Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 178 A new customer arrives
In Odysseus's view, the effect of extraordinary weapons has always been unexpected, which is something that ordinary weapons cannot match.

For example, the "Flame Arrow" he made costs more than a submachine gun, but people still buy the "Flame Arrow" instead of a submachine gun.

The reason was simple: a Beyonder could go out with the "Flaming Arrow" and walk on the streets of Backlund.

But no one dared to go out with a submachine gun!
If you really do this, you will be arrested before you can walk two blocks.

Even if a battle occurs in the wild, the "Flame Arrow" can better hide its power, and the person carrying a submachine gun is likely to be the first to be killed.

This is the true value of extraordinary weapons.

For other members, these weapons of the "Hermit" are very powerful and have a wide range of uses.

After hearing the Hermit mention the extraordinary weapon in the form of a javelin, Alger, the Hanged Man, was about to ask a question, but Audrey, the Justice, spoke first, "I've seen someone use such a weapon!"

"Hermit" Odysseus smiled and said, "That's the Lelouch you mentioned before, right?"

Audrey was slightly stunned: "Yes, yes."

Even the "magician" Fors was confused: Was the "Hermit" the "leader"? Or Lelouch? Or both?
Odysseus smiled generously and said, "I have several regular clients in Backlund, and Lelouch is one of them."

Audrey immediately asked, "Where is Lelouch now? Has he not been captured by the official Beyonders?"

Odysseus said, "I only know that he wasn't caught by the official Beyonders."

This is the truth, and Audrey is not afraid of observing it.

But to Audrey and the other members, it sounded like the "Hermit" was saying: I just sold extraordinary weapons to Lelouch, and I don't know his whereabouts.

Audrey said "Oh" in a somewhat disappointed tone.

Fors recalled: I remember the "leader" once said that he had just "acquired" a new weapon called "Thunderstorm Bomb," not a newly crafted weapon. It seemed that the "leader" was one of the buyers of "The Hermit."

The reason why she believed this so firmly was that the "leader" was not a craftsman and, theoretically, did not have the ability to create extraordinary weapons.

But Klein the Fool was not fooled by the Hermit's answer. His confidence came from the Fortune Teller's inspiration. When he interacted with Mr. Gar, he always felt very familiar.

It was only in recent days that he thought that this sense of familiarity might have come from the Tarot Club.

After the topic of Lelouch ended, Alger asked, "How much do you plan to sell the javelin for?"

"Also 50 pounds," Odysseus replied.

Alger nodded. The price was within his acceptable range. "I'll order from you when I need it."

"It's best to order in advance," Odysseus said, "It takes some time to make."

"Okay, I understand." Alger agreed.

Then Odysseus mentioned extraordinary weapons such as the "Extraordinary Incendiary Bomb" and the "Flame Bomb". Everyone found them very novel, but only "Sun" Derrick ordered a "Thunderstorm Bomb" and an "Ice and Snow Bomb".

Odysseus was not in a hurry. After all, these weapons were too powerful. He himself did not dare to use them recklessly in Backlund. His current target customers were only Alger and Derrick.

Once Klein goes to sea, there will be another target customer.

The transaction of the extraordinary weapons was completed, and the trading session of this Tarot Club ended here, and entered the free communication session.

"Little Sun" was the first to say, "I've been assigned another exploration mission and will be leaving in four days."

He paused and continued, "Let's explore the half-destroyed temple of the Fallen Creator. This time, the Chief will lead the team himself."

Alger, the Hanged Man, said, "This way, the danger level is much lower than last time. We can give it a try."

Derrick nodded, then asked, "What should I pay attention to during this exploration?"

The Fool at the head of the long bronze table suddenly spoke, "Flesh and blood, ravings."

Klein only gave two words, leaving the rest of the Tarot Club members to comprehend them on their own.

Alger thought seriously for a few seconds, then said to the "Sun" who had thanked Mr. Fool, "Specifically, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, don't eat what you shouldn't eat, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch."

Odysseus nodded slowly: "Overthrow the Political Commissar" really lived up to everyone's expectations. I wonder how he heard that "The Fool" had these intentions?

Derrick took note of it carefully and thanked him, "Mr. The Hanged Man, thank you for your interpretation."

After a while of further discussion, Klein announced the end of this Tarot Club.

……

No. 66, Qiangwei Changjie.

Odysseus returned to the real world and stared at the ceiling for a while as usual before getting up to prepare for the bestowal ceremony.

He soon received 800 pounds in cash and a belt ring with an ancient shape covered with rust and moss. This was Silver City's gratitude to the "Hermit".

Odysseus waited for a while before putting the cash and belt ring into the "Wildness of Knowledge" and entered the "Wildness of Knowledge" using "meditation".

Coming to the "Central Simulator", Odysseus picked up the belt ring with one hand and placed the other hand on the spherical "Central Simulator". At this moment, he learned about its abilities and negative effects.

It corresponds to Sequence 6 "Biologist" of the "Tillage" pathway, and its abilities are: it can heal various traumas and sudden illnesses; it can understand the various characteristics of organisms by simply using the seal; and it can hybridize organisms.

Odysseus smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

Now, as long as he has enough experimental fields, he can cultivate a variety of excellent seeds.

The specific method is to use this seal to carry out hybridization, and then use scientific methods to grow seedlings and pollinate to stabilize the biological genes.

The negative effects of this seal are relatively minor: each use will cause signs of poisoning, including nausea, retching, dizziness, and in severe cases, incontinence. The severity of the poisoning depends on the duration of use. These symptoms will gradually subside after cessation of use; a single use time cannot exceed 20 minutes, otherwise the poisoning will result in death; there is no antidote to alleviate the symptoms of poisoning.

Odysseus believed that by wearing it for only a short time each time, he could avoid the negative effects of the seal.

Because this sealed object will definitely be used in the future, the next step is to name it, which is the most headache-inducing part for Odysseus.

He racked his brains for a long time and finally decided to call it "biological waist ring"!
Back in the real world, in the evening, Odysseus received another batch of "gifts", which were Sequence 9 level extraordinary materials provided by "Sun" Derrick.

Odysseus provided two extraordinary weapons and owed Derrick 880 pounds.

Now that we have extraordinary materials, we must hold an occult research meeting. After all, we haven't had a meeting for more than a week.

Odysseus wrote a letter to Kena, asking him to place an advertisement in the Backlund Post. As for the advertising fee, he could just get it from the herbal medicine shop counter.

Odysseus had the driver of a rented carriage deliver the letter, which would arrive tonight. The advertisement would be posted tomorrow, and the gathering would take place the morning after tomorrow. After finishing all this, Odysseus had an early dinner and then entered the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to study the magic circles recorded from the ruins of the Trunsost Empire.

As the saying goes, one can draw inferences from one instance to another. This knowledge gave him some new ideas about magic circles. After organizing these ideas, he completed this week's research.

After a good sleep, the next morning, Odysseus studied witchcraft as usual while waiting for new customers to come.

Ding ding ding ding~
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the doorbell rang.

Odysseus picked up the wooden staff and went to open the door. Outside the door was a man about thirty years old. He was dressed neatly but a little worn. He held his hat in both hands and looked a little embarrassed.

After seeing Odysseus, he immediately bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Mr. Wizard, I...I need your help with something."

"Come in and talk," said Odysseus.

He went to the sofa and sat down first. After the other person sat down, he asked, "What's the matter?"

I don't know if the other party was nervous or embarrassed to speak, as if he didn't know where to start.

Odysseus then reminded: "What strange thing has happened to you?"

"Yes, yes, I encountered a very strange thing." The man said, "But please keep it a secret for me."

Odysseus said "hmm" as a response.

"My name is Darren," the other party introduced himself, "I own a bakery, and business is pretty good.

“Usually I make the bread and my wife Henna sells it at the store.

"But just three days ago, Henna felt unwell after selling bread to a customer."

He spoke more and more smoothly: "I didn't take it too seriously at the time, so I asked Haina to rest first and went to sell bread myself.

"But in the evening, my daughter came to me and said, 'Mom is acting strangely.

"I quickly went back to take a look..."

When Darren said this, he took a deep breath and said, "Henna...Henna's skin has become somewhat illusory! I can actually see her muscles and blood vessels!"

Odysseus was stunned. "The skin has become illusory? Is your wife feeling unwell?"

"She just felt a little dizzy and retching!" Darren said. "She was terrified and trembling!"

Odysseus pinched the long beard on his chin and said, "This happened three days ago. So, have the dizziness and other discomforts become more and more severe in the past two days?"

Darren said, "Although I still feel dizzy and retching, it's not serious."

He smiled wryly, "But in the past two days, her skin has become completely invisible. Then her muscles became illusory, and now they are almost gone."

Odysseus did not speak, but searched for relevant knowledge in his mind, but in the end he found that he could not even explain what was going on.

After Darren told everything, he finally stopped being nervous and embarrassed. He continued, "I didn't dare let Haina go out these past few days, and asked her to wrap herself in clothes, gloves and a hood to avoid scaring the child.

"But...but this isn't a solution. What if Henna disappears completely?
"In the past two years, business has just started to pick up, and our lives are getting better and better..."

Darren, whose eyes turned red, realized that he seemed to have gone off topic. After a pause, he continued, "I live on Longst Street. I heard about your deeds, so I came to ask for your help."

Odysseus nodded slowly. The sister of the street vendor selling Dipsy pies lived on Longster Street. Darren must have heard the story of the wizard saving the little boy.

This made him sigh: I have become famous in some places. I wonder if the official Beyonders outside of "Mechanical Heart" will target me?
Then Odysseus asked, "You didn't go to the church to ask for help?"

Darren was slightly taken aback before he said, "No, I'm afraid they won't really help us."

Odysseus nodded, understanding that the other party meant that he was afraid that his wife would be captured as a monster.

At this time, Odysseus somewhat understood the helplessness of ordinary people when encountering extraordinary events. They had no knowledge of the extraordinary, and they must be afraid and dared not ask for help.

At this time, wizards without official identities will become the ones they turn to for help.

But this time Odysseus was in trouble because he didn't know what was going on.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Can your wife eat and excrete normally?"

"Yes." Darren said, "Maybe because she was frightened, she ate less."

Odysseus said "hmm", so it's not a curse.

He paused and asked, "Tell me in detail about the customer your wife served before."

"That was a woman." Darren said, "Henna said she was a very beautiful and elegant woman.

"She had her own carriage and personal maid, and it was always the maid who bought the bread and paid for it. She was just looking around curiously."

Odysseus asked again: "Is there anything special about her clothes, jewelry, or anything else?"

"I, I'm not sure."

Odysseus was silent for a while before he said, “I need to ask your wife some questions in person and try some methods to see if I can solve the problem.

"If I can't solve the problem, be sure to inform the church. That might be your last chance to save your wife."

In the end, he decided to go and take a look, hoping to use his knowledge and experience to solve the problem.

"Okay...ok." Although Darren looked a little reluctant, he still agreed.

"You go out and wait for me first. I'll make some preparations."

Darren immediately got up and went out the door.

Odysseus prepared some spiritual materials, then called a taxi and went to Longster Street with Darren.

As Darren paid for the fare, Odysseus glanced at the house in front of him.

It is surrounded by a residential area, with evenly distributed buildings ranging from two to five stories, which look somewhat dilapidated.

On the way here, Odysseus had learned that most of the residents here could solve the problem of food and clothing, and were almost middle class, but still a little short of it.

Under Darren's guidance, Odysseus entered an alley, passed by several playing children, and came to the second floor of a residential building, where he met Hena.

At this time, not only did Henna's skin disappear, but her muscles also disappeared.
In front of Odysseus was a skeleton!
