Mystery: The Last Shepherd.

Chapter 650 Lovia's File

The battle against the Backlund Aurora Society has now come to an end, with both Luzer and Klein having gained something.

Luze herded a Sequence 4 Witch King, and with Butis's corrupted traits and numerous strange insects, he obtained a 0 item.

A Class-A Sealed Artifact. Klein successfully herded Louis Wayne, obtained the "Traveler's Gate," received some Butis insects, and also successfully made contact with the Abraham family. If the path of the "Diviner" becomes difficult, he can switch to the "Apprentice" path.

The two arrived in haste and left just as quickly. On the banks of the Tasok River, only Dorian and Fors, master and apprentice, remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"teacher..."

Fors hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "There's no need to say anything more."

Dorian shook his head.

He's received so much information today that he doesn't want to hear anything more.

He took out a briefcase, carefully put away Louis Wayne's head and Butis's eyeballs, and then straightened up.

"I'm going back now."

Dorian said to Fors, his expression serious, "All my addresses and information will be invalidated immediately. Don't try to contact me until I reach you."

"what?"

Fors was startled. "Teacher, you...you don't want me anymore?"

He had only contacted "Temperance" to hunt down Louis Wayne to please his teacher. But after all these events, Dorian wanted to sever ties with him?

"That's not true, you did a great job."

Dorian shook his head. "But I have to be responsible to my family... I will contact you again after I have analyzed the situation and figured it out."

The revenge has been achieved, the fool's faith, the family curse... each matter is extremely important and must be carefully considered. We must communicate with other members of Abraham's family and make a decision together.

"and."

He glanced at Fors. "You still have the nerve to worry about me? The task that lady gave you wasn't easy either."

"...ah!"

Fors was taken aback, then her whole body tensed up.

Oh my god, I almost forgot!

[Temperance] Mr.'s commission, Miss Messenger's high standards... If I don't finish it, or if I don't write it well, I'll really get into trouble!

"Teacher, you're right."

Fors also became anxious and hurriedly said to Dorian, "I really don't have time to waste... I'll wait for your contact. She needs to go back to Backlund to finish her manuscript, and she needs a lot of coffee, tobacco, paper, and ink!"

The master and apprentice said their goodbyes hastily on the banks of the Tasok River, each going about their own business.

A land forsaken by God.

Silver City, the library room in the center of the central round tower.

This was a large, cramped storage room, filled with numerous bookshelves piled high with all sorts of books... parchment scrolls, monster hides, normal books, stone tablets engraved with writing, battle logs, potion recipes, personnel files, mad and twisted poetry, ancient tomes salvaged from ruins... from ancient times to the present, from the normal to the bizarre. Everything imaginable was there.

For most residents of Silver City, this room is off-limits, but today a new visitor has arrived.

"Elder Lovia's file..."

Derrick unfolded a rolled-up animal hide and tried to read the text on it.

In a barren environment like Silver City, papermaking was practically impossible. Apart from ancient texts, the vast majority of written materials were made from processed animal hides.

"It's too dark, I can't see anything..."

He squinted and stared for a while, then couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

Although he had received the chief's approval, the guard of the library did not allow him to take anything away; he could only read it on the spot. Furthermore, to prevent fires, the lighting here was generated from the bones of fireflies, which, while safe, was extremely dim.

Derrick frowned and stared at it for a moment, then suddenly realized what he had done and slapped his head.

"brush!"

He raised his hand, and a clear golden light emanated from his palm, illuminating the entire dimly lit room.

How could a "sun priest" be troubled by sunlight!

Derrick couldn't help but chuckle. He had been so focused on the contents of the file that he had completely forgotten about the abilities he had acquired through his own means.

"What happened?"

The guard's tense voice came from outside the room; he must have noticed the light emanating from Derrick as well.

"It's nothing."

Derrick raised his voice and replied, "It is I who am using my abilities to illuminate the way."

After dealing with the guards, he turned back and, using the good lighting, went back to read Elder Lovia's file.

Name: Lovia Tiffany

Gender: Female

[Date of Birth: XX years after the Cataclysm]

[Position: Elder of the Six-Member Council]

[Risk of getting out of control: High; suspected special connection with a hidden entity (Note: speculated to be hostile to the entity behind Derrick Berg; the two are strictly prohibited from being alone under any circumstances)]

[Family Relationships: Parents (deceased), Husband (deceased), Sister (healthy, no risk of death, ready to carry out the patricide at any time)]

Killing one's parents...

Derrick's expression darkened.

The curse of Silver City prevents its inhabitants from finding peace after death, instead transforming them into terrifying evil spirits. Only those killed by their loved ones can find rest. He himself had killed his parents.

It was precisely because of his despair at killing his parents that he tried to pray to the gods and unexpectedly established a connection with Mr. Fool.

That's right, I'm going to save Silver City!

With this thought in mind, Derrick felt a surge of fighting spirit and continued reading.

[Security Level: 1 (Access is granted to all matters except Top Secret)]

Top Secret?

A secret that even the elders of the "Council of Six" might not know... Could it be that only the Chief knows?

Upon reading this, Derrick's mind wandered.

But he quickly regained his senses.

No, no!

Don't waste the opportunity the Chief has given me. What I should do is complete Mr. Temperance's request and investigate Elder Lovia's past...

He rallied and looked down.

Then, Derrick's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression turned surprised.

The following line of text reads:

[Pathways and Sequences: From XX to X years, "Reader" pathway sequence 6, Scholar; From XX years to present, "Mystic" pathway sequence 5, Shepherd]

Elder Lovia... she didn't actually advance through the "Mystic Prayer" route, but instead became a "Shepherd" through a different path?

Derrick found it hard to believe, because as far back as he could remember, Elder Lovia had been a mysterious and powerful shepherd. He never imagined that she hadn't been an extraordinary being in this path before!

So why did she switch to the shepherd's path?

What happened in XX year, XX year...?

Derrick immediately went to look up some other records.

Besides Lovia's file, there were many other materials on the table, including her combat logs, documents left over from various procedures, etc., all of which Derrick had asked the administrator to find for him.

He quickly found a combat log from that year.

Besides Lovia, her husband's name was also on the list of people who went out.
