Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 93: Leap in the Dark

Whoosh! The dart got stuck in the wall of a wooden house.

A disheveled figure rolled over from the ground.

Ma Wen frowned. It was him!

Little Took!

"Mr. Marvin, it's me..."

The little halfling looked at Marvin with a wry smile. He was almost hit by Marvin's sudden dart. If he had not dodged in time, he would have been hurt by his own people.

Marvin was also a little surprised.

Logically speaking, the two halflings should have arrived at Trojan Town earlier than them.

But even so, the Twin Snakes Cult's massacre ceremony took place at least half a day ago. When the two halflings arrived here, they should have discovered that something was wrong.

"Why are you here? Where is your father?" Marvin asked.

Little Took answered honestly, "Dad's gone after those bastards."

"Those people killed innocent people here. Dad said he would find out where they are and then inform the garrison at Gem Bay."

"He asked me to stay nearby and see if there were any other signs."

Old Took went on the trail?

Marvin's brain was racing.

This massacre seems to be a little different from previous ones.

In the past, the Twin Snakes had basically killed and burned everything, leaving nothing behind. But this time, Marvin did not see any flames.

He only saw that the granary in Trojan Town had been looted.

"Is their goal also to obtain food?"

A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Marvin!

He remembered!

There is indeed an underground base of the Twin Snakes Cult near Tornado Harbor. This base is one of their branches on the east coast, and it mainly stores large amounts of food.

Marvin had also soloed the dungeon called [The Twin Snakes' Granary] many times!

"These bastards took advantage of the fact that the guards in Trojan Town were unattended and looted Trojan Town, and then carried out a massacre... "

"They were transporting food, so they must have left traces. No wonder Old Tuk chose to track them."

"In that case..."

Marvin thought silently for a while and suddenly made a decision.

He grabbed Laura and said seriously, "I need you to go to Black Dock Port. Little Tuk will protect you. Go there and see if you can buy some food."

Laura was stunned: “What about you?”

Marvin glanced at Little Tuk and said, "I'm going to find his dad."

…

The little halfling didn't have a strong opinion to begin with, so he agreed to Marvin's request. After all, he had abandoned Laura once before, and this time he secretly vowed to protect Laura no matter what. At Marvin's urging, the two of them quickly left Trojan Town.

Before leaving, Marvin gave her 20 wizard gold coins!

This is a full 20,000 silver coins. Laura has never seen so much money since she was a child, and she was stunned. Little Tuk beside him was very calm. He has always lived with the old halfling and has no concept of money.

"The food crisis in the White River Valley depends largely on you," Marvin said seriously.

Laura suddenly felt that the courage in her body was so heavy.

After the two left, Marvin also started his own action.

He mounted his horse and galloped southwest without carefully checking for any traces.

Because he knew the location of the underground granary.

It is near the Screaming Mountains, but it is quite a distance away from the Spider Dungeons. After all, one is in the west and the other is in the east.

Laura and I were prepared for both situations. If we could get enough food from the underground granary of the Twin Snakes Cult, everyone would be happy; if not, we would have to go through formal channels. Black Dock Port was the closest port among the six Pearl Harbors except for Tornado Port.

Marvin also wanted to use this opportunity to test Laura's thoughts one last time.

He still couldn't quite figure out this girl. Sometimes she looked simple and innocent, but sometimes she was full of cunning.

More than 20,000 silver coins, the final test. If she could withstand such temptation, Marvin could really believe her.

…

As the strong horse galloped, Marvin's thoughts kept recalling the situation when he first cleared the [Underground Granary].

The underground granary is a special place because it is where the Twin Snake Cult believers gather. There are not only more than 500 ordinary believers, but also six Twin Snake Cult priests of the second level and a purple robe priest!

The most powerful of the Twin Snakes were the two Patriarchs, the Scarlet Patriarch and the Azure Patriarch. Both were legendary warriors, and were extremely powerful. The last Night Walker who died was killed by the Scarlet Patriarch while he was chasing him.

Below the two patriarchs are twelve purple robes. These twelve purple robes are codenamed after the names of various venomous snakes: King Cobra, Black Mamba, etc.

The twelve purple robes were all third-level divine magicians. The Twin Snakes of Destruction did exist. They were gods that existed in ancient times, but they were quite cruel and worshipped killing and destruction. They were cast , but they could still partially respond to the prayers of believers.

As long as you kill, as long as you destroy, as long as you carry the banner of world destruction, you will be favored by the Twin Snakes of Destruction.

The magicians of the Twin Snakes were all very troublesome. Their magic was vicious and cruel, and had a strong persistence. In the game, it was fine. If they died, they died. If they were disabled, they would be disabled. There would always be a day when they would be refreshed. But in reality, Marvin had to deal with it carefully.

You can't let the magic of the divine magician fall on you!

However, this is extremely difficult.

Although the twelve purple-robed warriors stationed in the underground granary are replaced regularly, Marvin is not sure how well-defended the underground granary is now, but as long as they are third-level divine magicians, they are not easy to mess with.

After all, the spells of these people are almost as fast as those of warlocks. Apart from a fatal move, there is almost no way to deal with them.

In addition to the purple-robed priests guarding the underground granary, there are at least six second-level divine magicians here.

Of course, the biggest trouble is actually the believers.

Marvin didn’t know how many believers had gathered in the underground granary at this moment, but the more there were, the more trouble there would be.

Because these believers do not truly believe in the Twin Snakes Cult, but are controlled by the Twin Snakes Cult's human theologians using mind control techniques!

The Twin Snakes Church holds sacrifices regularly, and these people whose minds are controlled become the objects of sacrifice.

What's more terrifying is that these people will hinder your progress. They are innocent people. If you kill their way in, it will not only easily alert the higher-ups, but will also kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Almost, it's time to upgrade the level."

Marvin sat on the horse and began to check the data panel while calibrating the direction.

…

The previous series of battles, including the battle for the Holy Grail, the killing of Dosiloa and his group, and the crossing of the Screaming Mountains, had accumulated a wealth of killing experience for Marvin.

Now on his data panel, the killing experience displayed is: 18770 points!

He thought about it carefully, and finally allocated 12,000 experience points to the Night Walker level.

In this way, he raised his Night Walker level to level 2, plus the Ranger's level 6, the total level was 8.

He gained 36 Night Walker-exclusive skill points and 42 HP bonus. There are no attribute points at level 8, because you can only get one free attribute point after every two career levels. There is no specialty bonus for the level 2 Night Walker.

However, Marvin did not stop. He immediately allocated 3,000 killing experience points to the Shapeshifter!

In this way, his first part-time job [Shaped Warlock] was upgraded from level 1 to level 2, gaining an 18-point health bonus. Apart from that, he did not gain any new spells or feats.

But in this way, Marvin's total level reached level 9!

Because part-time occupations are also counted into the total level, but the calculation needs to be halved.

(Ranger 6 + Night Walker 2 + Shaman 2/2 = Total Level 9)

So he got another free attribute point.

Undoubtedly, he put this free attribute point into agility. As a result, his agility reached 23. It was not far from the 25 mark.

After two upgrades, Marvin's health points increased directly from 208 to 268, and his vitality became much stronger.

He also properly allocated the 36 points of Night Walker skill points. He gave 6 points to [Summon Dark Raven], which can increase the duration of Dark Raven's existence. Marvin thinks this reconnaissance skill is still very useful. With the remaining 30 points, Marvin chose a brand new skill - [Night Jump]!

[Night Jump]: In the next three minutes, your jumping ability is greatly improved. Restriction: Use at night.

The increase in jumping ability and the duration of jumping ability are determined by the skill points.

Marvin believed that [Burst + Night Leap] would give him an advantage in battle. And with Eternal Night, he could use this skill even in the daytime.

The Night Walker has few skills, but they are all very useful. Once the level of [Night Walker] is raised, Marvin can almost be the king of the night!

The last step is to deal with the ranger's skill points.

In the previous upgrades, Marvin did not use the Ranger's professional skill points too much to improve his professional skills.

So he still had 45 skill points left, and after a series of battles, Marvin's professional skills had a slight increase, such as stealth, which increased to 56 points.

Considering the special nature of this trip to the underground granary, Marvin put all his skill points into stealth.

Although hiding is a more basic skill for a ranger, it is too passive. What Marvin needs now is a super stealth ability!

So his stealth skill instantly exceeded 100 points and reached 101 points.

After doing all this, Marvin felt full of strength!

Killing experience 3770, not much left. But with Marvin's killing speed, it is not a luxury to rush to the third level quickly.

…

The horses moved forward, and not far away, the outline of the Screaming Mountains became clearly visible.

Under a big tree, Marvin pulled the reins because he saw an old acquaintance.

Old Took.

The old halfling was also surprised to see Marvin coming. He seemed to be looking for some trace.

Marvin asked calmly, "Have you found the base of the Twin Snakes?"

Old Tuke looked at Marvin in surprise: "You also know about the Trojan Town incident?"
