Chapter XXXVII: The Age of Faynand
Sheehan is worthy of the title of First Aid Master, and seems to be not only a blacksmith, but also a doctor.
Soon, he completed the treatment of Marvin's ankle.
Although Marvin still has to walk on crutches, he is expected to recover in two or three days.
This result is already very good, and if the problem of breaking the muscles and bones is not cured, there will be sequelae in many cases.
And in this regard, the strong side of the Night Walker organization is on display.
Although there are only eighteen people left, Sheen, as the former leader, still has a lot of good things.
Includes some magic scrolls and some secret potions.
These drugs are very valuable, but he did not hesitate to use them on Marven.
Judging from these moves, he has decided to take Marven as his apprentice.
Yes, apprenticeship.
After completing the first test, Marvin learns from Sheehan that the process of becoming a Night Walker is far more complicated than he knows.
He is currently still in his apprenticeship, and only after completing the one-year test can he officially advance to the Night Walker!
One year is too long for Marven!
This is something he simply did not expect!
If he had known that the Nightwalker's apprenticeship was one year, he would not have been able to advance in this direction.
However, Sheehan seemed to see Marven's anxiety, and opened his mouth to comfort him.
After listening to Sheehan's explanation, Marven breathed a sigh of relief.
I see.
……
For the next two days, Marven recuperated in the blacksmith shop. During this time, he met Jane, the old blacksmith's daughter, who was embarrassed to apologize to him.
"So you really came to find my father, I thought ......"
The girl said a little shyly.
"It doesn't matter. It's a good thing for girls to be more vigilant. By the way, the oatmeal you cook is delicious. ”
Marven said with a smile.
Jane's face flushed, and she made an excuse to slip away. Marven doesn't care, he's not here to pick up girls, it's good if he can learn Sheen's craft.
But then again, there seems to be a shortage of skilled seamstresses in the territory, right?
……
Two days later, with the help of various secret medicines organized by the Night Walkers, Marven was completely cured.
He regained his health and was alive again.
Seeing this, Sheen nodded at Marven and motioned for him to get ready.
Because the test of the second ring is coming.
Late at night.
The backyard of the blacksmith's shop.
"I didn't expect there to be a basement here."
Marven followed the old blacksmith Sheehan into the basement.
The tunnel is a spiral staircase, lined with candles that flicker and flicker. The atmosphere was very eerie.
It was as if someone was singing an ancient song in the distance.
"The Night Walkers are a secret organization, and not many people know about our existence." Old Sheehan's answer was blunt.
"Including your daughter?" Marven asked.
"Boy, if you dare to say a word about the night walker in front of Jian Mian, believe me, although I have now lost most of my abilities, I can still pinch you to death several times." The old blacksmith snorted coldly.
Marven shrugged, unafraid of the old blacksmith's threat: "Jane is not a fool, on the contrary, she is very smart. You can't hide it from him. ”
The old blacksmith was silent for a moment and shook his head: "I just don't want her to be involved in too much right and wrong. ”
"For a girl like her, it's good to live a peaceful life."
Marven sighed and said, "It's hard. ”
"Honestly, what did you kid see?" The old blacksmith couldn't help but ask, "Hathaway saw the demise, what about you?" ”
"A catastrophe." Marven did not shy away from it: "No one is immune. If you want Jian An to live in peace for the rest of your life, I'm afraid Oak Town is not a place to live for long. ”
Sheehan glanced at Marven suspiciously, and finally said:
"Here we are."
……
It has indeed arrived.
At the end of the stairs is a small narrow room.
In one corner of the room, there is a dark mural.
The content on the mural is very monotonous, with only a pair of eyes, and under the eyes, there is a faint brilliance.
In the midst of the light, there were countless bones, and the people on the bones were struggling and wailing.
Although it is only a very simple painting, it has a great impact on Marven's vision!
"It's ......"
"This is the scene of people struggling in the eternal night in ancient times." "The Night Lord came out of the darkness to protect the creatures of Fernan from monsters and outsiders. ”
"Ancient times?" Marven was stunned for a moment.
He didn't really know much about the Night King. There is very little information in the game, and it seems that it will only be available in the next few expansions.
At least at the time Marven crossed, the Night King's true body had not yet appeared.
As far as Marven knows, the history of Fernan's civilization is almost composed of four epochs.
The First Age, the Chaos Period. Before the arrival of Lance, the god of wizards, Fernan's magic overflowed, and the power of order and chaos overlapped to give birth to life.
During the Age of Chaos, day and night often have a long reversal. For example, for four or five years in a row, it was all night.
That is, the legendary eternal night.
The King of the Night seems to be a character who appeared in this era. Some say he is a demon from the abyss, while others say he is one of the doppelgangers of the wizarding god Lance.
But in fact, it seems that the records of the Night King predate Lance, the wizarding god.
The Chaos Era ended after the arrival of Lance, the wizarding god.
Lance made the Holy Grail and created the Cosmic Magic Pool, which tilted the whole world towards order.
At this time, the first natural deity was born - that is, the elven ancient god, and his name was Wo. Vaugh is one of the High Elves of Fernan, who has become an Elven Ancient God through some unknown means, and he has an excellent relationship with Lance.
At that time, Lance seemed to be busy fighting some monsters from other dimensions who coveted Fernan. He handed over Fernan to Waugh for the time being.
So the High Elves rose up and dominated a qiē. This is the glorious Second Age. With the exception of elves, the rest are lower races.
The Elven Old God didn't like this situation, so he left Fernan, helped Lance fend off foreign enemies, and then fell into a deep sleep.
This was followed by the departure of the High Elves and the Tertiary Age. It was also in this era that three Fatestone tablets appeared in a row.
Those who have obtained the shards of the tablets have become gods.
Those gods in the divine realm, except for some natural gods, that is, the first generation of ancient gods, most of the gods were formed by relying on the power of the Tablet of Destiny in the Third Age.
After that, the wizarding god Lance returned to Faynand, established the wizarding order, and humanity rose.
In the Fourth Age, the Wizard God left again, and this time, he seemed to be gone completely.
The gods who rose up in the Third Age began to get restless.
Because there is a prophecy that the fourth Tablet of Destiny is inside the cosmic magic pool. Only by breaking it will it appear above Faynand.
So the end of the bloody Quaternary period slowly kicked off.
……
These memories slowly passed through Marven's mind.
The pair of deep eyes seemed to become a little more vivid.
"Let's go. A one-year apprenticeship, and hopefully you can endure it. ”
"I can tell you clearly, the name of this level is patience!"
Sheehan pressed one hand on one of the eyes and motioned for Marven to do the same.
Then he began to mumble a spell that Marven didn't understand at all.
The incantation was complex and took three minutes to recite it.
Suddenly, Marven only felt that his palms were hot, and a powerful attraction came from his eyes!
His whole being was sucked into the mural!
……
It's pitch black.
Marvin has dark vision, but here, he can't see anything!
This is the Eternal Night Paradise! A half-plane belonging to the Night King!
That's right, Marven will have to spend the next year of his apprenticeship in this half-plane!
The only good news is that the time of Eternal Nightland is not the same as that of Fanan.
A year here is the equivalent of a day in Fanan!
It is precisely because of this that Marven decided to continue the advancement of the Night Walker. Otherwise, he would have to go back to the Three Rings Tower first to solve the problem of the Holy Grail battle.
It's just that even so, this year has been very difficult.
Because time is on Marven, it is constantly passing.
"What do I need to do?" Marven asked.
Sheehan's voice came from afar: "You are my apprentice, of course you will do whatever I do." ”
"What do you do?" Marven was a little confused.
Bang Bang!
The crunch of metal could be heard in the distance.
"I'm a blacksmith." Sheehan replied:
"Come on, young man, for the next year you'll be with the furnace and the hammer!"
