Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1029: The Perfect and Elegant Maid
Miss Hawkins' forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat - at some point, three bladeless knives quietly emerged from the shadows in front of her.

In just a moment, she would be stabbed in the eyes by the three daggers!
Miss Hawkins certainly knew it.

——This is the flying knife used by Hawkeye’s assassins!

But it usually flew out of nowhere and pierced directly into her or her colleagues' bodies... This was the first time she saw a flying knife that was not shot out. Fortunately, she dodged it in time...

But when she thought of this, Miss Hawkins suddenly stiffened.

she……

...Did he really escape?

I felt that it suddenly became extremely quiet behind me.

The enemy had clearly appeared, but there was no movement at all...

After realizing this, Hawkins felt sweat pouring down his back.

She didn't even dare look back.

But the more she thought about it, the more frightened and curious she became.

Finally, after who knows how long of silence... Hawkins couldn't help but look back.

——Just a glance.

She felt as if the blood in her body had almost frozen.

The former companions are now divided and evenly distributed.

Everyone is like you in me, and I am like you. My body is now as thin as one centimeter square...but my height has also dropped from 1.7 meters or 1.8 meters to one centimeter.

When were they killed?
Miss Hawkins' teeth were chattering and sweat was pouring down her back.

——Didn’t they just complete the barrier just a few seconds ago?

Why did they all die in just a moment?

"You've got to leave him alive—and ask all the questions you need, Miss Hawkins."

Imitating what "Lord Zeller" had just said, Lily spoke slowly.

A maid dressed in a black and white maid dress, with her eyes closed, giving people a sense of gentleness and tranquility, gradually emerged from the shadows.

Her right hand was clenched into a fist, with three hiltless blades sandwiched between her fingers.

"Surrender."

Lily opened her eyes slightly and looked at Hawkins: "If you surrender, you can live."

"I...I surrender! I surrender!"

The embarrassed Hawkins shouted without hesitation.

Her voice was almost a wail, without any trace of the cruelty and arrogance she had shown towards Zula before.

But at this moment... the gray spider silk condensed in the four corners of the ceiling of the room at some point, suddenly popped out and directly hung Hawkins up!
"Tell me," Lily said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

"We are... We are here on the orders of the Earl!"

After being hung in the air, the Moon Girl with long black hair stabbed her master in the back without hesitation.

"What are you here for? Which count?"

Lily's voice was a little unhappy: "Don't make me ask before you answer."

"It's Count Rogers! Lord Dio de Rogers..."

Miss Hawkins, the Moon Child, spilled the beans: "Lord Zeller... I mean, Alan Zeller was originally tracking a key that could allow people to dream in the flesh, and then the key was taken away by the thief Arsene.

"This afternoon, after Alan Zeller reported to the Earl, the Earl asked us to come and take the key away... It would be best if the Phantom Thief Arsene could get lost in the dream world. To do this, all we have to do is kill the dreamer himself. If he loses the beacon that leads him back to the material world, he won't be able to stay in the dream world for long."

"In other words," Lily repeated, "you hope to kill Miss Mia, so that Yasin, who entered the dream world through the Dream Key, will be lost or even die. Am I right?"

“…Yes, that’s right…”

Miss Hawkins was very uneasy: "I, I have told you everything... I have already surrendered, Master! We can talk it out..."

From her well-behaved appearance, it was hard to tell that she was shouting about skinning Zula a minute ago.

But the next moment, Hawkins suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Lily touched the air with her right hand as if playing the piano, and her body gradually began to feel a sense of separation.

"Wait, wait... Sir... Please... I have told you everything... I have told you everything... You promised..." Hawkins spoke incoherently, his voice half trembling and half desperate. But there was no trace of elegance and composure.

"what."

Lily said leisurely: "I lied to you - you deserve to die."

The next moment, Hawkins' body was cut into pieces by countless thin shadow lines.

Under the adhesion of the gray spider web, it gushed and exploded in all directions like a fountain. However, these small pieces of meat were perfectly sealed into ruby-like blocks and adhered to the spider webs, with only a small amount of blood spilling on the ground. It looked like a small part of the red ice that had melted.

"Okay, you're safe. Miss Zula."

Lily looked at Zula, who was curled up under the blanket and shivering, and her tone was calm and gentle.

She bowed slightly to Zula, like a maid greeting a guest. But her face showed no humility as a servant, only charming calmness and confidence: "It's best not to have any expectations of these monsters, they are just a group of man-eating beasts."

"Miss……"

"My name is Lily."

"Miss Lily..."

Zula hesitated for a while, then wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and said seriously and politely: "Thank you. I will keep your words in mind... I will not be deceived by the Son of the Moon again..."

She meant it from the heart.

After witnessing the depravity and madness of these Moon Children... and seeing that they would also be ugly before dying, Zula suddenly felt that being a Moon Child was not so good. The things she had been pursuing so passionately, now seemed to be nothing more than this... It just made her feel dull.

"Don't think too much. I'm just trying to protect my young master."

Lily's tone was gentle but a little distant, but even so, every word she said was very serious: "You don't need to live for anyone else. You just need to live for yourself - that's how my young master taught me."

"--Really?"

Aiwass's smiling voice came from the inner room: "I don't remember saying that.

"But I'm happy...you've really grown a lot, Lily."

The next moment, Aiwass and Yasen pushed the door open and walked out.

Seeing Aiwass return safely, Lily's face suddenly showed more smiles and her eyes became brighter.

But Sherlock was still nowhere to be seen in the room.

Did it fail, or...

Lily glanced around and then looked at Aiwass.

“——It worked.”

Aiwass answered simply, "But Sherlock's soul is not here - he has returned to his body. We must go to the Duke of Vendome urgently, and we may not be back for a day or two. There is not much time left, and I will try to solve all problems within two days.

"We will take the key away, but there may be people who are not well-informed who will continue to come here. Lily, you stay here and protect the two ladies - and the dolls we brought back, be careful not to damage them. We can keep in touch through the little crow at any time, call me if you have anything."

"clear."

Lily nodded and gave a brief reply: "I'll stay here and kill anyone who comes."

Her words contained the murderous intent of a beast, sheathed yet still sharp.

The maid who used to be naive and self-deprecating has now gradually become free and confident.

In the dream world, Yasen, who was like a comedian, also walked up to comfort the crying Zula. At this moment, he looked calm and reliable, and soon coaxed Zula to sleep.

After wiping away the tears of his little lover, Yasen quietly carried her back to her room and let her sleep well.

When Yasen came out again, there was still some worry on his face... Obviously, he regretted the trouble he had caused.

Without Aiwass's help, he might have really lost himself in the dream world. His two lovers would have been killed by himself because of his reckless behavior... Even so, he couldn't save Sherlock.

Fortunately, Aiwass is here.

"Let's go rescue Sherlock."

Thinking of this, Yasen whispered to Aiwass, "If we delay, something bad will happen... It would be bad if he is put into the dream world again. Then we might have to go back and look for him again..."

"No," Aiwass replied calmly, "the Duke of Vendôme would not do that.

"—because I've already reached Iris. He better not."
