Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 123: Springboard for Outer God Power

After so many times of talking to the air, Odysseus was still a little uncomfortable. He looked left and right, but still found nothing.

At this moment, Bernadette's voice echoed in the air: "Did you just find out about the 'Moss Ascetic Order' and want to steal something from the 'Nighthawks'?"

"Yes." Odysseus did not hide anything and roughly recounted his experience, emphasizing the two sentences written on the stone.

Bernadette was also a little surprised: "You can actually read the mysterious symbols of the dragon clan?"

Odysseus did not show off this, but as an expert in mysticism, she could infer what the words were just from Odysseus's simple description.

"I can only understand it." Odysseus smiled and said, "You should know that I once studied occult symbols. During one of my studies, I accidentally thought of the reading and writing methods of the dragon clan's occult symbols."

Bernadette chewed over the word Odysseus had just said: "Unintentionally..."

But she did not continue the topic, and said: "I have heard a legend that the original creator flew high into the sky after falling into a deep sleep and turned into a barrier to protect all of us.

"I've also heard a legend that some evil gods were banished to the starry sky by the Creator, and from then on could no longer harm humans. However, they are constantly searching for ways to return to the human world."

Bernadette paused and continued, “Although these are just legends, they are most likely stories adapted from real events.

“The older the legend, the more obscure the message it conveys.”

She paused and concluded, "The legendary 'barrier' is likely real."

Bernadette's knowledge of external gods and other knowledge is very limited, or in other words, at her level, she is not yet exposed to this kind of knowledge "above the gods".

Odysseus feels as if he knows something, but when he tries to recall it, he immediately encounters a spiritual warning.

He knew that this knowledge could be dangerous.

Odysseus then said, "We only need to know why the 'Moss Ascetic Order' is trying to seize this Sealed Artifact. As for the origins of that Sealed Artifact, it's best not to consider it."

Then, he gave a reasonable reason: "I don't believe that the Church of the Evernight Goddess knows nothing about the origin and function of the stone, but the 'Night Watchers' who are responsible for setting the trap are unaware of this information.

"It's possible that that knowledge is dangerous."

Bernadette hummed, "You're right. In the Extraordinary World, some knowledge itself is a form of pollution."

Then she said, "I just have a question about your translation.

“Although the dragons and the vampires are in a hostile camp, throughout the Second Age, the dragons’ greatest enemy should be the giants.

"Why doesn't it say it can't fall into the hands of giants, but it says it can't fall into the hands of vampires?"

Odysseus couldn't answer this question either: "Perhaps the vampires can use it to gain even greater power?

"After all, the vampires have always worshipped the moon. Perhaps the vampires can use this stone to gain the power of the moon outside the 'barrier'."

"Maybe." Bernadette felt that this was not the answer to this question.

Odysseus asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Watching the Moss Ascetic Order fall into the trap set by the Nighthawks and the Mechanical Heart," Bernadette said calmly, "If the timing is right, I wouldn't mind helping the official Beyonders."

She had always been somewhat hostile to the Moss Trappist Order, and the Moss Trappist Order was also hostile to her.

Odysseus said: "If there is any new news, remember to inform me."

"Hmm." Bernadette started talking about another topic: "I just saw that you also framed the painting that the 'Invisible Servant' drew earlier?"

Odysseus once invited Bernadette to his home for a meal. At that time, Bernadette saw that Odysseus liked taking pictures, so she gave Odysseus a painting of the two of them having a meal together.

The painting was very realistic, very much like the color photograph that Odysseus had in mind.

From what Odysseus heard from Bernadette, it seemed that when he left just now, she had been operating the "Invisible Servant" to walk around the house and wait?

He smiled and said, "Yes, it is quite memorable. I have even thought of a name for the painting: My Dinner with the Mysterious Queen."

"When I brag to my friends later, they'll be envious to death!"

Bernadette smiled and said, “I must remind you that almost several countries in the Northern Continent are offering a bounty on me.

"The reward they offered for my information seems to be £65, so many people are afraid of being found out that they know me or have met me before."

But Odysseus placed the evidence that the two had met in the living room!
Odysseus was reminded of this and recalled the incident.

Such a high bounty is enough for some demigods to take the risk and try to attack Bernadette.

But Bernadette's title is "Mysterious Queen" and her whereabouts are very mysterious. No one can find her. The painting of Odysseus may be an important clue to find her.

He said, "After I finish bragging, I'll put the painting away."

Odysseus decided to put the painting away after Bernadette left. After all, compared to bragging, his own life was more important.

Bernadette simply gave a casual reminder and didn't continue the conversation. She said, as if in a prophecy, "This weekend, you will face a test."

Odysseus asked, "What kind of test?"

"I don't know." Bernadette smiled and said, "I'm a 'Master of Prophecy', not a Master of Premonition."

Her voice grew disembodied, and the conversation ended.

Odysseus asked, "You're leaving in the middle of a conversation? Really? I'm going to undress and go to bed!"

Seeing no one responded, Odysseus trotted to the living room to pick up the photo, and then used the "space array" in the basement to put it into the "wilderness of knowledge", and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, an illusory laugh came to his ears: "Hehehe."

It turns out that Bernadette didn't leave because she wanted to see Odysseus's reaction.

However, Odysseus was quite thick-skinned and did not show any embarrassment. Instead, he smiled and said, "I knew you were waiting to see me take off my clothes."

"Oh, what's so good about it?" Bernadette said, "Don't worry, I have other things to do. I don't have that much time to stare at you."

After she said that, Odysseus became even more worried. After that, when he changed into his pajamas, he always felt like he was performing a strip show. Even when he went to the bathroom, he felt like there were eyes staring at him from behind.

Fortunately, Odysseus had been under surveillance for a long time before and was basically accustomed to this feeling, otherwise he would probably suffer from depression due to excessive mental stress.

Lying in bed, Odysseus did not fall asleep immediately, but used meditation to enter the "wilderness of knowledge".

Today, he has too many questions and needs to find answers in the "wilderness of knowledge".

In meditation, Odysseus walked along the field of illusory light and came to the tower made of light balls.

There was no need to check. At that moment, Odysseus had recovered all his memories and possessed knowledge of the Outer Gods and the Old Ones.

The first thing he thought of was that the "unquenchable whispers" that appeared in Russell's diary were from an Outer God!
This Outer God had actually infiltrated the Moss Ascetic Order! The chances of the Hidden Sage not discovering this were slim, but why would He simply ignore it?
A terrifying guess came to Odysseus' mind: Could it be that the "Hidden Sage" has already fallen and become a lackey of the Outer Gods?
But then he rejected this idea. If that were the case, the "Moss Ascetic Order" would probably become as crazy as the "Rose School" and be condemned by everyone.

Odysseus stopped thinking about this problem. After all, it was a problem for the gods. He had a lot of things waiting for him to worry about, so there was no need to think about such a problem that was far away from him.

Then, Odysseus gained a further understanding of the stone he had visited at night.

First of all, he knew more about the relationship between the "barrier" and the starry sky than Bernadette. The "barrier" was set up to block the Outer Gods.

That stone was able to break through the "barrier" and come to the earth, and it has the characteristics of a "power springboard". No wonder the "Rose School" would take the risk to snatch it.

With this stone, the "Mother Tree of Desire" should be able to bring more terrifying power to the earth!

As for the reason why the "Dragon of Imagination" Angerwede was unwilling to let the stone fall into the hands of the vampires, it was probably because he had already realized that the "ancestor of the vampires" Lilith was influenced by the outer gods.

Therefore, this stone must never fall into the hands of the vampires!

After learning the answers to these questions, Odysseus went on to learn some magic circles that had been used by the dragons before coming out of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and falling asleep with the power of "meditation".

The next morning, Odysseus bought a piece of toast for breakfast and a copy of the Backlund Morning Post. He ate while reading the newspaper on the public carriage.

There are more reports about Lelouch in today's newspapers. Reporters learned the whole process of Lelouch's sneaking into the fighting arena from the waiters of the fighting arena and Lelouch's former opponents.

Although the description is somewhat exaggerated, Lelouch's heroic image is gradually established.

Seeing these reports, Odysseus couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. It felt pretty good to be praised by the newspaper.

When he arrived at Gar's Herbal Medicine Shop, Odysseus did not stop, but immediately went to the basement to put on Mr. Gar's clothes, and came to the "Nanmu Ballroom" through the "Teleportation Array".

He went to Klein and reporter Mike's room and told them, "Viscount Wade hasn't had time to bother you these past few days."

Klein asked, "Was that fire serious?"

"That's not the case." Odysseus sat across from the two of them. "Viscount Wade later had a laxative incident, so he couldn't take care of you these days."

Klein sighed, "Poor Viscount Vader."

Odysseus took out a portrait and said, "Detective Sherlock, I have a commission. Please help me find this person."

The person in the portrait was Bernie, who had gone to Gal's Herbal Medicine Store to buy "sunflowers" and revealed the whereabouts of the "werewolf" to Odysseus.

Odysseus always felt that it was very important to find the person who used Bernie to remind people of the "Rose School".

Odysseus, who has always been highly inspired, knew very well that this was a spiritual reminder and should be taken seriously.

However, in the past few days, Odysseus's subordinates have not found this person, and there is no news from the "Mechanical Heart".

Today, he suddenly remembered that he had a "Sherlock Detective who was good at finding people" by his side, so he took the portrait and sent a commission to Klein early in the morning.

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