Weilando didn't arrive at Woody's cabin until it was getting dark. Woody was using the "Stone Shaping Glove" in the house at this time, intending to dig a tunnel to the outside world.
The spell attached to the "Stone Shaping Gloves" can not only turn a piece of hard rocky land into mud that is easy to dig, but also after the spell effect is erased, the soft and waxy ground effect will return to hard soil, which can be used to dig secret tunnels.
Or it would be perfect to build underground fortifications.
This was also the escape route he subconsciously left for himself as a senior adventurer after meeting the drow priest...
"Wait a minute, let me change my clothes!"
After Woody heard the knock on the door and opened the door, he looked at Verandot who was getting ready to go, and then at his shirt that was covered in yellow mud, and then he remembered what he was going out for tonight.
He went back to the room to change clothes, cleared away some soil on the ground, and moved a wooden box to cover the entrance to the secret passage that had not yet been built. After doing this, Shi Shiran walked out of the room and accompanied Wei.
Together with Landuo, they walked towards the exit of the manor gate.
Weilanduo did not wear the luxurious pink pleated skirt at noon in the evening, but simple and neutral scholar's clothing.
Looking from the bottom up, in addition to the pair of calfskin boots, the girl is wearing black breeches that highlight her slender legs, and her upper body is a dark brown vest paired with a white shirt, which makes her skin whiter and cleaner.
Coupled with the black top hat that tucked her blond hair back, leaving only a few strands of hair spilling over her ears, this aristocratic girl was a little less weak and a little more heroic.
"How's it going, cousin? I've been choosing for a long time. I originally wanted to wear a skirt, but my mother said that long skirts are not suitable for walking on the streets of the trade district because there are too many people there."
As soon as he came out, Weilanduo started to jump up and down in front of him, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what my aunt said. There should be quite a lot of people on the street."
Woody nodded pertinently. He recalled the various festivals he had celebrated in "The Saint". No matter which big festival it was, people would be indispensable.
Like in Asenland, except for the northern land he was most familiar with, there would be a festival called "Midwinter Festival" on the dead winter day when winter was already half over.
In addition, there are many festivals that come with the change of seasons.
Starting from the "Green Grass Festival" in the Spring Awakening Moon, which celebrates the resurrection of all things, elves and halflings will hold a half-month-long banquet to celebrate the departure of winter.
Then to the "Midsummer Festival", a festival that sprouts music and love, many bards will perform on this day, telling the world the adventure stories they have experienced in the melodious sound of the piano. Even in other planes, there is Shu, the goddess of love.
In a city with the Temple of Na, young men and women are even encouraged to complete the most in-depth communication and exchange under the watchful eye of the god. Unmarried boys and girls are also allowed to stay out that night. Many engagements are often made on the second day of Midsummer Festival.
It’s decided…
The second is the "Autumn Celebration", which celebrates the harvest festival. Nobles hold dinners in their mansions and manors, while urban civilians will go out of their homes at this time to celebrate the joy of the harvest with strangers on the streets.
The governors of many city-states will also invite circuses and parade art performances to be held in the cities under their rule. They also want to take advantage of this festival and hope for a better tax harvest next year.
"Okay then, and..."
After listening to Woody's words, Weilando reluctantly tucked up her curly hat and started chattering.
Woody, on the other hand, was a patient listener. While responding, he was thinking about planning a route to the trade area tonight.
After all, in addition to forging weapons, he also wanted to stop by the caravan assembly point.
In addition to merchants shipping from the docks, Palermo also has caravans traveling by land.
It's just that there are not as many as in the dock area. They are usually concentrated in a merchant gathering street near the south gate of the trade area.
Now that he has solved the curse, he is no longer burdened.
It is time to make an appointment in advance to find a caravan that is about to leave Palermo and go to the northern Covar Forest passing through the Kingdom of Bavialo. Otherwise, if you look for it on the same day, even if you find it, you will have to wait.
a period of time.
It took more than two years to decide whether it was fast or slow.
But if he wants to obtain more rare objects or favors that have not yet been discovered by others, he must not slack off for a moment.
The location of the Astral Whale was so elusive that even with the memory of his previous life, he could not locate it accurately.
So before finding the Astral Whale and leaving Asenrant.
His goal is naturally to follow the procedures to get as many rare objects as possible in the more familiar Northland, and to gain as much expertise as possible.
In this way, after he leaves Asenland, he will have stronger risk resistance and higher fault tolerance to meet new challenges.
The two of them were walking along the path of the manor, and could already vaguely hear the noise coming from the illuminated mansion in front of them. Obviously, a dinner party for the nobles did not end so soon.
After all, in addition to the family dinner, Susan also invited a large number of wine distributors and partners to the wine estate to celebrate the Harvest Festival.
When Woody and Weilandu left the manor, Weilanduo met several groups of guests who entered the manor with gifts.
When they recognized Weilando, who was traveling in casual clothes, they all showed great respect, and Weilando had no choice but to return the favor one by one.
"Cousin Woody, that's why I'm not staying at home tonight. Mother wants me to say hello to them all."
"Oh my god, this is more torturous than grandma's theology class. Fortunately, cousin, you came with me, otherwise I would have gone crazy..."
"And you still have to take off your hat to me even though all your hair has fallen out. This is not a gentlemanly behavior..."
"Some people still have the smell of parsley in their mouths. Oh, how could someone like parsley and stick so close to me..."
…
After thanking the fifth batch of businessmen who said hello to her, Weilanduo and Woody got on the carriage heading to the trading area. In the private compartment of the carriage, the girl who was naturally restrained suddenly relaxed a lot and enjoyed herself.
He complained about the people and things he just met, and imitated the poor performances of the businessmen from time to time, as if he had endless things to say.
For some reason, Woody felt a little nostalgic in his heart while sitting on this stable carriage, listening to Villando's voice as delicate as her facial features, and the crisp sound of horse hooves outside the window accompanied by the bright fireworks rising from the bank of the river in the trade area.
This moment.
However, Woody's reverie was interrupted when the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Weilanduo was curious about the reason why the carriage stopped.
"Master, Miss, we are checking ahead and the road is blocked."
The coachman's voice came through the door, and Woody also looked to the left and ahead, and found that the bridge not far away was indeed blocked, and the carriages coming and going were in a mess.
"The horses seem to be out of control. It will take some time to restore order."
While explaining the current situation to the two of them, the coachman stopped the carriage by the side of the road.
"Hey, isn't that the Mel family's carriage? Jennifer is finally back?"
Weilanduo, who was sitting on the right side of the car window, could just see the carriage passing by the road and said in surprise.
"Your classmate?" Woody asked casually.
"Yes, Jennifer is from the same college as me. There seemed to be something going on with their family a month or two ago, so they took her away from Palermo. At that time, I thought she might not come back until the next year, but I didn't expect...
…”
Weilandu rested her hands on the window sill of the carriage, her eyes never leaving for even a moment, like a dog who was extremely curious about the outside world.
"Then do you want to come up and say hello?" Woody thought of Weilando's complaint just now and felt that she seemed to be afraid of social interaction, so he used this to tease her.
Sure enough, after hearing Woody's words, Villando shook her head like a rattle.
"No, she is a famous and beautiful girl in the college. I have no sense of my existence at all. Maybe she doesn't even remember me... Look, Jennifer."
Weilandu pointed to somewhere outside the car window and shouted, and Woody shifted his gaze from the night scene by the river to the location pointed by Weilando.
Sure enough, I saw a beautiful girl. She was wearing a typical southern aristocratic dress and a white velvet-trimmed lady's hat. She was elegant and charming. However, I don't know whether it was the projection of the street lights at night or some other reason. Her face was very pale and energetic.
