Shadow Covenant

Chapter 209 "Preparation"

Chapter 209 "Preparation"

Outside Huangshi Town.

A luxurious carriage left under everyone's gaze. Woody sat on the shaft of the carriage, closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, while the invisible magic servant was waving the reins, driving the horse towards the golden galaxy. downstream, that is, in the direction of the Great Rift Valley.

Cecil quietly flipped through the books in the interior, and occasionally looked up at Woody sitting on the shaft of the carriage. Seeing that he was still looking lazy, he didn't say much, but let the magic servant in the carriage He was handed fresh fruit to relieve the boredom of the long journey.

Occasionally, Woody would have a chat with the people in the carriage. He sat outside the carriage and waited for the old man. Although he knew that he would not miss the appointment, but in any case, he could still show his correct attitude when he came out to greet him. .

Doni, the bronze dragon, was not very interested, perhaps because of Tecia's stay, but Woody didn't care. He and Cecil chatted happily about the follow-up information about the fog of dimension.

At least Cecil is like this. She finds that she can't understand the man in front of her more and more, because in her memory, she has never met a peer whose knowledge is only higher than her. Take the dimensional fog just now as an example. , Woody can clearly give more than five mythos to prove the necessary connection between the fog and the mythos, as well as the demiplane, and she only knows in the library that there is a dimensional fog among the common possibilities of the mythos One item, why there is, in fact, she doesn't know clearly.

"The story about you is very exciting. It seems that Asenland can't make someone like you?"

Although it is a question sentence, Cecil's words are already swearing. After all, as the disciple of the chief legendary mage of the Thousand Towers Society, she can freely enter and leave most libraries. She can say one, two, three, four, five of everything, but today her sense of frustration is incomparably heavy, and the source of it is the black-haired young man in front of her who is even younger than her.

From knowledge of planes to the root of spells, from monster illustrations to diverse ecology, what she can talk about always has a new angle or knowledge she doesn't know in Woody's mouth, just like... a A walking library.

Obviously, the attraction of Woody to Cecil as a spellcaster is like a cat meeting catnip. The positive feedback brought to her by chatting is something that most people cannot do. The last one gave her It was her teacher, Lani, Queen of Winter, who felt this kind of heart and soul.

But it’s the same for a senior player. After all, compared to the mage of the aborigines, the career of an adventurer is indeed colorful, with deep and dark dungeons, strange underground caves, and sanctuaries surrounded by wind. The ancient relics of the ancient world... set foot on everything that can be set foot on, and try everything that can be tried. This is an adventurer.

Of course Woody didn't know that he was somehow in the same echelon with her teacher in Cecil's mind, but he didn't care if he knew.

At this time, when he heard Cecil's words, his face was more indifferent, and he was not angry because of Cecil's vague doubts, but just replied lightly.

"You don't have a deep understanding of this world. You always like to look at things from the perspective of a spellcaster. Many common sense things are often ignored by you. Just like the information I just said, a paragraph comes from The most common hunter's mouth, if you put it in normal times, would you care about these? Or should you pay attention to these?"

Woody's answer seemed to contain criticism, but in fact it contained an analysis of the phenomenon behind it. After hearing this, Cecil felt as if he had been hit by a blow. He was speechless for a while, and the air suddenly became dull. The creaking sound of pressing stones.

Woody knew she was thinking, so he didn't bother, and continued to watch the scenery around the car.

The outline of the houses in Huangshi Town has turned into a black spot, and even the rolling hills behind them have turned into palm-sized undulating waves on the horizon. It has been about an hour since they left Huangshi Town.

Why haven't you arrived yet?
Woody couldn't help but frown slightly when he thought of Kaverman. This trip to Jingsong Forest, he must achieve two goals. One is to at least get the fog under control and everyone can escape. Ceremony, to make my soul leap to a certain extent, and prepare for the body-forging soul, and these are inseparable from that man. After all, he did not bring Tecia, and now he has to rely on him Come and communicate with the divine attendant who should still be alive, and solve the first difficulty.

But Woody didn't struggle too much, because the [Eye of Crows] magic sign lit up on his left hand gave him the vision of crows, and he also saw a bird's-eye view that the naked eye couldn't see. In this valley with strange rocks and scarce greenery, Woody naturally recognized that the magic carriage they were riding was the one with the less smoke and dust, and the larger the smoke and dust, as the crow approached, the appearance of the creatures also changed. Appeared in Woody's shared vision.

This is a well-proportioned, weird reptile-like creature with a brown body and a body length of about 7 meters. It almost blends with the ground environment, not to mention the bone spurs standing up like a giant tooth shark on the back. What is more eye-catching is the eight thick legs under the monster's scaly abdomen, and the slender giant tail that is half the length of its body is even more swaying, drawing a deep brand mark on the ground, and the boiling smoke and dust It is a masterpiece produced by the accelerated operation of its legs and tail.

Woody, who has experienced adventure experience, naturally recognized that this is a petrified lizard living in a mining area. After all, the characteristic of petrified lizards is that they like to hide themselves in the surrounding environment and enter a state of coordination, so you see in the forest The petrified lizard would be light green, but when it arrived in the desert, it would be found that the color of its body surface was the same as that of yellow sand. This was a chameleon-like ability, and the caster had successfully integrated into the body of this magical creature.

At this time, on the back of the galloping petrified lizard, there is a saddle that can accommodate one person sitting in the dense forest of thorns. The blacksmith Kafferman, who was catching up with him just now, is sitting on it, looking into the distance.

Woody looked at his animal companion in surprise. Although he knew that Kaverman had a petrified lizard as his animal companion, judging from the performance just now, this animal weighed more than five tons and walked on the On land, it was like a heavy-duty truck rampaging on the king level, obviously beyond the normal range of animal companions.

Ordinary stones don't even hide, they just smash into pieces. The strength is likely to reach 25 points, and the constitution has also reached 20 points. From the perspective of challenge level, it is estimated that the level of this petrified lizard is higher than that of Kaverman. It must be high, at least 8 or higher, and a terrifying monster with a creature level of 13 or higher. It is much more difficult for a ranger to breed such a monster than a druid, and he does not know how it grows so big.

But let alone Woody's murmurs, even Kaverman, who was sitting on the back of the petrified lizard, was full of doubts. He remembered that before he chose to retire in Yellowstone Town, his animal companion was not so big, probably only half of it. Once it doesn't arrive, it's only been a few years of work, and it has grown so big.

But whether it is Woody or Kaverman, they all know in their hearts that there are more important things than this, so no matter how much the petrified lizard changes, they still remain unchanged and firmly pursue the goal that was set at the beginning. Target.

And having said that, Woody didn't care about this either. After all, the stronger Kaverman's petrified lizard was, the smoother his next trip to the Lost Temple would be.

With the meat shield, the fault tolerance rate will naturally be effectively improved.

The speed of the petrified lizard was very fast, and Woody made the invisible servant slow down intentionally, and soon he and Kaverman met again, but this time, looking at the giant petrified lizard, which was about the size of a luxury carriage, he was full of momentum. Still couldn't help but lose for a while, but Kaverman didn't look domineering at all. He turned over and got off the lizard, and jumped onto Woody's carriage. He didn't know what method he used. The behemoth that blocked most of the sunlight completely disappeared without a trace.

"Welcome to join us! Mr. Kaverman."

Woody naturally stood up to greet him and opened his hands, which was a signal of intimacy, but he respected this kind of person who could stick to love for decades, not to mention that he was still seeking to some extent. to him.

"Mr. Kafferman is here? Come in and sit down!"

Cecil, who was leaving the carriage, also took the initiative to poke her head out. As the owner of the magic carriage, even if she was studying seriously, she could still receive information from the outside world in time through various magical means.

Therefore, in the face of this old ranger whose animal companion is stronger than everyone in the caravan, he still has a little respect. The tribes there have a proverb, "Every old man is a rare treasure." Kaverman is worthy of both age and experience, and the elderly professionals who can live are already better than Asen Rand. People with more than 80.00% are much stronger.

After Kalverman came in, he did not meet Woody and Cecil's expectations. Entering this spacious and comfortable carriage covered with soft fur and carpets made of woolen fleece, Kalverman did not show the usual Pretentious and awkward, on the contrary, he dragged a chair very skillfully, leaned on it very easily, and grinned.

"The carriage of your spellcasters is still comfortable. Sitting on Modi's back, I was almost fainted from the shaking. Tsk, that's not good."

Kaverman's desire to talk is stronger than they imagined, but this is exactly what Woody meant. After all, the journey is long, and there must be some way to pass the boring time. Chatting and storytelling are good choices.

However, chatting can’t last too long. After chatting in the carriage for a while, he offered to sit outside. It is said that he has to adjust the bowstring and try shooting. Cecil did not refuse, but Woody was curious. After all, it was a very rare thing to be able to watch a hunting king prepare for the battle with his own eyes.

The King of Hunting is the advanced profession of the ranger. As the successors of the way of hunting, they are more proficient in hunting and killing all kinds of monsters than the demon hunters, from the lowly goblins, which are like weeds, to those who can fly into the sky. Giant dragons with mythical colors, they all have their own special skills.

The high-level promotion of the ranger's professional specialty [Enemy] [Hunting Heart] is a specialty that only the King of Hunting and the Bow of Nature can master. [Hunting Heart] is somewhat similar to Woody's Demon Hunting Heart. Similar, but different from the latter's emphasis on physical changes, the King of Hunting puts more emphasis on weapon preparation. He also has an alias, called Weapon Master, not the kind of weapon master who can play with any weapon, but He is a weapon master who specializes in one craft.

It is said that their profession also has an ancient ritual of spirit hunting vows with demon hunters. Before hunting, they can communicate with nature. If they can be recognized by nature, then the hunters who take the initiative can get temporary bonuses and improve various attributes value, and can even attach unique enchanting effects to arrows and other frontal weapons, such as bleeding, poison, paralysis, armor breaking...

And when it comes to debugging weapons, they also have their own unique methods.

Woody, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, looked at Kaverman, who was maintaining and managing the weapons in a smooth manner, and felt quite comfortable in his heart. After all, good maintenance and enchanting are like a wonderful song and dance performance, which makes people happy physically and mentally.

"Successful study."

"You looked at the weapons of a veteran ranger...you got his advice..."

"Enchanting +2, Knowledge +1"

……

I don’t know how long it took, about three hours after leaving Huangshi Town, the sun was high above the sky, but the sun in November brought only warmth, not scorching heat, and the scenery in front of me finally changed, and it was no longer the same The rocky beaches and the sparse weeds, even though the huge cliffs on both sides are majestic and spectacular, long-term viewing will still bring quite serious aesthetic fatigue, not to mention that these landscapes can only be called amazing. rather than beauty.

However, the following environment made Woody understand that the real green was left here for people to appreciate, and he also understood why River Valley City chose to build a city at the other end of this big rift, because just a downhill, crossed The mountain col, which catches the eye is a vast green like a grassland, spreading across a huge gap in the ground.

The Great Rift Valley has arrived.

It is completely different from the imagined accumulation of yellow sand, strange-shaped lone stones, bare cliffs, and still weathered sand rushing to the end with the wind.

Instead, it is a beautiful pastoral painting composed entirely of forests, plains, and valleys.

In the distance, you can vaguely see the divided cultivated fields being sparsely distributed in a certain part of the plain at the top of the rift valley. At this time, the sky above is even clearer, and the wind from the depths of the Great Rift Valley is also more refreshing. and thorough.

River Valley City is far away.
