Ma Wen did not hesitate to ask this question.
He chose to deny it.
Not to mention the fact that he was related to Daniela by blood, the two of them were actually cousins. Although it was common for Warlocks to marry cousins, Marvin, who came from Earth, could not accept such an intermarriage. Secondly, Marvin believed that his relationship with Daniela was not close to that extent. At most, they admired each other. In the beginning, Daniela even looked down on Ma Wen. However, Ma Wen's performance shocked her time and time again.
As for the foundation of love, there was no such thing.
The Grand Duke proposed such a marriage alliance and betrothed Daniela to Ma Wen early on. He naturally had his own plans.
However, Ma Wen could not let him have everything as he wished.
In fact, there was a more important third point.
Ma Wen had kept Daniela in the White River Valley for a long time. She had more powerful talents. He did not want her talents to be buried because of him.
During her time in the White River Valley, her strength did not increase at all.
Although this was related to the characteristics of the Warlock profession, Ma Wen did not want to hold her back.
The future Arctic Empress should not be tied down in the White River Valley.
…
The Grand Duke did not seem surprised by Ma Wen's choice.
He had a certain relationship with the Shadow Thief Owl. It was normal for him to know some inside information.
However, there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
In his opinion, Daniela's bloodline was very outstanding. Although Ma Wen's bloodline was faint, he was the descendant of his younger brother!
When he was ten years old, he was called the man closest to God by the elders.
His descendant would naturally have limitless potential.
However, since Ma Wen was unwilling, Daniela might not be willing to continue being Ma Wen's fiancée. After all, it was an expedient measure to solve the mystery of her ancestor. Now that Ma Wen was willing to cooperate, Daniela did not have to sacrifice herself.
Under such circumstances, the Grand Duke could only choose to give up.
Both sides began to discuss the details of the cooperation.
At this moment, the Shadow Thief Owl left first. After all, this was related to the deepest secret of the Criland Family.
…
In a room with a warm fireplace, Ma Wen placed a blue package on the nanmu tea table.
In that instant, the temperature of the entire space dropped.
"You really did bring him back."
The Grand Duke looked a little excited.
Ma Wen nodded slightly, but he was still cautious.
After becoming the ruler of the night, he entered the sewers of the White River Valley, pushed away the boulder, and found the sealed head of the great devil in a secret room.
After careful examination, Ma Wen found that without the Mystery of the Ancestor, others would not be able to resist the temptation of the Archdevil's head.
Along the way, he was also suffering from the whispers of the Greater Devil's head. He was so annoyed that he was about to die.
When he thought of the possibility that his grandfather had been assimilated by the Grand Lord, his mood worsened.
Sure enough, the Devils were a group of very terrifying creatures. Anyone who dealt with them had to be extremely careful.
"This package and the Mystery of the Ancestor is the final seal. It can't be opened."
Ma Wen reminded the Grand Duke.
The Grand Duke nodded. He took a deep breath, and his eyes immediately regained clarity.
Ma Wen was secretly shocked. The Grand Duke's strength seemed to be beyond his imagination — at least his willpower was very strong!
After all, he did not have the Mystery of the Ancestor, Valisa's Gift, or the Demonic Spirit Armlet to increase his resistance to charm spells.
This old man completely resisted the temptation of the Greater Devil's head with his own willpower.
This willpower proved that the Grand Duke was definitely a top powerhouse — at least he used to be.
"Let's go to the Black Room."
The Grand Duke stood up and gestured for Ma Wen to carry the package. Although he could resist the temptation of the Grand Lord, it was another matter to be in close contact.
Now, only Ma Wen, who was bound to the Mystery of the Ancestor, could suppress Fernand.
"We'll talk about the rest on the way."
…
The so-called Black Room was an ancient laboratory in the depths of the ancient castle that was about to be abandoned.
This laboratory was the origin of the Lavis Duchy!
The original Crowland Family had extracted the power of the Grand Lord here, and thus obtained the legacy of Warlocks.
In this room, there was an ancient alchemy array that could automatically extract the Origin of God from the Grand Lord's head.
That's right, it was the Origin of God!
The original devils, descended from the fall of ancient angels. The ancient angels were different from the Divine Angels of the Celestial Realm. They were powerful existences like the Ancient Elemental Envoys and Ancient Gods.
They were part of the Ancient Gods.
Later, due to some special events, some of the ancient angels turned evil. They created the Nine Layers of Hell and became Grand Lords.
The events of the past could no longer be investigated.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that the bodies of the devils also contained the Origin of God.
However, the majority of the Origin of God was extremely evil.
This was also one of the reasons why Warlocks were considered evil by humans. After all, the Numan Warlocks had inherited the power of the devils.
As for Demon Warlocks, they were the symbol of chaos and evil. Dragon Warlocks were too rare and not very powerful, so they were not representative.
…
The reason why the Lavis Duchy was able to maintain its rule in the North was related to the continuous inheritance of the Numan bloodline.
Almost every patriarch of the Crowland Family was a powerful Legendary Warlock.
However, in this generation, there was a gap in the Crowland Family.
The Origin of God that they had stored for generations had been exhausted. Among the new generation of Warlocks, although there was the brilliant Daniela, without the Origin of God, they could not break through the shackles of the Legendary realm.
Therefore, the Grand Lord's head was very important to them.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but if the Origin of God is about to be exhausted, the Crowland Family should have made preparations many years ago."
Ma Wen was a little puzzled by the Grand Duke's words. "Why does it seem so sudden?"
The Grand Duke's expression was somewhat helpless.
He hesitated for a while before spitting out the final truth to Ma Wen.
In fact, the Crowland Family's Origin of God was enough for the family's genius Warlocks to use for more than ten generations!
Therefore, when Dylos had stolen the Grand Lord's head, the Grand Duke did not care much.
However, a year ago, their treasury was accidentally robbed!
The rest of the items were not missing. Only the God's Origin was completely stolen!
This matter caused a huge commotion within the Crowland Family. Many people even thought that it was the work of a traitor!
The Grand Duke was furious and ordered that the thief must be found.
However, the result was not satisfactory.
A whole year had passed, and the Origin of God seemed to have evaporated into thin air. There was no news at all.
Even though the Grand Duke's magic was extraordinary, he could not find any traces of the thief.
This was why the Lavis Duchy was suddenly in a predicament.
In fact, the person who suffered the most was Turayan.
He had long been a Legendary Warlock. As long as he could use the Origin of God, he could further stimulate the power of his bloodline and become a Legendary Warlock.
However, at this critical moment, the Origin of God was gone.
This gave Daniela the opportunity to catch up.
In short, among the younger generation of Crowland Family, it was more or less the two of them who were competing.
However, the awkward thing was that without the Origin of God, their competition was meaningless.
Therefore, when the news of Ma Wen and the White River Valley came, the Grand Duke knew that he could not hide it any longer, so he took advantage of the situation and gave the order.
He decided to let Daniela retrieve the head of the senior demon and betroth her to Ma Wen. Turalyon, who was even older, could become Ravis's successor.
After all, he was older and more mature. He was experienced and had the bearing of a ruler.
Unfortunately, the plan changed time and time again. Lavis's men did not find trouble with Ma Wen. It was the Grand Duke himself who kept them in check.
Until today, the two sides reached an agreement.
The content of the agreement was very simple. Ma Wen would provide the head of the senior demon and Lavis would provide the [Black Room].
The extracted Origin of God would be divided equally between the two sides.
Ma Wen had no objections to this agreement.
The head of the senior demon could produce three drops of Origin of God every month. Of the three drops in the first month, under the Grand Duke's sincere request, Lavis took two drops.
And today, these two drops of Origin of God would be used.
Because the Grand Duke had decided that today would be the day when Lavis's successor would be decided!
…
In the alchemy laboratory deep in the castle, Ma Wen and the Grand Duke stayed until it was almost tea time.
This was a restricted area of the duchy. Apart from the two of them, no one else could enter.
The Grand Duke alone activated the alchemy array. Ma Wen threw the head of the senior demon into it.
Under the mysterious effect of the ancient array, three drops of Origin of God were forcibly extracted from the deep blue package.
Two of them were carefully kept by the Grand Duke, while the other was given to Ma Wen.
Ma Wen did not have a container to store Origin of God, but in Lavis, he could still take out quite a number of such containers.
He received a small porcelain bottle as a gift from the Grand Duke, which could store about 30 points of Origin of God.
Previously, he did not have a container, so he could only let the Book of Naru devour Origin of God. It was a reckless waste of God's gifts.
"The Book of Naru?"
At the thought of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ma Wen's mind.
"Wait … The stolen Origin of God …"
He suddenly said to the Grand Duke, "I think I may know who stole the Origin of God from the Crimson Treasury!"
The Grand Duke was slightly stunned.
But Ma Wen immediately smiled and said, "I have no evidence at the moment, but I have a rough guess."
"Let's wait until tonight's matters are over. I'm going to rest first. "
After saying this, he bowed to the Grand Duke in a junior's manner and left the Grand Duke's castle.
Tonight was the night when the show would begin.
…
Snowflakes fluttered in the air.
But the flames burned on the snow-capped mountain for a long time.
Today was the Duchy of Lavis's [Winter Rest Day], a festival in itself.
However, compared to the other explosive news that came from the castle this afternoon, the festive atmosphere of the Winter Rest Day seemed insignificant.
[Turalyon and Daniela, the two heirs of Lavis, will hold a promotion ceremony tonight! The person who successfully becomes a Legend will be confirmed as the next master of the Duchy of Lavis!]
