Volume 3 New World Chapter 114: Confusing
The Grand Duke's words were obviously quite convincing.
His tone was very sincere, and Marvin could sense that he had not used any charm spells on him.
Every word he said came from the heart.
【Delos Cleland】.
The name hovered in his mind like a spell.
The Archduke's face was slightly serious: "Have you really seen him?"
Marvin nodded slightly.
"Nine Hells."
The Grand Duke was silent. He held his forehead tightly, as if trying to sort out his thoughts: "Over the years, I have been working hard to find traces of him. But he is very cunning. Although I can sense him, he can still block my perception of him."
"I only know that he is still in this world. In fact, I knew that he wanted to take away Diloth's head. After all, we are twin souls."
"But I didn't stop him because I felt that my brother was fully qualified to have it given his talent. But later on, things seemed to be developing in a bad direction."
Marvin shook his head: "Perhaps with the passage of time, the spiritual energy of the soul has gradually disappeared?"
The Duke smiled but said nothing.
Ma Wen was a little embarrassed. He himself felt that this statement was not credible!
If the Grand Duke is really a twin soul of his grandfather, this innate spiritual power will never disappear until his death.
However, it was impossible for Marvin to completely believe that his grandfather .
In the Nine Hells, if he hadn't helped, it would have been difficult for Marvin and Ibrahimovic to escape from the predicament they were in.
Not to mention he gave Marvin two things.
However, now it seems that those two things also have a mysterious color.
If it was true as the Grand Duke said, then when he used the Legion Contract Scroll, what he created was a temporary gate to hell—or was it permanent?
Marvin didn't know. He just felt that things had become a mess.
Originally, he regarded this legion contract as a trump card, which might come in handy at a critical moment .
But now it seems that this is debatable.
At least he had to prove whether his grandfather was still alive - even if he was alive, what was the difference between him now and he was then?
These are all things Marvin needs to figure out.
When he thought of this, he felt overwhelmed. One of the purposes of coming to Lavis was to find out the identity of his grandfather.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what the Grand Duke said, the situation became even more confusing.
…
The Grand Duke looked at Marvin meaningfully and suddenly stood up.
"It looks like you still have doubts. Let's go."
"I'll take you to see someone."
The Grand Duke took Marvin through the reception room and came to the depths of the castle.
Leaving the warm reception hall, the bonfire in the fireplace faded away from the two of them. The cold of the north land came again.
Passing by a time marker and an hourglass, Marvin glanced at the time.
January 10, 819 of the Wizarding Calendar, 10:08 AM.
This is an exquisite timekeeping tool of the ancient goblin master level. It is very old, but accurate. I didn’t expect to see it here.
January 10th.
There are still six days until the gods launch the catastrophe.
Marvin took a deep breath.
It seemed that some forces had already received this news, but the Southern Wizard Alliance still knew nothing about it.
It is no wonder that during the entire catastrophe, the South was the hardest hit area and the rule of the entire Wizarding Alliance was almost completely overturned.
This is naturally due to the contribution of Ming Feng.
Even the Principality of Lavis in the north has prepared for the cataclysm, so there is no reason why the legendary wizards of the Southern Wizard Alliance would not know about it.
There is only one possibility, those who knew about it left quietly, because they were no match for Ming Feng.
The rest are just poor creatures who were deceived by the Dark Phoenix.
…
The two passed through many ancient buildings and arrived deep into the castle.
Marvin observed that although the castle in the White River Valley was simple, its casting style was exactly the same as this ancient castle.
Perhaps when Dilos built the castle, he designed it according to the place where he grew up.
At the deepest part of the castle is a frozen garden.
Although the Archduke looked old, his steps were still steady.
He led Marvin step by step towards the center of the garden.
In the center of the garden, there was a rectangular block lying there, with a large amount of snow covering its surface.
The snow was falling heavily, and even though Marvin was in strong physical condition, he couldn't help shivering.
Cold resistance doesn't mean you won't be afraid of cold anymore. Besides, the cold here is even colder than other places in the north.
At the Archduke's signal, Marvin stepped forward and gently wiped away the thick snow.
The next second, his pupils dilated!
This is actually a crystal coffin!
He hurriedly wiped away all the snow, and lying in the crystal coffin was a woman with an extremely delicate face.
She looked to be about thirty years old, extremely beautiful, with gentle brows, and she lay there quietly with a calm expression.
At that moment, Marvin felt an inexplicable heartache.
It was as if someone was hitting his soul hard with a hammer.
Without the Duke saying much, Marvin knew who was lying inside!
"He hasn't been to see him in a long time."
Not far away, a figure appeared inexplicably and walked to the side of the crystal coffin with some sadness.
"Lord Xiao!" Ma Wen's body shook slightly.
Shadow Thief Owl nodded.
He didn't pay much attention to Marvin, but instead looked at the woman in the coffin with deep affection.
To be honest, it always feels awkward to see a wretched old man looking at a beautiful woman like this.
But Marvin only felt a great deal of heartache and sadness.
He began to believe what the Archduke said.
Perhaps his grandfather had really been devoured by the devil. Or perhaps the two had merged into one.
Otherwise, how could he forget to come and see the woman he loves most in his life?
"Is this... my grandmother?"
Marvin looked quietly at the woman in the coffin.
"She is not dead yet," the Archduke said suddenly.
…
The atmosphere in the reception room was still cold.
After seeing his grandmother's crystal coffin, Marvin's trust in the Grand Duke increased several levels.
For warlocks, the blood connection is real.
There is no need for the Grand Duke to deceive himself, especially with Shadow Thief Owl as a witness.
"Her name is Bea."
"After she became like this, Dilos entrusted the Duke to protect her. And he himself began to frantically search the world for a glimmer of hope to save her."
"Dilros is a genius, but when he is on the verge of despair, he is most likely to become a madman."
"He used to come here secretly to see him every year. He thought I didn't know, but in fact I was always hiding in the dark to watch him."
"He would place a thousand paper cranes made of ice and snow on her crystal coffin. It could only be kept for three minutes before disappearing into the air. Hehe, you didn't expect that his origami skills were better than mine."
Beside the warm fireplace, Xiao took a big sip of wine, his eyes a little blurry: "But he hasn't appeared for many years."
"Later, the Duke told me that he had lost the ability to sense the mark of Diloth's soul."
"Then I secretly went to the White River Valley. Your father and uncle were unaware. I discovered something very strange. He went to hell, but he did not take the head of the great lord and the mystery of his ancestors with him. Instead, he left them to his direct descendants."
"But in any case, your grandfather is gone. I know you may have met him, but that him..."
At this point, Shadow Thief Owl seemed to have lost his way in describing it: "Maybe, it might not be the real him..."
Marvin was silent.
He was also confused. If his grandfather really did something crazy under the instigation of the devil king, why didn't he release the king's head?
All of this remains an unsolved mystery.
The only thing that should alert Marvin is that his grandfather might really have some problems.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally took out the Hell Legion Contract and the bottle of potion.
If it was just a great-grandfather he had never met, he wouldn't trust him so much.
But Shadow Thief Owl is another matter entirely.
This guy had saved his life. Marvin was willing to believe him.
The Duke took the two items with a serious look on his face, looked at them carefully for a while, and then revealed a trace of doubt:
"There is nothing wrong with either of these things, no contractual loopholes."
"This potion can help you break through your current warlock level without any side effects. There will also be no problems with the Hell Legion Contract."
He returned the two items to Marvin without showing any greed.
The three of them were confused.
It seemed that Di Luosi had no bad intentions towards Marvin.
Or is he still plotting a bigger scheme?
They really want to go to hell right now, but unfortunately, given the current situation, no one can control their own destiny.
Except for the Shadow Thief who is relatively free, behind Marvin is the White River Valley, and behind the Grand Duke is the Numan bloodline that has been passed down for who knows how many years and a famous principality in the North!
They all carry too much on their shoulders and cannot act spontaneously.
…
"In fact, I have known for a long time that the head of the Devil Lord is in the White River Valley."
"It's just that I never wanted to destroy him."
After a while, everyone broke away from the confusing incident of Marvin's grandfather and started talking about another topic.
"But later, there were some problems with Lavis's inheritance, so I had to send Daniela to the White River Valley to find you."
"We need the head of the Devil Lord - to be exact, we need to use an ancient method to extract something from his brain."
"Just like our ancestors did. There might be a little danger in this."
“But there will also be huge benefits.”
"However, before discussing this issue, I want to ask you: Do you want to marry the most dazzling pearl in Lavis, your cousin Daniela?"
The Archduke's eyes were fixed on Marvin. "She is a very gifted child, and so are you. Your descendants will have immeasurable power."
"Answer me, Marvin. This is an important question."
