The Book of Naru, even though it was only a thin page, still possessed boundless power.
Soul stripping was just one of the many taboo techniques that was easier to control.
Only, this power was also extremely dangerous.
If he wasn't angered to a certain degree, Ma Wen would rarely take the initiative to use these taboo techniques.
The word 'taboo' represented many things in itself.
The soul stripping ceremony was the Book of Naru, through its powerful willpower and bewitching ability, capturing Rui Wen as its own slave.
Meanwhile, Ma Wen was the master of the sixth page of the Book of Naru, so he naturally became Rui Wen's master.
However, this captivity came with a price. Ma Wen also had to endure a relatively powerful willpower attack.
If Ma Wen couldn't endure this wave of willpower attack, then he himself would also become a slave of the Book of Naru.
Ma Wen had estimated that with his willpower, he could control two slaves at most.
Madeline from before was one, and the second was Rui Wen.
However, the dark elves had long been on Ma Wen's list of slaves.
This race's willpower was naturally weak, and they were easily tempted by desire and ambition. They couldn't even control their bodies' desires. The society of the dark elves was extremely chaotic. Comparatively speaking, using the Book of Naru to control the dark elves was much easier than using it to control other races with strong willpower.
Rui Wen's willpower could be considered strong among the dark elves.
Ma Wen could feel the stabbing pain in his brain from time to time.
This was a sign of overdrafting his spiritual force.
This meant that in the confrontation of willpower, Ma Wen still had to put in quite a bit of effort.
"Originally, using the Book of Naru to control your mind was the worst plan."
"However, you caused Hera's death, and then drew over a small dark elven scout troop, so I could only do this."
Ma Wen silently thought to himself.
…
Hera and him only had an ordinary business relationship. Ma Wen didn't have any special feelings towards her.
However, she was the mother of a child.
In order to let her child live a better life, she had sacrificed too much in silence.
Ma Wen could tell that this lady, who used to be a noble, had worked hard in the dangerous Lion Town for the sake of Whitey's future.
In order to let Ma Wen escape decisively with Bab, in order not to become Rui Wen's bargaining chip, she decisively sacrificed herself.
She didn't even hesitate.
This feeling moved Ma Wen.
Mothers are always willing to do anything for their children.
In fact, Rui Wen didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to regain her freedom.
However, she did not expect that Hera would make such a choice in order to protect the child.
At this moment, how could Ma Wen let Hera's prayers down?
He had to bring Xiao Guai safely to the City of Hope!
Outside the barn, the sound of footsteps became more obvious.
This should be a standard dark elven scout squad.
Under normal circumstances, most of the dark elves should still be attacking Lion Town. For this small team to be able to track them so quickly, it was obviously because of the signal that Rui Wen had released.
"You've caused trouble. Solve it yourself."
Ma Wen said coldly.
He gave Rui Wen a shot of antidote.
The effect of the anesthetic would fade in half a minute.
"Kill them all."
This was Ma Wen's order.
Rui Wen naturally obeyed. She took the knife from Ma Wen, her eyes flashing with the runes of the God of Deceit as she calmly walked out.
…
"Bab …"
"Your mother is already dead. We have to leave here as soon as possible, understand? "
Ma Wen tried to comfort her in a soft voice.
Who knew that at this moment, Bab, who had been silently lying next to his mother's corpse, would actually start to cry.
This was the first time Ma Wen saw him cry.
When the Death Wing Knights had taken him into the sky, this four-year-old boy didn't even cry.
But now, he was crying his heart out.
The way he cried was very strange. His voice was very low, but his aura was very strong, as if he was some kind of terrifying monster!
What made Ma Wen even more surprised was that Bab's tears actually had a tinge of green!
"Is it because it's too dark? Am I seeing things?"
Ma Wen rubbed his eyes.
But in the next second, he was dumbfounded!
Following Bab's cries, his body began to slowly expand.
His original clothes were no longer enough.
They were being torn apart by the constantly growing bones!
In the blink of an eye, he had turned from a four-year-old child into a teenager!
His face was still young, but his body had already begun to grow.
In just a few short seconds.
This was too exaggerated!
If it wasn't for the fact that Ma Wen couldn't feel any traces of the Transfiguration Spell from his body, he would definitely think that it was the result of some spell.
But there was no arcane energy, no signs of any spell!
It was a pure natural feeling.
"This is … the power of the bloodline?"
Ma Wen felt that something was wrong.
Just then, Bab wiped away his tears.
His expression had regained its calm and tranquil look.
"When I was very young, my mom always told me, 'Bab, you can't cry.'
"In fact, not only can I not cry, but I also can't laugh.
"Some things don't need to be learned. I feel like I have a lot of knowledge in my head …"
"Lord Robbin, let's go."
He stood up slowly. His eyes were filled with sadness, but they were extremely determined.
Such a young child could control his emotions so well?
Ma Wen looked at Bab, who suddenly changed. He felt that this face was very familiar!
"Wait … Isn't this the most famous [Wind Knight] Aubenson after the Cataclysm?!"
Marvin came to a sudden realization.
He vaguely remembered that Wind Knight Aubenson's last name was Hera.
…
Wind Knight Aubenson.
In the game in his previous life, there was another legendary powerhouse apart from the three sisters of Stony Mountain.
This powerhouse was most famous for not defending the City of Hope multiple times, nor for his outstanding achievements in battle.
It was not that he was able to fight a god's avatar without losing.
Instead, it was his face that had always been unsmiling.
Aubenson was actually quite handsome, but for some reason, he never smiled, and no one had ever seen him cry.
Later on, a super expert completed a hidden mission on the Wind Knight, and the truth was revealed.
Aubenson's bloodline was very special.
He was the descendant of a lord of a territory in the north. That lord was also a descendant of a mysterious race similar to the Harmon Tribe. They had a curse that was only passed down among the male members.
That was, they could not have any emotional fluctuations.
They could not cry, and they could not laugh.
Regardless of whether they cried or laughed, it was equivalent to ten years of time passing on their bodies!
This was a very terrifying curse. This meant that the male members of this family could never have any emotions.
Bab had been trained by Hera to control his emotions since young. Before this, he had never lost control.
However, in the face of his mother's death, he finally lost control.
He cried once, and time took away ten years of his life. His body grew crazily, and his mind, along with the power of his bloodline, instantly rose to the level of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old.
In other words, Bab's actual age was similar to that of Ma Wen.
This was a very strange experience. Those who had never experienced it would definitely not be able to describe it.
However, Wind Knight Aubenson was not a man of many words.
Other than that, this curse gave them great power — they could control the wind, and befriend any creature related to the wind.
For example, the [Wind-Riding Colt] that grew on the Roland Highlands, and the wind element.
The name Wind Knight originated from this.
In his previous life, Ma Wen was not very familiar with the Wind Knight. He only knew some of his background: His mother died at the hands of the underground monsters, and he had a relationship. However, that girl made him laugh once, and made him cry once, and he lost 20 years of his life.
The men of this family usually did not live past 50 years old.
…
"Looks like even without my intervention, Hera would have died at the hands of the underground monsters."
"As for Bab, he survived."
The information flashed through Ma Wen's mind like lightning.
He got up and lightly patted Bab's shoulder: "Let's go."
In the next second, he took out the paper crane and put Hera's body inside.
This action caused Bab to reveal a surprised expression, but it still trusted Ma Wen a lot.
After all, this Uncle Robin had taken a huge risk to save him from the hands of the Death Wing Knights.
He was also someone that his mother entrusted to him.
He should be trustworthy.
The two of them walked lightly to the back door of the barn.
The sounds of killing outside were already coming to an end.
Ma Wen lightly pushed open the door, and the Death Wing Knights in the sky were already nowhere to be seen — they were probably tired from flying and returned to Lion Town to gather their forces.
And more underground monsters should have already completed the blockade between the City of Hope and Lion Town.
Rui Wen panted heavily, and blood flowed from her blades.
Under her feet, there were six Dark Elf corpses lying everywhere.
The strength of an elite captain was indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, these Dark Elves probably didn't expect that the candidate for the next matriarch would suddenly sneak attack her own confidant!
"Master, I have completed your order."
A hint of flattery flashed in her eyes.
But her body was a little stiff.
Ma Wen frowned slightly.
At that moment, he felt a stabbing pain in his brain again.
Obviously, Rui Wen was still resisting. But the power of the Book of Naru was too strong and forcefully suppressed her.
No matter what, Ma Wen still succeeded in controlling her.
Next, he gave her an order to wander around the City of Hope alone.
For Rui Wen, breaking through the blockade was too easy.
When Ma Wen needed her, he would naturally summon her through the Book of Naru.
Rui Wen left.
Ma Wen took Bab and continued to break through the blockade in the direction of the City of Hope.
The only pity was that the paper crane couldn't be used to carry a living person, or else breaking through would really be no pressure for Ma Wen.
Ahead, a dense group of monsters vaguely appeared.
Ma Wen took Bab and tried to go around from the side.
