Night Ranger

The saint came from the desert, followed by two silent Bai people.

Scimitar warrior.

The machete skills of the Bai people are well known throughout the continent. The scimitar warrior is also one of the characteristic professions of the Bai people, just like the gunners of the Sha people.

The two scimitar warriors each grabbed a person.

Looks like a prisoner.

They were physically strong, but at this time they were covered with cuts and bruises, and their mouths were sealed with tape.

The saint stopped outside Kasamuel, and she looked at the crowd. At the same time, the guards guarding Kasamuel also came up.

"I have found the murderer who hunted the white deer, and it is these two adventurers."

"In order to severely punish this matter, I will execute these two people in front of all outsiders."

The guards nodded.

So everyone immediately stepped aside.

In the small town, there were also many people watching.

Marvin instinctively felt that something was wrong.

He took Isabel's little hand, stepped back gently, and hid in a place where the saintess couldn't see her.

This saint gave him a strange feeling.

Logically speaking, the saintess of the Bai people is used to serve the Holy Spirit White Deer. She rarely appears in the public eye, and more often, it is the priests of the Bai people who come forward.

Even if things get so big, there's no need to come forward in person, right?

While Marvin hesitated, cheers came from the crowd.

Obviously, those two strong guys have been beheaded for public display.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The anger of the Bai people was vented. Under the suggestion of the saint, Kasamuel temporarily lifted the state of martial law.

Everyone lined up and began to enter the town one after another.

And the saint herself. But he glanced at the crowd.

Then she took small steps, entered the town, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

...

For travelers passing by, what just happened may be just a small episode.

But for Marvin, this is a big deal.

Someone hunted and killed the White Deer, which means that the White Deer Cave is about to open, do you want to get involved?

In case someone takes advantage of it. It would be extremely unlucky to be regarded as the murderer by the Holy Spirit White Deer—just in case. What if he sneaks in first to get the treasure while the White Deer of the Holy Spirit is confronting the real murderer?

To be honest, it is a lie that Marvin is not moved, but he is still calculating the benefits and risks of this matter.

"Forget it. This matter feels a bit weird. Let's get the business done first."

Marvin didn't hesitate any longer, and after the saint's back disappeared from everyone's sight, he started queuing up to enter the town.

...

Kasamuel, the brightest pearl in the Desert of Sages.

There are the most unique buildings of the Bai people here, and the huts specially designed for wind and sand look so unique, adding an exotic style.

Every place in Feinan has its own customs, even though they all belong to the south. But the style of the desert is very different from that of the east coast.

The women here wear veils and wrap themselves tightly. This has always been the custom of the Bai people.

But they don't reject outsiders' exotic clothes, Kasamuel is a fairly inclusive town. Unlike some extreme places in the Sage Desert, outsiders are regarded as demons.

Marvin took Isabel to Shuttle in Casamuel, and the two first replenished some food and water.

After walking in the desert for so many days, the little girl was indeed exhausted, so he gave her a day's rest.

Early the next morning, Marvin took Isabel with him. Came to an alley in the west of the town.

At the end of the alley is a small workshop. It looks like it's made of some handicraft items.

The owner of the workshop is a one-eyed middle-aged man, and everyone calls him One-eyed Bird.

"Buy a white deer clay pot."

The middle-aged man glanced at the two guests who entered the door, and shouted as usual.

The whole house is filled with all kinds of clay pots.

Isabel was attracted immediately.

There are various styles of white deer on the clay pots, and the patterns are also colorful. This kind of artwork is rare on the East Coast. Usually can be used to store water, of course, the ornamental value is higher.

"do you like it?"

Marvin saw the curiosity and longing in the little girl's eyes for the first time.

"Pick one if you like."

One-eyed Bird said lightly: "A clay pot, a wizard gold coin."

Isabel's eyes widened suddenly. She started shaking her head vigorously.

As a girl from a poor family, of course she knows what a wizard gold coin is?

Just to buy a nice clay pot?

She doesn't think it's worth it.

However, to her surprise, Marvin took out a wizard gold coin without hesitation and handed it over.

"Choose one." Marvin blinked at her: "This is not just buying clay pots, it's also part of the tuition fee."

Hearing this, the one-eyed Byrd suddenly raised his head and looked at Isabel seriously.

The little girl looked at Marvin in some confusion, and finally nodded emphatically.

Now that Lord Marvin has already paid, she has to pick the best one.

So she started from the first jar she saw when she entered the door, and picked one by one. She acted very seriously, comparing every clay pot, and finally it took a long time to pick out the one she liked the most.

This process took more than twenty minutes.

During this period, neither Marvin nor the one-eyed shopkeeper said a word.

Isabelle carefully held the clay pot, on which was a drawing of a leaping white stag.

"That's all?" Marvin patted her head.

The little girl nodded. There was excitement in her eyes.

It was the first time someone gave her such a beautiful gift when she grew up so big.

"Keep it well." Marvin said lightly, "Maybe we won't see each other for a long time."

"A lot of things are coming. You have to face it alone. Are you confident?"

Isabel nodded vigorously.

In fact, Marvin consulted her opinion long before departure.

And at this time. One-eyed Byrd finally spoke:

"It's a cruel thing to send such a young girl to the Valley of Shadows."

"There is never a shortage of children her age in Shadow Valley, is there?" Marvin looked at him as well.

"I need to see the league's license," Bird said dryly.

Marvin quietly showed his identity card.

"Baron Marvin of the White River Valley, so it's you."

"Your reputation has been spreading around the desert lately."

"I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought."

Bird glanced at Marvin with a look of surprise.

Marvin was silent. His reputation has risen too much, and the matter of borrowing money to open up the wilderness is even more eye-catching.

Originally, the status of aristocrats made it easy for people to spread their deeds. Now Marvin is basically a household name on the east coast.

Many teenagers look to Marvin as a role model. I hope that I can work hard to practice martial arts and join the army of pioneering the wilderness.

Even if he can't become a new nobleman, at least he can become a feudal knight.

It is said that the rewards distributed to Marvin by the alliance this time not only include his own viscount title. It also includes the right to canonize retainers once.

Qualifications for at least two feudal knights.

However, in this battle of opening up the wilderness, Marvin didn't rely too much on anyone, so it was difficult to decide who to be canonized for a while, so he simply shelved it.

...

After the brief negotiation between the two parties, Marvin completed the initial formalities for Isabel.

Next, go to Shadow Valley.

There is no need for Marvin to worry about this aspect. One-eyed Byrd, as the Assassin League's connector in Kasamuel, naturally has his way.

Soon, Byrd closed the workshop. Two camels were pulled out from the backyard, and they left Casamuel with Marvin and Isabel.

The three rode on camels and traveled westward. Soon, continuous mountains appeared in the distance.

These mountains lie in the center of the Sage Desert, making the terrain of this area even more complicated.

There is little vegetation on the mountains, and they are also barren.

Two hours later, a group of three stood at the entrance of a valley.

Shadow Valley.

The base camp of the Assassin League.

"Let's go." Bird mumbled, and rode in on the camel first.

Marvin and Isabel followed closely behind.

in the valley. After Bird showed his pass, he was let go by two men in black.

They went all the way into the valley. The scenery on both sides became beautiful and colorful.

They saw countless children fighting each other on the scorching sand, and the fighting was quite tragic.

Each of them brandished a dagger.

In the end, in a group of people, only one child can win. The rest of the people died under the dagger.

These are the entry tests for Assassin apprentices.

That's how he came here at the beginning.

As an affiliated organization of the Southern Wizarding Union, the League of Assassins is a resort for training assassins. This place is an assassin's paradise, no matter what you want to advance, it can satisfy you.

Phantom Assassin, Ace Assassin, Blood Assassin... Many advanced categories can be completed here.

At the beginning, Marvin was also a Phantom Assassin who advanced here, and then finally embarked on the road of mastering the dark night.

A group of three people finally stopped in front of a round arched building.

"Go in, I'll take her to go through the formalities."

"Since she is the candidate recommended by the nobles of the alliance, then she is exempted from the initial test and can directly become an apprentice assassin."

"But I don't guarantee that she will survive."

Bird glanced at Isabel who was holding the clay pot, and said so.

Marvin nodded.

"You can leave. Shadow Valley doesn't welcome outsiders." Bird said to Marvin: "If she dies, we will notify you."

"If not, then tomorrow and today, you can come and see her once."

Marvin smiled: "We all know that there is another situation."

Bird glanced at Marvin in surprise, and muttered, "It's true... If she can graduate early, it will be a different situation."

"You go, the guards will get impatient."

Who knew that at this moment, Marvin smiled lightly and shook his head:

"Sending her here wasn't the only reason I came to Shadowdale."

"I want to participate in the [Assassin King] challenge."

Before the words fell, everyone around looked over in amazement!
