Shadow Covenant

Chapter 183 "Dragon Roaring Islands"

Looking at the location of the exit, the laughter continued and the hustle and bustle coming from his ears, Woody couldn't help but sigh with his hands on his forehead.

"Why is it like an amusement park?"

Woody looked at the channel that was originally used to cross the river, and it turned into what it is now. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was admiring Cecil's imagination, using the greasy technique in this place, or was surprised by Bei The locals seem to always be like this, when faced with difficulties, they can always find some way to have fun.

About an hour later, all the carriages and goods of the Angry Winter Merchant Group crossed the river safely.

But when Woody was about to go back to the carriage to rest, he received an unexpected invitation.

Cecil walked up to him and invited.

"Come and rest here, I just asked the servant to make some black tea, which can calm the mind and replenish energy."

The force field shield has long since disappeared, and Woody and Cecil, like everyone else, were soaked in water. Fortunately, when they were on the other side of the river, Cecil told the servants to cook a few pots of hot soup to drive away the cold. A few herbs were added to it. Woody drank two bowls not long ago. It tasted good. In addition to the fragrance of herbs, there was also a strong sweetness, like melted cheese.

Woody hesitated for a while, without too much entanglement, he followed Cecil's pace and entered the most central carriage.

It just so happened that he wanted to ask her something.

This was Woody's first time entering the furious winter merchant group's most conspicuous luxury carriage, and he was already mentally prepared, but the spaciousness inside still surprised him a little bit after he just opened the curtain.

This is not a carriage, it is simply a luxurious hall.

I don't know if it's because of the constant spell or some kind of space wonder, but the interior of the carriage is more than twice as large as the exterior. Not only is the floor covered with soft velvet blankets, but the curtains on the walls and the top of the ceiling are also unique. The earth-style animal skin decoration, together with the small bookshelves standing in the jungle, and the uncleaned spellcaster desk in the middle, give people a sense of gentleness in the barbarism at first glance, and the unique impact makes people It is hard to forget once one sees it.

"Sit casually, the black tea is still heating up, wait for a while."

After Cecil returned to the carriage, she seemed to be much more casual. She leaned lazily on a reclining chair wrapped in winter wolf fur, not wanting to move a single finger.

"Cecile."

Woody responded casually and found a place to sit down. After a while, after the black tea came, he took a sip and asked first.

"Ok?"

Cecil also drank the black tea. The warm liquid flowed through the throat and into the stomach. The warm feeling made her almost make a sound. When she heard Woody's question, she thought what was wrong with him and looked up. , and found that the black-haired young man was already sitting upright at this time.

"what's up?"

"Your teacher is Her Majesty Carolina, right?"

At this moment, the boy's golden eyes were like stars, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone, which gave people the feeling that cheating him would cause an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"Her Majesty Carolina is your teacher, right, Cecil."

Woody's words came out of the blue, but they were somewhat logical. Cecil's face was slightly surprised at this time. She narrowed her sea-blue eyes with the corners of the eyes slightly raised, and said in a slightly puzzled tone.

"Why are you asking this?"

She didn't admit it or deny it, but her face had changed from the previous smile to a restrained expression, becoming indifferent.

"I'm just curious about the relationship between you and her. She gave me this precious ring. I have to think about what gift to send back when I meet next time."

Woody already had a plan in his heart, and he had already planned it. After all, Lani not only gave him an ancient weapon, but also gave him a third way out of Asenland. If he came to ask for help again, he would definitely bring A little gift is gone, but he has already thought about the gift, and as for asking Cecil here, it is just used to deceive people.

Hearing Woody's words, Cecil, who was a little puzzled at first, immediately understood, but didn't say much, and his complexion improved a lot, and he said gently.

"His Royal Highness, she is just my first teacher, not a real teacher, but I grew up in her mage tower, which is true."

There was a little nostalgia in Cecil's eyes, how long had it been since she went back to that majestic Northland tower.

Four years or five years.

When I go back this time, I must take a good rest in the botanical garden on the seventh floor, visit Grandpa Taring by the way, and say hello to Duke Camry...

Seeing that Cecil admitted his identity straightforwardly, although Woody was prepared, he still asked a little bit unwillingly.

"Then besides you, does Her Majesty Carolina have any other disciples?"

Unexpectedly, Cecil rolled his eyes at this sentence, and asked directly.

"Have you heard that the teacher has accepted other disciples? Or is it that someone acted recklessly in the name of the teacher?"

"That's not true." Woody thought about it carefully, and found that Lani really didn't seem to accept any disciples.

"That's it."

Cecil was quite complacent and said it in old-fashioned words.

"So, if you tell others about your experience in Navia, many people will definitely be envious, including those self-proclaimed elite mages in the Thousand Towers Association. After all, the teacher rarely meets outsiders. What's more, I personally gave you such a precious gift."

"Woody, you have to know how to cherish it! You are right to ask me if you want to give a gift. As for the teacher, I like those messy spells and other weird knowledge the most. I think you know a lot. When we meet next time It's right to send this!"

"Oh, I see."

Woody took a deep look at the upbeat Cecil, and didn't say too much. Although he didn't mind reminding him, such a dangerous incident had happened to Demogorgon, and Woody didn't feel her vigilance. The heart will be very low. On the contrary, any disturbance now may cause the court mage who is caught in the escort mission to use the amulet that summons the legendary mage.

So, how did she die?
If the historical information is true, Cecil's death should have occurred during this period of time. I don't know if it was on the way to the Northland or after returning to Komilan. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible after the appearance of the astral whale, because At that time, some players had already joined the evocation faction of the Thousand Towers Society, who were able to analyze the spell fixed point of a ring spell, and the enhanced version of the greasy spell was already on the optional list.

Is he leaving early?
Woody looked at the court mage with a smile and Yan Yan, and that cat who was extremely lazy but kept paying attention to it in the corner. With Syl's existence, he must have the capital to fight against high-level mages. He is only a level 5 demon hunter. It would be a bit whimsical to want to get involved and turn the tide.

"Unfortunately, I guess I will return to the Northland a little later than you. Before heading to Kemilan, I have to take this little guy and the business group to the open sea."

However, even though Woody convinced himself so much and paved the way for his inner construction, he still couldn't help being surprised when he heard Cecil's next itinerary plan.

Caravans by sea.

Isn't this consistent with the information of the caravan that needs to be investigated for the accident in the North in the previous life in memory?
However, after he entered the Nursing Winter Merchant Group, he already knew from the mouth of the merchants that the upcoming journey will pass through several famous west coast cities, all the way to the north, the whole journey is by land, and there is no Sisi at all. The sea trip that Er said was why he boldly joined a Nudong business group that was likely to have an accident in his previous life.

"Oh, this, it's because of the temporary task given by the teacher last night. After I arrived in the Moon Sea Kingdom, I went to the Dragon's Roar Islands at Crashing Moon Port temporarily. I was originally asked to go alone with Donnie. , but Kag and their goods can be sold at a good price on the Dragon Roar Islands, they have worked hard all the way, and I plan to let them recover their blood there."

After Cecil heard Woody's question, he didn't hide it too much, because the news that he was about to go to sea in Crescent Moon Harbor would be informed to all members before leaving the Golden River Valley at the latest. The members of the team knew about it for two or three days, and it had no effect on the plan. She also showed Woody a compass that could guide ships to the Dragon Roar Islands. Without this special compass, the glaciers hidden under the Dragon Roar Islands would be enough Sinking [-]% of the ships that tried to approach it in vain, and this kind of compass will only be issued if it is approved by the local residents of the Longhou Islands.

Therefore, the group of profit-seeking businessmen would like to take this opportunity to go to the Longhou Islands. Usually, it is very difficult for their business groups in the North to pass there. Every time they pass by, they can bring good profits. In the link, it is easy to use salt and sugar that are not valuable in the outside world to exchange for some items that are far more valuable in the outside world.

After all, the local residents of the Dragon Roar Islands are much tougher than the barbarians in the North, and the residents of the Goliath tribe.

Inhabited there is a tribe of dragonborn.

Northlanders call them, or they call themselves Monlites.

In the dragon language, Monlit means... the warrior of the dragon.

Because they are in the ocean, they live by hunting whaling all year round. It is said that their bodies really contain the power of giant dragons in their blood or souls, as they claim.Almost every adult Monriter has an adult challenge level of 5 or above, and a personal level of 8, and every Monriter has at least one natural ability like a warlock.

But unlike most dragonborn who are so conspicuous, they look like ordinary Northlanders in appearance, and their attire is similar to that of the Northlanders. They all wear iron helmets with ox horns or antlers on their heads, chain armor with fur studs and steel armor. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the skin and eyes of the Monlit people are more pale, and when they are angry, the pupils do not become needle points, but a kind of vertical pupil.

The former is the proof that they have been fighting against the storms in the ocean without fear of wind and rain all year round. Generally, northerners rarely go out in snowstorms, and the latter is the proof of the legend that they contain dragon souls in their bodies.

Of course, as Woody, who knew about the Dragon Roar Islands in his previous life, and also set foot on that land to find the dragon's relics, he understands the gold content in it better, because the job transfer there is his fantasy and cannot Yes, unlike other creatures with the blood of a dragon, the dragon descendants of the Dragon Roar Islands are more like humans who accidentally obtained the power of a dragon. They gain power by chanting spells composed of dragon language.

Breath includes and does not mean everything. Woody knows that there are no fewer than ten types of breath that the group of dragonborn can use.

Sleep breath, hot breath, magma breath, frost breath, arcane torrent, poisonous breath...

Basically, the breath of metal dragons and even color dragons are included, and there are many other rare plane dragons.

The reason why Woody set foot on that island is also because if he can find the short sentences left by the dragonborn and the dragon there, as long as he meets the conditions, he can master its abilities. Many players have gained a lot of good things from this. Specialties and talents, Woody's character at the time was also lucky to find a dragon curse that can increase the attack speed of weapons.

At that time, Woody, like many players, wanted to play a dragonborn character born in the Dragon Roar Islands.

It's just that in the game, no one can succeed.

Some people speculate that the prestige is not enough, and some people speculate that this is an unplayable item set by the game company. After all, Dragonborn also has a talent for killing creatures, which can extract suitable abilities from the soul with a certain chance.

Of course, these are just conjectures, and there are still many people working hard for it, and Woody's berserker at that time was also one of them.

However, shortly before the arrival of the Corrupt Mother Tree, the Dragon Roar Islands disappeared strangely from the map, and they could never be found again. Finish.

At that time, it was considered an unsolved mystery in the game.

Could Cecil's death be related to the dragon descendants of the Dragon Roar Islands?

After the broken information gradually increased, Woody clearly felt that the original Northland was wrapped in a big net before the arrival of the devil army, but he didn't know that this time it was in the spider web. Who exactly is playing chess.

Is it the divinity of the spider goddess Rose who was temporarily imprisoned by him?
Is it the two-headed baboon, or its deadly enemy, the other two demon princes, or the demon king who once disappeared?

Or is it the real master of the Nine Hells, who has led the demon army and fought bloody battles with demons for countless years, the Grand Duke Asmodeus who vainly wants to become a god in Bator Hell?
Woody's mind flashed one by one the powerful people who learned about the multiverse in the previous game, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't connect one of them with him.

Still too little information.

"What's the matter? You want to go with me?"

Seeing that Woody kept silent after hearing that she was about to go to sea, Cecil was a little curious, and the latter sentence was naturally purely teasing.

The Dragon Roar Islands may be a rare golden treasure land for businessmen, but for Woody...

Not bad.

Woody thought of some good dragon curses that could be easily obtained in the previous life, and he was a little moved.

But it was quickly rejected by him, because the timeline of this matter obviously conflicted with the search for the star whale.

But Cecil didn't know that if Woody was a businessman, she would feel sorry for him. After all, the opportunity to go to the Longhou Islands is very rare. Without the help of her teacher, it would be difficult for her to get close The sea archipelago intertwined with ice, snow and glaciers all year round.

At this time, Woody was thinking more about how to remind Cecil in a better way that going to sea is very dangerous.

As for giving up the opportunity to go to the Dragon Roar Islands, he has no regrets.

Because he knew that there was a broken ritual teleportation array in the north, as long as it was repaired, he could reach the Dragon Roar Islands directly without taking a boat for the price of a few gold coins.
