Shadow Covenant

Chapter 158 "United"

After the battle, the town calmed down again, only the sound of messy footsteps and splashing water.

Woody sat quietly next to Baron Cam's body, and behind him, by the light of the fire.

The figure shakes.

"Just work harder!"

"Hey!"

"One two, one two."

The townspeople were shouting slogans to put out the fire. In addition to igniting Baron Cam's body, the flames also ignited many houses near the long street.

The guards of the Angry Winter Merchant Group are also helping. After all, they are the main culprits of the fire, and the residents of Green Brook Town are the victims.

They also understand that what happened in the tavern tonight is actually related to Baron Cam, and the residents here don't know about it.

So he didn't vent his anger, but under Cecil's order, he always restrained the conflict with Green Brook Town.

"How are you feeling?"

Suddenly, Woody heard footsteps, accompanied by a brisk sound.

The owner of the Angry Winter Merchant Group, Cecil, the court mage of the Northland.

She is still in that attire, but the cat in her hand has disappeared, and she doesn't know where she went to play.

"good."

The simple two words revealed Woody's desire not to talk too much, and Cecil smiled slightly after hearing this.

"It seems that this is not the first time you have killed this kind of monster."

"Sengu said that you told him the characteristics of this monster, otherwise, they may suffer heavy losses."

"He asked me to thank you for him."

"Woody."

Obviously, between the two, Cecil's desire to inquire and explore was not strong after the war.

But Woody didn't want to say too much, just nodded slightly.

"I just learned about it occasionally from an old man. He told me a lot of knowledge about other planes, and this trip is also for this."

Woody was vague about his purpose, but there was no flaw in his words. After all, this knowledge was indeed told to him by an old man, and he only learned it during the game in the previous life.

"Oh, is that so? That mysterious old man..."

Cecil's mage's curiosity affected her, but when she saw that Woody had closed her eyes at some point, she immediately fell silent, knowing that there would be no point in asking any further questions. Obviously, this was a problem for him. Secret.

But Cecil didn't mind, nor was he angry.

After all, who doesn't have many secrets.

So, she changed the subject, and this topic immediately opened Woody's eyes, which had been closed.

"Actually, I know Nili, you have her scent on you,"

"Who?"

Woody thought it was the Spider Goddess or something else on him that caught Cecil's attention, but he didn't expect her name to make him freeze immediately.

"Lord Judit!"

"do not you know?"

Cecil looked very surprised, but quickly relieved.

"That's right, Lord Judit rarely takes the initiative to talk to humans about these things, hee hee, you are favored by her, otherwise I wouldn't let the caravans arrange you to join us."

After the battle just now, the court mage of the Northland obviously regarded Woody as an opponent of the same level, and coupled with the relationship between the bronze dragon Udit, it began to appear intimate.

As long as Woody raised his head slightly, he could see that curious and beautiful face, and his warm breath could even blow the black hair on his forehead.

He should be the closest person to Cecil in the caravan besides the cat.

But he was thinking more about Judit than about that.

He also recalled that the "Majesty of the Storm" among his specialties was obviously given to him by Juditte, and Cecil must have noticed this. Woody didn't know much about his original father's romantic history. He is even more curious about the relationship between the Northland and the Bronze Dragon.

He remembered that the territory of the Winter Kingdom in Navia seemed to be at odds with giant dragons, and the mysteries surrounding the capital Komylan even refused any giant dragons to enter.

How could the bronze dragon have anything to do with the young mage of Komylan.

Seeing Woody's curious gaze also cast, Cecil smiled slightly, her goal was achieved.

Originally, Woody still resisted the conversation between the two, but she took the initiative to point out the opportunity of the relationship between the two, and she had the conditions to continue the communication.

So she began to explain the purpose of her mission, and the connection between Judit and them, without haste.

It was only then that Woody knew that Cecil was qualified as Judit's mage apprentice.

And it's not that Komylan doesn't have dragons, but the mage towers built by the dragons are all outside the city, and Judit's mage towers are also there.

Cecil also smiled and talked about the interesting story of entering the Dragon Mage Tower, saying that after entering there, the space inside is much larger than the outside, and the steps are more than ten times the normal steps of human beings, and the spoon dining table is also ten times larger. several times the size.

On the contrary, after Woody heard that Judit actually belonged to the Thousand Towers Society, the thoughts in his mind were twisted, because he knew Judit's title in Komilan from Cecil.

"Eye of the Storm, Judit."

As a Legendary Bronze Dragon, he is naturally well-deserved, but the title Eye of the Storm reminds him of one of the legendary mages who disappeared from the Thousand Towers Society, and there is also a name called Eye of the Storm.

In historical memory, when the corrupt mother tree descended, they disappeared together in this plane, leaving only the last legendary mage and queen of Komylan, Lani Carolina Fischer alone. .

If this news was posted on the forum of the previous life, it would be a heavy news. After all, the nature of the bronze dragon is absolutely impossible to abandon it. Nonsense, there are deeper reasons behind it.

Is this a hidden mission?
Hidden missions that no one has developed!

Thinking about it, the heart that belonged to the adventurer was ready to move, but he calmed down soon. The scene of Asenland after the arrival of the corrupt mother tree was vivid in his memory. It is best to change the place to die, not to mention, he is now It's not alone, there are Weilando and aunt behind.

But that said, it is very likely that Judit did not escape from this plane, but went to perform some kind of mission, and finally... died?

On the last day when Asenland was swallowed by the deformed spores of the corrupt mother tree, Woody did not see the existence of the dragon in the team leaving Asenland.

Two-two confirmation, thinking of this, Woody couldn't help being silent for a while, and his original conversation thoughts faded away.

But Cecil didn't know why Woody lost the desire to talk again, and he still talked eloquently about himself in the Dragon Mage Tower and when he was taught by Judit, trying to use this to bring the two of them closer. relation.

"What about your magic pet?"

Woody noticed that Cecil was not holding the tabby cat in his hands, but what he didn't expect was that Cecil shook his head.

"That's not a magic pet, it's the task given to me by Teacher Judit, and she also asked me to send it to Storm Strait as soon as possible. If she didn't make things difficult for the academy task in my hands, I would have left the caravan now. Go alone to complete the task."

"Storm Channel."

This place name caught Woody's attention. It was a special scene on the outskirts of Northland, where two cliffs faced each other, and there were raging waves all year round.

Woody had been there in his previous life, and knew that at the very top of the strait, there was a dragon shrine that lost half of his body.

It can also be regarded as a "land of legends" in the game.

After arriving, as long as you visit him, except for the first time you will be given a certain affinity with metal dragons, every time you pray in the future, the shrine will give a fierce resistance BUFF against dragons, which lasts for a week.

Therefore, before preparing to slay dragons, many Northland players will go to Storm Strait to renew their buffs.

Moreover, at that time, many players wanted to explore the past related to the dragon. They also discussed it on the forum, but they never found any clues.

Over time, these are forgotten.

However, Cecil's words reminded him that it seems that these are all related to the bronze dragon, but he didn't talk too much to ask the bronze dragon's request, but kept this silently in his heart, as long as he knew it. Before the World Whale, he didn't have such a strong desire to explore for the time being.

"And you, how did you meet Teacher Judit."

Already squatting on the other side of Woody, the beautiful mage almost leaning on his shoulders tilted his head and looked at the side face of the black-haired young man in front of him with a curious look on his face.

"I don't know either. As soon as I woke up from sleep, I felt the power of a storm in my body."

Although Woody had some guesses in his mind, he still calmly narrated what happened originally, without adding or deleting, and told her what happened to his body when he woke up that morning.

Still, he mentions stories from the Underdark.

"I heard that a legendary dragon appeared, and a single breath destroyed an underground city of drow."

"That must be Teacher Judit's masterpiece! Only her breath can achieve the effect of the nine-ring spell."

After hearing the story, Cecil affirmed without hesitation.

"Is it a legendary item?"

Woody has never heard that the breath of the legendary dragon can compare to the nine-ring spell. Generally speaking, even the ancient red dragon, his breath is at most slightly stronger than the ultimate fireball, which is the level of the seven-ring spell. Upgrading to the ninth ring is far bigger than the gap between the 1st and 7th rings. After much deliberation, it can only be blamed on the legendary item.

"Yes, the neck armor of the storm can enhance the breathing ability. The teacher told us about it during the magic item class."

"A mage must know how to use strange objects, staffs, and magic items, all of which are our fangs and claws."

Cecil repeated the words he had heard most deeply when he was an apprentice.

Suddenly, at this time, not far from the long street, a group of people walked up, each holding a torch, looking like a long dragon from a distance, the aboriginals of Luxi Town who were with the Nudong Merchant Group just now, now Shi was at the head of the dragon, explaining something emotionally.

But he was quickly persuaded again.

"It seems that the wonderful chat is over, I'll go and have a look first, you should have a good rest!"

Cecil also saw the dispute at the intersection, so he didn't have the desire to continue the conversation. Anyway, the journey was long, and there were enough opportunities for the two of them to chat.

And Woody took a look and then looked back. This is something that Cecil can solve, and it won't affect him much if he can't get past it.

The mage is powerful enough to calm them all down and sit down to negotiate.

All he needs to do now is...

Woody looked at Baron Cam's body not far away. Because of the flames, in addition to the smell of blood, there was also a smell of burnt meat in the air.

However, these did not affect him. He is now thinking about which one he should replace if he uses the spirit hunting oath. Now the natural shrine is occupied by the will of the spider goddess Rose, and his new nature shrine will take some time. If If you use it now, it will definitely replace the previous natural gift.

If it's just a simple favor like dancing with sharks, it's okay, and it's useless now, but the few present are all favors that Woody thinks are good, and it would be a pity to replace them hastily.

The three slots on him now are the three strongest boons he can have.

Evil Busters, Uniqueness, and Telepathy.

In the long run, telepathy and replacement are harmless, but considering the spider goddess Rose's divine sense, Woody still thinks this talent is more important. After all, if Rose finds out what she is doing, she plans to use spider magic Assassinate him, and that perception will become his last protection before reacting.

This is also why he was tangled.

But it didn't take long for him to struggle, and Cecil brought a few people to his place. The purpose was naturally not to look at him, but to point to the body behind him.

"Look, this is what your lord looks like, and everyone present can testify."

Although the dead Baron Cam has long lost his original horror and bloat, and his whole body looks like a pool of rotten flesh, his huge body and purgatory facial features still made the aborigines of Green Brook Town take half a step back.

A look of panic, after all, the mysterious mage earlier told them that his lord was a person who dealt with the devil.

"But, the Viscount..."

Some of the people present whispered, obviously worried that the death of the baron would affect Viscount Grover's attitude towards Green Creek Town. After all, Green Creek Town also belonged to Viscount Grover's territory to a certain extent.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, all you have to say is that we did it, and he won't do anything to you."

"When the baron's inheritance arrives, the people in your town can also share some."

Cecil said with a face of indifference, and when he said this, everyone who was still uneasy at first breathed a sigh of relief, and the people who looked at the Angry Winter Merchant Group no longer had any hostility, especially the sentence about dividing up the inheritance, It made many people's eyes light up.

Then he looked at Baron Cam's body lying on the ground, showing disgust.

"Damn devil!"

"it's all because of you!"

……

And amidst the swearing, Woody's ears trembled slightly, just now, he heard the sound of something falling from the south.

This is……

Enemy attack?
