Chapter 148: Expected and Unexpected
Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation
In the afternoon, the news of Lord Marvin coming back with eleven golden bulls spread through the entire territory.
According to those who went to look, each golden bull could spew out endless amounts of food.
And Lord Marvin was the only one able to make those bulls spit food by using a mysterious technique.
As if to confirm the rumor, before night fell, each household near the castle received a lot of food from the guards.
That food could last until fall.
As for the few remote farmer households, Marvin announced that they would soon receive their food too.
Soon, the people of White River Valley were all excited.
Such a big food issue was settled by the magical Lord Marvin just like that!
Marvin’s prestige in the territory rose straight up, even surpassing his father’s, and catching up with that of his grandfather, who was a Wizard!
But not everyone was happy about it.
There were always some unstable factors in the territory.
Some people discreetly spread the news out. That evening, some stories of Baron Marvin and the eleven golden bulls were spread through some taverns of River Shore City.
If Old Tucker and that 3rd rank Wizard knew, they might have died from anger.
They had schemed to protect Marvin, but didn’t expect that he would directly swagger back to his territory with the golden bulls.
Even if doing so could increase the territory’s morale, it would also leave clues to track down!
The other Officer Cleric might not know about the eleven golden bulls’ origins, but the Crimson Patriarch definitely knew.
Because these eleven golden bulls were enchanted by King Cobra on his orders.
Once this news reached his ear, Marvin and the entire White River Valley would fall into a huge crisis!
Naturally, ordinary people wouldn’t know this.
Even Anna and the garrison’s members were deeply impressed by Marvin’s amazing performance and didn’t think too much about it.
But it was different for Marvin.
...
Late at night, in the study.
Marvin silently took out a special candle and very carefully lit it.
The candle gently burned and the glow formed a vague pattern.
A few chaotic noises were emitted.
After a while, an impatient voice was transmitted from it.
”Why did you look for me this quickly? Is something up?”
This was the voice of the old blacksmith.
Like the Twin Snakes Cult, the Night Walker organization also had their own communication method.
This special candle was very precious, and could allow one to communicate with the chosen Night Walker from long distance.
Marvin composed himself and said, ”Obviously I have good reason for looking for you.”
”In fact, it’s about the Crimson Patriarch.”
”I have a plan, I need your help.”
The old blacksmith was silent for a moment before saying, ”Talk.”
”I need you to contact that Night Walker chasing the Crimson Patriarch!”
Marvin calmly said, ”I already have a plan ready, but I need the strength of the organization.”
...
Ten minutes later, Marvin’s candle burned out.
When he was in the underground river this morning, Marvin had carefully thought about this problem.
Should he secretly carry those eleven golden bulls back to White River Valley, or do it out in the open?
The latter would surely attract the attention of the Twin Snakes Cult.
And since Marvin transmigrated, he was always careful about fighting with this kind of large evil power openly.
He had also carefully considered when he took away that Fearless set.
But while he was floating on the underground river, he recalled the conversation between King Cobra and the Crimson Patriarch!
At that time, the Crimson Patriarch seemed to be hunted down by a Night Walker.
Marvin suddenly realized that the current him wasn’t that loner from the game anymore. He had actually forgotten that his current self was no longer that unsociable Ruler of the Night.
The current Marvin was a Night Walker with an organization, and he also had quite a few friends.
Even if his strength was a bit lacking, the forces he could mobilize were sufficient to bury the Crimson Patriarch!
He carefully thought it through for a very long time before making a bold decision!
And that was to openly bring the eleven golden bulls back into his territory.
Thus, the news would soon spread. The Crimson Patriarch would definitely come to the White River Valley.
Marvin knew that based on the Crimson Patriarch’s level of ability, even if that Legend Night Walker and Legend Druid teamed up, they wouldn’t be able to catch him. If he was unable to beat them, he would definitely run away.
If the Crimson Patriarch escaped, that Night Walker would definitely be very annoyed.
With all this in mind, Marvin came forth with his daring plan!
Use himself and White River Valley as a bait.
Force the Crimson Patriarch to make a move.
This plan was very bold, but worth trying. If it succeeded, Marvin’s status among the Night Walkers would definitely rise.
And he would also solve a huge hidden danger, and receive a lot of benefits.
If he failed… Then what awaited Marvin and White River Valley would be the Twin Snakes Cult’s vicious retaliations.
But Marvin was confident that if everything went according to his plan, that nearly immortal Crimson Patriarch who was complained about by countless players would certainly lose his life in White River Valley.
‘After all, he still doesn’t have that thing yet,’ Marvin secretly thought.
...
The next day, Marvin sent a trusted guard to Black Dock Harbor to find Lola, telling him of the Spider Crypt’s path.
The others kept going from house to house to distribute the wheat from the first golden bull to the territory’s inhabitants.
Marvin roughly estimated that a single golden bull stored enough wheat for White River Valley to last more than a year!
