Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 206: Land of Chaos
Moving quickly along the dark and damp cave.
Marvin's speed suddenly increased to a higher level.
This is an area close to the surface, and human adventurers from the surface often come to sweep the area. It is rare for monsters to appear that Marvin cannot deal with.
In fact, that group of horror claws is almost the boss of this area.
After Marvin killed them, it would be hard to encounter more terrifying monsters around here.
So he was reckless and ran very fast.
The dark elf did not catch up.
Perhaps it was because Marvin had snatched her scimitar. The drow warrior, having lost his weapon, certainly did not dare to pursue rashly.
All in all, Marvin was very lucky to escape from a potential dark elf scout team.
Half a day later, he finally reached the exit of the cave.
Fresh air came from outside the cave. Marvin took a big step out. The dazzling sunlight suddenly made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened them.
What appeared before him was an incredibly beautiful fertile land!
Two winding rivers flow across the flat plain from the north, and large areas of farmland fill the corners of the plain.
There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, with some simple houses scattered around the edge of the farmland.
The town was bustling with people coming and going.
In the distance, a high mountain stands, with white steam rising from it all day long.
That's a volcano.
Rocky mountain.
… …
Marvin quietly crawled out of the cave. There were many similar caves on the whole mountain.
Most large caves are guarded, and adventurers who want to enter seem to be charged a fee.
However, the cave that Marvin came out of was so remote that no one was interested in it.
He adjusted his state slightly and activated the camouflage technique.
This is the surface world. Although it is a place of exile that the Southern Alliance disdains, it is also the edge of human civilization.
Since the incident on the Rotten Plateau, Marvin learned that almost the entire Fenan Continent had seen him - including the Stone Mountain, of course.
In this era when information flow is relatively difficult, Marvin's fame is simply off the charts.
If you don't disguise yourself, you will be recognized immediately.
In order to make things easier, he not only changed his appearance, but also took out the outfit he wore in River Beach City.
A mask with two swords and a cape.
Marvin hurried down the mountain, but encountered trouble when trying to enter the town.
"What? Protection money?"
Facing the two men with unfriendly looks, Marvin asked in surprise:
"Isn't this the territory of the three sisters?"
The two big men were tall, shirtless, holding long knives, and looked extremely ferocious.
Hearing Marvin's words, the two looked at each other, and one of them frowned and said:
"Are you from the Three Sisters?"
…
In the quiet darkness, a faint light emanated from above the cave.
Those are radioactive gems.
The entire dark underground, except for some luminous plants, basically relies on these gems to provide light.
"...Ms. Tess, these are all the results of this reconnaissance."
"Except for the accident that occurred in Riven's group, the rest of the groups all completed their tasks successfully."
A delicate voice reported this.
It was a female dark elf with an equally hot body. She looked at Riven, the leader of the scout team, with a gloating look.
This time, even if Ms. Tess likes you, she has no reason to cover up for you, right?
Who would have thought that Ms. Tess, who was so high up and completely shrouded in a cloak, would not pursue this point.
She whispered, "A human on the surface was able to kill four Devil's Claws alone, including the mutated Devil's Claw Elite. Such a master may not be a match for the scout team. He chose to escape because he didn't want to be our enemy. Riven's decision not to pursue him was correct."
"That human isn't the key. We will launch a surprise attack before dawn tomorrow anyway."
"But before that, we need to do one last reconnaissance."
"This time, I will only send the most elite experts, two at most."
Ms. Tess's eyes were fixed on the female dark elf and Riven who had reported earlier: "Are you two ready?"
They both nodded.
"Go to Lion Town and see if those humans are really vulnerable. See how their troops are deployed."
"You must remember that the scroll of advanced transfiguration I gave you can only last for six hours."
"You must be careful and not disturb the masters among humans!"
"If you fail, you know what will happen!"
Ms. Tess emphasized the last sentence. Raven and the other female drow lowered their heads.
Tess's tone slowed down:
"The [Underground Winter] has arrived early, and we no longer have enough food. Master Clark has shown me the way."
"Those foolish surface people would never have imagined that we have united under the wings of Master Clark and found a new exit to the surface."
"They are doomed to perish, but we will be reborn."
As her charming voice rang out, countless scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the boundless darkness.
This is the characteristic of actively activating [Eyes of Fear]!
Dense crowds of people gathered in the open area.
Dark elves are only a part of them, there are also bugbears, kobolds, gnolls, swamp demons, and a small number of gray dwarves!
These creatures, who have always regarded each other as mortal enemies, have finally united together.
A disaster is brewing quietly.
…
But the humans on the surface are still unaware of this.
Even Marvin, because of the two idiots in front of him, had no time to think about what the appearance of a dark elf scout team near the surface meant.
He realized he was in trouble.
In his previous life, he arrived at the Stone Mountain, which had already been unified into a complete country.
The three sisters of destiny are the masters of this place. But now, they are not yet!
At this time, although the Rocky Mountain had beautiful scenery and relatively fertile land, it was occupied by various forces!
This is a land of chaos, a place of exile for human civilization!
For example, the Southern Wizarding Alliance, after expelling the warlocks, often exiled some of the most evil people here.
Because of the natural obstacles of the Bai people and the Sage Desert, few people can cross the desert alone and return to the civilized world.
So over time, this place has become a paradise for criminals.
In the current Luanshi Mountain, various forces are still rampant. The Three Sisters organization has already gained some reputation, enough to compete with the other two major forces - but this has only happened in recent years. It's all because Jessica, the eldest of the three sisters, stimulated the power in her blood and became a terrifying apocalypse warlock.
All in all, the current "Three Sisters" is still a developing organization.
Their base camp is in the City of Hope at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, not in this small town called Lion.
In fact, this town is currently controlled by an organization called the Golden Lion.
This place is close to the underground and is where adventurers gather. The town is a mixed bag, but under the management of the golden lion, the order is pretty good.
Just don't go out at night.
The town welcomes all consumers and adventurers, except for one type of people - the three sisters.
So when Marvin said that subconsciously, the looks from the people around him immediately became strange.
Although the two big men did not take direct action, a group of people rushed out of the town soon!
These people were poorly equipped, but they were coming in a fierce force. One of them, a tall, thin man with a limp, stared at Marvin coldly:
"If you want to cause trouble, I advise you to go somewhere else. No one from the Three Sisters is welcome in Lion Town."
Marvin smiled bitterly to himself, but replied calmly: "I am not one of the three sisters. I am just a traveler passing by."
"I want to go to town to resupply, is that not okay?"
The expert man looked Marvin up and down and warned, "It's better this way!"
"If you are a spy sent by the three sisters, our boss will smash you into pieces."
"You can enter the town if you want, but you must pay the protection fee."
"otherwise……"
Ding Dong!
With a crisp sound, two silver coins were thrown out directly by Marvin.
"Is that enough?" Marvin asked in a deep voice.
The lame man grabbed the two silver coins and said coldly, "That's enough."
After saying this, his men immediately made way for him , and Marvin walked in calmly.
"Find two people and follow him."
"Keep me updated."
The lame man whispered to his men.
…
The daylight hours in Rocky Mountain are very short.
Marvin had just entered Lion Town and had been wandering around for a while when it got dark.
As for the two followers behind him, he simply ignored them.
After all, he is now a fourth-level master. Marvin will not be afraid unless a legend takes action or they send out their army.
In places like Lion Town, the army is made up of a bunch of disorganized bandits and has no discipline at all.
Ma Wen thought it would be difficult to kill seven people in and out seven times, but it should be no problem to escape safely.
Lion Town is located on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, but it is still quite lively.
What Marvin needs to do is to find news about the Spark of Order as soon as possible.
To this end, he strolled around the commercial district for a long time.
Finally, he found a relatively prosperous tavern and went in.
Marvin sat at the bar for a while and ordered a glass of famous local fruit wine. However, the wine tasted quite sour and Marvin lost interest after taking a sip.
As he sat here, his eyes involuntarily looked at the people coming and going in the tavern.
At this moment, a tempting voice sounded in her ears:
"Can you buy me a drink?"
A hot blonde woman.
She was wearing revealing clothes, and her pair of XXXXXX kept shaking in front of Marvin's eyes, which was quite visually impactful.
Marvin shrugged , flicked out a few silver coins and threw them on the bar.
"Ten cups will do."
