Night Ranger - Full Series - 735 Chapters

  He walked around casually and found that not only was the boat down, but the sailors were also not present. They must have gone ashore to enjoy themselves.

  Only a navigator was on the ship, studying a sea chart conscientiously.

  Marvin asked, and confirmed that this ship was really setting off ten days later toward his destination, Sunrise Island. He quickly paid for his ship expenses and scheduled a cabin before leaving the dock.

  Since they would set off ten days later, Marvin didn’t want to waste his time.

  For the current him, every second was very important.

  …

  Marvin walked through the streets, looking for an inn.

  But he suddenly noticed a crowd not far from there, apparently watching something exciting.

  Marvin was curious and went over.

  Approaching, he saw that the people were crowding around a courtyard’s door. Posted on the door was a notice with [Wolf Spider] written on it.

  “I heard the Wolf Spider mercenaries found the entrance of some new Gnomish ruins. They are recruiting experts of the 3rd rank and above.”

  “What Gnomish vestiges would force the Wolf Spiders with their powerhouse team to hire outsiders?”

  “Who knows. From the rumors, it’s [Saruha]…

  The people on the sides were discussing spiritedly while Marvin had a heavy expression.

  Saruha?!

  That was strange strange… Saruha was a high level instance that didn’t open until one year after the Great Calamity!

  It was on the same level as the Scarlet Monastery, but was a more troublesome challenge!

  This Gnomish vestige was truly a remnant of the Ancient Gnomes’ empire. The most frightening things inside weren’t the traps, but the large amount of constructs and Evil Spirits!

  Without proper preparations, exploring Saruha would only bring about one’s own destruction.

  Why was Saruha’s entrance discovered earlier? Could it be because he had changed history?

  Marvin frowned.

  From the notice, it seemed that these [Wolf Spider] mercenaries found Saruha’s entrance.

  They found the way to freely enter and exit the remains, and a map of the area. But they estimated that they weren’t powerful enough to clear it out themselves, so they decided to hire outside help.

  The notice was very clear. The outside helpers would temporarily enjoy the same loot distribution as the internal staff.

  At the same time they would be rewarded considerably.

  They would hire ten 3rd rank experts.

  As for the 4th rank experts, they would hire three or more, the more the better.

  They didn’t expect to hire any Legends of course. Legends weren’t weaklings, and they weren’t people that the Wolf Spider mercenaries could afford to hire.

  Many of the people surrounding the door wanted to participate in this exploration.

  The Wolf Spiders were a well-known and outstanding mercenary team in the ruin city. They wouldn’t hire people that weren’t genuine experts.

  Thus, anyone who wanted to sign up to join the excursion would have to go through their test.

  The test was very simple: a peak 3rd rank Barbarian was standing at the doorway. They needed to be able to fight him.

  Barbarians had a lot of stamina and were perfect for testing people.

  Many people had participated in the registration process and fought with the Barbarian one by one.

  But most people weren’t a match for the Barbarian!

  It was clear for Marvin that this Barbarian was extremely powerful. He could almost hold his own against a 4th rank expert.

  An ordinary adventurer simply wouldn’t be able to keep blocking his axe. Although he most likely started off leniently, many adventurers were sent flying.

  This scared away a group of people and those that remained were most likely the ones with real ability.

  The notice said that they would set off for the remains the next day and it was estimated that they would take seven to eight days to finish exploring.

  And from his understanding about Saruha, it wouldn’t take that long. This vestige wasn’t that big. It just had a crazy amount of monsters inside.

  What he cared about most was that a majority of Saruha’s monsters were constructs.

  He vaguely remembered that there was a special existence among these constructs, Saruha’s Big Boss, called [Chaotic Memory Killer].

  This construct possessed a certain amount of intelligence and could communicate with people, yet from time to time it seemed to have an issue with its memories.

  If not for coming across this by chance, Marvin wouldn’t have recalled this matter.

  ‘Chaotic Memory Killer…’

  ‘Lost Memory Chip…’

  ‘Could they be related?’

  When this occurred to him, Marvin instantly made a decision.

  Might as well register for this expedition into the historical remains!

  Even if Saruha was dangerous, with Marvin’s current strength, how could there be an issue?

  In any case, he had ten days to waste in this ruin city, so he’d better make the most of it.

  Moreover, he now had the Legend Advancement Manual, but to advance to Ruler of the Night, he needed a huge amount of battle exp!

  With his current levels, he wanted to advance to Ruler of the Night by becoming a Level 8 Ranger and Level 10 Night Walker. Marvin’s Night Walker was still level 6, and if he wanted to reach level 10, the amount of battle exp he needed was frighteningly high.

  For this trip to the Dead Area, he was prepare to kill ruthlessly to gather battle exp.

  And Saruha’s monsters also gave relatively good amounts of experience. At the same time he could take a look at this Chaotic Memory Killer to check whether he had Mark 47’s Memory Chip. Three birds in one stone. Marvin naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

  Thus he also restrained himself and lined up obediently.

  Others froze momentarily when they saw Marvin stepping forward, and then were startled.

  The Barbarian defeated someone and casually looked at the line of people with a slight frown.

  But his gaze stopped on the last man!

  This was a tall middle-aged man with a face marked by the experiences he’d been through.

  The Barbarian exclaimed, “Dragon Slayer, Sir Robin!”

  The crowd immediately reacted to those words.

  “The Robin who tore the Black Dragon apart with his bare hands?”

  “He actually came to apply?”

  “Hold on, he could tear apart Black Dragon Clarke with his bare hands, that’s the strength of a Legend! That Wolf Spider mercenary group is lucky!”

  The people were discussing spiritedly.

  They had noticed Marvin’s disguise but didn’t dare point it out because they feared they might be wrong.

  After all, the story of Rocky Mountain’s Robin already spread through the Pambo Seashore, but most people only had a rough impression of his appearance.

  But this Barbarian had personally seen Robin!

  Thus he recognized him with a single glance.

  He humbly came over and asked, “Did you come to participate in this exploration?”

  “Sir Robin?” Marvin was a bit distracted.

  But he quickly recovered, remembering that his current appearance wasn’t just a nobody in the western seashore.

  Dragon Slayer Robin!

  This name had spread through the Pambo Seashore a while ago. With Marvin and Jessica’s rise in fame, Hope City and Rocky Mountain once again drew the eyes of many people.

  Although Marvin left Hope City soon after getting rid of Clarke, many people described his looks and accomplishments and spread the information.

  ‘I actually wanted to be inconspicuous…’

  Mar
vin smiled bitterly.

  When he left the Wood Elves’ cabin he used Disguise subconsciously. Thus, he didn’t really think about it, but he had actually used his famous Robin disguise.

  No wonder people gave him a strange look when he lined up… they recognized him.

  Marvin rolled his eyes. It was time to show off his acting skills.

  A surprised expression appeared on his face. “Robin? Who is Robin?”

  “My name is Kerry.”

  “You mistook me for someone?”

  After saying that he tilted his head and turned his body while quietly adjusting his disguise.

  This was a slight adjustment that happened at a lightning speed. Marvin barely modified his appearance, making his current disguise about 70% similar to Robin.

  Just as expected, the Barbarian was in a daze and sized him up once more before awkwardly laughing. “My bad, I made a mistake.”

  The people on the side laughed and relaxed.

  Of course!

  How could a Legend powerhouse like Robin care to look at the small Wolf Spider mercenaries?

  They just looked really similar.

  The Barbarian wasn’t angry after admitting he was wrong. He looked down at Marvin’s waist.

  In the rumors, Robin used a spear, and his other weapons were Sha firearms.

  But this “Kerry” was obviously using a pair of curved daggers, and seemed to be a Ranger. They weren’t using the same weapons, so he shouldn’t be Sir Robin.

  Thinking of this, he felt a bit embarrassed at his mistake.

  Marvin inwardly laughed. Being too high-profile wasn’t always good. Fortunately he had the Disguise skill, or else he would be the focus of attention everywhere he went.

  Whether it was Marvin or Robin, these two identities had very high fame. It was time to make up a new one.

  …

  Since it was confirmed that it wasn’t Robin, the test was still required.

  “Mister Kerry, if you want to participate in tomorrow’s expedition, you need to handle at least ten of my moves.”

  The Barbarian was clearly very confident in his own strength as he kindly advised, “If you aren’t strong enough, you might not be able to withstand my attacks.”

  If someone random person said the same words, the bystanders would have hissed in displeasure.

  But everyone saw the previous tests. Most of the adventurers weren’t close to being the Barbarian’s match. This guy was innately overpowered, so putting it this way wasn’t pride, but a sign of goodwill.

  “Bull isn’t one of the Vice Leaders of the Wolf Spiders for no reason.”

  “Yes, even if he is only at the 3rd rank, many 4th rank experts might not necessarily be his match.”

  “This test was without [Ancestors Blessings] and [Berserk Bloodline]. People say he is the Barbarian around here with the greatest prospects of advancing to Legend.”

  “Since that Kerry isn’t Sir Robin, he shouldn’t be Bull’s opponent. Look at his thin arms and legs, and those daggers that look like tree leaves. He won’t be able to block Bull!”

  The test continued and everyone couldn’t help but chat about it.

  There was no shortage of people who failed the test. They fought with Bull and knew that guy’s strength.

  Barbarians’ bodies were pretty strong. Overall, they would only be second to the Underdark’s Dark Elves. However, most Barbarians worshipped their ancestors. Worshipping their ancestors meant that they could obtain power from the spirits of their ancestors. At the same time, Barbarians could also have a Berserk Bloodline. With both, a strong 3rd rank Barbarian wouldn’t be inferior to an ordinary 4th rank expert.

  When he reached the front of the entrance, Marvin slightly nodded.

  The curtains opened on their fight!

  The Barbarian roared loudly before pouncing over. He lifted his huge axe, leaving an afterimage as his powerful presence spread over!

  But some people couldn’t help but cry out in surprise at that time!

  In a flash, Marvin brushed past the axe very nimbly.

  He wasn’t harmed at all.

  Under the Barbarian’s shocked gaze, Marvin’s dagger lightly pressed against his neck.

  “Passed?” he asked gently.

  The area turned silent.

  Marvin’s ghost-like movements and reaction speed made people completely unable to keep up!

  The Barbarian blinked three times before recovering.

  “Passed, of course you passed…” He gulped, his eyes filled with fear!

  Marvin smiled and drew back his dagger.

  Such a joke, he was a level 18 Ranger! How could he not deal with a level 15 Barbarian?

  Marvin didn’t need to use a trump card and only relied on his physical abilities to crush and overpower the Barbarian.

  This was the fearsomeness of Godly Dexterity!

  By the time audience recovered, Marvin had already taken care of the formalities with the Barbarian.

  He had to gather at the appointed location before tomorrow night.

  The exploration would start at nightfall. This was exactly what Marvin wanted.

  After he was accepted into the exploration group, Marvin quickly sneaked into the crowd and disappeared.

  The Barbarian followed Marvin with his eyes and quietly wiped his sweat.

  In that split second, he had truly felt killing intent.

  If he really made a move, he might have died.

  ‘This guy… So frightening.’

  The Barbarian felt cold. Even if this guy wasn’t Sir Robin, he was a very terrifying powerhouse.

  As he was pondering, he was surprised by someone suddenly patting his shoulder.

  The Barbarian turned around, stunned.

  It was a man hidden in a cloak, his voice sounding very pleasant. “I also want to participate in tomorrow’s exploration, can I pass the test?”

  The Barbarian nodded.

  “What should I call you?”

  The cloaked man glanced at Marvin’s shadow disappearing in the crowd and soon answered, “I am Gwyn.”

  …

  Marvin didn’t know what happened at the entrance of the Wolf Spider mercenary group’s courtyard after he left.

  He wandered in the city for a bit before ultimately choosing an inn as his temporary resting place.

  [Swing Inn]. A very interesting name.

  Marvin walked past the green leafy entrance and found out that all the seats inside this inn had been replaced by thick and solid swings.

  The business of this inn seemed average, and the hall only had a few people.

  The inn owner was a middle-aged woman. Her eyes seemed old. A beautiful face seemed to be hiding behind the passage of time as her wrinkles reflected the years that had passed.

  Marvin took a glance around and widened his eyes in shock.

  ‘It’s her?!’

  The shock on Marvin’s face promptly disappeared.

  Although he met an “old acquaintance”, she didn’t appear until a year later in the original timeline. From what he remembered, the [Bloodthirsty Witch] shouldn’t have matured yet.

  He calmed down completely and observed her, appreciating the nice surprise.

  Perhaps because the Swing Inn hadn’t had a client for a very long time, the owner greeted Marvin passionately.

  Marvin casually asked for some food and hot soup along with a peaceful room before going there to rest.

  The owner was followed by a very shy little girl. The girl seemed to be as old as Isabelle.

  She hid timidly behind the owner. From time to time she would look at Marvin with her big curious eyes.

  And when Marvin smiled at her, the little girl would hide again.

  She was a really beautiful girl.

  …

  Nightfall. Marvin stirred from his sleep.


  On the table, some bread and a plate of shredded meat had cooled down. He grabbed a cup of milk as he began to ponder.

  Encountering the opening of Saruha could be considered lucky, but meeting the Bloodthirsty Witch earlier made Marvin a bit suspicious.

  If he wasn’t wrong, this owner of the Swing Inn was called Barbara and wasn’t someone ordinary. She was previously part of the Dark Side!

  And that little girl was even more special. Although she wasn’t a Vampire, she was actually shouldering the Dark Side’s revival mission.

  The little girl was said to have the Holy Blood of that Vampire Duchess, the bloodline of the primogenitor [Yin].

  That bloodline power was extremely powerful. As long as it was aroused, the little girl would obtain strength comparable to that of the Duchess, Legend strength.

  In the plans of the Dark Side, that girl called Jo was to become their leader and rule the entire western coastline.

  After all, because of the interaction at the North-South border, the current South Wizard Alliance already didn’t pay attention to the western side.

  This was their opportunity to break away from the rule of the Wizard Alliance.

  The Dark Side had always been actively plotting this matter. And they succeeded in the game.

  Although Marvin didn’t know about the course of events, he knew that there was a powerhouse in the Dark Side that could match the Bright Side’s Duke William.

  This was the only piece of information about [Dawn of the Vampires: Dark and Bright].

  In that expansion, the Vampires officially entered Feinan’s core stage. It began in the chaotic world after the Great Calamity as they started killing their way out.

  It was just that the Bright and the Dark Sides had their own ideals. And the two sides couldn’t coexist.

  As for the players, they always chased after benefits for themselves. Coupled with the fact that the Dark Side was indeed a bit crazy, most players chose the mission to help the Bright Side, ultimately annihilating the Dark Side, only leaving some smouldering embers behind.

  In this event, Marvin, as a Ruler of the Night, also made great efforts. He had previously fought side by side with the Bright Side’s Duke William to clear out who knew how many Dark Side nests. This let him know the Vampires’ bodies like the back of his hand.

  As for the Bloodthirsty Witch Jo, she had her Holy Blood removed by the Great Duke William and went insane.
