Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 27 Fight Club

"I'll help you keep an eye out for clues in this regard." Odysseus handed Max a cup of hot coffee. "I remember you said you had acquaintances in the Backlund Fight Club?"

Max immediately understood that Odysseus was planning to go to the club to practice fighting and combat: "Leave it to me."

The members of the "Mechanical Heart" team also needed to learn and practice fighting, so they sought cooperation with the Fighting Club.

Odysseus nodded, then took his cup of coffee, sat at the counter and enjoyed his breakfast.

After seeing off his good friend Max, Odysseus planned to take a rest at noon today. However, his friend Kena just arrived, and the image of the Fool and the image of the "world" appeared in his mind again.

"...Great Mr. Fool," The World said piously, "Please ask 'Hermit' to prepare a ceremony to receive the weapons and rent rented yesterday.

"I also want to ask if he's willing to sell the 'Flaming Arrow'?"

Odysseus had no choice but to hurry to the laboratory, take out two candles and place them on both sides of the table, draw the corresponding symbols, and build the "spiritual wall".

After lighting the candles and dripping homemade essential oils, Odysseus began to whisper the name of "The Fool" and perform the bestowal ceremony.

Soon, the candle representing Mr. Fool suddenly expanded, forming two illusory mysterious doors above the flame.

The door opened slightly, and a bright light suddenly appeared on the altar. The light gradually faded away, revealing two extraordinary weapons and 100 pounds in cash.

The rental of the scepter is 50 pounds and the rental of the "Flaming Arrow" is 20 pounds. Yesterday, "World" also ordered 30 bullets, but the bullets cannot be returned.

The total is exactly 100 pounds.

Odysseus sighed in his heart that the leasing business was pretty good!
Then Odysseus was a little surprised: I remember Klein has the ability of "Air Bullet", why does he still need "Flame Arrow"?
But then he thought, even though Klein had the ability of "air bullets", he still bought "enchanted bullets".

The power of the "Flame Arrow" is far inferior to that of the "Enchanted Bullet" and it does not have any extraordinary effect. It is okay against "low-sequence" extraordinary people, but if it is used against a Sequence 7, it can only have the effect of surprise. Don't expect it to cause too much damage.

But this weapon is very suitable for use in sneak attacks or encounters, which is very consistent with Klein's tactics.

He pondered for a moment, then told The Fool in a prayerful manner, “Fool who does not belong to this era… please tell Mr. World that the trade is open. One Flame Arrow for 500 pounds.

“It needs maintenance once a year and can last for five or six years. Each maintenance costs 100 pounds. Without maintenance, it can only last about one year.

“Well, but it will take more than ten days to deliver.

"Alternatively, you can choose to order bullets from me, which is still £1 per round.

"I can also provide the method of making bullets, which will cost an additional 100 pounds."

The bullets used by "Flame Arrows" are not "enchanted bullets" and do not require carving or other operations. They can be processed using ready-made bullets.

The only technical step is to reformulate the formula of gunpowder and the herbal formula for soaking bullets.

But both formulas are relatively simple. If the price is too high, Odysseus estimates that Klein will choose to try his own divination formula, so it is better to sell it at a lower price.

In addition, in Odysseus's opinion, the weapons made from his research results are not unsaleable, but Odysseus is not very confident in selling them to ordinary extraordinary people.

He felt assured about selling it to Klein. After all, he was unlikely to die inexplicably in some corner of the city like those wild Beyonders. His weapons would be seized by others, completely out of Odysseus's sight.

Soon Odysseus received another reply from the World: "I'll think about it."

Odysseus smiled, thinking that Klein felt it still needed maintenance and was a bit troublesome, so he was considering it.

He had considered the maintenance issue, but after some research, he hadn't found a reasonable solution. Theoretically, disassembling the array wasn't necessary for maintenance; a "Mid-Sequence" Beyonder could continually replenish the "Flame Arrow" with spiritual energy to restore its effectiveness.

But the problem is that it is impossible to control the amount of spiritual energy to be replenished. Those magic arrays are like precision instruments. A little more or a little less spiritual energy will not work.

In fact, spiritual materials can maintain their effectiveness for one or two years if they are placed in a box that prevents spiritual energy from leaking out. However, if there is no arrangement to prevent leakage and the material is in use, the spiritual energy will leak out quickly.

Therefore, after making extraordinary weapons and completing maintenance, Odysseus would perform rituals to pray to the God of Steam and Machinery to suppress the overflow of spirituality.

As an informant of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, Odysseus's prayers are usually answered by the gods. Even if there is no response, performing the ritual again will generally result in a response.

After making extraordinary weapons, the "craftsmen" also have to pray to the gods to ensure the "shelf life" of the extraordinary weapons.

As Odysseus's research yielded no results and he felt that the product had a one-year useful life most of the time, which was acceptable, he eventually stopped researching in this area.

Selling extraordinary weapons is not Odysseus's main source of income, so after "The World" said it needed to consider it, Odysseus did not continue to pay attention to this matter.

After lunch, Odysseus took a public carriage to the "Backlund Fight Club" in the Hilton District.

With Max's letter of recommendation, Odysseus successfully met Federer, the head coach of the "Fight Club".

The head coach, who looked to be about 1 meters tall but a bit thin and not very strong, personally introduced to Odis two ways to join the club:

"The first way is to pay an annual fee of £20 and become a member of the club.

“You can freely use the club’s facilities, find suitable sparring partners, and communicate with other members.

"The second way is to pay a tuition fee of 10 pounds and temporarily join the club as a student.

"After completing a series of instruction, you will no longer be eligible to enter the club."

Odysseus thought to himself: Obviously, the first way to join the club is for people like me who have a fighting foundation and want to communicate and practice.

He said, "I choose the first way to join."

Federer nodded without surprise. "Mr. Max gave a brief description of your situation in his letter. You've received rigorous combat training, but lack actual combat experience, right?"

"Yes."

"Please go and pay your dues first. I'll find you a sparring partner."

Under the guidance of the waiter, Odysseus paid the membership fee, received the club badge, and entered the indoor venue.

Federer's chosen sparring partner was already waiting at the door. He invited Odysseus to the practice area and asked, "What intensity of practice do you need?"

"I'm not sure either." Odysseus scratched his head. "This is my first time in a fight club."

The sparring partner was slightly stunned: "I understand, I will be careful."

After arriving at the practice field, the sparring partner said, "Let's get started."

His eyes blurred and he found himself flying out.
