Hathaway.

Marvin never expected that when he heard the name again, it was actually said by an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years in the autumn hunting ground of the Wilderness Palace.

At one point, he thought that he had heard it wrong, and that the person's name mentioned by the other party might just be similar to Hathaway's in pronunciation.

So he confirmed it again.

As a result, Winter Assassin affirmed his previous reply with certainty.

The witch who turned him into a whispering bug with a witch spell was really called Hathaway.

She claims to be from Anzedi, and she is fulfilling a very great mission. This mission is said to be related to the revival of Anzedi people and Anzedi witches, because it involves the ownership of the Cold Light Grip. The assassin naturally refuted the other party's request with a very strong stance.

So the two sides started.

The tragedy is that the Winter Assassin, who can kill even gods, was defeated by a series of weird [witch spells].

Of course, there was a reason that Winter Assassin didn't know much about witchcraft, and more importantly, that Anzedi witch seemed to be secretly helped by a certain god.

The Winter Assassin doesn't know which god it is. After all, the previous [Assassin God] incident put him on the blacklist of the entire Heavenly God Kingdom, and everyone has the possibility.

The only thing that is certain is that the person who helped... ○ Chang... ○ Feng... ○ Wen... that Hathaway back then must be an ancient god. Because during the battle, he heard the ancient divine language.

When it comes to the battle that year, Marvin can hear that Winter Assassin himself is very unwilling.

In his own words, he was "obsessed".

The unfortunate result is that it has been haunted by the curse for an unknown number of years. He didn't even know how many years ago it was, but it must have been more than seven or eight hundred years. After all, the Winter Assassin himself was a character in the late third era. When he was turned into a Whispering Worm by the witchcraft, many of the current gods hadn't conferred gods yet.

The League of Assassins he founded. At that time, it was only a relatively loose organization and did not belong to the Southern Wizarding Union. It can be regarded as a predecessor of the League of Assassins.

It can be seen that the origin of this matter is very long.

Marvin made a rough calculation and frowned.

The most active period of the Winter Assassins was the late Tertiary Epoch, about fifty or sixty years ago. As for Miss Yinyue's fall, even before this point in time, the Winter Assassin got the Cold Light's Grip by chance and became its master.

Later, the Anzedi witch suddenly appeared and took the Cold Light Grip, and brought it to the wilderness palace.

There are too many tricks here.

The last time Marvin saw Hathaway, the latter claimed to be the King of Witches in Anzedi.

Marvin has a certain understanding of witchcraft. The cycle curse on Hathaway's body was due to Mingfeng. The coincidence was solved, and some extraordinary memories were awakened, and Marvin could roughly guess these things.

But he couldn't imagine that Hathaway had lived for thousands of years.

Or, are these two people not the same person at all?

With such doubts, Marvin tried to verify the appearance of the witch who turned him into a whispering worm to the Winter Assassin.

However, Winter Assassin could no longer remember the appearance of that witch.

After being cursed, many of his memories seemed to be sealed.

All he knew was that he had been defeated by that witch, and he couldn't remember anything about the witch's appearance.

This is actually where Winter Assassin himself was very frustrated.

A legendary figure who was active in the late Tertiary Era. At that time, people even looked at him better than the wretched Glennos.

Inexplicably, he encountered a powerful enemy and was sealed away for nearly a thousand years. This kind of thing would be depressing for anyone.

...

Since there is no way to confirm Hathaway's appearance, Marvin has no choice.

Deep down in his heart, he faintly felt that there was something behind the opening of the Wilderness Palace this time. I'm afraid there are even bigger secrets waiting for them to discover.

The God of the Wild, Miss Silvermoon, the Lich, the Witch of Anzedi... There must be a reasonable explanation behind all of this. Marvin has caught some clues, but still lacks a thread to connect them in one breath.

Anyway, now that we have arrived at the autumn hunting ground. Marvin definitely wants to break into the palace of the wilderness.

After all, it has been confirmed that the opener of the Temple of the Wilderness is not the God of the Wilderness himself. But a lich. And from the information obtained from the City of Holy Light, Marvin can almost confirm that Minsk also entered the Wilderness Palace at the beginning, and in the end he never appeared anywhere in the Scarlet Wasteland.

He did not forget that his original purpose of entering the Scarlet Wasteland was to find the descendants of this ancient god of nature.

Entering the wilderness palace, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

By the way, since Winter Assassin has repeatedly emphasized that the Grip of Cold Light is very important to him and Isabel, Marvin doesn't mind helping out.

Artifacts are certainly attractive, but there are many more powerful ones.

What's more, the Grip of Cold Light is a dagger. Although Marvin's advanced Dark Lord can also use a dagger as a weapon, in this life, his specialization in the scimitar is even stronger. If you want to choose an artifact-level weapon, the Cold Light Grip is not your first choice.

...

In the following days, Marvin and Isabel didn't encounter any danger because of the old monster-level people like Winter Assassin as a guide.

They didn't meet anyone from the Temple of Dreams. Perhaps it was the terrifying ability Isabel showed that really frightened them, so they didn't come to them again.

This made Marvin very pleased.

He teamed up with Isabel, finally he was not acting alone, and he was also handy in dealing with those monsters.

With the reminder from the Winter Assassin, the weaknesses of these monsters are also clear at a glance.

Soon, they each got enough hunter marks.

After all, Isabel is no longer the stubborn but powerless little girl she was before.

She has become a true assassin.

Even in these battles, Marvin and Winter Assassin restricted her from using her natural abilities, but the level of assassination she showed really shocked Marvin.

young age. Her stealth skills have reached perfection, almost no worse than Marvin, the old assassin from the previous life.

As for the method. The apprentices trained by some of the top assassins in Feinan's history are naturally not bad.

Marvin even thought so. If he used his natural ability, it would be very difficult for him to escape her assassination!

Blink that defies all laws!

It's scary to think about it.

It is also this kind of talent that makes the Winter Assassins envious.

It is said that she is now approaching the final assessment period, and if she completes it, the Winter Assassin will teach her his ultimate stunt.

Even a powerhouse at the level of Winter Assassin and his unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box can be said to be legendary. If it is someone else, facing Isabel who has advanced to the legendary level, I am afraid that there is really not much to teach.

...

After the two completed the accumulation of hunter marks, the next step was to wait.

Waiting for the real opening of the wilderness temple.

According to Winter Assassin's estimates. Three days at most, after three days, the autumn hunting ground will be closed.

At that time, if you don't get enough hunter marks, you may be trapped to death in this space.

Only those who have the imprint can leave this land and go to the more dangerous and mysterious wilderness palace.

Sure enough, the day after the two raised enough marks, deep in the autumn hunting grounds. A rumbling sound shocked everyone.

A huge bronze gate appeared deep in the hunting grounds.

The Lich's voice sounded again:

"Being able to survive proves that you have the strength to witness history with your own eyes."

"Then, please come in."

"The Temple of the Wild is on, and every great show needs some audience. Don't you?"

Accompanied by the voice of the lich, some figures appeared one after another in the depths of the hunting ground.

Marvin could sense it. They all had a strong smell of blood on them.

Everyone who can live to this day is very powerful. They quickly disappeared behind the bronze door.

According to Marvin's estimate. This time there were almost a hundred legendary strongmen who were captured into the autumn hunting grounds, but they survived. No more than 20!

Even people as powerful as the Temple of Dreams lost two temple warriors.

You know, they act together, which is safer and more efficient.

Marvin and Isabel have been lurking near the bronze door, silently counting the number of people.

In the end, there were 16 Legendary powerhouses who had accumulated enough Hunter Marks. Plus Marvin and Isabel, a total of 18.

Most of the rest died on this hunting ground.

Most likely, their corpses were melted by sulfuric acid rain and finally absorbed by this terrifying space.

After all, in these two days, there will be a sulfuric acid rain that lasts for more than ten minutes almost every four hours.

Marvin has already confirmed that this is a sacrifice.

Behind the bronze door, there must be a bigger crisis waiting for them.

It is absolutely impossible for the lich to set up such a big game just to invite some spectators.

But they had no choice but to follow the path pointed out by the Lich, step by step.

...

"Let's go, don't look at it."

"I can sense that in at most five minutes, this door will close."

The Winter Assassin urged: "Even if the lich you mentioned is really playing tricks, we have to go in to find a solution, right?"

Marvin nodded, and finally stepped into the portal with Isabel.

Time and space were distorted again.

When the scene became real again, they found that they had come to an open hall.

The hall is covered with strips of weird ivy.

These vines are different from ordinary plants, with a lot of barbs hanging on them, and a thin layer of mucus!

There was a bloody and frenzied atmosphere in the air.

The hall is very wide, and they are in the center. At a glance, there is a red light shining in the dark depths.

In the distance, there was actually the sound of fighting!

"Let's go and have a look."

Marvin made a silent gesture.

Isabel cooperated very well and directly entered the stealth state.

The two, one on the left and the other on the right, communicated their positions by virtue of the special talent of the Whispering Worm, and quickly approached.

...

corner of the temple.

A man in a black cloak was standing steadily aside.

There was a thick mist behind him, and in the depths of the black mist, a double-headed bone dragon was looming.

And beside him, there was a gorgeous emerald banshee!

"It really is him!"

Ma Wen calmed down a little, and found the mastermind behind the scenes, and things would be much easier to handle.

The soul fire in this guy's eyes is so obvious that he almost got the word "Lich" etched on his face.

And in the open space in front of him, the person who was fighting was actually the adjudicator team from the Temple of Dreams!

The previously high-spirited magician seemed to have fallen into a very embarrassing situation at this time.

In the autumn hunting ground, they lost two men. Now the four temple warriors plus the paladin Griffin, as well as the magician himself, can hardly resist the attack of the lich, etc., it is not the lich's fault attack!

Marvin's pupils shrank.

What made Griffin and others fall into trouble was the blue climbing vines!

"There is indeed a problem with these ivy."

Marvin couldn't help but feel a little terrified when he saw those climbing vines that seemed to be alive surrounded the group of people and launched a frenzied attack.

Each of these vines possessed terrifying toughness, and they would not break even when swung with a sword blessed with divine magic.

On the contrary, the barbs on them have a very powerful ability.

Marvin could feel that these vines were absorbing the vitality and divine power of the enemy!

This ability is really terrifying.

"Wait...these vines are all over the temple...not good!"

By the time Marvin realized it in his mind, it was already too late.

In the next second, he only felt a pain in his stomach!

I don't know when, two terrifying vines have wrapped around his waist!

"ah!"

Not far away, Isabel also let out a soft cry, being bound by two vines with barbed thorns.

She instinctively wanted to use her natural ability to escape, but Marvin gave her a wink.

Isabel hesitated for a while, but in the end she still couldn't use her ability, and was directly hung up by Ivy.

So is Marvin.

Qingteng didn't seem to intend to kill them directly, but he wanted to see what the hell this lich was trying to do.

It is not necessarily beneficial to fight out now.

It's better to show the enemy's weakness first, and see the situation clearly before making a move.

It's just that this attempt shocked Marvin himself.

The bodies of the two were suspended by the vines, they continued to rise, and finally hung on the ceiling.

And at this time, he noticed that the ceiling of the tall hall was actually covered with people!

These people not only included the legendary powerhouses who were killed in the autumn hunting ground, but also some new faces.

Of course, more of them are dried corpses!

At this moment, Marvin's eyelids twitched.

Not far away, a man with his eyes closed was hanging peacefully.

Marvin recognized him.

"Demigod Minsk!" He secretly shouted in his heart.

And at this time, the Lich's sinister voice came from below:

"I didn't expect there were two cute fish that slipped through the net. They almost let you escape."

"But it's useless, since the moment you entered the wilderness palace, the ending has actually been doomed."

"Whether it's a little-known character or a believer in the aloof dream god, they will all become the audience of this show...Of course, no one can avoid the fate of becoming fodder in the end."

The Lich laughed softly:

"I'm fair, aren't I?"
