"You successfully persuaded a young monk to agree to temporarily ally with you."
"Negotiation +5, Intimidation +2, Speech +3."
Compared with professional skills, the above are basic skills and can also be classified as background skills.
Looking at the scratched data and the warm feeling left in his right hand, Woody looked at Angelina, who was only two steps away from him, and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Is this okay?
Then if he has something to do, should he go and chat with them or something?
However, he had communicated with Weilandu and his aunt Susan before. Why was there no such information prompt at that time? He remembered that he also persuaded his aunt Susan not to buy the Rutov family's winery.
Is it because the monk girl in front of me is a professional?
In "Saint", when skill points accumulate to a certain level, a certain degree of transformation will occur.
Just like negotiation at 5 o'clock is completely different from negotiation at 50 o'clock. The former can at best appease teammates and comfort people after the battle.
In the latter case, you know what to say that will be more beneficial to you, and when dealing with people, 50 points of negotiation will yield more benefits than 5 points of negotiation.
It is said that if you reach 200 points in diplomacy, you can even easily persuade hostile intelligent creatures to stop attacking you, and with the help of neutral intelligent creatures, even with you by your side, your allies will never give up hope.
In the previous life, there were players who specifically gave skill points, and the boundaries were drawn based on the performance differences of the natives.
For example, (0-10) is level 1, (11-50) is level 2, (51-100) is level 3... and so on.
At level 5 and above, your judgment and saving throw values in relevant aspects are basically maximized. You can negotiate with others without any disadvantages. Your speech can easily arouse people's emotions. In terms of swordsmanship, few people can parry you, and alchemy is even more powerful.
It’s guaranteed…
Soon, Woody followed Angelina into the slums.
The roads in the ghetto are terrible.
Last time Woody came by carriage, he didn't have much intuitive experience, but this time he walked, he deeply felt the unique charm of this neighborhood.
The stench lingered in the air, and the sewers were filled with a rotten smell all year round. Woody even saw a severed hand, but it was already covered with maggots.
In the alley, the feces and urine of each house were dumped on the ground everywhere, making Woody even think that this was not a public thoroughfare, but an open-air public toilet.
Angelina and Garro were used to it, and they had no reaction.
Scenes like this are becoming more common as the shacks and alleys become increasingly low on both sides. You can also see drunkards lying down on the roadside talking nonsense. Such people usually spend their last coins in the pub.
He won't come out until he has spent all his money.
Because of yesterday's sahuagin incident, there were sounds of banging wooden boards coming from many shacks on the street.
It seems that the windows and doors are completely sealed, and the only way to enter is through the small hole left only for one person to get through.
It seems that the sahuagin attack here has caused the residents here to be in panic and panic.
They all know that the people who can protect them are not the city guards of Palermo, nor the gangs who collect protection fees.
But myself. And only myself.
When Woody passed a street, he found that the bridge at the other end of the street had been blocked by many people. Woody recognized that this road led to the East Side of Palermo, which is where he came from Green Pine Lane last time.
that road.
Angelena also stopped, but she didn't get close, she just waited and watched.
In slums, large numbers of people mean chaos, and you never know what this group of people will do at the next moment.
Of course she can block it, but the same cannot be said for the children around her.
The best way to avoid chaos is to stay away from him.
But after taking two steps, Angelina stopped because Woody didn't follow her.
She was a little strange, but as soon as she turned around, she found that the young man, who had a gentle face at first, now had a sinking face and was particularly dignified.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go, aren't we going to find Lin?"
Hearing Angelina's call, Woody immediately returned to his original state.
"What happened just now? You look so ugly."
"It seems to be sealed there. It should be the Sahuagin incident this time. Those arrogant and cowardly nobles seem to have given up on this area. In order to make excuses, they actually said that a slum area was infected."
Angelina, whose perception is much higher than Woody's, already knows why the group of slum dwellers gathered around the bridge.
Because the guards at the other end were building fortifications to prevent anyone from passing the bridge.
There had been a dispute over this matter just now, and several people were killed on the spot and thrown into the river. When Angelina heard this, she actually stopped listening. It was really outrageous.
"It's really overbearing."
Even Angelina, who had always had a bad feeling for the residents of the slums, couldn't help but reprimand the city guard for his behavior.
But Woody didn't speak, because he was still digesting the information he just heard from the residents.
——"Someone turned into a monster."
——"They said that after Old Wood was hit by a carriage, he turned into a monster. They made me laugh to death. Yesterday, Old Wood greeted me. How could he be a monster?"
——"I heard that the entire Tulip District has been blocked."
Unlike Angelina and those ghetto residents who didn't believe it, he understood deeply what the monster they were referring to was.
Because if he gives up struggling, he will probably become like that in a few days.
Corruption aberrations.
The poor creatures infected by the corrupt mother tree are also His favorite sacrifices.
Now he could still feel the lump of flesh hanging on his neck. In addition to itching, it was also red and swollen, making people want to pinch it.
You don't need to touch Woody to know that they have expanded a lot.
Woody could already imagine the overlapping red cysts and yellow abscesses blooming one after another on the skin that had turned white-gray, like a bunch of grapes that had gone bad.
"However, the worst should not have come yet."
"still have a chance."
Although the monster's appearance in the inner city this time shows that the person behind the scenes has already achieved a certain level of strength and is not very afraid of the local church and forces.
But he also found a helper, a monk who could see through the weak points wandering within its body.
At that time, some people relied on the combination of monks and rangers to clear out many mutated elite monsters around the corrupt mother tree. As long as they could attack the core, no matter how powerful the profane cultist was, it could not change that he was essentially a creature of flesh and blood.
If you are killed, you will die!
But before that, he had to help Angelina get Lin back, otherwise, the covenant would be nothing more than an empty talk.
He and Angelina didn't foolishly plan to search every block. Although the slums were terrible, they accounted for one-third of Palermo's population. Searching here was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Angelena plans to visit the famous underground black market in the slums this time. There is a witch there who is very good at fortune-telling, and many nobles will ask her gang to find lost jewelry.
She hoped to hear good news from her this time.
But before that, Angelina sent Garro home who reported the news.
Then the two of them walked towards the black market.
