Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 374: Initial Solution to the Hidden Sage's Arrangement (Today's Updates)
After concluding the negotiations with the "Witch Cult", Odysseus and Bernadette returned to Backlund.

Odysseus went to the Church of St. Samuel alone and reported the plan of the "Witch Sect" in the form of prayer.

Odysseus believed that the "Witch Sect" might have noticed his cooperative relationship with the Church of the Goddess of Night, but they would never have thought that he could report directly to the "Goddess of Night".

If they knew this, they would definitely not seek cooperation with Odysseus.

Because having a cooperative relationship with the Church of the Evernight Goddess and being able to report directly to the "Eve Goddess" are two completely different things.

There are many extraordinary people cooperating with the church. Even if Odysseus leaked the plan of the "Witch Sect" to the Church of Darkness, as long as we carefully observe Odysseus and immediately terminate the cooperation if we find any abnormality, it will be fine.

After all, "White Saint" Katarina roughly told them about their plan, but she did not reveal the specific time and location of the ceremony.

Although there are risks in cooperating with Odysseus, such risks are bearable for them, because under normal circumstances, a demigod will definitely attach great importance to the reward of a level 1 seal.

If Odysseus only has a cooperative relationship with the Church of the Evernight Goddess, he would most likely choose the Level 1 seal. After all, with such a seal, he could create a small extraordinary family.

But it’s different if you can report directly to the “Goddess of Night”. This means that Odysseus is the “favored one of the Goddess of Night” and can apply for high-level support from the church.

Moreover, given the "Goddess of Night"'s attention to the "God of Death" and the Sequence 3 level Beyonder who will appear on the "God of Death" path, the Church of the Goddess of Night will take this matter seriously.

Of course, it’s not that the “Witch Sect” didn’t consider this, but they soon felt that this was impossible, because in addition to having a close relationship with the “Queen of Mystery”, Odysseus was obviously also a favored follower of the “Lord of Mysteries”.

Under normal circumstances, a person with a complicated background like Odysseus could never become the "goddess's favorite."

But this time, the "Witch Sect" happened to encounter an "abnormal" situation.

After Odysseus had prayed quietly many times in the chapel, he felt drowsy again, and then a voice in his ear said, "I know!"

Then Odysseus woke up immediately and felt the tranquility that filled the church.

Then Odysseus thought about the goddess's reply. Although it was still the same "I know", and the tone was similar to the previous instructions, Odysseus could more or less feel a little impatient.

This made him smile helplessly. He thought about it and realized that in the past week, or rather, during his time in Backlund, he had contacted the goddess three times.

I guess this has increased the goddess' workload a lot. After all, if the church operates normally, there are few things that will bother the goddess.

Odysseus's report was just a report. For example, right now, the "Goddess" had to figure out what the "Witch Cult" was actually up to. After figuring it out, the specific deployment was something the "Goddess" had to consider herself.

Odysseus stood up. Although he was helpless, he still had to trouble himself when it was time to trouble himself. It was because his fellow villager had become rich.

Back at the embassy, Odysseus discussed with Bernadette and the two of them acted separately. Odysseus went to observe Nicola, while Bernadette went to observe Alexis.

From Count Vincent, Odysseus learned the unit where Nicola worked: MI9.

Her job was actually to monitor enemy radio stations, or radio stations used by spies.

Because Nicola is blind and has had very keen hearing since childhood, she was recruited by MI9 to perform eavesdropping work.

She also has strong professional qualities. She can not only monitor enemy stations, but also debug telegraph machines.

Nicola's job was to be a telegraph receiver. In order to conceal her identity, she would occasionally do some telegraph machine debugging work. That was how she met Alexis.

MI9's telegraph monitoring department did not have many extraordinary defenses. Of course, even if there were demigods guarding here, they would not be able to detect Odysseus.

After all, as long as he entered the invisible state, even the angels could not find him.

Odysseus met Nicola at his workstation. She was a young lady in her twenties with a beautiful face. She was wearing a smart uniform and had an outstanding temperament, giving people a very clean feeling.

Odysseus thought to himself: It is understandable that Alexis is attracted to such a girl. After all, the women around him are basically cunning and it is difficult to find such a temperament.

From the conversation between Nicola and her colleagues, Odysseus learned that Nicola only needed to work half a day today.

After she had her work lunch at noon, she picked up her guide stick and went to the back door of MI9, where a carriage was already waiting.

There was no sign on the carriage, and it was not a rented carriage, but Nicola seemed to be very familiar with carriages. She got on the carriage while chatting with the coachman.

Then the carriage started and arrived at Count Vincent's residence as expected.

Alexis was already waiting in the stable, and Bernadette's "invisible servant" followed behind him, keeping an eye on his every move.

The young man and woman chatted for a few words, then Alexis stretched out his arm, naturally put Nicola's hand on his arm, and led her to a room with a workbench full of machinery.

After closing the door, Alexis whispered, "I monitored that signal again last night."

What they didn't know was that their "secret conversation" was taking place in front of Odysseus and Bernadette.

Nicola asked, "Have you come up with any results from your investigation?"

"Got it." Alexis said, "Our guess was correct. After much inquiry, I found out that there was an accident on that line and several people seemed to have died.

"But I haven't found any specific information, and I don't know if it was destroyed?"

He paused and continued, "Also, I've talked to some professionals, and it's certain that ghosts do exist in this world, but we just can't see them."

Odysseus thought to himself: It is indeed an extraordinary event.

He had previously heard Count Vincent say that when Alexis asked the Extraordinary bodyguard about the ghost, he guessed that they might have encountered an extraordinary event.

The two were silent for a few seconds, and Nicola said again: "How about we try to send another telegram there?"

Then she asked, "We should be safe across the telegraph, right?"

Alexis said a little uncertainly: "It should be safe."

He paused and continued, "But for safety's sake, if any danger arises, we will immediately stop investigating this matter."

He then took a deep breath and said, "If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, I don't even know how to face myself in the future."

Odysseus thought to himself: This is because he discovered the extraordinary part hidden in this world, and he suffered a certain psychological shock.

So the two of them started turning on the telegraph machine, and Alexis said, "Should we send 'Where is your exact location'?"

Nicola nodded: "Okay."

As the telegraph began to tick, Alexis quickly sent the message.

So the two of them began to wait. After waiting quietly for more than ten seconds, they started chatting.

Odysseus could see that they had some affection for each other, but they seemed afraid to express their inner thoughts.

Da da da……

Suddenly, the telegraph machine rang, a faint signal appeared, and the typewriter connected to the telegraph machine began to operate on its own, typing out characters one by one.

The telegraph machine Alexis bought was the latest model, which could print out text directly after receiving the signal.

Of course, the prerequisite is to send messages in clear code or know the other party's code book.

At this time, they received a telegram in clear text: We are trapped and need rescue urgently.

Alexis looked at the telegram for a moment before he remembered to read it to Nicola.

Nicola suddenly raised her hand: "I roughly know what it is."

She had just picked up the headphones and monitored the radio waves she had just received, and had already deciphered them in her mind.

Nicola added, "They responded the same way last time."

She paused and said, "How about we not ask them about the situation this time? Instead, we ask who sent the original telegram?"

Alexis nodded, "Okay."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer and took out a telegram.

Odysseus went forward and took a look, and saw that the content of the telegram was: Mom is still waiting for my copper penny to buy medicine.

After Alexis sent the corresponding telegram, the two people waited quietly in front of the telegraph machine.

Da da da……

Soon, the telegraph machine started working again and typed out a telegram: It's me, sir. My mother is sick and is waiting for my salary to buy medicine. Kind sir, please come and save us quickly. Our family needs us and our salary even more.

After consulting with Nicola, Alexis asked again: What's your name? How old are you? What kind of work are you doing that got you stuck?
A few seconds later, they received a new telegram: "Sir, my name is Buck Bruce. I'm 13 years old. We were working underground repairing cables when a landslide occurred and we've been trapped for a while. Fortunately, there's a telegraph line in this cable shaft, so we can get in touch with the outside world."

Alexis glanced at Nicola, then remembered that she couldn't meet her gaze.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "When we first received that telegram, it was already 12 days ago. They must have really been killed."

Da da da……

At this moment, the telegraph machine suddenly started working again, and soon received a new telegram: "Sir, are you mistaken? The first telegram I sent was clearly sent three hours ago."

After Alexis saw what was on the paper, she immediately stood up: "He...they can hear our conversation."

Da da da……

The sound of the telegraph machine became increasingly urgent: "Sir, we can not only hear your conversation, but we can also see what's going on over there! I see... I see a very terrifying force in your room. Get out of there! Get out of there!"

After seeing the new content, Alexis felt goosebumps all over her body.

He quickly looked around and saw nothing!

Then he asked Nicola stutteringly: "Did you...did you hear any strange noises?"

Nicola had already heard the contents of the telegram through monitoring. Her face turned pale and she listened attentively. After a few seconds, she said, "No, we didn't hear anything."

Da da da!
The telegraph machine began to beep rapidly again: Sir, it is right behind you, very close to you...

Alexis almost jumped up from the chair, held Nicola's hand, looked around, and called for help.

But he was horrified to find that he had only opened his mouth but no sound came out.

"Sorry, if I let you call for help, it will mess things up." Odysseus, wearing a wizard robe, ended his invisibility.

Neither Bernadette nor Odysseus had expected that those suspected undead guys could actually see the two demigods in their invisible state.

However, it is more likely that he saw Bernadette's "invisible servant", because it is difficult to be discovered after Odysseus becomes invisible.

Odysseus ignored Alexis and Nicola who were trembling in fear, but raised the "Staff of Gus" first. For a moment, the starlight on the top of the staff was shining brightly, and a ray of starlight covered the telegraph, completing the basic seal and preventing the undead from looking at this side.

Only then did Odysseus smile kindly and say to Alexis and Nicola, "Have you heard of 'Gandalf the Wizard'?"

He had obtained relevant intelligence. There were some stories about "The Wizard Gandalf" circulating in the aristocratic circles, and he believed that Alexis should have heard of them.

Sure enough, after hearing what Odysseus said, Alexis was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded.

But to Odysseus and Alexis's surprise, Nicola also nodded.

Odysseus snapped his fingers. "Alright, you can talk now. But if you shout too loudly, the sound will disappear."

Alexis immediately asked, "Sir, are you Gandalf the Wizard? I have heard of your deeds."

He originally thought that those were all made-up stories, but after witnessing the wizard's magical "sudden appearance", he realized that those stories were true.

"I am the wizard." Then Odysseus asked Nicola curiously, "How do you know me?"

"My mother once heard that you had cured some children of strange diseases, so she asked about your deeds," Nicola replied.

When Odysseus played the role of a "wizard", he did help several children cure diseases caused by extraordinary factors.

At the same time, he quickly realized that Nicola's mother wanted to find the "Wizard Gandalf" in the hope of curing her daughter's blindness.

Odysseus then said, "I accidentally became aware of what you are investigating. Now the situation is beyond your capabilities, so leave it to me to investigate.

"But before that, you have to tell me what happened to you."

Alexis glanced at the telegraph machine covered in starlight before saying, "No problem, but I have one condition. We hope to join the investigation."

He continued, "We won't cause you any trouble. If you tell us to run, we'll run. If you tell us to stop, we'll stop. We...we just want to know what's going on."

Odysseus thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, no problem."

So Alexis and Nicola took turns speaking and explained their findings.

Twelve days ago, when Nicola was helping Alexis debug the telegraph machine, she accidentally received a telegram. The content of the telegram was: Mom is still waiting for my copper penny to buy medicine.

Both of them felt very strange at the time and thought someone had sent the wrong telegram.

But Odysseus keenly noticed: I was promoted to Sequence 13 4 days ago, and the corresponding strange events occurred 12 days ago. The 'God of Steam and Machinery' or the 'Hidden Sage', these two are quite fast.

Thinking of this, he continued to listen to the two people's descriptions.

A few days later, they received the same telegram again, which caught their attention.

However, the two people discussed this issue for a long time but could not reach a conclusion. They could only continue to observe how the situation developed.

It was not until they received the same telegram for the third time that they made a bold decision to inquire about the other party's situation. As a result, they received shocking news that nine workers encountered a landslide during construction and they were now waiting for rescue.

Alexis immediately took the telegram and called the police, thinking that the matter would end there.

Just a few days ago, he asked his friends in the police force to inquire about the case. After investigation, the police did not find any such accident and the investigation did not produce any results.

Alexis immediately realized that the company involved was likely covering up the accident.

Because if someone dies in an accident during construction, the company will have to pay a large sum of money. But if the accident is concealed and those people are deemed missing, they only need to pay a few dozen pounds in compensation.

Just as he was telling Nicola about his discovery, they received the same telegram again. Alexis thought there were survivors and immediately asked about their approximate location.

Instead of sending anyone to rescue them, he thought it was a good opportunity to take a risk, so he took Nicola to the location mentioned in the telegram, entered the sewer, and searched for the scene of the incident.

They didn't encounter any collapsed areas, nor did they find anything worth noting around there.

Hearing this, Odysseus sighed that these two people were really lucky.

He estimated that this was the result of the intervention of the "Goddess of Night". Without this intervention, it is conceivable that the young man and woman would never come back.

Count Vincent will send people to look for and search for them based on the clues they left behind, and it is estimated that most of these people will never come back.

Then came the search by the police and official Beyonders. If a few more people died, they'd likely accumulate enough power to trigger an Beyonder event that could threaten Odysseus, who seemed completely unrelated to this incident. Odysseus knew what happened next. Their exploration yielded no clues, and they realized they might have encountered something unexplainable by science.

So Alexis began to inquire about some extraordinary information and asked a friend to inquire about the news at the corresponding telegraph company. Sure enough, he found a record of an accident, but no specific information about the accident.

Backlund's commercial telegraph system was highly developed. The city was so vast that transmitting information via telegraph was much faster than taking a horse-drawn carriage.

However, since this world does not use electricity, there are naturally no electric poles, so telegraph lines are generally run underground in special cable wells.

Odysseus thought for a moment, then came to the telegraph machine and lifted the seal of the starlight.

Then let Alexis report: Where are you exactly? How many people are still alive?

The telegram was sent, and after a few seconds, a "da da da" sound automatically sounded, and a new telegram was received: Who are you? The danger we just saw did not come from you.

Odysseus asked Alexis to report: Answer my questions and I will get compensation for each of your families.

After sending the telegram, Alexis was stunned for a moment: Talking about compensation with a ghost, this... is this possible?
Da da da……

A few seconds later, the telegraph rang: We were repairing the cable shaft at the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Burningham Road when the accident occurred. All nine of our team are still alive.

Alexis was a little stunned: Ghost... is also worried about the compensation?

At this time, Odysseus said: "Send them a message and tell them to hold on. I will be there soon."

Alexis was convinced and immediately sent the message as instructed.

Da da da……

The telegraph machine ticked much faster than before. The message read: "We know you're different from others. If you come here, we might die and never see our families again. You devil, don't come here..."

After seeing the garbled text, Odysseus quickly raised the "Staff of Gus" to hide the font typed by the telegraph machine.

Alexis only watched a short clip and his head started to swell. If he had seen too much, his mind would have been polluted.

"I have the address." Odysseus took out the paper and turned off the transmitter, then asked, "Do you want to follow?"

Alexis immediately stood up: "Go."

Odysseus nodded and said, "When you come back, destroy the transmitter. Otherwise, it is very likely to receive strange telegrams again."

Alexis nodded immediately: "Yes."

But he thought to himself: He is indeed a professional who can solve such strange incidents. He has thought of such details for us.

Then Alexis remembered and asked Nicola if she was willing to continue investigating.
After receiving a positive answer, he was about to prepare the carriage, but Odysseus stopped him: "The next journey may be a little magical for you, be prepared."

As he spoke, the staff in Odysseus's hand once again emitted brilliant starlight, and the starlight surrounded the three people. Alexis only felt a flash before his eyes, and suddenly he became shorter and appeared in a wonderful space.

It was only a second or two before Alexis's sight suddenly rose higher and he saw a busy street with people coming and going, newsboys waving newspapers, and two rows of orderly carriages.

Nicola was also surprised. She actually heard the newsboy's cry and the ringing of carriage bells.

Alexis realized belatedly that the experience he had just had was like suddenly sinking underground, then quickly moving through Backlund's underground, and finally returning to the street.

While marveling at the sight, he saw a road sign not far away that read "Berningham Road." He whispered to Nicola beside him, "We've arrived on Berningham Road."

Nicola's face was filled with even greater surprise: "Goddess! This is the most incredible thing I've ever experienced!"

At this time, Alexis discovered that the people around him were not surprised at the sudden appearance of the three of them.

He grabbed Nicola's hand and quickly followed Gandalf the Wizard's steps: "Mr. Wizard, did the people around us...didn't the people around us see our sudden appearance?"

Odysseus was walking slowly ahead, searching for the location of the cable shaft. He casually explained, "We are now invisible, and they can't see us."

Nicola couldn't hide her surprise in her tone: "Can't you hear it either?"

"No, I can't hear it either," Odysseus replied.

Sequence 5 level "Invisibility" is far from achieving this.

In other words, after using "invisibility" at that time, he could not use other witchcraft. Now that he has become a "mystic", his ability in "witchcraft" has been strengthened again. While using "invisibility", Odysseus can also use "silencing" at the same time.

So now the "invisibility technique" can really hide traces completely, and it can last for up to 1 hour.

Soon, Odysseus roughly found the location of the cable well: "Did you enter the sewer from around here last time?"

Alexis replied, "It's almost here."

Odysseus said "hmm", and the tip of the staff showed starlight again. Alexis' eyes blurred again, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in the sewer.

Nicola smelled the odors in the surrounding environment and understood what she had just experienced. She exclaimed in her heart, "It's amazing."

The sewer was very dirty, with rats running around everywhere. Odysseus frowned and raised the "Staff of Gus". A path appeared in front of them, which seemed to lead to the depths of the forest. There were white stones on the path, which looked like small silver coins.

Odysseus "recreated" the path marked by his brother in "Hansel and Gretel". By following this path, he could reach his destination without passing through the dirty sewer.

"Let's go." Odysseus led the way and strode forward.

Nicola felt the road beneath his feet suddenly become flat, and there was no more sewer smell. He also felt Alexis's hand tightening around his, so he asked Alexis, "What happened?"

"Goddess," Alexis said, "I swear, even in my most fantastic imagination, I could not imagine such wonderful witchcraft!

“Nicola, we were in the sewer just a second ago, and now we’re on a forest path!

"Look, there's a white cat on that tree, waving hello to us."

When Nicola heard this description, she also felt the lack of her imagination.

While they were talking, Odysseus said, "We're here."

The forest disappeared, the path disappeared, and the dim sewer scene appeared before them again.

Alexis couldn't tell what was reality and what was an illusion for a moment.

Odysseus looked around. They did not appear in front of a cable well. In front of them was a straight sewer, and thick cables were hanging on the wall of the sewer.

Alexis said at this time: "We have looked here before, but we found nothing."

Odysseus hummed and carefully observed the surrounding walls.

He soon saw the clue: "This is a very advanced magic circle, but I don't feel a very strong extraordinary aura.

"Well, perhaps this 'integrated magic array' hasn't gathered enough power yet.

"Get ready, I'm going to open this magic circle."

Alexis thought it was a warning to him, so she quickly took a step back and pushed Nicola behind her.

At this time, both of them were very nervous and could feel the sweat on each other's palms.

But at the same time, they were very curious and didn't know what would happen next.

The head of the "Staff of Gus" in Odysseus's hand flashed with starlight again, and those starlights condensed and turned into "Gal Runes".

The runes floated into the wall in front of him, causing it to glow brightly.

The light flashed, and the wall suddenly opened, revealing a passage in front of them.

The cable well that Alexis and Nicola hadn't found before was not far ahead.

Odysseus took a look at the situation ahead and said, "Wait here, don't go forward."

As Alexis nodded, he saw that there was no landslide in the cable shaft ahead, but more than a dozen bodies were piled there.

They were lying there in a fan-shaped radial pattern, each with their left hand stretched out, touching the thigh-thick cable from different positions.

And that cable was now strangely emitting a pale golden light.

The light shone on the stiff corpses, as if it was the light of salvation for them.

After just one glance, Alexis was stunned by the strange scene before him. He quickly took two steps back and whispered to Nicola about what he saw.

At this time, Odysseus stepped forward cautiously, observed carefully, and came to the pile of corpses.

The bodies have now been piled up in two layers. On the bottom layer are nine workers in work clothes, one of whom looks to be a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

Judging from their clothing, the corpses on the second floor looked like passersby who had strayed into this place, as well as some homeless people.

They seemed to be worshiping the cables devoutly, which looked a bit weird, but also had an inexplicable sense of sacredness.

Suddenly, all the corpses seemed to be electrocuted. They stood up stiffly and looked at Odysseus together.

The eyes of each corpse were replaced by a pale yellow, scrolling stream of information.

Alexis outside felt so excited and scared when he saw this that he forgot to escape for a moment.

Odysseus smiled and said, "As expected, the 'Secret Peeper' path is not good at manipulating corpses."

As he spoke, he raised the staff in his hand, and suddenly a tall, pressure-inducing bronze door appeared in the not-so-large cable well.

What Odysseus "reappeared" was the "Gate of the Underworld", and it was a "Gate of the Underworld" at the demigod level. Although it could not be opened and did not have much killing power against normal enemies, it could put tremendous pressure on undead creatures.

Those corpses in strange states were crawling on the ground, bowing reverently towards the gate.

Alexis and Nicola outside also felt a shudder in their souls. They felt the surroundings suddenly become cold, as if a pair of malicious eyes were spying on their souls.

At this time, Odysseus stepped forward and was about to deal with the piece of cable that was emitting bright light.

Suddenly, the light from the cable became stronger, and the corpses on the ground that were saluting the "Gate of the Underworld" suddenly turned over with difficulty, and looked at Odysseus with their eyes that seemed to have a stream of information.

Odysseus was prepared and raised his staff slightly. Amidst the bright starlight, an illusory guqin and an illusory bull appeared in front of him.

The mystery reappears: playing the lute to a cow!
During his previous experiments, Odysseus discovered that the "reproduced" ability of "playing the lute to a cow" could make him and his opponent not on the same channel, or even seem to be in a different space.

This allows one to defend against or become immune to extraordinary attacks at the demigod level.

At this time, the attack launched by the optical cable and the corpse had no effect at all.

While being immune to the attacks, Odysseus also opened the "Eye of Prying Eyes" and saw the extraordinary attacks launched by the cables and corpses.

The pale golden light emitted by the cable was actually an illusory magic circle, which seemed to have been connected to the brains of the corpses in advance.

All the memories, knowledge, thoughts, etc. of the dozen or so corpses during their lifetime, all the information in their brains were concentrated together and instantly shot towards Odysseus.

In Odysseus's opinion, the theory of this attack is a bit like that of a computer virus. The massive amount of information makes it difficult for the target's brain to process it all at once, resulting in a state similar to "crash", or even directly losing normal thinking and turning into a madman.

Unfortunately, we have only accumulated information on a dozen people and can only barely launch a demigod-level attack.

Moreover, the ability that Odysseus "reappeared" was also very appropriate. No matter how effective the attack was, Odysseus "could not understand" it.

At the same time, he was a little scared. If he allowed this "cable" to collect more information, reaching hundreds or even thousands of people, this problem would be difficult to solve, and it might even launch an angel-level attack on Odysseus.

At that moment, after Odysseus's "cable" attack ended, the "Staff of Gus" immediately flashed with new starlight and quickly condensed.

Odysseus waved his hand, and the condensed starlight was like the sharpest blade, cutting off the "cable". He then took out a sealing magic circle drawn on cloth from the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and wrapped the cable.

Without the pale golden light of the cable, the corpses fell down together, the information flow in their eyes disappeared, the eyeballs were gone, and only a black eye socket remained.

Odysseus checked the bodies before quickly leaving and coming out of the sewer.

Alexis asked in a less-than-sure tone, "Is the problem solved?"

Odysseus said, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Alexis didn't expect that the problem that had troubled them for more than ten days could be solved so easily!
At this time, he and Nicola had many questions in their minds, but before they had time to ask, a bizarre scene appeared in front of them again. When they came to their senses, they had returned to the room where there were telegraph machines and other machines on the workbench.

Just after they left, on the street above the cable shaft.

A homeless man lying on the ground suddenly stood up. The moment he opened his eyes, a stream of information seemed to flash across his pupils.

Then he whispered reverently: "The essence of knowledge, the hidden sage.

"I will continue the great unfinished task of spreading the storm of knowledge."

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and left quickly.

……

After returning to Count Vincent's residence, Odysseus said, "If you have any questions, please ask."

Alexis immediately asked, "Mr. Wizard, what are those corpses?"

Odysseus patted the sealed cable in his other hand and said, "This cable has been influenced by an evil god and has become aggressive. It has killed some people and turned their corpses into its puppets."

He felt that what he encountered today was most likely a "surprise" given to him by the "Hidden Sage".

Nicola was a little bit unbelievable: "A piece of cable was affected?"

The reason why she heard the story was that the evil god would influence those who were not pious in their belief in the gods and those who had evil thoughts, turning them into insane demons.

But...but now this wizard told her that a piece of cable without intelligence could also be affected by the evil god and had killed more than a dozen innocent people!
Odysseus did not explain to them concepts such as the "authority of knowledge". The information transmitted in the cable represents the knowledge transformed by humans, which is in line with the corresponding authority of the "Hidden Sage".

He said to Alexis, "Now let's discuss the aftermath. This kind of thing is not suitable for me to step forward. I hope you can step forward and fight for compensation for those workers and those who died in the accident.

"You should also be aware that the youngest worker is only 13 years old, and his mother seems to be ill. I don't know if she has recovered yet. It's very likely that his family has gone bankrupt."

This compensation should actually be asked from the "Hidden Sage", but Odysseus cannot find this evil god, and even if he finds him, he will not get any compensation and will have to pay for it himself.

He felt that letting the telegraph company pay the compensation would be in line with the concept of "killing the rich and helping the poor", so he did not feel any psychological pressure.

Alexis immediately said: "I will come forward to resolve this matter and will definitely give you a satisfactory result."

Then he hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Mr. Wizard, could you please heal Miss Nicola's eyes? I can pay you."
