Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 98: The Amazing Marvin
The lights in the underground granary flickered and everything seemed so strange.
It's empty here, there's no one in sight.
Those who were previously controlled by the mind control technique had already run away after the death of the second-level priest.
Only an empty base was left for the Blackwood Port Guard.
"What the hell? Did that boy leak the news that we are coming to clear out the area?"
"And they have already retreated early?"
The third-level wizard sensed his surroundings with some dissatisfaction.
The entire underground granary was dead silent, without a single living creature.
The only thing they saw were the bodies of two Osher dogs, both of which were killed by a single knife.
As for the rest, there was nothing.
"My lord, it seems that there is really nothing."
Several scouts wandering ahead returned and reported.
The third-level wizard looked at Old Tuk with some dissatisfaction, and the latter looked solemn and shook his head.
"You have to trust my skills, old man," said Old Took.
The third-level wizard cautiously touched his wallet, and when he found that the things were still there, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Of course I believe in your skills."
"Keep going forward."
However, at this moment, a wanderer suddenly came running back with a surprised look on his face: "Sir, I found something!"
Three minutes later, everyone arrived at the cave where the purple-robed priest was!
The body of the basilisk, the bodies of six second-level priests, and a messy, untidy area of traces of fighting...
Surprise was written all over everyone's face!
Judging from the traces here, it is clear that a great battle had taken place.
However, the six second-level priests of the Twin Snake Cult all delivered a fatal blow.
The knife wounds were basically the same as those of the two Osher dogs.
"This snake monster should be the transformation of the purple-robed priest of the Twin Snake Cult..."
The third-level wizard looked solemn: "To force him to transform into a serpent monster and finally chop him into a paste... could it be that a legend took action?"
Old Took shook his head silently.
He squatted beside a second-level priest, carefully examined the signs of death, and finally came to a conclusion that shocked him!
"Hey! Old man, you don't think that these people were really killed by that noble boy alone, do you?"
The third-level wizard sneered and said, "I heard that he is only a ranger close to the third level?"
"That's impossible."
However, Old Took's tone was firm: "Exactly the same knife wound."
The wizard was stunned for a moment and found that Old Took's expression was unusually serious, and the surprise in his eyes became even stronger.
He didn't know how close Old Tuk was to the so-called noble boy, but he knew that Old Tuk rarely lied.
The skill of this halfling tracker is also beyond doubt.
"He's been here." Old Tuk said as he looked at the faint footprints on the ground.
The third-level wizard was silent.
Although he couldn't believe it, it seemed to be the case!
A young nobleman who was said to be only at the second level, single-handedly destroyed a branch of the Twin Snakes Cult!
This is something that even many third-level professionals cannot do.
But that man did it.
He couldn't help but ask, "Who is he? What's his name?"
"He is..." Old Tuke subconsciously wanted to say Marvin's name.
Who knew that at this moment, the third-level wizard suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Old Tuk also came to his senses.
The two looked at each other and remained silent.
They knew that this name could not be spoken. Even if it was to be spoken, it had to be spoken in private!
There are many people in the security team, and the Twin Snakes Cult has a strong ability to infiltrate. What if there is an informant?
If the boy's name was really revealed, the Crimson Patriarch might kill this talented boy in the cradle!
Although this third-level wizard is a bit harsh in his words, he is naturally not a bad person since he can become friends with Old Took.
He then said in a deep voice: "Search everywhere to see if there are any remnants of the Twin Snake Cult."
"If not, just set fire to this place."
"Announce to the public that this base was built by our Blackwood Harbor security team. Of course, everyone will get the credit when we return !"
Everyone nodded silently. They also knew that the wizard was protecting the boy and attracting the attention of the Twin Snakes.
However, the Blackwood Port Guard is not afraid of the revenge of the Twin Snakes. With the support of the Southern Wizarding Union, they are not afraid of anything!
Old Took stood up slowly, still a little bit in disbelief. But when he thought of how Marvin had easily killed Elizabeth, the red spider that had troubled him for a long time in the spider dungeon, he felt relieved.
There is never a shortage of geniuses in this world.
…
The cold dark river was flowing, the long darkness finally passed, and a ray of light appeared in front of Marvin.
“It’s almost here!”
Marvin was delighted. He lay on the back of a golden bull and followed the water flow out of the underground river.
He had only walked this road once in the game, when he was trying to escape from a gang. After escaping, he headed straight for River Beach City, where he spent a short while, mainly grinding at the Scarlet Monastery.
As for the White River Valley, he had not paid any attention to it at that time. It seemed to be a very small place, and there was nothing attractive about it.
Looking back now, this underground river is a branch river that flows into the Baihe River!
It's just that because the place of origin is rather desolate and close to the Screaming Mountains, no one cares about it.
These golden bulls can follow the river all the way to Marvin’s White River Valley!
"It seems that in addition to the Spider Crypt, we can also take the water route back from Gem Bay."
Marvin thought secretly.
He sat on the back of the golden bull and drifted away.
The familiar scenery gradually appeared in his eyes. After passing through a dense forest, the stream merged into the Baihe River.
The river surface became wider, and Marvin kept an eye on the Ruyi Rope to ensure that every golden bull could follow him back.
It was early morning and many farmers in the White River Valley began to farm.
The summer wheat crop was crucial, and although many of them were very hungry, they still insisted on farming.
If we don't farm well during this period, we won't be able to harvest in the fall, and we won't be able to survive this winter.
Mistress Anna said a few days ago that Mistress Marvin would personally go to Gem Bay to purchase food, and he would definitely buy enough food for everyone to survive the winter.
But most people remain skeptical about this.
Although Lord Marvin now seems to be different from before.
After taking back the White River Valley, he lived in seclusion as before, but he kept issuing decrees one after another, with good results. The killings under the castle helped him gain authority, and his image gradually changed from gentle and kind to more majestic.
The rumor that Ma Wen is the Masked Man with Two Blades has become more and more popular.
For most of the people in the territory, Lord Marvin now looks more like a lord who can protect the residents of the territory.
But they still didn't believe that Marvin could bring back the food so soon.
Jewel Bay, that's a pretty remote place.
For many farmers, they have never left the White River Valley in their entire lives, and the farthest place they have been to is the mines in the north.
I heard that there is a big mountain between Gem Bay and White River Valley, and it would take at least half a month to get there.
No matter how powerful Lord Marven is, he can't drill through the mountain, right?
This is what most of the people think.
…
Old Tom thought so too.
As an ordinary old farmer in the White River Valley, he was one of the first generation of people who followed Marvin's grandfather to the White River Valley.
Compared to others, he is more knowledgeable, at least he has been to River Beach City.
He knew that unless Lord Marvin became a wizard like his grandfather and possessed all kinds of magical powers, it would be impossible to do this.
"It's a pity that it is said that the person who truly inherited the old lord's talent is Master Winnie, and he is still studying magic in a faraway place."
"It seems we won't be able to wait for Master Winnie's magical spell."
Old Tom said this to his children while he was working in the fields, smoking a homemade cigarette.
The latter hummed and continued to work.
Old Tom felt sad when he saw his son's thin figure: Although Lady Anna would bring people to distribute food every day, it was never enough!
After the invasion of the gnolls, life became increasingly difficult.
He sighed, looked up, and suddenly, he saw a shadow drifting on the White River.
"That is..."
"What is that thing!"
Old Tom felt his eyes were blurry and called his son in a hurry.
Little Tom looked up in surprise, looking at the golden thing on the White River and the person standing on the golden thing.
After a long while, he shouted loudly: "That's Master Marvin!"
"Master Marvin is back!"
…
Lord Marvin is back!
This is a big event that has caused a sensation in the White River Valley!
Soon, the farmers who were working by the river saw Marvin. They were extremely surprised and ran around to tell others about him. Suddenly, the originally dead and silent White River Valley became extremely lively!
Half a quarter of an hour later, Marvin, who was riding the Taurus leisurely, stopped on a relatively flat river beach.
"Master Marvin!"
Countless citizens were watching from the sidelines, and the guard members and Anna, who had received the news, all rushed over to greet Marvin.
Especially Anna , she never thought that Marvin would return to the White River Valley in such a magical way!
Didn't he take Laura to Gem Bay to buy food? Why did he bring back so many golden bulls?
Before Anna could react, Marvin pulled the bulls to the shore one by one!
Everyone was shocked!
Lord Marvin's strength is so great that these golden bulls look very heavy, but he actually pulled them to the riverbank by himself!
This is simply amazing.
However, many people were still very surprised: "Didn't Lord Marvin go to buy food?"
"How much are these gold bulls worth... How much food can one gold bull buy?"
"But the question is, where can he change it?"
Everyone was confused.
At this moment, Marvin pulled over a golden bull and asked Anna to find someone to spread a mat on the river bank.
Under Marvin's spell and in the surprised gaze of everyone, Taurus slowly opened his mouth.
Crash !
The golden wheat poured out like rain!
In an instant, the entire river beach became extremely quiet.
"Don't worry." Marvin smiled slightly: "I'm back, and everyone won't have to go hungry anymore."
Next second.
Cheers suddenly broke out, covering up all other sounds.
The entire Baihe Valley was in a state of excitement!
