The Bottle of Eternity was a legendary item. If it was in the hands of a powerful legendary wizard, it would be able to exert a terrifying effect.
As far as Ma Wen knew, this item had at least the following two functions:
First, it could absorb chaotic magic. As long as the incantation was mastered, the Bottle of Eternity could absorb a huge amount of chaotic magic.
Second, it could replenish chaotic magic in real time. A legendary wizard with the Bottle of Eternity was equivalent to having a super mana pool to replenish himself.
It had to be known that many large-scale legendary spells consumed a lot of magic, and the burden on legendary wizards to cast spells was very heavy. Without the assistance of special props, it was easy to cause their own will to collapse.
For legendary wizards, the Bottle of Eternity was no less important than the divine artifact Dusk for the Shadow Prince.
Although Ma Wen himself was not legendary, he had legendary wizards by his side.
Not to mention Hathaway and Medeline, even Vigny, as an Awakened, had now entered the peak of grade 3.
When Ma Wen left the White River Valley, Vigny had to devote part of his energy to the management of the valley. Even so, his progress was still rapid. Moreover, the path he took was the path of the ancient wizards. He did not use the Universal Mana Pool to cast spells, so he would not be affected by the cataclysm.
Ma Wen believed that, in time, Vigny could also grow into a powerful legendary wizard.
The Bottle of Eternity would not have to worry about not being useful.
…
After getting what he wanted, Ma Wen did not stay on Pearl Island.
After Ma Wen unlocked the seal for them, the six servants were all grateful to Ma Wen. The six of them would always live in the sanctuary.
They no longer had much contact with the outside world. In addition, they still shouldered the mission of guarding the treasure of Pearl Island, so they would not leave easily.
Ma Wen could visit Pearl Island at any time, but he could only continue to take treasures when the time was right.
With the Sea Emperor's Crown, he swam freely in the sea and quickly returned to Sword Port 1.
When the people on the ship saw that Ma Wen was safe and sound, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Other than Robert and the others who had a "this is how it should be" look, everyone else looked at Ma Wen with awe.
Although he still looked like a fifteen-year-old boy, the aura he exuded was enough to subdue many lower-class people.
This was the power of power, status, and fame.
Ma Wen didn't care much about what others thought of him. He just needed to do what he wanted to do.
After returning to the White River Valley with the treasures, Ma Wen gave the summoning emblem to Vigny and Anna.
He also taught him how to use the Earth Puppet.
Vigny was a wizard herself, so she was quite experienced in commanding summoned creatures.
As for the construction blueprints of the fortifications and city walls around the White River Valley, Daniela had already designed them. All they needed to do was to order the Earth Puppets to construct according to the blueprints.
After everything was done, Marvin finally pulled himself out of the room.
After resting for half the night, he left the White River Valley with Daniela the next morning.
In Madeline's Magus Tower, they activated the ultra-long distance teleportation circle. The coordinates of the Lavis Duchy had long been pointed out to them from afar.
Daniela stepped onto the teleportation circle excitedly, while Ma Wen smiled and walked into the circle.
In the next second, an intense light flashed, and the world spun!
…
When he opened his eyes again, the biting cold wind came from afar, and he was surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness.
They stood on top of an extremely high mountain. Below the snowy mountain was a bustling city.
Bright flames danced on braziers everywhere. In the vast snowy plains, only this city built around the mountain shone brightly.
In the distance, there were only a few scattered flames.
The snow was boundless, and not long after the two stood on the teleportation circle, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on their bodies.
"Welcome to the north."
A deep voice sounded behind Ma Wen.
Ma Wen turned around. It was a man in his thirties. His face was very handsome, and his beard was quite neatly trimmed.
He wore a thick fur coat rarely seen in the south, and there was a thin longsword at his waist.
"Welcome to Lavis. Viscount Ma Wen … "
The man smiled and said, "Perhaps I'm being too polite. According to seniority, we are cousins."
"You can call me Turayan."
Ma Wen nodded slightly. Although this man had a smile on his face and looked very honest, Ma Wen always felt that he had ulterior motives. His eyes were a little shaky, and there was a faint trace of jealousy or greed.
After entering the legendary realm, Ma Wen's perception had also become a lot sharper.
As expected, Daniela did not seem to have a good impression of this Turayan. Instead, she frowned and said, "Why are you the one to welcome me? Where is my brother? "
Turayan said lightly, "Dear Daniela, I am also your brother."
Daniela chuckled. "My brother wouldn't poison the tea I drank when I was young."
Turayan's expression did not change, "That was because an outsider tried to destroy our sibling relationship. See, after so many years, you are still misled. You still do not want to believe that I was wronged, even if you have no evidence. "
Daniela stepped forward and stared coldly at Turayan, "Some things do not need any evidence."
Turayan sighed and turned his eyes to Ma Wen, "I am sorry. Although I want to take care of you, today the duke sent me here mainly to meet Mr. Ma Wen. As for you, my poor sister, if not for Ma Wen's kindness, would you be standing on the land of the north today?"
Daniela was furious, but Ma Wen gently pulled her back.
He looked at Turayan and said with a smile, "Let's go first. I am a southerner, I cannot adapt to the cold of the north."
Turayan immediately put on a welcoming expression, "Of course, please get in the carriage. We have made many preparations for you."
"I believe you will love this place. After all, this … is your home."
…
The warm carriage jolted continuously downwards.
Daniela sat beside the carriage and lifted the curtain to look at the familiar streets, her face expressionless.
Turayan, on the other hand, pulled Ma Wen aside with great enthusiasm and introduced him to the many special features of Fairhalla, the capital of Ravis.
It had to be said that Turayan was an excellent tour guide.
Ma Wen naturally welcomed him with a smile.
Through the brief contact between the two, with Ma Wen's thinking, it was not difficult for him to discover the dirty relationship between the two cousins.
Turayan and Daniela were the two people in the Duchy of Ravis who had the most hope of inheriting the power of the Grand Duke. Turayan was talented, older and more stable.
Daniela's bloodline was more outstanding, which made it difficult for the Grand Duke to choose.
From Daniela's words and expression, Ma Wen could tell that his' fiancée 'had been persecuted by Turayan a lot when she was young.
However, this little girl was not easy to deal with, otherwise she would not have lived to this day.
It was said that when Daniela set off for the White River Valley that day, she did not make any vows.
However, she was provoked by Turayan's words and swore that she would not return to the north if she did not bring back the mystery of her ancestor.
What happened next naturally made Turaian grin from ear to ear.
He was very satisfied with Ma Wen's performance. He almost kept Daniela in the south for a full three months.
And in this period of time, it was enough for him to do a lot of things.
Daniela's direct descendants in Fairhalla were either cut off, alienated, or divided.
During this period of time, Turayan fully displayed his political skills.
As the Grand Duke was old and seemed to be dying soon, and his sons were all mediocre, the voice of Turayan taking over the power of Ravis grew louder and louder.
As for the once popular Daniela, she seemed to have been forgotten by the people of the capital.
She had almost become a joke.
As a princess of a duchy, she had no choice but to lower herself to marry a small southern country lord. It was said that she had suffered a loss there, and that the little lord had obtained the mystery of her ancestor first, so she could not return to the north.
Ravis was a very cruel country.
In this cold world, there was no need for warmth, only strength.
In the eyes of most people, Daniela had failed, and the winner, Turayan, had taken everything.
From the fact that the Grand Duke had delegated more and more power to Turayan, it seemed to explain a lot.
...
This time, when Ma Wen was invited to Ravis, it was also Turayan who personally arranged everything.
He was very proud of this, and completely ignored Daniela.
He even enthusiastically wooed Ma Wen in front of Daniela, promising all kinds of benefits.
Because he knew that the lifeline of the Royal Family of Ravis was locked on Ma Wen's wrist.
Only by obtaining the head of the Grand Duke again, could Ravis's Numan bloodline continue.
And as a person who often served the Grand Duke, he also received this news:
Whoever could solve this problem would be the next master of Ravis.
And Ma Wen, obviously, was the key to solving this problem.
He did not care about the relationship between Daniela and Ma Wen. He believed that this lord must have some ambition to be able to make a name for himself in the south.
As for this woman, Ma Wen would presumably leave her in the White River Valley.
This was exactly the situation that Turayan wanted to see the most.
...
In the warm carriage, apart from Daniela, who had a cold expression on her face, Marvin and Turalyon seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Ma Wen also gave a lot of praise to Turayan, but he pretended not to see some of the agreements that Turayan hinted at.
The carriage arrived at the Grand Duke's castle, and because of Ma Wen's special status, they were allowed to go all the way.
Finally, the three of them got off the carriage, walked through the snow-covered square, and finally arrived at a hall.
"This is the reception room. Grandpa should be resting now. I'll invite him over. "
Turalyan politely excused himself.
In the reception room, there were only two people, Ma Wen and Daniela.
It was said that the Grand Duke did not like servants, so there were only a few living people in such a huge castle.
The bonfire in the fireplace burned brightly, and Daniela's complexion gradually improved.
Her eyes stared at Ma Wen, as if there were a lot of things she wanted to say, but in the end, she kept quiet.
Ma Wen found it funny. He naturally knew what Daniela wanted to ask, but since she did not ask, he did not say anything.
It was good to tease her.
The two of them were silent for a while, and after a long time, an old voice sounded.
"You're finally back, my darling."
Daniela jumped up from the sofa in surprise and threw herself at the person.
Turayan's expression was very ugly. He had been jealous of Daniela's privileges since young.
In the entire kingdom, only this little princess could have such treatment, disregarding the Grand Duke's status and power, and throw herself into his arms.
Ma Wen sized up the Grand Duke curiously.
This supreme ruler of Lavis Duchy was not quite the same as he had imagined.
He looked old, and although there was a powerful force in his body, it seemed to be weakening day by day.
He was his grandfather's blood brother, but based on the age of his grandfather and brother, he should not look so old.
After all, according to Daniela, the Grand Duke's strength was unfathomable, and he was a legendary warlock.
A legendary warlock's lifespan was generally much longer than an ordinary person's.
However, it was hard to say for warlocks, as many spells came at the cost of one's life.
...
The Grand Duke looked like a benevolent old man. After chatting with Daniela for a while, he did something unexpected.
He asked Daniela and Turayan to leave, and said that he wanted to talk to Ma Wen alone.
This made Turayan very unhappy, but when he remembered that Daniela did not seem to have the right to listen in, his expression became better.
After Daniela left reluctantly, only Ma Wen and the kind old man were left in the hall.
This Grand Duke's appearance matched the definition of the word "grandfather" in Ma Wen's heart.
Previously, whether it was in the painting or the young man in the Ninth Floor of Hell, both made Ma Wen feel strange.
It was as if time did not take anything away from his grandfather.
"Ma Wen, let's talk."
The Grand Duke looked very kind. "Tell me, is my brother Diroth doing well?"
Ma Wen took a deep breath and looked straight at the Grand Duke. "It seems that you know a lot."
The Grand Duke revealed a tired smile.
"Oh, of course, of course …"
"We are twins, me and Diroth … so we have a lot of special things in common. Can you imagine that we were born with the ability to communicate with each other's minds? "
Ma Wen was slightly stunned. "The Soul Twin Contract?"
"Something like that, but it's a natural psionic ability," the Grand Duke said indifferently. "But a few years ago, this feeling disappeared."
"I guess he should be dead."
Ma Wen shook his head. "He just left this world."
"No."
The Grand Duke's gaze was deep. "No matter where he goes, in any corner of this multiverse, I can sense him."
"This is our tacit understanding."
"But after that, he really disappeared."
"Don't be in a hurry to deny my conclusion. Did I see something unusual in your eyes? You seem to have recently come into contact with … someone very much like him? "
"I know what you want to say, but what if I tell you that the name of the Devil Lord that was sealed by our family for who knows how many years is also Diroth?"
Ma Wen felt his body turn cold, and his thoughts fell into chaos!
