Chapter 42 Soul Cutting
Marvin and Ned had just walked back to the main road when they ran into Vernon Roche.
He was riding his horse with four blue iron guards, and pedestrians on the road hurriedly avoided him.
Seeing Marvin, Vernon Roche pulled the reins, jumped off the warhorse and strode towards him.
This righteous man looked a little aggrieved at the moment. He approached and roared in a low voice: "When will you leave Vizima?"
Marvin raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Foltest's requirements were so low.
He said calmly, "Yesterday a petty thief tried to steal my horse, and there was a city guard to cover him."
Huahuahua...
Twenty blue-clad iron guards followed Roche, panting...
Marvin retracted his gaze and continued, "I was going to settle accounts with them, if..."
"No problem! I'll take care of it." Roche answered quite happily, "How do you want to deal with those two people?"
Marvin frowned and asked, "Why? Is there no law in Temeria now?"
Someone took over the last mess, and Marvin opened a portal on the street.
Puff...Ravens flew over and landed on Ned's head.
Marvin turned his head and said, "If your sorceress tracks me again, I don't mind going to the palace again."
After saying this, Marvin took Modus and Ned into the portal.
...
There was still some time before Vigfortz's inquiry meeting, so Marvin stayed in Maribo to read and study.
Ned didn't like the dark environment of the underground chamber, so Marvin let him and Modus run wild in the suburbs.
That evening, the pendant was upgraded.
[Soul Enlightenment]
Category: Ornaments, pendants
Quality: Special, growth equipment, current quality is excellent (blue)
Growth: 0%
Durability: 48/48
Equipment requirements: Soul Binding (Marvin Goydema)
Equipment effect 1: Soul Solidification. Soul strength grows at a slow rate.
Equipment effect 2: Soul Slashing. Melee attacks add 8% soul damage. If the enemy is a soul type (incorporeal), add 32% soul damage.

Description: The Void Tree is a pendant customized by Marvin Goydema, with the Soul Wood as the main material. The Soul Wood is almost extinct in the void and is extremely precious. (This equipment description is only visible to the owner.)
Price: Unsaleable
Soul Enlightenment has changed a lot.
Not only has the quality been improved, the equipment effect 1 has been improved, and there is also an additional equipment effect 2.
What is the use of soul strength, and how much can it increase every day? Marvin still has no idea.
But the effect of "Soul Severing" is too practical.
It is worthy of being tailor-made equipment for him.
Moreover, the durability of Soul Enlightenment has been greatly improved.
Marvin's current leather jacket, the upper limit of the durability of blue-quality armor is only 45, while the upper limit of the durability of a small pendant has reached 48.
At the same time, Soul Enlightenment is only blue quality, but it has 2 equipment attributes, which also shows that its material is extraordinary, so it can accommodate 2 attributes at low quality.
Marvin's learning content is the alchemy notes obtained from Kalkstein.
With the foundation of the alchemy-potion branch, the progress of learning alchemical explosives is very fast.
On the night before going to Aretuza, there was one more item in the [Skill] panel.
[Primary Alchemy - Explosives Branch, lv.12]
Proficiency: 0%
Description: Primary Demolitionist, can independently make 1st-level alchemical potions, and needs to obtain explosives formula to make explosives.
Upgrade cost: 100 Paradise Coins
Regarding the explosives formula, Marvin is a little bit disappointed with the alchemical bombs in the Demon Hunter world, because they are too weak.
But there are still a few special alchemical bombs that need to be learned.
The first is the Anti-Magic Gold Bomb. If you encounter multiple enemies of the Mage profession, it will be very cool to explode them. If it is a 1V1 battle against a mage, the Anti-Magic Gold Bomb is actually not very necessary.
The principle of the Anti-Magic Gold Bomb is very simple, just use the explosion to explode the Anti-Magic Gold dust.
Anti-Magic Gold is a specialty of the Demon Hunter world. It is best to find a way to get more before leaving.
The second is the Advanced North Wind.
After the North Wind Bomb explodes, it can cause a short but strong freezing effect in a small range, which is a group control weapon.
This freezing bomb is very compatible with Marvin's compatibility, and it can be studied in depth.
Furthermore, the alchemical bombs in the Demon Hunter world still have ignition fuses, and it is difficult to accurately determine the time of explosion. This is too backward, and we need to find ways to improve it.
After returning to the Order Paradise, he will have the confidence to make liquid silver bombs and the capital to continue studying the book "Research on Explosive Weapons of the Northveran Empire 65th Edition (Volume 1)".
...
In the dean's office not far below the Gastang Palace, Aretusa College, on the western coast of Temeria, on the island of Thanid.
Three people are sitting in the reception area, the dean, Tishaya de Vries, Marvin, and a female sorceress in a brown, red, and white long skirt.
This female sorceress is Sabina Grievishig, from Kaedwen, with the title of the Daughter of the Kaedwen Wasteland, and is one of the most influential female sorceresses in the north today.
Taking advantage of this questioning meeting, Tishaya also called her in advance in order to solve the mystery of the death of Marvin's sister Adela nearly a hundred years ago.
Of course, Sabina also knew Marvin's true identity at this time.
For the generally long-lived sorcerers, it is still rare for His Royal Highness to be so young after 90 years, but it is not too difficult to understand...
"Tishaya, you didn't say you still have such a handsome male student..." Sabina lifted her chest wantonly, making the cleavage deeper and narrower.
At the same time, she licked her slightly thick red lips and stared at Marvin with her big eyes. This made her beauty more aggressive.
Snap, the dean covered his eyes with one hand and sighed: "Magic is above, Sabina, this is in the academy! My office!"
"Isn't that just right?" The light brown-skinned female sorcerer blinked at the dean, "Do you want to go together?"
"Okay!" Marvin interrupted her provocation and said calmly, "Always dragging with a steel ring underneath will cause deformation, and even cause the two sides to be different."
Sabina exclaimed: "Really?"
"Believe it or not." Marvin skipped the topic directly and asked: "Let's talk about business."
Of course he was talking nonsense, how could he, a straight man, know such a thing.
If the teacher hadn't warned him in advance, he might have been frightened by the sudden flirtation of the sorceress. But he would more likely find her annoying and use physical therapy.
But he is not really a virgin. He has lived for more than 40 years in his previous life and has experienced a lot.
Finding that the man in front of her was indeed very calm, Sabina lost the fun of teasing and sat up straight and asked: "If that incident was really related to Kaedwen, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing..." Marvin said with his hands spread out, "But I always want to know the truth."
He didn't tell the truth.
The other party is a Kaedwen, and has served as the royal magic advisor of Kaedwen for many years. He won't be stupid enough to say that he wants to...
"Really?" Sabina stared at Marvin, trying to find even a trace of lying, but there was none.
She looked at the dean again, and Tishaya shrugged and simply stood up to make tea.
The meaning was clear: Don't look at me, talk to yourselves.
Although the incident has been so many years, it is related to the royal families of the two countries after all, and a princess died.
Sabina still felt that it was inappropriate to be so credulous, but the situation was already like this, and she couldn't make peace without saying something. Dean Veris had to give face.
She decided to say it, but she needed a guarantee, at least a guarantee for Kaedwen.
Sabina said: "I don't believe it, you swear an oath that you will not harm Kaedwen in the future. Otherwise, I won't say anything."
In this magical world, oaths are effective, especially for spellcasters.
Marvin raised his right hand without hesitation and raised three fingers, "I swear to fate that I will never harm Kaedwen because of this."
However, the goddess of fate did not hear it because she was not there.
