As a matter of fact, Ma Wen had no intention of letting the first servant of the God of Dreams off the hook ever since he discovered signs of Annabella's activities.
His attitude toward the deities was very clear. Perhaps it was because he was on the same side in his previous life, or perhaps he was dissatisfied with their decision to attack the Demon Pool of the Universe. In short, it was unlikely that he would work with the deities in the near future.
Moreover, the perception points provided by the God's Servant were what Ma Wen needed the most.
Now that he had reached the legendary rank, and with his skills as the Master of the Night, he was at least a hero in Fernand, even if he was not invincible. But he was still not strong enough in front of a true deity.
Therefore, he still needed to improve himself quickly.
Hunting the God's Servant was a shortcut!
Therefore, when he was close enough to Annabella, he attacked without hesitation!
The green leaf mercilessly chopped off Annabella's head with lightning speed.
However, the next second, Ma Wen's expression darkened.
He finally realized what was wrong.
There was no information on the data panel that the God's Servant had been killed!
At the same time, Annabella's figure suddenly drifted away.
"It's just a [Folding Image]!"
Marvin's expression turned a little ugly.
He had not thought of this.
Had Annabella's strength already reached such a level?
No wonder she was not nervous even though she was on guard when she was so close to him.
After all, he was the man who had killed the Dark Phoenix. She had been too arrogant.
At the time, Ma Wen had thought that it was an opportunity, but he had been fooled.
"No wonder she doesn't exist in my perception."
Ma Wen smiled bitterly.
[Folding Image] was similar to the [Projection] of the deities. They both used special crystallized objects to project one's body into another world or plane.
The difference was that projection used the crystal barrier between planes, while [Folding Image] used the power of one's own cultivation. Of course, it could also be due to the effects of some treasures.
Unlike the clone, the loss of [Folding Image] did not affect the real body.
"It seems like she doesn't just appear around Steel City. She did come to negotiate with me."
"This is a huge loss. The next time we meet, it will be much more difficult to kill her."
Marvin looked at Senma's body on the ground and shook his head.
Before the arrival of the gods, Annabella would undoubtedly be a huge problem.
He didn't know where her real body was, but since she had already entered Fernand, she would definitely pull in a force.
The Scorpions of Dream had failed due to Ma Wen's obstruction, so she would definitely look for another faction.
No matter what, in this long war between the gods and mortals, and even the gods themselves, the God of Dreams seemed to have taken the lead.
Ma Wen could not confirm Annabella's location, so he could only shake his head and leave.
…
Far North Glacier.
Beneath the gigantic crevice was eternal darkness.
A woman dressed in green had her eyes tightly closed.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
A ray of light appeared in the darkness, as if someone had opened a door.
Behind the door, a bloody head was thrown in.
It was the head of a barbarian, and there was a trace of anger on his face.
He died with his eyes open.
Behind the door of light, a woman with a graceful figure quietly walked over. "I brought you a gift."
"It looks like you're having a bad time here. At least it's a little worse than the last time I saw you."
If Ma Wen was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the woman who spoke at a glance. It was the first divine servant of the God of Dreams, Annabella.
Her original body was here.
The green-clothed woman who opened her eyes in the darkness was obviously the Sky Green Patriarch.
"If you're being watched by the Northern Guardian day and night, and you've even fought a mad lunatic, you won't be any better off."
The Sky Green Patriarch's reaction was very cold. "You killed that barbarian tribe?"
Annabella said indifferently, "They didn't accept divine grace and didn't listen to teachings. I had no choice but to purify them."
"Very good."
The Sky Green Patriarch said indifferently, "What do you want?"
Annabella smiled faintly. "A person's information."
The Sky Green Patriarch frowned. "Looks like someone has stumped you."
Annabella actually nodded and sighed, "The world has changed."
"I vaguely feel that the current Fernand is different from the prophecy."
"Even the most ordinary farmer will pick up a hoe and resist. Is this the weakest human I know?"
The Sky Green Patriarch sneered, "Whether it's cowardly or strong, it doesn't matter. Because they will be destroyed in the end. "
"Speaking of which, what's the difference between you gods and humans? If humans are parasites of this plane, then you gods … are just bigger blood-sucking leeches."
There was a hint of provocation in her tone.
Annabella didn't mind.
The positions of the Twin Serpents of Annihilation and the gods of the Heavenly Realm were naturally contradictory, and she didn't expect herself to be able to talk to the Sky Green Patriarch.
She only needed one person's information.
Although the Twin Serpent Sect had been destroyed, there were still flames burning underground.
She had just arrived, so she still needed more accurate information.
"Speak, who do you want information about? The Great Druid? The Dragon Clan? Or the monastery in the Dead Continent? "
The Sky Green Patriarch asked.
Annabella shook her head and said sternly:
"Ma Wen."
The Sky Green Patriarch instantly fell silent.
The next second, she gritted her teeth.
"You've earned a lot."
"I don't accept payment for information about Ma Wen."
…
After leaving the forest where Annabella was, Ma Wen still went to the place where the bandits gathered.
These people were always a group of scourges.
They had done all kinds of evil before the Cataclysm, and now they were even more fearless.
Although their leader was already dead, there would always be someone who would stand up and gather them together to continue doing evil.
Although Ma Wen wasn't the kind of great hero who claimed to be righteous to the end, he was still very willing to help.
It took him three minutes to clean up this group of defenseless bandits.
After a third of that, he left the land of rivers of blood and returned to the Morrigan's Heart.
The people of the Morrigan's Heart were clearly uneasy about Ma Wen's return.
Ma Wen was somewhat surprised.
But he quickly realized that they didn't seem willing to leave this place.
Captain Ali stammered out the result of their discussion.
The majority of them were natives of the City of Steel, the families of the soldiers who had died.
They had too much affection for this place.
Now that the threat of the bandits had disappeared, they were unwilling to migrate.
But they were afraid of offending a peerless expert like Ma Wen, so they tried to be as tactful as possible.
Moreover, Ali's words carried a hint of 'if you insist on letting us go, we can only leave our homes and not resist'.
After all, they were powerless to resist.
Ma Wen muttered to himself. The people of the Morrigan's Heart had indeed chosen to stay had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
It seemed that their affection for their home was greater than their fear of disaster.
But it was clearly impossible to rely on such a group of people to guard such a treasure trove.
Thus, Ma Wen took the opportunity to propose another proposal.
The people of the Morrigan's Heart could choose not to migrate to the White River Valley, and the White River Valley could also send a certain number of troops to protect this place.
The price was that the White River Valley would have to obtain some food and weapons from the Morrigan's Heart.
Ma Wen's proposal allowed Ali to breathe a sigh of relief.
The White River Valley had a good reputation, and they did indeed need a defensive force.
After some thought, he accepted Ma Wen's proposal.
What followed was a discussion of the details.
Ma Wen planned to develop the Morrigan's Heart into an outpost of the White River Valley in the central region. He could tell that these soldiers and residents didn't have much ambition.
They just couldn't bear to part with their home.
He could still help them achieve this goal.
For the sake of the credibility of the cooperation, both sides had to sign a cooperation agreement.
Ma Wen didn't personally ask about the specifics. If he had to be responsible for this kind of thing, he wouldn't be able to do much in a day.
He used the Book of Naru to contact Madeline and had her bring Lorry and two Dark Guardians to the Morrigan's Heart. It was better to let someone else handle the specifics of the agreement.
After everything was settled, Ali Xi wanted to show his sincerity by dragging Ma Wen to the Grade 2 treasury, but Ma Wen still decided to leave as soon as possible.
The Morrigan's Heart was a huge treasure trove, and Ali Xi and the others had only opened the Grade 1 treasury.
There were at least three more in the depths of the treasury. These treasuries all required a special key from the Southern Magus Alliance, and Ma Wen knew that without the key, there was no point in trying his luck.
Moreover, the treasury wouldn't run away. As long as he occupied this place, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
More importantly, he had already stayed in Steel City for too long. In the northern forest, there was still a friend under house arrest waiting for his rescue. He couldn't delay for too long.
He left the sewers and returned to the previous location.
In the end, Ma Wen was stunned to find that Butterfly, who had promised to wait for him here, had disappeared!
"Damn it!"
"Is there a need to be so unreliable?"
Ma Wen couldn't help but scratch his head.
There were no monsters nearby, and there were no signs of a fight. Butterfly had the Golden-feathered Griffin to protect her, so it was impossible for anything to happen to her!
In that case, the only reasonable explanation was that the mysterious messenger had stood him up …
To be honest, wood elves were a group of people who obeyed the rules, and people like Ibu could be considered to be the weirdest of the weirdest.
It was obvious that the messenger lady was not an ordinary elf.
At the very least, she could leave Ma Wen alone and leave by herself.
…
Ma Wen looked around for a while, but the more he looked, the more depressed he became.
Out of courtesy, he didn't encounter Butterfly along the way, so he couldn't use the darkness to track her.
The Golden-feathered Griffin had a special constitution, and Ma Wen had never thought of plucking a single hair from it.
He didn't expect to lose track of her just like that.
"Could she have been kidnapped?"
Ma Wen began to suspect.
Although there were no signs of a fight, he couldn't rule out the possibility.
Thus, he had no choice but to expand his search range.
Five minutes later, under a tree, he finally found some clues.
It was a piece of bread crumb!
"The fruit of a breadfruit tree?"
Ma Wen pondered.
In the land of the wood elves, there was indeed a kind of breadfruit tree, but it wasn't used as food, but as a marker.
Only the wood elves and their allies could see the bread crumbs scattered in the trees.
Ma Wen was a nightwalker and had a pass to the Thousand Leaf Forest, so he could naturally see the bread crumbs.
"In other words, she left on her own accord?"
Ma Wen's heart stirred.
It seemed that something had happened to Butterfly.
Without hesitation, he immediately followed the bread crumbs and headed north of Steel City.
It had to be said that the bread crumbs were scattered too sparsely. It was as if Butterfly was traveling at high speed when she scattered the bread crumbs.
This made it extremely difficult for Ma Wen to track her.
He had to search back and forth, relying on the wide field of vision of a nightwalker to forcibly track her.
As time went by, when Ma Wen felt his eyes sore, the bread crumbs finally came to an end.
In front of him was a forest filled with thick fog.
At the edge of the forest, there were several logging factories built on a river.
This river was called the Norris River, which originated from the Millennium Mountains, flowed through the hinterland of the Southern Wizard Alliance, and finally flowed into the sea at Bass Harbor.
The people of Steel City built their factories upstream of the Norris River, where they cut down trees and processed the lumber.
The round lumber could be floated downstream along the Norris River. This way, they could save a lot of money on transportation.
"Unknowingly, I'm approaching the Millennium Mountains?"
Ma Wen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Along the Norris River was a forest, which was called a logging forest.
Most of the loggers only dared to work at the edge of the forest. There were rumors that demons existed in the depths of the forest.
This theory was debatable, but it was said that the people of the Southern Wizard Alliance had tried to open up the logging forest several times, but they all failed.
One had to know that if they could open up the logging forest, it was possible to open up a new route to the North other than [Volcano Pass], [Wizard's Corner], and other places.
But in the end, they all failed.
Obviously, this forest was a little magical.
As a player in his previous life, Ma Wen naturally knew the horror of this forest.
This was where the Five-Colored Dragons gathered!
Legend had it that the next expansion pack, [Wrath of the Dragon God], would open up in the depths of the logging forest.
Unfortunately, before Ma Wen could witness the opening of the expansion pack, he had accidentally traveled to another world.
He didn't know what was in this forest.
But when the bread crumbs reached the forest, they disappeared. It was obvious that Butterfly had trespassed into the forest.
Ma Wen was suddenly in a dilemma.
His original intention was to hurry to the other end of the Millennium Mountains, but he was tricked by his temporary driver.
At this moment, he finally realized the importance of a flying mount.
It was a pity that the Black Dragon had been heavily injured in the previous battle. Otherwise, Marvin could have just ignored this strange messenger and left on his own.
And now, he obviously had to enter the forest.
Who knew that just as he was about to step into the forest, someone would suddenly shout from behind him, "You're going to die!"
"Hey, Ma Wen."
"You'll die in there."
