Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

#192 - The Special Thing About Odysseus

Audis's spirituality sensed that what happened to Dylan Edmund was not simple.

He pondered for a moment before asking, "Have you tried to get someone close to that figure to see if they can communicate with it?"

"I've tried," Dylan said with a hint of regret on his face, "I shouldn't have tried it so easily."

He paused before saying, "In general, others can't see that figure. People can only see him after I point him out."

"So I asked a servant at home to help me observe the figure up close.

"As a result, when he was still some distance away from the figure, his whole body suddenly burst into pale blue flames. By the time I ran over to put out the fire, he had already been burned to death.

"And it was burned very thoroughly, leaving only ashes."

Dylan sighed, "Since then, I have never dared to let anyone approach that figure again."

Audis thought for a moment and then asked, "Didn't you go to the church to seek a solution to the problem?"

"My uncle said that if the people of the church knew about this, I would die even faster," Dylan said with a wry smile, "My father also told me to try not to let the people of the church know about this.

"They seem to know some inside information, but no matter how I ask, they won't tell me.

"I had no choice but to follow my father to seek solutions to the problem everywhere, and I also tried many strange methods, such as hiding in a jar for a whole day, but that figure was still there."

"I suggest you go to the church to solve the problem," Audis said, "Relatively speaking, the church, with its thousands of years of history, has seen many strange problems, and also has methods to solve these strange problems."

Audis, who considered himself knowledgeable, had never heard of such a thing and had no clue. He said this to euphemistically remind Dylan that he could not solve the problem.

Dylan sighed, "I understand."

He smiled helplessly, "Maybe I should really listen to my father and instead of looking for ways to solve the problem everywhere, I should get married quickly and leave a child before I die."

"Don't be so pessimistic," Audis said, "This figure is still harmless at the moment, you still have a chance."

The cross-eyed man sighed, "Even such a powerful wizard can hardly solve the problem, maybe this problem is really difficult to solve."

Dylan stood up with a solemn expression, about to say goodbye, but he suddenly froze.

Then, he suddenly looked out the window, and then turned back to Audis and said, "Wizard, that figure just spoke!"

Audis glanced at the figure again. He was still on the street in the distance. He couldn't see his face, and he didn't hear his voice.

"He said he can see your specialness," Dylan said, not knowing whether it was nervousness or excitement, his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly, "He said others can't see it, but he can see it!"

Audis opened his mouth, immediately thinking about what was the most special about him?

A transmigrator? The "Knowledge Wilderness"?

It's likely the latter!

Audis quickly realized that even a True God would find it difficult to detect his experience as a transmigrator.

Then he thought, what exactly is that monster? Why can it detect my connection with the "Knowledge Wilderness"? Theoretically speaking, it should be when I reach Sequence 6 that the aura emanating from the "Knowledge Wilderness" can be detected by some high-sequence beings.

At this time, Dylan suddenly bowed deeply to Audis, "Wizard, please save me!"

That figure has appeared for so long that he is almost used to the other party's existence.

But from beginning to end, he has never spoken or made any reaction.

Today, the other party actually spoke!

This gave Dylan a glimmer of hope, and of course he couldn't give up this hope easily.

Audis frowned, "What else did he say?"

Dylan listened carefully and shook his head, "He didn't say anything else."

Audis frowned, took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, and thought about how to solve the problem.

He took two puffs of his pipe and suddenly said to Dylan, "Tell me in detail about your uncle."

"My uncle is more mysterious," Dylan quickly said, "Most of the time he is not in Backlund, and we don't know where he went.

"From childhood to adulthood, he gave me a very indifferent feeling, as if he didn't like me and my sister.

"However, he is still more concerned about the family curse, and has repeatedly comforted me, telling me to treat that figure as air and not pay too much attention to him.

"At the same time, he also told me some of his understanding of that curse.

"Oh, by the way, my sister's relics were given to me by my uncle. He and my father accompanied my sister through the last journey of her life.

"According to my father, in the three months before my sister's death, my uncle came back from out of town and helped take care of my sister for a while.

"I think, although he is indifferent, he still loves us."

Audis asked again, "The photo you showed me just now, is it among those relics?"

Dylan replied, "Yes."

"What is your uncle's name? Does he have a family?"

"His name is Feiqi," Dylan said, "He doesn't have a family, but I heard my father say that my uncle found a few women a few years ago, and it seems they all had children for my uncle.

"Although my uncle didn't bring them back home, he gives them enough living expenses every month?"

Audis frowned, "A few years ago?"

He seemed to have suddenly found a clue: "Was it after your grandfather passed away that he started looking for women to have children for him?"

Dylan thought for a moment before saying, "It seems so."

Then he asked, "Wizard, have you found any clues?"

"I just suddenly thought of it," Audis took a puff of his pipe, "If it's a family curse, theoretically speaking, after your grandfather died, it should be your mother's turn, and after your mother died, it should be your uncle's turn.

"But the problem is, after your mother died, it was your sister who suffered the curse, which is very strange!"

Dylan opened his mouth, "You... you don't suspect that it was uncle... uncle he..."

"Hopefully it wasn't your uncle who 'sent' the curse to your sister," Audis said with a smile, "But he may know more, I think we should visit him."

Dylan nodded, "That makes sense."

Audis added, "You guys go out and wait for a while, I'll make some preparations."

What he mainly prepared was for combat. If he guessed correctly, Dylan's uncle should be a Beyonder who chose a path inclined towards evil.

After making some preparations, Audis joined Dylan and the cross-eyed man, hailed a taxi carriage, and headed to the suburbs of Backlund.

In the carriage, the cross-eyed man also introduced himself. His name was Paine, and he ran a garment factory. He had been buying fabrics from Dylan, and they both liked the violin and often exchanged ideas. Over time, they became very good friends.

Dylan was somewhat uneasy at this time, "I don't know if my uncle is at home. He often goes out. What should I do if he's not at home?"

In fact, he was a little nervous, afraid that his uncle really killed his sister.

Audis said, "Even if he is not at home, we must carefully search his room and carefully look for evidence.

"That may be your only hope to survive."

He was actually basically certain that Dylan's uncle Feiqi had tampered with the curse. When he gave Dylan's sister's relics to Dylan, he should have completed some kind of ritualistic process to transfer the curse to Dylan.

Dylan was slightly stunned, "Okay, okay."

The development of the matter had completely exceeded his expectations, and at this time he could only listen to this wizard.

After chatting for a while, the carriage became quiet. Audis looked out the window. After leaving the urban area of Backlund, the fog looked lighter.

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one capacity, one at a time!

Farmland began to appear on both sides of the road, and villages could also be seen in the fields.

Occasionally, some courtyard walls and tall buildings in the courtyard could be seen. Those were the manors of nobles or wealthy people. Around Backlund, there were actually not many free people left.

The carriage drove for another half an hour before finally arriving at the residence of Dylan's uncle.

This used to be Dylan's grandfather's villa. Not far away, there was a lake with a considerable area. Around the lake, a circle of villas and manors were built.

Although it is very comfortable to live here in summer, it is not so good to live around the lake in winter, especially in Backlund, a foggy place. The villa should be very humid and cold.

Arriving at a small villa, Dylan got out of the car and saw that the courtyard door was not locked, so he said to the taxi driver, "Please wait for us here for a while."

The driver was of course happy to wait, because the waiting time was also included in the fare.

Dylan stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Uncle Feiqi! Uncle Feiqi?"

After waiting for about half a minute, Audis and others heard the sound of the door opening inside. After a few more seconds, a man who looked to be in his thirties opened the courtyard door. He said coldly, "Dylan? What are you doing here?"

He glanced at Paine and Audis warily, his eyes stopped on Audis, after all, it was rare to see people dressed as wizards now.

Dylan whispered, "About the curse, let's talk inside."

Feiqi was slightly stunned before flashing aside to let a few people in.

Arriving at the living room with a huge fireplace, a few people sat on the sofa. Dylan and Paine quickly shivered from the cold, because although the fireplace in the room was large, it was not lit.

This made the house very gloomy and cold, even colder than outside.

"Let me light the fireplace," Audiss smiled. "I'm best at lighting fireplaces."

With a wave of his hand, the firewood beside the fireplace flew into it on its own. This was the "Levitation Spell" that Audiss had invented based on his research on the dragon magic circle.

Earlier, sending the water glasses to Dylan and Payne was also done with this witchcraft.

After the firewood arranged itself, Audiss flicked some powder with his fingers, and with a "whoosh," the fireplace instantly ignited.

This operation amazed Dylan and Payne once again, while Fitch looked at Audiss with a solemn expression.

"Hopefully, we won't waste time," Audiss said. "Let's get straight to the point now."

"Dylan has entrusted me to investigate the shadow following him. Mr. Fitch, he once heard you say that it was a curse, right?"

Fitch said to Dylan with a cold face, "How many times have I told you? Don't tell outsiders about this, or you'll die even faster."

"Uncle Fitch, but this wizard is very different!" Dylan explained. "The shadow following me actually spoke after seeing this wizard."

Fitch suddenly stood up, looking surprised. "Impossible! You must have misheard. It must be this wizard putting on an act, using some trick-like witchcraft to deceive you."

"To be honest, before I met you, I had no confidence in this matter at all and really wanted to take Dylan to the church to let the people there solve the problem," Audiss said unhurriedly.

"But the shadow's words made me care more and decide to investigate what was going on."

Then he stared into Fitch's eyes: "You know who that shadow is, don't you?"

"I..." Fitch calmed down with surprising speed. "I don't know."

The room gradually warmed up. Audiss glanced at the blazing fireplace and smiled. "Then I'll have to talk about those outrageous things you've done."

"Your family's curse seems to have not found you for a long time, until Dylan's maternal grandfather got old, the curse suddenly appeared on him."

"I don't know where you got the detailed information, but you are very clear that once the curse starts, it will take the life of everyone in your family."

"First was your sister, Dylan's mother."

"Theoretically, it should be your turn next, but you performed an evil ritual, making Dylan's sister the target of the curse."

"In addition, your father, Dylan's maternal grandfather, quickly became terminally ill after realizing that the curse had reappeared, so he asked you to explain the curse to Dylan's mother."

"As a result, you didn't tell the truth at all, did you?"

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, Audiss smiled: "Oh, right, you only started going out to find women to have children after Dylan's maternal grandfather passed away."

"If I'm not mistaken, your initial plan was to have your children bear the curse for you."

"But soon, you discovered some serious problems. Those children had to reach a certain age before they could bear the curse, so you set your sights on Dylan and his sister!"

"I don't know what method you used to make Dylan's sister the target of the curse, but I learned from Dylan's description that you once gave Dylan some of his sister's belongings."

"You must have used the transfer of belongings to transfer the curse target as well."

Audiss's description made Dylan and Payne's jaws drop.

They both looked at Fitch. Fitch was also somewhat surprised at this time, but soon, he became indifferent again: "If it weren't for the 'witchcraft' you just used, I would have thought you were a 'detective'."

Then he said coldly: "Now that you know so much, then stay here forever."

Fitch then looked at Dylan: "As for you, I will imprison you in the dungeon until the curse takes your life."
