The carriage moved forward steadily.
Isabel was very weak. Although her potential was stimulated, it was obviously very difficult for her to leave Madeline's carriage with Marvin.
She overdrawn a lot for this.
Seeing the haggard and stubborn look of the little girl, Ma Wen felt a pain in his heart.
This kid is really different.
He held her in his arms, and asked Isabel about her experience in a low voice. The latter took her time and told about what happened after parting with Marvin.
…
After Marvin single-handedly wiped out the Akron gang, Isabel also got a sum of money.
She was going to use the money to save her mother's life. However, the result backfired.
In the end, her mother was unable to wait for the priest of the Silver Church's divine spell. When Isabel took the young priest's hand and ran all the way, she had already swallowed her breath in the small slum.
"When she died, a group of people rushed in. If the pastor hadn't protected me, I'm afraid I would have been snatched away by them too."
"All the money you gave me was taken away by them, saying that it was my mother's debt to them during her lifetime. This is impossible. My mother never owed anyone money before her death."
"The young pastor can't do anything about it either. Those people are very powerful and belong to another gangster. He kindly offered to help my mother be buried—in that shabby cemetery, but I refused. "
"I want to get some money to give my mother a better funeral and burial place."
The girl's tone was calm, but the content of the narration became more and more shocking:
"About this time, there was a man in the ghetto, many years older than me. He was drunk and tried to grab me. I didn't know what he wanted. So I started to fight."
"I killed him with the dagger you gave me."
"It was the first time I killed someone and it didn't feel disgusting. I got money from him."
"At that time, I suddenly realized that killing people can get money."
"So I started killing people."
Her crimson eyes began to flicker, and there was no fluctuation on the girl's delicate face.
Killing people seemed to be a very common thing for her.
Marvin shook his head silently.
"It's wrong to kill," interjected the priest nearby.
"I paid for the car." Marvin glared at him. The latter shrugged and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
…
Afterwards things were lackluster. Isabel, who was already full of talent, quickly became a duck to water in the slums.
It was hard for Marvin to imagine how this six-year-old girl transformed into a terrifying killer under the pressure of cruel reality.
She kills by killing. Kill gang members and save a fortune. Her mother was eventually buried.
Then she encountered the Great Rectification of River Beach City. Madeline took Isabel's fancy and brought her back to her wizard tower, preparing to train her as a personal maid—and a real assassin.
In the wizard tower, there is even a third-tier assassin as her mentor. Obviously, Madeline also saw Isabel's talent.
It's just that she may not know what the crimson eyes mean.
…
The task he had done in his previous life came to Marvin's mind. He was deeply impressed by the boy who rushed madly into the sea of fire to die with the enemy—like Isabel, that boy also had a pair of crimson pupils.
Killing seems to be the fate of people of this race.
They are born assassins, inheritors of Shar's will, and there is a trace of the power of the ancient gods in their blood, which makes them unique since childhood.
They called themselves "Harmon people", three hundred years ago. People of this race inhabit the northern island of Harmon. Little contact with the outside world.
But by accident, a huge wizard family took a fancy to the favorable terrain of Harmon Island. Ready to develop it. This naturally encountered strong resistance from people of this race.
The two sides fought a terrible and bloody battle, and finally the Harmons were slaughtered by witchcraft, leaving only a few people living outside.
After that battle, the wizard family was also seriously injured, and could only barely occupy Harmon Island and the original fief, and its development was not as good as before.
The reason is also very simple, the Harmons are born assassins, and their threat to wizards is unprecedented.
For example, Isabel, a mere six-year-old girl, has mastered the ability to freely come and go in and out of the carriage solidified with fourth-order wizard spells!
In that battle, that powerful wizard family also lost too many masters.
From then on, the Harmons almost withdrew from the stage of Feinan's history, and a few popped up occasionally. Once they encountered that wizard family, they would take endless revenge; and later, those who had the blood of the Harmons would also Gradually forget all this.
Even among the god-level players in the previous life, not many people know about this period of history.
Marvin happened to be one of them, and he participated in a mission called [Revenge of the Harmons]. In that mission, he teamed up with that Harmon friend and directly blew up Harmon Island!
There are simply countless wizards who died in his hands. But that Harmon boy killed more than twice as many wizards as Marvin who was the master of the night!
You know, that boy is only of the fourth rank.
If advanced legend... His strength is simply unimaginable!
Marvin has seen some records that it is very difficult for Harmons to advance to legend, and many of them are stuck at the fourth level; occasionally, those who show signs of being about to advance to legend will be tripped and killed by the shadow prince—Harmon He was the easiest person to replace his god position, so Marvin even suspected that the conflict between the wizard family and Harmon Island was also provoked by that bastard in the middle.
Marvin clearly remembered that after the Harmons advanced to Legendary, they would definitely obtain a super Legendary Specialty—[Infinite Flash]!
This ability is so much stronger than the astral creature [Void Shining] with similar talents.
The only flaw is that the Harmons are prone to bloodthirsty, and they can easily take the lives of others, which can easily lead to their indifference to life.
Marvin also kills, but he loves life.
But in Isabel's eyes. What Marvin saw was pure indifference.
This gave him a great headache.
…
"Don't worry, since we met again this time. Just follow me."
"I won't let Madeline snatch you away from me."
Marvin gently stroked Isabel's hair and said in a low voice.
The latter nodded slightly, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Double Sword Mask, I don't know your name yet?"
"Mask of Two Swords is Baron Marvin of the White River Valley, everyone knows that." The priest interrupted again.
Marvin gave him a blank look, as a tacit consent.
Isabelle said "Oh".
It seemed to her that it didn't matter whether Marvin was a double mask or not.
The only thing that matters is that she remembers the name.
In fact, when she was beaten by those two hooligans that day. When Ma Wen showed up and dealt with them incomparably swiftly, she secretly remembered all this in her heart.
For this extremely precocious girl, no one had ever reached out to her like Marvin that day before.
She remembered everything Marvin had said—she even remembered the way he threw the dagger at her and said with a smile:
"Here, Miss Isabel, tonight. We have a common enemy."
At that time, she made an unknown oath in her heart.
Her world was originally gray, but because of this oath, it suddenly became more colorful.
"Double Saber Mask, White River Valley, Baron Marvin..."
She looked at Marvin deeply, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her heart.
Marvin sighed. In his mind, however, he began to think about how to deal with Madeline.
Who knows at this moment. The pastor said suddenly, "Someone is coming in. If you don't want her to come in, you have to pay more."
In an instant, a random door appeared in the center of the carriage.
Madeline!
Marvin's eyelids twitched, and his heart turned sharply.
However, at this moment, the middle-aged priest suddenly stretched out his hand, pushed gently, and actually closed the arbitrary door.
"The first time you close the door, it's free," he said.
Marvin was dumbfounded by this light and heavy movement!
This guy…
To actually close Madeline's random door without any hassle
What kind of strength is this
"etc… "
Marvin stared at the priest in front of him, and finally remembered: "Are you Lord Collins?"
The middle-aged priest nodded calmly: "There are still eight seconds before the door opens, Madeline looks very angry."
White Robe Collins!
The most powerful person in River Beach City of the Silver Church, a fourth-rank quasi-legendary magician!
Marvin had been paying attention to Isabel's state just now, but he didn't realize that Isabel had flashed into the lord's carriage with him!
This guy doesn't have the demeanor of a strong man at all, and he looks desperate for money, which is inevitable to be ignored.
"How much does it cost to keep her from coming in?" Marvin asked quickly.
Collins thought for a while and said, "It's quite expensive."
"The priority mining right for half of the gold mine. The scale is not smaller than the one found in the north of River Beach City." Marvin rolled his eyes and opened his mouth.
Collins looked Marvin up and down, a little suspicious: "Is there a gold mine in your territory?"
"It will be soon." Marvin said calmly, "One month at most."
"Deal." Collins smiled slightly, and pushed any door that had just been opened.
Madeline's roar came from outside: "Collins, you bastard! What are you doing?!"
"Let my old lady in!"
…
"You have to tell me where the gold mine is first." Collins stared at Marvin seriously.
Marvin responded: "Under the ass of a bunch of ogres..."
Collins' eyes widened for a moment, and he immediately opened the door, preparing to invite Madeline in!
Marvin said immediately: "Give me three minutes, three minutes will be fine."
"Don't try to deceive an honest businessman." Collins warned: "I will help you block for three minutes in exchange for the priority mining rights of the gold mine you said."
"make a deal!"
Marvin grabbed a piece of parchment from the Void Conch, and then wiped his finger with a machete.
Brushing, he began to write something on the parchment.
