Shadow Covenant

Chapter 84 "Legend"

After a while, Woody found a monster corpse on the coast, and ordered the coachman to go to the dock area to hire some porters.

The coachman of the Edith family breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Woody come back safely.

Although the young master in front of him had changed his clothes, there was no lethargy in his eyes, just as normal as before he left.

It was really frightening for him to guard this young master just now, especially the heavy rain just now...

Woody didn't have the time to guess what the coachman was thinking, and he came here in person just to let the coachman prove himself, so after seeing the coachman leave as ordered, he returned to the original place.

Angelina was squatting on the beach at this time, watching the shark lizard not far away frowning, as if muttering something, she was surprised when she noticed Woody approaching.

"You're back! Are you ready?"

After Woody nodded, he said to Angelina.

"After the matter here is over, can you walk with me?"

"Huh? Where? Back to Palermo?"

Angelina looked puzzled, she didn't expect that Woody would have something to look for her.

"Well, no, I want to go underground..."

Woody reminded that he wanted to use the extraordinary perception of the monk girl to explore the cave, and it would be much more convenient to have her around.

"Ah! You mean, the lair of the shark lizard?" Angelina pointed at the corpse and said in surprise.

"Well, that's right. Although the shark lizard generally doesn't build a lair, there may be a lot of ore for food reserves near where it lives. I plan to go down and have a look..."

Woody sighed, thinking of his withered purse.

No way, as a poor adventurer, he had to search for all the loot he could.

"Of course no problem! But are we just digging for it?" Angelina replied without hesitation, even with an inexplicable joy on her face, but she was still a little puzzled. After drilling out, the soil returned to its original appearance.

Woody attributed Angelina's thoughts to the excitement before the adventure, and smiled at her questions, and raised the plastic stone gloves he still held on his hands.

"This will help us reach its lair."

……

The hired porters at the pier arrived soon. They brought ropes, and they were shocked when they saw the huge shark lizard stranded on the beach. Standing there safe and sound, he came boldly.

"Pull this back to the big warehouse of the Edith family."

Woody ordered while distributing silver coins to the workers who came.

Because of the relationship with the wine estate, Aunt Susan has several large warehouses in the dock area of ​​Palermo to store wine for easy transportation.

"Understood, young master..."

"Thank you sir..."

These workers were timid, but when they saw the silver coins, their eyes were shining, and they hurriedly responded. Although the monster is heavy, there are thirty or forty people here, enough to drag it.

But when Woody was distributing the last few people, there was a stubble-faced middle-aged man who was very excited when he saw Woody coming, so he knelt down and begged, plus complained.

"Gods, Master Edith, do you know who killed this nasty land shark? I want to thank him very much!"

"It's what killed my father when I was 15!"

After all, Woody was the first to spot the shark lizard.

Woody observed that he had been staring at the shark-lizard beast just now, and guessed that he might have seen it. Seeing him like this, he knew it, but he still pretended to be dumb.

"I also found this monster stranded on the shore after the rain stopped. At first I thought it was a whale."

"I didn't expect it to be a shark-headed lizard. It might be worth a lot of money if you throw it in a secret shop."

Woody deliberately pretended to be a noble boy who was excited to pick up the treasure, and successfully fooled the group of dock workers without Angelina's approval.

Therefore, Woody also learned the story about this shark lizard among the weeping workers.

The old-fashioned mine monster cannibalism incident, coupled with the collapse of the original mine due to the earthquake at that time, and the weak monsters in the Fairy Wilderness, triple danger.

Let the fluorite mine, which was exhausted at that time and lost money year after year, be abandoned directly.

Moreover, Woody also heard more stories of the time.

such as.

Due to the issue of pensions for workers who died, the nobles in charge of the mine at that time did not even want mining rights and local houses.

He ran away directly, so the mining right of the mine was logically mortgaged to the local city hall.

At that time, the solution given by the Palermo City Hall was that whoever solves the threat in the mine and brings the corpse of the shark and lizard to the past will have the right to mine the mine.

However, no one accepted this loss-making deal at all. After all, it would cost a lot of money to invite an adventurer to kill a shark lizard, plus the strange figure of a bully monster.

Therefore, even after several years, many people want to try it, but every time these two problems arise, many people's ideas are directly stifled.

"It seems that I got a bargain."

After hearing this, Woody, who inexplicably had an extra mining right, sighed secretly, but he didn't forget to ask Edith's groom to notify Aunt Susan to come over, as it would be most appropriate to leave these matters to her.

He believes that even if he fails to obtain the mining rights of the mine in the end, his aunt will fight for the best interests for him.

The huge body of the shark lizard slowly left the beach under the drag of a dozen people.

But Woody and Angelina fell far behind. Woody didn't choose to stop until several carriages belonging to the Edith family arrived.

That should be fine.

But it was Cromwell who got out of the carriage.

At this moment, the manor housekeeper was also surprised to see the huge shark lizard body being dragged forward by more than ten people. He subconsciously thought it was Woody.

After all, the young master of the Aleister family has changed in the past few days, and the whole wine estate is well known. Some people say that he has changed so much because of love.

But when he saw the huge wound and bite mark on the belly of the shark lizard beast, he knew that the fatal injury came from here. However, when he saw an inconspicuous hole in the stomach, his gray pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't say much, but walked towards Woody, who was standing on the edge, stepped forward to say hello.

"Master Woody, Madam didn't sleep last night, so I didn't bother her, but I can handle this matter."

"Hmm." Listening to Cromwell's assurance, Woody didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Although she is not an aunt, Cromwell, as a housekeeper, can indeed negotiate on behalf of the Edith family to a certain extent.

"After the notarization, leave me its skin, head bones and internal organs. I will use it."

The purpose of Woody coming here is to explain his plan, and he bid farewell to Cromwell after seeing him nodding.

He has no intention of following, after all, he has not forgotten that there is still a lair waiting for him underground.

Moreover, the shark lizard hadn't left for so long, Woody always felt that something was wrong, so he planned to go down and have a look.

But when Woody returned to the cave, and Angelina was about to dig the tunnel for the shark lizard to come up.

A hint was drawn across the data panel.

Woody clicked.

Then a row of data is displayed.

——"Because of the carcass you found on the beach, you have gained 1 point of legend "city-state legend". "

Is this also possible?

Woody opened it along the way, and found that under the original data column, there was another row of reputation.

Then click on it to display a new row of data.
