Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 151: Mark of Eternal Night
"How is this possible!"
"What on earth is going on?"
“Why have I aged so much!”
Marvin looked at himself in the pool with horror, and he tried hard to calm himself!
Data panel!
He couldn't see his data panel anymore.
Marvin felt relieved a little - could it be an illusion?
But what kind of illusion could deceive even the data panel?
He could feel that his vitality was slipping away bit by bit.
With every step up the mountain, I get a little older.
This is not an endless mountain, it is clearly a mountain of death!
For the first time, Marvin felt a sense of doubt and uncertainty in his heart.
This situation is rare.
Ever since he traveled through time, he has been able to use the various records on the data panel to distinguish things no matter what the circumstances.
But in this strange endless mountain, he even lost the ability to check the data panel.
What is going on?
He looked up at the mountain. The mountain was silent and there was still no end in sight.
Marvin rested for a while and managed to recover some strength.
He stood by the pool for a moment, finally gritted his teeth and made his decision.
No matter what, since I have chosen this path, I can only move forward and not retreat.
I will never retreat even if I die.
"I just don't believe that the Night King would set up a death checkpoint to deal with those who come later!"
Marvin gave it his all. He no longer cared about the fact that his body was aging, but climbed up step by step, laboriously.
…
By the furnace, the old blacksmith had stopped working.
The two men looked at Marvin's tiny figure with great sadness as he continued to climb the mountain!
This was also their first time seeing the legendary Endless Mountain!
"Is this really true?" O'Brien asked nervously, "Why do I feel that his vitality is really fading away like crazy!"
The old blacksmith remained silent.
"I haven't seen any relevant records!"
“No one has ever gone as far as Marvin.”
"He does look like he is getting older. If he continues to climb for a while, he will become a white-haired old man."
O'Brien said resolutely: "I can't let him die here."
"What if this is also part of the test?" The old blacksmith asked back, "Even though we know it's a test, facing the threat of death, especially watching ourselves age rapidly, this is something that few people can accept, right?"
"But what if this isn't a test, but a punishment from the Night King for breaking the rules before?"
O'Brien said, frowning.
The old blacksmith clenched his fists and said nothing more.
His eyes were filled with worry.
Because he didn't know what would happen next!
…
On the Endless Mountain, Marvin is still climbing.
He had forgotten everything else in his mind, or rather, he had put everything else behind him.
He only remembered one thing.
That is persistence.
This is the path you chose, and you must finish it.
Even if it means risking your own life.
Gradually, his body began to age faster.
After a while, when he rested again, he saw that his hair had turned gray.
His skin wrinkled all over, his body began to shrink, and his bones became brittle.
As he continued to go up, he had more time to rest.
Fortunately, the mountain is not steep, and at times, it is even very flat.
Otherwise, Marvin, who was out of breath, would not have been able to move forward.
He dragged his old and fragile body up step by step.
Gradually, a wonderful feeling arose in his heart.
His soul seemed to have left his body. He watched his body slowly climb up the mountain and then fall down the hill.
He wandered in the mountains, watching his body gradually weather away, his skin fade away, and finally, even his bones turned into powder.
He and the mountain became one.
"Really? He died just like that?"
In his confusion, he could no longer keep his mind clear.
Yet he still went upward.
His soul is still trying its best to move forward and never retreat.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart:
"What's the point? This kind of meaningless persistence will never succeed."
Marvin was confused and didn't know how to answer him.
He just continued to drift upwards.
His attitude seemed to have angered the powerful existence in the dark.
A gust of wind blew and almost blew away his soul!
Suddenly, he came to his senses.
The voice spoke again: "What's the point?"
What's the point?
Marvin thought silently in his heart: "Not every persistence has to be meaningful."
"Now that you have made the decision, you must go ahead with it."
His soul grew weaker and weaker, almost dissipating in the wind.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in the darkness!
A giant golden eagle flew down from the sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became bright.
For the first time, the entire Kingdom of Eternal Night was filled with such brilliance. The feathers of the giant eagle were shining brightly, and it illuminated everything!
It flew down quickly and grabbed Marvin.
The next second, it flapped its wings suddenly and flew into the sky!
The giant eagle carried Marvin through the thick clouds.
This time, every time he climbed a certain distance, Marvin felt that he had more vitality.
His flesh returned, then his hair returned to its original color, and his wrinkles began to disappear.
His mind became clear.
The giant eagle gently grabbed him, and he could easily see all kinds of scenery in the dark clouds!
Unlike the grayness imagined, the clouds were actually sparkling with colorful colors.
Marvin couldn't see what it was, but he thought it was beautiful.
Passing through the final layer of clouds, he looked up and saw the top of the mountain.
"It turns out that the Endless Mountain has an end after all."
As he was thinking this, the giant eagle suddenly accelerated and gently placed him on the top of the mountain.
He stood on the top of the Endless Mountain, overlooking everything. In the distance was a dark sea, silent and quiet.
At this moment, a pair of eyes lit up from the darkness.
Marvin knew that was the will of the Night King.
"Finally the bet was right!"
He looked at everything recorded in the data panel and clenched his fists excitedly!
…
By the fire, the two generations of leaders of the Night Walkers, who had seen countless storms, didn't know what to say.
They had lost track of Marvin. From the moment the giant eagle appeared, they knew that Marvin had succeeded.
He received the approval of the Night King.
Because of the giant eagle, they knew it.
He is one of the Night King's best companions.
After the Night King left, the Giant Eagle entered the Kingdom of Eternal Night forever, and he vowed to protect it forever.
"It looks like I'm not far from retirement." O'Brien said self-deprecatingly: "You're right, he's really different."
"He is qualified to be the leader of the Night Walkers."
However, the old blacksmith patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not the right time yet."
"Marvin is our hope, he is the future."
"And you are our present. The current Night Walkers and Fenan Continent, without you, have lost a very important pillar. You understand."
O'Brien nodded.
"Let's see how many miracles this kid Marvin can create."
…
At the top of the mountain, those eyes stared at Marvin for a long time.
The deep voice sounded again: "Are you my heir?"
Marvin said seriously, "I don't know. It's up to you."
His eyes flickered, and he finally said, "You have passed the test and are qualified to inherit my things."
The next second, the eyes merged into one, forming a strange mark that merged into Marvin's chest.
Suddenly, he had more memories about this mark in his mind.
The name of this mark is [Mark of Eternal Night].
It is a status symbol for the true heir to the Night King.
With the Mark of Eternal Night, he can enter and leave the Land of Eternal Night freely!
Moreover, in the Land of Eternal Night, he can also summon the giant eagle Belas for help.
What surprised him even more was that at the moment when the Mark of Eternal Night entered his body, the King of Night also gave him a temporary blessing!
The effect of this temporary blessing is terrifying!
[Temporary blessing of the Night King: Strength +15, Constitution +15 (lasts three minutes)]
Only three minutes!
Marvin, who always had a quick mind, understood everything immediately.
The next second, he used the Mark of Eternal Night to quickly summon the giant eagle Belas!
At Marvin's call, the giant eagle swooped down, and Marvin took a step and jumped onto the back of the giant eagle.
"Let's go to the Dark Sea!"
Marvin said this as he stroked the soft feathers on the giant eagle's neck.
whoosh!
The golden giant eagle was like a sharp blade, splitting everything and flying towards the dark sea!
…
A minute later, the giant eagle landed on the beach.
On the beach, there was an extremely heavy stone sword.
Through the Mark of Eternal Night, Marvin knew the function of this sword.
"Two minutes left..."
The bonus to strength and physique is time-limited!
He must make a quick decision!
Thinking of this, Marvin immediately rushed to the edge of the stone sword, grabbed the hilt, and pulled it out fiercely!
This sword is very heavy. Without the fifteen points of strength added by the Night King, Marvin would not be able to pull it out!
The stone sword has no attributes and only one special effect.
That is to split the sea of darkness!
Marvin took a deep breath. Through the Mark of Eternal Night, he could feel the stone sword responding to him.
The next second, he rushed to the beach and slashed down with his sword.
The sea water suddenly collapsed.
The terrifying waves parted from both sides!
One by one, petrified human figures slowly rose from the sea!
Nineteen warriors who had been sleeping for who knows how many years finally woke up again!
The stone sword fell to the ground, and the warriors opened their eyes and looked at Marvin.
They knelt on one knee, just as they had done with the Night King.
Perhaps they no longer have the legendary strength they had before they fell asleep, but they are still invincible warriors.
Marvin let out a long breath.
With these true warriors.
He will definitely win this battle!
…
"What?!"
"Baron Marvin of the White River Valley is not in the territory?"
In the cool carriage, a girl in an elegant dress frowned and said, "If you don't want to see me, then you don't want to lend it to me. How can you come up with such a lame excuse?"
"I really don't know what my father was thinking, wanting to marry me to a rural place like this!"
The knight outside the carriage said gently, "Miss, please calm down. This reason is indeed a bit too perfunctory, but I heard that this Lord Marvin seems to like running around outside."
"We cannot disobey the order given by the master himself, so we should wait here for a while."
"Wait, wait, wait, when are we going?" The girl said unhappily, "If it weren't for that thing, I wouldn't want to come to this damn place!"
"Miss, you still need a little patience." The knight smiled and said, "Back then, Lord Marvin's grandfather stole the family treasure and left Lavis alone. We looked in many places but couldn't find it."
"I didn't expect to find his descendants this time. We must treat them with caution."
"No matter what, we must get that treasure back. Only in this way can you give an explanation to the master."
The girl couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go grab it?"
"Anyway, I don't think there are many people in this territory, and I guess there are no experts. With our knights, we can easily capture this castle. Then we can slowly search for it."
The knight laughed silently:
"Miss, no matter what, Lord Marvin is also a descendant of the Cleland family."
"Although his grandfather made a mistake, this mistake has nothing to do . He may not even know about it."
"Besides, from a blood relationship point of view, he is the brother who is closest to you."
"According to family rules, it is a foregone conclusion that you two will be married. Do you really want to attack your fiancé's castle?"
The girl remained silent and could only beat the carriage seat with her fists.
Just at this moment, a man walked past the convoy and looked at them curiously.
The girl yelled in dismay, "What are you looking at!?"
Marvin was stunned: "My territory, can't I see it?"
