[Zombie Feast] was a continuous spell. Once it was completed, unless the cursed zombies were destroyed, the spell would continue indefinitely.
This was the case even if the user of the spell, Hessian, had been killed by Ma Wen.
In just a few minutes, the shadows outside the cabin had joined together.
Marvin made a prompt decision. He gave up on the small room that had a huge hole created by the corrosive fire and retreated to the living room with Anna.
The two moved quickly and forcibly sealed the door and windows before the zombies could break in.
This could delay them for a while, but it wasn't a long-term solution.
In the living room, the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant. Hessian's corpse lay there quietly, black blood flowing all over the ground.
Anna lowered her head in shame. She didn't expect Hessian to be so powerful. If it weren't for Ma Wen, she might have been killed by this despicable old man.
She blamed herself for not being able to stop Hessian's [Zombie Feast].
Ma Wen said softly, "It's not your fault. Anna. The Warlock's spells are impossible to defend against. These cursed zombies were carefully dealt with by him. They were buried around the house and could be summoned at any time. That's why his casting time was reduced by more than half. "
"We have to find a way to kill these zombies now."
Anna nodded with a hint of worry. "These zombies are all cursed. Without holy water, it'll be difficult for us to hurt them."
Ma Wen smiled silently. "Who said we don't have holy water?"
With that, he took out two bottles of holy water and placed them on the table.
They were even labeled as products of the Silver Church.
"The thing I like most about the Silver Church is that they're willing to sell anything as long as you can pay the price."
Ma Wen skillfully smeared the holy water on his scimitar to guard against the zombies that could break in at any time.
His gaze had been sizing up the living room since the beginning.
There was a mystery here, which was the most important reason why Ma Wen chose to find trouble with the Corpse Thief, Hessian.
It was said that he had a treasure chest.
…
After killing Hessian, the Warlock's 220 experience points were all taken by Ma Wen. This generous EXP gift pack was more than enough for Marvin to level up to Level 3 with extra.
While searching for possible treasure chests in the house, he allocated 118 Slaughter EXP to the Ranger profession.
A wave of heat flowed through him, and his profession level was instantly raised to Level 3!
Leveling up from a Level 3 Ranger to a Level 4 Ranger required 800 EXP, so Ma Wen didn't touch the remaining 102 Slaughter EXP.
Without a doubt, he threw a Free Attribute Point into Agility. Before his Agility reached 20 points and he obtained the Agility Trait [Wall Vaulting], he would not put any Free Attribute Points into other attributes. As a result, his Agility had reached 18 points.
The 24 Skill Points he got from leveling up were temporarily reduced to 18 Skill Points, and the remaining 6 Skill Points were put into [Stealth]. This way, he could activate the 50 Stealth effect [Element of Surprise].
[Element of Surprise]: When you launch a sneak attack on the enemy while in Stealth, damage * 2.
This effect, coupled with the Backstab skill of the Rogue, was quite amazing. It could directly deal four times the damage. Coupled with other combo methods, it allowed the Rogue to have explosive power that other professions could not achieve. But now that Ma Wen was a Ranger, his combat ability was stronger than a Rogue's, but he was slightly weaker in sneak attacks.
After reaching Level 3, what Ma Wen most looked forward to was the additional profession ability.
There were three kinds of Level 3 profession abilities for Rangers: [Accurate Shooting], [Dual Blade], and [Nature Affinity].
[Accurate Shooting]: Greatly increases the accuracy and stability of shooting.
[Dual Blade]: You can use two curved swords as weapons. Your left and right hands are quite balanced.
[Nature Affinity]: Greatly increases the ability to tame wild beasts.
The three profession abilities represented the three schools of Rangers: Bow and Arrow Kiting School, Dual Blade Melee Ranger, and the legendary Wild Ranger.
Ma Wen, who boasted of his close combat experience and ability to kill 99% of the professions in Fernand's world, naturally would not give up his biggest advantage. Compared to hiding and shooting from a distance, he trusted the curved sword in his hand more!
Without a doubt, he chose [Dual Blade]!
The explosive power of a Dual Blade Ranger was no less than that of a Rogue or even an advanced Assassin!
The most unfortunate thing was that Ma Wen did not have a suitable curved sword on hand. This white curved sword was still a little light for him. As for his left hand, he could only use a poor quality dagger instead.
A Level 3 Ranger had 68 HP and a sudden increase in resistance to attacks, which greatly increased Ma Wen's sense of security.
…
"What are you looking for?"
Anna imitated Ma Wen's movements and smeared holy water on the long sword. She looked at Ma Wen strangely.
The wooden hut creaked. The zombies outside were about to break in. What was he looking for?
"I heard that Hessian has a chest filled with his ill-gotten gains from the graveyard over the years."
Ma Wen explained.
Anna's eyes flashed with a trace of inexplicable color. "Heard?"
She was not a fool.
"During the day, when you are not here, I will walk around. Ask about some information. " Ma Wen's ability to cover up lies was still very strong. "I have long heard people say that Hessian will steal the property of the dead."
"But on the way here, you told me that Hessian might have something special." Anna asked strangely. "This is not something that ordinary people can know, right?"
"I know that he does business with Necromancers." Ma Wen said lightly. "After a long time, he naturally has some tricks up his sleeve."
"Anna, believe me, I have gained knowledge and abilities that you cannot imagine in the dream. My teacher taught me many things. I will not harm you. "
A trace of hesitation appeared on Anna's face, but she nodded in the end.
The ability that Ma Wen displayed after waking up from a serious illness had indeed made her look at him in a new light. The Necromancer that she was helpless against was easily beheaded by Ma Wen. Although he also had the special characteristics of his profession, his ability could not be underestimated.
"Found it! So it's here! "
A secret compartment was revealed under a thick carpet.
Ma Wen quickly opened it without any precautions.
Hessian was isolated from the world and was a loner. He was only a Necromancer, not a thief who knew how to set traps. There was no need to worry about triggering any terrifying traps.
Removing the wooden plank on the secret compartment, there was indeed a small chest inside!
Bang!
A round log that formed the wall of the living room was abruptly torn apart by claws, revealing a gap!
A fat zombie with pus dripping from its body reached its hand into the room.
"Ma Wen!"
Anna's nervous voice rose an octave.
"Don't worry, they can't come in." Ma Wen glanced at the gap and knew that the zombies could not squeeze in.
There was still some time, but not much.
Ma Wen quickly lifted the chest and put it on the floor.
The chest was not locked. Perhaps Hessian did not expect that someone would target him.
Ma Wen opened the chest, and the top compartment was filled with silver coins. Anna was stunned. She did not expect that the despicable corpse thief was so rich.
"Put these silver coins." Ma Wen pulled out the top compartment and handed it to Anna. The latter decisively took out a few cloth bags and put the small silver coins in them.
The second layer was Hessian's personal belongings. There was a [Necromancer Advancement Manual] that was traded from a necromancer, and a [Spellcasting Record]. Together with Hessian's spellbook, they could basically form a basic set for a low-level Illusionist. They could be sold for a good price in the black market, provided that they were not caught by the law enforcement of the Wizard Alliance.
The Wizard Alliance banned necromancers and other related professions. This was something that everyone knew.
Ma Wen wrapped the two books together with the spellbook in a tablecloth and put it aside.
The thing he wanted was still on the third layer.
Removing the partition on the second layer, there were only two things on the third layer, and they were covered with dust.
"Sure enough, the brains of the Necromancers are not very good. They don't know how to use the real good things. "
Ma Wen saw the two things and smiled.
The black diamond ring on Hessian's hand was useful, and it could specify a spell, but it also had a lot of restrictions.
The two things in the chest were the real treasures!
These were all genuine glimmering items!
"Together with the black diamond ring, there are three glimmering items! Sure enough, killing humanoid Elite monsters is the fastest way to earn money. "Marvin happily took out the pair of gloves and a simple ring from the third floor.
He was very familiar with these two things, and he did not even need Detection to know their attributes!
[Terrible Gloves]
Quality: Glimmering
Effect: Ice Resistance + 5, Fire Resistance + 5
Requirement: Intelligence 11
[Wishing Ring (?)]
Quality: Glimmering
Effect: Additional spell – Rainbow Spray, limited to one use per day
Requirement: Intelligence 13
…
Most of the items in this world were white board, which meant they were the most ordinary items without any additional effects. The next level up would be the [Glimmer] items, which had some decent properties. Of course, there were also some [Glimmer] items with very average properties. The next level up would be the [Magic] items, which could only be made by elite wizards. Magic items were rarely circulated among ordinary people, and only high-level wizards might have some because the production process was very complicated.
As for things like legendary, epic, or even demi-artifact, it was a bit too far away. When Ma Wen successfully became a god with the identity of the Master of the Night, he only had a demi-artifact "Kingdom of Eternal Night" in his hand.
The weapons in the hands of low-level adventurers were all white board, and having a glimmering equipment was already quite a feat.
After Ma Wen killed Hessian, he got three glimmering items in one go. How could he not be happy?
He quickly put on the terrifying glove and then wore the Wishing Ring on his right index finger.
In the previous generation, the Turin Fairy had forged 49 Wishing Rings, each of which contained powerful magic power and were all real magic items. Now, the rings that Ma Wen had obtained were probably imitations made by human craftsmen or alchemists.
Even so, this ring had greatly increased his strength.
Hessian might not know how to activate the [Rainbow Spray] on the ring, but he did.
"Ma Wen! They're about to break in! "
Anna put away the silver coins and shouted nervously.
"I understand."
Ma Wen stood up with a scimitar in his left hand and a dagger in his right.
"Leave them to me."
