Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 144 The Wizard’s Curse

Odysseus first took a carriage back to the "Nanmu Ballroom", and then returned to the Gar Herb Shop to complete his transformation.

Then he took the carriage again, returned to No. 77 Hailin Road, disguised himself as the wizard Gandalf again, and used the "teleportation array" in the basement to come to No. 66 Rose Street.

After running all the way, Odysseus sighed in his heart: "Having so many accounts is really troublesome."

Coming out of the basement in the image of Gandalf, Odysseus sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had nothing to do recently and could play the role of a wizard for a few days with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, he piled firewood in the fireplace and prepared to make a fire.

At this moment, Odysseus's spirit suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and he immediately became alert, but because he did not feel threatened, he did not immediately take a fighting stance, but continued to stack firewood.

By the time the firewood was piled up, Odysseus had thought about it. Now few people knew that the new name "Gandalf" was Odysseus. The person who was peeking outside was probably here to visit the wizard Gandalf.

So Odysseus began his performance. He first recited a few spells, then blew slightly towards the fireplace, and flames suddenly burned in the fireplace, igniting the firewood.

"oops!"

Odysseus heard the screams outside and looked coldly towards the door. What he didn't expect was that the person at the door was the vendor who sold Dipsy pies yesterday!
When the vendor saw the wizard looking at him, he quickly took a few steps back.

Odysseus slowly walked to the door and opened it: "What are you doing sneaking around?"

The vendor quickly bowed and said, "Hello Mr. Wizard, I...I'm here to apologize."

"What are you apologizing for?"

"Yesterday...last night, I shouldn't have given you that burnt pie," the vendor replied quickly.

After he was robbed by the strong man yesterday, he was no longer in the mood to do business, so he pushed the remaining cakes home. At this time, he suddenly remembered the wizard's words, which seemed to say that he would be plagued by bad luck recently.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it must be a curse cast upon him by a wizard.

The vendor was terrified that night, afraid that the wizard would send some monster to kill him. He did not sleep all night, and he came here and knocked on the door early this morning.

But at that time, Odysseus had already left through the "teleportation array".

The peddler knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. He was not in the mood to do business today, so he sat on the steps in front of the door and waited.

Just now he heard a sound in the room, so he leaned over to the window and looked out. He saw the wizard lighting the fireplace. When he saw the wizard "blowing out" the flame, he couldn't help but scream.

After listening to the other party's description, Odysseus suddenly smiled and said, "I'm not so stingy as to curse you just because of a pie. When I told you that your luck hadn't been very good recently, I was just stating the facts."

At that time, he opened his "Eye of Prying Eyes" and saw that there was darkness above the head of the peddler's spirit, which was a symbol of bad luck.

So when Odysseus said that, he was just trying his best to play the role of a wizard.

The vendor nodded, seeming to understand. "Then, how do I end this bad luck?"

Odysseus raised his hand and pinched his temple, then opened the "Eye of Secrets" and saw that the sky above the peddler's head was no longer so dark, but there was no light either. This meant that his luck in the past two or three days was neither good nor bad.

He thought for a moment and said, "Come in with me."

After saying this, he walked ahead and said, "I have herbs here that can end bad luck early, but you have to pay a certain price to get them."

"What price?"

"16 soli." Odysseus did not ask for an exorbitant price. The money he wanted was the value of the herbs themselves plus the price of a Dixie pie.

The vendor breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay."

He has enough money with him today.

Odysseus took a small paper bag, opened one of the cans, and used a wooden shovel to scoop some powder into the paper bag.

The moment Odysseus opened the jar, the vendor behind him seemed to smell the scent of sunshine.

In Backlund, such a smell was intoxicating.

Odysseus folded the paper bag and handed it to the vendor: "Go back and take a bath with this medicine. After you use it, your bad luck will end early."

In fact, it was the powder of "Golden-edged Sunflower" with a little "Golden Tangerine" powder added.

If you feel damp in the house, sprinkle a handful of this powder into the fireplace and most of the moisture will be removed immediately.

If you use it to take a bath, you will feel warm all over and very comfortable.

The peddler's bad luck was over, and this experience would make him think that he had escaped it with the help of a wizard.

Seeing that there were only a few herbs, the vendor paused before quickly taking out the money and counting out 16 soli.

He felt it was too little because he was not a fan of mysticism. Odysseus had been selling herbs for so many years and had never cheated on anything.

Occultism is a very expensive hobby.

And Odysseus was quite conscientious and only sold him this much.

Odysseus leaned his staff against the wall, took the money with one hand, and handed the medicine to the vendor with the other: "Young man, remember this lesson."

Although Odysseus was not that stingy, he was not generous either. If the vendor had replaced the burnt pie with his yesterday, he would have beaten the big man so badly that he would never dare to rob again in his life.

The vendor took the herbs and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

After seeing the peddler off, Odysseus returned to the sofa and sat down, warming himself by the fireplace and reading a book to pass the time.

I had a quick bite at noon and continued reading in the afternoon.

This made Odysseus sigh in his heart: Such a day is really pleasant. I really hope that the next customer can come later.

At this moment, a phrase appeared on his book: I am here. Odysseus did not put down the book and continued to read: "Fortunately, I didn't wait for you to save my life."

"You changed your address and your clothes. It took me a long time to find you." Bernadette's voice came from the air.

Odysseus said: "I met someone from the 'Moss Ascetic Order' again..."

He recounted his experiences that morning, but of course he didn't mention the spoils.

The air was silent for two or three seconds before Bernadette said, "They only sent a Sequence 6 to capture you?"

"You also feel that something is wrong, right?"

Bernadette did not answer Odysseus' question, but asked in return: "Did they attract you to a certain place, or leave important clues to a certain place?"

Odysseus thought carefully for a while before saying, "No, at least I don't remember it.

"If anything, it makes Bernie's residence more important."

Before that, Odysseus had already felt that it was not a very important clue.

But after what happened today, I must check that address carefully, but I will use the "mechanical heart" to check it.

The air was silent again for a while before Bernadette said, "I've also been looking for someone from the Moss Ascetic Order recently.

"I can sense that they are currently planning something big, but I'm not sure what it is."

Odysseus nodded. "We exchange intelligence with each other at any time. I'll ask the Mechanical Heart in a few days if they've found anything."

"it is good."

Ding ding ding ding~
Odysseus glanced at the door and whispered, "Wait a moment, I'll go see who it is."

Arriving at the door, Odysseus saw that the visitor was a man in his thirties, dressed elegantly, though not extravagantly. He opened the door and said, "Hello."

"Hello." The man said, his eyes a little cross-eyed, looking a little funny. "Excuse me, are you Gandalf the Wizard?"

"Yes." Odysseus said in a calm tone, "Please come in."

Odysseus walked in front and sat down in his original seat without any hesitation, then made a gesture to the guests to sit down.

The man sitting opposite Odysseus looked somewhat nervous.

Odysseus said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any tea or coffee."

After a pause, he decided to say the following line: "And my drink is highly poisonous to you, so I won't offer it to you."

The man immediately sat up straight and said, "I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty."

A voice suddenly appeared beside the fireplace: "Hehe."

The man stood up suddenly, almost falling down because he stood up so quickly: "Who? Who's there?"

"You heard wrong." Odysseus smiled and said, "There is no one there."

The man looked left and right at the fireplace, and after finding that there was indeed no one there, he sat down again with a cautious look on his face.

Odysseus said, "Tell me what you want to see me about."

The man calmed down a bit before saying, "Mr. Wizard, please keep what I am about to say a secret."

"Okay, go ahead." Odysseus had a bad feeling.

The man seemed to muster up the courage to ask, "Can you, can you let me have a child?"

Odysseus was somewhat helpless: "Why give you a child? You can't give birth to one."

"Haha!" Laughter rang out again beside the fireplace.

The man stood up a second time and looked at the fireplace tremblingly. "Who is there?"

"No one." Odysseus sighed and said, "Let's talk business."

He asked, "You two are infertile, right?"

After hearing the word "infertility", the man stopped looking at the fireplace and said somewhat shyly: "Yes, yes."

Odysseus thought for a moment and said, "I do have a plan. Come back tomorrow with 50 pounds."

The man was somewhat unconvinced: "Really?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "The rational use of herbs is what wizards are best at. If you don't believe in it, then don't come."

He just wanted to finish this "business" quickly to prevent the person by the fireplace from laughing again.

"Yes, yes, I will come tomorrow."

After sending the man away, Bernadette's voice was heard again in the air: "Are you a wizard or a medicine man? Or do you want to 'give' a child to his wife?"

"Be more reserved." Odysseus said helplessly, "I didn't even make such a joke."

He paused and continued, “It’s just that I happen to know a pharmacist who is very trustworthy and his prices are very fair. A dose of herbal medicine costs only 10 pounds.

"In the case of this man, the couple may need one dose each."
