Immunity to lethal damage!
This was a characteristic possessed by some grade 4 professions.
Once they reached this level, their vitality would become very strong. Even if they were hit in a fatal spot, they would not die immediately.
For example, the Ogre that Ma Wen encountered before was in this situation.
Of course, not all professions could obtain the ability to be immune to lethal damage.
For example, assassins and thieves among the Rogues, even if they were promoted to grade 4, it would be difficult for them to obtain immunity to lethal damage. The same was true for Wizards and Warlocks.
Rangers, on the other hand, were considered to be relatively strong in frontal combat among the Rogues. Their physique was also relatively good, which was why they could obtain such a characteristic.
…
After being promoted to grade 4, two attribute points and a large number of skill points were urgently waiting for Ma Wen to distribute.
However, he hesitated for a moment and chose to temporarily put aside the two attribute points.
Free attribute points were very precious. Generally speaking, before getting 30 points of [Divine Agility], he would not consider using them on other attributes.
However, now his agility was limited by his physique. If he did not find a way to improve his physique in other ways, it would be a pity to waste attribute points on physique.
In Ma Wen's memory, there were still some ways to quickly improve physique, but he did not have the time to do so for a while.
When this matter was completely over, he still had to embark on the journey to Stony Mountain.
And on that path, there was a special hot spring that could improve physique.
However, next to the hot spring, there was a terrifying monster guarding, so it was not so easy to soak in the hot spring.
As for the skill points, Ma Wen quickly made a decision.
With 48 skill points of the Ranger profession, he did not choose to use [Hiding]. With the growth of his strength, this most important skill of the Ranger had become a little useless.
It was a little redundant to put the skill points into [Hiding]. Moreover, with the profession ability [King of the Wild] and the Nocturnal Walker's [Nocturnal], these skills were already powerful enough. If he put in more skill points, he would not get more marginal effects.
So he chose a passive skill – [Hand Kung Fu].
48 Skill Points were all thrown into it.
This skill was a passive skill that could greatly increase the dexterity of Ma Wen's hands. This passive skill was a must-have for Thieves. Although Ma Wen was a Ranger, when he became a Night Dominator, he would be able to use both the Turning Blade and the Dagger at the same time. This skill would come in very handy!
He could make Ma Wen's attacks flow more smoothly!
…
After the Nightwalker reached level 5, he received another 36 Nightwalker Skill Points. In addition to the 16 points he had accumulated previously, he had a total of 52 points.
Ma Wen also chose to invest in new skills.
This time, he chose [Dark Shadow Evasion], a skill that could only be learned at Level 5 in the Nightwalker's skill list!
[Shadow Evasion]: Can be used to escape in places with shadows.
Without a doubt, this was an escape spell, and what the previous Ma Wen lacked the most was this kind of escape spell.
Dark Shadow Evasion, Dark Night Jump, and Melody of the Night allowed Ma Wen to have an unimaginable ability to enter or escape at night.
The best part was that, unlike Melody of the Night and Dark Night Jump, Dark Shadow Evasion had no time limit.
Although it could only be used twice a day, its biggest advantage was that it could be used during the day!
This gave Ma Wen a greater chance of escaping in the face of great danger.
At the same time, the 50 points of [Dark Shadow Evasion] could also trigger a very good hidden effect [Quick Vanish].
[Quick Vanish]: Your speed when using Dark Shadow Evasion is increased by 50%.
Do not underestimate this 50%. Many times, a moment's difference in time could affect the entire battle.
As for the remaining two skill points, Ma Wen threw them into [Summon Raven]. After all, this skill was quite useful.
…
Sprinting all the way, Ma Wen could not wait to pass through River Beach City and quietly arrive at the White River Valley.
When he arrived at the White River Valley, it was already afternoon.
However, what surprised him was that there was an army lined up at the border of the White River Valley!
Ma Wen frowned. He activated Sneak and then used Disguise to disguise himself as someone else.
He quietly approached and took a closer look —
It was the army of River Beach City!
"Madeline!"
Ma Wen took a deep breath!
He silently sensed the Law Contract — sure enough, during the days when he was away from Fernand, the Contract had disappeared!
From this point of view, she had already become a Legendary!
This woman was indeed very ambitious. As soon as she became a Legendary, she couldn't wait to settle the score with him?
Ma Wen laughed and quietly left.
…
In the conference room of the castle in the White River Valley.
A messenger from River Beach City was speaking with fervor and assurance.
"Viscount Ma Wen has fallen. This is the result that everyone has witnessed.
"Although I don't understand these mysterious things, I can still understand the ruling of the Alliance.
"Unfortunately, Viscount Ma Wen has passed away. His position will naturally be inherited by his younger brother, Young Master Vigny. However, considering that Young Master Vigny is still a minor, it is obviously not appropriate for her to preside over the current White River Valley.
"Therefore, considering the friendship between our master and Viscount Ma Wen, she has decided to include the White River Valley in the protection of River Beach City according to the regulations of the Alliance.
"This is the signature of the vassal.
"As long as Young Master Vigny voluntarily signs, swears loyalty to Madeline and becomes her vassal, she will naturally protect the White River Valley."
The messenger arrogantly handed over a sheepskin scroll.
Vigny didn't even look at it and directly pushed it away.
Then she very calmly said to the messenger, "I have said many times, my brother is still alive."
The messenger smiled slightly. "Perhaps, unfortunately, the Alliance doesn't think so."
He took out a death certificate of Ma Wen issued by the Southern Wizard Alliance. It described Ma Wen's contributions: opening up territory for the Alliance, sacrificing himself for Fernand … A lot of gorgeous words were written densely, and finally, Ma Wen's death was announced.
His family business would be inherited by his younger brother Vigny. This was the tradition of the Alliance.
However, at this time, Madeline suddenly interfered and dug out a lot of old regulations from who knows where. On the surface, it was said that they wanted to protect the White River Valley, but in fact, they just wanted to annex this fertile land.
Of course, Vigny was not a fool. He knew very well what he should do.
That was to firmly deny Ma Wen's death — even if the hope was really slim. Because even Madeline Hathaway had lost control and slaughtered all the strongholds of the Twin Snake Sect on the East Coast, and now it was said that she had gone north.
The entire White River Valley was in a state of panic.
Although Anna had announced that Ma Wen was not dead, and that they had only temporarily lost contact with him.
But early the next morning, every household had a death certificate of Ma Wen personally signed by the Alliance.
This caused the White River Valley to become somewhat unstable.
Without a doubt, this was Madeline's doing.
A territory could not be without a lord.
A constantly expanding territory could not be without a lord who could stabilize the people's hearts.
It was obvious that although Vigny was very capable, he was still too young.
During these days, the one who had been suppressing the situation was Daniela.
Although this girl had come for the Great Devil Monarch's head from the start. But when the true crisis occurred in the White River Valley, she did not retreat, but instead stood out.
The various disturbances in the territory were all personally suppressed by Daniela!
And today was no different.
In the conference room, in front of the emissary, the future Arctic Empress tore the parchment.
"Scram in three seconds."
"The White River Valley does not need protection."
Daniela said rudely.
The emissary said sinisterly, "The world has not been peaceful recently. There are even mounted bandits on the official roads …"
However, before he could finish speaking, his whole body was frozen into an ice sculpture!
An icy aura spread throughout the entire conference room.
Anna and Vigny's eyes showed some surprise.
Even if they were going to war with River Beach City, wasn't it a basic principle not to kill emissaries when two armies fought? No matter how annoying this emissary was, they could just get someone to chase him away.
By doing this, Daniela had completely shed all pretense of cordiality with River Beach City.
But they did not speak up to dissuade her. This was because they had been holding it in for the past few days, and they were already very unhappy!
Forget it, Daniela, an outsider, dared to go against Madeline for the sake of the White River Valley. Anna and Vigny naturally had no reason not to support her!
"Hey, big blockhead, do you dare to give this ice sculpture to that bitch?"
Daniela said coldly to the Dark Warrior standing at the side.
The latter was silent for a while, then walked out step by step with the ice sculpture in his arms.
Daniela was the first to leave the conference room. After a while, she walked back and said solemnly to Anna and Vigny:
"Don't worry, I won't let her get her way."
"I'm betting on the reputation of the Lavis royal family."
Her eyes were so determined.
…
"So in the Alliance's eyes, I'm already a dead man?"
The disguised Ma Wen walked in the slightly desolate White River Valley.
The adventurers seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and all hid in the camp on the other side of the river.
The Alliance's verdict on Ma Wen's death was all over the ground. Meanwhile, from the conversations of the crowd, Marvin also learned of Madeline's intentions in coming here!
She actually wanted to take advantage of his "death" to prepare to annex the White River Valley!
"Haha, this woman is really courting death.
"Does she really think that she has nothing to fear now that she's a Legend?"
Ma Wen looked coldly at the pieces of paper with his "portrait" drawn on it and secretly made up his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a Dark Warrior approaching!
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat. He did not show up in public, but instead hid!
In this most difficult time, it was the best proof of people's hearts.
Ma Wen simply hid in the dark to see who was loyal to the White River Valley and who was the real fence-sitter.
…
At the junction of the White River Valley and River Beach City.
The army of River Beach City stood solemnly. Next to them hung the flag of the Silver Church. Those were the Guardian Knights of the Silver God.
"Sir, are we really going to do this?" Guderian asked unhappily.
Collins said leisurely, "The situation in the South is different now. You have to pay attention, Madeline is also a Legend. As for Ma Wen, it's all his fault that he died so early. "
"Now that he can't pay, of course we will help Madeline."
"If only his brother knew what was good for him and didn't have to fight, it would be better."
"But … it seems like things are going from the bad side …"
Along with Collins' voice, the Dark Warrior carrying the ice sculpture of the messenger walked step by step along the official road.
Whoosh!
He suddenly threw the ice sculpture over. The target was the most luxurious carriage in the River Beach City army!
Daniela followed behind him alone, her expression determined.
Boom!
An exaggerated fireball formed out of thin air and directly smashed the ice sculpture!
Ice and fire blended together. Blood and minced meat rained down, all sprinkling among the army.
The soldiers of River Beach City were uneasy.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … you killed my people. Are you going to start a war?"
Madeline's seductive voice came from the luxurious carriage.
Daniela stepped forward step by step. A trail of ice instantly formed under her feet.
"Madeline, don't even think about taking another step."
"Young miss Daniela, I know your background." Madeline continued to calmly sit in the carriage, lazily conversing with Daniela.
She was indeed qualified to do so because she was already a Legendary Wizard, while Daniela was still a Quasi-Legendary!
"You are the Princess of Lavis. Even if you have an engagement with Ma Wen, he is dead now. There is no need for you to go against me."
She tried to persuade Daniela.
If it were someone else, Madeline would have already killed them out of impatience.
However, Daniela's family still made her a little afraid.
But Daniela's determination was completely incomprehensible!
She said coldly,
"I'll say it again. Don't even think about taking another step forward with your army."
"I don't like Ma Wen, but I like Vigny very much. In fact, it's not bad to have a cute brother. Of course, the most important thing is that I like this place very much."
"Every piece of land that you and your army are about to step into is personally built by me. How can I allow you to trample on it so easily?"
Madeline was silent.
After a long time, a helpless voice came from the carriage.
"So, we can only fight?"
"Either we retreat or we fight."
Daniela's body began to change slowly. Her skin became even whiter, and a shocking chill erupted from her body!
Ice Angel Form!
"Ice Angel? Interesting. "Madeline's teasing voice suddenly came from behind Daniela!
Unknowingly, a Door of Space opened behind her.
Daniela was caught off guard and was whipped to the ground by Madeline's Flame Whip!
