Odis was entangled by Eleanor's spider silk. He quickly sprinkled a handful of red powder and used "Flame Spell" to burn the spider silk.

Although these spider silks were tough, they couldn't withstand the fire. He and Brad escaped instantly.

However, the orange flames of "Flame Spell" suddenly turned black, turning into a ball of black flames and pouncing towards Odis.

Odis quickly landed on the ground to dodge. The black flames ignited the trees in the forest, and those trees instantly withered.

At this time, Odis had flown over the wall of corpses and undead. He sprinkled a handful of white powder on his and Brad's legs and ran wildly down the mountain.

Brad had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue climbing. He felt that he hadn't run so much or so fast today in the first half of his life combined.

However, he soon discovered that he had clearly run out of strength just now, but now his legs were striding like the wind, completely out of his control.

After a little thought, he understood that the powder sprinkled by the wizard had taken effect.

At this moment, Brad, while running, seemed to see a tree smiling.

Hehehe...

At first, he thought he was seeing things, but when he heard the eerie laughter, he was sure that the trees were really laughing.

On the dry bark, strange smiling faces were revealed, and branches were stretched out to block the two people running wildly.

Odis in front didn't slow down, sprinkling a handful of iron-black powder. These powders rippled in the air, emitting a smell like rust.

The surrounding trees seemed to be very afraid of the powder, and they screamed and dodged.

Odis grabbed handfuls of powder in front, and finally broke through the obstruction of these trees.

At the same time, Brad felt that his legs were not moving as fast as before. The power of the white powder was weakening. He felt a chill behind him. When he looked back, the corpses behind him had already caught up and were not far from him.

Brad was shocked and felt that he had gained strength again, running wildly.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the front: "Lie down!"

Before Brad could react, the wizard grabbed his collar and threw him to the ground.

Da da da da da...

The sound of machine guns rang from the bottom of the mountain. Purification bullets with firelight shot towards the corpses. The corpses that were hit fell to the ground and remained motionless, turning into real corpses.

The undead that Brad couldn't see were also shattered by the purification bullets.

In just a few seconds, the pursuers behind had fallen to the ground.

Odis sat on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk and laughing loudly: "This is the first time I've felt the sound of gunfire so pleasant!"

"Don't worry about us, go to the top of the mountain quickly, don't let that guy escape!"

Brad saw black figures rushing up the mountain. He lay on the ground, also showing a smile.

Although he didn't know who those people were, he knew that the wizard's reinforcements had arrived.

Odis shouted at those backs: "Be careful! Besides being a 'Pleasure Witch', she also has some very strange abilities!"

Those black figures had disappeared into the forest, and it was unknown whether they had heard it.

At this time, two more figures came out of the forest, one of whom asked: "Are you injured?"

These were two low-sequence "Heart of Machinery" team members, responsible for taking care of the wounded.

"No," Odis said: "But this Lord is exhausted. Do you have any potions to restore strength?"

"Yes."

Brad was fed a small bottle of icy potion in a daze. Soon, he felt that he had regained some strength. With the support of a "Heart of Machinery" team member, he returned to the castle.

At this time, only the coachman who was sleeping soundly and Brad's personal male servant were left in the castle, because they had to follow Brad back to Backlund, so they avoided the misfortune of being affected by Eleanor.

Two or three hours later, the "Heart of Machinery" and "Night Watchers" also returned to the castle. They caught up with Eleanor and injured her, but she still escaped.

She did have very strange abilities. The undead and corpses on the entire mountain seemed to be under her control.

Moreover, she could also extract the lives of others, making her difficult to deal with.

A "Heart of Machinery" team and a "Night Watchers" team failed to kill her.

Some of the servants in the castle were rescued. Many of them were affected by the ability of "Bewitchment" and did not die.

It wasn't that Eleanor was kind and didn't kill them, but that she wanted to keep these people and extract their lives when needed.

Odis asked his old friend Max: "Do those strange abilities of hers come from a Sealed Artifact?"

Max shook his head and said: "This is a bit like the power from believing in evil gods that appears in some reports. It is said that believing in certain evil gods can allow Beyonders to possess some strange abilities, while not affecting their use of their own Beyonder abilities."

He looked at the long beard on Odis's face, wanting to ask him what he was doing, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth.

Odis nodded, recalling the strange and uneasy symbol in the center of the altar. This was a field that made him feel unfamiliar.

After that, the "Heart of Machinery" withdrew overnight, handing this place over to the "Night Watchers" team. At the same time, this case was also the responsibility of the "Night Watchers". However, after all, the "Heart of Machinery" had participated in the investigation. According to convention, the investigation results must be reported to the "Heart of Machinery" at the end of the case.

Everyone first took Brad's carriage to the collapsed location, then walked through here, and then took the "Heart of Machinery"'s carriage to leave.

When the carriage came to Rose Street, Brad sincerely thanked him: "Wizard, thank you very much for your help. Without you, I..."

Odis waved his hand: "It's nothing, punishing evil Beyonders is the responsibility of every wizard."

Of course, the promised reward should not be less, otherwise, Odis would send the bill to the Lord's mansion.

In fact, if Odis hadn't appeared suddenly, Brad would have been able to entangle with Eleanor for a while, but in that case, Brad's spirit might have suffered irreparable damage.

Even now, Brad's spirit should be a little problematic. Odis had quietly mentioned this matter to the "Night Watchers". The "Night Watchers" said that they would send someone to visit and "chat" with Brad.

When he returned to his residence, it was already past three in the morning. Odis had not eaten dinner, so he made himself a bowl of noodles for supper, then simply washed up, and used the ability of "Meditation" to enter a dream.

In a daze, he had a dream.

Odis dreamed that he had returned to the village composed of cemeteries on the top of the mountain, and Brad also came back with him. The two of them stood in front of the grass shed, quietly watching the strange symbol on the altar in a daze.

The strange symbol suddenly moved, like an octopus, pouncing towards Odis...

Huff~

Odis woke up from his dream and saw the light outside the window. It was already morning.

He took a deep breath and carefully checked his spiritual body with spirituality, everything was normal.

Odis guessed that his spirit might have been affected by that symbol, but this effect would disappear on its own in a day or two.

Then Odis realized that the evil god Eleanor believed in seemed to be even more terrifying than evil gods like the "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth". He was only affected by taking a glance at that symbol.

Ding-ling~

Coming to the first floor, Odis, who had just made himself a cup of coffee, heard the doorbell ring.

In order to maintain the image of a wizard, Odis had to hide the coffee in the cabinet and come to the front to open the door.

Outside the door was a middle-aged man who looked like a butler. He claimed to be the butler of Lord Brad Rick, and brought Odis the previously agreed reward.

As he spoke, the other party handed over a thick envelope. Odis opened it and saw a thick stack of 10-pound banknotes inside.

He counted it briefly: "There are 200 pounds more than the price we talked about."

The butler took off his hat: "The Lord said that the extra money is his gratitude to you. Please be sure to accept it."

Odis thought to himself: This guy is really rich!

"Thank you for me, Lord," Odis said with a smile. Of course, he would accept this kind of money with a smile. After all, when he learned that he was not Eleanor's opponent, he did not abandon this burden in such a crisis.

The butler didn't even sit down. After Odis had counted the money, he left immediately.

Odis put away the money. At this time, his savings had reached 8,000 pounds, which was considered a relatively wealthy part of the population even in Backlund.

Unfortunately, there was still a long way to go before he could buy the Sealed Artifact with the "Travel" ability.

He planned to earn more than a thousand pounds at the Tarot Club in the afternoon, and save it little by little. He should be able to save enough 12,000 pounds before the end of the year.

At that time, he could ask Bernadette to pay a part in advance, and complete the transaction with the "Travel" ability first.

Odis sat on the sofa again, reading a book while waiting for customers.

No new customers came to the door all morning. In the afternoon, Odis locked the door from the inside early and came to the bedroom on the second floor, taking a nap first.

The reminder of spirituality woke him up when it was almost three o'clock. After sobering up a little, his eyes were covered by gray fog, and he instantly came to the Giant Palace.

"Good afternoon! Mr. Fool." "Justice" Audrey greeted all the members as usual, while observing the other members.

“The Sun's” mood was very stable. Obviously, no urgent matters had occurred in the “Forsaken Land of the Gods.” The other members were as usual. “The Hanged Man” was calm and steady. “The World” and “The Hermit's” expressions and body language were well-hidden. “The Magician” still seemed a little lazy.

After the greetings concluded, since no one had offered up the diary of Rosell this week, they directly proceeded to the Tarot Club's trading session.

Audrey was still the first to speak: “I'm selling a Sealed Artifact.”

“The Fool” Klein was stunned: Selling a Sealed Artifact again? Didn't you sell one last week?

“The Hanged Man” Alger also pondered: Still the spoils from last week? Or does “The Hermit” have an organization behind him, using his channel at the Tarot Club to sell Sealed Artifacts?

Audrey didn't know what the other members were thinking. He continued, “That Sealed Artifact corresponds to Sequence 9 of the ‘Theft’ pathway.

“The ability is to enhance the wearer's agility and grant them superb thieving skills.

“The negative effect is that it makes it difficult to suppress the urge to steal.

“Is anyone willing to take it?”

This dagger had been seized from the fighting arena previously and had been kept in the “Knowledge Moor.” There was no way to sell it in Backlund.

Alger asked, “How much are you planning to sell it for?”

“350 pounds.”

Alger readily said, “I'll take it.”

In the extraordinary world, Sealed Artifacts were very sought after. Alger, with his extensive channels, still planned to resell it. Compared to the Sealed Artifact from last week, this deal would earn him less, but making thirty or forty pounds shouldn't be a problem.

He added, “Also, sell me that supernatural weapon you mentioned last time. I've found a buyer for you, but the price is 280 pounds. Are you willing to sell it?”

Audrey immediately nodded, “I am.”

Although it was a bit lower than the market price, this price was acceptable to Audrey.

After completing the first transaction very quickly, “The Magician” Forsi proposed a new transaction: “Mr. Fool, I hope to trade for that ‘Constable’ Beyonder characteristic from your Blessed.”

Xio hadn't saved enough money yet, but Forsi had now become Dorian's student. Her teacher said they could help her provide the main ingredients for the potion, so Forsi planned to help Xio buy the Beyonder characteristic first.

“The Fool” Klein nodded faintly: “You may.”

Although he was secretly delighted, he couldn't say much. After all, “The Fool” couldn't pay attention to such “small” transactions.

The hall was quiet for a few seconds. After confirming that Mr. Fool had nothing else to say, Alger said to Audrey, “Can we trade information about the elves and the Elf King now?”

“We can.” Audrey replied, “I've helped you understand a lot of information about the elves.”

Alger asked, “What form of transaction do you want to use?”

“Still pounds.” Audrey said, “1000 pounds.”

“Deal.” Alger said immediately.

Although 1000 pounds was not a small sum, Alger felt that the money was well spent. After all, this kind of information was priceless. Most of the time, even if you had pounds in your hand, it was difficult to trade for it.

Audrey immediately said, “I am willing to contribute 300 pounds to join this transaction.”

Alger was of course very happy to have someone share the cost with him: “Okay.”

The other three members also expressed their willingness to join the transaction. Forsi still used chapters from “Spirit World Encounters,” “The Sun” Derrick still used ancient myths, and “The World” still used mystical knowledge.

Alger said: “Okay, but I don't count the knowledge and stories I've heard.”

He was well aware that this kind of knowledge was also very valuable. If he encountered someone who urgently needed this knowledge, he could sell it for two or three hundred pounds.

After discussing how to trade, everyone looked at Audrey together.

Audrey said: “To make it easier to understand, I must first tell you about the concept of Ancient Gods.

“Before the Seven Gods, there were still some gods in existence. We generally call those gods Ancient Gods.”
