Shadow Covenant

Chapter 76 "Want to give it a try"

In the early morning, Woody pushed the door out of the room.

The wine manor is gray and foggy at the moment, as if dark clouds from the sky have fallen to the ground, swallowing up the manor full of white buildings.

There was a bit of coldness in the air, the bluestone slabs were wet, it must have been a drizzle, and the soil on the lawn was also dark yellow.

Yesterday, after sending Verando back to her own room, Woody slept comfortably for a long time. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the first batch of potions will arrive today, and he needs plenty of energy and focus to make them. Alchemy Potion.

Concentration and carefulness are the only answers that Woody obtained to increase the probability of refining potions in countless times of refining potions.

But just as he walked to the dining room of the mansion, it started to rain lightly outside the window.

And with the spread of the mist, the ground was steamed with a dense breath, and even many servants looked around in such an abnormal weather.

"Rain and fog, this is definitely a rain and fog!"

Although most of the foggy weather in Palermo is sunny when the fog clears, there are a few exceptions.

Rainy and foggy days are Palermo people's accurate summary of this kind of weather, which is usually seen in November when the winter monsoon moves south.

In the mouth of the local port sailors, it is called Siren Day.

All ships in the port will avoid going to sea in this kind of weather. It is said that there is a chance of encountering sea monsters, and it is accompanied by the risk of hitting the rocks and sinking the ship.

At the same time, this day also means that the cold of winter has completely come to this small border town.

The winter rain that lasts for half a month is also coming.

"The rainy season is coming, will it delay the caravan's trip?"

"It's careless! What if no one takes the risk on a rainy day and no one accepts the entrustment?"

……

At this moment, Woody was eating the freshly baked soft white bread, supplemented with rich sauce, and the steaming fresh fish steak added flavor, while thinking wildly in his mind.

Just at this moment, the sound of steady footsteps came from outside the restaurant. Just listening to the rhythm, Woody didn't need to lift his head. He drank a glass of wine and asked casually.

"Morning, Cromwell, have you had breakfast? Fish steak with gin is delicious today, I recommend you to try it!"

"Thank you, Master Woody, but I've already eaten."

Cromwell's voice was still calm and patient, but what he said next surprised Woody.

"Master Woody, someone sent you something again."

"For me?"

When Woody heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and found that Cromwell was actually holding a long wooden box in his hand.

"Who brought it?"

After taking the long wooden box handed over by Cromwell, Woody asked subconsciously.

"I don't know, this time it's anonymous..."

Before Cromwell finished speaking, the long wooden box that Woody opened burst out a light silver light in the bright dining room.

That is... a noble rapier?
The silver-like blade more than one meter long is like a carved jade, the moonlight rotates, and the stars are twinkling.

This is the manifestation of Mithril mixed in the sword body.

And Woody's eyes widened even more, because he saw this sword in the black market not long ago, and he was a little regretful at that time.

Why did you take the initiative to deliver it to your door today?

It stands to reason that even if he wanted to please him, his attire at the time was not a stranger, even his aunt might not be able to recognize him.

unless……

A figure flashed in Woody's mind, but it was quickly rejected. His charm was only 12, so it wouldn't make people hide behind desperately.

However, he suddenly recalled that scene, the iron hook and the severed hand.

Could it be that she really...

He was a little confused, but if it was just compensation, would he just give him the 1500 gold coin rapier?This is too generous.

Woody frowned, feeling that things were not that simple, and sure enough, he found a rolled up note from the straw bedding in the wooden box.

There is a line of familiar handwriting on the rolled up note.

--"sorry."

It was her, Angelina.

She is back!
Swallowing the last bite of white bread, Woody put away the extraordinary rapier.

Although he wanted this weapon as a material to blend into the curved sword, he couldn't accept a free gift from someone he didn't know with peace of mind. Even as compensation, he felt that it was necessary to talk face to face first.

"Get me a carriage, I'm going out."

Woody looked at the light rain that was still falling, and after thinking about it, he still gave orders to Cromwell.

Seeing this, Cromwell left immediately. As a housekeeper, he naturally knew when to ask and when to speak.

After he left, Woody opened the extraordinary rapier again, looked around, and finally rubbed his forehead.

"It's really troublesome."

His original intention in planning his own path was to avoid too much connection and involvement with this world as much as possible, even if his aunt and Veranduo couldn't avoid it.

After all, the warmth of relatives can sometimes make him feel the meaning of life and the reason to fight for it.

However, for others, he really didn't want to get involved too much, too much emotion would only hinder his progress.

Woody walked out of the restaurant holding the wooden box.

He is going out.

However, not long after Woody's carriage left the manor, another carriage returned to the wine estate.

The sound of pattering rain hit the ground and roof tiles, creating a crisp and dense symphony.

The maid had already opened an umbrella and waited outside, and Susan Edith, who hadn't returned all night, got out of the carriage.

She was still dressed in yesterday's attire, wearing a solemn black dress, and surrounded by rain, she could not help exuding a cool and outstanding temperament.

At this time, Susan Edith looked tired, but after hearing from Cromwell that Woody had gone out, she was slightly taken aback.

Finally, he waved his hand to show that he knew.

This nephew of hers is always so worried.

However, she helped him deal with everything that needed to be dealt with, whether it was the Pike family, Jenferne of the Mel family, or the group of drow elves hiding in the city.

Sovia...and Rhine, that's all I can do for your son...

……

Tick-tick raindrops oozed from the cracks in the stones and fell into the damp gravel.

Angelina didn't know why she stayed here to shelter from the rain. In the distance was the rough sea, and dense raindrops formed a line in the sky.

She just came out of the city, didn't find out where Lin and the others were located, and came here subconsciously.

Perhaps there is also the reason why her restless heart gradually calmed down by being close to the sea.

But this time her tranquility didn't last long, and in her perception, a familiar breath came towards her.

Angelina subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that the cave at the bottom of the cliff was extremely narrow and there was no room to hide.

She tried her best to hide in the cave, and now she was not ready to face anyone.

The memories of the past few days have been tormenting her all the time, and now she is very afraid that if she closes her eyes again, she will turn into that terrifying sea monster again, cruel and crazy.

That's not her... and it won't be her...

She doesn't want anyone to see her like this now.

"I gave you that sword as an apology for not going there that night!"

"So, now, please get out of here immediately! Please, I can't help myself, I'm going to kill you..."

The hoarse voice represented her tyranny, but her words represented the surviving humanity. Under the agitation of emotions, her originally flat teeth began to become sharp under the distortion of magical power.

Fortunately, after her words fell, the footsteps of the visitor stopped. Angelina breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had been persuaded, and hurriedly said.

"Don't come in! Or I will really kill you!"

But what Angelina didn't expect was that.

After a long while, the sound of stagnant footsteps suddenly moved, not moving away, but getting closer.

And at the same time, she heard the sound of something falling on the sand.

She felt something was wrong, subconsciously looked up, and found the arched stone cave entrance.

A sword-wielding youth wearing a pitch-black hunting suit and a hood has already stepped out. Under the hood, there are golden pupils, and his expressionless and delicate face looks like a god. The extraordinary rapier in his hand is even more impressive. Silver light flowed.

He looked at her, and she looked at him.

"What are you going to do?"

Angelina questioned the familiar boy in front of her with a trembling voice.

After the boy heard this, his face slowly became serious, and he replied in a low voice.

"I just want to try, can you kill me!"

"..."

Angelina seemed to have instantly turned into a fish that couldn't breathe, with her mouth wide open.
