Shadow Covenant

Chapter 91 "Goodbye in the Study"

Avoiding the perception of "blind combat" is very simple. As long as you don't show killing intent or attacking intentions to him, and keep a certain distance, it will be difficult for him to detect you.

Of course, the above requirements are simple to sum up, but in actual combat, you will find it extremely difficult.

Only Woody, who has rich combat experience with "blind combat" opponents, can use such a simple but effective sword.

……

The chilling atmosphere on the bridge completely disintegrated with the fall of the drow warrior, but at this moment everyone was silent, as if time and space were frozen, and many noble guards looked at the noble boy standing there with complicated eyes .

gratitude?ashamed?Or puzzled?

All kinds of emotions are intertwined in the heart, it is difficult to express, there is only a faint smell of blood in the air along with the sea breeze sweeping across the blue waves, and the sound of armor colliding can be heard in the distance.

The noble guards in other positions have already noticed the strangeness here and started to rush over.

"Thank you for your help! My name is Vele Tahan."

The captain of the guard took off the silver half-helmet and hugged it in front of the breastplate, revealing his resolute and simple face. At this moment, he walked towards Woody and said.

Sweat had soaked his forehead, and his blond hair was clumped together.

"It's alright, it's a job."

Woody withdrew his long sword and frowned slightly. He remembered this drow warrior. He was on the right side of his encirclement on the night he met the spider drow, and he had a deep memory.

If it hadn't been for the unexpected use of the flashing stone that blinded him just now, this battle might not have been as straightforward as this.

"No matter what, the Tahan family will remember your help and give you back... You can go now, and I can handle the affairs here, if you don't want to attract too much attention."

It has to be said that, as the city gate guard, Weller is quite sophisticated. Seeing Woody frown slightly, he immediately took the initiative to suggest to him.

"Then please."

Woody nodded, glanced at the drow warrior lying motionless on the ground, and nodded in agreement.

However, when he passed by Weller, he said quickly in the guard captain's ear in a very fast and low tone.

"Other city guards are equally suspicious, be careful!"

After finishing speaking, Woody, who regained his natural expression, got into the carriage and left the bridge gate under the eyes of a group of people.

"What are you looking at, come and give me a hand, and carry this Black Pedro's body to the temple."

Weller ordered, while subconsciously thinking about Woody's warning just now.

Then he whispered to a confidant Weiwei.

Soon, the order for all the noble guards to come to the school grounds to assemble reached the ears of every guard.

……

After entering the aristocratic area, it seems to be affected by the martial law, or because of Drow, there are a lot fewer pedestrians and carriages on the road.

Soon, the outline of the wine estate appeared in Woody's field of vision.

After getting off the carriage and entering the manor, Woody immediately looked for the nearest servant and asked her aunt's location.

It turned out that she had just returned from going out and was dealing with business matters in the study.

Naturally, Woody walked to the second floor of the manor non-stop. The door of the study room was not closed this time, as if he had already predicted his arrival.

"You're back!"

As soon as Woody's feet stepped on the brown wood floor of the room, the mellow and mellow voice of Aunt Susan Edith, like wine pouring into a glass, came from inside.

"Auntie, I..."

Woody looked at the lady who was smiling at him. He had already prepared a draft in the carriage, but when he needed it, he found that he couldn't speak a word.

……

"What's the matter, hesitating? Or do you want to tell me the story of the lucky one? About your romantic trip with her on the beach?"

Susan Edith was smiling and joking.At this time, the lines of her cheeks changed from the usual coldness to roundness, the light blue pupils reflected the shadow of a young man, her eyelashes danced with the candlelight, and her long dark golden hair was spread on her shoulders like silk, Cooperating with the fuchsia retro long skirt that outlines the slender lines of the body, it gives people a feeling that she no longer has the grace of a nobleman, but has an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Woody took a deep breath, he closed the door, and then calmly looked at the lady standing in front of the windowsill and said.

"It's not about that, I want to ask about Drow, why did you do this?"

His expression became decisive, his tone became firm, and before Susan could answer, he continued.

"Do you know it's very dangerous? If you do this, if you can't completely eliminate the drow, it will plunge the entire Edith family into a quagmire."

"At that time, not only you but also Veranduo may be in danger?"

Hearing Woody's words, Susan Edith was slightly taken aback and smiled.

"You know what?"

"The whole of Palermo, including the seagulls in the dock area, knows to thank you for your heroic actions. How could I not know! This is much nobler than those noble knights who claim to have eight virtues, Your Excellency Susan."

Woody was slightly dissatisfied with her unauthorized actions and reckless actions, and there was a complaint in his tone.

"Isn't this impossible? I also wanted to hide it from them, but when I went to the temple, I didn't think of covering up the traces. I dealt with the drow purely on the spur of the moment. When the temple came to the door with an arrest warrant, my identity could no longer be concealed." Living."

"Also, didn't you tell me that to deal with danger, we must directly kill it at the source. This time, we caught a lot of fish in the noble area. The three viscounts and Earl Rhys expressed their most sincere wishes to us." Thank you."

Susan Edith had a half-smile smile on her face at this time, and she even joked about herself.

"But they are all just thanking you for attracting firepower for them. They know that most of the drow's focus will be on you next, so as to pour out their anger for the failure of their plan! You have become their shield, and it is Most effective shield!"

"Countless pairs of eyes are watching us now! It's okay to succeed, but they will accept the fruits of victory if they fail! At that time, I... Weilando, the servant of the entire manor! I will pay for your recklessness!"

"Do you know?!"

Seeing that Susan Edith was still teasing himself, Woody's anger rose from nowhere, and his tone became a little bit colder. In his opinion, the aunt in his impression has always been deep and steady.

This is also why he was relieved to tell her about Zall. He didn't call her name at the time because he believed that she would not act indiscriminately, making the situation uncontrollable.

But in the current situation, the danger has gradually spread. If Drow is not completely wiped out, Edith Manor will become the number one battlefield.

"I know!" Her words were so resounding.

"..."

"If you don't know, you can ask me...you know? But you know why..."

Woody was slightly taken aback, but also a little puzzled.

Susan Edith didn't answer right away, but walked from the window sill to the desk. Her graceful figure covered the candlelight behind her, and the backlight covered most of the room with her shadow.

"That day, Corvo said that the toxin on your body came from the most ferocious "Black Widow" in the underground, and that toxin was given to you by drow..."

Her tone this time was unhurried, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"Can……"

Woody's heart sank when he heard this, and he wanted to say something, but when he looked up and saw Susan Edith's serious eyes, he was speechless, and her cold and stern voice sounded immediately.

"I know! But I can't wait!"

"One minute and one second, I can't wait!"

……

　And at night... I feel weird when I write this kind of emotional drama, alas~ I still have to make use of my strengths and avoid my weaknesses.
