In the early morning, Woody pushed the door out of the room.
The wine manor is now gray and foggy, as if dark clouds from the sky have fallen to the ground, swallowing up this manor full of white buildings.
There was a bit of chill in the air, the bluestone was damp, it must have been a drizzle, and the soil on the lawn was also dark yellow.
After sending Weilando back to her room yesterday, Woody had a comfortable sleep for the first time in a long time. After all, if nothing else happens, the first batch of potions will arrive today, and he will need plenty of energy and concentration to make them.
Alchemical potion.
Concentration and carefulness are the only answers Woody got from refining potions countless times that can improve the probability of refining.
But as soon as he walked to the dining room of the mansion, it started to rain lightly outside the window.
And as the mist spreads, the ground is steaming with mist. In such an abnormal weather, many servants even looked around.
“It’s a rainy and foggy day, it’s definitely a rainy and foggy day!”
Although most of the foggy weather in Palermo is sunny when the fog lifts, there are a few exceptions.
Rainy and foggy days are the Palermo people's accurate summary of this kind of weather, which is generally seen in November when the winter monsoon moves south.
In the mouth of local port sailors, it is called Kraken Day.
All ships in the port will avoid going to sea in this kind of weather. It is said that there is a chance of encountering the sea monster, and there is also the risk of hitting the rocks and sinking the ship.
At the same time, this day also symbolizes the coldness of winter, which has completely arrived in this small border town.
The winter rain that lasts for half a month is coming soon.
"With the rainy season coming, will it delay the caravan's travel?"
"You're careless! What if no one takes risks on a rainy day and no one accepts the entrustment?"
…
At this time, Woody was eating soft white bread that had just been baked, supplemented by thick sauce and steaming fresh fish steak to add flavor, while thinking wildly in his mind.
At this moment, steady footsteps were heard outside the restaurant. Woody took a big gulp of a glass of wine without raising his head just to hear this rhythm, and then asked casually.
"Morning, Cromwell, have you had breakfast? The fish steak with gin wine tastes good today, I recommend you try it!"
"Thank you, Master Woody, but I've already eaten."
Cromwell's voice was still calm and patient, but what he said next surprised Woody.
"Master Woody, someone else has asked someone to give you something."
"For me?"
When Woody heard this, he suddenly raised his head and found that Cromwell was actually holding a long wooden box in his hand.
"Who sent it?"
Taking the long wooden box handed over by Cromwell, Woody subconsciously asked.
"I don't know, this time it's anonymous..."
Before Cromwell could finish speaking, the long wooden box Woody opened emitted a light silver light in the bright restaurant.
That's a...noble rapier?
The silver-like sword blade, which is more than one meter long, is like a carved jade. The moonlight rotates and the stars twinkle.
This is the manifestation of the mithril mixed in the sword body.
Woody's eyes widened even more, because he had seen this sword on the black market not long ago, and he felt a little regretful at that time.
Why did you take the initiative to deliver it to your door today?
Logically speaking, even if I wanted to please him, even my aunt might not be able to recognize him because of his attire at that time, let alone a stranger.
unless……
A figure flashed through Woody's mind, but was quickly rejected. His charm was only 12, so he wouldn't make people hide behind him.
However, he suddenly recalled that scene, the iron hook and the severed hand.
Could it be that it is really her...
He was a little surprised and confused, but if it was just a simple compensation, the 1,500 gold-coin sword would be given to him as promised? This would be too generous.
Woody frowned, feeling that things were not that simple. Sure enough, he found a rolled up note from the straw in the wooden box.
There was a line of familiar handwriting on the rolled up paper.
--"sorry."
It's really her, Angelina.
She's back again!
After swallowing the last bite of white bread, Woody put away this extraordinary stabbing sword.
Although he wanted this weapon as a material to be integrated into the curved sword, he could not accept a free gift from someone he did not know at ease. Even if it was regarded as compensation, he felt it was necessary to talk in person first.
"Prepare a carriage for me, I'm going out." Gu Weibr/> Woody looked at the light rain that was still falling, and after thinking about it, he ordered Cromwell.
When Cromwell saw this, he immediately left. As a steward, he naturally knew when to ask and when to speak.
After he left, Woody opened the extraordinary stabbing sword again, looked around, and finally rubbed his forehead.
"It's really troublesome."
His original intention in planning his own path was to have as little contact and involvement with this world as possible, even if his aunt and Weilando could not avoid it.
After all, the warmth of relatives can sometimes make him feel the meaning of life and the reason to fight for it.
However, he really doesn't want to involve too much in other matters. Too many emotions will only hinder his progress.
Woody hugged the wooden box and walked out of the restaurant.
He is going out.
However, not long after Woody's carriage left the manor, another carriage returned to the wine estate.
The patter of rain hit the ground and roof tiles, creating a crisp and sweet dense symphony.
The maid had already held an umbrella and was waiting outside. Susan Edith, who had not returned home all night, stepped out of the carriage.
She was still dressed as yesterday, a solemn black dress. Surrounded by the rain, a cool and outstanding temperament could not be suppressed.
At this time, Susan Edith looked tired, but after hearing from Cromwell that Woody had gone out, she was slightly stunned.
Finally, he waved his hand to show that he knew.
Her nephew is always so careless.
But she helped him deal with everything that needed to be dealt with, whether it was the Pike family, Jennifer of the Mel family, or the group of drows hiding in the city.
This is all she can do...
…
The dripping raindrops seeped out from the cracks in the stones and fell into the wet gravel.
Angelena didn't know why she stayed here to take shelter from the rain. In the distance was the rough sea, and the dense raindrops formed a line in the sky.
She had just come out of the city and didn't find out where Lin and the others were staying, so she subconsciously came here.
Perhaps there is a reason why being close to the sea can gradually calm her restless heart.
But this time her peace did not last long, as she felt a familiar breath coming towards her direction.
Angelina subconsciously wanted to dodge, but found that the cave at the bottom of the cliff was extremely small, and there was no room to hide at all.
She tried her best to hide in the cave, but she was not ready to face anyone yet.
The memories of the past few days tortured her all the time, and now she was very afraid that if she closed her eyes again, she would turn into that terrifying giant beast in the sea, cruel and crazy.
That's not her...and it can't be her...
She didn't want anyone to see her like this.
"I gave you that sword as an apology gift for not going that night!"
"So, now, please get out of here right away! Please, I can't control myself, I will kill you..."
The hoarse voice represented her tyranny, but the words represented the remaining humanity. Under the excitement of emotion, her originally flat teeth began to become sharp under the distortion of magical power.
Fortunately, after her words fell, the visitor's footsteps stopped. Angelena breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had listened to the advice, and said quickly.
"Don't come in! Otherwise I will really kill you!"
But what Angelena didn't expect was...
After a while, the stagnant footsteps suddenly started to move, not moving away, but getting closer.
And at the same time, she heard the sound of something falling on the sand.
She felt something was wrong, subconsciously looked up and found the arched entrance to the cave.
A sword-wielding young man wearing a dark hunting suit and a hood had already walked out. Under the hood, his eyes were glowing with golden color. With his expressionless and delicate face, he looked like a god. The extraordinary rapier in his hand was even more...
Silver light flows.
He looked at her and she looked at him.
"What are you going to do?"
Angelena asked the familiar boy in front of her with a trembling voice.
After the young man heard this, his face slowly became serious and he replied in a low voice.
"I just want to see if you can kill me!"
"..."
Angelena felt as if she had instantly turned into a fish that couldn't breathe, with her mouth wide open.
