Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 234 Captain Gal's Official Background

Backlund, outside No. 66 Rose Street, a demigod from MI, after receiving a report from his subordinates, arrived here in person, ready to stake out Odysseus.

As a result, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xio came again to take away the reward and briefing, and headed to the East District to do bounty missions as usual.

The demigod was unable to react for a moment, and several important figures in MI66 were also asking themselves: Why did Hugh Dilcha leave the reward and briefing at Rose Street and then take them away?

Soon they realized that they had been tricked by their "leader".

The "leader" must have asked her to do this, with the purpose of letting "MI9" send people to wait, but then Xiu took those things away in front of everyone.

They even seemed to see the smug face of the "leader": You have been cheated, I had no intention of taking these things at all.

But although the people in "MI9" were angry, they were also helpless, because Hugh was not only an informant of "MI9", but was also currently protected by the "Mechanical Heart" and became the new convener of the Occult Research Society.

It is also of great benefit to MI9 that Hugh becomes the convener. They certainly will not disrupt the current situation, so they cannot interrogate Hugh.

The demigod could only leave with some reluctance, but he believed that Odysseus might also take away the reward and briefing, so he asked the two Sequence 5s to continue to monitor carefully.

They were indeed monitoring very carefully, especially since Hugh was a little abnormal that night and took a rented carriage to go to the church to pray. They immediately mobilized more people to pay attention to Hugh's every move.

However, they only monitored the rented carriage that Xio was riding in normally, and gave up the surveillance after finding nothing unusual.

……

Backlund, in a dark corner of a certain street.

Odysseus suddenly appeared here from the illusory door, and then he took out a black iron ring and put it on.

This is the sealed object I got from killing a member of the "Aurora Society" when I first started playing the role of a "Wizard" last year.

It can make him transform into a shadow and hide in the "darkness".

As for the negative effects, they are barely acceptable if used for a short period of time.

Using the "Travel Ring" again, Odysseus appeared in the corner outside the church where he had made an appointment with Xio.

At this time, he was blessed by the "Goddess of Night" and could hide in the "darkness" at night, making it difficult for angels to detect his presence.

After seeing Hugh get off the rented carriage, Odysseus took advantage of the cover of night and flowed into the carriage in the "darkness", covering the paper bag left by Hugh, which contained the reward and briefing.

After doing all this, Odysseus quickly left using the "Travel Ring".

Just like when he came, Odysseus didn't walk far before returning to the real world from the spiritual world and taking off the black iron ring on his hand.

After all, this comes from a "hermit". It would be bad if he encountered some evil creatures in the spiritual world under its influence.

Originally, Odysseus planned to wait until next week or when there was an opportunity in the future to get the reward and briefing, but Odysseus suddenly thought that this was a good opportunity to disgust "MI9", so he designed such a plan.

Meanwhile, a letter will be sent to MI9 tomorrow telling them how they were paid and briefed, to give them a good spit.

Although Odysseus is not a vengeful person, he was ambushed by "MI9" and almost caught, which always made him feel very angry.

At that time, he was running around for Backlund, but MI9 was playing dirty tricks on him. Now that he has the chance, he must take revenge.

After returning to Bayam, Odysseus glanced at the intelligence summary written by Xio. He first put away the 450 pounds from selling the extraordinary materials, and then wrote a letter to Xio, helping her analyze which intelligence was important and which was not.

In fact, as long as you are experienced, you can tell whether the information the other party says is important by just listening to or reading a few sentences.

Odysseus planned to train Xio seriously and strive to make her independent as soon as possible. This would be an important channel for him to obtain intelligence about Backlund.

The intelligence that could be obtained from Backlund wasn't limited to that city; it was practically one of the intelligence exchange centers for the entire Northern Continent.

At the same time, it can also obtain a lot of information about the sea and the southern continent, which is the channel that Odysseus is most reluctant to give up.

So even though there was surveillance by the "Mechanical Heart" and even though there were some risks, he would still take the risk of contacting Xio and remotely directing the convening of the Occult Research Society's meeting.

At this time, Odysseus sighed: "It would be nice to have a messenger."

He planned to summon a messenger as soon as possible after his promotion.

It will be much more convenient to send a letter or something like that then.

Odysseus did not send the letter to Hugh immediately, but planned to wait a few days.

Then he changed into formal clothes and waited for the client to arrive.

This Loen-style formal suit was just bought by Odysseus, and cost him 9 pounds and 6 soli.

For Odysseus, who rarely wore formal clothes, this expense seemed a bit wasteful.

He could only comfort himself: as long as he put on this suit, he could avoid a debt of 1000 pounds.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the customer didn't show up, but Basel did.

He came to deliver the bounty for the pirates of the Red Lion Pirate Group.

Odysseus simply counted them and put them in his pocket. "You've come just in time. I'm going to the church of the Evernight Goddess. Shall we go together?"

Bazel was stunned: "Captain, I... I am a believer of the 'Lord of Storms'."

Odysseus smiled and said, "It's not just about praying. Let's go, you'll know when you get there."

Bazel didn't ask any more questions and followed closely.

We took a rented carriage to the Peace Church in Bayam, which also welcomes believers for prayers in the evening.

Among the seven churches of the gods, only the Church of the Goddess of Night receives believers at night.

Other churches may also receive believers at night according to actual conditions, but only the "Eternal Sun" church closes on time as soon as the sun sets.

When he arrived inside the church, Odysseus first prayed to the "Holy Emblem of Night".

This was actually to prevent Backlund from being marked by the demigod of MI9, or by the God of Steam and Machinery himself, during his actions.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely small, but with such a strong partner like the "Goddess of Night", it would be a waste not to use it.

After praying, I was sure there was nothing wrong.

Odysseus took Bazel straight to the confessional. He motioned for Bazel to wait outside, opened the door, went in, and sat on the chair.

The priest said, "Praise the goddess, may the starlight illuminate your heart and enable you to confess your sins sincerely."

Odysseus said, "Hello, Reverend. I am Odysseus Garr, the 'leader' from Backlund. I hope to meet the Bishop."

"Oh, Mr. Gal..." The pastor was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "The bishop informed us a few days ago and asked us to keep an eye on Mr. Gal's movements."

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Night Watchmen had informed the clergy of the Church of Tranquility.

"Please follow me." The pastor said this, and the door on his side opened first.

Bazel outside vaguely heard the conversation between the two people. When he saw the pastor coming out, he was slightly stunned and couldn't help but guess in his heart: It turns out that Captain Gal is a member of the Church of the Goddess of Night.

He did not look down on the Church of the Evernight Goddess just because it did not have many believers in the Violent Sea. He knew very well that there were a large number of believers of the Goddess in both the North Continent and the South Continent.

This is the Orthodox Church, one of the seven largest and most powerful extraordinary organizations. Nothing can be more reassuring than such an official background.

At this time, Odysseus also came out from the confessional side and pointed at Bazel and said to the young priest: "This is my companion."

The pastor nodded and led the way, with Odysseus and Bazel following closely behind. This was Bazel's first time in the church's backyard, and everything was new to him. He had never expected a church to be this structured, with a restaurant, offices, dormitories, and even restrooms.

After passing the backyard, we came to the main hall at the back. This is where the clergy work. Because many of them don’t get much sleep, there are many people playing cards in the lounge at night, and some are still working.

The pastor said politely, "Please wait a moment."

Odysseus agreed.

The pastor quickly went up to the second floor, and soon a middle-aged man wearing a bishop's robe of the Church of the Goddess of Night and a clergyman's soft hat walked down quickly.

This was the bishop of the Peace Church. He smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Gar! Backlund's telegram has been sent for a week, and I haven't heard from you yet.

"We've already asked three times, and today we can finally give them a satisfactory answer."

These words stunned Bazel. He didn't expect that the Church of the Evernight Goddess attached so much importance to Captain Gal!
"I'm sorry," Odysseus said honestly, "something delayed me and I couldn't come to see you right away."

"It's okay, I'm glad you're here." The bishop seemed very easygoing. "This way, please."

The two men came to a reception room. Before entering, Odysseus said to Balzers, "Wait at the door."

"Yes, Captain!" Bazel agreed immediately.

Now he firmly believed in the "backer" that Captain Gal had mentioned before, and even wondered if the pirate group that Captain Gal was going to form was the power of the Church of the Goddess of Evernight on the sea?

After all, he had been at sea for so many years and had never heard of any pirate group with a background in the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

In the reception room, the bishop took the initiative and said, “My name is Dean, you can call me Bishop Dean.

"On behalf of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, thank you for returning Archbishop Slant Will's ashes and characteristics. Please also thank the 'Mysterious Queen' on our behalf."

"You're welcome." Odysseus sat opposite the bishop and said, "I will bring your thanks."

He paused and continued, "I've made the bold move to visit you tonight in the hope of initiating intelligence cooperation with the Church of Tranquility."

Bishop Dean asked, "How can I help you?"

Backlund's first telegram mentioned Odis Garr's resume. Even in the Raging Sea, Bishop Dean had heard of the "leader" of the intelligence community.

The Archbishop of the Violent Sea Region also ordered Bishop Dean to provide as much convenience as possible regarding intelligence cooperation with Odis Gar.

And let Bishop Dean do his best to promote cooperation. After all, there are almost no churches of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in the "Sea of Fury", so there is no need to worry about conflicts between the two churches because of Odysseus.

"I want to hold an intelligence gathering in Bayam," Odysseus said straight to the point. "I hope the official Beyonders won't regard this gathering as an organization with ulterior motives.

"In return for your protection, I will provide you with all the information I have regarding the Evil God, any information that may be detrimental to the Raging Sea or Bayam.

"If there's anything you want to know, I can also keep an eye out for you."

The so-called "intelligence gathering" is basically a "get something for nothing" project.

Odysseus received protection from the official Beyonders, and then used this protection to organize an intelligence exchange meeting.

Many organizations and individuals hope to have such a place to exchange information, especially in the Raging Sea, where there are many pirates who hope to purchase information.

There is a market for this project, but no reliable host.

Now, with Odysseus, who has an official background, as the host, everyone can trade with confidence and without worrying about being arrested in the middle of a transaction. With Odysseus around, there is no need to worry about trading false information.

Odysseus then used the information he had exchanged to give feedback to the official Beyonders.

Everyone gets what they need, but Odysseus, the middleman, only needs to pay the cost of the party venue to gain the protection and attention of the official Beyonders, and will become the intelligence chief of a region in the shortest time.

Odysseus's request was simple for Bishop Dean, who immediately agreed. "I will formally inform the Storm Church and the Governor's Office tomorrow. Hmm... where do you plan to conduct the intelligence exchange?"

"Kent Blue Street, Wizarding Office."

"Okay, no official Beyonders will bother you."

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the Church of the Evernight Goddess attached great importance to cooperating with him on intelligence matters. He then said, "I hope you can come forward and attend the first gathering.

"You don't need to participate anymore. Just wait for my summary after the transaction."

"No problem," Bishop Dean agreed readily. "After all, we need to let everyone know that this gathering has the background of the Church of the Evernight Goddess."

Odysseus didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. After finishing the business, the two chatted for a while and then Odysseus got up to say goodbye.

On the way back in the carriage, Bazel asked, "Captain, are we now considered official Beyonder informants?"

"I guess so." Odysseus smiled and said, "But the word 'informant' is not quite right. I should say intelligence officer or intelligence officer."

He took a deep breath and continued, "I won't be in Bayam for the next two days. You can use your channels to spread the news. Just say that there will be an intelligence exchange meeting at the wizard office soon.

“The venue is absolutely safe. No matter what organization you belong to, as long as you want to exchange information, you can go there and take a look.

“But if anyone has ulterior motives, they will definitely be punished accordingly.

"And tell them that I have shocking news to announce to them regarding Bayam."

Odiston paused and continued, "In addition to using your channels, you can also go to various bars to spread the news. I will provide you with activity funds, and I will also give you a certain reward after the success."

Bazel realized that this was the first mission the captain had given him, and he must complete it seriously: "Tonight I will..."

"No, spread the news tomorrow afternoon," Odysseus instructed.

Because Bishop Dean will inform other official extraordinary people of this news tomorrow morning.

To be on the safe side, it’s better to spread the news tomorrow afternoon.

When they returned to the wizard office, it was already very late and there were definitely no customers coming. So after seeing Bazel off, Odysseus also used the "Travel Ring" to return to Lasha Island.

The sea trial has just ended, and the shipbuilding work is not actually very busy, but the construction of Odysseus's ship is about to begin, and there are many details that need to be discussed with the ship designers.

This ship does not use any new technology and basically uses the weapons and power systems of large ocean ships.

The only difference is that because the ship is smaller in size, Odysseus has made certain modifications to the overall magic circle, such as more fancy weapons and diving mode!

Therefore, there were many things that needed to be discussed with the ship designers. I spent the whole day on Sunday in the dock and didn’t even have time to attend classes with the scholars.

Odysseus didn't have to go to the docks on Monday, but he had other things to do.

Recently, whenever he has free time, he experiments with his new witchcraft in the "wilderness of knowledge", and relies on actual combat to constantly summarize the purpose and use of witchcraft.

After this period of accumulation, he felt that he could complete "The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft".

So in the early morning, under the pretext of sleeping in, he went into the "wilderness of knowledge" to write "The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft".

After three days in the "wilderness of knowledge", he finally completed his second book.

From an introduction to witchcraft and wizards, to fifty-six witchcraft demonstrations, to the actual application and usage techniques of these witchcrafts, this book can be called a textbook for "wizards".

However, Odysseus did not intend to publish it publicly like the "Combat Outline". Instead, he planned to put it in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" first, bind it himself when he had time, and use his extraordinary ability to copy a copy.

The copied book was originally placed in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and will be passed on to a "wizard" when the opportunity is right, just like teaching a student.

Odysseus stretched and returned to the real world. At this moment, he was surprised to find that the "wizard's" potion had been completely digested.
