Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 229 Recruiting the First Crew Member

Klein hadn't expected that "Mr. Gar" would actually take off his mask in front of him. They had dealt with each other several times in Backlund and had basically established mutual trust, but at that time, "Mr. Gar" had no intention of taking off his mask.

But after reaching the sea, he took off the mask so easily.

Furthermore, Mr. Garr's appearance and temperament exceeded Klein's expectations and imagination.

He originally thought that the boss behind the "Nanmu Ballroom", even if he didn't have a face full of flesh, must have the temperament of a "social man".

As a result, this person looked a bit like the college student who had just graduated in his impression, and seemed very easy-going.

The only thing that contradicted this feeling was his eyes, which looked like those of a time-tested warrior, calm and wise.

Danitz, who was standing aside, sighed: "I didn't expect this Mr. Bob to be such a young pretty boy. If I hadn't witnessed how powerful he was yesterday, he would have seemed like a very easygoing and kind person."

But when Odysseus said that he probably knew who German Sparrow was, the atmosphere at the table became a little strange.

Facing Klein's stern gaze, Odysseus smiled and said, "I had someone forge Gehrman Sparrow's ID.

"Well, to be exact, my friend received the commission, and I helped her find someone to forge it."

What he meant was: Bernadette received a commission from Miss Sharon and asked him to find someone to forge the documents.

After all, when they go out to sea later, they will fly the flag of "Dawn of the Elements", and he and Bernadette's superior-subordinate relationship cannot be concealed, so he told such a lie.

Klein understood it as follows: he had commissioned Miss Sharon to provide the documents, and Miss Sharon had asked "Mr. Gall" to forge the documents.

Although Klein misunderstood, he basically understood what Odysseus meant: it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out who was using Gehrman Sparrow's ID.

"Don't worry, I won't investigate further." Odysseus offered, "After all, everyone has a secret."

He smiled and said, "I just hope that when I take off the mask, we can communicate more openly."

Klein asked, "What do you want to communicate?"

"I'm forming a pirate group," Odysseus said, "and I hope to recruit a crew member from the 'Sailor' category."

Danitz thought to himself: Are you kidding me? Want to form a pirate group? We'd have to buy ships and cannons, which would be very troublesome.

Then he thought: Maybe this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea of the young man, and when he knows how much trouble it is, he will no longer think so.

Klein said calmly, "I'm not a Beyonder of this path."

"I know. I asked you to keep an eye on it for me." said Odysseus.

At this time, the lamb chops were served. Odysseus savored them with a knife and fork while thinking to himself: You may not imagine that there is a great fortune waiting for you in Bayam.

Although Klein doesn't know any extraordinary people of this path now, there should be such extraordinary people in the "Church of Poseidon" or the "Resistance Army".

It would be best to have a Beyonder of the "Sailor" Path on board, as the sea is their domain after all.

And through him, we can use the channels of the "Resistance Army".

However, as a reward, we will definitely have to rob some supplies from the rebels.

Klein hummed, "I'll keep an eye on it for you."

After finishing their business, the two began to chat, and occasionally Danitz would join in their conversation.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Odysseus wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up to say goodbye.

Klein politely stood up and saw him off. When he saw "Mr. Gar" go to the bathroom, he suddenly remembered that "The Hermit" had once sought to purchase a magical item with the ability to "travel" at a tarot meeting.

It seems that this was purchased through other channels.

Danitz noticed that after "Mr. Bob" said goodbye, he actually went into the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time. He asked, "Are the lamb chops not fresh today? Mr. Bob has an upset stomach."

Klein glanced at him without explaining anything.

……

Odysseus returned to the island of Lasha, took a short rest, and then began to teach the scholars.

Tomorrow they will start setting up the driving array for the large ship, and their work will not be as heavy as before.

Because Odysseus realized that it was impossible to make everyone understand the magic circle he designed in a short period of time, so he simply divided the magic circle into three parts, with four people learning each part.

This will greatly reduce their learning burden, and they will also be able to help Odysseus when setting up magic circles in the future.

In the evening, Odysseus's "Wizard Office" officially opened.

He turned on the lights, opened the door, lit some incense, and waited for the first customer to arrive.

Kent Blue Street is very busy at this time. Many people come here to tell fortunes, buy some herbs to prepare for mystical rituals, or buy some antiques as gifts, etc.

Whether it’s divination, occult rituals or antique shopping, it feels more reassuring under the cover of night.

This time, Odysseus did not dress up as a wizard, but wore normal Loen clothing.

He wanted to try it out. If he didn't play the role of a wizard, but inadvertently revealed that he was a wizard and gained the other person's trust, would this role be better?

While no customers came yet, Odysseus roughly calculated his current funds.

He recently earned 2100 from the Tarot Club, and earned another 1300 pounds last night. At noon today, not only was he treated to a meal, but he also received a thank-you fee of 72 pounds.

This made his savings exceed 4000 pounds again. Although he could not repay Bernadette's debt for the time being, it was much better than the previous period.

At least the "robot crew" can safely and boldly create a few more backups.

Just as he was thinking about this, Odysseus looked at the door and saw someone coming in.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who came in was Basel, whom he had met at noon.

Odysseus was stunned for a moment, but did not stand up. He just gestured: "Please sit down."

Basel carefully observed the furnishings in the house. The shop here only had one room. On the shelves against the wall inside, there were many glass jars containing various processed or unprocessed herbs.

In the room, there are several glass tanks with a group of fish swimming in them.

There are several beast skulls hanging on the wall, with holes where the eyes should be, giving the whole room a weird atmosphere.

Incense floats around the curtains, adding a touch of mystery to the room.

After making sure there was no danger in the room, Bazel sat down opposite Odysseus and asked, "What does a wizard agency do?"

Odysseus pointed to the door and said, "Didn't I write it on it? We specialize in handling all kinds of strange and bizarre matters." Bazel asked again, "Are you taking bounty missions?"

Odysseus leaned back in his chair, looked at Bazel with a smile for a while, then glanced outside: "Are you being followed?"

"Yes."

"Someone from the Red Lion Pirates?"

"Yes." Bazel was not surprised that the man in front of him knew his enemy. "This is the enemy I attracted, but I just realized that I misjudged the enemy. He is stronger than I thought, so I urgently need help."

Odysseus asked, "What good will I get from helping you?"

"There are about fifteen or sixteen of them, and four of them have bounties on their heads. The bounty on First Mate Sandora is 1800 pounds, the bounty on Captain Bowen, who recently joined the pirate group, is 1200 pounds, and the bounties on the two vice-captains are 800 pounds and 700 pounds respectively.

"We can split the bounty equally. Of course, you may have heard about the vampires in the navy. In the end, we can only get about 9% of the bounty."

This is already a good channel. Most of the time, you can only get about 8% of the bounty.

Odysseus nodded slowly. Based on the amount of the bounty, he roughly guessed that the enemy had about two Sequence 7s, two Sequence 8s, and a dozen ordinary people, or Sequence 9s.

For a Sequence 7 Briber, such an enemy is indeed difficult to deal with.

Originally, Basel thought that the previous assassination of the second mate of the "Red Lion Pirates" would only attract the first mate Sandora, but he did not expect that this time the "Red Lion" Taylor would be so ruthless that he sent all his capable assistants to encircle him.

It was too late to look for reinforcements at this time, so Basel thought of the boss of the "Wizard Office" whom he met at noon.

When he was fighting with the second mate of the "Red Lion" pirate group, he noticed this man and Rupert.

He knew Rupert, who was an adventurer with considerable strength. Theoretically, anyone who dared to watch the fun with Rupert should also be quite strong, so he decided to try his luck.

Odysseus smiled and said, "The bounty can be divided, but the characteristics belong to me."

Bazel was stunned. It was obvious that he was aware of the existence of Beyonder characteristics. However, in the previous battle, in order to escape from the battle as quickly as possible, he only took away the head of the second mate of the "Red Lion" pirate group.

After all, if you only take the head away, you can get the bounty.

However, if you want to obtain extraordinary characteristics, you will have to wait for a while.

Bazel hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."

"I have another request," Odysseus said, "to join the pirate group I'm forming."

Bazel frowned and said, "Sorry, I don't plan to join any pirate group anymore."

"Don't be so quick to refuse." Odysseus smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about this? It's actually very difficult to achieve revenge relying solely on your own strength.

"You are currently Sequence 7, and 'Red Lion' Taylor is Sequence 6. You can only kill those around him, but you can't harm Taylor.

"And if Taylor wanted to kill you or attack you, like today, he could easily corner you without even having to show up."

Without waiting for Bazel to refute, Odysseus continued, "I know what you want to say. You want to say you can still advance, but the problem is, if you can advance to Sequence 6, can't Taylor advance to Sequence 5?
"Besides, you should have noticed that without the help of a Beyonder Organization, it's extremely difficult to advance to Sequence 6. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy potion formulas and the main ingredients.

"But Taylor is different. Some clues indicate that he is a member of an extraordinary organization. If he wants to be promoted, it will be much easier than it is for you.

“Besides, even if you kill a group of his subordinates, he can just recruit more, and it will be difficult to really hurt him.

"And if you're not careful, you'll be killed by his subordinates.

"To be honest, I don't see any hope for revenge like this."

Basel's face was ashen. How could he not know this?
However, he always had a lucky hope, thinking that the "Red Lion" had no backing and that his strength would catch up with his sooner or later.

However, the man in front of him shattered his last bit of hope with his firm tone.

Odysseus did not urge them, because there were still many pedestrians outside, and the people from the "Red Lion" pirate group would not take action for a while.

Bazel thought about it for two minutes before asking, "Will you help me get revenge?"

"After the pirate group is established, I plan to hunt down a few 'big pirates' to establish my authority." Odysseus smiled and said, "There is no conflict between helping you to avenge my own goals."

"Aren't you afraid of the extraordinary organization behind the 'Red Lion' Tyrannosaurus?"

Odysseus spread his hands and said, "Who doesn't have a backer these days?"

Bazel thought for more than ten seconds before saying, "Give me some time, let me think about it."

"No problem. Come find me here when you've made up your mind." Odysseus smiled and said, "I may not be able to come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but I will definitely come here on Saturday or Sunday night."

Bazel nodded: "Okay."

Odysseus continued, "Now tell me what our enemies are capable of."

Bazel cleared his throat and said, “First Mate Shandora is a beautiful woman with the ability to become invisible, create black flames, and create frost.

“And he can use a mirror as a stand-in, making him very difficult to kill.

"Battle Captain..."

Odysseus nodded slowly. This was a "witch". The battle captain should be a "weapon master", and the two deputy captains were "angry people" and "provocatives".

The other members were all carrying guns, and neither Odysseus nor Bazel were known for their high defense, so it would be quite troublesome if they were fired at once.

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "Wait here for a moment. I have to make some preparations."

Having said this, he used the Travel Ring to temporarily leave and came to a secluded place on Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was, and took some extraordinary weapons and seals from the Wilderness of Knowledge.

When Basel of Kent Blue Street saw the illusory door, he was stunned for a moment before realizing that there was indeed an extraordinary organization behind him.

Basel had been on the sea for many years and had certainly heard of the ability to "travel".

This kind of magical item cannot be bought with money.

Soon, Odysseus came back with a cloth bag on his back: "There's no point in waiting like this. Let's take the initiative."

He smiled faintly: "Let's lure them into the woods on the outskirts and have a good fight."

Bazel had already prepared for a fierce battle, so he nodded, followed Odysseus out, stopped a taxi, and drove towards the suburbs.

Soon, they saw two hired carriages catching up with them.
