Madeline was indeed a source of calamity!
Ma Wen could feel that among the forces she gathered outside River Beach City, there were many men who admired her.
Some nobles even specially rushed over from their fiefs to help, and they even brought many of their own knights.
However, these people did not receive Madeline's excessive favor.
Instead, it was Ma Wen, who did not seem to have any background, who received a personal invitation from the city lord to ride in the same carriage as her!
This was, of course, something that made people jealous.
Logically speaking, Ma Wen should choose to avoid arousing suspicion. However, he looked at those people. Those who cared about these things were mostly useless fellows.
These people were not worth worrying about at all.
He wanted to know Madeline's plans, so he nodded and directly entered the carriage.
Madeline snapped her fingers with a smile.
The half-open carriage automatically closed, and no one knew what was happening inside.
"Depart!"
Under the city lord's order, the entire army slowly advanced northwest.
The remnants of the Hall Mountain Range, that nameless hill, was destined to receive a group of ill-intentioned visitors today.
…
The interior of the carriage was very spacious.
It was obvious that this place had been modified by Madeline. The space had expanded by at least five times.
She divided the interior of the carriage into several rooms, and Ma Wen could vaguely see signs of alchemy.
This was simply a moving laboratory!
Ma Wen sat on the velvet sofa, but did not feel hot at all.
The entire interior of the carriage must have been enchanted with the [Cooling Spell]. Ma Wen roughly sized it up and had a certain idea of this luxurious carriage.
"It's not cheap to build …"
Ma Wen was envious.
In this world ruled by Magi, these powerful Magi indeed had extraordinary resources in their hands.
Even if he sold the entire White River Valley, he still wouldn't be able to gather so much money for this single carriage.
"Do you want to drink?" Madeline's voice came from the compartment.
Before Ma Wen could reply, Madeline walked over from the compartment.
She held a bottle of red wine in her left hand, an empty goblet in her right, and a glass that was one-third full in her mouth!
The scarlet wine seeped into her lips. Her entire body was like a raging flame, surging forward violently.
The flames seemed to want to devour Ma Wen.
Ma Wen shuddered and suddenly turned his head to the side!
Purple hair … fiery feeling … Abyssal bloodline …
Everything was connected.
Vigny's dream!
Ma Wen suddenly felt that his decision to board the carriage was a little rash.
"Are you afraid?"
Madeline walked over in a magnanimous manner. She lowered the wine and cup, and then sat down with her legs crossed, looking at Ma Wen just like that.
"There's still a long way to go. Don't you feel bored?"
"Or … are you not a man at all? Let me see your reaction … "
Madeline giggled.
Suddenly, she threw herself at Ma Wen.
…
However, at this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed through Ma Wen's mind.
He suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest.
It was that ornament — Valisa's gift!
"Motherf * cker, an illusion!"
Marvin cursed angrily in his heart. He instantly understood!
He hurriedly took out the Magic Holy Grail!
As soon as the Holy Grail entered his hand, an incomparably cool feeling spread through his entire body. He instantly broke free from Madeline's illusion.
This was one of the powerful properties of the Holy Grail.
It was immune to illusions below legendary level!
Ma Wen opened his eyes and saw Madeline in pink pajamas staring at him coldly.
Seeing the Holy Grail appear, she revealed a smile. "You're finally willing to take it out."
In the next second, Ma Wen felt his hand slip, and the Holy Grail actually fell off on its own.
Entanglement!
An invisible force wrapped around the Magic Holy Grail, and it was about to fall into Madeline's hands.
Her goal was actually this!
She used an illusion to make Ma Wen vigilant, forcing him to subconsciously take out the Magic Holy Grail to get out of this predicament.
Ma Wen's heart trembled. Perhaps she did not want to keep the Magic Holy Grail for herself forever, but at least in this battle, she would not return it to Ma Wen!
"I can't let her take the Holy Grail."
Ma Wen's reaction was also very fast.
He fiercely threw himself at Madeline -- Erupt!
Pu!
A powerful force field directly sent Ma Wen flying!
His entire body was pushed against the carriage wall, and his body was extremely distorted!
Madeline smiled as she hugged the Holy Grail. Looking at Ma Wen's pained expression, she licked her lips. "I admit that I really want to eat you right now.
"However, before we get rid of the Scarlet Monastery, we should endure it for now.
"Don't worry, I'm only borrowing your Holy Grail temporarily. You don't have to participate in this battle. You can do whatever you want in this carriage, or you can just sleep.
"Wait for my victorious return …"
Madeline smiled very proudly.
A trace of anger flashed in Ma Wen's eyes.
This woman had no spirit of contract at all. They had clearly agreed to cooperate, but who knew that she would change her mind at the last minute!
As expected, she had the bloodline of the Abyss … No wonder Hathaway told him to be careful.
Fortunately, he still had a backup plan!
Ma Wen's expression became calm.
After obtaining the Magic Holy Grail, before leaving the Three-Ring Tower, he asked Hathaway to ask the Tower of Craftsmen's Wizards to enchant the Holy Grail.
This temporary enchantment did not last long, and could only last for three months. However, it would continue to be effective for three months.
This spell was called [Return to Original Owner]!
Within these three months, even if someone stole Ma Wen's Holy Grail, he only needed to chant the incantation, and the Holy Grail would automatically return to Ma Wen's hands!
Unless the other party was a Legend.
But Madeline was not. She was a quasi-Legend, a solid Level-20 Wizard.
She had no way of restricting this spell.
…
Ma Wen said in a low voice, "If that's the case, then can you let me go?"
Madeline looked at Ma Wen with some surprise.
She thought that Ma Wen would at least go crazy for a while. She had even prepared Tranquilizer and Hibernation spells, but Ma Wen's reaction was surprisingly calm.
"Didn't you trick me into the carriage for the Holy Grail?"
Ma Wen looked into her eyes. "Now the Holy Grail is in your hands. There's no point in me staying in the carriage, right? "
Madeline rolled her eyes. "No, for your safety, I think it's better for you to stay in the carriage."
"I know you have a lot of Legendary friends. I don't dare to let you lose your life in my territory."
House arrest?
Ma Wen sneered in his heart. He had a deeper understanding of Madeline.
The City Lord of River Beach City was indeed not an easy person to control.
He had to find a way to leave the carriage.
Unfortunately, the carriage was completely sealed and bound by spells. Unless Ma Wen could flash or travel, there was no way he could escape.
"Looks like I can only take a risk."
He made up his mind.
However, just as he was about to act, an unexpected person appeared.
…
In another compartment of the carriage, a little girl quietly walked over.
The girl was very young, and her eyes were crimson. Her expression was wooden, and she walked over slowly in a close-fitting maid's outfit.
Ma Wen's pupils constricted.
Madeline didn't notice these abnormalities. She handed the Holy Grail to the girl and said, "Put it away."
The girl grunted in a low voice and turned around to walk to the back.
She didn't even look at Ma Wen.
But Ma Wen suddenly said, "How is your mother?"
There was a sudden silence in the carriage. Madeline suddenly felt a sense of alarm.
Ma Wen's words seemed to be out of the ordinary, but only he and the little girl understood!
Isabelle.
Ma Wen still remembered this name clearly. That pair of red eyes that left a deep impression, as well as the indescribable stubbornness she displayed in the face of bullying and humiliation.
For a six-year-old girl, this was too rare.
Isabelle suddenly raised her head. She recognized Ma Wen's voice!
She reacted quickly. "Is this item yours?"
"Isabelle!" Madeline shouted. In the next second, she pointed with her right hand!
An instant-cast Entanglement spell grabbed at the girl.
Ma Wen's heart tightened, but he immediately relaxed.
Because the girl suddenly disappeared from where she was!
Madeline's Entanglement spell missed.
She appeared next to Ma Wen and stuffed the Holy Grail back into Ma Wen's hands.
"My mother is dead," she said.
"The money you gave me was also stolen by the bad guys."
…
"You actually treated your benefactor like this!"
Madeline watched flustered and exasperated as Ma Wen hid the Holy Grail back into the Void Conch.
Right now, even if she snatched Ma Wen's Void Conch, she wouldn't be able to obtain what was inside.
Storage devices usually had self-destruct mechanisms, so her actions were futile.
Isabelle calmly said, "Lord Dual-blade Mask is my benefactor."
"City Lord, you are not."
"I am very grateful that you took me in. But you are not my benefactor. You just want to train me into a weapon of yours. "
"What I owe you, I will return to you. After all, it was your training that helped me unlock my talent. But today, I am sorry. "
After speaking, under Madeline's furious gaze, Isabelle grabbed Ma Wen's hand, and the two of them disappeared from the carriage at the same time!
…
In another even more luxurious carriage, a middle-aged priest sat upright and still. The entire carriage was empty.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the carriage.
The middle-aged priest opened his eyes and only saw a young man and a little girl.
Isabelle's body suddenly went limp. Ma Wen supported her, but he grabbed a handful of sweat!
It was obvious that activating this mysterious secret spell was a great burden for a child as young as her.
"You …" The priest looked at Ma Wen in confusion.
"We will pay," Ma Wen said concisely and threw a Wizard Gold Coin over.
He knew that this sentence was enough for the priest of the Silver Church.
As expected, the latter immediately shut up obediently.
His eyes focused on Isabelle, who was almost unconscious.
He didn't expect to meet this girl in Madeline's carriage after so long in the territory.
"As expected of the descendant of that bloodline …"
"The group of people known as [Natural Assassins] in the legends …"
