Shadow Covenant

Chapter 45 "Tracking"

— "The Tenacity of a Bear."

— "The elegance of a cat."

——"Magic weapon."

——"Lani Laughter Technique"

These are the four spell scrolls selected by Woody, specially prepared for tonight's battle.

Although he was a bit of a loser, he couldn't be too careful about the curse on the back of his neck and his chest.

Among them, Lani's Laughing Technique is the legendary character "Lani Carolina Fischer" from the Thousand Towers Society who still did not give up Asenland in the end.

Occupation template Level 10 Mage/10 Witch/6 Wizard Queen, a powerful spellcaster with a total level of 26, the spell she created when she was young.

"By the way, do you have an alchemy room here?"

Putting the scroll and magic materials into the ring one by one, Woody looked at the apprentice mage.

Now that the scroll has been purchased, the next plan is potions.

His current ring also contained monster material from trade zones, a vial of unprocessed troll blood, and a feline eyeball.

Coupled with the magic materials he just bought, it is enough for him to configure two bottles of classic potions that have a good reputation among the demon hunters.

……

"Of course, Your Excellency, how long do you want to rent for 3 gold coins an hour."

"Two hours, take me there now, and prepare a night crow for me when I come out later, I will be useful."

"Do you want to buy it? Your Excellency?"

"No, rent."

"Also, I need to..."

Woody, who intends to maximize the gold coins, naturally cannot buy one, leasing is the most economical.

He tossed out the purse that he had just acquired and did not have much left, and handed over all the preparations that should be made to the mage apprentice in front of him.

After getting a response.

His figure quickly disappeared in the depths of the door of the secret shop under the guidance of the mage apprentice.

……

two hours later.

In the trade area, in an unremarkable alley.

Woody walked slowly in the moonlight, if someone was directly opposite him and could see the eyes of the boy under the ribbon.

It can be found that Woody's eyes are moving in a strange posture.

One eye is sharp and bright, while the other is like a dusty stone ball, dull and cloudy, out of focus.

And on the palm of his left hand, a rune imprint was flickering in the palm of his hand.

And under the dark blue night sky five hundred feet above his head, a night crow with very bright feathers is flying wantonly against the wind on the sea at this moment. lights.

- "The Eye of Crows"

He can use the bird's vision to overlook the city, and the crow's vision is better than he imagined, and he can clearly see the appearance of a human face hundreds of meters away.

And it can accurately identify the faces in his mind, and quickly analyze the faces that best match what he thinks in his mind.

Search is very efficient.

It can only be said that it is indeed a candidate crow specially used as a mage's magic pet.

This also allowed him to use the last few gold coins to rent this night crow instead of catching one himself, and he felt that it was worth it from the bottom of his heart.

The Night Crow flies very fast, and Woody's destination is the most prosperous trade area, and it is also an area with the most opera halls and noble houses.

Carriages engraved with the emblems of various families can be seen everywhere on the street. Woody even saw a carriage with the emblems of the Edith family in it, but he didn't know if it was a member he knew.

Having said that, Woody suddenly found that he never thought that this trip could last a day and a night.

So if they find themselves missing, I'm afraid their aunt will be very worried.

But no matter what, he can't give up the action plan, and Woody can only hope that they don't find out, so that he can sneak back quietly after tonight's end, and it's best not to disturb anyone of.

Night Crow soon landed on the standard position, a towering bell tower with the top protruding from the eaves.

Here, Woody can see all the carriages and pedestrians at the intersection below through the night crow, which is the only way to the noble district and to leave this bustling street.

As long as Grandia doesn't stay overnight in the mansion, she will definitely pass by here after the communication is over.

The effect of "Eye of Crows" still has a period of time, which is enough time for it to search for the carriage engraved with the Grandia family emblem.

And Woody also intends to search with the crow.

He remembered the appearance of his coachman. He was a middle-aged man with narrow eyes and thin cheeks. Every time he saw him, he would show a very flattering smile. The reason was that Woody would tip him generously every time, at least three silver coins. .

Grandia called him like old Dicko.

When Woody walks to Tulip Street, this trade area is the largest and most prosperous, with manor houses, song and dance theaters, taverns and hotels all inclusive, and it is a prosperous place traversed by four long streets from south to north and from east to west At that time, the most lively moment has come.

Actors and singers came from the theater, with loud singing voices and passionate lines, the noise of the tavern, the sound of the carriage wheels blowing gently on the stone floor, and the intricate mix of animal and human voices.

In Woody's ears formed a grand ensemble opening ceremony.

In the past, his predecessor rarely came here, and the only few times he came here because of Grandia in the early stage, and it was those few times that made Woody feel disheartened. He watched Grandia and others doing it with his own eyes All sorts of intimate gestures.

Those pictures are now vivid in Woody's mind, but at the moment there is no wave in his heart.

Instead, he began to seriously study the ballroom dances of which mansions Grandia usually appeared in in his memory.

And while Woody was controlling the crow, he went to search around the mansion himself, and it didn't take long before he found the carriage of the Grandia family and the Pike family.

However, the carriage driver, Old Dicko, has disappeared. It is estimated that he went to play in a nearby block. Apart from drinking, there are many places where grown men can have fun.

Woody looked around, found a suitable hiding place, and started to let the night crows fly to the slums.

As a monk with excellent perception, Angelina played a vital role in his plan.

In this battle, her arrival can relieve his pressure to a certain extent.

After all, that profane cultist, according to the number of people who died of the curse recently that Woody heard from the mage apprentice in the secret shop, if nothing else, has now successfully transformed into a perfect form.

In Woody's memory, the data panel of the shapebreaker who has reached this stage will be very scary.

"The Defiler "Distortion" (Tier [-])"

"Challenge level 6, personal level 12, possesses some magical spellcasting ability."

"The highest attribute is 21 points, the lowest attribute is 12 points, and the total attribute value is 95-105 points"

"Special specialties: evil damage, worshiper of the ancients, deformed appearance."

The real challenge level is 6, the personal level exceeds 12, and it is a terrifying monster that can release evil magic spells above five rings.

Moreover, this time, there is no special underwater environment to help him, and its danger level is much higher than that of the giant earth monster.

But Woody had to face it. Even though he could report the cultists, he couldn't put his wealth and life on other people.

If it is reported, then it is not ruled out that the last blasphemer will make a crazy move of detonating all the carriers planted with the curse of filth, and it is also possible to transfer the control of these seeds to the upper layer of the branches.

That is, on the sacrilege who is closer to the corrupt mother tree or on a piece of his body that is enshrined.

At that time, it will be much more difficult to get rid of it than it is now.

He is the one who knows the blasphemers best in this world. Whether it is self-destruction or corruption, only he who has rich experience knows how to break this deadlock.

What's more, what he lost, he had to get it back with his own hands!

Not long after, as the bustle gradually quieted down, the dances and dances came to an end, and many young nobles in dresses or court dresses came out of many mansions. Many of them walked together, and then in the mansion Take a carriage at the gate and leave separately.

Old Dicko also returned to the carriage to wait for his master's return.

It didn't take long before Woody saw Grandia coming out of the main entrance of the mansion.

At this moment, she is as usual, wearing a light pink lace dress, her crystal clear skin is like a piece of fine white porcelain, her golden waves are long and loose, covering her entire back, and there are a lot of hair winding around her back Come here, stick it on the lace gloves with the same color, and it will shine.

Her whole body exudes the unique fragrance of girls, cute and sexy.

And standing beside her at this moment is a handsome noble young man wearing a white gold-edged scholar's robe that is really incompatible with other people.

He has short silver hair that is dazzlingly representative of the Reese family, paired with amber pupils, and a slightly sharp chin, coupled with that sinking nobility, is enough to fascinate thousands of girls.

The combination of the two attracted many people's attention and whispers, especially many noble girls looked at Grandia's position with envy, as if they wished to take her place.

And Woody also knew the identity of the young man.

Felius, the second son of Earl Reese, who returned from St. Laurent, the prosperous capital of the Kingdom of Baviallo, is said to be studying at the most famous noble mage academy in the kingdom. The cost of studying for one year alone is more than five figures.

However, observing with Woody's eyes, this noble young man is obviously lacking in energy and energy, barely considered a formal mage, but he seems to have been hollowed out by wine and sex, and his walk is rather vain.

An idiot who is strong on the outside, and the player's favorite object to rob.

A high-level magical object probably doesn't need half of its strength.

Of course, Woody knew that there must be professionals protecting him, so he didn't think much about it, he just complained.

Soon, Grandia bid farewell to the noble young man with a very affectionate gesture.

Even the second son of the earl personally sent Grandia to the carriage.

Woody was unimpressed.

It wasn't until the carriage started moving that Woody started to move.

He followed.

　Ah, it's a bit late, but it's still here.See you tomorrow.
