Chapter 147 Birthday(1/2)
In the dark night, the big devil's head with three eyes was smiling so strangely.
Ma Wen gritted his teeth and closed his eyes suddenly. The next second, he opened his eyes and found that the other party had disappeared!
"Are you let him escape?"
Ma Wen silently checked the data record.
Sure enough, he had an instinctive reaction as soon as the head of the Great Devil appeared - this was very likely an illusion!
This is indicated by a Will check on the data record.
This illusion is similar to the one set up by his grandfather in the study room. However, in terms of strength, the illusion that the enemy hastily used is not as powerful as the one solidified in the secret room. Therefore, Marvin can easily save it.
However, this spell finally bought time for the other party's escape.
Although he couldn't see through the opponent's strength, Marvin could feel that the opponent was not his opponent.
This may be related to the form of his existence.
Ma Wen had a feeling in his heart that the other party was not actually an entity.
It may be just a kind of existence similar to a vengeful spirit.
He exuded a powerful force, but it seemed to be suppressed by a stronger force.
This made Marvin very puzzled.
However, no matter what, he started the night tracking again and couldn't find the figure of the old man in black.
He searched in the same place for a while, and could only choose to return the same way.
Passing by the Gnoll Valley, Ma Wen did not hesitate and spent half an hour to wash away the remaining Gnoll.
His methods are very ruthless. He can be said to have eliminated the roots, and he has not even let go of the youngest werewolf cub.
The wereggars are cruel by nature. Since the two sides have formed such hatred, even if they cannot pose too many threats to the White Valley now, they may also harm the people of the territory.
Marvin's kindness is limited. He is not that kind of saint after all.
In a sense, the werewolf is also a kind of intelligent life in the Fernan continent. They only survive and fight for the reproduction of races.
But this world is so cruel.
If Marvin wants to explore the wilderness, sooner or later, all these monsters will be killed.
He will not leave any hidden dangers to himself, because he wants to ensure that the place he guards is the people he needs to protect and will not be harmed.
For this, even in the end, blood was pouring into his hands, he didn't care.
...
After breaking through the small valley, it was a undulating hilly area and then passing through a sparse forest. A large area of open space appeared in front of Ma Wen.
In the distance, the familiar white river flowed slowly over, and the castle was vaguely visible on a high mountain.
The White River Valley has finally arrived.
Marvin speeded up and returned to the territory soon.
However, what surprised him was that the territory at this time was much more lively than he thought!
More than three hundred low-level adventurers gathered here in a scattered manner. They all came from Gem Bay.
About less than one-tenth of them are those on Marvin's recruitment list.
The rest of the people came to join in the fun themselves to see if they could get some money.
There are so many adventurers. Small places like the White River Valley cannot accommodate them.
Fortunately, there was enough food in the territory, and the chefs worked overtime overnight, and a freshly baked bread was sold out quickly.
Except for the adventurers on the Marvin recruitment list who are qualified to live in a special place outside the castle, the rest of the people have set up a tent next to the White River at the foot of the mountain.
Ma Wenmingwen stipulates that these adventurers are not allowed to disturb the lives of ordinary residents. Otherwise, they will be severely punished.
Now it seems that these people are pretty peaceful.
But seeing them making noise unscrupulously beside the Baihe River, Ma Wen couldn't help but frown.
If these people don’t find anything for them to do, they will sooner or later get something happens with a lot of energy.
The people of Baihe have never seen so many powerful adventurers. Fortunately, the guards often patrol, which makes them feel at ease.
...
When Marvin returned to the castle, it was already noon. Anna and Winnie were all extremely surprised when they saw Marvin return.
The two began to complain to Ma Wen at the same time.
The only thing that complained was the same, that is, these adventurers were too difficult to manage!
"Because the adventurers who came to enlist only obeyed the orders of the initiators of the wild pioneers, we can't control them." Anna spread her hands helplessly.
"There were several irritable adventurers who had been fighting and causing trouble. Although they were stopped by Andre and others, several innocent farmers were still affected. For this reason, I drove them all to the edge of the White River."
"But they are still lawless."
"A big thing happened yesterday. A drunk adventurer tried to force a girl in the territory. Fortunately, Lord Constantine took action and killed him directly."
"When those people learned that there were legends in our territory, they were a little restrained."
"But they are still very troublesome, they urinate and defecate anywhere, which is very uncivilized," Vini added.
After hearing this, Ma Wen rubbed his temples.
These things were long as he expected.
Anna and Winnie said one left and one right, and he almost figured out the recent situation of the White River Valley.
...
War is indeed a money-burning job.
In order to recruit the second-level adventurers on the list, Marvin almost exhausted the 200 wizard coins he got from Black Jack.
Not to mention that so many adventurers gather in the White River Valley. Once their food, drink, defecation and sensation are not available, problems will arise.
Marvin, the adventurer on the list, promised to supply food. However, even if they want to buy outside the list, they need the White River Valley to have this production capacity.
Fortunately, at this time, the batch of supplies in Hetan City finally arrived.
With Anna's proper arrangement, the basic living needs of the hundreds of people were finally barely available.
Under the witness of Hathaway, the deal between Marvin and Medilly was completed. River Beach City was originally part of Marvin's power in the future, and now he sends some supplies to him, Marvin has no psychological burden at all.
"Medilly is also cruel enough. He gave up everything for the sake of legend."
"But after she is promoted to Legend, everything will be hard to say."
Marvin knew the temperament of that woman.
After Medielli was promoted to the legend, her legal contract would be invalid. Then God knows whether she would hand over River Beach City to Ma Wen as promised.
However, the supplies she sent this time made Ma Wen very satisfied.
This batch of supplies not only included food and the most short-sized wine in the White River Valley, but also some simple clothes and weapons eliminated by the River Beach City Patrol.
Don't underestimate these weapons, these are military weapons.
With a little care, the sharpness is much better than that used by ordinary adventurers.
In addition, she also sent a batch of fresh fruits and vegetables, which were given to Ma Wen for free.
And this is just the first batch of supplies. The second batch of supplies is still on the way.
Medilly promised that during the pioneering wilderness, River Beach City will become the strongest backing of the White River Valley.
This also made Ma Wen much more satisfied.
At least that page of Naru's book was not for nothing.
On the third page of Naru's Book, Marvin himself dared not take the risk of reading it. He would not touch it until he was promoted to the legend.
This chapter [Destruction] can completely distort people's personality, or it can completely go crazy.
The sleeping lich in the Scarlet Monastery is an example.
So he is not worried about Medielli now, he is worried about Hathaway.
Although the awakened people are wise, many people have been tricked by Naru's Book of Death, and even a god has been cheated to death.
This shows how terrifying this book is.
Hathaway was promoted to the legend with the sixth page of the Book of Naru, "Freshman" that Marvin was afraid that she would become dependent on the Book of Naru.
However, the news from the second-level wizard group was that Lord Hathaway seemed to be busy with the development of a new spell recently and had no time to take care of other things.
This made Ma Wen feel a little calmer.
Marvin couldn't figure out this woman with a strong personality. At this time, he could only pray that she had enough wisdom to read the Book of Naru.
...
"By the way, these days, the adventurers have been a little lost. They have been asking when they will start to explore the wilderness."
