Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

#149 - New customers come to the store

The carriage parked in front of 66 Rose Street was decorated very luxuriously, and its shape was even more beautiful, unlike most carriages running on the road.

Seeing the carriage, Audis guessed that a wealthy man who had bought a title was sitting inside.

Because there were some exclusive decorations for nobles on the carriage, but there was no family crest of the nobility on the door, which generally meant that the carriage belonged to a baron or a lord.

But generally, a baron or lord who inherited the title would not have the financial resources to decorate their carriage so luxuriously.

So Audis guessed that the other party should be a wealthy man with the ability to buy a title.

While he was thinking wildly, he went around the carriage to the door of his house.

At this moment, the door opened, and a man dressed as a servant asked, "Are you the wizard Gandalf?"

Audis didn't even turn his head and said while opening the door, "Yes."

The servant said again, "Sir, please come to the carriage to talk."

Audis opened the door and still didn't turn his head: "If you want to talk, come here to talk."

As he spoke, he entered the door and put the cloth bag containing the "Helmet of Wisdom" on the shelf.

The "Sir" outside also got out of the carriage and entered the door with his personal servant. He was a man in his forties, a little fat, with a small beard, a smiling face, and very shrewd eyes.

Audis invited him to sit down: "Sorry, I don't have tea or coffee here, and you definitely won't be used to my drinks."

The Sir smiled and said, "I didn't come here for tea."

Audis glanced at the fireplace. He waved his hand and sprinkled a small handful of transparent powder. A gust of wind blew, just blowing the firewood into the fireplace.

This operation stunned the servant behind the Sir, and the Sir was also a little surprised, but he was a man of the world and easily hid his surprise in his heart.

"Tell me, what's the matter for looking for me?" Audis said, while casually sprinkling another small handful of powder.

Whoosh~

The fireplace immediately lit itself.

This operation made the Sir, who originally looked very casual, lean forward, looking somewhat nervous.

He cleared his throat to cover up his emotions before introducing himself: "I am Brad Rick, you can call me Brad, or you can call me Lord Rick."

"I came to you because I have a private matter that I don't know how to deal with, and I want to hear your advice."

Audis nodded: "Speak."

"I bought a manor in the suburbs last year," Brad recounted, "The main body of the manor is a small castle built during the 'Twenty Years' War'.

"It was once the property of the prominent Frank family, but in the last one or two hundred years, this family has declined. Now the Frank family only has the title of viscount."

"The scenery there is very good, and it's close to the mountains, and hunting is also very convenient. It's a very good manor."

"It was also by the lake there that I met the beautiful Eleanor Frank. She is a gentle and beautiful girl, with elegant conversation and a wide range of hobbies."

"We often chatted on the grass and by the lake, and we would chat for an afternoon."

Speaking of this, Brad still looked affectionate, but the following description made his expression more and more serious: "I asked Miss Eleanor about the details of her family and learned that there was a branch of the Frank family living across the mountain, in a small village.

"I talked to a friend about that village, but the friend heard that the village had been destroyed in a fire twenty years ago, and it was said that there were no survivors.

"I felt incredible, so I sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, I saw a burned-down village on the other side of the mountain, and it seemed that there were no villages around it.

"But when I went to the castle again a few days ago, I met Miss Eleanor again and asked her about this question.

"She told me that she didn't live in the burned-down village. Under her guidance, I looked at the village where she lived from a distance.

"There is a small village there, and you can see some villagers moving around.

"But, I swear, there was no village there before!"

Speaking of this, Brad could no longer hide his nervous emotions.

He took a deep breath and continued: "Mr. Wizard, what should I do now?"

Audis pondered for a moment before saying, "What is your faith?"

"The Goddess of the Night."

"Then go to St. Samuel's Church and tell the priest there in the form of confession." Audis said seriously: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have encountered some abnormal events."

This is the responsibility of the orthodox church, and he doesn't intend to steal business from the orthodox church.

Brad was a little embarrassed: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but... but when I think of the beautiful Miss Eleanor, I feel that if my misjudgment affects her reputation, it would be a pity.

"So I hope you can help me investigate and determine whether to report it to the orthodox church."

Audis understood what the other party meant. Overall, it meant: he still had lustful thoughts and wanted to struggle one last time, so he asked a professional to investigate Miss Eleanor. If it was only to determine that it was strange but not dangerous, he didn't plan to tell the church.

And such professionals were not easy to find. After Brad inquired in many ways, he found Audis.

Audis was about to refuse, but then he thought about it. It would be a waste not to earn the money of such a person: "Your description is very interesting. I can help you make a judgment, but I have to go to the site to take a look."

That Miss Eleanor definitely has a problem. No matter what he finds there, Audis plans to inform the "Heart of Machinery" after returning.

Brad smiled: "That's really great."

He paused and said: "I plan to go to the manor today. Why don't we take the carriage together?"

Audis thought for a moment before nodding: "Okay, you go to the carriage and wait for me first. I'll prepare."

"We may have to stay there overnight." Brad said: "Please make the corresponding preparations."

Audis "hmm"ed.

After Brad took his personal servant out, Audis took some powder used for witchcraft, and then sorted out the extraordinary weapons and sealed items in the "space magic circle", so that he could take them out in critical moments.

After packing everything up, Audis hung a "out" sign on the door and got into Brad's carriage.

The coachman pulled the reins, and the luxurious and spacious carriage drove towards the western suburbs.

On the carriage, Brad was somewhat nervous facing this wizard, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Mr. Wizard, please don't hurt Miss Eleanor before the investigation concludes."

Audis thought to himself: These rich people really like to find excitement, or is this guy already bewitched by some ability of that Eleanor?

He casually agreed: "Okay."

Then Audis asked: "Do you know how the Frank family declined?"

"I heard that the king no longer trusted them." Brad said: "At the same time, the heir of that family did not catch up with the trend of the times and did not complete some emerging investments when there were still certain assets.

"Later, they could only rely on the income from the land to support the entire family. After several generations of continuous squandering, they finally began to sell assets and completely declined twenty or thirty years ago."

Audis nodded: "It's better for me to find someone to ask."

"Who?" Brad was slightly stunned: "Should the carriage go somewhere else first?"

"No need." Audis smiled mysteriously: "I can ask here, but I need your help."

Brad was stunned: "My help?"

"Keep imagining Miss Eleanor's appearance and the feeling she gives you in your mind." Audis stretched out his left hand: "Put your hand on my hand, okay, start imagining."

Brad was both curious and afraid of the wizard Gandalf's "witchcraft". He slowly reached out and put his hand on "Gandalf's" palm. Fortunately, the wizard's hand was still warm, not cold.

Just as "Gandalf" chanted a few spells, suddenly his temperament changed suddenly, becoming gloomy and terrifying!

Brad's personal servant moved to the side, he suddenly had the idea of resigning!

Suddenly, "Gandalf" grabbed Brad's hand and squeezed it hard. Brad tried to pull it back, but it seemed to be clamped by a large pliers. He used all his strength, but he couldn't pull it back at all.

At the same time, a ghostly green fire appeared in the other hand of the wizard Gandalf. This ghostly fire seemed to have no temperature, making Brad feel a chill in the back of his head. Under the fear, he forgot to struggle.

Brad's personal servant had already moved to the car door, ready to jump out of the car at any time.

After the ghostly fire burned for more than ten seconds, "Gandalf" seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The ghostly fire went out, and he slowly let go of Brad's hand.

Immediately afterwards, "Gandalf's" temperament became peaceful again.

This was of course another set of performances. He had often rubbed ghost fire during this period, and he had gained experience.

Audis looked at Brad and said, "I just summoned the undead of the Frank family..."

Brad rubbed his hand and said in surprise, "Ah?"

Audis smiled: "Through Miss Eleanor in your mind, you can summon the corresponding undead."

Brad quickly said: "You are really a powerful wizard."

His personal servant also breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the terrifying expression of the wizard Gandalf just now, this was not an unacceptable thing.

Audis waved his hand and continued: "The Frank family was abandoned by the royal family and nobles because they were too closely related to some evil extraordinary people."

He believed that Sir Rick in front of him should know what an Extraordinary was.

Odyss primarily hoped to use the performance just now to make Brad believe his words, because this was a definite piece of information obtained by the 'Nanmu Ballroom' a long time ago.

This news surprised Brad somewhat, and his last bit of wishful thinking was probably shattered.

Odyss added, "From now on, you must listen to my orders. If you do, I can at least guarantee your safety."

This was another purpose of the play he put on just now.
