061 'Morning in Palermo'

However, everything in the water naturally has nothing to do with Woody who climbed up the plank road. The strangeness of the sharks in the water just now has been forgotten by Woody. He needs to find a place to rest immediately.

Taverns and hotels are a good choice.

There was still some time before dawn, and he had no intention of rushing back to the winery overnight, not to mention whether his physical condition could hold on.

He just said that he was not sure yet about the range of activities of that group of drow. It would be risky to go back now. It would be fun if they bumped into them again.

His current combat power is greatly reduced.

And even if there is no injury or poisoning.

If the demon hunter profession wants to kill a ninth-level priest with a sneak attack, then at least his stealth must be able to hide from the priest's perception.

Generally speaking, excluding the extraordinary items that increase the attributes of a ninth-level priest, her normal naked perception attribute definitely exceeds 20 points, and the stealth points corresponding to extraordinary perception are at least 100 points.

Only by reaching this level of stealth can one get close to her without being noticed.

For this reason, Woody must raise at least two professional levels to be able to successfully attack in a sneak attack. This must exclude other equipment or specialties that increase her perception attributes.

The result of not having enough strength and acting blindly.

Woody has seen countless players fall into the River Styx and be reincarnated.



However, within a few minutes of walking on the plank road, his condition deteriorated drastically and became very bad!

As for the culprit, it was naturally the drow priest's magical power.

A row of data appeared in Woody's eyes.

——"Your physical condition has declined and you have entered a state of poisoning."

Seeing this, he looked a little helpless, but not surprised.

It's just that I originally thought it could last longer, but I didn't expect...

Obviously, the 6 points of damage reduction brought by the Evil Nemesis has been offset, and coupled with the invalidation of the spell scroll, his constitution has returned to 18 points.

Therefore, the powerful vitality and life recovery ability brought by the extraordinary physique are no longer effective.

This series of chain reactions caused the evenly matched balance in the body to be instantly broken.

The toxin factor that the drow priest applied to him reoccupied the high ground.

Although Woody knew that as long as he survived the first wave of fatal saving throws, the poison would not kill him, and he would only have to resist for the rest.

However, the declining blood volume and the suppressed toxins as the body temperature rose began to flow through the body through the blood, causing dizziness, coma, hallucinations and other negative states, which still made him somewhat unable to resist.

Fortunately, the demon hunter's mutated physique enhanced his immunity, preventing him from fainting directly.

But even so, Woody's head still felt dizzy.

I can only rely on my strong perseverance to hold on to the rope and stumble along the pier plank road under the night.

Empty wooden boxes piled on both sides and merchant ships parked outside the plank road kept passing by him.

From a distance, it looks a bit like a drunkard who fell into the river drunk.

In this way, Woody walked for almost ten minutes on the 500-meter-long plank road used to park ships and unload cargo.

After actually setting foot on land, Woody shook his eyes that were blurred due to hallucination, then looked for a light somewhere and approached there.

The ones with lights on at this time were either hotels or pubs.

Sure enough, as Woody gradually approached the street lit with orange lights, the noise of sailors and mercenaries drinking and chatting gradually came out through the window, along with the aroma of food and the mellow aroma of ale.

It removes most of the smell of fermented algae and rotten fish in the sea breeze.

There are many horse-drawn carriages parked on both sides of the street, but unlike those in the trading area, most of the horse-drawn carriages here are used to pull goods.

Just when Woody was about to hold on to his groggy body and enter a relatively quiet tavern, for some reason, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a carriage parked at the entrance of a tavern.

Unlike other carriages that pulled goods, that carriage was a rare double carriage, and the other mules and horses used to pull goods were even shorter than the horses in this carriage.

This is a retired war horse that can only be used by nobles. The most important thing is that although the poison made Woody's eyes a little blurry, he could vaguely see that the family emblem on the carriage looked familiar.

As he got closer, the emblem of the Edith family gradually became clearer.



A new day begins in the dock area in the early morning with the sound of the suspension bridge's creaking iron cables turning.

Wisps of white smoke also began to rise from the chimneys of the houses in the dock area. Accompanied by the refreshing sea breeze and the singing of seagulls, they gradually dissipated under the golden sunshine.

The dead city gradually became noisy and noisy, and as time went by, more and more people walked out of their homes, the streets became congested, and the markets became bustling.

This day, for most people in Palermo, is ordinary and boring.

But for the Edith family's wine estate, it was dull and depressing, as if a storm was gathering.

It also represents the mood of the owner of this manor at the moment. All the maids and male servants are silent and cautious, for fear that they will be angered if they do something wrong.

Although Mrs. Susan does not look like this kind of person, the job at the winery is not easy to come by, and compared with other noble estates, it is much better here, so it is better to be careful.

"Have you not had breakfast yet, madam?"

Cromwell looked at the maid who was standing at the door of the bedroom pushing the dining cart but did not enter, and asked gently.

"No, the lady just went in. Madam, she asked me to come out..."

Before the maid could finish speaking, Susan Edith's voice came from inside, but it was less soft and more rational than before.

"Cromwell, are you out there?"

"Yes, madam, I'm back!" Cromwell replied.

"Then you go to the study and wait for a while!"

"Okay, ma'am."



Soon, Cromwell, who was waiting in the study, saw the owner of the wine estate who had already finished dressing. Today she was wearing a long golden wide-sleeved dress, which completely highlighted her elegant and noble temperament, but this lady's

The foundation on my face is much whiter than usual, which ruins the overall atmosphere.

But before Cromwell could start, a figure emerged from behind the lady, and at the same time he let out an anxious cry.

"Uncle Cromwell, have you found Cousin Woody?"

It was at this time that Weilanduo should have gone to the women's college.

Today she is wearing a swan-like long chiffon dress with cascading ruffles and wide edges vertical to the ankles. Combined with her straight long pale golden hair, she shows the ethereal and holy nature of a girl, just like an angel.

Weilanduo's light blue eyes were full of anxiety and hope, staring intently at the upright manor housekeeper standing in front of her.

However, what he got in the end was Cromwell's 70-degree bow of apology.

"I'm sorry, miss, madam. I went to the city guard hall early in the morning to ask, but the guards patrolling yesterday said they didn't see Master Woody. The college also asked Sir Will to look for him."

"What about the guards who were on duty at the gate of the noble area yesterday? And how did the priest Gwell of the temple respond?" The graceful lady suppressed her daughter's panic, patted her on the shoulder, and signaled her to calm down, and then

Continue to ask.

"I also asked the guard. There was no Master Woody among the pedestrians who walked out yesterday. I don't know about the carriage, but he probably isn't there either."

"Didn't Master Woody disappear this morning?"

"There's no way he's still at the manor this afternoon."

"As for Priest Gwell, I heard that he went to Rogge Town to pray for blessings, and he said he would not be able to return to the city until this afternoon."

Cromwell was also quite helpless. Last afternoon, evening and this morning, he basically did nothing and was entirely responsible for searching for Woody's traces.

Woody has indeed been acting strangely these past few days, but no one could have imagined that he would suddenly disappear.

"That bad girl from the Parker family must have deceived my cousin again!"

When Weilanduo heard that there was no progress, she was about to go out angrily, but before she could take a step away, she was grabbed by her mother.

"Do you have evidence?"

"I didn't! But..."

Weilando wanted to say that she was 100% sure that Woody went out because of that woman.

Grandia.

All the strange things in the past few years were caused by her, and the occasional exchanges were all centered around her.

"Weilanduo, I have a friend from the next class who also said that he likes your kind of skirt..."

"Weilandu, I have a friend in the same class. What should I do if his female friend suddenly ignores him?"

"Weilandu, I have a friend who is celebrating her birthday. What gift would be better for her?"



In the past few years, in Weilando's eyes, Woody was sad because of her, happy because of her, and laughed and cried because of her in everything.

But she really had no evidence, and coming rashly would only bring shame to the Edith family.

"Oh, I originally thought he had changed, but I didn't expect he was still like this, which makes people worry less."

Looking at her daughter's aggrieved and painful expression, Susan suddenly seemed to see her in the past, and her original intention to discipline her turned into a sigh.

"Cromwell, prepare the carriage this afternoon, and I will go to the temple myself."

"Remember to bring a 3-pound box of gold coins as a gift."

"Yes, ma'am."



However, at this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard outside the manor.
