Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 135 Opening the Iron Box Made by Russell

This question from Deacon Conant, the "Substitute Punisher," may seem ordinary, but it's difficult to answer.

Odysseus found that he seemed to have considered all the problems, but still missed a key issue: Bajiquan had been used in the fight club.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, he had no intention of destroying the fighting arena on King's Avenue at the time. He only wanted to hone his fighting skills, so he didn't care about such things.

If Conant went to the fight club to find out more, he would soon discover that the fighting techniques used by Odysseus in the fight club were very similar to Lelouch's fighting techniques.

But Odysseus had not made any preparations in advance, and if he lied in a hurry, he might be exposed.

In fact, Conant had no other intentions. Since he had come here, of course he had to ask all the questions he had prepared.

After asking, he looked at Odysseus quietly, waiting for his answer.

At the crucial moment, Odysseus's brain, which had become stronger after his promotion, came to his aid. He said without hesitation, "This... this, well, how should I put it? You have to keep this a secret for me."

Even if you talk nonsense at this time, it is better than hesitation, at least it will not arouse suspicion immediately.

At the same time, his brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find a reasonable answer to this question.

Conant didn't think much about it. After all, Odysseus had enough evidence of his alibi. For him, it was impossible for a noble to lie for the sake of a herbalist.

He smiled and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be kept secret?"

"Hahaha..." Odysseus used laughter to cover up his lies and made up a good lie. Then he said again: "I will tell you, but you have to keep it a secret for me."

Since he had been asked this question, Conant said, "No problem."

"Wait a moment." Odysseus pretended to go back upstairs to get something, but in fact he returned to his room and took out the "Relics of Emperor Roselle" that he had collected at the Mysticism Research Conference from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".

He returned to the first floor with the small metal box: "This is something I accidentally obtained before. It is said to be a relic of Emperor Roselle.

"It took me a long time to finally open it, and to my surprise, it contained two fighting styles I had never heard of!"

Conant was very surprised: "You, you mean, you learned fighting from Emperor Roselle."

Although Russell has been dead for over a hundred years, his influence still extends across the Raging Sea and the North and South Continents.

Odysseus smiled and nodded: "You can say that.

"Well, I did some divination, and the things recorded inside were indeed written by Emperor Roselle himself. And according to the records inside, there are twenty-one more small boxes like this."

He was essentially saying: This little box isn't rare, and it's not too hard to get, so the fact that Lelouch and I share similar fighting styles is just a coincidence.

Of course, if Conant later finds out that Lelouch and Odysseus’ fighting styles are similar, he will definitely still be suspected. After all, the official Beyonders are not so easy to fool. But he has to get through the current difficulties first.

Conant's surprise was quickly replaced by curiosity: "Can I see the Emperor's handwriting?"

If you are shy and don't know how to refuse others, you must open the box and let the other person take a look.

But Odysseus was thick-skinned enough. The key point was that he couldn't open the box, so he could only act: "This..."

Odysseus said with embarrassment, "Everyone, if you weren't official Beyonders, I wouldn't tell you this.

"I'm sorry, but these things are very valuable and I don't want others to see them."

After hearing what Odysseus said, Kangant didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he still glanced at one of his subordinates.

The subordinate had a sealed object that could be used for divination. When he saw the deacon looking over, he immediately nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed a relic of Emperor Roselle.

At this point, the "Made in Punishment" put aside all his doubts and said goodbye to Odysseus politely.

Odysseus watched the "Manufactured Punisher"'s carriage leave, and he muttered to himself: Even the most irritable and impatient "Manufactured Punisher" is not easy to fool.

As Odysseus continued to make dinner, he was also thinking about how to make up for his previous mistakes and how to make up for the lie he had spread tonight.

While finishing dinner, he also thought of a solution: he must open the iron box left by Russell and replace whatever was inside with Intisven's boxing manual.

Not only that, but they also add some simplified Chinese characters to confuse the audience.

As for how to open the iron box, Odysseus' first thought was to cooperate with the "Mysterious Queen", but such cooperation was full of uncertainty.

What if this eldest daughter of Russell confiscates the iron box? Who can I turn to for justice?
If the "Manufactured Punisher" comes to investigate again in the future, he can say that the iron box was taken away, but this is too coincidental and it will still be easy to arouse suspicion.

After thinking it over, Odysseus decided to try it himself in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" first, and if it didn't work, he would discuss it with the "Queen of Mystery".

After dinner, Odysseus returned to his bedroom, put the metal box back into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", and read a book for a while to digest the food in his stomach.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Odysseus went to bed early and used a specific "meditation" method to enter the "wilderness of knowledge".

Passing through a field of illusory light, we came to a tower made up of illusory light balls.

Odysseus sat in a chair, lost in thought as he stared at the metal box on the desk. He couldn't force it open; that would destroy the contents and easily damage the box...

Thinking of this, Odysseus suddenly realized: It’s not impossible to damage it!

So Odysseus quickly used the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to "copy" an iron box.

After becoming a "wizard", the simulation power of the "Knowledge Wilderness" has been enhanced, and it can already "copy" a real thing without any difference.

Although it looks somewhat illusory, it is real when you touch it with your hands.

Odysseus thought this ability was useless because he had to get the real thing to "copy" it. He always felt that if he had the real thing, there was not much point in copying it.

Moreover, the "copied" things can only be used in the "knowledge wilderness" and cannot be used outside.

But now he has changed his mind, and this ability is now very useful.

With the illusory yet substantial iron box in front of him, Odysseus opened it with brute force, and the mechanism inside was immediately triggered. Before Odysseus could completely open the box, a special liquid had already destroyed a piece of parchment inside that looked somewhat illusory.

Odysseus didn't care, but began to study the opened iron box carefully.

There was indeed a very sophisticated mechanism in the iron box, but Odysseus couldn't resist pondering it bit by bit, and soon he found the mechanism to open the iron box.

To be precise, it was not that the mechanism designed by Emperor Roselle was not clever enough. On the contrary, it was the most ingenious mechanism Odysseus had ever seen. If it were not for the designer of the iron box, no one would know how to open it safely.

However, no matter how ingenious the mechanism is, it cannot withstand constant trial and error and repeated scrutiny.

Odysseus "copied" another iron box. He picked up the iron box and looked at the lower left corner behind it.

This location is no different from other places, and there is no sign of any mechanism at all.

Odysseus pressed it once, but there was no response. Then he knocked twice, but there was still no response.

He did not rush to take further action because he knew the mechanism was there, but he needed to think about how to open it.

Odysseus thought that it was normal that there was no response when pressing or knocking. After all, no one knew whether the iron box would accidentally fall to the ground and there would happen to be a stone or something on the ground, which would trigger the mechanism.

Since pressing doesn't work, you can try pulling it out. So Odysseus used the "central simulator" in the room to simulate a tool with a suction cup, sucked it on the lower left corner, and pulled it hard.

Click~
Sure enough, the metal box was opened.

Odysseus quickly pushed the "copied" metal box aside and opened the real metal box in the same way.

He smiled slightly and took out the parchment inside.

Opening the parchment, it was a detailed hand-drawn map.

Although it is hand-painted, it is very delicate and looks like a product that has been calibrated many times and then printed.

The entire map was about the same size as the "World Map" in Odysseus's memory. There were simple strokes depicting mountains, rivers, dense forests, and a section of simplified Chinese characters!
It looks like this map was drawn by Russell himself.

Odysseus's eyes immediately swept over it, and it read:

This is a treasure I found before I became Archon. The clue to the treasure came from some information on the Black Throne.

It is said that the "Blood Emperor" is very crazy, but he also has moments of clarity.

In a lucid moment, he buried a vast treasure for the empire, the purpose of which is now unknown.

It turns out that not only the Solomon Empire and the Trunsoste Empire have treasures, but the Tudor Empire also has them.

Following this clue, I consulted a lot of information from the Tudor period, which eventually led me to find this treasure.

Haha, I was such a genius at that time. I actually found two imperial treasures within a few years.

But the problem is that this treasure is too rich, and my strength at that time was too weak, so I only took away a part of the seals in the treasure and buried the treasure again.

Later, in order to quickly increase the extraordinary power loyal to me, I went to the treasure house again and took away most of the seals there, but I did not touch the gold and silver. Because at that time I was already the ruler of Intis, the power made me gradually lose interest in money.

Moreover, under my wise leadership, Intis's financial situation remained strong even during the simultaneous wars with Loen and Feynaport.

But a few days ago, when I suddenly thought of this treasure, my spirit made a prediction: more than a hundred years later, a person with a similar experience to mine and a good relationship with my lovely daughter Bernadette will use the things in the treasure.

So if you can understand this text, then time travelers, don’t say that your time travelers didn’t take care of you.

If you can't understand Chinese, haha, I'll make you mad!
In addition, you should easily notice my daughter, because under my influence, her dress and thinking logic are completely different from this era.

If you knew her... Well, never mind, I won't tell you about Zaratul's prophecy about Bernadette.

Go, brave warrior, use my treasure to realize your personal value.
