090 'Goodbye in the study'

The perception of avoiding "blind combat" is very simple. As long as you don't reveal your murderous intention or the intention to attack, and keep a certain distance, it will be difficult for him to detect you.

Of course, the above requirements are simple in summary, but in actual practice you will find it to be extremely difficult.

Only Woody, who has rich combat experience with "blind fighting" opponents, can use such a simple but effective sword.



The chilling atmosphere on the bridge completely collapsed with the fall of the drow warrior, but at this moment everyone was silent, as if time and space were frozen, and many noble guards looked at the noble boy standing there with complicated eyes.

.

Grateful? Ashamed? Or confused?

Various emotions were intertwined in my heart, which were difficult to express. There was only a faint smell of blood in the air, and the sound of armor clashing could be heard in the distance.

The noble guards in other positions had noticed something strange here and began to rush over.

"Thank you for your help! My name is Vele Tahan."

The guard captain took off his silver half-helmet and held it in front of his breastplate, revealing his resolute and simple face. At this time, he walked over and said to Woody.

His forehead was already covered with sweat, and his golden hair was stuck into a ball.

"It's okay, it's easy."

Woody retracted his sword and frowned slightly. He remembered that this drow warrior was the night he met the spider-turned drow. He was on the right side of his encirclement, and he had a deep memory.

If he hadn't used the Flash Stone unexpectedly to blind him first, this battle might not have been as straightforward as this.

"No matter what, the Tahan family will remember your help and repay you... You can leave now. You can leave the things here to me, if you don't want to attract too much attention."

It has to be said that Weller, as a city gate guard, is quite understanding of the world. When he saw Woody's frown, he immediately took the initiative to give him some advice.

"Then it's up to you."

Woody nodded, looked at the drow warrior lying motionless on the ground, and nodded in agreement.

However, when he passed by Weller, he spoke quickly in the guard captain's ear in a very fast and low tone.

"Other city guards are also suspicious, be careful!"

After saying that, Woody, who returned to his natural demeanor, got into the carriage and left the entrance of the bridge under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

"What are you still looking at? Come and lend a hand and carry the body of the black Pedro to the temple."

Weller gave the order while subconsciously thinking about Woody's warning just now.

Then he whispered to a confidant.

Soon, the order for all noble guards to gather at the school grounds reached the ears of every guard.



After entering the noble area, it seemed that due to the influence of martial law, or because of the drow, there were fewer pedestrians and carriages on the road.

Soon, the outline of the wine estate appeared in Woody's field of vision.

After getting off the carriage and entering the manor, Woody immediately looked for the nearest servant and asked for the location of her aunt.

It turned out that she had just returned from going out and was doing business in the study.

Naturally, Woody walked to the second floor of the manor without stopping. This time the door to the study room was not closed, as if his arrival had been anticipated.

"You're back!"

As soon as Woody's feet stepped onto the brown wood floor of the room, the sound of his aunt Susan Edith's sound, like fine wine being poured into a glass, came from inside.

"Aunt, I..."

Guzhu

Woody looked at the lady who was smiling at him. He had already made a draft in the carriage, but when he needed it, he found that he couldn't say a word.



"What's the matter, hesitant? Or do you want to tell me the story of that lucky girl? Tell me about your romantic trip with her on the beach?"

Susan Edith's eyebrows were filled with smiles and jokes. At this time, the lines of her cheeks changed from the usual coldness to roundness. The shadow of the boy was reflected in the light blue pupils, and her eyelashes danced with the candlelight.

, her long dark golden hair is spread on her shoulders like silk, and paired with a purple retro dress that outlines the slender lines of her body, it gives people the impression that she is no longer graceful as a noble, but has an indescribable extra

sense of closeness.

Woody took a deep breath, closed the door, and then calmly looked at the lady standing in front of the window sill and said.

"It's not about that. I want to ask about Zhuoer. Why did you do this?"

His expression became decisive, his tone became firm, and he continued before Susan could answer.

"Do you know that it is very dangerous? If you do this, if you cannot completely eliminate the drow, it will plunge the entire Edith family into a quagmire."

"By then, not only you but also Weilanduo may be in danger?"

After hearing Woody's words, Susan Edith was slightly startled and smiled.

"You know?"

"The whole of Palermo, including the seagulls in the dock area, know how to thank you for your heroic actions. How could I not know! This is much nobler than those noble knights who claim to possess the Eight Virtues, Your Excellency Susan."

Woody was slightly dissatisfied with her unauthorized actions and reckless measures, with a grumbling tone in his voice.

"Isn't there no way to do it? I also wanted to hide it from them, but when I went to the temple, I didn't think of covering up my traces. It was just a last-minute idea to deal with the drow. By the time the temple came to the door with an arrest warrant, my identity could no longer be concealed.

Living."

"Also, didn't you tell me that to deal with danger, we must eliminate it directly at the source. This time we caught a lot of fish in the noble area. The three viscounts and Earl Rees all expressed their most sincere wishes to us.

Thank you."

Susan Edith had a half-smile on her face at this time, and she was actually making fun of herself.

"But they are just thanking you for attracting firepower for them. They know that most of the drow's focus will be on you next, to pour out the anger of their failed plan! You have become their shield, and you are

The most effective shield ever!"

"Countless pairs of eyes are looking at us now! It's okay to succeed, but they will accept the fruits of victory if they fail! When the time comes, I... Weilanduo, the servants of the entire manor! will all pay for your recklessness!"

"Do you know?!"

Seeing that Susan Edith was still making fun of him, Woody's anger arose out of nowhere, and his tone became a little colder. In his opinion, the aunt in his impression had always been deep and steady.

This was also the reason why he could safely tell her about the Drow. He didn't name him at that time because he believed that she would not act randomly and cause the situation to become uncontrollable.

But in the current situation, the danger has gradually spread. If the drow are not completely wiped out, Edith Manor will become the number one battlefield.

"I know!" Her words were so loud and clear.

"..."

"You can ask me if you don't know...you know? But you know why..."

Woody was slightly startled and a little confused.

Susan Edith did not answer immediately, but walked from the window sill to the position in front of the desk. Her graceful figure covered the candlelight behind her, and the backlight covered most of the room with her shadow.

"That day, Corvo said that the poison in your body came from the most ferocious "Black Widow" underground..."

Her tone this time was neither slow nor urgent, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"Can……"

Woody's heart suddenly sank when he heard this, and he wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by the lady in front of him who had regained her cool temperament and raised her hand.

"Just because they hurt you, they should pay the price!"

"I can't wait for a day or a minute!"
