Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

A minute or two later, a majestic figure appeared in Audis's mind, followed by a line of text in front of him: "The Fool who does not belong to this era;

"The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;

"He is the King of Yellow and Black who holds good fortune."

Audis breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew the honorific name of "The Fool", he did not obtain it through "official channels" and dared not use it easily.

After getting up and thanking "The Fool", he lay down again: Tonight's encounter and that gray sphere seemed to be preparing me for the Tarot Gathering!

As a "Seer", Audis would occasionally sense this kind of fate fluctuation involving himself.

Lying in bed, Audis thought a lot, and finally had to use "meditation" to successfully fall asleep.

The next morning, Audis simply washed up, bought a Dixi pie on the street, and came to the public carriage station while eating.

With Audis's income, he could actually rent a small villa and buy or rent a carriage of his own.

However, the extraordinary research he usually conducts is very expensive, just like the revolver he carries with him that can release flames. In fact, it is not very useful to him, but in order to verify his research results, he can only make a prototype.

This is just one of the less expensive research projects. For example, the magic circle in Audis's jacket, just that small piece of "Ahona Crystal" is worth 1200 pounds!

Therefore, Audis, who has a very high income, only lives a life of an ordinary middle class.

Also influenced by the ideas before crossing over, he saves as much as possible in daily expenses, and usually travels by public carriage.

When the pie was finished, the public carriage slowly drove up, and Audis followed the crowd onto the crowded carriage.

......

Second floor of the Kingdom Museum, in the restored study.

"Heart of the Machine" team leader Max Livermore asked the team members: "Confirm that only two bookmarks were stolen?"

While speaking, he secretly glanced at the important figure standing in front of the desk with his back to him.

That was an old man wearing a white priest's robe and a soft hat for clergy. He was the head of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery in Backlund, a member of the Divine Council, and Archbishop Horamick Haydn.

The team member who was asked replied firmly: "Yes, only those two bookmarks were stolen."

Horamick's eyes flickered with illusory light: "There was more than one person here last night, at least three, divided into two opposing sides.

"One of them may even be of a higher sequence than me. He also has an accomplice. The other side cannot see the strength or weakness, but it is certain that he escaped in a strange way.

"The high-sequence person immediately chased after him, and his accomplice... entered the spirit world and escaped..."

Max, whose facial lines were sharp, guessed: "A Beyonder of the 'Apprentice' pathway?"

The illusory light in Horamick's eyes gradually disappeared, and he shook his head gently: "Doesn't look like it."

Max nodded slowly, then it must be a Sealed Artifact of the "Apprentice" pathway.

Who knew that Horamick frowned again and said: "It doesn't look like he used a Sealed Artifact either."

Max looked puzzled. Not a Beyonder of the "Apprentice" pathway? Nor is it a Sealed Artifact of that pathway? That's strange...

"Things are more complicated than we thought." Horamick sighed with a gentle expression: "I also know why they stole the bookmarks.

"We have been deceived by Roselle for more than 150 years!"

......

Ding Ling Ling~

It was after four o'clock in the afternoon when a guest entered the store. Kaina, the fifteen-year-old clerk at the Gars Herbal Shop, stopped sorting the herbs and put on the most amiable smile and asked: "May I ask... Oh, it's Mr. Livermore, are you here to see Mr. Audis?"

Max Livermore, who had not slept all night and had been busy for most of the day, nodded slowly with some fatigue.

Kaina, who looked very energetic, gestured towards the inside of the store: "Please come in."

Max opened the inner door familiarly. The inside of the store was a small courtyard, but it was filled with flower pots.

Some common herbs that do not require a high growth environment are planted in the flower pots.

After passing through the courtyard, there are two more rooms, one is a warehouse and a utility room, and the other is Audis's room for rest and experimentation.

Of course, this kind of experiment that can be "open to the public" does not involve Audis's secrets.

Max opened the door and first smelled the smell of herbs all over the room. Audis was wearing a mask and a hat, busy in front of a table of beakers and measuring cylinders.

Seeing Max come in, Audis stopped what he was doing: "Friend, you look very tired. You can just try the potion I am preparing."

He paused for a moment and then said: "Sit over there for a while, it will be ready soon."

Max was indeed a little tired. He sat in the chair and watched Audis mix the weighed powder and the potion that had already been boiled in the measuring cylinder, and finally formed a blue potion.

Audis poured the potion from the measuring cylinder into a cup, and then handed it to Max: "This is a formula that I traded with a wild Beyonder who is suspected to be an 'Apothecary' some time ago. It can effectively relieve fatigue.

"Of course, I don't have the ability of an Apothecary, so I can only use spirituality to give the potion a limited effect."

Back then, the extraordinary event that Audis encountered when he crossed over was handled by Max and his team, and later the two gradually became old friends who could talk about everything.

This "Heart of the Machine" team leader trusted Audis very much. After simply looking at the potion, he drank it all in one gulp.

The potion was sour, and the feeling of fatigue was indeed relieved after drinking it. He handed the cup back to Audis: "So you can not only make potions that can enhance a man's abilities in that area."

Audis took the cup and smiled: "That's market demand."

He put down the cup, put out the alcohol lamp, and asked: "Why do you have time to come to me today?"

"There is an urgent mission."

Audis was slightly startled and had some guesses: "Tell me."

"Help me inquire about whether the noble children on this list have had any unusual behavior recently." Max took out the list of noble children who had attended the exhibition alone last night.

This is the privilege of the nobles. Last night, after all the tourists had left, the "Roselle Memorial Exhibition" welcomed a group of noble children. The theft occurred that night, so they are highly suspected.

Max moved his neck a few times and then said: "Also, help me pay attention to whether anyone has recently traded or used magical items similar to the 'Apprentice' pathway, and secretly buy items used by Emperor Roselle at a high price. If you receive a bookmark, contact me immediately!

"For these two tasks later, you must pay attention to hiding yourself."

In fact, for these two tasks later, not only him, but the church also does not have much hope.

Audis secretly said: Sure enough! The magical item similar to the 'Apprentice' pathway is pointing at me. Heh, let me investigate my own evidence. I can't find any clues in this life.

"No problem, I will arrange it." Audis agreed immediately.

Max stretched his waist, then suddenly stood up and said: "I have something to do, I'll go first."

Audis sent him to the door, and immediately returned to the desk to write a letter, put it in an envelope, and sealed it with sealing wax.

Coming to the herbal shop, Audis handed the letter to Kaina: "Send it to Ms. Mandy."

Kaina took the letter and handed over a newspaper: "This is the extra edition that was just delivered. You might be interested."

Audis glanced at it: "Oh? The serial killer has been shot dead!"
