Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 187 The Hermit
Marvin gained a lot from the trip to the Rotten Mushroom Swamp, and his previous fierce battle with the Snake Witch was not in vain.
When Marvin left the swamp, the wounds on his body were still aching, which made him sigh at the power of the God-Slaying Forbidden Spell.
However, although he did not look carefully, he still noticed that some of the books he had found in the Snake Witch's library seemed to contain descriptions of the forbidden spell to kill gods.
These things are valuable resources. Although there is no suitable person to deliver them in the White River Valley at present, Marvin believes that this person will come back soon.
Deep in his heart, he had a strong premonition that when Winnie returned from the wilderness, as a revelation who had not died young, he should be able to embark on a path as a wizard that his predecessors had never imagined.
Marvin had already prepared everything for him in the White River Valley, just waiting for him to come back.
As that premonition grew stronger, he knew that it all seemed not far away.
When the two brothers join forces, Marvin’s burden will be much lighter.
After all, Madeline and another legendary wizard were puppets controlled by the Book of Naaru and were unable to take on the important task.
Thinking of this, Marvin couldn't help but sigh. The power of the Book of Naaru was terrifying, and even legendary masters could be deprived of their minds by it. If Marvin didn't have the Book of Wisdom, he really wouldn't dare to use the Book of Naaru.
…
After leaving the Rotten Mushroom Swamp, Marvin had achieved most of the purpose of this trip.
With the Blade of Sodom and the Phantom Defense in hand, even if you can't kill the final ghost mother, you should be able to escape unscathed.
A BOSS of the final Ghost Mother's level is basically world-class. It is actually somewhat difficult to completely eliminate her with the existing power in the Underdark.
Even with the help of Marvin and Jessica, it would still be very difficult. But Marvin had to try, because the invasion of the Dark Ghosts would not only affect the Underdark, but also the Stone Mountain and even the surface of Fenan. If the Dark Ghosts were allowed to spread, this population that was more terrifying than the plague would pose a greater threat to the creatures of Fenan than the evil spirits!
Of course, this time we come to the southern part of the Underdark, there is one last destination.
There is a quiet valley not far from the patio area.
There was a hermit in the valley, and no one had ever seen what he looked like.
But Marvin knew where he was coming from.
He holds a strange object in his hand, called the Sword of Demon Subjugation. It is important to know that this phrase is directly translated from the ancient common language - which means that the origin of this weapon is very ancient.
In fact, the hermit has a close relationship with the dark ghost.
They are from the same world.
The Dark Phantom Clan is actually a group of locusts wandering in the universe. After they discover a plane, they dig a gap and then begin to infect, invade, and plunder, eventually devouring the entire plane.
The last plane to be swallowed was the world where the hermit was.
The name of that plane is no longer traceable, but as the only remaining strong man in that world, the Hermit should have led his people into battle time and time again.
He knows the Dark Phantom very well, and there are rumors that he has fought against the Final Ghost Mother.
Later, with the collapse of that world, the Dark Phantom set his sights on Fenan again.
It was just that they encountered a tough opponent when invading Fenan - the Night King, who was at his peak at the time, led the ancient sages to seal the final ghost mother. During this process, it is said that the hermit once came to this world with the dark ghost and gave the Night King some useful advice .
In the final battle of the seal, the demon-slaying sword in his hand caused immeasurable damage to the Final Ghost Mother, allowing the Night King and others to easily complete the seal.
So after the frequent group annihilations in the [Eternal Frozen Spring] dungeon, some people speculated that this hermit was the key to completing the mission.
Through a series of clues and with the help of a hermit, they finally conquered the Everfrost Spring copy and killed the final ghost mother.
But that was a team of 25 super legendary players, and they only achieved this with the Demon-Slaying Sword that could specifically restrain the Final Ghost Mother.
This is also the reason why Marvin is not optimistic about the legendary team of Rosen Fortress Group.
In his opinion, although the legends in the Underdark are generally stronger than the legends on the surface, there is still a big gap between them and the real master players in the game of his previous life.
But no matter what, he will give it a try.
…
Passing through the dark tunnel, Marvin soon arrived at the Quiet Valley.
This valley is only a few thousand meters away from the patio area next door. The snake witch had attacked here once before, and after suffering a loss, no one has ever set foot here since then.
Marvin stood at the entrance of the valley for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then strode in.
I haven't heard that the hermit has any quirks, except that he doesn't like to see people. It shouldn't be a problem for him to go in by himself, right?
Who knew that just as he took a step inside, a huge toad jumped out from the signpost and said in a clumsy common language:
"No idle people allowed."
Marvin smiled and said, "I'm here to see Mr. Hermit."
Toad gave him a very human look: "He doesn't see anyone."
"I need to borrow something from him." Marvin explained to himself, while secretly glancing into the depths of the valley .
Unfortunately, the quiet valley was peculiar. There was no fog, but there was a thick layer of soil particles suspended in the air, obstructing Marvin's vision.
"He doesn't know you." Toad's tone was very stiff. "This is private land, please don't snoop. It's not good for you, sir."
"I'm not being unreasonable." Marvin said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Hermit should be keeping an eye on the situation of the Everfreeze Spring all the time. So what about now? What did he see?"
The toad fell silent.
After a long while, a slightly tired voice came from the depths of the valley:
“I saw the destruction.”
…
Deep in the valley, next to a simple wooden house, the legendary hermit who was elusive appeared in front of Marvin.
This surprised him a little.
But soon, he understood why the hermit was willing to meet him.
Players from previous lives couldn’t see him because in the eyes of the hermit, they were all ordinary.
But Marvin was different.
The hermit revealed the secret in one sentence: "You are just like me, not from this world."
Ma Wen was slightly stunned.
He didn't understand how the middle-aged man in front of him, who was leaning on two crutches, could tell that he was a time traveler, but when he thought that the other party was not from Fenan, he felt relieved.
"This isn't a very important matter." Marvin said seriously, "Mr. Hermit, the seal of the Everfreeze Spring has loosened more than ever before..."
"Yes, because your God chose to destroy the order that he had worked so hard to establish."
The hermit's eyes were dark, and his words were full of sarcasm: "I have seen the destruction."
"The tragedy that happened in my hometown will happen again here."
