Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 93 Some people always seek death
Odysseus had often been able to find clues about the activities of the "Rose School"'s Temperance Faction in Backlund from some intelligence.

Sharon and Maric were probably sent to Backlund several years ago to handle all matters related to the Temperance Faction in Backlund. They were also using this metropolis to avoid being hunted by the Indulgence Faction.

But before this, Odysseus had no need for the Temperance Party, so there was no contact between them.

On the return carriage, Odysseus thought of three ways to contact them.

The first way is to try your luck at the Brave Bar, but Sharon had just fought with the Indulgence Faction, and she and Maric would have to hide for a while, so the chances of contacting them were slim.

The second channel is to contact Sharon through Klein, but whether using the identity of Mr. Gar or Odysseus, they are not very familiar with Klein.

If someone suddenly approached him to contact the temperance faction of the Rose School, there was a high probability that Klein would simply say: I don't know such a person.

The third channel is the "mysterious queen" Bernadette.

Odysseus saw the phrase "I'm coming" appear on the table in front of him and said, "I thought you had an 'invisible servant' watching me all the time."

The voice of the Mysterious Queen echoed through the air around them: "There are many people who need to be watched by the Invisible Servant. You are just one of them."

Her voice was a little unreal, as if the signal was not very good: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Odysseus looked forward...actually, he didn't know where to look, so he just looked forward and said, "I hope you can help me contact the Temperance Faction of the 'Rose School'."

The air around them was quiet for a second or two before Bernadette said, "I don't have any channels for this."

"You do, but you may not know it." Odysseus smiled and said, "Do you remember the night when the Mandated Punisher's informant was killed?"

"remember."

"You said you had just attended a Beyonder gathering." Odysseus said half-truthfully, "According to some intelligence I received earlier, there is indeed a Beyonder gathering in that area, but it's at a very high level, and not every Beyonder can join.

"And I learned from another intelligence that a 'wraith' once appeared at that party. She is an important member of the Temperance Faction."

It was indeed learned from "a piece of information obtained previously", and that information was called "the original work".

Odysseus clearly remembered that Bernadette and Sharon had met many times at a gathering of extraordinary people.

In addition, Odysseus did receive some intelligence and knew that there were two high-level extraordinary gatherings in Backlund, one of which was the gathering attended by Sharon, Bernadette and others.

There are not many parties that can interest Bernadette, so Odysseus boldly guessed that Bernadette went to attend the party where she was socializing with Sharon that day.

The air around them fell silent again for a second or two before Bernadette suddenly said, "Compared to your outstanding intelligence gathering and analysis abilities, my intelligence officers are all idiots."

Odysseus thought to himself: This "praise" sounds a bit like Russell's tone.

After a while, Bernadette said again: "There happens to be a party tonight. I can help you contact her."

Then she asked, "What do you want with her?"

"It's like this..." Odysseus did not hide anything and gave a brief account of today's case.

This is not something that needs to be kept secret, and although they are all secret organizations, slightly more normal secret organizations, such as "Elemental Dawn" and "Psychological Alchemy Society", will also draw a clear line with the lunatics of the "Rose School" and may even not mind striking them down.

Bernadette is the leader of the "Dawn of the Elements". Her style of doing things is quite different from that of the "School of the Rose", and she probably doesn't have a good impression of the "School of the Rose".

And since you are asking for help, it would be boring if you are secretive.

Based on these thoughts, Odysseus told Bernadette the truth.

Finally, Odysseus said, "I would like to ask the 'Wrathful Spirit', the second person who came to buy 'Sunflower' and told the address of the 'Werewolf' to my buyer, was she sent?
"Is the purpose to let us find the trace of the 'werewolf'?"

"Yes," Bernadette said. "The reward is to help me find out about the legendary thief 'Black Emperor'."

Odysseus was stunned for a moment before saying, "This mission is quite difficult. I was there at the time, and to be honest, I still don't understand how that guy left the scene. I don't even know which direction to look."

"Just help me keep an eye out for intelligence in this area. If you get any news, I will pay you. It doesn't matter if you don't get any news." For Bernadette, it was just a message, and the corresponding reward didn't need to be high.

Odysseus nodded: "Okay."

Bernadette said that this makes it easy.

After that, the "Mysterious Queen" left, and Odysseus pondered the case again, but still did not get any clues, so he simply continued to write "Comprehensive Guide to Fighting".

……

Daqiao South District, Passion Bar.

There is no fighting match tonight. Simon, the bar owner with yellow teeth, is smoking and preparing to finish the glass of wine in front of him and leave to find a casino to gamble.

Just when there was only a sip of wine left in the glass, three people pushed the door open.

Simon took one look at them and immediately realized they weren't there for drinks. First, they were dressed too brightly, not like people who came to a small bar like this. Second, they looked around as if they were looking for someone.

Simon immediately realized that they might be looking for him, so he turned his head away.

But it was too late, one of them had already seen Simon and pointed in this direction.

The three of them came over quickly and surrounded Simon.

Simon's subordinates immediately stood up and confronted the three men.

The leader of the other party was a man in his thirties with brown hair. He ignored Simon's subordinates and asked Simon directly: "I only have one question for you, and I will leave after that.

"Where does Lelouch live?"

Simon was a little nervous, but he pretended to be calm and smiled, revealing his yellow teeth: "Who are you talking about? I haven't heard of it.

"If you buy me a drink, maybe I'll remember it."

The leader recalled the bar's rules and said to the bartender, "Give me a drink."

Following Simon's gaze, the bartender mixed a glass of the tavern's most expensive drink and pushed it in front of the brown-haired man: "One pound."

The brown-haired man's subordinate was about to question the bartender, but was stopped by him. He took out a pound from his wallet and put it in front of Simon: "Go ahead."

Simon put the bill away and smiled, "I'm Lelouch's agent, but I don't know where he lives!"

The brown-haired man didn't waste any time and knocked Simon to the ground with a slap, while his men punched the bartender in the face.

Hula~
The bartender bumped into the wine cabinet behind him, and many bottles fell to the ground and broke.

Simon's men immediately rushed to rescue their boss, but were easily dealt with by the two men under the brown-haired man.

At first, the drinkers were clamoring to help Simon, but when they saw how good the opponent was at fighting, they all ran away in panic, and some even took away chairs and wine glasses.

The brown-haired man grabbed Simon by the collar and lifted the bar owner up: "Your teeth are too ugly. Let me pull them out for you. Maybe new teeth will grow in a few days."

"I'll tell you!" Simon said quickly, "I heard him tell the cab driver his address: 176 Riverbend Avenue!"

The brown-haired man tore open Simon's clothes and took out his wallet. Not only did he take back his 1 pound, he also took away the other pounds in cash in the wallet.

Then he threw Simon to the ground, winked at one of his subordinates, asking him to keep an eye on Simon, and he took another subordinate to the address Simon had just reported.

Simon, sitting on the ground, covered his cheeks and thought to himself: My back teeth are loose, is this a realistic performance?
……

Gall's Herbal Shop, 51 Henry Street.

In the evening, Max sent someone to deliver 200 pounds in cash, which was the intelligence fee for this case.

At present, the "Mechanical Heart" has killed a "werewolf". In the absence of obvious clues, the case has come to a temporary end, so he applied for intelligence fees for Odysseus.

Regarding Odysseus's intelligence fee, Deacon Ikanser once gave special approval: pay it on the same day.

After all, Odysseus was their ace intelligence officer, helping the "Mechanical Heart" solve numerous major cases. Whenever Ikanser met with the captains or deacons of the "Nighthawks" and "Manufactured Punishers" in Backlund, he felt like he could lift his chin even higher.

After getting the money, Odysseus thought about it and realized that Max had promised him 160 pounds, but now he gave him 200.

But then he understood: "I shot four arrows at that time, and each arrow cost 10 pounds?"

After collecting the money with a smile, Odysseus continued to sell herbs and left the herbal medicine shop around ten o'clock in the evening.

Today he still planned to go to No. 176 Hewan Avenue to rest. His opponents from the Extraordinary Fighting Arena did not show up yesterday, so they should be here today.

Odysseus got off the carriage at a street adjacent to Riverbend Avenue. He walked into a small hotel, spent 1 soli, asked for a relatively clean room, and then took out the mask and costume of "Lelouch" from the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and put them on.

He opened the window and looked around. Seeing that there was no one on the foggy street, Odysseus jumped out of the window and quickly walked to River Bend Avenue.

When he was still some distance away from No. 176, Odysseus's spirit felt someone was watching him, and he sighed in his heart: In this world, there are always people who like to seek death.

He seemed unaware of the gazes, quickly opened the door and went into the house, making final preparations to welcome the guests who would be arriving tonight.

No. 176 Hewan Avenue was actually the room that Odysseus prepared for the "leader" to establish his authority. He had originally planned to kill a group of people who were trying to find out the whereabouts of the "leader" here in order to make a name for himself.

However, after renting the place for about two years, no one had found any trace of the "leader", so these arrangements had never been used.

But today, the magic circle here can come in handy.
