"You actually care about this issue?"

Hathaway's eyebrows twitched, and she was about to get angry again. Marvin hurriedly said seriously:

"No, no, no... What I mean is, in this case, it seems that I have one more means of attack."

"By the way, are you going to leave her like this forever?"

Marvin looked at Madeline who was frozen into an ice sculpture and asked.

"Bring it here."

Hathaway opened her hand without saying a word.

Marvin smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the third chapter of the Book of Naaru to Hathaway.

Of course, he still kept the rare book on alchemy.

Giving the Book of Naaru to Hathaway is indeed safer than giving it to Medivh.

After all, she has read Chapter 6 [Rebirth] and gained inspiration from it, so she should have no problem reading Chapter 3.

Her identity as the Awakener would help her see through the lies of the God of Deception. If she kept it, it would be much safer than if anyone else did.

In addition, Hathaway did help Marvin a lot. At least her existence made those who coveted the White River Valley give up their thoughts.

When you are not strong enough, you still have to hold on to your superiors. Marvin has never been a pedantic person.

…

Hathaway took the third chapter of the Book of Naaru and put it away without even looking at it.

She snorted coldly and waved her hand, and the ice sculpture next to her shattered instantly.

"Hathaway!" Madeline shuddered. When she saw Hathaway, she was surprised and angry.

"This is from Marvin to you. Remember your promise."

"River Beach City is his."

Hathaway said coldly. The next second, a yellowed parchment was thrown to Madeline by Hathaway.

The latter was stunned for a moment.

"This is……"

Page 6 of the Book of Naaru!

"I'll lend it to you temporarily. With your talent and ability, if you go straight to the third page, I'm afraid you'll go crazy."

Hathaway said proudly: "Remember what you just said. When you are promoted to Legend, River Beach City and your other forces must be handed over to Marvin."

"Otherwise, the Three Ring Tower will cause trouble for you."

After saying this, she didn't even look at Marvin and Madeline, but directly summoned the magic carpet and flew away.

Madeline held the parchment in her hand, overjoyed.

Marvin was completely stunned.

What the hell is going on?

He had worked so hard to get the Book of Naaru, and it was just taken away by Hathaway , who even made the decision for him regarding the deal between him and Madeline.

Why do I feel like I'm being controlled?

At this moment, a mosquito-like voice suddenly sounded beside his ear:

"I'm leaving now, back to the Third Ring Tower. Be careful."

"Also, remember, you are mine..."

…

After Hathaway left, Madeline did not stay there for long.

For the sake of legend, she can now really give everything.

But as for what happens after becoming a legend...it's hard to say!

Given Madeline's personality, Marvin didn't quite believe that she would really be willing to hand over River Beach City to him.

All the previous arguments were just to obtain the Book of Naaru.

But no matter what, since Hathaway helped him to make the deal, if Madeline goes back on her word, she will be greeted with the wrath of the Awakener!

With Hathaway's relationship with Shadow Thief Owl, plus Rayman, Marvin can also contact Constantine...

Such a lineup is definitely not something that a new legend like Medili can contend with.

"If that's the case, with River Beach City and the White River Valley as two fulcrums, we can support a large area of land in the south."

"If we open up some more wild land, we can definitely establish a country after the catastrophe!"

This is what Marvin thought in his heart.

Of course, things are definitely not that simple. Behind all this, there must be strength to guarantee it.

The biggest reason why the Stone Mountain after the Cataclysm was able to establish a country that protects everyone is due to the powerful personal strength of the Three Sisters of Destiny.

"let's go."

Marvin took Isabel and ended the trip to the Scarlet Monastery and returned to the White River Valley.

…

It was already evening when he took the carriage given by Madeline and a group of logistics personnel to deliver the spoils to the castle.

Anna has returned to the castle.

Her advancement task was much simpler than Marvin's, and with her years of accumulation, she successfully advanced to the [Sword Dancer] among the half-elf warriors.

Her expertise and swordsmanship are very suitable for this profession.

It is worth mentioning that Marvin noticed that the level of the indigenous people after advancement was not fixed at level 1.

For example, this time Anna, after she advanced to [Sword Dancer], directly obtained three levels of Sword Dancer.

In this way, she was a level 5 warrior/level 3 sword dancer, and suddenly became a level 2 professional with a total level of 8. This may have something to do with her comprehension.

All in all, Marvin's half-elf butler is actually quite talented in swordsmanship.

It's just that she needs to distract herself from the political affairs of the White River Valley.

…

In the study, after learning that Winnie had fallen asleep, Marvin did not disturb him.

He briefly inquired about what had happened in the White River Valley during the time he was away.

Anna's report was precise and concise, something she had become very good at.

After all, it seems to have become a regular phenomenon that the Lord of the White River Valley is away from his territory for a long time.

Marvin listened quietly, and gradually, his brows began to frown:

This time, Anna went to the Moonlight Glade to advance, and also found the guard.

According to Anna, although the guard successfully passed through the Spider Dungeon, he was attacked by a group of horse thieves when he was about to reach Blackwood Port.

Although he survived, he was seriously injured and stayed in a village near Black Dock for a while. When Anna found him, he was already dying.

If she had not found the priest of the Silver Church of Blackwood Port in time, the life of this garrison member would have been in danger.

After that, Anna tried to find Lola or Old Took, but there was no news.

The guard at the Blackwood Port gate said that he had never seen the girl.

"That female liar is very likely to have run away with the money."

Anna finally came to this conclusion.

Marvin did not comment.

Did he really run away with the money? Ma Wen was a little skeptical.

That talkative girl, the girl who foolishly asked herself what her zodiac sign was before the battle, would she really betray my trust in her?

His intuition told him that Laura might be in some trouble.

But no matter what, he couldn't focus on this matter right now.

His energy is limited and he can only protect a certain number of people.

There is no need to say more about the rest. With a fixed allocation of food, the residents of the territory are very motivated to work.

Winnie has a good talent as a lord, and everyone loves him very much as the acting lord.

According to the current situation, farming families in the Baihe Valley will be able to harvest something before the autumn harvest.

This season's wheat should be enough to see them through the winter and pay their taxes according to their previous share.

Marvin was pleased with this.

He had no shortage of wizard gold coins, but food was the most important thing.

The land in the White River Valley is very barren. There are large tracts of fertile soil on the other side of the river, but that is a wild area, and God knows how many monsters are lurking there.

If you want to open up the wilderness, you have to pay a price.

Although Marvin wanted to promote the development of the territory as quickly as possible, he still had to take one step at a time.

Let’s open up the wilderness in the east first. After all, he knows the situation in the east.

After destroying the ogres and building a port, you can apply to the Southern Wizarding Union for a wilderness development order.

In this way, we will be qualified to openly recruit talents from other regions.

Otherwise, if they privately offered money to talents from other regions to lure them to settle in the White River Valley, it would be seen as a provocation by other lords and could easily lead to war.

With the Wilderness Development Order, everything becomes different.

The Southern Wizard Alliance encourages the development of wilderness. For example, this White River Valley is a new territory that Marvin's grandfather developed after applying for the Wilderness Development Order.

Before that, there were a lot of gnolls and wild goblins lurking here.

…

"That's about it for the rest of the matter." After Anna finished reporting on the territory, she continued:

"But there are three people recently who I think you should meet in person."

"A visitor?"

Marvin was a little surprised.

"Well, the first visitor, he called himself Federer, and said he was your friend... I arranged for him to stay in the basement of the castle... He said he loved the atmosphere of the basement."

"But I think he's a little dangerous."

Anna said cautiously.

Before, because Hathaway was there, she felt at ease letting anyone into the territory.

If anyone tries to cause trouble, the legendary wizard will make sure he has no chance of returning.

Now that Hathaway is gone, she has to start worrying about these things.

"Federer? He's here?" Marvin was delighted. Was this guy really bored staying alone in Despair Hill?

I still need his help to transform the coffins I got from the Scarlet Monastery.

"Don't worry, Federer is indeed my friend. Nothing will happen."

Marvin said, "What about the other two?"

"One is the man I told you about before..."

Anna said hesitantly.

"What man?" Marvin looked confused.
