-Camp Afaria-

Because of the death of her master, Shadow is left alone, and at first she plans to investigate any information about the plague. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut there is no effective progress in the investigation in the dark city, because the elders unanimously believe that the people who plan the outbreak of the plague are humans, so the dark elf residents all point the finger at humans, and the soothsayer Alice also divined that the plague is related to humans, which makes the suspicion of humans even greater, and the dark elf residents are focused on whether they will start a war against humans.

The Queen's faction, which advocates investigating the plague and finding a way to cure the Dark Elves, has been slow to progress due to the obstruction of the Senate, and at that rate of investigation, it will not find a cure for the plague even when war breaks out.

However, because of the efforts of humans, the dark elves reluctantly agreed to let them come to the dark elf kingdom to investigate the truth of the plague.

Investigating the plague is a very dangerous thing, and almost without exception, they will be infected with the plague and lose their lives. Since the humans are willing to do this, the people of the Senate have no objection, as long as they can investigate the plague and clear their suspicions, the dark elves will consider not starting a war, and if the humans cannot find clues about the plague within the specified time, the dark elves will have more reason to start a war. Not only that, but if humanity investigates the plague so that the plague-infected Dark Elves can be treated, the Dark Elves can still choose to start a war.

Such an opportunity to make full use of humans to serve themselves, of course, the dark elves will not refuse.

Deeply feeling the darkness of the Senate and the powerlessness of the Queen's faction, she secretly congratulated herself in her heart that she did not choose to join the Queen's faction and the Senate, she knew that it was impossible to have a future in a short period of time with the current appearance of the dark elves, and it was difficult for a country without unanimity to develop. And now the first task is to investigate the plague so that the dark elf compatriots can avoid the plague, and joining the party will only make you a puppet of the rulers.

Knowing that staying in the Dark City will not make any progress, Shadow chooses to go to the human to observe the situation, she is also interested in knowing whether the plague is caused by humans, and in order to clear her suspicions, the human beings will also be more attentive to the plague investigation, so the progress should be much faster than that of the dark elves.

Shadow who came to Camp Afaria couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw the adventurers, these humans had only appeared here to explore the secret realm inside the dark elves, and investigating the plague was only their secondary mission.

Despite this, there were a small number of people in the Afaria camp who were enthusiastic about investigating the plague, such as Boken. Shadow is also quite impressed by the strength of that Boken, Shadow's camouflage skills are very powerful in the dark elves, even her master praised her before his death, but that Boken has felt the presence of Shadow many times, which makes Shadow have to be cautious when approaching him.

However, the strength of the adventurers who belong to Boken is not very strong, and when they go out to investigate, they often can't get away with monsters, let alone investigate the clues of the plague. Boken had to spare no effort to help those adventurers, provide them with some supplies that would help them with adventures, and teach them a lot of knowledge about adventures, and the enthusiastic Boken gradually became a celebrity in the Afarian camp, but there was still no big progress, and the adventurers were not even qualified to enter the Dark City.

This continued until the arrival of a new group of adventurers, who were surprised to see that they had come to carry out the orders of the queen of the Duchy of Belmar, and Boken had great hopes for them, all of which Shadow had heard from Boken and the adventurers.

Shadow couldn't help but pay a little attention to these people, but they still encountered a lot of obstacles, and Shadow knew that for some reason they had to hide their true identities and pretend to be novice adventurers. And the leaders in the Afalia camp have always been strict with adventurers who have no strength, rather than letting them die here in vain, it is better to let them retreat, this attitude is a bit similar to that of Shadow's master.

In order to prove their strength, these adventurers took on Gary's demanding tasks again and again, and to Ei's great surprise, they actually completed all those tasks perfectly. And to Ei's surprise, they actually found a clue about the plague.

The court alchemist Morgan in the dark elves went to Neupera alone to investigate the clues of the plague, and the clues in it were carefully recorded in the log, these adventurers unexpectedly found the log back, which is a very big progress in the investigation of the plague, the alchemist Morgan is very famous in the dark elves, and there must be many useful clues in his investigation log, although this log can only be interpreted by Morgan's friend Krent, But this did not in any way diminish the credit of those adventurers.

After proving their strength, those adventurers were also qualified to join the exploration of the path to the Dark City, and Shadow had been careful about this plan for a long time, and she had heard some rumors about the Kayak volcano, which was once inhabited by the Titan race of ancient times. Moreover, Zeng Ying also cultivated there, and she had a deep understanding of the harsh environment there.

Will the adventurer be able to find the way to the Dark City this time? Shadow was really interested, and this time Shadow chose to follow the adventurers who had found Morgan's journal, because she could vaguely feel that these guys would break through again.

However, before Ei's expectations were realized, these adventurers who were divided into two ways encountered a difficult enemy, and when they saw the true face of that enemy, Shadow was also very surprised, and did not expect those things to really exist.

Attacked by an unknown enemy, these adventurers are in a difficult situation, and if they continue to be wiped out in the long run, Shadow has to reveal his whereabouts in front of them.

-Lava Cave-

"Who the hell are you?" Ling Feng pointed his pistol at the shadow hanging upside down on the ceiling and asked, Long Ming was blocking the attack of those fire elves for him while he was there.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards you!" Ying said calmly.

"So what is the purpose of your presence here? We're so busy right now, we don't have time to talk to you! Ling Feng stretched the left wheel behind his head, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, killing a fire spirit who wanted to sneak up on Long Ming.

"The current situation is not in your favor, so let's retreat first!" Shadow suggested.

"How do you know that things are not in our favor right now? You wouldn't be an undercover agent sent by the enemy, would you? ”

"Are you sure you have what it takes to deal with that guy?" Shadow pointed to the darkness inside the cave and said, "Fire Elves kept coming out of that direction."

“……”

Long Ming and they were silent, although they don't know if they have the strength to deal with that guy now, but the shock of that guy is too great, if they insist on fighting a battle that they are not sure of, it will also be a huge burden for Long Ming and them, so it is not cost-effective.

"So come with me! We can contact the adventurer army before proceeding to the next step, remembering that our purpose is not to come here desperately, but to find the way to the Dark City, there is no need to make sacrifices here! Shadow continued to say calmly.

The current situation is indeed the same as what Ying said, Long Ming and they don't need to waste their physical strength and time here at all, as long as they inform the rest of the adventurers, with Paris's strength, they should be able to take down that guy, which is undoubtedly the best way.

"Can we trust you?" Long Ming turned around and looked up and asked.

"I don't think you have a choice, so you might as well trust me for the time being!" After Ying finished speaking, she let go of the arm holding the ceiling, she quickly cut into the formation of the fire elves, and the silver light short blade in her hand quickly swung and cut the fire elves in half, so fast that Long Ming and the others did not see the movements of the shadow clearly.

In just an instant, Shadow created a space for Long Ming and them to retreat, and Long Ming and they also understood that if Shadow was going to be unfavorable to them, if Shadow launched an attack at such a speed during the time lurking under their feet, Long Ming and they would not have time to react at all. Since this was the case, Long Ming and the others had to believe that this elf woman was indeed not hostile to them.

"Let's go!" Shadow turned her head and said, aiming to achieve the determined retreat route and walked up, killing all the enemies who stood in her way.

"Keep up!" Long Ming said to his partner behind him.

Although it was very difficult to fight, Long Ming and the others still had the strength to retreat, and the fire elves and spirit eaters simply could not leave them behind who were bent on retreating.

"Whew! It's finally safe! Ling Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Alright, you can tell us who you are!" Long Ming said to the shadow.

"Hmmm! I'm a dark elf, you can call me Shadow! Shadow said expressionlessly, wiping the shortblade.

"What a cold guy!" Ling Feng complained, "By the way, what the hell is that guy?" He actually grew so tall, and even if he didn't get closer, he could feel the huge aura coming from him! ”

Long Ming: They also remembered the guy who was hiding in the dark.

"That's the Titan, it's not the same as the dark elves, but I'm sure he's the Titan!" Shadow said lightly.

"Huh?? I didn't expect that guy to really exist! Oh no, let's get in touch with the adventurers! Ling Feng urged Taylor, thinking of what Krent said about the Titans' powerful strength, Ling Feng felt that he had no confidence in his heart.

"Okay!" Taylor immediately closed his eyes, trying to telepathically connect with the other adventurers.

But at this moment, Taylor's telepathy had not yet been established, and a violent hurricane suddenly blew from the depths of the cave, and a huge figure came behind Taylor with the hurricane, and he did not hesitate to raise his huge forearm and smash it against Taylor's head, which was as thick as Taylor's body! If this blow falls, Taylor, who is focused and telepathic and defenseless, will unexpectedly turn into meat sauce.

"Be careful!" Long Ming and the others wanted to shout at Taylor, but the words were still in their throats, and they were afraid that when the words came out, Taylor would be hit.
