Shadow Covenant

Chapter 131 "Omen"

Sunny afternoon.

Cromwell, who was dressed in standard butler attire, brought Woody the news he had been waiting for after the meal. He told Woody that he had just received a message from the lower levels, signed by the very familiar Angelina, The information above told Woody that she agreed to go to the Underdark. Obviously, the girl monk had already thought it through. Not only did she convince her younger brother and sister, but she also made up her mind to follow Woody to an underground event that sounded a bit crazy. adventure.

The place is naturally the same as the old place, but before leaving, Veranduo asked him to wait before going out.

Woody, of course, agreed.

After all, he and Angelina did not agree on a time, so naturally they were not in a hurry, not to mention that the implementation of the plan would not be officially launched until tomorrow, and the meeting today was actually just to agree on the general plan, and to review the deduction, to observe the gray dwarves. Check out the diary to see if there are any omissions.

She came down quickly, holding a small cuboid box in her hand, which looked like a metal creation from the texture, Woody was slightly taken aback, this thing seemed familiar to him, but he was a little uncertain.

"Vilando, this is..." he asked.

Layers of overlapping thin scales can be clearly seen in the gaps of the metal cuboid in front of him, as well as the rice-grain-sized eyes emitting a faint red light in front of him, which seem to be constructed creatures.

"Steel King Snake, this is something my aunt gave me in St. Lawrence. It is said that it can protect me, but it is too scary. I have never dared to use it, so I will give it to you, if it can be used."

She stretched out her hands, and seemed to lightly touch a certain part of the rectangular box, which was less than one meter away. In an instant, the rectangular iron block came to life, amidst the rubbing sound of overlapping iron armor.

A metal-clad steel cobra more than three meters long appeared in Veranduo's hand. The snake's tail and body coiled along the arm, while the snake's head was raised high, and the skin folds of the open neck swelled to the sides. , full of momentum, and a little bit cute is that the protruding pattern on the neck of this steel cobra is in the shape of a butterfly festival full of girlish hearts.

Woody remembered that in many affluent areas in the south, many spellcasters have launched some specific and useful spell bodyguards and guards for nobles' daily travel and daily safety issues.

The "Steel King Snake" in Veranduo's hands is one of the most popular construct creatures. It can be made by the caster level 7, and the materials are simple. Like this one, only iron is needed, while others require the caster to have Specialties or spells such as "Construct Specialty, Animate Objects, Perceive Location, Gesture" and other specialties can be created.

As for strength, in addition to being able to rival a rogue with three professional levels in terms of stealth and killing, and in terms of protection, it can also be called absolutely concealed, and it doesn't emit any breath, not only that. It can also let it find and kill a specific creature within 1000 meters once a day, and it can manually fill the venom in its poison sac to enhance the killing. Generally, it is the toxin that fills the wound infection, which is deadly and effective, but A small number of strong acids, alchemical drugs, and even stranger liquids are used.

Woody knew that Veranduo was usually more interested in the Machine Empire, but he didn't expect that his aunt would do what she liked and gave her a construct directly.

"No, cousin, this is the ring to control it. After you put it on, it will tell you how to use it."

Verando handed over a girly rose-patterned ring, and Woody knew that this was similar to the proof of controlling the core of the golem.

"And even if you don't need it, you can think of me just by looking at it."

She said playfully, although the voice was not loud, but those lake blue eyes seemed to be able to speak, and with a simple look, all the reluctance and farewell were poured out.

"Okay, it's not that we won't see each other in the future. The separation this time is only short. We will spend a lot of time together in the future."

How could Woody turn a blind eye, but he could only sigh and pat Veranduo's head, comforting him.

The way he packed his luggage and clothes just now didn't hide from Veranduo, and her expression was quite calm just now, she didn't expect it to change so quickly.

"I know, but we haven't been separated for too long before, and we can see each other every week. Isn't it uncomfortable!"

Veranduo whispered, her moving voice was mixed with a little resentment and coquettishness. She found that the closer she was to her cousin, the more she would feel a kind of emptiness enveloped her when she was far away.

After hearing this, Woody just wanted to complain about his memory, as if the relationship between the former owner and her after puberty was not very good, especially after Woody fell in love with the tea master Grandia.

Of course, in fact, the essence is that the former owner has been troubled by the negative emotions brought about by inferiority and being dependent on others, which made him subconsciously reject people thousands of miles away, withdrawn and irritable, and rarely let go of those close to him, especially those who are related to him. nearest relatives.

In order to take care of Willando's emotions, Woody naturally said very readily.

"Don't worry so much, Vilando, nothing unexpected, after you enjoy a wonderful spring in St. Lawrence, you will be able to see me when the roses in the city are in full bloom."

After hearing this, Weilando was obviously much happier, but she thought of something and hesitated.

"Well, but you were talking about summer last time."

"It doesn't matter if it's early, anyway, it's not as long as you think."

Woody was helpless.

……

Woody lingered in his mind that if he couldn't find the astral whale, he would hug the thigh of the monk behind Angelina.

Surely his words had a way of bringing some back to the Prime Material Plane.

He has also made plans, if he can't be persuaded, at worst he will make an oasis oath.

To build another oasis gathering place for the Far East that can accommodate 10 people, but this chip is not a last resort, and he doesn't want to set it up.

After all, the plan to raise the oasis will delay him for at least half a year or even more than a year. Most of this time will be spent on territorial affairs, and there will be very little time for him to exercise and grow. The tide of the universe is very unfavorable, and it will also make him miss many famous and big events, thus losing the opportunity to get a share of it.

But if it is really impossible to leave Asenland by then, then his final ending will only be trapped to death in this increasingly distorted plane, and the price of a year is nothing.

Of course, he still hopes that this trip to the Northland will be rewarding. At best, he should try to avoid spending his best years on the road to building a beautiful home.

It may be good to do this kind of thing after the legend, but before the legend, it will only hinder him from completing the advanced legend and the speed of the trial of destiny. Before he has enough strength, Woody does not feel that he must shoulder the responsibility of changing the world. Fate, he is just a very ordinary person who just wants to make himself and the people around him better.

That's it.

……

When he walked out of the wine estate in the carriage again, there was another silver ring on Woody's finger, and there was also a hissing sound when gold and iron rubbed against each other inside the carriage.

On the way to the outside of the city, Woody involuntarily rubbed the removed exterior decoration, a much simpler ring. Although this is not the first time he has obtained a construct creature, he has manipulated a golem in the previous life, but it is so small This is the first time he has used snakes. After all, this kind of thing is basically eliminated in the middle of the level, and the miscellaneous fish are not counted. After all, its data is converted into a challenge level, and it can barely reach 2.

"Steel King Snake [constructed creature] (first order)."

"Challenge level 2, creature level 3, has sentience."

"The highest attribute is 15 points, the lowest attribute is 1 points, and the total attribute value is 40-50 points."

"Special expertise: poison, perception target, iron will, construction characteristics."

"Challenge Difficulty: D-."

……

However, the filling of the poison sac is quite useful. It seems that some demon hunter's potions can be put in it, and the effect will not be worse than ordinary poison.

Moreover, it seems that its use is not limited to sneak attacks, but also...

Serve as a first responder on the battlefield.

When he has no time to swallow the potion, or when he is restrained and unable to move, he can let it help him drink the potion.

It is more convenient and quicker to inject the potion directly into the blood with the teeth.

Moreover, taking medicine in this way is extremely concealed, and the other party will not even be aware of it.

The more Woody thought about it, the more his heart moved. With a thought, the "silver snake" made of metal climbed up from the bottom of the carriage along the pillars like a swimming dragon until it was at eye level.

"Open your mouth."

Consciousness transmission, this big steel snake stood upright as if a seriously ill patient saw a doctor, and opened the snake throat made of steel and iron obediently. Some outlines inside the throat of the snake are vividly displayed under the protrusions and depressions of the steel.

Its special poison sac is on the top of the upper jaw of the snake head. Woody reached in and groped, and found that the space inside was not too small, just enough to hold a bottle of alchemy potion. Do not go.

……

When I saw Angelina again, it was when the waves in the afternoon beat against the offshore reef waves one after another.

The girl who is working hard on self-training is carrying a weight heavier than her body, and is starting her penance on the beach. When she heard footsteps, Angelina raised her head, her face was clean but slightly His dark face was covered with sweat.

"Long time no see, Lord Woody! When I finish this exercise, 299, 300..."

She shouted in surprise, now she has already dispelled the demons of the past, and is concentrating on the work in hand, but Woody's arrival also made her stagnate for a moment, but soon started to work again.

After [-] leapfrogs, the girl who showed unprecedented perseverance ignored the sweat and sticky clothes, and sat on the ground directly, leaning against a boulder, and on top of the boulder, Woody was looking at Qianfanhai in the distance scenery.

The warm sun in the sky coated the waves of the sea with a layer of gold, as if golden threads were dancing with the sparkling sea surface, like playing music, and the thin clouds led to the sea The reflected blue is extremely pure. From a distance, the entire Qianfanhai looks like a huge sapphire inlaid on the ground.

"Angelina, look, Qian Fanhai is so beautiful at this moment!"

After knowing Angelina's arrival, this was Woody's first opening sentence. When he left, he still felt a little melancholy, so that the ordinary scenery seemed so unforgettable.

"There's nothing to see, it's more beautiful when there's no wind."

The monk girl leaning against the rock and gasping for breath knew exactly what kind of scenery Woody was looking at without raising her head.

As Angelina, who grew up in a slum and by the sea, the ebb and flow of the waves and the scenery of the sky and the sea have far less impact on her than a full meal.

"What about Lin and the others?"

Woody asked a random question.

"I handed it over to the uncle next door to take care of it. Qian and Jia Luo followed your instructions and bought holy water to suppress it, but the condition of Lin and Florie is not very good..."

Speaking of this, Angelina frowned slightly, her expression full of worry.

"So when will we leave the city and go to the Underdark! If you don't know the way, I can take you there. I went there last time."

Obviously, the tragic situation of the two younger siblings has made her want to leave every minute and every second. It's fine if she turns into a monster. She doesn't want her younger siblings to change like this. She only hopes that they can Live a normal life, just be safe.

"Tomorrow, but you don't need to go out of the city. You can just wait for me in the black market." Woody said without hesitation, this plan has been held back in his heart for a long time.

"The black market?" Angelina really looked puzzled, wondering what the connection between the black market and the Underdark was, even though it was also underground.

"I plan to enter the Underdark from there!"

"What? From there? Impossible! There are no other passages there, and I haven't found any passages to the Underdark in the black market for three years?"

The more Angelina listened, the more confused she became, when did the black market get hooked up with the Underdark.

Woody just smiled and explained.

"Then do you remember the first time I went to the black market, the white tip shark I rescued at the fish shop?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"I saw it in the deep water pool at the end of the passageway in the cave of the shark-lizard beast's lair, and that is the deep pool you said you used it to escape from. Your task later is to go to the water leading to it Go down the passage, you use this to block it..."

Woody said that he would also take out a stone covered with exquisite cipher text from the ring.

"What... what? What is this?"

Angelina was dumbfounded when she heard the news.

"The small earth element core rail, this is a magical treasure that can communicate with the earth element plane, as long as you let it touch the rock, it will quickly multiply like spores."

Speaking of this, Woody was a little embarrassed, because the material used for this strange thing he had just made was the elemental core of the giant earth monster he had sold to the Mystic Shack earlier. After tossing and turning, he finally returned to his own feel in hand.

"That's fine, but are we going from the water to the Underdark?"

Angelina has already somewhat understood Woody's explanation, and also understands why she is going to gather at the black market tomorrow, her amber eyes have already started to shine.

"That's right, I'll need you then."

"At that time, we will bring the wrath of the sea and return to the dark region of darkness!"

When Woody said this, although his head was lowered to look at the monk girl under the rock, his words were so resounding, and he raised his head.

"So, when the time comes, let's let the group of drow play more happily in the waves of the sea, how about it?"

He reached down to the girl in the shadows.

And the monk girl, who had already been aroused by Woody's words, blushed, as if she saw the black-skinned elf floating in the sea, and said decisively.

"it is good!"

As for Woody, he felt a slender and powerful hand holding his palm.

Just like the original oath.
