Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 202 Black Hole
The Book of Naaru, a book full of magic.
Every page of the Book of Naaru holds endless possibilities.
It can drive a person crazy, or it can bring unimaginable benefits to a person.
Marvin has always been very cautious about the Book of Naaru.
This is also the reason why, after he obtained the third page of the Book of Naaru, [Destruction], he did not read it himself immediately.
Because the danger of [destruction] is far greater than that of [rebirth].
The Book of Naaru can control a person's mind and drive her crazy, but once the strange runes appear in that person's eyes, it is not just a matter of control.
That's the deal.
The rune that Marvin had just drawn on the Book of Naaru represented a law created by the God of Trickster.
A mysterious resonance formed between him and the sixth page of the Book of Naaru. In other words, he temporarily became the master of the Book of Naaru.
So he was qualified to call upon the present Madeline.
Marvin has almost figured out the cause and effect of the matter: Madeline does not actually have the qualifications to be promoted to a legendary level, and even with the help of the Book of Naaru, she still cannot do it.
But this woman's ambition and desire continue to push her towards legend.
Coupled with the pressure from the celestial deer and the evil spirit world, she made a crazy decision!
She opened the Book of Naaru and made a deal with it.
She gained power from the Book of Naaru and was promoted to Legend, and the price of the deal was half of her soul.
That rune was one of the symbols of the transaction. Marvin recognized it immediately.
So he hesitated for a moment, but finally killed Madeline decisively.
That was the most evil Madeline—or rather, the evil side of the Lord of River Beach City. What was preserved in the Book of Naaru was the kind side of Madeline.
That’s right, no matter how evil a being is, there will be a kind side to it, not to mention that Madeline’s kindness is not small.
Otherwise, she would not have become the lord of River Beach City.
The Madeline in front of him was summoned by Marvin from the Book of Naaru again. She has all her previous memories .
There are only two differences.
First, her body was attached to the Book of Naaru, so she had to obey Marvin completely. And from her performance, she seemed to enjoy it.
In a sense, Medili usually shows her evil, queen side; now, Medili naturally shows her kind and submissive side.
She would obey all of Marvin's orders, and she did it very naturally and willingly.
Second, her strength has declined.
Although still a legend, he is probably the weakest among the legendary wizards.
After all, she is half dead.
Marvin did this out of helplessness. The deal that Madeline made with the Book of Naaru doomed her to destruction.
By doing this, he was already trying his best to make amends.
After all, becoming the master of the Book of Naaru also has certain risks. Fortunately, he is a [Newborn], and he has passed the test of this chapter before he dares to become its master.
If it was [Destruction], he wouldn't even dare to look at it now.
In any case, Madeline's resurrection is actually good news for Marvin.
He can use her to control Riverside City.
Although he killed Madeline in front of so many people in River Beach City, he could explain that it was a trick staged by the two of them. The purpose ... was naturally to deal with potential enemies. As for what kind of enemy it was, he could just make up one at random.
Anyway, no one in River Beach City dared to defy Madeline's authority, not to mention that she was the real lord of River Beach City.
After finishing all this, Marvin saw that the extremely charming Madeline was about to stick to him, so he quickly put her back into the Book of Naaru.
It would be better if Hathaway didn't see this for the time being.
After all, it can’t be explained clearly in a short time.
…
The next day, after everyone woke up, Marvin quickly did some things.
First, the Spacetime Relic was given to Owl, who then asked Shadow Thief to pass it on to Inheim. Marvin believed that with the healing power of the Mother of All Things, Inheim would definitely be able to recover.
The gods covet treasures like the Spacetime Relics. If you have it in your hands, it will basically be a trouble-making role, so it is better to put it in the hands of reliable people as soon as possible.
The second thing was to hand over the body of the red dragon in the paper cranes to Constantine.
Constantine's friend, Master Dissector Wall, is waiting for him in the city-state [Wooden Fortress] in the southern part of the snowfield. It is said that he has an independent studio there, with more than a dozen assistants working for him. Patience is required for dissecting a dragon. Dissection is best done in the climate of the North.
Marvin trusted Constantine. Since it was the master of dissection, the treasures on the body would definitely be removed perfectly. He would then distribute them.
After Constantine got the red dragon's corpse, he rushed south without stopping. He and Marvin agreed that they would return to the White River Valley after finishing this matter.
After all, the White River Valley is very different now.
As Marvin's fame grew, more and more people began to pay attention to this magical land.
It requires a legendary strongman to take charge.
Daniela apparently still wasn't enough.
The rest of the people dispersed because of their own things. The legends were also very busy.
O'Brien continued to head east, his battle with the Molten Flame Clan was not over yet. Although he had twisted off the head of a Molten Lord, it was said that another equally powerful evil force had emerged from the Great Rift in the north, and he had to fight against it.
Shadow Thief Owl naturally went to find Inheim, while Endless Ocean needed to report the whole story to the Migratory Bird Council.
Both Lorant and Hathaway need to return to the South.
Lorant was very grateful for everything Marvin had done, especially for rescuing the Celestial Deer's child.
He gave Marvin a badge, which represented that he was a distinguished guest of the Bai people. In the Sage Desert, he would receive full support from the Bai people.
After getting the badge, Marvin did not hesitate and put it on directly.
After all, when you go out, you rely on friends. The Bai people are numerous and powerful, and they are scattered throughout the Sage Desert. You might need their help.
At least you can avoid taking a lot of detours.
There is also the Assassin's League. Most of them are also Bai people. Although the Assassin's League does not have a legendary strongman, several legendary assassins have left the Assassin's League, and there is still contact between the two sides.
These networks of relationships might come in handy at some point.
…
After a brief reunion, separation is natural.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Marvin took a ride with Hathaway again and rode the magic carpet at lightning speed to the top of the White Tower wizard's tower.
Hathaway still ignored the courtesy of the wizard of the White Tower and directly started the ultra-long-distance teleportation.
The two quickly returned to the Tower of Ashes.
"Actually, I have always had a question..."
At the top of the Tower of Ashes, just as Marvin opened his mouth, Hathaway suddenly said quickly: "I have another very important spell to study recently."
"If you don't have anything to do, don't run around."
"That's it."
In the blink of an eye, she quickly opened a door and ran away.
Marvin stood there in a daze, and finally gave a bitter smile.
What he actually wanted to ask was whether Hathaway had read page 6 of the Book of Naaru.
He cares about this very much.
But Hathaway acted so strangely that he didn't even have the chance to ask.
Now he had no choice but to leave the Tower of Ashes alone and return to the White River Valley.
…
Inside the Tower of Ashes, Hathaway lay quietly on the soft sofa alone.
Her eyes were bright, yet somewhat dazed.
"He must be wondering what that kiss meant?"
"I dodged it this time, how should I answer next time?"
"Ah... so annoying!"
The sixteen-year-old girl suddenly jumped up from the sofa.
She came to a secret room in the Tower of Ashes and lifted a red cloth.
On it was an old painting of a kind old lady.
"Mother……"
There was a trace of confusion in her eyes: "Why did the curse of the witch in Anzedi come true on me?"
"Why can my body only repeat itself at three broken points in time?"
"I thought everything would become clear after I became a legend. But now I am even more confused."
"I can't see the road ahead clearly..."
The painting naturally would not answer her.
After a while, she silently covered it with red cloth.
But no one noticed that at that moment, a tear seeped out of the corner of the old woman's eye in the painting.
Tears of the Witch of Anzedi.
…
Marvin hurried back to the White River Valley and confirmed that everyone was safe.
He secretly summoned Madeline and asked her to return to Riverside City.
What kind of twists and turns this process would take had nothing to do with him. He believed that even the kind-hearted Madeline could easily regain control of River Beach City.
After staying in the White River Valley for two days and learning that everything in the territory was going well, Marvin found another reason and left quietly.
Anna and others were helpless about this.
But they also believed that Marvin must have his reasons for doing this.
The only thing they can do is to build this territory well and protect it when Marvin is away.
Three days later, in the secret place of the Assassin's League, the Black Cave.
"My Lord, I wish you a safe journey."
A masked man in black said to Marvin respectfully, "His Excellency the High Priest has given instructions. You can enter the Black Cave at any time."
"But please be careful. The world underground is much crueler than the world above."
Marvin nodded slightly.
The next second, he dived into the pitch-black cave without looking back.
Faintly, he could hear the roar of a monster deep underground!
His blood began to boil slightly.
