.

  "Just pretend you don't know him!"

  From Viscount Wade to the servants, everyone was stunned, but then they thought that they had never encountered the so-called "evil mysterious existence" before, and had no experience in solving such things, nor did they know how to solve such things.

  And the only one who had seen some of the world, Beavis, was in deep self-doubt at this time, and did not raise any questions for a while.

  Viscount Wade was convinced: "Okay, we will seal it immediately."

  Before, Odysseus used the "sight extension array" to lead Viscount Wade's sight to find which family member's room had problems, just to let Viscount Wade deepen his trust in him.

  If Viscount Wade himself was asked to go along, it would not have such a good effect.

  As for the will-o'-the-wisp caught in Bishop's room, it was actually a modification of the "Pyromancy". Odysseus added the powder of "Green Skull Flower" to the powder needed, so the flame was green, very much like a will-o'-the-wisp.

  Then Viscount Wade asked again: "Well... Excuse me, is the search for the murderer of Bishop considered to be related to Bishop?"

  In addition, he thought that the people who set the fire last night and the people who gave the laxative this morning should be the murderer's accomplices!

  However, the "Substitute Punisher" did not seem to take this matter seriously.

  "People outside the Wade family can do this kind of thing, you can't ask about it." This is Odysseus' main purpose: "Just pretend that you don't know about it."

  At this time, Beavis asked the doubts in everyone's heart: "Why do you do this?"

  Odysseus was waiting for someone to ask questions, and he said lightly: "Because the underworld and the real world are often connected by a certain concept.

  "For example, ordinary evil spirits are supported by a special thought. In fact, it is that thought that temporarily connects the underworld and the real world, creating an environment for the evil spirits to exist in the real world.

  "Bishop's situation is a little more complicated, but as long as you don't mention him for a week, and treat him as if he never existed, the concept of connecting the two worlds will disappear, and the evil mysterious existence will not be able to watch here through the concept left by Bishop."

  Beavis was stunned, feeling that what the wizard said seemed to be very advanced extraordinary knowledge, but he also felt that something seemed to be wrong.

  Viscount Wade trusted what Odysseus said very much, and ordered to seal Bishop's room on the spot, and no one should mention this name in the next week.

  As for urging the police and the "Substituted Punisher" to find the murderer, and revenge on the hateful reporter, etc., these things will be discussed after a week.

  Odysseus said again: "The bad luck brought by that existence has not ended yet, and you must act cautiously in the near future."

  Viscount Wade quickly said: "Yes."

  After watching the servants clean up the magic circle on the floor, Odysseus said goodbye to Viscount Wade's family.

  Viscount Wade tried his best to keep him, hoping that Mr. Wizard would wait until the family had overcome the current bad luck before leaving.

  But Odysseus said that he had something very important to do and insisted on leaving.

  Viscount Wade quickly asked the butler to bring a stack of gold pounds and asked the wizard to accept it no matter what.

  Odysseus took five of them and said, "It was originally fate that arranged for me to help you, so I couldn't accept your money. But since you are sincere, I will accept a few of them as a gift from fate."

  After saying that, Odysseus walked out with a cane.

  Viscount Wade quickly chased him out: "Excuse me, what should I call you?"

  "Gandalf!" Odysseus casually said the name of the wizard.

  Viscount Wade asked again: "If I need your help, where should I find you?"

  "It depends on fate!" As he said that, Odysseus raised the "flying powder" and flew out of the villa in a blink of an eye.

  After the wizard walked away, Viscount Wade asked Beavis, "Have you heard of this name?"

  Beavis replied, "No."

  Viscount Wade asked again, "Which path of Extraordinary is he from?"

  "A bit like the Extraordinary of the 'Secret Peeper' path, but not quite." Beavis said, "He always talks about fate. It seems that he is from the 'School of Life'?"

  "He is indeed a mysterious wizard." Viscount Wade said with emotion, "It is hard to figure out."

  Beavis opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but in the end he didn't say a word.

  He also felt that this wizard named Gandalf had many secrets.

  ...

  After Odysseus "flew" out of Viscount Wade's house, he walked quickly for a distance and got on a rented carriage after making sure that no one was following him.     He took a cab to the dock area and got off. He took off his beard, wizard robe and pointed hat in an abandoned factory, and put them into the "wilderness of knowledge" together with his staff.

  After that, Odysseus wore a peaked cap with a long brim and got on a public carriage, and then took another cab.

  Reporter Mike should be safe for the next week, and he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

  At the same time, Odysseus also thought that he could send the "Comprehensive Guide" to Mike after he returned to work at the newspaper, and ask the reporter to recommend it to the publisher in the name of Lelouch.

  But that would be at least next week, and the radicals in Loen's political circles began to attack the conservatives with Bishop's case. Viscount Wade didn't have time to embarrass Mike anymore.

  Odysseus didn't go to the herbal medicine store, but went straight home.

  He asked the cab to stop on the street, got off and bought a Feyneport seafood noodle, and bought a copy of the "Loen Evening News" from the newsboy.

  Back home, he ate while reading the newspaper.

  Today's newspapers have begun to use a lot of space to publish the fighting field and Bishop's affairs, and reporters seem to have noticed that Lelouch is a key figure in the incident. A report about Lelouch has appeared in the Loen Evening News. Odysseus

  quickly finished his noodles. He glanced at the newspaper and felt that Lelouch was still a positive character.

  When he was about to get up to wash the dishes, Odysseus suddenly looked up at the living room.

  Under the illumination of gas, the house was still bright.

  But it was too quiet. The furniture was just placed there quietly, and it didn't look popular.

  Odysseus took a deep breath. When he was busy, he always wanted to take a break.

  Now that he had some time to rest, he began to feel lonely again.

  He smiled, washed the dishes, came to the desk in the bedroom and sat down, and began to review today's performance.

  But it was always difficult to calm down, so he took a piece of paper and wrote: Are you there?

  After waiting for two or three minutes, without waiting for Bernadette's reply, Odysseus picked up a book and read it.

  About half an hour later, a short sentence appeared on the book Odysseus was reading: I am here.

  Odysseus did not speak immediately, but wrote on the paper: I may be being monitored.

  "Not maybe, someone is indeed monitoring you." Bernadette's voice was heard in the air: "On the rooftop two streets away, using a seal in the shape of a telescope.

  "But with the curtain blocking the way, he can only see a vague figure, but cannot see your specific actions, nor can he hear our voices."

  Odysseus did not relax his vigilance: "Then is there any high-level attention here?"

  Bernadette paused for two or three seconds before saying: "No. "

  Odysseus trusts the judgment of the "Queen of Mystery" more. The path of the "Secret Peeper" is very spiritual. At Bernadette's level, if there is a god paying attention here, even if she doesn't know who is paying attention to it, she will definitely be able to detect it.

  Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed his previous guess.

  The God of Steam and Machinery cannot monitor him all the time. He should have left a special mark on him. When he is promoted or goes to a special place, he will attract the attention of the God of Steam and Machinery.

  This is a bit like the mark left by the Goddess of Night on Klein. It will not have any effect on Klein at ordinary times, but when Klein went to the tomb with the unique path of "Death", the Goddess of Night suddenly descended.

  Bernadette asked: "The person who is monitoring you seems to be a member of the 'Mechanical Heart' team. What trouble have you gotten into?"

  "Maybe my research has been noticed by the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery." Odysseus pretended to be unsure and said, "They may not believe that it would be my research. "

  Bernadette nodded slowly. In her opinion, as long as the people of the Steam Church were not blind, they would sooner or later notice Odysseus' research.

  Odysseus did not continue the topic: "I wrote to Aiyali a week ago, asking her to complete the transaction, but she has not shown up."

  Bernadette replied: "We have been very busy recently, and we will complete the transaction next week at the latest."

  "I just got the news that an extraordinary battle took place on Rice Street last Saturday, and it seems that the ability of the 'astrologer' appeared." Odysseus said again.

  "That was a dispute within the 'Moss Ascetic Order'. They had a dispute over something." Bernadette said: "I didn't expect them to come back so soon."

  Odysseus recalled the "Roselle Diary" he had seen before. Some members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" were suspected to have been affected by the evil god.

  So he asked: "For what reason?"

  "At the moment I am not very clear. I roughly know that some members want to snatch something from the 'Nighthawks', and some members are unwilling to take the risk. "Bernadette is also investigating this matter.

  "They actually dared to rob..." Odysseus suddenly thought: "Wait a minute, are they investigating the Nighthawks?" "

  Dongdongdong~

  Just at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door downstairs. Chapter 121: Cooperation between the Night Watchers and the Mechanical Heart

  Time goes back to half an hour ago.

  Max Livermore, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart", had just finished dinner with his family when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

  Max saw through the window glass that there was a carriage with the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" parked on the street outside.

  He smiled and said to his wife, "It seems I have to work overtime."

  As he spoke, Max got up and opened the door. Captain Ikanser, who was standing at the door with brown hair, smiled and said, "I will take up some of your time tonight. I need your assistance with something."

  Max smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. There is overtime pay anyway."

  As he spoke, he started to put on his coat.

  Overtime pay...

  Max sighed in his heart. Odysseus liked to talk about "overtime pay". Hey, Odysseus...

  Ikanser greeted Max's wife and children again. At this time, Max had picked up his cane and put on his top hat. After saying goodbye to his children and wife, he got on the carriage with Ikanser.

  What surprised Max was that there was actually a captain of the "Night Watchers" team, Carl, in the carriage.

  Ikanser introduced: "This is the liaison between the "Night Watchers" and the "Mechanical Heart". We are about to conduct a joint operation with the "Night Watchers".

  "I will appoint you as the liaison of the "Mechanical Heart". Keep in touch with the "Night Watchers" at any time."

  Max was a little confused about this new appointment. When he left the Mechanical Research Society this morning, there was no sign of the operation being launched.

  Ikanser then gave some explanations: "At the gathering of the Mystic Research Society today, Odysseus received an astonishing intelligence..."

  He roughly described the whole story, and finally said: "...I asked someone to send a telegram to the "Night Watchers" to remind them that someone is investigating them.

  "Sir Krestel Cecima came to the research society and informed me of the ongoing plan of the "Night Watchers."

  At this point, he looked at Carl, the captain of the "Night Watchers" team.

  Carl with deep eyes continued: "A month ago, we obtained an ancient seal with many dragon characters engraved on it. As long as you touch it, you can hear some weird and strange sounds, which can easily make people lose control.

  "We originally planned to deal with it as an ordinary seal, but at this time, a church far away in East Balam provided a very critical information that the 'Rose School' was planning to seize this seal. "

  So we planned to use this seal to set a trap and wait for the 'Rose School' to seize it.

  "The information provided to us by your intelligence officer at noon made us think that the 'Rose School' action was about to begin.

  "But after divination, it was discovered that it was not the 'Rose School' that was investigating the 'Night Watchers'.

  "There are other secret organizations that are also eyeing the seal, so Archbishop Anthony decided to cooperate with other official extraordinary people to ambush the enemy together. "

  Max realized that there were more enemies than expected, and the Nighthawks were short of manpower, so they had to launch a joint operation.

  He asked, "Why do these secret organizations want to get that seal?"

  Max spread his hands and said, "Unless they are crazy, they will attack the important strongholds of the Orthodox Church."

  If it was a remote church, it would be fine. The churches located in Backlund are basically the "second headquarters" of the Orthodox Church, and demigods are stationed here.

  Although there is an unwritten rule among the Orthodox Church: the gods do not descend directly to densely populated cities.

  But the Orthodox Church has angels, and they can support Backlund in a minute or two, or even in less than that.

  "We are still studying this." Carl said, "Well, we still haven't completely deciphered the meaning of those dragon characters.

  "But we have determined through divination and other means that this seal has a strong attraction to ancient mysterious beings, as well as the most evil and twisted beings."

  At this time, Ikanser said again: "I remember that Odysseus understands the dragon language, right?"

  Max was slightly stunned before saying: "According to our surveillance records, he did learn the dragon language by himself.

  "But..."

  But Odysseus has a lot of unstable factors. What if there is really an ancient mysterious being in his body, and after seeing the seal, his true nature is completely exposed?

  But with Carl present, this question is not easy to ask directly.

  "We have informed the 'Nighthawks' of Odysseus's specialness, and they support our next action." As he spoke, Ikanser took out a small and exquisite mechanical rod with a red button at one end of the mechanical rod.

  He said: "Just press this button, and Bishop Horamick will be able to arrive at the scene within three seconds. Max

  then understood that it was very likely that the condition for the cooperation between the Mechanical Heart and the Nighthawks was to use the seal to test Odysseus.

  And he and Odysseus were friends, so he would invite Odysseus to decipher the dragon language without causing Odysseus to doubt.     If Odysseus did not show any problems, Max could also invite Odysseus to provide intelligence support for this joint operation, and things would seem to be a matter of course.

  Thinking of this, Max said, "Okay, we'll go and invite Odysseus now."

  He knew very well that this was also a test for him.

  Max and Odysseus were usually very close, who knew if Max had been influenced by Odysseus?

  Ikanser nodded: "You go knock on the door later."

  The carriage arrived at No. 77 Hailin Avenue, and Max got off and knocked on the door.

  Knock, knock, knock~

  Odysseus, who was chatting with Bernadette upstairs, frowned. Who would knock on his door so late?

  Bernadette said, "My hunch is right, the truth has come to the door.

  "We'll continue our conversation when you come back. "

  After saying that, the other party seemed to leave.

  Odysseus didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but he guessed that what he would face next should be related to the "Moss Ascetic Order" he was talking about before.

  He hurried downstairs, and the spirit did not issue a warning of danger, so he opened the door, and Max was outside: "It's so late..."

  Odysseus looked at the carriage with the "Mechanical Holy Emblem" on the street: "...Any clues in the previous case?"

  He was talking about the case in which a member of the "Rose School" was discovered.

  Until now, Odysseus still didn't know who was providing him with clues.

  "No, there is another more important case." Max said: "Captain Ikanser is also in the carriage."

  Odysseus was slightly stunned: "Wait a minute."

  He went back and put on a coat, and looked at the foggy streets outside: "What a damn weather. "

  So Odysseus put on a hat again, otherwise his hair would get wet if he walked in the fog.

  When he got on the carriage, Odysseus greeted Ikanser. As for the captain of the "Nighthawks" team, Carl, who was also there, Odysseus was a little surprised.

  He had also seen Carl. The captain of the "Nighthawks" team who came to the fighting arena to arrest him before was Carl in a dark windbreaker.

  What Odysseus didn't know was that Carl later helped him hide the evidence.

  Captain Ikanser briefly introduced the purpose of asking Odysseus to act together. He said that there was a cooperation between the "Nighthawks" and the "Mechanical Heart", and now they needed to decipher a document of the dragon clan. It was heard that Odysseus understood the dragon language, so he took him to have a look.

  Odysseus nodded and said, "Helping the official extraordinary people investigate cases is what we ordinary citizens should do.

  "Um, how is the overtime pay calculated?"

  Carl couldn't help but glance at Ikanser, as if asking: Is this really an ancient and mysterious being? Will an ancient and mysterious being calculate overtime pay from you?

  Ikanser had already gotten used to it: "Pay according to the overtime standard of the members of the 'Mechanical Heart'. Well, if you can decipher the dragon document, you will be given an extra bonus."

  "When I heard the word 'bonus', I suddenly didn't miss the warm bed so much." Then Odysse changed the subject: "The winter in Backlund is really cold..."

  He was somewhat suspicious of his purpose for this operation.

  Odysse didn't notice Ikanser's temptation, but with Carl present, he couldn't help but wonder if the "Nighthawk" had any important clues? It can prove that Odysseus is Lelouch, so now Ikanser and the other three are going to arrest him together?

  He is not worried that the "Mechanical Heart" will harm him. Now they are in a stage of pretending to be confused with each other. The "Mechanical Heart" is monitoring him, but it acts as if it has no doubts about him.

  Odysse knows that the "Mechanical Heart" is monitoring him, but pretends to know nothing.

  But soon Odysseus found that the carriage was not heading to Pacefield Street, the headquarters of the Nightwatchers in the Backlund Parish, but to the dock area, so he was relieved.

  The carriage was indeed heading to the dock area. In order not to hurt innocent people, the Nightwatchers set a trap in a large warehouse in the dock area.

  When they arrived in front of the warehouse, someone had already opened the door, and the carriage of the Mechanical Heart went directly into the dimly lit warehouse.

  There was no cargo in the huge warehouse, only a metal platform in the middle, with a square stone like white jade on the platform.

  Odysseus got off the carriage and looked up suddenly.

  A huge "Holy Emblem of the Night" was hung on the top of the warehouse. Odysseus had an illusion that the "Holy Emblem of the Night" seemed to have looked at him just now?

  He turned his head to look at Ikanser, Max and others. None of them had any abnormal reactions, so Odysseus didn't take it too seriously, thinking that it was just his illusion.

  Soon, Odysseus focused his attention on the stone. He recognized it at a glance: "This is not ordinary dragon language."

  It is the mystical symbols used by the dragons. With the help of "Knowledge Wilderness", Odysseus became proficient in these mystical symbols after being promoted to "Combat Scholar".

  This thing, in the whole Backlund, is probably the only one who can complete the translation work.  Chapter 122 Scholar Odysseus

  The metal platform under the stone is more than one meter high, and the height of the stone is about 30 to 40 centimeters. The sum of the two is about the same as the height of a normal person.

  This is the first time that Odysseus has seen something with dragon mysticism symbols in the real world.

  Each symbol is a cube, and many characters can see the head and tail, and some can also see the structure of wings. Overall, the appearance of these symbols is a bit like a dragon of different shapes.

  He was very cautious and did not reach out to touch it. Instead, he kept a certain distance and looked at the symbols on the stone carefully.

  Ikanser and others carefully observed Odysseus and did not find any abnormality in Odysseus. Ikanser was secretly happy. After all, no one wanted such an excellent intelligence officer to have problems.

  However, Ikanser did not relax his vigilance. He still held the mechanical rod tightly with one hand and observed Odysseus carefully.

  After about half a minute, Ikanser exchanged glances with Carl and confirmed that Odysseus was fine.

  Max slowly breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that even if Odysseus has a problem, it is not a big problem.

  Carl stepped forward and said, "The scholars of our church also said that this is not the common dragon language.

  "It seems to be the oldest dragon language. According to the literature, only dragons can understand it."

  Odysseus, who had basically completed the translation, smiled and said, "That's because your scholars have not found a way to translate it."

  "We are indeed trying to find a way to decipher it." From one side of the warehouse, three old men wearing priest robes of the Church of the Goddess of Night came out.

  Each church has a group of scholars who study some difficult problems in the extraordinary world, or help translate ancient documents encountered in cases, provide advice for exploring ancient ruins, and other work.

  The hair of the middle of the three old men is completely white, and the hair and beards of the other two are also gray. They were just studying the text on the stone, but they hid temporarily after the unstable factor Odysseus arrived.

  After confirming that Odysseus was fine, they came out to continue working.

  Carl nodded to the gray-haired old man and said, "Bishop Barrit, this is Odysseus from the Church of the Mechanical Heart, who also understands dragon language. "

  The old man called Bishop Barrit said calmly: "There are many people who understand the Dragon language, but few who can recognize these characters."

  The three scholars did not think that the young man in front of them could understand the mysterious characters of the Dragon Clan.

  Ikanser and Max did not hold out much hope. After all, the scholars of the church could not figure it out, so how could an amateur of the Dragon language understand it?

  "That's right." Odysseus smiled as he looked at the words on the stone: "As early as the Second Age, the ancestors of mankind deciphered these dragon characters and formed the Dragon language and dragon characters that we currently use widely. "

  This is very similar to the situation with Giant Language. The Dragon Language and Dragon Writing that are currently circulating are also products of "humanization". The Dragon Language spoken by Dragons is very different from the Dragon Language spoken by Humans, and the same is true for the writing.

  The reason is very simple. Except for the advanced Extraordinary people of the "audience" path, humans and dragons have different pronunciation organs, reading logic and language logic.

  Barritt was slightly stunned when he heard what Odysseus said. To have such an understanding, it shows that this young man is indeed very proficient in ancient characters.

  So he asked, "What do you think of these characters?"

  Odysseus looked at the three scholars: "I started with the reading logic and studied the mystical symbols of dragons.

  "I suddenly discovered inadvertently that the most mysterious symbols of the Dragon Clan have to be read in groups of four.

  "Just like this, put the four symbols of up, down, left, and right together to form a phrase.

  "I think this should be the result of the different reading logic between dragons and humans. Our habit is to read horizontally or vertically one word at a time, while they read piece by piece."

  Ikanser and others didn't think much of this. After all, they were not experts in this area and didn't know the difference between the dragon language commonly used by humans and the language and mystical symbols only used by dragons.

  The three scholars stood there blankly for ten seconds!

  No wonder they couldn't read it no matter how they tried to decipher it. It turned out that the reading order was different!

  Ten seconds later, Barritt said with some disbelief on his face: "This... This is definitely an amazing discovery in mysticism."

  Odysseus thought: That's because you have been wandering around in the entry point of mysticism, so you are so surprised.

  He smiled and said: "I don't know if it's amazing or not, anyway, using this method, I can understand the meaning of these words."

  It's just that the reading logic is not very useful, because the writing logic of dragons is also very different from that of humans. Many symbols are similar, but they have different meanings when placed in different positions.

  If you don't have two cumbersome and complex logics for humans at the same time, it is impossible to complete the translation work.

  Odysseus only intends to tell them one of the logics.

  Ikanser understood: "Can you read the words written on the stone?"

  "I can't read it, because I can't pronounce some of the sounds." Odysseus nodded and said, "But I know what it means."

  Carl immediately said, "Please help us translate it."

  The three scholars also concentrated their attention, hoping to understand the reading logic he just mentioned from Odysseus' translation.

  Odysseus examined the words and said, "The general meaning of these words is: This is a stone that came from the starry sky and passed through the barrier.

  "The great 'Dragon of Imagination' Angerwede said: It can bring disaster, but also hope. It is a springboard for power and must not fall into the hands of the blood clan. "     Scholar Barrit nodded: "This is reasonable. After all, in the Second Age, dragons and blood races were not the same camp of power."

  Odysseus pondered for a while before asking: "What is the 'springboard of power'?"

  Ikanser asked: "Is there no further explanation on this?"

  Odysseus shook his head: "No."

  Max asked: "What is the 'barrier'?"

  Carl had the same question.

  But Ikanser said to Max: "Your reading authority is not enough. When you reach the next level, you can read the relevant knowledge."

  Max nodded slowly, and Carl nodded too. The reading authority in the Orthodox Church is similar. Max's authority is not enough, and Carl's authority at the same level is not enough.

  It should be that the team leader does not have the authority to read, and only when he reaches the level of the captain or deacon can he read the relevant information.

  Barrit stroked his beard and said to Odysseus: "Young man, to translate these words, in addition to the special reading logic, it seems that you also need to recognize the order of these words!"

  As a top scholar in the church, he certainly realized that if he only changed the reading logic, he would still not be able to read these words that looked a bit like dragons.

  "Yes, there is a more complex arrangement logic, which can also be called writing logic." Odysseus smiled.

  But he only said this and did not continue.

  Barrett smiled and said, "Young man, are you interested in joining the Church of the Goddess of Night?"

  "Ahem," Carl cleared his throat and reminded the old scholar who was quite prestigious in the church that the people of "Mechanical Heart" were standing on the side.

  "Thank you for your invitation." Odysseus also smiled and said, "But I insist on my own beliefs."

  Barrett asked again, "I have some documents on the mystical symbols of the dragon clan. Can you translate them for me?"

  "My work is very busy, and I don't know if I have time." Odysseus thought to himself that I was very busy before the price was negotiated.

  Barrett saw the members of "Mechanical Heart" on the side and suddenly had an idea: "We will have time to communicate properly in the future."

  He planned to ask the church to communicate with the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery directly to see if he could spend money or pay a price to learn how to crack the mystical symbols of the dragon clan.

  If the Church of Steam gave an order, the young man would definitely not refuse.

  The reason for this thought was that Barritt had never thought that such a young man who was so proficient in ancient characters and symbols was not a member of the Church of Steam.

  Several people discussed the passage translated by Odysseus again, but they had no clue, so Ikanser said goodbye and left with Max and Odysseus.

  On the way back in the carriage, Ikanser said to Odysseus: "How about a bonus of 100 pounds for this translation work? Together with the information you provided in the morning, I will pay you a total of 200 pounds."

  This is already a very good price. Even in Backlund, it is enough for Odysseus to live alone for more than half a year, and he doesn't have to be too frugal.

  Of course, the premise is that Odysseus is not a Beyonder and does not conduct his own research.

  Odysseus nodded: "Okay."

  Max asked the question in his heart: "How did you think of using... this special way to interpret those symbols?"

  None of the three old scholars have mastered such a method!

  "My friend," Odysseus smiled and said, "This kind of deciphering work requires talent."

  Don't ask, just ask, it's talent.

  During the chat, the carriage sent Odysseus back first.

  Then the carriage continued to move, and Ikanser and Max fell into their own contemplation.

  After a while, Max broke the silence: "In my opinion, Odysseus should not have a big problem."

  "He actually understands the mystical symbols of dragons." Ikanser said: "I am not an expert in this area, but I saw the shock of Barrett and others."

  Max sighed: Could it be that the one living in that body is really an ancient and mysterious existence?

  "But everyone has secrets that cannot be told." Ikanser touched his hair and said: "Especially in the extraordinary world."

  ...

  Odysseus returned to his bedroom and just sat down at the desk when he saw a phrase appear on the wall in front of him: I'm here.
