"How is this possible!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why do I look so much older!"
Ma Wen looked at himself in the pool in horror. He tried to calm himself down!
The data panel!
He could not see his data panel.
Ma Wen felt a little calmer. Could it be an illusion?
But what kind of illusion could even fool his data panel?
He could feel his life force fading away bit by bit.
With every step he took up the mountain, he aged a little.
This was not the Endless Mountain, it was the Mountain of Death!
For the first time, Ma Wen's heart was filled with uncertainty.
This was a rare situation.
Ever since he came to this world, no matter what the situation was, he could use the data panel to distinguish things.
But in this strange Endless Mountain, he actually lost the ability to check the data panel.
What the hell was going on?
He looked up at the mountain. The mountain was silent, and there was still no end in sight.
Ma Wen rested for a while and managed to recover some of his strength.
He stood by the pool for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and made his decision.
No matter what, since he had chosen this path, he could only move forward. There was no going back.
He would not retreat even if he died.
"I don't believe that the Night Lord will set up a checkpoint of death to deal with those who come after me!"
Marvin threw caution to the wind. He no longer cared about the aging of his body. Step by step, he laboriously climbed upwards.
…
By the stove, the old blacksmith had stopped forging.
The two of them looked at Marvin's tiny figure with a heavy heart as he continued to climb up the mountain!
This was also the first time they had seen the legendary Endless Mountain!
"Is this really true?" O 'Brien asked nervously. "Why do I feel his life force fading away at a crazy rate?"
The old blacksmith was silent.
"I have never seen any records about this!"
"No one has ever reached Ma Wen's level."
"He does seem to be aging. After a while, he will become a white-haired old man."
O 'Brien said decisively, "I can't let him die here."
"What if this is part of the test?" The old blacksmith retorted, "You know that it's a test, but facing the threat of death, especially watching yourself age rapidly, is something that not many people can accept, right?"
"But what if this is not a test, but a punishment from the Night Lord for breaking the rules?"
O 'Brien said, frowning.
The old blacksmith clenched his fists and did not speak again.
His eyes were filled with worry.
Because he didn't know what would happen next!
…
On the Endless Mountain, Ma Wen was still climbing.
His mind had forgotten everything, or rather, he had put everything else behind him.
He only remembered one thing.
That is perseverance.
This was the path he had chosen, and he had to walk it to the end.
Even if he had to bet his life.
Gradually, his body began to age faster.
After a while, when he rested again, he saw that his hair had turned white.
His skin began to wrinkle, his body began to shrink, and his bones became brittle.
As he continued to climb, he had more time to rest.
Fortunately, this mountain was not steep. Sometimes, it was even very gentle.
Otherwise, the panting Ma Wen would not have been able to continue.
He dragged his old and fragile body, step by step, up.
Gradually, a strange feeling rose in his heart.
His soul seemed to have left his body. He watched his body slowly climb up, and then fell on the mountain.
He floated in the mountain, watching his body gradually weathering, his skin fading, and finally, even his bones turned into dust.
He and the mountain became one.
"Really, I died just like that?"
In a daze, he could no longer keep his mind clear.
But he still continued to climb.
His soul was still trying its best to move forward, never to retreat.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"What's the point of this? This kind of pointless perseverance will not succeed. "
In a daze, Marvin didn't know how to answer him.
He just continued to float upward.
His attitude seemed to have angered that powerful existence in the dark.
A gust of wind blew, almost blowing his soul away!
Suddenly, he came back to his senses.
The voice spoke again, "What's the point of this?"
What's the point?
Ma Wen silently thought in his heart, "Not every perseverance must be meaningful."
"Since I've made my decision, I must continue."
His soul became weaker and weaker, almost dispersing in the wind.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in the darkness!
A giant golden eagle flew down from the sky, and the world suddenly became bright.
For the first time in the entire Kingdom of Evernight, such radiance bloomed. The feathers on the eagle's body glowed, illuminating everything!
It quickly flew down and grabbed Ma Wen.
In the next second, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew up into the sky!
The eagle brought Ma Wen through the thick layer of clouds.
This time, Marvin felt that his life force had increased a little with every increase in the distance he climbed.
His body returned, and then his hair returned to its original color. His wrinkles also began to disappear.
His mind became clear.
The eagle gently grabbed him, and he could easily see all kinds of scenery in the dark clouds!
Unlike the gloomy gray he had imagined, the clouds were actually flashing with a myriad of colors.
Ma Wen could not see what it was, but he thought it was beautiful.
After passing through the final layer of clouds, he looked up and saw the top of the mountain.
"So, the Endless Mountain has an end after all."
As he thought so, the eagle suddenly sped up and gently placed him on the top of the mountain.
He stood at the top of the Endless Mountain, overlooking everything. The dark sea in the distance was silent.
At this moment, a pair of eyes lit up in the darkness.
Ma Wen knew that it was the will of the Night Lord.
"Finally, I've made the right bet!"
He looked at everything recorded in the data panel and clenched his fist in excitement!
…
Beside the stove, the two-generation leader of the Nightwalkers, who had seen many storms and waves, did not know what to say.
They had lost track of Ma Wen. From the moment the eagle appeared, they knew that Ma Wen had succeeded.
He had obtained the Night Lord's affirmation.
That was because they knew that giant eagle.
He was one of the Night Lord's best companions.
After the Night Lord left, the eagle entered the Kingdom of Evernight forever. He swore to protect this place forever.
"It seems that I am not far from retirement," O 'Brien said self-deprecatingly. "You are right. He really is different."
"He can be the leader of the Nightwalkers."
But the old blacksmith patted him on the shoulder. "It is not time yet."
"Ma Wen is our hope. He is our future."
"And you are our present. Without you, the Nightwalkers and the Fernand Continent have lost a very important pillar. You understand. "
O 'Brien nodded.
"Let us see how many more miracles Ma Wen can create."
…
On the top of the mountain, the pair of eyes stared at Ma Wen for a long time.
The deep voice rang out again. "You are my heir?"
Ma Wen said seriously, "I do not know. It is up to you. "
His eyes flashed, and finally he said, "You have passed the test. You are qualified to inherit my things."
The next second, the pair of eyes fused into one, turning into a strange mark and fusing into Ma Wen's chest.
Some memories of this mark suddenly appeared in his mind.
This mark was called the [Mark of Evernight].
It was the status symbol of the true heir of the Night Lord.
With the Mark of Evernight, he could freely enter and exit the Kingdom of Evernight!
And in the Kingdom of Evernight, he could also summon the eagle Belasse to help him.
What surprised him even more was that the moment the Mark of Evernight entered his body, the Night Lord gave him a temporary blessing!
The effect of this temporary blessing was terrifying!
[The Night Lord's Temporary Blessing: Strength + 15, Constitution + 15 (Lasts for three minutes)]
Only three minutes!
Ma Wen, who had always been quick-witted, immediately understood everything.
The next second, he used the Mark of Evernight and quickly summoned the eagle Belasse!
Under Ma Wen's call. The eagle swooped down. Ma Wen took a step and jumped onto the eagle's back.
"Let's go to the Sea of Darkness!"
Ma Wen said as he stroked the soft feathers on the eagle's neck.
Whoosh!
The golden eagle was like a sharp blade, cutting through everything and flying toward the Sea of Darkness!
…
A minute later, the eagle landed on the beach.
On the beach, there was a heavy stone sword.
Through the Mark of Evernight, Ma Wen knew the use of the sword.
"Two minutes left …"
There was a time limit to the bonus of strength and constitution!
He had to finish this quickly!
Thinking of this, Ma Wen immediately rushed to the edge of the stone sword, grabbed the hilt, and pulled it out!
The sword was very heavy. Without the Night Lord's 15 points of strength, Ma Wen could not pull it out!
The stone sword had no attributes, only one special effect.
That was to cut through the Sea of Darkness!
Ma Wen took a deep breath. Through the Mark of Evernight, he could feel the stone sword responding to him.
The next second, he rushed to the beach and slashed down with the sword.
The sea suddenly collapsed.
The horrifying giant waves split in two!
One by one, the petrified figures slowly rose from the sea!
Nineteen warriors who had slept for god knows how many years had finally awakened again!
The stone sword fell to the ground, and the warriors opened their eyes and looked at Ma Wen.
They knelt on one knee, just like how they treated the Night Lord.
Perhaps they no longer had the legendary strength they had before they went into hibernation, but they were still invincible warriors.
Ma Wen let out a long sigh.
With these real warriors.
He would definitely win this battle!
…
"What?!"
"Baron Ma Wen of the White River Valley is not in the territory?"
In the cool carriage, a girl in a luxurious dress frowned. "He doesn't want to see me, so he doesn't want to lend me. How can he come up with such a lame excuse?"
"I really don't know what father is thinking, marrying me to this rural place!"
The knight outside the carriage said gently, "My lady, please calm down. This reason is a bit too perfunctory, but I heard that this Lord Ma Wen seems to like to run around outside. "
"It's the lord's order, we can't go against it. So, let's wait here for a while."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait until when?" The girl said unhappily, "If it wasn't for that thing, I wouldn't want to come to this damn place!"
"My lady still needs a little patience." The knight smiled and said, "Back then, Lord Marvin's grandfather stole the family's treasure and left Lavis alone. We looked in many places, but we couldn't find it. "
"I didn't expect to find his descendant this time. We must be careful."
"No matter what, we have to get that treasure back. Only then can you give the lord an explanation. "
The girl could not help but say, "Why don't we go and snatch it?"
"Anyway, I don't think there are many people in this territory, and I don't think there are any masters. With our knights, we can easily capture this castle. Then we can slowly look for it. "
The knight laughed.
"My lady, no matter what, Lord Ma Wen is also a descendant of the Crilland family."
"Although his grandfather made a mistake, this mistake has nothing to do with him. He might not even know about it."
"Moreover, in terms of blood relations, he is the brother closest to you."
"According to the family rules, the two of you are married, and it is an ironclad fact. Do you really want to attack your fiancé's castle? "
The girl was speechless, and could only use her fists to pound the carriage seat.
At this moment, a person walked past the carriages and looked at them curiously.
The girl shouted unhappily, "What are you looking at?!"
Ma Wen was stunned. "This is my territory. Can't I look at it?"
