In the early morning, in the dense forest on the side of the castle.

A figure shuttles through the forest.

Whoosh swish swish swish!

Black shadows flew out of Marvin's hands!

Ding Ding Ding!

All the black shadows accurately hit the white circles on the big trees in the dense forest.

But some are more accurate, while others are on the edge of the circle.

After throwing away a set of darts in one breath, Ma Wen stopped and meticulously checked the battle records.

"Although darts are the easiest to master among all hidden weapons, my hit rate is still a bit low."

"Hit is a bit related to strength. Although I have good agility, I rarely use long-range weapons. It is normal for all hidden weapons to be unable to practice for a while."

"But if this continues, it should be able to rise to 30 points in a while."

Ma Wen silently looked at the [Concealed Arms - Dart 24] in his personal skill list and wiped his sweat.

In the Scarlet Monastery, the most powerful thing he gained was naturally the power of the dragon. However, this book "Detailed Explanation of the Introductory Concealer" is not bad. Ma Wen learned three hidden weapon skills from it.

They are [Concealed Arms - Darts (24)], [Concealed Arms - Flying Knife (5)], and [Concealed Arms - Flying Needle (5)].

In addition to darts, Ma Wen basically lost the other two hidden weapons even if he used his skills.

This was the result of Marvin using the noble's talent and expertise [Quick Learning]. His hidden weapon talent is very average, so he chose the simplest one to learn.

Because he was reluctant to throw his precious skill points to the hidden weapon, Marvin insisted on using darts every morning to practice.

Each set of twenty darts is practiced thirty rounds a day. Twenty rounds in the morning and ten rounds in the evening.

With such high-intensity connection, Marvin's dart ability has increased rapidly. After all, the foundation of agility is there.

But the hidden weapon is a long-range attack weapon after all, and it is not as high as the progress.

For Marvin, who likes to kill with one blow, he doesn't like that much.

In addition to practicing darts, Marvin's strength has also improved because he killed a large number of zombies in previous battles.

In the battle to recapture the White River Valley, including the experience given by the earth spirits, Ma Wen gained a total of 2,194 killing experience.

He has already reached the fifth-level ranger and has met the conditions for advancement, but if he wants to upgrade to a sixth-level ranger, he must invest 4,800 points of experience.

Obviously, the jackals can no longer meet Marvin's upgrade needs.

So he thought for a while, and simply extracted a thousand killing experiences and threw them on the [Shadow Cut Step].

Like [Tripple Throat], because Marvin repeatedly uses this standard technical action in combat, he can pay for killing experience to turn it into his own personal exclusive skill.

Shadow Step Cutting + Throat Cutting Technique is the signature combo skill of the Phantom Assassin, second only to the life-sacrificing strike.

After Marvin invested one thousand points of experience, there was one more item in his personal exclusive skills list:

【Shadow Cutting Step (30)】

It is normal that the throat slit technique is not high. Although Ma Wen has practiced footwork when playing games, he does not have the skills of throat slit, so he cannot fully accurately imitate it. However, 30 points of shadow cutting step is enough.

Now, Ma Wen can fully use powerful assassination skills such as [Stealing] or [Hide] + [Shadow Cutting] + [Throat Cutting].

These skills allow him to assassinate thieves who are no less than those in the assassin's direction. His frontal combat ability is far superior to that of ordinary rangers. With rich combat experience, even without the potion of dragon power, Ma Wen is confident to challenge the second-level master.

Papa! The dart continues to fly out.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, he lost all the darts in his hand again.

There were densely packed darts on the big trees around.

This is the last round of practice today.

Marvin put away all the darts, then trotted all the way into the castle through the side door.

...

This is the fourth day after the White Valley recovered.

As Marvin expected, the punishment knights who were denied did not come to cause trouble again. Some people in the riverbank city who were ill-hearted seemed to be shocked by Marvin's courage. They have not moved yet.

But Ma Wen knew that even if they had ideas, they could only come secretly.

This was the era before the Cataclysm and the era of the Wizard Alliance. Apart from being wary of assassination and other things, the rest are still easy to say.

After the werewolves were completely expelled, the White River Valley gradually began to return to its former weather.

Anna took half of the guards and worked hard to go door to door to Green Village, Mist Village, Panshui Lake and other places, bringing back the residents of the territory who were frightened by the gnolls.

The villages under the castle gradually became popular, and the abandoned farmhouses were cleaned up again, and the farmers began to return.

Craftsmen and craftsmen also brought their children back to the castle.

The current White River Valley is no different from the rest of the territory. The most important part is naturally the lord and the people around the lord.

Marvin and Anna live deep in the castle, and outside are guarded by the guards.

Then there is the castle outside the city, which is the residence of various craftsmen and craftsmen, where their children are also trained as apprentices, inherit their parents' professions, and become a tailor or bricklayer.

At the foot of the mountain, most of them are ordinary farmers and some businessmen, but these cunning guys often work part-time thieves.

If you look down from above, Marvin's castle is surrounded by cliffs, with only a small grove on the side.

In the south is a separate stone bridge, and below is a specially dug canal. The water of the Baihe River is introduced into the canal. The river water is very deep and some handstand spears are inserted inside.

Most people who fall into the water will not end well.

Under the castle are farmhouses, which are quite separate from each other. Large areas of barren farmland are difficult to plant crops other than wheat or okra.

The Baihe River in the distance is like a belt, hanging on the vast but not so rich land of the Baihe Valley.

Standing on the castle wall, you can also see the northern mine.

The White River flows around the White River Valley, and to the west of the northern mine, there is an abandoned pier.

This is the White River Valley.

A barren countryside place.

But it is a place where Marvin must protect with his life.

The morning sun slowly rose and people started working.

Fortunately, Ma Wen drove away the werewolves in time, otherwise it would delay summer seeds. In that case, the White River Valley, which was already very problematic in terms of food, would make it worse.

“It’s time to work.”

Ma Wen had some breakfast, changed his clothes, and returned to the study.

Anna was already waiting there.

After successfully regaining the White River Valley, Ma Wen fulfilled the boy's wish as he wished, and the last wisp of soul fragments also dissipated.

But the oath he made to the boy still did not change.

He will guard this place. He also fully believes that he has the ability to do this!

After one thousand general experience points were taken into account, there were no more tasks in the taskbar.

This surprised Marvin, but he is not the one he is most concerned about at the moment.

...

"Food problem? I will solve this."

Facing Anna who was a little anxious, Marvin whispered.

While talking to Anna and understanding the situation of the territory, he kept holding the quill in his hand and skillfully issued one order after another.

In the rebuilt White River Valley, there are too many files to be processed.

But Marvin is very good at this. Although he was not an administrative person in his previous life, he had a very flexible mind. If he couldn't manage this small part of the White River Valley well, he would be a time traveler.

He issued five lord warrants in one breath.

Article 1: The White Valley Guard Guard Guard Recruitment Order. The White Valley includes subordinate villages, and all men of appropriate age can participate in the recruitment. This area is mainly under the responsibility of Andre.

Marvin is preparing to expand the size of the guard team. Twenty people are too small. For the White River Valley, which has a population of nearly 2,000, the guard team needs at least fifty people.

Now Marvin is not short of funds. The gold nuggets he brought from the Scarlet Monastery are enough to support the 50-man guards for many years.

The second article is an order to encourage residents to develop animal husbandry. Marvin found that the southern grasslands in the White River Valley were particularly suitable for grazing. Before, due to the threat of wild animals and werewolves, it has not developed. Now Marvin is preparing to vigorously develop territorial force, which should be guaranteed. All farmers who grazed have certain allowances.

The third is to recruit craftsmen, craftsmen and merchants. They can inject vitality into the territory.

Article 4: The same recruitment order is only for professionals, especially those with military experience. Marvin needs some guys with commanding or risk-taking experience to lead newcomers to the guards. This recruitment order gave quite a lot of rewards, and even Gru and others were a little moved.

Article 5 is the repair order. Ma Wen hopes to transfer some people from some farmers or craftsmen to repair the abandoned wharf on the Baihe River.

This is a big project and time-consuming and laborious, which seems very unwise to Anna.

But Marvin had his own reasons. Under his insistence, all five decrees were promulgated.

The White River Valley was shocked for a moment. Lord Lord, it has not been a long time since he had so many movements in succession.
