Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 482 Senator Rachaud

Olavi is located in the northwest of Toscate, and the two are quite far apart.

It was originally a primitive island teeming with extraordinary creatures, uninhabited by humans. However, with the advent of the Age of Exploration, due to its geographical advantages, the island gradually developed and has since become a relatively prosperous city with multiple ports.

"I see Olavi Island!"

"Finally, we can stop the boat!"

Hearing the sailors' cheers outside, Darkwell's chubby face twitched involuntarily, his eyes showing both joy and a hint of unease. Joy, of course, came from safely reaching their destination and making contact with their organization; unease stemmed from the fact that he had brought a few extra passengers.

The entire fleet entering the port would be too conspicuous, so Luze made some arrangements: leaving only the necessary personnel to guard the sailors and ships, while the rest were free to disembark on the island. They had just plundered a pirate ship, and everyone had received a considerable amount of money, eager to spend it.

"Don't cause trouble."

Luzer gave the sailors a psychological suggestion and then let them go. He himself left the port with Anderson and Darkwell to find the Life School's local contact, the bell-ringer Cano.

The Church of San Draco on the island has a magnificent bell tower, boldly painted with three bright colors: red, yellow, and blue. Under the strong island sun, it looks very beautiful. The bell ringer, Cano, lives in a small room under the bell tower.

"Dong dong."

Darkwell glanced at Luze and the others, then nervously knocked on the door.

"crunch-"

The wooden door opened, and a tall, hunched middle-aged man stepped out.

Ok?
Lu Ze secretly observed this person and suddenly sensed something was wrong. His appearance was very strange. Although his features were normal on their own, they looked extremely uncoordinated when put together. This disharmony was also reflected in his limbs, which were of different lengths.

He also noticed the other person's peculiarity at the soul level. Unlike normal humans, this person's soul was also scattered like the body, with each part flashing with different light, barely able to be put together.

It looks like it was forcibly pieced together.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

The strange man behind the door did not speak immediately, but instead scrutinized the three of them.

"Is it the bell-ringer, Cano?"

Darkwell asked cautiously, “I am Roy King’s student, my name is Darkwell.”

“Roy King and I mentioned you.”

Kano then spoke, nodding, "You're an annoying guy, but you're not a bad person at heart."

"cut"

Darkwell grinned, seemingly about to object. But he quickly remembered what he was supposed to do and hurriedly said, "Never mind that, I have something very urgent to discuss with Congressman Reichard. Take me to him right now!"

That matter must be reported as soon as possible!

"Come into my room."

Kano looked at him and said.

Darkwell paused, then raised his voice, "I said, I have important business to discuss with Congressman Rachaud, didn't you understand?"

At a time like this, why would you even bother going into your shabby little house!
"That's why I said, come in, Congressman Joel Reid is already waiting inside."

Cano answered calmly, turning his body to the side.

Lu Ze then looked into the room.

Only then did he notice that there was another person in the room. It was an elderly man with gray hair, a face without many wrinkles, and wearing a short black jacket for easy movement. The old man sat in a round-backed chair, with a sturdy cane beside him.

"I am Rajud."

He chuckled and said to everyone, "Please come in, Darkwell, and these two friends as well."

I can't believe I didn't notice him just now.
Lu Ze was slightly surprised. The shepherd's characteristics had no effect on this old man, and he could not sense his characteristics and soul—just like when he encountered the pregnant woman who was carrying the mercury serpent.

Moreover, he didn't seem surprised at all by my and Anderson's visit.
Kano had already made way, and the three entered the house, the small space suddenly becoming very crowded. "A councilor of the School of Life, Your Excellency Rajud, is that right?"

Lu Ze asked.

“It is I, Lord Blood Monk.” The old man nodded with a smile, glancing at Anderson from head to toe. “I have already received a hint from the Speaker that this gentleman does indeed possess the aura of Urolius.”

Sure enough, he already knew about our plans in advance.

Lu Ze thought to himself and gave Anderson a wink.

"Your Excellency, Member of Parliament."

Anderson stepped forward, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Rajud looked at him carefully for a few seconds, then smiled slightly:

Give me a gold coin.

"Huh?" Anderson was a little confused, but he still took out a Rune coin from his clothes and handed it to the other person. The latter took the coin, slowly closed his fingers, and held the coin in his hand.

Then he laughed and said:
"Alright, your bad luck has been lifted."

"what?"

Anderson was somewhat taken aback, and he subconsciously looked at Luzer.

"It has indeed been lifted."

Lu Ze glanced at him, observing Anderson with his heightened senses, and found that the strange aura that had been surrounding him had disappeared.

Anderson still trusted Luzer to some extent, and seeing this, he smiled and asked:

"Thank you very much. May I ask what kind of compensation I need to pay?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Rachel said, then turned her gaze to Darkwell, who had been waiting anxiously.

“Your Excellency, Congressman! My teacher, Roy King.”

The fat pharmacist finally had a chance to speak, so he stepped forward and spoke eagerly.

"I already know I've been arrested."

"And I also know that he's been locked up in the governor's mansion in the 'City of Generosity,' Bayam, for at least a few weeks," Rejod said with a smile.

what?
Darkwell paused, then continued, "The die."

“The dice were also taken away and taken back to Bayam along with Roy King, right?” Rachaud continued. “I already know about that.”

Darkwell was dumbfounded.

"Then all my hard work and difficulty in getting here has been completely meaningless?"

He said, dumbfounded.

If I had known I wouldn't need to report any information, I would have stayed in my pharmacy and avoided all these dangers.
"No choice in fate is without meaning."

With a charlatan-like smile, Richard said, "You must be tired from your journey. Go and rest first."

A dazed Darkwell was then taken away by the bell-ringer, Cano, to rest elsewhere. Luzer noticed Rijkaard watching him and, realizing the man might have something to say, gestured for Anderson to leave as well.

Before long, only Luze and Rijkaard remained in the room.

"Sir, is there anything you wish to instruct me on?"

Lu Ze asked.
