The sunlight cut into pieces by the blinds spilled into the house through the windows, warming the small house.
The high cry of seagulls has been heard through the roof, and the brain's thinking is gradually awakening.
This was the most solid sleep Woody had ever had. Throughout the night, there was almost no movement to wake him up, not even a mouse.
Perhaps because they had just experienced a war, this group of animals that knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages had already fled.
But this has nothing to do with him facing the next day with a smile. He is now getting dressed and tidying up.
Prepare to take advantage of the bright sunshine in the morning to have a leisurely breakfast in the restaurant, and then spend the mid-afternoon in the bustling Palermo.
The countdown to leaving has already begun, not even two days.
To be precise, we have to gather at the trade area tomorrow night.
The next day, while it was still dark, I had to leave this coastal city where the original owner had stayed for six years.
Head to the boundless wilderness to start a somewhat exciting business trip.
Although this is already familiar to Woody and does not even cause the slightest disturbance, the oppressive feeling and image of the corrupted mother tree wandering in the star realm will still stimulate him to relax slightly in his midnight dreams from time to time.
rhythm.
Although there are still three years left, he is prepared to face the collapse of the Wall of Destiny that affects the entire multiverse, causing the gods to turn into saints and descend into the mortal world, plus the female dragon in hell and the gang of bastards in the bottomless abyss.
Archfire of evil creatures.
We cannot say that the entire multiverse is in a mess, we can only say that every material plane, the outer plane, and even the inner plane are in a mess.
Two gods of elements appeared and directly dragged several fallen material planes into the inner plane.
Even though Terra is as powerful as the largest material plane, has as many legends as dogs, and has saints everywhere, there are still incidents where several cities are sacrificed by demons or destroyed due to divine evil from time to time.
But even so, Woody still prefers to go there.
Different from the arrival of no gods, there are only three or two demigods, big cats and kittens, the legendary Arsenant, and if the sky of Terra falls, someone or a god will inevitably hold it up, and the gods will not just watch.
Their largest faith pasture was destroyed like this, with a population of tens of billions, and the souls represented behind it, it was enough for them to pay everything.
"Hey, I feel a lot lighter today, and my eyesight is obviously much better."
As soon as he went out and walked through the garden paths where the dew had not disappeared, and smelled the fresh air, Woody was keenly aware of something unusual about his body, as if he had been reborn.
Something is wrong.
Woody immediately opened the data panel with his mind, and sure enough, there was an unfamiliar line of prompts on the properties page, and judging from the time, it should have happened after he fell asleep.
Woody quickly clicked on it, and surprisingly found that there was a constant blessing on it that he didn't know when he got it.
——"Gift of the Majesty of the Storm": This is the recognition of the extremely proud bronze dragons to their human friends. From now on, your body will acquire some of the characteristics of the bronze dragons. Your life span will be in the face of this.

Strength and Constitution attributes +1.”
——"This is a reward given by the Bronze Dragon to those who did well in the trial. However, the reward is often delayed for a moment due to the dragon's reserve. However, compared to the short time and lifespan of human beings, they often wait until they think of it.
Those who should be rewarded are no longer in the world, but there will still be a few lucky people who get this gift! - The Basic Ecology of Dragons "Bronze Dragon Chapter"
…
When did this happen?
Woody was stunned for a moment when he looked at the data on the property panel.
After all, this thing came completely unexpectedly, he was not prepared at all, and according to this data information.
In other words, last night, the legendary bronze dragon was watching him without his knowledge...
Woody's mind flashed with countless possibilities, but what lingered in his mind at this moment was about his cheap father.
It seems that he really has a close relationship with the legendary bronze dragon.
This gift is a powerful proof. Woody, who has had some dealings with metal dragons, and even received a golden dragon's gift "Glory of Justice" for a certain character, understands that this kind of gift is only possible if the relationship is so good that it is difficult to attach.
He will take such good care of his descendants.
So...can I seek help directly from this bronze dragon?
Woody is a bit late-minded, but he is definitely not a slow mover.
So he didn't even have time to eat breakfast and went straight to Aunt Susan.
Susan, who had been busy all night but was still energetic and was slowly sorting out things at the winery today, was naturally extremely surprised when Woody came to ask about the Bronze Dragon, and she was curious about how he learned the news.
Naturally, Woody couldn't tell the reason for the system panel, so he could only tell the news about the bronze dragon that he learned from Angelina.
I told her directly.
After hearing that it was a companion who had been on an underground expedition, Susan nodded slightly at first, and then said awkwardly.
"She has left here, and she and your father had a lot of friction. This help is purely based on the original vow."
Obviously, Susan Edith lied in this sentence. After all, bronze dragons are essentially good dragons in some way, but they are not stupid, and they will not be stupid enough to work for a human who has had a gap. Even if there is
The powerful oath ability forces it to serve as a last resort, but no one will force it with the gifts attached to it.
But after hearing these words, Woody gave up most of his thoughts about asking her about the legendary bronze dragon. It seemed that there were some unspeakable things in the past, and since the bronze dragon had left, I am afraid that in a short time
Unable to contact.
It seems that in the end I can only rely on myself...
But there is good news. Susan also told Woody directly that the clues about livestock he investigated yesterday became clearer. The group in the executive office were very efficient under the pressure of the earl and did not spend much effort.
, they thoroughly inspected the ships that had been transporting livestock to sea in the near future.
Five ships in total.
Except for one merchant ship carrying cattle and sheep to the north, the remaining four livestock ships were all shipped to the south. In the past few days, the news could be obtained through the letters delivered by passenger pigeons coming and going from the port. The murderer could be traced out quickly.
The chamber of commerce or family behind the ship has also been secretly monitored by the ruling office.
Woody nodded after hearing this. This is the power a city has when necessary.
"I suspect it is the Rutov family. The other four suspected merchant ships are not related to the Edith family, only Rutov..."
When Susan Edith said this name, a chill appeared on her pretty face. Obviously, what was missing now was the evidence from several other ships. As soon as the evidence arrived, the guilt of the Rutov family murderer would be iron-clad.
If they cannot reasonably and legally explain the direction of the livestock, then some spells that should be used will tell everyone the truth.
The spell casters in the temple and the ruling hall, with the blessing of the ritual circle, their ability to distinguish lies is not generally high.
What's more, even if the nobles have the means to avoid it, the sailors of the ships sailing out to sea cannot deceive others.
Most ordinary people in Asenland are powerless when facing spellcasters.
"That's good. Now that the murderer behind the scenes has surfaced, the next step is simple. Just make him pay the price he deserves."
Woody also rarely showed a hint of murderous intent, but he did not intend to rush forward recklessly to vent his anger. For the nobles, what was more painful than killing him was having them witness the removal of their noble honor.
If the person behind this incident is really what Susan thought, then there will be one less Viscount of Palermo.
But just as Woody and Susan were discussing the suspicions of the Rutov family, Cromwell came in from outside the study.
He glanced at Woody first, and then with Susan's nod of confirmation, he told Woody the breaking news he had just learned.
"Madam, according to the spies' report, the two brothers from the Rutov family... disappeared."
Susan stood up immediately, looking surprised but at the same time pleasantly surprised.
"Fleeing in fear of crime? Now it seems that you are not bringing it upon yourself!"
She immediately gave the order and waved her hand.
"Where can two useless nobles run away! The port has been blocked. Cromwell, you go notify the Temple of Dawn and go to Rutov Manor. They can't run too far!"
"Forget it, I'll go with you."
Susan seemed a little excited. After all, although this was a well-planned murder, the rewards behind it were equally astonishing.
