Shadow Covenant

Chapter 70 "The Curtain Will Be Open"

Leaving the mansion and going to the wooden house where he lived, what Woody couldn't get rid of was the gloomy look on the eyebrows of the lady.

The words of refusal were harder to say than he imagined.

But Woody was relieved to hear that his aunt also planned to go to St. Lawrence, the capital of Baviallo in the future.

At least in the last life, Woody had been to this city more than once.

Although at that time the comet transformed from the corrupted mother tree had already infected the world, the wilderness was full of corrupted creatures.

However, the internal order of St. Lawrence is still stable, similar to a sanctuary, and there is no ending like other cities where the city is destroyed.

At least before the dark years, the safety of the city is guaranteed.

But at that time, he focused on adventures in various ruins in the south, and later went to the world battlefield, and his understanding of the cities in the southern kingdom was limited to the local customs and characteristics, just like St. Lawrence.

He remembered that there was a huge blue dragon head at the gate of the city. It is said that the founding king of Baviello personally led the Kingdom's Fearless Knights to the Thunder High Cliff leading to the throat of the Eastern Commercial Road, and beheaded the lord who occupied it. Bring back the loot.

In Ashland, every family that established a kingdom or even a city-state must have its own advantages.

After all, although the gods are absent in this world, due to the repeated rise of the Nether Empire and mechanical civilization thousands of years ago, the research of mages, and the summoning of alien creatures, powerful monsters that always threaten the living space of human beings are not in Asenland. lack.

If you want to fight against it, you must have equal or even surpassing strength.

Knowing that they intend to go to St. Lawrence in the future, Woody doesn't have to worry about the possible ending of another timeline will affect his pace of searching for the astral whale.

Although he still doesn't quite understand why Palermo will suffer a meteor fall at this time next year, and how Verando became a ghost wandering in the ruins of the ancient city.

But at least he can grasp the present, and that's enough.

Before going to bed, Woody has already started planning tomorrow's schedule and travel plans. In addition to observing the reaction of the temple and going to the black market in the dock area to check the materials, he has to go to the commercial area again, looking for the Koval Forest and passing through the Crescent Mountains. caravan.

By the way, he sent the blueprint of the curved knife he planned to make to the blacksmith's shop. Custom weapons required many discussions on the details to create a perfect weapon. The blueprint solved this difficulty to a certain extent.

After all, making weapons is not about ignoring them, and communication between the two parties is essential.

Even many dwarf craftsmen at the master level of forging weapons will invite you to observe them in person when making extraordinary weapons. If they send a few jugs of fine wine, he will also invite you to fine-tune the feel to help you create the most convenient weapon. weapon.

However, there are not many dwarves active in Asenland. Most of their groups are distributed in the deserts in the east and the glaciers in the Northland. Woody remembers that a group of mountain dwarves called "Heart of the Mountains" turned their fortress into a "melting furnace". "It was built in an underground active volcanic crater in the Northland.

At that time, the +2 "Mithril Beheading Ax" used by the Woody Berserker profession was completed a series of tasks there, and asked the local dwarf craftsmen to help build it as a reward, but now it is too far away from the Forge Fortress in the Northland. He can only adopt the principle of proximity.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has now received funding from Susan Edith, 2000 gold coins.

You can pick it up from Cromwell tomorrow.

Although she regarded the money as a reward for Woody's reckless decision to save the Edith family, he knew it was his aunt's excuse, so he accepted it without any pressure, without any pretense.

There has been a bond between him and them.

Naturally, he could see how they took care of him these days.

Therefore, it is natural to do something within one's ability, such as changing one's destiny...

He can spend the money with peace of mind.

Once again, the rich money bag allows Woody to prepare props for the long journey in addition to weapons.

You know, after the battle with the Xenomorph, his originally relatively wealthy net worth was instantly emptied by those few scrolls.

Although on the way to Koval Forest, the monsters encountered the most are the three newcomer killers of kobolds, gnolls, and goblins. Even if Woody is not prepared, he can chop melons and vegetables.

But if you consider that if there is a rare dragon warlock in the kobold tribe, there will be a priest of Yenoghu, the god of jackals, and there will be a dozen bear goblins among the goblins...

Woody still has to take into account the unexpected factors in these adventures.

He can't prepare a dozen temporary scrolls for backup like Faye, but as a demon hunter, it is not difficult for him to prepare a dozen alchemy potions. Tomorrow, he can go to the Adventurer's Union and post a request to buy a monster's body. Easy way.

It has to be said that the "wealth" attribute characteristic of nobles can save Woody a lot of effort.

As long as he has money, he can issue commissions through the Adventurer's Association, so that many adventurers in the city can collect them from various wilderness swamps and monster corpses for him.

Anyway, he has solved the curse now, and the time to leave Palermo has not yet been set, so he has enough time to wait for the material to come to his door.

In addition to these, he also planned to master the various simple melee skills he was familiar with in his previous life as soon as possible through his usual training.

Whether it is upgrading "Intuitive Reflex" to the next stage "Lightning Reflex", or mastering the specialty "Powerful Attack" after mastering the "Slash" that no matter which melee class will point out, it can greatly improve Woody's strength. little help.

What's more, the half-baked feeling when driving the body to forcibly use unfamiliar weapon skills greatly affects his display of strength.

Especially when it is at the same level as the combat target, it is the most deadly.

Now recalling the not-so-difficult battle with the Xenomorph, if it wasn't for the Xenomorph who was better at spells than close combat, the victory of that battle would still be unknown even now.

After all, it is common for a spellcaster to have the power of a warrior out of thin air, and most spellcasters cannot perform at [-]% of the level of a warrior, or even lower.

When Woody returned to the room, he didn't lie directly on the soft mattress, but went straight to a corner in the darkness.

The demon hunter gave him plenty of physical strength, even if he didn't sleep at night, he could still be full of energy the next day.

Therefore, the idea of ​​digging through a back road that no one knows is indispensable for Woody now.

Especially after he met the noble girl who was suspected of being a drow spy, it was imminent.

……

Outside the city of Palermo, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, a silent transaction was carried out in the dark, and the whispers were covered by the sound of waves hitting the rocks. Soon, with One of the parties sinks into the water and declares the deal closed.

What to discuss is unknown.

After a while, the carriage left the scene with the other party.

The air on the coast became dead still again.

Only the carriage driving on the path in the distance, under the reflection of the moonlight piercing through the dark clouds, the family emblem covered by the black cloth was blown by the coastal sea breeze, revealing a corner.

It can be vaguely seen that this is the outline of the emblem belonging to "Wine and Crown."

And all the nobles of Palermo knew it.

This is the coat of arms belonging to the "Lutov" family.

　Get up and modify it, there is one update before 10 o'clock, and two updates in the afternoon if there is no accident, come on!what!Codewords make me happy.
