Zhou Shu has never thought that he is a detective, after all, he lacks wisdom, but he has never thought that he is a fool.

For a long time, Zhou Shu always had a flash of inspiration when facing trouble, although he has always played the role of a muddy person, but he also occasionally looks like a military advisor.

After hearing some news from the Bow Knight, Zhou Shu suddenly thought of a somewhat terrifying possibility. The Knight King has found so many talented and powerful magic power owners to be adopted sons and daughters, could it be that he is looking for a new host for the Shadow of Calamity?!

What exactly the Shadow of Calamity is, it is not yet clear, and Zhou Shu only knows the name on the Book of Summoning. Now the Knight King class, the chaos caused by the Calamity Mage fifty years ago has returned, which seems to mean that the Shadow of Calamity has left the Knight King and gone to someone else's body to manipulate it to continue to cause chaos.

For a long time, Zhou Shu showed a strong lack of confidence in his reasoning ability, he didn't think that his reasoning was correct, maybe he just misunderstood something.

Now the only thing that can support this speculation is the Knight King's completely different attitude towards Princess Fuhu and Ban Shi'er when they are likely to cultivate into Yang-level martial artists.

Princess Fuhu made her own decisions and lost the opportunity to become a yang-level martial artist, while Ban Shi'er was asked not to trespass. If the guess is true, Zhou Shu thought about it for a while, that is to say, before Ban Shi'er cultivated, the shadow of calamity had already found a body, and he should also be a yang-level martial artist, so he didn't need an extra yang-level martial artist in the world to oppose him.

If the speculation is true, then the Knight King at that time was still controlled by the Shadow of Calamity, and it was reasonable for him to order Ban Shi'er to find the Golden Knight, the person who had solved the Shadow of Calamity once.

So...... When did that thing break away from the Knight King?'

Zhou Shu asked Ban Shi'er when the Knight King gave her the order. Ban Shi'er said that she had also been sent to the Valley of the Kingdom before, and in the valley to find out if anyone had trespassed on the forbidden land, she found a few of them and took them back to meet the Knight King, and then was sent to patrol. It wasn't until four days ago that Ban Shi'er was given a second mission. Find a mercenary group called the Golden Fir Tree and eradicate them.

Ban Shi'er, the name of the Golden Fir Tree Mercenary Group, had never heard of it before, and Zhou Shu called Midali to ask her about this trickster, but she didn't get an answer. This mercenary group seems to have sprung up overnight. And he didn't do anything excessive, he was just in a hurry.

Ban Shi'er: "Since I got the portraits from the Knight King, it wasn't difficult to find them. ”

Zhou Shu was taken aback, "What?!There is a portrait?!"

Ban Shi'er took out the canvas from his pocket with some embarrassment and stuffed it to Zhou Shu, "I'm sorry, I didn't fully trust you before, so ......"

Zhou Shu understood this, grabbed the portrait and looked at it casually. There were two people on it, a man and a woman, whom he happened to know.

'What a golden fir tree...... Totally the fir princess and her man. ’

The fir princess Zhou Shu is very familiar. Before this woman was caught by Aleusha, she was handed over by Zhou Shu to the sick princess, and then she was made super miserable. Master Zhou remembered that Guo Degang said that 'peers are enemies', and he basically realized the true meaning of this from when the sick princess tossed the fir princess.

The abuse of the fir princess was not all bad, at least the sick princess found her a man. He was one of the Assassins involved in the Scarlet Smoke Incident.

The Assassin, Poti, had been severely injured and resting in the home of the Bobcat siblings, and was later handed over to the Sick Princess, who used him to humiliate the Fir Princess.

Zhou Shu didn't know what was going on, but he knew that Princess Fir seemed to like this Bodi, and the two seemed to be in love with each other.

After the siege of the defeated city was lifted, Princess Fir and Podi were released back to the forest country. Princess Fir contributed to the armistice between the two countries, while Podi was imprisoned for being disrespectful to the princess. Zhou Shu probably knew so much, he couldn't understand it now, why did these two guys appear here? And they were wanted by the Knight King?

As for the name of the Golden Fir Tree Mercenary Group, it is estimated that the Knight King said it casually. He definitely couldn't directly ask Ban Shi'er to kill the princess of the neighboring country who had just ceased war, so he casually fooled a name.

After a preliminary collation of existing clues. One by one, the problems surfaced.

According to Ban Shi'er, her arm was torn off by the werewolf monster, and Podi and Princess Fir seem to be able to control these werewolves. Although the fir princess was treated obediently by the sick princess before, she must have a deep hatred for Bai Yueguo, if she could really manipulate monsters or if she herself was the one possessed by the shadow of disaster. Then the White Moon Kingdom is about to be unlucky.

The last time the shadow of disaster appeared, I didn't know that Mao was particularly hostile to Bai Yueguo, and now the hostility is still there, and the good news is that I can finally guess a little bit of this guy's motive for committing the crime.

After seeing these two portraits, Zhou Shu wanted to call his eldest lady and the sick princess, but it was still early and she had the time to chat with her.

The Knight King is now seriously ill, and Zhou Shu is wondering if he can treat the Knight King at this moment as a 'good person', instead of the 'accused king' in his previous impression.

Judging from the fact that he sent Ban Shi'er to assassinate Princess Fir and Bodi, he probably still hoped that Bai Yueguo would come out of trouble, but unfortunately Ban Shi'er was also lacking in combat power and was almost killed.

"Four days ago. Zhou Shu repeated the date when Ban Shi'er received the task. At that time, he had just arrived at Iron Key City, and there were no pursuers at that time. In other words, the previous orders to hunt down the falcon were all given by the Knight King possessed by the shadow of disaster.

According to Midali, all the big mercenaries in the country were unlucky, and Nattie assassinated the leader of the mercenary legion, and the order came from the possessed Knight King.

The more I thought about these things, the more complicated they became, and Master Zhou began to feel that his IQ was not enough, and his thoughts suddenly stopped in one place and could not go on any longer.

Fortunately, it seems that God did not intend to let him be idle, and immediately brought new troubles to annoy him. Zhou Shu had just decided to change his mind to study the things in front of him, when suddenly a warning came from the Book of Summoning, saying that there were more and more werewolf monsters, and it seemed that they were rushing in the direction of Iron Key City.

"Hey, it's going to be deadly. ”

Zhou Shu didn't know how many times he said this today. Say goodbye to a few girls for a while, and then fly up to the sky to find out the situation. Sure enough, after about ten minutes of flying, he saw the entrance of the valley mountain range like a gourd's mouth. Out of it came a large area of werewolf monsters running on all fours.

"Why is this happening?" Zhou Shu vaguely guessed that it might be that he was spotted flying into the valley during the day, prompting these guys to start taking the initiative to attack.

If the person who accused them was really the fir princess, then her purpose must have been nothing more than simply destroying the White Moon Kingdom, and now this kind of thing is in line with her motives.

Zhou Shu glanced at the group of monsters that were rushing towards Iron Key City, and then flew directly back to the Eagle Slayer camp, and jumped to Midali from the sky in a hurry, asking her to leave with the Eagle Slayer troops.

"Werewolf monsters are on the move, so hurry up and go with your army. ”

Midali is grateful for this, her army is not used to defend her country. Any unplanned injury to the human being cannot be tolerated. Eagle-killers don't care if the world is really full of monsters again, they won't feel uncomfortable with monsters until someone is willing to pay a lot of money to ask them to go out of the mountains to fight monsters.

Ban Shi'er, who had a broken arm, was in the shade of a rare tree with the Archers and Natty, whispering about how to enter the valley mountains to complete the mission, and Zhou Shu went to relay the bad news to Midali after informing them of the bad information he had seen.

It's a pity. The three of them seemed to think it was good news.

"Monsters attack, attack the city. That would give us a reason to ask Iron Key for help and access the Vale Mountains with the help of this legion. ”

The logic of the three girls is very right, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it still caused Zhou Shu to sigh. It would be fine if this came out of the mouth of the Bow Knight and Nati, after all, they had never seen werewolf monsters, but Ban Shi'er said the same. It made Zhou Shu a little unacceptable.

"Those werewolf monsters are too agile and powerful, and they even have an absolute advantage in numbers. Let the human legion fight them, isn't that looking for death?"

"No, it won't. Ban Shi'er seemed to be very confident, and Zhou Shu thought she wanted to say something, but a sentence came out of her mouth. "I have confidence in the official legion of the White Moon Country. ”

Zhou Shu didn't know what this unwarranted confidence meant, but Midali had already gathered her army and fled in the opposite direction of the valley mountains.

If possible, they still prefer to be able to take refuge within the high walls of Iron Key City, but considering the horror of the city in the valley and mountain range described by Zhou Shukou, Midali feels that it is more practical to run away.

Suddenly, the horn of the highest alert level sounded in the camp of the Falcon Slayer, and the whole army gathered at a super speed as if they had seen a ghost and began to flee directly. Zhou Shu and Nati naturally wouldn't be so unproductive. Zhou Shu followed them, ready to try to protect the Iron Key City.

Master Zhou is a person who is afraid of trouble, but the things in front of him are no longer at the level of 'trouble'. First of all, he didn't want to see Iron Key City also slaughtered, and secondly, he was also tasked with the two-pack project of unifying the world within fifty years. As for the two people who worked in a package, Aleusha and the Gray Witch......

Midali's army was like a frightened fly and disappeared in three minutes, and the execution of orders was so powerful that Ban Shi'er was amazed. Zhou Shu and the three girls walked in the direction of the Iron Key City, preparing to warn the leisurely city and let the defenders be on alert. Zhou Shu grabbed the phone and called the Gray Witch twice, but there was no response at all, so he had to go to Alyusha.

It was the first time he had taken the initiative to call Aleusha, and if it weren't for the critical situation and the need for support now, he would probably have kept this state and not taken the initiative to contact Aleusha, after all, the two sides were close but not very familiar with each other.

After Zhou Shu got through the phone, he directly asked Alyusha in English if he knew the whereabouts of the gray witch, and said a few words about the problems he encountered here.

"Isn't it?!The Gray Witch hasn't changed back yet?!" Alyusha was also taken aback when she heard Zhou Shu's words.

She had always thought that the gray witch turned into a black cat and couldn't come back was only temporary, and that it would take a little time or two to find the trick to restore the human body. In her opinion, there is no difficulty at all in turning into a black cat, something similar to the ninety-nine multiplication formula, and it is impossible for her to be trapped for too long with the wisdom of the gray witch.

Now, Aleusha realized how low his friend's transfiguration talent was, and he was speechless for a while.

"Zhou Shu. The Grey Witch is busy right now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to reach her, so we'll have to wait for her to contact us. ”

After the Grey Witch turns into a cat, her phone is stuffed into the space props, unless she takes it out. Otherwise, others will not be able to contact her.

Zhou Shu is very unaccustomed to being released pigeons, and he obviously said that he would meet today, but now he can't get in touch.

Aleusha smiled bitterly: "The trouble over there doesn't seem to be very strict, otherwise you hold on for a day, and I'll take a leave of absence to help you tomorrow, how about it?"

Before Zhou Shu, Aleusha was much more serious than the Gray Witch, and her help sounded more reliable than the Gray Witch.

"Defend the city for a day?" Zhou Shu nodded when he heard this, "Okay." I'll try my best, you can find me, right? ”――

The Grey Witch in the form of a cat is eating the dry food in her baggage at this time, she really wants to eat something big like fish, animal offal can also be used, and she even wants to climb a tree to catch a bird to eat.

She also knew that her current situation was a sequelae of Transfiguration. Her head was already on the verge of being dominated by animal instincts, which terrified her.

She had planned to study how to turn herself back on her own, but now it seemed a little useless, and she was planning to call Aleusha for help after the meal.

As a result, the smell of the meal attracted other animals in the woods, among them several male cats, wild cats.

The Grey Witch has never doubted her femininity, even if she is a cat. See these things. She really knew to be afraid, and she was afraid of when the she-cat's instinct would make her wagging her tail at these guys and do something that would make her want to kill herself.

Thinking of this, she also threw away the food in her mouth and fled, while she ran to a very tall tree, and then turned the phone to plead with Aleusha.

Aleusha told him what he had heard from Zhou Shu. Then he talked about the method and principle of the transformation technique to restore the human form. The Grey Witch tried to change, but it didn't work.

"You need an afternoon of practice, and it's hard to get it back. Aleusha said this, and hung up the phone, and the gray witch began her hardest magical practice since the end of her school days.

Zhou Shu and the three girls came to the Iron Key City. Ban Shi'er used her identity as a fourth-line month-level martial artist plus the king's envoy to break into the city lord's mansion very unreasonably and directly defeated all the guards who were unwilling to let her go.

The other three followed him tremblingly, a little worried that the city lord would do something against him because of Ban Shi'er's attitude.

They had come to warn the lord of the city to mobilize his army and close the gates. Ban Shi'er's fighting and killing really mobilized the army, and the good news was that the city lord appeared directly from his mansion and met the violent one-armed woman who claimed to be the king's envoy.

Zhou Shu had only seen this bearded city lord two days ago, and so had the other party. At this time, the appearance of Zhou Shu was still remembered by the city lord.

The two sides met in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord was guarded by a large number of miscellaneous fish, he looked at Zhou Shu and thought hard for a while and finally remembered his identity, "You are the leader of the Fire Eye Legion...... Bodyguards?"

"Almost. Zhou Shu bowed to the city lord, and then pushed Ban Shi'er in front of him.

"Sorry to visit you this way. "Ban Shi'er showed the attitude that a messenger should have, although it seemed arrogant to others. "We've just spotted an army of monsters in the valley mountains coming up from outside the city, and we're here to warn your lord. ”

After hearing this, the city lord nodded, and said to a few of his subordinates beside him: "Go and pass on my order, let the legion commander come to my side, and he will come alone." The legions in the city went to take over the city gates, sent out scouts, and closed the city gates immediately when in danger. After he gave this order, the people around him ran to do it, and Ban Shi'er was relieved.

Ban Shi'er's direct approach saved many lives, and the city had long been far away from the battlefield, and it had long since lost its vigilance to deal with the situation of battle and the law. Fortunately, the process of meeting the city lord did not waste time with mud and water, which allowed the slow local legion to take over the city gate at a relatively safe time.

Not long after they reached the gates, werewolf monsters swooped down on the city like carp in the river. These monsters are known for their speed and strength, and the gates of the city were hoisted almost at the last of a thousand troops, and they almost let the werewolves into the city.

The situation outside the city was quickly fed back to the city lord, at this time Zhou Shu and they were opposing the city lord, and there was no hostility on both sides, but Zhou Shu still had something to say to the city lord, but it was not good to say it directly, and he needed to speak again when the city was in crisis.

Obviously, the crisis came quickly, and the city lord nodded calmly when he heard the return of his subordinates, and then bowed to Ban Shi'er and Zhou Shu, "Thank you for coming to report the news, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
