Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Audace first took a carriage back to the "Mahogany Ballroom", then returned to the Gahl Herbal Shop to complete his disguise.

Then, he took the carriage again, returned to 77 Hailin Road, disguised himself as the wizard Gandalf again, and used the "Teleportation Formation" in the basement to arrive at 66 Rose Lane.

All this running around made Audace sigh in his heart: "Having too many 'accounts' is really troublesome."

In the image of Gandalf, coming out of the basement, Audace sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. Recently, there was finally nothing to be busy with, and he could safely play the role of a wizard for a few days.

Thinking of this, he piled firewood in the fireplace, preparing to make a fire.

At this moment, Audace's spirituality suddenly felt someone watching him. He was immediately a little alert, but because he didn't feel any threat, he didn't immediately take a fighting stance, but continued to pile firewood.

By the time the firewood was piled up, Audace had already thought it through. Not many people knew that this new "Gandalf" account was Audace. The person peeking outside was likely here to visit the wizard Gandalf.

So Audace began his performance, first chanting a few spells, and then blowing lightly towards the fireplace. Immediately, flames burst into the fireplace, igniting the firewood.

"Ouch!"

Audace heard the exclamation outside and looked coldly in the direction of the door. To his surprise, the person at the door was actually the peddler who sold Deasy's pies yesterday!

Seeing the wizard looking at him, the peddler quickly took a few steps back.

Audace slowly walked to the door and opened it: "What are you doing sneaking around?"

The peddler quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Wizard, I... I'm here to apologize."

"Apologize for what?"

"Yesterday... last night, I shouldn't have given you that burnt pie," the peddler quickly replied.

Yesterday, after being robbed by the strong man, he was in no mood to do business, so he pushed the remaining pies home. At this time, he suddenly remembered the wizard's words, which seemed to say that he would be plagued by bad luck recently.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it should be the wizard's curse on him.

The peddler was frightened all night, afraid that the wizard would send some monster to kill him. He didn't sleep all night, and he came here early this morning to knock on the door.

But at that time, Audace had already left through the "Teleportation Formation".

The peddler knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. He was not in the mood to do business today, so he sat on the steps in front of the door and waited.

Just now, he heard a sound in the room, and looked through the window, just in time to see the wizard lighting the fireplace. When he saw the wizard "blowing" out the flames, he couldn't help but exclaim.

After Audace finished listening to the other party's description, he suddenly smiled: "I'm not so petty as to curse you because of a pie. When I told you that your luck wasn't very good recently, I was just describing the facts."

At that time, he opened the "Eyes of Secrets" and saw a dark patch on the peddler's spiritual body, which was a symbol of bad luck.

So when Audace said that sentence at the time, he was just trying to play the role of a wizard well.

The peddler nodded, seemingly understanding: "Then, then how can I end the bad luck?"

Audace raised his hand and pinched his temple, opened the "Eyes of Secrets", and saw that the top of the peddler's head was no longer so dark, but there was no light either, which meant that his luck in the last two or three days was neither good nor bad.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Come in with me."

After speaking, he walked in front: "I have herbs here that can end bad luck in advance, but you have to pay a certain price to get them."

"What price?"

"16 Soles." Audace didn't "ask for an exorbitant price". The money he wanted was the value of the herbs themselves plus the price of a Deasy's pie.

The peddler breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, okay."

He had enough money with him today.

Audace took a small paper bag, opened one of the jars, and used a wooden shovel to scoop a little powder into the paper bag.

The moment Audace opened the jar, the peddler behind him seemed to smell the scent of sunshine.

In Backlund, such a scent was intoxicating.

Audace folded the paper bag and handed it to the peddler: "Go back and use this bag of medicine to take a bath. After you use it, your bad luck will end early."

In fact, it was some "Golden Sunflower" powder, with a little "Golden Orange" powder added.

If you feel that the house is humid, sprinkle a handful of this powder into the fireplace, and the humidity can be removed by more than half immediately.

And if you use it to take a bath, you will feel warm and comfortable all over.

The peddler's bad luck had already ended. Having such an experience would make him think that he had gotten rid of the bad luck with the help of the wizard.

Seeing that there were only so few herbs, the peddler paused before quickly taking out the money and counting out 16 Soles.

He thought it was too little because he was not a mystics enthusiast. Audace had been selling herbs for so many years, and he had never cheated on the quantity.

Mysticism was originally an expensive hobby.

Moreover, Audace was relatively conscientious, only selling him so little.

Audace leaned the staff against the wall, took the money with one hand, and handed the medicine to the peddler with the other: "Young man, remember this lesson."

Although Audace was not so petty, he was not generous either. If the peddler had exchanged the burnt pie for him yesterday, then when the big guy robbed him, he would have beaten the other party so that he would never dare to rob again in his life.

The peddler took the herbs and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

After seeing the peddler off, Audace returned to the sofa and sat down, warming himself by the fireplace while reading a book to pass the time.

He ate a little something for lunch and continued reading in the afternoon.

This made Audace sigh in his heart: This kind of day is really pleasant. I really hope the next customer can come later.

Just then, a phrase appeared on his book: I'm here.

Audace didn't put down the book, continuing to maintain his reading state: "Luckily, I didn't wait for you to save my life."

"You changed your address and changed your disguise. I searched for a long time before I found you," Bernadet's voice came from the air.

Audace said: "I met people from the 'Moses Ascetic Order' again..."

He roughly described the encounter this morning, of course not mentioning the spoils.

After a few seconds of silence, Bernadet said: "They only sent Sequence 6 to catch you?"

"You also think it's very strange, don't you?"

Bernadet didn't answer Audace's question, but asked instead: "Did they attract you to a certain place, or leave important clues about a certain place?"

Audace thought seriously for a while before saying: "No, at least I don't remember."

"If I have to say, it made Bernie's residence important."

Before that, Audace already felt that it was not a very important clue.

Without any mistakes, one first issue, one content, one look, one look!

But with today's encounter, he definitely had to seriously investigate that address, but it was "Heart of Machinery" who would investigate.

The air was silent again for a while, and Bernadet said: "I have also been looking for people from the 'Moses Ascetic Order' recently."

"I can foresee that they are currently planning a major event, but I am not very clear about what it is."

Audace nodded: "We will exchange information with each other at any time. In a few days, I will ask 'Heart of Machinery' if they have found anything?"

"Okay."

Ding-a-ling~

Audace glanced at the door and then whispered, "Wait a moment, I'll go see who it is."

Coming to the door, Audace saw that the visitor was a man in his thirties, whose clothes were not gorgeous, but very particular. He opened the door and said, "Hello."

"Hello." This gentleman had a bit of a cross-eyed look, which made him look a little comical: "May I ask if you are Wizard Gandalf?"

"Yes." Audace said in an indifferent tone: "Please come in."

Audace walked in front, without any pretense, sat down in the original position, and then gestured for the guest to sit down.

The man sat opposite Audace, looking somewhat nervous.

Audace said: "I'm sorry, I don't have tea or coffee here."

After a pause, he felt that he still had to say the line: "And my drink is poisonous to you, so I won't ask you to drink it."

The man immediately sat up straight and said, "I'm not thirsty, I'm not thirsty."

A voice suddenly came from the fireplace: "Heh heh."

The man stood up suddenly, almost unable to stand steady because he got up too quickly: "Who? Who is there?"

"No one." Audace smiled and said, "There's no one there."

The man looked left and right at the fireplace, and found that there was indeed no one there, before sitting down again with a guarded expression.

Audace said: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

The man calmed down slightly before saying: "Mr. Wizard, please keep what I am about to say a secret."

"Okay, tell me." Audace had a bad feeling.

The man seemed to have mustered up his courage before saying: "Can... can you give me a child?"

Audace was somewhat helpless: "What do you want a child for? You can't give birth."

"Haha!" Laughter rang out from the fireplace again.

The man stood up for the second time, trembling all over, looking at the fireplace: "Who is there?"

"No one." Audace sighed and said, "Let's talk about business."

He said: "Are you and your wife infertile?"

After hearing the word "infertility", the man stopped looking at the fireplace and became somewhat embarrassed: "Yes, yes."

Audace thought for a while and said: "I do have a way, bring 50 pounds tomorrow and come again."

The man was somewhat disbelieving: "Really?"

Audis chuckled. "The reasonable use of herbs is a wizard's forte. If you don't trust that, then don't bother coming."

He just wanted to quickly conclude this 'business' to prevent the lady by the fireplace from laughing again.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely come tomorrow."

After seeing the man off, Bernadette's voice echoed through the air once more: "Are you a wizard or a pharmacist? Or are you planning to 'send' his wife a child?"

"Have some restraint," Audis said, a little helplessly. "I wasn't even joking about that."

He paused for a moment, then added: "It's just that I happen to know a pharmacist. He's very trustworthy, and his prices are fair. One dose of herbs only costs 10 pounds."

"Given the situation this gentleman is in, his wife and he might each need a dose."
