Night Ranger

Volume 1 Nobles who lost their territory Chapter 16 Void Conch

After killing the Akron gang with one hand, Marvin became rich overnight.

He was never one to be stingy with money, especially when it was necessary. Anyway, if those silver coins are not spent now, the collapse of the monetary system caused by the catastrophe half a year later will turn them into a pile of scrap iron, so it is better to exchange them for something useful.

Especially those wizard gold coins. They are more valuable, and it would be a waste if they don't go out before the currency system of the southern city-state collapses.

Marvin knew this well, so before he left River Beach City, he pretended to join the Ranger Union.

The Ranger Union is actually a very simple organization. It releases some missions, is neutral in nature, and occasionally does business.

Marvin checked the task bar of the Ranger Union, and there was no task of clearing the scarlet monastery that appeared half a year later—this means that the group of scarlet servants are still relatively safe now, and their strength is still within a controllable range— As for the sleeping demigod lich, Marvin had already set his mind on him.

It was rumored that he failed in conferring a god and fell into a deep sleep, but in fact he only failed at the last moment. He successfully condensed the godhead.

And that godhead is now quietly lying in the underground labyrinth of the Scarlet Monastery.

This godhead Marvin is determined to win, but not now, his strength is too weak now, even a sleeping demigod is enough to kill him in seconds.

...

The Ranger Guild owns the Wizards Union's Alchemist's Home counter, where he spends a lot of money on necessities. The most important of these is a void conch.

【Void Conch】

Quality: shimmer

Accommodates: Four-foot cube space

Requirements: Intelligence 10

Obviously, this is a storage item. The void conch is the most common of all storage items, because its raw material, the azure conch, itself contains several dimensions, and it only needs a little processing to turn it into a qualified alchemy product.

Of course, this thing is worth a lot, and it cost Marvin 3 wizard gold coins!

For the same low-light items, storage equipment is always more expensive.

Another thing worth mentioning is [Ruyi Rope]. It is also a low-light product, and the price is 1600 silver coins, which is much cheaper than the Void Conch.

This is a multifunctional rope, which is said to be written by the high elves. According to various spells, the rope can play multiple functions, and it is one of the most desired equipment for adventurers.

It's a pity that ordinary adventurers can't afford low-light items.

More than a thousand silver coins, they may not have earned so much money in their entire life.

Marvin was naturally different. He didn't think too much about buying the Ruyi Rope, because this piece of equipment was the most important means for him to enter the Scarlet Monastery.

Without it, he could not pass the level of the painful monk at the gate of the monastery.

...

The remnants of the Hall Mountain Range, on an unnamed high mountain.

With two knives in hand and a void conch hanging around his neck, Marvin walked cautiously on the rugged mountain road.

The wilderness of Feinan's world is quite a dangerous place. But it’s okay now, after the cataclysm, monsters infected by chaotic magic power are everywhere in the mortal world. These creatures are called monsters, and they have more powerful destructive power than before, and they are also more bloodthirsty.

Even many cities were destroyed under the impact of these monsters.

River Beach City, in Marvin's memory, was one of the few cities in the south that was not captured by monsters. The reason is also very simple. Like Jewel Bay in the north, this place is the birthplace of large players. The power from the players helped to resist a large number of monsters, and the river beach city was saved.

But in this life, Marvin had a premonition in his heart that those players who were hailed as "sons of gold" by the aborigines might not appear again.

In this way, it is still a question of whether the river beach city can be defended by its own strength.

However, before the cataclysm, the vicinity of River Beach City was considered safe. Especially on this mountain, because of the faint suppression of the godhead, creatures with a little bit of animal instinct will not approach.

This relieved Marvin a lot of burden.

Marvin walked along the path, and soon, a valley surrounded by mist appeared in front of him.

There is the main entrance of Scarlet Monastery.

Two painful monks over two meters tall stood awe-inspiring, holding iron bars. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a statue.

In fact, they are not living things at all, but once outsiders approach, they will be activated by the magic of the Lich.

At that time, what Marvin needs to face is two third-tier professionals with career levels of [Warrior Monk 5/Ascetic 5/Painful Monk 2]!

The melee ability of the Painful Monk is among the best among the third-tier professions, not to mention the curses cast on them by the demigod lich - each curse is a super BUFF, and if you want to kill these two guys head-on, you must at least have a legend. Level characters shot.

Or send out a legion of second-tier professionals.

In some cases, crowd tactics are still very useful.

...

Ma Wen didn't plan to enter through the main entrance, he took the path in the backyard.

The Scarlet Monastery was built in a valley. There were cliffs on both sides of the valley, and there was no suitable place to climb.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Marvin knew that there was a goblin cave, and after eliminating a few goblins entrenched in it, he could find a small protruding platform.

Then using the Ruyi Rope, he can parachute into the Crimson Monastery.

It's just a little risky.

In the Scarlet Monastery, apart from the scarlet attendants, there are also monsters like demon god executors. The scarlet waiter has a fixed range of activities, and the demon god executors—these guys like to cross the border and often run around, adding a lot of unstable factors to Marvin's infiltration plan.

But what doesn't require risk?

Marvin went around the valley and found a winding path up the mountain.

Half an hour later, he found a hidden entrance behind a haystack.

Goblin Cave. There are often six to eight goblins in varying numbers. They may have weapons in their hands, but most of them are crude weapons, mainly sticks.

The average level of goblins is about level 2, and only those large goblin tribes may have more than one level of goblin professionals.

Before Marvin took office, he might not even be able to beat a goblin. But now, after the battle at the Pyroxene Tavern, he has already raised his ranger level to level 4. Diafis and his men joined forces to contribute a lot of killing experience, so that Marvin quickly became a fourth-level ranger.

And just a few days ago, he was still a nobleman with no power to restrain a chicken. This rocket-like upgrade speed, if other people know about it, they will definitely be shocked.

Today, Marvin has 90 health points. He bought a suitable leather armor from the Ranger Union, which can resist some attacks and ensure that his agility will not be affected. This upgrade also gained 24 skill points, so his skill points accumulated to 42 points.

Marvin allocated 20 points of it to the new skill [Climbing].

In fact, to use the rope to enter the Crimson Monastery, you need at least 30 climbing skills. But the Ruyi Rope has its own hidden attribute that reduces the climbing skill requirement by 10 points, so Marvin only allocated 20 points. The remaining 22 points are for later use.

...

He pushed aside the grass, bent down and walked in.

I lit the simple torch that was also purchased at the Ranger Union with flint, and a gleam of fire appeared in the cave.

A strange cry came from the depths of the cave.

With a torch in his left hand and a scimitar in his right, Marvin rushed in unceremoniously.

Half a minute later, in the depths of the goblin's cave, several green-skinned corpses lay in disorder.

These goblins are all savages, and their wisdom has not yet developed, so there is no way to reason with them. Their strength was low, and they quickly turned into corpses under Marvin's scimitar.

Goblin caves have the rotting stench characteristic of this creature.

Most people just leave. But Marvin still searched the vicinity carefully to see if there were any treasure chests or loot.

He knew that goblins were usually poor, but there were exceptions.

Extra care sometimes does pay off unexpectedly.

Marvin finds a full chest in the corner of the goblin's cave.

The box was locked, and the brass lock seemed to have been broken by someone trying to use brute force - no need to guess, it must be the masterpiece of those goblins.

"There's silt on the box, they probably dug it out of some swamp nearby."

"There is an enchantment on the copper lock. It is a magic lock. But the magic power is very weak, and the level will not be very high."

"What's hidden in there?"

Marvin hesitated for a moment, and took out a small stack of scrolls from the Void Conch.

This kind of scroll is very valuable, it is called [low-level lockpicking scroll], and it is used to replace the thief's lockpicking skill.

There are two kinds of lockpicking scrolls, one is used to open ordinary locks, and the other is used to open magic locks, the latter is particularly expensive. Marvin bought ten scrolls to open ordinary locks, but he only bought five scrolls to open magic locks.

In the Scarlet Monastery, there are many locations where treasure chests are hidden. Marvin's goal is these hidden treasure chests.

He wasn't sure if the goblin's little treasure chest in front of him was worth a low-level scroll to open a magic lock.

"Anyway, in my memory, before the second hall, it seems that there are only three treasure chests with magic locks, and the rest are ordinary locks."

"There are [Corpse Hunters] with a keen sense of smell wandering around in the second hall. At my current level, I definitely dare not go there."

"Why don't you try it."

Marvin made up his mind and tore off a low-level lock-picking scroll that opened the magic lock.

A pale white key flew out of the paper and inserted into the copper lock.

Ding dong. The lock is open.

Marvin listened attentively, there should be no mechanism inside, but for the sake of caution, he still stood at a distance and opened the treasure chest with a branch.

Sure enough, there were no vicious traps in the box.

Marvin breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over.

In the three-foot-sized treasure chest, there were several pieces of yellowed parchment lying quietly, and a piece of azure blue gemstone.
