Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 465 Blood Cultivators Openly Confront the Royal Family of Rune!

Backlund, East District.

"call"

It was early morning, and the temperature was still quite low. Hugh Deercha hurried along the street, her breath white as she exhaled from under her hood.

Following the coded message, she turned left and right, quickly disappearing into a secluded alley.

"what's up?"

The petite "sheriff" asked in a low voice.

Opposite her, a man wearing a gold mask appeared from around the corner.

"I have a new commission. See if you want to accept it." The man's steady voice came through the mask, sounding somewhat muffled.

"Another one about blood cultivators?"

Hugh frowned. "You're still investigating him?"

During this time, MI9 was frantically searching for the madman's whereabouts. Equally obsessed were the bounty hunters, eyeing the exorbitant reward. Both groups practically turned the entire Backlund upside down, yet still found no valuable clues, instead creating chaos in the underground extraordinary world.

Fors used this as an excuse to stay at home and not come out. If she continues to be lazy, she'll grow into the armchair!

Just as Xiu was inwardly complaining, he saw the golden-masked man opposite him shake his head.

"No, the Blood Monk is no longer in Backlund."

The latter's voice was clearly filled with resentment, "According to the latest intelligence, he has already appeared in the Sunia Sea."

"Sunia Sea?"

"Hmm, he's gotten himself into some serious trouble again. You'll see what it is in today's paper," the man in the gold mask said irritably. "Anyway, I have something else to discuss with you today."

He took a photograph from inside his robe and handed it to Hugh.

The photo shows a red-haired girl in a long court dress, with a noble and beautiful appearance.

"This is."

“The third princess of Fussac, Sofia Einhorn.”

The man in the golden mask said, "She has recently gone missing. If you find any information about her, contact me immediately. If the information is reliable, you will receive a reward of at least 1000 pounds."

£1000!
Hugh's heart skipped a beat.

It doesn't matter, since it involves a member of the royal family, but—

"What does the disappearance of Princess Fussac have to do with MI9?"

she couldn't help but ask.

"It's confidential, I can't tell you."

The man in the golden mask answered calmly.

Confidential?

Xiu frowned, his handsome brows furrowing as he glanced at the other person.

Golden Mask usually assigns her secret jobs, but he always provides some explanation. This is the first time he's told nothing at all.

"I understand, I'll keep that in mind."

She carefully put the photos away. "Is there anything else?"

After receiving a negative answer from the man in the golden mask, Hugh left the alley. Two questions lingered in her mind for a long time.

What did the Blood Cultivator do this time?
And what is the purpose of MI9's search for the missing princess?
Her first question was quickly resolved. "Breaking news! Breaking news! Blood Monks have appeared in the Sunia Sea, attacked the local government, and fled!"

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The Blood Monk is openly recruiting on Toscart Island, vowing to become pirates and fight against the Rune!"

At the morning market at the border of the East End and the Jowood district, newsboys waved newly printed newspapers and shouted messages. This shocking news, once revealed, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Give me one!"

A gentleman leaned out of the window of a passing carriage and called out.

"Sir, this is an urgent dispatch, it needs 2 pence more than usual."

"The money's right here, give it to me now!"

The man took out his money, picked up the newspaper, and eagerly began to read it.

Hugh noticed that as he quickly flipped through the pages, the man's expression grew increasingly shocked, and he muttered things like "Impossible," "Too crazy," and "Unbelievable."

What exactly did the newspaper say?
She couldn't help but become curious and wanted to buy a newspaper to read as well.

By this time, the two newsboys were surrounded by a dense crowd of curious onlookers. Hugh, with his disproportionately large strength, managed to push his way through the throng and successfully buy a newspaper.

The Backlund Post reported:

"Blood Cultivators Appear at Sea, Threatening to Form a Pirate Crew to Fight Against the Kingdom!"

According to this newspaper, a notorious criminal nicknamed "Blood Monk," who committed a serious crime of attacking the royal palace in Backlund, recently appeared in the Sunia Sea and attacked Toscate Island, the easternmost island in the sea.

According to the investigation, the 'Blood Monk' identified himself as Alexander Gascoigne. He, along with a former pirate hunter from the Misty Sea, launched a surprise attack on the island's government, resulting in numerous casualties and the local affairs officer falling into a coma.

In addition, Blood Monk Alexander Gascoigne plundered a large amount of cash from the island and recruited many pirates and rebels, declaring his intention to fight against the royal family.

Admiral Emilius Levitt of the Royal Navy publicly stated that the glorious Royal Navy would soon capture the arrogant 'Blood Monk' and bring him to trial.

As he read, his eyes involuntarily narrowed slightly.

The Blood Cultivator has indeed stirred up big trouble again!

This entire administrative region has been looted! No wonder that golden-masked guy looks so troubled!

The Sunya Sea, outside of normal shipping routes.

A fleet of ships is sailing at sea, with the lead three-masted sailing ship moving at a very high speed.

"The all-knowing and all-powerful Lord created everything and then went into slumber."

Inside the captain's cabin, Luze held some parchment and read aloud in a low voice, "After that, the Old Gods ruled the world."

"The Giant King Ormir, the 'Dragon of Imagination' Angorweid, the Elf King Suniasolem, the progenitor of vampires Lilith, the Demon King Fabti, the progenitor of the phoenix Gregari, the alien king Kvasitun, and the wolf king Fregra, divided the power left by the Lord and became the gods who rule the sky, the earth, and the sea, the reality, the spirit world, and the astral world, and the gods of all races, the true gods, the ancient gods."

After reading through these lengthy names, he paused, then muttered to himself, "The legends of Silver City are different from the sacred texts of the Seven Gods of the Northern Continent."

What he held in his hand was a book about the mythological era, transmitted by the Sun through Mr. Fool.

In the sacred texts of the Seven Gods, the myth concerning creation is relatively simple. It merely states that the Creator awoke from chaos, broke through the darkness, created the first ray of light, and then completely merged into the universe, becoming all things. All demons, gods, the earth, and mountains are creations of Him.

"Medici, which of these two statements is more consistent with the facts?"

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke up and asked the red angel residing in his body.

This angel comes from a much more ancient era and should know more.

"."

Medici did not answer.
