Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 371 The Black Cat's Divination Results

event?

Is the big event Mr. Fool speaks of a good thing or a bad thing? No, if it were a good thing, there would be no need for such a serious reminder. It can only be a bad thing, and a serious event that would attract the attention of a deity!

Lu Ze thought for a moment and quickly came up with an answer.

The others present probably shared similar thoughts, each adopting a stern demeanor.

"Actually, I've had a premonition lately."

Suddenly, he heard the usually silent "World" speak, "It seems some great calamity is about to befall Backlund."

This statement seems to confirm his own conclusion.

“Dear Mr. Fool.”

[World] not only said this to the other members, but even risked bowing to the being at the head of the group, "Many of your followers are in Backlund. Do you know the core of this crisis?"

[World], you're too brave! Aren't you afraid of upsetting Mr. Fool? But honestly, I'd like to know too.
Lu Ze thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to him, this entire conversation was a charade orchestrated by Klein himself. While manipulating the [World] puppet, Klein maintained his own enigmatic demeanor, casually uttering a name:
"Edessa Augustus".

During his investigation into Talim's death, he gradually discovered some unusual circumstances. For example, he seemed to be encountering some coincidences that hindered his investigation; one of the prince's female companions seemed very strange, as the ring on her hand matched the ornament worn by the person who cursed Talim.

The former made Klein suspect that he was once again manipulated by 0-08, while the latter gave him the chills of when he first encountered the evil god. Regardless of which it was, it instilled in him a strong sense of crisis.

However, fearing discovery by 0-08, he dared not report to the three major churches in reality, nor contact Lu Ze, for fear of being "eliminated" before he could report it. He could only subtly warn everyone from above the gray fog that kept them from prying eyes.

Your Highness the Third Prince?
Is he involved in some major event that is about to happen?

Audrey forgot her sadness at that moment and immediately became extremely worried.

She immediately connected this to the recent unusual behavior of the third prince, Edsack—his ceasing to pursue her and becoming quite distant. She had initially thought this was a good thing, but now it seemed there was more to the story.

The disaster that could attract Mr. Fool's attention must be extremely serious, like the descent of an evil god or the murder of Duke Negan. I must find an opportunity to investigate this. I can indirectly inquire about my father's situation through him, but I must remain restrained and not let him think that I want to become a princess.
Thinking of this, a sense of responsibility welled up in her heart.

Constance has passed away, and I cannot let more people experience such a tragedy!

Audrey's gaze gradually hardened, sweeping away her previous gloomy mood.

Meanwhile, Fors the Magician and Alger the Hanged Man also realized the seriousness of the situation and reacted accordingly. Fors planned to investigate through his two noble friends, while Alger used his persuasive skills to urge the members in Backlund to actively investigate. Only the Sun, in the "Forsaken Land," remained bewildered and unable to join the conversation.

[Moderation] Lu Ze lowered his head and remained silent, offering no comment.

Lu Ze, be careful.
Behind the long table, Klein looked at his fellow countryman, a transmigrator, with a complicated expression.

Klein could only remind the other party in this way that as a "blood cultivator" who was being watched by many forces, Lu Ze had probably already been noticed. Rashly contacting him in reality would only expose their relationship and lead to a bad ending for both of them.

Of course, Klein could have used the gray fog to explain things more clearly. But that would have exposed his own presence in the Tarot Club, and he really didn't want to keep being exposed like that unless absolutely necessary.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

With these concerns in mind, Klein ended the tarot session.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Whoosh—" A crimson light flashed before Lu Ze's eyes. His virtual personality shattered as it returned, injecting pure memories into his mind. He endured the headache caused by the influx of information and slowly processed the events of today's Tarot gathering.

There is also free exchange during the transaction process.
Well, Mr. Fool believes that a terrible crisis is about to occur in Backlund!
I had the same feeling!
A series of major events have occurred recently, and behind the scenes, a mysterious organization is secretly plotting something.
He shook his head, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Fortunately, the Queen has returned, and being able to contact her puts his mind at ease. Miss Sharon's appointment time is tomorrow night, and he feels increasingly necessary to meet with that powerful figure.

Even so, we must leave Backlund as soon as we have finished digesting the food!

The Shepherd's potion was almost finished, and the Aurora Society had long been wiped out. There was no point in staying in Backlund any longer. It was a good opportunity to leave, find a new place, and seek opportunities for advancement.

Well, Mr. A, who herds his own sheep, possesses the ability to "travel" and can leave at any time. But his lambs cannot, and he has developed feelings for them during this time of playing the role. He certainly cannot abandon these pitiful, helpless people after digesting the potion.

We need to consider how to arrange them.
Luze thought to himself that he could leave, but the herd had to be maintained. He could stop expanding first, and then gradually disperse the members, finding them a stable way out.

Besides this, he also had to find a way to remind Klein not to run around recklessly recently and not to get involved in the incident.

"Meow~"

As if sensing his heavy thoughts, Luna, who was nestled in his lap, propped herself up and called out to him.

"We'll probably have to move."

Lu Ze said to the black cat with a smile.

"Meow?"

Luna swished her tail back and forth, tilting her head to look at him, unsure if she understood what he meant.

"Hmm, we haven't decided where to go yet. Oh, right!"

Luze put the cat down, turned around, took down a map of the entire territory of Rune from the wall, and spread it out on the table.

"Come here, Luna."

He reached out and dragged the cat onto the table. "Aren't you good at fortune telling? Quickly tell me my fortune and see where my future promotion opportunities lie."

The black cat, like a pool of liquid, was stretched out by him and placed on the table.

It looked at Luze with its azure eyes.

"Quickly, let's do a divination?"

Lu Ze laughed.

He was serious to some extent in doing this. Of course, he wouldn't accept a completely unreliable answer from Luna.

"Meow"

Luna seemed to understand him. Her eyes quickly turned black, and her tail swayed as she circled the map. With a "thud," she jumped into the map and landed in one of the areas.

Lu Ze looked down and saw that there was a blue expanse beneath its feet.

Sunya Sea.
