Ma Wen coughed under everyone's curious gazes.
"It's a secret."
Madeline's eyes widened. She really wanted to whip out a whip and beat this infuriating man until he begged for forgiveness!
However, when this thought appeared in her mind, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Ma Wen said with a smile, "As long as you don't violate the rules of the Law Contract, it won't hurt you."
"Isn't it?"
Medeline's face was ashen.
She turned around abruptly and glanced at everyone in the River Beach City army.
Everyone was silent.
White-robed Collins also let out a bitter laugh and spread his hands.
With the Astral Sword Sage sitting there, apart from Marvin, no one could surpass him!
"One day, I will become a legend!"
Medeline took a deep breath and stared at the Astral Sword Sage. "Then clean this place up!"
The man said gently, "Okay."
Medeline was about to go crazy.
She couldn't help but feel angry.
Back in River Beach City, there were very few men she couldn't handle!
With her intelligence and outstanding charm, it was unknown how many men had succumbed to her.
However, during the attack on the Scarlet Monastery, she had encountered two men who wouldn't budge under the carrot or the stick.
One of them really couldn't beat him because his strength was too abnormal. The other one was tricked.
Thinking of this, Medeline gritted her teeth in anger.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for her next instruction. Ma Wen leisurely returned to Isabelle's side.
"Retreat!"
Medeline hesitated for a long time. In the end, she reluctantly looked in the direction where the secret passage disappeared and gave the order.
The army of River Beach City began to slowly withdraw from the Scarlet Monastery.
In the end, they didn't manage to wipe out this terrifying place.
But at least the Demon God Executors and other monsters wouldn't appear near River Beach City anymore. This was a bit of comfort for Medeline and the residents of River Beach City.
…
In the stable carriage, Ma Wen leaned against the cushion in a relaxed manner.
Collins was still as calm as ever. Other than the fact that he was a little helpless when facing the Astral Sword Sage, he remained calm most of the time.
He didn't even ask Ma Wen what he had taken from the basement.
"About the gold mine, when do you plan to develop it?"
After a long time, the old cunning fox finally said this sentence.
Ma Wen thought for a moment and said, "It won't take too long. When I return this time, I will immediately reorganize the territory and gather a batch of troops … "
"Let's focus on the adventurers." Collins pointed out the predicament of Ma Wen's territory lacking mid-level combat power.
Ma Wen said calmly, "There are many such experts in Gem Bay."
"As long as the price is right, they will come."
Collins nodded. "It seems that you have found a shortcut to Gem Bay?"
"More or less," Ma Wen said with a smile, "In short, I can have them assemble in two weeks at most."
"Okay, two weeks later then."
Collins said, "But the Ogre Tribe isn't that easy to deal with. If my people suffer a certain amount of losses, I will retreat from the battlefield. "
"Don't worry, I have my own plans," Ma Wen said confidently.
The Ogre Tribe was unable to survive in the Screaming Mountains, so they had to move down.
Ogre warriors were born Grade 2, but their combat power was extremely high. If there were no wizards in charge of this tribe of about 20 people, it would require at least an army of 200 people to deal with them.
This was under the condition that they had the right tactics and intelligence.
In short, the Ogres were incredibly talented creatures, but most of them didn't have a high upper limit.
There were only a few legendary Ogres in the history of Fernand. There were quite a few quasi-legendary Ogres.
"If we want to develop the White River Valley, we must defeat the Ogre Tribe."
"Only then can we expand our territory to the coastline."
"Once we build a port, it will be easier to trade with Gem Bay."
"The White River and Pine River are two of the main rivers of the continent. As long as we use them properly, we can speed up the development of the entire territory."
"The key is still food and manpower …"
In the carriage, Ma Wen's mind went through the next step of the plan.
However, at this moment, an Arbitrary Door suddenly opened.
"Do you need me to close the door?"
Collins asked, "Since we're allies now, I'll halve the fee this time."
Halve the fee? Isn't that a quarter of the gold mine?
Ma Wen laughed dryly, "No need."
He had the Law Contract in his hands, so he wasn't afraid of Madeline having any bad intentions.
Collins shrugged his shoulders and allowed the woman in the Random Door to come over.
"Baron Ma Wen!"
Madeline walked over with a serious expression, "I think we need to talk."
…
Outside River City, Ma Wen and Madeline took a leisurely stroll.
Isabelle followed two steps behind Ma Wen like a little burden.
"I've already sent people from the logistics team to transport your spoils of war to your White River Valley."
"Apart from that, I've also given you some other gifts, including food and clothes. And some craftsmen that your castle lacks the most. "
"I don't think I need to say more about my sincerity."
Madeline stopped and looked at Ma Wen, "Tell me, what did you take from the first floor?"
Ma Wen first thanked her.
Then came silence.
He still hadn't figured out how to answer Madeline's question.
Ma Wen could obviously see her desire to become a legend. However, he also knew how terrifying the third chapter of the Naru's Book was.
The younger brother of the Stellar Sword Saint was originally a kind person, but because of this page of the Naru's Book, his mind became completely twisted and he went crazy.
In the end, he became a lich and even tried to advance to the sub-domain of the God of Massacre.
The Book of Naru was a terrible thing. It could change a person.
If it was the sixth page, Ma Wen would probably ask for some bargaining chips, so he gave it to Madeline.
Just like what he did to Hathaway.
But the third page …
"This is [Annihilation] …"
Ma Wen felt a bit of a headache.
Once Madeline got [Annihilation], whether she died or became a legend, Ma Wen didn't want to see that happen.
If she succeeded in becoming a legend, the Law Contract would automatically become invalid. When that time came, only God knew how much trouble Ma Wen would suffer.
If she died, then River City would definitely be in chaos.
Moreover, the most terrifying result was not death, but insanity … River City was so close to the White River Valley, and Ma Wen hoped that this force could always be stable.
At least before he had the ability to annex this force, he had to maintain stability. Otherwise, the security of the White River Valley would be threatened.
So he was also in a dilemma.
…
"You took the Book of Naru, didn't you?"
Madeline was very smart. Seeing Ma Wen's hesitation, she immediately guessed.
"Are you afraid that I'll take revenge after becoming a legend?"
Her voice suddenly became very soft. "Believe me, that won't happen."
"I'm all yours now."
"As long as you want."
All of a sudden, the originally seductive succubus transformed into a delicate young girl.
Her expression became very holy, even a little shy.
"Please, give it to me. I'm all yours now. "
"Everyone, including River City, will listen to your command."
"If you think that's not enough, we can join forces to open up the wilderness. River City and the White River Valley, and a few more towns to the south, we can get a higher noble title from the Southern Wizard Alliance. Earl Ma Wen? How about this title? "
"All of this is at your fingertips."
"As long as you give it to me."
At this point, she suddenly put her arm around Ma Wen's shoulder.
Madeline was now a little taller than Ma Wen.
She showed a shy expression. If others saw it, their hearts would probably thump.
Ma Wen only felt that it was funny.
Come on, you're a succubus. How can you play such a pure role so easily? Is it really suitable?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, she suddenly kissed him gently.
Ma Wen was stunned.
The Law Contract could only restrict harmful behavior, but it could not restrict intimate behavior.
"Damn, am I going to be kissed by force?"
Ma Wen was about to struggle, but at this moment, he suddenly felt his lips quickly become abnormally cold.
A miraculous rune appeared on his lips, and then it quietly imprinted itself onto Madeline's lips.
The latter's expression changed dramatically.
However, it was all too late.
A cold breath instantly appeared in this space. With a whoosh, under Ma Wen's horrified gaze, Madeline was frozen into an ice sculpture!
"This is …"
Many thoughts flashed through Ma Wen's mind, finally stopping on a delicate face!
In his memory, on that balcony, a little girl kissed him.
Hathaway!
…
Sure enough, when Ma Wen turned around with a bitter smile, Hathaway quietly appeared with a cold little face.
"Do you like this succubus?"
She asked coldly.
Ma Wen shook his head and said, "No …"
Hathaway interrupted, "Then why didn't you kill her but sign the Law Contract?"
Ma Wen was stunned. "Why would I kill her?"
Hathaway was silent.
Right now, she looked like a sixteen-year-old girl, and when she got angry, it was quite a different flavor.
However, right now, Ma Wen felt a headache.
"Is this jealousy?"
Isabelle asked curiously.
If the little girl didn't make a sound, the others would ignore her.
Hathaway glanced at Isabelle, and then her expression became even more gloomy. "And who is this little girl?"
"Baron Ma Wen, you're quite popular with women …"
Ma Wen took a deep breath and opened his hands, motioning for Hathaway to calm down.
Then, he deliberated over his words and asked carefully:
"Will every girl I kiss in the future be frozen into an ice sculpture?"
