Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 73 Klein Receives a New Commission

The old man dressed as a butler was somewhat surprised by Detective Moriarty's refusal: "The reward for this commission will be very generous."

Klein smiled. "Unless I know your true purpose and who your employer is?"

If he had not met Mr. Gal before, he might have really believed what the old man said, but he had been to the "Nanmu Ballroom" and met Mr. Gal.

Klein had his own judgment on what Mr. Gar was doing, so he wouldn't easily believe the old man's words.

"Alright, alright." The old man took a deep breath and said, "If a friend hadn't strongly recommended you to me, I wouldn't be telling you this."

He said seriously, "My employer is Lord Asibourne. He is disgusted by Gar's cruelty to the women of Backlund and hopes to rescue them.

"As for your reward, if you can find any one of the three points mentioned above, you will receive 50 pounds. If you can find all the information we need, I will pay you 180 pounds!"

For an investigation commission, such a reward is indeed very generous, but it also indirectly shows that this commission must be very difficult.

As for the employer's purpose, Klein wasn't completely convinced. He stood up and said, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

He was more inclined to accept this commission because he was also very interested in Mr. Gall, but he had to divine whether there would be any danger after accepting this commission. After all, Mr. Gall was also an extraordinary person.

Entering the bathroom, Klein took out the citrine pendant and muttered to himself, "Accepting this commission is very dangerous.

“It is dangerous to accept this commission.

"..."

After silently reciting it seven times, Klein saw the crystal pendant slowly rotating clockwise.

That is to say, there is a little risk, but it is acceptable.

wow~
He opened the toilet valve to create the illusion of flushing the toilet, then returned to the living room and said to the old man, "I accept this commission."

There's nothing important going on lately, so Klein plans to investigate Mr. Gall and what Lord Asibourne's plans are.

……

Saturday afternoon, at Gal's Herbal Medicine Store.

Simon paid another visit and reported to Odysseus the news he had obtained: "I invited several waiters from the underground fighting arena to dinner and finally found a way to get information about other players.

"He was a footman responsible for cleaning the referee's room and the lounge. While working, he had the opportunity to witness many matches and get to know many of the players."

The wicked-looking underground boxing ring owner laughed and said, "I've established a long-term cooperative relationship with him. I pay him 5 pounds each time and I can get information about my opponent. If he hasn't met his opponent, he can ask others for information."

Odysseus nodded slowly. "Very good. I'll pay the five pounds. No need to deduct it from your share."

"Yes, yes, I knew you wouldn't be stingy with such a small amount of money." Simon smiled.

Now that Odysseus has become his god of wealth, allowing him to earn an extra twenty or thirty pounds every week, of course he has to humble himself.

Simon continued, "This competition is different from the last one. It seems that since we know you have a special weapon, we are temporarily not planning to let you participate in a competition where you can use weapons. Instead, we will have an unregulated fighting competition.

"No weapons may be used during the fight. It will be a purely unregulated fight. The rules are the same as those of most underground fighting rings in Backlund. The match ends as soon as someone is knocked unconscious or concedes defeat."

"Your opponent is called Eden. He is said to have very magical abilities. He can make a person very unlucky and fall easily. He can also create flashes of light, fog, and so on.

"The most amazing thing is that he can easily push open the wall and hide in the house."

Odysseus immediately understood that this person must be a "Master of Magic". Among low-sequence Beyonders, "Masters of Magic" are considered to have relatively rich abilities. Their "Falling Technique" is particularly useful in free combat.

But in Odysseus's opinion, this sequence also has major shortcomings, such as "thin blood" and "low defense".

"I see." Odysseus nodded and reached for his pipe, but quickly put it down because the fire in Capin's villa the day before yesterday made his throat uncomfortable.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably cough for a while, but as a Sequence 8, Odysseus just felt uncomfortable in his throat.

Simon added, "Also, tomorrow's game will be in the afternoon. Please prepare in advance. I'll pick you up at two o'clock."

Odysseus was thinking about how to deal with the "Master of Magic" and just said "hmm" casually.

"I also received a piece of news that I don't know whether it's true or not."

Odysseus looked at Simon and said, "Tell me about it."

"It is said that your opponent, Eden, belongs to a fighting organization. This organization is basically composed of outstanding fighters in the underground fighting arena. Anyone who defeats them will be retaliated by them."

Odysseus smiled slightly and asked, "What is the attitude of the nobles' fighting arena towards them?"

Simon smiled, revealing his yellow teeth: "The fighting arena only needs exciting matches."

His implication was that those in the underground fighting scene chose to ignore the organization because it provided exciting matches.

Odysseus nodded. He knew this organization. In addition to honing his fighting skills, another important reason why Odysseus took the initiative to participate in the extraordinary fighting competition was to go for this organization.

It sounds like they are just "fake fighting", but they also did many shameful things for the nobles.

When Odysseus was at Sequence 9, he had exposed their evil deeds to the Mechanical Heart many times, but the Mechanical Heart was forced to fail to arrest them or even launch a proper investigation due to pressure from the nobles.

Of course, Odysseus did not have a complete plan at the beginning. It was only in the last two days that he thought of taking advantage of some of the characteristics of this organization and trying to kill several members of this organization.

After Simon left, Odysseus prepared to wear a knight's uniform with a "defensive magic circle" in tomorrow's game. As long as he could withstand the opponent's "tricks", he would be able to defeat the opponent easily when he got close to the opponent.

After having a basic strategy to fight the enemy, Odysseus continued to go to the backyard to write the "Outline of Fighting".

……

Klein's investigation of Mr. Gall begins at the Nanmu Ballroom.

That night, under the cover of darkness, he ambushed in the back street of the dance hall, hid in a corner and waited for more than half an hour, finally waiting for some waiters to get off work.

Klein quietly followed one of them, knocked him unconscious, and led him to a dark alley where he would not be disturbed.

He first used spiritual materials such as "Amanda" pure water and essential oil extracted from deep sleeping flowers to put the other party's spirit into a very relaxed state, and then built a "spiritual wall" to conduct spiritual communication.

Because Klein didn't know whether the person in front of him was good or evil, he used the psychic method he learned from Ms. Daly, which was less harmful to others.

Otherwise, if you force spiritual communication, it will definitely cause irreversible damage to the other person's "mental body".

Soon, the waiter who had fainted suddenly sat up, opened his eyes, and looked ahead with a dazed look.

Klein also used "meditation" to put himself in a chaotic state of half-asleep and half-wakefulness, and controlled his spirit body to enter the spirit world and invade the opponent's "mental body".

At this moment, countless memories flooded back to Klein.
