You call this a shield?

The so-called tribal special mark is a kind of symbol engraved on a specific position of the trunk.

Maybe it represents the direction, maybe it represents some kind of number.

You'll find it about the upper third of the tree's base.

And as it got deeper and deeper into the Silverpine Forest, the light became darker and darker. Sheld subconsciously took out a lantern from the storage compartment to light it, but was stopped by Dart.

"It's best not to light a lamp here."

"What?"

Are open fires banned in the forest?But the lantern used by this kind of adventurer is not a fire at all, but a stone made by an alchemist, and it will glow when you turn the switch on it. Shelder doesn't know the exact reason.

"It's related to the mythical story I told earlier."

Si Tike explained later: "Although I don't know if this place is really governed by the god of death, it's better to prohibit the light here, otherwise you will be attracted by the 'guardian' placed here by the god of death."

"protector?"

"Some say it's some kind of powerful beast, some say it's a legendary magical creature like a stone giant, and some say it's a ghost..."

Si Ti Ke shrugged: "Anyway, ghosts are the most unlikely."

"In short, don't just be right."

It's not that you can't see clearly, but it's really dark here. Thinking that Dart's family members all live here, Sheld can't help asking: "You have been hiding in this position?"

"how?"

"Wouldn't you be depressed if you don't see the sun for a long time?"

In addition, cats should prefer to bask in the sun. If there is no sun for a long time, various skin diseases may occur, which will affect bone development...

Of course, this is for regular cats.

Sheld didn't know if the civet clan had any special physique. After all, cats and humanoid cats couldn't be generalized.

"Depression? As long as there is food and drink, everyone will be happy."

simple pleasure.

Camel beasts can still eat well in this forest. Although they are huge, the trees here are bigger and the distance is relatively large, so they don't stumble too much.

And Sheard also has a good impression of this kind of woods, the temperature is suitable, and the humidity is not so high. Excluding this weird color, staying here has a unique refreshing feeling.

And at this moment, a slight but sharp flute sounded from above his head.

Sheld glanced at the map panel, and there were indeed white spots on it.

Dalt raised his head immediately, and took out from nowhere, a small object like a needle tube, and put it in his mouth. The rapid and loud sound was like birdsong in the morning.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow descended from the sky.

"Dahl, you seem to have brought some outsiders in."

Old and with a hoarse voice, he couldn't tell the difference between men and women.The person who came was also from the Civet Clan. According to the existing members of the Kakarot Clan, this was probably the only adult left behind by the Civet Clan, the old lady.Unlike Dalt, her fur is completely gray, tarnished, and slightly disheveled, almost blending in with the dominant colors of the Silverpine Forest.

"Dahl?"

Neveu muttered from behind.

"That's my nickname, you can call me that if you want."

Dalt turned back, and then greeted him: "Grandma Katia! I'm back!"

"investigation."

"Name: Katia Kakarot. Occupation: Shaman (staff class). Level: 6. Strength: 4 (20-16), Dexterity: 12 (20-8), Intelligence: 55, Constitution: 4 (25-21). Skills: Beast Possession, Madness, Lightning Totem, Apocalypse."

Sixth grade boss!It's still a staff classification that I haven't seen before!Sheld was slightly startled, and then even if it was a pity, the strong cannot avoid aging, and the consequences of aging are already clear through attributes.

But strength and physique may not be so important to the caster?It can be said that this old woman's fighting power is still there, as long as she is given a chance.

Active fighting may not have much advantage, and you will be cut close, but staying in this forest is definitely enough to protect the safety of a group of cubs.

"These are my companions. We are all in an adventure group. This is the leader of our adventure group."

"Shield King."

Sheld held out his hand.

"Katia, you have a divinity that humans rarely have."

Saying that, Katia shook Sheld's hand, and the other's palm was very rough.But what puzzled Sheld was that the other party's eyes were fixed on his back all the time.

"Uh?"

Sheld was a little confused, first glanced at the back, and then glanced at Dart as if asking for help.

Dalt immediately understood and explained: "Grandma Katia used to be the high priest of the clan, and her eyes were burned out during the revelation."

"Shen Qi will damage your eyes?" Sheld was surprised again, and asked Katia: "You can't see now?"

Can't see and jump off the tree?What kind of operation is this Nima, and you are not afraid of falling?And he finally noticed the cloudiness in the other person's eyes, as if starch had been mixed into a bottle of water.

"I can't see it, but it doesn't matter. I can feel your presence, and the wind will also tell me what you look like."

Katya turned around, waved to everyone, and motioned to follow her, Dart hurried over to support Katya, and Sheld also ran to the other side to support her.

Katya continued: "Divine Revelation is a very dangerous skill. It allows you to obtain divine revelation, but you have to bear the corresponding price."

"What do you mean?"

Sheld resisted the urge to take out his notebook to record.

"If you want to see the future, you have to see it with your own eyes, and if you want to hear God's words, you have to listen with your ears."

"What God wants to tell you, the cost is borne by you, not God, or God is also borne, but he doesn't care." Katya said with a sigh: "I used to believe in the Beast God wholeheartedly, But the Beast God seemed to be unable to hear the voices of believers, so I found another god, and she told me the answer."

"What are you asking about?"

"The future of the ethnic group."

Katya murmured: "I've been looking at so many paths and possibilities for so long that I'm completely blind. I want to know a more comprehensive approach, young man."

"Grandma Katia helped us survive. Originally, we would all have died from the last wave of monsters. It came too suddenly."

"But it just kept you alive."

Katia faltered a little: "I don't have many choices, and keeping you alive is the only choice. They all want to live, but I knew it was impossible."

"I lied to them and told them to do what I told them to do—then there would be a way, I told them, and each of them had the confidence to live..."

"Grandma Katia, it's not your fault, didn't you promise me not to mention that!"

"Dahl..."

Dalt is like a coquettish little girl now.

"Indeed, I promised Dahl that I shouldn't have brought this up, but I want you to know one thing, Sheard."

"You say."

"I watched it for a long time, including when Dar went out to make a living, and I stayed in Silverpine Forest to take care of the future of the ethnic group. This was originally planned."

"But now something unexpected happened..."

As she spoke, Katia turned her blind eyes to Sheld. Although her cloudy eyeballs could not see anything, it still gave Sheld a sense of oppression under scrutiny.

"Dahl doesn't have you in her life, and she won't have a partner."

"Did I miss a fork in the road? Or something else? Maybe you can give me the answer."

The second volume is surging: Chapter 127 Chapter 25 The princess and the princess

Gods cannot accurately predict the future. The future they give actually evolves into different branches according to the choices of current people. In that way, if you don’t die this time, you will definitely do it next time.

And now another problem arises.

Shield is not a possibility for any of those routes.

Katya said she might have missed it.

But Shield could probably guess that Katia didn't miss it, he was not from this world, and following this, he came to another conclusion.

That is, it is very likely that a group of gods pushed it several times and found that these people of the existing race could not get through, so they called in an unknown number from the outside.

This is actually a bad choice, a dead horse as a living horse doctor... This is not good news.

However, among the bad choices, it is not without a little effort, such as this strange system that accidentally conforms to the rules of this world, and Almi's possible intentional or unintentional guidance.

"Could it be that I've been blaming Almi all the time, but actually the gods are doing badly, and Alemi is trying to save the field?"

Sheld stopped the pen in his hand and buried this "terrible" thought in his heart.

When a god who can say "hey" becomes the savior among the gods, it's game over!I have no confidence at all!

And Katia didn't seem to really want to know Sheld's answer. After asking, she walked forward on her own.

Not long after, they arrived at the so-called "home" of the civet clan.

Those who know it call this "home", but those who don't know it may think that this is some kind of scavenger camp.

All kinds of useful and useless sundries were collected together, piled on a cart, and then three tents, until Katia blew the whistle, and a bunch of cat heads emerged from the nearby bushes .

Three men and three women, excluding the element of close relatives, it is probably an established official marriage to reproduce in the future.

They wore clothes made of animal skins, the sewing technique was very rough, and a lot of thread ends could be seen. Each of them was only half the height of Sheld, a little bit like Elle in the game "Monster Hunter" played in the previous life.

For Bidart and Katia, there is a big gap between everyone's painting styles.

"It's Sister Dahl and Grandma who are back!"

"Sister Darl!!"

"Did you bring something delicious?!"

A bunch of fluffy cubs flew towards Dalt with short legs, and soon covered Dalt's whole body.

"Okay, okay! Let go first, I brought you a lot of things, food, and golden coins!"

"How many? Ten?"

One of the snow-white civet girls asked with some longing: "Can I buy a big house? Nissa always kicks me in my sleep."

"I do not have!"

"You still like to talk in your sleep!"

Seeing that the two little ones were about to fight, Dalt hurriedly comforted him: "It's more than ten, far more than that."

Having said that, in fact, the money from the last assassination was enough to buy a big house, and the assassination of the heirs of the great nobles cost 200 gold coins per head.

The price is neither high nor low.

In terms of risk, it’s actually not worth it. After all, they are only heirs. Those nobles don’t have many other things, except that they have more sons and daughters, and it’s not uncommon for brothers to buy each other, so this kind of market will not be too expensive. There are also fewer assassins who take orders, and more of them fail.

If it is the assassination of a nobleman himself, the price will be much higher.

But Dalt is a novice who earns money, she doesn't have so many worries, she only wants money.In addition, I am a relatively vigorous novice, so I managed to get things done abruptly, and I got a total of [-] gold coins.

This is not a small amount of wealth. In some adventure groups, it is a huge sum of money. It is definitely enough to buy a house.

But it is not the lack of money that hinders them.

This kind of rare race that takes care of the old and the weak is itself a walking gold coin for those with a heart, and in Katia's foresight, the best place to live is this forest.

When will it be possible to move into the house? It depends on what Katia says.

After giving out the five hundred gold coins distributed to Dalt, Sheld began to pull the table to get food for these kittens.

This allowed him to quickly gain a high status among these children.

"Are you the chef brought back by Sister Dahl?"

"No, I'm not a cook."

I am ashamed to say that Shelder almost does not touch Yangchun water with his fingers. The most skilled cooking is cooking dumplings and noodles, and then instant noodles. In short, it does not require much effort, and the ingredients needed are semi-finished or finished products. .

"Then will you stay here forever?"

"That's not the case, brother has to go out to save the world."

"Uncle, what's the name of this sweet..."
