Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 118 Trying to Play the “Wizard”

In the evening, Viscount Wade, who had been working all day, returned to his mansion in a carriage 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 caught a glimpse of 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 was leaning on a wooden staff.

Viscount Wade thought that this person was dressed very similarly to the wizard he had in mind, so he took a closer look at him.

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly rang in his ears: "You have been very unlucky recently."

Viscount Wade was startled: "Who?"

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

Viscount Wade took a deep breath and said, "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 had 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 holding a wooden staff.

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

At the same time, he heard the voice again in his ears: "The river of your destiny is in great turmoil, and a great disaster is about to befall you."

Viscount Wade's hands trembled. This time he was sure that he was not hallucinating, but someone was really talking to him. Judging from the bodyguard's expression, he still didn't hear anything: "Stop the car! Stop the car!"

He suddenly realized that it was very likely that the wizard 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 power could sense that it was an extraordinary person, and that the other party seemed to have used extraordinary abilities just now.

Because Beavis sensed no danger and his employer had not ordered an attack, he was merely issuing a warning.

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

After he returned to the herbal medicine shop, he took a rest first, and then asked Kena and several customers who came to buy medicine what their impression of wizards was like.

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

So Odysseus designed his own wizard image, with a long beard reaching his chest that covered half of his face. He also used props to lengthen his nose bridge and lightly drew eyeliner. Odysseus's expression became a little sinister, which was a huge difference from the temperament of the herbalist.

What Viscount Wade heard just now was someone talking in his ear. In fact, it was Odysseus who was talking to him using the "whispering technique" he invented.

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

Apart from being able to speak discreetly so that others won't hear, this witchcraft cannot harm the other person's soul, nor can it provide any spiritual guidance. It has no other effect.

But it can be used to play tricks.

Odysseus ignored Beavis and said to the carriage in front of him where Viscount Wade was riding: "Fate has led me here, Salsi Wade! Son of Antonio! The glory of our ancestors..."

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

"Wait." Viscount Wade was certain that this was the voice that had just spoken in his ear. He opened the car window and said, "Let him finish."

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

The one he encountered 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 legends, wizards are mysterious and powerful, always hiding in dark villages or deep mountains and dense forests, concocting potions with strange effects, and it is said that they can even concoct the elixir of immortality.

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

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

This made Viscount Wade even 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 do not be deceived 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 culprit who gave him the laxative.

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

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

Viscount Wade quickly asked, "Is there any way to solve this?"

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

"How do I find it?"

"Look for it at your house."

Viscount Wade said with a weak voice, "Please get in the car." "No need," Odysseus said calmly, "You go first, I'll follow."

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

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

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

Just as Odysseus analyzed, Viscount Wade was a very superstitious man. After seeing Odysseus's "performance", he almost got out of the car to worship.

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

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

Someone actually flew in following Viscount Wade's carriage!
When the carriage stopped, the person flying in the air also landed steadily.

Viscount Wade, supported by his bodyguards, got out of the car and said with a smile, "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 the noble lady who came out to greet him: "Hello, Viscountess!"

As he spoke, Odysseus, who had a wealth of information, walked towards the living room without waiting for the lady to react.

The direction he was heading was exactly the direction of the living room of the Viscount's Mansion. He sat down on the sofa and waited for Viscount Wade and his wife to come.

This performance once again surprised Viscount Wade. It was not too surprising that the wizard could recognize his wife without any introduction. After all, it could probably be seen from his wife's clothes.

But the other party's confident demeanor, as if he had been to his own home, made Viscount Wade really unable to understand how he did it.
In fact, this was thanks to the advanced intelligence system established by Odysseus. He had the floor plan of Viscount Wade's house. Where was the living room? Where was the bedroom? Even where was the bathroom? He knew it all clearly.

Among all the intelligence organizations in Loen, only MI9 had such an advanced intelligence system. Other intelligence organizations only had text descriptions of the structure and purpose of the buildings.

When Viscount Wade sat down next to him, Odysseus still didn't rush to talk about the topic. Instead, he said to the frail-looking Viscount, "Your condition is still very serious. You need at least two or three days to recuperate."

Viscount Wade's personal physician had been treating him for a day, but the effects of severe dehydration on his body were still making him miserable.

Viscount Wade obviously did not know the "pharmacist", otherwise the "pharmacist" would only need a dose of herbal medicine to restore him to normal.

Hearing what Odysseus said, Viscount Wade became a little excited: "Do you know about my illness?"

Odysseus thought to himself: Nonsense, I was the one who gave the medicine, of course I know.

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

Viscount Wade knew that the wizard was going to use his magic to heal him, so he quickly asked the butler to get sesame seeds.

Soon, the housekeeper 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 stunned everyone in the room. Some servants rubbed their eyes, and some couldn't believe what they saw.

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

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

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

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

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

At this time, the peach branch on his staff quickly became illusory and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Before everyone could react, 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 round ball of sesame seeds and peach kernels.

Finally, he handed it to Viscount Wade and said, "Eat it."

Viscount Wade, who was given a laxative this morning because he ate something he didn't like, was somewhat resistant.

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

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

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

Viscount Wade no longer had any doubts. He stood up and shook Odysseus's hand. "Mr. Wizard, please help me! I've been so unlucky lately."

　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 during those days and my fever subsided temporarily, I felt weak all over and could only write 500 words, rest for 500 minutes, and then write another words, and repeat this cycle.

　　Fortunately, I have recovered a lot today. Although I still cough a lot and get tired easily, I can write 1500 words before taking a break.

　　What makes the author feel fortunate is that he has not stopped updating, or that the updates are less than 6000 words.
