Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 24: Twin Snakes Cult
There was a sense of uneasiness among the security team.
These young men are fearless. For the sake of their lord, they don't care even if they are asked to attack the gate of Riverside City.
They are members of the White River Valley's security team and they only obey the orders of their lord.
But now, they have to accept the leadership of a killer?
This was a little hard for them to accept. Although they had just arrived in River Beach City, they had still heard some rumors about the Double Blade Mask.
It is said that this guy alone killed all the members of a gang? Isn't this too scary?
"Lady Anna..."
Andre looked at the half-elf housekeeper with some embarrassment.
Who knew Anna would say coldly: "This is the Lord's order!"
Andre was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Marvin said in a hoarse voice: "Are you done dawdling? We finally managed to get rid of the patrol team. We must make a quick decision tonight. Come with me!"
After saying that, the shadow of the masked man with two swords disappeared into the alley.
Twenty security guards immediately followed.
And Anna stayed where she was.
She has more important things to do.
…
Marvin moved skillfully through the alleys. He was already familiar with the power structure of this city.
The most powerful one is a great wizard , the Lord of River Beach City. The strongest fighting force under the Lord of River Beach City is the Chief Wizard Group of River Beach City.
After that, it was the patrol team. Every soldier in the patrol team was a second-level warrior, extremely powerful.
They are the guarantee of public security in River Beach City.
As long as he could keep the patrol away, Marvin had nothing to fear.
Although Miller is very rich, the guards stationed in his mansion are only a small group of five or six mercenaries, plus two second-level professionals.
In Marvin's calculations, Miller was already a dead man!
"How could she be so cruel as to poison her own brother!"
"I will never tolerate such a person to continue living in this world!"
He swore secretly in his heart.
After turning a corner, we arrived at a relatively remote place.
An old goblin wearing a pince-nez was waiting there with a smile on his face. His name was Bain, and on the surface he ran a pawn shop, but secretly he had connections with many local gangs.
As long as you pay enough money, these guys will sell you anything.
After returning to River Beach City, the first thing Marvin did was to redeem his necklace. Then, in the identity of the Double Sword Mask, he negotiated a deal with the old goblin Bain.
"Master Shuangdao Mask, please come this way."
Bain smiled and led everyone to a villa in the wealthy area.
The boys from the security team watched all this nervously.
The group took advantage of the night to bypass the villa and came to the back door. The old goblin took out a key and opened the door.
This is a small warehouse filled with boxes.
"There are twenty sets of leather armor in total. The military training weapons you requested are all in there."
The old goblin smiled and said, "As long as you pay enough, we in the Black Claw Chamber of Commerce can get you anything."
"Of course, don't use these things to attack the City Lord's Mansion... I'm not worried about you getting into trouble, but I'm worried that you won't be able to come back."
Bane made an inopportune joke.
No one would use these weapons discarded from the army to attack the city lord's mansion.
This is the age of wizards. A wizard's [Strong Ice Ring] can make half of the guards lose their combat effectiveness. Going against wizards is still a joke in this era.
The catastrophe is still brewing, the cosmic magic pool is still intact, and the gods in the sky have not yet reached an agreement.
But Marvin knew that all this was not far away.
"Go in," Marvin ordered, "Put on your leather armor. I know you have received the most basic militia training, but you are facing several good mercenaries."
"I promised you Lords that I would not let any of you fall tonight."
"So, rookies, fasten the buttons on your leather armor tightly!"
Marvin's instructions were very sophisticated, which prevented Andre, who had been somewhat dissatisfied, from getting angry.
In fact, when playing games in his previous life, Marvin had participated in the battle of the underground human city coalition against the dark elves - as a super scout. He had also undergone a considerable degree of military training, at least much better than the militiamen in front of him.
The underground humans are much stronger than the surface humans, not to mention the dark elves. With Marvin's vision, it is not easy to find some minor flaws.
Before the battle even started, he gave these young men a warning.
They must be completely convinced. Only then will they obey their orders in battle.
These guys were well-trained, and it didn't take long for them to put on leather armor.
Protective gear is very important in combat. The human body is very fragile. Before advancing to the third-level profession and activating [Apocalypse], all professionals cannot be completely immune to damage without protective gear. Of course, when conducting similar discussions, wizards are always an exception. The wizards' sorcery completely crushes the abilities of other professionals, which is why wizards can rule the world.
So people always say that even the greatest gods have preferences. The first ancient god, Lance, created Fenan and blessed all races, but only loved wizards.
But soon, this situation will be overturned.
…
"I heard that all the patrols have been called to the dock area?"
The old goblin at the side looked at the guards who were fully armed, squinted his eyes and asked tentatively.
Marven said coldly: "Businessmen shouldn't ask too many questions."
Bain laughed and said, "Of course, of course."
"But the patrols may not be your biggest problem."
The old goblin smiled cunningly and said, "Mr. Masked Man with Two Blades, I know your target. No. 31 in the Rich District, the fat man named Miller."
"I have a very valuable piece of news to sell you."
Marvin frowned.
The old goblin's meaning was very clear as he was talking about the news at this critical moment.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.
Andre and the others were ready to go, and were a little surprised to see the two men discussing. They were just soldiers, and their brains didn't work that fast.
Marvin whispered, “How much?”
"Five gold coins."
rub!
A cold light flashed, and the scimitar was already on the old goblin's neck!
"Can it be cheaper?" Marvin said.
The old goblin remained calm and said, "This is news that can save your life. Can you give me a cheaper price for your life?"
whoosh!
Marvin retracted his scimitar, took out five gold coins from the void conch and threw them over!
A faint golden light flashed by in the candlelight in the warehouse, almost blinding the eyes of Andre and others!
They were all poor children from the Baihe Valley, how could they have seen so much money!
"Boss, is being a killer so profitable?"
One of the team members muttered quietly: "That's five thousand silver coins!"
Andre smiled bitterly, also confused.
Even their lord is not that rich, right? Where did he invite such a great god?
Andre is a very straightforward person. If he can't figure something out, he won't think about it anymore.
Anyway, it's the lord's order, just do it.
…
The old goblin who received the gold coins suddenly became very serious: "I know you have received the money and want to eradicate the Miller family."
"But the power behind this old guy is stronger than you think!"
"Of course you can destroy them tonight, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!"
Marven said coldly: "I'm never afraid of trouble when I kill people."
Bain snorted coldly: "Have you heard of the Twin Snakes Cult?"
Marvin's pupils suddenly shrank!
Twin Snake Cult!
Of course he had heard of this name!
Not only had he heard about it, in his previous life, he had fought against these disgusting cultists no less than a dozen times!
He still remembered that the first time he died in the game was when he was fighting against the Twin Snakes cultists and was killed by the fanatical guy's self-explosion!
That was a humiliation in Marvin’s gaming career!
Why doesn't he remember?
"Is Miller a member of the Twin Snakes Cult?"
Marvin also became serious.
No wonder this guy has been out of touch for so many years, but suddenly became rich recently and returned to Riverside City.
If he was from the Twin Snakes Cult, then everything would make sense!
"etc!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Marvin's mind!
The members of the Twin Snakes Cult have been operating underground in a very secretive manner.
Because the legendary wizard Anthony of the Holy Light Tower on the coast of Fernandon was watching them with the [Eye of the Sun] every day. The daughter of this legendary wizard died in the conspiracy of the Twin Snakes, so as long as he was there, the Twin Snakes would not dare to move!
But now, the people of the Twin Snakes Cult have extended their hands into Hetan City!
If Marvin guessed correctly, this means that the legendary wizard Anthony is close to his demise!
Anthony's death was not a natural one.
It was done by a god called the Prince of Shadows.
This is the first step for the gods to achieve their goal of attacking the cosmic magic pool.
"We have to speed up!"
Marvin was startled: "The catastrophe is coming faster than I thought!"
