Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 149 A new customer arrives
The carriage parked in front of No. 66 Rose Street is very luxuriously decorated and has a more beautiful appearance. It is different from most of the carriages running on the road.

When Odysseus saw the carriage, he guessed that the person sitting inside was a wealthy man who had bought a title.

Because there are some exclusive decorations for the nobility on the carriage, but there is no noble family emblem on the door, this generally means that the carriage belongs to a baron or lord.

But generally, the inherited barons or lords do not have the financial resources to decorate their carriages so gorgeously.

So Odysseus guessed that the other party should be a wealthy man who had the ability to buy a title.

While he was lost in thought, he walked around the carriage and came to the door of his house.

At this moment, the carriage door opened and a man dressed as a servant asked, "Excuse me, are you Gandalf the Wizard?"

Odysseus didn't even turn his head and said as he opened the door, "Yes."

The servant continued, "Sir, please come to the carriage to talk."

Odysseus opened the door and still didn't look back: "If you want to talk, come here and talk to me."

As he spoke, he walked in and placed the cloth bag containing the "smart helmet" on the shelf.

The "Sir" outside also got off the carriage and walked in with his valet. He was a man in his forties, a little fat, with a small mustache, a smiling face, and a very shrewd look in his eyes.

Odysseus asked him to sit down. "I'm sorry, I don't have any tea or coffee here. I'm sure you won't be used to my drinks."

The Sir smiled and said, "I didn't come here for tea."

Odysseus glanced at the fireplace, waved his hand and sprinkled a handful of transparent powder. A gust of wind blew and blew the firewood into the fireplace.

This action stunned the butler behind the knight. The knight was also a little surprised, but he was a man who had seen the world, and he easily hid his surprise in his heart.

"Tell me what you want from me." Odysseus said as he casually sprinkled out another handful of powder.

Call ~
The fireplace instantly lit itself.

This action made the Jazz, who originally looked very casual, lean forward and look a little nervous.

He cleared his throat to hide his emotions before introducing himself: “I’m Brad Rick, you can call me Brad or Lord Rick.

"I came to see you because I have a personal matter that I don't know how to deal with, and I would like to hear your advice."

Odysseus nodded: "You say."

"I bought a manor in the suburbs last year," Brad recounted. "The main part of the manor is a small castle built during the Twenty Years' War.

“That was the asset of the once-powerful Frank family, but in the last one or two hundred years, the family has declined, and now the Frank family only has the title of Viscount.

“The scenery there is beautiful, it’s close to the mountains, and hunting is very convenient. It’s a great estate.

“It was also by the lake there that I met the beautiful Miss Eleanor Frank, a gentle and beautiful girl with elegant conversation and a wide range of interests.

"We often chat on the grass and by the lake for the whole afternoon."

Having said this, Brad still looked affectionate, but the following description made his expression more and more serious: "I asked Miss Eleanor about her family details and learned that there is a branch of the Frank family living in a small village opposite the mountain.

“I told my friend about the village, but he told me that it had been destroyed in a fire 20 years ago and there were no survivors.

“I found it incredible, so I sent people to investigate, and sure enough, I saw a burned-out village on the other side of the mountain, and it seemed there were no other villages around.

“But when I went to the castle again a few days ago, I met Miss Eleanor again and asked her about this question.

"She told me that she did not live in the burned-down village. Following her guidance, I looked at the village where she lived from afar.

“There is a small village there, and you can see some villagers moving around.

"But, I swear, there wasn't a village there before!"

When he said this, Brad could no longer hide his nervousness.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Wizard, what should I do now?"

Odysseus thought for a moment before asking, "What is your faith?"

"Goddess of the Night."

"Then go to St. Samuel Church and confess to the priest there." Odysseus said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have encountered some unusual events."

This is the responsibility of the Orthodox Church, and he has no intention of competing with the Orthodox Church for business.

Brad said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but...but when I think of the beautiful Miss Eleanor, I feel that it would be a pity if her reputation was affected because of my misjudgment.

"So I hope you can help me check and determine whether to report it to the Orthodox Church."

Odysseus understood the other party's intention. Basically, he was still lusting after her and wanted to make a final effort. So, he asked a professional to investigate Miss Eleanor. If they could only confirm that she was strange but not dangerous, he wouldn't tell the church. Such a professional was not easy to find, so after much searching, Brad finally found Odysseus.

Odysseus was about to refuse, but then thought, it would be a waste not to make money from such people. "Your description is very interesting. I can help you make a judgment, but I have to go to the site to see it."

There definitely sounded like something fishy about that Miss Eleanor. No matter what he found there, Odysseus planned to inform the "Mechanical Heart" of his findings upon his return.

Brad smiled and said, "That's great."

He paused and said, "I'm planning to go to the manor today. How about we go together in a carriage?"

Odysseus thought for a moment before nodding: "Okay, you guys go wait for me in the carriage, I'll get ready."

"We might have to stay there overnight," Brad said. "Please prepare accordingly."

Odysseus said "hmm".

After Brad left with his valet, Odysseus took some powders used in witchcraft, and then sorted out the extraordinary weapons and seals in the "Space Array" so that they could be taken at the critical moment.

After packing up everything, Odysseus hung an "Out" sign outside the door and got into Brad's carriage.

The driver pulled the reins, and the luxurious and spacious carriage drove towards the western suburbs.

In the carriage, Brad was somewhat nervous facing the wizard, but he mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Wizard, please do not harm Miss Eleanor before the investigation concludes."

Odysseus thought to himself: These rich people really like to seek excitement, or has this guy been bewitched by some ability of Eleanor?
He agreed casually: "Okay."

Then Odysseus asked, "Do you know how the Frank family declined?"

"I heard that the king no longer trusts them," Brad said. "Also, the heir of that family failed to keep up with the times and failed to complete some emerging investments while they still had a certain amount of assets.

"Later, the family could only rely on the income from the land to support the entire family. After several generations of continuous squandering, they finally started selling off their assets and completely declined 20 or 30 years ago."

Odysseus nodded and said, "It would be better if I find someone to ask."

"Who?" Brad was slightly stunned: "Do you want the carriage to go somewhere else first?"

"No need." Odysseus smiled mysteriously: "I can ask here, but I need your help."

Brad was stunned: "My help?"

"You keep imagining what Miss Eleanor looks like and how she makes you feel." Odysseus stretched out his left hand. "Put your hand on mine. Okay, start imagining."

Brad was both curious and frightened about Gandalf's "witchcraft". He slowly reached out and placed his hand in Gandalf's palm. Fortunately, the wizard's hand was still warm, not cold.

Gandalf muttered a few spells, and suddenly his temperament changed, becoming gloomy and terrifying!
Brad's valet moved aside. He suddenly had the idea of resigning!

Suddenly, "Gandalf" grabbed Brad's hand and squeezed it hard. Brad tried to pull it back, but it was as if he was caught by a huge pair of pliers. He used all his strength but couldn't pull it back even a little bit.

At the same time, a green will-o'-the-wisp appeared in the other hand of the wizard Gandalf. This will-o'-the-wisp seemed to have no temperature, making Brad feel a chill on the back of his head. In fear, he forgot to struggle.

Brad's valet had already moved to the car door, ready to jump out at any time.

After the will-o'-the-wisp burned for more than ten seconds, Gandalf seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. When the will-o'-the-wisp went out, he slowly let go of Brad's hand.

Then, "Gandalf's" temperament became peaceful again.

This was of course another performance. He had been making ghost fires frequently during this period and had gained a lot of experience.

Odysseus looked at Brad and said, "I just summoned the undead of the Frank family..."

Brad rubbed his hands and said in surprise: "Huh?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "Through Miss Eleanor in your mind, you can summon the corresponding undead."

Brad quickly said, "You are truly a powerful wizard."

His valet also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the horrified expression on the wizard Gandalf's face just now, this was not something that was too difficult to accept.

Odysseus waved his hand and continued, "The Frank family was abandoned by the royal family and the nobles because of their close relationship with some evil Beyonders."

He believed that Lord Rick in front of him should know what an extraordinary person was.

Odysseus mainly hoped to use the performance just now to make Brad believe his words, because this was an accurate information obtained by "Nanmu Ballroom" a long time ago.

This news surprised Brad a little, and his last hope was probably shattered.

Odysseus added, "From now on, you must obey my orders. That way, I can at least guarantee your safety."

This was another purpose of his acting out that scene just now.
