nAs dawn slowly arrived, Marvin tirelessly ran through the Thousand Leaves Forest.

nHe was running absolutely unrestrained, with a pass in hand so that even if he met the Elven Iron Guard, they would easily let him through.

nHe felt strength flowing all over his body after receiving the Night Monarch’s blessings.

nHis attributes had once again been strengthened, and he also received an attribute point because his overall level reached 6. Marvin didn’t hesitate to use it on dexterity. This was the path he had chosen. He wouldn’t consider using a free attribute point in another stat until he had 25 dexterity.

nThousand Leaves Forest was extremely huge, but Marvin felt familiar with many areas here.

nThat page of the Book of Nalu could be considered the easiest artifact to find in all of Feinan, even if it was only a damaged one. There was no danger.

n‘I remember it was north of a small elven village, and there seemed to be a waterfall there.’

n‘The plunge pool at the bottom of the waterfall was extremely cold. Only those with cold resistance 5 or higher could dive down.’

n‘The Book of Nalu was placed in that pool.’

nMarvin was on his way towards his objective while trying to recall the exact location of the hidden book of Nalu.

nThousand Leaves Forest was really too vast, and that elven village only had a few distinctive signs. Without enough information, finding the book of Nalu was impossible.

nNo wonder no one had found it all this time.

nThe sun gradually rose but it didn’t make Marvin feel unwell.

nBut the feeling of being like a fish in water he had during the night gradually disappeared.

nNight Walkers were more powerful at night after all. Skills like Summon Night Crow would be in a sealed state.

nBut Eternal Night could still be used three times per day at most.

n‘I shouldn’t be too far, time to take a break.’

nMarvin stopped and sat under a tree. He took out some rations and water from the void conch, replenish some energy.

nHe also took the chance to take out that magic weapon.

nBlazing Fury.

nThis weapon was a curved dagger that Sean personally crafted. It was made of a mix of many uncommon metals and precious materials. It also deserved its name of magic weapon due to its attributes.

nThis curved dagger actually had two great spells attached!

nArcane Missiles was a commonly seen instant magic that would summon a number of arcane missiles to attack the enemy, depending on the user’s intelligence level.

nWith Marvin’s intelligence, he could only summon 3 - 5 arcane missiles, but it was still very threatening.

nThis spell could be used three times a day.

nThe other spell Blazing Fury was very fierce in comparison. It was a 2nd circle spell!

nAnd an AoE spell at that!

nIts firepower was several times stronger than the Hand of the Fire God. Even though it could only be used once per day, Marvin was already very satisfied.

nWhat made him the most grateful was that this curved dagger was tailor made!

nHowever, this magic weapon normally couldn’t be wielded by Marvin due to his attributes. His strength was lacking!

nThe weapon’s usual strength requirement was 15!

nBut Sean had added a great amount of Cloud Rock, a very uncommon and expensive ore. It forcibly reduced the weapon’s strength requirement to 12, a level where Marvin could use it.

nThe old blacksmith attentive side could clearly be seen.

nIt was at this time that Marvin truly understood that a weapon fitting himself should be forged by himself.

nThe person who knew you the best was still yourself.

nHe had previously thought of never touching his blacksmith class again after leaving the Eternal Night Paradise.

nHowever, he realized that Sean had put a lot of thought into it so he slowly began to change his mind.

nMaybe this blacksmith class wasn’t as uninteresting and useless as he thought.

n...

nThe only thing that made Marvin somewhat distressed was that to use Two-Weapon Fighting, his left and right hand daggers had to be identical in weight and size.

nEven if they had Two-Weapon Fighting, an ordinary person’s right hand was a bit stronger than the left, so if the two weapons differed too much, it would make the attack uncoordinated.

nOf course, having an occasional change of rhythm could definitely catch someone off guard. The main point was still how to use it.

nHe thought and finally decided to hang Blazing Fury on his waist, like the Kingfisher Jade.

nHe would use Fang for the time being. And switching daggers in battle wasn’t too difficult for him.

nAfter familiarizing himself with the weapon, Marvin continued his journey once again. He soon found that familiar elven village.

n...

nThis village was in the western part of Thousand Leaves Forest.

nThere were roughly 200 inhabitants who were all pure wood elves.

nThe village had a guard squad, but these people weren’t strong.The strongest had already been forcefully enlisted into the Elven Iron Guard.

nThis method of forceful enlistment, even if it was to defend Thousand Leaves Forest, lead to some resentment among the elves.

nIf not for that Great Elven King’s strength and charisma, the situation would have already reached the point of no return, throwing Thousand Leaves Forest into chaos.

nWhen Marvin entered the village he only noticed a dozen young adults. Most of the inhabitants were elderly or children.

nThis was a very common elven village.

nThey were secluded, living peaceful and harmonious days. Outside the village was a large corn and banana field, enough for the wood elves to use as food for a long time.

nPerhaps because they rarely met humans, a lot of elven children surrounded him, fearless. They used a clumsy common language to ask Marvin a few things.

nMarvin was very fond of those children. He took out some snacks and divided it between them. These snacks were Marvin’s rations from the human world, so they couldn’t be bought in Thousand Leaves Forest.

nThe children took the things they were interested in, and actually surrounded Marvin even closer, making him unable to get away.

nElves during their childhood were very lively and curious about the world. This interest would gradually vanish as they grew to adulthood. Most wood elves would end up becoming aloof.

nAnd those young adults initially seemed very cautious, but once Marvin showed his pass, they relaxed.

nThere weren’t many people who could get a pass and they were all close allies of the wood elves that wouldn’t harm them.

nSoon, Marvin received a warm reception, especially after he took out some small trinkets from River Shore City out of his Void Conch. They were originally not worth many coins, but for the secluded elves, and especially the children, it was an exceptional novelty.

nMarvin stayed in the village for a while, asking the village chief something about the northern waterfall.

nAs expected, the elder pointed out the exact location of the waterfall.

nHe still warned Marvin,

"Young man, even though that waterfall is very beautiful, the water at the bottom is as cold as ice. Don’t enter the plunge pool by any means.

"

nMarvin nodded. After thanking the older elf, he struggled his way out of the group of elven children and headed north, alone.

nAbout half an hour later, he found the waterfall. Soon, the plunge pool emitting cold air appeared in front of him.

nThere wasn’t a single blade of grass growing around that plunge pool, probably because it was too cold.

nMarvin approached the water, and sure enough, a gust of cold air was coming out.

n‘It’s fortunate that I’m prepared.’

nHe checked his surroundings and saw no one. He then quietly took out a bottle of blue colored medicine and drank it!

nShort Cold Resistance Potion!

nIt could temporarily give 8 to the cold resistance stat. The effect was quite amazing but the effect duration was very short, only 3 minutes!

nThis was something Marvin had asked for from Hathaway. The latter estimated as a seer that it was worth it and directly paid the potion in advance to Marvin.

nIn fact, this potion was very valuable. Even though it wasn’t as valuable as Dragon Strength, it could still sell for an extremely good price on the market.

nAfter Marvin finished drinking, he didn’t dare to delay and hurried to jump in the pool!

nHis swimming skills were good, and although the plunge pool was deep, he more or less knew the exact location. Soon, after two failed attempts, he managed to grab the chest stuck in the mud.

n

"Crash!

"

nMarvin, drenched and shivering, climbed out of the water while clutching a small chest.

nThe increase in his cold resistance stat didn’t mean he wouldn’t feel any coldness. He simply wouldn’t freeze.

nThankfully there was a small cavern in the surroundings. Marvin went in, took off his clothes, and lit a fire.

nAfter warming up, he opened the chest. The lock on the chest had been worn down by the years and a simple pull was enough to break it.

nA parchment was lying inside, along with a human skin mask!
