Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 473 He really became a demigod!
"I can't do it."

Alger, the Hanged Man, responded decisively, “That craftsman is only at Sequence 6 level, and he is completely incapable of handling extraordinary materials of demigod level. Even if there were a one in ten thousand chance that he could successfully make it, it would be difficult to use due to the severe side effects.”

"OK then."

Lu Ze hadn't held out much hope; he was just asking casually.

Let's keep it for now and consult the Queen later. She has so many extraordinary items in her treasury, and her own father is a high-level extraordinary individual through the craftsman pathway, so he must know some reliable craftsmen.

"Mr. Temperance, are you sure this demigod is from the Psychological Alchemy Society?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Audrey, the "Justice," finally composed herself and asked seriously.

"At least that's what he said."

Lu Ze replied calmly, "Moreover, the various signs he exhibited also match those of the higher-ups in the Psychological Alchemy Society that I had met before."

Whether it's the president of the Psychological Alchemy Society or the high-ranking members of the council, this organization seems to harbor malice towards him. Perhaps the reason for all this is related to the existence that is watching him from behind the scenes.

".OK."

[Justice] Audrey sensed the emotion in Luzer's tone and didn't press further. Although she was also a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, to be honest, the organization was mysterious and unpredictable, and she didn't know its specific structure or purpose.

Regarding the scene at that time

[The Hanged Man] Alger paused for a moment, then continued, "I heard that many people on Toscart Island saw a black knight kill the dragon in mid-air, causing it to fall."

Of everyone present, only the newly joined [Moon] and [Hermit] understood his meaning.

Because of Luze's public offer to buy it, they all know that the Sequence 4 of the Mystic Path is called "Black Knight," and the description of [The Hanged Man] is clearly moving in that direction.

"That's right, I've been promoted to Sequence 4."

Lu Ze said calmly.

Above the gray fog, the air fell silent for a few seconds.

Even though they had anticipated it, everyone was still inevitably shocked after hearing Temperance admit it himself.

After all, that's a demigod!

From this point onward, the extraordinary begin to gradually break free from the shackles of humanity and advance towards higher forms of life. Within the various churches and underground organizations, demigods are already undoubtedly among the highest ranks!
And at that moment, they witnessed the birth of a demigod!

"There's something I'd like to ask."

In the strange and silent atmosphere, Luze looked at Derrick, the [Sun] beside him, and asked, "How is Elder Lovia doing now? Has she successfully advanced?"

The Black Knight's ascension ceremony requires the corruption of at least ten thousand people, which is far beyond the reach of Silver City's sparse population. He was very curious about how they would solve this problem.

"She hasn't been promoted yet, but recently the Chief has often accompanied her, leading teams out of the city to capture monsters alive," [Sun] Derrick answered truthfully. "I guess they might be using monsters as substitutes."

Monsters? That makes sense. As the target's sequence increases, the required number decreases. Luze pondered for a moment, sensing that the other party was taking advantage of the unique environment of the Forsaken Land. After all, in the Northern Continent, there wouldn't be so many monsters for them to capture.

"Keep an eye on her for me."

"Lu Ze said. From the 'pilgrimage' murals left by Ourolus, we can infer that a true creator's sanctuary might exist deep within the 'Forsaken Land.' Observing the Silver City elder's behavior might provide some insight into the true creator's situation." "Okay."

[Sun] Derrick was unsure of Luzer's intentions, but he still seriously agreed, "I will keep an eye on things whenever I have time."

"Okay, please."

Lu Ze leaned back slightly in his chair. He had nothing more to say and was ready to listen to what other people had to say.

After that, [Justice] Audrey shared her journey into the depths of the collective consciousness through "psychological suggestion," while [Moon] Emlyn refuted [Sun]'s earlier account of the Silver City documents with the history of the "vampires," and the two argued about it.

At this moment, Klein, who had been relatively quiet throughout the meeting, spoke up.

Does anyone know her?

By performing a charade with his true self, he materialized a photograph of a red-haired girl and showed it to everyone. This was the reward he heard about after arriving in Bayam, the "City of Generosity": someone was offering 1000 pounds for the search of a girl named "Eleanor".

He mainly wanted to see if Alger the Hanged Man and Cattleya the Hermit knew each other, since both of them had a lot of information about the sea.

"Red-haired Elaine, of the Intissoren family bloodline, a fallen noble lady."

After clearly identifying the person, the hermit spoke calmly.

After a slight pause, she added, "She used to be a maritime merchant, but it's said that she was later captured by 'Sick Girl,' who is now 'Sick Lieutenant General' Tracy."

Lu Ze immediately raised his head.

Is the disease under control?

What a coincidence, I was just about to cause her trouble!

Sunia Sea, Roside Islands.

Located in the middle of the ocean, this archipelago serves as a hub connecting various islands, with countless ships passing through daily. It is renowned for its abundant spices and minerals. Blue Mountain Island, home to the capital Bayam, occupies more than half of the archipelago's land area. Its soil is fertile and covered with high forest coverage. The early colonists believed this to be a gift from the gods, so they established a city on the island and named it "City of Generosity."

Through generations of development, Bayam has become a city centered on agriculture, mining, and other industries. Every day, countless ships dock here, carrying away piles of spices, gold, silver, copper, iron, and coal to supply the development of the Loen region.

This island "generously" nourished the Kingdom of Loen, but one wonders how it benefited the local natives. When they hunched over digging in the plantations, sold their smiles in the Moulin Rouge with their thin, childlike bodies, and crawled like dogs through narrow mines until their last drop of blood and sweat was gone, did they also share in this "generosity"?

The people of Rune didn't care; they preferred to savor the rare spices and fruits and sing praises of Bayam's beautiful scenery.

The natives didn't seem to care either; they were more concerned with how to survive tomorrow.

As for Governor Bayam, he cared even less. More than the lives of those "barbarians," he was concerned with how to ensure peaceful coexistence between the two important figures of the kingdom.

"Two people, two people"

Governor George Negan of the Rothschild Islands, sweat beading on his balding forehead, said with a forced smile, "How about we have a drink first?"

The long table was laden with sumptuous dishes, and Admiral Emilius Levitt and MI9 Deputy Director Chunus Colger faced each other across the table in a cold manner.
