Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 43 Russell's Thought Experiment
Although Odysseus had some ideas about how to play the role of a "combat scholar", he always felt that he had not thought of the key to the problem.

Russell's reminder made him suddenly realize that the core of the role cannot be separated from "knowledge itself".

When he was fighting in the underworld boxing before, Odysseus felt that fighting with others was just a role model at best, and his magic potion showed no signs of being digested.

Now he finally understood that fighting was just about accumulating practical experience, but the core of acting was still to think about the knowledge that could be gained from fighting.

As for what kind of knowledge he could get, Odysseus instantly thought of things like boxing manuals.

He thought about it carefully. In this extraordinary world, although there are many fighting schools, those schools basically only have something like a "general outline" and there are no books that systematically explain fighting.

Odysseus felt that he could try to write a book of this kind, but at the same time he should also focus on actual combat. The experience and cases gained in actual combat, as well as the thinking about fighting, should be the true meaning of playing the role of a "combat scholar."

Thinking of this, he continued browsing and turned to the second page of the diary, which was an analysis of the former royal family of Intis, the Soren family.

It can be seen that when Russell wrote this diary, he was already preparing to overthrow the royal family.

This analysis is quite interesting, but it is outdated because the Sauron family has long been weakened. According to some information that Odysseus accidentally obtained, this family seems to have no angels.

At least not on the surface. Even if there is a hidden angel, its condition probably won’t be much better.

The content on the third page was also uninteresting. It was about the process of Russell "inventing" the flush toilet shortly after he traveled through time.

The content on the fourth page caught Odysseus's attention again:
June 11

Today I attended a secret gathering of that ancient organization again. I heard one of the members talking about occult symbols, which I found quite interesting.

That member believed that mystical symbols should have greater power and that magic circles should be more than just decorations.

He gave an example where he accidentally found a broken magic circle in an elf "relic".

The mystical symbols used by the elves are completely different from the current universal symbols. This member replicated the magic circle, and even in its incomplete state, electric current appeared in the magic circle.

He guessed that a complete magic circle should release a bolt of lightning.

This is very interesting. If it is a complete magic circle, can I use it to replace the generator?
But there is a fatal problem, which is that spirituality needs to be continuously injected into the magic circle.

Haha, instead of a group of extraordinary people injecting spiritual power into the magic circle, I might as well just ask a "Ocean Singer" to discharge the power.

However, after hearing my request, the "Ocean Singer" will most likely strike me with a bolt of lightning.

At the party, as soon as that member lamented the difficulty of completing the elves' magic circle, other members immediately expressed different opinions.

Two members gave very insightful speeches that hit the nail on the head.

One said: This is a world dominated by extraordinary characteristics.

One said: The magic circle is inconvenient to carry and can only be used in a fixed position.

Yes, one problem is that any Beyonder ability in this world is inseparable from Beyonder characteristics and spirituality. Especially Beyonder characteristics, some high-level magic arrays require the intervention of Beyonder power to display their powerful Beyonder abilities.

As for the inconvenience of carrying, it is another fatal flaw. Instead of studying such a hopeless magic circle, it is better to directly find the "Scroll Professor" and buy a few scrolls.

After reading this diary entry, Odysseus couldn't help but sigh: This world is not short of smart people! Over a hundred years ago, some people had already realized the wider effects of the magic circle, but the writing system of that era limited their research.

Thinking of this, Odysseus smiled knowingly. The reason why he had made very advanced research in this area was because he had an advantage that the extraordinary scholars in this world did not have: he knew hieroglyphics.

After coming to this world and studying for a period of time, Odysseus discovered that the mystical symbols of this world seemed to be an evolution of hieroglyphics.

After doing some research in this direction, he found that it was indeed the case: occult symbols were a special kind of hieroglyphics.

The civilizations of the northern and southern continents should have used hieroglyphics before, but around the Second Age, alphabetic writing became the mainstream and hieroglyphics disappeared in the long river of history.

The evolution and research of mystical symbols stopped at that era, so Odysseus tried to further deduce mystical symbols, and it turned out to have better effects.

This process is a bit like using simplified Chinese characters to deduce oracle bone inscriptions or bronze inscriptions. Although the process is very difficult, for Odysseus there are always traces to follow.

Odysseus read the contents of the diary again: According to legend, the elves came from the Western Continent, and the Western Continent should have inherited hieroglyphics, so the magic circles used by the elves should be different from those of the North and South Continents, and may be more effective.

It suddenly occurred to him that he could try to search the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to see if he could find some texts and magic circles of the elves.

Continuing to read, the fifth page is also uninteresting. It is Russell evaluating the figures of two noble ladies and the process of his acquaintance and in-depth communication with them.

It cannot be said to be boring, but it can be read as a novel with ambiguous plots.

After putting away the diary, Odysseus planned to hand over the five pages of the diary to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in a while to get reimbursed for the money he spent on purchasing the diary.

Then, you can hand it in when the Tarot Club comes... or you can hand it in to Mr. Fool in two installments, as a thank you for the help he provided before.

Now Odysseus has an excellent memory. He will never forget what he has just read once, so there is no need to copy it for a copy.

More than twenty minutes later, the carriage arrived at the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute. Odysseus found Max and, in a undisturbed reception room, explained his suspicions about the suspicious wealthy businessman, Blair.

Of course, names like Sharon wouldn't appear in his guess. Max had only told him before that a fight had recently broken out within the "Rose School" in an abandoned West Balam shipyard, which led him to this guess.

Although Odysseus repeatedly stated that this was just a guess based on his feeling, Max took it very seriously because Odysseus' feeling had helped them disrupt the actions of evil secret organizations many times.

Then, Odysseus reported that one of the members was investigating Capin's affairs.

Max was about to report this information to his superiors when he noticed that Odysseus did not leave immediately. He asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Odysseus said, "I also received several 'relics' from Emperor Roselle."

Max understood: "Reimburse the expenses."
