This is the subconscious reaction of Woody's visual neurofeedback to the brain.
He was a little surprised and confused. Although Woody had always believed in his senses, he had never seen this noble girl from the Mel family in his memory.
Moreover, he has only been in this world for a short time, and he has met only a handful of people.
But where does the sense of familiarity come from?
However, with the rapid screening of memory, the elimination method soon came to the people and things experienced on the nights before the Harvest Festival, and one of the creatures corresponded to the girl in front of him.
This is……
The spider-turned-drow that night.
As a result, Verandu, who was still angry at Woody for looking at the others without blinking, found that her cousin's face had a heavy look.
…
There are many ways to create "Spider Drow".
One of the most famous transformation methods is that through the ex-wife of the elf god Corellon, she left the elf pantheon and became the demon lord of the bottomless abyss. She also had the "Queen of the Pit Demon Network" and the "Mother of the Drow".
A divine curse created by the Spider Queen "Rose" who is known as "The Weaver" by many names.
——"The Curse of Lolth"
Creatures that bear the curse will transform from living creatures into another pitiful life form within a few seconds.
——"Spider Drow."
This is also the best way for Him to demonstrate His divine power to His believers.
It is said that Rose will occasionally select a "following" believer to play a game: she will ask this believer to complete a certain difficult task.
If the mission succeeds, the believer will receive generous rewards, but if it fails, the price will be to face Lolth's vicious curse and become a spider elf.
In previous lives, many players accidentally entered the underdark area of the main material plane "Terra" after leaving Ashenrant, and encountered followers of this god many times. Among them, the most criticized thing among players is that this method can transform creatures into...
The curse of the spider-turned drow.
All high-level priests who believe in Lolth can release this curse, which seems to be a seven-ring divine spell.
If your physique is not high enough and you have no advantage in spell resistance, and you encounter Rose's high-level priests while venturing underground, the end will be disastrous.
After all, no one wants to have their core output personnel unknowingly turn into a "spider drow" as soon as the battle begins. How can they rely on stacking physical strength to resist, or rely on magic shields to avoid this god?
Technique once became the primary problem faced by the player team planning to enter the Underdark at that time.
…
As for how Arsenrant's spider-like drow was formed, Woody had heard about it in his previous life.
It seems that the transformation potion is made by mixing the special toxins secreted by the descendants of the demigod "Spider Queen" Kosust and the specialty herbs of the Underdark. It can transform drow or humanoid creatures into the form of giant spiders.
Spider drow.
Among the large number of retinues led by Kothust in the previous life, there was a legion composed entirely of spider drow, most of which were spider drow mutated from drow elves.
By the way... this incident also reminded Woody of what he still couldn't figure out yesterday about the spider drow.
That is, the spider elves transformed from drow have a pair of sharp fangs, which is a characteristic of underground creatures.
And if it is a creature transformed from surface organisms, it does not have fangs.
Woody could still remember the roar of the female spider-turned-drow a few days ago, but its mouth... had no fangs.
Moreover, Woody vaguely remembered that in the early days of the game, in the Southern Principality, the drow relied on some strange object to obtain a magical disguise similar to that of a shapeshifter.
He successfully invaded several human cities, not only stealing high positions and occupying dove nests, but also directly covering the entire city in spider webs.
Woody remembered that two years later it would be revealed that more than 70% of the nobles in a human city had been replaced by drow in disguise.
At that time, it was very strange for players to do missions, because most of the missions issued by the nobles or unions of that city at that time were provocative assassination missions of other human countries or spying on military intelligence.
But the human cities that Woody remembered at the time were all some distance away from Palermo, so why was this place...
But the facts are before us. Looking at the dignified and elegant aristocratic girl Jenniferny not far away, her face is more and more similar to the outline of the spider-turned drow that day. In addition, why did the group of drow go to war to capture a group of drows?
There is a reason for the spider-turned drow to just run away.
After all, if you want to get the information you want from a human, the quickest way is to turn him into someone of your kind.
Priests who believe in Kothust will leave him with no secrets, as they say.
That’s it.
——"In the web of fate woven by endless spider silk, every descendant of Kosust is my partner. They will tell me everything I want to know, and they will tell me everything they know.
"
…
"Are you okay, cousin?"
Seeing that Jennifer was gone and the street at the entrance of the Noble District had returned to its previous order, Woody's face was still calm, which made Weilando, who was originally happy to go out, a little strange.
"It's okay, I just thought of something."
Woody dealt with it vaguely and told Weilando to no avail. It would only increase the risk out of thin air, but just now he had thought of the best helper to deal with this incident.
Temple area.
Xingfu Square is already crowded with people for the "Harvest Festival".
Weilanduo seemed like a fish constantly jumping out of the river, jumping and trying hard to watch the open-air musical held by the Temple of Life in front of her.
It is said that in addition to the saints coming out of the temple tonight, there will also be senior priests from the temple who will pray for the blessings of the goddess.
According to residents who have experienced it in the past, receiving a blessing can not only restore the body to its former health, but also make people feel peaceful, as if they have been kissed gently by the goddess.
But Woody knew that this was just an illusion given by the most common zero-ring magic "gift" that could grant the target temporary health points.
Moreover, when priests cast spells near the temples they believe in, they will greatly benefit from magical spells, which not only strengthens the effects of divine spells, but also prolongs the time.
Coupled with the influence of the temple's high-level priest's extraordinary specialty "Blessing All Beings", magical spells that can only be released on a single target can affect all targets in an area.
Somewhat similar to the wizard's metamagic feat "Spell Expansion."
It was Wooditi's idea to come to the temple area to observe, but Weilanduo found that her cousin seemed not interested in festival performances and celebrations at all. Even the beautiful saint in the temple only passed by in a hurry and left once in the middle.
Although she didn't know why Woody did this, she obviously felt that her cousin was hiding something from her.
So, when Woody came back, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"Cousin, what happened tonight? Ever since you met Jennifer, I felt something was wrong with you!"
"If you want to get to know her, I can help you pass the message. You don't have to hide her like this."
Weilanduo spoke openly, but her little eyes glanced at Woody's face from time to time, as if she was afraid that Woody was really interested in Jennifer.
"It's nothing, I just did a good thing for a good person."
Woody, who was looking relaxed, answered frankly.
That night, a short sentence written in crooked handwriting was placed on the tables used by the high priests in the temples of the three gods.
