After leaving the Sea Elf Queen's palace, Ma Wen drifted alone in the cold water.
The Sea Emperor's Crown emitted a faint glow as it controlled the ocean currents.
The water held Marvin comfortably as he swam toward Bass Harbor at a faster pace.
However, he did not know whether to laugh or cry when he thought of the agreement he had just reached with the Sea Elf Queen.
The Sea Elves had always been a major force in the ocean, and the successive Sea Elf Queens had always wanted to unify the Sea Race. The Three Pieces of the Sea Emperor's Set was a shortcut to this goal.
Legend had it that as long as one gathered the Three Pieces of the Sea Emperor's Set, they could unify the ocean.
And the Sea Emperor's Crown was just one of them.
Ma Wen had thought that offering such a precious gift would be enough to show his sincerity.
Unexpectedly, although the Sea Elves yearned for the Sea Emperor's Crown, the Queen herself did not seem to care.
This made Ma Wen's jaw drop.
What made him even more speechless was the agreement they had reached: as long as Ma Wen fought an enemy within the Sea Elves' territory, the Sea Elf Queen would definitely help him.
Of course …
"Sigh, I really have no choice this time. Looks like I can only sell my brother out."
"Ibu, I'm sorry. The Sea Elf Queen is also deeply in love. "
Ma Wen cursed in his heart.
He thought of Ibu's terrified expression when he mentioned the Sea Elf Queen, and his head ached.
How could such a pair of enemies be brought together!?
Ma Wen thought that even a master matchmaker would not be able to do this!
Fortunately, the Sea Elf Queen did not extinguish Ma Wen's hopes.
She only needed Ma Wen to give her three chances to be alone with Ibu.
Three chances. That should not be a problem.
That was how Marvin comforted himself. He would not be doing Ibu a disservice, right?
But thinking of the Sea Elf Queen's confident smile, Ma Wen could not help but shudder.
In his mind, the scene of Ibu being forced by the Queen when the two of them were alone with each other automatically appeared.
Needless to say, with the Sea Elf Queen's strength, she was definitely the one above …
"I just don't know if the Great Elven King will stop him in secret …"
Ma Wen suddenly recalled that the Great Elven King seemed to have been gravely injured after the battle on the Rotten Plateau. This time, if there was a chance, he would go to the Thousand Leaves Forest to take a look.
…
The Sea Emperor's Crown left with Ma Wen, heading straight for Bass Harbor.
Only the Sea Elf Queen and another exquisite girl were left in the Sea Elf Palace.
"Sister, why don't you want his Sea Emperor's Crown?"
"Brother-in-law may be the elf Wu Sheng, but even if the two of you work together, you still can't rule the ocean, right?"
The little girl revealed a puzzled expression.
The Sea Fairy Queen smiled faintly, "The Sea Emperor's Crown is very good, but the Sea Emperor's Crown in his hand has been sealed. It would be extremely difficult to undo this seal. Due to the ancestor's oath, we can't stray too far from this sea region, but he can. The Sea Emperor's Crown is in this human's hands, and he might have a chance to undo the seal one day. It won't be too late to ask him for it then. "
"As for your brother-in-law … This involves the most important secret of the Sea Elves."
"The conditions for the Sea Elf Reincarnation Technique are quite harsh …"
The Sea Fairy Queen smiled faintly, and her chest suddenly blossomed with an azure radiance.
If Ma Wen was present, he would probably recognize the heart-shaped stone hanging from the Sea Fairy Queen's chest at a glance. It was the legendary Sea Emperor's Heart!
The Sea Emperor's Heart, the Sea Emperor's Crown, and the Sea Emperor's Scepter were the three pieces of the Sea Emperor's Set.
…
Bass Harbor was calm in the early morning. More than a dozen cargo ships were anchored at the pier, but the sailors were already actively preparing.
These cargo ships were all heading to the north. Before winter, they could still cross the Great Devil Strait for the last time.
They would stay in the north until April or May next year, when the ice of the Great Devil Strait melted, and then they could return.
So time was tight. The captains were estimating the weather, and the merchants were constantly urging them.
A rather eye-catching ship was anchored at the temporary pier not far away.
Sword Harbor Number One!
No one knew where this ship came from, but it was said that it had docked last night. The people on the ship showed some identification cards, and the officer in charge of the port welcomed them with a smile and allowed them to stay at the temporary pier.
This wasn't the treatment ordinary people received. Only the most popular people in the Alliance could enjoy this kind of treatment. This made the sailors and captains on the other docks speculate.
However, the people on the ship didn't come down, so they couldn't ask.
…
It was already noon when Ma Wen arrived at Bass Harbor. Anna had already arranged all the necessary procedures. This time, the Alliance's approval was surprisingly fast.
Perhaps it had something to do with Hathaway's previous efforts. Even though Hathaway had become an ice sculpture on the Black Coral Island, not many people in the south knew about it.
But in the entire South, not many people knew about this. Even in the Alliance, only a few higher-ups knew.
The officials under them didn't know about it.
With Hathaway's influence still lingering, Ma Wen and his White River Valley naturally received the best treatment.
A temporary route was immediately approved. From then on, Sword Port No. 1 would be able to sail the seas under the banner of the Southern Wizard Alliance.
Ma Wen was very satisfied.
Lola, on the other hand, had already finalized a partnership with a merchant company, and they could start unloading the goods tomorrow.
Aragon was very curious about his life on the sea. He asked for Ma Wen's opinion and decided to stay on the ship for the time being.
Ma Wen naturally couldn't ask for more. Even though there were already two Dark Guardians on the ship, why wouldn't he be happy with the addition of an eighteenth-level Storm Swordsman?
Ever since Aragon came to Fernand, Ma Wen had never stopped observing him.
Previously, when he let Aragon fight on the sea, it was also to test him.
According to Ma Wen's observation, this top genius of the Pousson Plane might be vaguely on the verge of a breakthrough!
He was originally a top genius in the path of a swordsman. At a young age, he had cultivated to the top level of the plane. If it wasn't for the law of the plane, perhaps he would have advanced further.
Now that he had come to Fernand, the restraint of the plane law on him had been broken. It was estimated that he would soon advance further!
Legend, it was only a matter of time.
This was the result of years of accumulation.
…
Ma Wen didn't stay too long in Bass Harbor. After making sure that Sword Harbor Number One was safe, he went to the Adventurers Guild, the Ranger Guild, and other major forces to issue a pearl collection order.
The content of the collection order was very simple. It was a high reward for exotic pearls.
According to Ma Wen's requirements, these pearls must have liquid inside, and the liquid must have extremely tiny creatures swimming in the strange pearls.
That was the cursed pearls he had obtained before!
In his previous life, he had spent a lot of effort to collect each pearl one by one.
There were a total of six pearls, but he didn't know how much time and effort it took.
Although he didn't have that much time in this life, he had the financial resources and prestige!
This was the advantage of being a lord.
This kind of collection mission could be issued directly and let others complete it for you.
Anyway, not many people knew the story behind the [Cursed Pearls].
Ma Wen thought to himself, with his high Legend Level, after the mission was issued, countless people would definitely go crazy to do it.
Even if it wasn't for the high reward, it was good to be able to increase a little friendship with a "legendary figure" like Ma Wen.
Today, everyone in the South could see that the White River Valley was thriving.
Not only was it under the protection of the Tower of Ashes's Hathaway, but River Beach City seemed to have been annexed by the White River Valley, plus a large piece of land in the South.
After a few more years of development, even if Ma Wen wanted to establish a duchy, it would be more than enough!
After the pearl collection order was issued, it immediately caused a big stir in Bass Harbor. Many adventurers in Gem Bay also accepted the mission and began to search for the cursed pearls.
A strange pearl was rewarded with 500 wizard gold coins!
Such a price tag would definitely make all adventurers crazy!
…
As for Ma Wen himself, long before the commotion broke out, he rode a healthy horse that he bought at the last minute and headed towards the Thousand Leaf Forest.
Bass Harbor was not far from the Thousand Leaves Forest. Soon, he passed through the village of humans and half-elves and came to the edge of the Thousand Leaves Forest.
After dismounting, he quickly found the place where he had advanced according to his memory.
The grave of the Night King.
When he advanced to a Night Walker, he was still a Level-5 Ranger.
In the blink of an eye, he returned to this place, and was already a Level-18 great master.
Thinking of this, he suddenly took out the Fate Slate from the origami spell.
Above the Fate Slate fragment, there were seven pale yellow flowers quietly placed there.
Twin Fate Flowers.
The sacred flower of the Shadow Temple in Pesson Plane. When Ma Wen was recuperating, he ordered people to find these flowers, pluck the half filled with chaotic magic, and use the light yellow flowers filled with the power of Order to nourish the Fate Slate.
From the looks of it, the effect was good.
The aura of the Fate Slate had become a little stronger, and it should not be long before Dumbass woke up.
Marvin took a deep breath and put the fragment of the Fate Tablet away.
In the next second, he bypassed the Night King's grave and found a low stone cave.
Pushing away the dust and vegetation outside the cave, a small door was revealed.
Ma Wen took out the key given by the old blacksmith and gently opened the door.
Behind the small door, there was a pitch-black abyss!
It was a strange space.
Slate floated above the abyss, and Ma Wen could not see the end of it.
"Follow the slate, and you will reach the Night King's grave."
"Only there can I get the [Ruler of the Night]'s inheritance."
"… and the [Legendary Path] mission!"
With that in mind, Marvin did not think too much about it and strode straight in.
But he did not expect that when he stepped on the first slate, two seconds later, the slate broke!
Fortunately, Marvin's reflexes were quick, and he quickly jumped to the other stone slab. That was how he managed to escape.
"Oh no, these slates break with just a touch!"
Ma Wen was depressed. The old blacksmith did not even mention these things to him.
He could only grit his teeth, jump faster, and keep moving toward the even darker abyss!
