(There was something wrong with the Internet... I worked it for a long time... I finally uploaded it)

In this era when wizards rule the world, only the descendants of wizards and wizards can usually become nobles.

Marvin's father was not a wizard, his grandfather was. Marvin's grandfather was a high-level wizard in the Southern Wizards Alliance. At that time, the River Beach City had not been established. He led his followers to expand the territory and opened up many new lands for the Wizards Alliance in the wilderness. According to the agreement between the Wizards Alliance and the pioneering wizards, part of the land - now the White River Valley, became the territory of Marvin's Grandfather.

Because the new territory was opened up and approached the wild land, these new territory were more free than the major city-states in the south. In addition to paying taxes to the Wizards Alliance regularly, they did not need to be under too much command from the Wizards Alliance. Only in urgent mobilization can they respond to the call of the Wizards Alliance.

Marvin's grandfather had two children, the eldest son was Marvin's father, Gene, and the second son was Miller. After Marvin's grandfather passed away, Gene inherited the White River Valley and governed the territory in an orderly manner. Miller had no inheritance and obtained a considerable inheritance, and left the White River Valley with the extra wealth that Gene gave privately.

This Uncle Miller, whom Marvin remembers, has been away for many years. It was not until last year that he suddenly returned to the south. It is said that he is doing a very successful business now and is a rich businessman. Miller purchased real estate in the riverbank city. The two brothers have met many times, and Gene was very happy about his brother's return and treated him with great care.

In the memory of a simple boy, although Uncle Miller was a little stingy, he was still very good to his brothers.

But in Marvin's view, the various things in his memory reveal many clues:

In the six months after Miller returned to River Beach City, his father Jean's body suddenly began to deteriorate - you know, forty-year-old Jean was in his prime, strong as a cow. Although he could not do witchcraft, he was a real second-level warrior. He once destroyed a mutant stone-toothed wild boar that broke into the territory alone. Logically speaking, his physical functions could not have been too much regressed at this time.

Even if it is a disease, it is difficult to cause any trouble to such a strong warrior.

But it was because of an inexplicable serious illness that his father Gene passed away half a year ago. Marvin, who was only 14 years old, inherited the territory and title and began to manage the territory conscientiously.

This is very difficult for a 14-year-old boy, but judging from the results, he did not do well.

"Although this young man is kind and cowardly, he is still very talented in internal affairs."

"Miller had been here at his father Gene's funeral and cried hypocritically. He also said some very strange things."

"It is indeed possible that his return was his move so consistent with his father's death. I heard that in the early years, Uncle Miller had always hated his father because he could not inherit his territory. Perhaps this was the fuse of the incident. He now has money, so he came back to take revenge on us."

"Maybe, he wants to take away the inheritance rights of the White River Valley. As long as I die, the younger Winnie will definitely not be his opponent. He bribed the Akron gang and the town hall of the River Beach City, and the White River Valley is his!"

...

In just a few minutes, Marvin thought of a lot of things.

Uncle Miller is indeed very suspicious. However, the matter cannot be concluded so quickly, and they have no evidence.

"Is Uncle Miller attacking us? We need further investigation."

Marvin said quickly: "Maybe the two members of the Akron gang can help us."

"you mean?"

"Follow me and let your pace lightly." Ma Wen said softly: "Two people, leave a living mouth."

...

At the front door of the Liema Hotel, in the dark alley, the thieves were bored and swept the unchanging scenery ahead.

There was an exquisite hourglass under his feet, and the sand on the upper layer was about to be exposed, which meant that it was time to check the code.

"That woman probably slept like a dead pig, so what else can I monitor? I heard that the employer likes this half-elf very much and asked to capture it alive. It seems that the boss will take action in person tomorrow."

The thief was playing with the dagger in his hand and thought so.

He looked at the roof not far away, and another secret whistle was observing diligently.

However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly shrank!

A sneaky shadow was approaching the companion on the roof!

"Who!"

The thief narrowed his eyes, his perception was extremely high, and it could be seen that he was a sneaking person.

Thieves from other gangs?

Before he could remind him, a slight chill behind him suddenly became cold!

"Oh no! Someone has seen through my stealth!?"

He suddenly turned around and saw the half-elf-like female swordsman rushing over without any concealment.

Her eyes locked him tightly, obviously knowing where he was hiding!

The thief reacted quickly, and turned around skillfully, ready to go around the alley and not face the swordsman head-on.

However, at this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed in his aftermath!

A dexterous shadow took two steps at a time, falling from the roof, blocking his way.

The thief looked at the corpse of his companion on the roof with a bitter look, his mouth dry.

Such a decisive and neat way of killing...

This guy isn't a real assassin, right?

From the moment he discovered that the other party was sneaking and preparing to kill his companion, to the appearance of the elf female swordsman, he had completed the assassination in just two or three seconds?

This is simply a fantasy!

Have the gangsters in the city seen such a killing method! This is purely a quality that can only be shown by assassinating many super assassins in the dark.

But when he saw the assassin's face, he was surprised that his chin was about to fall off:

"It's you! Why are you not dead? You..."

The thief was already in shock and could not speak.

Anna's sword held back his back and said coldly: "You have two ways. Work with us, or die."

The thief obediently dropped the dagger and spread his hands. He had given up resisting. Not to mention that seemingly weak young nobleman has such terrifying assassination ability, the half-elf in front of him is also a warrior with at least four professional levels. He had no chance at all when he was confronted head-on.

"Tie him up, I know there is an abandoned warehouse nearby." Ma Wen said softly.

...

In an abandoned warehouse in the north of the city.

"I swear, I've told you all I know."

The thief named Dink was tied to a chair with a hemp rope and said with a bitter face: "I am just responsible for stalking, not for taking action."

"You haven't told me yet why you Akron gangsters killed me?"

Marvin said coldly.

Dink pretended to be pitiful and said, "I really don't know..."

"Ah! What are you doing?!" The thief was full of horror.

Marvin sneered, grabbed Dink's right hand, and gently slashed his wrist with a knife. Blood immediately flowed out.

"This doesn't hurt at all, right?" Marvin sneered: "But what I cut is your vein, and your blood will slowly dry out."

After saying that, he gently slashed Dink's wrist.

"You are a demon!" Dink was frightened: "Stop."

"Tell me what I want to know. I will release you from freedom." Marvin said lightly: "Otherwise we will leave here and let you shed blood and die."

Anna looked at Marvin with some concern. Of course, she knew that some means must be used for interrogation, but she was very worried about Marvin's condition.

He looked a little too cruel and ruthless. He seemed to have gone from his previous kindness to another extreme.

"It's all my useless. I was unable to protect the young master, so I was so excited that I became like this." The half-elf bit her lips, and her hand holding the sword showed clean blue veins because it was too white.

Under Marvin's simple questioning, Dink quickly collapsed. These gang members were not tough characters who had received some training in confrontation and interrogation. They joined the gang just to support their families and had weak willpower.

In his previous life, Marvin once met some fanatical religious elements, and asked about information from them, which was the most troublesome thing.

...

"I really don't know who wants to kill me, but I just said that it was a wealthy businessman in the city and paid a lot of money."

"The Akron gang is just a second-rate force in River Beach City. It takes a lot of money to rise to the boss. The rich businessman is said to have promised to invest and invest when the matter is done."

"Only their boss has met the employer, and the rest of his men are ordered to do things. If you want to know who is behind the scenes, you have to find the guy named [Diaphis]."

Ma Wen thought silently.

Dink said everything to save his life.

The Akron gang is not very powerful. Except for Diaphis himself a second-level warrior, the other most powerful one is a level 4 thief. Their stronghold is [Phocson Bar], which is a famous underground casino in the slums and also does flesh-and-skinned business, with many people and eyes.

Diaphis is a very careful person, and the Pyroxene bar is almost arranged as a small fortress, especially the backyard and basement. It is not that easy to sneak in.

After all, Marvin is a ranger, not a thief who is good at eliminating traps and stealth. He cannot approach Difias quietly.

"Master, what should we do now?" Anna asked.

For some reason, Ma Wen, who woke up from a serious illness, actually made her feel a little dependent.

"You said you want to let me go!" Dink said loudly.

Marvin walked over, slap a few times, and cut off the hemp rope with the scimitar in his hand.

Dink was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Marvin really released him so readily.

Anna frowned, and was about to say something, but who knew that at this moment, Ma Wen took action like lightning and a cold light flashed by.

Cover your mouth! Cut your throat! Blood rushes!

Dink stared at his eyes and struggled for a while to die.

"I will give you freedom, but I never said I won't kill you." Ma Wen lightly pushed away the thief's body and wiped the scimitar clean.

Anna shuddered: "Master Ma Wen, what's wrong with you? This is not like you at all."

Marvin looked at Anna and said sincerely: "Everyone has many sides. In this situation, I have to be another self."

"I don't allow anyone to take my territory, nor do I allow anyone to try to hurt you."

"I will never allow it."

He held Anna's cold hand and whispered: "You are one of the most important people in my life. If someone wants to plot against you, I will make him pay the price."

Anna's little face turned slightly red. Looking at Ma Wen, she felt a sense of security in her heart.

She shyly shyly and whispered: "Young Master, what should we do next?"

“Go to the cemetery.”
