Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 467 Going to Oravi Island

The forces behind me?

Luzer was taken aback by Anderson's question.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really doesn't have any powerful backing.

The Church of the Goddess of Night?

That was at most a former workplace; after I miraculously returned from the dead, I lost all contact with them.

Why do you believe that I have another force behind me?

Lu Ze asked calmly.

“Captain, when we were stranded on the island, you told me that you were a follower of the Fools.” Anderson smiled. “So I thought that there might be an entire organization that worships the Fools behind you.”

Oh right, and there's also the Tarot Club.

However, to be precise, the Tarot Club can't be considered a definitive organization. Although it's a prestigious, albeit informal, meeting, Mr. Fool never forces or binds its members, only occasionally offering guidance. This organization primarily serves as a platform for exchange and transactions.

As for faith, he felt more gratitude towards the Fool than faith. After all, as a former cryptic practitioner, he already had his own opinions about the existence of deities.

That's why he told Anderson at that time, "In some ways, I'm a believer."

"Just assume that's how it is."

Lu Ze said vaguely.

Seeing that Anderson was still standing there, he realized, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Captain."

Anderson asked, "Which way are we going? What are we going to do next?"

The fleet had set sail urgently to avoid the approaching "Sea King" Arne Courtman. Now, after drifting at sea for several days without a clear destination, the crew members were beginning to waver to varying degrees.

After all, we're a pirate fleet. What kind of ships should we plunder, which sea lanes should we patrol and hunt, and even if we're going to fight the navy, shouldn't we have a clear destination?

"Oh, that's right."

Lu Ze nodded, indicating his understanding.

The fleet sailed away from Toscar for several days, and Yann Courtman did not catch up, indicating that they should be safe. It was time to determine the next steps.

"Bring the 'sea serpent' here."

He said.

Not long after, Boatswain "Sea Serpent" Walter rushed into the captain's cabin.

"Captain, you were looking for me?"

He asked eagerly.

"Ah."

Lu Ze looked him up and down. "Walter, I called you in because I have something to ask you."

"Excuse me."

What are the main shipping lanes in this area?

His boatswain was a former pirate captain and should be very familiar with merchant shipping routes.

There are two main points.

Walter perked up immediately when asked about an area he was familiar with. He turned and walked to the table, pointing to the lower right of the nautical chart spread out on it. "We are currently roughly south of Toscart Island. There are two main shipping lanes nearby, one leading southwest to Simim Island and the other northwest to Oravi Island."

Upon hearing "Olavia Island," Anderson's body twitched slightly.

The misfortune brought upon him by Ouroboros had not yet subsided. The solution Luze had previously obtained from the chairman of the "School of Life" was to find a "Councilor of Fate" on the island of Oravi!
Which route will encounter the Rune Navy?

Lu Ze had also thought of this, but instead of making a decision immediately, he continued to ask questions.

"You'll encounter both, but Simim Island is closer."

Upon hearing Luze inquire about the navy's whereabouts, "Sea Serpent's" brow twitched, but she still answered truthfully.

"captain."

Anderson took a step closer, his eyes eager. It was clear he wanted to go to Oravi Island. "Yes."

Luze nodded, then asked the sea serpent, "Are the supplies on the ship enough? How many days will it take to get to Oravi Island?"

As the captain, he still needs to consider the issue of consumption.

"Our fleet has very few people."

Walter recalled the mere twenty-odd crew members on board and the two ships beside it crammed with flesh and blood golems, and his lips twitched. "The supplies on the three ships are enough for a long time."

"it is good."

Luze nodded. "Notify the whole ship that we're heading to Oravi Island."

"Yes!"

Walter perked up and was about to go out when Luzer called him back.

"Walter, which route did you take?"

He looked at the other person and asked.

"The 'lawyer' route, Captain."

Walter answered cautiously.

That's why he tried to persuade me with his eloquence at that time.
Lu Ze nodded. "How's the potion digesting?"

"Well, it's all digested, but we haven't received the subsequent formula."

"I see."

Lu Ze said calmly, waving the other party out.

Walter bowed to him with a mixture of unease and anticipation, then turned and left the captain's cabin. A short while later, his voice could be heard outside as he gathered the sailors, announcing the captain's decision and directing them to adjust the ship's course.

Cheers soon erupted, and the sailors finally had a clear goal.

"Are you planning to give him a Sequence 7 potion?"

Hearing the noise outside, Anderson asked with a smile.

"If he does his job well, it's normal to give him some rewards."

Luze glanced at Anderson. "You too."

"Wow—really? So generous?"

Anderson whistled and laughed, "But what I need is a demigod-level potion recipe. Even you, Captain, couldn't possibly have such a coincidence. What is it?"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because Luze now held a deck of cards. It was a beautifully designed tarot card, depicting Emperor Roselle in a red priest's robe, driving a chariot. In the upper right corner of the card were written the following words:
"Sequence 0: The Red Priestess!"
"This, this is."

Anderson's voice trembled slightly.

Looking at the shape of the playing cards and feeling the high-level attraction emanating from them, he quickly recalled some information left over from hidden knowledge and connected it with something.

"The Blasphemy Card".

Lu Ze smiled, and the answer he gave was exactly what he had expected.

"The Blasphemy Token, rumored to have been created by Emperor Roselle and containing the complete sequence of potion recipes for the entire path?"

Anderson, as if incredulous, continued to press for answers.

"That's right. As expected of someone who came from the Knowledge Foundation, they know so much. And what a coincidence, this card just happens to be from the Hunter path."

Lu Ze shook the cards in his hand, as if his memory had suddenly deteriorated, and asked in feigned confusion, "Hey, right, what did you just say?"

"I mean, I will always be loyal to the captain and take it as my duty to carry out his will."

Anderson immediately changed his attitude, straightening his body with a serious expression.

"Meow"

In a corner of the captain's cabin, Luna, who had witnessed everything, drooped her eyes and let out a low snort, seemingly feeling helpless at the fickleness of humans.
