Zongman: A Story That Begins From The Wrong Place

Chapter 159 Shadow

Meromag Kingdom, Sanyong Church.

Above the huge hourglass engraved with dragons placed in the center of the sanctuary, on the black translucent screen the size of a blackboard, the countdown to "Tide" is impressively displayed.

13:27:36,

"Your Majesty the Pope, we found traces of the Shield Demon in the western suburbs!"

Staring at the top of the dragon-carved hourglass, only the last bit of dragon-carved sand remained, the pope, wearing cassock and bishop's crown, was clasping his hands in silence.

The bishop behind him, however, allowed himself to maintain a slightly bowed posture, as if he would not be able to bow if the Pope in front did not speak.

After a long time.

Under the pure and transparent lens, the pope's eyes narrowed slightly widened slightly, and his deep voice came out slowly.

"Your majesty the king wants to punish the shield demon, but also doesn't want to get his hands dirty. In the world ruled by the gods, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing."

Hearing this, the bishop behind him understood.

"Then, my lord."

"How should we respond to the royal family as we wait for the Sanyong Shengjiao?"

Turning around slowly, the pope looked at the bishop benevolently, and taught earnestly: "The tiger's fur must be stroked along, so that he will not bite."

Hearing these words, the bishop behind him bowed a little lower, with a humble attitude, and sincerely asked for advice: "Please also teach me, His Majesty the Pope."

For his attitude, the pope was obviously very satisfied, and the smile on his face became more and more kind.

"People can be created by us, but we should dedicate the great cause of punishing demons to our great king.

"Thank you! Your Majesty, give me your advice!"

western suburbs.

After being "savages" for more than 20 days, Qi Shaoyun and his party finally saw the capital of the Meromag Kingdom again; compared to when they came, the strength of the three of them can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Iwatani Naofumi: Lv.40"

"Raphtalia: Lv.40"

"Red Eye: Lv.40"

Among them, Raphtalia is the one who has changed the most in terms of level and appearance.

The level has soared directly from Lv.1 to Lv.40, and the foreign trade has changed from a seven or eight-year-old girl to a young girl in her twenties.

Fortunately, Qi Shaoyun had the foresight to prepare three sets of clothing for different age groups for Raphtalia in advance, but the original equipment could no longer be used.

In just 20 days, Qi Shaoyun had the illusion of being in another world.

And the one with the least change is naturally the highest level red eye.

I don't know if it's because he's an adult, or because of the Constitution's special reasons, but the red eye's body shape hasn't changed in any way because of the increase in level.

After getting out of the bushes, Qi Shaoyun couldn't help but exclaimed: "Huh~ I'm back at last!"

The duration of this long journey has even exceeded the second expedition with the Luji Familiars.

"Master Shaoyun! Please wait a moment."

Raphtalia, who had already grown into a big girl, came out right after her, and trotted to Qi Shaoyun's side, stretching out her delicate hand to shake off the dead leaves that fell on his head.

Smiling back, Qi Shaoyun rubbed her head.

Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, the red eye on the other side saw it and quickly rubbed its head against Qi Shaoyun's thigh.

In the end, the poor red eye was kicked to the side.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The anxious rabbit directly used its head to shove Raphtalia, intending to shove her away and take her place.

It's a pity.

Now Raphtalia is also Lv. 40, even stronger than Red Eye in terms of strength.

But when it comes to fighting for favor, Raphtalia is also not to be outdone, using her long legs to push her away time and time again.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Qi Shaoyun felt relieved.

"Okay, stop messing around."

"Why don't we hurry up and go back to the city to rest for a while, tomorrow we are going to fight against the 'wave'."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Shaoyun suddenly frowned slightly.

At the moment, Raphtalia and Red Eye, who were sharing their perception with him, also stopped playing at the same time, and stared at a tree not far away with serious expressions.

"Friend, come out and meet me now that you're here."

Yes, that's right.

In Qi Shaoyun's shield of perception, a figure had quietly appeared just now, less than 30 meters away from the three of them.

Name: Shield of Perception

Passive skill: Investigate within a range of 100 meters around, increase magic power (micro).

Shield of Perception.

After Qi Shaoyun hunted the iron rhinoceros and strengthened the worm, it is one of the supplementary abilities according to the ability matching list.

As an Excellent support, detection and detection are one of the indispensable abilities, so Qi Shaoyun is the first to be ranked at the front of the list.

"hehe.....…"

Seeing that the man was still hiding in the tree and not moving at all, Qi Shaoyun couldn't help laughing and said: "My friend, you don't think I'm cheating you, do you?"

"Let me guess..."

"Your identity should be the 'Shadow' that directly belongs to Mirelia Q. Melomag, or the 'Shadow' that belongs to the Sanyong Cult."

"The king colluded with the Sanyong sect, and the king should have wished to swallow me alive immediately, but you didn't report to Yuan immediately after you found me.

"FFLX..."

Just as Qi Shaoyun drew a long tail, the red eyes next to him let out a "chirp" and turned into a black shadow, rushing straight to the place where "Shadow" hid his figure.

There was only half of the ax blade left in Hongyan's hand, and it slammed on the trunk of the giant tree hugged by one person.

The strength of Lv.40 in this world is only equivalent to the strength of Lv.2-Lv.3 of "Earth Wrong"; so the red-eyed ax looks fierce, but in fact it just cuts a gap the size of a washbasin.

After being attacked, the hidden "Shadow" was convinced that he was indeed exposed, and then decisively jumped towards another treetop.

His eyes fell on the woman with strange clothes and invisible appearance, Qi Shaoyun laughed and said, "My friend, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Although he couldn't see the other person's eyes, Qi Shaoyun could feel that the other person was looking at him with scrutiny.

Anyway, there would be no loss of meat, so he just let the other party look at it.

After half an hour.

The unknown "Shadow" finally asked uncertainly: "Excuse me, is this the shield hero?"

Just like the previous outfit, the Legendary shield was hidden behind Qi Shaoyun, and "Shadow" naturally had no way of determining his identity.

See here.

The Legendary shield, symbolizing the shield brave, appeared behind Qi Shaoyun out of nowhere, and it was not the most original "(Lea Zhao's) aluminum alloy shield".

It is a round, silver-gray metal shield that looks exactly like "Captain America".

When the steel shield returned to the most primitive shield, the "shadow" on the tree leaped forward, made an elegant rotation in the air, and finally landed precisely and flawlessly at the position behind Qi Shao.

At the moment of landing, the center of gravity sank.

Kneeling on one knee in front of Qi Shaoyun with his left knee touching the ground, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The shadow guards of the palace refer to Lord Brave of the Shield!"

"I am here under the order of the queen to protect your safety!"

"Protect my safety?"

Qi Shaoyun groped his chin and asked: "The Sanyong Cult has already started to act secretly?"

"Yes!"

"There are already three hundred soldiers of the Kingdom Knights who believe in the Three Heroes, and they are secretly rushing here; so please, Lord Shield Hero, follow me to a safe place now.

"Shadow" said respectfully, without raising his head from the beginning to the end.
