Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 105: "Overthrowing the Political Commissar" at the Tarot Club

At around two o'clock on Monday afternoon, Odysseus came to the backyard of the pharmacy to "take a nap" as usual.

In order to avoid attracting attention when attending the Tarot Club, he pretended to take a nap every day, and now he actually developed the habit of taking a nap.

To do this, I have to lie in the armchair and stay alert to get through three o'clock.

At exactly three o'clock, Odysseus's vision was covered by gray fog. The next second, he appeared in the Giant Hall, beside the ancient bronze table.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool." Justice Audrey's greeting made Hermit Odysseus feel as if he had heard the school bell ringing.

As usual, Audrey greeted the other members while observing them: "The Sun" was no longer so anxious, it seemed that his problem had been solved.

The greetings were over. No one had sacrificed Emperor Roselle's diary this week, so Mr. Fool skipped the reading session.

Derrick, the Sun, spoke first, "Thank you all for your help. My suspicion has been preliminarily ruled out..."

He then briefly recounted how he encountered Dark, who came looking for him, and how he made the other party completely lose control. He then pretended to cough and handed over the "Time Worm".

Finally, with the help of Mr. Fool, he passed the test of the "psychoanalyst", or "psychologist",'s "mind-reading" ability, and was basically cleared of suspicion by "Chief" Colin.

Audrey felt a little disgusted when she heard that the appetizing mushrooms that the boy named Dark took out eventually turned into a bloody scalp.

But the "magician" Fors thought to himself: "The Sun's storytelling skills are too poor. If I were to write it down, the "bloodstained scalp" would definitely be the climax of the whole story.

After Derrick finished speaking, he thanked everyone again.

Alger, the Hanged Man, asked, "Is the Shepherd elder currently under investigation?"

"Yes." Derrick was accustomed to Mr. The Hanged Man's accurate guesses. "Later, I heard that after something happened to Dark, Elder Lovia was imprisoned at the bottom of the round tower."

He smiled and said, "I believe that the investigation of the 'Council' will definitely reveal the truth, remove Luo Weiya from her position as elder, and define the 'True Creator' as an evil god."

Alger wasn't as optimistic. He continued, "Is Elder Lovia showing any signs of losing control?"

"I heard there were no signs of loss of control," Derrick said, "but this is very unusual, because the other members of the exploration team lost control, but she didn't.

"The 'Council of Six' should realize that, just like the captain of the exploration team previously 'parasitized' by Amon, Elder Lovia is very dangerous."

Alger hummed and said, "She is indeed dangerous, but in the eyes of your 'Chief', such danger can be exploited.

"If I'm not mistaken, this 'shepherd' elder may be released at the right time."

Not only Derrick, but Audrey also didn't understand why this happened. "Mr. Hanged Man, the suspicion of 'The Sun' has been cleared. Doesn't that mean there's something seriously wrong with Elder 'Shepherd'? Why was he released?"

Alger smiled confidently. "In the eyes of Silver City's Chief, there are problems with the Shepherd Elder, but these problems may also hold opportunities to help Silver City escape its predicament."

He said seriously: "Opportunities will not come to you on their own, most of the time you have to create them yourself.

"Since the 'Shepherd' elders are suspected of having connections with the 'True Creator', can we try to use these connections to help Silver City escape?"

Derrick clenched his fists. "But...but, that's the evil god!"

"The City of Silver has been trapped in darkness for over two thousand years," Alger said. "Your 'Chief' didn't immediately turn to the 'True Creator'. He's already very determined and wise."

The hall fell silent. Audrey and the other members understood the meaning of "The Hanged Man". Silver City had spent over two thousand years in darkness. Two thousand years of suffering would make them seize any opportunity to escape this doom, even if it was given by the evil god.

Derrick lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Alger added, "Don't worry too much. Your 'Chief' handled this matter with discretion. He knows very well how dangerous the evil god is.

“So even if we use the power of the Heretic God, we will be very cautious and avoid bringing danger to Silver City.

"I believe that the City of Silver has been groping in the dark for over two thousand years. Your 'Council' has enough wisdom to resolve the current problems and seize opportunities at the right time."

Derrick's mood improved a little: "Then, what should I do?"

Alger spread his hands and said, "Just do what you should do, or do something normal that won't arouse suspicion."

Odysseus, who had been silent the entire time, added, "Don't speak ill of Elder Lovia, don't say there's something wrong with her extraordinary path, and don't question the 'True Creator' in public."

Alger nodded: "Yes, this is crucial."

Derrick was about to ask why, but before he could, he decided he needed to think about it himself.

After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I understand. No one will believe me even if I tell them. On the contrary, it will make the Chief doubt me again."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I have made progress."

He said, "Another reason is that this is too ostentatious. In the future, Elder Lovia might use this to target those close to you, which would be detrimental to your ability to secretly build up strength."

Derrick said seriously, "I know what to do.

"Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man, and Mr. Hermit, for your help." Odysseus raised his hand, indicating that it was nothing. "I have a new request for this gathering."

The problem of "Little Sun" was solved, and the Tarot Club instantly returned to the trading process.

Everyone else listened carefully to the Hermit's needs, especially Audrey. She still had many questions she wanted to ask Mr. Hermit, but Mr. Hermit didn't seem to be short of gold pounds.

Only by trading extraordinary materials with him, or some things he needs, can I ask my own questions and get the answers I want.

Odysseus said: "I need the fruit of the 'flying twig tree'."

He planned to try to trade with the Tarot Club first. If he couldn't get the corresponding materials, he would then propose a trade with the "Mysterious Queen".

When Audrey heard about the extraordinary material needed by the "Hermit", she was almost too excited to maintain her "audience" status.

She cleared her throat to hide her excitement, then raised her hand slightly and asked, "How many do you need?"

Odysseus was slightly stunned before he said, "Two."

He was a little puzzled: Could it be that Justice possessed the "fruit of the fleabane tree"? Where had she gotten it? The Psychological Alchemy Society?
"That's enough!" Audrey smiled and said, "Mr. Hermit, I have the fruit of the fleabane tree."

And there were more than two, it seemed like there were four or five, placed in the warehouse in her home.

When she had gone there to look for the main materials for "The Audience" before, she had browsed through the extraordinary materials stored in the warehouse, including the "Fruit of the Ephedra Tree".

Odysseus smiled and said, "You are a very well-connected lady. Do you want gold pounds or something else?"

"Excuse me!" Audrey then said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not my channel, it's... my family's wealth. Yes, my family's wealth."

Alger was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Were you born into a Beyonder family?"

Then why did you buy the potion formula from him?

"No, this question is very complicated..." Audrey hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, I've seen this extraordinary material in the warehouse at home before."

The warehouse at home...

Klein, the Fool, who was behind the gray fog, suddenly felt a mouthful of blood rushing up his throat and almost spitting it out!
Alger also sighed in his heart: The nobles are really rich.

Fors had already begun to fantasize: If I had a warehouse like this... Haha, daydreaming.

Having come to this point, Audrey raised the question in her mind: "From what I know, many of the main family members of nobles don't seem to be Beyonders, but they all store some Beyonder materials. Why is that?"

Klein thought, "Why are you asking us? We don't know what life is like for the nobility."

Odysseus replied, “I’ve heard that some nobles store extraordinary properties or materials to preserve the value of their wealth.

"Whether it's Beyonder characteristics or Beyonder materials, their states are relatively stable. Well, I'm referring to Beyonder characteristics below Sequence 5.

"Their prices are even more stable than gold, and are almost unaffected by currency devaluation. In addition, they often have a premium, making them a better store of value than gold."

Finally, he said in a joking tone: "This answer is a gift."

Fors sighed inwardly: Xiu and I have worked so hard, and we can only barely buy the potion formula and complete the promotion, but the nobles use it to maintain their value?
Alger suddenly felt that he and "justice" seemed to be from two different worlds.

Audrey heard the Hermit's explanation and nodded slowly, "So that's how it is.

"Mr. Hermit, thank you for your answer."

Then she asked, "Can we start trading now?"

Odysseus said, "Hmm," and said, "Ask."

Audrey was a little confused. She had two questions: one was for more information about Amon, and the other was about mystical symbols.

After a slight hesitation, she said, "I hope to learn more about Amon!"

For Audrey, Amon was the only other High-Sequence Beyonder she could currently come into contact with besides Mr. Fool, and she had a strong interest in Amon's abilities.

"That information is more valuable than a Sequence 7 Master Material," Odysseus said. "I can still only trade a portion of it with you."

"Okay!" Audrey was not disappointed, but very happy, because it meant that the information to be traded next was very valuable!
Odysseus asked again: "Do you want to listen to it alone, or do you want everyone to listen to it together?"

Audrey smiled and said, “Everyone listen together.

"Perhaps this information will be helpful to other members."

Alger praised on behalf of other members: "Your character is admirable."
