Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 79: Teaching Little Sun
Odysseus, the Hermit, replied, "Yes, I have five pages of my diary there."

He had fully squeezed out the value of the five pages of the diary. First of all, after reading it himself, he had a good idea of how to play the role of "Fighting Scholar".

Secondly, he delivered the task to the "Mechanical Heart" and falsely reported the expenses.

Now offering it to the "Fool" is a complete waste of resources.

Odysseus said to the head of the bronze table, "Mr. Fool, I am willing to offer you the five pages of the diary as a token of my gratitude for your previous help.

"I know it's insignificant compared to the help you've provided, but at least it represents my appreciation."

Klein, the Fool, thought to himself, "This guy is quite shrewd."

He nodded slowly and said, "Okay."

Justice Audrey noticed that Mr. Fool had provided help to the Hermit before, but she didn't know what kind of help it was.

Magician Fors thought about Mr. Fool's help to her: Could the Hermit also have some kind of curse?
"I can materialize those five pages of the diary right now," Odysseus said again.

The other members were stunned again. After all, those were unfamiliar characters and difficult to remember.

The "Hermit" had obviously just learned that the Russell Notes were Russell's diary, so it was impossible for him to have tried hard to memorize it before attending the meeting.

So that means that "Hermit" was remembered from before.

But soon, everyone guessed that this was most likely the help provided by the extraordinary ability of the "hermit", so they all put away their slight surprise.

Klein nodded slightly and materialized paper and pen for Odysseus, allowing him to "express" his thoughts.

After another ten minutes of reading, Klein the Fool said calmly, "You may begin."

Alger, the Hanged Man, immediately turned around and asked Derrick, the Sun, "What information did you get from the former captain of the exploration team?"

Derrick answered honestly, "He's dead."

died?

Audrey and Fors expressed their surprise at the same time.

Derrick continued, "After the last party ended and I returned to Silver City..."

He briefly recounted what had happened to him after the meeting last Monday.

Alger asked again, "Your dungeons in Silver City for the out-of-control ones aren't sealed? Are there no barriers between them?"

"Yes," Derrick said, "but I don't know why he came to my room? He's completely out of control and turned into a terrifying monster."

Fors realized another question: "Then how did you survive?"

This is also what Audrey is concerned about.

Alger's reaction was completely different from theirs: "It's illogical to put you, who is only showing signs of losing control, next to such a dangerous guy.

"It seems that the higher-ups in Silver City are deliberately trying to get someone in contact with that guy to see if they can extract any useful information from him and observe any corresponding changes.

"So, which elder saved you?"

Derrick sincerely admired him and said, "Yes, just as you said, the 'Chief' showed up in time and used magical items to deal with the out-of-control monster."

Alger chuckled. "This is obvious. Anyone with sufficient knowledge can easily deduce it."

Audrey thought to herself with a slightly depressed look: I never thought of that.

Alger then asked, "The former captain of the exploration team hadn't lost control for decades, but suddenly lost control after you returned?"

Derrick said seriously, "I've guessed two reasons. One is because I chose the 'Sun Path.' At the last gathering, Mr. Hermit said that the Amon family is descended from the ancient sun god.

"Another guess was that he sensed Mr. Fool was trying to get me to the party. It ultimately turned out to be the latter."

Alger pressed, "How did you prove it?"

Derrick described it truthfully: "After Amon's clone was dealt with, I returned home and began praying to Mr. Fool..."

"Wait a minute," Alger interrupted Sun's narration. "You said you just experienced such a bizarre incident, and then your 'chief' let you go home? And as soon as you got home, you started praying to Mr. Fool?"

"Yes." Derrick answered blankly, not realizing what the problem was.

Alger looked at Mr. Fool and was relieved when he saw that he didn't express anything. "Based on my experience, the Chief must have secretly sent people to monitor you, and you have undoubtedly exposed your problems.

"Don't doubt it. If even the Chief wasn't cautious, your Silver City wouldn't have survived to this day in such a dangerous environment."

Derrick's eyes gradually widened: This...

Alger's demeanor relaxed slightly. "But you're not in any danger for now. I guess the Chief just noticed something was wrong with you. He might just suspect you're being possessed by Amon, and he doesn't know about the Tarot Club." Derrick calmed down a bit and said honestly, "I was indeed possessed by Amon at that time."

"What?" Alger nearly jumped out of his seat and assumed a fighting stance.

Audrey and Fors's spirits suddenly became tense, and only The World and the Hermit Odysseus showed some surprise.

Derrick quickly added, "Mr. Fool saw through Amon's plot and taught me a ritual. Through that ritual, He sent angels to purify Amon's clone, and I coughed up a strange little bug."

"Angel?" Alger asked in astonishment.

Audrey was also a little surprised: "The Sun" said that Mr. Fool sent an angel?
Fors recalled that Mr. Fool had sent angels to help her before, hiding it from the Abraham family's inquiries.

Odysseus showed no surprise, because The Fool had already sent his Angel to help him once, and he showed an expression that said, "I didn't expect you to be so surprised."

Klein observed everyone's reactions from behind the gray fog, and finally he discovered that the "hermit" who was experienced and seemed to have a lot of knowledge in mysticism was the one who most firmly believed that I was a member of the gods.

That's right, Klein thought: the more you know, the easier it is to make enough associations, and the easier it is to believe the conclusions drawn from these associations.

While everyone was still in shock, Odysseus suddenly asked Little Sun, "After your Chief dealt with Amon's clone, he must have asked you some questions, right?"

Derrick thought about it and said, "Yes."

Odysseus asked again: "What did your 'chief' ask at that time? How did you answer? Think carefully about it."

Derrick thought for a moment before saying, "It's probably like this: The 'Chief' first explained why he placed me next to the former captain of the exploration team.

"Then the 'chief' asked me, 'Why do you think the captain suddenly changed? What makes you feel different from the others?'
“I replied: Perhaps it’s because my extraordinary path is different from others.

"The 'chief' asked me again: What were you doing in the room just now?
I replied: I'm sleeping.

"Finally, the Chief asked: Before he mutated, did you notice anything unusual?

“I said: No.”

Everyone recovered from the shock of the "Angel". Except for Alger, the other members didn't understand why the "Hermit" asked this.
Odysseus sighed and said, "When you answered the first question, you already aroused the suspicion of your 'chief'."

"Huh?" Derrick had no idea what this meant.

"Let me ask you, at our last gathering, you said that everyone in Silver City must receive general education," Odysseus analyzed. "Does your general education include any knowledge related to Amon and the 'Sun' Path?"

Derrick seemed to understand something: "No, no."

Audrey also understood: "Little Sun" answered that way because he knew that Amon was a descendant of the ancient sun god, but he ignored the fact that most people in Silver City had no channels to obtain such information.

Fors also understood that the "Hermit" was helping "Little Sun" review the situation.

Odysseus continued, "Your 'chief's' question is actually asking: Have you done anything special to irritate the other party?

"So you should have said, 'I feel no different than anyone else, and I don't know how he got to my room.

"This is to tell you, 'Chief,' I didn't do anything special; they approached me first.

"This is crucial. We must let the 'Chief' know that it was the other party who launched the attack first, and you didn't mention this in your subsequent answers."

Alger nodded, thinking that "Hermit" was a good answer.

Derrick was a little stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many issues that needed attention in such a simple question and answer.

Then he felt that the "hermit's" analysis made sense and that he had indeed not explained things clearly.

Odysseus continued, “Your ‘chief’ noticed that you didn’t understand his question, so he simply asked you: What were you doing in the room just now?
"Even if you say you're peeing, it's better than saying 'sleeping'!

“You should say that your spirit sensed the danger, so you are observing carefully.

"You said 'I was sleeping'. First of all, this makes you appear unfit as a warrior. Secondly, the danger was already approaching, but you were unaware of it. This is clearly a lie."

Alger nodded again, feeling that the Hermit's answer resonated with him.

Audrey felt as if she had learned something strange again. After thinking about it for a while, she realized that this strange thing was: telling lies so realistically.

Klein, who was hiding behind the gray fog, smiled and thought to himself: Why does it feel like a "hermit" is tutoring "Little Sun" with his homework?

Derrick nodded at first, but then said with some embarrassment: "But...but..."

"But this answer is not honest enough, right?" Odysseus asked with a smile.

Derrick nodded again and again.

"I must admit that honesty is a virtue," Odysseus said, "but in many cases, being honest without a bottom line and without considering the feelings of others, the circumstances, and the consequences is a sign of immaturity."
