Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 7 Check yourself

After a minute or two, a tall figure appeared in Odysseus’ mind, and then a text appeared before his eyes: “A fool who does not belong to this era;
“The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;
"He is the Yellow and Black King who controls good luck."

Odysseus breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew the honorific name of The Fool, he did not know it through "formal channels" and did not dare to use it easily.

After standing up and thanking The Fool, he lay down again: "What happened last night and that gray sphere seemed to be prepared for me to attend the Tarot Club!"
As a "mysterious peeper", Odysseus occasionally becomes aware of the fluctuations in his own destiny.

Lying in bed, Odysseus thought a lot, and finally had to use "meditation" to fall asleep successfully.

The next morning, Odysseus simply washed up, bought a Dipsy pie on the street, and ate it while walking to the public carriage station.

With Odysseus's income, he could actually rent a small villa and buy or rent a carriage of his own.

However, the extraordinary research he usually conducts is very expensive, just like the revolver he carries with him that can release flames. In fact, it is not very useful to him, but in order to verify his research results, he can only use it as a test product.

This is just one of the less expensive research projects. For example, the magic circle in Odysseus's shirt, just that small piece of "Ajona Crystal" is worth 1200 pounds!
So Odysseus, who had a high income, only lived an ordinary middle-class life.

Also influenced by the ideas before the time travel, he tried to save as much as possible on daily expenses and usually took public carriages when traveling.

When the pie was finished, a public carriage slowly drove up and Odysseus got on the crowded carriage with the crowd.

……

On the second floor of the Kingdom Museum, in the restored study.

Max Livermore, leader of the "Mechanical Heart" team, asked his team, "Are you sure only two bookmarks were stolen?"

While speaking, he secretly glanced at the big shot who was standing in front of the desk with his back to him.

He was an old man wearing a white clerical robe and a clergyman's cap. He was the head of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in Backlund, a member of the Pre-Divine Council, and Archbishop Horamick Haydn.

The team member being questioned answered confidently: "Yes, only those two bookmarks were stolen."

Horamick's eyes flashed with an illusory light: "There were more than one person here last night, at least three people, divided into two opposing parties.

"One of them might even have a higher sequence than me, and he has an accomplice. It's hard to tell who's stronger, but what's certain is that he escaped in a strange way.

"The High-Sequence Personage immediately gave chase, while his accomplice... fled into the spirit world..."

Max, with his sharp features, guessed, "An Beyonder from the 'Apprentice' path?"

The illusory light in Horamick's eyes gradually disappeared, and he shook his head slightly: "It doesn't look like it."

Max nodded slowly. That must be the seal that used the "apprentice" method.

But Horamick frowned again and said, "It doesn't look like a seal was used."

Max looked puzzled. Not a Beyonder of the Apprentice Path? And not a Seal of that Path? That was strange...

"Things are more complicated than we thought." Horamick sighed with a soft expression, "I also know why they stole the bookmark.

"We've been deceived by Russell for over one hundred and fifty years!"

A little after four in the afternoon, a customer entered the shop. Kena, the fifteen-year-old clerk at Garr's Herbal Medicine Shop, stopped sorting the herbs and put on his warmest smile. "Excuse me... Oh, Mr. Livermore. Are you looking for Mr. Odysseus?"

Max Livermore, who had not slept all night and had been busy for most of the day, nodded slowly with some fatigue.

Kena, who looked very energetic, made a gesture to invite the inside of the store: "Please come in." Max opened the inner door with ease. Inside the store was a small courtyard, but it was filled with flower pots.

Some common herbs that do not have high requirements for the growing environment are planted in the flower pots.

There are two rooms after passing the yard. One room is a warehouse and utility room, and the other room is where Odysseus rests and experiments.

Of course, this kind of experiment that can be "open to the public" does not involve the secrets of Odysseus.

Max pushed open the door and the first thing he smelled was the scent of herbs in the room. Odysseus was wearing a mask and a hat, busy in front of a table full of glasses and measuring cylinders.

After seeing Max come in, Odysseus stopped what he was doing and said, "My friend, you look very tired. It's a good opportunity to try the potion I'm preparing."

He paused and said, "Sit over there for a while, it will be ready soon."

Max was indeed a little tired. He sat in the chair and watched Odysseus mix the weighed powder and the potion that had been boiled in the measuring cylinder, finally forming a blue potion.

Odysseus poured the potion from the measuring cylinder into a cup and handed it to Max: "This is a formula I traded with a wild Beyonder who was suspected to be a 'pharmacist' some time ago. It can effectively relieve fatigue.

"Of course, I don't have the abilities of a pharmacist. I can only use my spiritual power to give the potion a limited effect."

It was Max who led the team to deal with the extraordinary events that Odysseus encountered when he traveled through time. Later, the two gradually became old friends who could talk about anything.

The captain of the "Mechanical Heart" had great trust in Odysseus. After taking a quick look at the potion, he drank it all in one gulp.

The potion tasted sour, but after drinking it, the fatigue he felt was indeed relieved. He handed the cup back to Odysseus and said, "So you can not only mix potions that can enhance male sexual performance."

Odysseus took the cup and smiled, "That's market demand."

He put down the cup, extinguished the alcohol lamp and asked, "Why do you have time to come here today?"

"I have an urgent mission."

Odysseus was slightly stunned, but he had already guessed: "You say."

"Please help me find out if any of the noble children on this list have behaved abnormally recently." Max took out the list of noble children who had attended the exhibition alone last night.

This is a privilege of the nobility. Last night, after all the tourists had left, the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition" welcomed a group of noble children. The theft occurred that night, so they are a big suspect.

Max stretched his neck a bit and then said, "Also, keep an eye out for anyone trading or using magical items similar to the 'Apprentice' path recently, and quietly purchase items used by Emperor Roselle at a high price. If you receive a bookmark, contact me immediately!
"Be careful to hide yourself in the next two tasks."

In fact, not only he, but also the church did not have much hope for the next two tasks.

Odysseus thought to himself, "As expected! That magical item similar to the 'apprentice' path points to me. Ha, if I were to investigate my own guilt, I'd never find any clues in my lifetime."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." Odysseus agreed immediately.

Max stretched, then stood up suddenly and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Odysseus saw her off to the door, he immediately returned to his desk, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with wax.

Arriving at the herbalist's shop, Odysseus handed the letter to Kena: "To Ms. Mandy."

Kena took the letter and handed over a newspaper: "This is the special edition that just arrived. You might be interested."

Odysseus took a look and said, "Oh? The serial killer has been shot dead!"
