Shadow Covenant

Chapter 22 "Monks Outside the City"

Even though the morning sun had already shone on the sea, in Angelina's heart, the world was still gray and bleak.

Wearing only a linen skirt, she was sitting with her legs folded on an uninhabited sandy beach, watching the ebb and flow of the tide in front of her. The double shadow of the boat could be vaguely seen in the distance on the sea, and she was speechless.

The only sound in the air is the splash of the waves and the chirping of the early seagulls.

"This is the first time this week."

Angelina felt like she was falling into an abyss at this moment.

"Fourth or fifth time?"

The pretty cold sea breeze blows the wine-red hair on her forehead. Although her body has successfully produced the air flow in her body after years of exercise and the master's teaching, with the help of the air flow, she has long been defiant of the severe cold , but her heart is still heavy and cold at the moment.

Why is this happening?

She really wanted to ask, but there was no one around her to confide in.

The mysterious master left long after the air flow in her body was generated.

And Jia Luo, Florie and the others are too young, and Lin and Sissy are girls, so if they knew about it, they would definitely not know what stupid things they did.

Just like last time, Lin secretly went to Green Pine Lane to sell herbal medicines, is there a place she can go!Although he didn't tell the real name of the nobleman, it was still very dangerous. If he was really...

Angelina, or the girl called Brina in front of Woody, didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The thoughts in her mind are like reefs on the beach, being beaten by waves one after another, and they are almost in a mess.

Ever since I was injured, I have had strange dreams every night.

Then when I woke up, I found that I was not on the bed in the house, but woke up on a random piece of ground outside the strange phenomenon.

In the end, she found that the longing for the sea was constantly growing in her heart, and this feeling was almost driving her crazy these days, but she couldn't mention it to anyone.

And the first time she woke up, she was still in the alley 100 meters away from the house, and then it became farther and farther away, until now it is only a few hundred meters away from the sea.

When she woke up in the alley, she was awakened by a start. The help of "Qi" in her body made her extremely sensitive to the ten meters around her. Someone wanted to sneak up on her, but she was knocked to the ground with bare hands and one hand when she opened her eyes.

Although she wanted to do this a long time ago, since the attack at sea, there have been many people who want to see her jokes, but the hardest days have passed, and her body is recovering rapidly, even if she only has one Hands, it doesn't affect the group of guys making a joke, but after beating people that day, seeing the blood on the corners of their mouths, she actually had the urge to bite...

"Gods! Is there a demon living in my body?"

The mutation in her body had made Angelina's mind unstoppable, one thought after another, and she was already doubting herself at this moment.

Although the master has taught her countless times, she must be calm and reckless when encountering problems, and only use violence to express her heart when things cannot be done.

But this was the first time Angelina found herself so powerless. Even if her wrist was bitten off before, she had never been so desperate.

After all, she is just a girl who has just turned 17 years old. Although under the guidance of her "Ao" master who claims to be an oriental wanderer, her vision and pattern are much better than ordinary people, even professionals. of.

But when encountering such a supernatural event, some thoughts and fears that she shouldn't have were born in her heart.

In the face of supernatural forces, she has dealt with dock sailors and mercenaries the most since she was a child, and she feels back to the feeling of drifting in the sea alone in a broken wooden basin when she was a child.

Isolated and helpless.

But just when Angelina fell into helplessness, she felt someone approaching and heard footsteps, and the footsteps came from her left hand. Angelina grew up on the beach in Palermo. Naturally, Na knew that the end there was a dead end cliff, and there was no suitable port on this coastline, and there were no ships docking there...

So, she raised her head curiously, and saw a man in a hunting suit coming from the beach path. He had long black hair, two steel long swords on his back, and a chandelier in his hand. There was a bag of unknown items, but judging from the fishy smell from the sea breeze, it should be some kind of fish parts.

And relying on the super long-sightedness bestowed on her by "Qi", Angelina found that his face was extremely young, with eyes like poisonous snakes that were very different from ordinary people, and he looked very unfriendly.

Most importantly, she seemed to know this person.

The noble boy that Lin brought to buy herbs!

Although he changed into an adventurer's attire and his face became thinner, the seemingly gentle but lonely temperament exuded from his body was exactly the same as the one he saw in the alley that day - this is Angelet Another wonderful use of Na on the "Qi" in the body.

It's just that his current clothes look more like hers from the same world. The black hunting jacket and breeches made of simple leather are no longer the well-dressed, straight aristocratic dress and white shirt.

For a moment, the two images of this young man swirled in Angelina's mind. It seemed that he was shrouded in a veil of mystery, which made people want to find out.

But she didn't go up to say hello hastily, but turned her head in time before the boy's staring gaze.

Having grown up in the ghetto, she knows that there is no benefit in knowing too much.

And it was her neutral attitude of being isolated from the world, never talking too much or standing aside, that allowed her to remain safe and sound among the gangs even if her force was not too high in the black street.

……

When the eyes of Brina, a girl with long wine-red hair and whom she had met once, cast her eyes immediately, Woody noticed it. He subconsciously wanted to stop, but felt that even if Verando was here with his appearance, He may not be able to recognize it, not to mention that his pupils have changed, and he is far away, so he shouldn't be able to recognize him.

Therefore, Woody's pace remained the same, but he chose the path that could bypass Brina's position the farthest.

Why is she at the beach, Woody is not interested in asking questions.

He just wants to go home and rest.

Even though the demon hunter didn't sleep all day and all night, it wouldn't affect his combat power, but he still felt more tired after fishing all night on the coast.

He needs to adjust his mentality.

After all, I was busy until midnight, and except for the first two dials that went smoothly, it was really torturous not to have a sahuagin in the remaining hours.

However, compared to the 967 experience points on the panel at that time, the latter was more tormented than the former—this was also the reason for supporting him until dawn.

Fortunately, before dawn, the last bit of shark blood attracted two lone sahuagin, which pushed Woody's accumulated experience points past the 1000-point mark.

Originally, he wanted to go back the same way after gathering enough experience, but suddenly remembered that there were still some things he hadn’t bought, and it happened that he was not far from the pier into the city, so he thought that he could do it in one step, and he could also clean up the materials on his hands.

Only then did they follow this long and desolate coastline, all the way to the dock area in the northwest direction.

Anyway, he still carries the imprint of the Edith family on him, so it will be no problem to enter the city. Even if he will be interrogated when he returns to the manor, Woody has prepared a plan in his heart to deal with it.

But before leaving, Woody took one last look at the position of the girl named Brina. The girl still turned her back to him, and she couldn't see the front, only the back.

Her sitting posture is very tall and straight, and her entire back looks toned and well-proportioned. Although her waist is slender and can only be grasped, but with her slightly broad shoulders and wheat-colored skin, she looks full of strength.

How the hell did I associate power with her.

Woody shook his head secretly.

However, Brina was indeed the girl with the best figure and the healthiest figure he had ever seen. Unlike Veranduo's soft and lovely, she was more appropriately described as heroic and valiant.

pity……

He saw the girl's empty sleeves and felt a little regretful.

Although if the arm is broken, it is not impossible to restore it, but the magic that can regenerate the limb is definitely not something a girl born in a poor area can afford.

——The four-ring divine art "Recovery Art".

At the very least, they are second-tier professionals, natives of the 8th-level priest template, and this kind of person has generally become the bishop of a small city.

As for the price, it is not a problem to empty out the liquidity of a small nobleman.

For the poor, even the potion for treating minor injuries that costs [-] gold coins at a time is unaffordable, let alone the four-ring magic that is calculated in units of thousands.

This is why most players choose to start over after dying once, instead of trying to resurrect, the price issue is the main factor.

Suffering is a common thing in life, but perhaps I love this girl more.

Because, just when Woody was about to leave here, he heard the cry of the child, and the girl behind him immediately set off to the direction of the sound after hearing the cry.

Obviously, it was calling her.

However, Woody, who had a perception of 16 points, heard clearly that the child was not calling Brina.

It's "Sister Angelina!"

This should be the voice of the child hiding behind the wall that day.

However, Woody found a more serious thing, that is, he could hear the child's voice very clearly with his 16-point perception.

And what is this girl relying on?
You know, her location is a full five or sixty meters away from him.

But when the girl flew past him, she felt the mysterious aura emanating from Angelina, who was only left behind.

It was only then that Woody got to know this fit girl.

It turned out to be a monk.

But this is not his fault, the monks are not recognizable except through specific attire, such as the simple and simple monastery clothes, or the old white clothes.

There is even an advanced Mountain Fist of a monk, like an ascetic, who doesn't even wear any weapons or armor, and can rival a dragon in his prime with his physical strength alone.

Woody remembered that someone used to describe the monk as a profession.

After all, the characteristic of monks is that they don't have any special features. They wear simple clothes and are inconspicuous among the people. Only when they really do it, others will be surprised to find that he is a professional.

Just like the girl with long wine red hair today.

It's hard to associate her with those ascetic monks unless you see her actually move or act.

However, Woody remembered that there were no monk monasteries in the south, only the bitter cold land in the north, and the oasis of the death desert east of the southern continent, where there were shadows of their activities.

Does it seem to be taught by wandering monks?
In Woody's mind, the names of several monks who were once more famous in the south of Asenland came to mind.

If it is an ascetic monk, then it makes sense, after all, only they will choose to leave the monastery and go to various parts of the mainland.

Most monks still like to stay around the monastery and occasionally drive out evil.

In the life-and-death battle in the dark year, it was a seemingly inconspicuous old man who blocked most of the attacks of the Corrupt Mother Tree in the later stage, buying a lot of time for the players to break through the plane channel blocked by him.

He was a legendary monk active in the Northland before, and you won't see him in the city at all.

Only when you go to the boundless ice fields, or the rugged and steep ridges, can you see him pacing this land like a pilgrim.

At that time, many monks and even other professional players wanted to meet him, because he would give anyone who met him a random trial.

If you succeed in the trial, you can get an extraordinary feat.

What Woody remembers most is a specialty posted by someone in the forum.

——"Six Senses Clarity" (Extraordinary): After specific training, monks have extremely keen six senses, which permanently increases their perception value by 2 points (up to 25 points). When you are blind, deaf or sleeping It will not affect your perception of the surroundings, and any invisible creatures, phantoms, and illusions in front of you need an additional 35 points of judgment to be successfully cast.

"The eyes are deceiving your vision, the nose is deceiving your sense of smell... Your five senses are deceived, but your heart will not deceive you. Falsehood is always falsehood. Be careful, the false cannot come true! - Huipao Wu The monk said to his disciples that when he closed his eyes and moved his hands and feet, the illusion disappeared."

This is a coveted feat for many monks or other spellcasting classes that rely on Wisdom.

However, the conditions for obtaining it are also very harsh. Not only do you need to defeat opponents of the same level as yourself in a state of weak five senses, but you also need the player to maintain a state of weak five senses for a long time, during which time you have to survive in the wild alone for at least two weeks.

Seeing this specialty at the time, Woody still admired the perseverance of the person who obtained this specialty. After all, if it were him, he might not be able to survive the trial safely.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be in some trouble, Woody, who was aroused by her profession, naturally hurried to follow.

After all, she was going in the same direction as her, and if she didn't want to continue following, it was okay for him to leave halfway.

Along the way, Woody easily heard the brief communication between the monk girl and the child with 16 points of perception.

He also understood why this kid named Jia Luo found Angelina.

Because the little girl Noah who sold him herbs last time was also called Lin.

she is gone!

The reason was that the slum area suffered a sudden attack from sea creatures last night. A group of sahuagin dived into the southern area through the canal gateway, killed and took away many humans after landing.

The place where the little girl Lin and the others lived was also found by the sahuagin.

It was precisely because of protecting her younger siblings that she led the sahuagin away by herself, and she has not returned until now.

The boy's sobbing explanation and the girl's comfort were carried by the wind to Woody's ears.

The little blond girl he saw in Green Pine Lane a few days ago flashed through his mind, she was thin and small, but her eyes were bright and focused.

She looked brave on the outside but was timid on the inside. After getting into his carriage, he glanced left and right. He knew she was looking for an escape route, like a hamster just moved to a new cage. It was normal and understandable to be wary.

It wasn't until Woody took the initiative to talk about her sister that the little girl let go of her vigilance a little bit, revealing her unique innocence and delicacy.

And she looks good when she smiles, with two small dimples.

This is a girl who is all about her family...

Woody felt a little stuck in his heart.

In the end, he decided to follow the past to have a look.
