The carriage moved forward steadily.
Isabelle was very weak. Although her potential had been stimulated, it was clearly a very difficult thing to bring Ma Wen away from Madeline's carriage.
She had overdrawn a lot of things for this.
Ma Wen looked at the little girl's haggard and stubborn appearance and felt his heart ache.
This child was really different.
He held her in his arms and asked Isabelle about her experience in a low voice. The latter slowed down and told him what happened after she parted with Ma Wen.
…
After Ma Wen single-handedly wiped out the Akron gang, Isabelle also received a sum of money.
She was prepared to use the money to save her mother's life. However, things did not go as she wished.
In the end, her mother did not wait for the divine spell of the Silver Church's priest. While Isabelle was holding the young priest's hand and running all the way, she had already breathed her last in that small slum.
"When she died, a group of people suddenly rushed in. If it wasn't for the priest protecting me, I'm afraid I would have been snatched away by them. "
"All the money you gave me was stolen by them, saying that my mother owed them a debt when she was alive. That's impossible. My mother didn't owe anyone money when she was alive. "
"The young priest couldn't do anything either. Those people were very powerful. They were from another gang. He was kind enough to offer to bury my mother — in that shabby graveyard — but I refused. "
"I wanted to get some money to give my mother a better funeral and burial place."
The girl's tone was very calm, but the content of her narration became more and more shocking.
"Around this time, there was a man in the slum, many years older than me. He was drunk and wanted to grab me. I didn't know what he wanted to do, so I began to resist."
"I killed him with the dagger you gave me."
"This was my first time killing, but I didn't feel very disgusted. I got the money from him. "
"At that time, I suddenly realized that you can get money from killing."
"So I began to kill."
Her crimson eyes began to flicker, and there was no fluctuation on the girl's delicate face.
Killing people seemed to be a very common thing to her.
Ma Wen shook his head silently.
"It's wrong to kill," the priest interrupted.
"I've already paid for the cab." Marvin glared at him. The latter shrugged and continued to close his eyes to rest.
…
What happened after that was lackluster. Isabelle, who was originally full of talent, quickly mingled in the slums like a fish in water.
Ma Wen found it hard to imagine how this six-year-old girl had transformed into a terrifying killer under the cruel pressure of reality.
She had saved a lot of money by killing people and gangsters. Finally, she buried her mother.
Then she encountered the reorganization of River Beach City. Madeline took a fancy to Isabelle and brought her back to her wizard tower, preparing to train her into a personal maid and a real assassin.
In the Magus Tower, she even had a Grade 3 Assassin as her mentor. It was clear that Madeline also saw Isabelle's talent.
It was just that she didn't know what this pair of crimson eyes meant.
…
A mission from his past life appeared in Ma Wen's mind. The boy who charged into the sea of fire and perished together with the enemy left a deep impression. Just like Isabelle, the boy also had a pair of crimson eyes.
Killing seemed to be the destiny of this race.
They were natural assassins, the inheritors of Shar's will. Their blood contained a trace of the power of the ancient gods, and this power made them different from others since young.
They called themselves the 'Hammonds'. 300 years ago, this race lived on Hammon Island in the north and rarely interacted with the outside world.
However, an accident happened. A large magus family took a fancy to the favorable terrain of Hammon Island and prepared to develop it. This naturally met with strong resistance from the people of this race.
Both sides engaged in a terrifying and bloody battle, and in the end, the Hammonds were completely slaughtered by witchcraft, leaving only a few wandering outside.
After that battle, the magus family suffered a great loss and could only barely occupy Hammon Island and its original fief. Their development was not as good as before.
The reason was simple. The Hammonds were natural assassins, and the threat they posed to magi was unprecedented.
For example, Isabelle, a mere six year old girl, had grasped the ability to move freely in and out of a carriage enchanted with a rank 4 magus spell!
In that battle, the powerful magus family had lost too many experts.
From then on, the Hammonds retreated from the stage of Fernand's history. Occasionally, a few of them would appear, but the moment they met the magus family, they would carry out a vengeance. Later on, those who had the Hammonds' bloodline gradually forgot about it.
This part of history, even among the God-ranked players in his past life, not many knew about it.
Ma Wen just so happened to be one of them. He had participated in a mission called [Revenge of the Hammonds]. In that mission, he joined hands with his friend from the Hammonds and directly blew up Hammon Island!
The number of magi that died in his hands was simply uncountable. However, the number of magi killed by that boy from the Hammonds race was more than double that of the ruler of the night, Ma Wen!
After all, that boy was only a rank 4 magus.
If he were to advance into the legendary rank ….. His strength would be unimaginable!
Ma Wen had seen some records before. It was very difficult for the Hammonds to advance into the legendary rank. Many of them were stuck at rank 4. Occasionally, there were some who showed signs of advancing into the legendary rank, but they would be killed by the Shadow Prince. The Hammonds were the easiest people to replace the Shadow Prince. Thus, Ma Wen even suspected that the conflict between the magus family and Hammon Island was instigated by that son of a b * tch.
Ma Wen clearly remembered that after the Hammonds advanced into the legendary rank, they would definitely obtain an extremely powerful legendary ability — [Infinite Flash]!
This ability was many times stronger than the astral creature [Void Flash], which had a similar innate ability.
The only flaw was that the Hammonds were easily bloodthirsty. They could easily take the lives of others, which made them indifferent to life.
Ma Wen also killed people, but he loved life.
In Isabelle's eyes, Ma Wen saw pure indifference.
This gave him a huge headache.
… …
"Don't worry. Since we've met again, you can just follow me."
"I won't let Madeline snatch you away from me."
Ma Wen said softly as he gently stroked Isabelle's hair.
The latter nodded lightly and suddenly asked, "Mr. Dual-bladed Mask, I still don't know your name?"
"Dual-bladed Mask is the Baron Ma Wen of the White River Valley. Everyone knows that." The priest interrupted again.
Ma Wen rolled his eyes at him, tacitly agreeing.
Isabelle replied with an "oh".
It seemed that to her, it was not important whether Ma Wen was Dual-bladed Mask or not.
The only thing that mattered was that she remembered this name.
In fact, when she was being beaten up by those two hooligans that day, and Marvin had swiftly dealt with them, she had secretly remembered all of this in her heart.
For this extremely precocious girl, before that, no one had ever reached out to her like Ma Wen did that day.
She remembered every word that Ma Wen had said – she even remembered the action of him throwing the dagger to her at that time. He smiled and said,
"Take it, Miss Isabelle. Tonight, we have a common enemy."
At that time, she made an unknown vow in her heart.
Her world was originally gray, but because of this vow, there was suddenly a hint of color.
"Dual-bladed Mask, White River Valley, Baron Ma Wen …"
She looked at Ma Wen deeply, as if to engrave his appearance in the bottom of her heart.
Ma Wen sighed, but his mind began to think about how to deal with Madeline.
Who knew that at this time, the priest suddenly said, "Someone is coming in. If you don't want her to come in, you have to pay more."
In an instant, a door appeared in the middle of the carriage.
Madeline!
Ma Wen's eyelids twitched, and his mind turned quickly.
However, at this time, the middle-aged priest suddenly reached out and gently pushed, closing the door.
"First closing, free of charge," he said.
Marvin was flabbergasted by the way he lifted the heavy as if it were light!
This guy …
He actually closed Madeline's Anywhere Door just like that?
What kind of power was this?
"Wait …"
Ma Wen stared at the priest in front of him, and finally remembered, "You are Lord Collins?"
The middle-aged priest nodded calmly, "There are still eight seconds before the door opens again. Madeline looks very angry."
White-robed Collins!
The person with the highest authority in River Beach City of the Silver Church, a fourth-order legendary mage!
Ma Wen had been paying attention to Isabelle's state, and did not notice that Isabelle had flashed into this lord's carriage with him!
This guy did not have the demeanor of a strong man at all, and it was inevitable that people would overlook him with a greedy look.
"How much does it cost to not let her in?" Ma Wen asked quickly.
Collins thought for a moment and said, "That's quite expensive."
"First right to mine half a gold mine. The scale is no smaller than the one north of River Beach City. "Ma Wen rolled his eyes and opened his mouth.
Collins looked Ma Wen up and down, a little suspicious, "There is a gold mine in your territory?"
"Very soon," Ma Wen said calmly, "At most a month."
"Deal." Collins smiled faintly and pushed open the 'Anything Door' that he had just opened.
Madeline's roar came from outside, "Collins, you bastard! What the hell are you doing?! "
"Let me in!"
…
"You have to tell me where the gold mine is first." Collins stared at Ma Wen seriously.
Ma Wen replied, "Under the butts of a group of ogres …"
Collins immediately widened his eyes. He immediately went to open the car door and prepared to invite Madeline in!
Marvin immediately said, "Give me three minutes, just three minutes."
"Don't try to deceive an honest businessman," Collins warned, "I will help you for three minutes in exchange for the first right to mine the gold mine."
"Deal!"
Ma Wen grabbed a piece of parchment from the void conch and cut his finger with a curved knife.
Swish, swish, swish, he began to write something on the parchment.
