Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 133: Level 3!
fiancée!?
Hearing this term, Marvin almost fell off his chair.
What's going on?
When did I get a fiancée?
"Anna, in this case, you don't need to report it to me directly, right?"
Marvin was a little surprised: "You also know the situation of our family, from my grandfather to my father, to me and Winnie."
"The White River Valley doesn't maintain very good relations with the nobles outside... How could I have a fiancée?"
Anna nodded: "In theory, it is true."
"But this woman seems a little different."
"Besides, what she said made it impossible for me to kick her out."
Marven couldn't help but frowned: "What do you mean?"
Anna took a deep breath and looked at Marven carefully: “She said that this marriage was not arranged by your father or grandfather, but by your great-grandfather.”
"She said that your grandfather was the second son of the Duke of the Northern Principality of Lavis. He ran away from home and came to the south to establish the White River Valley."
“But his name still exists in the Cleland family tree.”
"They have been searching for him until recently, when they found the White River Valley."
"So the fiancée who was arranged for you early on came ahead and couldn't wait to come to the White River Valley to see you."
Marvin was stunned.
Isn't this a bit too much information?
Great-grandfather?
The Northern Principality of Lavis?
The Clelands?
Wait… Marvin rubbed his temple.
"Master Marvin? Are you okay?" Anna asked cautiously.
Marvin took a deep breath and said, "It's okay. I was just wondering, how come these things suddenly appeared? Why was there no news before?"
"Perhaps this has something to do with your performance in the Holy Grail War," Anna said cautiously.
"When I first heard that young lady talk about this, I was also very surprised, but she described it very realistically, and even described what your grandfather looked like."
"Before, the White River Valley was still too remote. It was too far away from the Northern Principality."
"It's normal that they can't find your grandfather."
Marvin nodded, and slowly recalled some information about the principality in the north.
…
In the North, there are many city-states, unlike the South where there is a huge wizard alliance to rule everything.
Battles often broke out between city-states in the north.
Countries large and small are almost everywhere in the vast land north of the Millennium Mountains.
Marvin had heard of both the Principality of Lavis and the reputation of the Crilland family.
This is an ancient country. Although the territory is not particularly large, it has always stood firm, perhaps because of its advantageous geographical location.
The Crilland family was also very mysterious. Some people said that they were a group of people who made a deal with the devil.
They control mysterious powers that do not seem to be witchcraft, but there are many wizards willing to work for them.
All in all, in the North, this can be considered an influential force.
…
"That lady also brought a message. She said your great-grandfather wanted to meet you very much. If you are willing to go back to the north with her, you will regain the right to inherit the Principality of Lavis."
"If you calculate according to the current situation, you should be able to obtain the top six inheritance rights."
Anna said this very carefully, because she also knew that all this sounded too ridiculous.
It is true that Marvin is a nobleman, but compared with a behemoth like the Principality of Lavis, a small place like the White River Valley is truly a rural area.
This information looks suspicious.
But from what Ma Wen knew, his grandfather seemed to be from a famous family in the north.
It’s a pity that Shadow Thief Owl is no longer in the territory, otherwise I could find him to verify the specific situation.
There is no point in guessing now. It seems that I really have to meet the so-called "fiancée" tomorrow.
"By the way, did she say what her name was?"
Marvin asked.
Anna nodded: "She did tell me her name, but she didn't tell me her last name."
"Her name is very strange, it's [Bamboo]."
bamboo?
What a strange name.
"Ms. Zhu, huh?"
Somehow, Marvin felt a palpitation in his heart.
His intuition told him that everything didn't seem that simple.
…
Inside a house in the castle at night.
"This White River Valley is so poor."
The girl in the cyan skirt turned around in front of the mirror, watching her skirt fluttering, and suddenly chuckled:
"What do you think Baron Marvin's expression will be when he sees me tomorrow?"
Behind her, a man in black knelt on one knee.
"Master Zhu, with your beauty, you will definitely be able to charm that country bumpkin to his heart's content."
He said so.
"But I don't understand why you want to do this. Isn't it the best thing to do to kill the legendary wizard now while he's gone?"
"madness!"
The girl shouted coldly: "Do you think our target is only this Marvin?"
"Everyone who killed Lord Red cannot escape responsibility. We can easily find the legendary wizard Hathaway in the Three Rings Tower, but the rest are different. I still don't know how this country bumpkin connected the four legends together. I need to investigate all the facts of the matter."
"Everyone who caused the death of Lord Red must die."
The man in black lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "But even though Master Tianqing has given you immense power, you are still not a legend."
Zhu smiled happily: "Who said you have to be a legend to kill a legend?"
"Besides, the order given by Lord Tianqing so far is just for me to find out the whereabouts of all these people."
"When necessary, she will give me more power. Even the twin snakes of destruction will send down their projections."
"I think the White River Valley is a good place..."
The girl turned around in front of the mirror, her eyes narrowed into a line: "Suitable for slaughter and sacrifice."
…
The next morning, Marvin was handling official business in his study.
Winnie woke up earlier than him, which was a very rare thing. Since becoming the acting lord, the little guy was obviously more serious than before.
After the two of them briefly discussed territory affairs, Anna came over.
"Sir, that lady requests to see you again," Anna said.
Marvin nodded.
He suddenly asked, "By the way, there is something I forgot to ask you yesterday. When did this lady who claims to be my fiancée come to the White River Valley?"
Anna thought for a moment and said, "It was about the time when Lady Hathaway left."
"Is that so?"
Thoughts flashed through Marvin's mind.
After the legendary wizard left, a fiancée suddenly appeared. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Do you really think people in the countryside are pigs?
Winnie pulled Marvin's sleeve and whispered to him, "Brother, I don't like that woman."
"I have met her. Although she was very nice to me and smiled beautifully, I always felt uncomfortable."
Ma Wen became even more alert.
Winnie is the only one who knows the identity of the Awakener. The Awakeners can not only foresee the future, but also have excellent talents. Their innate perception can sometimes be very accurate.
It seems that my fiancée has bad intentions.
"Let her wait in the reception room for fifteen minutes."
"I'll go see her right away," said Marvin.
…
Fifteen minutes was enough time for Marvin to make some preparations.
After Hathaway left, the territory currently has no high-end combat power. If it really is a terrifying enemy, I'm afraid it will be impossible to resist.
He first went to see the old blacksmith Sheen.
As a result, the old man got drunk.
He finally woke up the old blacksmith and explained his purpose, but he was scolded:
"Do you think the Demon Hunter is your subordinate, someone you can summon and dismiss at will?"
"He is a legendary figure. He was very kind to you by helping you kill the Crimson Patriarch last time."
Marvin said calmly, "I just hope you can contact him. Hathaway left recently, and the territory seems a little unsafe."
"If he's free, he can come and sit here. It's not bad to bring the Endless Ocean with him. The White River Valley has beautiful scenery and is suitable for a honeymoon..."
Sheen remained silent, and gained a new understanding of Marvin's thick skin.
"I'll try my best. But don't expect too much."
Marvin nodded.
…
The next step is to improve your own strength.
In the battle of Scarlet Monastery, Marvin gained a lot of experience. His upgrade progress had slowed down due to the continuous increase in level.
However, the transformation of the two-headed snake just happened to restrain the Demon God Executor, and at the same time it could obtain double experience, which allowed Marvin to make a huge profit.
He opened the data panel and found that his killing experience had reached 55,755 points!
This can completely increase one's strength to the third level!
He thought about it for a moment and began to quickly distribute experience.
Because before advancing to the legendary profession Night Lord, Marvin is unlikely to advance to other third-level professions, so before he reaches level 20, Night Walker and Ranger will become his main professions.
The first step, of course, is to upgrade the level of the Night Walker.
After consuming 25,000 experience points, Marvin's Night Walker level reached level 4. 36 skill points, 80 health points, and 1 free attribute point.
The second step is to upgrade the ranger level. After spending 8000 experience points, he became a level 7 ranger and gained 24 skill points and 48 health points.
The third step is to upgrade the level of the Shaman. It consumes 20,000 experience points and upgrades the Shaman by two levels, bringing this part-time profession to level 4.
The upgrade of the Magic Warlock profession gave Marvin a total of 72 health points. At the same time, he finally got another spell - [Disguise].
[Disguise]: Once a day. You can disguise yourself as any human creature (including goblins, dwarves, and other small humanoid creatures) within 20 minutes.
The specific effect is that the disguise priority reaches more than 100 points. This is a very strong disguise effect. You should know that the disguise priority of the deceiver mask is only 150 points.
However, no matter what, in this way, Marvin was finally promoted to the third level in one go.
His total level is 13! (Ranger 7 + Night Walker 4 + Shaman 4/2 = 13)
After quickly allocating external skill points and attribute points, Marvin sorted out his equipment and walked calmly to the reception room.
It's time to meet my fiancée.
