This strange situation gave Ma Wen a fright!
The body of a god that had been dead for who knew how many years could still move?
He could not help but rub his eyes.
When he looked at the statue again, the latter became silent again.
It was as if Ma Wen had just been hallucinating.
"Did I really see wrongly?"
He walked around the statue twice, his suspicions growing stronger. However, no matter how he tried, the statue did not move.
Her hands were still emitting a faint glow, as bright as the stars in the sky.
A strange feeling crept up Ma Wen's spine.
He felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that the Lich had done something to Miss Silvermoon's body?
In terms of witchcraft, although Ma Wen was considered knowledgeable, he was not a true Magus, and his knowledge was limited.
With his level, he could not see the Lich's intentions.
Through the conversation between the Emerald Demoness and the Lich, Marvin knew that it wouldn't be long before a barrier would be activated.
He did not want to cause trouble, so it was better to leave first.
Thus, he took advantage of the fact that it was not yet time to carefully walk around the underground city.
This was especially so for the Dungeon Heart. Ma Wen carefully observed it for a while.
He found that the Dungeon Heart was in a dormant state, and there was a sealing spell formation near it. Ma Wen did not know about spell formations, so he did not dare to touch it.
However, the good news was that the Dungeon Heart could still be used.
If that was the case, this was a priceless treasure. If he could get his hands on it, it would not be any less valuable than the foundation of the sanctuary.
Moreover, through close observation, Ma Wen found that the Dungeon Heart's pulsation was much quieter because of the suppression of the sealing spell formation.
In theory, this Dungeon Heart actually contained much more power than what it showed on the surface!
If there was a chance, he could think of a way to get this Dungeon Heart.
"That Lich does not seem to be interested in the Dungeon Heart. Otherwise, he would have gotten it before me."
Ma Wen analyzed in his heart.
There was clearly something more important in the Regis Ruins. The Lich seemed to only care about Miss Silvermoon's body and even ignored the Dungeon Heart.
Otherwise, with the Lich's knowledge of magic, it would not be a problem for him to break the seal.
It was almost time. Ma Wen shrunk again, activated the spell, and left the Regis ruins safely.
He followed the dark tunnel back, left the shrubbery, went deep into the Black Forest, and returned to the Torch Trail. Everything seemed normal.
Ma Wen's luck was pretty good. He did not encounter that jade demoness.
However, from the conversation between her and the Lich, it seemed that she had been called over by the Lich to be his helper. With the Lich's strength, why would he need helpers? Who knew what he was planning?
Could all of this be related to Cold Light Grasp?
Ma Wen had too many questions in his heart.
It seemed like Zhang Xuan could only head to Holy Light City to gather information before he could continue his analysis and conjecture.
Ma Wen did not delay. After returning to the Torch Trail, he used the Grey Eagle Staff to summon a fine horse and galloped away.
An hour later, Holy Light City was not far away.
Ma Wen got off the horse and activated the disguise spell, preparing to sneak into the city.
The security of Holy Light City was very tight. Non-humans and creatures from the Celestial Kingdom could not enter.
Fortunately, Ma Wen had a pass from Isengard, so the Holy Light City prosecutor did not make things difficult for Ma Wen and let him in.
Once he entered Holy Light City, Ma Wen felt uncomfortable all over.
It was an oppressive feeling.
The insignia of the gods flashed in front of Ma Wen's eyes.
They were all people wearing the insignia of the gods. They were all Legendary experts with faith. These people usually had a much higher status than ordinary believers. They had the right to wear the insignia of a higher-level church and receive more blessings from the gods.
Holy Light City was a country where the forces of the gods were numerous.
Although on the surface, the human powerhouses also had a place of their own, and with a few powerhouses and organizations, they could barely be on par with the Celestial Kingdom. However, the pressure on the gods was still very great.
Ma Wen casually walked around and found that the forces of the Temple had basically controlled two-thirds of Holy Light City.
The vast holy power of different attributes continued to spread, and the Temple seemed to be vaguely competing with each other.
The little bit of demonic Warlock blood in Ma Wen's body was suppressed, and it was very uncomfortable. In this godforsaken place, it was probably very difficult to activate the various forms of the demonic Warlock. If creatures like demons or evil spirits wanted to sneak in, they would probably have to bear a lot of pressure.
"I wonder if Griffin succeeded."
When he passed by the entrance of the Temple, there were solemn knights guarding the main hall. Everyone who passed by would be subjected to their cold gazes.
This feeling made Ma Wen very uncomfortable.
Soon, he left the Temple area and prepared to go to the place where humans lived to ask for some information.
…
The area occupied by humans was in the northeast corner of Holy Light City.
Compared to the other areas, this place was more like a normal human city.
There were taverns, inns, weapon shops, busy markets, streets, and long-term residential areas.
No matter where it was, the taverns were always the place where information flowed the fastest.
Ma Wen observed the number of customers in a few taverns, and finally chose a tavern called [Whispers] and went in.
The tavern was very noisy. Ma Wen randomly found a corner, ordered a glass of wine, and quietly sat down.
Inside Holy Light City, there were really many Legends.
Basically, the customers who visited here were all Legends and had strength. Legends in a terrifying place like the Scarlet Wasteland were just like ordinary adventurers. It was not a big deal.
They also needed to live, and they also needed to kill to improve their strength.
What was different from ordinary adventurers was that they did not care about their livelihood, but came here for a greater ambition — to set out for a higher realm.
It was this desire and ambition that became the biggest driving force for humanity to improve, but it could also be the root of humanity's self-destruction.
Ma Wen sat in the tavern for about an entire afternoon. At dusk, the bartender who did not pay attention to Ma Wen before suddenly walked over.
"Do you need help?"
He smiled brightly. This was a boy with a pair of very beautiful eyes.
"I didn't order service" Ma Wen shook his glass, which was still half full.
The bartender continued to smile: "Indeed, but I think you might need my help"
"You have been sitting here alone for a long time, and you did not look around, which means you are not waiting for anyone"
"Your expression is very calm, a strong person like you does not need alcohol to relieve your boredom, so there is only one reason for you to come to [Whispers]"
"Don't you want to find out something?"
He smiled confidently.
Pa! Ma Wen put the glass on the table and revealed a playful smile.
