Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Saturday morning, South Bridge District, 22 Tutwa Street.

Hugh was ready by a little after six in the morning, waiting for the carriage to pick her up for the gathering.

Yesterday evening's "Backlund Post" published the time information about the gathering, which was scheduled to start at 9 o'clock today.

Fors, wearing pajamas, yawned as she appeared in the living room: "Hugh, I'm here to see you off."

Hugh didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fors, have you forgotten? Under the influence of Emperor Rosell, 'seeing off' has other meanings."

Fors scratched her messy hair: "I only mean it literally, literally, um, besides, it's not like you're going into great danger this time."

Knock, knock, knock~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, but no one called out.

Hugh waved goodbye to Fors, opened the door, and saw a coachman dressed in black.

He didn't say anything, just gestured for her to "get in the car."

Hugh jumped into the carriage and saw that there was indeed a silver mask with three mystical symbols engraved on it, as well as a hooded cloak, inside the carriage.

She placed 5 soli of cash on the seat, then put on the mask and the cloak.

After that, Hugh began to carefully observe the surroundings in order to grasp her real-time location.

A little after eight o'clock, Hugh arrived at the meeting place.

A waiter was already waiting here, and while inviting Hugh in, the waiter told Hugh: "Even if it's not the date of the gathering, if you need help, you can write a letter, or come here in person to seek help.

"But the 'Leader' only promises that if he can provide help, he will provide it.

"If he can't help, please quickly think of other ways.

"In addition, if there is any time-sensitive information you want to trade, you can also use this method to trade as soon as possible."

Hugh disguised her voice and said in a relatively vicissitudes tone: "Okay."

This is another rather strange point, the initiator would actually make such a promise.

She chose a corner to sit down and waited quietly for the gathering to begin.

Soon, another participant arrived, wearing the same style of mask as Hugh and wearing the same cloak: "Oh? The new member has passed the assessment?"

Hugh was slightly stunned, a little unclear how the other party recognized her as a new member?

The other party seemed to see the doubt under Hugh's mask, and he smiled and said: "This gathering has fixed members, and it has been a long time since it has recruited new members... well, okay, mainly because your height is a bit special."

Hugh was a little helpless, she even wore shoes with raised heels today, but she was still discovered?

Soon, other members arrived one after another. At around 8:40, Hugh saw her recommender, Byron. Although the other party was also wearing a mask, Hugh knew that it was him.

After another ten minutes or so, the basement door opened. Just as Byron had described before, the "Leader" came out of the basement and slowly sat down in the chair facing everyone.

At exactly nine o'clock, the "Leader" announced: "The gathering begins.

"Very good, everyone is here this time."

Odyss, wearing a mask, smiled and said: "First, let me introduce the new member.

"The investigation of the new member ended yesterday. As her recommender 'Lion' said, she has stable channels in the East End. Those who have related needs can contact the new member.

"In addition, in order to facilitate the address, the new member must give herself a code name."

"Lion" Byron breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as Hugh passed the investigation, the information he had been interrogated by Hugh before would not be considered a leak, and he would not be punished.

Hugh felt that everyone's eyes were looking at her. She thought for a while and then stood up and said: "Owl."

Odyss thought to himself: I thought you would choose Corgi.

After everyone politely applauded to welcome her, the gathering officially began.

"Hound" said first: "'Leader', I heard that a thief broke into the Rosell Memorial Exhibition. I hope to get relevant information."

Hugh was slightly stunned: What? A thief broke in? Why didn't I hear about it?

A few days ago, she and Fors went there together, and everything seemed normal.

Other members were also very interested in this, but they knew that such information would definitely not be free, so they were just interested.

"50 pounds," Odyss quoted.

"No problem," "Hound" agreed immediately.

Odyss took the portable writing board handed over by the waiter, and while writing the information that could be used for trading, he said: "You continue."

"Giraffe", whose neck was longer than ordinary people, seemed to understand something: "So the 'Leader' is acquiring Emperor Rosell's 'relics' in order to..."

He only said this, and did not continue.

A chubby member smiled and said: "The 'Leader' doesn't think that the criminals will be stupid enough to sell Emperor Rosell's 'relics', right?"

Everyone looked sideways.

Female member "Peacock" said: "To be honest, it's really a miracle that 'Elephant' has survived until now."

"Elephant" was the code name of the fat member, and he did not attend the last gathering.

"Hound" said: "It is not ruled out that there will be internal strife among the criminals due to uneven distribution of spoils, and it is not ruled out that the criminals are very short of money."

He spread his hands: "There are many cases solved using this simple method."

"Okay, okay," "Elephant" waved his hand and said: "I need a mystical creature for experimentation, preferably a beast, preferably one that has been subdued and is not too dangerous."

The other members were slightly stunned, and then realized that they had finally found an opportunity to satirize "Elephant".

"Who would carry a mystical creature with them?"

"Does 'Elephant' want to experiment to see if his strength is greater than that of a mystical creature?"

"No, 'Elephant' is also a mystical creature. His main ability is to provoke, speak harshly, and make people want to beat him up."

"Hahaha~"

For a time, the gathering place became very cheerful.

"Elephant" wanted to argue many times, but was interrupted by other members, and sat there angrily and said: "Stupid idea!"

At this time, Odyss finished writing the information and asked the waiter to hand it to "Hound". He smiled at "Elephant" and said: "You should honestly sell your potions."

He knew very well that this guy was the "Fat Apothecary". He forgot the specific name, but he remembered this person.

"Elephant" sighed and said: "I brought a lot of potions here. You know the effects. If you want them, just ask.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot there was a newcomer. Let me briefly introduce them. I have potions that can quickly heal injuries, potions that can make you violent but more powerful, and potions for men... Oh, sorry, it seems like you don't need that kind of potion, unless you are very dissatisfied with your husband or partner's activities in bed at night."

Hugh originally wanted to inquire about the potion for treating injuries, but when she heard the latter part, she decisively gave up the idea.

"Elephant's" potions were quickly sold out. At this time, "Peacock" suddenly said: "Everyone, I have received accurate news that the 'Serial Murder Case' murderer has an owner."

At this time, "Elephant", who did not attend the last gathering, was a little strange: "What owner?"

"Peacock" explained it to him roughly.

When Hugh heard that the murderer in the "Serial Murder Case" was actually a mystical creature, she was even more surprised than "Elephant". Then she sighed: Why do I have the illusion that I am not living in Backlund? Among some well-known things, why are there so many secrets?

"Elephant" was muttering: "It also has an owner? I'll communicate with him if I have the chance."

Thanks to 【Ten Years of Life and Death are Vast!】 for the reward.
