With Ma Wen's return, everything in the White River Valley seemed to be on the right track.
The whole territory was full of morale because of the victory.
However, there were still many things that Ma Wen needed to do.
For example, an invitation from the distant Duchy of Lavis.
Daniela had stayed in the White River Valley long enough. When Marvin wasn't around, the future Arctic Empress did everything she could to help.
Although she had a strange temper, at least she was reasonable.
Ma Wen was not an insatiable person.
Although Daniela could not return to the north because of her oath, she could go somewhere else.
However, she did not. She chose to help Ma Wen.
Ma Wen would not let her down.
Before the Cataclysm, he had to go to the Duchy of Lavis.
Fortunately, there was a long-distance teleportation formation, so it should not take too much time.
The Mystery of the Ancestors was bound to Ma Wen's soul, and Lavis's people could not remove it. However, Ma Wen could fulfill Daniela's oath and return to the duchy with her with the Mystery of the Ancestors. In this way, she could fulfill her promise and return to her hometown.
Ma Wen did not intend to keep Daniela forever. In the White River Valley, he could only limit her talent.
In the distant north, it was the place where she could display her talent.
Moreover, this time, Grand Duke Lavis personally wrote a letter, which talked about the secret of breaking through the magical Warlock bloodline.
Daniela had been unable to advance to the Legend rank, not because she was not talented enough, but because there was a problem with Lavis's inheritance.
This problem needed the head of the Grand Lord to solve.
And in the process of solving this problem, Ma Wen could also benefit from it.
Because in the final analysis, both were descendants of the Numan people. In fact, if everything Ma Wen's grandfather said was true, then the current Grand Duke Lavis, Ma Wen would have to call him grandfather. In terms of blood relations, Daniela was indeed his cousin.
Although the Warlock circle was very complicated, bloodline was the only thing that was very important.
Only by marrying close relatives could the purity of the bloodline be guaranteed. This was especially true for large clans with legacies. Intermarriage within the clan was the norm.
As for the group of Warlocks in Stony Mountain, they were unorthodox Warlocks who had been expelled. They did not have a complete inheritance.
In short, Ma Wen also understood the power of the Magical Warlock. If he didn't have the profession of Magical Warlock, he would have met with many mishaps along the way.
The potential of this part-time job was limitless. If the people of Lavis really had a way to break the bloodline shackles and improve their magical warlock level, Ma Wen would not mind working with them.
Lastly, Ma Wen wanted to know more about his mysterious "grandfather."
Back then, Ibu was right. If he really became the Devil Lord of Hell one day, who knew what his next step would be.
This feeling was very strange, and Ma Wen also felt very uncomfortable. However, he had to be prepared for all possibilities.
Returning to his grandfather's family was the only way.
…
Apart from the invitation to Lavis, Ma Wen had another plan before the Cataclysm.
However, he needed more legendary warriors to help him with this.
That was to rescue Hathaway.
Unfortunately, there were only two legendary warriors in the White River Valley at the moment, Constantine and Medeline, who were much weaker than the true form of the Dark Phoenix.
Hathaway had sealed herself on the Black Coral Island, which had been tormenting Ma Wen day and night.
He had resisted the urge countless times. As a matter of fact, the moment he became a legendary warrior, he had wanted to kill his way to the Black Coral Island and rescue her by himself.
However, he had resisted the urge.
He didn't feel any palpitations from the bottom of his heart again. Hathaway should be fine. The Dark Phoenix couldn't do anything to her.
Therefore, he had to keep calm and wait patiently.
He had to fight the Black Coral Island, but he had to gather everyone's strength!
In two days, a large number of legendary warriors would arrive in the White River Valley!
By then, Ma Wen's plan could be carried out.
…
On the eve of departing for the Lavis Duchy, Ma Wen personally boarded the Sword Port One with Captain Robert at the helm.
Under the cover of the night, they headed northeast.
After passing through the thick fog and illuminated by the mysterious moonlight, Ma Wen finally arrived at the island again.
The Pearl Island.
Back then, he found a cursed pearl and hijacked the Southern Ship. He came to the Pearl Island to exchange for a treasure — the Sea Emperor's Crown.
That treasure had helped him save Ibu, and at the same time, formed a relationship with the Sea Elves.
Although it was a sealed artifact, it would one day blossom with dazzling brilliance.
Now, Ma Wen came to the Pearl Island again. But this time, he brought the remaining five pearls with him!
That's right. While Ma Wen was away from the fief, Anna and the others had been following Ma Wen's request to collect strange pearls throughout the Gem Bay.
They spent a lot of money and received a total of seventeen pearls that might meet Ma Wen's requirements.
And five of them were the key to breaking the curse of the Pearl Island.
Ma Wen carried the five pearls and went to the island with ease.
After avoiding the terrifying cursed pearls, Ma Wen arrived at the small pool from last time.
He threw the five pearls of different shapes into the pool. Not long after, the pool began to boil.
Not only did the small fish from last time surface, but there was also an otter, a seal, a crab, a frog, and a shell.
Every single one of them stared at Marvin and spoke in the human language.
"I didn't expect someone to be able to break this eternal curse."
"Are you ready to receive the wealth of the previous Pirate Kings?"
Marvin nodded his head slightly.
The six small creatures jumped out of the water. In an instant, they became six people!
They exchanged a few glances with each other, their eyes filled with the emotions of time.
They were all people from thousands of years ago, sealed in the pearls by the curse. Now, someone finally broke the curse.
The Pearl Island also had a new master.
The six of them brought Marvin to a large door in the depths of the cave.
They pressed their palms on a specific position, and in an instant, the door opened!
Intense golden light erupted from inside, as if a powerful energy burst out in an instant!
Ma Wen could feel the entire island begin to tremble.
…
On the calm sea, the people on Sword Port No. 1 looked into the distance with some worry.
Suddenly, the sea began to tremble.
Some of the older sailors were more superstitious, thinking that this was the curse of the Pearl Island beginning to take effect!
They prayed in low voices.
Only a few people who had been following Ma Wen firmly scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, Lord Ma Wen has never done anything without confidence …"
However, before they finished speaking, a strange yellow light enveloped the entire island.
A rumbling sound came from the bottom of the sea, and under everyone's shocked gazes, the entire island sank under the yellow light!
…
The island sank, but Ma Wen was not disturbed by the invasion of the sea.
The faint yellow light prevented the invasion of the sea, and the Pearl Island continued to sink until it reached the bottom of the sea.
The yellow light turned from bright to dark, as if there was a huge bubble wrapped around the Pearl Island, and the people inside could breathe freely.
Ma Wen knew that the Pearl Island after the curse was lifted was actually a seabed refuge.
The six people were the followers of the founder of the Pearl Island. Because they had made different degrees of mistakes, the founder of the Pearl Island, who was said to have another identity as the Great Pirate King of the first Sea God, sealed them, cursed the entire island, and hid his life's wealth here.
Only those who could remove the curse would be able to obtain his gift.
After the island sank to the bottom of the sea, Ma Wen learned from the six people that the things he could obtain from the Pearl Island were not unlimited.
For the first time, he could take away three treasures from the Pearl Island's treasury.
After that, he would have a chance every month, until he took away twelve treasures, which already included the Sea Emperor's Crown.
So strictly speaking, in the next nine months, he could only take eleven items from the Pearl Island's treasury.
But this was only for rare treasures.
Ma Wen could take whatever he wanted from the treasures on the island.
It was just that these things would not be of much use in the days of the Cataclysm.
During the Cataclysm, a ton of gold was not as valuable as a bag of grain.
Only by re-establishing order would these metals have value.
Ma Wen casually took a few treasures and entered the secret room where the treasures were stored.
The three items that he took out were all things that he had planned out long ago.
The first thing was a summoning emblem.
This summoning emblem could summon six earth puppets to work for him. The Cataclysm was coming, and it was time to build defensive fortifications around the White River Valley.
But including River Beach City, the adventurers' camp, and the sand race's village, Ma Wen's territory was actually very large.
Normal craftsmen would not be able to complete such a large amount of work before the Cataclysm.
But the earth puppets could. They naturally had the magic talent to change the terrain. As long as there was an endless supply of Earth Essence, they could work without rest.
Without a doubt, Earth Essence was an alchemy item. Although it was not expensive, it was still a large amount of money.
Luckily, Ma Wen had already ordered everyone to collect this batch. Now that he had the summoning emblem, he should be able to build basic defensive fortifications around the territory before the Cataclysm.
It did not need to be too advanced, just basic would do. As for the rest, Ma Wen had his own arrangements.
…
The second item was a box. There were three scrolls tied in the box.
"Wish, Destruction, Holy, Three Scrolls …"
The three scrolls came from the hands of an unnamed ancient god, but they were extremely effective. The divine power inside was incomparably vast. Even a greater divine power god would not be able to unleash it all at once.
These were true treasures that required divinity to activate. Ma Wen just happened to meet the requirements.
During the Cataclysm, the White River Valley really needed these three scrolls.
As for the last item, Ma Wen chose a seemingly ordinary bottle.
This bottle was called [Bottle of Eternity].
