Shadow Covenant

Chapter 90 "Warrior"

As the sea fog thickens, so does the hustle and bustle of Palermo's docks.

Tonight will be the last night many sailors spend on land this month.

If you go to the Northland tomorrow, you will have to wait at least until the beginning of next month before you can go to the nearest port tavern and indulge yourself.

After Woody handed over the materials to Wagner, and then told the details of the weapon drawings, he bid farewell to his blacksmith shop.

The one-box carriage departed amid the sound of iron felt and hammering, and then left the trading area without looking back.

Go to the aristocratic neighborhood across the bridge.

Today, the only passage leading to the aristocratic area, the inspection at the bridge is extremely strict. This group of professional soldiers with an average level of more than 5 is meticulously searching for any places where people may hide. For pedestrians or nobles, a light detection is performed.

The subjects are required to face the strong light with their eyes open, and they will pass if they do not show too much stressful reaction. This is the most convenient way to check the underground creatures. The noctilucent spores that filled the entire cave had hardly experienced too intense glare. Even if the disguised drow's eyelids were coated with blinding ointment designed to resist sunlight, they could not resist this kind of inspection.

Soon, it was Woody's turn to check. The captain of the guard with a two-handed sword on his back and a silver armor all over his body showed a little respect when he saw that the carriage belonged to Edith.

"Your Excellency, according to the earl's order, conduct routine inspections on all personnel entering the noble area."

"Check it."

Woody didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a routine inspection. He stepped out of the carriage, opened his golden animal pupils wide, and let the strong light shine directly.

However, when the glare disappeared and the inspection was completed, Woody, who was not low in perception, still felt a gaze still fixed on him.

He looked out of the corner of his eye with some doubts, and found that the position was the noble guard who was smiling apologetically at him, and his companion behind him.

As he entered the carriage.

The sense of locking eyes gradually disappeared.

……

"No problem, let it go!"

The captain of the guard guarding the bridge planned to get out of the way and let the Edith family's carriage leave as usual, but what he didn't expect was that the carriage did not leave, but opened again with the door.

A young voice came from inside.

"Hello, sir, can I have a look at that thing in your hand?"

The captain subconsciously wanted to refuse, but found out that it was the member of the Edith family just now.

A very polite young man with dark hair and strange golden eyes, he was referring to the magical object he used to emit a strong light.

"Oh well."

The captain checked that there were no other carriages waiting behind Woody. Since the nobles of the Edith family in front of him wanted to observe, there was no reason to refuse.

It happened that he was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to show his face in front of the Edith family. Now this family emblem is in the limelight in the city, and he quickly handed over the test stone to the noble young man.

"This is the flash stone given to us by Priest Geweier of the Dawn Temple. It's not a valuable thing, you just need to shake it gently, and then give it a thumb..."

Seeing the noble boy who got off the carriage playing with the oval flashing stone, the captain began to tell him how to use it.

"Oh? Is that so?"

This handsome young nobleman stared at those shining golden pupils, and made a doubtful voice, but the movements of his hands were not slow. Before the captain finished speaking, the movements of this noble youth He had already rehearsed the steps that the captain of the guard hadn't said in advance, and it came out of nowhere, and everyone present was shocked by his move.

Following a violent burst of light, it directly covered this area completely, and at the same time there was a strange exclamation, with a tone that seemed human but not human.

When the light dissipated, many guards found that a fellow soldier who was standing with them was rubbing his eyes frantically at this moment, tears streaming down uncontrollably, and the painful sound from his mouth did not belong to any area of ​​Palermo. With the tone of his voice, as his face was soaked with tears, the rubbed skin gradually turned black, and the truth became clear.

——"Drow Elf!"

——"It's the drow!"

I don't know who made the terrified sound first, anyway, everyone subconsciously surrounded him, and the drow warrior who was blinded and disguised as a guard was looking at a certain Direction, living in the dark all year round, most drow fighters mastered "blind fighting" very easily.

——"The surface people who should be devoured by thousands of spiders!"

——"You can't escape, you must die! The will of the great spider queen has already known you!"

——"In the name of Nimoun Faltes!"

——"After I die, you will usher in death with me!"

--"Together……"

However, before the drow warrior named Nimunn could finish speaking, the sound of cold swords breaking through the air and the captain of the guard's angry shout came at the same time.

"Die! Black-skinned monster! Even pretending to be my favorite Matthew..."

"My poor little Matthew!"

The voice of the captain of the guard was gnashing his teeth, wanting to chew up the drow in front of him. He had already stepped over Woody's figure the first time the drow showed his true colors, and he was bound to put his hand on his chest. Under the blade of the sword, the meritorious atonement will be made.

However, even if the drow's vision is affected, it's not that easy to kill. At least in the face of a sword move with such a strong wind, even if he is blind, he can still detect the movement with years of fighting experience in the dark.

Randomly pulling out the crossed long sword at his waist, he blocked the guard captain's strike that poured his strength into the "flying slash".

Dangdang Dangdang!
The two fought each other again, and the captain of the guard in front might have the upper hand. Every attack could make the drow suppressed and breathless, as if he was lingering under his sword strokes.

The surrounding guards suddenly cheered.

However, as time went on, only the captain of the guard knew that whether it was the armor on his body or the two-handed giant sword in his hand, it was a huge consumption of physical strength.

It can't go on like this anymore, it will end neatly.

——"Heavy dance four times in a row."

The two-handed sword brought a strong wind and slashed at the blind but ghostly drow warrior in front of him. The range was unexpectedly large and full of destructive power, even the most stalwart standing in front of him The bear goblin, he has the confidence to dismember it.

In front of this sword skill, one must either run out of the attack distance ahead of time, or face it head-on.

He seized the opportunity and waited for the damned blind black-skinned man in front of him to throw himself into the trap.

Die!

Under my long sword!
However, things were beyond his surprise. Even if the drow in front of him was blind, he seemed to have judged the location of his attack in advance. Facing the galloping two-handed sword, he did not choose to retreat, but leaned against the sword. He quickly approached the sword master.

Oops!

The captain of the guard's heart tightened when his long sword failed again, and he immediately forcibly stopped his sword move, preparing to turn sideways hard, exert strength from his waist, and drain his energy for a short-distance charge.

But before he could turn around, Drow's treacherous figure accelerated again, and he lost his vision target.

It's... not good!
The captain of the guard wanted to curse in his heart, but when the faint voice came from behind, his heart skipped a beat, and his spine suddenly felt chills. He wanted to turn around but found that his body couldn't turn back at all.

"Kill! Blood...sacrifice! Kill!"

Nimoun, who dodged behind the captain of the guard, looked like a madman, muttering incomprehensible underground language, and the long sword in his hand had already crossed the trajectory of the blazing light, stabbing fiercely at the gap in his armor. neck.

"Hey...in remorse..."

He couldn't help but want to let out a hearty laugh, and wanted to use his perception to show a malicious smile to the hateful human who exposed him.

However, the unspoken words suddenly stuck in his throat, and the severe pain from the right side of his neck made his voice stop abruptly.

A long steel sword that was slow and without any wind sound or trajectory got stuck in his neck like cutting wood.Blood gushed out from the cut wound.

The drow warrior's eyes were full of shock, because of the sensory feedback brought about by the blind battle, he didn't feel anyone nearby at all.

This long sword seemed to have been conjured out of thin air, and it didn't reveal its sharpest fangs until it touched his neck.

"how do you……"

His words were full of disbelief, but as the blade trembled again, the pain in his neck intensified, and then he felt his center of gravity suddenly lost balance, and gradually recovered his weak vision to tell him.

He is in heaven now...

At the same time, the last picture of the brain consciousness feedback that has not been completely suspended.

It was the scene where the human who had escaped Lord Elise's magic at night retracted his long sword.

And under the gloomy sky, the extremely indifferent golden beast eyes...

　Difficult~ Uh huh, good night.
