You call this a shield?

"Hmm... Let me see, turn right at the next intersection and go up here? Are there any stairs near here?"

Holding the guide map, Sheld looked up to find the way. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure passed by the corner of his eyes.

Map panel, light green dots.

Sheld put away the guide map, chased after him in two or three steps, and then slowed down in the crowd.

"Commander, why did you suddenly run away?"

Ikes followed behind. She was small in stature and there were so many people here. Sheld suddenly ran up and nearly lost her.

"Follow me, I have encountered a very interesting target."

Sheld lowered his head slightly, and walked forward in small steps.

The interesting target he mentioned was the old acquaintance who had been mentioned several times before—Meryl Whiteclaw.

He was originally a ranger, and later became a dark ranger, and now he is just an ordinary person.

As it should be.

but……

"investigation."

"Variation monster Dark Ranger Meryl. Monster rating: Warrior level. Skills: Death Sniper, Corrosion Arrow Rain, Threat Warning, Trap Mastery, Dark Guidance, Shadow Arrow. Evaluation of the Goddess: For some reason, she has once again become a The Dark Ranger is just different from ordinary monsters in that she has a very firm belief in the Forest Goddess, which allows her to maintain herself."

Get rid of the invasion of the abyss and achieve yourself, right?

This kind of plot is of course good, and Shield has no prejudice against those dark heroes.

But no matter what, Meryl turned back into a monster after the purification was completed, and it was hard to suspect that there was something special in it.

Shield chose to follow.

Warrior-level monsters are swaggering through the elf king's capital... I don't know how these elves will react when they know that this elf, which looks not much different from ordinary elves, is a monster.

However, Meryl, who was originally a dark ranger, should have pale hair, dark blue skin, and scarlet eyes, completely unlike an elf.

The Meryl in front of her was extremely normal, with ruddy flesh-colored skin, blond hair and blue eyes, and a standard elf appearance.

camouflage?still……

Meryl's pace wasn't too slow, maintaining a fairly steady and fast pace, and soon she turned into an alley.

Sheld frowned, and told Ix who was behind her, "Be ready to fight anytime later."

"Oh……"

Although I don't know who I can fight with, but the head of the group just listens to what he says.Ix gave up thinking.

Sheld doesn't know if he will encounter enemies, at least there are no red dots on the map panel for the time being, but the plot of entering the alley is usually followed to this place, and suddenly the people in front stop, and then the enemies behind him are blocked by the sudden appearance. dies, and then the protagonist falls into a fierce battle and loses track of the pursuer.

It's always good to be prepared.

Shield looked at the light green dot that was still moving on the map panel, and quickly followed it.

And just when Shield was about to continue to follow up, the green dot stopped.

"Tsk, sure enough..."

Shield looked behind him, but there was no one there.This point is expected to be a bit off, but Meryl in front did stop and turned around.

"Since when did you find out I was following?"

"Since I saw you."

Meryl's body was suddenly covered with a cloud of gray mist. The mist expanded and contracted twice, and then drifted away, revealing the appearance of a dark ranger.

Black mail, black cloak, and scarlet eyes.

"If you can see me, I can naturally see you too. Don't forget, I am a ranger."

"That's true."

Sheld nodded, "Long time no see, Meryl."

"Your little follower has changed?"

Meryl cast her gaze on Ix, obviously, she was more concerned about Neveu's situation.

"No, it's just that there are more companions. Neveu went shopping by himself, with other companions."

"Really..." Meryl snorted softly, "It seems that she has found a place that can take her in."

"Yes, she is doing very well now."

Speaking of this, Sheld suddenly changed his subject: "So, what about you, Meryl, when we got you out of the Demon Realm, you should no longer be a Dark Ranger."

"..."

Meryl didn't answer Shield's question, but looked up at the sky, and then said slowly: "For the sake of saving me, I give you a piece of advice, take your people away from the king Both. There's going to be chaos here soon."

"What do you mean?"

"You just need to leave."

A faint gray mist surrounded Meryl's body.

"That won't work."

Shield narrowed his eyes: "I'm currently employed by the Hunter's Hall to solve some problems related to the King's Capital and the Tree of Hera. As a former adventurer, you should know the difficulties of those of us who live together? You cooperate with us."

Volume 322 The Savior: Chapter 30 Chapter [-] Save the Tree

Sheld spoke very hard, and he didn't give in at all because the other party was a warrior-level monster.

The main reason is that on the map panel, the opponent is still light green and has not turned red, so there is still something to talk about.

It doesn't matter if you can't talk about it. You almost couldn't beat the Dark Ranger back then, but it doesn't mean you can't beat the Dark Ranger now. Sheld has improved to some extent, and he is just defeated.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little stiff.

But just like the information provided by the map panel, Shield's estimate is not bad.

Meryl quickly relented.

Although, it didn't give Sheld any good looks.

"Are you determined to wade through this muddy water?"

"It was entrusted to me." Sheld shrugged and spread his hands, "Besides, I have reasons why I can't give up."

I still need to borrow fire, if there are not so many moths, I will kill Enomas earlier, so that he will not dare to peep at himself, so as not to pop up from time to time, maybe one day he will come down and swallow him in one gulp .

This is a matter of life and death.

Just thinking about Sheld felt tired.

The earth is peeped by monsters, and the sky has to be peeped by gods.

Aside from these factors, the chaos of the elves is not beneficial to itself.

"As you please."

Meryl closed her eyes, and said in a cold voice: "The only thing I can tell you is that there is a high probability that the chaos will erupt in five days, and it may be earlier, because some people's actions have already alarmed the snake, if you have Act, better hurry."

"Why did you turn back into the Dark Ranger again, and why were you able to maintain..."

"That's my business."

Meryl opened her eyes, and a gray mist enveloped her body. The next second, the gray mist suddenly dissipated, and Meryl had disappeared.

This skill does not seem to be written in the investigation skills.

Was it with the help of some kind of magic tool?

Shield looked at the deserted alley and fell into deep thought. There was still a trace of Meryl on the map panel, and the other party was moving very fast.

This is not a trick of teleportation, it should be a short-distance disappearing movement.

Sheld didn't intend to catch up, firstly, his physical strength didn't support him to keep running forward, secondly, what if he could catch up?

People don't want to say, can Sheld capture him alive and torture him?

At the very least, maybe Meryl and Crow are not in the same group?Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed the information so generously.

However, it is also possible that he was tricked by tricks.

But considering the green dot judgment given by the map panel, Shield tends to trust the other party.

So, will there be a third force among them?

Sheld scratched his head, using his brain to analyze is troublesome, if possible, he would rather be a brainless thug.

"Captain, shall we continue shopping?"

Ix asked from behind.

"Don't go shopping, let's go back to find Hewei."

Time waits for no one, if it must be within five days, there is not much time left for them.

Moreover, Sheld needed to discuss with others about turning Meryl back into the Dark Ranger, what the failure of the purification meant.

Is Meryl falling again?Or purification itself has limitations.

Meryl herself is no longer a professional, will she still be a Dark Ranger if she falls again?These all have to be marked with a question mark.

……

"what……"

Sheld walked into Hewei's office, but what he didn't expect was that besides Hewei, Minahino was also here.

"Boy, is the date coming back so soon?"

"It's not a date, it's shopping."

Sheld glanced at the scattered wooden fragments and easily figured out where Minahino came in.

go to the window.

But I didn't expect that the window was nailed to death by wooden boards, as if I could walk.

Hewei's lizard face didn't show any expression, but judging from whether he would glance at the sawdust on the ground, he probably already had the alpaca running wild in his heart.

After a period of inexplicable silence, He Wei took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter with you coming to me on your own initiative?"

This is for Sheld.

Sheld stepped forward, found a sofa and sat down casually, with his arms propped on his thighs and his hands crossed and placed in front of his mouth.

"It just so happens that the two elders are here, I have something to report to you..."

Shield highlighted some of the things he had just met Meryl outside.

"Meryl has become a Dark Ranger again?"

Minahino sat across from Sheld, with Erlang's legs raised, and pondered: "I investigated her secretly before, but I really didn't find any traces of her becoming a dark ranger. Presumably her appearance is hidden by some kind of magic item." .”

"It means that someone provided her with magic props, and there are other people behind her."

Hervey quickly grasped the point.

The half-dragon looked thoughtful, and then said: "Maybe you don't need to think too complicated? Maybe it's provided by the White Claw Clan."

"There are basically no magic props in the recent material transaction records of the White Claw clan. They are all daily necessities and food."

Minahino shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be them."

"I think these things can be put aside for the time being. The other news this kid provided is the key point. If Meryl has little to do with this matter and won't hinder us, let's talk about it later."

Minahino quickly put down Meryl's question.

"Within five days, or even earlier... Hewei, are your people ready?"

"Not quite ready, but it shouldn't be a problem."

Hervey replied.

Sheld asked with some interest: "What preparations, can I know?"

"Yes." He Wei nodded and said, "The so-called preparation is to prevent those guys from jumping over the wall in a hurry. It should be known that if they want to complete a large-scale riot in the city, there must be a prerequisite."

"You mean...there is some way for gluttons to evolve together?"
