"It's a strange experience to be called 'Grandpa' by a boy who doesn't look much younger than me."
The young man in the painting blinked, "What's your name again? Are you Gene's or Miller's child? "
"My name is Ma Wen. My father is Gene, "Ma Wen said simply.
"Are they all right?" The man in the painting said in distress, "After I left, I didn't pay attention to the White River Valley for a long time. I gave the valley to your father, but he's not very talented, so I've been worried about you."
"After you left?"
Ma Wen was shocked.
"You didn't die?"
The young man laughed, "Of course, that was just a prank. But now it seems that I won't be able to go back for a while. For ordinary mortals, maybe it's better to let them think that I'm dead."
Ma Wen suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Her grandfather was actually still alive!
At first, he thought that this painting was an alchemy item with the spell [Sound and Shadow]. The people and the words in the painting were all recorded in advance.
But he didn't expect that his grandfather was still alive.
Then this painting …
"This painting will be destroyed in a few minutes. You probably won't see me for a long time, little Ma Wen. "
A trace of kindness flashed in the young man's eyes as he looked at Marvin. Although Marvin felt that this kindness was a little out of place, he braced himself and accepted it.
After all, he was his grandfather.
"It's a very troublesome thing to communicate across planes, unless you can find someone to copy a similar alchemy item."
The young man finally became serious, "We don't have much time. I know you have a lot of questions, but I have to tell you the important ones."
In the next two and a half minutes, the young man talked non-stop, and Ma Wen remembered every word he said.
The content was really shocking.
Ma Wen repeatedly confirmed in his heart that there was no mistake in what his grandfather told him.
When the time was up, the lower part of the painting began to burn automatically.
"Looks like we don't have much time for small talk." The young man chuckled. "Although I'm surprised that you didn't become a wizard, it's also an interesting path for a Ranger to be a Warlock. I can also see the blessings of many powerhouses on you. You seem to be shouldering the expectations of many people. "
"I'm proud of you."
"This painting will eventually leave behind some remnants. That remnant is the coordinates of a plane. If you can get your hands on an item that allows you to communicate across planes, you can try to contact me. I know you have many questions, but for now, you can only explore them yourself bit by bit …"
Before he could finish the word [Explore], the painting was burned to ashes.
Ma Wen carefully walked over and put away a small crystal in the ashes.
These were the plane coordinates that her grandfather had mentioned.
At this moment, a series of clattering sounds came from behind him!
The powerful Ice Angel was finally freed from her petrified state.
She looked angrily at the empty stone platform, and then looked at Ma Wen, "What have you done?"
Ma Wen calmly looked at Daniela and said, "I received the item that my grandfather gave me."
"That is all."
Daniela rushed forward in disbelief and grabbed Ma Wen's wrist.
A cold aura emanated out from her body.
"You really put it on?" Daniela's voice was filled with dismay.
She gnashed her teeth as she looked at Ma Wen. "Why is it you?!"
"My father had clearly told me that it belongs to me."
"It should be mine."
After saying that last sentence, she appeared somewhat absent-minded.
Ma Wen gently patted her shoulder and said, "Don't mind him. Your father might have guessed wrongly."
"No matter what, we are family, aren't we?"
…
The bracelet itself was not a treasure. However, only those from the Creeland family with sufficient qualifications could wear it.
Its effect was to control real treasures.
Once the bracelet was worn, the Creeland family members would not be able to harm him. This was the restriction of the bloodline.
Back then, Ma Wen's grandfather had used this to steal the treasure and escape from the Lavis Duchy unimpeded.
Within the Creeland family, there was a rumor that whoever wore the bracelet would become the King of the North.
Ma Wen's grandfather wore it, but he had no interest in becoming the King of the North. He lived in the South for decades before leaving this world.
Yes, he had indeed left this world and Fernand.
However, this did not mean that he was dead.
Ma Wen remembered that when he was young, his father and Uncle Miller did not seem very sad when they held his grandfather's funeral.
They probably knew that their father had disappeared and not died.
He had left this world. As for where he was now, he did not have the time to say. However, according to Ma Wen's guess, he was most likely in Hell now!
The secret of the Numans, the treasure that the Creeland family had cherished for a long time. Today, Ma Wen finally knew what the hell it was!
It was the head of a Senior Demon Lord!
Even though there were countless ancient seals on it, when his grandfather told this news to Ma Wen, the latter was still quite frightened.
The Senior Demon Lord's head — or its true body — was now lying quietly in the depths of that secret passage.
Thinking of this, Ma Wen did not even dare to sleep in the castle anymore.
His grandfather was really careless. He had actually buried such a time bomb in the White River Valley. Was he not afraid that this bomb would not have a strong caster continuously sealing it, causing its aura to leak and attracting many disasters?
In fact, the disasters that the White River Valley had encountered in the past six months were all caused by this sealed head.
That old man in black was an illusion that the Senior Demon Lord's head had forcibly condensed. He had the knowledge that the Senior Demon Lord had accumulated over millions of years, but he did not have any power.
Speaking of which, he was a pitiful fellow. His head had been chopped off by the original Numans. They had extracted the knowledge and the power of the bloodline from the Senior Demon Lord's head, and they had successfully created the first batch of artificial Bloodline Warlocks. This batch of people were the original Numans.
They were extremely powerful and tyrannical in the multiverse. They were a group of crazy experimenters and scientists. They were passionate about creating artificial bloodlines, and liked to imprison all kinds of powerful creatures and extract their power.
This Senior Demon Lord was one of the unlucky ones.
He had been used by the generations of the Creeland Family. Relying on his unparalleled vitality and the power he absorbed from the Void, he had been able to struggle at death's door.
Too many ancient seals had been placed on that head. Although he had great power, he was unable to use it.
In desperation, he could only try to bewitch people — this was what he was best at.
He tried countless times, and finally succeeded on his last attempt.
He bewitched Ma Wen's grandfather and brought him away from the secret place of the Creeland Family.
However, he failed. Ma Wen's grandfather was the most outstanding genius in the Creeland Family (the language of the younger generation). Although to outsiders, he was only a Level 3 Warlock, in fact, his Warlock rank had already surpassed that of a Warlock. Although it was not stated clearly, Ma Wen guessed that his grandfather was at least Legendary or above.
He saw through the demon's tricks and imprisoned him in a small place like the White River Valley. Then, with his tyrannical power, he put a new seal on that head.
The Senior Demon Lord completely stopped.
However, he did not give up.
Both sides made a bet. This time, the conceited Ma Wen's grandfather lost. He had to fulfill the terms of the bet, and so he was forced to leave Fernand.
He thought that he would be able to return quickly, but he was trapped.
So many years passed quickly.
It was only today, with Daniela's power, that Ma Wen understood the truth of the matter.
Because of the departure of Ma Wen's grandfather, the seal on the Senior Demon Lord's head began to loosen.
Gradually, he was able to form phantoms again. Although it was only a little, it was enough for him to save himself.
He used the identity of the black-clothed old man to bewitch Dosiloya, the King Cobra, Miller, and the Ogre. He did not dare to meet stronger people, because he would be seen through.
He hoped that these people could save him — of course, with lies.
However, Ma Wen's sudden appearance made all of this impossible.
Ma Wen wore the bracelet called [Ancestor's Mystery]. The bracelet's power was activated again, and many of the seals on the Senior Demon Lord's head that had been dormant for a long time were reactivated.
According to his grandfather, he would not be able to form any phantoms for at least half a year.
Of course, he also warned Ma Wen not to touch that head for the time being.
Unless he could pass the test of the Will of Illusion in the secret room with his own power.
That Senior Demon Lord's head was an alchemy item that Ma Wen's grandfather had created to imitate the tricks of the Senior Demon Lord. Only by relying on his own power to resist this kind of spiritual charm would he be able to resist the Senior Demon Lord's bewitchment.
Thus, Ma Wen would not have any ideas about touching the Senior Demon Lord for the time being.
However, he seemed to have found a new direction in leveling up as a Warlock.
No matter what, Ma Wen finally figured out the origins of the strange black-clothed old man, and temporarily resolved this crisis in his territory. Daniela, on the other hand, was extremely depressed.
She had once sworn that she would not return to the Northern Lands until she obtained the Senior Demon Lord's head.
She told Oren to return to the Lavis Duchy and tell her father about it.
Ma Wen could do nothing about it.
With Daniela in his territory, he did not have to worry about her stirring up trouble. After all, the [Ancestor's Mystery] was in his hands, and she would not be so foolish as to touch the Senior Demon Lord's head. She would only be controlled by the cunning demon.
However, what Ma Wen did not expect was that just one day later, he would feel the surprise that Daniela had brought him in the White River Valley!
… …
A day later, in the conference room.
Ma Wen gathered everyone to discuss how to rebuild the White River Valley after the war.
He talked a little about his ideas, but Daniela suddenly stood up.
"I don't have anything to do here anyway."
"Building a country is something that I have been learning since I was young. As your fiancée, if you trust me, leave this matter to me."
Everyone looked at each other, looking at Daniela suspiciously.
Ma Wen hesitated for a moment.
"Tell me your opinion first."
