Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 276 Just cleared out an Aurora Society stronghold
"Do you have the Black Knight's recipe?"

Lu Ze had already given up hope, but the tall young man codenamed "Sun" gave him an unexpected surprise.

"It's not me, uh."

The Sun appears slightly hesitant.

"Just tell me if you have any questions."

Lu Ze said bluntly.

“Actually, this recipe belongs to an elder in our Silver City,” [Sun] said. “She is a Sequence 5 Shepherd.”

This was actually a topic he planned to share during the free discussion session—Elder Lovia, who was suspected of having converted to the true Creator, was released from the bottom of the round tower where she was imprisoned. Firstly, after seven days, it was confirmed that she hadn't lost control; secondly, she had contributed a Sequence 4 potion recipe to Silver City.

—It was a Black Knight's potion recipe, which happened to be from her own path. According to her, it was discovered "accidentally."

"shepherd?"

Lu Ze's tone turned slightly colder, "Is she a follower of the true Creator?"

"should be"

"The Sun," Derrick said.

"That's it."

Lu Ze thought for a moment, then asked, "Where is your Silver City?"

Since he's a believer in a true creator, that makes things easier. Just kill him and take the formula. However, with his current geographical knowledge, he's never heard of "Silver City," let alone knows where it is.

"I'm sorry, you probably can't reach the area where Silver City is located."

"The Sun," Derrick said sincerely.

"Can't go? Why?"

Lu Ze couldn't help but ask.

"Because Silver City is located in the 'Land Forsaken by God'."

Alger, the Hanged Man, added in a low voice.

A land forsaken by God?

Russell's diary seemed to mention Luzer, who vaguely recalled that the title was mentioned in the three diaries kept by Blackthorn Security Company, but he didn't know any more detailed information.

From what they said, it was a place that couldn't connect with this world. Could it really be as the words described, that the land was abandoned by the gods? Yet Mr. Fool was able to pull the people from that place onto the gray fog.
This "Sun" has a very unique background. Indeed, the members of the Tarot Club are not so simple. Although their rank is a bit low, each of them probably has their own special characteristics.
Lu Ze pondered for a moment and did not ask any further questions.

A brief silence fell over the Tarot gathering. Aside from the Magician and The World, who had already requested materials, no one else seemed inclined to buy recipes or ingredients. The Sun appeared preoccupied, the Hanged Man remained cautious, while Justice had joined the Psychological Alchemy Society, from which the relevant recipes and potions could be obtained.

"Oh, right, you can sell things here too, right?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Ze raised his head again.

"Yes, Mr. Temperance, do you have anything to sell?"

[Justice] Audrey answered his question with a strong sense of ownership and asked with a smile.

“Perfect timing, I have a batch of extraordinary properties that I need to sell.”

Lu Ze said.

Purchasing Sequence 4 potions and main ingredients would be extremely expensive, and although he already had 8000 pounds in cash, it was still far from enough. He planned to sell some unnecessary materials and attributes, but selling these items in Backlund would be too conspicuous and attract excessive attention.

Audrey's smile faltered for a moment.

A batch? She tilted her head, repeating the question in her mind in confusion.

When can we describe such a precious material with extraordinary properties as being available in "batch"?
"Mr. Temperance, what are your extraordinary characteristics?"

she asked subconsciously.

"Sequence 6: one copy each of the Judge and Demon extraordinary traits, two copies of the Rose Bishop extraordinary trait. Hmm," Lu Ze recalled for a moment, then continued, "Also, one copy of the Psychiatrist extraordinary trait for Sequence 7, four copies of the Hermit trait, six copies of the Listener extraordinary trait for Sequence 8, and more than ten copies of the Mystic extraordinary trait for Sequence 9."

The psychiatrist's extraordinary traits come from the shattered mirror, the judge from Horace, and the demon from Mr. A's herding lambs, and the one he repeats. As for the complete set of Mystic Path extraordinary traits, they naturally come from the selfless dedication of the members of the Backlund Aurora Order.

As Lu Ze tallied his inventory, he spoke. He was so focused on the inventory that he didn't notice the gray fog gradually fading into a deathly silence as he explained.

这也太多了吧
Where did you get so many extraordinary traits from Temperance?
For a moment, everyone was stunned and speechless. Even Klein, who was very familiar with Luze, was somewhat surprised. He only knew that Luze had killed many extraordinary individuals and acquired a lot of things, but when these were actually put into specific numbers, they seemed unreal.

Of all the people, Alger the Hanged Man was the first to notice the problem.

How come the Mystic Path has so many extraordinary characteristics? And they're present in almost half of the sequence from top to bottom!
“I’ve noticed that you have many of the characteristics of the Mystic Path.”

he asked.

After observing him secretly, Alger gained some understanding of Mr. Temperance's temperament and knew that the other party disliked beating around the bush, so he asked directly.

"Oh, it's nothing. I raided an Aurora Society stronghold and killed all their members," Lu Ze said casually, as if he were talking about eating and drinking.

"Therefore, the extraordinary traits related to the Mystic are all extracted from members of the Aurora Society. You should know the relationship between potions and traits, right? They can be basically equivalent to two main potion ingredients of the corresponding sequence."

He sensed that the other members had become somewhat quiet, and then introduced them in this way.

"We know that Mr. Fool has already taught us."

Audrey nodded blankly.

This new member has already shocked everyone so much that she's become somewhat numb to it.

"Good to know. So, anyone interested in buying it?"

Lu Ze looked around and asked, "I won't raise the price; we'll go for the market price."

He had roughly calculated that if he sold all his belongings, the total price would be around £26000. Of course, it wouldn't be that easy to sell them all.

As Lu Ze expected, while everyone was shocked, no one took the initiative to make a purchase.

Although extraordinary traits like Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 are valuable, I have no use for them even if I buy them.
"Justice," Audrey thought with deep regret.

Suddenly, she heard the Hanged Man speak.

"You spoke too quickly just now. Could you list out the specific characteristics?"

"can."

Lu Ze nodded, then stared blankly at the table in front of him for a moment.

There was no paper or pen.
"You can visualize the corresponding object and description simply by imagining paper and 'expressing' the idea in your mind."

Alger reminded him.

This is truly the divine kingdom of Mr. Fool.

Luze readily agreed and quickly materialized the list of traits, which he then passed on to Alger.
