You call this a shield?

"Since that's the case, why don't they just keep it secret like this and start wreaking havoc? They can completely rely on sucking the blood of the elves to kill other races and countries that stick to the corners of the continent, and then detonate the elves in one fell swoop?"

"We can only speculate."

Minahino stretched out his fist and popped a finger: "First of all, let's assume that they originally planned as you said, but something forced them to interrupt this plan."

"They had an urgent order to expedite something and had to destroy the current operation."

"And there is obviously no issue of disclosure in the implementation of this process. They have made plans to slip away after completing something in one fell swoop in this incident."

Then, Minashino popped out a second finger: "If you were an enemy and occupied one of my villages, what would you do when you had to retreat when time was running out?"

"Try to say the worst."

Sheld substituted it for a while, hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "There are two possibilities. If you leave, I have to make you feel uncomfortable. I can't take advantage of you. It is not impossible to burn the village and take the opportunity to kill a few more civilians to vent your anger. After all, my painstaking efforts were ruined."

"What about the other?"

"The other way, you can go, but I won't leave anything for you, food and belongings will be taken away..."

Shield raised his head: "Either it is a retaliatory action, or they are plotting some treasure?"

If you can't get it, destroy it. If you don't have time to completely destroy it, you have to grab it before you go. You can't get it for nothing. This is the ugly side of human nature, and it is the easiest emotion to be born in a hostile state.

Minahino smiled slightly, "It's both. What if this treasure requires chaos in the whole city to get it? If I'm the enemy, I'll choose to kill two birds with one stone."

"What treasure? Do you have a clue?"

"Speaking of this, I'm afraid there is only the staff of the forest goddess in the secret storehouse at the top of the temple?"

Minahino didn't notice Sheld's increasingly weird face at all, and continued: "Once the city becomes chaotic, my people will have to disperse everywhere to maintain order, and the guards of the temple will also be disturbed by the disturbance. Chance to move the artifact from the vault."

"Although the key is in the hands of the high priest, I think that old guy should have been under the control of those people long ago."

The staff of the forest goddess?

Sheld couldn't help but think of the gun in Sticker's hand. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Alami to draw a fake product for him, and it does have a toughness that ordinary weapons can't match...

Is the one in the temple fake?Or is it that Almi directly "shifted the universe" and took out the stuff given to the secret library and threw it to him?

This thought suddenly made Sheld's heart pound.

But then he noticed something else.

Sheld raised his hand and asked, "Well, Granny Minashino..."

"Call mom."

"..."

"Just kidding, call me teacher, what's the name of mother-in-law, you call me so old." Minahino raised her silver high ponytail, and looked at Sheld with a bit of joking: "What's the matter?"

"Since Mr. Minashino has already guessed and found out so much, why don't you just enter the temple and kill all those people..."

Sheld made a "click" gesture.

"Because, I have no title, and besides, I have no right to dispose of it."

"What do you mean?"

Sheld scratched his head in doubt: "As a hero of the elves, as long as you say..."

Minahino laughed suddenly, causing Sheld to stop talking.

"Boy, you're so naive."

"???"

"How is Neveu treated in the elves?"

The treatment of the elves?Sheld thought about it carefully, a sword master who is close to waste, or a half-elf recognized by the elves...

and many more? !

Shield looked at Minashino.

Seeing Sheld's shocked eyes, Minashino turned his head towards the window, put his arm on the armrest of the chair, and supported his chin like a lotus petal. The clear mandible line and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth looked very different under the moonlight. Charming outside, but the single left eye facing the moonlight reveals a bit of helplessness.

"I just want to make orphans live better and make orphans less. I have never been an elf hero."

"Minashino Sood will only be used as a means for the people in the temple to intimidate other countries during the war. Minahino Sood cannot appear in the eyes of everyone as a half-elf."

"After all, how many people among the elves know the face of Minahino Thord?"

"The elves believe that mixed blood is a blasphemy against the forest and nature. This concept is deeply rooted, so I am an executioner, not a hero. I can't catch a person in the temple and chop it off, that will only be caught Use the handle to create turmoil."

"Then why do you still let the Sauder Welfare Institute become a training institution...?" Sheld whispered: "It's not fair, isn't it?"

Sheld just felt a little blocked.After giving so much for the Great Forest with all her heart, what did the ruler of the Great Forest give her?

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

Minahino smiled and said: "I have said it a long time ago. The Soder Welfare Institute is a more comprehensive institution. Those little guys have things they want to do, so I will cultivate their abilities and let them do it. After all, they There will always be a skill and a craft you need to earn a living when you grow up."

"I never limit them, whether it is my personal opinion or dissatisfaction with whom, it is of no benefit to them in their own lives in the future."

"They need to be accepted, and I don't."

"The repayment for my kindness of upbringing is probably to share everything with me, right?"

Is this the true face of the elven espionage and assassination organization, and why Minashino kept changing the name of the head...

"Then what did you get from the temple and the elves?"

"The development of Suod Orphanage for so many years, the guarantee of supplies, all aspects cannot be done by me alone." Minahino waved his hand: "It is the so-called exchange of benefits."

Sheld was a little dazed, but thinking back on that night, Minahino burst out laughing when he heard him being called a "hero". There was too much in that laugh. For the "real Minashino", " The honor of "hero" was actually given to her by a person who has nothing to do with foreign races.

Minahino stood up, walked up to Sheld, and rubbed her hands on Sheld's hair: "Boy, I can only act in the dark and become that shadow, so, as adventurers, you will justifiably become that shadow." Daoguang."

"But it's not fair to you!"

Shield raised his head and stared at Minashino, and Minashino looked back at Shield in the same way.

"Boy."

The original rubbing turned into a slap on the back of Sheld's head.

"There are always people who need to deal with things that can only be dealt with by the shadow side. You kid will just follow up honestly. You have the qualifications, don't you?"

"Tomorrow, I will tell you what to do next, just wait patiently."

After saying that, Minashino disappeared from the room, leaving only a somewhat dazed Sheld, looking at the empty window in silence.

"It was fine when I came in, why did I break the window when I left..."

There are not many things to do on the second day. Compensate for a window, and then watch the carpenters and workers fix the window again, and explain why the window is damaged, and why Dart returned to bed without anyone noticing. , and covered with a small quilt.

"Because Hevena Sauder, the director of the Sauder Orphanage, came here."

Fortunately, Shield still remembered the last alias of Minahino that Neveu reported.Although Neveu always thought that the dean was changing, in fact the dean was just retiring and returning to work.

"It's time to retire..."

Although Minashino looked very young, Shield judged whether Minashino was old, not by appearance, but by attributes.

Minahino's stats still seem to be very high now. If he is a bucket character, there is no problem with the big daddy. Perhaps only when Dalt reaches level 6 can he have this level of stats.

But what you need to know is that these attributes have dropped a lot from the original attributes.

This shows that Minahino's body functions have aged, and it is truly "not the same".

This is a time of internal and external troubles for the elves.If there is another problem with the Tree of Hera, the elves may gradually degenerate into an alliance country like the United Kingdom of Rovana after a period of time.

No, it might be worse. Under the current situation in Demon Realm, civil strife, power struggle, and what will eventually lead to it. The United Kingdom of Rovana has given a good example.

According to the piece of paper Atina gave him at the Adventurer's Guild before, the United Kingdom of Rovana may not be able to withstand the next wave of monsters brought by the Abyss.

As one of the grain-producing areas, the Shuifeng Plain now has almost no farmers. Everyone is frantically fleeing, and the fields are barren, not to mention being trampled by a large number of cavalry.

In some places, the food reserves were squandered by those low-level officers and soldiers.

They don't care about the general strategy, they only know that if they win a battle, the spoils of war will be reported, and the rest must be enjoyed in time, otherwise, if they lose their heads and haven't enjoyed it one day, it will be called a loss.

Sheld thought about it, and his thoughts drifted to the border of the United Kingdom of Rovana, Eaglefall Fortress, where the last known trip of the brothers and sisters of the Haisong family was, and he didn't know what happened now.

I just hope it doesn't turn into a corpse.

Shield doesn't have many friends, and usually what he sees is what he gets.In addition to Naga's Juggernaut, Treasure Hunter, and the barbarian Lausanne, the ones who are still far away are the Haige brothers and sisters.

Oh, maybe there is a Gnome dwarf, but that guy is not counted as a friend. Although his punctuation is green, he does consider himself a friend.

"Headmaster Hevena is here?"

Neveu slapped the table and pulled Sheld's thoughts back instantly: "Why didn't she come to see me and went to the head?"

"Because you are all asleep, she can only ask me to ask some things."

Sheld lied casually, her eyes dodging the sight of the tablemate at the same table from Sticker—no way, Sticker's joking expression had already shown that she had already seen that Sheld was lying.

Fortunately, Sti is not the kind of person who doesn't give face at all.

On the other side, Dalt was still holding his head in confusion: "Tell me, why did I suddenly fall asleep last night?"

"Maybe it's because you're usually too tired. Isn't this what happens often? After staying up late for a long time, suddenly people fall asleep, right?"

Sheld didn't wait for other people to express their opinions, so he quickly answered.

"It seems to be the case?"

Ix quickly echoed that the reason for her cooperation was because she was sitting opposite Sheld, who was kicking her.

"Is that so?"

Dalt nodded ignorantly, and then said seriously: "It seems that I have to pay attention to rest in the future, otherwise it will be bad if I encounter danger!"

Shield: "..."

In theory, as long as you don't meet Minahino, it shouldn't be a big problem...

"So, leader, why did you call us to sit together?"

Neveu asked curiously, "Are you going to have a dinner together?"

"Didn't we just eat..."

Shield covered his forehead and said helplessly, "I'm waiting for your dean. She has something to tell us today."

"About what?"

asked Stike.

"About our next response to Enomas and... um... some things about the capital, related to the glutton, and what Atina brought back yesterday."

Shield picked up Minashino's analysis last night and gave a general overview.

After everyone listened, there was a silence.

"This is the royal capital..."

Neveu whispered.

These words made the atmosphere a bit dull again. This kind of feeling as if the home has been stolen, or the kind of "home" armed to the teeth, always makes people feel a sense of frustration.

At this moment, Atina, who had been drinking tea slowly by the side, suddenly said: "What's wrong with the capital, the capital is just a bigger city for the current elves."

Everyone looked up at Atina.

Stared at by several people, Atina put down her glass and said loudly: "Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"There is no elf king in the current elves. The elf king is a thing of the past. The capital is just a larger gathering place with a name on it."

"Throwing away the existence of the tree of Hera and the temple, the elves can call it the king's capital wherever they want, right?"

"But the important thing is the tree of Hera and the temple... No, the temple is not important either, what is important is the tree of Hera."

Stike retorted first, then snorted softly, and said, "However, what you said is correct, it's just the capital of the kingdom."

"There's no need to worry so much. This is also an opportunity. If the elves can't keep this place, why not let our psychics accept it."

Did Steve say something troublesome just now?

Shield listened to it and broke into a sweat.
