Shadow Covenant

Chapter 144 "Business Travel"

After getting down safely, Woody was in the mood to check the flashing information prompts. Rows of data appeared in his retina one by one, as if they were business travelers waiting to enter the city.

——"You are affected by severe poison...The determination of the constitution poison immunity begins...."

——"Successful addition of skill points... Your immunity is 29 → 50 points, and your immunity has been improved at a deeper level..."

——"Extraordinary selected skills to improve the target... The target is "immune"... Your immune skill has been improved by LV1 (50 points). In any judgment, your immunity will be equal to 100 points of immune judgment."

——"Immunity is enhanced, and the immunity judgment is successful."

——"Lethal toxin turns into chronic toxin... You will receive 50 points of toxin damage accumulatively in the next day."

……

These reactions are almost engraved in the DNA. When Woody first discovered the attack by the hidden black hand targeting him, he felt the weakness of his body. He naturally used the remaining skill points without hesitation. upgrade target.

It's just like meeting the drow that day, but this time the opponent is even stronger.

Spiritual thoughts from the gods.

He lowered his head to look at the natural shrine that still emits murmurs and venomous whispers. The blood-red light has completely covered up the gray and white material of the shark lizard's skull, making it look extraordinarily creepy, but fortunately, the natural shrine can hold his Most of the abilities are easily blocked. If it is him, then he really has nothing to do with this divine sense.

Fortunately, in the last life, the magical function of shrines has long been popularized. The first time Woody discovered the invasion of divinity, he took out the natural shrine, and used the shrine that also contained the will of the world tree to deal with the hatred from the bottomless abyss. goddess.

The only pity is that the shrine that she worked so hard to make has been abandoned and cannot be used, unless she has other ways to control this divine sense, handing it over to the temple in this area may be a good choice in Terra.

But now that the three foreign gods in Asenland are too busy to take care of themselves, it is almost difficult to deal with the divine thoughts of the Spider Goddess from the other end of the astral world just by relying on the indigenous gods here.

After all, they don't know anything about Rose's ability, let them face Rose, a pure dimensionality reduction blow.

In the end, Woodies thought about it, and with his weak body brought about by chronic toxins, he decided to put it by his side.

Because this is the safest way, discarding the divine sense that cannot be destroyed at present is no different from letting him go, and the consequences are also the same as choosing suicide.

He can only choose to do this, and keep this most dangerous thing by his side, so that the natural shrine will not lose its effectiveness, allowing the spirit inside to escape.

What's more, besides the occasional whispers in the ears, there is actually no risk, and there is no need to worry about Rose's follow-up revenge.

Because at this moment Rose's divinity has been wrapped by the will of the World Tree, the information he observed cannot be transmitted back to the body.

Therefore, even if the goddess is aware of the disappearance of this ray of divine thoughts, she will also be aware of the reason for the disappearance of this ray of divine thoughts, which is the extremely uncomfortable will of the World Tree. She will not suspect him at all, but will start to Doubt yourself whether you are being targeted by natural will.

And his risk can be close to nothing, after all, after all, he did nothing, just killed some drow elves, and he is not yet a believer in him.

Unless Rose defiantly chooses to perform a divine descent here and start looking for the whereabouts of the divine sense, he may be picked out.

Then he doesn't have to struggle anymore. If anyone were here, he would not be able to face a powerful deity who was deliberately targeted when he was only at the fifth level.

Besides, from the time when Asenland was destroyed in the previous life, this goddess remained calm and silent, so she definitely didn't have that kind of courage.

Besides, for Rose, who has been weighing the pros and cons, it is definitely not worthwhile to provoke the will of the World Tree rashly during this period for the sake of a ray of divine sense that does not know whether it is missing or not.

Although he hates the natural pantheon to the bone, it does not prevent him from being short-lived.

After all, for countless thousands of years, ever since He was expelled from the elf pantheon, as a fallen one, he has been under the hands of the elf believers headed by Father Oak and Corellon. Weaving a spider web in the corner, slowly waiting for the arrival of the prey.

Otherwise, why would he, like his believers, hide in the underdark region when he clearly holds powerful priesthoods such as vengeance, murder, betrayal, and the domain of chaos, and can only revolve around the meddling among believers for fun.

After thinking about it, Woody directly put the shrine into the dimensional ring and put it in the most inconspicuous corner. If he had the opportunity to communicate directly with the will of the world tree in this plane, he could use this to get rid of it.

After all, from the current point of view, there are many ways for Asenland to fully digest this divine sense without attracting revenge from the vicious goddess.

But at present, the only option he can choose is this method.

……

In the early morning of the next day, before the morning fog melted under the sun, Woody looked back at the clean wooden house. He had spent a lot of time here, but at this time the place was empty, and the pit in the corner was also covered by him. Fill it up, just like when he first moved here.

Finally, with the sound of the wooden door closing, the black-haired young man turned and left the quiet hut, and walked towards the gate of the manor.

There are already many servants walking through the trails in the early morning. The complicated labor, the necessary cleaning work of the manor every day can keep them busy from the dawn of the day to the beginning of the lights, but this is already better than planing food at sea. Fishermen are much better off.

This group of servants, who were easily satisfied by comparison, all smiled and made extremely respectful etiquette and good morning greetings to Woody,

After that night, almost everyone knew that Woody Alester was no longer a boy living in another family, but a real strong man.

And the strong, no matter where they are, will be respected.

There was no one in the dining room at this time, except for him, only the busy kitchen was preparing breakfast for the distinguished people of the manor. When Woody passed by, he just made some relatively simple breakfasts. Woody did not If you don't mind, let them serve them one by one.

Baked muffins, cream sandwich bread, plus a large piece of beef patty, served with a book of hot milk that warms the stomach in the cold wind.

After eating, even the pain caused by the chronic toxin that still exists in the body and has not disappeared, does not appear to be so painful.

Woody ate very slowly, but the food was not too much, he finished it quickly, first he wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth from eating the pie with a white napkin, then looked at the still silent door , and put down the knife and fork in his hand.

Walking directly towards the door, Cromwell was already waiting at the door.

"Master Woody, the carriage is ready."

"Ah."

Woody responded shallowly, and kept looking behind the curtains on the second floor of the manor. From his perception, he could easily feel that there were two gazes coming just now, but he didn't mention it, but With a normal face, under the guidance of Cromwell, he boarded the carriage of the Edith family, but after boarding the carriage, he finally sighed faintly when he heard the girl's faint sobs brought by the wind.

Then, after seeing a dimensional bag placed on the empty table in the carriage compartment, he fell into silence.

It was full of gold coins, no less than the compensation given to him by his aunt last time. Obviously, this dimensional bag was prepared by her.

But at this time, there is nothing to say about farewell, it will only add to the sadness, and it is the most important thing to find the star whales as soon as possible and take them out of this cage as soon as possible.

Woody looked at the outline of the wine estate through the curtain, and finally only managed two words from his throat.

"Departure."

Just like that, the carriage headed towards the Merchant Street in the trade zone.

Today is the day when a business group called Moonsea Merchant Group, which he previously settled with a deposit, departs.

……

"What? It's gone? And in the first two days?"

"Why don't I know! Shouldn't you inform me?"

"Huh? Mr. Kraft from Business Street."

When Woody came to the agreed place, he found that there were a lot of poor horses pulling the goods and forming a long queue, but the emblem of the Moonsea Merchant Group did not appear until Woody found the intermediary in charge of the matter at that time, named Kraft The man, he is well-known in the business street, Kraft saw Woody's arrival, and immediately explained with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Dear Lord Woody, because the registration form responsible for contacting passengers has disappeared, and the Moonsea Merchant Group has indeed been disbanded. Here, I will pay you part of the compensation. You can see if it's okay."

"Why did you break up?" Woody looked puzzled. After all, this was an innocent disaster. He had never heard of a caravan disappearing just as he was about to go out. Besides, he didn't want compensation. He just wanted to leave now. Palermo.

"I don't know why. At that time, a family backed by this business group went bankrupt overnight, and the rest were divided up directly. Yuehai and those guards walked and ran. Alas, the goods are gone. , and the caravan, I am also in pain, Your Excellency, you are already the No.6 guest I received who came to question me."

When Kraft said this, he shrugged helplessly, and then sighed.

Obviously, there are quite a few people looking for him these days, and he is also very busy because of this matter. After all, the Moonsea Merchant Group can be disbanded. If he still wants to eat, he can't run away.

But after he finished speaking, he leaned over and whispered something.

"Besides, I heard that the governing hall has been mobilized, and that family is probably finished..."

When he said this, as the intermediary who was responsible for communicating this matter at the beginning, he had a secretive expression on his face, and his voice was extremely low, for fear of being heard by others, but his face showed gloating.

The trading area is not far from the noble area, and most people's contact with the nobles is often limited to being aloof. The master in the carriage, even a small nobleman, is enough to make them envious, jealous, so when they hear the nobleman When they fell down, their first reaction was a sense of refreshment that a group of high-ranking people were torn down from the clouds, commonly known as "it's hard to see".

After hearing this, Woody thumped, and asked directly regardless of the sighs and sighs from the intermediary man in front of him.

"What is the name of that family?"

"It seems to be the Lutov family, who own the winery. Originally, a lot of wine in Palermo comes from their family. Have you ever drank the Flame Beauty with two gold coins and a glass? The taste, oh, I really want to taste it again. "

The intermediary man talked more and more vigorously, and he had the urge to drag Woody directly to a nearby tavern when he had a disagreement.

But Woody was silent. This cunning man in a felt hat and a thick cotton coat thought he was sad because he couldn't travel, so he immediately acted accordingly.

"Hey, it's all the fault of the Lutov family. It's not bad luck sooner or later, but it happens when the caravan is about to leave. Isn't this a lie, but let me say, don't be sad, there are many caravans, I I will keep an eye on it for you, and I will keep it for you to find the next one to go to the Koval Forest..."

"How long will it take?" Woody's destination spans three city-states, more than a dozen cities, and also passes through the Moon Sea Kingdom. Few business travelers will choose this road to go to the back, after all, most people Thinking about transporting goods to the Northland, but the entrance to the Northland is a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

"Uh... Well, it will take about half a month, you see..." Kraft rubbed his hands, obviously he didn't have the confidence in his heart when he said this.

"Then forget it."

Woody just collected the money and turned to say goodbye, leaving without looking back, but when he went out, he heard the sound of horseshoes and wheels crushing the floor, and the squeaking sound of being overwhelmed, seeing the busy streets all over the place. Without stopping, the bustling business street suddenly became confused.

Is it possible that he has to go back to the winery now, to give them a surprise, or to stay with Angelina for a while, but what should be said and what should be done, has been said and done yesterday, and now he will go back , he will feel a little embarrassed, and it will take too long here.

Could he continue to play the role of a nobleman here, or accept a few useless commissions for a little experience points or strange objects that may not be needed at all in the future.

Do not!This is not his original intention.

With a decision in mind, Woody chose to directly find a caravan going out of the city, intending to solve this helpless journey crisis by way of relay.

Fortunately, he has an artifact for camping in the wild, the Sea Breeze Conch. Although it is in the water, it is better than resting alone in the wilderness.

Just do what you said, Woody immediately prepared to leave the mule and horse market, planning to go there to buy a mount for transportation, which would save a lot of energy in the day, and it was unnecessary to buy it originally, because generally there will be many horses in the caravan. Less spare mules and horses, after all, the risk on the road is not small, if the horse pulling the cart dies, how will the goods be pulled back.

But now that the policy is changed, the journey in the wild can only be solved by oneself.

Fortunately, he is not afraid. Anyway, in this period of time, Asenland is far from being in a dangerous situation full of monsters everywhere.

As long as he is a little careful, he can still reach his destination safely in this wilderness with an average challenge level of 0-15.
