Night Ranger

Holding these thin parchments in his hand, Marvin was slightly moved.

He didn't know the language on these parchments, but he could tell them apart.

This is the language of the ancient goblins. Before the fall of the goblins, this race also created a very brilliant civilization. Their attainments in engineering are comparable to those of gnomes.

Marvin didn't know much about how the ancient goblins fell, but he had learned that the ancient goblins were good at engineering.

"It seems that what is recorded on these parchments is the engineering knowledge of ancient goblins."

"I don't have a part-time engineer. In terms of noble knowledge, I don't seem to be able to read it."

"But this thing must be kept well, it may come in handy in the future."

Marvin didn't understand the writing on it, but he could understand the pattern.

On the parchment, there was a lifelike pattern attached. If he guessed correctly, it should be a very famous creature in engineering - a mechanical gargoyle.

It seems that this treasure chest was not dug out by these goblins, maybe it was something they passed down from generation to generation.

Marvin put away the parchment and the gemstone of unknown material.

There are many kinds of azure blue gemstones. He is a rookie in the two fields of [geology] and [gem identification], and he basically doesn't know the origin of this gemstone.

This requires finding a professional gem appraiser.

However, the gems that can be put together with the blueprints for the manufacture of mechanical gargoyles are not that bad.

...

With ancient goblin parchment out of thin air, this low, dank goblin cave doesn't seem so filthy anymore.

Marvin walked happily down the path.

Soon, he groped to the end.

Push away a stone, and a small platform appears in front of you.

It was dusk at this time, there was a sunset glow in the distance, and a mist rose in the valley.

Marvin stood short on the platform and looked down.

I saw that the gate of the monastery was not far away. The two painful monks guarded the door, but they knew nothing about what was going on inside.

And the nearest scarlet waiters are hiding in the room behind the ghost corridor to pray. If there is no accident, they seldom come outside.

As for the executors of the demon god, these monsters are very few in the entire monastery, and the scarlet monastery occupies a huge area. Marvin thought to himself that his luck would not be so bad that he bumped into a executor of the demon god, right?

On one side of the little platform grew a small tree, its roots deep in the rocks.

Marvin tied one end of the Ruyi rope to the tree, and the other end to his waist.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he held onto the rope tightly and carefully lowered himself down bit by bit.

In the mist, Marvin's light figure slowly descended on the stone wall.

Three minutes later, his feet hit the bottom.

"Safe landing."

He looked around, but there was no trace of the demon god's executor.

After letting go of the rope and chanting a few incantations, the Ruyi rope rolled up automatically, so that no traces would be left.

When Marvin wants to go back, he just needs to go back to the spot, chant the spell in a low voice, and the rope will hang down again.

This is what high elves do. Only they can create such dexterous equipment.

While it was still dark, Marvin was about to enter the ghost corridor and arrive at the first hall.

Who knew that at this moment, deep in the valley, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes!

"not good!"

"It's the executor of the demon god!"

"It's getting closer!"

Ma Wen's heart tightened, and he almost instinctively stuck to the mountain wall. His body quickly moved a few steps and found a depression.

hide!

[Hiding (41+9) skill activated successfully! 】

[Field effects are being added...]

[Environmental (mountain wall, fog) effects are being added...]

...

The tall armored knight rode a terrifying war horse to the open space outside the ghost corridor.

It is only a dozen yards away from the gate.

Marvin gripped the scimitar tightly, his nerves tensed.

This kind of demon god executor, he can't beat it at all!

The executor of the demon god was nearly two meters tall, riding a terrifying war horse, Ma Wen might not even be able to reach his waist!

Not to mention that he is wearing heavy armor, which is the nemesis of the ranger class.

His scimitar was cut on armor of this strength, and it was estimated that it would roll the blade directly. As for the key...

It's a pity that, as an undead creature that has already died once, the demon god's executor is not fatal.

Although this thing is only at level 2, Marvin thought to himself that even if he was a Phantom Assassin at the peak of level 2, he would have to scratch his head when he met him.

The defense and vitality are both outrageously high.

Someone might think of holy water. It's a pity that there is ordinary holy water in Marvin's Void Conch, but the concentration is seriously insufficient.

The holy water sold by the Church of the God of Silver was seriously watered down. The sacred power contained in it is probably less than one hundred thousandth.

It is enough to use it to eliminate zombies, but as for using it to deal with demon god executors - this is as ridiculous as trying to kill a vicious dog with toilet water!

Now Marvin can only pray that his hiding skills will be effective!

The demon god executor passed by Marvin quickly and paused suddenly.

Marvin's heart sank.

Who knew that at this time, a few weird and ugly words suddenly popped out of the mouth of the demon god executor.

Not long after, the door of the monastery, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened.

The executor of the demon god pulled the reins and rushed out on the horse without looking back.

The two pained monks were expressionless, and the door was closed again.

There was a cloud of dust.

...

"Fortunately, when I came down, I didn't meet the demon god executor!"

Three minutes later, the sweaty Marvin didn't dare to delay, and quickly stepped into the ghost corridor.

This time, it was his hiding skills that saved him. Perhaps the demon god executor didn't expect that there would still be people sneaking in under the strict guard of the two painful monks.

And when it is suspended in mid-air, there is no way to hide!

Let's get down to business!

The executor of the demon god should have gone out to carry out the task. Their leader is the [Avenger] Fagan who occupies the third hall, an ambitious guy who was a follower of the sleeping Lich a long time ago, and later became interested in that godhead.

In short, he is a tricky guy. At present, Marvin has no plans to have tea and chat with Fei Gen.

When he came this time, his main target was the seventeen rooms between the first hall and the ghost corridor.

There may be monstrous scarlet attendants in these chambers, not undead but mortals stripped of their minds by the executors of the fae gods. Killing them, the experience is pitiful, and there will be no benefit.

But there are many treasure chests in the room, and Marvin's target is them.

In the silent ghost corridor, Marvin started to sneak, walking cautiously.

Although Scarlet Monastery is not a dungeon, the probability of traps is low, but the work he is doing now is very dangerous, so you must be careful.

If any trap is triggered, something bad will happen. Especially alarm traps.

On both sides of the ghost corridor, there are oil paintings hanging.

All portraits.

There are knights, nobles, wizards, and scholars...

These people all had smiles on their faces, but everyone was smiling very strangely.

If you stare at a painting for a long time, it's easy to get hairy all over your body.

Their eyes seem to be staring at you all the time. Everyone's smile has that kind of evil in their bones.

These oil paintings have problems.

But Marvin didn't delve into it. He has been to the Scarlet Monastery many times. As long as he doesn't pay attention to them, nothing will happen.

He walked along the ghost corridor for a while, and a fork appeared in front of him.

There are three paths in total.

There are exactly the same rooms on the side of the road, a total of six rows and eighteen rooms.

And the end of the three roads is the first hall.

"The destination has arrived."

Marvin leaned to the left. He was going to start cleaning from the row on the left, searching for treasure chests room by room.

There is a certain probability that shimmering items will appear in these treasure chests. In his previous life, Marvin got a shimmering dagger here. The dagger worked well and spent a long time with him.

At this moment, in his peripheral vision, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a painting!

This oil painting was very special, and Marvin was attracted immediately.

"Huh? Why didn't I see this painting in my previous life?"

Marvin looked at the last oil painting on the left hand side of the ghost corridor with some surprise.

It depicts a young girl with wheat-like hair and a bright smile.

Unlike the characters on other oil paintings, her smile is very sincere.

"Strange."

This was the first time that there was a discrepancy between this world and the game world in Marvin's memory.

He couldn't help leaning over and glanced at the description of the oil painting.

But the name of the painting surprised him!

【Headless girl】!

What the hell is this name! ?

The girl in the painting is obviously good!

In Marvin's heart, a strange feeling suddenly spread.

Shocked, he suddenly checked his attribute panel and battle records.

Nothing happened.

"Is it a psychological effect?"

"There is no curse and no will check... Am I becoming less courageous?"

Marvin muttered and didn't stay any longer.

He quickly approached the first room, and gently pushed the wooden door, revealing a corner of the gap.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, he could see a wooden bed in the room, and a numb person was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Scarlet waiter!

Ma Wen kicked the door open, got short, rolled over on the spot, and killed himself by the bed!

The scarlet waiter woke up like a dream, and just as he was about to make a sound, Marvin's scimitar had already slashed at his neck!

no blood. No screaming.

That scarlet waiter just died.

They are soulless puppets, so Ma Wen can only gain a meager 11 points of experience if he kills them.

Worse than the lowest level of thieves or prostitutes.

But there are other compensations in the room.

On the empty bedside, there was a dilapidated wooden box.
