Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#163 - Odysseus is heartbroken
It wasn't that Danesey, the Action Section Chief of "Military Intelligence Section 9," had an unsightly demeanor while eating; it was simply that this operation yielded little gain!
Originally, they had set up an encirclement around Hugh's residence, but Audis led the enemy to the park.
Danesey had limited manpower at the time, and by the time they chased to the park, the "Conspirator" had already issued a retreat order.
"Military Intelligence Section 9" had no choice but to brace themselves for battle, resulting in the death of several "Low-Sequence" members, while only capturing four enemies.
These four enemies were the same four "Low-Sequence" Beyonders who had been rendered incapable of fighting by Audis's electric shock in the lake earlier.
Although both the "Conspirator" and the "Psychic" were injured, they ultimately failed to capture them.
While Danesey was organizing his men to pursue, he heard a report from his subordinates that "Leader" and the other two had killed five enemies.
With these five enemies, Danesey could at least complete his mission, which is why he came to "Leader" to ask for the Beyonder characteristics.
Audis chuckled: "You think your report can convict me."
Danesey still wore a smile: "My report is the truth."
Audis shook his head and looked towards the distant street: "Look, isn't that the carriage of 'Mechanical Heart'?"
Danesey and the others looked over. There was no moon tonight, and the streetlights were not bright. They could only see that there was indeed a carriage coming slowly, but they couldn't tell if it was the carriage of "Mechanical Heart."
However, Danesey was, after all, a man who had weathered storms. He realized that since "Leader" said so, it should be the carriage of "Mechanical Heart."
This surprised him somewhat. The reason he dared to threaten "Leader" so much just now was mainly because "Leader" was just an informant for "Mechanical Heart."
Although Danesey had heard that "Leader" was even protected by Archbishop Horamick Haydn, he was ultimately not a formal member. It should be no problem to snatch a few Beyonder characteristics from him.
But the appearance of "Mechanical Heart" here was enough to prove the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery's emphasis on "Leader," far exceeding that of formal members.
Soon, the carriage arrived, and the emblem of "Mechanical Holy Emblem" was indeed on the door.
Hugh and Forsi both breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when faced with the threat of "Military Intelligence Section 9," they immediately had the idea of compromise.
After all, "Military Intelligence Section 9" had a bad reputation in Backlund's Beyonder world. The wild Beyonders who were caught by them ended up in miserable conditions.
At the same time, they once again marveled at how wide "Leader's" network was. Hugh had heard more than once that "Leader" had an official Beyonder background, but today Hugh realized how deep that background was.
The car door opened, and Max stepped out of the car smiling and said, "Congratulations, Section Chief Danesey. This battle must have been very rewarding."
Danesey's smile was somewhat unnatural: "Not bad, not bad."
Then he asked: "Why are you here?"
"Of course, to watch the battle." Max smiled and said: "After all, thanks to 'Military Intelligence Section 9's' plan, our informant was also able to participate in the war.
"But this is, after all, a case under the responsibility of 'Military Intelligence Section 9.' We can only watch from a distance and protect our informant."
Max's sarcasm did not make the smile on Danesey's face disappear. He was still very polite and said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Max was slightly taken aback, not expecting this guy to be so tolerant, so he simply asked Audis: "You seem to have seized some Beyonder characteristics?"
Audis smiled and said: "I was just planning to sell them to you."
For him, these two Beyonder characteristics were useless. It would be better to sell them to "Mechanical Heart" for pounds, so as to prevent Danesey and the others from thinking about them.
Seeing that "Mechanical Heart" was going to buy those characteristics, Danesey sighed, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he continued to organize his men to pursue the two escaped "Middle-Sequence" Beyonders.
Audis took out the two Beyonder characteristics he had been allocated, and Max looked at them and said: "1600 pounds!"
A Sequence 7 characteristic plus a Sequence 8 characteristic, the market price is generally 1800 pounds.
However, tonight Audis invited "Mechanical Heart" to back him up, and of course they couldn't help for nothing. That 200 pounds was considered their fee for driving away Danesey.
"Okay." Audis certainly understood this, so he agreed immediately.
He thought to himself: Spending 1,000 pounds and earning 1,600, he still made a profit.
Moreover, he only used about one-fifth of the Beyonder weapons he made today.
Audis said to Hugh and Forsi: "If you don't have a good way, you can also sell these Beyonder characteristics to Captain Max."
The characteristics seized tonight are all "hot potatoes."
Of course, Hugh and Forsi had no objections. The Beyonder characteristics they sold were also slightly lower than the market price. Hugh got 850 pounds, and Forsi got 270 pounds.
For them, this was already very satisfying. Not only was the crisis resolved, but they also made so much money.
Especially Hugh, who could not only pay off Forsi's money, but also prepare to buy the "Interrogator" potion formula.
According to convention, the Beyonder characteristics were given to Max first, and he would send the money to Audis tomorrow.
After Max also left, Forsi pointed to the five corpses: "What should be done with them?"
"We don't need to worry about it." Audis said: "Let's go back and leave this place to 'Military Intelligence Section 9'."
The three of them slowly returned to 26 Tuthill Street. At this time, Hugh and Forsi still felt a little unreal. They didn't expect the problem to be solved like this.
Back at the residence, after seeing the mess in the house, Forsi sighed: "We have to move again."
But Audis smiled and said: "Actually, you are no longer in any danger. After this operation by the foreign spy organization fails, they will not come to retaliate."
While speaking, Audis sprinkled a handful of colorful powder, which emitted a faint colorful light in the dark room. All the broken glass seemed to have come to life and was attracted to the colorful light, forming a ball.
Without the trouble of broken glass, the three of them could sit down at the dining room and talk.
Hugh asked a little worriedly: "Are we really safe?"
Audis smiled: "Today's battle was just an action by this spy organization to attract the attention of 'Military Intelligence Section 9'.
"Judging from the personnel of 'Military Intelligence Section 9', their main force is not here either.
"Well, how should I put it, we are not the protagonists of this battle. Except for that 'Arsonist', no one is so eager to kill us.
"And the only 'Arsonist' who wanted us to die has also been killed by us, so there is no need to worry about their revenge in the future."
Forsi took a deep breath: "That's good."
While speaking, she took out the metal crossbow that "Leader" gave her and returned it to "Leader."
Hugh also returned the revolver, bullets, and the remaining "Ice Bomb" to "Leader."
Audis picked up the metal crossbow and pistol, but pushed the "Ice Bomb" back to Hugh again: "Keep this for self-defense."
This is considered an employee benefit.
"Thank you." Hugh did not decline, because this kind of Beyonder weapon is really useful and can save lives at critical moments.
Audis said to Hugh: "I suggest you continue to be an informant for 'Military Intelligence Section 9' and accumulate merit from them to obtain potion formulas.
"As for the main ingredients of the potion or Beyonder characteristics, I can help you pay attention. If you have clues but lack money, I can also lend it to you first."
He remembered that the masked man was a former subordinate of Hugh's father and would take care of Hugh within his ability.
Hugh said again: "Thank you."
Now it seems that joining "Leader" is a good choice.
"Get promoted as soon as possible." Audis got up and said: "In this world, becoming stronger is the most important thing."
After saying that, he bid farewell to the two ladies, left quickly, and disappeared into the night.
One mistake, one first, one hair, one content, one look, one look!
Watching "Leader" leave, Forsi said: "'Leader' looks very reliable, which makes me want to be loyal to 'Leader'."
Hugh smiled and said: "Why didn't you say it just now? Maybe 'Leader's' family is short of a maid?"
While talking and laughing, the two of them simply cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Although the windows and doors were destroyed and the room was very cold, if they stayed in a hotel, this place would definitely be visited by more than one group of thieves. When they came back tomorrow, all the valuable things in the room would disappear.
Hugh returned to her room. Thinking that "Leader" had just rested on her bed not long ago, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
… …
Audis left quickly, and after arriving on a wider street, he took a taxi back to 199 Hairun Avenue.
Then he left through the basement here, and at 77 Hilton Avenue, two streets away, he transformed into the herbalist Audis.
At this time, there were few pedestrians on the road. Audis walked a long way before finally finding a taxi.
Taking a taxi back to 77 Hairin Avenue, Audis planned to rest here for the night.
When he got home, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. Audis washed up and just lay down on the bed, planning to rest quickly, when he suddenly saw a phrase appearing on the ceiling: I'm here.
Audis yawned and sat up helplessly: "What important things are there so late?"
If there is nothing important, I want to sleep!
"I witnessed the ambush of the Loen royal family in the western suburbs of Backlund." Bernadette said: "I also know a lot of important information."
She briefly described what Gehrman Sparrow had said to Qikoff, and concluded, "Just as I predicted before, you were also involved in this matter, but the battlefield you experienced was not the main one.
"My other prediction has also come true. The royal family is brewing a huge conspiracy.
"The Fursac Empire hoped to sabotage the other party's plan, but instead, they were used by the Loen royal family for their actions. In this battle of wisdom and intelligence, the Fursac Empire is completely at a disadvantage."
When Audris heard the two demigods' description of "important buildings," he knew they must be talking about George III's mausoleum.
Only then did he recall: No wonder the Fursac Empire didn't send anyone to sabotage when George III advanced to "Black Emperor" later. It turned out that the Loen royal family had used some traps in advance to give the Fursac Empire the wrong information. In the end, the people they sent should have found nothing.
In Audris's view, other countries, through some clues in the intelligence and the analysis of high-sequence Beyonders, could probably learn about the Loen royal family's plans in the past two years.
Even if other countries didn't care about this matter, the Fursac Empire must have been paying close attention to George III's actions and taking some sabotage actions.
After all, the two countries have always been in a state of hostility. In the Southern Continent, the colonial troops of both sides often clashed, and warships occasionally confronted each other at sea.
But at this time, the information about George III becoming a god could not be told to Bernadette. Audris pondered for a moment before saying, "The Fursac people are looking for a special building. What special function would that building have?"
Bernadette seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "It is said that some special buildings have a certain symbolic meaning, such as making one's army have stronger combat power, or strengthening the people's loyalty to the king."
Without waiting for Audris to participate in the discussion, she added, "But what the Fursac people are looking for, and what the Loen royal family wants to hide, is definitely not such a building, but…"
"But something that is enough to affect the current situation between Loen and Fursac, and even affect the entire world situation."
Audris thought to himself: Your guess is in the right direction.
He thought for a while and then said, "I suggest not to continue investigating. No matter what Loen wants to do, we have discovered the danger, and we should escape from Loen as soon as possible.
"But if we continue to investigate, the risk is very high. I heard that the Loen royal family also has angels."
Bernadette paused again before saying, "You can leave, but I want to stay and observe further."
She predicted that a high-level disaster would occur in Backlund. If she could stop all of this, she would have the opportunity to advance.
When Audris heard Bernadette say this, fearing that she would be in danger if she investigated too deeply, he said again, "Then can we change our approach?
"Since that 'special building' has no clues, we can analyze the actions of the Fursac people to see if we can find corresponding clues.
"I just heard you say that one of the clues is that the Fursac people once issued a mission in Backlund to find missing vagrants.
"Coincidentally, several members of the Mysticism Research Society have received this commission, and one of the members investigated the trafficker, Capim.
"Later, judging from the Beyonders sent by the 'MI9' from Capim, it is likely that the royal family needs those vagrants."
Bernadette immediately said, "This idea is very good!"
Then she asked, "What does the royal family need so many vagrants for? Do they need a large number of lives for some kind of sacrifice?"
Audris certainly couldn't answer this question. He said, "I think we can start with the missing vagrants, and maybe we can find some useful information."
The royal family is doing this very carefully. It is estimated that by the time Bernadette finds some clues, the war will be about to begin, and the clues she has investigated will be interrupted as a result.
This can effectively avoid finding out the purpose of George III when the time is not ripe.
