Above the tall tower outside River Beach City, on the huge ultra-long-distance teleportation array, the wind was howling.
(Because of the Internet cleansing operation, the following plot had to be directly cut. The plot can be summarized as follows: Medeline, under the control of the Book of Naru, tried to control Ma Wen. Ma Wen almost fell into the trap, but he woke up under the imprint that Hathaway had previously cast. There was originally a large plot here, but it has been cleansed. Please forgive me, everyone. Just skip over a large section of ellipsis. My sincere apologies.)

Had he overestimated his own willpower?
After taking in Medeline, Ma Wen was already taking a risk out of desperation; Rui Wen was the real trigger.
Using a page of the Book of Naru to control two people, this increased the chances of the Book of Naru and Ma Wen coming into contact.
With this magical connection, the Book of Naru tried to erode Ma Wen's heart.
This time, he almost succeeded.
What about the next time?
Ma Wen bit his lip.
It seemed that Valisa's gift was not enough. His own willpower could not be improved in a short time, so he could only think of a way to get that thing.
…
Ma Wen sobered up for a while in the room. After making sure that Medeline would not harass him, he slept on her bed.
He really needed a good rest.
The next morning, he found the aggrieved Medeline again and asked her to send him to the White River Valley.
Returning to the White River Valley, everyone was naturally overjoyed.
Whether it was Anna, Vigny, or the guards, they were all very happy that their lord had returned safely.
The only one who mocked Ma Wen was his fiancée, who was extremely dissatisfied with Ma Wen's absent-mindedness.
"I heard that someone tore apart a Black Dragon with his bare hands happened in Stony Mountain? The three sisters are all as beautiful as flowers. I guess Lord Robin has fallen into a dilemma? "
Ma Wen smiled awkwardly.
Daniela was born in the Cleveland family, so it was normal for her to have her own intelligence network. Others might not be able to guess that he was Robin, but she would definitely be able to.
However, she was just mocking Ma Wen. During the days when Ma Wen was not around, she was still very concerned about the construction of the White River Valley.
In terms of construction, Daniela was indeed a genius!
…
When Ma Wen returned to the White River Valley, he almost couldn't recognize it.
The entire territory had undergone a large-scale renovation. With the incentive of gold, everything was operating at high speed.
The port city at the mouth of the White River had already completed the construction of the outer city walls. Although the inside was still empty, the construction period was already very short. This was also thanks to the White River Valley being sunny most of the time.
The original castle had undergone some minor renovations, making it even more sturdy.
The farmlands were reorganized, and Daniela changed the location of the market. She also opened a few small roads leading to the countryside, making transportation more convenient.
To the south of the White River, the adventurers' camp had already been completed.
It had already become a lively town, with at least five hundred low-level adventurers wandering around.
They hunted magical beasts in the wilderness, and Daniela sent people to purchase them at a suitable price.
These raw materials would all be sent to the newly built warehouse next to the abandoned dock in the White River Valley.
The abandoned dock had long since been repaired. When Ma Wen returned, an inland river boat had just set sail.
It would go against the current and arrive at River Beach City. Then, it would join the caravans there and head inland.
Since Madeline was already Ma Wen's woman, the entire Riverbank City was under her control.
Although the White River Valley and Riverbank City were still two territories in name, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two territories had already merged into one.
A few days ago, the two had issued a unified tax decree as proof.
With the foundation and channels of Riverbank City, the White River Valley had developed rapidly.
Although the gold was also being spent quickly, Ma Wen was very satisfied with this. In his opinion, the borrowed money had to be spent completely. If it wasn't spent, then it would be a waste of the loan.
Only by running a large budget deficit and frantically building could they build a true refuge before the Cataclysm.
At the very least, they had to be self-sufficient.
In terms of agriculture, because of Ma Wen's urging, Daniela didn't forget to develop it. At least the new season's wheat harvest was quite good.
The garrison had expanded once again. Thanks to the instructor's training, many members of the garrison had successfully advanced to the next rank.
Currently, the White River Valley's garrison had expanded to seventy people, and there were thirty more in reserve.
Among these seventy people, the original twenty guards had all advanced to the second grade. Their battle prowess was slightly higher than that of ordinary Grade 2 professionals because of the Nurturing Tanks.
The Necromancer Federer was very happy here. He had always been a chatterbox, and many people in the White River Valley were happy to talk to him. Although he often dealt with corpses, he had recently discovered his talent in medicine — perhaps it was because the Necromancer was naturally sensitive to the human body? In short, he had recently become a doctor and cured many of the residents in the territory.
Therefore, this guy's reputation in the valley was quite good.
The opposite of him was another guy.
The Nameless Alchemist.
Because of his strong request, Ma Wen had initially approved the establishment of a laboratory for him. However, his alchemy experiments not only burned money, but also always caused problems. He had never produced a decent product, and Daniela kept reducing the budget.
This guy was also very vengeful and constantly caused trouble for her.
All kinds of pranks came one after another. In addition, everyone in the White River Valley knew of his love for Anna, so no one inside or outside the castle treated him well.
Daniela would have sent someone to get rid of him long ago if his pranks hadn't been so gracious.
…
Seeing that the territory was running smoothly, Ma Wen felt a lot more at ease.
Speaking of which, he could be considered lucky. In terms of business, he had Laura, in terms of internal affairs, Anna, in terms of construction, and in terms of military power, the White River Valley with nineteen Dark Warriors was undoubtedly very safe.
During the time he was away, the Dark Warriors' strength had also recovered.
Their strength had reached the early stage of the fourth grade.
Nineteen Dark Warriors at the fourth grade was a very terrifying concept!
Even if they hadn't reached the quasi-Legendary-level strength, it was already very heaven-defying.
Every single one of them had the ability to carve out a bloody path in the army alone.
If they worked together, even the most powerful cavalry wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand!
They ensured the safety of the White River Valley.
"It seems that I'm indeed redundant as a lord."
Ma Wen laughed at himself.
Not only did Ma Wen become "redundant", but in fact, Daniela's arrival also freed Vigny.
He was still young, after all. Under Hathaway's guidance, he began to get rid of the Universe Magic Pool and study a unique path of magic.
When Ma Wen returned, he had just successfully written a rune for Secondary Fireball.
This meant that he could already cast spells independently from the Universe Magic Pool. This was the sign of a Legendary!
But his strength was actually only at the first grade.
It had to be said that Heaven Awakeners were a group of talented fellows.
Ma Wen knew that this new type of sorcerer would rise after the Cataclysm, but it was very gratifying that Vigny could reach this step in advance.
He originally wanted to use this opportunity to communicate with Vigny more.
However, not long after, another piece of important news came from Anna's side.
Constantine had returned.
He also brought a group of sand clansmen … and the treasure of the red dragon!
