The holy woman came from the desert, followed by two silent Bai people.

Scimitar samurai.

The scimitar skills of the Bai people are well-known throughout the continent. The scimitar warrior is also one of the characteristic professions of the Bai people, just like the gunners in the line of fire of the Sand people.

The two scimitar warriors each grabbed one person.

Looks like a prisoner.

They were strong, but they were covered in bruises, and their mouths were taped.

The saint stopped outside Catimuel, and she looked at the crowd, and at the same time, the guards on duty greeted him.

"I have found the murderer who hunted the white deer, these two adventurers."

"In order to punish this severely, I will execute these two men in front of all outsiders."

The guards nodded.

So everyone suddenly moved out of the way.

In the town, there are also many people watching.

Marven instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

He took Isabelle's small hand and gently stepped back, hiding out of the reach of the saint's eyes.

This saint gave him a strange feeling.

It stands to reason that ∴ holy daughter of the Bai people is used to serve the Holy Spirit Bailu, and she rarely haunts the eyes of everyone, and more often it is the priests of the Bai people who come forward.

Even if it gets so big, there's no need to come forward in person, right?

Marven hesitated, and there was already a cheer from the crowd.

Obviously, the two strong guys had been decapitated.

Blood splattered all over the ground.

The anger of the Bai people was vented, and under the construction of the holy woman, Catsamuel temporarily lifted the state of martial law.

The crowd lined up. One by one, they began to enter the town.

The saint herself, on the other hand, glanced at the crowd.

Then she took a small step. Entering the town, it quickly disappeared from view.

……

For travelers passing by. What just happened may just be a small episode.

But for Marvin, it's a big deal.

Someone hunts the white deer, which means that the white deer cave is about to open, do you want to get involved?

If someone is used and the Holy Spirit White Deer is regarded as a murderer, then it will be extremely unlucky - but what if, when the Holy Spirit White Deer is fighting against the real murderer, he sneaks in and gets the treasure first?

To be honest, Marven is not impressed. It's just that he's still thinking about the benefits and risks of this matter.

"Forget it, this thing feels a little weird, let's get down to business first."

Marven no longer hesitated, and after the back of the saint disappeared from everyone's view, he began to line up to enter the town.

……

Catumue, the brightest pearl in the desert of the sages.

There are the most unique buildings of the Bai people here, and the huts specially designed to prevent wind and sand look so chic and have an exotic atmosphere.

Every place in Fernan has its own customs. Although they belong to the south, the desert area has a very different atmosphere from the east coast.

The women here wear veils and wrap themselves tightly. This is the historical custom of the Bai people.

But they don't reject outsiders' fancy dress, and Catimuel is a fairly inclusive town. Unlike some extreme places in the Sage Desert, outsiders are seen as demons.

Marvin takes Isabel through Catalmuel, and the two first supply some food and water.

Walking in the desert for so many days. The little girl was indeed tired, and he gave her a day to rest.

Early the next morning. Marvin took Isabel to an alley west of the town.

At the end of the alley. It's a small workshop, and it looks like it's making some handicraft items.

The owner of the workshop is a one-eyed middle-aged man, and everyone calls him One-Eyed Bird.

"Buy a white deer clay pot."

The middle-aged man glanced at the two guests who entered the door and shouted as usual.

The whole room is filled with all kinds of clay pots.

Isabel was immediately intrigued.

The clay pots are decorated with white deer in various styles, and the patterns are also colorful, which is a rare artwork on the East Coast. It can be used to store water in normal times, and of course, the ornamental value is higher.

"Do you like it?"

Marven saw the curiosity and longing that first appeared in the little girl's eyes.

"If you like it, pick one."

One-Eyed Bird said lightly, "A clay pot, a wizard's gold coin." ”

Isabel's eyes widened. She began to shake her head vigorously.

As a girl from a poor family, of course she knew what a wizard's gold coin was.

Just to buy a nice clay pot?

She didn't think it was worth it.

However, to her surprise, Marven did not hesitate to take out a wizard gold coin and handed it over.

"Pick one." Marven winked at her: "This is not just buying a clay pot, this is still part of the tuition fee." ”

Hearing this, One-Eyed Bird suddenly raised his head and looked at Isabel seriously.

The little girl looked at Marven with some confusion, and finally nodded heavily.

Now that Master Marven has already paid, she has to pick the best one.

So she started with the first jar she saw when she entered the door, picking them one by one. She was very serious in her movements, comparing each clay pot to the past, and finally it took a long time to pick out the one she liked the most.

This process took more than 20 minutes.

And during this period, Marven and the one-eyed shopkeeper didn't say a word.

Isabel carefully held the clay pot with a drawing of a leaping white deer.

"That's it?" Marven touched her head.

The little girl nodded. There was excitement in her eyes.

It's the first time someone has given her such a beautiful gift.

"Take good care of it." Marven said lightly: "Maybe we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

"There's a lot of things that go next, and you have to deal with them alone. Do you have faith? ”

Isabel nodded vigorously.

In fact, long before departure. Marven consulted her.

And it was at this time that One-Eyed Bird finally spoke:

"Send such a young girl to the Valley of Shadows. It's a cruel thing. ”

"There's never been a shortage of kids her age in the Valley of Shadows, has there'en?" Marven looked at him as well.

"I need to look at the Alliance's license." Bird said dryly.

Marven quietly showed his identification.

"Baron Marvin of the White River Valley. It turned out to be you. ”

"Your reputation has spread around the desert lately."

"I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought."

Bird glanced at Marven with a hint of surprise.

Marven was silent. His legend has climbed too much, and the fact that he has borrowed heavily to open up the wilderness is even more eye-catching.

Originally, the status of an aristocrat is easy for people to spread deeds, and now Marven is basically a household name on the East Coast.

Many teenagers take Marven as an example, hoping to work hard to cultivate martial arts and join the army of pioneers.

Even if you can't become a new nobleman, you can at least be a fiefdom knight.

It is said that this time the alliance issued a reward to Marven. Not only did he have the title of viscount, but he also included the right to canonize a retainer once.

Eligibility for at least two fiefdom knights.

However, in this wild exploration campaign, Marven didn't rely too much on anyone, so it was not easy to grasp the canonization candidate for a while, so he simply shelved it.

……

After a brief negotiation between the two parties, Marven completed the initial formalities for Isabel.

Next, it's time to go to the Valley of Shadows.

There is no need for Marven to worry about this, as the Assassins' Alliance's connector in Catimue, One-Eyed Bird naturally has his own way.

Soon. Bird closed the workshop, pulled two camels out of the backyard, and left Catimuel with Marvin and Isabelle.

The three rode on camels and traveled westward. Soon, mountains appeared in the distance.

These mountains lie in the middle of the Sage Desert, making the terrain of this area even more complicated.

There is little vegetation on the mountains. Equally desolate.

Two hours later, the group of three was standing at the entrance to a valley.

Valley of Shadows.

The home of the League of Assassins.

"Let's go." Bird muttered. The first to ride a camel inside.

Marvin and Isabel followed.

In the valley, after Bird showed his pass. only to get the permission of the two men in black.

As they walked into the valley, the scenery on both sides became more beautiful.

They saw countless children fighting each other on the scorching sand, and the battle was quite fierce.

Each of them wielded a dagger.

In the end, only one child in a group can win. The rest died under the dagger.

These were the introductory tests for the Assassin's apprentice.

That's how he came back in the first place.

As an affiliate of the Southern Wizarding League, the League of Assassins is a destination for training assassins. This is an Assassin's paradise, and whatever you want to advance to, you can satisfy it.

Phantom Assassin, Ace Assassin, Blood Assassin...... Many advanced categories can be completed here.

Marven was also a Phantom Assassin who advanced here, and then finally embarked on the path of the Night Master.

The group of three eventually stopped in front of a domed building.

"Let's go in, I'll take her to the formalities."

"Since she is recommended by the nobles of the Alliance, then she is exempted from the initial test and can directly become an assassin apprentice."

"But I don't guarantee she'll survive."

Bird said with a glance at Isabel holding the clay pot.

Marven nodded.

"You can leave. Shadow Valley is not very welcoming to outsiders. Bird said to Marven, "If she dies, we'll let you know." ”

"If not, then tomorrow today, you can come and see her once."

Marven smiled: "We all know that there is another situation. ”

Bird glanced at Marven with some surprise and muttered, "Indeed...... If she can graduate early, it's a different story. ”

"You go, the guards will get impatient."

Who knew that at this time, Marven chuckled and shook his head:

"Sending her here wasn't the only reason I came to the Valley of Shadows."

"I'm going to take part in the [King of Assassins] challenge."

Before the words fell, everyone around looked at them in amazement!
