Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 109 Sherlock Detective's Good Idea

"The Fool" Klein suddenly recalled that "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" is also called "Code Geass: The Rebellion", which is the name of an anime!

It was a story about a young nobleman rebelling against aristocratic rule. He had watched two seasons of it before traveling through time!

He guessed that Lelouch must be a time traveler. Simply calling him Lelouch might be a coincidence, but putting "rebellion" and "Lelouch" together is definitely a joke that only a time traveler would use.

Thinking of this, Klein smiled. This world indeed has more than one traveler. Russell traveled here over a hundred years ago. Back then, the Emperor thought he was the protagonist of this world, but now it seems he's just the protagonist of an era.

There was another time traveler who arrived in this world around the same time as me. I became the chivalrous thief "Black Emperor," and he became "Code Geass," and as expected, someone from my hometown was also disappointed with this era and some aspects of this kingdom.

Klein currently has no intention of recognizing the other party. First, there's no guarantee he'll find the other party, and second, recognizing each other now wouldn't be very useful.

"Hermit" Odysseus felt somewhat regretful: he had said the words "rebellious Lelouch" in a moment of haste. Klein should have understood that this Lelouch must be a time traveler.

But then he thought: This isn't a big problem. Lelouch's "account" has been cancelled. At most, a book will be left behind, and nothing else. Based on the clues Klein knows, it's impossible for him to suspect me.

After hearing Miss Justice's answer, Magician Fors became curious: "Why would he leave such a message? 'Rebellious'? Could he still be a rebellious teenager?"

Audrey said, "Maybe he's expressing his uncompromising spirit."

Odysseus nodded slightly: He who knows me is justice.

Klein twitched his lips almost in an unruly manner: Maybe he's just having a bout of middle school syndrome, just like the Emperor.

Alger, the "Hanged Man," was more concerned: "Has this Lelouch been captured by an official Beyonder?"

Audrey replied: "Not yet."

"This guy is amazing," Alger commented.

Klein thought: Setting a fire on King's Road and getting away with it is indeed not easy.

Fors said, "I hope he will never be arrested."

Audrey also said, "I hope so."

The corners of Odysseus' mouth curled up slightly: You can rest assured about this, the official Beyonders can't even catch a ghost.

The topic ended here and everyone started talking about other topics.

Odysseus said, "I've heard some news. The Rose School has been very active in Backlund recently. I wonder what their purpose is. Do you have any news about them?"

Alger, Audrey, and the others all shook their heads, but The World suddenly said, "From what I understand, they're resolving some internal issues."

"I've heard about this too," Odysseus said, "It seems the 'indulgence faction' and the 'temperance faction' have already fought once at the dock area.

"Later, the Rose School's indulgent faction was severely attacked by the official Beyonders and seemed to have withdrawn from Backlund.

"But just a few days ago, an official Beyonder eliminated another 'werewolf,' also said to be a member of the 'Rose School.' It's probably certain that their retreat was a false alarm. I wonder what their purpose is."

Audrey and Fors were very concerned about this matter, and both felt that "this kind of thing actually happened in Backlund?"

Klein, who was behind the gray fog, was visibly stunned. He hadn't expected that the Hermit knew more about the Rose School's recent actions than he did.

He only knew that the "Indulgence Faction" withdrew after being hit by the "Mechanical Heart", so Miss Sharon and Maric began to continue their activities, but he did not expect that their withdrawal was actually an illusion.

Klein decided to inform Miss Sharon tonight and ask them to proceed with caution for the time being.

In fact, what Odysseus said just now was meant for Klein to hear, hoping to attract the attention of Miss Sharon and the others.

Although Bernadette had previously learned about the drug buyer Bernie from Miss Sharon, the "Mysterious Queen" might not necessarily remind Miss Sharon that she needed to be on guard against the "Indulgence Faction."

It would be better to let Klein remind her again. If this is a counterattack against the "Temperance Faction", the bodyguard will be in great danger.

After communicating for a while, Klein announced that this Tarot Club was over.

Odysseus returned to the real world and lay quietly in the armchair for a while, thinking about the information he had obtained from Fors. At the moment, he could not think of a good channel to publish it.

If all else fails, I can only delete the analysis and explanation of the battle with Chibman, but if I do that, the charm of the book will be gone.

For now, we can only wait and see, and see if there is a chance.

Then, Odysseus began to think about promotion again. This time, he planned not to report to the "Mechanical Heart" first and get promoted secretly first.

Anyway, the main materials are already there. Thinking of this, Odysseus suddenly remembered that there was no silver-billed crane blood in his store.

He took a deep breath, stood up and wrote two notes, then went to the shop in front and asked his clerk Kena to run errands and send a note to 117 Queen's Road, the residence of Viscount Kelton, to buy the blood of the silver-billed crane from him.

The second note was sent to the Backlund Post, informing the members of the Occult Research Society that they would meet at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

After that, Odysseus watched the shop, waiting for Mr. Fool to notify him to perform the bestowal ceremony and obtain the 'fruit of the fleabane tree' that he had traded from Audrey.

……

Wood District, Minsk Street 15.

Ding ding ding ding~
Klein, who had just finished reading the "Spiritual World Observations" copied by the "Magician" and returned to the real world from "above the gray fog", heard the doorbell ring.

He hurried downstairs and came to the door, and the scene outside the door appeared in his mind.

Standing outside the door was Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer with blue eyes and a delicate mustache.

Klein could already guess the other party's intentions. He opened the door and smiled, "Let me guess. Do you need a bodyguard right now?"

Klein had also read the Daily Observer report today. Mike smiled wryly and said, "Yes."

Klein glanced at the street outside, then stepped aside and invited Mike in.

As soon as the door closed, Mike laughed and said, "I wrote something that made someone angry again, and this time, I angered a nobleman."

Klein glanced in and out of the window glass: "So you're being followed."

"It seems like I'm being followed." Mike said as he sat on the sofa, "I always felt like someone was watching me this afternoon."

He took a deep breath and said, "This time, the newspaper has approved a week's worth of protection for me. How about 10 pounds a day? You have to protect my safety for the next week.

"If there's a fight, I'll give you more money."

Klein opened his mouth, but still said, "Wait a moment. I'm going to the bathroom and think about it."

In fact, he was inclined to accept this commission. After all, Mike must have withstood tremendous pressure to make the news public in his report this morning.

But if it is too dangerous, he will refuse the commission and ask Isengard Stanton, who has official channels, to take over Mike's commission.

After all, this commission involved the nobles, and he really didn't want to get involved in the nobles' struggle.

Arriving in the bathroom, Klein took off the citrine pendant from his wrist and muttered to himself, "Michael Joseph's commission is very dangerous.

“Mike Joseph’s commission is dangerous.

"..."

After silently reciting it seven times, the pendant began to rotate clockwise, but the amplitude of the rotation was not large.

In other words, there is a certain risk, but it is within an acceptable range.

wow~
Klein pretended to flush the toilet and returned to the living room. "I've decided to accept your commission. When will I start protecting you?"

"It's best to start now."

Klein nodded: "No problem."

Then he asked, "Does your family need protection?"

"I sent my family to the suburbs last night," Mike said. "That place is very secluded. As long as I don't go to visit my family, they won't be able to find it."

As a veteran journalist, of course I have to have a secret hiding place to protect my family.

"That's good." Klein said as he put on his coat, "From now on, you must obey my commands. If I tell you to hide, you hide. If I tell you to run, you run.

"Also, I've thought of a great place to protect you, but before we go there, I must ask, how much funding did you get this time?"

"150 pounds," Mike said, "If it's not enough, you can apply for more."

"Very good." Klein smiled slightly. "How about we go to the Nanmu Ballroom and find some girls to dance with?"

……

Gall's Herbal Shop, 51 Henry Street.

By the evening, Odysseus still hadn't received any notification from The Fool about arranging the ceremony, but the blood of the silver-billed crane had been delivered, and now all that was missing was the main ingredient.

Just as the herbal shop began to get busy, Odysseus noticed that his pocket watch had lit up again.

However, this time the color of the pocket watch is indeed yellow. This pocket watch can receive two signals in total, one from No. 199 Hairun Avenue, the gathering place of the Mysticism Research Society.

If the waiter presses the signal transmitter there, Odysseus's pocket watch will emit a red signal.

One is from the "Nanmu Ballroom". Mandy also has a signal transmitter in her hand. If she presses it, the pocket watch will light up yellow.

Odysseus had no choice but to hand over the business of the store to his clerk Kena. He went to the basement in the backyard, changed into Mr. Gal's clothes, and used the "teleportation array" to come to the third floor of the "Nanmu Ballroom".

As soon as the door of the room on the third floor opened, the receptionist immediately came forward to greet him: “Mr. Gall, Mike Joseph, a reporter from the Daily Observer, is in the ballroom again.

“Originally, Ms. Mandy thought he was just here to spend money, and even gave him a bottle of wine.

"But more than ten minutes ago, a group of people broke in and said they wanted to take Mr. Mike away.

"Ms. Mandy asked me to wait here while she calmed the group down and explained the whole story to you."

Odysseus said, "Hmm," "I understand."

He walked quickly towards the stairs, but at the landing he suddenly turned back and asked the receptionist: "Do you think we should protect reporter Mike?"

"I... I read the report about him today, and I don't think we should let those people take him away." But then she lowered her head in panic: "I, I don't know if I'm right."

Odysseus smiled and said, "That makes sense."

After saying that, he turned around and walked downstairs quickly.

　The author has caught a cold these two days, and suddenly started to have a fever today. I have used up all my energy and can only update normally. I don’t have time to read everyone’s comments or anything.

　　Everyone should also pay attention. There is a cold epidemic recently. It seems that the author was infected after going out for breakfast.
