Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 405 He deserves to be killed
Within the ancient castle, a thick, gray fog flowed silently.

Before the long bronze table, two indistinct figures stared at each other.

"[World], you must be Klein?"

Without any preamble, Lu Ze went straight to the point and asked.

"Lu Ze, you're still so direct."

At the end of the bronze table, the somber figure belonging to the [World] sighed. His originally deep and hoarse voice suddenly became clear, and Lu Ze could vaguely recognize the tone of his former colleague.

"Klein, it really was you."

As expected, Lu Ze was also somewhat moved, saying, "Come to think of it, this is the second time I've recognized you."

The first time, he exposed his former colleague's disguise as "Sherlock Moriarty" and also discovered that the other party was his fellow transmigrator from the same hometown.

"Yes."

Klein said.

Although he had guessed this day would come when he warned Lu Ze, he was still somewhat embarrassed when the moment actually arrived.

I hope there won't be a third time, please don't let it happen a third time.
At the same time, he prayed sincerely in his heart.

I don't have many more aliases left. If I reveal any more, he'll discover my connection to the Fool.

"So, when did you join here?"

Lu Ze asked.

"After coming to Backlund."

Klein recalled for a moment and said, "The reason why the [World] was able to appear was thanks to the 'All-Black Eye' contributed by Rosago."

What prompted you to join?

"The guidance of a certain powerful figure."

Klein replied with an excuse he had already prepared.

"So, when I received the divine message from the true creator, you looked unwell because of this?"

Lu Ze seemed to understand something.

".right."

At this point, Klein felt a little guilty, because the real reason he had been distracted at the time was that he himself was the Fool. "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about the Fool back then."

"It's okay, I understand."

Lu Ze waved his hand dismissively, "If it were me, I would probably do the same thing."

The atmosphere above the gray fog quieted down for a moment.

"Let's get to know each other again, Mr. World, I am Temperance."

Lu Ze smiled and said to the other party.

Good afternoon, Mr. Temperance.

Klein nodded in response.

"We know each other about this, so there's no need to tell the other members, right?"

"No, there's no need."

After briefly determining their interaction pattern in the gray fog, the two still treated each other as strangers.

At this point, they both felt a little relieved.

Lu Ze leaned back slightly and adjusted his posture.

How are you now?

He asked Klein, "When you passed on the message to me before, it seemed like you were in a bad situation too."

"Yes, I was also involved in a case related to the royal family at the time."

Recalling his ordeal, Klein's tone grew slightly somber. He had shared his experiences with Luzer, including with Prince Edsack and the witch Triss, warned her before being silenced by a meteorite, rescued by Mr. Azik, only to be stopped by Ince Zangwill.
"Ince Zangwell."

Upon hearing that damned name, Lu Ze's eyes narrowed instantly. "That bastard is cooperating with the royal family too?"

This guy is directly involved in Cecilia's death, and Luze has long been determined to take revenge on him. He just didn't expect him to be involved with the royal family and the witch cult. Now, he'll settle both old and new scores.

"Yes, he is in the ruins occupied by the royal family."

Klein said, his eyes blazing with anger as he spoke of this enemy. "And you, what did you go through back then?"

He then asked a question.

"."

Lu Ze was silent for a moment, then said, "My lambs are all dead. After killing the witch who was the mastermind behind it all, I figured out that the mastermind behind it was the Dog Shit Emperor, and I started preparing to avenge my lambs and the people of the East District. Those guys deserve to die."

Klein sat up straight instinctively, the coldness in the other person's words making him uneasy.

"So you launched the attack on the last day of the year."

He hesitated before asking, "How did you, a Sequence 5, manage to resist so many high-sequence powerhouses?"

To be honest, Klein was genuinely curious. Luze's strength at that time far exceeded that of a typical Sequence 5; even if he was a powerful Shepherd, it was still beyond his comprehension.

"In order to quickly improve my strength, I have taken on a new lamb."

"What kind of lamb is so strong?"

"Oh, you know him too,"

Lu Ze answered casually, "It's that Red Angel evil spirit."

".ah?"

Klein paused for a moment, as if taking some time to understand, before asking incredulously, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, if it weren't for Him, I wouldn't have been able to get into the palace at all."

Lu Zedao.

"So are you okay now?"

Others might not know, but Klein knew very well. That evil spirit was an angel in life, and even in death it possessed immense power and was filled with malice towards the living. Luze was certainly facing extreme risks by letting it shepherd!

"Fortunately, I'm barely staying conscious."

Lu Ze said, "If I relax even slightly, He will try to take over my body."

That sounds terrible.
Klein thought to himself, and then quickly came up with a solution: "Mr. Azik is an expert in the field of death. I can write to him and ask him if he has any ideas."

Mr. Azik, the equally mysterious high-sequence extraordinary being.

Lu Ze nodded. "Okay, please ask for me. However, I have another solution: to advance to Sequence 4 as soon as possible. That evil spirit only has Sequence 4 characteristics. Once I advance my sequence, I should be able to have stronger control over it."

"I have now left Backlund and arrived at the Sunia Sea. It may take some time to find the main ingredient for the potion."

"Did you go out to sea too?"

Klein exclaimed in surprise, "Perfect timing! I was just about to set sail; maybe we can go together!"

"It's too late, I've already reached Toscate Island, deep in the Sunia Sea."

Lu Ze smiled and said, "We might run into each other on my way back."

So fast?
What kind of ship was he on? How did it get to Toscate in just a few days?

"Uh, okay."

Klein said with some regret, "Remember to keep an eye out for any traces of mermaids."

"These are the main ingredients for your potion?"

"No, I will use them to complete the promotion ceremony."

Klein was telling the truth.

"Okay, I remember."

Lu Ze nodded. He remembered that the Queen had once summoned a phantom mermaid. Perhaps she knew where the mermaid was, or she could lend him the mermaid directly.

"That's settled then. I wish you all the best in your promotion."

Klein said.

I also wish you a successful promotion.

Lu Ze replied verbatim.

The two men smiled at each other, stood up to thank Mr. Fool, and asked to end the meeting.

A deep red light quickly enveloped them.
