The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 33 Assassination (Part 2)
After receiving the kill prompt, Marvin turned around and rolled.
Pah pah pah...
Seven or eight crossbow arrows shot at the ground, stone pillars and Marvin of the sentry tower, and a few more white spots appeared on the ice-blue scales.
Large crossbows were mounted on racks and could not shoot into the adjacent sentry towers, otherwise, Marvin would not have been so relaxed.
When he stood up, there was a piece of parchment under Marvin's feet...
He casually swung the crossbow in the sentry tower, woo~bang, clatter...
The rolling crossbow knocked the five guards who came over to the alley. Marvin jumped off the sentry tower and ran towards the alley opposite the quarantine area.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Countless crossbow arrows shot at him, including a giant crossbow more than one meter long.
No matter whether he could hit it or not, he would shoot the arrows first, and the guilt would be less. There are no fools in the guards.
Marvin teleported forward more than ten meters again, crossed the 300-meter-wide isolation zone in a few seconds, and entered the alley.
From showing up, to climbing the wall, sniping, and finally evacuating into the alley, it took no more than 15 seconds in total.
However, the escape was not over yet, and this was still the core area of the Golden Tower City.
...
Bang!
The wooden door of the warehouse was smashed from the inside, wood chips flew, and the rusty iron lock hit the stone wall opposite with a bang.
A black shadow rushed into the street across the cart!
"Ah!... My sun!" The porter was shocked and sighed, looking at the big black horse going away.
Click, click...
Accompanied by the screams and curses of pedestrians on the road, an extremely majestic black horse galloped on the cobblestone road, its black satin-like fur and the metal horn on the horse's blinders sparkled.
A raven landed on the horse's head and croaked: "Turn left, turn left!"
Ned turned left sharply at the next intersection, the horse's body tilted at a 40-degree angle, and the huge hoof stepped over the wall at the corner, almost breaking the wooden wall.
"Ah~~!" A noble lady standing by the road screamed, watching the big black horse knock her husband away.
Flutter, the raven flew up in shock and continued to lead the way.
Puff~, Ned shook his head and sprayed a puff of white mist, speeding up again.
...
Marvin ran eastward along the road as planned.
To the north was the Alba River. Although there was a bridge, it was easy to be intercepted and he could not escape to the north.
To the south was not only the palace, but also a military academy. He would not run south.
To the west was the sea, a dead end.
He expected that the palace must be in chaos now, and it would take a while for an effective encirclement to be organized.
As long as he found a place where no one was, and gave him a dozen seconds to open a portal, he would be basically safe for the time being.
Click, click...
The familiar sound of horse hooves came from behind, and there were screams from passers-by.
The raven flew over his head, "Boss, we are coming!"
Marvin slowed down and moved to the side of the road.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the crowd dodged, but the big black horse was too fast, and some people were still unable to dodge and were hit and flew away.
Marvin ran two steps to the side and jumped up with one foot on the stone wall beside the road.
The black unicorn just arrived, and Marvin used the sole of his foot on the saddle to gain leverage and sat down steadily.
He held the saddle head tightly with his left hand and leaned over to pat Ned's neck.
Hiss...
The big black horse neighed and ran away, and the raven flew over the eaves to catch up.
Marvin didn't let him get off, but sent a message: "The palace, two treasure chests, pick them up when no one is around."
Modus: "Okay!"
Five guards came out of the alley with long swords in their hands, looking at the knights going away in annoyance.
...
The unicorn ran wildly and the pedestrians on the road hurriedly avoided and cursed.
A large and luxurious carriage appeared in the middle of the road ahead. Two snow-white horses raised their heads and pulled the carriage forward with a clattering sound, quite elegant.
Ned narrowed his eyes, showing no intention of dodging.
Click, click...
The two sides were getting closer...
Pedestrians stopped to watch, some ladies covered their mouths with fans, and some covered their eyes with their hands.
"Get out of the way!" The coachman stood up and exclaimed, waving his hands repeatedly.
Marvin leaned down and patted Ned's neck, "1, 2, get out of the way!"
The two white horses raised their front hooves in shock, but they didn't hit anything.
"Get out of the way... ah..." The coachman's scream stopped abruptly.
"Wow!" Passersby looked sideways.
Click, click...
The sound of hooves continued to ring behind the carriage without any interruption.
Ned has a special skill, or most of the Spatikongs have this skill.
They are born with the ability to predict the approximate location of teleportation in advance, and will never get stuck on a wall or anything else even if they can't see the location.
In addition, their horse-like body structure makes teleportation very smooth while running, and they will never sprain their ankles.
The coordinated teleportation of one person and one horse is not yet proficient, and now they can only coordinate by counting one, two, three. Marvin believes that they will naturally become more and more tacit after getting along for a long time.
…
At this time, on the palace wall, a guard officer stepped into the sentry tower where Marvin had been.
The hand wearing a black leather glove picked up the parchment on the ground and wiped off the dust and shoe prints on it.
The parchment reads:
Nilfgaardians, or other bastards:
Listen up!
I don't care if you want to unify the continent or what you want to do, don't touch Temeria, don't touch Cintra.
Otherwise, Emhyr Enreis is a role model!
Whether you are a king, an emperor, a warlock, or something else.
When you die, don't blame me for not telling you in advance!
—— From Amavit Goydma a hundred years ago
The guard officer's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned and ran to the palace.
This was Marvin's naked threat.
It seemed that Temeria had nothing to do with him now, but that kingdom had raised him for nearly 20 years after all, so it was a bit unreasonable to do nothing.
But he only had less than a month, and there was not much he could do, so he would just use it as an unverifiable deterrent.
What? One emperor is not enough? What if someone said he was lucky?
It doesn't matter, he should kill more than this one.
If we look at it from a long-term perspective, Nilfgaard's unification of the continent may be a good thing for civilians and non-human races, at least there will not be wars between kingdoms every year.
Moreover, Nilfgaard really has the ability to unify the continent, and Emhyr Emreis can be regarded as a wise ruler.
But Marvin is just a warrior, and he only cares about "I am willing" when doing things.
Even if Emhyr is a good emperor, even if the continent is well unified, so what? He doesn't care.
...
In the valley in the far north of the city, a portal opened.
Marvin rode out on his unicorn and ran eastward.
He did not leave the city, but found an opportunity to open a portal in the alley near the city wall.
But this is not the end. It is not difficult for the master of space magic to track the landing point of the portal with the remaining space fluctuations. Marvin does not believe that there are no such high-level magicians in the Golden Tower City.
So he has to run for a while.
With Ned's speed, it is difficult for ordinary war horses to catch up.
After dark, there are 2 treasure chests in the inventory, one blue and one purple.
Modus: "Boss, I got it."
Marvin: "Okay, come over and join me first."
Modus: "You must wait for me to come before opening the box!"
Marvin: "Okay."
Modus: "└(^o^)┘"
Marvin: "Who did you learn this from?"
Modus: "I learned it from the people of Heaven's Gate. Isn't it amazingヾ(●゜ⅴ゜)ノ "
Marvin: "..."
...
Near midnight, in a small mountain village in the northeast corner of Jisuo Province.
In a dilapidated wooden house, Marvin sat cross-legged on the ground, with Raven standing beside his legs and Black Unicorn lying in the straw pile opposite.
Three pairs of eyes stared at the two treasure chests in the middle.
"...Hey, this is the function of the treasure chest. In the future, you will have to rely on this thing to make money to buy your food, so you must pick it up when you see it."
Modus paced and finished the introduction.
Sneeze~~
Ned grinned and nodded.
He could also see the treasure chest, but he couldn't put the things into the inventory. The treasure chest was only the size of a palm, so he could pick it up easily.
This broken wooden house was rented by Marvin and the village chief, who charged Marvin a high price of 5 florins per night.
Marvin paid the money very happily.
You may get the money, but you may not spend it.
After receiving Modus, he first teleported to Rivera Town, the capital of Giso Province, and then rushed to this small mountain village not far from Rivera, rested for a night and left tomorrow morning.
If the wizards and spies of Nilfgaard are determined to track, even if there is no tracking expert like Geralt, they will be able to track it down sooner or later.
So he has to continue running tomorrow.
The raven fluttered and urged: "Boss, I want to open one."
The unicorn also looked over with big watery eyes, "I want one too."
Marvin nodded.
The horse and the bird struggled for a while, and grabbed one at the same time.
Modus stood in front of the blue box, muttering: "God bless, Jehovah bless, Meliteli bless, radiation is above! ... Hey!"
The pointed beak opened the box.
[You get 310 Paradise Coins and Guard Half Armor. ]
Guard Half Armor, Excellent (Green), Breastplate, Price 313 Paradise Coins.
The raven crawled under Marvin's coat and shut himself up.
Ned looked curiously and asked: "What's wrong with Modus? This armor looks beautiful, isn't it good?"
Marvin nodded: "It's terrible."
Ned: "Eh~, look at me!"
The black unicorn closed his eyes as if he wanted to learn to pray like Modus, but suddenly remembered that praying was useless, so he pursed his lips and opened the treasure chest in front of him with his thick lips.
The purple light shone brightly...
[You get 1250 Paradise Coins and the majesty of the emperor. 】
[Emperor's Majesty]
Category: Ring
Quality: Rare (Purple)
Durability: 56/60
Equipment requirements: Charm attribute 40 or above
(Equipment requirements are required. If the equipment is not met, it will cause damage to the equipment.)
Equipment effect 1: Charm +12
Equipment effect 2: Persuasion ability increased by 25%
Description: The personal ring of the three emperors of Nilfgaard. After being worn for many years by Torres Enreis, Fergus Enreis and Emhyr Enreis, it has undergone wonderful changes.
Price: 5800RP
Marvin held the emerald ring and felt a little toothache.
If you say it is not good, it is too hypocritical.
If you say it is good, it is useless.
Marvin has never thought about being a succubus. The reason why the charm attribute is raised to 13 is because he has accumulated too many attribute points in the last mission.
He will consider adding charm only when he has extra attribute points in the future, and it is impossible to add 10 points at a time.
God knows when he can increase the charm to 40.
Moreover, Marvin had no idea which world he would go to to carry out his missions, and he didn't know how long he would live. It would be better to sell it and exchange it for Paradise Coins to increase his strength.
The black unicorn had stood up when the box flashed, and was looking at Marvin with his big watery eyes, "How is it? How is it? Is it good?"
The raven was peeking out from under his clothes, Marvin pulled him out and shook him, and said to Ned: "You are much better than this guy."
The big black horse immediately grinned: "Hehe, roo, roo, roo..."
The next day, Marvin jumped between the provinces of Giso and Metina twice, and finally teleported to his real destination, the town of Clermont in the northeast corner of Ebin.
Clermont is a north-south transportation hub, and merchants usually stop here when entering and leaving the hinterland of Nilfgaard.
The business atmosphere of this town is very strong, and mages from the south and the north often teleport here to buy rare toys and experimental supplies.
Therefore, it is difficult to track Marvin's subsequent whereabouts in this area.
Marvin did not enter the town, but went south.
It was not that he was overly cautious, but his next destination was in the south, Styga Castle.
Ned's speed was indeed fast. Just after noon, he saw the huge rocks and castles standing in the sunken lake.
It was unwise to rush into the territory of high-level mages, and there was no need to be so anxious.
When chatting with Teacher Tissaya 3 days ago, the two of them also talked about Vigofortz of Logeiwen.
He also knew that 4 days later would be the last inquiry meeting for Vigofortz to apply to join the Art and Craft Association. The inquiry meeting would be held at the Gastang Palace of Aretusa Academy.
When Marvin was studying at the academy, he said that mages should not be gathered in the academy. The more people there were, the more dangerous it was.
His goal was to prevent the "Thannid Island Coup" that had not yet happened.
The future coup destroyed Aretusa, and more than a dozen high-level mages died on the scene, leading to the dissolution of the Warlock Brotherhood.
The false image of unity of the northern mages was defeated by the pro-southern faction headed by Vigofortz, and it also indirectly led to the establishment of the Women Sorcerers' Gathering House.
Dean Tissaya later committed suicide due to guilt.
Unexpectedly, she finally put Marvin's "prophecy" behind her.
On the one hand, most of Marvin's previous "prophecies" have not yet come true; secondly, it is difficult for the hundreds-year-old dean to take the words of a teenage student seriously.
And the third point is that the magic-forbidden barrier of Gastang Palace gave Tishaya the greatest confidence, and no one could use magic at the party.
Even if there are conflicts, it is just a quarrel at most. Dean Veris is very relieved.
Marvin was a little angry at the time, but the power of words is sometimes so weak. Action is much more powerful!
The investigation of Styga Castle was still done by Modus. Marvin quickly found out the situation outside Styga Castle.
For ordinary people, there is only one way to enter the castle, the long bridge in front.
There are at least two mercenaries holding bows and crossbows standing on the gate at any time, and there are no less than 20 mercenaries in the castle and a male wizard with a bad face.
Until the evening, Modus did not see Vigfortz.
Although Marvin didn't know Vigo, according to teacher Tishaya, he was a very handsome and elegant man.
There were many voices supporting him to join the association, and most of them were female sorcerers.
Pah! Face-hungry.
Because he never saw the real owner, Marvin didn't take any action at night. He wouldn't take action until he was sure that Vigo Fortz was in the castle.
He spent two days to obtain intelligence and investigation in order to kill the emperor. This time, facing a high-level sorcerer, he had enough patience.
Patience was indeed rewarded.
The next morning, a carriage drove out of the castle.
The three mercenaries in the carriage did not stop in the nearby Styga Village, but went north along the road that Marvin came from.
Halfway through, Marvin became a robber, and it took only a dozen seconds to drag three mercenaries with rough martial arts into the woods.
In the woods on the top of the mountain a few kilometers away from the dirt road to the north, three embarrassed captives sat on the ground leaning against a tree trunk.
A raven paced and said, "You just say whatever my boss asks. The one who speaks first can live, the one who reveals the most information can live, the one who points out that others are lying can live... and only one of you will survive..."
The raven suddenly jumped up and fluttered and roared, "Did you understand!? Hehehe..."
The three captives with rags stuffed in their mouths nodded in fear.
