Shadow Covenant

Chapter 11 011 "Manor Event"

It is not clear which demon hunter Woody the Shadow Snake School originated from, but if one of the four basic schools is the most suitable for him, then he definitely chooses "Shadow Snake" without hesitation.

Whether it is attack methods or combat weapons, he is quite skilled.

To put it simply, it means having a wealth of combat experience.

Whether it is a giant bear or a winter wolf, Woody knows far less than Shadow Snake. Most of the alchemy potions he prepared in his previous life were chosen to benefit the "Shadow Snake" school.

Therefore, choosing this school could not be more correct.

With the confirmation of the Shadow Snake School, however, it is different from the game.

There are no skill icons in Woody's field of vision.

Instead, there is an extra strange memory in my mind that does not belong to the previous life or the original owner.

The violent impact made Woody cover his head and grunt.

In his memory, he trained day and night in a dungeon that resembled a demon hunter's castle, fighting, sneaking, assassinating, disabling (making) traps, dispensing poison, and... Parkour.

In the end, after an unknown amount of time, he led the horse with the consent of the invisible demon hunter mentor, left the demon hunter castle on the high mountain, and headed for the vast continent...

After Woody opened his eyes again, everything in the alchemy room was still so familiar, but a little strange. Everything he remembered just now seemed to have happened, but it was like a dream.

But when the torrent of data washed over his eyes again, he knew that all this was not a dream.

"Confirmed by the Shadow Snake School."

"Character attribute adjustment: Dexterity 16→17."

"Professional skill update: stealth, trap, movement, alchemy."

"Comprehension Specialty: Shadow Ambush"

In the alchemy room, under the shadow, Woody's slender body melted into the darkness more and more, as if it was one with the shadow, and disappeared on the rattan chair together with the body.

"Shadow Ambush": Numerous times of training in dark dungeons, let you know the most suitable position to hide yourself in the shadows under the firelight, stealth judgment in the shadows +5, when you attack unsuspecting enemies, add 1 times (+2) the current base damage, if the attack is a vital position, then the base damage will be doubled (+[-]).

"What they are afraid of is not the shadows that can be seen everywhere, but us who appear in the shadows without knowing when—"Kingslayer" Gilman"

Shadow Ambush is the main source of output for the demon hunters of the Shadow Snake School in the early stage, and it is combined with the damage of ordinary daggers of 2D4.

As long as he stabs at a vital point, even a fighter who has the specialty of "Stubbornness" to increase his health in the early stage, like his previous life, will have to drink his hatred on the spot.

Shadow ambush seems to be similar to the rogue's "backstab", but Woody knows that the shadow ambush's magic is much more extensive than the rogue's backstab.

Although many players will subconsciously associate it with another professional wanderer in "Saint" when they first come into contact with this school.

But Woody, who has experience in the Shadow Snake School in his previous life, can say without hesitation that although they look the same, the core is completely different.

Have you seen which rogue's main weapon is a one-handed snake-headed sword that is almost two meters long?Or have you ever seen a professional assassin who took off his hood carelessly and just started doing it?

The former is the "recommended" professional weapon of the Shadow Snake School, and the latter is the action taken by the famous demon hunter mentor in the school when he assassinated the king of a certain country, and it was this CG that made Woody choose the Shadow Snake School.

Although in Grandi's world, the Shadow Snake School has withered, there are not even one out of ten demon hunters from the school.

but……

It is our duty to recast the glory of Shadow Snake!
The young man in the darkness opened his snake-like vertical eyes, no longer hesitated, put his feet on the ground, and got up to leave the alchemy room where he had been staying for several days.

After all, the itching emanating from the proliferation of dense ephedra and white pustules covered his shoulder-length black hair on his back was like a thorn on his back, like a sword hanging on his neck.

However, when he was about to walk out of the alchemy room, Woody took out a black ribbon from the pocket of his black trousers, which was not long enough to cover his eyes.

The reason why demon hunters are rejected and feared by foolish people.

Part of it is because of the pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people and no different from monsters.

Only then did they affirm what the warlocks said.

Demon hunters are a group of out-and-out mutant monsters, aberrant monsters resurrected on the corpses of human children.

Although Asenland is far more open than Grandy, but in order to avoid controversy.

Woody still specially asked the butler to bring a black and gray ribbon from the clothing and accessories store in the city, which is specially used to cover the eyes, but does not block too much vision.

In addition to the most extensive bedding, ribbons are also used by some nobles to cover eye injuries.

There are also a small number of people who will cover their expressions during negotiations, so that the other party cannot see his intentions from the eyes.

Woody, who tied a ribbon and tied a satin knot on the back of his head, felt that the world had lost a lot of color, turning into the off-white color of an old camera.

This sense is more exciting than in the game, the peripheral vision from the corner of the eye no longer brings light, but heavy shadows.

Let him who is friendly to the shadow become more comfortable.

It also made Woody, who originally just wanted to use ribbons for a while, feel that it would be a good choice to change to a "wonderful" quality ribbon.

Push the door out.

Seeing the bright light again, Woody didn't feel uncomfortable or blinked at all, and his body steadily stepped up the stone steps step by step.

But what Woody didn't expect was that it was already the night of the third day.

In the hall, there were crowds of maids and waiters coming and going, holding exquisite silver dinner plates in their hands.

"Who is this for?"

In Woody's memory, it seems that only major festivals are so grand every year, but now there are still a few days before the "Harvest Festival", so logically speaking, it will not be so soon.

He grabbed a maid at random and asked.

The maid looked at the blindfolded man with pity, and added a touch of soft youthful voice to his immature face.

"Master Woody, Madam ordered us to prepare it. I heard that many important people in the city are coming today."

"As for more, I don't know."

Let go of the maid who doesn't know how much inside information.

Woody had some doubts after hearing this, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't think much about it.

But even so, Woody still heard the origin of the guests at the banquet from the shouts of the maids, waiters, and housekeepers on the way back to his room.

"The Lutov family."

This term made Woody's right hand slightly stagnate when he was about to open the door of his room.

In his memory, Lutov, like Edith, also had the title of Viscount conferred by the Kingdom of Baviallo.

And the industries they are engaged in are all wine products.

It's just that most of the wines that Edith specializes in are low-to-medium price wines, while Lutov specializes in pure wines with a more delicate taste, which are exclusively for the nobles of Wang Xun.

The two rarely meet each other in terms of sales channels, coupled with the high and low sales channels of alcohol, Lutov has always looked down on Edith.

Not to mention that the Lutov family came here and took the initiative to come to the door.

The purpose of their coming here is...

Woody thought for a moment, and thought.

Finally, he let go of the doorknob, but turned and walked towards another corridor leading to the study.

Let's hope he's wrong...

Under the ribbon, the boy's eyes gradually became sharper.
