Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 348 Harvest and Return

Soloar left quite decisively, simply bowing his head before disappearing from his possessed target. Luze had wanted to ask him about the special features of his body, but the other party didn't give him the chance at all.

Or, to put it another way, Zoroah might have guessed that Luze might ask a question, so he left immediately after achieving his goal.

Who are you? Where is this place?

The bewildered middle-aged gentleman cried out in panic. He became even more uneasy after looking around and realizing he was in a dark tomb.

The powerful being that had been lurking within him had departed; he was now merely a Sequence 6 Extraordinary. It was perfectly reasonable for him to feel confused and terrified about his current situation.

"Enough, be quiet."

Lu Ze found him noisy and gave him a direct order.

M's figure appeared behind him, his golden eyes shining brightly, reflected in the middle-aged gentleman's eyes. The gentleman then stood quietly, saying nothing more.

"Take this and leave here, go home."

Lu Ze turned around, picked up an extraordinary attribute from the ground, and threw it into his arms. "Forget what we look like, and forget what happened today."

"it is good"

The middle-aged man mumbled incoherently, then left the tomb clutching his special ability. When he regained his senses, he would likely be bewildered by his gains, but that would be irrelevant to Lu Ze and the others.

As for the unfortunate Best, he's already dead, so there's no need to share with him.

"I said, you should choose your teammates more carefully next time."

As the other person's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, Lu Ze turned to Sharon and said.

Amon's tomb is indeed dangerous, but to be honest, the most dangerous factor in this exploration was the companions. A demigod with ill intentions, and an even more dangerous and unpredictable high-sequence powerhouse. Their terrifying nature goes without saying.

".Um."

Sharon nodded in agreement.

The two gathered the extraordinary properties scattered on the ground, and also searched the pockets of the dead, piling up the valuables. Although the exploration was extremely dangerous, taking stock of the spoils always brought a sense of satisfaction.

In summary, the spoils can be divided into three parts: the extraordinary traits and items extracted by the explorer, three large diamond-shaped human skin shadow traits, and a peculiar picture frame with a portrait of Amon.

Among them, the explorers' trait sequences are generally low, with a maximum of only sequence 6, and most of the extraordinary items are also at this level. Although they do have some effects, they are not very useful to Luze at the moment. Only the picture frame has powerful abilities and is the most precious.

"How to divide?"

Luze asked Sharon.

“I provided the graveyard location and organized the exploration. But I also chose the wrong teammates, so my share should be reduced,” Sharon said calmly. “You contributed more than me, so your share should be increased.”

"You have 70% of the shares, and you can choose first."

It seems she was not swayed by the large number of valuable items and maintained a restrained attitude.

"Very fair."

Lu Ze didn't stand on ceremony with her and directly reached out and took the picture frame.

"This counts as 40%, and the rest we'll split 30/30, evenly."

He put the picture frame away and said.

"can."

Sharon had no objection to this.

The two roughly divided the remaining items equally. Luze kept two copies of the Human Skin Shadow's properties and several powerful extraordinary items. He gave the rest of his share to Sharon, who would exchange them for gold pounds at various gatherings.

After carefully cleaning up the remaining traces, the two left the tomb. The moon was gradually setting in the west, and it was almost late at night. The surface of the Stratford River shimmered with a dim, crimson light, and made a rushing sound. The towering white cliffs, bathed in the moonlight, appeared majestic and imposing.

Leaving the dark and terrifying tomb, the beautiful scenery before them made the two feel as if they had returned to the human world.

How can I contact you afterwards?

After admiring the natural scenery for a few seconds, Lu Ze came back to his senses and asked a question.

"The demigod of the 'Rose School' has returned to Backlund, so it's best not to contact him anytime soon," Sharon replied. "If it's really urgent, you can show up at the 'Brave One's' bar."

"Is it enough to just show your face?"

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on that place secretly and contact you later."

"understood."

Lu Ze nodded.

Tonight's haul was indeed plentiful. The properties of the Human Skin Shadow can be sold to [The World] at the Tarot Meeting, and the Amon picture frame is even more powerful and extremely valuable.

The place abandoned by God, Silver City.

Lightning occasionally ripped through the dark sky, briefly illuminating the landscape. On the dark and endless earth, a city stood silently, radiating its own unique light.

Derrick walked down the city street with his head down.

"Derrick, is the observation period over?"

"Hey Derrick, I heard about that. You did a great job!"

People on the street greeted him warmly when they saw him.

"Thanks."

Derrick replied somewhat reservedly, seemingly unaccustomed to people's attitude.

His sudden rise to some fame is related to this exploration.

Upon returning to the city-state, the exploration team finally discovered the anomaly in time. Based on the deductions of Chief Colin and other experienced and knowledgeable elders, they roughly guessed that it was related to the "Fate Reversal" ability of the "Angel of Fate," Urelius.

The squad had endured a great deal of repetition, and without Derrick's warning, they might have been trapped in that temple for a long time, possibly even wiped out. Derrick's contribution was significant and was unanimously recognized by his teammates afterward.

This exploration itself attracted the attention of the entire city. After the team returned, the events that had occurred were quickly found out by busybodies and gradually spread.

Thanks to them, Derrick, an ordinary team member who was previously ignored, suddenly became known to more people.

[The Hanged Man] Sir, will this allow me to gradually build connections?
Derrick thought to himself.

He continued onward and arrived at the center of Silver City, where a round tower stood. This tower symbolized the highest power in Silver City; the Council of Six operated from here, and numerous secret facilities and locations lay beneath it.

"I'm here to see the chief."

Upon arriving at the gate of the Round Tower, Derrick spoke directly to the extraordinary one on duty.

"Go up."

The latter, as if he had expected it, stepped aside to let the guards through the door, saying, "The Chief is waiting for you upstairs."

Just as Mr. Temperance said, His Excellency already knew about my unusual behavior.
Derrick thought to himself as he pushed open the door.
