Chapter 148: Expected and Unexpected (2/2)
But he didn’t intend to give all that to the farmers yet, only giving them enough food to last through the winter.
Only by doing so would he increase their motivation to work. Marvin’s territory wouldn’t raise useless people.
He only left one golden bull in the castle’s granary.
He put the remaining 10 in the secret path below the castle, so no one should know about them.
...
The next day, in the evening, a carriage arrived in White River Valley.
Under the castle, Marvin was there to welcome them in person.
There were four people in the carriage. The first to come down was the old blacksmith Sean.
The old man scowled and stopped to say, ”You don’t want to live Brat!?”
”Using yourself as a bait? That’s your idea!?”
After his outburst he directly walked toward the castle, not looking back.
Marvin was stunned.
The second person to come down was a handsome middle aged man. He looked at Marvin and extended his hand while displaying a calm smile.
”I am Constantine. Even though it’s the first time we’ve met, I have to say, you are really qualified to become my brother!”
”I was still annoyed at failing to catch that Crimson Patriarch last night, but then I heard such good news.”
”You are very brave. Be at ease, we will definitely succeed.”
Marvin nodded.
He naturally knew that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was one of the three most powerful people in the Night Walker organization!
A Legend Night Walker!
It was said that his level was approaching 30, level 10 Ranger and level 18 Night Walker. His level was higher than that of the Elven Prince Ivan.
This middle-aged man was the most important person in the attack on the Crimson Patriarch.
The third person was a Great Druid.
But what surprised Marvin was that this Great Druid was actually a woman.
”Thank you for your hospitality.” She seemed very courteous. ”I am Endless Ocean, but you can call me Nicole.”
Endless Ocean!
Surprise flashed through Marvin’s eyes. It was actually one of the future Four Legend Druids of the north, Endless Ocean!
This was a pleasant surprise. Marvin hadn’t been to the north much and also hadn’t met many Druids. Nevertheless, Endless Ocean’s reputation was still very amazing.
However, she became famous in battle because she eliminated a god’s avatar on the Thunder Mountain. That was obviously after the Great Calamity.
The current Endless Ocean should still be a very low-key Great Druid.
‘But her strength should already be more or less what it was at that time! For the Crimson Patriarch to manage to escape from that kind of line-up, he really must have had many life saving things.’
Marvin sighed in his heart. Fortunately he had made proper preparations and also knew some things about the Crimson Patriarch.
...
The fourth person was Sean’s daughter, Jane.
”Father is just a bit worried about you. He told me a lot of things last night. I wasn’t able to react at all.”
Jane softly continued, ”I always felt curious about father’s mysterious background. In fact, I should thank you. If not for you doing something so amazing, he would have never told me anything.”
”Well, I actually don’t know how troublesome that bad guy is, but with Uncle Constantine making a move, it must definitely be a super strong bad guy.”
”I hope your plan will succeed!”
Marvin nodded and got some people to find a good place for the carriage and went inside the castle with the four.
But suddenly, Constantine and Endless Ocean stopped walking at the same time!
They abruptly turned and looked far into the distance.
Marvin heart sank, this… Could the Crimson Patriarch already be there?
He wouldn’t be that fast, right?
It had only been a day since information started spreading, it couldn’t have spread to Jewel Bay yet!
He also subconsciously turned to look.
Far in the distance, two carriages were quickly approaching.
Farmers were curiously raising their heads to look at the carriages as they worked.
White River Valley was rarely this lively. It had so many people paying a visit today!
...
The carriage stopped under the castle.
”Wayne! Why did you come back!?”
This was something outside of Marvin’s calculations.
”What? Don’t tell me we aren’t welcome?” A familiar sweet voice of a woman voiced echoed from the carriage.
Marvin froze for a moment.
That woman leisurely stepped out from the cart, showing a surprised expression. ”Oh, you have a lot of guests today!”
Ashes Tower’s Master, Hathaway!
The corner of Marvin’s eye faintly twitched. Hathaway’s presence in this place meant one thing for certain.
She had already advanced to Legend!
‘I didn’t expect the Book of Nalu to be this effective!’
Marvin was extremely amazed.
But what happened next shocked him even more.
There were two other people coming out from the carriage.
Marvin also knew these two people!
He was left completely speechless.
Legend Monk Inheim!
Along with that Shadow Thief who had fought the Red Dragon back in Tornado Harbor!
