"You are too impulsive, young man." The old halfling could not help admonishing, "I am as angry as you."
"But the Snakes teach the power of numbers."
Marvin shook his head and didn't continue to dwell on this topic.
"Did you find anything?" he asked.
Old Tuke pointed to the Screaming Mountains in the distance, and said solemnly:
"They are hiding inside. There are too many people. The two of us are not their opponents at all."
"It is necessary to dispatch the guard team on the east coast, and it must be led by a wizard of the third rank or higher, in order to completely eradicate the cancer planted by the Twin Snakes in this area."
"Don't try to act rashly. These people are much more powerful than you imagined, not comparable to those stupid spiders."
Old Tuke was afraid that Marvin might be too young.
Marvin felt a little grateful in his heart, but even though Old Tuke said so, he still wanted to go.
"I am very familiar with the methods of the Snake Cult. My father died under their conspiracy."
He considered his words carefully, and said: "Most of the people they control with mind control techniques are innocent. Their abilities are very limited, and the real threat is only a few middle and high-level people."
The old halfling nodded: "Nevertheless, let's go back to Whirlwind Harbor first."
"No need." Marvin shook his head and said, "Whirlwind Port has just been attacked by the ancient red dragon Earl. I'm afraid you heard the sound? Ordinary people are no longer allowed to enter the city."
"I met little Tuke in Trojan Town, and entrusted him to take my entourage, Lola, to the port of Blackdock, which is a little further north."
"But the two of them are still young after all. If you want to go back to Pearl Six Harbor, you should first go to Black Dock Harbor to find them."
Then the two argued again. Old Tuke obviously saw that Marvin was going to break into the base of the Snake Cult alone, and tried his best to dissuade him.
Marvin said that he had a plan. Absolutely not stupid enough to risk your own life to mess around.
In the end the old halfling relented, and he continued with his plan. Go back to Pearl Six Harbor Pass Police Guard.
After all, he is a thief, and he has never been a character in frontal combat. And Marvin, after asking him to take care of Laura, made a request to him:
"I don't know if you have any items that can increase agility? I have a hunch that I will need these very much in the battle against the followers of the Snake Cult."
Marvin is certainly not aimless.
The equipment on Old Tuke was actually very good. This guy was a thief before he became a good man. His hands and feet were not clean. He had been stealing for many years without being discovered, so he had a lot of good things on him.
Now that the two parties have established a certain relationship of trust, Marvin might as well try to see if he can borrow something.
really. Old Tuke hesitated for a while, and finally took out a ring and handed it to Marvin.
Marvin took the ring and was overjoyed.
Sure enough, thieves are richer!
Running around by himself, apart from earning some money from Black Jack, the good things he got were probably not as much as Old Tuke stole in Whirlwind Harbor in a week.
"I used this thunder ring when I was young. Since you are going to fight against the followers of the Twin Snake Cult by yourself, I don't care about borrowing it. This ring is for you!"
The old halfling was rarely generous. Perhaps it was recognition of Marvin's courage.
"Well... it turned out to be an out-of-stock product, no wonder it's so generous."
Marvin glanced at the seemingly dull rings on the old halfling's fingers, and couldn't help but tsk in his heart.
The quality of those rings is probably much better than this thunder ring, right
But this thunder ring is not bad, at least it meets Marvin's basic requirements.
[Thunder Ring]
[Quality: Shimmer]
[Effect: Agility +1]
[Requirement: None]
…
Similar shimmering items are all self-adaptive to the size of fingers, so Marvin put them on. Agility has reached the critical point of 24 points.
He just needs to change the title of [Rope Art Master] to [Random Master]. Then when facing the disciples of the Snake Cult, he would be able to burst out with a super long speed of 25 points of agility, as well as the trait of [Floating Light].
Marvin thanked the old halfling for his gift from the bottom of his heart. Just when he was about to leave, who knew that at this moment, the old halfling took out another thing.
It was a pale gold belt.
"The stone giant's belt, this is what I took out of Starscream Elizabeth's stomach."
The old halfling said without changing his face: "You killed Starscream, originally this trophy should belong to you. But at that time, the situation was urgent, so I took it for you first, and then I forgot about it. Now that When we meet again, I will return this belt to you."
When the old man said this, there was no unnaturalness on his face.
"I go… "
Marvin took the belt, and secretly complained in his heart: "I said, why can't I find anything in Starscream's stomach... I thought it was my bad luck."
"I didn't expect to be taken away by the old halfling."
"This guy said he has a clear conscience on the surface, but in fact it was because his hands were itchy at the time?"
But no matter what, as a thief, Old Tuke was already very righteous by spitting out what he swallowed.
What's more, the properties of this belt are amazing!
Although it is still a low-light item, it is the best among the low-light items.
[Stone Giant Belt]
[Quality: Shimmer]
[Effect: Strength +2]
…
Such attributes are simply rude!
What is Marvin lacking the most? It's power! The dual-knife ranger originally gave up the strike ability and increased the attack speed.
His strength is insufficient, so that many times when attacking a large monster, he obviously breaks the defense with a single knife, and still needs a volley or other methods to relay the scimitar into the enemy's vitals!
Those movements were not actually used by Marvin to be handsome... but because of his lack of strength!
These compensatory actions, as long as they are properly connected, can certainly have a certain effect. But if you encounter a master, this will become a fatal flaw.
These two strengths come just right.
Marvin immediately put on the Golem belt, and his strength jumped from 12 to 14 in one fell swoop.
After getting two pieces of Shimmer. Marvin finally bid farewell to the old halfling, and went further southwest to the Screaming Mountains alone.
…
at dusk. Marvin stopped in front of a bare hill. The horse seemed to sense something and began to become a little frightened.
It was an aura of fear that only animals with keener senses could detect instinctively.
Marvin let go of the rein, let the horse go, and let him run northeast.
That way, there won't be too many marks left behind.
The hill in front is the underground granary, an important branch of the Snake Cult on the east coast.
There is only one entrance to the underground granary, and the checks are very strict.
However, in front of Marvin who has a stealth ability of 101 points, it is useless!
He had already found the cave. The cave looks empty, but it is actually heavily guarded.
The two second-order priests of the Snake Cult have been watching the surroundings vigilantly. They are hidden in the shadow of the cave and are not easy to be found.
And under their feet are two lazy Oser dogs.
This kind of dog is relatively rare on the east coast, and it is generally a creature that can only be produced in the northern Osser Island. Osers have a great sense of smell, more importantly. They have a certain chance to see through invisible units!
So this creature is usually used to guard the entrance of important places.
Looking at the two spiritless Osers, Marvin knew that the poor little guys had been numb by the disgusting breath of the Snake Cult.
The priests of the Twin Snake Cult probably don't know that the Oser dog is a creature with a keen sense of smell and vision, but it is very easily stained by dirty things.
Large-scale sacrifices are regularly held in this underground granary every month. The ghosts of the dead gather here, which is more exaggerated than mass graves.
The Oser dog has obviously been paralyzed by these filthy things, and can't break his stealth at all.
But even so. Marvin was still waiting.
Wait until dark.
night traveler. It is better to move after dark.
…
It was getting dark.
Marvin's actions also slowly unfolded.
The underground granary belongs to the wilderness, and the ranger's stealth will not be punished in the wilderness. Not to mention the bonus of night walkers.
He passed the entrance easily.
As he judged. The two Oser dogs are basically blind. As for the two priests, they don't have any good anti-stealth methods.
Marvin successfully sneaked into the underground granary.
His movements are very slow, and every step conforms to the law of stealth—this is the valuable experience he gained from playing thieves in his previous life.
When sneaking, footwork is very important. Sometimes correct and stable steps can even subtly improve the effect of stealth.
In the dark cave, there is a small brazier burning every other way. Unsurprisingly, the brazier was painted with the hideous pattern of the Mieshi Snakes.
Ma Wen went deep into the underground granary and met many people walking blindly.
They all lost their spiritual intelligence, and were brainwashed by the priests of the Twin Snake Cult with mind-controlling techniques, and prayed to the World-Mieger Twin Snakes in the cave every day.
And once they found that there was an enemy invasion, these believers would attack the enemy frantically.
They are horrific violence, but also innocent people controlled.
As long as you kill the priest who cast mind control on them, they will be liberated.
So the dungeon of the underground granary is not played according to the normal way at all!
According to the normal way of playing, pushing all the way, it is estimated that you will lose money. Killing these ordinary people is inexperienced, and it may also lead to a decline in one's reputation, and waste a lot of time, experience, and potions.
The underground granary is basically for stealth masters.
Because this place is coming in the opposite direction.
Marwen, who knows how to play, is familiar with the road, and the terrain here is still fresh in his memory. After walking around for half an hour, he passed the ordinary believers and the second-level priests, and came to the cave entrance of the purple-robed priest!
The defense of the underground granary is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. There is only a simple curtain hanging outside the cave of the purple-robed priest, without any defensive measures.
Marvin dived in easily.
The cave was as big as I remembered. In a far corner, a figure was murmuring in a low voice.
He seemed to be talking to someone!
Ma Wen's heart moved, and he leaned over to listen.
... (to be continued~^~)
