When Viscount Wade heard that the wizard wanted to solve his problem, he got up from his chair and listened attentively to what Odis had to say.
"Seal off Bishop's room immediately!" Odis said. "Seal it off for at least a week."
"During this week, no one should mention or write Bishop's name, nor do anything related to Bishop."
"Just pretend you don't know him!"
Viscount Veder and his servants were stunned, but then they realized that they had never encountered such a "mysterious evil being" before, had no experience in dealing with such things, and did not know how to solve this problem.
The only one who had seen some of the world was Bivis, who was deeply in doubt and did not raise any questions for the time being.
Viscount Wade was convinced: "Alright, we'll blockade it immediately."
Previously, Odis used the "Sight Extension Array" to guide Viscount Vader's vision to find which family member's room had a problem, in order to deepen Viscount Vader's trust in him.
Even if Viscount Veder himself had gone along, it wouldn't have had such a good effect.
As for the will-o'-the-wisp found in Bishop's room, it was actually a modification of the "Flame Spell." Odis added "Emerald Skull Flower" powder to the required powder, so the flame was green, much like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Then Viscount Wade asked, "Um... excuse me, is finding Bishop's killer considered something related to Bishop?"
He also believes that the person who set the fire last night and the person who administered the laxative this morning were accomplices of the murderer!
However, the "person who took the punishment" did not seem to take the matter seriously.
"This is something that only people outside the Vader family can do; you can't interfere." This was Odis's main point: "Just pretend you don't know anything about it."
At this moment, Bivis asked the question that had been on everyone's mind: "Why do this?"
Odis was waiting for someone to ask a question, and he said calmly, "Because the underworld and the real world are often connected by a certain concept."
"For example, ordinary evil spirits are supported by a certain thought. In fact, that thought temporarily connects the underworld and the real world, creating an environment for the evil spirit to exist in the real world."
"Bishop's situation is a little more complicated, but as long as you don't mention him for a week and treat him as if he never existed, the concept that connects the two worlds will disappear, and that evil, mysterious being will no longer be able to see this place through the concept that Bishop left behind."
Bivis listened in a daze, feeling that what the wizard was saying was some kind of advanced and extraordinary knowledge, but at the same time, he felt that something seemed a little off.
Viscount Wiede trusted what Odis said and immediately ordered Bishop's room to be sealed off, and for the next week, no one was to mention his name.
As for urging the police and "scapegoats" to find the murderer and to retaliate against that despicable reporter, we'll talk about that in a week.
Odis added, "The misfortune brought by that being is not over yet; we must proceed with caution in the near future."
Viscount Wade quickly replied, "Yes."
After watching the servants clean up the magic circle on the floor, Odis bid farewell to Viscount Vede and his family.
Viscount Wade tried his best to persuade the wizard to stay, hoping that he could wait until the family had overcome its current misfortune before leaving.
But Odis insisted that she had very important matters to attend to and refused to leave.
Viscount Wade quickly had his butler bring a stack of gold pounds, begging the wizard to accept them no matter what.
Odis took five of them: "It was fate that arranged for me to help you, so I can't accept your money. But since you are so sincere in giving, I will accept a few as a gift from fate."
Having said that, Odis leaned on his cane and strode out.
Viscount Wade quickly chased after him, asking, "May I ask how I should address you?"
"Gandalf!" Odysse blurted out the name of a wizard.
Viscount Wiede then asked, "If I need your help, where can I find you?"
"Let fate decide!" With that, Odis flung out "flying powder" and flew out of the villa in the blink of an eye.
After the wizard had walked away, Viscount Wade asked Bivis, "Have you heard of this name?"
Bivis replied, "No."
Viscount Veder then asked, "By which pathway did he become an Extraordinary?"
"He's somewhat like an extraordinary individual who has passed through the 'Hidden Ones' pathway, but not quite," Bivis said. "He always talks about fate, as if he were someone from the 'Life School'?"
"Indeed a mysterious wizard," Viscount Wade remarked. "He's truly unfathomable."
Bivis opened his mouth, as if to say something more, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
He also sensed that this wizard named Gandalf harbored many secrets.
...
After Odis "flew" out of Viscount Ved's house, he walked a short distance and, after making sure no one was following him, boarded a taxi.
He took a taxi to the dock area, got off, removed his beard, wizard's robe and pointed hat from an abandoned factory, and put them, along with his staff, into the "Wilderness of Knowledge".
Afterwards, Odis, wearing a baseball cap with a long brim, boarded a public carriage and later a taxi.
Reporter Mike should be safe for the next week and need not worry about this matter anymore.
At the same time, Odis also thought that after Mike returned to work at the newspaper, she could send him "The Fighting Manual" and ask the reporter to recommend it to the publisher in Lelouch's name.
But that's at least next week, and the radicals in Ruen's political circles have started attacking the conservatives with Bishop's case. Viscount Wied doesn't have time to make things difficult for Mike anymore.
Odis did not go to the herbalist shop, but went straight home.
He stopped the horse-drawn carriage on the street, got off, bought a bowl of seafood pasta from Fenneport, and also bought a copy of the Ruhnn Evening Post from the newsboy.
Back home, I ate my meal while reading the newspaper.
Today's newspapers have begun to devote a lot of space to the fighting arena and Bishop, and reporters seem to have noticed that Lelouch is a key figure in the incident. The Ruen Evening News has already published a report about Lelouch.
Odis quickly finished his noodles. He glanced at the newspaper and felt that Lelouch was a positive character.
Just as she was about to get up to wash the dishes, Odis suddenly looked up and gazed towards the living room.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The house was fairly bright under the light from the gas and other sources.
But it was too quiet; the furniture just sat there silently, and it didn't seem very lively.
Odis took a deep breath; when she was busy, she always thought about taking a break.
Now that I have some time to rest, I'm starting to feel lonely again.
He smiled, washed the dishes, sat down at his desk in the bedroom, and began to review his performance that day.
But I could never calm down, so I picked up a piece of paper and wrote: Are you there?
After waiting for two or three minutes without receiving a reply from Bernadette, Odis picked up a book and started flipping through it.
About half an hour later, a short sentence appeared on the book Odis was reading: I have arrived.
Odis did not speak immediately, but wrote on the paper: I may be being watched.
"It's not just a possibility, someone is definitely watching you." Bernadette's voice echoed in the air: "On a rooftop two streets away, there's a seal shaped like a telescope."
"However, with the curtains blocking the view, he could only see a blurry figure, not your specific actions, and could not hear our voices."
Odis, however, remained vigilant: "Is there any high-level surveillance here?"
Bernadette paused for two or three seconds before saying, "No."
Odis trusted the judgment of the "Mysterious Queen" more. The path of the "Secret Seeker" was highly spiritual. At Bernadette's level, if there were gods watching this place, even if she didn't know who was watching, she would definitely be able to sense it.
Odis breathed a sigh of relief, confirming his earlier guess.
The God of Steam and Machinery couldn't possibly be watching him all the time. He must have left a special mark on him, which would attract the attention of the God of Steam and Machinery when he was promoted or went to a special place.
This is somewhat like a mark left by the Goddess of Night on Klein. Normally, it wouldn't have any effect on Klein, but when Klein went to the tomb with the unique "Death God" pathway, the Goddess of Night suddenly descended.
Bernadette asked, "The people monitoring you seem to be members of the 'Mechanical Heart' team. What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
"Perhaps my research has caught the attention of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery," Odis said, feigning uncertainty. "They probably don't believe that it was my research."
Bernadette nodded slowly. In her opinion, as long as the people of the Steam Church weren't blind, they would notice Odis's research sooner or later.
Odis did not continue the topic: "I wrote to Aya a week ago, asking her to complete the transaction, but she has not shown up yet."
Bernadette replied, "We've been quite busy lately, but we'll complete the transaction by next week at the latest."
"I just received news that an extraordinary battle took place on Rice Street last Saturday, and it seems that the abilities of a 'astrologer' were involved," Odis added.
"That was an internal conflict within the 'Morse Order,' they argued about something," Bernadette said. "I didn't expect them to be back so soon."
Odis recalled the "Roselle Diary" he had seen before, and how some members of the "Morse Penitentiary" were suspected of being influenced by an evil god.
So he pressed further, "What about it?"
"I'm not entirely sure myself right now, but I know that some members want to steal something from the 'Night Watchers,' while others are unwilling to take the risk." Bernadette is also investigating the matter.
"They actually dared to rob me…" Odis suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, could they be investigating the 'Night Watchers'?"
Knock knock knock~
Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door downstairs.
