Chapter 18: The Headless Girl

Good luck.

In the first room, there is a treasure chest.

Although these chests look old, the contents rarely lose their usefulness as time passes.

Marven bent down and shook the wooden box slightly.

He didn't have the two major skills of [Removing Traps] and [Unlocking], so Yiqiē could only be judged based on his experience.

Clearing traps is a Ranger skill and is very important in teamwork, especially in dungeons. But Marven is not prepared to do this, and it is not cost-effective to waste valuable skill points in this area. And lockpicking is the thief's own skill, ranger and thief are both [Wanderer] professions, you can learn [lockpicking] across professions, but you need to consume double the skill points, which is even less cost-effective for Marven.

In the face of ordinary treasure chests, low-level lockpicking scrolls can solve the problem. Why use skill points to solve problems that can be solved with money?

There was a slight sound coming from the wooden box.

Marven listened.

"There should be no traps either."

"Just plain locks."

He tore open a normal lock-picking scroll and opened the copper lock.

Then, in the spirit of caution, he still used the branch he carried with him to open the wooden box.

Sou!

A dart flew out of the wooden box and slammed into the mud wall.

Marven frowned slightly.

My own judgment will actually be invalid, sure enough, without some [listening] skills, it is difficult to show these tricky little traps by hearing alone?

Thankfully, I was cautious enough.

He leaned over and examined the dart.

The edges of the darts are dark green, apparently quenched. He knew this kind of dart, and on the eastern islands, there was a special profession - ninjas, and one of their signature weapons was this kind of dart.

"So, this is a treasure chest left behind by ninjas?"

Marven took out the contents of the box, and there was only a thin book inside. There are a few words written in the lingua franca on it.

"Introductory Hidden Weapon Explanation".

"It's actually a skill book!"

"And it's a ninja's skill book."

Marven's eyelids jumped, skill books have always been something that can be met but not sought. In his previous life, as a Night Lord, he had fought against some ninjas.

Although those players eventually hated him, Marven was still impressed by the ninjas' endless hidden weapons.

This "Introduction to Hidden Weapons", after learning, you can master one to three ways to use introductory hidden weapons.

The study of skill books is only related to the learner's personal qualities, and has no requirements for their profession.

For example, theoretically, a Berserker who picks up a skill book from Hand of Fire can learn the sorcery if he's smart enough and has a certain base of spells - but in fact, you and I both know that with Berserker's mind, it's basically nothing to do with spells.

And the hidden weapon masters this kind of thing, which has relatively high requirements for agility. Because it requires a strong gripe on every part of the body. It is difficult for ordinary people to get started for a while.

But for Marven, this qiē is not a problem.

He has a strong body control, and it shouldn't take long to learn the secret weapon.

He put the valuable skill book away, and there was nothing else left in the box.

So he started stealthing again and left the room.

Who knew that at this time, in his afterglow, a faint white shadow suddenly flew by!

What the hell!

Marven was shocked, and when he looked at it, the place was empty and empty.

Is it a hallucination?

Ma Wenyan sù up.

He checked his battle records and personal stats again, but found nothing.

By this time the sky had already darkened, and the moonlight was not so bright under the influence of the fog.

He has no dark vision and is limited in what he can see. However, the same is true of the scarlet attendants, who have candles lit in their houses, which greatly facilitates Marven's assassination.

The white shadow...... What exactly is it?

Marven felt a little hairy in his heart. He had never experienced anything like it.

The place is quirky. It looks like the battle is going to be decided.

Marven reminded himself that he must be vigilant at all times, and then came to the door of the second room.

It's pitch black in this room, and there shouldn't be any scarlet attendants.

He pushed the door open and slipped inside.

……

There are eighteen rooms in total. There are ten Crimson Attendants in total.

It took Marven almost two hours to empty the eighteen rooms.

This allowed him to gain 9o points of Kill XP and six treasure chests. Of the six chests, only one is a magic lock, and the rest are all normal locks.

In addition to the hidden weapon skill book, the remaining four ordinary treasure chests contributed him a bag of gold bars, a necklace, an unknown potion, and an ancient book that recorded the history of the Crimson Abbey.

This ancient book, Marven had obtained it in his previous life, this book seems to be ordinary, but in fact it contains a huge secret of the Scarlet Abbey.

It's just that this secret, like the sleeping lich, requires a certain amount of strength to explore. Marven carefully put away the ancient books.

Gold bars are of high purity, and can be exchanged for a lot of wealth in any city, and money has always been a good thing.

This potion is the same thing as the azure gemstones, it is something that needs to be identified. Marven is not a pharmacist, so naturally there is no way to identify it.

The only thing that came in handy right away was the necklace:

【Traces of the Moon (Necklace)】

Quality: Shimmer

Effect: Moonlight vision +5o

- May the gaze of Vanya accompany you

Requirements: Intelligence 14

……

Vania is the name of the moon god.

The intelligence requirement of 14 o'clock was just met by Marven, and he did not hesitate to wear this necklace.

[You are wearing the Marks of the Moon......]

[Moonlight Vision +5o......]

Two points of clear light flashed in Marven's eyes. Everywhere the dim moonlight reached, Marven could clearly see something!

That's the benefit of the extra 5o moonlight vision!

There are many types of vision, the most common being the daylight vision – that is, the ordinary field of vision. Marven's race is human, and the daylight vision is also a very mediocre 1oo point.

This means that in a flat place, with plenty of sunlight, Marven can distinguish between creatures within 1ooo meters - roughly that is, people or animals.

The Ranger has a more powerful skill called [Distance Vision], which allows the Ranger to see farther beyond the limits of humans.

However, this skill is limited to daylight vision.

Corresponding to the daylight vision, there is a moonlight vision and a dark vision. In both respects, there is no bonus for the mediocre race of humans. Humans' moonlight vision is 1o points, and dark vision is a pitiful 1 point. Some have poor eyesight, and the dark vision is almost o.

The application range of the moonlight field of vision is relatively narrow, but as long as there is moonlight, it can be wielded.

All in all, Marven is still very satisfied with the effect of this shimmer necklace.

At least it will be much easier to walk on moonlit nights later.

……

In front of Marven was the last magic lock treasure chest.

This magic lock chest is a bit tricky. Because he's tried twice just now, using up two magic locks to open the scroll, but both failed.

There is a certain probability of failure to unlock with a lock-picking scroll. In this case, it is easier to manifest this on the magic lock.

He still has two scrolls in his hand that open the magic lock, but the problem is that one magic lock can only be opened three times with the scroll.

If it fails the third time, the scroll will not be valid for the chest.

Marven had a bit of a headache.

Do you gamble your luck now, or do you take the chest back and buy a higher-level magic lock to open the scrolls?

"Forget it, it's better to be on the safe side, let's take the box back."

This box is not big, and it can barely fit in the Void Conch.

It's just that when he was about to stuff the box into the Void Conch, he was stunned, he couldn't stuff it in!

"Space repulsion!?"

"What's in this box? Rejecting space items? ”

"Or is it that the box itself has the property of repelling space items?"

This is a good thing, there is no way to bring the box back, and Marven can only bet one last time.

Tearing off the last magic lock to open the scroll, he waited silently for the result.

The pale blue magic key automatically inserted into the lock hole, and suddenly there was a click.

"Success?"

Marven was slightly pleased.

Who knew that in the next second, the key would suddenly collapse automatically!

The magic lock shuddered and returned to calm.

Still can't it be opened?

Marven was a little depressed. There must be something good in this box, but I can't take it out, it's really troublesome.

A cloudy wind blew.

Marven suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"It's that white shadow again!"

"It's been following me!"

Marven turned around suddenly, and the scimitar was quietly in his hand!

Only this time, what he saw was no longer an empty space, but a fierce bright light!

[Bright Light Technique]!

"Despicable tricks!"

Marven closed his eyes as soon as the light appeared, and his fighting instincts helped him make the most correct choice!

He didn't retreat, but rushed forward with two knives in his hand!

The scimitar has long been smeared with holy water, no matter what kind of demons and monsters it is, it can't be resisted!

"Wait......"

"I don't want to hurt you."

A timid voice sounded: "Can you keep your eyes closed?" I don't want you to see me the way I am. ”

"I don't want anyone to see me the way I am."

Marven's actions are sluggish!

It's clearly a girl's voice!

"Don't open your eyes!"

Marven opened his eyes, and a white shadow suddenly swept away.

"You can't see me, you'll be damned!"

The girl's voice became urgent.

Marven clenched the scimitar and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

His palms were slightly sweaty.

It was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing. When I came to the Scarlet Monastery before, it didn't seem to have any such incidents, huh?

Could it be an event that only those who enter the monastery for the first time can touch?

"My name is Valissa."

The voice came from behind Marven: "They called me...... Headless girl. ”

Headless Girl...... Valissa?!

Marven seemed to remember something.
