Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 28Chapter28 Qilingos
Asking Mr. Fool's favored ones for help... Alice lowered her head, bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, and coughed twice to hide her barely restrained laughter.

Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, responded more and more skillfully under the cover of gray mist: "The premise is that my beloved happens to be in Backlund."

"Okay." Alger looked away with some disappointment and some anticipation.

"What's so special about Qilingers' magical item?" Audrey began to inquire about the target of her mission, and Alice quietly pricked up her ears.

Facing Audrey's question, Alger seemed to have been prepared for it. He answered without hesitation: "The real name of that magical item is not known to everyone, but people who know a little about it call it 'The Creeping Hunger' Zillinger." Si must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living human being every other day, otherwise it will take its own master instead.”

This description made Alice frown. She had a natural aversion to such evil objects that thirsted for human blood. She had never seen the cruelty of the otherworldly world.

"This is an important clue that can be used to find Qilingos." Audrey frowned slightly and seemed to dislike this magical item.

"Yes, but in a metropolis with at least five million people, the disappearance of a few homeless people will not be noticed." Alger reminded, which made Alice suddenly pause. She realized that in the past Alice is also a wandering girl who goes missing without being noticed.

Alger continued to add: "Ever since he got the 'Creeping Hunger', Qilingos has become very difficult to deal with. He was originally just a 'Wind Blessed' with good extraordinary abilities in the fields of water, wind and weather, but Later, people discovered that he could make his targets go crazy, he could enter other people's dreams, he could summon light to purify the dead, he could enhance himself with singing, and he could take on the appearance of different people. He was almost omnipotent."

At the end of his words, Alger made a guess: "We suspect that these are caused by the magical item 'Creeping Hunger'..."

"Shepherd!" Derrick and Alice blurted out almost in unison.

Klein also thought about this matter - after all, there is a shepherd in Tingen City, and the information about the shepherd has been disclosed to every Nighthawk.

"Shepherd?" Audrey and Alger asked at the same time.

Alice looked at Derrick, stopped him who wanted to explain aloud with her eyes, and then raised her eyebrows at Audrey and Alger.

"I will try to help you find out more information you want, or you can also propose other rewards, Mr. Fool can bear witness to this." Alger said immediately.

"I can also pay." Audrey immediately said.

"Mr. 'Sun' can supplement what I said incompletely." Alice glanced at the simple Derrick, and she realized that this child was purely worrying, "I will split it evenly with Mr. 'Sun' This reward...well, we will talk about the details later - now I just need news about the School of Life and clues about the Extraordinary of the 'monster' path."

Derrick, who realized the value of his intelligence, glanced at Alice gratefully. Although Alger regretted that he couldn't get the news for nothing, he still accepted it. Audrey was obviously aware of Derrick's innocence, and at the same time, her trust in Alice was a little higher - after all, Alice was really doing a kind thing. Then Alice spoke slowly:

"'Shepherd' is Sequence 5 of the 'Secret Prayer' path, which is a path controlled by the Aurora Society. The characteristics of the magical item you listed are very similar to the ability of 'Shepherd'.

"'Shepherds' can 'herd' souls, including resentful spirits and evil spirits. They can swallow souls into their bodies, drive these souls, and use the extraordinary abilities of these souls, just like herding lambs for the gods.

"There is a limit to the number of souls that a 'Shepherd' can graze, but they can be replaced. A 'Shepherd' who makes a reasonable combination of extraordinary abilities is recognized as the strongest person in encounters with demigods and below."

After saying this, Alice looked at Derrick, and Derrick shook his head: "Miss Destiny gave a very comprehensive introduction. I have nothing to add."

So, Alice looked at Alger and Audrey with warning eyes: "If you encounter Qilingos by chance, my only suggestion is to run away."

"Encountering the strongest person below a demigod" is a rather empty concept for Alice. After all, she has never even seen a few serious battles between extraordinary people. However, under Dunn's repeated warnings, she After all, I remembered running away when I met Mr. A.

Alger and Audrey nodded. Compared to Audrey, who, like Alice, lacked knowledge of battles between extraordinary people, Alger's expression was more cautious. He had to know better that "the strongest in encounters are those below demigods." He also understands how terrifying the reasonable combination of multiple extraordinary abilities is for low-sequence extraordinary people.

But just to investigate intelligence, the adventurous Miss Justice thought she could give it a try: "Mr. Hanged Man, I am willing to accept this commission, but I cannot guarantee that I can find 'Hurricane Lieutenant General' Qilingos."

"There is no better answer than this. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, as long as you try, I will pay you a certain amount of compensation, such as some secret knowledge and intelligence. If you can succeed, maybe I can provide it to you directly." The main material of the Mind Reader, of course, provided we know what it is." The Hanged Man's attitude was quite generous, and Alice thought that the information she wanted might be available.

"make a deal."

The deal came to an end in Miss Justice's voice, so with Klein's permission and help, Alger embodied the portrait of Chillinges.

Alice also remembered Qilingos's appearance - well, what if it comes in handy?

This one of the seven pirate generals has a unique wide chin, brown hair tied into an ancient warrior bun on the back of his head, and dark green eyes that seem to be smiling, but extremely cold.

After the transaction, it was time to share information and discuss. After Alger and Audrey fell silent, Alice pondered and spoke for the first time in this session: "...an ordinary woman because of Due to some unexpected reason, she became pregnant with the true...son of the Fallen Creator. Mr. A of the Aurora Society left Backlund for this reason. Perhaps Mr. A will return to Backlund with her in the near future."
