Shadow Covenant

Chapter 63 "Envelope"

After three adventures, four encounters.

It took a day and a night to upgrade to level 4.

Woody is still very satisfied, although it is not as fast as those who upgraded the party in the previous life, the fastest even reached level 10 in one day.

They used props to clear three monster lairs, and then killed two bipedal dragons, plus holy water to wipe out the high-level ghost knight.

But although their experience has increased a lot, the money is gone like running water.

Moreover, I am still in an unfamiliar environment, without a strategy, or even a prophet, relying only on the combat experience brought by instinct, it is not easy to be able to upgrade so quickly.

The only pity is that going down the mountain was too reckless, and he didn't go down the mountain through the trail. In this way, he could avoid the group of drow, so he didn't lie on the bed for so long.

But having said that, as the memories of the past two days deepened, Woody became more and more confused about the reason why he met the drow the night before.

The escape of a spider elf caused a lot of people, including the spider queen priest, to come and arrest them. Could this be a bigger battle?

Or was that spider elf crucial to them?

Woody thought carefully, and seemed to feel that something was wrong. Although he had some guesses in his heart, the key evidence was not sufficient, and random judgments would only mislead him.

Therefore, he didn't have a clue, so he simply didn't get entangled. Anyway, after his professional level was raised to level 5 and he became a second-tier professional, he would leave Palermo.

This piece of land is still too small. To be honest, he doesn't even know where he can gain experience in this city.

Far less natural than those from the Northland.

There, you can join the city guards to jointly resist the attack of the frost giant tribe, and you can also create a dragon hunting team to find traces of the white dragon on the vast ice field, plan the treasure house of the giant dragon, and go deep underground to find the nests of frost insects, Nether Ruins.

And these, whether it is the pre-war preparations or the difficulty of the task, he knows everything well.

But even if the curse is removed, if you want to venture to the Northland, you need to be fully prepared to travel between cities.

He didn't want to feed himself into the cauldron of some ogre, or into the mouth of a giant dragon occupying the road before the Northland arrived.

According to Woody's memory, none of the land and sea routes to the Northland is completely safe.

On the commercial road along the coastline to Neverwinter Harbor in the Northland, apart from a large area of ​​swamps and wilderness, there is also a large area of ​​urban ruins. Woody remembers that there is a tomb of a legendary lich. After passing the ogre tribe in the wilderness, and the lizardman kingdom in the swamp controlled by a black dragon, if you are lucky, you may pass, but if you are not lucky...

In the previous life, there were many unlucky guys who calculated the average death probability of players at each level of this trade route. When encountering an encounter event below level 5, the death probability is about 80.00%, and above level 5 is 30.00%. will drop below ten percent.

This has also led to the fact that among the saints, most players will raise their level to level 5 by default, and then think about leaving the city and going to other cities to develop, which is more secure.

However, he does know a relatively stable route to the Northland. Professionals above level 5 can pass safely without worrying about various probabilistic events that will be encountered on the road.

The highest level in that area will not exceed level 10, and if he is lucky, he can also get the first pot of gold obtained by relying on the prophet after coming to this world.

Just as Woody was carefully planning the next plan, there were footsteps outside the door, and the door that was gently closed by Veranduo was pushed open, and the person who came out naturally heard his wake up. There's news from my aunt, Susan Edith, who came over.

The "Queen of Wine" of Palermo still looks gorgeous today.

The long dark golden hair is scattered on the burgundy dress that combines the style of the Baviallo court. The elbow-length lace-trimmed long sleeves and the hem are decorated with shining finely colored gemstones, which not only reveal luxury and luxury.It also perfectly complements the wearer's refined, refined and slender beauty.

She came here alone, and obviously Verlando should be sent aside by her, and Woody also knew that the first difficulty he would face after waking up was about to come.

Susan didn't go to the bed at the first time, but closed the door first, and then closed the curtains in Woody's room before sitting on the bed, looking at the pair of teenagers with interest. There are some incompatible golden snake pupils in the eyes.

"Is this what you were working on in the alchemy room a few days ago?"

Her voice was the same as usual, as if there was no difference, but Woody found it difficult to meet her eyes and speak to himself.

"Yes……"

The dry words didn't seem to satisfy her.

"Then don't you want to explain something?"

"Explain what?" Although Woody wanted to pretend to be stupid, but looking at his aunt, he felt that he couldn't hide it from her.

"Eyes, and this injury! Do you know that what you did is very worrying! I didn't sleep well the night before yesterday. How can you make me worthy of your mother's entrustment to me at the end of life!"

The noble lady Grace severely reprimanded him for his bad behavior, but her hand tucked him in the slipped corner of the quilt.

"Auntie, this is a very long story." Although Woody had planned his rhetoric in his mind, he still felt that it would be best to get away with it.

But the wine queen didn't even lift her eyelids.

"Then I'm all ears."

"Your mother handed you over to me, and I have to be responsible to her. You've become like this now. You'd better have a reasonable explanation."

"Okay!" Woody raised his eyebrows at the lady who was supposed to be his aunt, and said helplessly.

"Actually, this matter has to be talked about many days ago..."

With the memory of Woody's previous life, he naturally knows that he has always been withdrawn and unspoken in the winery. Even if others show concern, he will fight back fiercely. His aunt teased him several times like this. I no longer pay attention, so it is not a problem to want to weave a "white" lie.

In the story, Woody makes up a random encounter with a wandering alchemist and credits him with why he knows how to do alchemy.

"Not long ago, I met him, and he said that my life is not long..." Woody pretended to be true and adapted the story after time travel into that with the help of others, he saw through someone's conspiracy against him.

"Is that the fainting?"

"Yes, Grandia sent someone to do it." Woody smiled wryly, like a bitter master who discovered the truth about green.

"Oh? I just said that she has bad intentions and is not a good girl. What did you say about me at that time, Auntie, I don't need you to care about my affairs. I am neither your son nor your daughter..."

"Auntie, I was wrong..." Woody covered his head, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

However, the words that were once full of youthful rebellion were said from the mouth of this dignified and graceful lady, and it was inexplicably emotional.

"I knew I was wrong, so why didn't you look for me at that time? The priest Gewei in the Temple of Radiance is very familiar with me."

"Mainly I wasn't sure at the time..." Woody said helplessly.

"Then it's confirmed now? You mean..."

Susan Edith hadn't realized it yet, but saw Woody's large healed scars on the back of his neck and on his chest.

Coupled with the poison entering her body the day before yesterday, what her personal doctor Corvo said is still fresh in her memory-"It is a miracle of the human body that this kind of injury can still be alive, and it can be self-sufficient without her healing potion. Recovery, like a monster."

She suddenly seemed to understand something.

"It seems that there is no news yet, are you planning to cover it up?"

Woody knew from the look on Susan's face that word had not been made of Grandia and her mother's death.

It should be the things he deliberately left in the basement that made the Parker family choose to swallow the bitter pill.

But with the witness of the coachman, even if they were suspicious, they would turn their attention to a foreigner from the north named "Garon".

Instead of an accidental injury, the son of a nobleman who was recuperating at home - Woody Alester.

"That's fine, you can tell me or Cromwell what you need, whether it is financial or other aspects, I will give support, but you have to remember, always put your life first bit."

"I took you over from your mother, not to let you die in ignorance!"

"do you know?"

After listening to Woody's story, Susan Edith didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now, but she still severely reprimanded him for acting recklessly alone.

"understood……"

Feeling the care of the lady in front of him, what can Woody say, he can only nod silently.

That's all he can say, and as for the rest, he can only explain it after he finds the Star Boundary Whale.

But he suddenly thought of that drow priest, and couldn't help but ask some words.

"Auntie, have you considered leaving Palermo?"

"Why did you leave?"

"Because it doesn't seem safe here..."

Woody's mind flicked through the ruins that will turn into here in the future, as well as the girl's ghost...

"But the outside world is not safe. Even St. Lawrence, the capital of Baviallo, was attacked by a red dragon not long ago. Two earls died. Now they are gathering dragon slaying warriors, saying that they want to avenge the earl. Woolen cloth."

Susan thought that the danger Woody was talking about was the sahuagin attacking the slums not long ago, after all, that's what he just talked about.

"……All right."

Thinking of Zall's actions that he didn't dare to act blatantly, Woody didn't get too entangled.

So he finally asked Susan Edith.

"I want to change rooms, Auntie."

This is the best way for him to go out conveniently these days without attracting the attention of others.

"Okay, just talk to Cromwell when the time comes."

Susan did not raise any objections to Woody's proposal, but just asked him casually why he didn't want to live here. After he passed by with simple reasons, he saw that there was nothing to talk about, and Susan Edith also had her own affairs. Need to be busy, this bedroom conversation ended with both of them heaving a sigh of relief.

Verando broke in just as Susan left and said that the pea broth was ready, and Woody knew that she had been guarding outside.

But he is not hungry now, so he wants to solve the problem of moving first.

So he decided to go to Cromwell, and Verlando followed him.

But after finding Cromwell, he gave himself a letter.

Said it was delivered yesterday.

Before Woody opened it, he was stunned when he saw a line of words marked on it.

"Angelina."

The monk girl.

Taking it apart, there is only one line of short sentences written in the common language of the Southern Continent.

"sorry."

　Together with the addition in the morning, there are 6000, woo woo, and there are more in the evening. I found that I pushed the plot very slowly, but if I didn’t push it, it felt fake. I wanted to write it like the master of the abyss, but it turned out to be a large family ethics Drama, sad ~.

　　Finally, thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendations, continue to ask for monthly tickets, and recommend~
