The cave was dark. Ma Wen used a flint to light a torch and stuck it into the mud at the side.
Pushing aside some rocks, the abandoned altar revealed its true appearance.
It was abandoned because the high elves who ruled Fernand in the second era had already left this land. No one repaired it, and after a long time, it was naturally abandoned.
However, it still had its basic functions.
The Ancient Elven God was a tolerant god. He allowed the existence of people without faith and was willing to make some trades with them. Therefore, Ma Wen was very confident in activating the altar.
If he was making a deal with some evil god, he would have to be extra careful. God knows if they would eat him after getting some benefits.
The runes on the ground were all in the high elves' language. Even the ordinary elves who stayed in Fernand were not proficient in it.
[You found the Ancient Elven Altar]
[Your Knowledge-Relic + 1]
[Knowledge-Relic (Ancient Elven Altar)]: This is an abandoned Ancient Elven Altar. Through it, you can carry out simple communication with the Ancient Elven God or his agent.
…
Ma Wen did not recognize these runes, but he knew how to activate the altar.
In the center of the altar, there was a small basin made of clay. There were some ferocious monsters painted on it.
These monsters were said to be the incarnations of the Ancient Elven God. They looked hideous, but their hearts were extremely kind.
He took out the Lich's Broken Finger and placed it on the basin.
After five breaths, the braziers around the altar suddenly lit up!
Puff puff!
Six divine flames lit up. This was a sign that the altar had been activated!
"As expected, the divinity on the Lich's Broken Finger attracted the attention of the Ancient Elven God. Even if it's not the Ancient Elven God himself, it's a consciousness clone! "
Marvin revealed a hint of a smile.
If he did not have the Lich's Broken Finger, he would have to use another method to activate the altar, which would consume a lot of gems.
But now, this cost could be waived. After all, divinity was still very rare in the current world of Fernand.
In the center of the altar, a ball of fire burned. The fire gradually dispersed, and an ugly human face appeared.
"What do you want? A descendant of the Numan? "
Numan?
Ma Wen was slightly stunned. He had originally thought that he was just an ordinary human. Although there was a question mark behind his race, it was most likely a very hidden bloodline. But he did not expect himself to be a descendant of the Numan people.
Those fellows were hailed as natural-born Spell Casters. In the third era, they had even established their own country. Later, because they were too powerful, they were jointly exiled to the void by the other tribes.
In other words, the Numans were natural-born warlocks. They were not natives of Fernand, but outsiders.
But now was not the time to think about this. He quickly made his request to the flaming face.
After listening to Ma Wen's request, the flaming face was silent for a while before it slowly said,
"This is the broken finger of the Lich Angmar. It contains great power. Your price is very fair."
"Take three steps back and you will get what you want."
Ma Wen did as he was told. He took three steps back and arrived outside the altar.
Whoosh!
The face in the center of the altar dissipated. The pottery basin also burst into flames. The broken finger of the Lich disappeared in the flames.
This was a fair trade between Ma Wen and the Elven Ancient God.
Anyway, the broken finger of the Lich was temporarily useless to him. He might as well exchange it for something that he could use now.
In a flash, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the center of the flames.
At the same time, two balls of light flew out and went straight into the center of Ma Wen's eyebrows.
Ma Wen did not dodge and allowed the two balls of light to enter his body. The Elven Ancient God was still very trustworthy.
The first ball of light was the blessing of the Elven Ancient God.
[Blessing of Waters]: Your Agility + 1
Although the effect was simple, it was very practical. After all, attribute points were too precious.
With this, Ma Wen's base Agility reached 19 points. If he faced many enemies, with the bonus of the title [Chaotic Battle Master], his Agility could reach 20 points!
With 20 Agility, he would reach the threshold of an Agility Super Elder, and he would be able to obtain the Agility Super Trait [Wall Vaulting]!
Wall Vaulting was a very practical trait. Ma Wen missed it very much. Although he had to meet certain conditions to activate this trait, it could still greatly increase his battle power.
The second ball of light was a Loyalty Mark.
[Loyalty Mark]: Your two followers will forever be loyal to you.
"Master! Kyle Amber swears loyalty to you! "
"Master! Simon Agate swears loyalty to you! "
Two elves, one tall and one short, walked down from the altar and bowed to Ma Wen.
Amber, and Agate. The Elven Ancient God's naming skills were really quite good. Although you like gems and the like, is it really good to use these names as the surnames of your descendants?
Ma Wen cursed in his heart and began to understand the strength of his two loyal subordinates.
Just as Shi Feng had expected, the Ancient Elven God had given him two powerful goons, both Tier 2 Phantom Assassins!
Their attributes were about the same. Kyle was male and slightly stronger, while Simon was female and had higher Charisma. The rest of their attributes were standard Grade 2 Elven Phantom Assassins, and they had all kinds of skills.
With two bodyguards by his side, Ma Wen felt a lot more secure. This was a bona fide Tier 2 expert.
They were Grade 7 Thief and Grade 3 Phantom Assassin. They had the strongest assassination ability in Grade 2, and their Perception was quite good, which was exactly what Ma Wen needed.
The only drawback was that these two fellows were not real elves. They were just creatures created by the Elven Ancient God. Although they had intelligence, their strength could not increase with battle.
But it was enough to deal with the current situation.
"It's time for the Miller family to pay the price. They killed my father and stole my territory with the Gnolls."
"This debt can only be repaid with blood!"
Ma Wen asked Kyle to keep watch and had a good sleep in the warm cave. The next morning, the three of them left the Deathly Hills.
After another three days, they returned to River Beach City.
…
In the room of the Black Horned Eagle Inn.
Anna looked worriedly at the empty room and sighed.
She had already returned to River Beach City last night. Along with her, there were twenty young men from the Garrison Guards!
They were dressed as ordinary farmers, entered the city in batches, and checked into the nearby inns.
Ma Wen left Anna a sum of money, which was enough for her to arrange these things.
There was a letter on the table, written by Ma Wen to Anna. It was probably to reassure her that he would be back soon.
But Anna was not at ease.
She had already heard about the fate of the Akron Mafia. They were single-handedly wiped out by a guy called the Dual Blade Mask.
Anna was not a fool. Although she was surprised by Ma Wen's courage and strength, she could accurately determine that the Dual Blade Mask was Ma Wen himself.
"It's too dangerous. Why is Master Ma Wen so impulsive? "
Anna was a little anxious. She did not know what Ma Wen was doing, but her woman's intuition told her that Ma Wen must be doing something dangerous.
She hoped that she could help, but now she could only sit and wait for Ma Wen's news.
She felt an inexplicable irritation in her heart.
"Knock knock knock!"
There were three rhythmic knocks on the door.
It must be Andre. This guy was the captain of the guards. Although he was very loyal, he was also impulsive.
Anna took a deep breath and went to open the door.
There were three people standing outside the door.
"Master Ma Wen?!"
Anna looked surprised.
"They are …?"
She looked at the two powerful professionals behind Ma Wen.
"They're the helpers I've invited."
Ma Wen smiled. "Where are Andre and the others?"
"They are nearby. They were very angry when they heard that you were assassinated."
Anna responded.
"That's good." Ma Wen nodded. "Go and arrange for them to gather in the east corner of the Fortune Square in the wealthy area after sunset."
"Rich people's district?" Anna was stunned.
"Yes, tonight we are going to take action against the real mastermind behind the scenes."
Ma Wen said lightly, "Before that, I need to take care of some things. You must be careful. Don't let people recognize them as the White River Valley guards."
Anna had too many questions in her heart, but listening to Ma Wen's unquestionable orders, she could only suppress her doubts for the time being.
"Okay, I'll do it now!"
…
At sunset, outside the town hall, a pot-bellied official got into a carriage and went home.
What he didn't know was that three Rogues hiding in the dark had their eyes on him.
The carriage stopped in the wealthy area. The fat man leisurely got out of the carriage and went into the study room.
He had some secret documents that needed to be dealt with.
However, the moment he stepped into the study room, he felt something was wrong!
