Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

#146 - Pediatric emergencies

York Elton watched Wizard Gandalf's movements with rapt attention. After describing how to distinguish whether the eldest son was biological, he began to perform a bizarre dance, muttering incantations as if he had suddenly become another person.

This was Audiss fully absorbing the essence of the "shamanistic dance" art form and then modifying it, after all, the aesthetics of the Ruen Kingdom were somewhat different from those of Northeast China.

After performing for two or three minutes, Audiss felt that the atmosphere was sufficiently built up, so he took the staff and slammed it hard into the magic circle at York's feet.

York immediately felt an evil wind surrounding him, blowing upwards from below. When this evil wind reached the top of his head, it continued to rise.

This was not his illusion. The magic circle under York's feet was a "Breeze Array". Audiss had just injected spirituality into the array when he slammed the staff into it, causing the array to operate.

Although it was only a breeze, this was in a wizard's residence, surrounded by strange plants. On the shelves against the wall, besides some bottles and jars, there were also animal specimens and skullcaps.

In such a dimly lit room, York immediately became nervous, standing there stiffly.

Then Audiss took the staff to the side, and after reciting a spell, he slammed the staff into the magic circle containing the hair.

Whoosh~

The flames in the fireplace suddenly shot out, spraying onto the magic circle.

The magic circle immediately ignited with a ghostly green light. The flames in the fireplace returned to normal, but the flames in the magic circle suddenly blazed up, forming a pillar of fire more than one person high.

In shock, York's hands trembled slightly. This pillar of fire was very close to him, but he could not feel the heat of the pillar. On the contrary, he felt very cold.

This was a "Flame Array", but when Audiss wrote it, he used a large number of necromantic spiritual materials, so it was actually some kind of ghost fire, which would naturally be very cold.

Four or five seconds later, the intense flames disappeared.

A magical scene appeared. The strands of hair in the center of the magic circle were actually intact.

Audiss took a deep breath and said, "Your ancestors have determined that it is your child."

In fact, after obtaining the hair, he had already completed the divination and determined that the owner of the hair was York's child. All subsequent operations were just performances.

York breathed a long sigh of relief. Under the influence of the "evil wind" and "green flames" just now, he deeply believed in the words of Wizard Gandalf.

However, he still had some doubts: "Why do you say that my ancestors determined that the child is mine?"

"I have some simple ways to determine whether your eldest son is your biological child," Audiss explained mysteriously, "But for the sake of prudence, I summoned the souls of your ancestors to judge."

"Just now you should have felt an eerie wind swirling around you, which was actually using you to summon the souls of your ancestors."

"Because you are of the same lineage, your ancestors can completely distinguish whether it is your child."

York looked around, as if feeling the gaze of his ancestors, and then he said with great admiration: "You are the most powerful wizard I have ever seen!"

Audiss first felt that his spiritual body was very relaxed, and the potion finally showed signs of digestion.

In addition to being happy, he really wanted to ask York if he had seen other wizards before?

However, in order to keep the conversation going, Audiss just smiled and said nothing.

York, who had finally removed a huge doubt from his mind, was very happy. He took out his wallet, didn't count how much money there was, and pulled out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Audiss: "Mr. Wizard, please accept my gratitude."

Audiss reached out and took 5 ten-pound notes: "Fate only allows me to take this much."

York was a little excited: "You're taking too little."

Audiss smiled and said, "If I take money that doesn't belong to my destiny, that money won't belong to me either, and it will bring disaster to me."

These "swindler words" made York even more admire Audiss, and he no longer insisted on giving more. After thanking him profusely, he left.

Audiss put away the money, cleaned up the magic circle on the ground, and summed up the experience of the performance.

First of all, the wizard needs a certain amount of acting. When the target believes in his identity as a wizard and trusts the conclusions he draws as a wizard, the potion can be loosened or digested.

This can be seen as a spiritual interaction process. Whether it is a "wizard" or the digestion of other pathways' potions, such interaction is required.

Then the subsequent performance must continue and cannot be stopped.

Thinking about it, Audiss sat on the sofa and thought again: The cost of the spiritual materials used in the magic circle was about 7 pounds, so this "business" earned more than forty pounds. Not bad, not bad, today I have earned more than 70 pounds.

Audiss was very happy in his heart, reading a book and waiting for the next customer to arrive.

But his kind of "business" either comes with two or three orders at once, or none at all. No one came to visit for the rest of the day.

He did wait for Klein's reply first, but this reply was forwarded by Mandy.

In the letter, Klein said that he was willing to take the 2,000 pounds, after all, this sealed item was of little use to him.

However, he also said that he hoped to be able to borrow the sealed item if he needed it in the future.

After reading the letter, Audiss immediately wrote a reply, stating that it could be borrowed, but if he intended to explore the "Rainy Wilderness", he had to obtain Audiss's consent.

The reason was that it was too dangerous for one person to enter the "Rainy Wilderness".

After writing the reply, Audiss counted out 2,000 pounds of banknotes, made it into the shape of an ordinary package, and then handed it along with the letter to the cab driver, asking him to send it to the "Nangmu Ballroom", still to be forwarded by Mandy to Klein.

Afterwards, the idle Audiss began to study witchcraft. The next day, Friday, no customers came to visit either. Audiss took the opportunity to research several new witchcraft spells.

At this time, his understanding of witchcraft was already very profound, and he was already considering starting to write the outline of the "Encyclopedia of Witchcraft".

It wasn't until Saturday afternoon, when Audiss was about to start writing, that a customer finally arrived.

The hawker who sold Dixie pies on the street rushed in with a middle-aged woman, holding a seven- or eight-year-old child.

The hawker said somewhat anxiously in front: "Mr. Wizard, Mr. Wizard! Please help save this child!"

Audiss said: "You should go to the hospital, not..."

He stopped halfway through, because the child's face was black, his whole body was convulsing, and his expression was hideous and terrifying.

So he paused before saying: "The hospital can't cure this disease, quickly put him on the sofa."

The hawker and the woman breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Audiss's words, because they had already been to the hospital, and the doctor had given them medicine after diagnosis, but those medicines had no effect at all.

Without error, first, one hair, one inside, one face, one in, one look!

After the child lay down on the sofa, he struggled even more violently, requiring the hawker and the woman to hold him down together.

Audiss pinched his temples and opened the "Eyes of Secrets", on the child's spiritual body, there was a phantom black shadow attached.

The black shadow looked somewhat like a kangaroo, but it did not have the leisurely nature of a kangaroo. On the contrary, its face was hideous, and it was biting fiercely on the child's spiritual body, as if it was sucking energy.

Audiss said to the two people: "Stand back!"

The hawker quickly pulled the woman back. The black shadow lying on the little boy seemed to have sensed the threat from Audiss. The little boy suddenly jumped up and pounced on Audiss.

Audiss sprinkled the gray-black powder that he had already held in his hand. The room suddenly emitted a golden light. The black shadow was "hit" by the powder, and suddenly smoke billowed from its body, emitting a piercing scream.

The hawker and the woman were startled, not knowing where the scream came from.

Taking advantage of the monster opening its mouth, Audiss attached spirituality to the staff, raised his hand and gave it a blow, knocking the black shadow away.

The black shadow rolled twice on the ground, and finally no longer smoked.

The seven- or eight-year-old child also fell to the ground with a "thud", no longer convulsing, his face no longer hideous, and the black aura quickly dissipated.

The hawker breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart: As expected, I found the right person!

At this time, Audiss saw that the black shadow was lying on the ground and baring its teeth at him, attacking again.

Audiss quickly made a judgment: This guy's intelligence is not very high.

Theoretically speaking, it should have sensed that he was not a match, but it did not run away and continued to attack.

So Audiss, while dodging, sprinkled a handful of colorful powder. The black shadow immediately appeared in the real world.

The hawker and his sister saw that it was a colorful monster, with a big belly, strong hind legs, and a small head with a very hideous and terrifying expression.

They were so frightened that they retreated again and again, but they seemed to quickly think of something, lifted the child on the ground and hid behind the sofa.

The battle did not last long. As soon as they hid behind the sofa, the wizard had already seized the opportunity, knocked the monster to the ground with the staff, and sprinkled a handful of iron-black powder on it.

This handful of powder seemed to be more powerful than the previous handful of powder, emitting a gray light in the room. The light touched the somewhat illusory monster, and quickly melted away amidst the monster's screams and struggles, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Audiss put the staff aside, took a deep breath and said to the hawker and others: "It's okay."

He went to see the child again. At this time, the child's face was pale and he had not yet woken up.

So Audiss took a bottle of essential oil from the shelf, pried open the child's mouth, and poured in about one-fifth.

Replenished by the dense spiritual energy, the child quickly woke up, the color returning to their face, though they were still somewhat weak.

Just as Audiss was about to ask how the child had become like this, the woman spoke first, "Wizard, how much… how much is the consultation fee?"

She didn't know how else to describe Audiss's actions just now, or the cost of what had happened, so she used the term "consultation fee."

"3 pounds…" Audiss blurted out. This was just the cost of the essential oil; he hadn't even included the cost of the powder he'd scattered while using his witchcraft.

However, as soon as he quoted the price and saw the woman's expression, he knew she didn't have that much money.
