Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

As night fell, it was in the West End, at 75 Hailin Avenue.

Even sitting in Audis' living room, Bernadette still couldn't quite believe that she had accepted Audis' invitation to taste the meat of the mutated flamingo.

She had almost forgotten the last time she had been so spontaneous as she was today.

Perhaps it was because the afternoon's discussion had been so profound that she was somewhat interested in Audis' invitation, Bernadette thought.

Now that she was here, she stopped thinking about it and got up to look at the few pieces of art in the living room, only to find that they were all high-quality imitations.

Bernadette smiled knowingly, which was quite like the Audis she knew. According to her recent observations using "Invisible Servants," Audis' income was basically all spent on mystical research.

With his income, he could easily afford a carriage, but he was still riding the public carriage!

The many exquisite handicrafts displayed on the wall-mounted shelves were probably the most valuable items in the room.

Bernadette saw models of steel warships, figures in strange armor with an industrial aesthetic, and models of things like trains and flying castles.

On the top shelf were two photos.

One was a personal photo of Audis, wearing a top hat and formal suit, looking to the left front, as if seeing his future or gazing into the distance.

The one on the right was a photo of Audis standing in front of the herbal medicine shop.

At this moment, Audis called from the dining room, "Dinner is ready."

"Okay," Bernadette replied, walking into the dining room, where the table was already full of food.

There was roast meat, meat soup, fried meat, and stir-fried meat with chili peppers, but all the meat was from the mutated flamingo.

Because 45 leg bones of the mutated flamingo were needed to carve the magic array on the "Flame Arrow," 23 mutated flamingos were hunted.

The thin, long legs, liver, blood, and seven long tail feathers of this spiritual creature were spiritual materials with fire attributes.

But the other parts were just ingredients with relatively rich spirituality.

Audis certainly wouldn't waste such good things. Besides leaving two for Old Anlier, he gave two to the shop assistant Kaina, kept five for himself, and sent five to Max.

The remaining nine were sent to the "N楠木 Dance Hall" to be used as gifts for the socialites to visit nobles.

Those nobles knew their stuff and certainly knew these were good things.

Audis used four of the five he brought back to cook tonight's dinner.

He also made a vegetable salad, cut a fruit platter, bought some desserts and bread, and bought a bottle of red wine.

Thus, there was this sumptuous dinner.

Bernadette looked at the dishes: "It looks pretty 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.

Audis also picked up his knife and fork: "I've always been curious, do high-level extraordinaries like you still 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?"

Even in Backlund, taking pictures was a relatively extravagant expense.

Audis smiled and said, "Cameras are quite fun."

Actually, he mainly wanted to experience what it felt like to take pictures in this era. There were already box cameras, and although they looked bulky, it was no problem to take a relatively exquisite black and white photo.

"When you continue to advance, you will find even more fun things," Bernadette said with a smile, snapping her fingers in the air.

Audis immediately saw a sketchbook and a paintbrush appear on one side of the dining table. The two items were suspended in the air, and an invisible force controlled the paintbrush, rapidly writing and drawing on the paper.

After only a dozen seconds, the paintbrush stopped, and the drawing board turned to face Audis and Bernadette.

Audis saw that it was a realistic painting, depicting the scene of the two people eating.

Even though there was only one paintbrush from beginning to end, the painting was actually in color, and it was so lifelike that it was almost like a color photo.

This made Audis exclaim, "It's still convenient to be an extraordinary."

Hearing Audis' somewhat surprised exclamation, Bernadette smiled and snapped her fingers again, and an invisible hand took the painting down and handed it to Audis.

"Thank you," Audis said, taking the painting. "I'll buy a frame and keep it."

Bernadette said nonchalantly, "It's just a painting."

Without exception, a first, a hair, an inside, a capacity, a at, a look, a look!

Then they ate and chatted, and Bernadette asked again, "I've always been curious, why do you spend so much effort building your intelligence network?"

The Mystical Research Society had built an intelligence network in the Backlund extraordinary world. Although it didn't have information on the big figures in the extraordinary world, Audis could know any movements in the extraordinary world in the first instance.

And the "N楠木 Dance Hall" was an intelligence network among the Backlund nobles. Audis knew the secrets of many nobles very well, and he could use this information to create huge profits when he needed it.

"The reason is very simple," Audis raised his glass, took a sip of wine, and then said, "Intelligence is a very valuable, but relatively safe, 'commodity.'"

"Let me give you an example. If you need some information about Backlund, you're likely to buy it from me, rather than capture me and torture me, right?"

Bernadette also raised her glass: "What if you encounter a madman like the Aurora Order? They might just kill you and then use spiritism to get the information."

"That's why I cooperate with the orthodox churches," Audis said with a smile. "The Aurora Order is a special case. No matter what I do, it's dangerous to encounter the madmen of the Aurora Order."

At this time, Bernadette revealed her true purpose: "I understand that there are also members of the Aurora Order in the gatherings you initiate."

"They are indeed very dangerous, but as long as you grasp their needs, you can also use them," Audis said. "Of course, I know this is very dangerous, so I have always made it impossible for them to find me."

As for divination and other methods of searching, the "Knowledge Wilderness" naturally helps to block them, so there is no need to worry about being found by this group of madmen.

Audis smiled and said, "But, I can find them."

Bernadette slowly nodded, as long as there was no too deep connection with the Aurora Order, it would be fine.

After that, their topic became lighter, basically discussing some plays, operas, Backlund anecdotes, and so on.

At around 9 PM, after eating and drinking his fill, and drinking tea in front of the fireplace for a while, Bernadette said goodbye.

Audis had originally planned to take her to her doorstep, but Bernadette disappeared in front of the fireplace.

He stretched, but did not rest immediately, but began to prepare for tomorrow's Mystical Research Society.

Tomorrow, Hugh Dilcha will participate as a new member.
