Chapter 25: 25
At nightfall, West District, 75 Hailin Avenue.
Sitting in the living room of Odysseus's residence, Bernadette still couldn't believe that she had accepted Odysseus' invitation to taste the meat of the mutant flamingo.
She had forgotten the last time she was so spontaneous as today.
Maybe it was because the discussion in the afternoon was very profound, so she was interested in Odysseus' invitation, Bernadette thought.
Since she was here, she didn't think much about it. She stood up and looked at the several artworks in the living room, and found that they were all high-quality imitations.
Bernadette smiled knowingly. This was quite similar to what she knew about Odysseus. According to recent observations using the "Invisible Servant", all of Odysseus's income was basically used in the study of mysticism.
With his income, it was enough to buy a carriage, but he was still riding a public carriage!
On the shelf next to the wall, there were many exquisite handicrafts, which should be the most valuable things in this room.
Bernadette saw models of steel battleships, models of people wearing strange armor and industrial beauty, and models of trains and flying castles.
On the top row of the shelf were two photos.
One was a personal photo of Odysseus. He was wearing a top hat and a suit, looking to the left, as if he saw his future, or as if he was looking into the distance.
The photo on the right was a photo of Odysseus standing in front of the herbal medicine store.
At this time, Odysseus in the restaurant shouted, "Dinner is ready."
"Okay." Bernadette came to the restaurant, and the table was already full of food.
There was roasted meat, broth, fried meat, and stir-fried meat with chili peppers, but all of this meat was the meat of mutant flamingos.
Because a total of 45 mutant flamingo leg bones were needed to carve the magic circle on the "Flame Arrow", 23 mutant flamingos were killed.
This spiritual creature, with its thin and long legs, liver and blood, and seven long feathers on its tail, is a spiritual material with fire attributes.
But the rest were just ingredients with richer spirituality.
Odysseus certainly would not waste such good things. In addition to leaving 2 for old man Anlil, he gave the remaining 2 to his servant Kena, kept 5 for himself, and sent 5 to Max.
The remaining 9 were sent to the "Nanmu Ballroom" to be used as gifts for socialites to visit the nobles.
Those nobles knew what was good, and of course they knew it was a good thing.
Odysseus brought back five, and used four of them to cook dinner tonight.
In addition, he mixed a vegetable salad, cut a fruit platter, bought some desserts and bread, and bought a bottle of red wine.
So, there was this sumptuous dinner.
Bernadette looked at the dishes: "It looks good."
At least it smelled good, so she cut a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. The meat was a bit dry, but the taste was very delicious.
Odysseus also picked up the knife and fork: "I have always been curious, do high-level Beyonders like you eat like ordinary people?"
"Not necessarily every meal." Bernadette replied: "Most of the time, eating is more like a psychological comfort."
She said: "You seem to like taking pictures?" The domain name of this site has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
Even in Backlund, taking pictures is a relatively luxurious consumption.
Odysseus smiled and said: "The camera is fun."
In fact, he mainly wanted to experience what it feels like to take pictures in this era. At this time, there are already box cameras. Although they look bulky, it is no problem to take a black and white photo that looks relatively delicate.
"When you continue to advance, you will find something more interesting." Bernadette smiled and put down the knife and snapped her fingers in the air.
Odysseus immediately saw that a picture book and a paintbrush appeared on one side of the dining table. These two things were suspended in the air. An invisible force controlled the paintbrush and quickly wrote and painted on the drawing paper.
After just over ten seconds, the brush stopped, and the drawing board turned to face Odysseus and Bernadette.
Odysseus saw that it was a realistic painting of the two people eating.
Although there was only one brush from beginning to end, the painting was actually in color, and it was very lifelike, almost like a color photo.
This made Odysseus sigh: "It's still very convenient to be extraordinary."
Hearing Odysseus's surprised sigh, Bernadette smiled and snapped her fingers again, and an invisible hand took down the painting and handed it to Odysseus.
"Thank you." Odysseus took the painting: "I will buy a frame to collect it."
Bernadette didn't care much and said: "It's just a painting."
Then they ate and talked, and Bernadette asked again: "I have always wondered why you spend so much effort to build your own intelligence network?"
The Mystic Research Society has built an intelligence network for the Backlund Extraordinary World. Although there is no intelligence about the big figures in the Extraordinary World, Odysseus can know any movement in the Extraordinary World at the first time.
The Nanmu Ballroom is an intelligence network among the nobles of Backlund. Odysseus is very familiar with the secrets of many nobles. When Odysseus needs it, he can use this intelligence to create huge benefits.
"The reason is very simple." Odysseus raised his glass and took a sip of wine before saying, "Intelligence is a very valuable but relatively safe 'commodity'.
"Let me give you an example. If you need some intelligence about Backlund, you will most likely buy it from me instead of arresting and torturing me."
Then he raised his glass: "If you meet a lunatic like the Aurora Society, they might kill you and then communicate with you to get information."
"That's why I cooperate with the Orthodox Church." Odysseus smiled and said, "The Aurora Society is a special case. No matter what I do, it's very dangerous to meet a lunatic from the Aurora Society."
Bernadette only then revealed her true purpose: "I understand that there are also members of the Aurora Society in the party you initiated."
"They are indeed very dangerous, but as long as you grasp their needs, you can also use them." Odysseus said, "Of course I know it's dangerous, so I have always prevented them from finding me."
As for divination and other searches, there is naturally the "Wild Knowledge" to help block them, so there is no need to worry about being found by these lunatics.
Odysseus smiled and said, "But, I can find them."
Bernadette nodded slowly, as long as there is no too deep connection with the Aurora Society.
After that, their topic became relaxed, basically discussing some dramas, operas, and interesting stories about Backlund.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, after eating and drinking a little tea in front of the fireplace, Bernadette said goodbye.
Odysseus had planned to send her to the door of her house, but Bernadette disappeared in front of the fireplace.
He stretched himself, but did not rest immediately, but began to prepare for tomorrow's occult research meeting.
Tomorrow, Hugh Dilcha will attend the meeting as a new member. The domain name of this website has been changed toSaturday morning, South Bridge District, No. 22 Tutva Street.
Hugh was ready at around six in the morning, waiting for the carriage to pick him up for the party.
The Backlund Post published the time of the party last night, and the party will be held at 9 o'clock today.
Fors appeared in the living room in pajamas, yawning: "Hugh, I'm here to see you off."
Hugh didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fors, have you forgotten? Under the influence of Emperor Roselle, 'seeing off' has other meanings."
Fors scratched his messy hair: "I only mean it literally, literally, well, besides, it's not very dangerous for you to go out this time."
Dongdongdong~
At this time, there was a knock on the door, but no one knocked on the door.
Hugh waved to Fors, opened the door, and saw a coachman dressed in black.
He didn't say anything, just made a gesture of "please get in the car."
Hugh jumped onto the carriage and saw a silver mask with three mystical symbols engraved on it, as well as a hooded cloak.
She put 5 soli in cash on the seat, then put on the mask and cloak.
After that, Hugh began to observe her surroundings carefully to grasp her real-time location.
At about eight o'clock, Hugh arrived at the gathering place. A
waiter had been waiting here for a long time. While inviting Hugh in, the waiter told Hugh: "Even if it is not the date of the gathering, if you need help, you can write a letter or come here in person to seek help.
"But the 'leader' only promised that he would help if he could.
"If you can't help, please think of other ways as soon as possible.
"In addition, if there is any information with a strong timeliness that you want to trade, you can also use this method to trade as soon as possible."
Hugh concealed his voice and said in a more vicissitudes of life tone: "Okay. "
This is another strange place. The initiator would actually make such a promise.
She chose a seat in a corner and sat down, waiting for the party to begin.
Soon, another participant came. He was wearing the same style of mask and cloak as Xio: "Oh? The new member has passed the assessment?"
Xio was slightly stunned. He didn't quite understand how the other party recognized him as a new member?
The other party seemed to see the doubts under Xio's mask. He smiled and said, "This party has fixed members and hasn't had new members for a long time... Well, okay, it's mainly because your height is a little special."
Xio was a little helpless. She even wore high heels today, but was she discovered?
Soon, other members arrived one after another. At about 8:40, Xio saw her recommender Byron. Although the other party was also wearing a mask, Xio knew it was him.
After more than ten minutes, the door of the basement opened. Just as Byron had described before, the "leader" came out of the basement and sat down slowly on a chair facing everyone.
At exactly nine o'clock, the "leader" announced: "The party begins.
"Very good, everyone is here this time."
Odysseus, wearing a mask, smiled and said, "First, let me introduce the new member.
"The investigation of the new member has been completed yesterday. As her recommender 'Lion' said, she has a stable channel in the East District. People with relevant needs can find new members.
"In addition, for the convenience of calling, new members should give themselves a nickname."
"Lion" Byron breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xio passed the investigation, the information he had previously interrogated by Xio would not be considered a leak, and he would not be punished. Xio
felt that everyone's eyes were looking at her. She thought for a while and stood up and said, "Owl."
Odysseus thought to himself: I thought you would choose Corgi. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
After everyone applauded politely, the party officially began.
"Hound" first said: "'Chief', I heard that a thief sneaked into the Roselle Memorial Exhibition. I hope to get relevant information."
Xio was slightly stunned: What? Thief sneaked in? Why didn't I hear about it?
She had been there with Fors a few days ago, and everything seemed normal.
The other members were also very interested, but they knew that such information would not be free, so they were just interested.
"50 pounds," Odysseus offered.
"No problem," "Hound" agreed.
Odysseus took the portable writing board handed over by the waiter, and while writing the information that could be used for trading, he said, "You continue."
The "Giraffe", whose neck was longer than that of an ordinary person, seemed to understand something: "So the 'leader' purchased the "relics" of Emperor Roselle in order to..."
He only said this and did not continue.
A fat-looking member smiled and said, "The 'leader' would not think that criminals would be stupid enough to sell the "relics" of Emperor Roselle, right?"
Everyone looked at him sideways.
The female member "Peacock" said, "To be honest, it is really a miracle that 'Elephant' can survive until now."
"Elephant" is the code name of the fat member, and he did not attend the last party.
The Hound said, "It is possible that the prisoners may have internal conflicts due to uneven distribution of the spoils, or that they are short of money."
He spread his hands, "Many cases have been solved using this simple method."
"Okay, okay." The Elephant waved his hands and said, "I need an extraordinary creature for the experiment, preferably a beast, preferably subdued.
This chapter is not yet finished, click the next page to continueIt's not too dangerous."
The other members were slightly stunned for a moment, and then they realized that they finally found an opportunity to ridicule "Elephant".
"Who would bring a supernatural creature with them?" "
Is 'Elephant' going to test whether his strength is greater than that of a supernatural creature?"
"No, 'Elephant' is also a supernatural creature. His main ability is provocation. He speaks harshly, making people want to beat him up."
"Hahaha~"
For a moment, the party scene became very cheerful.
"Elephant" wanted to refute many times, but was rebuked by other members. He sat there angrily and said, "Stupid idea!"
At this time, Odysseus finished writing the intelligence and asked the waiter to give it to "Hound". He smiled and said to "Elephant": "You'd better sell your potion honestly."
He knew very well that this guy was the "Fat Pharmacist". He forgot the specific name, but he remembered this person.
"Elephant" sighed and said, "I brought a lot of potions here. You know the effects. If you want them, just ask.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot there are new people. Let me briefly introduce you. I have potions that can quickly heal injuries, potions that can make you violent but more powerful, and potions that can help men... Oh, sorry, you don't seem to need that kind of potion, unless you are very dissatisfied with your husband or male partner's activities in bed at night."
Xiou wanted to ask about potions to heal injuries, but when she heard the latter part, she decisively gave up the idea.
The potion of "Elephant" was quickly sold out. At this time, "Peacock" suddenly said: "Everyone, I have received accurate information that the murderer of the "serial murder case" has an owner."
At this time, "Elephant", who did not attend the meeting last time, was a little surprised: "What owner?"
"Peacock" roughly explained to him.
When Xiou heard that the murderer of the "serial murder case" was actually an extraordinary creature, she was more surprised than "Elephant". Then she sighed: Why do I have an illusion that I am not living in Backlund? Why are there so many hidden secrets in some well-known things?
The "elephant" was muttering: "It also has an owner? If there is a chance, let's talk to him." The domain name of this website has been changed toThe information mentioned in the occult research meeting initiated by the "leader" was somewhat beyond Xio's expectations, and even made her feel unfamiliar with Backlund.
"I want to issue a task." The "hound" quickly browsed the information provided by the "leader" and then paid 50 pounds for the information, and then said: "Help me investigate who this person had contact with before he died."
After that, he took out a portrait and unfolded it: "I will provide detailed information about this person and some of the people he had contact with before he died. As long as you find a contact person who is not in the information, 10 pounds each, no upper limit.
"Well, it must be someone who has been in contact within three months. "
Odysseus saw that it was a portrait of the deceased informant of "The Mandated Punisher".
This was the third time he had come into contact with this person. The first time was when Enoch reported that someone was looking for this informant.
The second time was on the night of the black boxing match. He saw the real person during the match, but soon the real person turned into a corpse lying on the ground.
This was the third time he had seen this face.
Odysseus knew very well that this person died at the hands of the Royal Guards. This should involve nobles and even some secrets of the royal family. He should not provoke them if he could.
Then he thought again: I wonder if the Royal Guards and MI9 have cooperated in the assassination of this informant? Now the "hounds" from MI9 are checking who this informant had contacted before his death. It seems that after killing the other party, they did not get a satisfactory result.
At this time, Xio raised her hand: "I can try to take this task."
If there is detailed information, the commission of 10 pounds is very generous.
She thinks she can take a look at the information first, maybe she can come across some clues.
"Is the newcomer very active?" "Hound" smiled and said, "Who else is willing to take this task? I brought three files in total."
Soon, two other members also took up the task. The credit of "Hound" has always been very good, and the commission for this task is indeed quite generous.
After the release of the task of "Hound", "Lion" Byron, who was a little taciturn today, suddenly said: "There is new progress in my previous commission.
"After I squatted in the East District for about a week, I found that someone was secretly kidnapping homeless people. I followed the group and finally found that they locked everyone in a warehouse in the dock area.
"There, I saw Kapin."
The other members were slightly stunned. One of them said indignantly: "This doesn't seem to be surprising. This bastard will be punished sooner or later!"
Several other members also condemned Kapin one after another. Even in Backlund's extraordinary world, this guy has a bad reputation.
"Leader" Odysseus interrupted everyone's condemnation and asked "Lion": "Do you seem to want to continue investigating?"
"Yes!" "Lion" said in a very firm tone: "I want to get more evidence and then hand it over to reporters to expose the atrocities of this villain!
"You may not know that the fate of those homeless people in that warehouse is very miserable. They are sorted like livestock, and those who are weak and sick will be thrown into the deep water of the Tussock River.
"Everyone of them has a stone tied to their body, and no one can float up again..."
Hugh suddenly interrupted the "Lion": "Wait a minute, you mean that everyone of them has a stone tied to their body?"
"Yes, it's cruel, isn't it?"
"Don't you find the problem here?" Hugh first asked back, and then asked himself and answered: "If they don't meet Kapin's requirements, those weak homeless people should be driven away.
"Why tie stones to them?"
At this time, most members understood that it was too troublesome to do so. In the eyes of these human traffickers, perhaps a homeless person is not as valuable as the rope used to tie the stones.
The "lion" also understood: "He... they are, killing people to silence them."
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, the "hound" suddenly reminded: "I have heard of Kapin, he has a strong background, I suggest not to continue investigating."
He has done his best to remind this step. The domain name of this site has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
The "lion" looked at the "leader" opposite: "Excuse me, do you have any suggestions?"
Odysseus said: "Obviously, you are not going to listen to our suggestions."
The "lion" was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "I... I just..."
He took a deep breath: "I have always thought that I am not a good person, and I have seen too many dark things in Backlund.
"But this time, I feel that Kapin's actions have exceeded my limits.
"It is hard to imagine that hundreds of lives were sunk into the cold water like that. They struggled and cried.
"But they were too weak, and even their cries could not reach the shore. "
The living room was quiet for another second or two before Odysseus said, "If you are in danger, you can come to me and I will try to save your life."
After all, Kapin seemed to be about to die, so it didn't matter if he stepped on this "grasshopper after autumn".
The "Lion" stood up and said, "Thank you, thank you, I knew you wouldn't ignore it."
The "Hound" and the "Peacock" shook their heads, as if they were puzzled by the "Lion's" behavior.
Xio took a deep look at the "Chief" and then at the "Lion". Byron's determination was beyond her expectations, and the "Chief's" promise was also beyond her expectations.
This didn't seem like a scene that would happen at an extraordinary party.
The "Elephant" suddenly said, "If something happens to theWill the Church of the God of the Earth send someone else to host the party?"
"Peacock" looked at him: "If you don't speak, will you die?"
"Elephant" explained: "I just have this question. After all, this party is pretty good. At least I feel relieved to attend this party."
Odysseus smiled and said: "Maybe they will send someone else."
The topic ended here, and the intelligence transaction soon started again. After several transactions were successfully completed, a member said: "Everyone, I have something that is puzzling. Why do some strange things appear after the death of the Extraordinary?"
Someone then asked: "Did you kill a certain Extraordinary?"
"I didn't kill him." The member did not elaborate.
At this time, member "Wild Wolf" said: "To be honest, I have similar doubts."
The doubts about this issue can immediately tell which are wild Extraordinary and which are organized Extraordinary.
People like "Hound", "Peacock", "Wolverine" and "Elephant" obviously do not have similar doubts.
"This intelligence is very advanced. "Odis said, "But it's not impossible to trade. I can explain some of the principles. The total price is 500 pounds. This information is worth this price."
"Oh~"
No one thought that the price of this information was so expensive!
But fortunately, the "leader" said "total price". This is a unique trading method of the Mystic Research Society. As long as the buyers participating in the transaction have gathered the total price, they can trade.
For example, if the total price is 500 pounds and there are ten people participating in the transaction, each person needs to pay 50 pounds.
This amount of money is within the acceptable range.
Although Xio knew the concept of extraordinary characteristics, she didn't know the specific principles, so she also participated in this transaction. For this, she paid 26 pounds and 7 soli with great pain.
But the moment she got the answer, she was immediately relieved. She saw that the information given by the "leader" said: That is called extraordinary characteristics, which may be the most expensive thing on an extraordinary person.
Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but will only be transferred from one carrier to another... The domain name of this site has been changed toThe information Odysseus gave everyone explained in detail what extraordinary characteristics are, and mentioned a little knowledge of the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics and the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.
This made Xio immediately feel that her money was well spent. This was very advanced information at first glance, and here, it could be sold for more than 20 pounds.
In fact, what she didn't know was that her good friend Fors had just learned this information at the Tarot Club, and was currently racking her brains to think about how to tell her naturally.
In the living room, the members who received the information were silent for a while, because they immediately realized one thing: Extraordinary people are walking gold pounds.
According to the information given by the "leader", Extraordinary characteristics are expensive and can even replace the main materials of magic potions. So even if there is no hatred between two Extraordinary people, as long as one of them is eyeing the other's Extraordinary characteristics, it is very likely that a desperate fight will begin.
Then, they became wary of the people around them, but they thought that this party was still relatively reliable, so they were slightly relieved.
Soon they began to suspect several Extraordinary people they usually interacted with, but then they breathed a sigh of relief, because there were only a limited number of people who knew this knowledge.
They got this knowledge first, which was equivalent to having a great initiative.
While this transaction was going on, other intelligence transactions were also going on.
One piece of intelligence caught Odysse's attention. Blair, a wealthy businessman in Backlund, issued a task with a high commission: on the night of the full moon, take the carriage he provided and wander around Backlund.
It is said that the wealthy businessman wanted to do an experiment on a whim to see if there is a higher chance of encountering ghosts during the full moon.
This task can only be taken by extraordinary people. Many members expressed disappointment. They originally wanted to make this money.
This looks like a wealthy businessman squandering his money to study some ridiculous things.
But Odysseus, who has rich intelligence work, immediately realized that this matter was a bit unusual, and further guessed that it might be related to the "Rose School".
First of all, the specific condition of "full moon" makes people think of "werewolf" and "vampire".
But Odysseus thought that Sharon and Klein had just had a conflict with the "Indulgence Faction" of the "Rose School". Sharon and Maric must have been hiding recently. Perhaps only during the full moon can we find clues about them.
After all, there is only one "Crimson Moon Corona", either Sharon or Maric. During the full moon, one of them will be very weak, which may cause some strange phenomena to happen around them.
Odysseus did not show his concern about this matter, but he had decided in his heart that he would go directly to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute and tell Max this information and his conjecture.
After trading for more than half an hour, everyone's information was traded and exchanged.
At the last stage of the party, "Giraffe" said that he had received some "Emperor Roselle's Notes" and wanted to sell them to the "leader".
Odysseus picked up the notebook and sorted it roughly. There were 18 pages in one notebook, and the paper looked a little yellow. He took out 9 of them: "The symbols on these pages are similar to the notebooks displayed at the memorial exhibition. They are fakes."
He collected "Emperor Roselle's "relics", so he didn't want the copied things.
Then he sorted out 4 more pages: "There are problems with the paper of these four pages, they are also fakes."
In fact, the sentences are not coherent, and it is obvious that they are forged.
"Giraffe" sighed: "I didn't expect that you also have unique vision and insights in antiques."
Odysseus smiled: "I want these five pages, 10 pounds per page."
This is indeed a good price. Generally speaking, a page of handwritten "Roselle Notes" can be sold for one or two pounds. If it is a genuine one, the price is between 5 pounds and 8 pounds. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
But in order to show that it is a "high-priced acquisition", Odysseus gave a little more, anyway, it is not his own money.
Later, someone brought Roselle's "relics" to trade with Odysseus. Odysseus was not engaged in the antique business, so of course he could not distinguish whether it was genuine or not.
He had to use divination to determine it. In the stage of "Secret Peer", the results obtained by Odysseus using "astrolabe divination" were about the same level as "diviners".
But it was limited to "astrolabe divination". Unless there was the help of rituals, the results of other types of divination were much worse than those of "diviners".
After Odysseus was promoted to "Fighting Scholar", his divination ability improved slightly.
To be precise, it was not the divination ability that improved, but the spirituality became stronger, so the divination results were slightly more accurate than before.
The divination results of too complicated divinations were still very vague, but it was still possible to distinguish the authenticity.
From many "relics", Odysseus only spent 80 pounds to purchase a fountain pen that Emperor Roselle had used.
This is a fountain pen with an Intis style engraving on the pen cap. Unexpectedly, it can still be used after more than a hundred years.
After confirming that there were no more genuine products, Odysseus announced that the party was over.
He returned to the basement of 77 Hilton Avenue in the south of Green Park.
He took off his mask and cloak and turned back into Odysseus, the owner of the herbal medicine store.
This time, Odysseus simply took a rented carriage and went to the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute.
In the carriage, he took out the five pages of the diary and started reading:
May 12
Today, I discussed with Bishop Van Esteen what the "Comprehensive" path actually represents. After the discussion, Ihelped me a lot in my role playing.
Each path seems to have a core meaning, and no matter which sequence the role playing is, it seems that it cannot be too far away from this core meaning.
For example, in the "Generalist" path I am in, the "Generalist" has enhanced the ability to learn, understand and practice, and can recall all the knowledge-related things he has read before.
Sequence 8 "Archaeologist" is also using his knowledge to get the conclusion of things.
Later, although the professions involved are different, the qualitative changes brought to me by potions seem to be strengthened in the aspects of learning and using knowledge, especially in the use of knowledge, which makes my "hands-on ability" extremely strong, which is the biggest difference from the "Reader".
Then what about other paths? Do they also have such a core meaning? For example, the core meaning of the "Secret Peeper" path is "knowledge itself", so all role playing cannot leave the concept of "knowledge"?
What about the "Hunter" path? Can't leave the "Iron Tough Guy"? Hahaha, this reminds me of Florent, that idiot.
After reading this page of the diary, Odysseus roughly remembered that Florent was a member of the Sauron family who mastered the "Hunter" path.
One of his ancestors was suspected to have been a woman, and after reaching Sequence 4, he became a "hard-blooded man". Roselle wanted to make fun of this nobleman several times.
Then Odysseus nodded slowly: Roselle, this guy, sometimes thinks about some more profound things.
For example, this page of the diary reminded Odysseus that even if he is a "combat scholar", when acting, he should not deviate from the core meaning of "knowledge". The domain name of this site has been changed toThe money for the diary.
Then, when the Tarot Club comes, I can turn it in again... or I can turn it in twice, as a thank you for the help Mr. Fool provided before.
Now Odysseus has an excellent memory. He will not forget it as long as he reads it once, so there is no need to copy it for a copy.
More than 20 minutes later, the carriage arrived at the Backlund Mechanical Research Institute. Odysseus found Max and explained his conjecture about the suspicious rich businessman Blair to him in an undisturbed reception room.
Of course, names like Sharon would not appear in his conjecture. He only said that Max had told him before that there had been a battle in the "Rose School" recently in an abandoned West Balam dock, which made him have such a conjecture.
Although Odysseus repeatedly explained that this was just a conjecture based on his feelings, Max took it very seriously, because Odysseus's feelings had helped them to disrupt the actions of the evil secret organization many times.
Then, Odysseus reported that one of the members was investigating Kapin's affairs.
Max was about to report this information to his superiors, but he found that Odysseus did not leave immediately, so he asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"
Odysseus said, "I also received a few "relics" from Emperor Roselle."
Max understood and said, "Reimburse the expenses." The domain name of this website has been changed toAlthough Odysseus had some ideas about how to play the role of a "combat scholar", he always felt that he had not thought of the key to the problem.
Roselle's reminder made him suddenly realize that the core of the role play cannot be separated from "knowledge itself".
When he was fighting in the black boxing before, Odysseus felt that fighting with others was at best a role play, and his magic potion had no signs of digestion.
Now he finally understood that fighting is just accumulating practical experience, and the core of the role play is to think about the knowledge that can be obtained from fighting.
As for what knowledge can be obtained, Odysseus instantly thought of things like boxing manuals.
He thought about it carefully. Although there are many fighting schools in this extraordinary world, those schools basically only have something like a "general outline", and there are no books on systematic explanations of fighting.
Odysseus feels that he can try to write a book of this kind, but at the same time, he must also focus on actual combat. The experience and cases gained in actual combat, as well as the thinking about fighting, should be the true meaning of playing the role of a "combat scholar".
Thinking of this, he continued to browse and turned to the second page of the diary. This page was an analysis of the former royal family of Intis, the Sauron family.
It can be seen that when Roselle wrote this diary, he was already preparing to overthrow the royal family.
This analysis is quite interesting, but it is outdated, because the Sauron family has long been weak. According to some information that Odysseus accidentally obtained, this family seems to have no angels.
At least not on the surface. Even if there are hidden angels, it is estimated that the situation is not much better.
The content on the third page is not interesting. It is the process of Roselle's "invention" of the flush toilet not long after he came here.
The content of the fourth page once again attracted Odysseus's attention:
June 11th
Today I participated in the secret gathering of the ancient organization again. I heard one of the members talking about mystical symbols, which I found quite interesting.
That member believed that mystical symbols should have more powerful power, and the magic circle should not be just a decoration.
He gave an example. He found a broken magic circle in an elf "relic" he accidentally obtained.
The mystical symbols used by the elves are completely different from the current universal symbols. This member copied the magic circle, and even in the incomplete state, there was an electric current in the magic circle.
He guessed that a complete magic circle should emit a lightning.
This is very interesting. If it is a complete magic circle, can I use it to replace the generator?
But there is a fatal problem. It is necessary to constantly inject spirituality into the magic circle.
Haha, a group of extraordinary people inject spirituality into the magic circle to generate electricity. I might as well ask a "sea singer" to discharge electricity directly.
However, after hearing my request, the "sea singer" will most likely strike me with a lightning.
At the party, the member just lamented that it was difficult to complete the magic circle of the elves, and immediately other members expressed different opinions.
Two of the members' speeches were very wonderful and hit the point.
One said: This is a world dominated by extraordinary characteristics. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
One said: The magic circle is very inconvenient to carry and can only be used in a fixed position.
Yes, one problem is that any extraordinary ability in this world is inseparable from extraordinary characteristics and spirituality.
Especially for extraordinary characteristics, some advanced magic arrays need extraordinary power intervention to show their powerful extraordinary abilities.
As for the inconvenience of carrying, it is another fatal flaw. Instead of studying such a hopeless magic array, it is better to directly find the "Scroll Professor" to buy a few scrolls.
After reading this diary, Odysseus couldn't help but sigh: This world is not short of smart people! More than a hundred years ago, some people had already noticed the wider role of magic arrays, but the writing of this era limited their research.
Thinking of this, Odysseus smiled knowingly. The reason why he has already done very advanced research in this area is because he has an advantage that the extraordinary scholars in this world do not have: knowing a hieroglyph.
After coming to this world and after a period of research, Odysseus found that the mystical symbols in this world are like the evolution of hieroglyphs.
After doing some research in this direction, he found that it was indeed the case: the mystical symbols are a special kind of hieroglyphs.
The civilizations of the North and South continents should have used hieroglyphics, but around the Second Epoch, alphabetic writing became the mainstream, and hieroglyphics disappeared in the long river of history.
The evolution and research of mystical symbols stopped at that time, so Odysseus tried to further deduce mystical symbols, and it really worked better.
This process is a bit like using simplified Chinese characters to deduce oracle bone inscriptions or bronze inscriptions. Although the process is very difficult, it is always traceable for Odysseus.
Odysseus read the contents of the diary again: According to legend, the elves came from the Western Continent, and the Western Continent should have inherited hieroglyphics, so the magic array used by the elves should be different from the magic array of the North and South continents, and it is likely to be more effective.
He suddenly thought that he could try to check the "Knowledge Wilderness" to see if he could find some words and magic arrays of the elves.
Continue reading, the fifth page is not interesting either. It is Russell's evaluation of the figures of the two noble ladies, and the process of getting to know them and communicating deeply with them.
It can't be said to be boring, but it can be regarded as a novel with ambiguous plots.
Putting away the diary, Odysseus planned to hand over the five pages of the diary to the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in a while to reimburse the purchase of
This chapter is not yet finished, click the next page to continueIt cost Odysseus 130 pounds to purchase Roselle's "relics".
But when he asked for reimbursement, he said that he spent 151 pounds, in addition to the 20 pounds "handling fee", there was also 1 pound for hiring a horse-drawn carriage.
Of course, hiring a horse-drawn carriage certainly cost less than 1 pound.
After successfully getting the money, Odysseus took the horse-drawn carriage back to the herbal medicine store generously.
But as soon as he entered the door, he found two uninvited guests in the herbal medicine store: Simon, the owner of the underground fighting arena, and Gers, the manager.
The clerk Kena came up and said, "Sir, these two have been waiting for more than an hour."
Odysseus nodded, "I know."
He sat opposite Simon: "Didn't I tell you? I have no interest in your cooperation."
Simon still smiled with a bad face and said, "Last time I told you that I knew some relatively secret information, it seems that you didn't take it seriously.
"Then let me be more specific. I heard that the people in the church like to catch people like you who have magical powers. "
Odysseus said coldly: "Do you want me to give you a map of Backlund and tell you how to get to the three cathedrals of the church?
" "If you have decent channels, you will know that I am not afraid of your threats at all."
Simon was slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect Odysseus to say that. While judging whether the herbal shop owner in front of him was lying, he said: "The nobles also need some more exciting entertainment. They are in Queens..."
"There is a special fighting arena at 155 King's Avenue in Queens, right?" Odysseus sneered: "Compare intelligence with me?
"I also know that your real name is not Simon, but Diers. You have a daughter who is fostered by distant relatives at 349 Hillland Avenue in St. George District.
"Because you are afraid that your enemies will come to you, you dare not bring it with you."
Simon opened his mouth wide, with an incredible look on his face: "First... sir, I don't mean anything else."
Odysseus took out his pipe: "Everyone has weaknesses, right?"
Simon immediately stood up: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We will leave now. Please... please don't be angry."
Odysseus pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down."
Simon had to sit down obediently.
Odysseus lit the pipe, took a puff and said: "I can go to play a few games, but we are not cooperating, but you have to serve me.
"After each game, I will pay you one-tenth of the reward. In addition to the game, you have to deal with other trivial matters.
"Also, forge an identity document for me. I don't want to participate in the fight there with my real identity."
The fighting arena at No. 155 King's Avenue is more precisely an extraordinary fighting arena.
The nobles of Loen look cautious, elegant, and graceful on the surface, but in fact they also have a sinister, obscene, extravagant, and violent side.
The fighting arena has always existed in Backlund, but in modern times, this kind of fighting arena has gone underground and gradually disappeared from the public's view.
However, the nobles still like to watch life-and-death competitions, among which the extraordinary fighting is the most popular among the nobles. Odysseus heard that the price of just one ticket is as high as 100 pounds.
After being promoted to "Fighting Scholar", Odysseus wanted to go there to play a few games and hone his actual combat ability. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please remember.
Before the promotion, Odysseus knew that his combat power was about the same as that of a goose, and he tried not to fight with others. Even if he did, he had "Flame Arrow" and a scepter on him, and ordinary low-sequence extraordinary people were not his opponents.
If he accidentally provoked a "medium-sequence" extraordinary person, he would simply ask the "Mechanical Heart" for help. Of course, this has never happened in the past three years.
But after becoming a "Fighting Scholar", it was different. He needed to fight with others more often to hone his abilities in actual combat.
He had long wanted to try his skills in the fighting arena, which would not only train himself but also make money.
As for performing for the nobles, Odysseus had no psychological burden in this regard.
It was just that he had always lacked a reasonable channel to enter the underground fighting arena in Queens. He did not want to associate the matter of fighting in the fighting arena with "Mr. Gar" and "the leader".
Unexpectedly, Simon brought a good opportunity. When Simon proposed cooperation in the underground fighting arena in the bar, Odysseus planned to use this channel to go to the fighting arena in Queens.
But of course he would not be manipulated by a small person like Simon. At the same time, he knew very well that Simon would not give up. Today's meeting was inevitable, so Odysseus made some preparations in advance and took the initiative in this matter. Simon
was very happy to hear that this matter had taken a turn for the better: "No problem!"
Even if it was one-tenth, it would still be a considerable income.
As the owner of the underground fighting arena in the bar, he looked very glorious. When there were competitions, he would earn hundreds of pounds a night, but this kind of gray income must have a backer, otherwise there would be constant trouble.
A large part of the income would go to Simon for his backer.
He could put the income from serving Odysse into his own pocket, and he would also have the opportunity to meet some of Backlund's upper class.
Simon promised to report the progress tomorrow, and then politely said goodbye to Odysse.
Odysse looked at his pocket watch and said to Kena, "Let's go to the backyard. Today I will teach you how to deal with the leg bones of the mutant flamingo."
Dealing with those leg bones does not require much skill, and Kena can do it.
South Bridge District, No. 22 Tutwa Street.
Hugh Dilcha returned to her residence. To her surprise, Fors had already gotten up and was sitting at the desk writing furiously.
"Hugh, you're back." Fors looked up and smiled and asked, "What's new at that mysterious party?"
"That was a very strange party." Hugh hung his coat on the hanger and asked casually, "Are you rushing to finish the manuscript today?"
The smile on Fors' face disappeared immediately: "Yes, the manuscript has to be submitted tomorrow, and I have only written the beginning."
Hugh nodded slowly. She knew that was the case, otherwise Fors would not have gotten up so early.
"Now hearing some strange news can heal my anxious heart." Fors turned around with a chair and faced Hugh: "Tell me quickly, what magical things happened at that party?"
"Not magical at all." Hugh sat opposite Fors with a strong desire to talk: "The convener of the party actually promised to protect Byron..."
She briefly described Byron's investigation and the conversation between Byron and the "leader".
This is a very strange place. They have participated in so many extraordinary gatherings, and no one who initiated an extraordinary gathering would make such a promise.
"He must have justice in his heart!" Fors commented. The domain name of this website has been changed to (www.xiaoshubao.net). Please
