Shadow Covenant

Chapter 123 "What I saw in the morning"

The sunlight cut into blocks by the shutters poured into the house through the windows, warming the not-so-large room.

The high cries of seagulls have been transmitted through the roof, and the brain's thinking is gradually awakening.

This was the most solid sleep Woody had ever slept in. During the whole night, almost no movement woke him up, not even a mouse.

It may be that they have just experienced the war, and this group of animals that know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages has already fled.

But none of this has anything to do with smiling at him for the next day, getting dressed and sorting out his clothes.

Prepare to take advantage of the bright sunshine in the morning, go to the restaurant to have an unhurried breakfast, and then leave the mid-afternoon to the bustling Palermo.

The days to leave have entered the countdown, not even two days.

To be precise, they have to gather in the trade area tomorrow night.

Taking advantage of the daylight the next day, he had to leave the seaside city where the original owner had stayed for six years.

Go to the boundless wilderness to start a somewhat exciting business trip.

Although this is already familiar to Woody, and it doesn't even cause any waves, but the sense of oppression and the image of the corrupt mother tree wandering in the astral world still stimulates him to relax a little in his midnight dream from time to time. rhythm.

Although there are still three years, let him prepare to face the subsequent collapse of the wall of fate that will affect the entire multiverse, causing gods incarnate saints to descend into the mortal world, plus the female dragon from hell and the gangsters from the bottomless abyss. The arch fire of evil creatures.

It cannot be said that the entire multiverse is a mess, it can only be said that the material planes, the outer planes, and even the inner planes are all messed up.

Two gods of the elements appeared, directly dragging several fallen material planes into the inner plane.

Even if it is as strong as the largest material plane, with legends as many as dogs, and saints walking all over the place, there will be incidents of several cities being sacrificed by demons or destroyed by gods from time to time.

But even so, Woody is more inclined to go there.

Unlike the legendary Asenland, who has no gods descending, only three or two half-gods, big cats and kittens, when Terra’s sky collapses, it must be supported by someone or a god, and the gods will not just watch Seeing their largest faith ranch destroyed in this way, tens of billions of people, and the souls behind it, are enough to make them pay everything.

"Hey, why do I feel a lot lighter today, and my eyesight is obviously much better."

As soon as he went out, he walked through the garden paths where the dew hadn't disappeared, smelling the fresh air, Woody was keenly aware of the abnormality of his body, as if he had been completely reborn.

Not right.

Woody immediately clicked on the data panel with his thoughts, and sure enough, there was an unfamiliar prompt on the property page, and judging from the time point, it should have happened after he fell asleep.

Woody clicked on it quickly, and suddenly found that there was a constant blessing that he didn't know when he got it.

——"The majesty of the storm "gift": This is the recognition of the extremely proud bronze dragons to their human friends. From now on, your body will acquire some of the characteristics of the bronze dragon. When judging various environmental weather immunity, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, hot and cold, sunny and rainy battles, all have 3 points of environmental blessing, and get an additional 1 point of lightning damage, and due to the influence of the breath of the dragon, your Strength and Constitution attributes +1. "

——"This is the reward given by the bronze dragon to those who did well in the trial. However, the reward is often delayed for a while because of the dragon's reserve, but compared to the short time and lifespan of humans, it often waits for them to think about it Those who should be rewarded are no longer in this world, but there will still be a few lucky ones who get this gift! ——The basic ecology of dragons "Bronze Dragon Chapter"

……

When did this happen?

Woody was stunned for a while looking at the data on the property panel.

After all, this thing came unexpectedly, he was not prepared at all, and according to this data information.

In other words, last night, the legendary bronze dragon was watching him without his knowledge...

Countless possibilities flickered in Woody's mind instantly, but what lingered in his mind at the moment was still about his cheap father.

It seems that it has a lot to do with that legendary bronze dragon.

This gift is a powerful proof. Woody, who has dealt with metal dragons and even received a golden dragon gift "Glory of Justice" for a certain character, understands that this kind of gift is only possible if the relationship is so good that it is difficult to attach it. Will take such care of the descendants of future generations.

So... can I ask this bronze dragon directly for help?

Woody is lagging behind, but definitely not a slow mover.

So he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he went directly to Aunt Susan.

Susan, who has been busy all night but is still energetic, is slowly sorting out the affairs of the winery today. When she saw Woody come to ask about the bronze dragon, she was naturally very surprised and curious about how he got the news.

Naturally, Woody couldn't tell the reason for the system panel, so he could only tell the news about the bronze dragon that he knew from Angelina.

Tell her directly.

After hearing that it was a companion who had been on an underground expedition, Susan nodded slightly at first, and then said in a rather awkward manner.

"She has already left here, and she had a lot of friction with your father. This help is purely an oath at the beginning."

This sentence is obviously lied by Susan Edith. After all, bronze dragons are kind dragons in nature, but they are not stupid, nor are they stupid enough to work for a human who has had a gap, even if there is The powerful oath ability makes it compelled to serve, but the gift attached to itself will never be forced by anyone.

But hearing this sentence, most of Woody's desire to ask her about the legendary bronze dragon was dispelled. It seems that there were some unspeakable things in the past, and since the bronze dragon has left, I am afraid that in a short time Could not be reached.

It seems that in the end, I can only rely on myself...

But there is good news. Susan also told Woody directly that the clues about the livestock he investigated yesterday had some clues. The people in the ruling hall were very efficient under the pressure of the Earl, and it took almost no effort. , and checked out the ships that transported livestock to sea in the near future.

There are five ships in total.

Except for a merchant ship carrying cattle and sheep to the north, the remaining four livestock were all transported to the south. In the past few days, the news can be heard through the passenger pigeons passing through the port, and the murderer can be found out soon. The chamber of commerce or the family behind the ship has also been secretly followed by the governing hall.

Woody nodded after hearing this. This is the power that a city has when necessary.

"I suspect it's the Lutov family. The other four suspected merchant ships are not related to the Edith family, only Lutov..."

Susan Edith said this name with a chill on her pretty face. Obviously, the only thing missing now is the evidence from the other ships. As soon as the evidence arrives, the evidence against the Lutov family's murderer can be said to be certain.

If they can't explain the direction of the livestock reasonably and legally, then some spells that should be used will tell everyone the truth.

The casters of the temple and the governing hall, under the blessing of the ritual circle, their ability to distinguish lies is not so high.

What's more, even if the nobles have the means to avoid it, the sailors of the ship sailing to sea cannot deceive people.

Most ordinary people in Asenland are powerless in the face of spellcasters.

"That's good. Now that the murderer behind the scenes has surfaced, the next step is simple, let him pay the price he should pay."

It was also rare for Woody to show killing intent, but he didn't intend to rush directly to vent his anger recklessly. For the nobles, in fact, what was more uncomfortable than killing him was letting them witness the delisting of their noble honor.

If the incident behind this incident is really what Susan thought, then the Viscount of Palermo will be one less if nothing unexpected happens.

But just as Woody and Susan were discussing the suspicion of the Lutov family, Cromwell came in from outside the study.

First he glanced at Woody, and then with Susan's nod of affirmation, in front of Woody, he told the explosive news he had just learned.

"Madam, according to the spies' report, the two brothers of the Lutov family...disappeared."

Susan stood up immediately, with a look of surprise but at the same time surprise.

"Absconding in fear of crime? Now it seems that I will not call myself!"

She ordered immediately and waved.

"Where can the two nobles who are nothing go! The port has been blocked, Cromwell, you go to the Temple of Dawn and go to the Lutov Manor. They can't run too far!"

"Forget it, I'll go with you."

Susan seemed a little excited. After all, although this was a well-planned murder, the rewards behind it were equally astonishing.

A wine-making estate.

She has been thinking about it for a long time.

And Woody also spoke at this time.

"Auntie, let me go with you."
