Shadow Covenant

Chapter 43 "Traveler's Shop"

Woody wouldn't pin his hopes of victory on an unseen metal dragon.

And generally speaking, metallic dragons don't want to meddle in human affairs.

They prefer to be an outside observer rather than a hands-on.

This is also the reason why many metal dragons like to set up dragon nests around the city, or build their nests directly in the city.

And Woody, who has dealt with metal dragons before, knows how outrageous the brain circuits of these guys are.

Always self-centered, arrogant and arrogant, watching any human beings talk with an attitude of pity and grace, which is more annoying than the color dragon to some extent.

Even when listening to human narration, metal dragons will regard this behavior as a great gift to human beings.

Moreover, the guy who tries to use moral kidnapping, such as you can watch the city be destroyed without doing anything to try to arouse the sense of responsibility of the metal dragon, will be considered by the metal dragon as insulting himself, and there is a lot of possibility of causing The fierce reaction of the metal dragon.

Woody wouldn't even want to be associated with these guys if he could, they're like big kids.

Whereas a red dragon might see a human kingdom as a fixed natural hunting ground, a gold dragon sees the kingdom as some kind of oversized toy that can be arranged to its liking.

There is no difference, except that the metal dragon's desire to dominate lower creatures far exceeds the instinct of looting or destruction in its bones.

It is almost impossible to have an equal dialogue.

Unless your strength can impress the giant dragon, otherwise, no matter how much you say, you will only get an indifferent response from the owner of the vertical pupils.

Of course, that's not to say that a metal dragon won't do justice, but it won't do justice because someone asks for it.

They are more inclined to act according to their own ideas, rather than being dictated by lower creatures. Even if they are tipped off, this will also cast a layer of humiliation on their hearts.

If you want to ask the metal dragon to take action, you must understand the character of the metal dragon.

Generally, the first step is to find the key that connects the request to the metallic dragon's desire.

Then, on this basis, explain how the metal dragon will benefit and be rewarded after completing this goal.

In this way, it is slightly possible to impress these self-esteemed giant dragon races.

"Just pretend it never happened anyway."

Woody suppressed his slightly fluctuating thoughts, quickly passed this episode from his mind, and began to implement his plan intensively.

First of all, let's go to the trade road again. He needs some monster materials, and he doesn't know if the market is closed.

……

The night is getting darker.

Woody, who had just come out of the dock area, was walking alone in the alleys of the Palermo trade area, and there was extremely lively hustle and bustle from both ends of the alleys.

The Harvest Festival is coming soon, and many residents have already started to go out at night to buy items needed for the festival.

The steel long sword and other weapons on his body have been stored in the dimensional ring by him, and he only wears a worn-out black hunting suit that has not been cleaned up in the future.

Drop your weapon.

This is the basic etiquette for entering a secret shop.

Especially when your strength is low, you must abide by it, otherwise, when you enter the store, you don't know whether you will meet the cold face of the store owner who is about to make a fortune, or the magic missile that roars.

What Woody is going to on this trip is the largest of the three arcane stores, the "Traveler's Store."

It is also a secret shop that Woody is very familiar with, and it has its strongholds in many cities in the Northland.

It is said that behind this store is the largest mage association in Asenland, the mage organization "Thousand Towers Club" with at least five legendary mages.

It's a pity that not long after the dark year came, the Thousand Towers Society fell into a period of chaos following the disappearance of several legendary mages and tower owners.

Many people thought they were dead, but Woody, who had experienced it, knew.

Those legendary mages did not die, but after the crisis came, taking advantage of the arrival of the ancient evil "Rotten Mother Tree" and its corrupt aura before it had completely spread to the crystal wall of the entire plane, they resolutely left this area. land of strife.

If not, in the end Thousand Towers will still have a legendary mage who chooses to resist natural disasters, then it is estimated that this largest mage organization that spans two continents will disappear in an instant.

And about why there are so many arcane shops in Palermo.

It is because most of the nobles in Palermo prefer to send their family's heirs to the mage academy or the mage tower of a distinguished mage to practice spells.

Every year, these shops will occasionally take part in the work of the admissions office.

The location of the arcane store is in the corner of the trade area.

After all, most spellcasters don't like to be lively, and try to avoid communicating with ordinary people, so they set up the shop in a very remote and quiet location.

When Woody was adventuring in the Northland, he even saw many spellcasters choose to open the store in the long-abandoned sewer.

Every time Woody went, he had to turn around the maze-like sewer for a while before he could find the entrance to get in or out.

At that time, many new players who were not familiar with the road conditions were dizzy, which directly played the role of dissuading them.

Woody was brought in by the local aborigines during the mission. After the mission was over and walked five or six times, he barely remembered the map of the sewer.

It really makes him miss...

When the thoughts in Woody's mind continued to diverge, he was already standing in front of the wooden door of a single-family stone house that looked very ordinary.

Before he could push it open, a naive and anthropomorphic square face appeared on the wooden door.

Woody was not frightened by it, but consciously took out a gold coin and sent it to the mouth of this human face.

There was only an afterimage, and the gold coin in his hand had disappeared.

And that naive square face shouted happily.

"Little Tver, there are guests!"

It is not surprising that Woody can talk to the door, because this is the infrastructure of all traveler stores.

"Activation Secret Door" created by "Activation Item" and "Magic Persistence"

These two spells can not only endow an inanimate object with the ability to continue to move, not only have some characteristics of life, but also act as a guard.

So don't look at it can only talk now, if it really wants to fight, most of the professionals in this city will not be its opponents one-on-one.

And the one gold coin just now is the ticket to enter the secret shop.

After all, the time of the mage is very precious. If you delay for a long time, you will even be driven away by the caster and put on the list of unwelcome customers.

After the activated secret door opened a hole big enough to swallow a man's mouth.

Woody walked in without changing his expression.

　In autism, I was late again. As a punishment, there were two more shifts in the evening.
