Chapter 17 Slander
【Furies】
Quality: Glimmer
Attack: 7-13
Effect: Armor break + 4
...
This is a pair of regular scimitars.
At least the data displayed are pretty good. As a low-light item, it can probably be ranked at a medium level. After all, the attribute of armor-breaking is still very practical.
Other attributes, such as hidden attribute durability, require deeper identification. However, based on his own experience, Ma Wen observed the pair of scimitars slightly and initially predicted that the materials for the production of this pair of scimitars are very good, with good durability and sharpness.
The only disadvantage is that it seems to have been useless for a long time, and no one even oiled them.
This is the consequence of lack of maintenance. After Ma Wen bought the machete, the first thing he did was to simply maintain the two machetes to make them look sharper.
The Red Copper Dragon also gave Ma Wen a suitable pair of scabbards. The scabbards are made of leather by unknown creatures and feel very soft to the touch. They are very suitable for storing sharp weapons such as scimitars that are easy to injure people.
Ma Wen took a short rest on the professor's territory, then bid farewell to the kind red copper dragon and continued to head north.
After leaving the mountain, he arrived at the Moonlight Woodland in just half a day.
...
Moonlight Woodland is an enclave of the Wood Elf Kingdom, which seems to be related to an agreement reached by the Elf Kingdom and the wizards of the Third Ring Tower.
This is equivalent to a outpost battle between wood elves in the south, and it is also a buffer zone between elves and humans.
Here, there are some half-elves scattered villages. In fact, half-elves are a very unpopular group. Elfs absolutely exclude them, and humans also regard them as aliens, so adult half-elves usually form villages on their own.
The elves in the moonlight forest are basically merchants, responsible for dealing with surrounding human forces, which is quite reasonable.
Unlike some ancient elves deep in the elves, who still have not forgotten the glory of the Second Age High Elves' rule, they have always regarded humans as the lowest creatures, and are almost the same as the zombies and werewolves.
The moonlight forest is closely linked to the third ring tower in the north, with an average of two hot air balloons flying to the third ring tower every week.
Hot air balloons are the technology of dwarfs, but they were learned from the craftsmen and wizards of the Third Ring Tower. They made it into daily transportation tools. In the air where the Third Ring Tower and nearby forces are in contact, you can always see those hot air balloon caravans.
This is also a unique scenic spot on the East Coast.
It was a bit accidental when Ma Wen arrived, and the hot air balloon in the inn had just flew away.
So he had to wait patiently for the next shift.
Nothing happened while waiting. After Marvin presented his Baron Medal issued by the Southern Wizards Alliance, he easily bought a ticket.
Three days later, Ma Wen sat on a hot air balloon and headed to the Third Ring Tower.
Another day and a half later, Marvin successfully arrived at the inner ring area of the Third Ring Road High Tower.
A pointed tower in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the hot air balloon slowly landed on a clearing ground under the command of a slightly shorter wizard tower.
The Ashes Tower in the Third Ring Tower has arrived!
...
The Tower of Ashes is very large, and the Magor Academy is just one of the small areas.
After Ma Wen got off the hot air balloon, he followed the sign to Margore Academy.
Soon, he came outside the college, but if he wanted to enter the college, he still needed to queue up.
There is a level ahead that verifies the identity of the visitor.
"What day is today? So many people are visiting Margore Academy?"
Marvin was a little surprised at how many people were visiting.
Many people look either rich or noble, and they should be nobles near the East Coast.
They were all brought by their families. In a family, there would be a young child among them, with at least a dozen people.
"It turns out that the new apprentice recruitment time is coming soon."
Ma Wen suddenly realized. No wonder there are so many people today, so he had to wait patiently.
...
Margore Academy is a wizard apprentice training base opened by wizards in the Tower of Ashes.
Like the rest of the Wizard Academy, it is responsible for accepting various wizard-qualified apprentices sent from the Southern Wizards Alliance and training them to become qualified wizards.
Marvin's younger brother Winnie was sent out of the White River Valley to study at Margore Academy because he was detected to have a good wizard qualification.
Half a year ago, his father Gene passed away, and Winnie came back to see him. At that time, Marvin did not notice any abnormalities.
This nine-year-old younger brother showed wisdom and thoughts that were inconsistent with his age very early.
He never complained to Marvin. In fact, according to Marvin's speculation, Winnie must have been excluded a lot at the Margore Academy.
The White River Valley is very small and can only barely afford Winnie's tuition, while wizarding is a very expensive profession.
"What a stubborn child."
Recalling the still very young but strong face of Winnie, Ma Wen couldn't help but shake her head.
Unexpectedly, this happened this time.
Do those wizards really think that the White River Valley has completely declined since their grandfather?
No matter who did it, Marvin would make them regret it!
A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his hands couldn't help but hold the scimitar on his waist.
At this moment, the level ahead suddenly shouted: "Next."
Is it my turn?
Marvin narrowed his eyes and walked up quickly.
...
There were not many people responsible for the inspection, only one wizard apprentice, and two other warriors.
These warriors are not of higher level, they are all at first level, and they look like followers of the wizard apprentice.
The apprentice wore the logo of the Margore Academy, while the two followers did not.
He is only responsible for the simplest identity verification, and as long as the right number is up, he will be released.
This is also the confidence of the wizards of the Margore Academy. No one dares to make trouble on their territory.
"Baron Marvin from the White Valley?"
A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of the wizard's apprentice's mouth.
"That's right." Marvin seemed calm.
The wizard apprentice held Marvin's Baron Medal and a certificate of identity - also from the Southern Wizards Alliance.
"I haven't heard of this place," said the Wizard Apprentice.
"There are too many places you haven't heard of." Ma Wen frowned: "Denino, Sowaha, have you heard of it?"
The two nouns that Ma Wen spit out were all very dangerous places in the lower plane. With the knowledge of a wizard apprentice, he naturally would not understand them.
What made him very upset was the attitude of this apprentice.
"This guy... seems to know me..."
Marvin looked at the apprentice and felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, this apprentice's identity is equivalent to a receptionist, so there is no need to talk so much nonsense with him.
His eyelids twitched slightly and he had a bad premonition.
...
The apprentice was already sneering in his heart with Marvin's ID certificate and medal.
Sure enough, the news about Boss White was still very accurate. The miscellaneous brother would definitely arrive when he heard that he was sick.
But Boss White said that it would take more than a week to get from the Three Ring Tower from the White River Valley, and he thought Marvin was not that fast.
"No matter what, since Boss White has already given the order, we must get things done."
"The White River Valley has long since fallen. This Marvin is just a waste who cannot become a wizard. After his brother died, there is no hope of rising."
"There is no one behind them, and what I do is basically no risk. You don't need to hesitate to please the heirs of the unicorn family."
Such a thought flashed through his mind.
Suddenly shouted: "Your proof of identity is problematic! It is obviously forged!"
"You actually dare to pretend to be a nobleman!?"
"You two, take him down for me!"
Everyone next to him was shocked.
Pretending aristocrats? Is this a death sentence? Will anyone really do this?
However, before they could react, the two soldiers immediately pressed up from left to right.
...
"Hmm? Is there any problem? I dare to slander me."
Ma Wen was furious: "I really think I'm easy to bully?"
Without saying a word, he drew his sword and got on!
It’s never Marvin’s style to surrender. He is just two first-level warriors. Marvin is not afraid at all now!
