Night Ranger

In the dark night, the head of the big devil with three eyes smiled so strangely.

Ma Wen gritted his teeth and closed his eyes suddenly. The next second, he opened his eyes and found that the other party had disappeared!

"Or let him escape?"

Marvin silently checked the data records.

Sure enough, the moment the head of the great devil appeared, he had an instinctive reaction—this was most likely an illusion!

The Will roll on the data log indicates this.

This illusion is similar to the one my grandfather set up in the secret room of the study. It's just that in terms of strength, the illusion that the enemy hastily used is not as powerful as the one solidified in the secret room. That's why Marvin was easily exempted.

However, this spell finally bought time for the other party to escape.

Although he couldn't see through the opponent's strength, Marvin could feel that the opponent was not his opponent.

This may have something to do with his form of existence.

Marvin had a feeling in his heart that the other party was not actually an entity.

It is possible that it is just an existence similar to wraiths.

He exudes a powerful force, but it seems to be suppressed by a stronger force.

This made Marvin very puzzled.

But no matter what, he turned on the night tracking again and couldn't find the old man in black.

At the moment, he searched in situ for a while, and could only choose to return by the same way.

Passing the Wolf Man Valley, without hesitation, Marvin spent half an hour bloodbathing the last remaining Wolf Man.

His methods are very cruel. It can be said that they cut the weeds and wiped out the roots, even the youngest wolf man cub was not spared.

Jackals are cruel by nature, since the two sides have formed such an enmity. Even if they can no longer pose too many threats to the White River Valley, they may still harm the people in the territory.

Marvin's kindness had its limits. He's not that kind of saint after all.

In a sense, jackals are also a type of intelligent life in Feinan Continent, and they only survive and fight for the reproduction of the race.

But this world is so cruel.

Marvin wanted to open up the wilderness, and sooner or later all these monsters would be wiped out.

He will not leave any hidden dangers for himself, because he wants to ensure that the place he guards and the people who need to be guarded. No harm.

For this reason, even to the end. There was blood on his hands, and he didn't care.

...

After breaking through the small valley, there is a section of undulating hills, and after passing through a section of sparse woods. A large open space appeared in front of Marvin.

In the distance, the familiar Baihe River flows slowly, and a castle is faintly visible on a high mountain.

The White River Valley has finally arrived.

Marvin quickened his pace and returned to the territory soon.

However, to his surprise, the territory at this time was much more lively than he had imagined!

More than 300 low-level adventurers gathered loosely here. They all came from Jewel Bay.

Less than one tenth of them were on Marvin's recruitment list.

The rest of the people came to join in the fun by themselves, to see if they could pick up a bargain.

So many adventurers. Such a small place as the White River Valley cannot accommodate it.

Fortunately, there was enough food in the territory, the chefs worked overtime overnight, and a piece of freshly baked bread was quickly sold out.

Except for the adventurers on Marvin's recruitment list who are eligible to live in a special place outside the castle, the rest of them set up a tent beside the White River at the foot of the mountain.

Ma Wenwen stipulated that these adventurers are not allowed to disturb the lives of ordinary residents. Otherwise, you will be punished severely.

Now it seems that this group of people is quite safe.

It's just watching them make a fuss unscrupulously beside the Baihe River. Marvin couldn't help but frowned.

This group of people, if you don't find something for them to do, sooner or later something will happen to their energy.

The people of Baihe have never seen so many powerful adventurers. Fortunately, there are guards patrolling from time to time, which makes them feel at ease.

...

It was already noon when Marvin returned to the castle. Anna and Pooh were very pleasantly surprised to see Marvin return.

The two began to complain to Marvin at the same time.

There is only one thing to complain about, that is, this group of adventurers is too difficult to manage!

"Because the adventurers who enlisted only obey the orders of the initiators of the Wilderness Exploration Territory, we can't control them." Anna spread her hands helplessly.

"Several irascible adventurers have been fighting and making trouble, although they were stopped by me and Andre. However, several innocent farmers were affected. For this reason, I drove them all to the edge of the White River .”

"But they're still running amok."

"A big incident happened yesterday. A drunken adventurer tried to rape a girl in the territory. Fortunately, Lord Constantine shot him and killed him directly."

"When those people learned that there was still a legend in our territory, they restrained themselves a little bit."

Pooh added: "But they're still a nuisance, they defecate everywhere, it's very uncivilized."

After hearing this, Marvin rubbed his temples.

These things were already in his expectation.

Anna and Pooh said one sentence to the left and one sentence to the right, and he almost figured out the current situation in the White River Valley.

...

Wars are indeed expensive jobs.

In order to recruit the second-tier adventurers on the list, the 200 wizard gold coins that Marvin got from Black Jack were almost exhausted.

Not to mention that so many adventurers gathered in the White River Valley, once their food, drink and Lazard were not supplied, problems would arise.

The adventurer on the list, Marvin, promised to supply food. But even if they want to buy anything that is not on the list, they still need the production capacity in the White River Valley.

Fortunately, at this time, the supplies from River Beach City finally arrived.

Under Anna's proper arrangements, the basic living needs of the hundreds of extra people can barely be met.

Under the witness of Hathaway. The deal between Ma Wen and Madeline was completed. River Beach City was originally a part of Marvin's power in the future, and now Marvin has no psychological burden at all to send some supplies here.

"Madeline is also cruel enough. For the sake of legend, she gave up everything."

"But after she is promoted to legend, everything will be hard to say."

Marvin knew that woman's temperament well.

After Madeline was promoted to legend, her law contract would be invalid. When the time comes, God knows whether she will hand over River Beach City to Marvin as promised.

But this time, the supplies she sent over made Marvin quite satisfied.

This batch of supplies not only included food and the most scarce drinks in the White River Valley, but also some simple clothes and weapons eliminated by the River Beach City patrol team.

Don't underestimate these weapons, they are all military weapons.

With a little maintenance, the sharpness is much better than that used by ordinary adventurers.

besides. She also sent a batch of fresh fruits and vegetables, which were given to Marvin for free.

And this is just the first batch of supplies. The second batch of supplies is still on the way.

Madeline promised that during the period of opening up the wilderness, the river beach city would become the strongest backing of the White River Valley.

This also satisfied Ma Wen a lot.

At least that page of the Book of the Naaru wasn't taken for nothing.

On the third page of the Book of Naaru, Marvin himself did not dare to take the risk of reading it. He will not touch it until he is promoted to legend.

This chapter [Destruction] can completely distort a person's personality, or completely drive him crazy.

The Sleeping Lich of the Crimson Monastery is an example.

So he is actually not worried about Madeline now, what he is worried about is Hathaway.

Although the awakened ones are wise, many people throughout the ages have been tortured to death by the book of Naaru, and even a god was deceived to death.

It shows how scary this book is.

Hathaway was promoted to legend by relying on the sixth page of the Book of Naaru [New Life]. Marvin was afraid that she would become dependent on the Book of Naaru.

But the news from that second-order wizard group is. Lady Hathaway seems to be busy with the development of a new spell recently, and has no time to take care of other things.

This made Marvin feel a little more at ease.

For this woman with a strong personality, Marvin couldn't figure it out. this time. He could only hope she was wise enough to read the Book of the Naaru.

...

"By the way, those adventurers can't stay still for the past few days. They have been asking when they will start to open up the wilderness."

Anna worried: "I'm afraid that if this continues, there may be riots in the territory at any time."

"Although Lord Constantine is here, there may be personal injuries, which is not worth it."

Marvin nodded.

He thought for a while. Immediately said decisively: "Since these people have nothing to do, let them get ready."

"They want war. Give them war."

...

On a hot afternoon, idle adventurers dived shirtless in the White River.

However, at this time, an important news suddenly spread throughout the White River Valley.

A war mobilization order signed by Mr. Marvin himself has been issued!

A guard knight took the mobilization order and read out Lord Marvin's orders at places where adventurers gather in various places in the territory!

From now on, war mobilization begins!

Just at an assembly point in the east of the White River Valley, a temporary camp was built there.

After a week, all armies will be assembled. All those who want to participate in this battle and share the spoils must participate in the construction of the temporary camp.

Lady Anna is personally responsible for the construction of the temporary camp, and everyone must register.

All of a sudden, the side of the Baihe River was completely boiling!

Why did they rush all the way to the White River Valley? It was war!

And after the war, the countless treasures in the ogre's lair, as well as the legendary gold mine!

...

As the sun set, most of the adventurers had already moved their positions under the mobilization order for war.

They went to the intersection of the woodland and the mountain designated by Ma Wen, and built a temporary camp under the command of the deputy captain of the White River Valley Guard, Gelu.

And in the castle in the White River Valley, a somewhat different dinner kicked off.

"Birthday?"

Marvin looked at Anna and Pooh with some astonishment. Constantine, the old blacksmith Sean and his daughter Jane, the necromancer Federer, the amnesiac alchemist and others were also present.

"Yes? Have you forgotten?"

Anna looked at Marvin with some distress: "Today is your birthday."

Marvin was stunned.

August 14th, the last day of Yuyu.

Tonight, Pisces will rule Feinan's most central horoscope.

Marvin was a little moved. Perhaps in the entire White River Valley, only Anna and Pooh remembered his birthday.

Needless to say, Pooh, Anna, this woman who has been silently supporting the White River Valley behind him, Marvin is very grateful.

The housekeeper did everything she could, even sacrificing her personal strength, to manage the territory for Marvin.

She is doing very well.

"Thank you." Marvin said sincerely.

A beautiful cake was served.

"Jane did it herself." Anna said softly.

Jane smiled slightly: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the castle."

Marvin nodded slightly to express his thanks.

Feinan's birthday is a very important day.

Because the fate palace that dominates you will respond to your prayers on this day. Although such prayers may not have much effect, if you are lucky, you can still get blessings from your own constellation.

"Pray." Constantine said with a smile: "With your kid's luck, maybe you can really pray for something."

Ma Wen lowered his head and silently prayed according to Feinan's custom.

The wish he made was very simple, that is, he hoped that the people around him would be happy and safe.

"Well, as in previous years, Yuyu still didn't respond to me..."

Half a minute later, Marvin gave a wry smile.

Everyone laughed.

This is actually normal. Only a very small number of people are likely to get the response of the constellation.

Who knew that at this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up in the hall!
