Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Noticing the arrival of people from the "Rose School," Audiss picked up Rupert's hat from the table: "We drank so much last night. If you're sleepy, get some rest."

Rupert readily yawned, took the hat, covered his eyes, obscuring half his face, and leaned back in his seat, pretending to "sleep."

Soon, the train started moving again. Audiss and Bazel sensed they were being watched, but they didn't panic and continued chatting and laughing.

At the same time, Audiss took out the dried fish he'd bought locally. The two of them ate while discussing how, if they had money, they would definitely buy an estate here.

They completely fooled the "Rose School" people. Soon, the feeling of being watched disappeared.

After a few more minutes, Audiss quietly observed the new passengers and quickly locked onto his targets.

Remember the first website domain name 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

They were three men in trench coats. Their attire wasn't the problem, but their trench coats were.

The passengers in this car were either going to work inside Blue Mountain Island, or they were there on business.

Because Byam is hot all year round, laborers wouldn't spend money on trench coats they rarely wear, while the latter were mostly dressed in suits and didn't need trench coats.

As for why the "Rose School" people would wear trench coats, Audiss knew very well. First, trench coats are convenient for fighting and can naturally carry some spiritually infused items.

Second, they might spend the night in the wild, and trench coats can keep them warm and protect them from mosquitoes. They can just wrap themselves up and fall asleep.

Audiss noticed that the three men took out a map after getting on the train and were whispering about something.

He pondered for a moment, took out a cigarette, got up, offered it to the train police, and then chatted with them about the rebels.

This wasn't abrupt, because since entering the plains, many passengers had started talking to the train police about the rebels.

And the train police also liked to boast at this time, so it was normal to chat about it now.

Audiss's chatting position was not far from the three "Rose School" members. While chatting with the train police, he was also eavesdropping on their conversation.

At the next stop, the three "Rose School" members got off the train. Audiss chatted with the train police for a while before returning to his seat.

At the second stop, some more passengers got on, one of whom, a teenager, gave the police chief a pack of cigarettes as soon as he got on the train, and then began to peddle local specialties, as well as tobacco and alcohol, to the passengers.

Audiss spent 6 pence to buy some nuts from him, witnessed the three "Rose School" members leaving the station, and waited until the train started again before Audiss whispered: "They are looking for someone at a nearby estate."

Bazel was stunned: "Could it be... could it be looking for the farmer Blair?"

"I guess so." Audiss said: "Maybe our destination isn't Takal after all."

Rupert stopped pretending to sleep at this time, he picked up his hat and put it on his head: "What do we do now?"

Audiss pondered for a moment before beckoning to the teenager who had just been peddling local specialties: "Bring three bottles of wine."

Bazel was about to remind the captain that the things this teenager was selling were several times more expensive than in Byam.

But then he thought about it. The captain had just bought nuts, so he couldn't have failed to notice this. Then, his buying things again must have a purpose.

This teenager was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with dark skin, and was a local. He didn't expect to encounter such a big deal, and quickly took out three unlabeled bottles of Fenny wine from his pocket: "3 pounds."

Fenny wine is considered a relatively cheap wine locally. In Byam, three bottles might not even cost 15 Solas.

But Audiss took out the money without hesitation, but didn't give it to the teenager immediately, but said: "I want to know what major events have happened in Takal recently."

The reason why Audiss bought this teenager's nuts just now was because he could see that, in addition to peddling local specialties, tobacco, and alcohol, this teenager was also a small-time information peddler.

This could be seen from the fact that he would patiently listen to customers' conversations and would take the initiative to inquire about interesting things in Byam, and so on.

However, this teenager's business skills were very average, and from his clothes, his life was very difficult.

Of course, the other party's poverty was also related to being controlled by the local thugs.

This reminded Audiss of his own inexperience when he first started working in intelligence. Buying some nuts was just to take care of the teenager's business.

The teenager immediately said: "Three days ago, in the east of Takal, a family was brutally murdered."

"It is said that they were tortured for a long time before they died. The women were raped in turn, and the men's ribs were pulled out one by one while they were still alive."

"The strange thing is that the surrounding neighbors didn't hear any screams."

Audiss shook his head: "This is not what I want to know."

The teenager continued: "The Takal police chief has just solved a major case, killing several criminals."

"Some time ago, Takal's wealthiest manor was looted. After hearing about this, the police chief disguised himself as a jeweler and quickly lured out the robbers."

"The police chief offered them a price that satisfied them. During the transaction, the bandits were poisoned by the police chief and all died."

Audiss smiled: "This is not what I need either."

The teenager suspiciously looked at Audiss and the other two again, as if worried about whether Audiss would pay. He hesitated for a moment and said: "A few days ago, the slave trader Duke was attacked by the rebels while selling slaves in the countryside."

"He was killed on the spot, and his slaves were snatched away by the rebels."

Rupert sat up straight: "I knew it."

He knew that his spiritual sense felt that traveling by train was better.

Audiss gave the teenager the 3-pound note: "Your eyesight still needs training, otherwise you wouldn't have given me two pieces of information for free."

The teenager didn't care much about Audiss's words and immediately bowed: "Thank you, sir!"

Just as the teenager was leaving, Audiss said to Bazel: "When you have time, go kill the Takal police chief. You should be able to get a lot of bounty."

Bazel was stunned, thinking he had misheard: "Police... police chief?"

The teenager who had just left immediately stopped, thinking that this gentleman in a suit was joking.

"Yes, the police chief." Audiss said: "He should be a criminal and have a bounty on his head. Fearing being targeted by bounty hunters in Byam, he disguised himself and went to Takal."

"And those bandits already knew him and took the initiative to contact him, inviting him to participate in the operation together."

"But because of the uneven distribution of spoils, he was poisoned by the police chief. Because the bandits are all dead, the property was definitely not fully recovered."

Rupert was dumbfounded: "This... this sounds like an absurd novel from the Southern Continent!"

In recent years, novels with extremely absurd plots have become popular in the Southern Continent. Such novels are very popular among the lower classes of the Northern Continent and have a large market in various countries of the Northern Continent.

Audiss smiled: "Then let me ask you, if you looted a manor, would you dispose of the stolen goods on the spot? Would you easily trust a jeweler in a small town?"

"This..." After being said this by Audiss, Rupert also found the unreasonable parts in the description of the police chief just now.

But because the police chief did catch the criminals, the first thing people thought of after hearing about this was that the police chief was very capable.

At this time, Bazel said: "Captain... Mr. Gal's guess is very reasonable. In Takal, because there are many desperadoes hiding, no police officer wants to go there."

"So the police chief has always been elected by the residents of the town. Whoever looks stronger can be elected."

"Locals, rebels, priests from the town, wanted criminals, etc., have all been police chiefs there."

For Bazel, he trusted "Captain Gal's" intelligence analysis ability very much.

Rupert sighed and said to Audiss: "I think I know why you dare to hold intelligence exchange meetings in Byam."

At this time, the teenager just now asked Audiss excitedly: "Are you 'Captain'?"

The teenager's words made several people turn their heads or look back at Audiss.

Audiss was also stunned: "You know me?"

"I... I've heard of you... You've beaten people who sell fake intelligence." The teenager said excitedly, somewhat incoherently.

Audiss smiled and nodded: "Your news is still quite well-informed."

The teenager thought of the reminder when "Captain" gave the money just now, and immediately said: "I... I will seriously train my eyesight."

Audiss just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

After the teenager left, somewhat excitedly, Audiss casually scattered a small handful of powder, and the surrounding voices immediately became quieter.

This was a witchcraft invented by Audiss, which could make the conversations in a certain area less likely to be discovered within a few minutes.

Only then did he whisper: "Now let's talk about our problems."

"The 'Rose School' has obviously also received the news of Duke's death. They guess that the farmer named Blair should have been sold to other farms by the rebels, so they have been sending people to look for him everywhere these days."

"In addition, we really can't go to Takal anymore, because not all the 'Rose School' people are looking for Blair. Some people are still guarding there. We might be targeted as soon as we get off the train."

Rupert was slightly stunned after hearing Audiss say this so surely before asking: "Did you... Did you get the information in advance?"

"I heard it from the teenager just now." Audiss said: "The massacre in Takal must have been done by the 'Rose School' people."

“Among the culprits involved in that tragedy, there should be powerful Beyonders; otherwise, people nearby would have heard cries for help.”

At this point, Rupert was truly convinced: “So, what should we do now?”

Audis pondered for a moment and asked Bazel: “Where can we contact the Resistance?”

Bazel thought for a while: “Get off two stops later. There's a fishmonger there who works for the Resistance.

“I’ll go and discuss it with him, see if I can contact the Resistance through him.”

Audis nodded, then said: “Let's contact the Resistance first. Finding out Blair's whereabouts from them is the quickest way.”

Bazel and Rupert slowly nodded, feeling that what the captain said made a lot of sense.

At this moment, Rupert was completely convinced by Audis and sincerely wanted to join Audis's pirate crew.

As Audis's "witchcraft" disappeared, the surrounding conversations returned to normal.

The three of them stopped talking about serious matters and started chatting idly.

The train moved forward, entering the rainforest again, and the train guards became nervous again.

Of course, Audis couldn't waste the wine he had just bought. He opened a bottle and tasted it. The taste was not bad, so they ate dried fish, chatted about the interesting things on Blue Mountain Island, and drank some wine.

Bang ~

Suddenly, gunshots rang out from the carriage behind.

Audis and Bazel, who were sitting by the window, quickly stuck their heads out to take a look. It turned out that some locals had jumped onto the train and were throwing supplies off it.

The train guards who had just fired the shots saw that those people didn't seem to be carrying weapons and shouldn't be from the Resistance, so they boldly shot at them.

Bang bang bang ~

The train guards obviously didn't expect that those locals would immediately take out guns and start fighting back.

Only then did the train guards realize that these people were from the Resistance, but instead of directly attacking the train, they were robbing the supplies on the train.

Audis thought to himself: Did "Sea God" show you guys 'Railway Guerrilla'?

As the enemy fought back, the train guards immediately looked for cover and fired randomly. As far as they were concerned, as long as the other party didn't want to rob the train or blow up the railway, they didn't need to risk their lives.

At this time, Rupert, hearing the commotion outside, also stuck his head out to watch. He only took one look before pointing to one of the Resistance members and saying: “Blair! Blair Colin!”

Audis was stunned: “Are you sure?!”

Rupert immediately said: “I would recognize him even if he were burned to ashes!”

Audis looked in the direction pointed by the other party's finger. It was a local man in his forties, with dark skin, who looked very honest.

But what he was doing was not honest at all. He suddenly threw a large bundle of cloth down and gave the train guards an honest smile.

At this time, a whistle sounded in the rainforest, and the Resistance members quickly began to jump off the train, and soon all of them had retreated.

Audis smiled and said: “It seems that Thursday is really the best time for action, and it makes sense to look for people by taking transportation! Let's go, let's jump off the train!”

While the people in the carriage were still discussing the Resistance, Audis and the other two had already jumped off the train amidst the exclamations of the train guards.

At this time, the Resistance members were moving the supplies away from the railway, and they had to hide them all in the rainforest before the next train arrived.

At this time, they saw three Loen people walking quickly towards them, so they immediately raised their guns.

Audis smiled and said: “We have no malice, we are just here to find someone!”

“Hands up!” The leader of the Resistance ordered.

Audis raised his hands: “I know people from the Church of the Sea God and have provided them with some convenience.”

Bazel and Rupert also reluctantly raised their hands.

In their opinion, the three of them could completely kill this group of people without leaving any clues.

The leader of the Resistance heard what Audis said, waved his hand at everyone, and told everyone not to shoot for the time being, and then sent three people to search them.

The one who searched Audis was a thin Resistance member. Audis also cooperated very well, letting the other party search from bottom to top.

When the Resistance member searched Audis's leather bag, Audis suddenly pressed the other party's hand: “There are no guns inside.”

As he spoke, he opened the leather bag. The other party saw that there were only some paper rolls inside, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Continuing the search, when he searched Audis's upper body, he felt Audis's wallet.

The Resistance member smiled slightly, took out Audis's wallet, and prepared to take it for himself.

Audis reached out and pinched the other party's wrist, twisted it hard, and the other party's wrist was easily broken.

The other party's scream of pain immediately made the situation tense. The Resistance members raised their guns at Audis and the others again.

Audis took the wallet from the already broken hand of the Resistance member unhurriedly: “For the sake of the 'Sea God', I won't kill you.”

Then, while putting away the wallet, Audis said to the other party's leader: “Don't take my tolerance as weakness.

“We will leave after chatting with Blair Colin for a few words. Of course, you can also try to stop us.”

The leader of the Resistance stared at Audis for a few seconds before saying to Blair behind him: “Go and ask them why they are looking for you.”

Blair, who looked honest, nodded and said: “Okay.”

At this time, Audis said to Rupert: “We have found the person, what should we do next?”

Rupert suddenly looked confused: “I… I don't know either.”

“Ah?” Audis even had the idea of ​​beating this guy.

At this time, Blair, who came over, seemed to suddenly remember something. He pointed at Rupert: “I remember, you are Ryan's student!”

Rupert carefully looked at the honest-looking farmer in front of him: “Yes, I… where have we met?”

He only had Blair's portrait, and he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had met this person.

“I used to run a small restaurant by the sea. Ryan often came to my place to eat, and once brought you here.” Blair said.

Rupert asked in confusion: “Then why… why did you become a slave again?”

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one in, one look!

Blair sighed: “My restaurant business was too good, and a Loen person took a fancy to it. He offered a very low price, but I didn't accept it.

“So he colluded with the police and framed me, and as a result, I was imprisoned.

“Ryan bailed me out, but I had nothing left, so I could only sell myself.”

Rupert nodded. It was indeed the case, and the teacher also said that he liked to eat the grilled fish in that restaurant.

Rupert thought for a while and then asked: “Do you have any news about my teacher?”

“No.” Blair said: “But I do know the whereabouts of another student of Ryan. She seems to be injured and is hiding in a manor not far from Taker.”

He explained: “Before, I was bought by the human trafficker Duke. The first manor he took us to was there.

“But that student was also secretly hiding in the manor and couldn't save me.

“That… that is Willby Manor, just east of Taker.”

Rupert immediately clapped his hands and said: “I know.”

Then he asked: “Do you need help?”

“No need.” Blair said: “I want to join the Resistance. I want to show those Loen people some color.”

Rupert nodded and said nothing more.

Audis waved to the leader of the Resistance and led Bazel and Rupert away.

Because Audis was not familiar with Taker and did not dare to use "Travel" at will.

Although the premonition of spirituality will not lead to things like directly appearing in front of the enemy, if the place where it appears is seen by the enemy's eyeliner, it will be a loss.

After walking a distance, Bazel whispered: “I know where Willby Manor is. We can buy train tickets at the station ahead and continue to go there by train.

“Since there may be people from the 'Rose School' at Kada Station, we might as well not get off the train, take the train directly through Taker to the next station, or simply jump off the train.”

Audis smiled and said: “We actually don't need to buy train tickets. We'll just get on the train when it comes.

“And it's safer to hide in the freight car, after all, the passenger car is so big, you can see from head to tail at a glance.”

Bazel was stunned for a moment before nodding: “Okay, then when we reach the location, we can just jump off the train, so as not to attract their attention.”

Audis nodded: “Okay.”

He glanced at Rupert: “Why don't you say anything?”

“I just feel that things seem to be going too smoothly so far.” Rupert frowned.

Audis smiled and said: “Since your teacher's teacher chose Thursday, haven't we been very smooth?”

“Good luck will run out.” Rupert explained: “Or rather, it is impossible to solve problems completely because of good luck.

“And the date designated by the teacher's teacher is just that our good luck will be a little more on this day, and it will be easier to solve the problem.”

Audis probably understood: “That is to say, no matter how smoothly we are going now, the difficulties that should be there are still waiting for us ahead.”

This theory can also be replaced by numbers. For example, the difficulty to be solved is “10”. Normally, the probability of solving this matter smoothly is 5, and the obstacle to solving the problem is also 5.

So before the problem is solved, whether it can be completely solved is fifty-fifty.

But on the day designated by Rupert's teacher's teacher, the probability of solving the problem smoothly will be 6, and the obstacle to solving the problem will be 4.

However, the problem is still there. It is not said that it does not need to be solved, but that the obstacle is a little less, and the problem can be solved more smoothly.

Of course, this also involves the difficulty of the problem. For example, if the problem Audiss and the others face involves a demigod, then even if the obstacle is only "4", or even only "1", they will definitely find it difficult to solve the problem.

Rupert reminded the captain and Bazel at this time, mainly because he was afraid that they would be too optimistic.

After all, so far, everything they have encountered has been relatively smooth, and they found Blair with almost no obstacles.

Audiss thought for a while before saying, "That classmate of yours... Well, that is, another student of your teacher, can you guess who it is?"

"I can probably guess," Rupert said, "That should be Leanna."

"Sequence what?"

"Sequence 6."

Audiss asked again, "Could your teacher also be in Tarkar?"

"It's hard to say."

Audiss walked ahead, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Didn't your teacher remind you what the purpose of this operation is?"

"It should be to provide him with some help," Rupert said, "Or something else related to him."

"But I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to do, or rather, he himself isn't sure.

"The teacher once said that his spirituality can only sense that someone can help him through difficulties at a critical moment.

"For example, this Blair, it is not necessarily Blair who saves the teacher, but in such a tortuous and secretive way, guides us to the teacher's location, and then we can avoid being discovered by the enemy and quietly save him.

"But before that, he is not very clear about what Blair can help with."

Of course, Rupert's teacher Ryan's extraordinary abilities cannot be easily told to strangers. At this time, Rupert said this because he completely trusted Audiss, so he no longer concealed anything from Audiss and Bazel.

Audiss "hmm"ed and said, "That is to say, this matter already involves a Sequence 5 and a Sequence 6.

"Then the enemy will most likely send two Sequence 5s, and there will also be several Sequence 6s and Sequence 7s as helpers, as well as many 'low sequence' extraordinaries, doing things like finding people and tailing."

Rupert smiled wryly, "It should be like this."

It was precisely because there was a probability of encountering enemies at the Sequence 5 level that he thought of finding helpers.

Audiss scratched his head: "Then what we have to do next is to never attract the attention of the other party.

"Rather miss it than take the risk.

"After finding your teacher, I will immediately use the ability of 'Travel' to take them away, and then come back to pick you up.

"Don't contact the enemy, just take people away silently."

Rupert smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

Whoosh~

Just then, the three of them heard a whistle coming from behind.

Audiss made a gesture, and the three of them hid in the woods together.

A steam locomotive roared past on the railway.

After the train passed, Audiss and the others began to climb onto the train and entered a freight car with only half a car of cargo.

After closing the car door, Audiss smiled and said, "If the rebels come to rob supplies again, we won't open the car door for them!"

The three smiled at each other, as if they saw the rebels trying hard to pull the car door open, but they couldn't open it no matter what.

Audiss simply checked. The goods in the car were boxes of daily necessities. He sat on one of the boxes and said, "Take a rest and stay in good condition."

The three of them each found a comfortable position to rest, and stopped talking. Only the occasional whistle accompanied their journey.

When the train entered the station for the third time, Bazel said, "We have arrived at Tarkar Station."

In order to prevent anyone from unloading goods from this car, the three quickly hid behind the wooden boxes.

The door of the freight car was never opened, which means that there was no need to unload goods at this station, but someone obviously wandered in front of the car door for a while before leaving.

Obviously, there were indeed people from the "Rose School" tailing at the station, but they didn't pay much attention to the situation in the freight car, they just simply observed it and left.

The train started again and quickly left the station.

After leaving for a while, Bazel leaned on the car door and looked for a while, and suddenly said, "The view here is limited, let's jump from here."

The car door was opened, and the three extraordinaries agilely jumped off the train.

Outside was a sparse forest, and it was easy to hide their tracks.

It only took them a few minutes to cross the forest.

In front of them was a scene of trees and farmland interspersed. Many tenant farmers were farming in the fields. If they went out like this, they would definitely be discovered by them.

Bazel suggested waiting until noon when people went to rest before passing through here.

But the problem is that there are so many people in the field, it is impossible for them all to rest.

Audiss smiled and said, "No need to be so troublesome."

As he spoke, he opened his briefcase and took out a scroll: "This is a 'Stealth Scroll', but it can only hide our figures, and cannot hide smells, sounds, etc.

"So Bazel will lead the way in front later, and we must not make any noise.

"If we encounter people from the 'Rose School', we will go around first. If we really can't get around, we will stop and watch.

"However, their noses are very sensitive. If we are discovered, in the absence of a Sequence 5, we will quickly launch an attack and then rush into the manor to rescue people.

"If there is a Sequence 5 inside, I will directly use 'Travel' to take you away.

"But before leaving, I will make some noise to attract people's attention and prevent them from discovering our target."

Bazel and Rupert nodded slowly, feeling that the captain had basically considered all the possibilities.

After the three of them were ready, Audiss threw out the scroll and recited in Ancient Hermes: "Open!"

The scroll shattered, as if forming a dark vortex, hiding the figures of Audiss and the other two.

Then they became transparent and would not block the scenery behind them.

The three immediately strode forward and entered the field. After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the Wilby Manor.

This process was very smooth and they did not encounter any obstacles.

After entering the manor, the three began to search. Soon the three looked together at the attic of the warehouse. The window there was opened a crack, as if someone was secretly opening it to let in air.

So the three of them, in a state of "invisibility", entered the manor's warehouse in such a grand manner.

There was only an old warehouse manager here, who was dozing off in the sun at this time, and didn't even hear Audiss and the others moving the ladder.

Arriving at the attic of the warehouse, they first saw some unused farm tools and some animal skins hanging, etc.

Before they could search, the animal skin was suddenly lifted, and a woman in her thirties who looked rather dignified appeared there.

Her face was a little pale, and there were dried blood stains on the clothes on her abdomen, but her spirit was good.

She smiled and said to Rupert, "I've finally waited for you! A few days ago, I met Blair, and the teacher said that you would be waiting soon."

At the same time, she looked at Audiss and Bazel with some vigilance.

Rupert quickly said, "These are the helpers I invited. Thanks to them, we were able to find this place so quickly."

Then he introduced the woman to Audiss and Bazel: "This is Leanna."

The three nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Rupert then asked, "Where is the teacher?"

"Inside," Leanna led the three of them through several layers of hanging animal skins, and came to a bed made of animal skins, where a middle-aged man in his forties was waiting there very weakly.

Audiss breathed a sigh of relief and asked the middle-aged man: "You used such a clever way to let us find this place, do you want us to save you immediately?"

He guessed that Rupert's teacher should have his own plan, or a plan that could make everything go smoothly, so he asked this question first.

Who knew that the other party said weakly: "I don't know either."

Audiss was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had the urge to hit someone again.
