They were sent flying, but they were innumerable.
Soon, he managed to clear out a path.
All the Underdark’s creatures were looking at Marvin, their eyes filled with fear.
The creatures in the Underdark were like this, worshipping the strong. As long as you showed absolute power, they would submit to you.
Of course, they acknowledged the power, not the person.
But regardless of their fear, they couldn’t disobey Lady Tess’ orders.
She was the Apostle of the Black Dragon.
Her will was the Black Dragon’s will!
All the Dark Races summoned their courage to once again surround them.
At that time, Marvin suddenly stopped and took a step back.
He opened his maw and let out an extremely powerful roar!
Intimidating Roar!
The Asuran Bear’s unique ability.
In an instant, all the Dark Races sank into chaos.
They didn’t have strong willpower. After all, they were relying on the Black Dragon’s support.
They were scared by the Intimidating Roar and their formation became chaotic.
They started to trample and attack each other like a bunch of undisciplined soldiers.
Meanwhile, the cavalrymen were escorting the villagers as they quickly approached Hope City’s walls.
They could faintly see the city gates slowly opening.
Hope City didn’t give up on them.
The Three Sisters didn’t give up on them!
They were all moved to tears as they kept rushing forward. Even if they were already wounded, even if the pain in their feet was unbearable, they clenched their teeth and sped up.
Because that shadow was still approaching from behind!
The Underdark Venom Drake!
…
Marvin was at the back of the human group. Seeing that they were about to reach the gates, the Venom Drake went all-out to chase them.
“Mister Robin!” Guy, the future Wind Knight anxiously yelled.
“Follow them!” Marvin bellowed, “Get in quick.”
Guy clenched his teeth and ultimately obeyed Marvin’s order.
In a few moments, a vacant space appeared outside Hope City.
The Asuran Bear was alone, facing the monsters of the entire blockade, as well as one Underdark Venom Drake!
But Marvin wasn’t afraid.
Even if the Venom Drake was powerful and had a bit of an advantage over the Asuran Bear, his other Shapeshift could completely subdue it!
Don’t forget that the Twin-Headed Snake was completely immune to venom!
Marvin calmly waited for the enemy to approach.
The Venom Drake hissed and flapped his wings, apparently wanting to dive at him.
Marvin also did proper battle preparations!
But at that moment, a thick ballista bolt flew under the Venom Drake’s legs!
The frightening ballista bolt flew out and fearsomely pierced into the group of monsters. In an instant, it impaled seven or eight Goblins!
The Venom Drake startledly flapping his wings and rushed to the sky.
He wouldn’t risk his life to chase that kind of prey.
All the Dark Races stopped pursuing and began to pull back.
And with Marvin’s fortuitous support, the blockade seemed to have loosened up. Apparently many people managed to find weak spots, ultimately breaking through the siege and escaping with their lives.
Marvin let out a long breath.
He slowly turned around and noticed that girl on the city wall attentively watching him.
A familiar silhouette was sitting on her shoulder.
Fortune Fairy Ding.
Marvin shifted his gaze to another location, seeing ten ballistas being reloaded on both sides of the city walls.
Each ballista was operated by a powerful sturdy man. Even if the bolts were unable to harm a Dragon, they were a huge threat to a Venom Drake, this kind of sub-Dragon species.
The city gates were wide open, and the human group all poured in as fast as they could.
Marvin’s body shrank and suddenly disappeared from where he was!
Shadow Escape!
With a few quick moves, he caught up to everyone and quietly reapplied his Disguise.
The area below the city wall became empty once more.
…
Inside Hope City.
The group was split up in batches and methodically assigned to different areas.
The wounded were carried off to get treatment, and the ordinary people, especially women and children, were sent to a big refuge.
If the farmers with strength wanted one, they would be granted a weapon. Hope City was at the most critical juncture after all.
They needed everyone to help.
Organizations like the Silver Fox Mercenaries were temporarily incorporated into the city guards, and the reserve militia could be called out any time.
The atmosphere on the city wall was still very nervous.
Facing the Dark Races who hadn’t emerged for many years, people always felt some kind of dread.
But when they raised their heads, they would see that small silhouette still standing on the city wall, silently looking in the distance, and they would feel oddly peaceful.
Because they knew there was always someone guarding this city.
Hope Town was jointly established by the three sisters. The other two Ladies left, but as long as Young Lady Lorie stayed there, everything would be fine.
There would still be hope!
…
In the crowd, Head Knight Terry was anxiously looking for someone.
But every time he asked, he would be answered with “Didn’t see”, “No idea”, or “Thank you”.
There was no helpful answer.
He was trying to look for that “Druid”!
This was Young Lady Lorie’s order.
This order didn’t surprise Terry. At such a critical time, they needed to use every single bit of power they could find.
And that Sir Druid that was able to Shapeshift into a huge Bear was clearly a high level powerhouse.
He was also very smart, knowing the best timing to use his power to avoid an untimely confrontation with the Venom Drake and safely escort everyone to the city.
He must find that powerhouse!
But what depressed him was that those villagers said they didn’t recognize that person!
And after the man entered the town, he quickly disappeared in the crowd.
This made him impossible to find.
Ultimately, he was able to get some information from the leader of the mercenaries.
“You are looking for Mister Robin?”
“He really is someone frightening. We thought he had no fighting strength at the start, so we specially sent him to the flank, to lighten his pressure.”
“But unexpectedly he was very powerful, bursting in at the crucial moment and saving us.”
“We didn’t get to properly thank him for that.”
Terry interrupted the mercenary leader’s flood of words, and firmly said, “Sorry, but I only want to know where Mister Robin is at the moment.”
The leader shrugged. “No one knows.”
Terry sighed and looked at the sea of people before ultimately returning to the city wall.
“You didn’t find him?” Lorie asked quietly.
Terry nodded.
“I understand, go take care of other things.”
“I’ll send others to take care of this,” the young girl calmly said.
Even if the Head Knight was doubtful, he obeyed.
…
Outside the refuge, Marvin and Guy were standing side by side.
“Sir, this is the thing you want.”
Guy handed a scroll and a few books to Marvin.
“This is our family record. It is related to the Source of Fire’s Order. You already brought me here safely, so these are yours.”
But afterwards, the matter had gradually evolved. Marvin no longer helped the mother and child only because of the deal.
He was moved by Hera.
Guy was silent for a moment, but he didn’t move toward the refuge.
“Guy, where will you go?” Marvin couldn’t help but ask.
“Sir Robin, I already grew up. A name like Guy or Lil’ Guy isn’t fitting anymore.”
The youth pointed to something next to the refuge. “I want to go there.”
Marvin followed his finger and saw that he had pointed at the place providing weapons.
“My real name is O’Benson. My family name isn’t important. I might choose Hera as a family name later on.”
The weak youth added in a low voice, “I’m happy to have met you, Sir Robin.”
After saying this, he started to go ask for a weapon.
Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder.
O’Benson turned around, surprised, but what he saw was a youth about his own age.
“I’m also happy to have met you, O’Benson,” said Marvin sincerely.
O’Benson’s eyes were filled with shock!
“You are…”
Marvin signalled him to stay silent and soon changed back to the appearance of the middle-aged Robin.
He smiled at O’Benson and turned to walk into the crowd.
But he didn’t get far before a dissatisfied voice echoed next to his ears:
“Not greeting an acquaintance when you see them.. you are really lacking manners!”

Hearing this voice, Marvin couldn’t help but force a smile.
He turned around.
The Fortune Fairy Ding was looking at him disdainfully. “We thought you died. If not for me noticing the aura of the luck blessing I bestowed you in the past, I wouldn’t have been able to find you. A very terrifying Sorcerer bloodline. You should join Rocky Mountain.”
Marvin looked at the surroundings. “Do you think this place is suitable for a discussion?”
“It’s not.” The Fortune Fairy flapped its wings. “Follow me.”
…
Marvin followed behind Ding and returned once more to the city gates.
They went down a small path to the wall.
The fully armed guards didn’t stop them. Apparently Ding had some reputation here.
A young girl was standing alone on top of the city wall.
Marvin was meeting her for the first time, but he already recognized her.
The youngest of the Fate Sisters, Lorie.
She wasn’t as powerful of a caster as her two sisters, but her wisdom was high enough to cause envy.
She was one of the few people who saw through the gods’ conspiracy before the Calamity.
Fate Sorceresses had different types of abilities.
For example, her sister Jessica’s fate ability was [Power].
After the awakening of her bloodline, her Power kept increasing.
This Power included the strength of her spells and physical abilities.
As for Kate, if Marvin wasn’t mistaken, she had [Protection] as her fate ability. To be able to ignite the Source of Fire’s Order, her Protection ability was most important.
As for Lorie.
Her fate ability was [Wisdom]!
This was a very wise and farsighted girl.
…
She slowly turned around. She was wearing a dress somewhat like her older sister’s. The style was a bit different and it was a bit smaller.
12-13 years old was supposed to be an age where girls could be be carefree and without worries, but Marvin could see countless thoughts in her eyes.
He instinctively felt something wrong.
What about the other two sisters? Why is there only Lorie?
“Hello, Mister Marvin.” Lorie looked at Marvin with a smile. “You really gave me a great surprise.”
“Thank you for rescuing those villagers and also rescuing Uncle Terry.”
Marvin slightly nodded.
Even if this girl looked young, she talked like an adult. It made it somewhat hard for him to get used to.
“Hello, Miss Lorie.”
The two started a discussion unfamiliarly.
Fortunately, the Fortune Fairy Ding butted in from time to time and gradually reduced the awkwardness.
They both actually knew about each other.
Marvin, well, there was no need to say. And Lorie also knew about him because she knew of Marvin’s actions in the Decaying Plateau’s war.
After a few exchanges, Lorie directly expressed her own thoughts.
She wanted Marvin to help her defend Hope City.
Hope City was currently at a critical juncture. Not only was it facing a grave external crisis, but it wasn’t stable inside either.
‘I hadn’t expected that Jessica was actually lured to the edge of the Chaos Ground by Clarke.”
‘The events shown in the trailer weren’t really complete. Kate also left Hope City because of the matter of the meteors. No wonder only the youngest sister was left in Hope City.’
Marvin couldn’t help but bitterly smile and shake his head after hearing this.
How could he not want to help Hope City?
What’s more, that bit of luck Ding gave him saved him at a crucial moment.
If he was able to, he would definitely help.
But the Source of Fire’s Order was also very important.
On top of that, from his memories, he knew that Hope City would hold on even without him.
They ultimately repelled the Dark Races. There was no doubt about it.
Although his appearance had changed a few parts of history, the most important parts shouldn’t change.
If Jessica displayed her extreme power and killed Clarke, even if the Black Dragon God was furious, he wouldn’t be able to do anything!
The current Universe Magic Pool had yet to be broken and the Time Molt was in Inheim’s hands, so no god’s avatar could descend!
And if no god descended, the Legend Fate Sorceress was more or less the strongest expert.
And on a large scale aspect, Jessica was an existence that could face thousands upon thousands by herself.
Black Dragon Clarke was luring Jessica’s attention for now, but the Fate Sorceress wasn’t a fool. She would definitely notice the unusual movements on this side.
She would return sooner or later.
Hope City definitely wouldn’t have any major issues.
This was how Marvin saw it, so he originally planned to bring O’Benson to Hope City and then leave.
He would head west to the place the meteors fell, to look for a Source of Fire’s Order.
But how could he have expected that Ding would recognize him?
Thus, facing Lorie’s request, Marvin felt somewhat trapped in a dilemma.
He thought for a bit and ultimately chose to refuse. “I am very sorry, I really want to help.”
“But I came to Rocky Mountain with a more important goal.”
Lorie’s eyes were very clear, staring at Marvin. “Source of Fire’s Order, right?”
Marvin nodded.
“Sis is already looking for it,” Lorie said seriously. “There is a total of seven of them. If she finds more than one, there is no harm in giving you one.”
Marvin laughed involuntarily. “Miss Lorie, can you make a decision on behalf of your sisters?”
In Marvin’s eyes, Lorie was a bit naive.
Very few people would be willing to move a Source of Fire’s Order, let alone offer one as a gift.
Kate did have some friendship with Marvin, and the Night Monarch’s spirit helped her stabilize her bloodline, which might let her advance to Legend earli
er.
But that friendship couldn’t necessarily be compared to a Source of Fire’s Order.
He knew Kate was very kindhearted, but Rocky Mountain was her home.
This was the place she wanted to protect. Marvin was only a friend at most.
Even if the sisters previously held four of them, who knew what could happen this time.
Marvin didn’t want to entrust his hopes onto others…
…
But, at that time, Ding suddenly interrupted, “She obviously can.”
“Even though Lorie is young, her words can definitely represent the three sisters.”
“Otherwise, why would the entire Hope City listen to her?”
Lorie also looked at Marvin with a hopeful expression. “I promise.”
“I only hope for you to do us a favor.”
Marvin paused for a bit, before hesitantly asking, “What favor?”
“Assassination.” Lorie cut straight to the point. “An assassination mission. I already have two experts ready. With you joining, it would make a perfect team and raise the success rate of the assassination.”
“Target?” Marvin asked.
“Tess.” Lorie told him with a calm expression, “She is the Black Dragon God’s Apostle, thus this is a bit difficult.”
Marvin firmly shook his head!
What a joke, assassinating Tess?
That’s a powerhouse on the same level as Bamboo!
Even if the Black Dragon God didn’t pour a great amount of Divine Power into her like the World Ending Twin Snakes did for Bamboo, she also wasn’t a target that a 4th rank could assassinate.
“Don’t hastily refuse.”
“I have yet to tell you the reward.”
Lorie smillingly said, “If Sir Marvin helps us with this task.”
“You’ll receive [Golden Blood].”
Golden Blood!?
Marvin opened his eyes wide.
He then instantly answered, “Deal!”

Golden Blood was a treasure that could be used to increase the purity of one’s bloodline!
Among the treasures Marvin knew about, Golden Blood was the safest one for breaking through bloodline limitations.
It was the most precious secret of Rocky Mountain’s Sorcerers.
