Chapter 30: The Long Night Is Coming
Oak Town is bustling with people coming and going in the evening, and the food starts to smell enticing.
And on the side of the street, warblers and swallows scrambled to pounce on the adventurers who seemed to have deep pockets.
They may have just returned from a stroll around the Chiba Forest, and they have a lot of money in their hands, and if they are well served at this time, they will tip a lot more than usual.
They may not be able to do anything else, but in terms of eyesight, prostitutes and women are not inferior to anyone.
Marvin walked down the street with a familiar feeling.
He had been to Oak Town a few times, but the familiarity was not the familiarity of the town, but the feeling of walking alone in a strange town.
Marven in his previous life was a lone ranger and didn't have many friends, but they were all good players.
Today's Marven is even more lonely. Now the only thing he can rely on is himself.
Ignoring a few prostitutes who grabbed Marven's hand and pressed it into his chest, and knocked out the hand of a thief who tried to steal his wallet, Marven crossed most of Oak Town to the easternmost point.
There was a blacksmith's shop, and the old blacksmith had a beautiful daughter, and the girl was very good at her craft, and she opened a tailor's shop next door.
The father and daughter are very popular with the people of Oak Town. The weapons created by the former have resisted many monster attacks for them, while the latter, who doesn't love young and beautiful girls?
Marven stood outside the blacksmith for a while, and noticed that there didn't seem to be anyone inside.
He hesitated and walked into the tailor shop next door.
In the tailor shop, the girl was measuring the body of a female adventurer, and when she saw Marven walking in, she greeted Marven and motioned for Marven to wait for a while.
Marven casually found a place to sit down.
After a few moments, the tailor measured the measurements, the adventurer paid the deposit, and the two parties agreed to pick up the goods in three days, and the deal was finalized.
Marven has experienced this kind of life.
In the game, he also climbs step by step from the bottom. And in this life, his identity is a nobleman, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
It's this grassroots atmosphere that makes him feel particularly comfortable.
"Do you need to buy ready-to-wear clothes, or do you need to make them made?"
The girl greeted with a smile. She has two small dimples on her face, which is very cute, and her hair is brown, just like the girl next door.
"My name is Jane, how can I help you?"
Marven got straight to the point and said, "Hello, Miss Jane, I'm here to find your father. โ
"My father?" Jane was slightly surprised: "Are you his friend?" โ
"We haven't met yet, but we've heard about it." Marven smiled.
"He's probably in the tavern now, right? It may not be back until the evening. It's been the off-season lately, and few people ask him to make ironware, so he often spends his time in taverns. โ
Jane explained.
"In the tavern?" Marven's heart moved, and he suddenly said, "If you don't mind, can I just wait for him here?" โ
"Aha?" Jane looked Marven up and down, revealing a hint of vigilance.
Does this man have any intentions for himself?
After all, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.
However, even if he wants to do something, it will not be himself who will suffer in the end!
Thinking of this, Jane showed a kind smile: "Of course." โ
Before Marven could thank him, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from behind the cabinet!
Marven was suddenly startled, got up and retreated.
It looks like a vicious dog with black fur!
"Wait! Not a vicious dog! โ
"I'm grass...... This is the Ghost Wolf! Although it is still small, it already has the strength of the first order peak! โ
Whoosh!
Marven unsheathed his knives and looked at the ghost wolf vigilantly, although it was a cub, this guy could already tear off a tiger!
In his previous life, Marven only heard some news of night walkers, and he didn't expect that this kind-looking girl actually raised a ghost wolf!
He suddenly understood.
"Damn*, this little girl is treating me like a pervert......"
Marven couldn't laugh or cry.
"Ah, sir, don't be nervous."
Jane walked out of the counter and gently touched the ghost wolf's head, revealing a sly smile:
"Xiao Hei is very obedient, he won't hurt anyone without my permission."
Looking at the ghostly wolf's fierce eyes, Marven shrugged.
Jane's implication was that if she said a word, the Nether Wolf would tear itself to shreds.
It seems that it is not easy for the little girl to make a living in Oak Town, and her beauty must have caused her a lot of trouble.
"No offense, but I really just came to your father."
"Since I'm not welcome here, I'd better go and wait at the blacksmith shop next door."
Marven put away the scimitar and turned to leave.
Jane looked at Marven's departing back with some astonishment.
"Is it really looking for my father?"
"What a strange man, why are you looking for an old drunkard?"
"Did you say?"
She rubbed the wolf's head as she muttered to herself.
โฆโฆ
The blacksmith shop was a mess and dusty.
The girl was right, it was indeed the off-season, and there was no need for weapons, and the old blacksmith naturally had no work to do.
Marven casually found a corner and began to wait patiently.
As the minutes ticked by, it grew dark. Soon, the blacksmith shop was nowhere to be seen.
Marven still waited.
Jane came over once during this period, saying that the old blacksmith was probably spending the night in the tavern and asked Ma Wenming to come back tomorrow, but Marven thanked her for her kindness and was still waiting.
A night walker who only shows his edge when night falls.
In the darkness, there was a faint sound of footsteps.
Marven quietly opened the hiding.
The dim light came from a distance, and an old man staggered back to his house with an oil lamp.
He entered, hung the oil lamp aside, and locked the door of the blacksmith's shop.
Marven held his breath, but his heartbeat accelerated a little.
The most important and difficult part of this advancement is tonight.
The old man stumbled to the weapon table and grabbed an iron sword.
He looked sluggish in his movements.
"That's not right!"
In the dim light, Marven saw the old man's shoulders shaking violently for the first time!
This is a precursor to force.
He didn't think at all, and a wolf bรจi rolled incomparably and dodged from where it had been!
Bang Bang!
The old man's speed was as fast as the wind, and he slashed at the location where Marven had just been!
He didn't look drunk at all.
Although the room was dim, he still stared at Marven at a glance.
Marven swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stole a glance at where he had just been sitting.
There was a deep mark on the ground, it was the most ordinary iron sword, and it had such power in the old man's hand.
He must still have kept his strength, if he attacked with all his might...... Marven can't imagine!
"Yes, I can find the flaws in what I deliberately sold to you." The old man said with a blank face, "But this is not enough. โ
"What are you looking for me?"
"Advanced." Marven gets straight to the point.
"Few people know who I am. Who sued you? The old man dropped his iron sword and lay down on a wooden bed in the corner of the room.
"Hearsay."
Marven had already prepared his lines. It's just that this line is a bit unreliable.
"Hearsay?" The old man sneered.
"If hearsay can find me, won't those who want me die come to me every day?"
Marven shrugged: "I just want to be a better Ranger." โ
"There are too many advanced rangers, and in front of them is the forest of Chiba, maybe you can try several advanced classes of the elves."
The old man was indifferent.
"The rest of the professions will eventually decline."
Marven slowly pulled out his double knives and said seriously: "You and I both know that the long night is coming. โ
[The Long Night is Coming]. Proverbs of the Night Walker Organization.
The old man suddenly got up from the bed and stared at Marven: "Who are you?" โ
"I see some future." Marven said calmly, "The same is true for Lord Hathaway. Those prophecies that have been handed down for thousands of years are about to come true. โ
"Is it Hathaway......
The old man was a little relieved.
"Another one who woke up. The world is getting more and more chaotic. โ
"However, it is not a bad thing to have one more day awakened among the night walkers."
"Come with me, young man."
With that, he took Marven and pushed open the back door of the blacksmith shop.
(Thank you for the reward from the book friend [Kunpeng Emperor].) The long night is coming, and I am anxious to ask for a recommendation ticket, a Sanjiang ticket, and the book friends who didn't join the group hurriedly added it. ๏ผ
