Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 42 Five Pages of Russell's Diary

In the information Odysseus provided to everyone, he explained in detail what extraordinary characteristics are, and mentioned a little knowledge about the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics and the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.

This immediately made Xio feel that his money was well spent. This was obviously very advanced intelligence, and here, it could be sold for just over 20 pounds.

What she didn't know was that her good friend Fors had just learned this information at the Tarot Club and was currently racking her brains to think of a natural way to tell her.

In the living room, the members who received the information fell silent for a moment, because they immediately realized one thing: Beyonders are walking gold pounds.

According to the information provided by the "leader", extraordinary characteristics are expensive and can even replace the main ingredients of potions. So even if there is no hatred between two extraordinary people, as long as one of them sets his eyes on the other's extraordinary characteristics, it is very likely that a life-and-death fight will break out.

Afterwards, they became wary of everyone around them, but then they felt a little relieved when they thought that this party was relatively reliable.

Soon they began to suspect several extraordinary people they usually interacted with, but then they breathed a sigh of relief because only a limited number of people knew this knowledge.

They got this knowledge first, which was equivalent to having great initiative.

While this transaction was taking place, other intelligence transactions were also ongoing.

One piece of information caught Odysseus's attention: Blair, a wealthy merchant in Backlund, issued a mission with a high commission: on a full-moon night, take a carriage provided by him and wander around Backlund.

It is said that this wealthy businessman had the urge to do an experiment to see if there was a higher chance of encountering ghosts during a full moon.

This mission can only be undertaken by extraordinary people, and many members expressed disappointment as they originally wanted to earn this money.

This looks like a wealthy businessman squandering his money on some ridiculous things.

However, Odysseus, who had extensive experience in intelligence work, immediately realized that this matter was somewhat unusual, and further speculated that it might be related to the "Rose School".

First of all, the specific condition of "full moon" makes people think of "werewolf" and "vampire".

But Odysseus thought again that Sharon, Klein and others had just clashed with the "Indulgence Faction" of the "Rose School". Sharon and Maric must have been hiding recently. Perhaps only during the full moon could we find any clues about them.

After all, there is only one "Crimson Moon Corona", and it is used by either Sharon or Maric. During the full moon, one of them will be very weak, which may cause some strange phenomena to occur around where they are hiding.

Odysseus didn't show any interest in the matter, but he had already decided in his heart that he would go directly to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute and tell Max about this information and his own conjecture.

The trading lasted for another half an hour, during which everyone traded and exchanged information.

At the end of the party, "Giraffe" said that he had collected some "Emperor Roselle's Notes" and wanted to sell them to the "Chief".

Odysseus picked up the notebook and roughly sorted it out. There were 18 pages of one type, and the paper looked a little yellowed. He took out nine of them and said, "The symbols on these pages are similar to the notebooks on display at the memorial exhibition. They are fakes."

What he collected was the "relics of Emperor Roselle", so he didn't want any copied items.

Then he picked out another four: "There's something wrong with the paper on these four sheets. They're also fakes."

In fact, the sentences don't make sense and it's obviously fake.

Giraffe sighed: "I didn't expect that you also have unique vision and insights in antiques."

Odysseus smiled and said, "I want these five pages. They're 10 pounds each."

This was indeed a good price. Generally speaking, a page of the handwritten "Roselle Notebook" could be sold for one or two pounds. If it was authentic, the price would be between 5 and 8 pounds. But in order to show that he was buying it at a high price, Odysseus gave a little more. After all, it was not his own money.

Later, someone brought Russell's "relics" to trade with Odysseus. Odysseus was not in the antique business, so of course he could not tell whether they were genuine or not.

He had no choice but to use divination to confirm that during the "Mystery Peeper" stage, the results obtained by Odysseus using "Astrological Divination" were about the same level as those of the "Fortune Teller".

But it is limited to "astrological divination". Unless there is the help of rituals, the results of other types of divination will be much worse than those of "fortune tellers".

After Odysseus was promoted to "Combat Scholar", his divination ability was slightly improved.

To be precise, it was not the ability to divine that improved, but the spirituality that became stronger, so the divination results were slightly more accurate than before.

If the divination inscriptions are too complicated, the divination results will still be very vague, but it is still possible to distinguish the true from the false.

From among the many "relics", Odysseus spent only 80 pounds to purchase a pen once used by Emperor Roselle.

This is a fountain pen with an Intis-style engraving on the pen cap. I didn’t expect that it can still be used after more than a hundred years.

After confirming that there were no more genuine items, Odysseus announced that the party was over.

He returned to the basement of 77 Hilton Avenue, Green Park South.

Taking off his mask and cloak, he transformed back into Odysseus, the owner of the herbal medicine shop.

This time, Odysseus simply took a rented carriage and headed to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute.

In the carriage, he took out the five pages of the diary and began to read:

May 12

Today I discussed with Bishop Van Esten what the "universalist" path actually represents. After the discussion, I found that this was of great help to my role.

Each path seems to have a core meaning, and no matter which sequence the performance is in, it seems that it cannot deviate too far from this core meaning.

For example, in the "generalists" pathway that I'm in, generalists have enhanced their abilities in learning, understanding, and practice, and can recall all the knowledge they've read before.

Sequence 8 "Archaeologist" also uses his knowledge to reach a conclusion.

Later on, although the professions involved were different, the qualitative changes that potions brought to me seemed to be towards strengthening the learning and utilization of knowledge, especially the utilization of knowledge. This made my "hands-on ability" extremely strong, which is the biggest difference from the "Reader".

What about other approaches? Do they also share this core meaning? For example, the core meaning of the "Mystery Peeper" approach is "knowledge itself," so all acting cannot be separated from the concept of "knowledge"?
What about the "Hunter" path? It's inseparable from the "Iron Man"? Hahaha, this reminds me of that idiot Florent again.

After reading this page of the diary, Odysseus vaguely remembered that Florian was a member of the Soran family who controlled the "Hunter" path.

One of his ancestors was suspected to have been a woman, but after reaching Sequence 4, she became a "hard-blooded man". Russell tried to make fun of this nobleman several times.

Then Odysseus nodded slowly: Does this guy Russell occasionally think about some more profound things?

For example, this page of the diary reminds Odysseus that even if he is a "combat scholar", he should not deviate from the core meaning of "knowledge" when acting.
