Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 113 The Watchful Eyes of the Gods

Odysseus suddenly woke up when he heard Max knocking on the door outside.

The captain of the "Mechanical Heart" rarely comes to see Odysseus outside of working hours. Usually, when he comes at this time, it means there is something very important.

After Odysseus opened the door, he looked around the street vigilantly. There was no suspicious person, so he said to Max, "Come in and talk."

After Max entered the room, he did not rush to tell his purpose, but looked at Odysseus carefully.

Odysseus also noticed that something was wrong with his good friend: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Max looked away. "I just saw in the newspaper last night that the Mysticism Society is having a meeting today, so I came to tell you that we're no longer purchasing Emperor Roselle's relics."

Odysseus nodded and looked at Max, waiting for the "important thing" he mentioned.

Max said, "That's what I came to tell you."

"Huh?" Odysseus thought he had misheard. "You're knocking on the door so early in the morning, just for this?"

"What else?" Max laughed. "If you collect another relic of the Emperor, and the Mechanical Heart can't reimburse you for it, wouldn't that be a big deal?"

After Max said this, Odysseus immediately thought: "This is indeed a big deal!"

"Okay, I worked the night shift yesterday, so I'm going back to sleep." Max yawned. "Every time at this time, I always envy the 'Night Watchers'. They only need two or three hours of sleep a day."

When leaving, Max looked at Odysseus deeply again. The top leaders of the church once speculated that three years ago, an ancient and mysterious existence awakened in Odysseus' body!

For three years, Max had already regarded the man in front of him as Odysseus and put the speculation of the higher-ups behind him.

But the urgent telegram from headquarters yesterday reminded him of these things.

Is this person in front of me really just an ordinary person? How can an ordinary person get promoted twice in a month?
But soon, Max withdrew his gaze and walked away quickly.

Watching Max leaving, Odysseus always felt something was wrong.

He made himself some coffee while thinking about Max's abnormal behavior.

Soon, an astonishing idea appeared in Odysseus's mind: The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery knows about my promotion!
But then, Odysseus felt that this did not seem surprising: after all, I might have been involved in a high-level case of "Mystery Peeper" three years ago. It was only three years, and the Steam Church could not have forgotten this matter.

Odysseus took a deep breath and suddenly realized that the coffee had overflowed from the cup and was all over the counter.

He quickly leaned over and took a sip, then wiped the coffee clean with a rag.

While drinking coffee, Odysseus felt somewhat desperate. The Steam Church's attention to him had not diminished at all, or rather, the God of Steam and Machinery still maintained a high level of attention to him.

After all, he was a god. Even if Odysseus left Backlund, he should be found quickly.

Odysseus has always known that the God of Steam and Machinery should have noticed him, after all, the case was taken over by the "Mechanical Heart" back then.

And since it involves the source material, the God of Steam and Machinery cannot be unaware of it.

So Odysseus always tried to act normal enough. He even prayed to the god of steam and machinery for power so that the extraordinary weapons he developed would have a longer service life.

He did not dare to apply the truly advanced parts of the research he conducted in the "wilderness of knowledge" to the real world.

Overall, he is a talented young man who likes to study mysticism and has used his research to improve traditional classic magic circles.

Odysseus knew that as long as he did not use the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" in the real world, the God of Steam and Machinery would just continue to observe. Maybe one day he would get tired of it and would no longer pay attention to this ordinary person named Odysseus Garr.

But obviously, Odysseus's low profile has not dispelled the attention of the God of Steam and Machinery. For a god, let alone three years, even thirty years is just a blink of an eye.

If Odysseus really had a problem, what good would it do to observe him for a lifetime? It would only be a few decades.

If there are no problems, there is nothing to lose.

But if we can really use Odysseus to find relevant information about the "Wilderness of Knowledge", then the observations during this time will be worthwhile.

Of course, such observation should be like Bernadette's "invisible servant", just taking a look occasionally, not staring at Odysseus all day long. After all, there are more people and times that need the attention of a god.

Odysseus guessed that the God of Steam and Machinery must have made a special mark on him. For example, if he was promoted or went to some special place, the God of Steam and Machinery would notice it.

Odysseus put the teacup on the counter, and an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness crept into his heart.

That is a god, a god who is high above.

Even if the God of Steam and Machinery did not pay attention to Odysseus personally, but only asked the angels of the church, or even just a demigod to pay attention to him, it was not a gaze that Odysseus could escape at the moment.

Odysseus placed his hand on his forehead, then supported his head with one arm. He suddenly wondered if he should change his plan. Instead of leaving Backlund, should he join the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery?
In this way, although it is difficult to escape the control of the God of Steam and Machinery, you can still pretend to be confused in front of the God of Steam and Machinery.

Anyway, until I clearly show a connection to the "Wild Land of Knowledge," the God of Steam and Machinery won't pierce the window paper, let alone descend to talk to me. So, I might as well play dumb and use the Church of Steam to continue my advancement...

But living like that is too painful!

Suddenly, Odysseus thought of the powerful magic circles used by the giants and dragons of the Second Age that he had just seen in the "Wilderness of Knowledge"!

He sat up straight abruptly: "I could use that new knowledge to try to find a way to temporarily hide myself!" The things at that time were a bit like those of the "Maozi"—simple and crude, but with a sense of "great strength working miracles"!

Odysseus encouraged himself: "So what if they're gods? I come from a place where I don't believe in gods! I usually burn incense to all the gods and Buddhas, asking them to bless me with peace, but if they can't bless me, I still ignore them."

Of course, the gods and Buddhas of that time were different from the gods in this world. The gods in this world really exist.

However, this made Odysseus think about giving it a try instead of immediately compromising with the gods.

But he knew very well that this was not a problem that could be solved overnight. Food had to be eaten bite by bite, things had to be done one by one, and when it was time to eat breakfast, he still had to eat breakfast first.

……

West District, 25 Lily Street.

Miss Lisa's maid went out early with a basket and looked around for a place to buy breakfast, fresh vegetables and meat.

Miss Lisa is the mistress favored by Viscount Wade.

Last night, Miss Lisa's residence suddenly caught fire, so she moved to Lily Street overnight without even having time to notify the chef.

So I can’t make breakfast myself today, I can only go out and buy some and ask Mr. Viscount to have a meal with me.

The Viscount left in a hurry at that time, and the servants in the Viscount's mansion probably didn't know where Viscount Wade was going, and there was no time to notify them to deliver breakfast here.

And sending someone to notify them would not be a good idea either. The Viscountess might think that this was a provocation from Miss Lisa.

When passing by a bakery, the maid smelled the aroma of bread, so she went into the store and bought two loaves of white bread.

At the same time, she saw that they were selling crispy croissants, which looked very delicate and delicious.

Of course the maid knew that this was the Viscount's favorite, so she bought some without hesitation.

After buying vegetables and meat elsewhere, the maid returned to her new residence and placed the breakfast on the dining table.

At around eight o'clock, Viscount Wade got up and came to the restaurant chatting and laughing with Miss Lisa.

The fifty-year-old Viscount was pleasantly surprised to find his favorite crispy croissants on the table.

After asking the maid where she bought it and letting her valet taste it, Viscount Wade took a bite without hesitation. It tasted good, and soon, he had finished the whole croissant.

So after more than half an hour, the Viscount was completely afraid to leave the toilet.

After learning that he had eaten food that had been drugged, he yelled in the bathroom and told his bodyguard to find the murderer.

The two bodyguards brought the frightened maid downstairs to find Mr. Beavis and told him in detail what had happened to Viscount Wade.

This Beavis is a Sequence 6, an extraordinary bodyguard hired by Viscount Wade at a huge expense.

Extraordinary people at this level are somewhat different from other bodyguards.

He can protect his employer when he goes to see his mistress in the middle of the night, and he can also protect his employer when he is intimate with his mistress, but don't expect him to stay outside all night.

Moreover, even a noble employer like Viscount Wade, who believed in the "bloodline theory", did not dare to treat him as a servant.

This was also within the calculations of Odysseus and Mandy. After moving to a new place, even the most sophisticated nobles would either go hungry or have a hasty breakfast on the first day.

A noble like Viscount Wade would most likely prefer to starve than eat outside food.

But if his favorite crispy croissant is included, it's different and he'll probably try a bite or two.

And the laxative prepared by Odysseus only requires one sip.

To prevent the valet from exposing the problem of the laxatives by tasting them, these laxatives will not take effect until half an hour. A hasty breakfast will not take half an hour, so the probability of success is very high.

When Mandy learned that Viscount Wade's bodyguard had returned to the bakery with the maid, she knew that Mr. Gal's plan had succeeded.

As for the bakery owner and staff, they had already been sent out of Backlund. Mr. Beavis only knew that they had moved away in a hurry, and there was no hope of finding any clues.
