Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Fortunately, the power of this formidable enemy quickly dissipated. The carpet settled back into place, the tables and chairs remained still, and the clothing no longer felt constricting.

The members of the "Mechanical Heart" squad, as if they had just had their throats choked, could finally breathe smoothly, and they gasped for air.

Meanwhile, the heavily injured "Living Corpse" from earlier had escaped.

Max and the others pushed aside the surrounding tables and chairs and immediately chased into the backyard, only to find that the flanking squad had been blocked by the flowers, plants, and trees in the yard. Although they had eliminated two enemies, some had still managed to escape.

At this moment, Ikanse also rushed over, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no casualties: "The enemy is stronger than we imagined!"

He was well aware that a demigod from the "Rose School" had intervened earlier: "Fortunately, we arrived very suddenly, and they fled in a panic."

Otherwise, a single demigod would have been enough to wipe them out. Fortunately, the demigod had concerns and didn't linger, only covering the escape of his subordinates.

Almost all the members of the "Mechanical Heart" were injured, mostly from being hit by tables and chairs or pricked by plants, but the injuries were not serious.

The uninjured members began searching the entire villa. Most of the people here were dead, especially the women, most of whom had been brutally tortured to death.

After roughly searching the place, Ikanse and Max smoked cigarettes while watching the busy doctors and subordinates.

Ikanse smoothed his messy brown hair: "This time, we need to give Odis some extra bonus money; otherwise, even if everyone here had died, we wouldn't necessarily have noticed anything unusual."

Max sighed first: "The 'Indulgence Faction' of the 'Rose School' is as cruel and bloodthirsty as ever."

Then he added: "Odis previously expressed his hope to obtain the magic potion formula of a 'Wizard'."

Ikanse was taken aback: "Try to persuade him to choose another reward. The whispers of the evil god will become more and more obvious at the 'Wizard' level, and he will become a huge unstable factor."

Max stubbed out his cigarette: "I will try my best to persuade him."

...

South Bridge District, in a dilapidated apartment.

The escaping members of the "Rose School's" Indulgence Faction were tending to their wounds while cursing the official Beyonders.

In another room, the pale-faced "Wraith," who didn't look like a living person, stood obediently in the center of the room.

Suddenly, it felt as if a hand had grabbed his heart, causing him to kneel on the ground in pain.

A phantom figure appeared on the window glass, and at the same time, a cold voice came: "You idiot, it's only been a few days, and you've already been exposed!"

The "Wraith" quickly explained: "We...we have been very careful."

"Then how did the official Beyonders get the news?"

The "Wraith" was also very aggrieved. He didn't know!

...

Sunday morning, the "Flame Arrow" parts ordered from the foundry arrived.

These parts had already been polished, and they could be used after a careful brushing.

After washing and drying them, Odis taught Kaina how to carve the parts with mutated flamingo leg bones.

There was a technique to this carving process. Mixing agave juice with mutated flamingo blood would soften the metal for a short time.

Although the softening time was only three seconds, it was enough to complete the carving with flamingo leg bones, which were much more brittle than metal.

Odis first used a white pen to draw the carving patterns on each part, and then, after demonstrating, he handed over this repetitive work to Kaina.

It would take at least three or four days to complete the carving work.

Around noon, Simon came again: "Sir, I have brought good news. You can go to King's Avenue to compete tonight."

"This is your first time participating. If you win, you can get 260 pounds, and if you lose, you can still get 150 pounds."

Odis nodded slowly: "What are the rules?"

Simon immediately said: "Complete the competition in the specified venue. You can use one cold weapon."

"When one party faints or suffers an injury that affects their combat ability, forcing them to end the match, the other party wins."

"If you withdraw from the competition for no reason, you won't get a single penny."

Odis chuckled: "In other words, at least blood must be drawn to end the match."

Simon stood there honestly. If Odis didn't know his background, he could have sarcastically retorted: "Do you think the nobles' money is so easy to earn?"

But at this moment, he didn't dare to say that, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Odis asked again: "When do we go?"

"Six o'clock tonight. I'll pick you up."

Odis nodded: "Okay."

There was nothing to do the whole afternoon. Originally, Odis planned to go to the Bobo Fighting Club again, but thinking that he was going to have a Beyonder fight tonight, he still had to try to conserve his strength.

So, the whole afternoon, he was thinking about how to write that book about fighting.

First of all, Odis planned to write Bajiquan into the book, considering it his own school.

Of course, he definitely couldn't call it Bajiquan. He had already thought about it. He could lie that it was a lost fighting school obtained from an antique.

Originally, he really wanted to continue to lie that this school originated from Emperor Rosell, but then he thought that Bernadette might ask about it. After thinking about it, it was safer to blur the origin of Bajiquan.

If this book was accidentally seen by Klein, and he came looking for him, he would decide whether to recognize his fellow countryman based on the situation, or continue to pretend to be stupid and say it came from an antique of the elves.

Odis took notes on paper while conceiving, and after an afternoon, he had a general idea of the book.

He planned to name the book "Essentials of Combat". First, there should be an overview and ideological program of combat, and then introduce Bajiquan and several more common schools, followed by a large number of cases, describing the techniques of using combat skills in actual combat.

About 100,000 words would be enough, and then he would contact a publisher.

At a little after five in the afternoon, Odis ate dinner early and asked Kaina to watch the store.

Around six o'clock, Simon arrived in a hired carriage to pick up Odis.

After getting in the car, Odis said: "Go to 75 Hailin Avenue first."

"Okay." Simon knocked on the carriage and announced the address to the coachman in a loud voice.

Returning home, Odis first changed into a clean and neat knight's uniform, and then went to the basement.

The basement was full of dazzling arrays, all of which were Beyonder weapons that he used for experiments or made. These weapons included metal crossbows, large axes and small axes, shields, and also rifles. The largest number were swords and small axes with various functions.

In the end, Odis chose a sword and a cane. He wrapped the sword up and walked out of the basement carrying the cane, and then took a half-face mask from the study.

Normally, Odis didn't like to carry a cane when going out, but today he suddenly felt a little awkward carrying a cane.

Getting back into the carriage, after driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at 155 King's Avenue.
