Shadow Covenant

Chapter 24 "Walking Side by Side"

"The negotiation was successful."

"You managed to convince a young monk to agree to temporarily ally with you."

"Negotiation +5, Intimidation +2, Speech +3."

Compared with professional skills, the above are basic skills, which can also be classified as background skills.

Looking at the swipe data and the warm feeling left in his right hand, Woody looked at Angelina who was only two steps away from him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Is this also possible?

Then does he have to go to chat with them if he has nothing to do?
However, he had also communicated with Veranduo and his aunt Susan before, so why was there no such message at that time?He remembered convincing Aunt Susan not to buy the Rutov family winery.

Could it be because the monk girl in front of her is a professional?

In "Holy One", when the skill points accumulate to a certain level, it will lead to a certain degree of transformation.

Just like the 5-point negotiation is completely different from the 50-point negotiation, the former can only comfort teammates after the battle and comfort people's hearts.

In the latter case, you know what to say to your advantage, and you will get more benefits in dealing with people with 50 points than with 5 points.

It is said that if the negotiation reaches [-] points, you can even easily persuade hostile intelligent creatures to stop attacking you, and with the help of neutral intelligent creatures, even if you are by your side, allies will never give up hope.

In the previous life, there were players who specially gave skill points to draw boundaries based on the performance differences of the aborigines.

像（0-10）是1级，（11-50）是2级、（51-100）是3级……以此类推。

At level 5 or above, your judgments and immunity values ​​in relevant aspects are basically pulled to the maximum, you can negotiate with people without any disadvantages, speeches can easily mobilize people's emotions, and few people can parry you in swordsmanship, alchemy is even more difficult can guarantee...

Soon, Woody followed Angelina and entered the poor area.

The roads in the slums suck.

The last time Woody came in a carriage, he didn't have much intuitive experience, but this time on foot, he deeply felt the unique charm of this neighborhood.

The stench in the air lingered, and the sewers were filled with a rotten smell all the year round. Woody even saw a severed hand, but it was already covered with maggots.

In the alley, the feces and urine of each family were poured on the ground everywhere, making Woody even think that this is not a public thoroughfare, but an open-air public toilet.

Angelina and Jia Luo were used to it, and they didn't respond.

Scenes like this abound with the number of low-rise huts and alleys on both sides, and drunks lying down on the side of the road can still be seen talking nonsense. It took all the money to come out.

Because of yesterday's sahuagin incident, there were already sounds of banging on wooden boards in many sheds on the street.

It seems to be completely sealing the windows and doors, and usually enters through the only small hole left for one person to drill into.

It seems that the sahuagin attack here has made the residents panic and panic.

They all knew that it was not Palermo's city guard soldiers who could protect them, nor were they gangs collecting protection fees.

but myself.Only myself.

When Woody passed a street, he found that the bridge at the other end of the street had been blocked by many people. Woody recognized that this road led to the east of Palermo, which was the last time he came here from Green Pine Lane that way.

Angelina also stopped in her tracks, but she didn't approach, she just watched.

In the ghetto, more people means chaos, and you never know what this group of people will do in the next moment.

Of course she can block it, but not necessarily the children around her.

The best way to avoid confusion is to stay away from him.

But after taking two steps, Angelina stopped because Woody didn't follow her.

She was a little strange, but just when she turned her head, she found that the face of the young man who was originally gentle was now as heavy as water, and she was extremely dignified.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, let's go, aren't we going to look for Lin?"

Hearing Angelina's call, Woody immediately returned to his original state.

"What happened just now? His face is so ugly."

"It seems to be sealed over there. It should be the matter of the sahuagin this time. Those arrogant and cowardly nobles seem to have abandoned this area. In order to make excuses, they even said that some poor people were infected."

Angelina, whose perception was much higher than that of Woody, already knew why the group of slum dwellers surrounded the bridge.

Because the guard is building fortifications to prevent anyone from crossing the bridge.

There was already a dispute over this matter just now, and several people were killed on the spot and thrown into the river. After hearing this, Angelina actually didn't listen anymore. It was too outrageous.

"It's really domineering."

Even Angelina, who has always had a bad feeling towards the residents of the slums, couldn't help scolding the city guard for his behavior.

But Woody didn't speak, because he was still digesting the message he just heard from the residents.

- "Someone has turned into a monster."

——"They said that Old Wood turned into a monster after being hit by a carriage. I laughed to death. Yesterday Old Wood greeted me. How could it be a monster?"

——"I heard that the entire Tulip block has been blocked."

Unlike Angelina and those slum residents who didn't believe it, he deeply understood what the monster they were talking about was referring to.

Because if he gave up struggling, then he would probably become like that in a few days.

Corrupted aberrations.

The wretches infected by the rotting mother tree are also his favorite sacrifices.

Now he can still feel the lump of flesh hanging from his neck, besides itching, it is red and swollen, making him want to pinch it.

You don't need to touch Woody to know that they have expanded a lot.

Woody had already imagined overlapping red cysts and yellow abscesses blooming one by one on the white-gray skin, like a bunch of grapes that had gone bad.

"However, it should not be the worst time yet."

"still have a chance."

Although the appearance of the monster in the inner city this time can show that the behind-the-scenes has a certain strength, and is not very afraid of the local church and forces.

But he also found a helper, a monk who could see through its loose weak spots.

At that time, some people relied on the combination of monks and rangers to clear out many mutated elite monsters around the corrupt mother tree. As long as they can attack the core, no matter how powerful the Xenomorph Cultist is, he can't change his nature as a creature of flesh and blood.

If you are killed, you will die as well!
But before that, he had to help Angelina find Lin back, otherwise, the covenant would be nothing more than empty talk.

He and Angelina didn't foolishly plan to search for them block by block. Although the slums are terrible, they account for one-third of the population of Palermo. Searching here is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Angelina plans to visit the famous underground black market in the slums this time. There is a witch who is very good at divination. Many nobles will ask her to help find lost jewels.

She hoped to hear good news from her this time.

But before that, Angelina sent Jia Luo, who reported the letter, back home.

Then the two walked towards the black market.

This time, the two walked side by side.
