Hathaway.
Ma Wen didn't expect that when he heard this name again, it was actually from the mouth of an old monster who had lived for many years in the Autumn Hunting Ground of the Wilderness Temple.
He once thought that he had heard it wrong. The person's name might only be similar to Hathaway's in pronunciation.
So he confirmed it again.
As a result, the Winter Assassin confirmed his previous reply with certainty.
The name of the witch who turned him into a Whispering Worm was really Hathaway.
She claimed to be from Anzag and was fulfilling a very great mission. This mission was said to be related to the people of Anzag and the revival of the witches of Anzag. Because it involved the ownership of Cold Light Grasp, the Winter Assassin, who was in the limelight at that time, naturally refuted the other party's request in a very tough manner.
So the two sides fought.
Tragically, the Winter Assassin, who could even assassinate a god, was defeated by a series of strange [Witchcraft].
Of course, the reason was that the Winter Assassin himself didn't know much about witchcraft. More importantly, the witch of Anzag seemed to have gotten help from a certain god in secret.
He didn't know which god the Winter Assassin was. After all, the previous [Assassinate God] incident had put him on the blacklist of the entire Divine Kingdom of Heaven.
The only thing he could be sure of was that the one who helped Hathaway must be an ancient god. Because in the battle, he heard the ancient god language.
Speaking of the battle that year, Ma Wen could hear that the Winter Assassin himself was very unwilling.
In his own words, he was "tricked."
The result of his bad luck was that he was troubled by the curse for many years. He didn't even know how many years ago it was, but it must have been more than seven or eight hundred years. After all, the Winter Assassin himself was a character in the late Third Epoch. When he was cursed into a Whispering Worm, many of the current gods had not yet been apotheosized.
The Assassin's Alliance he founded was only a relatively loose organization at that time. It didn't belong to the Southern Wizard Alliance. It could be regarded as a predecessor of the Assassin's Alliance later.
It could be seen that this matter had a very long history.
Ma Wen roughly estimated and frowned.
The Winter Assassins were most active in the late Tertiary Period, which lasted for about fifty to sixty years. Lady Silvermoon had fallen before this point. The Winter Assassin had obtained the Grasp of Frostlight by chance and became its master.
Later, the Witches of Anze suddenly appeared and took the Grasp of Cold Light, then brought it to the Wilderness Hall.
There were too many tricks in this.
The last time Ma Wen saw Hathaway, she called herself the Queen of Witches of Anzac.
Ma Wen had a certain understanding of witchcraft incantations. Thanks to the Demonic Phoenix, the curse on Hathaway had been broken by chance, and some of her extraordinary memories had been awakened. Ma Wen had a rough idea of what had happened.
But he couldn't imagine that Hathaway had lived for thousands of years.
Or, were these two people not the same person at all?
With this question in mind, Ma Wen tried to verify with the Winter Assassin the appearance of the witch who had turned him into a Whispering Worm.
However, the Winter Assassin couldn't remember what the witch looked like.
After being cursed, many of his memories seemed to have been sealed.
He only knew that he had been defeated by the witch, but he couldn't remember the witch's appearance at all.
This was also the reason why the Winter Assassin was very frustrated.
As a legendary figure who was active in the late Tertiary Period, at that time, people preferred him to be a god instead of the wretched Glenos.
Inexplicably encountering a powerful enemy and being sealed for close to a thousand years, anyone would be extremely depressed about such a thing.
…
Since he couldn't confirm what Hathaway looked like, Ma Wen couldn't do anything about it.
Deep down, he had a feeling that behind the opening of the Wilderness Hall, there might be a bigger secret waiting for them to discover.
The God of the Wilderness, Miss Silvermoon, the Lich, the Witch of Anzac … There must be a reasonable explanation behind all of this. Marvin had already captured some clues, but he still lacked a line to connect them all in one go.
In any case, since he had already arrived at the Autumn Hunting Ground, Marvin definitely had to give the Wilderness Palace a try.
After all, he had confirmed that the person who opened the Wilderness Hall wasn't the God of the Wilderness, but a Lich. From the information obtained from Holy Light City, Ma Wen could almost confirm that Minsk also entered the Wilderness Hall and didn't appear anywhere in the Scarlet Wasteland.
He didn't forget his original purpose of entering the Scarlet Wasteland was to find the descendant of the Ancient God of Nature.
There might be unexpected gains in the Wilderness Hall.
Since the Winter Assassin had repeatedly emphasized that the Cold Light Grasp was very important to him and Isabelle, Ma Wen didn't mind helping him.
Although a divine artifact was tempting, there were many more powerful ones.
Moreover, the Cold Light Grasp was a dagger. Although Ma Wen could also use a dagger as a weapon after advancing to the Lord of the Night, he was more proficient in the machete aspect in this life. If he wanted to choose a divine artifact, the Cold Light Grasp wasn't the first choice.
…
In the following days, because of the guidance of an old monster like the Winter Assassin, Ma Wen and Isabelle didn't encounter any danger.
They didn't encounter anyone from the Dream Temple. Perhaps the terrifying ability that Isabelle displayed really scared them, so they didn't come looking for them again.
This made Ma Wen feel a lot more gratified.
He and Isabelle worked together, and they were finally not acting alone. They could deal with those monsters easily.
With the Winter Assassin's reminder, the weaknesses of these monsters were also clear at a glance.
Soon, they each got enough Hunter's Marks.
After all, the current Isabelle was no longer the stubborn but powerless little girl.
She had become a real assassin.
Even though Ma Wen and the Winter Assassin restricted her from using her talent ability in these battles, the assassination level that she showed really shocked Ma Wen.
At such a young age, her stealth skills had already reached perfection, almost not worse than the old assassin Ma Wen in his previous life.
As for the technique, the disciple taught by the top assassins in the history of Fernand naturally wouldn't be bad.
Ma Wen even felt that if he used his talent ability, it would be difficult for him to escape her assassination!
The flash that ignored all the laws!
It was scary just thinking about it.
It was also this talent that made the Winter Assassin envious.
It was said that she was now approaching the final examination period. If she completed it, the Winter Assassin would teach her his final ultimate skill.
Only a powerhouse like the Winter Assassin had a trump card that could be said to be legendary. If it was someone else, facing Isabelle who had already advanced to the Legend Realm, they might not have much to teach her.
…
After the two completed the accumulation of Hunter's Marks, the next step was to wait.
Waiting for the real opening of the Wilderness Hall.
According to the Winter Assassin's estimation, at most three days. After three days, the Autumn Hunting Ground would close.
At that time, if they didn't get enough Hunter's Marks, they might be trapped in this space.
Only those with the imprint would have a chance of leaving this land and heading towards the even more dangerous and mysterious Wilderness Palace.
As expected, on the second day after the two of them collected enough marks, a rumbling sound shocked everyone in the depths of the Autumn Hunting Ground.
A huge bronze door appeared in the depths of the hunting ground.
The Lich's voice sounded again:
"Being able to survive proves that you have the strength to witness history with your own eyes."
"Then, please come in."
"The Wilderness Palace has already opened. Every great performance needs an audience, don't you think so?"
Accompanied by the Lich's voice, some figures appeared one after another in the depths of the hunting ground.
Ma Wen could sense that they all carried a strong smell of blood.
Everyone who could survive until now was very strong. They quickly disappeared behind the bronze door.
According to Marvin's estimation, there were more than a hundred Legendary powerhouses who had been caught in the Autumn Hunting Ground, but less than 20 of them had survived!
Even the powerful Dream Shrine had lost two of their warriors.
One had to know that it was safer and more efficient for them to move together.
Ma Wen and Isabelle had been hiding near the bronze door, silently counting the number of people.
In the end, there were a total of 16 legendary figures who had accumulated enough Hunter's Marks. Including Ma Wen and Isabelle, there were a total of 18.
Most of the others had died on this hunting ground.
Their corpses were most likely melted by the acid rain and eventually absorbed by this terrifying space.
After all, for the past two days, there would be acid rain that lasted for more than 10 minutes every four hours.
Ma Wen was sure that this was a sacrifice.
There must be a bigger crisis waiting for them behind the bronze door.
The Lich set up such a big trap, and it was impossible that it just wanted to invite some spectators.
But they had no choice but to follow the path that the Lich pointed out to them, step by step.
…
"Let's go, don't watch anymore."
"I can feel that the door will close in at most five minutes."
The Winter Assassin urged. "Even if the Lich is really playing tricks, we have to go in to find a solution, right?"
Ma Wen nodded and finally stepped into the teleportation door with Isabelle.
Time and space distorted again.
When the scene became real again, they found themselves in a spacious hall.
The hall was full of strange green vines.
These green vines were different from ordinary plants. There were a lot of barbs hanging on them, and a thin layer of mucus!
The air was filled with the smell of blood and fanaticism.
The hall was very wide, and they were in the middle. At a glance, there was a flickering red light in the depths of the darkness.
In the distance, there was the sound of fighting!
"Let's go and take a look."
Marvin gestured for him to keep quiet.
Isabelle was very cooperative and directly entered the state of Stealth.
The two, one on the left and one on the right, used the special ability of the whisperers to communicate their positions and quickly approached.
…
In a corner of the hall.
A man in a black cloak was standing steadily on the side.
Behind him was a thick fog, and in the depths of the black fog, a two-headed bone dragon loomed.
And beside him stood a gorgeously dressed Jade Banshee!
"It's really him!"
Ma Wen was a little relieved. Things would be much easier now that he had found the person behind the scenes.
The soul fire in this guy's eyes was so obvious that the word [Lich] was almost engraved on his face.
And in the open space in front of him, the people fighting were actually the Adjudicators of the Dream Shrine!
The mage, who had been in high spirits a moment ago, now seemed to have fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
In the Autumn Hunting Ground, they had lost two people, and now four Shrine Warriors, Paladin Griffin, and the mage himself were actually having a hard time resisting the Lich's attack. Wait, that wasn't the Lich's attack!
Ma Wen's pupils shrank.
What put Griffin and the others in a predicament were the green vines!
"There's something wrong with these green vines."
Ma Wen looked at the seemingly living vines surrounding the group and wildly attacking them. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Each of these green vines was terrifyingly tough, and they actually didn't break under the slash of the magic sword.
On the contrary, the barbs on them were very powerful.
Ma Wen could feel that these green vines were absorbing the enemy's life force and divine power!
This ability was too terrifying.
"Wait … these green vines are all over the shrine … Not good!"
By the time Ma Wen's mind reacted, it was already too late.
The next second, he only felt a pain in his stomach!
He didn't know when it started, but two terrifying green vines had already wrapped around his waist!
"Ah!"
Not far away, Isabelle also let out a soft cry as she was tied up by two green vines with barbs.
She instinctively wanted to use her talent ability to escape, but Ma Wen gave her a look.
Isabelle hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn't use her ability and was directly hung up by the green vines.
Naturally, Ma Wen did the same.
The green vines didn't seem to have any intention of killing them directly. He wanted to see what this Lich was up to.
It might not be advantageous to fight their way out now.
It was better to show the enemy that we're weak first and see the situation clearly before attacking.
However, this attempt shocked even Ma Wen himself.
Their bodies continued to be hung by the green vines, and finally, they were hanging from the ceiling.
At this time, he only noticed that the tall ceiling of the shrine was filled with people!
These people included not only the legendary masters who fought in the Autumn Hunting Ground, but also some unfamiliar faces.
Of course, most of them were dried corpses!
At this time, Ma Wen's eyelids twitched.
Not far away, a man with his eyes closed was hanging peacefully.
Ma Wen recognized him.
"Demigod Minsk!" he shouted in his heart.
At this time, the Lich's gloomy voice came from below.
"I didn't expect two cute fishes to escape the net. I almost let you escape.
"But it's useless. The moment you entered the Wilderness Shrine, the ending was already decided.
"Whether you're a nobody or a high and mighty believer of the God of Dreams, you'll all become the audience of this show … Of course, no one can avoid the fate of becoming fodder in the end."
The Lich laughed softly.
"I'm very fair, aren't I?"
