Shadow Covenant

Chapter 143 "Princess Ghost"

Under the night, in the quiet corner of the manor, the moonlight outside the window spilled into the wooden house through the window and shone on the floor, which also made this ghost girl with a bright smile look so dreamlike, not like an undead ghost, but more Like some kind of spirit with good intentions, clean and pure.

"Ye'an, this powerful gentleman, don't be afraid, it's your power that woke me up!"

The ghost girl in the blue princess dress was full of etiquette in her conversation. She bowed to Woody very politely, and stroked the transparent hair that fell down due to the bow, revealing her iconic pointed ears. But it looks like a human being. Obviously, she is a half-elf.

"Good night, Her Royal Highness Princess Ilkander."

Woody responded neither humble nor overbearing. Although the corner of his eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't show it.

"you know me?"

Seeing Woody revealing her identity in one word, the ghost girl's face suddenly became a little surprised. After all, she hadn't heard this title for a long time. Her title is only the poor princess who died.

"Of course, even after hundreds of years of your beauty, the mainland is still spreading praises. Many bards in Asenland even wrote many poems praising you, and there are even festivals related to you."

"What's more, isn't the emblem on your chest the invincible Vata Castle and the incomparable Goshawk sword that Ilkander once owned under the leadership of the former king, as a study in Palermo? The nobleman, I can still recognize this."

Woody's answer was very organized. He first pointed to the royal emblem of Ilkander, which could better reflect his identity, except for the princess crown on his head, and then pointed to the quiet night outside the window, but You can see the unquenchable lighthouse that is a prominent landmark. In my memory, Palermo has existed for a much longer time than Ilkander.

After all, having said that, Ilkander once had a relationship with Palermo.

Ilkander, located at the junction of the Northland and the South Principality, used to be an enclave of Bavialo, and had a close trade relationship with Palermo. The nobles of the two cities even had many marriages.

But in the end, due to various reasons, about three centuries ago, Irkand successfully established an independent country, and the fourth king Hubos married an elf woman as queen.

At that time, his actions caused a sensation in the entire Assenland kingdom. After all, in the eyes of most human nobles, the elves are at most just slaves, especially in countries that respect bloodline theory.

And the crystallization of their love is the ghost girl in front of them, Anna Bocius Ilkander.

The main content of the diary "Anna of the Green Castle" is simply to tell that Anna, as a half-elf princess, went to find the shelter "Green Castle" according to her mother's last words after her country was subjugated. What I have seen and heard along the way, and obviously the final outcome is a failure.

Otherwise, the ghost attached to the book could not be her. The main line of this mission among the saints was caused by the poor elf girl's obsession with the castle after her death. She hoped to find it again. Therefore, I hope that the employer will rely on her broken memory to search for traces of Greenfield Castle in various areas of Asenland.

It's a very old-fashioned serial commission story, but the rewards are rich enough.

Except for a set of sun elf armor that is not inferior to the morning star gauntlet set on him, there is also an ancient weapon in his hand. Although it is used by the caster, the reward after completing all the tasks will not be less than [-] Gold coins, which is a price enough to buy legendary items.

"Ah! Really? I thought that what was left was a stupid name. You can call me Anna. The relics of the kingdom have disappeared, and the princess will naturally disappear as well."

The consciousness of the ghost girl is obviously clearer than he imagined, and the face visible to the naked eye showed melancholy, but it quickly changed, and began to follow the process in the game, asking the person who awakened her in front of her if she could complete the failure for her. wish fulfilled.

And looking at the half-elf princess looking forward to her with beautiful eyes, Woody naturally shook his head without hesitation and righteous words.

"Excuse me, can I think about it again?"

Woody didn't agree, nor did he refuse. Originally, he thought that he would do this serial mission during the journey, killing two birds with one stone.

But he suddenly remembered that the task of the first ring was to find an elf market that appeared irregularly in various parts of Asenland. It's not too late to make a decision after knowing the location of the elf market last time. If you agree, this ghost girl will always be by his side. Apart from being unable to pry into the heart, there is no secret at all.

"Well, I also know that this is a very embarrassing request for you. In this case, then..."

The Princess Mononoke did not appear very discouraged after hearing Woody's words. Instead, she had a gentle persuasion on her face. Nostalgia, the paranoia of undead creatures and hatred of the living are not displayed at all.

It's a pity that the ending didn't seem to be very good in the end. Woody remembered that the ending of the serial missions released on the forum seemed to be a dying ending. At that time, because of many cloud clearances, the anchor and players were still having a big fight. I watched Anna XX on various video sites, but later recruited her a wave of hackers...

Woody quickly discarded the random thoughts in his heart, and then followed Anna's words with apology, and closed the black leather diary. It is said that this will make her fall into a deep sleep again. If she wants to wake up again, she only needs to open it in the future.

After dealing with everything, Woody put all his equipment and adventure supplies in order and arranged them neatly. Then he sighed and looked at the white lighthouse standing on the top of the hill in the distance outside the window, and the sea breeze under the twinkling stars. Flicking, giving people a feeling of relaxation and joy.

But life has to go on. After the simple episode, Woody continued to think about the plan after the adventure, and recalled some small towns and city-states that must be passed on the road, whether there are any tasks or side tasks suitable for him at this stage, and whether some Something to help him next.

It's just that because that period of time was too long, it took him a long time to recall the past slowly.

It is worth mentioning that, from Palermo to the Koval Forest on the border of the Kingdom, you do not travel in Bavialone, but go all the way north along the flowering coastline in the west, passing through three city-states and a dozen or so small towns. Town, plus across the Kingdom of the Moon Sea, turn around on the way to reach the Koval Forest bordering on the west of the kingdom and Baviallo, and the Crescent Mountains are at the border of the Kingdom of the Moon Sea and bordering on Baviallo. It is a tundra of frozen tundra with strong winds.

From a geographical point of view, a simple summary in one sentence is that Palermo is located in the westernmost part of Baviallo, while the Corvar Forest is located in the northernmost part of the central kingdom of Baviallo.

According to the shortest straight line distance between two points, it may take one and a half, or even two months, to travel within the kingdom, but if you return to the territory from abroad, it will only take less than [-] days. If everything goes well .

Naturally, the time in the middle cannot be wasted. Since he triggered the advanced profession of "Blade of Disaster", he has added the physical exercise that had been temporarily put on hold to his daily routine, and started to meditate to strengthen his spirit, just like Angelina.

The specialty of forging the soul requires a person's body and spirit to be tempered to a very high level. An entry-level ascetic may be able to easily do it, but with Woody's current body, it is still far from enough. His current Most of the body is enhanced by the green grass trial. If you want to go further, you may have to cross the second threshold of the demon hunter.

——"Trial in the valley."

According to the information left by Grandi, all the demon hunters who became Calamity Blade have passed the joint approval and test of demon hunters, and each item is challenging the limit of demon hunters, such as physical strength, There are also the abilities of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, as well as mental strength. In addition, all the disaster blades have completed the "Valley Trial".

The Valley Trial is not a name for crossing the valley, but an enhanced version of the Grass Trial. It is a metaphor for a difficult trial that is as difficult as climbing a valley. This trial involves a wider range this time. Mutations related to bone marrow and hormones, as well as improvements in internal organs, bones, and blood, and most demon hunters who have reached this step will have their hair turn from the original yellow, brown, and golden to grayish white, but it is not that kind of vitality. The lost gray is like white tulips blooming tenaciously and full of vigor in the lawns and stone crevices at the bottom of the mountain stream in spring.

Only after reaching this level can one be truly qualified to advance to the Calamity Blade.

Otherwise, the corruption of those strange monsters is not a vegetarian, and a little leak is enough to put the newly advanced Calamity Blade into endless danger.

However, unexpected things are always a little sudden, a force from outside the plane strikes, interrupting his thoughts at night again, but this time it is no longer a warm and soft call, but with an abyssal breath His gaze comes from the void.

Woody overlooked one thing, that is, Asenland is located in the corner of the multiverse, whether it is the bottomless abyss, Baator hell, or other outer planes, in essence, the closest to them, they pay the most attention The main material plane is Terra.

Therefore, in the deep pit of the magic net, when the dark purple-black smoke billowed like a huge wave in the sky above the plane, revealing the silver brilliance of the astral world faintly, under the light that was dimmer than the dead stars, a ray of divine will finally stepped forward. After hundreds of millions of long distances, it returned to its country.

At the same time, in the extravagant and magnificent Lolth Temple above the drow city of Elkh, the vicious spider mistress received a sudden stop of a remote consciousness when she was entrenched on her web throne. The facial expression changed slightly for a moment, and one of the thousands of threads He used to deal with the chosen believers was also separated at this moment.

Every part of the gods is very busy. Without the help of the gods, it is almost impossible to handle the calls of thousands of believers. Therefore, most of them are controlled by the independent gods.

As for that remote plane, he didn't have the desire to control or win the drow's belief there, and the divine nature's incitement and incitement to the local drow was only part of his memory.

After all, the power of Assenland's faith transmitted to the Abyss is 90.00% less than that of the main material plane Terra, which is enough to dissuade him. This contribution is estimated to be less than a drow village in Terra There are a lot of people coming, but it takes a lot of divinity to fight against the native demigods there, the thankless model, not to mention the disappearance of the wall of fate, the broken thread of fate in the multiverse is stirring the tide below .

All the gods have chosen the safest way at this moment, not to go out in the kingdom of God, and he is no exception. Divinity is very important at this moment.

If he hadn't noticed that another equally notorious goddess was also involved, he wouldn't have bothered to divide a ray of divinity into it, as a free observer.

Fortunately, the investigation these days has also investigated clearly, and I understand what He wants to do.

Is it an ancient evil...

interesting.

The chaos caused by assassination and betrayal was his favorite script, and he was already looking forward to that day.

As for how to kill the human being who dared to let his divinity return to the kingdom of God in this way, he had already skipped it. The life and death of a mortal has always been just a number, not even a number.

As far as he is concerned, if it does not come from Asenland, there will be no waves in his heart at all, and he will share a bit of divinity to operate, just to maintain his authority as a god, and to use the cast of divinity again as A coordinate and chess piece can be used again when really needed.

——"It is possible to go against the will of other gods, but go against His will."

——"There will be no escape!"

——"Being tortured before death, and returning to the pit of the magic net after death, this is the fate of most people."

——"Those who go to the pit of the magic web will either become hungry meals for the spider-like residents, or they will become the new residents of this place amid endless wailing, repenting the past in the goddess's spider web, and making atonement for it."

The insignificant strand of divinity belonging to Rose, the spider goddess, once again embarked on a long journey. With the help of not-so-strong spiritual power, he moved forward in the astral world. When he successfully crossed the barrier of the plane and returned to When he arrived at that small remote plane, he immediately decided to make a quick decision. After locating Woody in a few seconds, he directly used the fastest solution he could use.

--"toxin."

This is one of the methods of betrayal and assassination that He loves to watch. When the toxin is fermented, He will never tire of watching the hideous and distorted face of the victim.

But what he didn't expect was that when he manipulated his own consciousness to drill into the minds of the human beings in front of him, trying to strike a double blow at the spiritual and physical levels.

What happened next made it hard for him to accept.

I saw the most deadly black widow toxin enter the human body in front of me under the influence of the spell. Except for being slightly effective at the beginning, it quickly fell into the sea like a mud cow without any waves.

And then, his killing and influence on the spiritual level also lost its effect instantly after the human being held a shrine exuding the natural breath that he hated most.

How is this possible, World Tree's... contract...

In this way, the delayed will of the gods returned to calm in a rather dramatic solution.

Woody, on the other hand, was relieved when he saw the outstanding figure lit up in the data panel, and the "Immunity" that had used up all the skill points, piled up to 50 skill points on the panel, and upgraded to an extra level.

However, when he saw the natural shrine that had absorbed the divinity of the spider and was wrapped in blood red at this time, his face was as ugly as the rosemary in the cold wind outside the window.

It really deserves to be the god with the highest hatred, Tiamat is half a head inferior to this crazy woman.

This time, in addition to the body needing time to digest the toxin from the goddess, his carefully crafted shrine is also directly scrapped...
