Isabelle.
Ma Wen had guessed this name before, but when the girl said her name again, Ma Wen was still a little shocked.
He did not expect to meet her in this place.
And the little girl that he saved a few months ago when he was wreaking havoc in the gang had actually grown up.
All of this was simply too unimaginable.
Before the Cataclysm, Ma Wen had also met Isabelle, who was training in the Assassin League, but he lost track of her.
At that time, he was too busy to find the missing girl.
He did not expect that she would accidentally become the Winter Assassin's disciple.
In front of Ma Wen, Isabelle did not hide anything and directly threw out the Whispering Worm.
Poor Winter Assassin, not only did he have to help during the battle, but he also had to expose his current embarrassing appearance in front of Ma Wen.
After all, a famous legend was turned into a Whispering Worm by an evil witch. It was too shameful.
Fortunately, Winter Assassin's psychological quality was good. He probably endured it for so many years.
In addition, he was really partial to Isabelle, so he did not hide many secrets from Ma Wen.
After listening, Ma Wen was even more speechless.
No wonder Isabelle suddenly grew up – it turned out to be a problem of the flow of time.
…
The flow of time was a very strange concept.
The flow of time in each plane was different. Ma Wen stayed in Fernand, so naturally, there would not be any messy situation.
But after Isabelle was accepted by Winter Assassin, she had been practicing the Assassin's skills in a special space.
Although only a few months had passed in Fernand, she had actually been practicing in that space for more than ten years.
Today, she was already a slender and elegant young lady.
She was very different from the little girl that Ma Wen saw who was persistent in asking for money back for her mother.
The only thing that did not change was that calm and persistent temperament and that pair of crimson eyes.
The symbol of the Hammond people.
For the two to meet here, Ma Wen could only sigh at the wonder of the world.
As for Isabelle, he still liked this very strong little girl. Perhaps this was a common trait of the Harmon tribe. He could see the shadow of the boy from his previous life in her.
The current Isabelle's strength could not be underestimated.
According to Ma Wen's estimation, her strength had probably already reached the level of Fernand's.
Coupled with the elusive [Blink] talent, it was basically the ability of a top assassin.
Even Ma Wen himself did not dare to say that he would definitely win against her.
Of course, her true power wasn't as strong as she'd revealed. Destroying the Dreamscape Guardian in three strikes was definitely at the level of a Planar Guardian.
In the process of exchanging blows just now, the most important thing was the sudden killing intent.
It was this sudden determination that instantly overwhelmed Swift's defensive power, allowing Isabel to calmly kill him.
Of course, that murderous intent didn't belong to Isabelle.
Although her mentor, the Winter Assassin, had been turned into a Whisperer by the witches and had lost most of his strength, his murderous aura was still there.
During battle, releasing a little of it occasionally was enough to deal with most of the enemies.
After listening to Isabelle's explanation, Ma Wen could only sigh silently. This was the template of a main character!
Bringing an old grandpa along with her was simply too awesome.
After a moment of envy, Ma Wen suddenly realized a huge problem.
"Just now, you used Blink …"
"Wait, how much lifespan do you have left?"
His expression turned serious.
Isabelle smiled, "It's enough for me."
Ma Wen frowned slightly. Although the Harmon were natural assassins, their innate abilities came at the cost of their lifespan.
Back then, in order to extend Isabelle's life, Ma Wen had specially found the Fountain of Youth for her to replenish her life.
But now, it seemed that although her body was incomparably powerful and she had already advanced into the legendary realm, her life force was still very weak.
"Don't look at me like that. Kid. "
The Whisperer said unhappily, "I've been limiting the number of times she can use her innate ability, but she doesn't listen to me at all."
"I've exhausted all my wealth to maintain her lifespan, but she always says that she doesn't need to live too long, just enough is enough. What kind of logic is that?"
Ma Wen looked at Isabelle and said sincerely:
"If it's an innate ability, it's better not to use it if possible, right?"
The Whisperer said disdainfully, "She won't listen to your advice at all."
But the next second, Isabelle actually said with a smile:
"Alright."
The Winter Assassin immediately exploded!
… …
Although it was a very gratifying thing to meet a friend in this place, Ma Wen still did not stay in the same place for too long.
The Temple of Dreams had the advantage of numbers in the Autumn Hunting Ground. If Wayne put down his arrogance and took the initiative to look for the mages and the few Temple Warriors, his side still did not have much chance of winning.
Previously, Isabelle killed Swift by using the Winter Assassin's ability to catch him off guard.
If he was careful, Isabelle's assassination ability would be greatly suppressed.
The two walked all the way together and quickly left the place.
With the Winter Assassin as the narrator, the journey did not seem lonely.
The former legendary figure seemed to have been holding back. He did not hide anything from Ma Wen and told him everything he knew about this place.
"So, you came here specifically for the Grip of Cold Light?"
Ma Wen was a little surprised. He originally thought that Isabelle was also innocently involved like himself, but he did not expect that she entered the Wilderness Temple on her own initiative.
"There's no other way. Who told that annoying witch to say that the only way to remove her curse is to get the Grip of Cold Light again?"
The Whisperer looked particularly helpless: "Although I am very doubtful about the authenticity of her words, I still have to try, right?"
"What's more, the Grip of Cold Light is a very powerful artifact. The reason why I could assassinate the gods in my heyday was because of the power of this artifact. Isabelle needs a pair of weapons that match her strength. "
Ma Wen nodded slightly.
For some reason, he always had a strange feeling in his heart.
How did this matter have something to do with the witches?
According to the Winter Assassin, it was a witch who snatched his Grip of Cold Light, arrived at the Scarlet Wasteland, and then left this pair of artifacts in the Wilderness Temple.
The Winter Assassin, who was cursed into a Whisperer, was actually not very clear about what happened.
However, it was said that the witch was "very kind" to leave him a way out.
That was to tell him the time of the Wilderness Temple's appearance and some related inside information. If he could get the Grip of Cold Light, his curse would be lifted.
"Why did the witch bring the Grip of Cold Light into the Wilderness Temple?"
Ma Wen was a little curious: "By the way, what's the witch's name?"
The Winter Assassin gritted his teeth and spat out a name:
"Hathaway."
