Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 49 Lelouch

When the butler-like staff member was explaining the rules, there was actually an implicit rule that he didn't mention: if the strength gap between the two sides is too great, the bell will be rung in advance.

But this rarely happens because when arranging competitions, the organizers will put opponents of equal strength together.

But an accident happened today. The organizer arranged a Sequence 9 level opponent for him based on Simon's description of Odysseus.

This young man has participated in several competitions and is very good at both fighting skills and the use of cold weapons. The organizer originally planned to use him to suppress Odysseus to prevent the newcomer from becoming too arrogant in the future.

What they didn't expect was that Odysseus had never used his full strength in front of Simon before!
So the young man was no match for his opponent, so the bell was rung early.

There was another round of applause from the stands. For those spectators, although the game was short, it was very exciting.

The masked newcomer's fighting style was clearly more effective in restraining his opponent's more aggressive attacking style.

Odysseus did not continue to attack, but took a few steps back and slowly drew his weapon.

The young man was really strong, and Odysseus seriously suspected that he was an extraordinary person from the "Warrior" path.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, took a deep breath, and drew his weapon.

It was a snow-white knife that looked very sharp.

The young man adjusted his breathing and felt that he was able to fight again, but this time he did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he waited cautiously for Odysseus to make a move.

Odysseus glanced at the hilt of his opponent's sword, then smiled and said, "Surrender, you have already lost."

The young man snorted coldly and said nothing, still staring at Odysseus.

Finally, Odysseus made his move, and the young man frowned because his opponent's sword-drawing posture was a bit awkward, or seemed a bit clumsy.

But the young man did not dare to be careless. He carefully drew his knife and blocked the opponent's sword.

At the moment when the knife touched his sword, he saw a flash of electricity on the opponent's weapon. The next second, his whole body trembled and half of his body was numb by electricity.

The weapon in Odysseus's hand is certainly not just a simple cold weapon. The sword in his hand is an extraordinary weapon that can release high-voltage current in an instant.

This was a weapon that Odysseus had made while he was studying the electric currents of this world. After making it, he felt it was a bit useless because the sword cost as much as 230 pounds, but the enemy could easily win with a revolver that cost less than 2 pounds, so it was kept in the basement and never used.

Actually, there is no place to use it. You can't run around the streets with a sword on your back, right?

However, in this noble fighting arena, that is where those cold weapons with extraordinary appearance come in handy!

Although the hilts or sword handles of the opponent's weapons may be made of wood and seem non-conductive, Odysseus later discovered that in order to prevent the hilts or sword handles of such long weapons from falling off, a metal wedge is used to fix the hilt to the blade.

Otherwise, use a metal hoop to secure the wooden handle.

In short, most of the time, there is a way to conduct electricity.

But today, Odysseus's opponent actually used a metal handle, so he was electrocuted so hard that his whole body trembled and he quickly retreated.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been knocked to the ground by the electric shock.

"Referee..." The young man was so shocked that he was a little tongue-tied. "There's something wrong with his sword... his sword."

Odysseus said loudly, "The rules say you can bring a cold weapon, but there's no stipulation on whether that cold weapon has extraordinary effects."

The young man was furious: "You...you call this a cold weapon?"

Odysseus said calmly: "It can bark. After all, it can't fire bullets."

At this time, the referee who was watching the game from a high place finally said: "The rules do not stipulate that weapons cannot have extraordinary effects. This weapon is effective." To be more precise, the organizer hoped that both sides would use extraordinary weapons, so that the game would be more entertaining.

Odysseus said again: "Surrender."

"As a qualified warrior, surrender is not an option!" The young man dropped the knife in his hand, picked up the easy chair on the street and rushed towards Odysseus.

Odysseus dodged the opponent's attack easily, then stabbed the opponent with his sword, and at this moment released high-voltage current again.

This time the young man was electrocuted so much that he fell to the ground convulsing.

Odysseus laughed and said, "A true warrior is not as stubborn as you."

At this point the referee announced: "The masked man wins!"

There was sparse applause from the stands. They would rather see a fight to the death than this one-sided battle.

Of course, Odysseus didn't care about the feelings of these nobles and wealthy people. He put away his sword and quickly left through the iron gate.

After exiting the iron gate, the man who looked like a butler said, "Sir, please leave your name so that we can arrange a new match for you."

Odysseus was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth curled up: "Lelouch!"

"Okay, Mr. Lelouch." The other party said politely, "Please wait a moment, your reward will be delivered soon."

Odysseus sat down again and saw a middle-aged man with a small mustache sitting opposite him. The man was carrying a two-handed sword and was quietly thinking with one hand on the sword.

This is probably the next Beyonder to come on stage.

A minute or two later, a waiter came quickly and handed Odysseus a reward of 260 pounds.

They were all 10-pound notes, and they didn't look very thick.

Simon said goodbye politely to the man who looked like a butler and left in the rented carriage he had come in.

After getting in the carriage, Odysseus took out three banknotes and handed them to Simon: "I'll give you an extra 4 pounds. When you have time, come and do some activities and understand the rules here.

"Also, find a way to get information about my opponent."

Simon smiled and put the money away: "Yes, yes, leave this to me."

Odysseus said nothing more and asked a carriage to take him back to 75 Hailin Avenue.

Back at his residence, Odysseus took off his mask, changed into loose clothes, and poured himself a glass of wine to celebrate.

After the promotion, I didn't digest the potion very well today, but I have already earned more than 500 pounds using my new ability.

Adding Odysseus's previous savings, the deposit paid by Bernadette, and the intelligence fees earned from the previous occult research society, all added together, Odysseus's savings were now close to three thousand pounds.

It's been a long time since I had so much money.

But by tomorrow he would have plenty to spend his money on.

After putting the money in the safe, Odysseus took a shower, lay down on the bed to review the battle that night, and then fell into a deep sleep.

His consciousness reappeared in the wilderness composed of illusory light.

A new week of research began, but after his promotion, the "Wilderness of Knowledge" seemed to have changed.
