In fact, Marvin also had that strange feeling as they were moving through the town!
Devil Town was filled with strange buildings and Watchers, but there were no traces of anyone else, no constructs or guardians.
But Marvin's Perception somehow led him to think that this place was like a bustling market!
His ears were picking up something that gave him an indistinct feeling.
He didn't know enough about Devil Town.
"Let's hurry…"
He instinctively had a bad feeling.
The Black Knight wouldn't give up so easily. He might know about Devil Town's districts, and that the main gate wasn't the only way to enter Devil Town.
After all, this was a real world, not a game.
There was only one confirmed way of entering in the game, but in reality, there were always multiple paths.
At Marvin's insistence, the Tomb Raider had no choice but to clench his teeth and force himself to keep walking.
But the advantage of reaching the center of the town was that he didn't need to cover his eyes and follow Marvin anymore.
Even if this was the case, he still didn't think about fleeing.
As he walked forward, he could clearly feel a burning gaze on his back.
The youth's eyes were very calm, sometimes even gentle, but when he leaked a bit of emotion, that hidden suffocating aura of slaughter would show up.
The Tomb Raider had already experienced it first hand.
He absolutely couldn't provoke this kind of person.
This youth might have killed even more people than the Black Knight had.
He also didn't doubt Marvin's words. If he dared to try to escape, his head would fall!
He had always been a very cowardly person. Despite his impressive talent, as he approached the Legend Realm as a nameless Thief, he had chosen a class he was interested in, Tomb Raider, rather than a fierce combat-focused class.
He stubbornly considered himself a Thief, a Tomb Raider, and not a Legend powerhouse.
He had no intention of fighting other Legends.
Throughout the years, he met several Legends on the same level as him, and all of these encounters ended up with him escaping stealthily.
Fortunately, Legend powerhouses were pretty rare on Feinan before the disaster.
His life was quite comfortable.
When facing people who had yet to become Legends, he would have an overwhelming advantage despite his killing techniques being pitifully clumsy.
He was very satisfied with that.
But good things don't last forever.
He wasn't able to hide this time.
He had gained some fame. The Black Knight came prepared and caught him easily.
In fact, he was now wearing two bracelets on his wrists that suppressed his escape skills.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to keep his cooperation after catching him.
The only thing he wanted to do now was to quickly satisfy these powerhouses and hope that they would mercifully let him go. At least the youth seemed less unreasonable than Sangore.
Run away?
He could run fast, but, running out of Devil Town? Outrunning a Royal Griffin?
Thus, despite not being in the best condition and feeling quite scared, he still firmly carried out Marvin's requests.
Step by step, he slowly proceeded with his duty as a Tomb Raider.
As Marvin watched all of this, he felt that it was a bit unusual.
At the beginning, he had focused most of his attention on that guy, thinking that it would be unlikely for the Thief to be cooperative.
Who could have thought that this guy would actually be very obliging?!
The way he was trying so hard to find a good path made it seem as if he was a loyal subordinate.
Marvin had an odd expression when seeing his efforts.
Originally, he had assumed that the Tomb Raider would act as if he was working, while trying to find a way to flee.
But as time passed, it became more and more apparent...
That guy was very conscientious.
Marvin felt somewhat speechless.
'I suppose he is aware of his position as a captive…'
Marvin was very satisfied with the Tomb Raider's work.
Although they were both rogues, the Tomb Raider was highly specialized for this work. Since Devil Town was built by the Bloody Emperor, he must have gone to great lengths to protect his tomb.
It would be much easier to find the entrance of the tomb with such a person's help.
As the Tomb Raider was cautiously observing the terrain, Marvin couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"
"Me? In my childhood, my friends called me [Speedy]. They gave me that nickname because I was pretty fast at the time."
"Afterwards, they called me [Flying Thief]. When you think about it, it's a very strange thing for a nameless orphan to become a Legend," the Tomb Raider answered calmly as he continued his work.
'Speedy…' The corner of Marvin's mouth twitched faintly.
The guy before him was small, looked dull, and seemed very honest.
But that was just his outer appearance.
When he moved, it was possible to notice his shrewd eyes and dexterous hands.
That guy was definitely a very talented Thief.
'He is actually an orphan who fumbled his way into the Legend Realm.' Marvin was speechless.
At the same time, he also couldn't help becoming a bit interested in that Tomb Raider's story.
As they progressed, the two started chatting, disregarding the strangeness of doing so in such a location. The one being coerced and the one in charge looked like two friends having a normal discussion.
This feeling also helped gradually dispel the uneasiness caused by the strangeness of Devil Town.
After hearing all of Speedy's sincere and simple story, Marvin fell completely silent.
A fatherless and motherless good-for-nothing went through constant challenges on the streets, working as a small-time Thief, recklessly entering a famous tomb, and advancing to the Legend Realm as a Tomb Raider. Such an experience truly would leave others speechless.
How gifted was he?
Although most Legends had to make their major breakthroughs on their own, most had some instruction from others at some point. However, this guy before his eyes had never been taught by anyone.
He had been a Legend for fifty years, and besides occasionally plundering a tomb, he mostly hid beside wine cellars and fireplaces, enjoying the life given by his status and abilities as a Legend.
He didn't seem to want much.
But when the Great Calamity fell upon Feinan, everything he was familiar with was destroyed, and he hid himself away.
Unfortunately, Black Knight Sangore caught him.
He had been resigned to his fate to follow the orders of the Black Knight.
Now, Marvin had caught him. He didn't want to arouse any suspicions and answered Marvin's questions as completely as he could.
Marvin suddenly felt a bit ashamed.
The way he forced Speedy to help him find the entrance, what was the difference between him and Sangore?
But he kept his expression the same, and the busy Thief didn't notice anything.
The latter finished checking a path, and quickly rushed over to dutifully report:
"Same as before, these roads are also safe."
"However, I am very surprised. Why do you and Sangore think I need to check these roads?"
"In my opinion, there isn't a tomb at all."
"This is a city!"
