In the reception room in the castleâs second floor.
A girl wearing a blue dress was calmly sitting by the window sill, as the sun shining through the window offered a look at the beautiful scenery of White River Valley.
âA very beautiful view isnât it?â A gentle voice echoed behind her.
A hint of a smile appeared on Bambooâs face.
âIâm sorry to have kept you waiting.â Marvin, who had changed into more formal clothes, slowly came over. âTo be honest, you really gave me a big surprise.â
âLife is always full of these kinds of surprises.â
She was still looking outside the window. âIt was the same when I was told by my clan last month that I had to marry a man I had never seen before.â
âI was also very surprised at that time. Even if I always knew I would become one of my clanâs chess pieces to consolidate their power, when the day came, I still panicked.â
Marvin walked past, unmoved. âThen why did you come?â
âApart from this, what else can I do?â
Bambooâs voice was very weak. It seemed helpless and it would make any man feel that she was pitiful.
Marvin silently looked at the willpower check in his logs and inwardly sighed.
âStarting with a mild charm, is it a probe?â He maintained a certain distance with Bamboo, leaning against the window sill.
âYou donât need to do so, as I have no knowledge of my grandfatherâs clan. Iâm not necessarily interested in accepting their arranged marriage.â
Marvin feigned indifference.
âSee, this is what I was the most afraid of.â Bamboo softly smoothed her hair, exposing her fair skin.
Marvin raised an eyebrow. Just from seeing her face from the side, he could see that she was a beauty from far away. She had charming eyes with long eyelashes, a special glint in her eyes.
He didnât know why, but Marvin actually felt sad. It really looked as if that woman was powerless against fate.
But when his eyes fell on her wrists, his heart immediately froze!
It was the extremely hot summer right now, so Bambooâs fair wrists were exposed.
On one was a light azure tattoo, a very pretty flower.
âThis is my clanâs tattoo, this must be your first time seeing it.â Bamboo playfully told Marvin, âMy mother once told me that she spent half a month to convince me to get the tattoo when I was a child.â
Clan tattoo?
Marvin sneered.
If he still didnât know the girlâs purpose now, he would be an idiot.
That tattoo was really rare.
Even most people in the Twin Snakes Cult might not necessarily be able to recognize it.
Itâs a pity that Marvin wasnât among those.
She was a subordinate of the Azure Matriarch.
Marvin quickly estimated the other sideâs strength and his heart sank. She was at least at the 4th rank.
This woman had come for revenge. But from the way she almost flawlessly told her story, her goal wasnât simply to kill him.
âShe should be trying to find clues from me and then follow it back to the other Legends.â
âI made a mistake. In the game, the Azure Matriarch woke up after the Great Calamity, when she finished training her Nine Head Snake Body.â
âBut the Crimson Patriarchâs death might have woken her up!â
Marvin quickly thought while staying polite on the surface. âYou must certainly be someone very difficult to convince.â
Bamboo gently smiled, âThis depends on who the other side is.â
She had a pure expression, carrying a bit of expectation. If Marvin didnât know who she really was, he really might have been deceived by her.
âYou are a lot better than I expected. At least it wasnât a wretched middle-aged man waiting for me. This was already very satisfying.â
As she gently approached Marvin, a strange smell filled Marvinâs mouth and nose.
Marvin had a wide smile on his face and abruptly sent power through his right hand, forcefully smashing down on Bamboo!
âI was seen through!â Bamboo was puzzled until the appearance of the killing intent.
Since she was seen through, she would attack!
But Marvinâs attacks had already arrived one after the other.
Itâs true that Divine Spells would be very powerful if she had enough time to prepare, but in the air, Marvinâs control over his body let him have the upper hand.
He quickly moved and kicked Bambooâs leg!
âBang!â
Bamboo Divine Spell was interrupted and she fell like a rock!
âThump!â The place where she fell was quite good, not far from Marvinâs calculations.
âClang!â
Not waiting for Bamboo to get up, Marvin briskly lifted the stone coffinâs lid and resolutely pushed it down.
Then he quickly locked it. The pitiful Bamboo didnât even get to use a Divine Spell and she was locked up by Marvin in the stone coffin!
Marvin jumped up and stepped on the coffin.
He solemnly looked to the side.
âŠ
Two dumbstruck men were standing next to the stone coffin.
Just two minutes ago, they were angrily debating something.
Even if Marvin was at the second floor, he could hear some things like, âAujissen Ritualâ, âSenma formulaâ and others.
The two were very noisily quarrelling, and were close to starting a real fight.
Then they saw this mystical scene: Marvin landing and Bamboo being locked up in a coffin.
âHold on⊠Marvin, what did you just throw in this coffin?â Necromancer Fidel gulped and asked in shock.
The other one was even more direct.
He was somewhat crazily pulling on his hair, shouting, âHeavens! You are an abnormal emotionless Overlord! You just threw a beauty in a coffin!â
âDo you have a special hobby?â
The turkey alchemist looked at Marvin with a âYou have an issueâ look on his face.
Marvin frowned, and was about to reply when an extremely shocked voice echoed behind him.
At that time, the stone coffin suddenly fiercely shook!
This shake nearly made Marvin lose his balance!
âŠ
âAnna, take a horse and go find Sean, tell him that the Azure Matriarchâs people arrived!â Marvin impatiently said.
âFidel, and Alchemist guy, do you have a way to send this coffin away from from the castle town?â
This was the Corpse Kingâs stone coffin, and it had some particular abilities.
It could be used to trap Bamboo, but it definitely wouldnât last long.
He had to shift the battlefield to a safer place.
âSure.â
âThatâs simple.â
Both coincidentally agreed.
Fidel used Float and the stone coffin slowly flew up.
The alchemist walked over with big steps and hinted at Marvin to come down. He took a metal coin from his pocket and asked, âWhich direction?â
Marvin immediately pointed south!
That was the direction of the White River.
âSo easy.â The alchemist lightly stuck the metal coin under the stone coffin and then proudly snapped his fingers.
âBang!â
A huge and powerful rune burst from under the coffin and the stone coffin flew out from the castle!
âCrash!â
âSplash!â
The people on the side were all watching with shock, and even Marvin was surprised by this skill for a moment.
âI am guilty!â the Alchemist said with extreme grief.
âI actually participated in the murder of such a beauty!â
âShe came to kill me,â Marvin said.
The Alchemistâs expression didnât change. âItâll be five Wizard golds to thank me for helping you when you were in a hurry. In consideration for Miss Anna, itâll be 20% off.â
âIâll have Anna write you a certificate of debt later.â Marvin sincerely patted the Alchemistâs shoulder. âThat little thing was really interesting.â
âThank you.â
Then Marvin suddenly sped up and rushed to the bottom of the castle.
âWhat are you going to do? Marvin?â Fidel loudly yelled.
âKilling,â Marvin simply answered.
âŠ
Looking at the back of Marvin leaving, the Alchemist displayed a disdainful expression. âKilling, killing again.â
âThe first time I saw him, he also hurriedly left to kill.â
âThis guy is simply a killing fanatic. Oh, telling you this is useless, you Necromancers are also killing fanatics.â
Fidel angrily retorted, âYou canât deny the entire group because of the extreme actions of a few Necromancers.â
âAs far as I know, there are quite a lot of peace loving Necromancers!â

âPeace!?â The Alchemist exaggeratedly laughed. He wanted make a snappy comeback, when suddenly, a loud noise echoed from the bottom of the White River!
Then, a delicate silhouette rushed up out of the river!
Marvin reached the river bank and looked at the ashen faced Bamboo and shrugged. âThe Twin Snakes Cult arranged my marriage, but it looks like I had better forget about it.â
