Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fall of the Legend
Anna nodded.
Under Marven's arrangement, all the members of the garrison have been evacuated from Hetan City in batches.
Riverbeach City is well guarded, but it's also lax. There are always some secret passages that are unknown and in the hands of different people.
In fact, Marven had bought a way to sneak out of Riverbeach City from the old goblin last night, before the patrol arrived from the docklands.
A sewer system north of the city was once occupied by a corrosive monster, and the patrol team removed it without careful inspection.
As a result, in that area, there was a dark passage entrance large enough for an adult to enter and exit.
Bane's Blackclaw Chamber of Commerce holds this secret passage, and Marven cooperates with him to send the members of the guard out of Riverbeach City one by one.
They will take those light but valuable belongings and return to Green Village and other places first.
Neither Marvin nor Anna will question the loyalty of these team members, especially under Andre's leadership, and there will be no problems within the garrison because of these financial problems.
……
"It's too dangerous to do that." Anna looked at Marven with some reproach: "I know you hate him very much, he killed the old lord, and he deserves this fate." ”
"But what if the wizards find out?"
The half-elf housekeeper was worried. This morning, it was she who personally sent the little girl from Miro's family back, but in the afternoon, there was a wanted warrant for the bounty of the double knife mask in the major guilds, and it was self-evident who did it.
Presumably, after this experience, the defense strength of the high-ranking officials of the city hall will be raised by one level.
"No, it won't." Marven smiled faintly.
He doesn't explain much.
The people of this era are still full of a supreme awe for wizards.
After all, it was a group of people who had ruled this world for an era.
This is also the reason why the security of River Beach City has always been very good. But that is already in the past tense.
Marven clearly remembered that half a year before the cataclysm, all the prophetic wizards lost their abilities.
This was just a sign, but the wizards didn't pay attention to it, after all, the prophecy system has always been a bit of a trick.
The essence of the fact is that the Lord of Time, who has powerful divine powers, has banned part of the magic power in the cosmic magic pool, and that part of the magic power happens to be related to prophecy and time.
The gods have begun to act in the shadows.
It is precisely because of this that Marven let it go. Because he knew that the wizards of the prophecy department had no way to find their own traces.
And so it was.
As for Miro, the senior official of the city hall, he will not personally come forward to identify Marven, because the transfer of the patrol is a warrant from his own hands, and he cannot allow himself to be tainted by dereliction of duty.
At most, he secretly mobilized some forces to investigate and offer a bounty for the double knife mask.
It's just that Marven was a little surprised that at noon, he went to the tavern to inquire about the news, and actually heard that the patrol team had caught some cult members in the dock area!
"I heard that the sacrifice of the [God of Plague] was secretly performing some kind of ritual, and it happened to be bumped into by the patrol in the rich area."
"Those guys are really unlucky, too."
Originally, it was only part of Marven's plan to support the patrol in the rich area, but who would have thought that they would really catch a few cultists.
But it also reminded Marven.
Whether it is the followers of the [Twin Serpents of the World] or the [God of Plague], they have already begun to be active in the south.
This means that the most chaotic times are coming!
He couldn't stop for a moment. The White River Valley must be recovered as much as possible!
But before that, he has to play the family of the "victim".
After all, after Uncle Miller died, Marven was his only blood relative. This also means that the legacy left by Miller is inherited by him.
However, Marven knew that although the city hall came to notice, this inheritance must have been left to Marven after they had looted almost the ground.
"Aren't these guys too much?"
"I thought they would make an excuse to say that the Miller family's wealth was robbed by the robbers, and I was left with only a box of ashes."
……
Towards the end of the evening, Marven changed into an aristocratic costume and looked like the weak and incompetent teenager again.
He and Anna went to the town hall together.
Sure enough, the official in charge of the estate process only gave Marven a title deed, which was the proof of the house that Miller had purchased at No. 31 in the wealthy area.
The rest of the jewelry, belongings, and the like, there was nothing at all.
"Lord Marven, the festival mourns and changes."
The official said in a hypocritical manner.
Marven pretended to be weak and asked, "Now my uncle is also dead, and my only relatives are gone." ”
"The guards of Riverbeach City, when will they be able to send troops to help me clear out those gnolls?"
"I need to get my territory back."
The official still laughed and said, "Well, it's very difficult." ”
"Lord Marven, you see, Riverbeach City has been infested with cultists recently, and there are also rampant killers, such as the double knife mask that killed your uncle's family...... We don't have enough manpower. ”
"I think it's better for you to wait patiently in the city for a while."
Marven's face showed a look of disappointment.
He was secretly surprised in his heart.
It stands to reason that once Miller died, the officials he bribed at the city hall should have no reason to stop the army from sending troops to clear out the group of gnolls.
After all, the White River Valley and River Beach City are not too far away, and having such a group of gnolls entrenched is also a threat to River Beach City.
But these officials are still prevaricating.
"Could it be that the people who pay attention to the White River Valley are not just Miller?"
Marven was flexible and guessed the possible truth behind it at once.
However, he didn't plan to rely on the strength of the Riverbeach City Patrol. I just asked this, firstly, it is a reasonable thing to do, and secondly, it is to test it.
It seems that there are some people with other intentions in Hetan City.
Marven glanced at the taskbar, the main quest has not changed, or to regain the territory.
There are only 18 days left.
……
Leaving the city hall, Marven immediately arranged his next move.
After last night's murder, arson, and takeaway robbery, Marvin reaped a considerable fortune from Miller's house. These riches add up to at least a hundred thousand silver coins!
Among them, the ones that were easier to carry were taken away by the people of the garrison, accounting for about one-third.
For the rest, he sold it all cheaply to Bane of the Black Claw Chamber of Commerce as a double knife mask.
The old goblin is cunning and knows who to mess with and who to cooperate.
Marven's body has a murderous aura that he is very afraid of, so when he received the goods, he was actually very talkative and gave a good price.
And last night, he had also seen two of Marven's subordinates, both of whom were extremely powerful Phantom assassins.
Those who mix with them in this line naturally know very well that anyone can be provoked, but not assassins.
The old goblin enthusiastically states that Twin Blade Kamen will be a great partner of their Black Claw Chamber of Commerce, even if the bounty is worth a lot of money.
Marven now has a total of 5o gold coins in his hand, which are converted into small silver coins, which is more than 50,000.
This money is enough for him to organize a mercenary army composed of low-level adventurers!
"Here's 30,000 silver coins."
Marven handed a pocket to Anna and said solemnly: "Go to the Adventurer's Guild to choose, you must have a formal occupation." Experience in team battles is preferred, command experience is preferred, weapons and armor are preferred, and fighters are preferred. Almost twenty or so. You can do it yourself. ”
The half-elf nodded.
He was very relieved of Anna's ability, and it was most appropriate for him to leave the matter of recruiting adventurers to her.
If he wants to recover the White River Valley, he must have a team of men, and it is not enough to rely on the people of the garrison.
"Young Master Marven, what about you?" Anna asked.
"Me?"
Marven smiled: "I'm going to go back to the White River Valley first." ”
"Somebody has to do some scouting, right?"
……
On the east coast, on the Holy Light Tower, the sun is setting in the west.
On the high platform, next to the rickety old man, a corpse lay there quietly.
Even the extremely weak legendary wizard was terrifying, and although he suffered an unimaginable sneak attack, he still killed this disciple who was controlled by the Twin Snake Sect before he died.
It's just that he himself is also on the verge of falling!
Although the Prince of Darkness is only a god with weak divine power, before he became a god, he was a powerful legendary assassin!
Anthony closed his eyes, his face bruised.
There was a chaotic sound in the eyes of the sun, as if something was disturbing, and there were legendary wizards from other regions who tried to teleport over, but they were also stopped by the inexplicable force field.
It's a conspiracy.
Anthony staggered to the edge of the platform. Looking down from this angle, you can see both the Sailing City in the north and the Jewel Bay in the south.
What a beautiful landscape.
The old man stood there silently and began to murmur.
Thirty seconds later, his body fell from the platform.
And a pitch-black cloud quickly formed in the sky!
In an instant, a violent pain suddenly came from the hearts of all the kind-hearted creatures on the East Coast!
Some women with weak willpower couldn't help but cry.
The crowd looked to the east in shock.
Legend Falls!
