Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 512 Do I look like Sequence 3?

Emlyn, the Moon, was not the only one shocked by Luze's words; everyone else present was also taken aback.

".Why?"

"The Hanged Man," Alger asked in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"The results of the last operation."

Lu Ze replied succinctly, "You deserve your share."

He was able to successfully attack Bayam thanks to the help of two people. [World] Klein distracted "Sea King," and [The Hanged Man] Alger provided the coastal defense map and password. Without them, he wouldn't have succeeded so easily.

Too much!
Although I am really short of money, this is still too much!
Although I really want to accept it, I feel uneasy taking so much!
Moreover, my intelligence was flawed.
Klein protested fiercely in his heart. But as the "world," he maintained an indifferent attitude, speaking succinctly in a hoarse voice:
"Too much."

“Governor Bayam’s safe is very well-stocked, so what you’ve received isn’t much,” Lu Ze said. “But it’s uncertain how long it will take for those items to sell, so I’ll just give you the cash directly.”

"Thank you for your generosity."

Seeing his serious attitude, Alger the Hanged Man no longer hesitated and accepted.

"Let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk about it later."

Klein intended to refuse, but saying too much at the party would conflict with his public image. He could only put it aside for the time being, planning to have a proper discussion with Luze at the subsequent transmigrator gathering.

The other people at the meeting had different attitudes toward this.

Robbing the governor's mansion was indeed very profitable.
"The Hermit," Cattleya thought to herself. As a pirate captain, she also had financial needs to improve her crew's skills and maintain the fleet's operations. It was just a pity that his methods were difficult to replicate; after all, not everyone was as ruthless and powerful as him.

Mr. Temperance is so generous! I envy Mr. World and Mr. Hanged Man.
Fors, the Magician, had some concerns—she had originally planned to hire Temperance to kill "Mr. X," but given the man's high price tag, she worried whether she could afford it.

After all, Backlund's tabloids had already covered it to death. Stories like "The Blood Monk ambushed Bayam and stole three ships full of gold," and "Naval cannons shattered the navy, seized the armory, and kidnapped Princess Fussac" were passed down by word of mouth. His fame once again spread throughout the world, and he was beginning to be ranked alongside the kings of the sea.

No wonder he's destined to be the Pirate King, his demeanor is truly exceptional!
[Justice] Audrey thought sincerely that although a thousand or two pounds was not a large sum for her, she could understand how rare it was to be able to share money like this.

After the spoils were divided, Lu Ze looked around at everyone and slowly spoke:
"I need the potion recipe for Sequence 3 of the Mystic Path."

As expected, everyone remained silent.

Sequence 3?

Do I look like Sequence 3?

"This demand is too high; I dare not write it to my teacher." [The Magician] Fors shook his head quickly and said sincerely, "He would think I've lost my mind."

"I have no way to bring this up with the Psychological Alchemy Society."

"Justice," said Audrey.

The Hanged Man, the Sun, the Moon, and others also declined to help for similar reasons, but only the Hermit, Cattleya, thought she could give it a try.

"If I succeed, my reward will be a drop of blood from a mythical creature, whatever that mythical creature may be."

Her purple eyes were fixed on Lu Ze through her glasses.

Mythical creature?

Lu Ze knew what that title meant.

High-sequence Extraordinary Beings have elevated their life level, beginning to approach divinity. From Sequence 4 onwards, they can manifest the state of mythical creatures, but Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 manifest incomplete mythical creatures with severe negative effects, potentially leading to irreversible loss of control—what the [Hermit] needs is likely not the blood of Extraordinary Beings at this level. That means she needs the blood of an angelic-level Extraordinary Being, or an Extraordinary creature in general?
I do have a dead guy on me.
Lu Ze thought for a moment and asked:

"Is it acceptable for an angel to regress to a Sequence 4 being?"

"?"

The Hermit, Cattleya, was very confused by his question, but she still answered seriously, "I don't know what you're talking about, but what I need must be the blood flowing from a mythical creature."

That probably won't work.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

Another person I know who fits the criteria is the chairman of the Life School, the Mercury Serpent. However, he's currently in his mother's womb and will probably be born some time from now.

"Take your time looking for it for me."

Lu Ze said to her.

After that, he had no more needs, so he leaned back and watched others perform.

"Cough cough."

Emlyn, recovering from his initial shock, cleared his throat slightly, drawing everyone's attention before speaking with a touch of arrogance, "Gentlemen, does anyone know a way for vampires to enhance their strength?"

He really cares about his "vampire" identity.

"Your methods for increasing your strength are no different from those of ordinary extraordinary individuals."

"The Hanged Man," Alger said, "also requires taking potions to advance."

"But the queues within the vampire clan are too long."

"The Moon," Emlyn said, frowning.

He'd witnessed the promotions of all the members within the Tarot Club, and naturally, this made him anxious. By the time it was his turn, the other members might already have reached Sequence 5. How could he then maintain his pride as a vampire in front of everyone?

Although no one else took his pride seriously, he was still bothered by it. Especially since Mr. Fool and the Progenitor Lilith both saw him as the hope of the new era (Emlyn himself believed so), he had to strive to improve!
"I happen to know the whereabouts of a vampire baron's extraordinary trait, which corresponds to the main ingredient of the Pharmacist pathway sequence 6 'Potion Professor'."

Alger smiled and said, "If you want, I can talk to the holder for you."

This was a collection belonging to a notorious pirate he knew, who thought it was useless and wanted to sell it.

"how much is it?"

Emlyn was somewhat tempted, especially since he had recently received a lot of compensation, which gave him some confidence.

"The value is roughly between £4000 and £5000, but the exact amount will be determined after I speak with the owner."

"5000 pounds!"

Emlyn exclaimed in astonishment.

Such a large sum of money was enough for him to bring home the several dolls he had been eyeing for a long time, and even buy several new outfits for each of them! His first reaction was to give up, but he quickly thought of the favor of the progenitor and the glory of the vampire clan, and became somewhat hesitant.

I wish I had the means to make a lot of money, just like Temperance.
He thought to himself with difficulty, and subconsciously looked at Lu Ze.
