You call this a shield?

Aside from this little episode, Sheld and Neveu went on the road after simply eating some dry food.

What I have to mention is that the dry food of the elves is much more palatable than that of humans. It may be because of the material. When Sheard ate these things that looked like mung bean cakes, he really felt like a pastry.

The strange thing is that there are almost no monsters encountered along the way.

"Is it too quiet?"

You must know that they are heading deep into the Demon Realm, and the frequency of encountering monsters must be getting higher and higher.

But from yesterday to today, I haven't even seen the shadow of the monster, which is a bit too much.

"Could it be because it has been swept away?"

Neveu squatted on the ground, picked up a little soil and rubbed it on the tips of his fingers: "Maybe it was cleaned up by the Senlu Mercenary Group along the way."

"Now, we're very close to our destination."

"how do you know?"

Sheld was a little curious. He could know it because he had a map panel. Neveu suddenly said this, why?

"If I remember correctly, there used to be a garden here."

"garden……"

Sheld looked around, it didn't look like a garden.Um?Something seems wrong?

"Wait, how old are you?" Sheld's forehead was a little sweaty: "How do you know this was once a garden?"

"60 years old, I have only grown up for about 5 years, and I came here with people from the orphanage about 30 years ago."

"..."

Come, come, the time concept of the longevity race.

"How long can elves live?"

"It's no different from a human, but I'm not an elf, I'm a half-elf."

"Humans and elves?"

"No, it's elves and I don't know what it is."

Neveu shook her head and said, "I don't even know who my parents are. The surname Soder is the surname of the director of the orphanage, and all the children there have this surname."

"The only thing that can be confirmed based on my appearance is that I have the blood of the elves. The other half can't figure it out. There are no black hair and red eyes among elves. The lifespan of half-elves is usually not fixed. I should be considered long-lived."

"Then how do you know you're an adult?"

"Have you forgotten? Only when you become an adult will you dream of becoming a professional, and you will know whether you are a professional or not on the day you reach [-]."

"To be specific, I'm probably 60 years old."

It's a pity that the investigation of this skill has not reached the point where even the ancestor of the other party can be identified. It is temporarily impossible to find out who the other half is who gave Neveu a long life.

Between the words, the two had already reached the gate of the village.

It was different from the dilapidated walls that Sheld had imagined. It wasn't dilapidated, but it was desolate and silent.

"Monster, one."

Shield looked at the big red dot on the map panel, which seemed to be in the middle of the village. In this case, he somewhat guessed who the red dot in the middle of the village was.

According to the usual development routine of the story, Shield gambled a copper coin, and the red dot was the target this time—Meryl.

Sheld glanced at Neveu, and then said bluntly: "Don't move around here, I'll go ahead to check the situation, and I'll be back later."

After all, without waiting for Neveu to react, he relied on his high agility.Like a professional thief, he tiptoed towards the center of the village.

Seeing that the distance between himself and the red light spot was getting closer, Sheld touched into a house, its window was half open, and it was easy to get in.

With the map panel, he doesn't need to guess what enemies will be in it.

But soon he suffered his first loss.

"Fuck..."

As soon as Shield rolled over and landed in the room, he stepped on something and almost fell.

Rolling to the side, he got up and got up. After a closer look, he found that it was a rather fresh corpse. Dead people would not be shown on the map.

"This young man also looks familiar."

After the initial "shock" of almost falling, Sheld remained calm. The calm BUFF given by the goddess suppressed Sheld's emotions all the time, keeping him calm.

I went up to observe carefully for a while, and threw out my investigation skills.

"Mat Needle, the body of an elf male, killed by a gargoyle attack."

Slightly shaking the list he took out from his arms, Sheld confirmed the other party's identity as a member of the Senlu Mercenary Group.

"Gargoyle?"

That's right, I almost forgot that such a thing might also be in the village. So, besides Meryl, the one in the middle of the village might be a gargoyle?

Sheld hurried to the other side and lifted the window slightly.

It's a bit blurry and the field of vision is limited, but it doesn't matter, as long as the target can be determined, the investigation skills will take effect.

Volume 51 A New Beginning: Chapter 50 Chapter [-] Meryl

"Variation monster Gargoyle. Monster rating: Adventure level. Skills: stone statue, tribe of the night. Goddess' evaluation: it's fine to break it when it's stone statue. It's hard to hurt with ordinary swords, and it's stronger, but it's just That's it."

Alright, I'm sure it's a dragon monster.

Shield was inexplicably relieved.

Nothing else, the goddess said that you are "just like that", so there is nothing to say, there is no special mechanism, and the soldier-level fallen demon has "Middle Eastern special skills" at least, which is worthy of the goddess to say a few words.

Break it, that's too simple.

Sheld touched the small stones in his pocket, and picked up quite a few on the way.

So, he rushed out with a very simple stride, and the brilliance of the stone in his hand bloomed.

"I flow the Flying Stone Technique!"

Instant magic, just ask which shield and magician can do it?

Sheld waited happily for the gargoyle to be crushed by the stone giant's skull. Isn't it harder than anyone else when a stone hits a stone?

A mere adventure-level monster, can it compare to the Golem?

"Speaking of... what level is a stone giant?"

Thinking about these meaningless thoughts in his mind, the giant boulder flew to the Gargoyle in the blink of an eye, and Sheld had no time to see what it looked like. He only knew that it had wings, and it looked like a person squatting on the ground, shaking its body, The stone chips fell off his body, and it seemed that he was about to move.

"Crack!"

"Ok?"

Sheld retreated almost subconsciously, and with a skill he didn't realize, he did a backflip and jumped sideways into the previous house, and stared at the map panel for the first time.

"No……"

What is the problem?

Just now, the gargoyle's head was broken.

This is a matter of course.

But—it wasn't the Golem's skull he threw that shattered the gargoyle, but something else.

If it was the stone giant's skull, it would be the entire gargoyle that was broken, not just the headshot, so he immediately retreated to the house. This place is not safe or secure, but at least it is a shelter.

"It's a pity that my dynamic vision is not up to standard, and that thing flew too fast just now..."

Last come first, and, from the outside of the map panel, the distance is far enough.

He raised his eyes and looked out the window, but couldn't see what was left in place, the debris of the gargoyle after being crushed.

"If I had to guess, it should be a long-range shot, and if it was a bit bloodier, it should be Meryl... But, didn't Meryl become a monster?"

Shield held his breath and stared at the map panel, and the surroundings seemed to be completely quiet.

"Whoosh-!"

slight wind noise.

"Clap!"

The skull of the stone giant appeared on Sheld's right hand in an instant, and only a muffled "bang" was heard, and Sheld was pushed back a few steps by the huge thrust.

"The one close to the fallen demon exploded, this power."

Sheld rubbed his tingling shoulders.

But in the final analysis, the main reason is that his dual attributes of strength and physique are a bit too weak, and the shield is hard enough, but it must be able to hold it up. If the shock wave and the like are the kind that can shake the weight of the stone giant's skull, Shield cannot rely on his own strength. If the strength resists it, it will only be overturned or fly with it.

Either increase the strength, or increase the weight of the shield.

Maybe the latter seems to be simpler?

Shield held the shield and moved towards the other side in the direction of the impact source. After moving to the other side, Shield could clearly see the penetrated wall from the corner of the side.

And the red dot finally appeared on the edge of the map again.

Meanwhile, there's the green dot.

"Fuck! Why did Neveu come here!"

Who cares about the green dot?There are only a few people in this place.

Sheld kicked the door straight out and ran wildly with his skull on his shoulders. He heard "bang bang" along the way. The powerful impact made him stagger, roll and crawl, quite embarrassed.

Thanks to the stone giant brother for sending the skull!Very hard!

Shield clasped his hands together in his mind.

Taking advantage of the pause in the middle, Sheld quickly replaced it with a new skull. After all, no matter how hard this thing is, it will be finished in three minutes.

"Don't move, Neveu! Don't come here!"

Sheld yelled.

"Just stand there! Yes!"

Sheld saw Neveu who looked dumbfounded not far away, and she was really a little stunned when she watched Sheld rush towards her with a huge rock on his back like a tortoise shell.

"Captain, are you a barbarian?"

"I said I am a giant dragon, do you believe it?"

"I believe."

"I do not believe!"

Sheld looked at Neveu angrily, gasping for breath, running a few hundred meters would make him breathless.

But what made him a little puzzled was that the opponent's attack was so accurate, as early as when Neveu came out, shouldn't he directly attack Neveu?

Moreover, the attack has stopped directly now?Is it out of range?

Sheld looked at the approaching red dot on the map panel and overruled the distance factor. Just kidding, people can shoot themselves through the house outside the map, but now that they are closer, they will not be able to shoot?

"what's the situation?"

"I still want to ask you, why did you come here?"

"I heard a lot of movement here..."

Well, when we were playing with the gargoyle just now, the stone giant's skull hit the ground directly, and the movement was quite loud.

"The current situation is that we have probably met Meryl who has turned into a monster."

Sheld turned his back and raised the skull in his hands again.

To be honest, he is a bit afraid to withdraw his shield and take a look now, his speed should not be as fast as that arrow.

When the agility is used, it is not enough. Nearly a month ago, Sheld still felt that such a high agility was not very useful. Now, it is useful, but it is not enough.

"You take this."

Sheld used the skill of "Intelligence Potion", rubbed a bottle with one hand and handed it to Neveu behind him.
