Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 228 Lunch with Gehrman Sparrow

After a few small talk, Odysseus and Bernadette gradually got to the point of their conversation.

Bernadette crossed her legs and said, “What happened tonight reminded me of some rumors I’ve heard before.

“It is said that when the Loen people first occupied Bansi Port, strange things often happened.

"What impressed me most was the 'strange distress signal'. At that time, there were no wireless telegraphs. On an island, information was mainly transmitted through campfires and lantern language.

“For a while, on the top of a mountain not far from Bansi Harbor, a light signaling ‘help’ would appear every night.

"Because this light language is only understood by the people of Loen, the local garrison immediately sent people to rescue them, but those people never returned.

"And at night, the light language will reappear."

Odysseus said, "I have heard some similar stories."

“This is not a story.” Bernadette leaned back on the sofa: “Cyril said that many old people in Bansy Harbor have seen the light language.

"Of course, they're not the old people who lived to the present day when Loon first occupied Bansi Island. Instead, they're the ones whose light language appears every once in a while, or even several times in a row."

Odysseus understood: "In other words, the official Beyonders haven't found the reason why the light language appears."

Bernadette nodded: "That's understandable."

"I've heard some rumors, too," Odysseus said. "During the Fourth Epoch, a family of angels left the Northern Continent for some reason. They seem to be hiding in Bansy Harbor."

Bernadette repeated Odysseus' words: "Angel Family."

Then she took a deep breath, as if something suddenly clicked in her head: "No wonder there's more than one high-level opponent on that island."

Bernadette paused and then explained, “The man in the yellow hat is a demigod.

"I fought with him before. His condition was a little strange, and the main extraordinary ability he used was from the Hunter pathway.

“But it seems that he also possesses some abilities from the ‘Death God’ and ‘Witch’ paths.

"I can understand the abilities of the 'Witch' path, after all, he may have switched paths, but why does he also possess abilities similar to those of the 'Death God' path?"

This reminded Odysseus of the "witch" he met in the suburbs of Backlund, who was related to the evil god of the starry sky.

The abilities bestowed by the evil god are a bit like the combination of multiple paths.

Odysseus pinched his temple with his hand: Theoretically speaking, the descendants of Medici were only contaminated by the "source", could they have fallen to the point of worshiping evil gods?
It was just a little beyond his "memories".

Bernadette concluded, "This island is more dangerous than you think. Don't try to investigate."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Of course not."

He had just hinted that there were descendants of the "Angel Family" in Bansy Harbor, mainly because he was worried that Bernadette would investigate.

Odysseus then took out the Beyonder that he and Klein had captured: "Because you helped us recover this trophy, we all agreed that we should give you a share of the spoils."

Bernadette didn't refuse, but was a little surprised: "The other party seems to trust you very much."

They actually let a stranger handle the spoils.

Odysseus smiled and said, "I have worked with him before."

The "Mysterious Queen" said "Oh" and thought to herself: So that's it.

Then she said, "You can sell me this Beyonder. How about 3900 pounds? That's a good price."

"If you agree, I'll give you 2600 pounds directly, and you two can divide the money."

"No problem." Odysseus smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to offer such a good price."

If it were in Intis or the Feysac Empire, this feature would definitely sell for four to five thousand pounds!

Of course, although they did not use gold pounds, they would need to pay four to five thousand pounds of the same value in their own currency to obtain this extraordinary characteristic.

On the sea, the most popular traits are those from the "Sailor" path. As for the traits from the "Hunter" path, they might normally sell for less than £3900.

Bernadette suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I have my own way of making money."

And she can make a lot of money.

Odysseus nodded slowly. It was said that many large organizations used this price difference to earn operating funds.

As the former princess of Intis, Bernadette should have some connections in Intis.

Odysseus gave Bernadette his extraordinary characteristics on the spot. The two chatted about shipbuilding, and then Odysseus went back to make some preparations.

He will be very busy tomorrow. He originally planned to rest early tonight, but he didn't expect to go to Bansi Port. Fortunately, everything went well and it did not affect tomorrow's schedule.

Just as he was about to rest, The Fool suddenly informed him to prepare for the bestowal ceremony.

Through the ceremony, Odysseus obtained the main ingredient of another potion, "the eyes of the gnome". They were a pair of eyes with larger pupils, smaller than human eyes, but very bright, as if they were still staring at Odysseus.

Now that all the main ingredients were ready, Odysseus took a deep breath. He had to open the "Wizard's Office" tomorrow night and try to digest the last bit of potion as quickly as possible.

……

Backlund, Morning Street, Cherwood District, the new residence of Hugh Dilcher and Fors.

After getting dressed in the early morning, Xio went out to look for new tasks and earn bounties. She first habitually checked her mailbox.

Seeing a package lying inside, Xio quickly took it out. Just like the letter from the "leader" before, it only had the recipient's name written on it, but not the sender's name.

Xio took the letter and hurried back to the room.

After opening the package, there was indeed a letter from the "leader" inside, and the code word agreed upon beforehand also matched, so it was indeed a letter from the "leader".

In the letter, the "leader" told Xio that the last gathering had some extraordinary characteristics that the members needed, and he had collected them all, so a new round of gatherings could be held.

Not only that, the "leader" also wrote in the letter detailed precautions and other things to note during the first gathering.

Xio read it carefully and took a deep breath. Although she felt a little nervous just thinking about it, this was the first task of the "leader" and according to the agreement between the two of them, she could not refuse.

Fortunately, the "leader"'s guidance was meticulous, which gradually gave her the confidence to host the party well.

So today's plan needs to be changed. The most important thing now is to place an advertisement for the party in the Backlund Post.

Just as Xio was about to go out again, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he stepped back and carefully checked the package.

Although she did not find any signs of anyone touching the package, as a "sheriff", her spirituality was enough to determine that someone had checked it before she got it.

The person who checked the package should be an official Beyonder of the Mechanical Heart.

But Xio didn't care too much. It would be strange if the "Mechanical Heart" didn't monitor him.

...Raging Sea, Bayam, Kent Blue Street.

Odysseus hired five local workers to help him set up his store.

The furniture and signs were delivered, and Odysseus bought some green plants and put up some curtains, draperies, etc. to dim the light in the room.

At the same time, he also added many local characteristics and bought some tropical fish near the Raging Sea.

The shop is big enough and the rent is not very expensive. Odysseus also left a large open space for future use.

While he was directing the arrangement of the fish tank, he felt something spiritual. Looking back, he saw a beardless young man in his twenties looking at him.

Odysseus recognized the other person at a glance. It was Basil Ryan.

When he first came to Bayam, he happened to witness a revenge battle, and the one who launched the revenge attack was this Bazel.

Although he was disguised at the time, had a long beard, and his face was obviously different from today, Odysseus recognized him at a glance with the help of his spiritual power.

Bazel obviously recognized Odysseus, because when the battle started, all the passers-by ran away, leaving only two spectators, and Odysseus was one of them.

Another is the story-loving adventurer, Rupert Sean.

When Basel was evacuating, he took a special look at Odysseus and Rupert. Odysseus was not wearing a mask today, and his disguise was similar to that day. The other party should be able to recognize him easily.

Odysseus smiled kindly at the other party, and Bazel nodded slightly, and the two men greeted each other.

After the other party left, Odysseus continued to direct the decoration of the store. He noticed from the corner of his eye that two people were following Basel.

Someone from the "Red Lion" pirate group?

Odysseus didn't intend to delve into it. The most important thing at the moment was to digest the potion and advance as quickly as possible.

Just two weeks ago, he was not so enthusiastic about the promotion. First of all, he was restricted by the "Mechanical Heart" at that time, and it was not a good thing to advance too quickly.

Secondly, he was afraid that after being promoted to "Scroll Professor", he would be given special care by the "Hidden Sage" and would be frequently "instilled with knowledge".

But now he is not afraid anymore, because in addition to completely submitting to Bernadette, Odysseus also has the support of the "Goddess of Night".

Protected by the goddess's "hidden" power, Odysseus estimated that it would be difficult for the "Hidden Sage" to target him specifically. At most, he could only temporarily detect his location when he was promoted.

So now, Odysseus is no longer afraid of promotion.

It was already noon when the "Wizard's Office" was simply decorated.

Odysseus paid the workers, went to an empty corner of the street, put on the mask that the "chief" had worn, and used the "travel ring" to enter the "spiritual world".

He had observed the White Onyx up close, and the ship had no protection against divination, so it would be easy to find it from the spirit world.

When leaving the spirit world, Odysseus appeared in the bathroom of the passenger ship.

After opening the bathroom door, he followed his spiritual guidance and saw Klein, the stern Gehrman Sparrow, preparing to have lunch in the first-class restaurant.

And Danitz, who was disguised but could be recognized at a glance.

At the same time, Odysseus, wearing a mask, has attracted the attention of the sailors, and someone has gone to inform the captain.

"Mr. Bob!" Donna was the first to discover Odysseus.

The Urdi family also stood up and greeted them.

To them, everything that happened last night was like a dream.

Odysseus smiled slightly and raised his hand: "Hello. Hello everyone!"

As he spoke, he sat across from Klein and picked up the menu. "What's good to eat here?"

Donna at another table whispered to her brother Denton, "Did the boat dock this morning?"

Denton shook his head seriously: "No."

Donna looked surprised. "Then when did Mr. Bob, who didn't get on the boat with us last night, get on board?"

The two children's eyes immediately lit up and they secretly observed "Mr. Bob".

At Klein's table, Klein, who was playing the role of an adventurer, said, "The lobster here is good."

Danitz, standing by, felt a little pained because he had to pay the bill every time he ate with Gehrman Sparrow.

Judging from the look of "Bob", he is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to pay for a meal.

Odysseus sighed, "I've been eating seafood almost every day lately."

Danitz suggested, "You can try the vegetable soup here."

"It's too light." In the end, Odysseus ordered grilled fish and grilled lamb chops.

Danitz had already given up resisting. Grilled fish wasn't very expensive, but grilled lamb chops were one of the most expensive dishes in the restaurant.

At this time, Captain Ireland came to the restaurant. He smiled and said, "I heard from my subordinates that a masked man suddenly appeared in the restaurant. I knew it must be you."

He came to the table where Odysseus and the others were sitting and said, "I'll treat you to this meal as a thank you for your help last night."

When Danitz heard the captain of the White Agate say this, he thought to himself: Isn't this guy Ellan pretty good?

At the same time, he planned to treat himself to a plate of foie gras and a bottle of good wine later, since someone was treating him anyway.

Odysseus did not refuse: "Thank you."

Then he said, "I'll have lunch here, chat with German Sparrow for a few minutes, and then leave."

Ai Erlan breathed a sigh of relief: "Go ahead."

After Ellan left, Odysseus gave Klein a small cloth bag and said, "This is your share of the reward. The total sales were 3900 pounds, 1300 pounds each for us."

Danitz, standing by, was stunned: So fast, so many!
Klein opened the cloth bag, ran his fingers through it, and briefly counted it. After confirming that everything was correct, he pulled out a stack of money from his pocket and counted out 72 pounds. "This is a thank-you gift from the Uldi and Dimodo families. Half for each."

Klein believed that if Odysseus hadn't been there yesterday, it would have been difficult for him to bring so many people back to the White Agate by himself.

As for Danitz, Klein had already taken out two 5-pound notes and gave them to him.

What Klein didn't know was that if Mr. Gar hadn't suddenly appeared, they wouldn't have encountered the evil god of Bansy Harbor when they left!
Odysseus did not refuse. After taking the money, he took off his mask and prepared to enjoy the lamb chops he ordered.

Klein looked at Odysseus seriously: He didn't expect "Mr. Gar" to be so young, and he didn't have the aura of a "social big brother" at all.

Odysseus picked up his knife and fork and smiled, "The reason I took off my mask is because I roughly know who you are."
