Requesting Mr. Fool's followers to help... Alice lowered her head, bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, and coughed twice to cover up her laughter that she almost couldn't control. Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the bronze long table, responded more and more skillfully under the cover of gray fog: "The premise is that my followers happen to be in Backlund." "Okay." Alger looked away with some disappointment and expectation. "What's so special about Qi Lingos's magical item?" Audrey began to inquire about the news of her mission target, and Alice also quietly pricked up her ears. Facing Audrey's question, Alger seemed to have been prepared. He answered without hesitation: "The real name of the magical item is unknown, but those who know it call it 'Creeping Hunger'. Qi Lingos must satisfy it with the soul and flesh of a living person every other day, otherwise it will replace its owner." This description made Alice frown. For this evil item that craves the blood of living people, she has a natural disgust for her who has not seen the cruelty of the extraordinary world. "This is an important clue that can be used to find Qilingos." Audrey frowned slightly and said, looking like she didn't like this magical item either. "Yes, but in a metropolis with at least five million people, the disappearance of a few homeless people will not be noticed." Alger reminded her, which made Alice suddenly pause. She realized that Alice in the past was also a homeless girl who would not be noticed if she disappeared. Alger continued to add: "Since he got the 'Creeping Hunger', Qilingos has become very difficult to deal with. He was originally just a 'Wind Blesser' with good extraordinary abilities in the fields of water, wind and weather, but later, people found that he could make the target go crazy, enter other people's dreams, summon light to purify the dead, strengthen himself with singing, and change into different people's appearances. He is almost omnipotent." At the end of his words, Alger made a guess: "We suspect that these are all brought by the magical item 'Creeping Hunger'..."
"Shepherd!" Derrick and Alice blurted out almost in unison. Klein also thought of this matter - after all, there is only one shepherd in Tingen City now, and the information about the shepherd has been made public to every night watcher. "Shepherd?" Audrey and Alger asked at the same time. Alice looked at Derrick, and stopped Derrick who wanted to explain with her eyes, and then raised her eyebrows and looked at Audrey and Alger. "I will try my best to help you find out more information you want, or you can also propose other rewards, and Mr. Fool can testify for this." Alger said immediately. "I can also pay the reward." Audrey also said immediately. "Mr. 'Sun' can supplement the incomplete content I said," Alice glanced at the innocent Derrick, and she realized that this child was purely worrying, "I will share this reward with Mr. 'Sun'... Well, we will talk about the details later - I only need the news of the School of Life and the clues of the Beyonder of the 'Monster' Path." Realizing the value of his intelligence, Derrick looked at Alice gratefully, and although Alger regretted that he could not get a piece of information for free, he still accepted it. Audrey obviously realized Derrick's innocence, and her trust in Alice was raised a little bit - after all, Alice was really doing something kind. So Alice spoke slowly: "'Shepherd' is the Sequence 5 of the 'Secret Prayer' path, which is the path mastered by the Aurora Club. The characteristics of the magical item you listed are very similar to the ability of the 'Shepherd'. "'Shepherd' can 'herd' souls, including resentful souls and evil spirits. They can devour souls into their bodies, drive these souls, and use the extraordinary abilities of these souls accordingly, just like herding lambs for the gods. "There is a limit to the number of souls that a 'shepherd' can herd, but they can be replaced. A 'shepherd' who makes a reasonable combination of extraordinary abilities is recognized as the strongest in encounters below demigod." After saying this, Alice looked at Derrick, so Derrick shook his head: "Ms. 'Destiny' has introduced it very comprehensively, and I have nothing to add." So, Alice looked at Alger and Audrey with a warning look: "If you encounter Qi Lingos, my only advice is to run away." "The strongest in encounters below demigod" is a rather empty concept for Alice. After all, she has not even seen a few battles between serious extraordinary people. However, under Dunn's repeated warnings, she finally remembered to run away if she met Mr. A. Alger and Audrey nodded. Compared to Audrey, who, like Alice, lacked knowledge of battles between Beyonders, Alger's expression was more cautious. He knew more about the value of "the strongest person in a battle below demigod" and how terrifying it was for low-sequence Beyonders to reasonably combine multiple Beyonder abilities. But it was just to investigate intelligence, and 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 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' Qilingos." "There is no better answer than this. Whether you succeed or not, as long as you make an attempt, I will pay you a certain amount of money later, such as some secret knowledge and intelligence. If you succeed, maybe I can directly provide you with the main materials of the "Mind Reader". Of course, the premise is that we have to know what it is." The Hanged Man's attitude was quite generous. Alice thought that the information she wanted might be settled. "Deal."
The deal was concluded in the voice of Miss Justice, so with Klein's permission and help, Alger manifested the portrait of Qi Lingos. Alice also remembered Qi Lingos's appearance - well, what if it can be used? This one of the seven pirate generals has a unique wide chin, brown hair tied into an ancient warrior's bun behind his head, and dark green eyes that seem to be smiling, but they are extremely cold. After the transaction, it was time to share intelligence and discuss. After Alger and Audrey fell silent, Alice pondered and spoke for the first time in this session: "...An ordinary woman became pregnant with the real...offspring of the fallen Creator due to some unexpected reasons. Mr. A of the Aurora Society left Backlund for this reason. Perhaps Mr. A will bring her back to Backlund soon."
