Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

As evening approached, Viscount Vede, having endured a day of torment, returned to his mansion in a carriage from his mistress, Miss Lisa's, residence.

The fifty-something viscount looked wan, with sunken eyes, appearing somewhat drained.

As the carriage entered Queen's Avenue, he inadvertently noticed a middle-aged man standing by the roadside, dressed in a loose wizard's robe, wearing a pointed hat, with a long nose, a long beard, and leaning on a wooden staff.

Viscount Vede felt that this person resembled the wizards he had in his memory, so he took another look.

At that moment, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his ears: "You've been very unlucky lately."

Viscount Vede was startled: "Who is it?"

The bodyguard sitting opposite the viscount was also startled: "What?"

Viscount Vede took a deep breath: "Didn't you hear the voice just now?"

The bodyguard was a little dazed: "No."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Viscount Vede thought he was just a little mentally distracted and had misheard.

But just at that moment, he saw another middle-aged man standing by the roadside, dressed in a loose wizard's robe, wearing a pointed hat, with a long nose, a long beard, and leaning on a wooden staff.

Viscount Vede rubbed his eyes, and whether it was the clothes, appearance, or demeanor, it was exactly the same as the wizard just now.

At the same time, he heard the voice from just now again: "The river of your destiny is very turbulent, and a great disaster is about to befall you."

Viscount Vede's hands trembled. This time he was sure it wasn't a hallucination, someone was really talking to him, and judging from the bodyguard's expression, he still hadn't heard anything: "Stop the car, stop the car quickly."

He suddenly realized that it was likely that the wizard from just now was talking to him through some magical means.

The window of the carriage behind opened, and Beavis coldly said to the wizard on the street: "If you follow us again, I won't be polite."

His spirituality could sense that it was an Extraordinary, and the other party seemed to have used Extraordinary abilities just now.

Because Beavis didn't feel any danger, and the employer hadn't issued an attack order, he just gave a warning.

The wizard on the street was, of course, Audis.

After returning to the herbalist shop, he first rested for a while, and then asked Kaina, as well as several customers who came to buy medicine, what wizards looked like in their minds.

Combining everyone's opinions, Audis summarized three characteristics: a long beard, a staff, and a pointed hat and loose wizard's robe.

So Audis designed his own wizard image. The long beard, reaching to his chest, covered half of his face, and he used props to lengthen his nose. After slightly outlining his eyeliner, Audis's expression became a little sinister, creating a huge difference from the herbalist shop owner's temperament.

What Viscount Vede heard just now, someone speaking in his ear, was actually Audis talking to him using the invented "Whispering Spell".

This witchcraft looks very magical, but the principle is very simple, it is just a necromantic witchcraft that can directly speak to other people's spiritual bodies.

Besides being a little secretive and not being heard by others, this witchcraft cannot harm the other party's soul, nor can it form a certain spiritual guidance, it has no other effect.

But it can be used to play tricks.

Audis ignored Beavis, but said to the carriage in front of Viscount Vede: "The guidance of fate has brought me here, Salci Vede! Son of Antonio! The glory of the ancestors…"

Beavis had already gotten out of the carriage at this time: "Catch him!"

"Wait." Viscount Vede was sure that this was the voice that had just spoken in his ear. He opened the carriage window and said, "Let him finish."

Audis's "Whispering Spell" had already made Viscount Vede believe that he had encountered a real wizard.

Indeed, it was a real "wizard", but the wizard in Viscount Vede's concept was not quite the same as the "wizard" in the Extraordinary world.

In legends, wizards are mysterious and powerful, always hiding in dark villages or deep mountains and forests, concocting some potions with strange effects, and it is said that they even concoct elixirs of immortality.

They also seem to have a certain insight into fate, and can always predict the fate of some people and some things.

In addition, noble names are rarely known, but the wizard in front of him said the name of old Viscount Vede, who had passed away about ten years ago.

This made Viscount Vede even more convinced that the wizard in front of him had abilities such as divination or prophecy.

Extraordinary bodyguard Beavis immediately said: "Viscount, please don't be bewitched by his words…"

"Let him finish!" Viscount Vede said again, somewhat weakly.

Today's encounter made him a little dissatisfied with Beavis, who had neither noticed that someone had put a laxative in his drink, nor found the culprit.

Beavis had no choice but to step back two steps and make way for Audis.

Audis continued: "The glory of the Vede family's ancestors is likely to show signs of decline recently."

Viscount Vede quickly asked: "Is there any way to solve it?"

"Yes." Audis said: "Impurities have been mixed into the river of your destiny. As long as you find the source of the impurities, you can solve it."

"How do I find it?"

"Look for it at your home."

Viscount Vede said, somewhat weakly: "Please get in the carriage."

"No need." Audis said indifferently: "You go first, I'll be there soon."

Viscount Vede nodded, while letting the carriage continue forward, while continuing to observe the wizard.

As the carriage got further and further away from Audis, he saw him raise his staff, as if chanting a spell, and then seemed to sprinkle some powder.

Then a magical scene happened. The wizard stepped forward, walking and walking, and suddenly stepped into the air very freely, flying forward, and soon caught up with Viscount Vede's carriage.

Just as Audis analyzed, Viscount Vede was a very superstitious person. After seeing Audis's "performance", he almost got out of the car to worship.

The bodyguards also showed surprised expressions, only Beavis sneered: "A small trick."

When Viscount Vede's carriage entered the courtyard of his luxurious villa on Queen's Avenue, the bodyguards, servants, gardeners, etc. inside were all stunned.

Someone actually flew in following Viscount Vede's carriage!

When the carriage stopped, the person flying in the air also landed steadily.

Viscount Vede, supported by his bodyguard, smiled as he got out of the carriage: "Mr. Wizard, please come in."

Audis gave a grand "Hmm" and stepped forward, walking in the front.

As soon as he entered the door, he nodded slightly to a noblewoman who came out to greet him: "Good day, Madam Viscount!"

Without a single mistake! First, appearance, then inner refinement, one by one!

Saying that, Audis, who had a wealth of information, didn't wait for the noblewoman to react before heading to the living room.

And the direction he was going was also the direction of the living room of the Viscount's mansion. After sitting down generously on the sofa, he waited for Viscount Vede and his wife behind him.

This performance once again surprised Viscount Vede. Without anyone introducing him, the wizard was able to recognize his wife. This was not too surprising, after all, it was likely to be seen from his wife's clothes.

But the other party's confident demeanor, as if he had been to his house before, made Viscount Vede really unable to figure out how he did it.

In fact, this point is thanks to the advanced intelligence system established by Audis. He has a plan of the Vede family's house. Where is the living room? Where is the bedroom? Even where is the washroom? He knows it all clearly.

In the entire Ruen's intelligence organization, except for Military Intelligence Section Nine, which has such an advanced intelligence system, other intelligence organizations have at most a written description of the house's structure and use.

When Viscount Vede also sat next to him, Audis was still not in a hurry to talk about the topic, but said to the viscount, who looked very weak: "Your condition is still very serious, and you need to rest for at least two or three days."

Viscount Vede's personal doctor had been treating him for a day, but the effects of severe dehydration on his body still made him suffer unspeakably.

And Viscount Vede obviously doesn't know "Apothecaries", otherwise "Apothecaries" only need a dose of herbs, and he can return to normal.

Hearing Audis say this, Viscount Vede was a little excited: "You know my condition?"

Audis thought to himself: Nonsense, I put the medicine in, of course I know.

He didn't answer Viscount Vede's question, but said: "Have someone go to the kitchen and get a small bowl of black sesame seeds."

Viscount Vede knew that the wizard was going to use his witchcraft to help him heal, so he quickly asked the butler to get the sesame seeds.

Soon, the butler brought the sesame seeds.

Audis got up, sprinkled a handful of green powder on his staff, and the staff made of dead wood actually sprouted new branches and leaves.

This stunned everyone in the room. Some servants rubbed their eyes, some couldn't believe what they saw.

Audis looked like a swindler, chanting words, waving his loose sleeves for a while, and stroking the branches and leaves as if he was helping the branches and leaves grow.

The branches and leaves quickly grew longer, bloomed flowers, and in a matter of seconds, a peach was formed.

This operation surprised even the knowledgeable Beavis, because this was another witchcraft invented by Audis himself, which Beavis had never seen before.

Audis picked off the peach, and the peach flesh immediately became illusory, turning into petals of peach blossoms and disappearing. All that was left in his hand was a peach pit.

Then Audis pinched open the peach pit, and inside was a plump peach kernel.

At this time, the peach branches on his staff also quickly became illusory and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Before everyone could recover, Audis put down his staff, grabbed some sesame seeds from the bowl held by the butler, put them together with the peach kernel, and squeezed them together with his hands to form a ball of sesame seeds and peach kernels.

Finally, he handed it to Viscount Vede: "Eat it."

This morning, because he had eaten something dodgy, Viscount Vede, who had been given a laxative, was somewhat resistant.

But thinking of the miraculous deeds this wizard had displayed, he ultimately took the sphere, chewed it simply, and swallowed it.

A few seconds later, Viscount Vede felt strength returning to his limbs, although not fully recovered, he could walk without assistance.

This was actually a remedy that Audiss had mastered after his advancement, a kind of folk remedy that could effectively alleviate the symptoms caused by dehydration.

At this time, Viscount Vede had no more doubts, got up and grasped Audiss's hand: "Mr. Wizard, please, you must help me! I've been so unlucky lately."

This cold was really too painful. The author actually had a fever for three and a half days. I remember when I got COVID a couple of years ago, I only had a fever for one night.

Although I took ibuprofen those few days and temporarily reduced the fever, I was weak and exhausted. I could only write 500 words and rest for twenty minutes, then write another 500 words, and so on.

Fortunately, my condition has recovered a lot today. Although I still cough a lot and get tired easily, I can now write 1500 words and then take a break.

What the author is more fortunate about is that I didn't have any breaks in updates, or updates of less than 6000 words.
