143 'Business Travel'

After it was safe, Woody was in the mood to check the flashing information prompts. Rows of data appeared in his retinas one after another like business travelers waiting to enter the city.

——"You are severely affected by poison...the constitution poison saving throw begins..."

——"Successfully adding skill points...your immunity is 29 → 50 points, your immunity has been improved to a deeper level..."

——"Zuoerbuqun selects a target for skill improvement...the target is "immune"...your immunity skill has been improved by LV1 (50 points). On any determination, your immunity will receive an immunity determination equivalent to 100 points."

——"Immune enhancement, saving throw successful."

——"Lethal poison turns into chronic poison... You will suffer a total of 50 points of poison damage in the next day."



These reactions are almost engraved in his DNA. When Woody immediately discovered the hidden black hand attacking him, he felt the weakness of his body. Naturally, he used the remaining skill points without hesitation, and Zhuo Zuoqun had not yet chosen.

upgrade goals.

It was just like the encounter with the drow that day, except this time the opponent was more powerful.

Thoughts from the gods.

He lowered his head and looked at the natural shrine that was still emitting whispers and malicious whispers. The blood-red light had completely covered up the gray material of the Shark-Lizard's skull, making it look particularly frightening. But fortunately, the natural shrine could illuminate his body.

Most of the abilities can be easily blocked. If it were him himself, then there really wouldn't be anything he could do with this divine will.

Fortunately, in the last life, the magical functions of shrines had already been popularized. As soon as Woody discovered the divine invasion, he took out the natural shrine and used the shrine that also contained the will of the World Tree to deal with the malice from the bottomless abyss.

goddess.

The only pity is that the shrine she worked so hard to make has been abandoned and cannot be used. Unless she has other ways to control this divine mind, handing it over to the temple in this area may be a good choice in Terra.

But now that the three foreign gods of Asenland are busy taking care of themselves, it is almost difficult to deal with this ray of divine thought from the Spider Goddess from the other side of the star world just by relying on the indigenous gods here.

After all, they knew nothing about Rose's ability, so let them face Rose's pure dimensionality reduction attack.

In the end, Woodis thought about it and, despite his weakened body caused by chronic toxins, he finally decided to keep it by his side.

Because this is the safest way, discarding the divine mind that currently cannot be destroyed is no different than letting it go, and the consequences are no different from choosing to commit suicide.

He could only choose to do this, keeping this most dangerous thing beside him, so that the natural shrine would not lose its effectiveness and allow the divine thoughts inside to escape.

What's more, apart from the occasional whisper in your ears, there is actually no risk if you keep it around. There is no need to worry about Rose's subsequent retaliation.

Because Rose's divinity has been wrapped by the will of the World Tree at this moment, the information she observed cannot be transmitted back to the original body.

Therefore, even if the goddess notices the disappearance of this ray of divine thought, she will also realize that the reason for the disappearance of this ray of divine thought is that she feels the extremely uncomfortable will of the world tree. She will not doubt him at all, but will start to

Doubt yourself as to whether you are being targeted by nature's will.

And his risk can be close to zero. After all, in the final analysis, he did nothing, just killed some drow, and he is not his believer.

Unless Rose defies heaven and chooses to perform a divine descent here and starts looking for the whereabouts of the divine mind, he might be picked out.

Then he doesn't have to struggle anymore. No one else here would be able to face a powerful god who is deliberately targeting him when he is only at level five.

Moreover, judging from the fact that this goddess had remained calm and had no news from Asenrant in her previous life until her destruction, she definitely did not have that courage.

Besides, for Rose who has been weighing the pros and cons, it is definitely not worth it to rashly provoke the will of the World Tree at this period for a ray of divine thought that is unknown whether it is missing or not.

Although he hates the natural god system to the core, it does not prevent him from being patient for a short period of time.

After all, for countless thousands of years, since He was expelled from the Elf pantheon, as a fallen person, He has been under the hands of the Elf believers headed by the Father of Oak and Corellon. The radical He suffered countless losses before choosing to hide his capabilities and bide his time quietly.

Weave a spider web in the corner and slowly wait for the prey to arrive.

Otherwise, why would he, like his believers, huddle in the dark realm and only enjoy themselves around the mediocrity between believers, when he clearly possesses powerful priesthoods such as revenge, murder, betrayal, and the realm of chaos?

After thinking clearly, Woody directly put the shrine into the dimensional ring and placed it in the most inconspicuous corner. If there is a chance to directly communicate with the will of the world tree in this plane, it can be used to eliminate it.

After all, from the current point of view, there are many ways for Asenrant to fully digest this divine idea without attracting the revenge of the vicious goddess.

But currently the only option he can choose is this method.



Early the next morning, before the morning fog melted in the sunshine, Woody looked back at the clean wooden house. He had spent a lot of time here, but by this time it was empty, and the pit in the corner had also been cleared by him.

It was filled in just as it was when he first moved here.

Finally, with the sound of the wooden door closing, the black-haired young man turned and left the quiet hut and walked towards the entrance of the manor.

There are already many servants walking through the path in the early morning. The complicated labor and the necessary cleaning work of the manor every day can keep them busy from dawn to dusk, but this is already better than foraging for food on the sea.

Fishermen are so much better.

Through comparison, these servants, who were easily satisfied, all showed extremely respectful courtesy and good morning greetings to Woody with smiles on their faces.

After that night, almost everyone knew that Woody Aleister was no longer a boy living in other people's homes, but a real strong man.

And the strong will be respected no matter where they are.

There was no one in the restaurant at this time. Apart from him, there was only the busy chef who was preparing breakfast for the noble people of this manor. When Woody passed by, he happened to have prepared some relatively simple breakfast, but Woody didn't

If you mind, just ask them to bring it up one by one.

Toasted waffles, butter sandwich bread, and a large piece of beef pie, paired with a cup of hot milk, which is the most heartwarming thing in the cold wind.

After eating, even the pain caused by the chronic toxins that still exist in the body and have not disappeared, does not seem so painful.

Woody ate very slowly, but the food was not too much. He finished it quickly. He first wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a white napkin from eating the pie, and then looked at the door where there was still no movement.

, so he put down the knife and fork in his hand.

Walking directly towards the door, Cromwell was already waiting at the door.

"Master Woody, the carriage is ready."

"Um."

Woody responded lightly, looking behind the curtains on the second floor of the manor. With his perception, he could easily feel that there were two glances coming at him just now, but he did not mention it.

With a normal face, he boarded the Edith family's carriage under Cromwell's guidance. However, after boarding the carriage, he heard the faint sobbing of the girl brought by the wind, and he finally sighed quietly.

Then he saw a dimensional bag placed on an empty table in the carriage carriage, and fell into silence.

It was filled with gold coins, and the amount was no less than the compensation his aunt gave him last time. Obviously, this dimensional bag was prepared by her.

But at this time, there is nothing to say in farewell. It only adds to the sadness. It is more important to find the Astral Whales as soon as possible and take them out of this cage as soon as possible.

Woody looked at the outline of the winery through the curtains, and finally squeezed out only two words from his throat.

"Let's set off."

Just like this, the carriage headed towards the Merchant Street in the trading area.

Today is the day when a group of merchants named Yuehai that he had made a deposit with previously set off.



"What? It's gone? And it was two days ago?"

"How come I don't know! Shouldn't you inform me?"

"Huh? Mr. Kraft from Merchant Street."

When Woody arrived at the agreed place, he found that many horses were pulling goods in a long queue, but the emblem of the Moon Sea Merchant Group never appeared until Woody found the intermediary in charge of the matter at the time, named Kraft.

He is a man who is well-known in Merchant Street. When Kraft saw Woody's arrival, he immediately explained with a rather apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Woody, because the registration form responsible for contacting passengers has disappeared, and the Yuehai Merchant Group has indeed been disbanded. I will pay you part of the compensation here, do you think it is okay?"

"Why did they break up?" Woody looked confused. After all, this was an unforeseen disaster. He had never heard of a traveling caravan disappearing just as he was about to go out. Besides, he didn't want compensation. He just wanted to leave now.

Palermo.

"I don't know why, but one of the families behind this business group went bankrupt overnight, and the remaining few directly divided it up. Yuehai and the guards walked and ran. Alas, the goods were all gone.

, and also said that the caravan, I am also very painful, Your Excellency, you are already the sixth guest I have received who has come to question me."

When Kraft said this, he shrugged helplessly, and then sighed.

Obviously, there were not many people coming to see him these days, and he was very busy because of this matter. After all, the Yuehai Merchant Group could be disbanded, but if he still wanted to eat, he couldn't run away.

But after he finished speaking, he came over and whispered.

"Besides, I heard that the ruling office has been dispatched, and that family is probably doomed..."

When he said this, the intermediary who was responsible for communicating this matter had a cryptic look on his face. He also kept his voice extremely low for fear of being heard, but what he showed on his face was gloating about his misfortune.

The trade area is not far from the aristocratic area, and most people's contact with the aristocrats is often limited to the high-ranking master riding a carriage, even a small aristocrat, is enough to make them envious and jealous, so when they hear the aristocrats

When they fell down, their first reaction was the refreshing feeling of a group of people being pulled down from the clouds, which is commonly known as "not good".

Woody made a sound after hearing this, and asked directly regardless of the sigh expressed by the intermediary man in front of him.

"What's the name of that family?"

"It seems that the Rutov family owns the winery. Many of the wines in Palermo originally came from their family. Have you ever tasted the Flame Beauty with two gold coins a glass? The taste, oh, I really want to taste it again.

"

The agent man talked more and more enthusiastically, and when he had a disagreement, he had the urge to drag Woody directly to a nearby pub and get drunk.

But Woody was silent. This cunning man wearing a felt hat and a thicker cotton coat thought he was sad because he couldn't travel, so he immediately took advantage of the situation.

"Oh, it's all the Rutov family's fault. If it was not unlucky sooner or later, it would happen just when the caravan was about to set off. Isn't this deceiving? But let me tell you, don't be sad. There are plenty of caravans. I

I’ll keep an eye on you and keep it safe for you to find the next bus to the Kovar Forest..."

"How long will it take?" The place Woody wants to go spans three city-states, more than ten cities, and passes through the Moon Sea Kingdom. Very few business travelers will choose this road to go to the back. After all, most people

I was thinking of transporting goods to the Northland, but the entrance to the Northland was thousands of miles away.

"Well... well, it will take about half a month, you see..." Kraft rubbed his hands, obviously he didn't feel confident when he said this.

"Then forget it."

Woody just collected the money and turned to leave without looking back. But as soon as he went out, he heard the sound of horse hooves and wheels grinding on the floor. He saw the overwhelming squeaking sound and saw the busy streets.

It didn't stop, and the business street with cars and people suddenly became confused.

Is it possible that he wants to return to the winery now to give them a surprise, or is he going to stay with Angelina for a while? But what should be said and done was said and done yesterday, and now he will go back

, he will feel a little embarrassed and have been delayed here for too long.

Can he continue to play the role of a noble here, or accept a few useless commissions for a little experience or rare items that may not be used at all in the future?

No! This was not his original intention.

Woody had already made up his mind and chose to directly look for a caravan leaving the city, intending to solve this helpless journey crisis through a relay.

Fortunately, he has a magical tool for camping in the wild, the Sea Breeze Conch. Although he is in the water, it is better than resting alone in the wilderness.

As he said, Woody immediately prepared to leave for the mule and horse market, where he planned to buy a horse for transportation. This would save a lot of energy at the end of the day. There was no need to buy it originally, because generally speaking, there would be many people in the caravan.

There are fewer spare mules and horses. After all, the risks on the road are not small. If the horse pulling the cart dies, how will the goods be pulled back?

But now that I have changed my policy, I naturally have to deal with the journey in the wild on my own.

Fortunately, he is not afraid. Anyway, at this time, Asenrant is far from being in a dangerous situation where monsters are everywhere.

As long as he is a little careful, he can still reach his destination safely in this wilderness with an average challenge level of 0-15.
