Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 131: Jealousy?
Facing everyone's curious gazes, Marvin coughed.
"secret."
Madeline's eyes widened. She wished she could whip the man in front of her until he begged for mercy on the ground!
However, when this thought came to her mind, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Marvin smiled and said, "As long as you don't actively violate the rules of the legal contract, this contract won't do you any harm."
"Isn't it?"
Madeline's face turned pale.
She turned around abruptly, her eyes sweeping over all the people in the River Beach City army.
Everyone was silent.
Collins in the white robe also smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
The Star Sword Master sat there, and no one could overcome him except Marvin!
"One day, I will be a legend!"
Madeline took a deep breath and stared at the Star Sword Master: "Then clean this place up thoroughly!"
The man said gently, "Okay."
Madeline was going crazy.
She was furious.
When she was in River Beach City, there were very few men she couldn't handle!
With her intelligence and extraordinary charm, countless men have fallen for her.
However, during the attack on the Scarlet Monastery, she encountered two men who were not easily persuaded.
One was really impossible to win because the opponent’s strength was too abnormal; the other one was tricked.
Thinking of this, Madeline was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for the next instruction. Marvin returned to Isabel leisurely.
"retreat!"
Madeline held it in for a long time, and finally looked unwillingly in the direction where the secret passage disappeared before giving the order.
The army of River Beach City began to slowly withdraw from the Scarlet Monastery.
In the end, they still failed to wipe out this horrible place.
But at least the Demon God Executor and other monsters will not appear near River Beach City. This may be a little consolation for Madeline and the residents of River Beach City.
…
In the stable carriage, Marvin leaned back on the cushion and relaxed.
Collins still looked calm. Except for when facing the Star Sword Master, the old fox felt a little helpless, but most of the time, he remained calm.
He didn't even ask what Marvin had taken from the basement.
"Regarding the gold mine, when do you plan to develop it?"
After a long time, the old fox said this slowly.
Marvin thought for a moment and said, "It won't take too long. When I go back this time, I will immediately reorganize the territory and then gather a group of troops..."
"Let's focus on adventurers." Collins pointed out the dilemma of Marvin's territory's lack of mid-level combat power.
Marvin said frankly: "There are many such experts in Gem Bay."
"As long as you offer a price, they will come."
Collins nodded. "It looks like you found some kind of shortcut to Gem Bay?"
"Almost." Marvin said with a smile, "Anyway, I can get them to assemble in two weeks at most."
"Okay, then two weeks later."
Collins said: "But the ogre tribe is not so easy to deal with. If my people suffer a certain degree of loss, I will withdraw from the battlefield."
"Don't worry, I can arrange it freely." Marvin said confidently.
That ogre tribe migrated here because they couldn't survive in the Screaming Mountains .
Ogre warriors are naturally second-level, but their combat power is very strong. If there is no wizard in charge of this tribe of about 20 people, at least a legion of 200 people will be needed to deal with it.
This is the case when the tactics and intelligence are appropriate.
In short, ogres are creatures with amazing talents, but for most of them, their upper limits are not particularly high.
There were only a few legendary ogres in the entire history of Fenan, but there were quite a few quasi-legendary ones.
"If we want to develop the White River Valley, we must overthrow the ogre tribe."
"Only in this way can we expand our territory to the coastline."
"Once the port is built, it will be more convenient to trade with Gem Bay."
"The White River and Songzi River are also one of the main rivers on the continent. As long as they are used properly, they can accelerate the development of the entire territory."
"The key is still food and manpower..."
In the carriage, Marvin's mind was filled with the next step-by-step plan.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a door opened instantly.
"Do you need me to close the door?"
Collins asked, “Since we are all allies now, the fee will be halved this time.”
Fees cut in half? Isn't that a quarter of a gold mine?
Ma Wen laughed dryly: "No need."
Now that he has the Law Contract in his hand, he is not afraid of Madeline having any bad intentions.
Collins shrugged and let the woman in the door come in.
"Baron Marvin!"
Madeline came over, her face serious: "We think we need to talk."
…
Outside the riverside city, Marvin and Madeline were strolling leisurely.
Isabel followed Marvin two steps behind him like a little burden.
"I have already sent the logistics team to transport your spoils directly to your White River Valley."
"Besides that, I also gave you some other gifts, including food, clothing, and some craftsmen that your castle needs most."
"I think there is no need to say more about my sincerity."
Madeline stopped and looked at Marvin: "Tell me, what did you take from the basement?"
Ma Wen first said thank you.
Then there was silence.
He still hadn't figured out how to answer Madeline's question.
Marvin could certainly see her desire for legend. But...
He also had a deep understanding of the horror of the Book of Naaru in Chapter 3.
The younger brother of the Star Sword Master was originally a kind-hearted person, but because of this page of the Book of Naaru, his mind became completely distorted and he went crazy.
Eventually, he turned into a lich and attempted to advance to the sub-domain of the God of Slaughter.
The Book of Naaru is a terrifying thing that can change a person.
If it was Page 6, Marvin would probably ask for some chips, so he gave it to Madeline.
Just as he did to Hathaway.
But this third page...
“This is [Destruction]…”
Marvin has a headache.
Once Madeline gets [Destruction], whether she dies or becomes a legend, it is not what Marvin wants to see.
If he succeeds in becoming a legend, the legal contract will be automatically invalidated. God knows how much suffering Marvin will suffer by then.
If he died, there would be chaos in River Beach City.
What's more, the most terrifying result is not death, but madness... River Beach City is so close to the White River Valley, Marvin hopes that this force can remain stable.
At least until he was able to annex this force, he had to maintain stability, otherwise the security of the White River Valley would be threatened.
So he was in a dilemma.
…
"You took the Book of Naaru, didn't you?"
Madeline was so smart that when she saw Marvin hesitate, she immediately guessed the general idea.
"Are you afraid that I will retaliate against you after I become a legend?"
Her voice suddenly became very soft: "Believe me, this will not happen."
"I am all yours now."
"If you want."
Suddenly, the extremely charming female succubus transformed into a delicate-looking young girl.
Her expression became holy, even a little shy.
"Please, give it to me. Everything I have is yours."
"Everyone, including River Beach City, will obey your orders."
"If this is not enough for you, we can join hands to explore the wilderness. River Beach City and the White River Valley, and then explore some towns to the south, and we will be able to obtain a higher noble title from the Southern Wizard Alliance. Earl Marvin? How about this title?"
“All of this is within easy reach.”
"As long as you give it to me."
Having said that, she suddenly put her arm around Marvin's shoulders gently.
Now Madeline is even taller than Marvin.
She showed a shy expression, and others would probably have their hearts pounding if they saw it.
Marvin just felt amused.
Come on, you are a succubus, and you can play such a pure role so easily. Is it really suitable?
Who knew that at this moment, she suddenly kissed him gently.
Ma Wen was stunned.
Legal contracts can only restrict harmful behavior, but cannot restrict intimate behavior.
"Oh my god, am I going to be kissed forcibly?"
Marvin was about to struggle, but at this moment, he suddenly felt his lips becoming extremely cold.
A mysterious rune appeared on his lips and then quietly imprinted on Madeline's lips.
The latter's expression changed drastically.
But it was too late.
An icy breath instantly appeared in this space, and in a flash, in front of Marvin's horrified eyes, Madeline was frozen into an ice sculpture!
"This is……"
Many thoughts raced through Marvin’s mind, and finally settled on a delicate face!
In my memory, on that balcony, a little girl kissed me.
Hathaway!
…
Sure enough, when Marvin turned around with a wry smile, Hathaway appeared quietly with a cold face.
"Do you like this succubus very much?"
She questioned coldly.
Ma Wen shook his head and said, "No..."
Hathaway interrupted, "Why didn't you kill her, then, instead of signing the legal contract?"
Marven was stunned: "Why would I kill her?"
Hathaway was silent.
At this time, she looked like a sixteen-year-old girl, and when she got angry, she was quite charming.
But now Marvin feels extremely troubled.
"Is this jealousy?"
Isabel asked curiously.
If the little girl didn't say anything, the others would have ignored her.
Hathaway glanced at Isabel, and then her expression became even gloomier: "Who is this little girl?"
"Baron Marvin, you are very popular with women..."
Marvin took a deep breath and opened his hands, motioning Hathaway to calm down.
Then he considered his words and asked carefully:
"Will every girl I kiss from now on be frozen into an ice sculpture?"
