Night Ranger

Crossing the endless rice fields, the cold wind coming from afar is very scary.

The sky is always dark, if you choose to look down on the earth, you can see the terrifying scarlet through the black soil.

This is the Scarlet Wasteland.

Alone, Marvin quickly walked out of the edge of the rice field.

He now has the simplest map in his mind, which includes the topography of Eisengel and its northeast.

In Eisengel, no one can get something for nothing. As a newcomer, it is naturally impossible for Marvin to obtain a complete map.

He has to complete the mission of the camp.

In order to hurry up, after some consideration, he chose a task with a high degree of difficulty.

The reason why the difficulty factor of this task is quite high is because this task was posted on the bulletin board two weeks ago, but after two weeks, no one has completed it.

And most of the people in the camp are not interested in this task, even if the price is as high as 30 blood essence stones.

After discussing with the manager who released the task, Ma Wen added a standard Eisengel novice tool kit to the 30 blood essence stones, and finally reached an agreement.

Generally speaking, new members of the camp will have some discounts in completing tasks.

Marvin only needs to complete a novice patrol mission to get a complete novice kit.

The toolkit includes the following three things: two maps, the large map of the Scarlet Wasteland, and a small map near Eisengar; a teleportation scroll that can be teleported back to Eisengar within two hundred miles; The microscopic cloak is said to help you hide your aura.

The novice patrol tasks are relatively simple, they are all patrolling in the hinterland of Eisengar, but the time is a little longer, it takes two weeks.

Marvin was planning to stay in the Scarlet Wasteland for a total of 12 weeks at most, so how could he spend two weeks wasting on patrol missions?

So he chose the fastest way.

Although this task seems to be a bit difficult.

...

In the north covering the rice fields of Eisengarh, there is a mountainous land with ups and downs.

The terrain of the mountain is rugged, and there are a lot of space-time cracks and void vortexes in the sky. If you want to fly over this mountain. Nine times out of ten, you will be sucked into cracks and eddies and end up lost somewhere in the universe.

So the people on the Scarlet Wasteland opened up a road.

The name of this road is [Dead Leaf Corridor].

From the map, the Dead Leaf Corridor connects Eisengel and the Black Swan Hill in the north, and it is a very important channel for Eisengel to communicate with the outside world.

However, recently. Many monsters appeared in the dead leaf corridor.

These monsters are not naturally formed in the Scarlet Wasteland.

The aborigines here are very familiar with the monsters naturally formed in the bloody wasteland, including a large number of shriveled zombies, bloody puppets, trolls and so on.

But this time, among the monsters wandering in the corridor of dead leaves, there appeared the shadows of haters and road devils.

At first, a patrol team discovered this abnormal situation when completing the patrol mission. They recorded it and reported it to the camp.

Then there is the in-depth investigation.

The camp sent two of the most powerful scouts to investigate the black hand abomination and road devils behind these monsters.

Soon, the answer will be revealed.

On the third of the way from the dead leaf corridor to the black swan hill. There is a small canyon.

Originally, the canyon was empty, but now an altar was built out of thin air in the canyon.

The owner of the altar is called Balkh. It's not a first name, it's a surname.

If Marvin remembered correctly, the [King of Tyranny] in the abyss was named Balkh. He is one of the most powerful lords in the abyss.

And the owner of the altar, Balkh, even if he is not his son, has a lot to do with the tyrannical king.

Otherwise he would not have dared to use Balkh as his surname.

The scouts understood that the roadgoblins and abominations wandering the corridor of dead leaves were all summoned by Balkh from the altar.

He seems to be experimenting with some kind of mysterious magic.

as a great demon. Balkh has unparalleled spell-like abilities; and he himself is specialized in abyssal witchcraft, and his strength is much higher than that of ordinary legendary wizards.

As we all know, due to their physique, it is easier for demons to practice witchcraft than other creatures.

Because the root of chaotic magic power comes from the abyss, demons and magic power tend to be one.

Both sides also complied with the [chaos and madness] rule.

It's just because there is a serious shortage of high IQs among demons. Most of them are used to destroying and solving problems with force, and their IQs are often not useful.

This has led to most demons relying on their talents to use some spell-like abilities.

A real demon wizard. It is very few.

And Balkh is one of them.

...

"The camp once sent two top assassins to assassinate Balkh, and it is said that there is also a level 4 ace assassin..."

"But they all failed. This is enough to show that Balkh is very vigilant. This is normal. In a place like the Scarlet Wasteland, even demon wizards dare not relax their vigilance."

"Information shows that Balkh has raised a magic dragon. This magic dragon is invisible and protects around him, absorbing damage for him."

"The reason why the previous two assassins failed was because they were blocked by Balkh's magic dragon. Once the assassin's first attack was blocked by the wizard, then the next countless instant spells would hit the assassin without any chance. Fight back."

Marvin walked forward quietly. While thinking about countermeasures.

The demon wizard Balkh is not an easy character to deal with. He has understood this since the moment he took over the task.

However, Ma Wen, who is highly skilled and courageous, still wants to give it a try.

This time, he chose a different approach from other assassins.

The rest of the people lurked quietly, ignored all the monsters, and went straight to Balkh himself.

But Ma Wen decided to kill all the way!

He didn't want to let go of any of these monsters on the corridor of dead leaves.

A shambling shadow loomed ahead.

He was covered in black air, with broken shackles on his hands and feet.

The shackles themselves are made of magic, and I don't know who put them on.

hater.

One of Balkh's summons.

Marvin took a deep breath and silently entered the stealth state.

Light and skilful footsteps, quickly and without trace, the abominable person didn't realize Marvin's existence at all.

In the next second, Marvin glanced at a column on the data panel, and instantly activated a skill.

Whoosh!

The light of the Aoba knife flashed, and a silent sneak attack quietly started...
