Shadow Covenant

Chapter 2 "Young Muai"

Facing the cysts and sores on the back of the neck that are tender and tender, it seems that they can squeeze out water with a light pinch.

Woody is also in a complicated mood right now.

Still, he poked with his finger.

It's soft, like cotton candy, and the back of the neck doesn't hurt at all.

Instead, the itching intensified, as if it was urging you to scratch.

Woody put down his fingers resolutely, ignoring the call from the back of his neck.

His swept long hair was also naturally draped over his shoulders again.

Just like that, the noble boy with a baby face sat cross-legged on the soft velvet quilt, leaned against the head of the bed, and began to think.

First of all, the dream of being the chosen one can say goodbye.

It's not that his perception is high, but that he has become a parasite of the spores of the "corrupt mother tree".

If he scratched the pustule just now, the pus and blood would splash on his other skin.

The pustules will spread like spores until they finally become the perfect image that the followers of the "Mother Tree of Corruption" "Profane Cultists" like most.

Thinking of this, Woody shivered, he would never die like that.

Fortunately, this is only the early stage. Apart from having pustules that hinder the appearance, the side effects of the spores on him are not serious.

Just don't get hurt.

Because if it is injured, the wound cannot heal at all, and the cyst and abscess will quickly occupy there, thus becoming a piece of skin moss that is difficult to remove.

So the question is, when did I get infected?

He remembered that it was still 1191, and the Mother Tree of Corruption was still wandering around in the form of a huge fiery comet on the outskirts of the Asenlant plane.

Except those planar scholars who study the Astral Plane may know about the return of the Corrupted Mother Tree.

I am afraid that ordinary people in the world will not be able to arouse the slightest interest.

After all, the time interval between his appearances is too long, and he only appears once in nearly 2000 years.

Even if appalling tragedies are caused, countless mortal races in a world and all life in the world will be wiped out and corrupted.

But it will also be forgotten in the dustbin of history.

And every time the corrupt mother tree chooses a landing plane, the location is random.

Even the prophecy of the gods is difficult to capture his movements.

By the way, the group of "Profanity Cultists" - Woody thought of it.

In addition to the corrupt mother tree, there is another creature in the universe that will tirelessly spread its "perfect glory" - that is, a group of intelligent creatures that follow the "corrupt mother tree", mostly humans.

This group of "shape worshipers" believes that the forms of the gods are hypocritical.

The correct appearance of flesh and blood should be similar to the corrupt mother tree, the final form of all life, and the greatest work of art.

Therefore, they will spare no effort to spread the glory of the corrupt mother tree to all worlds.

Let all things be infected, and finally become a creature like him.

In order to attract the eyes of the corrupt mother tree wandering in the astral world.

In this way, they also did the former master's coma, just to injure him and stimulate the infection spores in his body.

Woody searched for the memories belonging to this body, and did not pull any recent memories.

Then I knew that not long ago, when the former master was leaving school, he walked home because he failed to catch the last carriage.

But he was attacked while passing through the alley of Heihua Street.

The man not only knocked him out, but also robbed him of his belongings.

At first glance, it is just an ordinary robbery, but for Woody, who occasionally plays a "bandit" in the game.

He saw the flaw at first glance.

First of all, the Black Flower neighborhood is a street leading to the outside of the city in the relatively affluent aristocratic district of Palermo.

Not to mention seven or eight o'clock when school is over, even at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, there are city guards patrolling regularly.

Secondly, robbing nobles is a felony. Not only is the whole city wanted, but if caught, they will be hanged directly the next day.

If the circumstances are particularly bad, they will ask the priests of the temple to help-thus, the aborigines who have normal brains, and those with higher intelligence than Bailong also know that the benefits and risks are not comparable.

At that time, because of the degree of freedom of "Saint", many novice players' first blood was explained on it.

Woody also learned in the forum that nobles among this group of aborigines are not easy to mess with.

On the contrary, it is much easier for Assen Lantry to travel among the merchants of various city-states.

It's rich, and it won't get into big trouble easily. It's a moving treasure.

The weak businessman immediately became a "best seller" in the minds of players at that time.

So much so that when almost every businessman in Asenland went out, the team had to spend a sum of money to hire a group of players who claimed to be "Holy Adventists" to go out as bodyguards, so as to reduce the risk of being robbed.

"Then it seems that an acquaintance committed the crime, so there are very few suspects."

Because of being fostered at his aunt's house, Woody usually doesn't talk much whether in the manor or at school.

He is very withdrawn, few people can get close to him, and if he is slightly ruled out, the answer is obvious.

After searching Woody's memory, he came to this conclusion with little effort.

After all, the black hand manipulating this conspiracy is still very immature, and many things have not been dealt with cleanly, plus the time when the infection appeared, and the strangeness of the people around him recently.

A name and a meeting not long ago came to Woody's mind naturally.

It seemed that day, also an evening, appeared in front of his eyes.

sunset.

Woody, who was about to leave in a stagecoach after school, heard a soft voice calling.

Turning her head, she saw a majestic school gate, an aristocratic girl in a pink court dress holding a small ocean umbrella, with a smile on her face.

It was she who stopped Woody.

Because she was practicing tea art at home recently, her father just brought back a piece of tea cake from the New World. She broke a piece and brought it to school and asked him if he would like to try her handicraft.

The voice is crisp and the face is sincere.

He also asked him to pay attention to the temperature when pouring tea, and taught him the etiquette of drinking tea. He must drink slowly.

Looking at her in memory, she was gentle, considerate and patient at that time.

Therefore, although the taste was not good, he drank it and praised the tea cake for its idyllic taste.

He had a high fever when he went back that day, but he still didn't suspect her, and only told his aunt that he had caught a cold.

She was Grantia Farkes Pike, a pretty baron's daughter.

Not only is the former master's classmate in the academy, but also the former master's favorite object.

In my memory, the former master also spent a lot of money given to him by his aunt Susan to win Grandia's heart.

But Grandia knew that Woody was not valued by the family and had no title of Viscount.

Therefore, he has always implemented "pull" tactics against the former owner, whenever Woody wants to confess his love.

When Grandia feels the love is strong, she will take the initiative to chat with Woody alone, and then say classic quotes with a sad face.

"My parents forced me to get acquainted with those noble sons again, but I don't like them at all, and I don't want to settle myself so early."

"My dream is to become a woman like Aisha Biya, to be a writer, to be unrestrained, to travel around the continent with the one I love, and to draw the most moving words in the world with a quill."

"If possible, I would rather not have this noble status, and just want to be a commoner."

"Woody, you know me, don't you?"

"You are so kind, you are the only one who understands me best in the world, only you!"

"I don't know, if there is a chance to go with you then."

Grantia's smooth blond hair was particularly shiny against the mottled light and shadow that fell through the botanical garden.

Above the magnificent long skirt, the delicate lips spoke.

The most moving hint in the world.

In this way, the former master was deeply trapped in the spider web called "Future" woven by Grandia.

And when I heard that Grandia was going to attend the dinner dance of Earl XX, Viscount XX.

He also doesn't feel the slightest betrayal, but pity her even more, and treat her twice as well.

And every time the former owner wanted to give up the pursuit, Grandia would give him a little sweetness.

Such as delivering breakfast, or pretending to touch Woody's finger inadvertently, and then look shy, making the former owner feel that he still has a chance.

In this way, in this way, in this way, Woody has become the number one licking dog among Grantia's suitors.

"It's really poor Woody, played by her in the applause."

Recalling the memory of the former master, Woody could smell the tea fragrance overflowing from Grandia's body through the void.

In this regard, he can only say a word.

"Licking a dog is not a house!"

Although what Grandia attracts Woody is the mature temperament exuded from her body and the missing maternal love.

There is also the impulsiveness of young Muai, and I also understand that it is difficult to let go of the "sunk cost" after paying too much.

But in order to pursue a girl, I have given up all dignity and bottom line.

Woody still felt he deserved it.

True love should be mutual attraction and mutual respect, not a rushing syrup of chasing each other.

Of course, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and it is useless to say more, he has already paid a heavy price.

Money, time, and... soul.

What Woody wants to think about now is how to solve the dilemma caused by his current body.

Although he started as a nobleman, he is now likely to be targeted by a group of cultists.

The seed has been planted, and he is bound to "hatch".

If escaping would only lead to passiveness, he didn't want to play a game of cat and mouse.

Therefore, what he can use now is that he is in the dark and those people are in the light.

Heh, since you like being a hunter, you must be prepared to be a prey.

A sinister expression flashed across the youth's handsome face, but for some reason, the doll-faced expression froze immediately.

Eyebrows are not eyebrows, eyes are not eyes.

Very odd.

But at this moment, Woody couldn't care too much, because he saw a slow green "+1" symbol slowly passing across the upper left corner of his field of vision.

This is……

"Character panel!"

There was no time left, and Woody, who was shocked, immediately recited in his heart.

A torrent bloomed from the boy's eyes.

　It is updated every morning at 7 o'clock in the morning. For the sake of recommendation, the new issue can only stabilize 4K, and those that have been updated have to be put on the shelves.
