Shadow Covenant

Chapter 184 "The Lost Peak"

The two chatted for a while, and Woody was always looking for opportunities, but no matter whether he told her that there might be unspeakable disasters when going out to sea, no matter whether he was joking or using metaphors, it had little effect. Think of it as a joke for Woody to tease his leisure time.

But if you change someone, it should be treated as a joke.

"Pfft."

"Hahahaha, how did you come up with the idea that the island has a conclusion that after a girl lands, she will gain several kilograms of weight, it's so scary..."

"There are almost no vegetables in the food there. It is all fat and calories. You don't have the consumption of the local Monlites. If you don't exercise, you will naturally gain weight."

Woody was a little helpless, and when he was about to say that she might encounter danger in the Dragon Roar Islands in the name of prophecy, he suddenly thought of one thing, if the person who murdered Cecil was by her side, and used When he is watching him with a spell or something that he cannot understand, isn't what he is doing now just to scare the snake away?

This made Woody, who already had a feeling in his heart, feel an indescribable sense of spying. Although it was very subtle, he had to guard against it, because he considered the consequences of this matter, which might make people start For him, when the time comes, the fate of Bececil will not be saved, but himself will be set up instead.

This is also the reason why Woody Zhong changed his style of painting, swallowed the persuasion, and then told her the horror joke that the island can make young people gain a few catties in a serious manner.

Compared with Woody's careful thinking and fear, Cecil is much simpler, and she doesn't think too far at all. Having the amulet that can summon the legendary mage is her biggest hole card, or she faces people who are more powerful than her. Strong, no matter how much you use your brain, it's useless, it's better to leave it to her teacher to solve it all.

Therefore, when she heard Woody seriously exaggerate the danger of the Dragon Roaring Islands, and finally made a reversed statement, she was directly amused and laughed, and her expression was indescribably relaxed, but the cat not far away heard Woody The jokes expressed are dismissive, and the cat-face contempt speaks for itself.

"Nowhere near Rosie's joke."

This is Doni's inner slander. Rosie is a red copper dragon she knows. She met on an accidental trip. The two dragons spent some time together. She is full of nostalgia for Rosie's humorous words.

However, hearing that it will also be there this time, Donnie is looking forward to it.

So much so that now she sees her favorite rainy day in the past, causing the Angry Winter Merchant Group to trudge through the Whispering Forest, making it difficult for her to move, and she is a little disgusted.

Hate rainy days….

When Woody got out of the carriage where Cecil lived, the sky was still dark, there were no stars to be seen, and the rain was still falling. Jean and his mood were as gray as the sky, and he hid in the trees and watched the flood. Anxiety like forest animals.

In the early hours of the night, the temperature is the coldest of the day, but the icy rain seems to be a lingering ghost in this kind of forest. own presence.

The darkness beyond the light is like a fierce beast pressing every step of the way, coveting the foreign team trapped in the rain all the time.

After more than ten hours of raiding, they just crossed the river in an extremely troublesome way. No matter how hot the boiling water of the Nudong Merchant Group was, under the stimulation of this extremely cold and uncomfortable environment, it would still become cold. Calm down, to put it bluntly, listless and sick.

They are tired.

But Cecil had no intention of stopping. Not long after Woody returned to Inom's carriage, she reappeared. This time, she released a continuous flash of light to dispel the darkness. , making the road ahead clearer.

Before returning to the carriage, she also summoned the merchants in the trade group, and after a brief explanation, the merchants went down and began to cheer up the somewhat sluggish business associates, helpers, and coachmen.

"If you work harder, you will soon be able to walk on the right road, and it will be much easier to walk there."

"The Golden River Valley will be on the right track for a few hours, and then we can drink warm cheese and mushroom soup."

"I still have to work overtime for a few hours. We will have a good meal when we arrive at Rosentre. This journey is too painful."

After Enom came back, he also briefly explained that his expression was not good-looking. After all, they are usually not in a hurry. After the muddy water, the potholes are not only bumpy, but also cause incalculable damage to the wheels, and also have high requirements on the endurance of the horse. Now someone has replaced it with a traveling horse bought from Palermo to act as a "charger" precious".

The young coachman Kazier was still full of energy, which seemed to be related to the means of crossing the river before. He exclaimed loudly that it would be interesting to tell his childhood friend about this anecdote, and Woody couldn't fall asleep for a while. He simply drove with him, and he did not forget to fulfill his promise during the journey, and told him some adventure stories he once knew.

There is still a lot of time, just like this, the cunning dragon who colluded with the king to entrap adventurers for the treasure, and the ferocious dragon tortoise hiding under the bay, which specializes in overturning merchant ships, some Woody encountered in the previous life, and solved All previous cases were told to him in the form of an adventure story.

Because it was a personal experience, Woody spoke more clearly and from the beginning to the end, including the reason and so on. Putting down the work in his hands, he sat in the front of the carriage in the rain, listening to the sound of the rain falling on the leaves, and listening to the calm black-haired young man in front of him, telling some bards about the adventure story.

"It's really a good story, and it has a beginning and an end. The protagonists all have a happy ending, and they all defeated monsters. Mr. Woody, are these true?"

Kazier said with a satisfied face.

Generally speaking, many bards either exaggerate the horror of monsters, or highlight the strength of heroes. As for the ending of the story, they diverge randomly. As for the ending, Woody's autobiographical style of narration is even more likable to Kaqier. After all, with Woody's adventurer costume and the mysterious background, these stories are true.

A few hours passed quickly, and the sky was getting brighter. Woody took a sip, and after Kazir handed over the jug filled with hot milk, he said slowly.

"There are still a few nights before Rosent, so let's stop here today."

He was not idle when telling the story, but took the time to break up the information he knew so that he could be more psychologically prepared and predictive in the face of what might happen next, just like before If he acts rashly, it is very likely that he will appear in the sight of those behind the scenes. For him who is still weak, it is tantamount to a disaster falling from the sky.

"Well, I see, thank you Lord Woody."

Kaqier was full of joy. The one-night story meeting not only narrowed Woody's sense of distance, but also made the young coachman admire Woody even more, and his eyes sparkled when he looked at him.

Woody has long been used to it, and the story is over does not mean he is leaving. Compared with the scenery in the carriage, this night he still enjoys the feeling of sitting at the front of the carriage with a 180-degree panoramic sunroof.

Therefore, while Woody was staring at the direction of Cecil's carriage, watching when the caster would have time to appear alone again, looking for a suitable opportunity for communication, listening to Kazier officially invite Woody again to participate in his meeting with great interest. During the wedding of fiancee Sif, Woody, who had something on his mind, naturally nodded subconsciously.

"Where is it, I'll go if it's on my way."

"The town of Faen is just under the Mandala Snow Mountain. It is very beautiful. When the weather is good, you can see the sun's rays pouring down on the snow. The sky and the earth are all golden." Kaqier proudly introduced his hometown Come.

"Mandala Snow Mountain."

Woody frowned slightly, the name is quite familiar, or as a player who has been active in the Northland for many years, he basically knows some snow mountains with missions and powerful monsters. Mandala Snow Mountain is one of them. He must have heard of it. I know there is one, but I don't know which one it is.

However, it takes time to rethink, but it should not be the few snow mountains that he cares about most. In order to deepen his memory, Woody directly asked the direction of Mandala Snow Mountain, and Kaqier naturally agreed.

"Master Woody, the snow-capped mountains are just north of the frozen lake, not far from them. When the weather is fine, standing on the highest rock in the village, you can see the outline of the frozen lake surrounded by mountains Miles, you can see several in the seven towns."

Not far from a frozen lake?That's good?
Hearing the geographical location, Woody subconsciously felt relieved, and just wanted to agree casually. After all, his range of activities should be near the Seven Towns, but he immediately came to his senses and said in astonishment.

"The Lost Peak Mandala?"

The memory of the past has finally come to life. The name of Mandala is not well remembered, but the name Lost Peak will belong to the existence that is heard like thunder in the ears of players in the North. Even the aborigines have fear and malice towards it, and even I can't wait to erase it from the map in the next moment.

Not because of anything else, but because the famous Gray Dwarf Legion and the Gate of Hell came from the bottom of this mountain in the last life of Asenland.

However, it is no secret that there are gray dwarves in Lost Peak, because the name of Lost comes from the caves with nine bends and eighteen bends inside the snow mountain and the obelisk that clearly indicates that no one is responsible for entering the snow mountain. After returning to the ground, it was after the underground gate that had been dusty for centuries was opened.

As for the small town in Kazir's mouth, it is not surprising that the gatekeepers who settled there were centuries ago, always on guard against the underground forces, and the revival of the dark region.

After all, apart from gray dwarves, people at that time also drove many dark creatures and monsters back to the ground.

In the background of the game, how the gray dwarves broke free and opened the passage to the underground is just a simple repetition.

The gatekeeper's descendants accidentally opened the gate, releasing the demons sealed underground.

However, Woody heard a more detailed version of the story on the forum. It seems that the players who experienced it personally told the situation at that time. Woody thought it was interesting at the time, so he read it all the way.

If that post wasn't a lie, then it's very likely that he can still stop by so that the gray dwarf army can never pass through that gate?

When Woody yelled the nickname of Mandala Peak among the local residents, Kazier inevitably looked a little embarrassed, and explained with a flushed face.

"Where do you get lost? You can only get lost when you go up the mountain when the weather is bad. It's the same for other snow mountains. I have been there several times and I feel nothing. Don't listen to their nonsense. Mandala Peak is actually very beautiful. It's also spectacular."

Kaqier looked like a young boy who vowed to defend his hometown to the death. His own people said yes, but others said no.

"Oh, have you ever been to Mandala Peak?" Woody asked suddenly.

"Yeah, I went up there with my grandfather when I was young, saying that I wanted to pick herbs, but after walking a long way, there wasn't a single Frost Flower."

Kaqier nodded naturally, not aware of the deep meaning in Woody's eyes at all.

"Understood, when I finish my work, I will come to you."

The gray dwarf appeared a little later than the star whale. At that time, many players were still adapting to the shock brought by the saint, and it later evolved into a major event in the version, which was still a year after the player entered the pit.

"Okay! When you want to come to me, just find a carriage dealer, tell him Kaqier, and I will pick you up in person."

Kaqier's voice was not low, and someone couldn't help but joked after hearing it.

"Kaqier, didn't you say that your family raises horses? Why is it now a carriage business again? Don't let our Lord Woody wait foolishly in the ice and snow."

"Yes, yes! Kazir, you still have a sled, why didn't I know?"

"Last time, you said that you sold your horse to make enough start-up capital for this time."

……

Obviously, Kaqier's bragging caused dissatisfaction among some members of the business group who were seeking truth from facts, but they were still very restrained in speaking, but it was uncomfortable to listen to, but Kaqier's face was serious, There was no explanation, just a quiet answer.

"I'm not wrong!"

Although this sentence caused a roar of laughter, Woody did not laugh, but directly ignored their laughter, because he knew that what he said was true...

Just when Kaqier was puzzled that he told the truth but attracted the ridicule and anger of others, Woody, who was half ass ready to open the seat at any time, sat down again.

"Let me tell you another story. This time the story is different from the previous ones."
