Night Ranger

Volume 1 The Noble Who Lost His Territory Chapter 18 The Headless Girl

Good luck.

In the first room, there is a treasure chest.

Although these treasure chests look old, the contents rarely lose their usefulness due to the passage of time.

Marvin bent down and shook the wooden box slightly.

He didn't have the two skills of [Remove Traps] and [Unlock], so everything can only be judged based on his experience.

Dispelling traps is a ranger's class skill, and it is very important in team battles—especially in dungeons. But Marvin is not prepared to develop in this area, and it is not worthwhile to waste precious skill points in this area. Lockpicking is a thief's job skill. Ranger and thief are both [Wanderer] professions. You can learn [Lockpicking] across occupations, but it needs to consume double the skill points, which is even more uneconomical for Marvin.

In the face of ordinary treasure chests, low-level lockpicking scrolls can solve the problem. Problems that can be solved with money, why use skill points?

There was a slight sound from inside the wooden box.

Marvin listened attentively.

"There should be no trap."

"Just a normal lock."

He tore open an ordinary lockpicking scroll and opened the copper lock.

Then, based on the principle of being cautious, he still used the branches he carried with him to open the wooden box.

Whoosh!

A dart flew out of the wooden box and was nailed to the mud wall with a bang.

Marvin frowned slightly.

My own judgment will also fail. Sure enough, without some [Listening] skills, is it difficult to detect these tricky little traps simply by hearing?

Thankfully I was careful enough.

He leaned over and checked the dart.

The edge of the dart is dark green, obviously poisoned. He knew this kind of darts. On the eastern sea islands, there was a special profession—ninja. One of their signature weapons was this kind of darts.

"So, this is a treasure chest left by a ninja?"

Marvin took out the contents of the box, and there was only a thin book inside. There are a few words written in common language on it.

"Introduction to Hidden Weapons for Beginners".

"It's actually a skill book!"

"And it's also a ninja's skill book."

Marvin's eyelids twitched, skill books are always things that can be encountered but not sought after. In his previous life, as a master of the night, he fought against some ninjas.

Although those players ultimately held grudges in his hands, Marvin was still deeply impressed by the endless hidden weapons of the ninjas.

This "Introduction to Hidden Weapons for Beginners", after studying, you can master one to three methods of using hidden weapons for beginners.

The study of skill books is only related to the personal qualities of the learners, and has no requirements on their occupations.

For example, in theory, a berserker picked up a "Hand of Flame" skill book, if he is smart enough and has a certain foundation in spells, he can learn this witchcraft - but in fact, you I all know that with the mind of a berserker, basically he has nothing to do with spells.

But mastering this kind of thing with hidden weapons has relatively high requirements for agility. Because it requires a lot of control over every part of the body. It is difficult for ordinary people to get started for a while.

But for Marvin, none of this is a problem.

His body control is super strong, and it shouldn't take too long to learn hidden weapons.

He put away this precious skill book, and there was nothing else in the box.

So he started stealth again and left the room.

Who knew that at this moment, in his peripheral vision, a faint white shadow suddenly flew by!

What the hell!

Marvin was startled, and when he took a closer look, the place was empty and there was nothing there.

hallucination?

Marvin got serious.

He checked the combat records and personal attributes again, but found nothing.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the moonlight was not so bright under the influence of the mist.

He has no darkvision and is limited in what he can see. But the same is true for those scarlet waiters. Candles were lit in their rooms, which brought great convenience to Marvin's assassination.

That white shadow... what is it?

Marvin felt a little fuzzy in his heart. He has never experienced anything like it.

There is something quirky about this place. Looks like a quick fix.

Ma Wen reminded himself that he must keep a vigilance at all times, and then he came to the door of the second room.

The room was pitch black, and there should be no scarlet attendant.

He pushed open the door and got in.

...

There are eighteen rooms in total. There are ten scarlet waiters in total.

It took Marvin almost two hours to clear the eighteen rooms.

This allowed him to gain 90 killing experience points and six treasure chests. Among the six treasure chests, only one is a magic lock, and the rest are all ordinary locks.

In addition to the hidden weapon skill book, the remaining four ordinary treasure chests gave him a bag of gold bars, a necklace, a bottle of unknown potion, and an ancient book that recorded the history of the Scarlet Monastery.

Marvin had obtained this ancient book in his previous life. This book seemed ordinary, but it actually contained a huge secret of Scarlet Monastery.

It's just that this secret, like the sleeping lich, requires a certain amount of strength to explore. Ma Wen carefully put away the ancient books.

The purity of gold bars is quite high, and it can be exchanged for a fortune in any city. For things like money, the more the better.

This bottle of potion, like the azure blue gem, is something that needs to be identified. Marvin is not a pharmacist, so naturally there is no way to identify it.

The only thing that can be used immediately is the necklace:

【Trace of the Moon (Necklace)】

Quality: shimmer

Effect: Moonlight vision +50

——May Vanya's gaze accompany you on your journey

Requirements: Intelligence 14

...

Vanya is the name of the moon god.

Marvin just met the intelligence requirement of 14 points, so he put on the necklace without hesitation.

【You wear the Scar of the Moon...】

[Moonlight vision +50...]

Two points of light flashed in Marvin's eyes. Wherever the dim moonlight reached, Marvin could see everything clearly!

This is the benefit of the extra 50 points of moonlight vision!

There are many types of vision, the most common being daylight vision—that is, ordinary vision. Marvin's race is human, and his daylight vision is also a mediocre 100 points.

This means that in a flat place, under the premise of sufficient sunlight, Marvin can distinguish creatures within a range of 1,000 meters—roughly, it is to distinguish between people or animals.

Ranger has a powerful skill called [Extra-distance Vision], which allows Ranger to see farther than humans can.

However, this skill is limited to daylight vision.

And corresponding to daylight vision, there are moonlight vision and dark vision. In these two respects, humans, a mediocre race, don't have any bonuses. Human moonlight vision is 10 o'clock, and dark vision is about 1 o'clock. Some with poor eyesight have almost 0 dark vision.

The scope of application of moonlight vision is relatively narrow, but as long as there is moonlight, it can play a role.

All in all, Marvin is very satisfied with the effect of this shimmer necklace.

At least it will be much more convenient to walk on a moonlit night in the future.

...

In front of Marvin was the last magically locked treasure chest.

This magic lock chest is a bit tricky. Because he had tried twice just now, using two magic locks to open the scroll, but both failed.

There is a certain probability of failure to open the lock with the lock-picking scroll. In this case, it is easier to be reflected in the magic lock.

He still has two scrolls to open the magic lock in his hand, but the problem is that a magic lock can only be opened three times with the scroll.

If it still fails the third time, then the scroll will be invalid for the box.

Marvin had a headache.

Should I gamble on my luck again now, or take the box back and buy a more advanced magic lock to open the scroll?

"Forget it, just to be on the safe side, take the box back."

This box is not big, it can barely fit inside the Void Conch.

But when he was about to stuff the box into the void conch, he was shocked to find that he couldn't stuff it in no matter what!

"Spatial exclusion!?"

"What exactly is in this box? Objects that repel space?"

"Or does the box itself have the property of repelling space items?"

This is a good time, since there is no way to take the box back, Marvin can only bet one last time.

After tearing off the last magic lock to open the scroll, he waited quietly for the result.

The light blue magic key was automatically inserted into the lock, and there was a sudden click.

"Successful?"

Marvin was slightly overjoyed.

Who knew that the next second, the key would suddenly collapse automatically!

The magic lock trembled and returned to calm.

Still can't open it?

Marvin was a little depressed. There must be something good in this box, but I can't get it out, it's really troublesome.

A gust of wind blew by.

Ma Wen felt a chill in his heart.

"It's that white shadow again!"

"It's been following me!"

Marvin turned around abruptly, quietly holding the machete in his hand!

Only this time, what he saw was no longer an empty space, but a violent glare!

【Strong Light Art】!

"Dirty trick!"

Marvin closed his eyes the first time the light appeared, his fighting instinct helped him make the most correct choice!

Instead of retreating, he charged forward with two knives in hand!

The scimitar had already been wiped with holy water, no matter what kind of monster it was, it couldn't resist it!

"etc……"

"I do not want to hurt you."

A timid voice sounded: "Can you keep your eyes closed? I don't want you to see me like I am now."

"I don't want anyone to see me the way I am now."

Marvin's movements froze!

This is clearly a girl's voice!

"Don't open your eyes!"

Marvin opened his eyes, and a white shadow swept away immediately.

"You can't see me, you'll be damned!"

The girl's voice became urgent.

Ma Wen held the scimitar tightly and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

His palms were slightly sweaty.

This was the first time he encountered such a weird thing. When I came to the Scarlet Monastery before, there seemed to be no such incidents?

Is it an event that can only be triggered by people entering the monastery for the first time?

"My name is Varisa."

The voice came from behind Marvin: "They call me...the headless girl."

The headless girl... Valisa? !

Marvin seemed to remember something.
