Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 20: Lich's Broken Finger
"Damn it, didn't the servants whisper that Morris would stay in the lab all night?"
Ma Wen hid under the bed, looking at the pair of ordinary cloth shoes, and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
In the entire Bokenning, the only person who can enter this bedroom at will must be their lord Maurice.
The identity of a second-level sorcerer and evil spirit messenger is tricky no matter how you think about it.
If this old man is a careful person...
Although Marvin handled everything he looked through with his usual caution, there was no guarantee that he would not make mistakes in the dark.
Now he could only pray that the sorcerer would not be able to find his hiding place.
The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the perception of sorcerers was generally not very good, and they would not be able to find him unless they used detection spells.
…
The sorcerer Morris wandered around the room for a while, holding a candle and wearing a pair of cloth shoes.
Suddenly, he drew aside a curtain.
From Marvin's perspective, all he could see was what appeared to be a wardrobe behind the curtain.
There should be a mirror on the wardrobe.
The old man suddenly knelt down, held the candle above his head, and chanted something loudly.
The mirror rippled like water waves on a lake.
Marvin couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
"Which lord of the lower plane is he trying to communicate with?"
"Damn it, how could I communicate with the lord of the lower plane at this time?"
He remained extremely calm and thought of at least three ways of retreat in an instant, but the success of these three methods was based on the premise that the evil spirit lord could not enter the Bokenning world at will!
Because of the seal of the gods, the evil spirit lord cannot enter the Fenan continent. But this is the oil painting world!
This is Bokenning!
A level 4 ranger facing off against an evil spirit lord above the legendary level... no matter how rich his experience is, it will be of no use!
He could only pray now that neither the evil spirit lord nor the evil spirit messenger would find him hiding under the bed.
…
"Great [Abyss of Extreme Evil], your servants obey your commands."
The old man's respectful voice rang out in the room.
"Morris, you've been immersed in this world of oil paintings for too long."
A deep voice sounded: "I have something that I need you to do right away!"
"Bokenning is connected to the four material exits of Fenan, two of which are usable. You can go to the Scarlet Monastery to find the [Avenger] Feigen, and he will give you some help."
"I have seen some interesting things in the future. The gods in heaven are destined to be unwilling to be lonely, but they did not expect that this is the era that belongs to us evil spirits."
"I need you to spread some seeds..."
Marvin couldn't understand what was said next.
They all used the language of the lower plane, and every sentence could arouse the deepest evil and fear in the human heart.
What made Marvin somewhat relieved and surprised was that during the whole process, the two of them did not even notice him!
Or maybe Marvin was lucky, they didn't realize that there was another person hiding in the lord's room!
…
Ten minutes later, the two ended their conversation and the mirror was covered with thick cloth again.
Maurice, the evil spirit messenger, hurried out of the room.
Ma Wen wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh.
He did not dare to stay at the moment, so he sneaked away and quickly fled from the city lord's fortress.
It is difficult to get in, but much easier to get out, especially under the cover of night, his stealth effect is still very significant.
Soon, he was out of the castle and into a small path.
However, at this moment, Marvin suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by something.
Suddenly, flocks of crows flew into the castle, and their eyes were scarlet!
Faintly, he heard a roar!
"Oh no! We've been discovered!"
"There must be some mark attached to this head. Once it is taken out of the castle, Morris will sense it!"
Marvin has a clear mind.
He now has to rush out of this world quickly.
Fortunately, we are not far from the strange tree.
Thinking of this, he started running faster.
…
In the laboratory at the center of the castle, the angry roar of the evil spirit messenger resounded throughout the space!
"Damn thief!"
"Send out patrolling crows and black knights!"
"Kill him and take back the head of my most beloved servant!"
Deep inside the castle, countless crows flew wildly over the crosses. Tied to those crosses were bloody humans!
The sound of heavy horse hooves rang out, and black knights rushed out from the darkness and killed towards the distance.
…
Marvin's figure quickly passed through the wheat fields.
There were too many patrolling crows in the sky, and he had no way to hide!
So he simply stopped hiding and exposed himself, rushing towards the woods in his memory at maximum speed.
Those patrolling crows swooped down madly, trying to stop Marvin's speed!
“Go to hell!”
Marvin was also angry.
He swung the scimitar in his hand quickly, forming a sword net!
In the blink of an eye, five or six crows died under his knife!
However, more crows gathered in groups and swooped down. Marvin could only roll over awkwardly to avoid them, then stand up and rush again.
His rolling technique was developed through countless PKs. This evasive method may seem awkward, but it is actually a very useful combat technique.
However, no matter what, Marvin's progress was ultimately slowed down by these patrolling crows.
When he rushed into the woods covered in blood, a black knight had already killed him from the other side.
There was the sound of horse hooves, and a tall figure suddenly stopped in front of the tree.
Bang!
The black knight drew his heavy sword. He was wearing a mask, holding the sword in one hand, and pulled the reins!
The horses rushed forward madly.
Unless the terrain was particularly complex, knights would have a huge advantage over infantry. With the added sprint power of their mounts, no adventurer other than the barbarians dared to confront them head-on!
Marvin's pupils shrank. Is there only one black knight?
still have a chance.
He suddenly put the two scimitars back to his waist and started running around the woods!
The knights were in hot pursuit.
Marvin took a quick step and suddenly turned around a huge tree.
The black knight pulled the reins and skillfully controlled his mount to go around.
However, during this process, a blind spot appeared in his vision!
The moment he rode his horse around the tree, Marvin's figure appeared in front of him!
"Get out of here!"
Marvin jumped high, grabbed the branch with both hands, raised his legs, and kicked the black knight hard!
At this time, the horse running at high speed suddenly became a burden to the Black Knight!
His body involuntarily leaned back and he fell to the ground in a mess.
Marvin adjusted his body with incredible flexibility and actually sat on the horse!
[Mount the horse while marching...Related tests in progress (Agility 19)...]
[Horsemanship (30) activated... Skill activated successfully! ]
…
"Fortunately, this body still has the [Horsemanship]!"
Marvin felt the need to retract his previous complaints about this useless body. The advantage of nobles is that they can basically master good horsemanship!
Ordinary people don’t have enough money to learn horse riding. In fact, they can’t even afford to keep a horse.
He crouched very low and controlled the horse to rush towards the tree.
On both sides of the woods, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder.
More black knights are coming!
Marvin held his breath and controlled the horse with all his strength to sprint towards the tree!
The black knights on both sides came over suddenly, and one of them raised his sword and slashed fiercely.
It's now!
Marvin stepped on the pedal and suddenly flipped over, not only avoiding the black knight's sword, but also falling on him!
"Get down!"
He grabbed the black knight's waist and pulled him off the horse when he lost his balance!
However, during this process, the horse suddenly whined, lost its balance, and fell sideways in a mess!
Marvin staggered and fell to the ground as well.
At this time, it was less than ten steps away from the tree!
But the black knight on the other side also rushed over.
Marvin exhaled and raised his right hand suddenly:
"Vs'bon!"
Rainbow spray!
The terrifying rainbow rays intertwined into a net, hindering the progress of the black knights.
Marvin took the opportunity to get up from the ground, took two steps at a time, and rushed to the tree!
…
“It was a narrow escape from death!”
Marvin's body fell to the ground in the ghost corridor.
And the oil painting of the headless girl suddenly disappeared from the wall.
"Thank you, I have closed this exit. The monsters from Bokenning will not rush out for the time being."
A pleasant voice sounded behind him.
"This is your head..."
Marvin gently placed the package on the ground.
"Thank you so much, I am finally...free."
The package opened automatically, and a gray light flashed.
Ma Wen's heart moved and he turned around.
Behind him stood a beautiful girl. She should be in spirit form. Since her head was found, she is now in a normal ghost form.
"I'm leaving now. This is an ominous place. You shouldn't stay here for long."
Valissa said softly.
"Just now when you went to help me get my head back, I helped you open the box with the magic lock. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"Thank you anyway……"
Her voice became quieter and quieter, and her body began to fade away, until only a bright smile remained.
Marvin bowed his head slightly, clasped his right hand in front of his left chest, and saluted this lovely and noble girl.
Her soul was very pure, and such souls, when transformed into evil spirit servants, would often be very powerful. This was the most important reason why the evil spirit messenger Morris took a fancy to her.
Marvin had heard about the methods of evil spirits. Ordinary people could not resist them at all, but Valissa did it.
Her head was separated and she endured all kinds of pain day and night, but she still did not bow to evil.
Such people are almost extinct in this world.
Humans are fragile after all.
But as an ancient sage said, human beings are also great - not because of their potential beyond all other races, but because even in the darkest times, there are always some people whose hearts are as pure as the light of the morning sun. These people will not be polluted by the world, and they are the important existence that prevents human beings from sliding into the abyss.
…
After the headless girl's soul left, it left behind a platycodon-like ornament. This was Marvin's mission reward.
As for the magic treasure chest, it should be a free gift.
Marvin found the box and opened it. Who would have thought that the value of the things inside was far beyond Marvin's expectations!
There was actually a severed finger inside!
This is not an ordinary person's severed finger!
[You got the severed finger of the demigod lich...]
