"What's so special about that amazing item from Zielingus?" asked Audrey with some confidence.

She had thought about it for a moment just now, and she actually felt that she had a good ability to find people in Beckland.

First of all, her father is the top rich man in the aristocracy, with a good reputation and connections, and she herself is also very popular among the younger generation, so there are many resources that can be inadvertently used in the middle and upper classes of society.

Secondly, the two extraordinary friends she currently knows also have their own circles, the "apprentice" Furth is a former clinic doctor, and now a new writer, and knows many people in the literary world, in the publishing industry, and among middle-class doctors.

The "arbiter" Hugh Dilcha, who has long helped the middle and lower classes coordinate and arbitrate incidents, is well-known in the eastern district of Beckland, in the working class, and in many gangster organizations, and has many hidden channels.

Coupled with the other extraordinary people they have come into contact with, and the circle that other extraordinary people have expanded, the energy of searching for people should not be underestimated.

Faced with the question of "justice", "The Hanged Man" Alger almost did not hesitate, and replied directly without thinking:

"The true name of the magical object is unknown, but those who know a little about it call it 'Wriggling Hunger,' and Chillingus must satisfy it every other day with the soul and flesh of a living man, or it will take its place with its own master. ”

"This is an important clue that can be used to find Ziringus. Audrey said with a slight frown.

She felt unwell and disgusted from the bottom of her heart for the evil object that thirsted for the blood and soul of the living.

"Yes, but in a metropolis of at least five million people, the disappearance of a few homeless people goes unnoticed. Alger reminded and said, "Ever since getting 'Wriggling Hunger,' Ziringers has become very difficult to deal with. ”

"He was originally just a 'wind-bearer' with good extraordinary abilities in the fields of water, wind, and weather, but later, it was discovered that he could make targets go berserk, enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead, enhance himself with singing, and transform into different people's faces...... Almost anything. "We suspect it's all ...... from the magical item 'Wriggling Hunger'"

Before he finished speaking, "Sun" Derick Berg, who was quietly listening, was stunned and blurted out:

"Shepherd!"

"Shepherd"?Sequence 5 of the "Secret Invoker" and "Listener" path?Well, there is a new elder in the "Council of Six" in the Silver City who is the "Shepherd", and it is said that he is strong enough to resist the strong man of Sequence 4, uh, an evil spirit of the same rank...... Crane's facial expression changed slightly, but it was all obscured by the gray mist, and at this time, the audience did not pay attention to him.

"Shepherd?"

"Shepherd?"

"Justice" and "The Hanged Man" spoke at the same time, one completely puzzled, the other slightly surprised, as if somewhere had heard the name "Shepherd" and knew something, but did not know the details.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Darik suddenly panicked, no matter how silent and introverted, sad and depressed, he was still just a teenager.

He stammered and explained:

"What I mean by this is that the characteristics listed by the 'Hanged Man' are very similar to the extraordinary abilities of the 'Shepherd' profession, each of whom is able to devour the souls of others, including resentful spirits and evil spirits, into their bodies, and drive these souls in a unique way, using certain abilities in correspondence, as if they were herding lambs for the gods. ”

"So, no one knows exactly how much power the 'shepherds' have, it only depends on how many extraordinary souls they devour, and this makes them look very terrifying, almost equal to the powerhouses of the high rank. ”

"But there is a suspicion that there is a limit to the number of souls that the 'shepherds' can devour and graze, but they can be replaced. ”

It turns out that the meaning of "shepherd" is this...... the sequence path mastered by the "Aurora Society" is as weird as ever...... No wonder the object of their worship is the "true Creator" and, no, the "fallen Creator...... Klein was stunned, but did not nod, showing that he had already known.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart:

"Sun", you are really just a child, this is very important news, very important information, can be exchanged for something valuable, you actually said it like this......!

Well, the magical item that needs to be sealed, "Wriggling Hunger", shows a lot like Sequence 5 "Shepherd...... Could it be that many of the sealed items are also equivalent to those in a certain sequence of classes, the kind that are out of control...... I don't know which sequence of Orions puppets in Seal "2-049" will resemble them......

After listening to the explanation of "The Sun", "The Hanged Man" Alger nodded as if he had solved some mystery, and was silent for a while.

"Justice," Audrey asked more curiously, "What sequence is the shepherd?"

"The 'secret prayer of the people' pathway, 5. Klein seized the opportunity and nodded without a trace to show that he knew everything.

"'The Secret Prayer Man'...... Audrey, the ...... of the Aurora Society, suddenly thought of Mr. A, who was suspected of being an envoy of the "Aurora Society", and her mood suddenly became a little heavy.

She began to think seriously, thinking about what price she could use in exchange for Mr. Fool's action to easily deal with that disgusting guy, but after thinking about it, she didn't think of how to impress Mr. Fool.

Sure enough, the big man who is close to the gods is not so easy to impress...... There aren't many items and things they're interested in...... Audrey sighed in her heart.

Giving up her impulse for a while, she nodded gratefully to the "sun", thanking him for giving everyone a new guess about "wriggling hunger", so that she could make a more reasonable and effective response.

"Mr. Hangman, I am willing to accept this commission, but I do not guarantee that I will find 'Lieutenant General Hurricane' Ziringus. Audrey turned to look across and said.

"There's no better answer, whether you succeed or not, if you try, I'll pay you for some of your knowledge, such as some secret knowledge and information, and if you succeed, maybe I can provide you with the main material for the 'mind reader', of course, if we know what. Alger promised, with rare generosity.

"Deal. Audrey pursed her lips and replied with a light smile.

Next, with Klein's permission and help, Alger embodied a portrait of Ziringers.

One of the seven pirate generals had a distinctive wide chin, brown hair tied back in the back of his head in the bun of an ancient samurai, and dark green eyes that seemed to be smiling, but unusually cold.

After discussing the matters that should be discussed, and sharing the information that should be shared, Klein, the fool who stood on the top, smiled and announced that the day was over, and then saw "Justice" and "Hanged Man" get up and salute quickly, and see "Sun" imitate half a beat slower.

He pressed his right hand forward, cutting off contact, but he didn't leave immediately.

............

The City of Silver, the Berg Family.

Daerik looked at the familiar surroundings and looked at the dark sky with lightning outside, and was a little stunned for a moment.

But he soon came to his senses, dug through parchment and quills, and wrote down the recipe for the "Praiser" that he had forcibly memorized.

He looked at it several times and finally confirmed that there was no problem.

Darek wasn't worried that he would be suspicious of the upper echelons of Silver City if he possessed the "Praiser" formula and became an alternative extraordinary, because in each of the previous expeditions, members of the elite team would more or less get some recipes, materials, and strange items from monsters and abandoned and destroyed cities.

And in this process, it is quite normal for someone to hide a little, as long as it does not involve too important ones, the captains and high-level officials tacitly agree not to pursue it.

Over time, some recipes began to circulate through unofficial channels in Silver City, and some became the foundation of the family's strength for generations - the dark things around Silver City were relatively fixed, some materials were easy to obtain, and some had to go deep into the Cursed Lands to have any hope of encountering.

Laying away the parchment, Derrick remembered the advice of the mysterious fool, so he went to the humble bedroom, bowed his head, and prayed simply:

"Fools who do not belong to this era. ”

"The mysterious lord above the gray mist. ”

"The King of Yellow and Black who rules good fortune. ”

......

- Giants are very ancient languages, and they have mysteries for sacrifices, prayers, and spells, so Deric doesn't need to be converted to Old Hermes.

............

"Fools who do not belong to this era. ”

......

Crane, who sat silently at the head of the ancient bronze table, heard the sound of supplication lingering in his ears, and saw the crimson star corresponding to the "sun" expanding and contracting.

But he didn't try to make contact, and planned to wait for the next party to respond ten minutes earlier, so that the Silver City teenager was ready to be alone.

And the most important thing is that he avoids the conversion of time and date, and reduces the possibility of the Fool's powerful image being damaged.

Confirming this, Klein wrapped himself in spirituality and fell sharply.

Back in his room, Crane lifted the spiritual wall and took a short break before preparing to go out again.

There is no need for him to play the role of a soothsayer anymore, so he doesn't need to go to the divination club as a fixed schedule, and he just needs to go there occasionally to earn extra money and perform the duties of the night watchman.

Originally, Crane wanted to be lazy for an afternoon, but then he thought that there was one more thing he hadn't done, and he had to pick himself up again - according to the agreement, he had to go to Detective Henry today to get the final report of the Red Chimney investigation.

"Hey, it's said that the big guys are very busy...... After that, I had to find time to go with Benson and Melissa to the 'Tingen City Help House Servants' association to find a good handyman's maid......" Crane struggled to change his shirt, put on a black tuxedo jacket, and walked out of the door like a gentleman with a half-height silk top hat and silver cane.

On Beswick Street, under Henry's private detective office, Klein put on his mask, lowered his hat, and quickly crossed the street and entered the staircase.
