Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 508 Einhorn's Blood
Sunia Sea, on the route to Oláwi Island.

"To be honest, I did it to escape my arranged marriage."

Sophia spoke somewhat awkwardly, “My father, the current Emperor Ivan IV of Fussac, has arranged a marriage for me with a member of the royal family of Feneport.”

A classic reason.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

"Isn't it fine?"

He said, "I want to move to another place and continue my peaceful life as an upper-class nobleman, away from suffering and famine."

There are probably many people in this world who would be willing to exchange lives with her.

"not good at all."

Sophia glanced at Luze and shook her head deeply. "I've had enough of this caged canary life."

So she began her journey, first fleeing the capital of Fussac, Saint Milon, then heading east to the city of Laus on the eastern coast of the empire, from where she boarded a ship bound for the Sea of ​​Sunia. According to her, this was because she found the sailors at sea to be quite free and longed for that kind of life.

A noblewoman who ran away from home finds herself at sea in a dangerous situation.
Lu Ze shook his head.

If the other party hadn't been an extraordinary being, they would probably have been sold to some island's Moulin Rouge long ago.

“I originally planned to be a sea hunter for a while,” Sophia said regretfully. “But as soon as I reached Bayam, I was caught by the demigod they sent. He locked me up in the governor’s mansion, waiting for the royal family to send a ship to pick me up. Thank goodness you came!”

Therefore, I am now a criminal who kidnapped the imperial princess.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

The good news is that he'll soon have a new wanted poster. Besides the Ruen royal family, after today's incident, it's likely the Fussac royal family will also issue a bounty on him.

"Um, can I ask you for a favor?"

Just as Luze was reflecting on this, he suddenly heard Sophia's somewhat hesitant voice, "Could I stay on your ship? Don't worry, I can help. After all, I'm a Sequence 7 arsonist; being a pirate on your ship shouldn't be a problem!"

The more she spoke, the more confident she became.

“I can’t afford to hire such an expensive crew member to work for me as a royal woman.”

Lu Ze shook his head.

"Then can I stay for a while?" Sophia rolled her eyes, settling for second best. "At least until my father loses patience and terminates the engagement. The payment is negotiable!"

Compensation? Will it offset the trouble you've caused?
Lu Ze thought to himself.

“Leave her.”

Inside his body, Medici suddenly spoke, "This is what we agreed upon back then."

"Please beg me."

Lu Ze responded to Him in his heart.

Although Medici kept his promise and told him some things about the tides, he said things that were ambiguous and vague, which made him somewhat resentful.

“For the sake of our future cooperation, I think it would be best if we cooperated more.” Medici didn’t ask him directly, but just smiled. “If you really don’t intend to keep her, at least draw a vial of her blood. If you won’t even agree to that, then I might have to try some underhanded tactics.”

Blood?

Upon hearing the words of the Red Angel, Lu Ze's heart stirred.

He had previously requested blood to break free from the seal of the Quaternary underground ruins. Now, is He requesting blood again to break free from the constraints of His own body?
"I'm not going to let you have your way. I'm going to make her stay."

Lu Ze retorted inwardly, then looked at Sophia who was waiting for him.

"OK then."

He said, "Remember not to cause me any trouble."

A wide smile gradually spread across Sofia's face. "I understand, Captain!"

She said happily.

After a lively night, by dawn, they were not far from Olavi Island.

Almost everyone on the ship, except for the extraordinary ones, was drunk and sprawled haphazardly on the floor. The portly pharmacist, Darkwell, was being kicked repeatedly in the massive rear end by his teacher, Roy King, as he forced everyone down their throats for hangover cures.

"We'll be at Oravi Island soon, get ready."

Luzer said to Roy King,

"Okay, thank you very much for your help."

Roy King pushed up his glasses and said gratefully, but his kicking of his apprentice's butt never stopped. "I've already contacted Senator Rejoic, and he'll be picking me up at the port."

"what about me?"

Darkwell asked instinctively.

"You stay on the ship."

Roy King glanced at his apprentice and coldly delivered his verdict, "Congressman Rejord said he needed someone to relay messages between the School and the Blood Brothers, and I recommended you."

"No!"

Darkwell jumped up and shouted.

In his view, being a pirate was incredibly boring and dangerous, either spending all day on a ship or constantly fighting for his life. How could it compare to his life running a herbal medicine shop next to the Moulin Rouge, selling tonics during the day and going out to have fun at night?

"Quiet!"

But Darkwell's protests were quickly quelled by his teacher, who, despite his seemingly refined and frail appearance, unleashed astonishing strength, pinning him down and rendering him immobile. "You've been out there for so long and haven't made any progress at all. You've completely disgraced me! Take this opportunity to properly digest the potion and strive for an early promotion, understand?"

"Yes"

Under Roy King's repression, Darkwell could only say with a mournful face.

"Then, can you take me with you?"

On the restaurant's hanging lamp, Mr. Harry, the owl he kept, suddenly spoke. Compared to when he boarded the ship, its feathers were much more disheveled. It was now staring warily down below with its yellow eyes.

"Meow?"

In Lu Ze's arms, the black cat Luna tilted its head innocently.

Since its promotion to Sequence 8, it has become much more agile, far surpassing that of an ordinary cat. Even if Mr. Harry lands on the mast, he is still caught. Luna didn't eat it, but just for fun, she caught and released it, causing the owl quite a bit of trouble.

"What?! You stupid bird, you actually want to betray your master!"

Darkwell was furious. He didn't dare argue with his teacher, but he felt no pressure to scold his pet. So the man and the bird began to verbally attack each other, making the scene quite lively.

"Take your things and I won't go into port."

Lu Ze ignored the pair and took out the die from his pocket. "Don't worry, I just scared it. It should behave for a long time."

This unique item has thus returned to the hands of the School of Life, and the unborn Speaker can rest assured.

"Ok."

Roy King carefully examined the state of the dice, put them in his pocket, and then cautiously glanced at Darkwell, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that he was far away from him.

“I will talk to Congressman Rachaud about it.”

He added this before disembarking.

That matter naturally refers to the spying of the "divine evil" and the "Mother Tree of Desire".
