Shadow Covenant

Chapter 142 "Leaving the Underdark"

……

Brass-colored rivets are nailed into the joints of the armguard, which look like shining gems dotted with each other from a distance, and a row of data is also displayed after Woody starts.

——"Morning Star Gauntlets."

——"Item effect: This iron gauntlet made of magic pattern steel is the medal of honor of the most loyal royal knight in the Kingdom of Kalia. When you take it in the Kalia area, your reputation will increase significantly , and after wearing the gauntlet, the weight of any item held by the gauntlet will be reduced (-3KG), and those below 3KG will not be affected. In addition, because of the magic pattern steel, the wearer can wear two pairs of gloves at the same time, and will not be affected by the effect conflict."

——"It was once said that when the Kalia knights charged under the morning stars with their swords, their armor was like wearing morning stars, and they acted in the dark like a galloping galaxy descending from the world. Therefore, Proverbs Appears—the stars are immortal, the kingdom of Kalia is immortal!——"The Millennium History of the Kingdom of Kalia""

……

"How about it, do you want to take a look?"

Seeing Woody's rather moved expression, Angelina knew that the item seemed to be able to be sent out this time. She was worried that it would be returned, but looking at the current situation, worrying was unnecessary.

"It's very handy and easy to use. By the way, have you found anything else besides this?"

Woody put on this iron gauntlet, which is much lighter than in his hands. It is estimated that the material is mixed with mithril. After that, he even took out the curved sword and danced a few gorgeous sword flowers in the void. It turned out that the curved sword, which was originally slightly heavy, had lost a lot of weight and became more dexterous and lighter, as the data said. Even though he knew it, Woody couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He said truthfully, and began to ask The information on the remaining parts, after all, the effect of this kind of suit gauntlet may not be obvious, but after superposition, the attribute is called a little legend.

"No, there's only this gauntlet there, I'll go down and have a look."

Hearing Woody's words, Angelina thought she had missed something good, subconsciously proposed to go down to look for it, Woody naturally followed, one person and one shark merged into the torrent again, but in less than 10 minutes, The tomb was searched by Woody and Angelina.

After Woody's third breath, seeing Angelina at the foot still did not give up and wanted to take him down to search again, but Woody stopped her directly.

Feeling her puzzled tone conveyed through telepathy, Woody reluctantly let go of the thorn in his hand.

"You don't need to look for it. Since you have found such a small gauntlet, the half-body armor, helmet, and greaves should be gone. It would be a waste of time to go any further. I am greedy."

The two of them have spent a lot of time here, and they have also searched the graves. If there is no one, it should be really gone. Timely stop loss is the kingly way. Now that time is precious, you can't just blindly buy it because of a piece of equipment that you don't know if you have it. Divide it all up here.

"Okay! Let's go then."

Angelina didn't force it either, she just wanted to help him as much as possible, and now that he chose to give up, she naturally had no point in persevering.

Therefore, if there are others watching, they can find the dark and deep cave slope, in the turbulent water flow all the way down.

A huge shark, taking the man on its back, along with its fins... riding the wind and waves.

……

The dock area of ​​Palermo is still bustling, with a mingled flow of people. It was not affected by the previous earthquake at all. Ships sailed in and out of the port one by one. In the slightly gloomy weather, it added a little vitality to the whole city. .

"Hey, have you heard that there is a big hole in the lake in the market, and the water level in the lake has dropped by two-thirds!"

"Market, which market?"

"It's under our feet."

Whispering and whispering spread back and forth in this not-so-big hotel lobby, Woody looked at the sky outside boredly, until Angelina came down from the second floor of the hotel, and then withdrew the hand supporting his chin.

"What's the matter, does the medicine work?"

"They are all asleep, it should be effective, I can see that Lin's back limbs are starting to shrink."

Angelina nodded affirmatively with joy on her face.

"Then let's go, the seller, I have asked my housekeeper to contact him, and he is waiting for us to have afternoon tea in a restaurant."

It was already half a day after Woody came back from the underground. Although it took a lot of effort underground, there was a shortcut to return to Palermo faster than expected. It was still morning when he entered, and it was noon when he came out.

Returning to the shore from the sea, no one expected the two of them to swim back and forth in the dark area for half a day.

After that, Woody was busy working for Angelina's office, which was the first agreement. Although she planned to go out to practice, but because of the master, she had to stay in Palermo and wait. She was forced to do so before. But now that she had a good fortune in risky money, plus the means to control the curse, she was, in essence, just as happy to be in the coastal city herself.

Woody also contacted Cromwell and asked him to help find sellers interested in selling houses in the trade zone. Unlike the Interstellar Age, any sale can be finalized through the Internet, just like the sale of houses in the aristocratic district. It is impossible to even have the right to purchase the houses in the trade zone, because a decent job and a clean family background are indispensable.

Woody originally wanted to prepare for them to apply for the official status of the local aboriginal people, but considering the state of Lin and the others, he gave up, and let Angelina take them to the city hall to apply for it. , anyway, as long as you have money, you can do this.

"Oh, that would be great, thank you, Woody."

When the monk girl heard that there was news about the house, her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't wait to drag him out of the hotel door. She looked a little nervous along the way, although she had already exchanged the underground harvest for a lot of money through channels. Although her wealth has depreciated slightly because of the quick sale, in general, she doesn't care about the gains and losses of some benefits. She just wants to buy a house as soon as possible and have a place to live in.

The two soon came to the restaurant. The seller was a businessman with a big belly. After seeing Woody, he came up to shake hands kindly and respectfully called him "Master Aleister."

After realizing that he just wanted to sell the house here and was going to live in another place, and also urgently needed a sum of cash, the two hit it off immediately. Under Woody's guarantee, a house sale was over within 5 minutes.

Guests are happy.

After that, Angelina took Woody to look at the new house she bought. It was a simple two-story western-style building. For the manor, it was only an ordinary residence, but for living in the slums all year round, it was never For Angelina who has not left the slums, holding the keys to the house in her hand is much more satisfying than being transformed into a megalodon. After all, the former is a scene that has lingered in her dreams countless times.

She restrained the surge in her heart, and under the guidance of the merchant's remaining servant, in the voice of Miss Angelina one by one in her mouth, she looked left, touched right, and finally... She looked at Woody.

This time, there are not many commendable behaviors, the environment and the secretion of dopamine promote the germination of desire.

Anyway, when they left, both of them understood the difference this time, and it might take a long time to see each other again, so although it was the first time, it was extra crazy.

Well, it has to be said that the role of the spider legs made him finally understand why some of the former aboriginal teammates or players especially loved taverns with lycanthrope waitresses.

……

After Woody came out of Angelina's house again, the night was already dark, the stars were shining brightly, and the moon hung high, which seemed to indicate a good weather tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, he will embark on a journey to the Northland. This night, he chooses to return to live in the wine estate, and is going to give Aunt Susan and Willando a farewell gift, which contains the detailed planning for them. future.

At least he couldn't let them rely on him for all their hopes. He still hoped that they would have a little bit of self-protection before going to the next level.

He prepared a set of plans for his aunt and Verando. Originally, he wanted to wait until he found the Star Whale before giving them to the two, but because of Angelina's words, he planned to start preparing now, but due to time constraints Relationship, the plan is actually not sufficient, some scattered, roughly similar to some kind of game strategy, most of what he told Susan was about ways to earn gold coins in the future, he picked out some that he could remember, and could get them back I told her everything.

For example, the future war in the Northland has caused a long-term shortage of fur in the south. In the next few years, the fur from the Northland will gradually appreciate in value until the arrival of the mother tree. With the reduction of gold and silver in the market, luxury goods and works of art should be sold as soon as possible. These are relatively safe ways of making money that he has prepared based on the future changes of Asenland. As for improving his strength, Woody wants to let her go to the Goddess of Wojin Faith, when the time comes to earn enough money, she will directly sign the Dragon Clan Covenant and let the giant dragon work for her.

After all, in the final analysis, Susan Edith is old, and she has nothing to do with professionals. The only choice is the power obtained by relying on faith and wealth, but the shrine of the goddess of wealth, Wojin It is a problem, coupled with future turmoil and disputes, we can only take one step at a time.

But even if you can't follow the path of the Goddess of Wealth, you can actually invest all of it in Verlando. The career advice he gave her was related to structures and machinery. He remembered that the library of St. Lawrence had relevant knowledge. , and there are relics of the mechanical empire nearby, if handled well, her strength and future will not be inferior to her to a certain extent.

As we all know, the golem legion that can defeat an army, or even a kingdom, is the product of the group of spellcasters who indulged in the construct. With his strategy to guide the entry, and the support of his mother's wealth, it is enough for her When facing peers, he has a good confidence.

All in all, Woody wrote these life-changing game strategies from his memory on the parchment that he would show to the two of them. As for the explanation, he shirked it to his mysterious alchemist who traveled to the mainland After all, he is more convincing and convincing as he travels around the world.

As soon as he arrived at the manor, Woody heard a slightly lively girl's voice

"Welcome home, Cousin Woody!"

Wei Landuo smiled sweetly. She originally thought that the last meeting was goodbye, but she didn't expect to get together again. This kind of surprise was enough to make her overjoyed.So when Cromwell took his words to the back.She had been looking forward to it at the gate of the manor, and now she finally came back.

"Do you want to be so grand, Willandot?"

Woody greeted casually and said with a smile, but what he didn't expect was that Weilando rarely answered, but stared blankly at his face.

This made Woody a little suspicious, thinking that there was something on his face, he wiped it with his hands, and asked.

"What's wrong? Are you stupid?"

"No... no, I think you've changed."

Wei Landuo quickly defended.

"Changed?" Woody was a little puzzled.

"It's changed to look better." Wei Landuo said with a blushing face.

After hearing this, Woody was slightly taken aback, then immediately understood, and he replied with a smile.

"Nonsense, I've always looked good."

He directly typed a haha ​​and skipped the topic.

He knew that if the previous appearance was just plain with a simple baby face, but after the two points of charm given by the gift of legend and the Ring of Soul Eater, his 14 points of charm really surpassed others by a lot. Although it can't reach the beauty of the country, it is enough to be a blessing when communicating with strangers, or a good sympathy degree.

Veranduo didn't struggle too much, after all, for her, she valued Woody more than his face.

"Mom will be back soon, let's have dinner together."

"Well, that's fine too."

Although he had already eaten dinner, thinking back to the battle just now, Woody felt that it would be okay to have another meal.

Soon, Susan Edith's carriage also returned to the wine estate, and Woody accompanied the mother and daughter for the last dinner, so they felt that Woody had changed one more place.

That is very edible...

After the meal, Woody took advantage of the chat and handed the prepared strategies to the two of them respectively, and told them to open it after he left. As for Verando, he would wait until St. Lawrence to open it.

Although I don't know if they will keep their promises, at least they won't bother me today.

When I returned to the room at night, the dark clouds that had condensed for a day seemed to have completely dissipated, and there was only a beautiful and boundless starry sky lying on the sky.

The light of the moonlight is faint, and he will leave tomorrow, Woody's mentality will inevitably fluctuate, especially today's matter...

Bored, he began to organize the equipment and items in the dimensional ring to prevent mistakes.

But at this moment, he felt that the air around him suddenly became cold. He thought it was because the windows were not closed, but considering his physique as a demon hunter, even if he didn't wear any clothes, the cold wind in November would not be able to affect him. , and then he saw that in the pile of sundries he had just taken out, a group of amorphous transparent mist floated erratically above, and gradually thickened and formed above an exceptionally familiar black leather book.The mist slowly formed a vague image of a young girl—a translucent girl ghost wearing a princess dress and a sword-shaped brooch with a castle as the background pinned to her shoulder.

Seeing this very familiar ghost, Woody suddenly remembered the leak he picked up in the market when he first came to this world.

Serial entrustment.
