Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 96 Audrey gets news about Lelouch again

Odysseus has a total of three such "defensive strongholds", one is No. 176 Hewan Avenue, which Odysseus just abandoned, one is Gar Herbal Medicine Store, and the last one is No. 77 Hailin Avenue, which is currently the most populated.

In addition, some extraordinary traps were set up in the basement of Hilton Boulevard, the third-floor room of the "Nanmu Ballroom", and the laboratory in the suburbs, but their power and scale were far inferior to those of the three "defensive strongholds".

No. 176 Hewan Avenue was where he first used the "composite" magic circle, and he also conducted many experiments here.

However, due to lack of experience at the time, the concealment was very poor. Any extraordinary person with a certain amount of knowledge of mysticism would understand that these traps were arranged based on magic arrays after going up to the second floor.

Because of the experience here, when Odysseus designed the "composite" magic circle for Gar Herbal Shop and No. 77 Hailin Avenue, in addition to being much more powerful, it was also very concealed.

When Odysseus dealt with the "combat scholar" and the "secret peeper" who broke into Gar's herbal medicine shop, he planned to activate the magic circle of the herbal medicine shop after he had used up the bullets in the "Flame Arrow".

But at this moment, he saw Arya, the subordinate of the "Mysterious Queen", so he wanted to use the "Fool" to intimidate the "Mysterious Queen", so he ran to the backyard.

But Alia was very cautious. After hearing Odysseus reciting the name of a certain being, she chose to continue watching. Otherwise, Odysseus would not have been so embarrassed.

As for the concealment of these "composite" magic arrays, Odysseus once tested it by inviting Bernadette to his home.

As long as it is not in an excited state, even demigods will find it difficult to detect it.

The reason for giving up No. 176 Hewan Avenue is that it is an old stock with limited power, and it is not cost-effective to continue maintaining it.

Odysseus looked back at his original masterpiece. The fire at No. 176 was getting bigger and bigger, but it did not affect the neighbors.

In the firelight, someone finally shouted "Fire!"

Odysseus turned around and walked quickly away in the thick fog, returning to the hotel where he had booked a room.

Only then did he take out the spoils and take a look at them: a pair of boxing gloves and three extraordinary characteristics.

The gloves correspond to the level of Sequence 8. Their abilities and negative effects are unknown. Odysseus currently has no use for them, so he placed them in the "Wild Knowledge".

Of the three Beyonder properties, one is known to be a Sequence 7 "Briber" property, while the other two are only known to be at Sequence 9 level, and the specific corresponding sequences are unknown.

After collecting the spoils, Odysseus thought to himself: With these spoils, No. 176 Riverbend Avenue has made its money back.

At this moment, a short sentence suddenly appeared on the wall in front of Odysseus: I'm here.

Odysseus was slightly taken aback: "The party ends so late?"

"I just watched a performance." Bernadette's voice echoed through the air, commenting, "With the help of the magic circle, you've already reached Sequence 7 strength.

"But those magic arrays can only be fixed in place and cannot be taken away at any time. Therefore, you can only achieve the strength of Sequence 7 in specific places."

Odysseus nodded: "That's a very fair assessment."

Then he asked, "Have you contacted that 'Wrathful Spirit'?"

"I asked for you," said Bernadette, who didn't know where the real person was. "She said that she and her companions haven't taken any action against the Indulgence faction recently."

"That's strange." Odysseus couldn't help but frowned: "Who could be reminding me? What's his purpose?"

……

Daqiao South District, Passion Bar.

There was no business here today. There was only the bar owner Simon, a bartender, and a member of the 3N Party watching them.

bang~
The wooden door was suddenly thrown open, and all three people looked towards the door.

Gran, a man with brown hair, appeared there. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked in very bad condition.

The 3N Party member had a bad feeling: "What's going on?"

Gran ignored his companion's questions and grabbed Simon by the collar, saying, "What kind of monster is Lelouch? What kind of monster is he?"

Simon recalled Lelouch's previous advice, that when the other party came to him for the second time, he should not be polite to them.

So he said coldly: "I don't know what kind of monster he is. I only know that if you keep grabbing my collar like this, you will die miserably."

Gran shuddered all over and immediately let go of Simon. Then he took a few steps back in a daze and sat on the chair at the back.

The 3N Party member asked again: "What's wrong?"

"We...we fell into Lelouch's trap. Ford and Fitzger are both dead." Gran said.

"What about the Celtic leader?"

"He's dead too." Glen then corrected himself: "He must be dead too. He was trapped in there."

After being surprised, the 3N Party members immediately said, "Quick, go back and ask for help!"

Gran was dragged away like a zombie.

Simon, who was adjusting his collar, heard their conversation clearly: "A leader is dead..."

He had just found out yesterday that the organization that had been causing them trouble was called the 3N Party. It was said that the organization had three leaders, each of whom possessed magical abilities. "Give me a drink," Simon said to the bartender.

He wanted to congratulate himself for having a new backer, because it was said that whoever could kill the leader of the 3N Party would become the new leader of the organization.

……

Thursday morning, Queen's Road, at Earl Donat's villa.

Today, Donat's eldest son Joels held a mysticism salon in the villa and invited many noble children who are interested in mysticism to participate.

Among them is Audrey Hall. Today, Audrey shared with several friends three methods of preparing daisy and the effects of this herb.

The noble children around were amazed and praised Audrey for her professionalism in handling this herb. She also explained it in such detail that anyone could understand.

Audrey accepted the compliments with a smile and said in her heart: This is thanks to the material provided by the "Hermit".

At the same time, she did not forget to praise her friends, which made everyone very happy and heated up the discussion atmosphere of the entire salon.

After the topic came to an end, Audrey smiled and said, "Unfortunately, we have come into contact with too few occult events. Each salon can only discuss this kind of occult knowledge."

At this time, a young noble man said, "I have a mystical incident that happened in Backlund to share with everyone!"

The speaker was Quincy, son of Earl Philip.

Audrey kept smiling at the other person, and everyone looked at Quincy.

In fact, Audrey had noticed long ago that Quincy had a somewhat contemptuous demeanor today and did not listen carefully to what others said.

Moreover, he wanted to speak several times, but he held back. It was obvious that he had learned some news about mysticism and wanted to throw it out when the salon was at its most exciting moment.

So Audrey helped to create a good atmosphere, and then brought out her "regret" at the right time, and Quincy immediately "took the bait".

Quincy said, "This morning at 176 Riverbend Avenue, a case involving the occult occurred."

Joels, the initiator of this salon, was stunned for a moment before he said, "I saw it in today's morning paper. The newspaper said it was a gang fight that caused the fire."

Several noble sons nodded in agreement; they had all read the report.

"At first the police thought it was a fire," Quincy continued, "but when they were cleaning up the scene, they found three bodies!
“Because there were few people living in that house, it was believed to be a gang fight.

“But before I came to the salon, I accidentally learned the results of the autopsies on the three bodies.

"Of the three people who died, one was stabbed to death by a sharp weapon, one died after having his blood sucked dry, and one had a wound on his neck but died of freezing!"

The other noble children expressed their surprise: "Frozen to death? Frozen to death at the fire scene?"

"Oh, goddess, was your blood sucked out?"

"..."

No one questioned the autopsy results provided by Quincy because Quincy's father, Earl Philip, was the Minister of Public Security.

Quincy said, "This must be a case involving the occult!"

"I happened to learn some inside information about this case by accident." The speaker was a young nobleman named Theodore, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

The noble children who came to the salon immediately said, "Tell me quickly."

"what is going on?"

Quincy saw that everyone's attention was immediately focused on Theodore as soon as he finished speaking, and he was a little unhappy: "How do you know about the case that just happened last night?"

"Everyone knows that I like to go to 155 King's Road to watch fighting matches." Theodore smiled. "Of course, this is also related to my cousin being the manager of the fighting arena."

Audrey frowned slightly when she heard this. Most of the people present knew about the so-called fighting competition taking place there.

But Audrey only saw indifference and took it for granted, but no one even expressed doubt about the existence of the fighting arena through their eyes.

At this time, Theodore continued, “This morning, I went to my cousin’s place to get the tickets for this week, and I found out that there were fighters in the fighting arena yesterday because of a fight that took place outside the arena on Riverbend Avenue as a result of a match last week.

“It is said that three people died in that battle, one of whom was a veteran fighter in the fighting arena.

"And their opponent is a rookie contestant named Lelouch!"

Audrey suddenly lost her ability to remain a spectator: "Lelouch?"

"Yes, that's the name." Theodore thought about it and said with certainty.

Then he continued, "Everyone should understand, right? It was still on Hewan Avenue, and three people died."

Joels said, "So, this Lelouch player is very likely a Beyonder?"

Audrey was thinking: Based on my previous observation, Lelouch is not a vicious person. Why did he suddenly kill three people at once?
