It was dark in the cave, and Marvin lit a torch with flint and stuck it in the mud beside him.
Pushing aside some chaotic stones, the abandoned altar revealed its true appearance.
The reason why it was abandoned was because the high elves who ruled Feinan's second era had already left this land, and no one repaired it, so it was naturally abandoned after a long time.
But its basic functions are still there.
The Elven Old God is a tolerant god, he allows the existence of non-believers, and is willing to make some deals with them. So Marvin is still very confident about activating the altar.
If you are dealing with some evil gods, you have to be more careful, God knows if they will eat you by the way after getting the benefits.
The runes on the ground are all written by high elves, and even among the ordinary elves left in Feinan, few of them are proficient.
[You discovered the ancient elf altar]
[Your Knowledge - Ruins +1]
[Knowledge - Ruins (Ancient Elf Altar)]: This is an abandoned altar of ancient elves, through which you can communicate with the ancient elf god or his agent.
…
Marvin didn't know these runes either, but he knew how to activate the altar.
In the center of the altar, there is a small washbasin made of clay with some hideous monsters painted on it.
These monsters are said to be the incarnations of the ancient gods of the elves. They are ugly and terrifying, but their hearts are extremely kind.
He took out the lich's severed finger and put it on the washbasin.
After five breaths, the brazier around the altar suddenly burst into flames!
Puff!
Six divine fires are lit, which is a sign that the altar is activated!
"Sure enough, the divinity on the lich's severed finger has attracted the attention of the ancient god. Even if it's not him, it's a consciousness clone!"
Marvin smiled.
If there is no lich's severed finger, he will have to use another method to activate the altar, which will consume a lot of gems.
As of now, this fee can be waived. After all, divinity is still very rare in the current Feinan world.
In the center of the altar, a flame burst into flames, and the flames gradually spread out, turning into an ugly human face.
"What do you want? The descendants of the Numans?"
Numan
Marvin was slightly taken aback. He originally thought that he was just an ordinary human being. Although there was a question mark behind the race, it was probably a very hidden bloodline. But I didn't expect that I was actually a descendant of the Numans
Those guys are known as natural spellcasters. They even established their own country in the third era. Later, they were exiled into the void by other races because of their strength.
In other words, the Numans were born warlocks. They were not natives of Feinan, but outsiders.
But now is not the time to think about these, he hastily made his request to the flame face.
After listening to Marvin's request, the flame face was silent for a while, and then slowly said:
"This is the severed finger of the Lich Angmarie. It contains powerful power. Your asking price is fair."
"Take three steps back and you'll get what you want."
Ma Wen did as he did, stepped back three steps, and came outside the altar.
Hula la!
The human face in the center of the altar dissipated, and the pottery washbasin also burst into flames, and the lich's severed finger disappeared into the flames.
This is a fair deal between Marvin and the Elven Old God.
Anyway, the lich's severed finger is of no use to him for the time being, so it's better to exchange for something that can be used now.
In an instant, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the center of the flame.
At the same time, two balls of light flew out and went straight into Marvin's eyebrows.
Marvin didn't dodge, and let the two balls of light enter his body, the ancient elf god still has a lot of credibility.
The first ball of light was the blessing of the ancient elf god.
[Wo's Blessing]: Your Agility +1
Although the effect is very simple, it is very practical. After all, attribute points are too precious.
In this way, Marvin's basic agility reached 19 points. If he faced many enemies, his agility could reach 20 points with the bonus of the title [Master of Chaos]!
With 20 points of agility, you have reached the threshold of agility super-elder, and you can get the agility and super-long trait [Flying the Wall]!
Flying over eaves and walls is a very practical trait, and Marvin misses it very much. Although activating this trait must meet certain conditions, it can also greatly enhance his combat strength.
The second group of light is a mark of loyalty.
[Loyalty Mark]: Your two followers will always be loyal to you.
"Master! Kyle Amber pledges allegiance to you!"
"Master! Simon Agate pledges his allegiance to you!"
Two elves, one tall and one short, walked down from the altar and paid homage to Marvin.
An amber, an agate, and the naming level of the ancient elf gods are also urgent enough. Although your old man likes gems and the like very much, is it really good to use these nouns as the surnames of your descendants
Ma Wen secretly complained a few words in his heart, and began to understand the strength of his two loyal subordinates.
Not surprisingly, as I requested, the two powerful thugs given by the Elf Ancient God are both second-tier Phantom Assassins!
The attributes of the two are similar. Kyle is a male with slightly stronger strength; while Simon is a female with higher charm. The rest of the attributes are the attributes of a standard second-tier elf phantom assassin, and all kinds of skills are also readily available.
With two more bodyguards by his side, Marvin's sense of security was greatly enhanced. This is a real second-tier master.
Their levels are Rogue 7/Phantom Assassin 3. They have the strongest assassination ability among Tier 2, and their perception is quite good, which is exactly what Marvin needs.
The only shortcoming is that these two guys are not real elves, but creatures created by the ancient gods of elves. Although they have wisdom, their strength cannot be improved with battle.
But it is enough to deal with the current situation.
"It's time for the Miller family to pay the price, kill my father, and take away my territory with the jackals."
"This debt can only be repaid with blood!"
Marvin asked Kyle to watch the night and had a good sleep in the warm cave. The next morning, the three of them left the dead hills.
It was another three days before they returned to River Beach City.
…
In the room of the Black Horned Hawk Inn.
Anna looked at the empty room with some worry, and sighed.
Last night, she had already returned to River Beach City. With her, there are twenty young men from the guard!
They dressed up as ordinary farmers, entered the city in batches, and stayed in various nearby hotels.
Marvin left a sum of money for Anna, which was enough for her to arrange these.
There was a letter on the table, which was written by Marvin to Anna, probably to reassure her that he would be back soon.
But Anna was very worried.
She'd already heard what happened to the Akron gang, single-handedly wiped out by a guy called the Two Swords Mask.
Anna is not a fool. Although she was surprised by Marvin's courage and strength, she judged very accurately that the double-knife mask should be Marvin himself.
"It's too dangerous. Why is Master Marvin so impulsive?"
Anna was a little anxious, she didn't know what Marvin was doing, but the woman's intuition told him that Marvin must be doing something dangerous.
She wished she could help, but now she could just sit and wait for news from Marvin.
There was a burst of irritability in her heart for no reason.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three rhythmic knocks on the door.
It must be Andre. This guy is the captain of the guard. Although he is very loyal, he is also very impulsive.
Anna took a deep breath and went to open the door.
There were three people standing outside the door.
"Master Marvin?!"
Anna showed surprise.
"they are… ?"
She looked at the two powerful professionals behind Marvin.
"They are my helpers."
Marvin smiled: "Andre and the others?"
"They are nearby, and they are very angry when they hear that you have been assassinated."
Anna responded.
"That's good." Marvin nodded: "Go and arrange it. After sunset, let them gather at the east corner of Fortune Plaza in the rich area."
"Rich area?" Anna froze for a moment.
"Well, tonight we are going to deal with the real man behind the scenes."
Marvin said lightly: "Before that, I need to do some things. You must be careful not to be recognized as members of the White River Valley Guard."
Anna had too many doubts in her heart, but listening to Marvin's unquestionable order, she could only suppress her doubts for the time being.
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
…
At sunset, outside the city hall, a potbellied official got into the carriage and headed home.
It's just that he didn't know that three wanderers hiding in the dark had already set their sights on him.
The carriage stopped in the rich district, and the fat man got out of the carriage leisurely and entered the study.
He has some secret papers to get rid of.
However, the moment he stepped into the study, he felt something was wrong!
