Night Ranger

An unforeseen event in the North?

Marvin froze. He had been unconscious for three days. What could have happened in the North in this amount of time?

He had helped Daniela stabilize Lavis’ situation. On the other hand, the North’s City-States should be in chaos, and would likely need a very long time to stabilize.

But that letter was surprisingly not from Daniela, but from Eve.

It hadn’t even occurred to him that she would send a letter, since after all, there was no real relationship between Marvin and the Valkyrie.

When dealing with Dark Phoenix, a clash had almost broken out. If not for another enemy appearing, Jessica might have started a fight with Eve.

But it was said that after returning to the North, she drove away those five servants.

He didn’t know if that part was true.

Marvin opened the envelope while Anna calmly watched him.

The letter arrived yesterday and had been brought by an albatross. It was clearly written on the envelope that the letter had to be opened by Marvin himself and that it was related to something happening in the North.

She didn’t open the letter when Marvin was unconscious. Although Marvin had a lot of trust in her, she decided to respect the wishes of the sender and wait for him to wake up, despite her curiosity.

Marvin unfolded the letter and saw that it was written in Common.

Eve’s writing was pretty, and like her, had a touch of elegance under the toughness.

Marvin skimmed through it very quickly, his expression becoming heavy.

The matter Eve described in the letter was such a headache!

”What happened?” Anna asked with concern.

To be honest, she had felt more and more powerless as matters reached this stage.

She couldn’t imagine how much pressure Marvin was under.

The only thing she could do to help was to manage the Sanctuary for Marvin, nurturing their territory.

As for the rest, regarding everything related to the Gods, she was truly helpless.

Sometimes, she even thought it would be better to return to how it was in the past.

She would rather have White River Valley become a small territory and follow after Marvin. Suffering some hardship and sadness was acceptable.

At least, the Young Master Marvin of back then didn’t need to do so many dangerous things.

She also clearly knew that in front of the real disaster, no one could be spared.

Only by becoming stronger would they be able to stand on a similar footing with the Gods.

...

Marvin didn’t say anything, instead handing the letter to Anna and letting her read it herself while he sank into contemplation.

The contents of Eve’s letter seemed genuine.

She talked about three things.

The first part was about the current situation in the North.

With the power of the Valkyrie and the draw of the Holy Sword, Eve rallied a formidable force in the North. Although it wasn’t like in the game, where she quickly unified large parts of the North with the help of her servants, she still managed to occupy an important harbor and the surrounding cities through her own efforts.

Deep Water Harbor!

A famous City-State in the North.

When Marvin saw the name, he thought back to the prosperous appearance of the game’s Deep Water Harbor. It was a harbor with a very important geographical location. Most important was the fact that Deep Water Harbor was very close to the High Elven Sanctuary.

Each year, some High Elven masterpieces would occasionally spread from the harbor.

At the same time, Deep Water Harbor was one of the [Three North Towns] and had a very important effect in the North.

Previously, the area encompassing the Three North Towns had been guarded by the Valkyrie. But it was unknown whether she would achieve her past heights in this life. Marvin felt that based on the current situation, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Besides Eve, the rest of the North’s forces gradually began to rise up too. The old forces stabilized their positions, once again re-establishing order, or else they were replaced by newly rising forces.

In short, many regions in the North started shining again. Unlike the two large principalities near Lavis, the eastern City-States of the North greatly lacked Wizards.

This situation actually made it easier for the eastern part of the North to handle the disaster.

Quite a few western territories fell, and only Lavis survived.

It seemed that Lavis to the west and the Three North Towns to the east would be the leaders in the future.

Marvin knew about Eve’s personality and charisma. Besides being slightly inferior to Daniela in terms of governing ability, in other aspects, the Valkyrie’s radiance wouldn’t pale to that of the Ice Empress!

’Valkyrie, Ice Empress, Three Fate Sisters…’

A face flashed in Marvin’s mind. He couldn’t help smiling bitterly as he thought to himself, ’If there really is a Plane Will, then it is definitely favoring women.’

’During the Great Calamity, it was the women who were the most outstanding. It really supports an imperceptible truth: In the face of frightening difficulties, do women really tend to be stronger than men?’

This wasn’t something Marvin made up baselessly. He remembered that on Earth, some studies had shown that women generally handled suffering and disaster better than men.

They were better at adapting.

Perhaps this was the reason that women were in the limelight during Feinan’s disaster.

...

Marvin discarded these thoughts and thought back to Eve’s letter.

The situation in the North wasn’t clear yet. The second thing Eve mentioned was a proposal to form an alliance with Marvin.

She knew that Marvin had established Sword Harbor. Furthermore, the sea was still safe at the moment, so if they could mutually cooperate and help each other, it would be very advantageous to both territories.

After all, building long distance Teleportation Arrays was very expensive.

As for the details of the alliance, Eve invited Marvin to visit Deep Water Harbor for negotiations.

Marvin would definitely take a trip there, but this had to be delayed.

He had promised to go with Jessica to the Underdark to look into the matter of the Eternal Frozen Spring.

Moreover, he had previously buried a chess piece in the Underdark. It should be time to reap what he sowed.

Raven, who was under the control of the Book of Nalu, should have already established her own force in the Underdark. Marvin decided that it was time to take a look.

...

The third thing in the letter was what worried Marvin the most.

Eve vaguely mentioned that traces of some Gods’ followers had appeared in some small forces and small towns in the North!

Although they acted very secretly, there was already some information confirming it.

Her people had already checked. There were people were hiding a church in a certain small town.

That church worshiped the [God of Dawn and Protection]!

Needless to say, Divine Servants had already started descending.

The Dream God wasn’t the only one that was active. The other Gods didn’t stay idle either.

While they were attacking the Universe Magic Pool, they also directed their own able subordinates to enter Feinan.

A war of beliefs would unfold.

Marvin took a deep breath.

Although the Universe Magic Pool hadn’t shattered yet, the threat of the Gods had already descended!

Ambella was only the first, the first of many!

In order to protect himself, in order to protect his territory, he could only become stronger!
