Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 300: Klein plays the admiral
Odysseus was not polite to the navy: "The first mate Bazel and the second mate Rupert of the Sword of Dawn must have the rank of lieutenant colonel, and Beavis has the rank of major.

"The battle captain and boatswain have the rank of captain, and the other crew members have the rank of lieutenant, and they are paid according to their rank."

Tim noted: "I can give you an answer to that right now, no problem."

Odysseus added, “Help me repair the large cruiser I just captured.

"From now on I'm going to call myself 'Pirate General'. Please don't interfere with the navy."

"I'll go coordinate," Tim said. "We can sail the ship to Chakel Island. There's a large shipyard there. I'll send professionals there."

He paused and continued, "As for the matter of the 'Pirate General', the Navy will certainly not interfere, but you will definitely be rewarded when the time comes."

Odysseus smiled and said, "The bounty isn't a problem. On the contrary, there will be many bounty hunters coming to our door."

Tim was stunned for a moment before he said, "Wait a moment, I'll report your request."

Three or four minutes later, Tim came back and said with a smile, "It can be seen that the Admiral admires you very much. He agreed to all the conditions you proposed and also allowed us to attend the banquet that is about to begin.

"Plus, there's this."

As he spoke, he took out a dark black crystal and said, "The Admiral said that if you inject spirituality into this, he will be able to sense your location.

"But the scope is limited to the Rorsted Archipelago and the western part of the Sonia Sea."

Odysseus took the black crystal and immediately understood: because these two sea areas were under the rule of Rune.

Then he smiled and said, "If I leave like this, wouldn't it seem disrespectful to the Admiral?"

"Yes!" Tim said nervously, "The guests at the banquet are all important figures in the Rorsted Islands. Many people are desperately trying to get an invitation to the party..."

"Don't worry, I'm not a tactless person." Odysseus smiled, "I just think it's a bit boring for a pirate to attend such a party."

Tim breathed a sigh of relief: "Then just think of it as enjoying a delicious meal."

"Okay." So the two of them came to the banquet hall together. A huge crystal chandelier hung from the top, illuminating the entire venue like daylight.

The banquet has begun, and guests are socializing and chatting in groups of three or five, with wine glasses in hand.

The protagonist of this banquet was Amyrius, who was wearing a military uniform. A group of people were surrounding him, talking and laughing.

Odysseus looked directly at the food on the long table. It was indeed quite rich, with roast chicken, pan-fried goose liver, stewed lamb, Backlund roast goose, Olavian lobster and other delicacies.

Not only is the quantity large, but the appearance is also quite exquisite.

So Odysseus took a plate, used a pair of tongs to pick up some of his favorite foods, and went to the corner to enjoy them.

It tastes good, better than the food in big hotels.

While eating, he observed the guests at the banquet, hoping to find out which one was Klein.

……

Klein transformed into someone else, wearing a black tuxedo and bow tie, and followed Amyrius's subordinate Bilt into the banquet hall.

He had just accepted the task of being Admiral Amyrius's substitute, and according to the plan, he would replace the admiral at tonight's banquet.

As usual, he first took in his surroundings. Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure in the corner. "Isn't that Mr. Gar? Didn't he go out to be a pirate? Why was he here? Why was he suddenly wearing glasses?"
Odysseus's spirit sensed Klein's gaze and looked over. Klein quickly and naturally turned his head away, but he was still wondering in his heart what Mr. Gar's purpose was and what identity he had in attending the party.
Then Klein noticed the table full of delicious food. He was about to pick up the plate when Bilt beside him whispered, "Pay attention to the admiral's behavior."

Klein had no choice but to give up the idea of taking the plate and observe the substitute target.

Afterwards, Klein and Bilt received a secret signal from Admiral Amyrius, went to the backyard, signed a contract, and obtained the "Ninth Law."

When he returned to the banquet hall, Klein had transformed into Amyrius. He thought to himself: This time, no one will stop His Excellency the Admiral from enjoying his meal, right?
As a result, when "His Excellency the Admiral" went to get the plate, several people had already gathered around him and continued the previous conversation.

Klein sighed and glanced at Mr. Gall in the corner, who was using his fork to place a piece of plump lamb into his mouth and chewing it slowly.

The more I watch, the angrier I get!

The dinner finally ended, and Klein, who hadn't eaten anything at all, got on the carriage. Lu Er'an quickly handed him some documents.

Klein took a few glances and felt that he had been too conservative when he requested reimbursement. A roll of toilet paper from the Navy cost one pound!
I took a carriage back to my residence. Because I signed an agreement with Admiral Amyrius, I could only sleep in the office tonight.

To kill time, Klein looked at the documents on his desk. He originally thought they were all boring paperwork, but one document caught his attention.

That was the information about the "Sword of Dawn" pirate group, but it was just clippings and some information provided by the intelligence department.

Thinking of Captain Gall who appeared at the banquet, Klein realized that there might be some secret deal between Amyrius and Captain Gall. However, some core documents were not on the desk, so he had no way of guessing.

Then he sighed: Mr. Gal was able to quickly establish such a high-level network of relationships even when he was at sea.

……

Before this, Odysseus noticed that Admiral Amyrius had left the banquet hall. He knew very well that the "Admiral" who had returned was actually Klein.

After observing it briefly with his peripheral vision, he couldn't see any problems at all, which made Odysseus sigh at the "Faceless Man's" advantage in impersonating others.

Odysseus had no intention of saying hello to Klein. He ate and drank to his heart's content in the banquet hall, and when the banquet was coming to an end, he said goodbye to Tim and left early.

Odysseus did not return to the Argo, but went to Bayam because he had an intelligence exchange meeting the next day.

Ever since he got those two "intelligent puppets" in the "Knowledge Wilderness", Odysseus has had more free time. He only needs to inspect their work and make some high-level scrolls himself. He also has plenty of time to rest at night.

The next day, the "intelligence exchange meeting" was held as usual. Odysseus was judging and analyzing each piece of intelligence. Suddenly, a piece of intelligence that asked him to judge caught his attention.

The intelligence said that there was a recent case of "resurrection" on the island of Oravi. It was a local man. After his death, his family placed him on the ground and prepared to bury him tomorrow.

However, when the deceased's family woke up the next day, they suddenly found that the deceased's body was missing.

Then they heard a shocking news: someone saw the deceased walking quickly away from the street, and no one knew where he went.

Upon seeing this, Odysseus thought: This should be the ability of the "Prisoner" path or the "Death God" path. The former's Sequence 6 "Zombie" has the ability to manipulate corpses, and the latter's manipulation of corpses, spirits, etc. is their more core ability.

He continued reading and later found that the body of the deceased was found, not because of the search for the body, but because a tragedy occurred in Porto Oravi, where more than a dozen people were brutally killed.

The "resurrected" dead man participated in the kidnapping of more than a dozen living people, and also seemed to be involved in the abuse of those living people.

The provider of this information heard about the "resurrection of the dead" incident and happened to see the murder scene. He did a little investigation and learned this shocking news.

The newspapers claimed that the tragedy was caused by pirates.

Odysseus was the first to announce: "This information is true."

Because these practices are in line with the characteristics of the indulgent school of the "Rose School".

He also noticed that the crime occurred on the day of the previous full moon, and this case should have been caused by the "zombies" of the "Rose School" being let loose.

At the level of "zombies", they are cursed to crave warm human blood and fresh flesh during the full moon.

Then Odysseus began to wonder if he could use this information to find the base of the "Rose School" in Olavy?

Odysseus's help to Rupert had already made him enemies with the "Rose School". At that time, he came up with a strategy to take the initiative to attack the "Rose School" to avoid retaliation.

Odysseus was busy some time ago and didn't take care of this matter, and the "Rose School" was also busy. They seemed to be protecting the "Orange Light" Hilarion who was incarnated as a great scientist.

But after this is over, they may have to take revenge on Odysseus.

Well, before that, Odysseus planned to strike at the "Rose School" again to distract their attention.

After the information exchange session, Odysseus sold eight Sequence 8-level Beyonder attributes. After the exchange, he used several pieces of information he had just authenticated to have Allen try to verify their authenticity.

Originally, Odysseus planned to train Basel, but Basel might have other tasks in the future, so Odysseus planned to train the young man Allen who came to him instead.

Based on previous observations, Odysseus noticed that Allen had a good talent in intelligence, but he still needed to do a lot of practice and learn extraordinary knowledge.

First, Odysseus gave him some non-extraordinary knowledge. After he made his judgment, Odysseus gave him some guidance and talked about how to identify the authenticity of intelligence.

At noon, Odysseus came to Olavy for lunch, and according to the previous intelligence about the "Rose School", he went to the scene of the crime.

It was a garment store. It was said that everything was normal when the clerk left the store at night, but when he came to open the store door the next day, the scene inside made the clerk faint.

At this time, the door of the clothing store was sealed and passers-by avoided it from a distance.

Odysseus did not stay there. He came to the corner and used the "Soul Exorcism Scroll" that emitted a pale and faint light to command a natural spirit to enter the clothing store.

Through the vision of the nature spirit, Odysseus saw that the corpse inside had been taken away long ago, but traces of blood were still there. A lot of blood sprayed on the clothes on the hanger, leaving them with some hideous stains and spots.

In the dim room, these clothes seemed like ghosts standing there, staring at Odysseus.

After a quick look around, Odysseus was sure that there were no clues left here, so he was ready to end his control over the natural spirit. At this moment, Odysseus suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and in a flash he realized that the natural spirit had been killed.

This made Odysseus stunned: Official Beyonder?
Then he quickly used an "Invisibility Scroll" to hide his tracks.

Only then did he realize that it shouldn't be the official Extraordinary who was waiting in ambush. The official Extraordinary should have guessed that it was the behavior of a "zombie", so the official Extraordinary investigating this case would not be higher than Sequence 6.

The person lurking here is most likely a Sequence 7. Odysseus must have noticed it when he passed by just now.

Moreover, the method adopted by the official extraordinary people is most likely to find the person behind the scenes through the natural spirit, rather than directly killing the natural spirit to find the person behind the scenes.

At this moment, Odysseus, who was hiding in the dark, felt the air around him suddenly become cold, and then a somewhat illusory shadow floated out from the void in front of him. It was a middle-aged man with an extremely pale face, wearing a formal suit, and there was a hint of uncontrollable madness in his eyes.

Odysseus thought to himself: If you don’t have Miss Sharon’s beauty, don’t try to imitate her and suddenly float out. It’s scary.

At this moment, he finally realized that there was actually a "vengeful spirit" lurking in the clothing store!
Because the hiding ability of the "ghost" is relatively strong among all the channels, if it hides in the mirror or in the spirit world without moving, only those at Sequence 3 or above can detect it.

After this "vengeful spirit" appeared, he was somewhat confused. It can be seen that he intended to fight as soon as he appeared, but because Odysseus was the "favored of the night", he could not find where Odysseus was.

Then, the "ghost" jumped into a glass window and appeared more than ten meters away.

What confused him again was that no one attacked him and there was no ambush around him.

Odysseus did not act immediately because he thought that he had not figured out who the "vengeful spirit" was waiting for.
Theoretically, he could only wait for the official Beyonders here, but what if the "zombie" incident was deliberately exposed? Then the "Rose School" was trying to lure out someone, or some people?

So Odysseus chose to continue observing.

However, the distance between them cannot be too far, otherwise the spirit will not be able to find the "vengeful soul".

The "vengeful spirit" waited for a while, thinking that the person who controlled the natural spirit had left, so he hid in the "void" again.

Odysseus quickly caught up with him, and the other party returned to the clothing store.

Obviously, even if he was exposed, he still didn't plan to leave there.

Odysseus pondered it for a moment and realized that the other party was very confident in this operation, and even this "ghost" might become a new bait once its whereabouts were exposed.

Odysseus thought about it, left there cautiously, found Tim, and told him about it.

Tim was surprised when he heard this: "Why is the 'Rose School' taking such a big action at this time?" Odysseus smiled and said, "I wish I knew."

Tim pondered for a moment: "Could their target be His Excellency the Admiral?"

After all, Amyrius had just arrived at Oravi Island yesterday, and today he discovered a major operation by the "Rose School" involving at least two "ghosts".

"Not likely..." Odysseus suddenly thought of the Celestial Sect, a subsidiary of the Rose School, and the actions it might launch against Klein in the next day or two. He suddenly changed his tone and said, "But it's hard to say right now."

Tim said, "Let's go and report to the general immediately."

Odysseus pushed his golden glasses: Are you sure you want to report to the "Admiral"?

He said, "Doesn't the Navy have a standard of action to refer to for something like this? We still need to report this to His Excellency the Admiral."

"You don't understand this." Tim smiled and said, "We must report this kind of thing to the Admiral immediately to prevent others from taking the credit.

"Furthermore, such an operation may require the Admiral to personally arrange the capture operation, and may even require contacting the Church of Storms for a joint operation."

Odysseus felt a little regretful about telling Tim. He had originally hoped to inform the official Beyonders of his observations through Tim, and then use the power of the official Beyonders to attack the "Rose School".

Let these crazy people of the "Rose School" suffer more losses, so that they will be unable to take care of themselves and delay their revenge on Odysseus.

But the problem now is that, in Tim's opinion, such matters should be reported to Amyrius first.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with this procedure. The problem was that the person sitting in the admiral's position was Klein. This action would definitely increase the difficulty of his substitute mission!

However, things had developed to this point, and Odysseus had no choice but to follow Tim to the navy camp. After Tim roughly explained the purpose of his visit to Lyrian, the admiral's secretary squeezed out ten minutes from Amyrius's schedule and asked them to report the matter.

In a small reception room, Odysseus and Tim met "Amyrius".

When they got closer, Odysseus realized that the "Amyrius" in front of him was somewhat different from the Amyrius of yesterday.

Although the person in front of me also gave me a sense of oppression, it was not as uncomfortable as it was yesterday.

After the door of the reception room was closed, Tim immediately said, "Your Excellency the Admiral, Captain Gal has just discovered a major operation of the 'Rose School'..."

Next, in Tim's description, the "Rose School" seemed to be about to blow Olavin Island into the sky.

Klein, sitting on the sofa, thought to himself: As expected, wherever Mr. Gar goes, trouble happens.

Then he looked at Odysseus and said, "Tell me how you discovered the actions of the Rose School?"

Odysseus talked about the clues he got at the intelligence exchange meeting, how he came here based on that clue, the process of discovering the "ghost", and his speculation.

This made Klein sigh: Mr. Gar is indeed worthy of being called this. He was able to investigate so many things from such a small clue, and finally came up with a very reasonable guess.

Secretary Lu Er'an, who was standing at the door, was also stunned. He did not expect that "Captain Gal" was so meticulous.

Klein said to Lu Er'an, "This matter must be taken seriously. Immediately notify the relevant departments and take appropriate action as soon as possible."

Odysseus thought to himself: I was worrying too much. Mr. Fool also understands "leadership speeches". He said a lot, but did not give any specific instructions.

Lu Er'an immediately said, "I will notify the Governor's Office and the Storm Church immediately."

If the secretary cannot hear the "specific instructions" in the leader's speech, that is his problem.

Finally he asked, "Are you going to personally direct this operation?"

"I will pay close attention to this matter." Klein certainly wouldn't take the risk. He then added, "Let Captain Gall participate in the operation and listen to his advice."

Odysseus was stunned: Brother, I reported to the navy because I didn’t want to be at the forefront. Why did you drag me into the action if you didn’t participate yourself?
Thinking of this, Odysseus said, "Your Excellency, I wonder if the other side has any demigods participating in this operation. I still need you to take command."

Klein thought: What? There might be a demigod? Why not report it to the official Beyonder right away... Oh, yes, now I am an official Beyonder...

This made him somewhat embarrassed, because he was not the real Admiral Amyrius...

At this time, Odysseus added, "Of course, it's also possible that this was an action involving several 'Middle Sequence' members of the 'Rose School'. The manpower of the Oravi Island Governor's Office and the Storm Church might not be enough to handle such a situation."

If Admiral Amyrius also participates in the operation, Odysseus will be his staff member, otherwise he may be used as cannon fodder by the official Beyonders.

On an island like Oravi Island, the Governor's Office will most likely have a Sequence 5 stationed there, and the Storm Church will also most likely deploy a Sequence 5.

If the "Rose School" had more than two Sequence 5 personnel participating in this operation, then this operation would likely not yield much.

Therefore, if this operation wants to achieve any results, it still depends on the power of the navy.

Normally, there is only one Sequence 6 in the naval base here, but among Admiral Amyrius's entourage, there is also a Sequence 5 and several Sequence 6s.

If the navy fully participates in this matter, the official extraordinary people will have an absolute advantage.

So Tim and Lylean both looked at Klein.

According to convention, this operation should be commanded by Amyrius. Although they do not belong to the same command system, according to some agreements within the official Extraordinary people, in such emergencies, the Extraordinary person with the highest sequence or the highest position around has temporary command authority.

However, whether or not to command ultimately depends on the decision of the Admiral.

Klein pondered for a moment and said, "You guys go out first. I'll think about it."

Odysseus knew that "Admiral Amyrius" was going to perform divination, so he was the first to leave the room.

Others didn't care too much. After all, it was not the Navy's responsibility to combat the "Rose School", and it was normal for the Admiral to weigh the pros and cons.

Admiral Amyrius soon called them back and said to Lyrian, "Cancel all future plans. I will command this battle."

The result of his divination just now was that the "Rose School" did not send out a demigod, so there would be no danger in commanding this operation.

"Yes." Lu Er'an immediately went to make specific arrangements.

Half an hour later, the first meeting was held in the Governor's Mansion. Those who attended the meeting included Rear Admiral Barlow, Captain Cookin of the Governor's Guard, and Anlun, the senior deacon of the Storm Church.

The captain of the Governor's Guard, in addition to providing some extraordinary protection to the Governor, also has to provide protection to the officials and administrative staff of Rune in the Governor's Office, and is also responsible for some extraordinary cases that undermine social stability.

Admiral Amyrius personally presided over the meeting. Odysseus first gave a briefing to everyone again, describing the actions of the "Rose School".

After listening to Odysseus's description, Bishop Anlun said, "If I understand correctly, this information is mostly speculation on your part. Do you have any concrete evidence?"

Klein, who was sitting at the head of the table, was slightly taken aback by the question. Because he knew and trusted "Mr. Gar," he immediately believed what he said. However, he also realized a problem. Apart from the fact that there was indeed a "vengeful spirit" in the clothing store, there was basically no evidence for his other speculations.

If the navy mobilized all the extraordinary forces of Oravi Island in such a high-profile manner, and in the end the opponent was only a "wraith", it would damage the authority and image of Admiral Amyrius.

Odysseus said calmly: "The evidence is the previous incident where the zombies killed ordinary people in the clothing store. It was like a performance.

"From what I know, the 'zombies' in the 'prisoner' pathway usually have a group of zombies under their control. Especially when the full moon is approaching, they are unlikely to be in the mood to transform new zombies to help them complete certain operations.

"So from the very beginning, this was a show to maximize the impact of the situation."

An Lun was stunned. This was something he had not noticed before. However, this senior deacon in a bishop's robe thought that this was not the evidence he thought it was. However, when he thought that since Amyrius was personally commanding the operation, it meant that the navy believed that the intelligence was accurate enough, so he did not say anything.

After explaining the situation, Klein asked everyone in a serious tone, "What do you think?"

This was the specific deployment aspect that gave Klein the most headache. He had always been used to being alone and had little experience in organizing this kind of arrest operation.

Based on his experience as an official Beyonder, he could indeed make a deployment, but such a deployment would definitely be based on Klein's habits, not Admiral Amyrius's.

Captain Kurin, who was wearing a Loen-style knight uniform, and Bishop Anlun were both aware of Admiral Amyrius's character, so they did not express their opinions at all, but only expressed their willingness to obey orders.

Klein almost twitched his lips: I told you to say it, but now you don't want to say it.

"I suggest conducting surveillance first." Odysseus understood Klein's embarrassment and said, "Because this drama of the 'Rose School' is not performed for us.

"We can first observe who they are waiting for, and then we can determine how many people they will deploy for this operation.

"At the same time, we should set up a loose perimeter. Once the perimeter is set up, if we haven't yet found their target, we can openly conduct a search and force out the members of the 'Rose School' hiding in the shadows."

Klein nodded calmly, "This plan is good, but I'd like to add two more points. First, if the enemy has three or more Sequence 5s, you can let some of them go and only eliminate the two Sequence 5s and the majority of the group.

"Secondly, this deployment must be coordinated. The three of you should discuss how to deploy the encirclement, and be careful not to attract the enemy's attention.

"If there's anything you can't resolve, please report it to me immediately and I'll make the arrangements."

This is a classic "let me add two more points", which will make others feel that he agrees with Captain Gal's plan, but it is not perfect yet.

If someone later feels that this plan is different from Admiral Amyrius's command habits, it can be completely blamed on Odysseus.

Rear Admiral Barlow was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Odysseus. He had been successfully deceived by Klein and thought that this young man with glasses had guessed the Admiral's intentions. His answer just now was equivalent to speaking for Admiral Amyrius.

Now that the plan was finalized, it was time for the specific implementation phase. As he had wished, Odysseus did not participate in the front line, but was arranged to another street with Tim, ready to provide support at any time.

The two men came to a coffee shop on the street and sat near the window. While drinking coffee, they watched the signal on the street next door through the window.

Tim took a sip of coffee and smiled, "Thanks to you, we're not in any danger this time, and we even get to share the credit."

Odysseus smiled and did not continue to discuss this issue. It would be funny if there were spies from the "Rose School" here.

He first talked to Tim about life at sea and discussed with Tim what he thought about suddenly joining the pirate group.

At this moment, Odysseus saw an acquaintance, a woman in her thirties who looked rather dignified. She was Rupert's classmate Leona.

Odysseus had helped Rupert save two people before, one was Rupert's teacher Cleist, and the other was his classmate Leona.

They are all members of the "School of Life".

At this moment, Odysseus suddenly understood that the play of the "Rose School" was performed for the "Life School".

At this time, the "School of Life" has basically recovered and is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Exposing the trace of a "zombie" at this time will definitely attract their investigation, thus exposing the traces of the "School of Life" members.

After Odysseus's promotion, his thinking has become much faster than that of ordinary people. While chatting with Tim, he thought of these things in just one or two seconds.

So he immediately whispered, "I met an acquaintance and went to chat with her."

Tim was slightly taken aback, but didn't think much about it: "Okay."

Odysseus left the cafe and caught up with Leona and said, "Ma'am, we meet again."

Leona was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Odysseus smiled and whispered, "Are you here to investigate the case involving the 'zombies'?"

Leona said, "No wonder the teacher said now is the best time to come here, and also told me not to take a carriage but to go on foot."

Odysseus thought to himself: This approach is really feasible.

He said, "Come on, I'll introduce you to Admiral Amyrius of the Navy. Both your plan and ours need to be revised."
