Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 346: Transport Captain from Feynaporte
After arriving at the Solothu Hotel, Odysseus generously booked the entire third floor and took Bernadette to dinner.

Solotu State is already the hinterland of the Western Province. It only takes two days by horse carriage to reach the city of Wotai. The public security in the city is very good and the business seems to be quite prosperous.

The food in the hotel is also pretty good, about the same level as in Azshara.

After dinner, Odysseus gave a few instructions to Longzel in the hotel corridor, leaving all the chores to Longzel and the three clerks, while he and Bernadette returned to their respective rooms.

After the two men entered, Neil, a clerk in his twenties in the corridor, whispered to Longzel, "Captain, isn't that beautiful lady the governor's wife?"

If you are a couple, you should go into the same room.

Longzel’s external identity is the captain of the guard, and his team members are those “extraordinary puppets”.

He glanced at Neil before saying, "No."

After giving a simple answer, he went to command the "Extraordinary Puppets" and let them live in different rooms.

At the same time, Longzel instructed the three clerks to go out and find out where there were places selling horse-drawn carriages. Governor Odysseus had just instructed that they needed to buy a few carriages to continue the second half of the journey.

After watching the three members go downstairs, Longzel quickly came to Odysseus's door and knocked on it.

"Please come in."

Longzel opened the door and saw that Odysseus had just taken off his vest and hung it on the hanger. After closing the door, he whispered, "Governor, that clerk Neil seems to be an undercover sent by another organization."

Odysseus glanced at Longzel and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"He's asking too many questions," Long Ze'er said. "Unless he's extremely curious, he's definitely helping other organizations gather information."

Odysseus smiled and said, "This can't be called undercover."

Long Zeer was stunned: "Am I too sensitive?"

"No, what I mean is that when I first met him, I realized he was sent by another organization." Odysseus smiled and said, "So he can't be called an undercover agent, he can only be called an idiot, or an actor."

Longzel smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

Odysseus sat in the chair in front of the desk and said, "Be alert at night. I think someone will attack us today."

"Yes." After saying that, Longzel left the governor's room.

At this time, Bernadette, who lived in the next room, turned into an illusory figure that looked like a spirit and passed through the wall.

She sat across from Odysseus seemingly casually: "How did you know that there was something wrong with those three people?"

"Neil, whom Longzel and I were just talking about, must have just arrived in Lunburg," Odysseus said. "He said he failed the civil service exam and has no hope for life in Azshara. However, his fingers don't have the deformation that comes from constantly holding a pen."

He had discovered long ago that the Lemburg people had a characteristic: almost everyone's thumb, index finger and middle finger had slight deformations, which were caused by using the pen a lot.

If you have really prepared for the corresponding exam, there should be similar traces.

Odysseus paused and continued, "That female clerk, Roxanne, said her fiancé is missing and can't be found no matter how hard she tries. She doesn't want to stay in Azshara anymore.

"When she said this, she looked heartbroken and almost cried, but when she asked the next question, she immediately exposed herself.

“I asked her if she had called the police and she said she had.

"But why didn't she wait for the police's investigation results before leaving Azshara immediately?"

Odysseus leaned back in his chair and continued, "The third clerk, Corey, said that his friend disappeared in Wotai City. He really hopes to get this job and look for his friend under my protection.

"This is the most thoughtful explanation, almost impeccable, but there is a basic logical problem. If he really had such a good relationship with his friend, he should have gone there himself a long time ago.

"If the relationship isn't that good, it's unlikely that you'll take the risk.

"Of course, the most basic reason I judge them to be problematic is that they don't have any absolute reason to go to Wotai State. In other words, the reasons they found don't warrant an ordinary person taking such a risk."

Bernadette crossed her legs and said, "So, you recruited them on purpose?"

Odysseus smiled and said, "That's about right."

After the interview, when the senior official Biqier told Odysseus that it was difficult to recruit people in Azshara, Odysseus thought of this method to see if the enemies he had "accumulated" before were well-informed.

For the past few months, Odysseus has been wandering on the sea, not staying in one place for too long, because with the protection of "The Favor of Night", it is almost impossible for his enemies to find him.

But now Odysseus has come to the land, and he has been in Azshara for several days in his true appearance and true identity. This news should have been known to many people.

Therefore, Odysseus's action of "recruiting clerks" is essentially to provide those organizations that have ill intentions towards him with a fair and open condition to approach him.

That way, they can attack with all their strength at once, instead of being timid and testing the waters.

Of course, before knowing that Bernadette was going to travel with him, Odysseus would not be so arrogant as to invite the wolf into the house.

After knowing that Bernadette was going to Votai City with him, Odysseus had no worries at all. He was only a Sequence 5, and the enemy would not send out angels.

With Bernadette around, as long as there are no angels among the enemies, Odysseus will be safe and can also gain a lot of spoils.

After hearing Odysseus's answer, Bernadette said, "If the other party sends out a demigod, I will help you deal with it, and the spoils of war at the demigod level will belong to me.

"If these enemies are only demigods or below, and your life is not in danger, I will not attack you, nor will I share your spoils."

Odysseus smiled and said, "Thank you."

After chatting for a while, Bernadette returned to her room.

Odysseus did not go to the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to write a book today, but took the time to rest, because if someone wanted to launch an attack, the battle would definitely take place in the second half of the night.

When Odysseus was sleeping soundly, suddenly a pair of hands pushed him, which woke him up immediately.

In the darkness, he glanced at the clock. It was past three in the morning, but his spirit did not sense any danger.

After a moment of hesitation, Odysseus realized that the person who pushed him just now might be the "invisible servant", which was Bernadette's reminder.

Of course, a Sequence 5 spiritual being cannot be compared with a demigod. Bernadette should have discovered the danger in advance.

So Odysseus immediately began to put on the seal. The "Staff of Gus" and the seal were placed at his side. He put them on in two or three seconds. Then he used the "Scale Armor Scroll" and sat on the edge of the bed holding the staff and waited.

Because they are in the city, and not many people know that Odysseus has the "Scepter of Disaster" in his hand, so Odysseus does not plan to use this level 1 seal.

After waiting for a few seconds, Odysseus's spirit seemed to sense something and looked towards the window.

His own spirituality was only warned at this time. Although there was enough time, he would not be as calm as he is now.

Thanks to Bernadette's reminder, Odysseus was well prepared. So when he saw a figure suddenly appear at the window, Odysseus immediately injected "Star Sand" into the "Staff of Gus" and at the same time injected spirituality into the "Hand of Judgment": "Imprison!"

The other party didn't do anything yet, but just stood there, "imprisoned" by the surrounding air.

Odysseus rushed forward: "Death!"

wow~
He broke the window and knocked the other person out.

Odysseus also flew out, and the symbol on the head of the "Staff of Gus" emerged, summoning a lightning bolt from the sky to strike the opponent.

Odysseus punched again with his gloved hand, "Harvest!"
After three consecutive blows from Odysseus, the opponent fell to the ground, seriously injured and unable to get up.

The process was so quick that the attacking party was completely confused. They started to attack, but the target of the assassination rushed out first and immediately seriously injured one of their members.

Odysseus's attack continued, and the starlight on the head of the "Staff of Gus" suddenly solidified, forming a straight sword made of starlight, which pierced directly at the member lying on the ground.

"Exile!" shouted a "Punishment Knight" standing on the roof.

Odysseus was pushed away by a huge force and failed to complete the final kill.

At this time, the other members of the enemy finally came to their senses and attacked Odysseus.

A "chaos mentor" who was lying in ambush under the window, because everything happened too quickly and too hastily, picked up a floor tile and threw it at Odysseus, completing the "bribery" process.

Just as he was about to use his next ability, Odysseus suddenly used "Flash" and appeared not far from the "Punishment Knight" on the roof.

Odysseus threw out a scroll: "Chaos!"

As the scroll with black light broke, the "Punishment Knight" suddenly fell into a state of "chaos". The extraordinary ability that was originally used against Odysseus was thrown at the tiles not far away.

Odysseus rushed forward, and "Gal Runes" appeared on the "Staff of Gus" in his hand, and suddenly there were groups of morning light descending around him.

The morning light at the head of the "staff" condensed into a sharp straight sword, which suddenly stabbed at the "Punishment Knight".

bang bang bang~
A "judge" who had been lying in ambush in the yard as a support force finally rushed over. Because the range of his "exile" ability was limited, he raised his gun and shot at Odysseus, hoping to force him to give up the attack.

"Chaos!" This is the chaos used by the "Chaos Mentor" in the yard, and it is also used to block Odysseus's attack.

But they were all a step too late, and Odysseus's straight sword pierced the heart of the "Knight of Punishment".

The severe pain and threat to his life immediately brought the "Punishment Knight" out of his state of "chaos".

He immediately jumped back and let himself fall from the roof.

At the moment of falling, he pushed out his palm and said in a solemn voice: "The use of scrolls is prohibited here!"

Odysseus on the rooftop was unable to catch up. He was first hit by the "Chaos" of the "Chaos Mentor", but fortunately, there was "Dawn Light" around his body, so he was not greatly affected.

Then the three bullets hit Odysseus, but they were all blocked by the power of the "Scale Armor Scroll".

Odysseus knew that he was affected by "chaos". No matter what ability he used in the next few seconds, he might not be able to hit the opponent because of this tiny mistake.

So he didn't rush to attack, but looked at the four people in the yard.

They have three Sequence 5s, two "Punishment Knights" and one "Chaos Mentor".

One of the "Punishment Knights" was the first one to appear in the window. He had been seriously injured by Odysseus and had completely lost his combat effectiveness. He was even unable to escape on his own.

Another "Punishment Knight" had just been stabbed by Odysseus. If an ordinary person had been stabbed like that, he would have died long ago, but for a Sequence 5, he was just injured and could even continue fighting, but he could not do strenuous activities. After all, Odysseus's sword had just stabbed him near his heart.

At present, the "Chaos Mentor" has become the main combat force, and the "Judge" who just came to support is not injured.

The "judge" just now fired three shots, waking up many people, who stood at the windows to look out.

……

Third floor, Bernadette's room.

The "Mysterious Queen" sat on a chair in front of the window, quietly watching the battle in the yard.

At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open, and Neil, the clerk Odysseus had just hired, pointed a gun at Bernadette and said, "Put your hands up."

Bernadette glanced at the other person and said, "You are the first one."

Neil was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the other party meant, but then he said in a fierce tone: "Stand up, from here..."

Bernadette looked out the window again and waved casually at Neil.

Neil's neck was suddenly twisted by an invisible force, and his neck was broken. He was interrupted while speaking.

Then Neil struggled a few times and soon fell to the ground and twitched.

……

The "Chaos Mentor" in the yard knew that they had little time left for the assassination, so he took the initiative to attack Odysseus. He first used the "weakening" ability, then suddenly jumped onto the wall, dug his hands into the bricks, and climbed to the roof in a few seconds. Like a brown bear, he drew his dagger and pounced on Odysseus.

The "Punishment Knight" with a chest injury continued in a solemn tone, "Witchcraft is prohibited here!"

The "judge" on the side also attacked while saying: "Teleportation is prohibited here!"

One of the differences between "Punishment Paladin" and "Judge" is that "Judge" can only "ban" once and cannot be stacked.

The "Retribution Knight's" "Prohibit" can be stacked, meaning that the "Judge" can only use "Prohibit" once within a certain period of time, while the "Retribution Knight" can use it multiple times in a row. Odysseus's "Chaos" status was still there, and it had been "weakened", so he immediately jumped from the roof to the courtyard to avoid the attack of the "Chaos Mentor".

"Imprison!" The "Judge" who was chasing closely used the ability of "imprisonment". The air around Odysseus suddenly became sticky, but before he landed on the ground, he was "imprisoned" in place.

The "Chaos Mentor" rushed forward and stabbed Odysseus in the chest with a sword.

But the moment the tip of the sword touched Odysseus, the "Chaos Mentor" was stunned, because it did not feel like any sharp weapon piercing into flesh and blood, but rather like stabbing a hard steel plate.

Then, the "Chaos Mentor" saw a layer of illusory scales flash across Odysseus' body, and he suddenly understood why the three shots fired by the "Judge" did not hurt Odysseus.

"Death!" At this time, the "judge" behind followed closely, ready to "finish the job", he thought Odysseus was stabbed.

The "Astrologer"'s physique is not strong. If he is stabbed in the chest, he will basically lose his combat effectiveness.

But the "Chaos Mentor" realized that Odysseus seemed to be deliberately leading them closer. It was at this time that he saw the corners of Odysseus' mouth curled up and he smiled slightly.

The Chaos Mentor immediately realized something was wrong and quickly jumped out of the way, saying, "Get out of the way!"

But it was too late, because once the "Death" ability determined the target, it would definitely hit the opponent, and the "Judge" could no longer change the target.

At this time, the head of the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand emitted a brilliant light again, and a huge pillar of starlight fell, completely covering the "Judge".

"Starlight Pillar" is Odysseus's own ability, not a scroll or witchcraft, so it has not been weakened by the "ban" just now.

The moment the "Judge" was covered by the beam of light, his skin seemed to melt and disappear.

The "Chaos Mentor" immediately used the ability of "Chaos" again, hoping to interfere with Odysseus. Although the light column shifted slightly, it still could not immediately leave the "Judge".

The "Punishment Knight" on the other side of the yard immediately used the "Imprisonment" ability on the "Judge", hoping to use the sticky air to block the attack of the light column.

But the "imprisonment" ability was immediately broken by the beam of light.

So the "Punishment Knight" immediately used "Exile" in the hope of pushing the "Judge" out of the light column.

This method was indeed effective. The "Punishment Knight" pushed a figure out from the beam of light, but this figure immediately fell to the ground like a pile of sand.

These "sands" are the "judge".

Because of the death of the "Judge", the "ban" on the "teleportation" ability was also lifted, so Odysseus immediately "flashed" to the side of the "Punishment Knight", and the "Staff of Gus" in his hand reflected "Gal Runes" one by one, and pointed at the wound of the "Punishment Knight".

bang~
With a muffled thud, the Punishment Knight's chest cavity was completely blown open, leaving his heart and lungs exposed to the air.

What Odysseus just simulated was the "flesh bomb" ability of the "Secret Prayer" path. The power of this ability cannot be said to be very great, but it is unexpected enough. The "Punishment Knight" was not prepared for this and was directly fatally injured.

When I looked back, the "chaos mentor" had already run away.

Just now, when he had the help of two teammates, he still felt that there was hope of completing the mission, but in just a few seconds, the situation changed instantly, and now he was the only one who could move.

Obviously, this assassination mission was difficult to complete, so he turned around and ran away.

Odysseus used "Flash" to catch up, and the starlight of "Gus Staff" was shining brightly. He used the power of "Starlight Cage" to trap the "Chaos Mentor".

Then Odysseus threw a punch with the hand with the "harvesting glove".

Harvest!

Directly knocked the "Chaos Mentor" away!

Then Odysseus used his "imprisonment" ability to trap the "Chaos Mentor" again.

He also used the "Staff of Gus" to imitate the vampire's "claw" ability. The nails on both hands quickly grew longer, with some blood-red mist, wrapped around illusory symbols.

Odysseus' five fingers were like five sharp daggers, stabbing at the "Chaos Mentor".

Seeing that he could not dodge, the "Chaos Mentor" simply raised his left arm to block Odysseus's five fingers.

puff~
The five long fingers instantly pierced the arm of the "Chaos Mentor" and almost pierced his chest.

The Chaos Mentor took a deep breath and said, "Chaos!"

The moment he was affected by "chaos", Odysseus seemed to have lost his target. The "Sword of Dawn" simulated by the "Staff of Gus" suddenly stabbed into the ground, and then Odysseus's second sword stabbed into a big tree on the side of the road.

This feeling was very strange. Odysseus knew very well that his target was the "Chaos Mentor" in front of him, but when he launched the attack, his thoughts and actions were "confused" and he perfectly avoided the opponent.

The "Chaos Mentor" took advantage of this opportunity to escape quickly, but after he took two steps, he turned around and came back to Odysseus.

Just now, when Odysseus used the "imprisonment" ability, he was afraid that his next attack would not be able to completely eliminate the opponent, so he simply "hypnotized" the "Chaos Mentor".

Although it was "Battle Hypnosis" and the opportunity was fleeting, it was enough for Odysseus to come out of the state of "chaos" and use the "Staff of Gus" to summon the "Starlight Pillar", instantly enveloping the "Chaos Mentor" in the dazzling sea of stars.

The violent impact instantly woke the Chaos Mentor. He jumped away and let out a scream. Many parts of his body were covered in blood and flesh, as if he had just been hit by a violent explosion.

This is the difference between Sequence 5 and Sequence 6. The previous "Judge" had basically no resistance when facing the "Starlight Pillar".

However, the "Chaos Mentor" still had the strength to dodge, but he was in a very embarrassing situation after dodging.

Odysseus immediately threw out a scroll: "Art!"

This is the "Blood Explosion Scroll" he designed using the flesh and blood of the black spider.

Although this violated the "prohibition" of the "Punishment Knight", the "Punishment Knight" no longer had the power to "punish" him at this time, so the power of the "scroll" was just slightly smaller, and there was no other impact.

puff!
The "Chaos Mentor" was instantly blown to pieces, with a big hole blown out in his stomach, and then he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Odysseus finally breathed a sigh of relief, solidified the "starlight" again, and used the "Sword of Stars" to deal with the assassin in front of him.

Then Odysseus threw the body of the "Chaos Mentor" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and quickly returned to the yard.

At this time, Longzel, who jumped down from the third floor, had just killed the two seriously injured "Punishment Knights".

He put away his sword and said with a helpless smile: "I just rushed down and the battle is almost over."

Just when he came to the yard, Odysseus had just used the "Starlight Pillar". When Longzel rushed over, he had already severely injured the second "Punishment Knight".

Seeing that Odysseus went to chase the escaped enemy, Longzel stayed and dealt with the two dying enemies.

Odysseus said: "There will be plenty of opportunities to fight in the future."

As he spoke, he used the "Staff of Gus" to simulate the relevant abilities of the "Death" path, accelerated the extraction of characteristics, and soon obtained three characteristics of the "Arbitrator" path.

"You have the ability to fully recover your level." Odysseus said to Longzel with a smile, "When we get to Wotai Province, I will give you a Sequence 8 potion.

"Well, you can collect auxiliary materials first."

Thinking of this, Odysseus threw the body of one of the "Punishment Knights" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

He suddenly remembered that he did not have the potion formula other than the "Arbitrator" path sequence 9, so he planned to use "Spiritual Communication" to obtain the potion formula.

Longzel smiled and said, "Okay."

Odysseus asked Longzel to deal with the police who came after hearing the news, and he quickly returned to the third floor and came to Bernadette's room.

After seeing Neil's body, he was slightly stunned: "This guy exposed himself?"

Bernadette hummed, "I don't understand why he didn't leave quickly and came to me."

Odysseus kicked the corpse and said, "What else can I do? He must have had some dirty thoughts."

Bernadette simply said "Oh" and waved her hand towards Neil's body again. An unknown force bent the body into a "V" shape.

Odysseus clearly heard the sound of the corpse's spine breaking, so he called in two "extraordinary puppets", threw the corpse into the yard, and handed it over to the police.

The Mysterious Queen asked Odysseus, "Do you know what force the assassin belongs to?"

"They should be sent by Feynaporte's military," Odysseus said. "We caught spies on Cruz Island before, but they committed suicide before we could interrogate them. But I suspect they were sent by Feynaporte's military.

"It was precisely because I wasn't on Cruz Island much before that they couldn't find me, so they thought now was the best time to assassinate me."

Bernadette nodded and said, "It's a very reasonable guess."

Apart from the royal family and military of Loen, only Feynaporte's royal family and military had many Beyonders with the "Arbitrator" and "Lawyer" paths.

At this time in the yard, the police who arrived saw so many soldiers staying in the hotel and immediately realized that this was not an ordinary case. So they did not immediately launch further investigation, but quickly reported it to their superiors.

Not long after, the official extraordinary people also arrived.

Although the Western Province is in chaos now, the faith here is not chaotic. In other words, although Intis and Fenaport are infiltrating the Western Province and supporting a group of local armed forces, they dare not influence the church here.

Because if that happens, war might really break out.

The extraordinary people who came were official extraordinary people from the local Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. After they learned that Odysseus lived here, they simply learned about the situation, took a statement from Odysseus, and left.

Archbishop Douglas had already issued orders to the churches in the Western Province, asking the churches here to cooperate with Odysseus's actions as much as possible.

Therefore, the official Beyonders of the church would not make things difficult for Odysseus.

After the investigation process was basically completed, Odysseus moved to another room, lay on the bed, and pretended to continue resting.

In fact, he used "Meditation" to come to the "Knowledge Wilderness", first shattered the four extraordinary characteristics, and then used the seal to "communicate with spirits".

Because Odysseus could draw on the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge", he easily made the spirit of the "Chaos Mentor" enter the state of "spiritual communication".

Odysseus asked, "Which organization do you belong to?"

The Chaos Mentor replied with a confused look in his eyes, "The Feynaporte Security Bureau."

Odysseus nodded slowly. Feynaporte's Security Bureau had similar functions to Loen's MI9 and Intis's Bureau VIII. In addition to investigating some extraordinary cases, they also carried out infiltration or assassination work in other countries.

Odysseus had already guessed this and was not surprised. He asked again, "Where did you get this information about me?"

"Our group is only responsible for assassinations," the Chaos Mentor replied, "and I don't know exactly where we got the information."

Odysseus nodded slowly, guessing that there were officials in Azshara working for the Kingdom of Feynapotent.

Seeing he couldn't get any other useful information, he turned to ask in another direction: "Do you know the potion formula for 'Fallen Count' or 'Lawmage'?"

These are the names of the "Lawyer" and "Arbitrator" pathways, Sequence 4 potions.

Now Odysseus already has many subordinates in the form of "lawyers" and "arbitrators". If there is a chance, he will certainly ask for the corresponding potion formula.

Unfortunately, this "Chaos Mentor" has not yet come into contact with the formula of this level.

Odysseus then communicated with the spirit of the "Punishment Knight" and obtained the potion formula for this path, which ranged from sequence 8 to sequence 5.

And this "Punishment Knight" also did not know the potion formula of the "Law Mage".

After finishing the "communication", Odysseus returned to the real world to continue resting.

The next morning, at breakfast, the other two clerks greeted Odysseus as usual, as if they didn't know that Neil had died last night.

Odysseus knew that this was a sign of their confidence in their organization, otherwise they would have seen the assassination last night and slipped away after learning about the target's strength.

Their mission today is to buy a carriage and continue their journey.

As soon as Longzel and the others arrived at the car dealership, Odysseus received an unexpected invitation. A man who claimed to be the governor's butler invited Odysseus to have lunch at the governor's residence.

Odysseus thought that the governor had invited the governor of the neighboring state to dinner because he learned that the governor was passing through his jurisdiction.

When Odysseus took a carriage to the governor's mansion, the governor turned out to be the man who had been chatting with Odysseus all the way on the train.
