The back room of the blacksmith shop was completely different from the dirty and messy front room.
It was neat and tidy with oil paintings hanging on the walls. It looked like it was frequently cleaned.
There were a total of eighteen candles that burned for a long time.
Ma Wen observed for a while. Although these candles weren't very long, they were very durable. Some were long while some were short.
"As you can see, including me, there are only eighteen Night Walkers left in Fernand."
"Our members are decreasing day by day. Every time a candle burns out, a Night Walker will leave this world. "
The old man's voice became serious.
Ma Wen nodded. From the corner of his eye, he saw an extinguished candle standing at the edge of the eighteen candles.
"That was a member who left recently. I didn't have time to bury his candle."
The old man said sentimentally, "I have already lost the ability to fight, or else I would have definitely taken revenge for him."
"He was killed by the Scarlet Patriarch of the Twin Snakes Cult. He was tracking the whereabouts of these evil followers, but unexpectedly fell into their trap."
"If you really join the ranks of the Night Walkers, then you will be taking his place."
"Therefore, you have to kill the Scarlet Patriarch. This is your destiny, do you understand?"
Ma Wen calmly nodded.
He knew that the Night Walker Advanced Profession wasn't that simple.
Not only were they an organization, but they also seemed to bear some kind of mission to protect the continent.
Every Night Walker was exceptionally united — at least the natives were like this. They called each other 'brothers'.
They were the subordinates of the Night Monarch in ancient times and always believed in some ancient creeds.
Normally, they would choose to remain dormant. Only at special times would they reveal their true strength in front of the world.
Ma Wen actually didn't know much about Night Walkers. He only knew that in the game, there seemed to be a small patch about the appearance of this profession.
The night is coming.
These four words were the motto of the Night Walker organization, and also a prophecy.
In short, this was an unusual organization. They leaned towards justice, but they hid in the shadows.
...
"Of course, the current you doesn't have the qualifications to talk about this."
The old man's gaze moved away from the candle.
"Although Seers are people with outstanding potential, not every Seer can become a Night Walker."
"You need to go through some tests, including ability, character, willpower, and so on. And in the process of these tests, you may die, understand? "
Ma Wen nodded firmly.
If he couldn't even deal with this little bit of danger, then his title as the Ruler of the Night would be in vain.
"Very good."
Seeing Ma Wen's firm attitude, the old man showed a look of approval for the first time.
The Night Walkers didn't care about one's background. They only pursued one creed, and that was to protect Fernand when night fell.
For this reason, the ancient Night Monarch had left them many treasures.
The old man pushed open a side door, and it seemed to be a place similar to an operating theater.
"Before the first test, I will give you something."
"Go in, lie down, open your eyes, and don't do anything else."
Ma Wen was a little nervous, but he still followed the old man's orders.
He was lying on the chair like a patient who was about to have his teeth extracted.
The old man rummaged through the cabinets and found something, then slowly came to Ma Wen's back.
"No matter what you see, don't panic."
He said indifferently, "Those are just illusions."
In the next second, Ma Wen's vision turned black.
A black bandage was tied in front of his eyes.
Suddenly, a burning pain came from his eyeballs, and he heard the old man's muttering of an incantation!
The world spun!
Ma Wen felt like he was going to die from the pain, and his whole body stiffened!
But he didn't move.
He clenched his teeth, and tears flowed out of his eyes. He couldn't tell if they were tears or blood!
An illusion began to appear in front of his eyes.
A blazing fireball kept rolling in front of his eyes, and a dark figure appeared in the fireball!
That person had a cold expression, and was incomparably cunning. He held a dagger in his hand, and suddenly shrank it, disappearing into the light.
But the shadow was still there.
Ma Wen saw himself, saw the shadow suddenly appear behind him, and the dagger stabbed into his back!
He only felt a crazy pain in his heart!
"It's all an illusion!"
He told himself.
But this didn't reduce his pain. He knew that man, it was the Shadow Prince he was so familiar with!
The illusion and the burning sensation alternately attacked Ma Wen's nerves, and after more than an hour, the old man's muttering finally stopped.
…
The bandage was removed, and Ma Wen was covered in cold sweat.
"Your physique is too weak." The old man said with dissatisfaction, "You should come and learn to forge from me."
Ma Wen smiled bitterly, and opened his eyes, only to see a blur.
"My eyes … what's wrong?"
He blinked, and at first it was a blur — then everything became clear in an instant.
Wait!
This was clearly in the dark!
"As a Night Walker, how can you not have night vision?"
"The eyes that the Night Lord gave us are much stronger than those that evolved from the harsh underground environment."
"You should experience it well."
"After you've rested, it's time for your first test."
After saying this, the old man handed a sheepskin scroll to Ma Wen.
Marvin was pleasantly surprised as he looked all around!
Did he just get super strong night vision?
He hurriedly checked the data record.
[You are receiving the Night Lord's blessing …]
[Illusion check in progress …]
[Pain check in progress …]
[You have obtained night vision!]
…
Night vision! Not night vision!
The so-called night vision was just a spell or item that allowed one to see a certain distance in the dark.
Even within the range of night vision, one might not be able to see clearly.
But [Night Vision] was different!
This was true vision, which meant that Ma Wen could see things around him as clearly in the dark as in the day — and after becoming a Night Walker, he could even see further and clearer!
This was the strength of a Night Walker.
In the distant underground, in the Mysterious Kingdom, the Night Elves were born with infrared vision, and the high-level Drow Warriors were equipped with powerful skills such as [Sound Identification] and [Blind Combat], but all of these paled in comparison to night vision.
Even night-type spells could not hide in the face of night vision!
From now on, night could no longer cover Ma Wen's eyes.
After the excitement, Ma Wen calmed down.
The Night Walkers in the real world seemed to be stronger than in the game. And this organization was also very powerful because they had the inheritance of the Night Lord.
He joined the Night Walkers not only because of his advancement, but also because he could rope in a powerful organization.
Ma Wen and the Night Walkers did not have conflicting goals, so both sides could work together.
"Let's pass the Night Walker test first. I heard that the Night Walker test is very strict. "
Ma Wen thought as he opened the sheepskin scroll in his hand.
There was a mission recorded in the common language, and after Ma Wen read it, his expression changed immediately!
At the same time, in his mission panel, there was an additional [Profession Advancement – Night Walker] mission!
This meant that from the moment he obtained night vision, his advancement had already begun, and there was no turning back!
[Profession Advancement – Night Walker]
[Mission 1: Ability Test]: Every Night Walker is a one in a million expert, they can take charge of an area on their own, especially when night falls, other professions are no match for them. If you want to become a Nightwalker, you have to show your strength.
[Mission Target: Marcus Thieves Gang.]
[Mission Requirement: Kill everyone in the bandit group!]
[Mission Time Limit: One week]
[Mission Reward: Qualifications for the next test; 1500 General Experience]
...
Below was a detailed description of the mission. The Marcus Thieves were entrenched in a strange barren mountain on the west side of Oak Town, adjacent to the Deathly Silent Hills.
This group of thieves was made up of a total of five members. They were all good at fighting alone, but because of various bounties, they banded together.
All in all, this was a very troublesome group of people.
But the old man's request was for Ma Wen to kill all five of them within a week!
"That's a bit difficult."
Ma Wen frowned. But he did not hesitate and directly left the blacksmith shop. Taking advantage of the night, he began to move.
(About to begin advancement! Looking for a big * * * to recommend and encourage!)
