Chapter 16: The Void Conch

After single-handedly destroying the Akron gang, Marven became rich overnight.

He has never been stingy with his money, especially where it is necessary. Anyway, those silver coins are not spent now, and the collapse of the monetary system caused by the cataclysm in half a year will also turn them into a pile of scrap metal, so it is better to exchange them for something useful.

Especially those wizard gold coins. They are much more valuable, and it would be a waste not to go out before the collapse of the monetary system of the southern city-states.

Marven knew this, so before he left Riverbeach City, he disguised himself as a ranger guild.

The Ranger Guild is actually a very simple organization, with some tasks, neutral nature, and occasionally some business.

Marven checked the task bar of the Ranger Guild, and there was no task to clear the Scarlet Monastery that appeared half a year later - which meant that the group of Scarlet Attendants were still relatively safe now, and their strength was still under control - as for the sleeping demigod lich, Marven had already hit him with his mind.

Legend has it that he failed to become a god and fell into a deep sleep, but in fact he only failed at the last moment. He succeeded in condensing the Godhead.

And that godhead is now lying quietly in the underground labyrinth of the Crimson Abbey.

This godhead Marven is determined to win, but not now, his strength is too weak now, even a sleeping demigod is enough to kill him in seconds.

……

The Ranger Guild owns the Alchemist's House counter of the Wizarding Alliance, where he spends a lot of money on necessities. The most important of these is a Void Conch.

【Void Conch】

Quality: Shimmer

Accommodation: Four-foot cube space

Requirements: Intelligence 1o

Obviously, this is a storage item. The Void Conch is the most common of all storage items, as its raw material, the Azure Conch, contains several dimensions of space and can be turned into a full-fledged alchemy product with only a little processing.

Of course, this thing is worth a lot of money, and it cost Marven 3 Wizard Gold Coins!

It is also a low-light item, and storage equipment is always more expensive.

Another thing worth mentioning is the Ruyi Rope. It is also a Shimmer product, and the price is 16oo silver coins, which is a lot cheaper than the Void Conch.

It is a versatile rope that is said to have been created by the High Elves, and according to various spells, the rope can be used in multiple ways, making it one of the most desired equipment for adventurers.

It's a pity that ordinary adventurers can't afford to buy Shimmer items.

More than a thousand silver coins, they may not have earned so much money in their lifetime.

Marven was naturally different, he didn't have much time to think about buying the Ruyi Rope, because this equipment was the most important thing for him to enter the Scarlet Monastery.

Without it, he would not have been able to pass the level of the suffering monks at the gate of the monastery.

……

The remnants of the Hall Mountains, on a nameless mountain.

Marven carried two knives in his hand and a void conch around his neck, and walked cautiously on the rugged mountain road.

The wilderness of Fanan's world is quite a dangerous place. But fortunately, after the cataclysm, the mortal world is full of monsters infected by the magic of chaos, these creatures are called monsters, and they have more destructive power than before, and they are more bloodthirsty.

Even many cities were destroyed under the impact of these monsters.

Riverbeach City, in Marven's memory, was one of the few southern city-states that had not been captured by monsters. The reason is simple, this is the same place as Gem Bay in the north, which is the birthplace of large players. The power from the players helped to resist a large number of monsters, and Riverbeach City was saved.

But in this life, Marven has a faint premonition in his heart that those players who are praised as "golden children" by the aborigines may not appear again.

In this way, it is still a question whether Riverbeach City can hold it on its own.

However, before the cataclysm, the vicinity of Riverbeach City was relatively safe. Especially on this mountain, because of the faint suppression of the godhead, creatures with the slightest animal instinct will not approach.

This has relieved Marven of a lot of burden.

Marven walked along the path, and soon, a misty valley appeared in front of him.

There, the main entrance to the Scarlet Abbey.

Two painful monks, who were more than two meters tall, stood solemnly with iron rods in their hands. Looking at it from afar, it looks like a statue.

In fact, they weren't animate things in the first place, but if an outsider approached them, they would be activated by the lich's magic.

At that time, what Marven needs to face are two third-order professionals with a career level of [Warrior Monk 5/Ascetic 5/Pain Monk 2]!

The Melee Abilities of the Monk of Pain are among the best in the third-tier classes, not to mention the curses that the demigod lich has thrown at them - each curse is a level BuFF, and if you want to kill these two guys head-on, you have to at least have a legendary-level person to take action.

Or a second-order professional with a legion.

In some cases, crowd tactics can be useful.

……

Marven wasn't going to enter through the main entrance, he was copying the backyard path.

The Scarlet Monastery was built in a valley lined with cliffs and no place to climb.

But there are exceptions.

Marven knew that there was a goblin cave, and after eliminating a few goblins entrenched inside, he would be able to find a small platform that protruded.

Then, using the Ruyi Rope, he was able to parachute into the Crimson Monastery.

It's just a bit risky.

In addition to the scarlet attendants in the Scarlet Monastery, there are also monsters such as demon god executors. The Scarlet Acolytes have a fixed range of movement, and the Demon God Executors, these guys like to move out of bounds and often run around, adding a lot of uncertainty to Marven's infiltration plans.

But what doesn't need to be risked?

Marven skirted the valley and found a sheep gut trail that winded up the mountain.

Half an hour later, he found a hidden entrance behind a haystack.

Goblin Cave. There are often six to eight goblins hidden inside, ranging in number. They may have weapons in their hands, but most of them are crude weapons, mainly clubs.

The average level of a goblin is about level 2, and only those large goblin tribes can have a first-order goblin class.

Before Marven took office, he might not be able to beat even a goblin. But now, after the Battle of the Pyroxene Tavern, he has already raised his Ranger level to level 4. Diafez and his men teamed up to contribute a lot of killing experience, so much so that Marven quickly became a fourth-level ranger.

And just a few days ago, he was a powerless aristocrat. This kind of rocket-like upgrade, if others know about it, will definitely be shocked.

Marven now has 9o HP, and he has bought a suitable leather armor from the Ranger Guild to resist some attacks and ensure that his dexterity is not affected. This upgrade also earns 24 Skill Points, so his Skill Points have accumulated to 42.

Marven allocated 2o of these points to the new skill [Climbing].

In fact, to use the ropes to enter the Crimson Monastery, you need at least 3o points of climbing skills. However, the Ruyi Rope has a hidden attribute that reduces the climbing skill requirement by 1o points, so Marven only allocated 2o points. The remaining 22 points for later use.

……

He pushed aside the grass and stooped in.

Using flint to light a simple torch also purchased from the Ranger Guild, a flash of fire appears in the cave.

A strange scream came from the depths of the cavern.

Marven had a torch in his left hand and a scimitar in his right hand, and he unceremoniously killed it.

Half a minute later, in the depths of the goblin cave, several green-skinned corpses lay on the ground.

These goblins are savages, uncivilized in intelligence, and there is no way to reason with them. Their strength is low, and they quickly turn into corpses under Marven's scimitar.

Goblin caves have a rancid stench peculiar to this creature.

Most people just leave. But Marven still carefully searched the neighborhood to see if there were treasure chests or loot or something.

He knew that goblins were usually poor, but he couldn't rule out surprises.

Extra attention can sometimes be unexpected.

Marvin finds a complete chest in the corner of the goblin cave.

The chest was locked, and the copper lock looked as if it had been broken by brute force - no guess, it must have been the work of the goblins.

"There's silt on the crates, probably dug up from some nearby swamp."

"The copper lock has an enchantment on it, it's a magic lock. However, the magic aura is very faint, and the level will not be very high. ”

"What's hidden in there?"

Marven hesitated for a moment and took out a small stack of scrolls from the Void Conch.

This type of scroll is very valuable, and it is called [Low-level Lockpicking Scroll], which is used in place of the Thief's lockpicking skills.

There are two types of lock-picking scrolls, one for ordinary locks and one for magic locks, the latter being particularly expensive. Marven bought ten scrolls to open ordinary locks, and as for the scrolls used to open magic locks, he only bought five.

In the Crimson Monastery, there are many locations where treasure chests are hidden. Marven's goal is these hidden treasure chests.

He wasn't sure if the goblin chest in front of him was worth it for him to use a low-level scroll that opened a magic lock.

"Anyway, in my memory, before the second hall, it seems that only three treasure chests were magic locks, and the rest were ordinary locks."

"There is a [Corpse Seeker] with a keen sense of smell wandering in the second hall, and I will definitely not dare to go over to my level now."

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Marven made up his mind and tore off a low-level lockpicking scroll that opened magic locks.

A pale white key flew out of the paper and inserted it into the brass lock.

Ding-dong. The lock is open.

Marven listened attentively, there should be no mechanism inside, but for the sake of caution, he still stood at a distance and picked open the treasure chest with a branch.

There were no vicious traps in the chest.

Marven breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over.

I saw a few yellowed pieces of parchment lying quietly in the three-foot-sized treasure chest, as well as a blue gem.
