Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 17 Slander
【Fang】
Quality: Glimmer
Attack: 7-13
Effect: Armor Break +4
…
This is a pair of decent scimitars.
At least the data displayed is pretty good. As a glimmer item, it can probably be ranked in the middle, after all, the armor penetration attribute is still very useful.
Some other properties, such as hidden properties such as durability, require a deeper level of identification. However, based on his own experience, Marvin observed the pair of scimitars for a while and preliminarily judged that the materials used to make the scimitars were very good, and they were both durable and sharp.
The only drawback is that they seem to have not been used for a long time and no one even oiled them.
This is the consequence of lack of maintenance. After Marvin got the scimitars, the first thing he did was to perform a simple maintenance on the two scimitars to make them look sharper.
The Copper Dragon also gave Marvin a suitable scabbard as a gift. The scabbard was made of leather from an unknown creature and was very soft to the touch, making it very suitable for storing sharp and easily injuring weapons such as scimitars.
Marvin took a short rest on the professor's territory, then said goodbye to the kind copper dragon and continued heading north.
After leaving the mountains, it only took him half a day to reach the Moonlight Glade.
…
Moonglade is an enclave of the Wood Elf Kingdom, and seems to be related to an agreement reached between the Elf Kingdom and the wizards of the Three Ring Tower.
This is equivalent to an outpost of the Wood Elves in the south, and also a buffer zone between the elves and humans.
There are some half-elf villages scattered around here. In fact, half-elves are a very unwelcome group. Elves absolutely exclude them, and humans also regard them as aliens, so adult half-elves usually form their own villages.
The elves in Moonglade are basically businessmen who are responsible for dealing with the surrounding human forces, and they are quite reasonable.
Unlike some conservative elves deep in the elven kingdom, who still haven't forgotten the glory of the Second Age's high elf rule, they have always regarded humans as the lowest creatures, with a status not much different from that of kobolds and gnolls.
Moonlight Glade is closely connected to the Three Rings Tower in the north, with an average of two hot air balloon flights to the Three Rings Tower every week.
Hot air balloons are a technology of the dwarves, but were borrowed by the artisan wizards of the Three Ring Tower, who turned them into a daily means of transportation. You can always see hot air balloon caravans in the skies above the Three Ring Tower and nearby friendly forces.
This is also a unique landscape on the East Coast.
Marvin arrived at an inopportune time, as the hot air balloon in the inn had just flown away.
So he had to wait patiently for the next bus.
Nothing happened while he was waiting. After Marvin showed his Baron Medal awarded by the Southern Wizard Union, he easily bought a ticket.
Three days later, Marvin boarded a hot air balloon and headed for the Three Rings Tower.
Another day and a half later, Marvin successfully arrived at the inner ring area of the third ring tower.
A pointed tower in the distance was getting closer and closer. Under the command of a shorter wizard tower, the hot air balloon slowly landed on an open space.
We have arrived at the Tower of Ashes in the Three Rings Tower!
…
The Tower of Ashes is very large, and Magor Academy is just a small area of it.
After getting off the hot air balloon, Marvin followed the signs and headed towards Magor College.
Soon, he arrived outside the college, but he still had to queue up to enter.
There is a checkpoint ahead to verify the identity of the visitor.
"What day is it today? Why are so many people visiting Magor College?"
Marvin was somewhat surprised at the number of people who came to visit.
Many of them looked rich or noble, probably aristocrats from the East Coast.
They all came with their families. A family would have at least a dozen people, and among them there would be a young child.
"It turns out that the time to recruit new apprentices is approaching."
Marvin suddenly realized. No wonder there were so many people here today. He had no choice but to wait patiently.
…
Magor College is a training base for wizard apprentices opened by the wizards of the Tower of Ashes.
Like other wizard academies, it is responsible for accepting various apprentices with wizard qualifications sent by the Southern Wizard Union and training them to become qualified wizards.
Marvin's younger brother Winnie was sent away from the White River Valley to study at Magor College because he was found to have outstanding wizarding qualifications.
Half a year ago, his father Gene passed away, and Winnie came back to visit him. At that time, Marvin did not notice anything unusual.
This nine-year-old brother has very early shown wisdom and thoughtfulness that is inconsistent with his age.
He never complained to Marvin. In fact, according to Marvin's speculation, Winnie must have suffered a lot of bullying at Magor College.
The White River Valley was small and could barely afford Winnie's tuition, and being a wizard was a very expensive profession.
"What a stubborn kid."
Recalling Winnie's still very young but strong face, Marvin couldn't help shaking his head.
I didn't expect something like this to happen this time.
Do those wizards really think that the White River Valley has completely declined since their grandfather?
No matter who did it, Marvin will make them regret it!
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but press down the scimitar .
At this moment, the checkpoint ahead suddenly shouted, "Next."
Is it your turn?
Marvin narrowed his eyes and walked up quickly.
…
There were not many people in charge of the inspection, only a wizard apprentice and two warriors.
None of these warriors are high-level, all are at the first level, and they appear to be followers of the wizard apprentice.
The apprentice wore the emblem of Magor Academy, but the two followers did not.
He is only responsible for the simplest identity verification, and as long as the number matches, he will let you pass.
This is also the confidence of the wizards of Magor College. No one dares to make trouble in their territory.
"Baron Marvin from the White River Valley?"
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of the wizard's apprentice's mouth.
"That's right." Marvin seemed calm.
The wizard apprentice was holding Marvin's baron medal and an identity certificate - also from the Southern Wizarding Union.
"I have never heard of this place," said the wizard's apprentice.
"There are so many places you haven't heard of." Marvin frowned: "Denino, Sovaha, have you heard of them?"
The two nouns that Marvin uttered were some very dangerous places in the lower plane. With the knowledge of a wizard apprentice, he naturally would not understand them.
What made him secretly unhappy was the attitude of this apprentice.
"This guy...seems to know me..."
Marvin looked at the apprentice and felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, this apprentice's position is equivalent to that of a receptionist, so there is no need for him to talk so much nonsense to me.
His eyelids twitched slightly and he had a bad feeling.
…
The apprentice was holding Marvin's ID and medal, sneering in his heart .
Sure enough, Boss White's information was accurate. As soon as the bastard's brother heard that he was sick, he would definitely come.
But Boss White said that it would take more than a week to get from the White River Valley to the Three Ring Tower, and he thought Marvin couldn't be that fast.
"No matter what, since Boss White has given the order, we must get it done."
"The branch in the White River Valley has long been in decline. This Marvin is just a waste who can't become a wizard. After his brother died, there was no hope for him to rise again."
"There's no one behind them, so what I do is basically risk-free. I can also please the heir of the Unicorn family, so there's no need to hesitate."
Such a thought flashed through his mind .
Suddenly he shouted, "There's something wrong with your ID! It's obviously forged!"
"How dare you pretend to be a noble?!"
"You two, take him down for me!"
The people around were all surprised.
Impersonating a noble? This is a capital crime, right? Would anyone really do this?
However, before they could react, the two soldiers immediately pressed forward from the left and right.
…
"Hmm? Is there really a problem? How dare you slander me."
Ma Wen was furious: "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
Without saying a word, he drew his sword and charged forward!
Surrendering without a fight has never been Marvin's style. They are just two first-level fighters. Marvin is not afraid at all now!
