Ma Wen was at a loss for words.
He did not expect that the words he blurted out would let Daniela know his future title in advance.
At this moment, he finally remembered why Daniela looked familiar to him ever since he saw her.
At first, he thought it was because of the resonance between their bloodlines.
After all, in Fernand, many bloodlines did resonate with each other. Ever since Ma Wen saw Daniela, he felt that she was different from the rest.
But this had nothing to do with bloodlines. It was because he knew her!
However, the Daniela that Ma Wen knew was not the current Daniela, but the Arctic Queen after the Great Cataclysm!
At that time, although Daniela was also very beautiful, she was somewhat different from now.
Now that he thought about it, Ma Wen guessed that it was most likely because the Arctic Queen he saw was Daniela in her Ice Angel form!
After the profession of Demon Warlock reached a certain level, they could choose a form to replace their original human form as their main form.
In the future, Daniela would most likely change her main form to the Ice Angel form that she spoke of, so her appearance was somewhat different.
...
But because of this, the way Ma Wen looked at Daniela immediately changed.
Such a powerful figure was actually his cousin?!
In Ma Wen's memory, the Duchy of Lavis in the North was one of the few countries that was not destroyed by the Great Cataclysm.
Not only that, the Queen of Lavis, who was this lady before him, took advantage of the Great Cataclysm to expand her territory.
She was the queen of the North. In the end, she had a fierce conflict with the God of Ice, and in a rage, the two fought fiercely for a whole month!
And in this month, the whole of Fernand entered a winter where everything was frozen.
Daniela was not bragging. In the future, she did indeed have the ability to make the whole of Fernand fall into winter!
This was the terrifying power of the Demon Warlocks, the power of the Numan people!
In contrast, the two forms of Ma Wen, be it the Beast form or the Shadow form, were far inferior to Daniela's Ice Angel form.
This also had to do with the purity of his bloodline.
Ma Wen's awakening was forcibly triggered by the Spirit of Luck. Otherwise, with his thin and almost negligible Numan bloodline, it would have been impossible for him to awaken the profession of Magical Warlock.
"Looks like this cousin and fiancée are the real deal."
"It must be because the news of me transforming into an Anzuran Bearman during the fight for the Holy Grail reached the North, and they sent people to investigate."
"But then again, even if I show the ability of a magical warlock, why does the royal family of Lavis value me so much?"
"You want to marry the future Ice Queen to me?"
"There must be a reason behind this."
Ma Wen did not let the pleasant surprise get to his head.
There must be a reason why they came to the White River Valley to find him.
As expected, after chatting for a while, Daniela reached the main point of this trip.
…
Ten minutes later, Daniela looked at Ma Wen in silence.
Meanwhile, Ma Wen was thinking.
Daniela was honest.
At least she was being honest.
She came to the White River Valley to do two things on behalf of the royal family of Lavis.
First, to be engaged to Ma Wen.
Second, to retrieve something.
The first thing stemmed from an ancient tradition of the Creeland family.
The mysterious and huge Creeland family had many branches and clansmen. Among them, the royal family of Lavis was one of the most outstanding.
In this family, every descendant could awaken the Numan bloodline and become a magical warlock.
Of course, the probability was not high.
In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the Creeland family had a strict rule that only marriages within the family were allowed. At the same time, in order to produce more powerful magical warlocks in the next generation, some branches had another rule, and that was to marry the person closest to their bloodline.
However, in the branch that Daniela belonged to, every one of them was female!
If she wanted to get married, she had to look for males from other branches. This was intolerable to the royal family of Lavis, who had always valued the purity of the bloodline.
Just as they were worrying about this matter, Ma Wen appeared in their field of vision.
Ma Wen and Daniela had the same great-grandfather, so they were from the same branch.
So, according to the family rules, they had to get married.
Of course, rules were dead, and not every descendant of the Creeland family was willing to be bound by the damn rules.
For example, Ma Wen's grandfather was one of them. When he was young, he was extremely rebellious. In order to disobey this rule, he left the North and came to the South.
However, for the royal family of Lavis, the most important thing was that he also took away a treasure of the Creeland family!
In Ma Wen's opinion, Daniela's greater purpose in coming to the White River Valley this time was to retrieve that treasure for the Principality of Lavis.
As for the engagement … God knew if she would just leave after retrieving the treasure.
With Daniela's arrogance and super strength, Ma Wen knew that he could not control her for the time being. Moreover, Ma Wen had no interest in this kind of inexplicable engagement.
…
"My apologies, Miss Daniela."
Ma Wen thought for a moment and finally replied, "I know nothing about the treasure you mentioned."
"My father was killed by the Twin Serpent Sect, but he did not reveal anything about the treasure to me. As for my grandfather, I have no impression of him at all. "
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."
He had his own ideas.
This treasure was brought out by his grandfather from the family, so it must be extremely valuable.
For Lavis to place so much importance on it, and it was related to a Greater Demon, there were too many things involved.
It was impossible for Ma Wen to give away what his grandfather had left for him.
"Is that so?"
Daniela narrowed her eyes. "In that case, I have a request."
"Please speak." Ma Wen was very polite.
"Can you let me look in your castle? Maybe the treasure is hidden somewhere. "
"If you are willing to return the treasure to its rightful owner, you will receive unimaginable wealth and resources from the Crerand Family!"
Daniela was very calm during the negotiation, completely different from the unruly girl just now.
Ma Wen fell silent.
"Impossible."
Ma Wen resolutely said, "This is my castle, I won't let anyone randomly search my territory."
"And as you can see, I'm preparing for a war. At least for the duration of the war, I will not allow this to happen. "
Daniela frowned.
Ma Wen's tough attitude was beyond her expectations.
"Do you think that your White River Valley can compete with the mighty Ravis Duchy?"
She whispered.
A snowflake was already brewing in Daniela's palm.
Ma Wen did not speak.
Because at this time, a handsome uncle suddenly jumped in from the window. He shook his brand-new trench coat and said casually,
"Ma Wen, why does every one of your fiancées want to make a move on you?"
The snowflake suddenly dissipated, and Daniela revealed an expression of disbelief.
Constantine casually sat in a seat in the conference room, looked at Daniela, and commented, "But they are all quite beautiful."
Ma Wen smiled and nodded at Constantine to express his gratitude.
With this legendary figure in charge, Daniela, who was not yet a legend, would not dare to act presumptuously!
He also had more confidence in the negotiation.
"Allow me to introduce you, this is Lord Constantine."
Ma Wen shrugged. "White River Valley has no intention of going against Ravis. I am really busy now, I have a war to prepare for. "
"So now, please allow me to take my leave. I will make arrangements for your people, but please do not do anything beyond what I allow. Otherwise, you and I both know that the outcome will be very awkward. "
"By the way, if you have a long journey and haven't practiced for a long time, Lord Constantine might be willing to practice with you."
"What do you think?"
He looked at Constantine.
The latter took the glass of wine in front of Ma Wen, took a sip, and smiled at Daniela.
"Of course, it would be my honor."
…
Late at night, in his bedroom, Ma Wen still could not sleep.
The negotiation during the day was only the beginning of the trouble. Although Constantine had temporarily blocked Daniela, he knew that his cousin was not easy to deal with.
This meant that Constantine had to stay in the castle.
This war would become difficult without the participation of a legend.
However, Ma Wen was not particularly worried.
After all, he still had another friend.
"Phew …"
"Fortunately, I still have Ibu."
The combat power that the Elven Martial Saint could display on the battlefield was definitely not weaker than Constantine's!
"Tomorrow, we will go to the temporary camp and prepare for war."
"The daily affairs of White River Valley will still be handled by Anna and Vigny. One Dark Guardian and two Phantom Assassins should be enough to deal with emergencies. "
"Constantine will hold Daniela and Auron back."
"I have to make an appointment with Ibu in advance."
Many things flashed through Ma Wen's mind.
He kept thinking.
He did not fall asleep until dawn.
"Damn it … I can't sleep."
"Wait, there's something I haven't done."
Ma Wen opened the data interface and looked at the huge pile of unallocated skill points and two attribute points. He slapped his head.
He had been too busy recently. After advancing to Grade 3, he did not even have the skill points and attribute points allocated!
Rangers had 24 points. Ma Wen thought for a moment and threw them all into [Listen]. This skill was very useful in individual battles. Moreover, 50 points of [Listen] could only be used to activate the important skill [Location Hearing]. The 24 points were well spent.
Nightwalker had 36 skill points. Ma Wen hesitated for a moment and put 20 points into [Night Jump], leaving the remaining 16 points aside.
Frontline Gunner had 30 points. Unfortunately, Ma Wen could not use these skills at the moment. They were all related to firearms. After returning Zi Yao to Constantine, he did not have his own pistol.
As for the two most important attribute points.
Ma Wen was in a dilemma.
Should he continue to increase his agility? Or balance his development?
