nChapter 78: Book of Nalu

nTranslator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

nMarvin was silent.

nWhat did that shadow mean?

nHe was clear about it.

nThe Shadow Prince!

nA very active god during the Great Calamity, his avatars were all over Feinan. He once assassinated three Legends at the same time!

nThis was a very jealous and petty god. The people revering him were a part of the assassins and a few shadow wizards.

nBut if a legend appeared within those two classes, he would strangle his own follower without the slightest hesitation.

nHis famous quote was,

"Just one assassin is enough in this world.

"

nMarvin knew him; he was a complete coward. He liked to hide in the shadows. However, he was very powerful.

nIf Marvin wanted to advance to Ruler of the Night, the Shadow Prince wouldn’t let him off. In fact, Marvin fought against him an incalculable number of times in the game.

nMarvin died three times, and the Shadow Prince died once.

nBut because Marvin was a player, he had the

"Golden Generation

" identity. He could keep reviving. The Shadow Prince only had one life, so Marvin still had the final win.

nThe final result was the fall of the Shadow Prince and Marvin successfully reaching Godhood.

nBut this was obviously in his previous life!!

nThe scene shown on the crystal ball was when Marvin killed the Shadow Prince and looted the Book of Nalu from his body.

nHe had no idea why Hathaway could see this scene.

nThis was really too puzzling.

n…

n

"You want me to kill him?

" Marvin said with a little bit of difficulty.

nThe current Marvin was definitely an ant to the Shadow Prince. He could crush Marvin between his fingers at any time.

n

"

"Do you think you can?

"

nHathaway immediately sneered,

"All of Feinan’s Legends are looking for this guy, but they still couldn’t catch him. You, a ranger that hasn’t even gotten his 2nd rank class, being able to kill him?

"

n

"Then, why did you show me this?

" Marvin asked in a deep voice.

n

"I need you to get this.

" Hathaway pointed at that scroll Marvin was holding in the crystal ball.

n

"The Book of Nalu.

"

nAlso known as

"Book of Deception

", it was a magic book written by the God of Deception Nalu in the last moments before his fall.

nEach person could understand a few things from it, good, or bad. It totally relied on the person’s luck.

nThis thing was a god artifact!

n

"I don’t know this book’s current location, but it’s clearly not in the Shadow Prince’s hands.

"

nHathaway’s eyes were shining.

"From what I’ve seen, you seem to have a special connection to this book. You should be able to find this book.

"

n

"Can you?

"

nMarvin hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

n

"But only one page. My dream showed me the location of a page of the Book of Nalu buried not far from here.

"

nMarvin chose to acknowledge that

"Seer

" identity.

nSince Hathaway thought they were alike, there was no harm in carefully using this. He truly knew where the 6th page of the Book of Nalu was.

nIt would certainly be quite advantageous if he could hand it to a future legend.

n

"I’ll give you three months,

" Hathaway firmly said.

"I have to reach legendary rank before that event happens.

"

n

"The Book of Nalu would help me accomplish that, even if it’s only one page.

"

n

"Now, tell me what you want in exchange.

"

nThe witch let go of the crystal ball and stared at Marvin.

n

"I hope you won’t be stupid and ask anything exaggerated.

"

n...

nWhen Marvin left the top floor of the Ashes Tower, it was already the middle of the night.

nThe two had discussed for quite a while. Because they shared the Seer identity, Hathaway seemed to treat Marvin as an equal. This was quite uncommon.

nUnfortunately, Marvin knew he wasn’t a seer. What he saw wasn’t like Hathaway’s vague vision of the future, it was the true future!

nThe two chatted for a while. According to what Hathaway knew, the number of seers in Feinan Continent wouldn’t exceed ten.

nEvery seer had the potential of being a Legend. She wasn’t too clear about the origin of the seers, but it surely had something to do with the disappearance of the Wizard God.

nMarvin promised to look for the Book of Nalu for Hathaway. His requirements were very simple: Protect his younger brother Wayne, and form an alliance between the Ashes Tower and White River Valley.

nHathaway was straightforward and promised. She obviously knew the matter with the Unicorn clan. Ashes Tower’s strength was too powerful, they were unafraid of the Unicorn clan.

nShielding White River Valley was something very easy to do.

nThe news of the alliance would be announced tomorrow morning, and would then spread to all of East Coast. Thus, people who wanted to put their hands on White River Valley would think twice before acting.

nNot everyone could take on an angry Half-Legend Witch.

nFor Marvin, accidently meeting Hathaway made everything much smoother.

nHe originally still needed to handle the Unicorn clan, but now, the pressure would disappear.

nHe hurried back to Wayne’s bedroom and saw that the small guy had already been sleeping. After explaining a few things to the old butler, Marvin left Magore Academy right away.

nThe true Battle of the Holy Grail would start two weeks later. Wayne should have recovered by then.

nMarvin would proceed with his previous plan in the meantime.

nHe hadn’t forgotten the Eternal Flower promised to the Mad Lich, and now he also had to get the Book of Nalu for Hathaway. These things were both hidden very well but fortunately, Marvin’s memory was exceptional, and he had a deep affinity with treasures, or this would have been a real headache.

nOf course, the most important part was still ranking up!

nTurning into a Night Walker was the most important part of Marvin’s plan. If he couldn’t advance, even if Wayne and Marvin worked together, they might not be able to win the enchanted Holy Grail!

nTo turn into a Night Walker he needed to find a member of the Night Walker organization.

nMarvin rented a horse in Magore Academy and rode toward the north in the night!

nTo the northwest of the Three Ring Towers was a large dense forest spreading for a thousand kilometers, the Thousand Leaves Forest. It was also the territory of the wood elves!

nMarvin knew the location of a Night Walker. He lived in seclusion in the surroundings of the Thousand Leaves Forest.

nThat guy was apparently no good, but if he could get his recommendation, his advancement would be as good as done!

n...

nOak Town.

nAs the human town situated the furthest north of the Three Ring Towers, Oak Town had always been the paradise of adventurers and merchants.

nAll kinds of trade went there, including slave trade. Of course, no elven slaves were included in this place.

nAs this was a mountainous area adjoining the wood elves’ kingdom, even greedy merchants didn’t dare to anger the elven king. Especially since in the last hundred years, the new elven king had shown his ability and an unyielding attitude.

nThe high elves’ glory was already being forgotten, and all high elves were already in the Eternal Nation. Only the wood elves and some other ordinary elves were left behind.

nThe wood elves were the most united among them. They gathered in the Thousand Leaves Forest, listening to the elven king’s orders, and had knowledge and treasures from the 2nd era. Although mankind had already been drooling over the resources in the Thousand Leaves Forest, the formidable elven king, with the help of the Elven Iron Guard, had locked human wizards, slavers and businessmen out.

nIn the past hundred years, very few elven slaves had appeared in the South.

nBecause if an elf went missing, that powerful Legend elven king would set out and ruthlessly slaughter a whole human village!

nThis guy was a star killer among elves! He simply didn’t conform to the elven temperament.

nEven if the Elder assembly was dissatisfied with this new Elven King, they also had to admit that under the lead of this king, the wood elves were once again rising up, regaining part of the glory they had during the 2nd era.

nAt least, the South Wizard Alliance prohibited elven slavery, and took the initiative to be friendly with the wood elves kingdom.

nOak Town’s existence was a symbol of a friendly cooperation between both sides.

nBoth sides were there to engage in trade, abiding with the old social order. Harsh but fair.

nBut this didn’t stop humans from going north.

nThe elven king didn’t allow any human to enter the Thousand Leaves Forest.

nOnce caught, one would immediately be imprisoned. Elves usually didn’t kill, but their dungeons were quite durable.

nEven though it was like that, the Thousand Leaves Forest was too vast and there were too few elven iron guards. There were still many adventurers secretly entering the Thousand Leaves Forest to gather some good things.

nAs long as luck was with them, they would be able to earn quite a bit.

nEven if they met an elven iron guard, as long as they didn’t anger him, said a few friendly words and gave up everything they got in the Thousand Leaves Forest, they might be able to escape unscathed.

nThus, Oak Town was always a good place for low level adventurers to gamble.

nWhen Marvin arrived at Oak Town from The Three Ring Towers, it was already morning.

nHe led the horse into town.

n‘If I’m not wrong, that guy lives in seclusion in Oak Town.’

n‘The exact location is… Forget it, paying a visit at night is more fitting.’

n‘I hurried through the middle of the night, I’m beat… 9 constitution is really too bad.’

nMarvin approached an inn’s door while yawning.

nHe paid and went to sleep.

nHe woke up in a daze, at nightfall.

nAfter he ate his fill, he pulled himself together and left the inn, strolling down the street.

n
