Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 31 When I first came here

This is a simple truth, but Mike, a reporter from the Daily Observer, has intentionally or unintentionally ignored it before. Deep down, he does not want the elite class in this society to be cruel and ruthless.

He hopes that the elite class will be like him. Some problems are just not discovered by everyone, but once they are discovered, they will find ways to actively solve them.

Odysseus leaned against the sofa and said in a slightly vicissitudes of life voice: "I am doing the same thing as you, but the method is different.

“I didn’t expect understanding and help from those bigwigs because they couldn’t possibly understand. Help based solely on sympathy is unreliable because sympathy is likely to disappear the next day.

“You may have heard that I once tried to start a factory.

"It's not because I'm investing, I just want to give streetwalkers another way out. After all, who would want to do this job if they don't have to?

"But I failed. Currently, only the Nanmu Restaurant is still profitable."

Mike quickly said, "I heard that you are doing a great..."

Odysseus raised his hand and interrupted Mike: "No need for your compliments, I know that what I did is not great.

"On the contrary, it's a bit dirty."

He pointed at his mask and said, “Once you put this mask on, you can’t take it off.

"But I don't regret it, because I did solve some of the problems. Unfortunately, all I got was the cold stares and ridicule of the upper class. To this day, there hasn't been another 'Nanmu Ballroom'."

Mike was a little excited: "No, what you did is really great. It has provided protection for many street girls and avoided many tragedies."

"Thank you." Odysseus suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Reporter."

Mike also quickly stood up.

Odysseus continued, "Those who want to learn about the Nanmu Ballroom will do so through their own channels, but that channel cannot be newspapers, as that channel is too prone to misunderstanding and exploitation."

He pointed at his mask again and said, “And I want to remind you that there are too many secrets of big men under this mask.

"For you, for me, and for the Nanmu Ballroom, please don't let reports like yesterday appear again."

Mike immediately said, "Don't worry, at least it won't appear in the Daily Observer again."

Odysseus took another puff of his cigar: "Thank you."

They chatted for a while, then Mike stood up to say goodbye, and "Mr. Gall" walked them all the way to the stairs.

Leaving the Nanmu Ballroom, Mike said, "This is a gentleman worthy of respect."

Klein nodded in agreement. He planned to divine where he had seen "Mr. Gar" before upon his return.

……

The third floor of "Nanmu Ballroom".

Odysseus smoked a cigar and said to Enoch, "You can bring people to the dance hall tonight and I'll pay for the expenses."

Enoch bowed happily: "Thank you, Mr. Gar."

He was one of the few people who knew that Mr. Gall was Odysseus.

After Enoch left, the elegant Ms. Mandy said, "Mr. Gall, Lord Asibourne just sent an invitation yesterday. Well, this is the second time he has sent an invitation. He hopes to invite you to the ball he is hosting." Odysseus smiled and said, "He still won't give up."

The huge profits of the "Nanmu Ballroom" made many people salivate and want to take it for themselves.

Fortunately, this is a gray industry, and the nobles and parliamentarians are too lazy to compete for it. Asibourne bought his lordship with money, and is not a powerful nobleman, so his eating habits would be a bit ugly.

"Ignore him." Odysseus took a puff of his cigar and said, "Just tell me I don't have time to attend. If he dares to use any insidious means, I will deal with him."

After chatting for a while, Odysseus planned to go back immediately. He was going to continue practicing fighting and master his new extraordinary abilities as soon as possible.

Returning to the room with the "Teleportation Array" sub-array, Odysseus closed the door, activated the sub-array, and returned to the basement of Gar's Herb Shop.

He changed his clothes and became the herbal medicine shop owner again.

Odysseus sat in a chair in the lounge and suddenly smiled. He hadn't expected to meet the "Great Detective Sherlock" today. He wondered if the "Great Detective" had realized that he was the "Hermit"? Or if he found the business model of the "Nanmu Ballroom" somewhat familiar?

While guessing what Klein was thinking, Odysseus took out his pipe and stuffed it with tobacco.

After lighting his pipe, he recalled the process of founding the "Nanmu Dance Hall".

When Odysseus traveled through time, he experienced a strange and extraordinary event.

That extraordinary incident took place in the northern suburbs of Backlund. The original owner of Odysseus's body was the youngest son of a small farmer. Although food prices had been falling in recent years, the farm had not gone bankrupt and was able to make a decent living.

The moment Odysseus crossed over, all the creatures in the entire farm, as well as several surrounding farms and workshops, turned into irrational monsters. Only Odysseus was not affected and became a "secret peeper".

There are many small workshops producing industrial products in the local area, so most of the people there are believers of the God of Steam and Machinery. After receiving the report, the "Mechanical Heart" immediately intervened and launched an investigation.

The "Mechanical Heart" noticed that this case seemed to be related to some advanced extraordinary characteristics or seals of the "Mysterious Peeper" path or the "Comprehensive Path". Even the headquarters of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery had inquired about this matter many times.

So they examined Odysseus for a full fortnight.

But fortunately, their spirituality only sensed the connection at this level. If they realized that there was a connection with the "Wilderness of Knowledge", the God of Steam and Machinery would probably come to Odysseus in person to talk.

The "Mechanical Heart" investigated for over half a month but found no clues. In the end, it had no choice but to bring Odysseus, who had become a Beyonder, to Backlund and find him a place to live close to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute to continue observing him.

However, by entering the "Wilderness of Knowledge", Odysseus has understood the reason for the extraordinary event. When he came to this world, he had a lot of knowledge about the old days and the starry sky, so he brought great disaster to the surrounding space.

As for why this disaster didn't affect the entirety of Backlund? Not only was he not affected, but he even became a Beyonder?
Odysseus believes it has something to do with the "wilderness of knowledge".

He is not quite sure about the specific reason, but this is the most reasonable guess.

At the same time, when Odysseus used the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to study his own experiences, he accidentally discovered some laws and new uses of spirituality and magic circles, which allowed him to further develop a method to grow spiritual herbs on a large scale and quickly.

So he cooperated with the investigation of the "Mechanical Heart" while learning occult knowledge under their close surveillance, pretending to have an epiphany, and then began to contract the mountains to grow spiritual herbs.

At first, he only sold it at some occult gatherings, but later he got an order to supply spiritual materials to the "Mechanical Heart", which gave him enough money to open a herbal medicine shop.

As a healthy young man, when Odysseus gradually became rich, he would of course take care of the business of the streetwalkers.

But soon, Odysseus became disappointed with the customs industry of this world.
