“Marvin’s current situation is very worrying. And there is also that Fate Tablet in his body. Perhaps in such a situation, it’s normal not to trust easily.”
Copper Dragon Professor nodded. Those who were left had good relationships with Marvin, so they wouldn’t take offense.
But they were still very curious… After Wayne threw them out, what would happen next?
The answer was soon revealed.
All the powerhouses who were still watching the scene stared in shock as the unfathomable Sky Tower rose up!
The magnificent and imposing Wizard Tower actually started flying!
It pierced through the clouds and flew south at a crazy speed!
After a short thirty seconds, the busy inhabitants of White River Valley heard the sound of an explosion!
They raised their heads in alarm.
What they saw was a tall Wizard Tower appearing in the Sanctuary, right outside White River Valley’s location!
On top of the Wizard Tower, an eye shining like a radiant sun appeared! The sun shone over every corner of White River Valley!
A lot of dust was whirling around the Wizard Tower.
White River Valley’s guards became nervous. A few powerhouses that were now in the territory also waited for an opportunity to make a move. Under Madeline’s lead, they quickly gathered at the side of White River Valley that was closest to the tower.
They didn’t understand why this tower flew here and landed in White River Valley!
After all, from what their Lord Marvin had told them, nothing could enter the Sanctuary without his consent!
And what was going on with that light?
It felt even warmer and more reassuring than the light of the Source of Fire’s Order.
Anna quickly went to the front of the Wizard Tower when she heard the news.
When she saw the tower, her heart started pounding for some reason.
Marvin said that only what he allowed would be able to pass through!
‘Then this tower…’
As she thought about this, the dust gradually scattered.
A tall youth and a child came out, supporting each other.
Wayne’s face was still dusty, but his smile was beaming.
“Brother, we are home.”
Marvin nodded, and despite not being able to give much of an acknowledgement due to his weakened body, a huge wave of cheers echoed through White River Valley!
The Overlord was back! And so was Young Master Wayne!
To this territory’s inhabitants, this was the best news.
What they didn’t know was that the pale yellow radiance outside White River Valley would remain there for seven days – Absolute Sanctuary.
For the next seven days, Marvin and White River Valley were unlikely to be disturbed by anything that happened in the outside world.
For Marvin, seven days would be enough.

The return of Marvin and Wayne naturally created an atmosphere of joy in White River Valley.
After all, they knew that this time, Lord Marvin and Young Master Wayne had been participating in the struggle over the Fate Tablet.
And the focus of the struggle was the Sky Tower left behind by Lance!
Although they didn’t know the specific outcome, they had brought home the Sky Tower itself, so there was nothing to say.
The morale of White River Valley was soaring.
But at this time, Marvin gave a strange command.
Within seven days, no one was allowed to enter or exit White River Valley Sanctuary without his permission.
Those hunting parties that had been clearing away monsters outside were also summoned back by Marvin.
Although everyone felt strange about this, with Marvin’s prestige in White River Valley, they wouldn’t complain.
He was the owner of the Sanctuary, and he had the final say in everything in this territory.
It was just that only the top brass of White River Valley faintly understood that the situation wasn’t very good!
Anna was the one that was most aware of this.
After that spear thrust by the War God, Wayne’s Arcane Energy was in a state of backlash.
In that situation, he forcibly drove everyone away in order to protect Marvin. He then brought the Sky Tower to White River Valley, using Lance’s Power to cast Absolute Sanctuary for seven days!
Wayne knew of the temptation of the Fate Tablet.
He couldn’t give anyone the chance to sneak in.
Because of this Absolute Sanctuary, they would both have some time to rest and recuperate.
But Wayne had been injured too severely.
After some time, he could only remain in a half-comatose half-meditating state in the Sky Tower.
And Marvin’s situation wasn’t good either.
This was the gravest injury he had received so far.
The early release of the Magic Addict Shape made it hard for him to recover from many of his internal injuries. Even though two days later, Shadow Thief Owl came over to bring Daniela’s goodwill, a special secret medicine from Lavis Dukedom that had strong healing effects on the Cridland bloodline, the injury in Marvin’s body could only recover slowly.
The good news was that Marvin could tell that after these seven days, he should be much better.
At that moment, it would be time for him to implement his plan.
…
In these seven days, Marvin rarely had the time to relax completely.
He spent a lot of time dealing with government affairs with Anna, and from time to time he would check on the meditating Wayne or pay a visit to the chief of financial affairs. Lola’s card skills deeply impressed Marvin. White River Valley’s people were always kind, including the Shas who had immigrated. They believed in Constantine and Marvin.
The only pity was that some had left White River Valley, like the pair of freaks who had always been quarreling in the Alchemy lab. Fidel apparently had met his love, Sasha, who had managed to regain her body, and they both went north. The Nameless Alchemist changed completely after some time with the Alchemy Box.
From a fancy and pretentious peacock, he turned into a silent, tired old man. Marvin heard from Anna that he had shouted a word, perhaps a name, while standing in a field at midnight.
That name had a very strange pronunciation and Anna couldn’t imitate it.
In any case, the presumably greatest Alchemist of all time left White River Valley after leaving a letter for Anna.
He said that he would be back one day, but he didn’t know when.
And there were also the Gnome brothers.
It seemed that the pair of Gnomes from another continent had already left when Marvin went to fight over the Fate Tablet.
Although they hated to part with the Mechanical Titan, things seemed very urgent. Perhaps they had been contacted by those from home.
From Butterfly’s previous matter, Marvin already had a faint guess.
This era might really create huge changes.
After the calamity, mankind survived, and would keep on surviving.
Regardless of how hard it was, this was something carved in all bloodlines: survival instinct.
…
Constantine and Sophie established the new Night Walker Headquarters in White River Valley.
After all, the northern fortress had already fallen and the venerable O’Brien had sacrificed his life. The newly appointed Night Walker Leader was Marvin.
When Constantine handed over the Eternal Night Paradise to Marvin, Marvin couldn’t help sighing, feeling wistful.
He was too familiar with this Artifact!
Eternal Night Paradise… It was his Artifact in his previous life as a Ruler of the Night. But back then, he hadn’t gotten it from O’Brien then, but from the corpse of a Lord of Hell.
Most likely, O’Brien had
already died in the game, but when it happened, he didn’t have time to hand the Night Monarch’s Artifact over to the future generation.
With the Eternal Night Paradise, Marvin’s strength once again improved and those two Legend Night Walkers settled in White River Valley for good.
Because of what would happen next, Marvin officially announced that Constantine was newly appointed as White River Valley’s Second Magistrate.
After Marvin left, Anna would act on Marvin’s behalf, and Constantine would be second in command.
After all, even though Marvin trusted Anna’s abilities completely, it would be good to have a Legend in the top brass to take care of problems that required more force.
Madeline was supervising River Shore City, and the Tomb Raider didn’t have suitable skills for managing a territory.
Isabelle recovered very quickly and seemed to have no ill will towards Wayne. These days, she was Marvin’s shadow, as usual.
Marvin had no idea how to deal with this girl.
The dedication of the Hammons was famous, but as he thought of the future, he had a headache.
Because it would be too dangerous, he could only do it on his own and couldn’t take anyone else with him.
‘We’ll see when it happens.’
…
4th day.
Marvin, who had been paying close attention to what was going on in the outside world, finally received an explosive piece of news:
This declaration stirred up a storm over the entire continent!
[The Three Northern Cities joined together with the Church of Dawn and Protection to formally establish their Dukedom!]
The Dukedom was named after the Rose Sword of the Valkyrie.
Eve herself became the first Great Duke of the Rose Dukedom, and Holy Paul, the son of the God of Dawn and Protection, became the first Supreme Pontiff. In the Three Northern Cities as well as the surroundings, the church’s influence began spreading.
On the day of the founding of the Rose Dukedom, Great Duke Eve made a declaration to all of Feinan:
[White River Valley’s Marvin is the destined Destroyer.]
[Anyone who obstructs the Rose Duke from eradicating Marvin will be viewed as a heretic and an enemy!]
Chapter 706: Leisure

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
For the low remaining Human population in Feinan, the news from the North was an absolute storm.
Most people felt shocked and startled, because as two of the few remaining large Human forces of Feinan, White River Valley and the Three Northern Cities hadn’t ever had any hostilities before.
And given the situation with the Gods descending soon, shouldn’t the two forces join hands and work together?
This was the most confusing thing for the people.
Naturally, the clever ones could see that the northern side seemed to be preparing for the Gods’ descent in their own way.
Eve took a strong stand on the side of the God of Dawn and Protection, making his son the first Supreme Pontiff. This already explained a lot.
And everyone already knew that Marvin’s relationship with the Gods was like fire and water.
This youth from White River Valley had been provoking the Gods over and over with a bold attitude.
He apparently never had learnt what respecting a God meant.
Even when the frightening Great Calamity began, he was the first to stand up and slaughter the first person to publicly make an attempt to ascend to Godhood since the 3rd Era.
Under such an explanation, the falling out between the North and the South seemed clear.
But only a few people knew about the secrets behind Eve’s decision.
Marvin wasn’t included among these people.
But since the fight at the Sky Tower, he knew that Eve had become his enemy.
He didn’t know the reason; he only needed to know what the current situation was.
The North decided to join forces with the Astral Sea. This was something that never happened in the game.
It was clear that this even happened specifically because of Marvin’s transmigration. And there had already been many other things in this life that had diverged from the events of the game.
It was thoroughly different.
Thus, Marvin couldn’t use his original experience to handle everything.
He calmly accepted Eve’s announcement, but during these days, White River Valley didn’t react to the announcement.
Because of the existence of the Absolute Sanctuary, apart from a few people that Marvin approved, no one could enter White River Valley.
People were very curious. What kind of attitude would the tyrannical Marvin use to confront Eve’s war declaration?
From what Anna had learnt, the Three Northern Cities were in the process of clearing out the monsters in the surroundings on a large scale. This would allow the area to be safer when most of the army left.
After that, they would dispatch an army and attack White River Valley, their most important target being Marvin.
Whether the information was true or not, one declaration was enough to make everyone in White River Valley feel very tense.
Was that a joke?!
That newly established Rose Dukedom threatened to kill the Lord of White River Valley? The great hero that kept saving mankind?
White River Valley’s inhabitants disagreed right away!
And those who moved to White River Valley later were the same.
Because in terms of their best interests, they and Marvin could be said to be on the same boat.
When the declaration came out, many people started cleaning their weapons, making their preparations for the upcoming war.
But what they didn’t know was that the protagonist who was the target of this was leisurely strolling in the corners of White River Valley.
…
“Your [Seducer] is hiding a [Black Sheep], am I wrong?”
In a cabin in the Northern Mine, a strange trio was gathered around a deck of cards.
Lola, who hadn’t craftily smiled like that for a long time, pointed at the card in Marvin’s hand, ultimately announcing his death sentence.
Marvin smiled awkwardly and then nodded.
He was truly not on the same level as that crafty girl in this card game.
He had never thought that the girl he saved from the Gnolls would one day play such an important role in White River Valley.
And despite all that she went through, she was still the same crafty and talkative girl.
She was wearing her favorite checked skirt and still liked to bully the small halfling. She liked to use lots of tricks when playing her card game. At the same time, she also controlled the finances of White River Valley.
A lot of people would have a hard time connecting the two together, but in Marvin’s eyes, Lola was Lola, and she was the same as before.
This felt very pleasant.
Since he transmigrated, he always had to hurry around, to the point that he lost contact with many friends.
But in the end, there had been many people supporting him from behind. Anna was one of them, and Lola was another.
…
“You really have no opinion?”
Lola gently put the cards away, and then blinked as she looked at Marvin. “Although I know nothing about battle, the matter this time sounds pretty serious.”
The halfling on the side nodded vigorously.
Like everyone else, they were worried about Marvin, Wayne, and White River Valley.
Fighting was something most people were afraid of.
Marvin shook his head gently and smiled. “Nothing to worry about.”
Lola snorted, “With my understanding of you, when you say these words, you usually go off and try to deal with everything on your own.”
Marvin laughed out loud and didn’t confirm or deny anything.
Wayne was still half asleep in the Sky Tower.
Constantine and Sophie had already returned and were dealing with the new headquarters of the Night Walkers. White River Valley also officially signed their alliance agreement with Rocky Mountain.
Apart from the Migratory Bird Council, whose attitude was still outside their grasp, the South seemed to be united.
Because the leader of Thousand Leaves Forest was Marvin’s close friend, there was no need to worry about this.
Thus, when looking at it as a normal war, Marvin didn’t have much to be afraid of.
In a war between the North and South, the South should be a lot more powerful.
But he didn’t want to start a war.
He didn’t want countless people dying because of him.
The only one Eve wanted to kill was him.
And with the matter of the Fate Tablet getting sorted out, there would be many more flies watching White River Valley because of Marvin.
The place Marvin swore to protect with his life was now in huge trouble because of him.
He had already thought of the obvious way.
That was to leave.
Lola was very clever and she already guessed that. But she didn’t expose him. She only probed while worrying about Marvin’s plans like he was an old friend going on an expedition.
But she knew she couldn’t stop Marvin, and the only one that could stop Marvin was still asleep in the Sky Tower.
“So, when are you going?” Lola winked, “Don’t deny that I’m right, I don’t think you would have taken the time to play with me otherwise, or to visit the others… Besides, White River Valley’s Overlord being missing isn’t anything new.”
Marvin blushed with shame.
He really seemed like someone that didn’t know how to manage his territory.
But facing Lola’s question, he still conscientiously answered!
“After the seven-day duration of the Absolute Sanctuary spell ends, I’ll leave.”

The Absolute Sanctuary would last 7 days, and Marvin only had 3 days left.
He had to personally settle this matter, settle this war.
And the only method was for him to leave.
