Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 5 The Mysterious Mr. Fool

At this moment, Odysseus understood why he was here!
The space of infinite knowledge that he could enter had some kind of reaction with Klein's "Source Castle" at the "Roselle Memorial Exhibition".

This reaction eventually formed a gray, palm-sized sphere after Klein's spirit left, for some reason.

Only then did Odysseus realize that it should be an "invitation" and a "pass".

With the influence of the sphere on his own spirit, he came to the spirit world and arrived outside the "Source Castle" in an unconscious dream state.

but……

Odysseus was somewhat helpless: "Brother, you should give me all the passes!" It's okay if people can't get in, but please don't let the dogs bite me, okay?

"Open the door! Your dog is going to bite someone." He shouted while looking for a way to climb over the wall.

Fortunately, those Fulgrim dogs seemed to sense some of the aura of "Source Castle" on Odysseus's spirit, so they were still a little worried and did not launch an immediate attack for a while.

But Odysseus could feel that their aggressiveness was growing stronger and stronger, and they might pounce on him and eat him in the next second.

The high walls around it don't even have a crack in the bricks. Besides, this is a castle derived from the source material. How can you just climb over it?

dong dong dong~
"Open the door quickly!" Odysseus wondered whether he should reveal the information about the "Fool" in order to gain a chance of survival?
Woo~
A loud roar sounded, as if it was the signal to launch an attack. More than a dozen black figures rushed over and pounced on Odysseus.

He leaned against the door with a look of horror on his face. Odysseus was only a Sequence 9 and was certainly no match for these Fulgrim dogs.

squeak~
At this time, the door opened a gap that was only wide enough for one person to enter.

The dogs of Fulgrim, who were already close at hand, immediately lay on the ground to show their submission.

Odysseus took advantage of this opportunity and slipped into the castle.

squeak~
The castle gate closed again by itself.

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief, for he knew that The Fool would not stand by and watch him die.

Just as he felt relieved, Odysseus saw the gray fog spreading in front of him, and suddenly thought of another thing: Will the aura of "Source Castle" contaminate me?

But then he thought again: Since Klein let me in, he must have protected me from contamination. Otherwise, I would have lost control and turned into a monster just by taking a look at the "Source Castle" from the outside.

At this time, the gray fog in front of him rolled and dispersed, revealing a very tall palace that seemed to be prepared for giants.

In the middle of the hall, there is a long, mottled bronze table, with high-backed chairs engraved with occult symbols on both sides, above and below.

Deep in the hall, at the head of a long bronze table, sat a mysterious and powerful blurry figure.

Odysseus was stunned at first. He remembered seeing a courtyard behind the gate from the outside, so how come he was entering the hall?

But then he came to his senses, bowed and said, "Great and mysterious being, are you the one who summoned me here?"

Say this first to avoid fools asking: How did you get here?

If it were a true secret existence, even if Odysseus said so, he would most likely still ask this question, but The Fool is currently just an empty shell, and he has to be serious about everything, so naturally he would not ask such a question easily.

When the time comes, just say a few words and ask the other party to send you away.

Klein the Fool asked in a low voice, "What are you doing at the Kingdom Museum tonight?"

Klein felt strange after being in the gray fog. He was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a knock on the door.

After waking up, I realized that someone was knocking on the door of the space "above the gray fog"!
Arriving "above the gray fog," Klein was even more surprised. Someone was actually knocking urgently at the door. He had just peered through the door and spotted Odysseus. This young man with black hair, whose face was obscured by the gray fog, struck Klein as very familiar.

So he quickly used "Dream Divination" to "recall" where he had seen this young man, and the image he got was the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition".

This made Klein very alert. Fortunately, "above the gray fog" belonged to his world, and he had nothing to fear. So he rescued Odysseus and prepared to ask this young man if he was related to the mysterious and terrifying lady he met that night.

Odysseus looked at The Fool in surprise, then lowered his head as if he understood something.

His series of actions were not fake. He was indeed a little surprised that The Fool knew his whereabouts at night, but then he remembered that The Fool was best at divination, and he must have divined some information, so he had an expression as if he understood.

But in Mr. Fool's opinion, Odysseus's expression was as if he was first surprised by his own words, and then seemed to understand that such a "mysterious and great existence" could certainly know his whereabouts.

Thinking of this, Klein, hidden behind the gray fog, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling a sense of "steady control."

Odis paused for a moment before answering, "Great Being, I appeared there under duress."

He knew that he had to tell the truth in such matters because the Fool had the ability to detect lies.

Just as Odysseus expected, the hand that Klein placed under the bronze table was used to divine whether Odysseus was lying.

After concluding that what the young man said was true, Klein asked again, "Who coerced you?"

"A mysterious and powerful lady."

Klein nodded slowly, realizing that the young man before him was the one associated with the "mysterious lady." "Why did she threaten you?"

"I have made some research achievements in extraordinary weapons, which attracted the attention of that lady. She wanted to force me to make some deals."

Odysseus's words were very deceptive. In fact, Bernadette's main purpose was to prevent him from falling into the hands of that mysterious organization, but Bernadette was indeed very interested in those research results and had the idea of trading with him, so she would not be discovered if she only told part of the truth.

Klein, who was behind the gray fog, asked again, "Did you...did you make the deal?"

He originally wanted to ask, "Are you a craftsman? What exactly is your research?", but he felt that a great being should not be interested in such things, so he simply focused on the "mysterious lady".

After all, the power of the "Mysterious Lady" is obvious to all. It is normal for a mysterious being like "The Fool" to be interested in a High-Sequence Beyonder.

Odysseus said truthfully: "It's a deal."

Klein hummed, as if lost in thought.

He turned on his Clairvoyance and could only see that Odysseus was a Sequence 9, but he couldn't tell what path this young man had taken.

But no matter what, it is a very rare thing for a Sequence 9 to be able to create extraordinary weapons.

Lacking a stable channel, Klein considered investigating her further. He asked, "Do you want to be able to deal with her?"

Odysseus was slightly taken aback, and immediately said, "I don't want to."

Originally, Klein thought the young man would say "yes," and then he would issue a few tasks and use the opportunity to observe him. Not only would he get a free assistant, but he would also get more detailed information about him and clues about the mysterious lady.

But when the other party said "no," Klein couldn't help but nod. This answer was very much to his liking.
