Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 139: Wizard Gandalf is online (more!)
On Tuesday morning, Odysseus came to Gar's Herbal Store with dark circles under his eyes.

He was so excited that he didn't sleep well last night, and even "meditation" couldn't help him fall asleep, or rather, he was too excited to "meditate".

Because yesterday's discovery was so exciting. It was not only a material that could store spiritual energy, but also made many of Odysseus's ideas come true.

For example, combining this material with the magic array he is studying can immediately create infinite possibilities.

Has anyone ever seen a magic circle that doesn't require immediate spiritual infusion? Has anyone ever seen a "fully automated" magic circle?
There are so many places where it can be applied. For example, the "Extraordinary Chariot" designed by Odysseus more than a year ago has always lacked a stable energy source. Now these small crystals have perfectly solved this problem.

This is exactly why Odysseus is so excited, because his research has taken another solid step towards application.

I was going to open "Gandalf" for business today, but it won't be open today. I'll catch up on some sleep first.

When they arrived at the herbal medicine shop, Odysseus saw Kena taking his sister Pasha to familiarize herself with the environment. The little girl looked a bit like Kena and her complexion was okay. After all, Kena's seemingly meager salary was enough to keep the family from starving.

Pasha is a year or two younger than Kena, but she had worked in a textile factory for a while before, but was fired because of illness.

After seeing Odysseus, she seemed a little nervous and kept adjusting the corners of her clothes.

Odysseus simply greeted the other party, then said a few words to Kaina before going to the backyard. He sat in the easy chair and thought about how to leave Backlund safely. Because no matter how powerful yesterday's discovery was, it could not be used in Backlund.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep.

Odysseus had a very comfortable sleep and dreamed that he had landed on an island where he built his own extraordinary kingdom and reached the pinnacle of his life.

But dreams are just dreams after all, and he was eventually woken up by hunger.

Looking at his pocket watch, it was already past two in the afternoon. Odysseus rubbed his stomach and came to the shop in front. As usual, Kena had bought him lunch.

Odysseus finished his lunch while chatting with Kena. Just as he was about to return to the backyard, the postman delivered a telegram.

Odysseus opened it and saw that more than an hour ago, Detective Sherlock went to the "Nanmu Ballroom" and told Mandy that he had completed Mr. Gall's first commission and asked Mr. Gall to come for inspection tomorrow.

Odysseus had previously given the great detective two tasks. The first task was to find Bernie's address.

This Bernie was the puppet name of the "astrologer" from the "Moss Ascetic Order" before, who once reminded Odysseus of the address of the "werewolf" from the "Rose School".

Odysseus thought: Klein only just now said that he had found Bernie's address. Obviously, he was trying to avoid exposing his method of using "divination" to solve cases, and he was also hiding his true strength.

In this case, the arrangements for the next two days will have to be adjusted. I may not have time tomorrow, so let’s go to No. 66 Rose Street this afternoon to officially open “Gandalf”.

So Odysseus said hello to Kena, first returned to No. 77 Hailin Avenue, changed into the "wizard" equipment in the basement, and came to the basement of No. 66 Rose Street through the "teleportation array".

He walked around the room and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he turned on the gas lamp, brightening the dimly lit room.

This means "open for business".

Then Odysseus read a book while waiting for his first customer to come.

But by the evening, no one came to the door.

Odysseus was not in a hurry either. He knew that the business of being a "charlatan" was more difficult to get into at the beginning than being a detective.

Moreover, it is obviously not a good idea to advertise this kind of business in the newspaper, because in that case, his first client may be a member of the official Beyonder.

Therefore, the "wizard"'s business can only rely on word of mouth. Only when someone comes to Odysseus and knows that this guy is reliable, his friends will come to Odysseus for help when they encounter similar problems.

Although we have been using the intelligence network of "Nanmu Ballroom" to help with publicity, many people are still waiting and watching due to the lack of sufficient examples to support it.

After putting away the book, Odysseus prepared to buy dinner. After all, wizards also need to eat.

Ding ding ding ding~
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Odysseus was stunned for a moment before he grabbed the wooden staff, walked to the door leisurely, and opened the door with an indifferent expression.

Standing outside was an old gentleman in his fifties. The silk on his hat, the gold chain on his pocket watch, and the personal valet following behind him all indicated that he must be a wealthy man.

The reason why Odysseus felt that he was not a noble was because he did not wear a cuff pin or a collar pin.

That was the custom of the nobility, who liked to wear small ornaments inlaid with gems and diamonds, or small gold ornaments engraved with family emblems.

Because such items are small but exquisitely crafted, they are generally very expensive, and some special styles even have to be ordered several months in advance.

Nobles liked to use these little things to distinguish themselves from those who "got rich overnight", and even the king would sometimes reward them with some of these little things, so some special collar pins were also symbols of honor.

This is in line with the habits of the Loen nobles: reserved, introverted, yet able to express their own uniqueness.

"Hello." Odysseus said indifferently, "What's going on?"

The old gentleman was slightly taken aback when he saw Odysseus's attire. After all, it was rare to see someone wearing a wizard's robe and a pointed wizard's hat in Backlund, let alone someone with such a long beard.

As for the staff, it is much longer than the cane!
Hearing the question from the wizard in front of him, the old gentleman seemed to come back to his senses: "Excuse me, are you the great wizard Gandalf?"

Odysseus simply replied, "I am Gandalf."

"I've come to ask for your help," said the old gentleman with a smile.

"Please come in."

The old gentleman first said to the valet behind him: "Wait for me in the carriage."

Then he followed Odysseus into the room. He came to sit on the dark sofa, and Odysseus, who was sitting opposite the old gentleman, said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any tea or coffee here, and my drink is poisonous to you, so I won't offer you any."

The old gentleman bowed uneasily and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not thirsty."

He thought to himself: How horrible! The wizard actually uses poison as a drink.

Then he was in a bit of a dilemma because he didn't know how to deal with wizards.

Then the living room fell into silence.

Odysseus thought to himself: Oh no, I seem to have used too much force.

After pondering for a while, he raised his hand and pinched his temple, opening the "Eye of Secrets".

Judging from his aura, this old gentleman has some problems with his lungs, but all other organs are healthy.

The lung problem wasn't a big deal. In Backlund, many people had lung problems.

Finally, Odysseus looked at the other party's fortune. There was a faint light on the top of the spirit's head, which meant that his fortune would be good for the next three days.

The old gentleman noticed that the wizard's eyes seemed different, and then he felt as if his soul was being examined.

This is not an illusion.

Odysseus closed the "Eye of Prying Secrets": "You will encounter some lucky things recently."

The old gentleman was slightly taken aback: "Thank...thank you."

"Where did you hear that I came to Backlund?" Odysseus then raised another question, and the conversation continued smoothly.

"From a friend," the old gentleman replied. "I heard it from Viscount Wade at a ball the other day... Oh, no, he's a baron now...

"I also learned from Baron Wade that you are a very powerful wizard, so I asked a friend for your address. I just happened to be passing by here today, so I hope you can forgive my hasty visit, which may be a bit intrusive."

The gentlemen of Backlund usually arrange a meeting time a few days in advance and then visit at the agreed time.

This is the normal courtesy of visiting.

However, if you want to visit a wizard, there is no need to use this "normal visiting" method.

Odysseus roughly understood that the "friend" the old gentleman was referring to should be the person who helped him with publicity, or the person who had heard the publicity.

It so happened that the old gentleman had recently met Baron Wade, from whom he learned that Gandalf was a very powerful wizard.

Odysseus thought to himself: It seems that the old man Baron Wade has no doubts about Gandalf's previous words and actions, and is still working hard to promote Gandalf.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

The old gentleman hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please keep it a secret for me."

Odysseus nodded slowly.

The old gentleman took a deep breath before continuing, "I really want to know if my eldest son, Biqier, is my biological son?"

Odysseus was stunned for a second or two: The troubles of the rich!
This must involve the issue of property inheritance or property division, so the blood relationship must be clarified.

"When I met Biqier's mother..." the old gentleman hurriedly explained.

Odysseus raised his hand. "I don't need to know the details. I just need a few strands of Biqier's hair and your presence to give you the answer."

Extraordinary people on the "Mystery Peepers" path can also do divination, but they can't do very complicated divination. The only divination method that can roughly achieve the effect of a "fortune teller" is "astrological divination". Other divination methods such as "cane divination" and "dream divination" are unique abilities of "fortune tellers".

However, it is relatively easy to divine whether the person in front of you is cuckolded, but if you want to divine who is cuckolding him, you can only try "astrological divination".

The old gentleman was slightly taken aback. “Okay, okay, I’ll get the hair in a few days and come visit again then.”

As he spoke, he handed a business card to the wizard.

Odysseus glanced at the name: York Elton.

Then the old gentleman said goodbye politely and returned to the carriage. Thinking of the somewhat horrible decoration of the wizard's residence and the wizard's strange remarks, he suddenly hesitated whether to send the hair away.

He returned home with a heavy heart. As soon as the carriage stopped, York saw the manager he hired coming out of the house to greet him: "Mr. Elton, our contract with Oster Marine Company has finally been signed!"

This lucrative cooperation has been discussed for more than half a year, but the contract has not been signed.

Upon hearing the news, York happily jumped off the carriage and said, "That's really good news..."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the wizard once said that he would be very lucky recently!
York was stunned with surprise: He knew... He knew all this...

Then he looked at his eldest son's hair.

　The research plot is a bit dragged out, so I'll add another chapter and jump to the next plot as soon as possible.
