Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

“Namu Restaurant,” third floor.

Klein glanced at the person in the portrait, around thirty years old, looking listless.

He asked, "Is this mission dangerous?"

“There is some danger,” Audis said, “But you only need to find the person, you don't need to do anything else, the danger should not be great.”

He said: "As for the reward, if you find the person, 60 pounds. If you only find important clues, 20 pounds."

“The reward is very generous.” Klein smiled and said, “I accept this commission.”

He didn't even divine whether there was any danger in this mission, because he didn't intend to go looking for it himself, but planned to find time to divine the person's whereabouts "above the gray fog."

Even if there is only a portrait, without hair or clothes that the person has worn, or frequently used items, using the power "above the gray fog", he can also divine some vague clues.

Through divination, he can know whether his search in the real world will be dangerous.

If there is no danger, he will go and confirm it.

If there is danger, he will provide the clues to Mr. Galsang and only earn the 20 pounds reward for important clues.

Then Klein added: "However, I have to wait until my mission to protect Mike is over before I can help you find this person."

In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. As long as he goes to the restroom, he can complete an important part of this mission, but that would mean staying in the restroom for a long time, and it is very likely to expose his secret of using divination to solve cases, so he doesn't intend to do that.

“Okay.” Audis nodded: “This mission is not that urgent.”

He chatted with the two of them for a few more words, and then used the "Teleportation Formation" to return to the herbal medicine shop.

Audis had a lot of things to do this week. First, he used the name and identity of Gandalf to rent a townhouse.

And began to use the intelligence network of "Namu Ballroom" to spread the news that "Famous Wizard" Gandalf had come to Backlund.

The general content of this news is: Wizard Gandalf is good at solving all kinds of strange and mysterious problems. Anyone who has needs in this area can consult this "Famous Wizard".

Audis plans to take advantage of the next period of time to find opportunities to play the role of "Wizard" as much as possible, maintain his good condition, and seek opportunities to digest the potion.

In the afternoon, Audis returned to the herbal medicine shop and began to think about how to decorate it.

First of all, the light should be a little dim. The lighting in the house he rented today is not very good. In fact, there is no need to decorate it much, just change the sofa cushions and some bright-colored furniture to dark colors.

Some herbs can be planted in the house to increase the sense of mystery. In addition, there must be a cauldron on the fireplace.

In people's impression, wizards use this thing to boil potions, but Audis has seen that thing, and it doesn't seem to be very useful.

But in order to maintain the image of the wizard, he had to try it out.

After determining the decoration style, Audis saw that there was still some time, so he went to the library to look up books about wizards.

For example, novels with wizard characters, and wizard images in some horror stories.

Audis didn't return to the herbal medicine shop until the library closed.

However, Audis did not help in the front shop, but studied new witchcraft in the backyard.

He was wondering if he should really write a "Complete Book of Witchcraft"? Because he has already invented more than a dozen kinds of witchcraft, and at least he needs to make some records.

The whole day on Wednesday was very fulfilling, and the two days on Thursday and Friday were also spent doing these things.

It's just that after these two days of arrangement, the townhouse just rented at No. 77 Rose Street is almost decorated. It is estimated that it will be able to "open for business" next week.

At the same time, because Audis has a complete intelligence network, the information he spread has been effective. It is said that some wealthy businessmen with special needs are inquiring about the address of Wizard Gandalf.

In addition, Audis decided to write a "Complete Book of Witchcraft", because with the experience of "Summary of Fighting", the outline of this book appeared in Audis's mind.

The opening still elaborates on wizards and witchcraft, and will write down his experience in digesting potions. The second part is his self-created witchcraft, and the third part is the application of witchcraft.

This book certainly cannot be published publicly like "Summary of Fighting". Audis plans to have this book exist in the form of "Book of Secrets".

It is only spread among Extraordinary people, and except for a few "genuine" books printed by Audis, the others are handwritten copies.

Audis also used these few days to make various powders to be used in conjunction with witchcraft. Since the "Mysterious Queen" predicted that there would be a test on the weekend, he had to actively respond.

In addition to this, he is also paying attention to the progress of the fighting arena and the Lulush events.

Now Lulush has completely become a hero who punishes those who have not been duly sanctioned. Therefore, there has also been a war of public opinion. On Thursday, newspapers suddenly published reports smearing Lulush.

But on Friday, other newspapers immediately praised Lulush's spirit and condemned the smearing reports.

Audis did not participate in this war of public opinion. This is a struggle between the radical and conservative factions in the Loen government.

The conservatives are unwilling to see the emergence of such a hero, while the radicals hope to use Lulush to attack the conservatives.

So the two sides started a war of public opinion in which the parties involved became bystanders.

The radicals' attack on Viscount Wade is also kicking off. The entire Backlund has a lot to report this week.

On Saturday morning, Audis was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper in the herbal medicine shop.

Today's headline is that the King has ordered that Viscount Wade's noble title be downgraded to Baron.

Audis smiled. Obviously, the radicals have gained a significant advantage.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, Viscount Wade's son had such a big scandal. The King only downgraded Wade's title, which was already avoiding the radicals' pursuit after a complete victory.

It is estimated that Wade is not in the mood to avenge his son now, and reporter Mike is completely safe.

However, Audis still plans to send the manuscript of "Summary of Fighting" to Mike next week.

In the morning, Audis received a report from Mandy that reporter Mike and Detective Sherlock had left "Namu Ballroom".

Then he should be able to get important clues about Bernie soon.

As Audis expected, in the afternoon, his pocket watch lit up again, it was a signal from Mandy.

Audis immediately went to the basement to change into Mr. Galsang's clothes, and rushed to "Namu Ballroom". Sure enough, he saw the returning "Detective Sherlock" here again.

“The person in the portrait has been found for you.” Klein said seriously: “To be precise, his body has been found.

“I have confirmed that the corpse is the person in the portrait.”

Audis had already thought of such a result, so he said: "Please take me to see it."

The two took a carriage provided by "Namu Ballroom" and came to a relatively remote street in the North District. They jumped over the wall and entered a deserted courtyard.

Klein opened the door leading to the basement in front. A musty smell and a faint smell of corpse came from inside. Entering the basement, he saw Bernie's body.

Audis's spirituality can confirm that this person is the one who bought "Sunflower" from Galsang Herb Shop before.

At this time, he was sitting in the corner, staring ahead with his eyes lost in sight. Many exposed parts of his face and the back of his hands had been gnawed by rats, especially his cheeks, and several teeth were exposed, making him look hideous.

Audis asked: "Can you speculate how he died? And how long has he been dead?"

Klein replied: "The time of death should be last week…"

“Last week?” Audis looked at the corpse again, confirming that there were no signs of large-scale rotting.

Klein saw "Mr. Galsang's" doubts: "When I first came, there were still ice slags around here, which should have been used to delay the speed of the corpse's decay."

In fact, it was the time of death he divined. In fact, there was no ice in the basement, but strangely, after about a week, the corpse still did not have obvious signs of decay.

Klein guessed that this should be an incidental effect of some extraordinary ability, but he had no idea what the specific ability was, so he made up the statement of ice.

Because although Klein and Mr. Galsang knew that each other was an Extraordinary, they had not yet broken through this layer of window paper.

Audis probably understood what Klein meant. He guessed that Bernie might have died not long after buying "Golden Sunflower" from the herbal medicine shop.

“He looks like he died from excessive blood loss.” Klein continued: “But I couldn't find the wound.”

Audis observed carefully, but couldn't find any clues, so the two left the basement together.

Just as the two were going up the steps, behind them, the eyes of Bernie's corpse leaning against the wall suddenly turned and looked at the two people who were leaving.

Audis and Klein both sensed something and looked back together.

But Bernie's corpse's eyes had returned to their previous angle.

The two looked at each other and realized that the corpse was abnormal.

However, Klein had no intention of continuing the investigation, and Audis also planned to send this information to "Machine Heart" for official Extraordinary people to investigate.

So the two tacitly looked away, pretending that nothing had happened, and quickly left here.

Getting into the carriage, Audis counted out 60 pounds in cash: "You are a very capable detective."

Klein took the money, confirming its authenticity as he said, "It's just good luck. My informant happened to discover a lead."

"I have two more commissions here," Audis continued. "First, find this person's address. Second, try to investigate who he met before his death."

"This commission may be a little dangerous, but the reward will also increase."

"The first commission is 30 pounds, the second commission is 30 pounds for each person found. If you find the person hidden behind Bernie, it's 100 pounds."

Klein smiled and said, "I accept this commission."

He still accepted the commission without divination because he only intended to complete the first commission, which was almost without any danger. The second commission sounded very dangerous. When the time came, he could say that he was not capable enough to find the people Bernie had met before his death.

Also, he didn't divine in front of Mr. Gahr to prevent Mr. Gahr from noticing his divination ability.

The carriage first sent Klein back. After Audis returned to the herbalist shop, he immediately went to write a letter to "Heart of the Machine." When the letter was half-written, the shop assistant, Keina, came to the backyard and said that a medicine purchaser wanted to see Audis about something important.

Audis didn't think much about it and followed him out.

Arriving at the shop, he saw that the medicine purchaser was actually Bernie!
