Shadow Covenant

Chapter 65 "Training"

The Harvest Festival is also known as the Autumn Festival.

More than 1000 years before the valley calendar, the "Citizen Code" written by Molian Kalia, the first king of the ancient Kalia kingdom developed here, stated that all nobles and subjects will enjoy the festival on this day. The joy of a bountiful harvest, celebrating the gift of the land to humanity.

Baviallo was part of the ancient Kingdom of Kalia in the past, and many daily festivals are naturally used in accordance with the ancient law and have not been changed.

The group of seagulls in the wharf area also seemed to know that today is the autumn harvest celebration. They either stood on the eaves or on the pillars of the plank road, and together with their passing companions, they played a high-pitched song that could resound through half the city—in their memory Generation after generation, the notion that today there will be enough food for them to eat without stalking behind fishing boats has never been forgotten.

Located in the wine estate in the aristocratic district of Palermo, it is also very lively, with dozens of servants coming and going between the kitchen and the banquet hall.

The patriarch of the Edith family, Kamo Edith, and his wife had a total of five children.

Except for the unfortunate death of the second daughter, Sovia Edith, and the marriage of the fifth daughter to St. Lawrence, the other three children are all in Palermo.

Viscount Kamo usually lives in the mansion of his eldest son, Faunte Edith, the son of a judge with a high reputation in Palermo. He lives with his two grandsons and granddaughter, and occasionally goes to the third son, Sunder Wharf. The mansion where the District Sheriff lives, and the estate of the fourth daughter Susan Edith is very difficult to visit once.

Especially after his grandson Woody Alester moved in, the old man who used to be the Cavalry Warlord of the Kingdom of Baviello, expanded the territory for the kingdom, and quelled the monster disputes did not even mention it.

In his words, when he saw Woody Aleister, he would think of his poor second daughter, Sovia, and her irresponsible son-in-law, Rhine Aleister.

He doesn't like his grandson, even though his blood runs through him.

Plus for Susan's own sake.

Therefore, he would never think of inviting Viscount Kamo to live in the wine estate.

If it is not a grand festival, it is almost difficult for them to meet each other.

Outside the manor, after the double carriage engraved with the emblem of the Edith family stopped, two aristocratic youths in fine attire got out of the carriage. When they saw Susan Edith waiting at the gate of the manor, she spoke neatly. After calling out to her aunt, she didn't dare to take another look at this graceful and majestic lady, and walked straight into the manor.

In their eyes, their aunt has always been honest with them, and the relationship with their father is not very good. In fact, the relationship is not close, and it is their grandfather Kamov who maintains the bond.

But in fact, as a member of the House of Lords, Judge Farnter still needs the financial help of his sister Susan Edith in a sense, and Susan also needs the help of her brother who is the heir to the title of Viscount in the House of Commons. The right to speak, to a certain extent, the two people help and support each other, and the relationship is not so rigid.

It's just that Farnte is committed to training his children to serve in politics or the army, and never thought of letting them inherit business. Therefore, apart from their official contacts, the two families have no close personal relationship.

In other words, Cromwell, who was in charge of delivering the money, might know more about her brother Farnter's mansion than Susan.

"Long time no see, sister!"

A middle-aged man with a gold-rimmed monocle, dressed in aristocratic attire, and a gentleman with half-white hair also stepped down from a carriage at this moment, with a smile on his face, and walked towards Susan. go.

"Same, brother, the last time we met was at Viscount Quinn's banquet, haha."

Susan Edith also approached very skillfully and gave a face-to-face gift, and said with a smile.

At the same time, her eyes turned to the elderly man who came down with the middle-aged man.

Her father - Kamo Edith.

"Father, are you okay!" she asked concerned.

"I can't die!" The old man who was skinny but with a straight figure cast a cold glance at his daughter who was wearing a fine attire today, and replied meanly.

"Oh, father, there's no need to do this. I just chose the path I want to take. What I should say has been made clear when we met last time."

Susan Edith looked at her father's face, knowing that his old problem had happened again, and she was very helpless.

"Choose the path? Hoho! Before your mother died, she hoped that you would marry a good husband, be a noble lady with peace of mind, and enjoy life. Didn't you agree to it at that time! And then? Not now Fighting with people in the business field, intrigue! That's what a man should do!"

The old man reprimanded sharply.

He spent half his life on the battlefield, not because he didn't see outstanding women, nor was he a machismo.

I just simply feel that the Edith family now needs reputation more than money.

However, the first impression of all the nobles in Palermo when they mention the Edith family is the story of the "wine queen" who sold all kinds of wines in the nearby city-states.

Instead of being the first heir and the eldest son Fant, who is also a member of the House of Lords.

As a result, Viscount Kamo heard some bad rumors in the city.

It is said that the Edith family, which once won the title by virtue of military exploits, now needs a woman to stand in the foreground.

——The fallen nobleman.

This old man who no longer cared about money became paranoid. He sent people several times to persuade Susan to put down her career and find a husband who would treat her well. This is the most important thing, but usually this kind of message will Ignored by Susan.

This also led to the deteriorating relationship between the father and daughter.

"Sooner or later, you will piss me off!"

Seeing that Susan Edith stopped talking back, the old man was not interesting talking alone.

With the help of his son on crutches, he could only curse into the wine estate.

Only Susan Edith stood alone at the gate of the manor, facing the rising sun alone.

……

On the other side of the manor, in a remote corner.

"Cousin Woody, are you really not going there?"

Today, like her mother, Veranduo was also well-dressed. The noble girl in a pink pleated skirt stood under the shade of a tree, looking forward, as if she was waiting for the arrival of the sweaty boy on the opposite training ground. Reply.

And Woody is still meticulously holding double swords, or a long sword, and a dagger on the training ground, practicing against the wooden stakes one by one.

"It's fine if you go, I will only make the situation more embarrassing, and you don't want to embarrass your mother!"

Woody wiped the sweat from his forehead, he naturally knew who came to today's banquet.

Maybe the former owner didn't care, but Woody can naturally see that the so-called Edith family, in fact, is the only wine estate that can accommodate him.

"Okay! Remember that night!"

Weilando could only wave her hand and leave helplessly. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Woody about the night's agreement.

Woody could only nod helplessly, he didn't care about Verando's request to invite him to the celebration.

After all, he just wanted to go out and prepare the equipment needed for the long journey.

……

Swish!
The blade cuts half an inch into a specially made stake.

Then there was another swift shadow, and the sharp blade of the other hand still pierced into the position under the wooden stake representing the ribs, and with a slight pull down, the intestines and internal organs could be pulled out together.

He is currently practicing two-weapon combat. In addition to upgrading, the growth of strength also requires the accumulation of daily training.

Even in "Saint", there are a bunch of adventure players who spend a lot of time on dummy stakes every day.

Because this can not only refine the fighting style, but also make each of his shots more swift and powerful, and understand where his limit is.

Especially those legendary demon hunters who are proficient in assassination, they are familiar with their own injuries, when everything is calculated.

Then the probability of a successful assassination will be [-]%...

Woody was already sweating when he hit the stake for an unknown number of times.

But Woody knew it was worth it when he saw the data emerge.

——"The exercise is over."

——"You have mastered the skills of using two weapons, and you have a deeper understanding of how to attack with two weapons!..."

—— "You have acquired the [Two-Weapon Combat] feat."

……

　It's too late, I can't stay up late, I'll see if I have time tomorrow morning to make up for it. . .

　　Still owe 4000...
