You call this a shield?

"Speaking of which, Sidi, it seems that this is the first time you've seen this thing?"

"It's not the first time, I've seen this thing hanging around your waist several times." Sidike shook her head: "But I never thought that this thing would be a holy flame."

"So you really are a big shot in which country?"

"No, just happened to get it."

"Then you just happen to help me get one, this thing is worth tens of thousands of gold."

Si Tike had an expression of "who are you fooling?", and then waved her hand: "Forget it, no matter what your identity is, it has nothing to do with me."

"It's you, Neveu."

"Ah I?"

Neveu was a little confused, why did she suddenly get involved.

"I don't care about identity..."

"No, I mean, maybe you can try, maybe you can become the queen of a certain country."

There was a bit of ridicule in Stike's tone.

"Didn't it become a harem?"

"Ok?"

As soon as this remark came out, Sheld and Sidike were shocked at the same time.

"you……"

"Wait! Wait! When did I mention the harem?"

"You were talking in your sleep when you were sleeping with me!" Neveu shook her hand lightly, imitating Sheld's tone: "You will all be my wings from now on."

"I remember you saying that in your dream."

Sheld's face turned livid.

"Next time, sleep in separate rooms! Whatever you say, sleep in separate rooms, even if it costs more!"

"Wait...have you guys slept already?"

Si Di only felt that the amount of information was a bit large.

"You have to sleep with us from now on."

Neveu spoke amazingly.

……

"Boom!"

A loud bang resounded in the outskirts of Muzhong Town. This is the wilderness area in the northwest of the empire's territory, close to Mount Hygara, and affected by the Ampken Desert on the other side. The products are not rich and belong to a relatively barren area. area.

Although it is within the territory of the empire, it does not mean that no other races exist at all.The barbarians, these races who originally lived in Mount Hygara had to march towards the territory of the human empire because of the erosion of wind and sand.

Limited resources, competition from outsiders, these factors have led to a lot of small-scale frictions in this area.

Some people will say that barbarians are not human beings?It's nothing more than a little bigger body!

But really not, the barbarians in this world may be more inclined to "beastmen". They have thick hair and fangs that do not belong to humans. is human.

Muzhong Town is one of the human towns that are often invaded, so everyone has enough vigilance.

When the abnormal noise suddenly broke out, the alarm bell rang instantly.

The soldiers and militiamen in the town took up their knives, guns and sticks, and rushed up the not-so-high city wall.

"What it is?"

The gray-black smoke and flying dust blocked the line of sight, making it impossible to see clearly on the city wall.

But they didn't leave the city in a hurry, but maintained a steady posture like old dogs, squatting quietly behind the city wall until the smoke and dust dissipated.

It looks like a huge ball, with a smooth surface, and it is still blowing out slightly.With a "click", the gas spurted out in a larger amount, and a green-skinned dwarf struggled to get out of a hole opened in the sphere.

"Damn it, did someone open the box in advance?"

The box was not destroyed, and of course, neither was the content inside. The holy flame did not respond to it, but it could not be ruled out that it was because the box was not opened.

To be on the safe side, Sheld still carried it with him, and waited until he met someone who knew how to do it, before finding another way.

After consuming another table, the time has come to the third day.

They finally started climbing the mountain.

The first half of the mountaineering trip was not difficult, and almost killed Sheld, but in the end, it was still relying on Stike to carry him up.I have to say that this tall man with a physique of 40 points is tough.

Climbing a mountain is like playing, her face is not flushed, her heart is not beating, she is not out of breath. Sometimes, even Neveu is tired, but Stike is still calm behind Sheld's back.

"From now on, you will be our Drifting Monk!"

"what?"

Sheld felt very impressive, with such a high physique, isn't he destined to be the most hardworking in the team?As for himself, he can only be a Tang Seng Ming, with a physical strength of less than 10 points, and the rhythm of breaking at the touch of a touch.

"Instead of talking nonsense, why don't you think about giving me two more gold coins."

"I've already given you two gold coins, but I just asked you to carry one more thing weighing more than 100 catties!"

Sheld showed an ugly face.

"Aren't you ashamed to let a woman carry it?"

"do not think so."

Sheld said leisurely: "Your consciousness is wrong. A man can carry a woman, and of course a woman can carry a man. Why should a man be ashamed when a woman carries a man?"

"Aside from these, what we are looking for is a reasonable one. You are stronger than me and physically better than me. Hey! I'll buy your advantage with gold coins. Is there anything shameful about that?"

As he said that, Sheld patted Stike's back: "Look, how safe is this strong and broad back! This is a body that can forcibly resist a hammer beyond level 5!"

"Business, isn't it about what you want and what I want? How good we are, you sold this body for two gold coins, you should be proud, and I spent two gold coins to save me from suffering, I should Fortunately."

"Only, there should be no 'shame'."

It makes sense...

Si Di was a little confused, could it be that she was out of shape?

Of course, these things only happened in the first half of Mount Higala. In the second half, the style of painting has changed a bit—it refers to Mount Higala, not the interaction between the two.

Sheld never expected that there would be a smooth road in the second half of Mount Hygara.

Even though it was rough, he undoubtedly wasn't that steep and dangerous peak anymore.

"It's strange, there are people who build roads in Hijala Mountain?"

Sheld finally started to walk on his own, but it was only for a while. Although the road was smooth, it didn't mean that he didn't need to climb high. It still required physical strength. Let him walk and rest like this. I'm afraid he would have to spend several days here up the hill.

"If this was once the territory of the empire, then it's not surprising that there are roads here, right?"

Stike leaned on her staff and tapped the end of the staff on the road surface. Basically, the outer platform was formed by smashing stones into the mountain. Just thinking about it, you can see how much manpower it will cost.

"But why is it only half done?"

Whether it's going up the mountain or going down the mountain, what does half mean?

The remaining half fly up or jump down?

"Maybe there used to be a lift here, maybe."

Si Ti Ke walked forward while guessing. Their current position is probably that she is in the lead, Sheld is in the middle, and Neveu is behind.And her eyes were quickly attracted by a mural next to the mountain.

"This is……?"

Naturally, Shield also saw this mural, and he followed, and with the help of Stike and Neveu, he stood on the top of a platform.

There is a short distance between the mural and the stone-paved road in the middle, which is equivalent to a hollow in the middle, and I don't know how to get it.

"It's been a few years, and it's almost impossible to see clearly."

Sheld wanted to tell the difference, but he really couldn't tell it apart. First, the style of the painting is strange, and second, probably because it has been too long, many places have been eroded and blurred.

"What did it say?"

Neveu asked curiously.

"I do not know either……"

Shield deliberately gave an investigation, but the result of the appraisal was "stone".

It can only be said that this skill is not too smart.

"The painting on this should be a certain legend."

"Eh?"

Sheld and Neveu looked at Stike in a daze.

"What's your expression? Is this mural difficult to understand?"

"Isn't it difficult?!"

"It's not difficult, just read a little and you'll know." Sidi said indifferently: "The books in Neuilani's library are relatively old, and there are no new tricks, but the collection of things related to ancient things There are quite a lot, including some slate paintings, I should show you."

I'm afraid you haven't read a little book.

Sheld twitched the corner of his mouth: "So what was painted on it?"

"Worship of gods by a certain race, you see here represents the gods, which represent the high priest, um...may also be the angels, usually under this kind of murals, human beings will not use this symbol as a symbol of themselves The sign, that is to say, this thing should have existed before the empire took over here..."

Sidi can point to the murals with her staff, just like a teacher pointing to the blackboard with a pointer, talking endlessly.

"This thing belongs to false gods. Do you know the meaning of 'false gods'? This is the first concept proposed by human beings. It was originally applied to gods other than caring for human beings. They are all false gods."

"But later, the concept changed, and it became the unofficially included gods other than the righteous gods, called false gods."

"The righteous gods refer to the single gods or multiple gods believed by big clans such as 'Elves', 'Humans', and 'Dwarves'. The gods believed by our minority tribes are also in the category of 'false gods' , but 200 years ago, it underwent another revolution.”

"The church has proposed that God may just be a more powerful existence. Regardless of whether it is true or not, what human beings should do is not to pray for the blessing of the gods, but to rely on themselves."

This should belong to the core idea of ​​the church. Sheld roughly guessed that the original intention of the church should be to rekindle the fighting spirit of these guys who gave up their resistance to the Demon Realm. Instead of wasting time worshiping the gods, it is better to raise their weapons to fight.

When you think about it this way, the church doesn’t really look like a “church” anymore.

"So, the concept above is...?"

"This one belongs to 'Gods other than the righteous gods unofficially included', and this symbolic element represents Zansora, the god of the earth." Sidi Ke paused: "Let me think about it, the race that worships Zansora There are many, including the previous goblin, who also worship Xansora."

"Well, this...Look at this, this should be a clan symbol."

Sidi Ke's eyes lighted up slightly: "Usually only some large groups can use it, such as elves and dwarves, they all evolved from clans, and judging from these, there are very few who meet the conditions."

"The horn, the battle-axe, and these totems that worship power, wrestling with beasts..."

"Basically, we can lock in a general category, which should be barbarians."

"That means we may encounter barbarians later, so we need to be vigilant?"

"No, not necessarily."

Si Tike pointed to the mural: "Although this thing is very old, if there are barbarians here, it will not be covered with a thick layer of dust."

All I can say is, yes.

Sheld looked at the place where the tip of the wand was slightly touched twice, and Sheld swore that it was really just a touch, and the touched place would peel off the paint like the walls of a home in a previous life.

Pieces fall into pieces.

Knock down all these things of different thicknesses, and the whole mural is much clearer, and Shield can understand some places that he didn't understand.

"It turns out that I couldn't understand it just now because it was really not clear enough."

"No, the reason why you feel clear and understandable now is because I told you just now, when I had a preconceived impression, it suddenly became clearer and gave you an illusion."
