The Lord Of The Mysteries

Chapter 146's

"What's so special about the Qilangos magic thing?" Audrey asked with a little confidence.

He considered it carefully and suddenly realized that he had a decent ability to find people in Backlund.

First, his father was one of the most wealthy, connected, and reputable nobles, while he was also quite popular among the younger generation. Therefore, in upper middle class society, he had enough resources to utilize.

Second, the two Beyonders he knew had their own circles as well. Apprentice Fors was originally a clinical physician, and is now a writer. He knew quite a lot of people in the literary world and publishing industry, as well as among middle-class doctors.

Arbitrator Xio Derecha has helped many lower middle class people to coordinate and mediate disputes over long periods of time. He was also quite famous in the East Backlund region among the working class and mafia. He has many hidden channels.

Plus, given the Beyonders they knew and their circle of influence, their ability to search for someone could not be underestimated.

To Justice's question, Algeria answered almost without hesitation or thought.

"Nobody knew the real name of the magic item, but the people who had come into contact with it called it 'Creeping Hunger.' Qilangos uses the soul and flesh of the living to satisfy him every day. Otherwise, he would have eaten his owner as his replacement."

"This could be one of the most important clues to looking for Qilangos," Audrey said as she furrowed her brows.

He felt very uncomfortable and deeply hated any evil object that wanted the fresh blood and soul of a living human.

"Yes, but in a big city with at least five million people, some of the missing vagabonds will go unnoticed" Algeria reminded him. "Since he got Creeping Hunger, the Qilangos have been very difficult to deal with."

“He was originally a Wind blessed man. He possesses the power of a great Beyonder in domains related to water, wind, and weather. But, then, people realized that he could drive his target crazy, enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead soul, sing to strengthen himself, and change his appearance… There was almost nothing he could not do," Algeria explained in detail. "We suspect it's all an effect that comes from a magical item, Creeping Hunger…"

Before he finished sharing, Derrick Berg, who had been listening quietly, suddenly exclaimed, "Shepherd!"

The shepherd? Order 5 of the Secret Applicant and Listener lines? Hmm, among the six councillors in Silver City, there was a new elder who was the Shepherd. Sun had mentioned that he was strong enough to fight against the Sequence 4 expert, yah—roh evil of the same class. Justice did not notice either.

"Shepherd?"

"Shepherd?"

Justice and The Hanged Man asked in unison. One sounded completely confused while the other sounded shocked, as if they had heard the title of Shepherd elsewhere before and knew something about it, but did not understand the actual situation.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Derrick suddenly panicked a little. No matter how quiet, depressed, and irritated he was, he was a man after all.

He hurriedly explained in a stammer, "What I mean is, the features The Hanged Man portrayed were like the Beyonder power of Sequence's work, Shepherd. Each Shepherd can swallow the souls of others into their bodies, including ghosts and evil spirits. They control these souls doing their requests with unique methods, which allow them to use their abilities, such as a god letting his sheep out to graze.

"Therefore, no one knows how much power a Shepherd has. It depended on how many Beyonder souls they had swallowed, and it made them extremely frightening. They're almost like High-Irance Beyonder.

"However, there are those who suspect that there is a limit to the number of souls that the Shepherd can consume and expel to graze, and the souls within can also be replaced."

So that's what it means to be a Shepherd.The Path of Order that the Aurora Order controls is enigmatic. No wonder they worship the True Creator, no, the Fallen Creator, taking over the appearance he had long known.

Meanwhile, he sighed in his heart. Sun, after all, you are a man. This is very important information, a very important insight.You could have traded it for valuable things, but you just revealed everything! Like those…

Yes, the abilities displayed by the magical item Creeping Hunger are similar to the Order Shepherd 5... I wonder if the other Closed Artifacts have the same power of Beyonders? I wonder which of the Sequence the Sealed Artifacts 2-049, the Antigonus family puppets, are similar…

After listening to Sun's explanation, Algeria seemed to have solved the puzzle in his mind as he nodded silently.

Audrey grew curious and urged, "Which Sequence Line of Shepherd? What number?"

"Secret Supplier Line, Order 5." Klein took the opportunity to answer to show that he knew everything.

"Secret Supporter..The Order of Aurora.." Audrey suddenly remembered Lord A, who was supposedly the Oracle of the Order of Aurora, and she immediately felt heavy-hearted.

He began to think seriously, thinking about what price he could pay in exchange for a Foolish Master to take action and get rid of that loathsome person easily. However, he could not think of anything that would move Mr. Fool to do it.

As expected, a figure similar to a god would not be easy to move. After all, there were not many things and things that would interest them.

Putting aside his impulse, he nodded to The Sun in gratitude, thanking him for giving them a new perspective on Creeping Hunger, which he had learned, so that they can deal with it more sensibly and efficiently.

"Master Hanged Man, I'm willing to accept the mission. But I can't guarantee if I can find Rear Admiral Storm, Qilangos." Audrey looked across her as she spoke.

"Deal," Audrey pursed her lips and replied with a faint smile.

Later, the Algerians made portraits of Qilangos with Klein's permission and assistance.

He was one of the seven major pirate admirals. He had a distinctive wide chin, brown hair tied into a bun on the back of his head like an ancient warrior, and green eyes that seemed to hint at laughter, but the coldness was abnormal..

After they finished their discussion and shared their insights, Klein smiled as he announced the end of the Meeting. He watched Justice and The Hanged Man rise quickly from their seats and bow while The Sun mimicked their movements, only slower.

He pressed forward with his right hand and severed the connection, but he did not leave immediately.

…

The Berg household in Silver City.

Derrick looked at his familiar surroundings and glanced outward at the dark sky that had a flash of lightning. He was momentarily thrown into a trance.

But he soon regained consciousness. He searched for goat skin and quill pens before writing down the Bard formula he memorized.

He saw it a few times and was finally convinced that there was nothing wrong with it.

Derrick was not worried that having Bard's formula and being a different Beyonder would get suspicion from the Silver City's upper echelon. This was because in past exploration expeditions, members of those elite forces often gathered some strange formulas, materials, and artifacts from monsters in abandoned and destroyed cities.

During this process, it is normal that people keep some loot in private. As long as it did not involve anything too important, the captains and higher-ups would secretly ignore it.

Over time, some formulas began circulating through non-official channels within the Silver City. Some become the foundation of a strong family from generation to generation. The matters of Darkness around the Silver City were relatively fixed. Some materials could be obtained easily while some could only be found if one went deep into the cursed land.

Putting aside the goatskin, Derrick recalled the instructions of the mysterious Idiot. Therefore, in his simple bedroom, he lowered his head and just prayed, saying,

"Stupid people who don't belong to this era."

"The mysterious ruler over the gray fog."

"The Yellow and Black Kings have good luck."

…

Jotun is a very ancient language. It came equipped with the mystical properties demanded by rituals, prayers, and mantras; therefore, Derrick did not need to change his incantation into the ancient Hermes.

…

"Stupid people who don't belong to this era."

…

Klein, who was sitting on the seat of honor on a long bronze table, suddenly heard a prayer echoing in his ears. He then saw a deep red star associated with the Sun flashing.

He did not try to touch it, but planned to reply ten minutes before the next Meeting so that the young man of Silver City would make preparations to be alone.

The most important part was for him to avoid the conversion of time and date, to reduce the chances of damaging the mighty image of the Fool.

After he confirmed that, Klein wrapped himself in spirituality and stimulated the descent.

Returning to his room, Klein released the wall of spirituality and rested before he prepared to come out again.

There was no need for him to play the role of an Astrologer, and he did not have to organize his trip to the Divination Club into his daily schedule. He would only visit occasionally to earn an extra allowance and fulfill his tutelage as a Nighthawk.

Originally, Klein had wanted to laze around all afternoon, but he suddenly thought of something he hadn't done yet. So, he had no choice but to gather himself. According to her appointment, she had to visit Detective Henry that day and receive a final report on the red chimney investigation.

Sighing. I've heard that the big timers are all quite busy .. I still have to take the time to go to the Tingen Family Servant Assistance Association with Benson and Melissa to find a good waitress … Klein reluctantly changed his clothes, put on his black tuxedo, and held onto his silk hat and silver stick before walking out the door like a gentleman.

On Besik Street, under Henry Private Detective Company, Klein put on a mask and took down his hat as he crossed the street quickly and entered the stairs.
