Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 514 The Active Rose School

"can."

Lu Ze thought for a moment and then agreed, “500 pounds per page. Moreover, I want priority rental rights, which means that if there is a conflict with the rental time of other people, I should be given priority to rent it.

It only consumes some spiritual display ability, which is nothing to him.

Actually, asking Mr. Fool would have been fine too. Behind the gray mist, Klein revealed a poor and regretful expression. The various abilities released by that "Scepter of Poseidon" were at the demigod level, which perfectly matched the request of [Magician] Fors.

Unfortunately, this fool needs to maintain his dignity and cannot get involved with the members to compete for benefits, otherwise it would be too unsightly.

"This request can certainly be fulfilled. Thank you very much, Mr. Temperance."

"I'm so happy," Fors said. At that moment, she felt incredibly fortunate to be part of the high-level Tarot community. Where in the real world could she find a demigod willing to continuously use their abilities to help her record things?

Even if it were doubled, let alone only costing £500!

A stir ran through the gathering, everyone seemingly anticipating the item's promising future. After all, everyone knew just how powerful Temperance was. The value of "Lynorman's Spellbook" had increased even further when Luze agreed.

But no matter how happy we are, the party still has to go on.

"Open discussion."

Seeing that no one was willing to trade, Klein spoke up calmly.

"I'll go first."

"The biggest event this week," said Alger, referring to the Hanged Man. "was the Blood Monk's fleet that attacked Bayam."

The way he spoke these words was entirely from an outsider's perspective, as if he himself wasn't even on the island at the time of the incident, and didn't know either Temperance or the World.

Everyone else remained silent, turning to look at Lu Ze, waiting for the central figure to reveal some inside information.

Lu Ze thought for a moment.

"There's not much to say. Another demigod loyal to the royal family has been killed."

He specifically mentioned to Audrey [Justice], "According to that guy's confession, the Rune royal family also has the Psychological Alchemy Society as a partner."

A psychological alchemy?
The organization I joined?

[Justice] Audrey's expression froze.

At the last tarot reading, Mr. Temperance mentioned that he had been attacked by high-ranking members of the Psychological Alchemy Society. Now, she has learned that this organization may also be behind the devastating smog event.

Audrey's feelings were very complicated.

She still doesn't know the full picture of the organization she belongs to; she's only in contact with a nominal tutor. All she knows is that this organization specializes in infiltrating the upper echelons of the nobility, slowly exerting influence. Now, does this also seem to be an attempt to subtly change the upper echelons of Rune?

"Also, Miss Justice."

Luze glanced at her. "Remember to watch out for Herwin Lambis."

"That royal advisor?"

[Justice] Audrey had met the person he was talking about.

"That's his official position. His true identity is a member of the Psychological Alchemy Council, responsible for communication with the royal family."

"."

Audrey found it hard to believe. The man seemed like a gentleman, kind and gentle, a universally acknowledged good person in aristocratic circles. She never imagined he would be a high-ranking member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and that he would commit such a cruel act without anyone noticing.

Politics, royalty, and organizations are all incredibly corrupt and hypocritical.
Those dead East End residents, Cons
Almost instinctively, Audrey quickly composed herself.

“Mr. Temperance, thank you for the reminder. Please feel free to ask if there is anything I can do for you.” She took a deep breath, her expression shifting from girlish innocence and lightheartedness to a more serious one, and began to speak.

Lu Zedo glanced at her.

"I will."

He said.

The atmosphere around the bronze table was quiet for a moment until Audrey, the Justice, spoke again.

“I heard something from the Southern Continent.”

She placed her hands on her skirt and looked around.

"Regarding which aspect?"

"The Hanged Man," Alger asked.

"Regarding the Rose School."

"According to reports, they have been unusually active in the Southern Continent in recent days, holding bloody sacrifices in various places and clashing with multiple forces," Audrey said.

Her information came from her brother, Colonel Alfred Hall, who had joined the Rune army. He was currently serving in the Southern Continent army and had recounted some events in a letter to his sister.

Of course, Colonel Alfred, being a man of professional ethics, did not reveal the specific details, but Audrey, the "Justice," used her psychological abilities to deduce the relevant information from her brother's description.

Rose School
Upon hearing this name, Lu Ze instinctively became wary.

After all, he had just clashed with this organization and encountered their worshipped "Mother Tree of Desire" and "Divine Evil" Siea in the environment.

"I've received similar news."

[The Hermit] Gadriya chimed in, "On the seas of Sunia, 'Admiral Blood' and his fleet are also frequently active. Since last Thursday, many merchant ships and passenger ships have been attacked by them and treated brutally."

The force behind the Blood General is the Rose School.

"What are they going to do?"

"The Hanged Man," Alger couldn't help but say.

Last Thursday, exactly the day after I saw the "Mother Tree of Desire" in my hallucination, Lu Ze had a suspicion. Setting aside the possibility of wishful thinking, perhaps the unusual behavior of the Rose School was because of him...
"Can anyone tell me about this organization?"

He raised his voice.

"The Rose School was originally the orthodox sect of the Southern Continent, but it was later corrupted by an evil god."

"The Hanged Man," Alger explained succinctly.

She spoke similarly to Sharon, a proponent of "moderation."
Lu Ze compared his words with what the "refugee" who had fled to the Northern Continent had said, and then asked directly, "What do you know about the 'divine abomination' Siea?"

"All I know is that Søren is the leader of the Rose School."

"The Hanged Man," Alger replied.

“Shea is the child of the mother tree.”

[The Hermit] Gadriya continued, as a pirate general, she knew more secret knowledge, "It is very likely a Sequence 1 angel of the 'Prisoner' pathway. It rarely appears in reality, supposedly because it was born of an evil god, and its own spirituality is unstable, making it difficult to maintain its state."

"The so-called 'divine evil' itself contains images of chaos, distortion, and hatred."

The son of the evil god, is his condition unstable?
Lu Ze recalled for a moment. He seemed to remember seeing an amorphous monster curled up like an infant beneath the mother tree in that hallucination.

If that is indeed the "divine wrath" Siea, then it does fit the description of the Hermit.
