Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 489 Meeting
After more than ten hours of sailing at full speed, Luzer's fleet finally reached the waters near Bayam.

Of course, the entire fleet entering the port would be too conspicuous. As always, he gave orders for the fleet to wander in waters outside the normal shipping route, while he and Anderson secretly landed on Blue Mountain Island.

The entire island was bustling with activity, its prosperity surpassing that of any of the islands I had visited before. Yet, all of this was built upon the oppression of the local people. The lowest and most arduous jobs were performed by them, who had been reduced to slavery.

"Captain, should we scout out the location first?"

Strolling through the bustling streets of Bayam, Anderson asked eagerly, still unaware of Luzer's specific plans.

"No rush, come see someone with me first."

Lu Ze answered.

Meeting someone?

Anderson was somewhat surprised, and followed Lu Ze through a maze of turns until they arrived at a secluded corner.

There, people had been waiting for quite some time.

"Tap, tap."

The man removed his top hat, put on a very thin glove, and walked over with steady steps.

这 是
Using the dim light in the alley, Anderson carefully examined the other person's face. The more he looked, the more familiar the face seemed, until he finally connected it with a recently famous figure.

“German Sparrow?”

He raised an eyebrow and called out the other person's name.

The adventurer who killed the second mate of the Blood General... Hmm, he seems to have some strength, but he's still a bit behind me, the former strongest hunter.

The person the captain wanted to see was actually him?

"it's me."

The other person replied calmly, their gaunt and cold face devoid of any expression, "You're late."

"Hey buddy, watch your attitude."

Anderson chuckled, somewhat displeased, "Our captain is a Sequence 4 demigod; it's rather impolite of you to speak like that."

How dare an adventurer who has just gained some fame speak so arrogantly?
"."

Gehrman Sparrow did not answer, but simply stared directly at Anderson, appearing very aloof.

"brush!"

A chilling, intensely hungry sensation instantly enveloped him. It was as if a ferocious beast was writhing in the void, yearning to devour fresh flesh and blood.

what the hell!

Anderson felt a chill run down his spine, his intuition immediately alerting him. He instantly retreated, creating distance between them.

Haha, Klein, he's really nailed the crazy adventurer persona.
Seeing Anderson's frightened expression, Lu Ze chuckled inwardly, but didn't stop him. He knew his colleague's true nature and knew that the other wouldn't actually attack Anderson like that.

"Alright, this kind of thing is irrelevant."

He waved his hand, signaling Anderson to step back.

However, with his first mate present, Klein had to maintain his aloof persona, making proper communication impossible.
"Anderson, you've seen the person. Now, let's take a stroll around the area around the Governor's Mansion and familiarize ourselves with the terrain."

Lu Ze said this.

In other words, you want to scout out the location, right? Go ahead and do it.

"Okay."

Anderson replied with a smile, glanced at the adventurer again, and left the alley.

"call"

Klein seemed relieved, wiped his face, and returned to his original appearance.

"Hehe, you scared my first mate." Lu Ze chuckled, then asked, "How's the situation now?"

"According to the local servants in the governor's mansion, they saw a red-haired, noble-looking woman staying in a guest room in the governor's mansion, who looked exactly like 'Red-Haired Elaine'."

Klein said in a deep voice.

Based on this, it's basically confirmed that it's "Red-haired Elaine".

Luze nodded. "What about Roy King?"

Before setting off, he obtained a portrait of Roy King from Darkwell and passed it on to Klein in advance.

“A servant who brought food to the governor’s dungeon in the middle of the night discovered that many more guards had been added to the outermost cell,” Klein replied. “The person they are guarding is Roy King.”

Using the "Scepter of the Sea God," Klein successfully usurped the position of "Sea God" from Kavituwa. He used the scepter to issue divine pronouncements, directing all believers to search for clues for him. Coincidentally, the locals widely worshipped the "Sea God," allowing Klein to obtain a wealth of useful information from them.

Then there is nothing more to say.

Lu Ze thought to himself, "I should go to the Governor's Mansion."

"besides,"

Klein didn't stop talking; instead, he continued sharing information.

He has so much to say, and it really wouldn't be appropriate for him to speak if Anderson were there.

He handed me an open sheet of paper. "This is a rough layout of the Governor's Mansion. The main building is in the center at the front, and Elaine the Red lives in a guest room on the second floor. She doesn't leave her room much, and her servants bring her her meals. The dungeon is located in the basement of the annex at the back."

"Because the main building is where the governor rests, it is heavily guarded, and the same applies to the dungeon."

"And what about the level of guards?"

Lu Ze asked, "What's the highest sequence number?"

"There are definitely extraordinary individuals among the guards in the Governor's Mansion, but their exact strength is hard to determine. Considering the Governor's wealth and status, I basically believe that the guards' strength is at most Sequence 5."

A demigod is already an extraordinary being in the current world; a governor wouldn't be able to get this level of protection.

That is not bad.

Lu Ze thought to himself.

But what Klein said next made him uneasy.

“However, outside the Governor’s Mansion, there are at least two Sequence 4s and one Sequence 3 in Bayam at the moment. The two Sequence 4s are Admiral Emilius and Chunas, the deputy director of MI9. The Sequence 3 is 'Sea King' Yern Cortman of the Church of Storms.”

"If we make too much of a fuss at the Governor's Palace, they will find out sooner or later."

Good guy.

Lu Ze couldn't help but smack his lips.

When he attacked the Sodrak Palace, the royal palace of Backlund, the two demigods encountered no more than this kind of situation!

Compared to then, he has now advanced to a Sequence 4 demigod, and his strength has greatly increased. However, he still finds it difficult to deal with so many high-sequence enemies. Although he could unleash the Blood River at full power and fight them if absolutely necessary, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be necessary to go to such lengths.

"Then I think we still need to discuss the implementation plan carefully."

Lu Ze said in a deep voice.

"How about finding someone who knows the inside story?"

Klein's eyes flickered for a moment before he said, "The Hanged Man is also on the island. He understands the Church of Storms and is quite experienced, so he might be able to offer us some new ideas."

Is the Hanged Man also in Bayam?

Lu Ze was somewhat surprised, but quickly nodded. "Okay, I'm also very interested in his suggestion."
