Shadow Covenant

Chapter 89 "Worryless"

When I arrived at the secret shop under the Thousand Towers Society again, it was still the "activated" door that could speak.

But this time it recognized Woody.

"Hey, little Tver, your big customer is here!"

"Good day, Traveler!"

The wooden door yelled at the inside with one face, and treated Woody with great respect.

The character of the activated secret door is always strange, and Woody doesn't mind it, Shi Shiran stepped into the door of the secret door.

The business of the Traveler’s Store seems to be good today. Several teams and individuals are gathered around the counter, sitting or standing. Woody’s entry has not attracted anyone’s attention. It's just that the ribbon covering his eyes gives him a mysterious atmosphere out of thin air, but for adventurers traveling north and south, blindfolded people are not magical. There are many like this, even some occasionally When the half-elf teammates form a team, you have to get used to his naked body...

After waiting for a while, Tversk was released from the crowd, but he still looked polite at this time.

The mage apprentice was holding a wooden box specially used to hold potions, and the wooden box was more than half empty, only a few lonely shadows in the corner.

"Oh, dear sir, good afternoon, long time no see."

At the moment, Tweer walked up to Woody from the counter with a smile on his face, and greeted the big customer in front of him.

"Business is good, I want to sell some materials, and buy some things from here... Is this the "Dark Vision" potion? "

Woody saw the reagent in Tweer's hand. The color and luster and the small body of the bottle all proved that it was a spare potion that he often needed during his adventures as a player.

"Yes, Your Excellency, it is the dark vision potion. Many people came to buy it today. Siren Day is about to pass, and many convoys are ready to leave..."

The mage apprentice put down the half-empty test kit in his hand, then took the list Woody handed him, and explained in a rambling manner.

Of course he didn't think Woody would not know.

But Woody was not because of this, but because of his 17-point perception, he could easily hear the key words of the group of adventurers who bought the dark vision potion not long after he came in.

"Drow!"

……

"If you want me to say, we should start now, otherwise we will be robbed by Li Huo's gang!"

Palermo is a necessary part of the north-south commercial road, and you can also pass through here to the Crescent Mountains that stretch from north to south. Adventurers are not uncommon here. In the secret shop, one of the adventure teams that is ready to go, a strong The big man with a huge sword on his back was yelling, his voice was so loud that Woody felt that even if he was twice as far away, he could still hear what he said clearly.

"Keep your voice down! Also, Gruul, we are making preparations, and taking risks without preparation is extremely irresponsible!"

In the team of adventurers, a female ranger who was carrying a bow and arrow and was putting the dark vision potion she just got on her belt said helplessly.

"But I didn't say that I don't need to buy things. I just think that I can win more rewards now. You must know that the head of a drow, that group of piranha-like nobles, is willing to offer a hundred gold coins for each person." High price! It's much more cost-effective than cutting the jackal's ear with a knife."

Although the burly man named Gruul defended in a low voice, it was still enough to attract the attention of the entire hall.

"It's really bad luck to come out with you! Let's go! Has anyone told you that rest is also part of preparation! If you are not satisfied, you can talk to the captain or Miss Kamina."

The female ranger who filled the potion dragged and dragged the burly man out of the hall, and Woody's gaze disappeared as their backs went away. With just a few words, he already knew some information.

"Their target is drow! And it seems that there is a commission!"

what does that mean?Drow was found in the city?Or did his letter have an effect?And judging from the rewards offered by the nobles, it was obvious that the impersonation of the nobles had been discovered.

While staring at the mage apprentice in front of him without changing his expression to judge his spoils, Woody pricked up his ears slightly, trying to analyze the current situation in the city from the continuing conversation.

He had thought that Drow would be exposed, but he didn't think so soon...

However, most of the conversations among the remaining adventurers stopped at "the number and strength of drow" and "what to do with the reward after completing the task."

The cause and process of the incident is unclear.

Watching the backs of the other adventure teams leaving, all Woody could do was pray silently that they would not encounter Drow.

Getting lost in a burrow dug by goblin bears or kobolds should be their best ending. Compared with the first batch, their strength is much worse. Drow is not a rabbit in the forest underground. At your disposal.

Sometimes the identity of the hunter and the prey changes, often in a single thought.

At this time, Tweer, the clerk of the secret magic store, had already taken off his appraisal eyes, and said to Woody with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, these special fluorite fragments cost 2150 gold coins in total. If you buy all the materials on your list, you only need 1500 gold coins."

Hearing this price, although he had expected it in his heart, Woody couldn't help being speechless.

However, building and buying finished products are not the same, not to mention that the price of a curved sword is similar to that of a large sword or a machete of the same level. If it is a dagger, it can be much cheaper, but that kind of weapon is at most an alternative option, and there are more A good one is naturally full.

"Okay, prepare everything for me, and by the way, I also need a scroll of "Language Proficiency", it's best to make sure it was transcribed by a mage who has the underground language. "

These are impossible to replace, either to save money and spend time, or to save time and spend more money, in Woody's view, both can be chosen, but now time is more important than money.

"I'm not in a hurry to get the rest. I'm going to rent one of your mage laboratories from you in two days. It will take about half a day."

Woody thought of the shark skull that had been transported to the winery, and the original skin of the shark.

"Okay, sir, I will prepare it for you."

Hearing Woody's explanation, Tweer's smile became brighter. After all, compared to serving the group of adventurers who had to bargain with him for potions whose selling price was only 5-10 gold coins, the guests in front of him were obviously worth communicating with.

"By the way, I heard them talking about drows. What's going on? The nobles are offering a reward. Is there any adult in the city who was hurt by the drows?"

Woody looked at the mage apprentice who was busy in front of the material cabinet, and took an opportunity to start a conversation. Compared with the adventurers, the mage apprentice may receive more messages than them.

"Hey, isn't it that group of drow elves who want to hide behind the scenes and try to control the whole city, but they were discovered by the priest Geweier of the Dawn Temple, so now the group of nobles who found that their families have been replaced I was so angry that everyone offered a generous reward, saying that they would hire high-level adventurers to wipe out the drow tribe."

"Earl Rhys even offered a high price of 100 gold coins for a drow's head. I heard that the famous drow was found in his lover's mansion..."

While holding the materials, Tweer told Woody the scattered information he knew.

Woody listened with gusto at first, until Tweer's admiring sermon.

"Hey, thanks to our "Queen of Wine" in Palermo, without her assistance, we might not be able to find those drows hiding in the shadows."

"Queen of Wine?" Woody was startled inwardly.

"Yes, don't you know? It's Susan Edith, the owner of the wine estate..."

"Really, well, I haven't been in Palermo long..."

"Hey, I haven't been here for long, but the Edith family, I have studied it carefully. The transformation from meritorious nobles to commercial nobles in the past ten years is not something ordinary people can do. There must be..."

Tweer handed him the materials and scrolls in his hand, and when he was about to chat for a few more words, he found that the conversation of the guests in front of him suddenly decreased a lot.

In the end, he left the secret shop with just a few hasty confessions.

"Not interested in this?"

Tver felt a little resentful that he missed improving the favorability of customers, as if he was annoyed that he had talked too much just now.

"I knew I should have changed the subject."

he thought.

……

At this time, Woody returned to the carriage and immediately ordered the driver.

"Take the road to the blacksmith shop, and then go straight back to the wine estate."

Originally, he wanted to find out which tailor had better craftsmanship. He planned to use the leather armor of the shark lizard to make body armor for himself, but now it seemed that he had to go back to the wine estate first.

His aunt doesn't seem to let him worry...

　Because it is a transition, it is very difficult to write again, and there will be nights, so I will have a meal first and continue to code.
