Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 29: The Book of Naaru
Marvin was silent.
What does that shadow mean?
He couldn't be more clear.
Prince of Shadows!
A god active during the Cataclysm, his clones are spread all over Fenan, and he once assassinated three legends at the same time!
This is a god with strong jealousy and revenge. Those who believe in him include some assassins and a few shadow wizards.
But if a legendary master appears among these two professions, he will kill his believers without hesitation!
His famous quote is: "I wish I was the only assassin in this world."
Marvin knew him. This guy was a complete coward, so he liked to hide in the shadows, but he was indeed very strong.
If he wanted to advance to the Lord of Darkness, the Shadow Prince would definitely not let him go - in fact, in the game, Marvin had fought with him countless times!
Marvin died three times and the Shadow Prince died once.
However, because Marvin is a player and has the identity of "Son of Gold", he can be resurrected infinitely, while the Shadow Prince has only one life, so Marvin is the winner in the end.
The final result was that the Shadow Prince fell and Marvin was successfully deified.
But that was in the past life!
The crystal ball showed the scene in his previous life where Marvin killed the Shadow Prince and snatched the [Book of Naaru] from him.
He didn't know why Hathaway could see this scene.
This is really confusing.
…
"You want me to kill him?" Marvin said with some difficulty.
There is no doubt that Marvin is now like an ant to the Shadow Prince and can be crushed to death at any time.
"Do you think you can do it?"
Hathaway taunted without hesitation, "The entire Fenan Legend is on guard against this guy, but they still can't do anything to him. How can you, a ranger who hasn't even advanced to the second-level profession, kill him?"
"Then why are you showing these to me?" Marvin asked in a deep voice.
"I need you to get this." Hathaway said, pointing to the book in Marvin's hand in the crystal ball.
"The Book of the Naaru".
Also known as the "Book of Deception", it is a magical book written by the fallen god of deception, Naaru, using his last divine power.
Everyone can learn something from it, good or bad, it all depends on luck.
This thing is a magical artifact!
"I don't know where the book is now, but it's clear that it's not in the hands of the Shadow Prince yet."
Hathaway's eyes were bright. "In my vision as a Sky Awakener, you seem to have a special connection with this book. You have a way to find this book."
"Can you?"
Marvin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Only one page. My dreams guided me. Not far from here, there is a page of the Book of Naaru."
Ma Wen chose to acknowledge the identity of "The Awakener".
Since Hathaway considered himself as a fellow, he might as well make good use of this. He did know where to get the sixth page of the Book of Naaru.
If you can make friends with a future legend through this, it will undoubtedly be beneficial.
"I'll give you three months." Hathaway said firmly, "Before that happens, I have to be promoted to Legend."
"The Book of Naaru can help me do that, even if it's just one page."
"Now, tell me what you want."
The witch put the crystal ball away and looked straight at Marvin:
"I hope you won't be so stupid as to make some outrageous demands."
…
It was late at night when Marvin left the top floor of the Tower of Ashes.
The two negotiated for a long time. Because of their common identity as "Awakeners", Hathaway seemed to treat Marvin as an equal, which was very rare.
Unfortunately, Marvin knew that he was not a sky-awakener. What he saw was not a vague future like Hathaway's, but a real future!
The two chatted a lot. As far as Hathaway knew, the number of awakened people in the entire Fenan would not exceed ten.
Every Awakener has the potential to become a legend. She hasn't figured out the origin of the Awakeners yet, but it must be related to the long-lost God of Wizards.
Marvin agreed to find the Book of Naaru for Hathaway, with a simple request: to protect his younger brother Winnie, and to form an alliance between the Tower of Ashes and the White River Valley.
Hathaway agreed very readily. She certainly knew about the Unicorn Family, but unfortunately the Tower of Ashes was very powerful and was not afraid of the Unicorn Family at all.
Protecting the White River Valley is just a piece of cake.
The news of the alliance will be announced tomorrow morning and spread across the entire East Coast. As a result, anyone who wants to take action against the White River Valley will have to think carefully.
Not everyone can withstand the wrath of a quasi-legendary wizard.
For Marvin, the unexpected acquaintance of Hathaway made everything much easier.
He had originally been preparing to deal with the Unicorn Family, but now that they had arrived, the pressure was instantly relieved.
He hurried back to Winnie's dormitory, the little guy had already fallen into a deep sleep. After briefly explaining some things to the old butler, he left Magor College overnight.
The real battle for the Holy Grail will begin in two weeks, by which time Winnie should be able to recover.
And Marvin will continue with his previous plans during this period!
He had not forgotten the immortal flower he promised the mad lich, and now he had Hathaway's Book of Naaru. These things were hidden very secretly, and fortunately Marvin had a strong memory and a natural keen sense of treasures, otherwise it would be a real headache.
Of course, the most important thing is advancement!
Becoming a night walker is the most important part of Marvin's plan. If he can't advance, he and Winnie may not be able to win the magic holy grail together!
To become a Night Walker, you must find a member of the Night Walker organization.
Marvin rented a horse from Magor College and headed north overnight!
To the northwest of the Three Rings Tower is a dense forest that stretches for thousands of miles - the Thousand Leaves Forest. It is also the territory of the Woodland Elf Kingdom!
Marvin knew that there was a night walker who lived in seclusion near the Thousand Leaves Forest.
That guy is said to be very difficult to get along with, but if I can get his recommendation, it will be almost certain that I will be promoted to a Night Walker!
…
Oaktown.
As the northernmost human town in the Three Ring Tower, Oak Town has always been a paradise for human adventurers and businessmen.
Various trades are prevalent here, including the slave trade—of course, the slave trade here does not include elves.
As a region adjacent to the Woodland Elf Kingdom, no matter how greedy a merchant is, he dares not offend the Elf King. Especially in the past hundred years, the new Elf King has shown a tough attitude and tactics.
The glory of the high elves has faded, and all the high elves are already in the kingdom of immortality. Those who remain in Fenan are wood elves or other ordinary elves.
Among them, the Wood Elves are the most united. They gather in the Thousand Leaves Forest and obey the orders of the Elf King. They possess the knowledge and treasures handed down from the Second Age. Although humans have long coveted the resources within the Thousand Leaves Forest, the powerful Elf King still keeps human wizards, slave-hunting teams and merchants out with the assistance of the Elf Iron Guards.
In the past hundred years, elven slaves have rarely appeared in the south.
Because once an elf goes missing, the legendary Elf King in the Thousand Leaves Forest will personally take action and ruthlessly slaughter an entire human village!
This guy is a killer among elves! He doesn't fit the character of a normal elf at all.
However, no matter how dissatisfied the Council of Elders was with the new Elf King, they had to admit that under the leadership of this prince, the Wood Elves seemed to have regained some of the glory of the Second Age.
At least the Southern Wizarding Union has openly banned the elven slave trade and has taken the initiative to show goodwill to the Woodland Elf Kingdom.
The existence of Oak Town is a symbol of friendly cooperation between the two sides.
The two sides traded here following the ancient order, which was strict but fair.
However, this is also the stopping point for human beings' migration northwards.
The Elf King does not allow anyone to enter the Thousand Leaves Forest.
Once caught, they are locked up. Elves usually don't kill people, but their dungeons are very solid.
Even so, since the Thousand Leaves Forest is so large and the number of Elf Guards is so small, many adventurers still sneak into the Thousand Leaves Forest to collect some good resources.
As long as you are not too unlucky, you can always make a fortune.
Even if you encounter the Elf Guards, don't offend them. Say a few nice words to them and leave behind the things you got in the Thousand Leaves Forest. Maybe you can escape unscathed.
Therefore, Oak Town has always been a good place for low-level adventurers to take a gamble.
By the time Marvin rushed to Oak Town from the Three Rings Tower, it was already early morning.
He led his horse into the town.
"If I remember correctly, that lord lives in seclusion in Oakwood Town."
"The approximate location is... Never mind, it would be better to visit at night."
"I've been traveling for most of the night, I'm exhausted... I'm too weak at nine o'clock."
Marvin yawned and arrived at the door of an inn.
Pay and sleep.
It was not until the evening that he woke up in a daze.
After eating something quick, he pulled himself together and went for a walk on the street alone.
