Night Ranger

Every city has a cemetery.

The tombs of the nobles are gorgeously built, strictly managed, and have special guards. The cemetery for the poor in the north of the city is much more desolate.

The cemeteries for the poor in every city belong to urban public welfare projects, and the officials in charge of this area are rarely free from corruption, so the number of people hired is seriously insufficient.

The poor cemetery has always been quite dilapidated, and it is a gathering place for all kinds of thieves, robbers, and grave robbers.

...

In the middle of the night, the new moon is on the branches.

Marvin and Anna quietly appeared at the southwest entrance of the poor cemetery.

Of course, he didn't come to rob graves. These poor poor people did not live a good life for a few days, and their bodies were often restless after death. Even if Marvin was short of money, he would not set his mind on the corpses of these poor people like those crappy tomb robbers.

He had come to see the keeper of the pauper's cemetery.

That's right, the cemetery of the poor also has a guard, but this guard is hired by the city hall with very little money, and he is only responsible for daily guarding, and he is extremely irresponsible.

Through memory search, Marvin knew that the guard's name was [Hessen], and he was a weird old man.

Marvin remembered the name.

"Not long after the server was opened, the first Tier 2 Elite BOSS that was blown up by someone seems to be named this..."

"The Corpse Snatcher, Hesse. Has been using his status as a cemetery keeper to steal the few residual values ​​​​of the poor. He sold these corpses to the necromancer hiding in the desperate hills north of Riverbank for a small fee. Finally, in a transaction, he got the necromancer's book, and has since become a blasphemer who can summon the dead, a ghoul who is destined to be hated by all righteous gods."

Hesse, the ghoul, was Marvin's target.

If the current historical process is followed, the opening of the server is still half a year later. Maybe the current Hessen has not obtained the secret book of the necromancer, and has evolved into a terrifying second-level magician.

It's worth the gamble.

Marvin silently estimated his own strength. A second-level ranger, but has the experience and memory of the master of the night; a fifth-level half-elf warrior-he asked about Anna's level on the way, and got a result that surprised him.

It turned out that Anna had been a fifth-level half-elf warrior for a long time, because she had been busy with the affairs of the White River Valley, so she didn't have time to return to the place where the half-elf gathered to find qualified instructors to advance to a more powerful second-level profession. Her strength is quite impressive, which is also the reason why Ma Wen can survive till now!

"A fifth-level half-elf warrior has at least 120 points of life, and has a racial trait, a professional specialty and a personal specialty, and quite a few powerful skills. It is simply a super fighter."

Faced with Marvin's inquiry, Anna had no reservations, and told Marvin her characteristics, expertise, and various skills.

Common skills of fighters [Cleave], [Basic Block], [Double Combo], etc., these are very practical skills in battle. Anna's basic skills are quite good.

As for one trait and two specialties, they are also enviable in Marvin's view:

[Racial Trait: Swordsmanship Proficiency]: Your swordsmanship mastery level +1

[Professional Specialty: Toughness]: As long as you do not encounter fatal/disabling damage, the damage effect will not affect your actions.

[Personal expertise: precision]: Your sword is always aimed at the enemy's vitals.

Anna's racial traits are quite rare, and almost only appear in pure blood elves, half elves are very rare, it can be said that her luck is quite good. It is very difficult to improve the level of mastery of swordsmanship, and it requires years of training and accumulation. Without this racial trait, Anna's mastery level of swordsmanship was [Master of Swordsmanship], but with the addition of racial traits, she directly became a terrifying [Master of Swordsmanship].

Marvin knew that even among second-tier professionals, few had such a high level of mastery of swordsmanship. Swordsmanship master means that Anna's swordsmanship is almost invincible in a close confrontation!

The two specialties of [Toughness] and [Precision] are very practical in battle. The former allows people to avoid the impact of pain on continuing to fight, ensuring continuous combat effectiveness and survival rate; while the latter allows her to stab the opponent's fatal or disabled points more easily, resulting in greater lethality.

In any case, the strength of his half-elf housekeeper exceeded Marvin's expectations, which made him more confident about his next actions.

...

In a poor cemetery, in a secluded cabin.

The dim candlelight is accompanied by the trembling sound of creaking wood, and a tall figure is working hard.

It's just that the object of his cultivation is a girl with a pale complexion and no flesh!

The girl's eyes were dull, and pus even flowed from her eye sockets, but the tall figure remained indifferent.

Outside the side window, two figures watched the scene silently.

Even Marvin didn't expect that when he and Anna found the hut where the poor cemetery keeper Hesse lived, this guy was actually raping a corpse.

It's just devoid of conscience!

That girl's body was not decomposed very badly, and she must have died of some kind of disease. In the eyes of the ghoul Hessen, this is undoubtedly the best tool to vent her desire!

boom!

The door of the cabin was kicked open, and the furious Anna directly left Marvin's previous battle plan behind.

She was out of anger.

For this kind of person who blasphemed the dead, she, who has a strong spiritual obsession, would only leave him a way!

That is death!

Anna's footsteps were extremely fast, she rushed over, and chopped down with a sword!

Cleave!

The tall Hessen was agile, and he dodged abruptly, jumping off the bed.

His face was distorted, full of anger and surprise.

He didn't know why someone would disturb his ceremony at this time!

"Poor half-elf girl." Hesse's deep voice sounded: "Since you broke my ceremony and made this corpse lose her value, then use yourself to make up for it!"

He raised his hand violently, and a dark flame came out of his hand!

"Damn it, it's [corrosion fire!]"

On the other side, Marvin, who sneaked in through the narrow window, saw the dark flames, and his heart sank.

Corrosive fire is a second-level spell, and it is the magician's signature ability. Being able to cast corrosive fire instantly means that Hessen has officially advanced to the level of a magician!

Even if he is not the elite template half a year later, he is quite tricky.

Anna was taken aback, she lowered her head to hide, and the corrosive fire instantly melted a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter on the wall!

This dodging gave Hesse a chance to sprint suddenly, widening the distance from Anna.

The cabin is actually quite big, with several rooms. Hesse fled to the living room and stood behind the sofa.

Low-level spellcasters don't have many melee countermeasures and cannot be approached by warriors.

However, once the distance is opened, the caster with a large number of high-kill low-level spells will undoubtedly have an advantage.

At some point, a thick spell book suddenly appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Anna rushed over, but it was as if she had hit a wall head-on!

Air blast!

A spherical air wave erupted from where Hessen was, overturning everything around him!

Anna is no exception!

She staggered and fell to the ground.

Although Anna has good strength, she lacks experience in fighting spellcasters!

Hesse grinned, showing his yellow teeth.

"You are dead,**."

And in the corner where he didn't pay attention, Marvin was staring at the ring on his hand intently.

It was a black diamond ring, and if Marvin remembered correctly, it was a shimmering item!

Its effect is to instantly cast a spell that does not exceed its own casting level! The restriction is that it can be used once every three days!

"It turns out that he can't instantly cast corrosive fire!"

"This is the effect of the black diamond ring. He is stalling for time to cast a more powerful spell."

"He's not a second-level magician, but a first-level dark illusionist!"

Mesmers are notoriously limited in their protective spells.

The spell slots of low-level wizards are very tight, and they guarantee at most three protection spells in the spell slots. Among them, corrosive fire and gas explosion are considered.

Marvin took a deep breath and knew not to be in a hurry.

Anna attracted Hessen's attention, and the half-elf girl's level was good, which put him under a certain amount of pressure.

This is an opportunity. He must grasp it well.

The premise is that Hesse casts the last spell of protection.

Anna got up from the ground, let out a soft drink, and rushed forward quickly, stabbing the long sword in Hessen's heart steadily!

This is a full blow from a level five fighter. Hessen's spell is not ready yet. Once he is stabbed, the spell will undoubtedly be interrupted!

A hint of helplessness appeared on his face, he gritted his teeth, and turned the spell book to the first page!

After a few short bytes, a thick layer of pale yellow armor floated over Hessen's body!

0-ring spell, [lower wizard armor]!

Ma Wen's eyes lit up, this is the third body protection witchcraft!

boom!

The long sword pierced the armor, almost piercing a hole!

However, the rebound force of the wizard's armor also made Anna's wrist tremble, and she almost lost her grip on the long sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hessen took a half step back and completed the spell he had prepared before!

In an instant, strange roars continued to sound.

Outside the cabin, there was a bustling sound.

Hessen's body gradually vanished, and his voice was full of pride: "Enjoy the feast of zombies, I will enjoy your soul after your body is torn into pieces..."

Anna looked out the window in surprise and anger.

All I saw was the darkness outside the house, which turned out to be zombies summoned by Hesse!

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the room:

"Didn't your teacher teach you that magicians are most vulnerable when performing [Void Transfer]? Mr. Hessen?"

The icy scimitar rested on Hessen's neck, easily broke through the suspended wizard's armor, and then cut a big hole in Hessen's throat!

Black blood gushes out like a fountain!

Hessen's head fell directly!

Marvin stepped out of the shadows, stepped over the sorcerer's unrepentant corpse, and looked out the window with a stern expression.

"We are in trouble, cursed zombies, block the doors and windows immediately!"
