The words of the Grand Duke are obviously quite convincing.
His tone was very sincere, and Marvin could feel that he did not use any charm spells on himself.
Every word he said came from the heart.
[Diroth Cleland].
The name hovered in his mind like a spell.
The Grand Duke's face was slightly serious: "Have you really seen him?"
Marvin nodded slightly.
"Nine Hells."
The Grand Duke is silent. He propped his forehead hard, as if he was sorting out his thoughts: "Over the years, I have been working hard to find traces of him. It's just that he is very cunning. Although I have feelings for 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 Di Luosi's head. After all, we are soul twins."
"But I didn't stop it, because I felt that with my younger brother's talent, I was fully entitled to own it. But later, it seemed to develop to a bad side."
Marvin shook his head: "Maybe it's because with the passage of time, the power of the soul has gradually disappeared?"
The Grand Duke smiled and said nothing.
Ma Wen was a little embarrassed. He himself felt that these remarks were unreliable!
If the Grand Duke and his grandfather are soul twins, this talent will not disappear until death.
However, it was impossible for Ma Wen to completely believe that his grandfather was dead just based on the Grand Duke's few words.
In the Nine Hells, if it wasn't for his help, it would be difficult for Marvin and Ibrahimovic to get out of the predicament at that time.
Not to mention he gave Marvin two things.
However, now it seems that those two things also have a mysterious color.
If it is true what the Grand Duke said. So when I used the legion contract scroll, did I create a temporary gate to hell—or was it permanent
Marvin didn't know. He just felt that things had become a mess.
Originally, this legion contract was regarded as his trump card by him. It may come in handy at critical moments.
But now it seems that it is open to question.
At least to prove whether his grandfather is still alive—even if he is alive, what is the difference between him now and him back then
These are all things Marvin needs to figure out.
Thinking of this, he felt his head was as big as a bucket. One of the purposes of this trip to Lavis was to find out the identity of his grandfather.
Unexpectedly, what Grand Duke Jing said would seem even more confusing.
…
The Grand Duke gave Marvin a meaningful look, and suddenly stood up.
"Looks like you still have doubts. Let's go."
"I'll take you to meet someone."
The Grand Duke took Marvin through the reception room and into the depths of the castle.
Leaving the warm reception hall, the bonfire in the fireplace went away from the two of them. The coldness of the North has struck again.
When passing a time monument and water hourglass, Marvin glanced at the time.
January 10, 819 in the Wizarding Calendar. 10:08 a.m.
An exquisite ancient goblin master-level timing tool, very old, but precise, I didn't expect to see it here.
January 10th.
There are still six days left, which is the date when the gods will launch a cataclysm.
Marvin took a deep breath.
Regarding this news, it seems that some forces have already received it. The Southern Wizarding Union, on the other hand, still doesn't know anything about it.
It's no wonder that throughout the Cataclysm. The south is the most exaggerated disaster area, and the rule of the entire Wizarding Union has almost completely collapsed.
In this, there is naturally Mingfeng's credit.
Even the Principality of Lavis in the Northland is ready for the catastrophe, and the legendary wizards of the Southern Wizarding Union have no reason not to know.
There is only one possibility, everyone who knew about it left silently. They are not Mingfeng's opponents.
leftover. They are all poor worms who have been blinded by Mingfeng.
…
The two passed through many ancient buildings all the way and reached the depths of the castle.
Marvin observed. Although the castle in the White River Valley is crude, its casting style is exactly the same as this old castle.
Perhaps when Di Luosi built the castle, he designed it according to the place where he grew up.
In the deepest part of the castle is a frozen garden.
Although the Grand Duke looked old, his steps were still steady.
He took Marvin to the center of the garden step by step.
In the center of the garden, there is a cuboid lying there impressively. A large amount of snow covers its surface.
It was snowing heavily, even though Ma Wen was physically strong, he couldn't help but shudder.
Cold resistance does not mean that you will not be afraid of the cold from now on. What's more, the coldness here is even worse than other places in the Northland.
Under the gesture of the Grand Duke, Marvin stepped forward and gently wiped away the thick snow.
In the next second, his pupils dilated!
This is a crystal coffin!
He hurriedly wiped off all the snow, and what lay in the crystal coffin was a woman with an extremely delicate face.
She looked about thirty, extremely beautiful, with gentle brows, lying there quietly with a calm expression.
Marvin felt an inexplicable heartache at that moment.
It was as if someone had hit his heart with a hammer.
Needless to say, the Grand Duke, Marvin also knows who is lying here!
"He hasn't seen him for a long time."
Not far away, a figure appeared inexplicably, and walked to the side of the crystal coffin somewhat sadly.
"Master Xiao!" Marvin's body shook slightly.
Shadow Thief Xiao nodded.
He didn't pay much attention to Marvin, but instead looked affectionately at the woman in the coffin.
To be honest, a wretched old man will give people a sense of disobedience when he looks at a beautiful woman like this.
But Marvin felt nothing but swathes of heartache and grief.
He kind of believed what the Grand Duke said.
Perhaps his grandfather had really been devoured by the devil. It is also possible that the two have been assimilated into one.
Otherwise, how could he forget to see the woman he loves the most in his life
"Is this... my grandmother?"
Marvin looked at the woman in the coffin quietly.
"She's not dead yet," the Grand Duke said suddenly.
…
In the reception room, the atmosphere was still cold.
After seeing his grandmother's crystal coffin, Marvin's trust in the Grand Duke went up several levels.
For warlocks. There is no false connection in that kind of blood.
There is no need for the Grand Duke to deceive himself, let alone the Shadow Thieves testifying.
"Her name is Bea."
"Since she was like this. Di Luosi entrusted the Duke to protect her. And he himself began to frantically search for a chance to save her all over the world."
"Di Luosi is a genius, but when he is on the verge of despair, he is the easiest to become a madman."
"He used to come here secretly to see him every year. He thought I didn't know, but I've been hiding in the dark to watch him."
"He will put a thousand paper cranes made of ice and snow on her crystal coffin - it can only be stored for three minutes before disappearing into the air. Hehe, I didn't expect that, his origami skills are still behind me. superior."
Beside the warm fireplace, Xiao took a big sip of wine, his eyes were a little blurred: "But he hasn't appeared for many years."
"Later, the Duke told me that he had lost his sense of the imprint of Di Luosi's soul."
"Then I quietly went to the White River Valley. Your father and uncle didn't know about it. I found something very strange. He went to hell, but he didn't take the head of the Maharaja and the mystery of the ancestors. It was left to his direct descendants."
"But anyway, your grandfather is gone. I know you may have met him, but he..."
Speaking of this, Shadow Thief Xiao seemed to have no idea how to describe it: "Maybe, it may not be the real him..."
Marvin was silent.
He was also puzzled. If the grandfather is really under the bewitchment of the devil king. Made some crazy moves. But why not release the Maharaja's head
All these are unsolved mysteries.
The only thing worthy of Marvin's vigilance is his own grandfather. Might be a real problem.
He hesitated for a while, and finally took out the Hell Legion contract and the bottle of potion.
If it was only an uncle who had never met, he would not trust him so much.
But Shadow Thief Xiao, it's a completely different relationship.
This guy saved his own life. Marvin was willing to believe him.
The Grand Duke took the two things solemnly, looked at them carefully for a while, and showed a hint of doubt:
"There's nothing wrong with either of those things, there's no contractual loophole."
"This bottle of potion can help you break through the existing Warlock level without any side effects; and there is no problem with the Hell Legion contract."
He returned these two things to Marvin without any hint of greed.
All three were at a loss.
It seems that Di Luosi has no bad intentions towards Marvin.
Or, is he still plotting a bigger game
They really want to go to hell now, but unfortunately, in the current situation, everyone can't help themselves.
Except that the shadow thief is more free, behind Marvin is the White River Valley, and behind the Grand Duke, there is an unknown number of years of Numan blood and a well-known principality in the North!
They both carry too much on their shoulders to do as they please.
…
"Actually, I already knew 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 Grandfather Marvin and began to talk about another topic.
"But later, there were some problems with Lavis' inheritance, and I had to send Daniela to find you in the White River Valley."
"We need the head of the Demon Lord—to be precise, we need to use an ancient method to extract something from his head."
"Just like our ancestors did. There might be a little danger in it."
"But there will also be great benefits."
"However, before discussing this issue, what I want to ask you is: Do you want to marry Lavis' brightest pearl, your cousin—Daniela?"
The Grand Duke's gaze focused on Marvin: "She is a very talented child, and so are you. Your descendants will have immeasurable power."
"Answer me, Marvin. This is an important question."
