Shadow Covenant

Chapter 130 "Decision"

In about 10 minutes, the carriage drove into the interior of the wine estate.

The wheels had just stopped on the marble floor that had been washed several times, but the murloc's blood stains could still be seen, and Woody jumped off directly with ease.

He returned to the wine estate for three reasons. Apart from telling Aunt Susan that the two nobles in the Lutov estate had died, and packing up his luggage for leaving, his main purpose of returning here was to see what he left behind. Invitation, whether to get a response.

In his plan, Angelina's animal form would make it easier for him to follow.

However, just as he walked into the hall, he bumped into Cromwell. After he asked where Susan was, he actually learned that she had gone out.

Woody could only leave with a little regret, ready to pack his bags, and let Cromwell pay attention to the message sent to him outside the manor by the way.

However, the deaths of Logan and Marco are not a big deal after all, and whether they know it or not has little impact.

He skipped it directly, and saved a lot of explaining.

After all, how do you know that the two brothers Marko and Logan are dead, and where their bodies are now? These questions are not easy to answer. He doesn't want to tell them some of the wonders he owns prematurely.

After all, there is a precedent of Metamorphosis. To a certain extent, he is still not sure whether there are still a group of spies that he does not know in Palermo. This is why he insists on solving the current situation in his heart. The reason why he was willing to leave Palermo.

The destruction of the drow city is a foregone conclusion.

As the same vengeful creatures, they cannot retaliate against the bronze dragon that directly destroyed their city, but they can easily blame the instigator, such as Susan Edith who caused the fuse of the underground expedition, and killed Zhuo at the gate of the city. Woody Alester of Elf Warrior.

If he didn't expect it, drow should have known that he was the human noble who escaped with the help of a canal in the forest that night. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the anger and anger that the metamorphic spider showed when it looked at him. consternation.

If it's just a sneak attack, it's hard to pile up that kind of hateful gaze.

……

At this time, a sweet voice came over.

As soon as Woody looked up, he saw a blond girl lying on the railing on the second floor with a surprised face and wearing a cute and fluffy pink nightdress.

The disturbance last night seemed to make her sleep until just now, and behind her was a group of maids who were preparing to change her clothes.

"Good day, Willandot."

Woody raised his face and showed a smile, and Verando returned the same bright smile. For some reason, seeing her smile, the haze about Drow in Woody's heart dissipated a lot.

After all, apart from those fights and killings, there are not these pleasant things in the world.

Kick kick.

Slippers mixed with the sound of footsteps on the steps from far to near. Veranduo trotted down all the way as before, but as soon as she got close to Woody, she smelled the unique soil smell on his body. She was slightly taken aback, and then asked in surprise, what? If Woody answered no, she would drag him now and give him a bath on the spot.

"Didn't you take a shower yesterday? Cousin Woody." Xiao Nizi's voice trembled a little, obviously she was overthinking it.

"of course not!"

"I've been out for a while, and the smell of dirt is inevitable."

Woody spread his hands. After all, he came up from a depth of [-] meters underground not long ago, and he didn't have time to clean up the dirt on his body.

Of course, it can also be said that he has long been used to it. After all, in most cases, he can always be out of tune with the exquisiteness and refinement of nobles.

"Okay...then have you had breakfast?"

"I'm starving to death, let's chat and eat."

After hearing Woody's explanation, although she didn't understand that Woody went out again early in the morning and didn't know how to rest at all, Veranduo still suppressed her distress. Since the previous persuasion was useless, then All she has to do is support.

So, she jumped directly to the next topic, eating.

Woody was about to answer just now, but due to the strenuous exercise just now, Woody's already shriveled stomach just made a very suitable sound.

- "Goo."

It was so clear and loud that Verando couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the voice, and immediately stepped forward to wrap his arms around him intimately.

"Today I heard that there are grilled lamb chops, smoked beef, and seafood..."

"Is the breakfast so rich?"

"I heard that this was specially ordered by my mother to reward the workers who repaired the mansion overnight this morning."

"Hey, is that so? That's still a good thing."

"No way, the biggest hero this time is cousin, how are you? My maid started talking about you, as if you saved her yesterday..."

"Um, no impression."

The voices of the two gradually disappeared in the corridor.

……

the other side.

In the deep and dark underground cave.

Rusting sounds can be heard everywhere in the ruins and rubble-covered city ruins. Groups of dark spiders are spinning their webs and silk here, and they are setting spider traps.

——"Strengthen the line of defense."

This was the first order issued by the remaining drow tribe leader Curea just after arriving at the ruins of the gray dwarf city.

Once the line of defense is set up, you can avoid the scene of being attacked without knowing it.

After all, the danger has not been lifted. Even if they have arrived at a distance of more than ten passages from the original city, with a depth difference of 50 meters, they cannot relax.

At this time, Currea was using a spider spell to treat a drow elf whose body was scorched and whose appearance could no longer be seen.

Judging from the scepter placed beside the scorched body and the torn priest's robe, the injured drow's status was not low.

I saw this drow mage who had gone through the facial tattooing ceremony, which left him with a large spider-shaped red scar on his face. He was chanting softly with a stern face, and tapped his slender black jade fingers lightly. A spider emblem.

As soon as the voice fell, a flashing red spiritual light suddenly appeared on the emblem, as if it could be manipulated, and immediately enveloped the scorched drow's body lying on a stone slab.

Then, under the lying stone slab, countless black spiders suddenly emerged from the corner of the ruins, and under his command, this large group of spiders rushed towards the scorched drow, and soon It spread all over the body, and then penetrated into her body through various passages of the body, such as the mouth, ears, nose, and even the belly button, as if going home...

——"Spider therapy."

Using the vitality of spiders to make up for one's own magical spider spells is almost one of the must-learn spells for every spider mage.

After releasing this spell, Cureya's face was a little pale, and it was still a bit reluctant to overdraw the spell slot to cast spells, but this was the only spell that could save Elise, and it had to be like this every day.

After that war, Elise suffered from the backlash of the spider queen's heirs. Before returning to the plane, the summoned violent demon spider transferred all the damage suffered by the incarnation to Elise. So much so that she seemed to be directly hit by the thunder light, and her whole body was shocked on the outside and tender on the inside.

But fortunately, with the uninterrupted treatment for the past few days, this "corpse" that was almost charred finally came back to life, with heaving chest.

"Ku... Ya, I... am I...?"

I don't know whether it was due to the body's tenacious will to survive, or the effect of Curea's continuous use of spider therapy in the past few days, the comatose Elise finally woke up.

She opened her pair of eyes that had already been blown blind, and spit out an inarticulate underground language, with a dazed, but extremely painful expression.

Obviously talking is a burden for her now.

"The ruins of the gray dwarves."

Cureya saw the rare gentleness on the face of the awakened Elisa, patted the back of her hand, and said.

"Don't worry, we are already safe. You just need to rest here these days, and there is no need to talk about other things."

His expression is rarely seen by anyone, but Elise is the only exception.

In fact, compared to most of the drow who followed Elisa to the West Coast Underdark, they hoped that Elise would succeed. Most of them hoped that the priest or family they chose would succeed, because they would also If you can follow the light, the road to promotion will be smoother.

But he didn't want to.

The reason is that in the Underdark Region, Elise, as the priest of Korsust, is destined to dedicate everything to God in the future. She cannot marry, and she cannot even have a spouse. Their existence can not only demonstrate the mighty power of God , is to use the body to give birth to Kosuster's heirs that spread throughout the dark region of Asenland...

And as Elise's underground lover, he resented all of this, which was why he chose an advanced mage instead of a priest.

But today, he failed!
She failed!

The emotions accumulated and covered up in the past have already soaked through his body like a flood in the past few days.

Everything he imagined can finally be realized, and he can freely occupy it and claim his sovereignty over him.

He touched Eliza's skin more than once, although it was not as smooth as before, to please himself.

Especially when he looked at Elise, who was already blind in one eye, a morbid possessive desire emerged in his heart. He knew that she finally belonged to him.

Elise, who has endured the wrath of Korsust, has lost her qualification to believe in him.

Although he did not die, his status was vastly different from before. Perhaps life would be worse than death, which was the most terrible punishment he gave to his priests.

Like in the main drow city "Takia" under the endless wilderness, most of the fates of priests who have not died and lost their divine grace will be regarded as another gimmick, sent to the lowest status, and used to solve the physiological problems of drow warriors. Need to go inside the "House of the Red Spider".

Compared with the drow elves who were reduced to slaves in the family civil war, the former priest who lost the favor of God and was punished can even arouse the male desire to conquer under the oppression of women.

"Tsk tsk, master, you and Lady Elise are really a match made in heaven."

Just as Cureya hugged Elise to help her fall asleep, while patiently removing the burnt parts of her body, a neutral and hoarse voice came from somewhere.

Cureya didn't lift it up, and just flicked the ring in his hand to light up, and flew towards the direction of the sound with a flurry of wind.

——"Level [-] Monster Summoning Technique."

I saw a subterranean wolf the size of a calf flickering faintly, rushing towards the target pointed by the caster, but before it could swing out its sharp claws or bite its sharp teeth, it let out a cry and fell silent immediately. , only the sound of slow chewing and tearing of flesh and blood in the darkness.

After a while, the creature in the darkness showed its appearance. It was an extremely huge spider, about the size of a gray dwarf's second-story house, but unlike ordinary spiders, its body was not so much a round ball as it was a round ball. It was an inverted pot lid, and in the center of the pot lid was a green ball that no other spider had. Surrounding the ball were green meridians like blood vessels covering the surface of the back.

"The master still understands me!"

Luzani, the metamorphic spider who was full of food and drink, immediately put on a flattering voice. Although it is also a spellcaster, it is only a warlock and cannot specify the spells it comprehends by itself. Therefore, like Currea, it uses spells from itself. It can't do the feeding operation at all.

"Aren't you going to solve the hand tail? How about it, things are going well! Have the two humans been solved?"

Currea didn't take the words of his contracted familiar, but asked about the degree of completion of the purpose of his trip.

"Master, it's resolved, but..."

Lu Zhani first spat out two human corpses from her abdomen, and then said a little nervously that although she had accomplished her goal, the other goal was messed up.

"But what?"

"But I didn't get the gray dwarf staff you gave me."

"Why, didn't they bring it?"

Currea frowned slightly, a little confused, but after hearing the complaints from his familiar, he was immediately stunned.

It was cut off by a human.

"I was worried that I would have to live to tell the master the news, otherwise I would fight him on the spot! The human strength is actually not strong. When I transform into a giant stag beetle, he can't even do anything to me."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhani still had some displeasure on her face, as if she wished she could go back to the past now, and have a fight with the humans who no longer knew where they were, to show her loyalty.

"The human who escaped under Elise?"

"Yes!"

"It looks seventeen or eighteen years old, and his aunt is the human noblewoman who destroyed our plan! They all deserve to die!"

Lu Zhani added with a look of resentment.

"Okay, I get it, they're all going to die, don't worry, we'll be back on the ground in a while!"

What Luzani said, Curea was not too worried, but frowned slightly. The terrain advantage of the Underdark Region is here. As long as it is not a legend, it will not stir up too many waves in her heart.

Like Elise, her goal was never limited to a few humans, but a city.

Taking revenge on a few people won't solve the problem, she just wants to bring a city to be buried with her.

However, she still made a target for Woody's strange thing that can walk through the soil, and it is very simple.

Currea directly summoned a group of rock spiders that could enter the soil, and let them scatter around the walls of the cave to serve as outposts in the soil.

As long as there is movement nearby, it will never be hidden from them who also have tremor perception.

When Lu Zhani heard Curea's arrangement, she left contentedly and did not bother the couple anymore.

And she is now fantasizing about the next encounter with that human being.

A trap like this, once again, will definitely make that hateful human remember deeply!
