Chapter 16 (1/2)

Marvin got rich overnight fro

He was never stingy when it caht places Anyways, those silvers weren’t wasted, as they would turn to scrap metal after the collapse of the currency system in the Calae the useful

Especially those wizard golds They were even more valuable, so it would be a waste if they weren’t used before the collapse of the southern cities’ currency system

Marvin was fully aware of this, so before he left River Shore City he disguised hiuild

The ranger guild was actually a sienerally remained neutral and would occasionally do some business

Marvin checked the ranger guild quest board and it didn’t have the [Clean up the Scarlet Monastery] quest that would appear half a year later Thisto thee As for that sleeping half-God lich, Marvin already had a plan

People said that he failed to reach Godhood and fell into a deep sleep, but in fact, he only failed at the last moment He had successfully formed a divinity

And right now, that divinity was quietly sitting inside the underground maze of the Scarlet Monastery

Marvin wanted this divinity, but not right now, as his current strength was too weak; that sleeping half-God lich would kill him in mere seconds

The ranger guild had a wizard alliance alchee amount of money there to buy an essential item The most important Void Conch

[Void Conch]

Quality: Uncommon

Capacity: Four cubic chi¹ empty space

Requireence

(T/N: 1 chi = 0,33 meter)

This clearly was a storage itee item because its raw material itself contained some dimension space It only needed to be refined a bit and it would turn into a decent ic item

This thing was obviously worth a lot, and Marvin spent 3 wizard golds on it

Storage items were very expensive like uncommon items

Another thing worthwas the [Wishful Rope] It too was an unco 1600 silvers, far cheaper than the void conch

This was a h elf Based on its various kinds of enchantments, this rope could display all sorts of effects This was adventurers’ most wanted equipment

Unfortunately, the average adventurer couldn’t afford uncoht not be able to earn that much in their lifetime

Marvin was different, buying the wishful rope while not thinking tooon this equipment to enter the scarlet monastery

Without it, he would be unable to pass the ate pain monk

Hall e, on a nameless peak

Marvin, with twin blades in hands and the void conch around his neck, carefully treaded on the rough and uneven mountain path

Feinan’s wilderness was quite a dangerous place Although it wasn’t too bad right now, after the calamity, the wilderness would be filled with monsters infected by chaotic mana These creatures would be called devils They were a lot stronger than they originally were, and more blood-thirsty

A lot of cities even fell under those monsters’ destructive power

From Marvin’s memories, River Shore City was one of the few southern city states that hadn’t been overcome by the monsters The reason was simple: River Shore in the south and Jewel Bay in the north both had a large scale influx of players With the help of the players they fought back the large amount of monsters and thus River Shore City was saved

But this tiold children” players praised by all the natives ht not be there this time

If that was the case, the problem hether River Shore City was able to defend itself with its oer

But River Shore City was still a relatively safe place before the calamity Especially this ht suppression, the creatures still possessed a bit of animal instinct and wouldn’t draw close

This actually let Marvin’s burdens decrease

Marvin followed a small path and was soon in front of a valley surrounded by dense fog That place was the Scarlet Monastery main entrance

Two 2an iron rod were sole far in the distance as if they were statues

In fact, they weren’t living beings, but once an outsider approached, they would be activated by the lich’s enchantic

At that time, Marvin would need to face two 3rd rank adventurers [Monk lvl5 – Ascetic Monk lvl 5 – Pain Monk lvl 2]

Pain Monksof the best out of the 3rd rank classes Not to mention the half-God lich who castedbuff If you wanted to get rid of these guys you had to be at least legend level

Or send an army of 2nd rank adventurers In some cases, Human wave tactics could be quite useful

Marvin wasn’t intending to go through the main entrance, and instead planned to take a shortcut

The Scarlet Monastery was built in a valley in the middle of sheer cliffs, with no suitable places to climb

But there was always an exception
