Fiancée?!
Hearing this term, Ma Wen almost fell off his chair.
What was going on?
Since when did he have a fiancée?
"Anna, you don't have to report this to me directly, do you?"
Ma Wen was puzzled. "You know about my family's situation, from my grandfather to my father, to me and Vigny."
"The White River Valley does not maintain a good relationship with the nobles outside … How could I have a fiancée?"
Anna nodded. "Logically speaking, that should be the case."
"However, this woman seems to be somewhat different."
"Moreover, what she said made it impossible for me to chase her out of the door."
Ma Wen could not help but frown. "What do you mean?"
Anna took a deep breath and looked at Ma Wen carefully. "She said that this marriage was not arranged by your father or grandfather, but by your great-grandfather."
"She said that your grandfather was the second son of the Duke of the Northern Lavis Duchy. Back then, he ran away from home and came to the South to establish the White River Valley. "
"However, his name still exists in the genealogy of the Crilander family."
"They have been searching for his whereabouts until recently, when they found the White River Valley."
"Thus, your fiancée, who was arranged to be your fiancée, went ahead and could not wait to come to the White River Valley to see you."
Marvin's jaw dropped as he listened.
Wasn't the amount of information a little too much?
Great-grandfather?
The Northern Lavis Duchy?
The Crilander family?
Wait a minute … Ma Wen rubbed his temples.
"Master Ma Wen? Are you alright? "Anna asked cautiously.
Ma Wen took a deep breath. "I'm alright. I was just thinking, how did these things suddenly appear? Why was there no news of them before? "
"Perhaps, this has something to do with your performance in the fight for the Holy Grail," Anna said carefully.
"The first time I heard about this, I was also very surprised, but she described it very well, and even described your grandfather's appearance."
"Previously, the White River Valley was too remote. It was too far away from the Duchy of the North."
"It's normal that they couldn't find your grandfather."
Ma Wen nodded, slowly recalling some information about the duchy in the north.
…
In the north, there were many city-states, unlike the south, where there was a huge Wizard Alliance that ruled over everything.
Battles often broke out between the cities of the Northern Lands.
Countries of all sizes covered the vast land north of the Millennium Mountain Range.
Ma Wen had heard of the reputation of both the Lavis Duchy and the Cryland Family.
This was an ancient country. Although the territory was not particularly large, perhaps due to its superior geographical location, it had always stood firm.
The Criland family was also very mysterious. Some people said that they were a group of people who made a deal with the devil.
They controlled a mysterious power that did not seem to be witchcraft, but many wizards were willing to work for them.
In short, in the north, they could be considered as an influential force.
…
"The lady also brought a message. She said that your great-grandfather wants to see you. If you are willing to return to the north with her, you will regain the right to inherit the Lavis Duchy."
"According to the current situation, you should be able to obtain the right to inherit the Lavis Duchy."
Anna spoke very cautiously. Because she also knew that all of this sounded too ridiculous.
It was true that Ma Wen was a noble, but compared to a giant like the Lavis Duchy, a small place like the White River Valley was really a countryside.
This information seemed very suspicious.
But according to Ma Wen's understanding, his grandfather seemed to be from a famous family in the north.
Unfortunately, the Shadow Thief Owl was no longer in the territory, otherwise he could find him to verify the specific situation.
There was no point in making wild guesses now. It seemed that he really had to meet the so-called "fiancée" tomorrow.
"By the way, did she say what her name is?"
Ma Wen asked.
Anna nodded. "She did say her name, but she did not tell me her surname."
"Her name is very strange. She is called [Bamboo]."
Bamboo?
What a strange name.
"Miss Bamboo, right?"
For some reason, Ma Wen could not help but feel his heart palpitate.
His intuition told him that everything was not that simple.
…
At night, in a room in the castle.
"This White River Valley is really poor."
A girl in a green dress spun around in front of the mirror. Looking at the hem of her dress fluttering, she suddenly chuckled.
"What do you think that Baron Ma Wen will look like when he sees me tomorrow?"
Behind her, a man in black knelt on one knee.
"Lady Bamboo, with your beauty, you will definitely make that country bumpkin fall head over heels for you."
He said.
"But I don't understand why you are doing this. Isn't it better to kill the legendary wizard now while he is away?"
"Fool!"
The girl coldly shouted. "Do you think our target is only this Ma Wen?"
"Everyone who killed Lord Crimson back then can't escape responsibility. We can easily find the legendary wizard Hathaway in the Three Ring High Tower, but the others are different. At the moment, I still don't know how this country bumpkin connected the four legends. I need to find out the truth. "
"Everyone who caused Lord Crimson's death must die."
The man in black slightly lowered his head, hesitated, and asked: "But even though Lady Azure Sky gave you unparalleled divine power, you are still not a legend"
Bamboo laughed cheerfully. "Who said I have to be a legend to kill a legend?"
"Not to mention, Lady Azure Sky's current order is only for me to find out the whereabouts of these people."
"When necessary, she will give me more power. Even the Twin Serpent Destroyer will cast their projection. "
"I think the White River Valley is a good place …"
The girl spun around in front of the mirror, her eyes narrowed into a line. "Suitable for slaughter and sacrifice."
…
The next morning, Ma Wen was dealing with official business in his study.
Vigny woke up earlier than him, which was a very rare thing. Ever since she became the acting lord, she was clearly more serious than before.
After the two of them discussed the territory's affairs, Anna came over.
"Sir, that lady has asked to see you again," Anna said.
Ma Wen nodded.
He suddenly asked: "Right, I forgot to ask you something yesterday. This lady who claims to be my fiancée, when did she come to the White River Valley? "
Anna thought for a moment: "About after Lady Hathaway left."
"Is that so?"
Many thoughts flashed through Ma Wen's mind.
After the legendary wizard left, a fiancée suddenly appeared. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
Did they really think the people in the countryside were pigs?
Vigny tugged at Ma Wen's sleeve and whispered to Ma Wen: "Brother, I don't like that woman."
"I've seen her before. Although she treats me very well and has a very beautiful smile, I always feel uncomfortable."
Ma Wen was even more vigilant.
He was the only one who knew Vigny's identity as a Heaven Awakener. Not only could Heaven Awakeners foresee the future, but they were also extremely talented. Their innate perception could sometimes be very accurate.
It seemed that his fiancée came with ill intentions.
"Let her wait in the guest room for 15 minutes."
"I'll go see her immediately," Ma Wen said.
…
Fifteen minutes was enough for Ma Wen to make some preparations.
After Hathaway left, the territory currently had no high-end combat power. If there was a terrifying enemy, they might not be able to resist.
He first went to find the old blacksmith, Sean.
In the end, the old man was drunk.
He finally woke the old blacksmith up and explained his purpose of coming, only to be scolded.
"Do you think the Exorcist Hunter is your subordinate, that you can summon and dismiss at will?"
"He's a dignified legend. He helped you kill the Crimson Patriarch last time."
Ma Wen said calmly: "I just hope that you can contact him. Hathaway left recently, and the territory doesn't seem to be safe. "
"If he has nothing to do, he can come here for a visit. It's not bad to bring the Endless Ocean. The scenery of the White River Valley is beautiful, suitable for a honeymoon … "
Sean was speechless. He had a new understanding of the thickness of Ma Wen's skin.
"I'll try my best. But don't expect too much. "
Ma Wen nodded.
…
The next step was to improve his strength.
In the battle at the Scarlet Monastery, Ma Wen gained a lot of experience. Originally, his leveling speed had slowed down because of the continuous increase in level.
However, the double-headed snake form was the nemesis of the Devil God Executor, and at the same time, he could gain double experience, which allowed Ma Wen to earn a lot.
He opened the data panel and found that his Slaughter EXP had reached 55,755 points!
This was enough to raise his strength to grade 3!
He thought for a moment and began to quickly distribute the EXP.
Because it was unlikely that Ma Wen would advance to grade 3 before advancing to the legendary class, Master of the Night, so before he reached level 20, Nightwalker and Ranger would be his main classes.
The first step, of course, was to raise the level of Nightwalker.
After spending 25,000 EXP, Ma Wen's Nightwalker reached level 4. 36 Skill Points, 80 HP enhancement. 1 Free Attribute Point.
The second step, raise the level of Ranger. Spent 8,000 EXP to become a level 7 Ranger, at the same time received 24 Skill Points, 48 HP.
The third step, raise the level of Magic Warlock. Spent 20000 EXP, raising the level of Magic Warlock by two levels, bringing this part-time class to level 4.
The upgrade of Magic Warlock gave a total of 72 HP to Ma Wen. At the same time, he finally obtained a spell — Camouflage.
[Camouflage]: Once per day. You can disguise as any human creature (including goblins, dwarves, and other small human-like creatures) for 20 minutes.
The effect was that the priority of camouflage was above 100 points. This was a very powerful camouflage effect. After all, the priority of the Mask of Deceiver's camouflage was only 150 points.
But no matter what, this way, Ma Wen finally reached grade 3 in one go.
His total level was now level 13! (Ranger 7 + Nightwalker 4 + Magic Warlock 42 = 13)
After quickly distributing the Skill Points and Attribute Points, Ma Wen tidied up his equipment and calmly walked to the guest room.
It was time to meet his fiancée.
