Night Ranger

It was a monster with a human face and a beast body.

It lay quietly on the ground, and its eyes were as big as Marvin's fist. Beside the monster, there is a worn-out iron sword.

Three roads spread slowly behind it.

Every road seems to lead in a different direction.

Marvin took a deep breath.

The road of thorns came here, which is basically the final stage.

Pain and fear are over.

Next is [Choice].

...

"Hi Marvin."

The monster spoke, but its voice was very cold.

It makes people feel cold when they hear it.

Marvin didn't know the name of this monster, but he knew that it was ordered to guard this place.

It is impossible to pass the last section of the Thorn Road without his permission.

So he also walked over and came to the monster: "Hello, sir."

"Sir? I like this name." The monster scratched its back with its dragon-like claws, where two pairs of tough wings were folded.

From the looks of it, this is a pretty strong guy.

"As a night walker, since you have come here, it proves that you have the endurance to fight pain and the willpower to fight fear."

"But it's not that simple to inherit the legacy of the Night King."

"It's well known that in order to get something, you have to give something up."

"Tell me your choice."

The monster's cold tone continued.

It speaks every word. Marvin was cold all over, but he was still slowly approaching.

He walked slowly, with a steady pace.

"Choice? What kind of choice?" Ma Wenming asked knowingly.

In fact, he had seen a similar scene in the video released by a master night walker in his previous life. He also knew the meaning of the three roads behind the monster.

That master stopped here at the beginning. He made a choice and lost it.

Later, many people were discussing what kind of choice should be made, but in Marvin's view, everyone's thinking has actually entered a misunderstanding.

If he is the night walker, or another extremely careful player. Maybe it will be able to handle the task at this stage.

In his previous life, he couldn't try it because he was not a night walker. In this life, he can try to see if his choice is correct.

So he keeps getting closer.

...

The monster's eyes were fixed on Marvin: "I will tell you the meaning of every road behind me."

"You can't go every way, you can only choose one of them."

In the next second, start from the leftmost road. A clear and shocking picture emerged in front of Marvin.

The first road is the road of sages.

The end of this road is the ancient sages. They did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to protect the whole of Feinan.

To embark on this road means to follow in the footsteps of ancient sages and assume the responsibility of protecting the entire Feinan world.

This is a very difficult path!

That's the way the Night King took.

...

"The path of sages. Would he choose that?"

Beside the stove, the two generations of leaders of the Night Walker stared into the distance.

O'Brien couldn't help asking.

They could see Marvin came to the three-way intersection, facing the monster's questioning.

"I don't know." Sean remained expressionless. "But I don't think he'll choose that path."

"This kid is by no means a saint."

O'Brien shrugged: "It's fine not to choose. At the beginning, I chose the path of sages and then failed."

...

"I refuse." Marvin said decisively.

"I have self-knowledge, not a sage."

The monster slowed down. There was a gleam of splendor in his eyes: "Very well, then, let me show you the second way."

The first road disappeared at the end of Marvin's vision.

On the second road, there were many ripples.

The White River Valley, the beach city, and a strange yet familiar new port appeared in Marvin's vision.

He saw the old housekeeper, he saw many residents of the White River Valley, and he saw members of the guard busy.

"This is your domain. This is your subjects."

"You can't protect the whole world, then. It's good to be able to protect one side."

"So this second road is the king's road."

The way of kings.

It means that what you need to protect is not the entire continent, but your own territory.

All subjects are under your protection.

They survive because of you, no matter what kind of disaster they encounter, you must protect them.

This is the responsibility of the king of a country.

Many kings in ancient times have done this before. They may not be called saints, but to the people in their own territory, they are gods.

They are the monarchs who carry a piece of land with their own strength.

Taking this path means that you must commit to guarding your territory for life.

Marvin looked at the picture in front of him quietly.

The voice of the monster sounded in his ears:

"Will you choose the king's way?"

...

"Will he?" O'Brien asked again.

The old blacksmith couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "How do I know?"

"I thought you were smarter than me." O'Brien replied honestly.

The old blacksmith was silent, and after a while, he said, "No."

"Why?" O'Brien looked surprised.

The old blacksmith sneered: "Because he has already made his choice."

...

"I reject!"

Marvin said so.

Then the second road also disappeared before his eyes.

The monster looked at him a little unkindly.

"Oh, young Nightwalker, you are a selfish fellow."

"I'm starting to dislike you."

"But out of duty. I still have to explain the third way to you."

"It seems that you are ready to choose this path. Yes, this path is the easiest, but it is also very dangerous to go on the road alone. Maybe you think you are very powerful, but one day, you will stumble!"

The third way.

Marvin became a powerful master of the night, killing countless people.

He became the strongest in the entire continent, but he can only protect those around him.

Familiar faces passed before his eyes: Anna, Pooh, Hathaway... There was even Laura among them!

These are his closest friends.

The third way is the way of the strong.

Alone. Keep getting stronger and protect a few people.

Maybe one day. You can become a peerless powerhouse, but in the face of disaster, the only thing you can do is to protect yourself and a few others.

Then watched a large number of innocent creatures die wailing.

This is the path of the lonely strong.

...

"It seems that he is going to choose the path of the strong."

O'Brien said with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't this a bit selfish?"

The old blacksmith sighed and said, "Can't you be patient and wait for him to make a decision before talking nonsense?"

O'Brien nodded. Immediately he said in surprise: "What?!"

"He actually refused again?!"

...

In front of the three-way intersection.

Marvin said no for the third time.

This time, he was already very close to the monster. It was so close that even the pores on the monster's body could be seen clearly.

"I reject this path."

He said.

The monster was angry: "No!"

"This is the last stage of the Road of Thorns, you have to make a choice!"

"Tell me, what is your choice, otherwise you will not be able to pass!"

Three paths resurfaced behind him.

Sages, kings and strong men.

However, at this moment, Marvin did something that surprised the old blacksmith and O'Brien who had been peeping!

He rushed up, jumped to the side of the monster, and then pulled out the iron sword.

"What are you doing!" The monster looked panicked.

"I'm telling you my choice!"

Marvin held up his iron sword. He jumped up high, and slammed it hard into the monster's head!

prick!

The blunt looking iron sword sank into the monster's head.

"That's—fuck your mother!"

Accompanied by Marvin's violent outburst, the monster began to howl in pain.

Its terrifying body began to shrink rapidly. Turned into a little phantom. It was only as small as a fist, but it was firmly nailed to the stone by an iron sword.

"I want to go my own way. Even if I have to make a choice, it's not your turn to take care of it."

Marvin let go of his hand and said coldly.

In the next second, a brand new road unfolded in front of Marvin. He directly ignored the phantom who was howling in pain. Walked over quickly.

...

Beside the stove, the old blacksmith and O'Brien were dumbfounded!

"I said. The iron sword has been stuck there for so many years, why no one found it!?"

"This **** is actually a phantom? How did Marvin find out!"

"Is this the right choice?"

Both of them were shocked.

Over the years, no Nightwalker has ever passed the final stage of the Road of Thorns.

Because everyone has made a choice.

But no one made the fourth choice besides the three roads like Marvin did.

Kill the monsters and go your own way.

This is the test that the Night King will leave to future generations!

...

Marvin continued along this road, and soon, a mountain appeared in front of him.

Endless Mountain.

He looked up and saw that the mountain was not steep, but there was no end in sight.

Only by crossing this mountain can one reach the dark sea where the warriors sleep.

Marvin took a deep breath and began to climb the mountain.

This is the first time someone has set foot on this mountain since the King of the Night left the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

Marvin went up step by step. Climbing a mountain is a very hard job, especially an endless mountain.

The strategy he knows actually ends here. Because no one can cross the road of thorns.

After that, he had to rely entirely on himself.

"The Road of Thorns tests endurance, willpower and determination."

"Then what will the Endless Mountain test?"

"It can't really be endurance..."

Marvin climbed for a while, looked up, but still couldn't see the top of the mountain.

He was exhausted.

Gritting his teeth, he climbed up another section, and when his physical strength finally became too much, he planned to take a rest.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that his hands suddenly became extremely rough.

This is not the hand of a fifteen-year-old boy at all.

There was a pool of water just ahead, so Marvin reluctantly walked over and looked inside.

In the pool, a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes was looking at him in horror.
