Shadow Covenant

Chapter 26 "The Phantom of the Old Street"

Wait until Woody and Angelina come out of the fish shop east of the black market.

Angelina already had a bag full of gold coins in her hand. It is estimated that there are hundreds of gold coins in total. This is what Angelina got from that serious injury, and it was worth close to a hundred gold coins.

For such a huge sum of money, for many fishermen at the wharf, they cannot earn so much for half a year or even a year.

Only Angelina, who has amazing perception, can sense the movement of fish schools from shallow water and cast nets at fixed points.

And Woody came out holding a whitetip shark more than one meter long with a slender tail, which he just bought from the boss named Drewson.

Although the boss didn't confiscate his money in the end, he still thinks so.

After all, if he could feel at ease by not charging him, then it would be a fair deal.

Woody carried the whitetip shark to the huge lake next to the black market, and let it go.

He already knew that this was a saltwater lake, and the waterfall here was the intercepted water near the mouth of the sea, and the water in the fish shop was filled from here, so he didn't have to worry that the whitetip shark would not be able to survive here, even if It is fate's choice not to survive.

Anyway, he only bought it because he was worried that the fish shop owner would take revenge on the shark after he left.

All he could do was set the shark free.

However, after the whitetip shark returned to the water, he did not leave in a hurry, but kept wandering and swimming on the water surface, as if he wanted to invite him to go into the water together.

Woody shook his head and gave it an instruction to find food on its own. The whitetip shark could only reluctantly leave the shallow water and head deeper into the lake.

Watching the ripples caused by the white tip shark dissipate, Woody stood up, left the lake, and headed towards Angelina who was waiting for him by the street.

"Let's go! Where are we going next?" Woody said when he was four or five steps away from her.

"The hut by the lake, Madam Hong lives there. She is a spellcaster, and you can use her power to find Lin." The monk girl looked curiously at this strange, yet mysterious, strange creature to her. Juvenile, or young hunter.

He was the one who helped him just now, otherwise, if Drewson could give her half of the gold coins, it would be considered a strong friendship in the past.

"Thank you, I owe you a favor this time."

When the two were walking side by side in the market, Woody heard the girl whispering softly in his ear, and when he looked back, the girl's face was still calm, and the distance was half a person away, but the careful Woody still noticed The monk girl's red earlobes betrayed her mood.

"It's okay." Woody pretended not to see it, took a deep breath, and said calmly. "As said before, helping each other, it's a fair deal."

Hearing Woody's words, Angelina's hesitant heart immediately calmed down. Although every word he said was in line with her intentions, for some reason, there was a strong sense of loss lingering in her heart.

But that's fine, except for the transaction, people from different worlds are not in the first place.

Thinking of Woody's noble status and her broken hand, Angelina's heart also calmed down.

"Well, just let me know when the time comes."

Angelina's voice also returned to its usual calmness.

"Don't worry, soon!"

What he saw and heard in the slums today had already made Woody accumulate enough level 2 experience, so he let go of his hanging heart a little, and raised it again.

Even if he didn't meet Angelina, Woody reckoned that he would not return to the wine estate today, but chose to go to the Adventurer's Guild to see if there were any commissions to solve monsters in the city. Quick upgrade is the right way.

The increasing power and spreading methods of the profane cultists have already made Woody feel a strong sense of crisis.

If it goes on like this, it might really overturn.

In this way, the two had their own thoughts, led by Angelina, turned around, passed a market specializing in the sale of standard weapons and armor eliminated by the army, and a black street of stolen goods. After playing underground black boxing and the lively area of ​​​​the casino.

Woody and Angelina came to a black hut standing by the lake.

This is the black hut where Mrs. Red lived. Before entering, Woody felt that the sound from the market and the light from the fire had dimmed a lot.

This familiar taste.

As a senior player in "Saint", Woody subconsciously passed the name of a god in his mind.

Shar, Lady of the Night.

Only her believers love the darkness, and the shrine field is resident with "obscurity", which affects the surrounding light and sound.

The quietest night is the lady's favorite environment.

As well as those creatures and occupations in the shadows.

In the last life, many rogue players and shadow mage players would choose Shar as the first choice of faith. After all, after each profession advanced to the second level, each god would give a gift to believers who believed in him, and the one given by Lady Evernight It is a constant blessing.

"Gaze of the Lady of the Night": You have received the attention of the Lady of the Night. From now on, the night will become your veil, and the shadow will become a part of your body. In the night and shadow, your perception will be improved, and you will be able to dodge , stealth, reconnaissance, and action will get an extra 5 points of dark night bonus. In the environment shrouded in darkness, all your attributes will be temporarily +1, and the casting level will be +1 temporarily, and you will get the shadow camouflage feature.

"Shadows were born to hunt light! Ah, I smell death! - Thurman the thorn in the night"

Shadow camouflage, that is, as long as you don't move, you can get the effect of invisibility after ten seconds.

These effects, for some pros, can be overwhelming in the shadows.

Angelina naturally also felt something strange, knowing that she had entered the territory of Mrs. Hong, so she said loudly without hesitation.

"Dear Madam Hong, I'm Angelina, and I'm here to ask for your help."

After a long time in the black wooden house, a hoarse old female voice came from inside.

"Oh, Fist Girl from the ghetto, what are you doing here?"

"My younger sister Lin is missing. I implore Madam Hong to help you find her. I want to know if she is still in the slums. If not, please tell me where she was last seen."

Angelina raised the open bag of gold coins in her arms over her head and begged.

"This is my small thank you to the lady."

"Lin? Is that the kid who came here with you last time?"

asked the old hoarse female voice.

"That's right, the little girl you helped get rid of her disease last time."

Angelina replied immediately with a very excited expression.

"Okay, your thank you lady has received, I will help you to see if your sister is still in the slums now."

An invisible hand took the money bag from Angelina's hand.

——Zero ring spell "Mage Hand"

Within a range of 20 meters, any object under five catties can be moved.

The hand of the mage is very useful to the mage, and even in battle, it can perform miraculous spells.

The most brilliant thing is the technique used by a famous spell caster to directly kill a legendary mage like himself with the hands of a mage.

The moment before the spell was cast, the spellcaster used the hand of the mage to lift up the robe of the legendary mage, covering the mage's upper body at once.

Thus, a powerful legendary mage died under the spell in his hands.

……

Not long after, Woody and Angelina left the black market.

They never saw the appearance of the so-called Mrs. Hong, but they obtained crucial information from her.

That is, the little girl Lin was not taken away by the sahuagin, she was still in the slums.

However, the location is a place that cannot be mentioned in the slums.

old street.

Abandoned neighborhood.

Woody also learned from Angelina why the block was abandoned.

Because no one dares to approach.

All humans who dare to approach will hear disturbing whispers in the old street from time to time, or see flashing shadows on the edge of the block.

In addition to these, I will have horrible dreams every night until I leave this desolate and abandoned old street...

But Woody's expression became weirder the more he heard it, because according to Angelina's description.

Then follow the knowledge of the previous life.

The neighborhood looked like some kind of monster's lair territory.

The lair of the "weak monster".
