Connor, the "Substitute Punisher," posed a seemingly ordinary question, but it was actually quite difficult to answer.
Odis realized that he seemed to have considered all the issues, but he had missed a crucial one: he had used Bajiquan in a fight club.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, he didn't intend to destroy the fighting arena on King's Road at the time; he was only focused on honing his fighting skills, so he didn't pay attention to such things.
If Connor were to go to the Fight Club to investigate, he would soon discover that the fighting techniques Odis used there were very similar to Lelouch's.

But Odis had not made any prior preparations, and if he lied hastily, he might be exposed.
Actually, Connor didn't mean anything by it. Since he had come all this way, he naturally wanted to ask all the questions he had prepared.
After asking the question, he looked at Odis quietly, waiting for her reply.
At the crucial moment, Odis's enhanced intellect after his advancement came in a great way, and he said without hesitation, "This...this, well, how should I put it, you have to keep it a secret for me."
At this point, even saying something pointless is better than hesitating, at least it won't immediately arouse suspicion.
At the same time, his brain was racing, trying to find a reasonable answer to the question.
Connor didn't think much of it, after all, Odis already had enough alibis, and to him, a nobleman wouldn't lie because of a herbalist.
He smiled and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be kept secret?"
"Hahaha..." Odis used laughter to cover up his lie, and then he said again, "I will tell you, but you must keep it a secret for me."
Since the question had been asked, Connor naturally replied, "No problem."
"Wait a moment." Odis pretended to go upstairs to get something, but actually went back to his room and took out the "Relics of Emperor Roselle" that he had collected at the Mysticism Research Conference earlier from the "Wilderness of Knowledge".
He took the small metal box back to the first floor: "This is something I obtained by chance 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 before!"
Connor was very surprised: "You, you mean, you learned fighting from Emperor Roselle."
Although Roselle has been dead for over a hundred years, his influence still extends throughout the Raging Sea and the northern and southern continents.
Odis smiled and nodded: "You could say that."
"Yes, I did a divination, and what was recorded inside was indeed written by Emperor Roselle himself. Moreover, according to the contents, there are twenty-one more such small boxes."
He was essentially saying: This little box isn't rare, and it's not too hard to get, so it's just a coincidence that my fighting style is similar to Lelouch's.
Of course, if Connor later discovers that Lelouch and Odis have similar fighting styles, he will definitely be suspected. After all, official Extraordinary users are not so easily fooled. But let's get through this immediate challenge first.
Connor's surprise was quickly replaced by curiosity: "May I have a glimpse of the Emperor's handwriting?"
If you're shy and don't know how to refuse others, you'll definitely have to open the box and let the other person take a look.
But Odis was thick-skinned enough, and more importantly, he couldn't open the box, so he could only act: "This..."
Odis looked troubled and said, "Gentlemen, I would not have told you this if you were not official extraordinary individuals."
"I'm sorry, these things are very precious, and I don't want others to see them."
After Odis said that, Conant didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he still glanced at one of his subordinates.
The subordinate carried a sealed artifact that could be used for divination. When the steward looked over, the subordinate immediately nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed a relic of Emperor Roselle.
At this point, the "punisher" put aside all his doubts and politely took his leave of Odis.
As Odis watched the carriage of the "Punisher" depart, he thought to himself: Even the most irritable and impatient "Punisher" is not easy to fool.
As Odis continued preparing dinner, she pondered how to cover up her previous mistake and how to explain the lie she had told that evening.
While preparing dinner, he also came up with a plan: he had to open the iron box left by Russell and replace whatever was inside with Intisvin's boxing manual.
Not only that, but they also need to add some simplified Chinese characters to confuse the public.
As for how to open the iron box, Odis's first thought was to cooperate with the "mysterious queen," but such cooperation was fraught with uncertainty.
If Russell's eldest daughter confiscates the tin box, who can we complain to?
If the "person who took the punishment" investigates again later, they can say that the metal box was stolen, but that would be too coincidental and would still easily arouse suspicion.
After some thought, Odis decided to try it out herself in the "Wilderness of Knowledge" first, and if that didn't work, she would then discuss it with the "Mysterious Queen".
After dinner, Odis returned to her bedroom, put the metal box back into the "wilderness of knowledge," and read for a while to digest her food.
Around 10 p.m., Odis went to bed early and entered the "wilderness of knowledge" using a specific "meditation" method.
After passing through a field of illusory light, we arrived at a tower made up of illusory orbs of light.
Odis sat in his chair, staring at the metal box on his desk, lost in thought.
You can't open it by force; doing so will destroy the contents and easily damage the metal box...
Thinking about this, Odis suddenly realized: It's not that it can't be damaged!
So Odis quickly used the power of the "wilderness of knowledge" to "copy" an iron box.
After becoming a "wizard", the power of the "wilderness of knowledge" simulation has been enhanced, and it can now "copy" a real-world object with perfect accuracy.
Although it looks somewhat illusory, it is actually solid when you touch it.
Odis thought this ability was somewhat useless, because one had to obtain the physical object to "copy" it. He had always felt that if one had the physical object, the copying would not be very meaningful.
Moreover, the copied content can only be used in the "knowledge wilderness" and cannot be used elsewhere.
But now he has changed his mind, and this ability is now very useful.
When the illusory yet substantial iron box was placed before him, Odis used brute force to open it. The mechanism inside was immediately triggered. Before Odis could completely open the box, a special liquid destroyed a piece of parchment inside that looked somewhat illusory.
Odis paid no attention to it and began to examine the disassembled iron box in detail.
There was indeed a very ingenious mechanism inside the iron box, but Odis, after careful examination, soon found the mechanism to open it.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
To be precise, it wasn't that the mechanism designed by Emperor Roselle was ingenious; on the contrary, it was the most ingenious mechanism Odis had ever seen. It's estimated that if it weren't for the designer of the iron box, no one would know how to safely open it.
However, even the most ingenious mechanisms cannot withstand continuous trial and error and repeated refinement.
Odis "copied" another iron box. He picked it up and looked at the lower left corner behind it.
This location is no different from other places; there is no indication of any hidden mechanisms.
Odis pressed the button once, but there was no response. He then tapped it twice more, but still no response.
He didn't rush to take further action because he knew the mechanism was there, but he needed to consider how to open it.
Odis thought that it was normal that pressing and knocking had no effect, since no one knew if the iron box might accidentally fall to the ground and there might be a stone or something on the ground that would trigger the mechanism.
Since pressing didn't work, they tried pulling it outwards. So Odis used the "central simulator" in the room to create a tool with a suction cup, which he then used to attach it to the lower left corner and pulled hard.

Sure enough, the metal box was opened.
Odis quickly pushed the "copy" metal box aside and opened the real metal box in the same way.
He smiled slightly and took out the parchment inside.
Unfold the parchment; it contains a detailed hand-drawn map.
Although it is hand-drawn, it is very exquisite and looks like a product that has been calibrated multiple times and then printed.
The map is about the size of the world map that Odis remembered, with simple strokes depicting mountains and dense forests, as well as a passage of simplified Chinese characters!
It looks like the map was drawn by Roselle himself.
Odis's gaze immediately swept over it, where it read:
This is a treasure I found before I became consul. The clues to the treasure came from some documents on the "Black Throne".
It is said that the "Blood Emperor" was extremely insane, but he also had moments of lucidity.
In a moment of lucidity, 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 Trenforst Empire had treasures, but the Tudor Empire did too.
Following this clue, I consulted many documents from the Tudor period, which eventually led me to this treasure.
Haha, I was a genius back then, finding two imperial treasures within a few years.
The problem was that the treasure was too rich, and my strength was too weak at the time, so I only took a portion of the sealed artifacts and buried the treasure again.
Later, in order to quickly enhance the extraordinary power that was loyal to me, I went to the treasure again and took most of the sealed artifacts there, but I did not touch the gold and silver, because by then I was already the ruler of Intis, and power gradually made me lose interest in money.
Moreover, under my wise leadership, Intis's financial situation remained sound even during the simultaneous wars between Rune and Fenneport.
But a few days ago, when I suddenly thought of this treasure, my spirit made a prophecy: more than a hundred years from now, someone who has had a similar experience to me and has a good relationship with my lovely daughter Bernadette will use the things in the treasure.
So if you can understand this text, then you time traveler, don't say your time travel predecessors didn't take care of you.
If you can't read Chinese, haha, you'll be so mad!
In addition, you should easily notice my daughter, because under my influence, her dress and way of thinking are completely different from those of this era.
If you know her... well, never mind, I won't go into Zarathustra's prophecy about Bernadette.
Go forth, valiant warrior, and realize your personal worth with my treasure.
