Chapter 18 The Headless Girl(1/2)
Good luck.
In the first room, there is a treasure chest.
Although these treasure chests look a bit old, the things inside rarely lose their effect due to the passage of time.
Ma Wen bent down and gently shook the wooden box.
He did not click on the two major skills [Exclusion Trap] and [Lock Unlock], so everything can only be judged based on his experience.
Eliminating traps is the Ranger's skill, which is very important in team battles - especially in dungeons. However, Marvin is not ready to develop in this regard, and wasting valuable skill points in this regard is not cost-effective. Lock unlocking is the Rogue's skill. Ranger and Rogue are both professions of [Roamer]. You can learn [Lock unlocking] across professions, but it requires double the skill points, which is even more cost-effective for Marvin.
Facing ordinary treasure chests, low-level unlocking scrolls can solve the problem. Why use skill points to solve problems that can be solved with money?
A slight sound came from the wooden box.
Marvin listened with his ear.
“There should be no traps.”
"Just a normal lock."
He tore open a normal lock-opening reel to open the copper lock.
Then, based on the principle of caution, he still used the branches he carried with him to open the wooden box.
Whoosh!
A dart flew out of the wooden box and nailed to the mud wall with a bang.
Ma Wen frowned slightly.
Your own judgment will also fail. Sure enough, without a [listening] skill, is it difficult to find these tricky little traps simply by relying on your hearing?
Fortunately, I am cautious enough.
He leaned over and checked the dart.
The edges of the darts are dark green, which is obviously poisoned. He knew that there was a special profession on the eastern island - ninja. One of their signature weapons is this kind of dart.
"So, is this a treasure chest left by a ninja?"
Marvin took out the things in the box, and there was only a thin book inside. There were a few words written on it in the common language.
"Introduction to the Introductory Concealer".
"It's actually a skill book!"
"And it's a Ninja's skill book."
Ma Wen's eyelids twitched. Skill books were never something you could find. In his previous life, as a dark night master, he fought with some ninjas.
Although those players ended up hating him, Marvin was still impressed by the endless hidden weapons of ninjas.
After learning this book "Introduction to the Introductory Concealer", you can master one or three ways to use the Introductory Concealer.
The study of skill books only relates to the learners' personal qualities, but has no requirements for their profession.
For example, in theory, a Berserker picked up a skill book called "Flame Hand". If he is smart enough and has a certain foundation in spells, he can learn this witchcraft - but in fact, you and I know that with the mind of a Berserker, he basically has no chance of spells.
The mastery of hidden weapons has relatively high requirements for agility, because it requires strong control over every part of the body. It is difficult for ordinary people to get started for a while.
But for Marvin, none of this is a problem.
His body control is super strong, and it shouldn't take too long to learn hidden weapons.
He put away this precious skill book, and there was nothing else in the box.
So he started sneaking again and left the room.
Who knew that at this moment, a faint white shadow suddenly flew past in his afterglow!
What the hell!
Ma Wen was shocked and looked closely and saw that the place was empty and nothing.
Is it an illusion?
Marvin became serious.
He checked the battle records and personal attributes again, but found nothing.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the moonlight seemed less bright under the influence of the fog.
He had no dark vision and had limited things to see. But the same was true for those scarlet waiters, with candles lit in their houses, which brought great convenience to Marvin's assassination.
What exactly is that white shadow...?
Marvin felt a little furious. He had never experienced any similar incidents.
There is something strange about this place. It seems that it will be a quick battle.
Ma Wen reminded himself that he must keep a guard at all times, and then he arrived at the door of the second room.
The room was pitch black and there should be no scarlet waiter.
He pushed open the door and got in.
...
There are eighteen rooms in total. There are ten scarlet waiters in total.
It took Marvin almost two hours to clear the eighteen rooms.
This allowed him to gain 90 killing experience and six treasure chests. Among the six treasure chests, only one is a magic lock, and the rest are ordinary locks.
In addition to the hidden weapon skills book, the remaining four ordinary treasure chests contributed him a bag of gold bars, a necklace, a bottle of unknown potion and an ancient book that recorded the history of the Scarlet Monastery.
This ancient book, which Ma Wen had obtained in his previous life, seems ordinary, but in fact it contains a huge secret of the Scarlet Monastery.
But this secret, like the sleeping lich, requires a certain amount of strength to explore. Marvin carefully kept the ancient book.
Gold bars are of high purity and can be exchanged for a considerable amount of wealth in any city. Money is always the best.
This bottle of potion, like the azure blue gem, is something that needs to be identified. Marvin is not a pharmacist, so naturally he cannot identify it.
The only thing that comes in handy immediately is the necklace:
【Secret of the Moon (necklace)】
Quality: Glimmer
Effect: Moonlight Vision +50
——May Vanya's eyes accompany you
Requirements: Intellect 14
...
Vanya is the name of the moon god.
Marvin just met the intellectual requirement of 14 o'clock, and he put the necklace on without hesitation.
【You wear the moon marks…】
【Moonlight Vision +50…】
Two clear lights flashed in Ma Wen's eyes. Wherever the dim moonlight reached, Ma Wen could clearly see everything!
This is the benefit of the extra 50 moonlight vision!
There are many types of vision, the most common one is sunlight vision - that is, ordinary vision. Marvin's race is human, and the sunlight vision is also a very moderate 100 points.
This means that in a flat place and sufficient sunlight, Marvin can distinguish organisms within a range of 1,000 meters - roughly distinguish between humans and animals.
The Ranger's vocation has a relatively powerful skill called [Overdistance Vision]. This skill allows the Ranger to see further outside the limit of humans.
However, this skill is limited to sunlight vision.
Corresponding to the sunlight field, there are moonlight field and dark field. In both aspects, humans, a moderate race, have no bonus. The moonlight field of humans is 10 points, while the dark field is pitiful. Some people with poor vision have almost 0.
The application range of moonlight vision is relatively narrow, but it can play a role as long as there is moonlight.
In short, Marvin is still very satisfied with the effect of this shimmer necklace.
At least it will be much more convenient to walk on moonlit nights in the future.
...
The last magic lock chest was placed in front of Marvin.
This magic lock chest is a bit tricky. Because he had tried it twice just now, he used two magic locks to open the scroll, but both failed.
There is a certain probability of failure when unlocking a lock with a unlocking reel. In this case, it is easier to be reflected in the magic lock.
He still has two scrolls with magic locks in his hand, but the problem is that a magic lock can only be opened three times with the scroll.
If it fails the third time, the scroll will be invalid for the box.
Marvin had a headache.
Should I bet on luck now, or should I bring the box back and buy a more advanced magic lock to open the scroll?
"Forget it, it's better to be safe and take the box back."
To be continued...
