Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 196: Taking advantage of others’ misfortune?
Immune to lethal damage!
This is a characteristic possessed by some fourth-level professionals.
Once they reach this level, their vitality will become extremely strong, and they will not die immediately even if they are hit in a fatal position.
For example, the ogre that Marvin encountered before was such a situation.
Of course, not all professions have the ability to be immune to fatal damage.
For example, assassins and thieves among the wanderers, even if they are promoted to the fourth level, it is difficult for them to gain immunity to lethal damage. The same is true for wizards and sorcerers.
As for the ranger, he is considered to have relatively strong frontal combat capabilities among the wanderers, and his physique is also relatively good, so he can obtain such characteristics.
…
After being promoted to the fourth level, 2 attribute points and a large number of skill points need to be allocated by Marvin.
But he hesitated for a moment and decided to put the 2 attribute points aside for the time being.
Free attribute points are very precious. Generally speaking, before obtaining 30 points of [Divine Agility], he would not consider spending free points on other attributes.
However, his current agility is restricted by his physique. If he doesn't find ways to improve his physique through other means, it would be a pity to waste attribute points on his physique.
In Marvin's memory, there are still some ways to quickly improve physical fitness, but he just doesn't have time to improve it for the time being.
When this matter is completely over, he will still have to embark on the journey to the Stone Mountain again.
And on that trail, there is a special hot spring that can improve your physical fitness.
However, there is a terrifying monster guarding the hot spring, so it is not easy to take a bath in it.
As for the skill points, Marvin dealt with them quickly.
With 48 skill points for the ranger, he did not choose to hide - as his strength grew, the most important skill of this ranger had become somewhat useless.
It would be a bit redundant to invest skill points in [Hide]. Moreover, skills like Hiding and Stealth already have strong enough effects with the bonus of the occupational specialty [King of the Wilderness] and the Night Walker's [Hidden during the Day and Active at Night]. Investing more skill points will not bring more marginal effects.
So he chose a passive skill - [Hand Skill].
48 skill points, all thrown in.
This skill is a passive skill that can greatly improve the dexterity of Marvin's hands. This passive skill is a must-have skill for thieves. Although Marvin is a ranger, he will be promoted to the Lord of the Night in the future. He can play with a turning knife and a dagger at the same time. This skill will come in handy!
He can make Marvin's offense smoother and more comfortable!
…
After the Night Walker level was raised to level 5, he gained another 36 Night Walker skill points. Together with the 16 points he had saved before, the total was 52 points.
Marvin also chose to invest in new skills.
This time, he chose [Shadow Escape] which can only be learned at level 5 in the Night Walker's skill list!
[Shadow Escape]: Can be used to escape to places with shadows.
There is no doubt that this is an escape spell, and what Marvin lacked most before was this kind of escape skill.
The Shadow Escape combined with Dark Night Jump and Night Song Realm allows Marvin to have the ability to cut in or escape at night that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The best part is that, unlike Nightsong and Night Leap, Shadow Escape has no time limit.
Although the number of uses per day is 2, its biggest advantage is that it can be used during the day!
This gave Marvin a much greater chance of escaping when facing great danger.
At the same time, 50 points of [Shadow Escape] can also trigger a very good hidden effect [Quick Disappearance].
[Quick Disappearance]: Your Shadow Escape speed is increased by 50%.
Don’t underestimate this 50%. Many times, a moment’s time difference can affect the entire battle situation.
Marvin spent the remaining two skill points on [Summon Dark Crow]. Anyway, this skill is quite practical.
…
Running all the way, Marvin couldn't wait to cross the River Beach City and quietly arrived at the White River Valley.
It was already afternoon when he arrived at the White River Valley.
But what surprised him was that there was an army lined up on the border of the White River Valley!
Marvin frowned, turned on stealth, and then used camouflage to disguise himself as another person.
He quietly leaned over and took a closer look -
This is actually the army of Hetan City!
"Medille!"
Marvin took a deep breath!
He silently sensed the law contract - sure enough, during the days when he was not in Fenan, the contract had disappeared!
From this perspective, she has already been promoted to a legend!
This woman is really ambitious. As soon as she was promoted to Legend, she couldn't wait to settle the score with me?
Ma Wen sneered and left quietly.
…
White River Valley, meeting room in the castle.
An envoy from River Beach City was talking:
"Viscount Marvin has fallen on hard times. This is something everyone has witnessed."
"Although I don't understand these profound things, I can still understand the result of the alliance's ruling."
"Viscount Marvin unfortunately passed away, and his position will naturally be inherited by his younger brother, Master Winnie. However, considering that Master Winnie is underage, it is obviously not appropriate for him to preside over the current White River Valley."
"So our master, considering his friendship with Viscount Marvin, decided to include the White River Valley in the protection of River Beach City according to the alliance's regulations."
"This is a vassal's signature."
"As long as Master Winnie voluntarily signs and swears allegiance to Lady Madeline and becomes her vassal, she will naturally protect the White River Valley."
The messenger handed over a parchment scroll arrogantly.
Winnie didn't even look at it and pushed it away.
Then he said to the messenger very calmly: "I have said it many times, my brother is still alive."
The messenger smiled slightly: "Perhaps, but unfortunately, the Alliance does not think so."
He took out a death certificate of Marvin issued by the Southern Wizarding Union. It described Marvin's contributions: expanding the territory for the Union, sacrificing himself for Fenan... a lot of gorgeous words were written densely, and finally announced Marvin's death.
His family business will be inherited by his younger brother Vinny. This is the tradition of the alliance.
However, at this time, Madeline suddenly intervened and dug out a bunch of old regulations from somewhere. On the surface, she said that she wanted to protect the White River Valley, but in fact, she just wanted to annex this fertile land.
Winnie is certainly not a fool. He knows exactly what he should do.
That is to resolutely deny Marvin's death - even if the hope is really slim. Because even Master Hathaway has lost control and slaughtered all the Twin Snakes strongholds on the entire east coast, and now it is said that they have all gone north.
The entire Baihe Valley was in a state of panic.
Although Anna once issued a statement claiming that Marvin was not dead, he just lost contact temporarily.
But the next morning, every resident's home had a copy of Marvin's death report signed by the alliance himself.
This made the Baihe Valley somewhat less stable.
There is no doubt that this was Madeline's doing.
A territory cannot be without a lord.
An expanding territory cannot be without a lord who can stabilize people's hearts.
Obviously, although Winnie is very capable, he is still too young.
It was Daniela who had been keeping the situation under control these days.
Although this girl came for the head of the Devil Lord from the beginning, when the real crisis occurred in the White River Valley, she did not retreat, but stood up.
Daniela personally stepped in to suppress all the unrest in the territory!
And today, it's no different.
In the conference room, in front of the envoy, the future Ice Queen tore off the parchment with a single rip.
"Get out of here in three seconds."
"The White River Valley does not need protection."
Daniela said arrogantly.
The messenger said sinisterly: "The world has been very unstable recently. There are bandits everywhere on the official roads..."
However, before he could finish his words, his entire body was frozen into an ice sculpture!
A cold atmosphere spread throughout the conference room.
There was a hint of surprise in Anna and Winnie's eyes.
Even if we were to go to war with Hetan City, it was a basic principle that the two armies should not kill envoys during a battle. No matter how annoying this envoy was, we could just send him away.
By doing this, Daniela completely broke off relations with Riverside City.
But they did not speak up to dissuade him, because they had been feeling very unhappy these days!
No matter what, Daniela, an outsider, dared to go against Madeline for the White River Valley. Anna and Winnie naturally had no reason not to support her!
"Hey, that big fool, do you dare to give this ice sculpture to that bitch?"
Daniela said coldly to the dark warrior standing nearby.
The latter was silent for a while, then walked out step by step holding the ice sculpture.
Daniela was the first to leave the meeting room. After a while, she came back and said solemnly to Anna and Winnie:
"Don't worry, I won't let her succeed."
"I'm betting on the honor of my royal family of Lavis."
Her eyes were so determined.
…
"So in the eyes of the alliance, I am already a dead man?"
Marvin, in disguise, walked in the slightly depressed White River Valley.
The adventurers seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and all hid in the camp on the other side of the river.
The ground was full of the League's ruling on Marvin's death. From the conversations of the people, Marvin also learned the purpose of Madeline's visit!
She actually wanted to take advantage of her "death" to annex the White River Valley!
"Haha, this woman is really courting death."
"Do you really think that you will be fearless once you become a Legend?"
Ma Wen looked coldly at the pieces of paper with his "portraits" drawn on them, and made a secret decision in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a dark warrior approaching!
Marvin's heart moved, and instead of showing up in public, he hid himself!
This most difficult moment is the best testimony to people’s hearts.
Marvin simply hid in the dark and waited to see who was loyal to the White River Valley and who was the real fence-sitter.
…
The junction of the White River Valley and River Beach City.
The River Beach City army stood in awe. Next to them was the flag of the Silver Church, which was the guardian knights of the Silver God.
"Sir, are we really going to do this?" Guderian asked dissatisfiedly.
Collins said leisurely: "The situation in the south is different . You should pay attention. Lady Madeline is also a legend. As for Marvin, it's all because that kid died early."
"Now that he can't pay, of course we will help Lady Madeline."
"If his brother had more sense, he wouldn't have to fight, and could have just gotten along peacefully."
"But...it seems like things are taking a turn for the worse..."
Along with Collins' voice, the dark warrior carrying the ice sculpture of the messenger walked step by step along the official road.
Crash!
He swung the ice sculpture over fiercely, and his target was the most magnificent and luxurious carriage in the River Beach City army!
Daniela followed him alone, with a determined look on her face.
boom!
An exaggerated fireball formed out of thin air and directly shattered the ice sculpture!
Ice and fire blended together, blood and flesh scattered all over the army.
The soldiers in River Beach City felt uneasy.
"Tsk tsk tsk... you killed my people. Are you going to start a war?"
Madeline's charming voice came from the luxurious carriage.
Daniela stepped forward, and an icy trail instantly formed under her feet:
"Medille, don't even think about taking another step forward."
"Ms. Daniela, I know your background." Madeline still sat calmly in the carriage, talking to Daniela lazily.
She is indeed qualified because she is already a legendary wizard, and Daniela is a quasi-legend!
"You are the princess of Lavis. Even if you are engaged to Marvin, he is dead now. There is no need for you to go against me."
She advised so.
If it were someone else, Madeline would have probably impatiently killed him long ago.
However, she still felt a little apprehensive about the family behind Daniela.
However, Daniela's determination was totally incomprehensible!
She said coldly:
"I still say that you and your army will never be able to take another step forward."
"I don't like Marvin, but I like Winnie very much. In fact, it's nice to have a cute brother - of course, most importantly, I like this place very much."
"Every piece of land you and your army are about to step on was built by me personally. How could I allow you to trample on it so easily?"
Madeline was silent.
After a long time, a helpless voice came from the carriage:
"So, we can only fight?"
"Either retreat or fight."
Daniela's body began to change slowly, her skin became whiter, and an astonishing coldness burst out from her body!
Ice angel form!
"Ice Angel? Interesting." Madeline's somewhat teasing voice suddenly came from behind Daniela!
At some point, a door quietly opened behind her.
Daniela was caught off guard and was knocked heavily to the ground by Madeline's flaming whip!
