Shadow Covenant

Chapter 125 "Warm Wind in Winter"

He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that the drow elves, who were sprayed out by the legendary bronze dragon and even wiped out the main city, would still have the energy to trouble him.

Immortal, right?

This was the first pure killing intent that sprouted in Woody's heart, who had always wanted to avoid it but had never thought about going deep into the dark area to wipe out grass and roots.

In the past, it was because I wanted to leave Palermo, and I had too much to do with them. There was no need to establish hatred. After all, you can’t chase other people’s home courts and kill them all. Maybe other people can do it, but now he You don't even have to think about it.

But thinking of the complex terrain in the Underdark, his sanity gradually took over. It is not advisable to act recklessly. Even if he wants to take revenge, he must have a clear and well-planned plan. It doesn't work.

After all, in the final analysis, he is just a demon hunter who has just reached the second level. Even though some talents and specialties are far superior to those of his peers, Woody still feels that it is not a one-man effort to destroy an area where the challenge level may reach 10+, or His current strength can be easily ended.

Even if all [-] gold coins were taken out to buy an earthquake spell scroll that could collapse the ground, it would not be enough.

So now, what should we do?
Woody looked at the handful of off-white carapace shavings in his hand, and pondered silently.

He thought about telling Aunt Susan directly that this matter made them continue to worry. After all, the victory of the expedition team was in front of them, and it didn't hurt to go on another expedition, but... would it really work?

Or is it his original intention at this time, hoping that he will do this?

Woody got into a tangled state so rarely that Susan was still in Yassin's room meditating when he witnessed the pastor in the study to find the whereabouts of the two brothers Marko and Logan through divine magic.

But that's the case, in the end he didn't really struggle for too long, most of the contemplation just now was recalling the details of the past few days, he wanted to see if he could catch that thousand people through the scenes he had witnessed with his own eyes. The thousand-faced shapeshifting spider, after all, if there were more reasonable suspects, as long as they were not disturbed, it would not be difficult to catch them.

However, in this thought, Woody heard the discussion of Susan and others with sharp ears.

——"Black market...black street...send people..."

These news made Woody seem to have caught something, but he didn't seem to catch it, until he remembered what Angelina said to him last night, and suddenly remembered something.

That is, to some extent, it is indeed possible for him to solve this difficulty that lingers in his mind.

He immediately became excited, so when he saw Susan again, he used the pretext of visiting the Lutov manor just now, and directly replied to his aunt's inquiry about what to do.

Susan Edith was still joking after hearing this, obviously she was very satisfied with the news of the pastor's detection technique just now.

"At that time, you can use this house as your new house for getting married, and renovate it. It's very good."

"Auntie, how old am I!"

Woody was a little helpless. Could it be that this group of elders wished him to get married in place now and have children quickly?

"Of course not, but this time you are going to the extremely dangerous Northland, and you are alone again. Perhaps you should really leave an heir to the Aleister family."

As Susan Edith, who received aristocratic education since she was a child, she is very serious about the continuation of blood, but she doesn't mind whether the child is male or female.

After all, in Asenland, it is the same whether it is a male king or an empress. Spells and extraordinary power have brought the physical fitness of men and women closer. To some extent, it can be regarded as the mage-based Asenland, which has remained unchanged since ancient times. The only truth that comes from meaning is.

Strength has no gender, only size...

"It'll be fine!"

For this, Woody can only choose to be relieved, she seems to have endless worries, and Woody's words obviously did not dispel her worries.

But it was quickly diverted by Woody.

"By the way, what did the people in the Dawn Temple say just now, did they find it?"

"It has been found. According to the effect of the guidance technique, they should stay in the black market now."

"Ground?"

"Where have you been?" Susan looked at Woody suspiciously. He found that his nephew seemed to be more and more familiar with Palermo, and he had even been to the black market that few people knew about.

"Uh, I went there with a friend." Woody laughed and changed the subject again.

"It's good if you find it, then I won't accompany you back. I plan to take a stroll in Palermo before leaving."

"Do you want a carriage to pick you up?"

"Well, one car is fine!"

Susan looked a little hesitant, but finally called Woody before parting.

"Woody."

"Huh?" Woody, who was about to get into the carriage to look for Angelina, turned his head, just in time to see his aunt's clear sapphire eyes staring at him from the carriage window.

"Although I don't know what your trip to the North is for."

"But no matter what, you must put your own life as the first priority. Don't force it. Your parents don't want you to bear too much..."

Having said that, Susan Edith hesitated to speak, but finally said.

"Anyway, Woody, you have to remember that even if you fail to accomplish what you want to do, you don't have to be discouraged."

"In the hearts of Weilando and I, you will always be the best."

"You can come back anytime, the mansion where I live will always reserve a room for you..."

Hearing Susan's farewell declaration in advance, Woody was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted, sighed in his heart, but still said with a smile on his face.

"Of course, when the time comes, my aunt doesn't want to kick me out because of my decadent appearance!"

"Haha, how could it be, I will fascinate you so many noble girls in Baviallo, it's too late for us to like you, don't underestimate your charm, little Woody, your father... your mother is fascinated You have a large number of noble sons, you look like your mother, and in a few years, you may choose the daughter of the Earl and Duke of St. Lawrence!"

Speaking of the past again, Susan showed a subtle smile.

Then, Woody had already forgotten when he left Lutov Manor, he only remembered the warmth of Susan's embrace, and this force seemed to be like a lighthouse in the dark, illuminating the way forward for him.

Maybe this is the meaning that some people often talk about.

Woody smiled, and soon put his mind on Angelina.

He came this time to prove one thing.

So, when he arrived at the so-called Thousand Sails Hotel in the trade area, he pushed open the creaking shutter door, passed through the noisy hall of mercenaries, and after asking the bartender, he confirmed the room number that Angelina had told him. Before checking out, he chose to go upstairs to look for it.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he went up, he happened to bump into Angelina who hadn't checked out and was about to leave. Her four younger brothers and sisters were following her, without saying a word, their expressions It's not good at all, and it looks like it's still in shock.

Today, Angelina is different from her previous bodybuilder. She now covers herself more in a black robe that can cover her head to her feet. The black-robed woman whose figure seems to be round is her.

"How did you come?"

She subconsciously put Lin and the others behind her. Their attire was the same as Lin's, wearing black robes to conceal their figures, and turbans on their heads.

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the room first!"

Woody glanced at the noisy hall downstairs. The cold outside didn't affect the fiery atmosphere inside at all. Woody planned to make a quick decision.

But Angelina did hesitate at this time, although she nodded, she pleaded.

"Then Woody, wait for me for a while, I'll come back to you right away after I've settled Lin and the others!"

"Lin and the others are infected with the curse now? Are you planning to go to the temple to see if it can be exorcised?"

Hearing this, Woody guessed.

Then he went straight forward, almost leaning against his body to her ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Is it like you, have grown spiders..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw the eyes under the black robe and became surprised.

"how do you know……"

"Go ahead and talk about it!"

He walked straight down the corridor.

But this time, Angelina didn't hesitate, took Lin and the others directly, and returned to the hotel room that hadn't been checked out yet.
