Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 173 Monday Tarot Club Time

Odysseus didn't have any good ideas about Bernadette's problem.

This issue can only be discussed here.

"Now there's only one question left," Odysseus said. "How did the people from the 'Moss Ascetic Order' discover the ruins? What actions did they take there?"

"I will continue to follow them." Bernadette said.

Then she continued, "The ruins are huge and have advanced anti-divination equipment. My 'prophecy' will be ineffective there."

And the other party also has demigods, so you have to be careful when tracking them.

Odysseus smiled and said, "Perhaps the actions of the Moss Ascetic Order are not directed at us."

"Maybe so." Bernadette said seriously, "But I have to find out what they are doing."

Odysseus did not continue to persuade him, but touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry after being active for a long time. I'll make some noodles.

"Would you like some too?"

Bernadette was stunned for a moment before she said, "Okay."

There was some meat left over from tonight, so Odysseus cut it into shreds and then picked some vegetables and washed them.

Bernadette picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "You seem to be very familiar with the kitchen."

"Because Backlund's food is hard to swallow," Odysseus said, "It's all steak, lamb chops, roast chicken, foie gras, seafood soup, and the like.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of goose liver, I can also make stewed goose. I'd like to treat you to a meal someday."

In Odysseus's opinion, goose offal must be stir-fried and spicy enough to be delicious, and he always feels that offal is not as delicious as meat.

Odysseus skillfully stir-fried the shredded pork. "Later, I started to learn how to cook. I also studied some Intis dishes, but I've improved them a bit. I'll treat you to some food someday."

The so-called improvement is basically to "improve" some of the Intis dishes "invented" by Emperor Roselle.

After Odysseus had eaten Intis's food several times, he was almost certain that the emperor had not studied the concept of "eating" much before traveling through time.

Therefore, the dishes "invented" by the emperor always make people feel a little out of place.

Bernadette smiled and said, "Okay, now that you mention it, I'm starting to look forward to it."

After the meat was fried, Odysseus simply stir-fried the vegetables, then added water and waited for the water to boil.

Bernadette had never made noodles before, and she didn't know how the way Odysseus made noodles differed from the way other countries in the Northern Continent made noodles.

The scene in the kitchen and the content of the conversation just now triggered memories that seemed very distant to her.

She remembered that the man she had been looking for, or her father, always complained at the dinner table that the food was too bad, and then swore that the food he cooked was ten thousand times more delicious than here.

One day, he actually went to the kitchen and ended up making a few dishes that didn’t look or taste very good.

He said somewhat embarrassedly that he had rarely been in the kitchen. He understood the theory of cooking, but the results were not satisfactory.

However, when the ministers learned about this, they praised those dishes and added them to Intis's cuisine.

Bernadette took a deep breath. Looking back now, those dishes were truly delicious.

"Aren't men who can cook very handsome?" Odysseus said with a smile as he went downstairs. "This is the first time I've seen you look so affectionate."

Bernadette smiled and said, "It's just that this scene makes me feel very warm."

After saying the word "warmth", Bernadette was shocked, and then she realized that she was the "Mysterious Queen" and the leader of the "Dawn of the Elements"!

How can you show such an attitude?
Odysseus didn't take it too seriously: "Maybe the taste of life touched you."

The noodles were almost cooked, so he started to serve them.

Bernadette was slightly stunned, feeling that this sentence seemed to be very meaningful. At the same time, she noticed that her spirituality was very lively at this time.

After a little thought, she realized that her "humanity" seemed to have been promoted to some extent, and the divinity that had always been under her control seemed to have become more obedient.

"Be careful, it's hot." Odysseus handed over a large bowl of noodles.

Bernadette caught it subconsciously, then came to her senses. She didn't know why she was so easily distracted just now.

When they got to the table, Bernadette asked, "How do you eat?"

Noodle soup and noodles are together, how should we eat them?
Odysseus brought four forks and gave two to Bernadette: "Eat it this way."

He held a fork in each hand, and then used two forks to scoop the noodles from the soup, blew on them, and put them into his mouth.

This is the alternative to chopsticks that Odysseus found.

He had been under strict surveillance and of course was not allowed to use tableware such as chopsticks, so he had to eat noodles like this.

Bernadette also learned how to eat from Odysseus. She found that the noodles with soup were particularly smooth and refreshing, and the soup contained meat and vegetables, which was also very delicious. It actually made her have some appetite.

After eating a bowl of shredded pork noodles and drinking the hot noodle soup, Odysseus said contentedly, "It's still more comfortable to eat this way."

The way to eat Feneport noodles is similar to the mixed noodles that Odysseus remembered. At first, it seemed very fresh and delicious, but after eating it a few times, I felt that it was far inferior to the soup noodles.

Bernadette praised: "You are very talented in cooking."

Odysseus thought to himself: This seems to be a common stunt of "Eastern travelers", no, except for the Emperor.

After having supper, the two drank tea and talked about the city of Backlund, the situation in the northern continent, the colonies, and the bloody sacrifices in the southern continent.

After chatting for a long time and drinking two pots of tea, Bernadette finally said goodbye.

After seeing off the "Mysterious Queen", Odysseus planned to wash the dishes tomorrow. He glanced at the wall clock and found that it was already past three in the morning.

Odysseus yawned, feeling that he didn't feel how much time had passed.

Then he understood: chatting with knowledgeable people, or more precisely, with beautiful and knowledgeable people, is a pleasure.

That night, Odysseus did not sleep well because he drank too much tea and kept wanting to go to the bathroom while he was sleeping.

By the morning, the bloating had gone, so he slept until about ten o'clock and decided not to go out that morning.

Odysseus went out to buy some food and then had a meal that was not sure whether it was lunch or breakfast.

In the afternoon, he continued to write "The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft" and lay down in the armchair at around two o'clock.

At exactly three o'clock, Odysseus's vision was covered by gray fog, and he appeared beside the mottled bronze long table in the Giant Hall.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!" Audrey's greeting always sounded so pleasant.

While greeting, Audrey observed the other members as usual. She soon noticed that the "magician" Fors seemed a little worried. Could it be that she had encountered some difficulties?
However, at the beginning of the Tarot Club, there was a diary sacrifice and Mr. Fool's reading session. Audrey noticed that Fors's concerns were not that urgent, so she said, "Dear Mr. Fool, I have obtained three new pages of Russell's diary."

This is the diary she saw from the "Psychological Alchemy Society". After she finishes "studying" it, she will send it back.

Klein the Fool smiled and asked, "What reward do you want?"

"I have something I want to ask you in private." Audrey lowered her head slightly.

"Okay." Klein waved his hand, blocking the senses of the other members.

Audrey said, "I received a secret message that the Psychological Alchemist Society was originally established after they unearthed a relic related to Hermes.

"Mr. Fool, is this true?"

Klein breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew the answer to this question: "Yes."

Then he explained with a smile: "Although the Psychological Alchemist Society is not an ancient organization, I know Hermes."

Hermes was also a member of the Twilight Hermits, and Russell had had interactions with him before.

Audrey was slightly stunned: Mr. Fool knows ancient figures like Hermes... That's right, after all, Mr. Fool is an ancient god.

Then she realized another problem: "This is Hermes... No, I remember Mr. Hermit said that he was a figure from the Second Age!

"How could he possibly influence the people of the Fifth Epoch and establish a secret organization?"

Klein kept smiling and didn't answer the question.

Because he knew that the establishment of the "Psychological Alchemy Society" was related to Hermes, but he didn't know whether this was arranged by that old man.

The Fool's reaction made Audrey think: Mr. Fool meant this was obvious! Perhaps Hermes shouldn't be called 'he' but 'Him'! He's an angel, with a long lifespan, and he can influence the people of the Fifth Epoch! Therefore, the Psychological Alchemist Society can be considered an organization closely related to Hermes.

Seeing Miss Justice's increasingly serious expression, Klein knew he didn't need to say anything more. She had already figured out the answer to the question in her head.

After a few seconds, Audrey seemed to come to her senses and said, "Thank you for your answer. I have no questions anymore."

Klein nodded slowly, lifting the blockade on everyone's senses.

Audrey quickly materialized three pages of a yellow-brown diary and passed them to Mr. Fool.

Next came Mr. Fool's reading time. After about seven or eight minutes, Klein said to everyone, "Begin."

Fors asked first, "Everyone, if... well, I mean, if, if you take an extra dose of Sequence 9 potion, do you also need to give birth to a child to expel the excess Beyonder characteristics in your body?"

When they talked about the Ancient Gods last week, they had just discussed that they could use childbirth to eliminate the excess Beyonder characteristics in their bodies.

The other members were stunned at first, then immediately realized that Miss Magician had taken an extra dose of Sequence 9 potion.

"Hermit" Odysseus: In that case, Fors has established a close enough connection with the Abraham family.

Klein thought: It seems that Miss Magician has passed the test of the Abraham family, but the price is that she took an extra dose of magic potion.

Audrey almost covered her face: This is my problem too.

Coincidentally, she had just gone through the test of the "Psychological Alchemy Society". She lied that she was already a "spectator", so she took an extra dose of the "mind reader" potion.

She had originally wanted to consult Mr. Hermit privately during the Tarot Club's transaction, but she hadn't expected Fors to ask just that.

After a brief silence in the hall, Odysseus asked, "How is your current condition? Are you showing any signs of losing control?"

"There's no sign of losing control, and he's in good condition," Fors replied.

Odysseus nodded and asked knowingly, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been taking your first dose of Sequence 9 potion for quite some time, right?"

Fors replied vaguely, "Several years."

"That's not a big problem," Odysseus said. "At 'low sequence', that is, Sequence 8 and Sequence 9, as long as you are in good condition and take more potions, you can continue to 'act' and those potions will be 'digested'.

"Once the potion is completely 'digested', there will be no problem.

"Since you're in good condition, don't think about having children for now. After all, Beyonder traits at this level only have a certain probability of being passed on to offspring, and you have no way of controlling whether your Beyonder traits are passed on to your offspring.

“Then you might have to have three or four children before the extra trait is eliminated.

"In that case, it's better to just focus on digesting the potions. Once all the potions are digested, it won't affect your continued advancement."

Three or four children...

Fors had already made up her mind. She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Hermit, thank you for your answer."

Then just continue digesting the potion and stop thinking about having a baby.

Klein couldn't help but think: "Miss Magician," if you plan to solve your problem by having children, you can tell your children in the future, "You were born from drinking a magic potion!"
At this time, Audrey asked again, "Mr. Hermit, if I take too much Sequence 8 potion, will I also use 'digestion' to deal with this problem?"

Klein almost facepalmed. "Do both young ladies have the same problem? Why am I already seeing the prototype of a kindergarten?"
Although Alger, the "Hanged Man," remained silent, he roughly understood what was going on. He smiled faintly: "What a coincidence!"

Odysseus then recalled that Audrey had a similar experience, so he continued, "Yes, as long as there are no signs of loss of control, you can continue to 'digest' the potion."

He paused and continued, "You may not have thought about this question. If the Beyonder characteristic is not shattered, then it is a collection of a series of sequence potions.

"So when a Beyonder uses Beyonder characteristics to advance, he or she will have taken at least one more potion.

"For example, if a Sequence 7 uses a special ability to advance to Sequence 6, then it's equivalent to not only taking a Sequence 6 potion, but also a Sequence 7 to Sequence 9 potion.

"The usual approach is to digest the Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 potions again, rather than having a child, because that would take too long to resolve the problem."

Audrey and Fors suddenly realized something and wondered why they hadn't thought of this before.
