  …

  The cart was quite spacious.

  It could be seen that this place had been remodeled by Madeline. The inside had been expanded at least five times.

  Her carriage was divided into multiple rooms, and Marvin faintly made out signs of alchemy.

  This was a mobile laboratory!

  Marvin sat on a velvet sofa, yet didn’t feel the summer heat.

  There was definitely a [Cold Air] enchantment. Marvin took a rough look at this luxurious carriage and could see the idea behind it.

  ‘The cost must be considerable…’

  Marvin was envious.

  In this Wizard Rule Era, Wizards really possessed resources that were far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

  This carriage’s cost… Even if the entire White River Valley was sold, it would still not be enough to afford it.

  “Want a drink?” Madeline’s voice echoed from a room.

  Marvin didn’t have to answer before Madeline suddenly came out of that room.

  She had a bottle of red wine and an empty cup in her left hand, and a cup of wine in her right hand!

  She brought the cup of wine to her lips and sensually played with it while flames slowly covered her sensual and curvy body.

  The wine slowly entered her mouth as the flames started raging.

  The seething flames looked like they wanted to engulf Marvin.

  Marvin shivered and suddenly closed his eyes!

  Purple hair… Flames… Abyssal bloodline…

  Everything fit together.

  Wayne’s vision!

  Marvin suddenly felt that his decision to get on the carriage was a bit careless.

  “Are you afraid?”

  Madeline walked over, looking magnanimous. She put down the wine and cups and sat down, cross legged while looking at Marvin.

  “It’s a long trip, aren’t you bored?”

  “Or… You aren’t a man? Let me see your reaction…”

  Madeline sensually laughed.

  Suddenly, she threw herself at Marvin.

  …

  But, at that time, something flashed in Marvin’s mind.

  He suddenly felt a hot sensation in his chest.

  It was the ornament, Vanessa’s gift!

  ‘Damn, an illusion!’ Marvin cursed inwardly.

  He suddenly understood and hurriedly took out the Holy Grail!

  With the Holy Grail in his hand, an extremely calming sensation spread through his body. He broke away from Madeline’s illusion in an instant.

  This was one of the Holy Grail’s powerful properties.

  Resistance to illusions of Legend level or less.

  Marvin opened his eyes only to see Madeline wearing a sexy nightgown, coldly watching him.

  Seeing the Holy Grail appearing, she smiled, “You finally took it out.”

  Then Marvin felt his hand become lighter as the Holy Grail unexpectedly left it.

  Grab!

  An invisible force wrapped around the Holy Grail and brought it to Madeline’s hand.

  That was her true goal!

  Using an illusion to put Marvin on guard and thus forcing him to subconsciously rely on the Holy Grail to escape the plight.

  Marvin was startled. Maybe she didn’t plan to keep the Holy Grail, but at least for this expedition, she wouldn’t return it to Marvin!

  ‘Can’t let her snatch the Holy Grail.’

  Marvin’s reaction was very fast.

  He suddenly ruthed toward Madeline, Burst!

  “Bang!”

  A powerful force suddenly sent Marvin flying!

  He was pushed against the carriage wall, his body twisted!

  Madeline held the Holy Grail while smiling. She looked at Marvin’s painful appearance and licked her lips, “I do want to eat you now.”

  “But before I settle the problem of the Scarlet Monastery, you’ll have to stay patient.”

  “Be at ease, I’m only borrowing your Holy Grail. You don’t need to participate in this fight, you can do what you want in this carriage, or you can also take a nap.”

  “Wait for me to return victorious…”

  Madeline was very pleased with herself.

  Fury flashed through Marvin’s eyes.

  This woman had no sense of honor. Both sides had clearly came to an agreement, but how could he have expected her to change her mind!

  As expected from the Abyssal bloodline… No wonder Hathaway told him to be vigilant.

  Fortunately, he still had a card to play!

  Marvin’s expression became calm.

  After he obtained the Holy Grail, and before he left the Three Ring Towers, he had Hathaway ask a Wizard from the Craftsman Tower to add a minor enchantment.

  This was a temporary enchantment which only lasted three months. But it would always be active during those three months.

  This enchantment was called [Return to Rightful Owner]!

  Within three months, even if someone stole Marvin’s Holy Grail, he only needed to chant an incantation and the Holy Grail would automatically return to his hand!

  Unless the other side was a Legend.

  But Madeline wasn’t, she was a Half-Legend. A level 20 Wizard.

  She couldn’t impede this enchantment.

  …

  Marvin said in a low voice, “Since it’s like that, can you let me go?”

  Madeline took a surprised glance at Marvin.

  She thought Marvin would still flip out. Her Calm and Sleep spells were already ready. But Marvin’s reaction was surprisingly composed.

  “Didn’t you cheat me into getting in your carriage for the Holy Grail?” Marvin looked her in the eyes.

  “Now that the Holy Grail is in your hand. Isn’t it meaningless for me to stay here?”

  Madeline rolled her eyes. “No. For your safety, I think you should still stay in the relatively safe carriage.”

  “I know of your Legend friends. I dare not let you die at my side.”

  ‘House arrest?’

  Marvin sneered. He now had some understanding of Madeline.

  This City Lord was really not that easy to control.

  He had to think of a way to leave this carriage.

  Unfortunately, the carriage was completely sealed, locked by magic. Unless Marvin could use Blink or Vanish, he wouldn’t be able to escape at all.

  ‘Looks like I can only risk it.’

  He already thought of something.

  But an unexpected person appeared just as he was about to act.

  …

  A little girl walked out from another room of the carriage.

  The girl was very young, her eyes were crimson and she had a vacant expression. She slowly walked over dressed like a maid.

  Marvin’s pupils shrank.

  Madeline didn’t notice this change. She handed the Holy Grail to that girl and told her, “Put it away.”

  The girl whispered a “yes,” turned around and walked toward the back.

  She didn’t even glance at Marvin.

  But Marvin suddenly asked, “How is your mother?”

  Silence suddenly appeared in the carriage. A bad feeling suddenly appeared in Madeline’s chest.

  Marvin’s sentence seemed irrelevant. Only he and the little girl understood!

  Isabelle.

  Marvin still clearly remembered that name. The deep red irises along with her bold stubborness in the face of overbearing bullying.

  This was something very rare for a 6 year old little girl.

  Isabelle suddenly raised her head. She heard Marvin’s voice!

  She reacted very quickly, “This item is yours?”

  “Isabelle!” Madeline shouted in a stern voice before pointing at the girl!

  She instantly cast a Bind to catch that girl.

  Marvin was worried, but he soon relaxed.

  Because the girl suddenly disappeared!

  Madeline’s Bind missed.

  Isabelle appeared next to Marvin and the Holy Grail on
ce again returned to Marvin’s hands.

  “Mom died,” she said.

  “The money you gave me was also taken away by bad guys.”

  …

  “That’s how you thank your benefactor!?”

  Madeline angrily looked at Marvin store away the Holy Grail in the Void Conch once again.

  Even if she stole the Void Conch, she couldn’t get the things inside.

  Storage items could self-destruct and her way of handling things wouldn’t work..

  Isabelle calmly said, “Sir Masked Twin Blades is my benefactor.”

  “Lady City Lord, you aren’t.”

  “I’m grateful for you sheltering me. But you’re not my benefactor. You simply want to train me into one of your weapons.”

  “I’ll give back what I owe you. Your training did help me uncover my gift. As for today… Sorry.”

  She then grabbed Marvin’s hand under Madeline’s furious gaze and the two disappeared from the carriage together!

  …

  In a carriage that was even more luxurious, a middle-aged Priest was sitting upright. The entire carriage was completely deserted.

  Suddenly, two shadows appeared in the carriage.

  The middle-aged Priest opened his eyes, only to see a young man and a little girl.

  Isabelle’s body suddenly turned limp. Marvin helped her up. She was sweating!

  It was clear that using this kind of mystical secret skill was too much of a burden for a young child.

  “You…” The Priest suspiciously looked at Marvin.

  “We will pay,” Marvin concisely said, conveniently giving the Priest a wizard gold.

  He knew that this was enough for Priest of the Silver Church.

  As expected, the latter immediately stopped talking.

  His gaze focused on Isabelle who was almost unconscious.

  Marvin hadn’t expected that the girl who never showed up to his territory would be in Madeline’s carriage.

  ‘As expected, she was a descendant of that bloodline…’

  ‘That group of people hailed as [Innate Assassins] in the myths…’

  The carriage was steadily moving forward.

  Isabelle was very weak. Even though her potential had been unlocked, leaving Madeline carriage while bringing Marvin was obviously very taxing.

  She had overworked herself too much.

  Marvin looked at the pale stubborn little girl and felt pained.

  This child was truly too outstanding.

  He carried her in his arm and and gently asked her what she went through. The latter slowly recounted what had happened to her since they parted ways.

  …

  After Marvin single-handedly annihilated the Acheron gang, he gave her some money.

  She was about to use this money to save her mother’s life. But things didn’t go as expected.

  Her mother wasn’t able to hold on until Isabelle brought a Priest of the Silver Church. She had already died in her small slum house.

  “When she died, a man suddenly rushed in. If not for the Priest protecting me, I might have already been taken away.”

  “They stole all the money you gave me, saying my mother owed them a debt when she was alive. This was simply impossible. My mother never owed anyone money.”

  “The young Priest didn’t have a solution. Those people were very powerful, it was another gang. He kindly offered to help me bury mom, in that lousy cemetery. I refused.”

  “I wanted to get money to properly bury my mother.”

  The girl’s voice was very calm, but the story became more and more frightening.

  “Roughly at the same time, there was a man in the slum a lot older than me. He drunkenly tried to catch me for reasons I ignored, so I fought back.”

  “I used the dagger you gave me to kill him.”

  “This was my first kill. But I didn’t feel very disgusted. I got money from his body.”

  “That was when I suddenly realized that killing was a good way to make money.”

  “Thus, I started killing.”

  Her two crimson eyes began to blink. There wasn’t any change in the girl’s expression.

  Killing, it seemed to be something very casual to her.

  Marvin shook his head in silence.

  “Killing is bad,” the Priest to the side interrupted.

  “I paid the transportation fees.” Marvin glanced at him. The latter shrugged and closed his eyes to rest.

  …

  There wasn’t much to say about what happened next. The originally gifted Isabelle soon became like a fish in water in the muddy slums.

  Marvin had trouble imagining how a 6 year old little could transform into a frightening killer under the pressure of cruel reality.

  She managed to get enough money to bury her mother by killing gang members.

  Later, she was found and fancied by The River Shore City Lord during the city’s reorganization. She was brought back to the Wizard’s tower and was trained as a maid, and a true Assassin.

  In the Wizard’s tower, there was even a 3rd rank Assassin acting as her teacher. Madeline clearly saw through Isabelle’s talent.

  But she might have not known the meaning behind those crimson eyes.

  …

  A quest he did in his past life flashed in Marvin’s mind. That boy crazily rushing into the enemy lines while recklessly killing left a deep impression. And like Isabelle, that boy also had a pair of crimson eyes.

  Killing might be the fate of that race.

  They were Innate Assassins, the successors of Shar’s will. They had a trace of the Ancient God’s power in their blood. This power made them stand out from the masses right from their birth.

  They claimed to be “Hammons”. Three hundreds years ago, this race lived in the island of Hammon in the north and had very little contact with the outside world.

  But something unexpected happened and a great Wizard clan was attracted by the favorable terrain on Hammon Island, and intended to develop it. The inhabiting race naturally strongly resisted.

  Both sides fought a frightening bloody battle and ultimately, the Hammons were wiped out by magic, with only a few of them left alive because they had been away.

  And that Wizard clan also greatly suffered after that battle and could only barely manage to occupy Hammon Island and their original territory. The development wasn’t too good.

  The reason was very simple: Hammons were Innate Assassins, they were an unprecedented threat to the Wizards.

  Isabelle for example was merely a 6 year old little girl, but she knew a skill that could let her enter and leave a carriage enchanted by a 4th rank Wizard.

  In that battle, the Wizard lost too many experts.

  Ever since then, Hammons had disappeared from Feinan’s history, only coming out occasionally. And if they met people from that Wizard clan, they would carry out their revenge. Later on, those who had the Hammon bloodline gradually forgot all of that.

  There weren’t many God Players who knew about this part of history.

  Marvin just happened to be one of them. He had participated in a quest called [Hammons’ Vengeance]. In that quest, he had to join hands with a Hammon ally and directly bomb Hammon Island.

  Countless Wizards died by his hands, but that Hammon boy still killed twice as many Wizards as the Ruler of the Night Marvin!

  And that boy was only at the 4th rank.

  If he advanced to Legend… He would have been unimaginably powerful!

  Marvin had seen some records saying that it’s very difficult for Hammons to advance to Legends. Many of them would be stuck at the 4th rank. Occasionally some would show signs of advancing but they would be eliminated by the Shadow Prince. Hammons were the most likely people to replace his position as a god. Thus Marvin even had suspicions that the conflict between that Wizard Clan and the Hammons might h
ave been instigated by that bastard.

  Marvin knew that after Hammons advanced to Legend, they would gain a legendary specialty, [Boundless Blink]!

  This ability was stronger than that of the [Nether Lightning Spirit] from the Celestial Plane who could disappear to unknown places.

  The only flaw was that Hammons would easily become bloodthirsty. They could effortlessly end people lives, making them easily feel indifferent toward life.

  Marvin was equally murderous, but he loved life.

  And Marvin could see pure indifference in Isabelle’s eyes.

  This gave him a headache.

  …

  “Be at ease, since we met again, follow me.”

  “I won’t let Madeline get a hold of you,” Marvin softly said as he gently pet Isabelle’s head.

  The latter slightly nodded before suddenly asking, “Sir Master Twin Blades, I still don’t know your name?”

  “Masked Twin Blades is White River Valley’s Baron Marvin. Everyone knows.” That Priest interrupted once again.

  Marvin glanced at him and tacitly agreed.

  Isabelle exclaimed, “Oh.”

  From her expression, it seemed like Masked Twin Blades being Baron Marvin didn’t really matter.

  What mattered was to remember this name.

  In fact, she couldn’t forget the scene when she was beat up by the two hoodlums that day and Marvin appeared, and nimbly took care of them.

  For this precocious girl who was forced to grow up under dire circumstances, Marvin was the only person who had extended a helping hand.

  She remembered every word Marvin said. She even remembered how he gave her the dagger, and his smile as he said, “Hold on to it, Isabelle. We have a common enemy tonight.”

  At that time, she secretly pledged an oath in her heart.

  Her world was originally grey, but because of this oath, it became a bit more colorful.

  ‘Masked Twin Blades, White River Valley, Baron Marvin…’

  She deeply looked at Marvin, as if she wanted to carve his looks in her heart.

  Marvin sighed, thinking of a way to deal with Madeline.

  He hadn’t expected the Priest to suddenly say, “Someone wants to come in. If you don’t want her to come in, you’ll have to pay extra.”

  Suddenly, a Teleportation Portal appeared in the middle of the carriage.

  Madeline!

  Marvin’s eyelids twitched, his heart in chaos.

  But that middle aged Priest suddenly reached out with his hand and softly pushed on it, unexpectedly closing the Teleportation Portal.
