Chapter 129: The Overlord Returns!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Surprisingly, displayed on the magic screen was the current situation in White River Valley!

A rebellion arose in the territory!

Even if Madeline agreed to let Marvin go on his own right now, if he rushed as fast as he could, it would take at least an hour to get back.

By that time, the rebellion might have already ended. Toshiroyas people might have already taken control of the castle!

Marvin took a deep breath and asked with a heavy voice, "What do you want?"

"Nothing. I dont really care about what you did previously." Madeline poured herself a glass of red wine. It could clearly be seen that she was a woman who knew how to enjoy life.

She charmingly looked at Marvin. "This is a world where the strong are respected, and you showed enough potential to make people praise you."

"I want to cooperate with you."

Cooperate?

Marvin almost thought he misheard.

The great City Lord of River Shore City, a 4th rank expert and a Half-Legend, actually wanted to cooperate with him?

"The Magic Holy Grail." Madeline finally revealed what she was after. "I need that thing. The news is spreading quickly among the Wizards. Your performance in the Three Ring Towers made people speechless."

"I know its on you, isnt it?"

Marvin couldnt do anything to deny that, so he simply nodded.

[Lances Holy Grail] was indeed on him.

Although this item would be helpful for Wayne, after Marvin requested it, Wayne unhesitantly gave the Holy Grail to him.

Magic Holy Grail Marvin started thinking fast. Since Madeline wanted the Magic Holy Grail, that meant she was about to set out for that place.

It was a lot earlier than it was supposed to happen!

Marvins heart was somewhat put on alert.

...

"Lets make it simple." Madeline put down her wine cup and resolutely said, "Ill help you pacify your territorys rebellion. And youll lend me the Magic Holy Grail. River Shore City will protect White River Valley. I know you already formed an alliance with the Ashes Tower of the Three Ring Towers. But the Three Ring Towers is extremely far away after all."

"Even if Hathaway wanted to protect you, she could only rely on her prestige to scare some people with bad intentions. But River Shore City is different. If you are in trouble, we would be able to help out at anytime."

"That includes that huge problem you are about to face: food."

"I can sell you a portion of our food at market price."

Madelines voice was very captivating.

But Marvin knew that this was only a disguise.

If it werent for his relationship with Hathaway, and that Holy Grail being the token of the Three Ring Towers, Madeline might have directly fought for it.

The reason she instead was patiently negotiating with him right now was only because she didnt dare to act.

But from the expression in her eyes, it could be seen that the Magic Holy Grail was something that she absolutely had to have.

If Marvin declined her offer, he might not be able to walk out of this room today.

He thought it through and ended up giving a reply that made Madeline extremely shocked.

The latter thought for a moment and finally nodded in approval.

Even if Marvins request was somewhat strange, the final outcome was more or less the same.

Thus, a bit later, a giant eagle stopped in front of the window of Madelines room.

"Since you dont want me to deal with it, I wish you luck, Baron Marvin."

Madeline stood at the window, her red nightgown extremely revealing.

The Great Falcons wings flapped, creating a fierce gust of wind. Madelines thin nightgown was suddenly swaying in the wind, revealing her fair legs.

Marvin jumped on the Great Falcons back, enduring the gale as it soared to White River Valley!

...

The Scarlet Monastery was a place that had been troubling River Shore City for a while.

Madeline had sent Disciplinary Knights and guards to suppress this evil force several times in the past.

But those two Pain Monks at the gate made her helpless.

The Pain Monks were too strong. Although they were only at the 3rd rank, they were immune to magic.

And if soldiers fought in close range with them, they would have heavy losses due to their lack of expert combat classholders.

After probing several times, Madeline had temporarily given up her plans on dealing with that place.

The monsters there were content with what they had, since after that Lich who failed to become a god died, there was no more movement. Though that Lich was actually in a deep slumber.

But a while ago, Demon God Enforcers appeared near River Shore City!

These were the subordinates of the 3rd Halls master, Avenger Fegan.

They seemed to be plotting something. This annoyed Madeline greatly.

It wasnt like she couldnt take care of the two Pain Monks, but it would cost a huge number of her soldiers their lives.

But the emergence of those Demon God Enforcers made her firmly determined to root out the Scarlet Monastery.

After the purge of the City Hall and the containment of the Dark Sweet Poison, this swift and decisive City Lord began to prepare her third major move after her seclusion!

And that was attacking the Scarlet Monastery.

Marvins Magic Holy Grail had an impact on this war that was irreplaceable. The Holy Grails various Auras and Anti-Curse abilities could give a huge boost to the armys fighting potential. Even a powerful Silver Church Priest wouldnt be able to do that.

Marvin remembered very clearly that Madelines attack on the Scarlet Monastery ended up failing.

The outcome this time might be different after my involvement.

But it also might not be. That guy is truly powerful"

Marvin leaned forward on the Great Eagles back, the deal with Madeline flashing through his mind.

Madeline would help Marvin get back to White River Valley and Marvin would personally participate in this war.

He would be in charge of the Magic Holy Grail. Moreover, he also stated that he wanted to have a relatively high priority in picking the loot.

These two points werent an issue for Madeline, as she was interested in neither the Scarlet Monasterys loot nor the Magic Holy Grail, as long as its effects were used to help.

Both of them temporarily made a deal.

What made Madeline the most surprised was that Marvin actually hadnt mentioned the issue of food.

Could he have another solution?

The Witch was puzzled.

It was safe to say that only River Shore City could deliver food to such a location.

But whatever the case, this enigmatic Baron Marvin still left on her summoned Great Eagle, only leaving a thin but steady back in Madelines sight.

...

White River Valley was in a complete mess!

At the bottom of the mountain, all the civilians were gathered together.

A youth shouted with a red complexion:

"Everyone listen!"

"How long has it been since our Overlord appeared?"

"Ever since last month, our food supply has been restricted and that Half-Elf bastard still doesnt agree to receive the kindness from River Shore Citys chamber of commerce!"

"She doesnt give us food to eat!"

"She deprived our territorys inhabitants of the most basic right! This wasnt the case in the previous White River Valley, but thats how things are now!"

"I suspect she secretly murdered the Overlord and casually modified old decrees, trying to seize our territory!"

"Dont you see that fire! That was our painstakingly built granary. The food inside was to be used to get through the winter. Now our food has burnt, there is no more!"

"That treacherous woman wants us to starve to death. We cant sit and wait for death!"

"We have to go to the castle to protest!"

Many people were moved by the youths extremely provocative arguments.

They blindly went to the castle under the incitement of a few people!

...

"Miss Anna, what now?"

Andre looked below the castle, extremely nervous. There was a huge mass of the territorys inhabitants!

The garrison had already locked the castle gate a long time ago, but this didnt make them feel more secure.

Because they were also terrified, and their hearts were in chaos.

There had been an increasing amount of rumors in the territory these days, rumors about Anna plotting against Marvin, trying to become the Overlord.

Ordinary people werent very informed after all. Marvins amazing performance in the Three Ring Towers still hadnt spread to River Shore City, not to mention White River Valley, this countryside area.

When he left, he chose to sneak away in order to avoid unwanted attention.

But now, there was a huge problem with Anna making the decisions, as she really wasnt an Overlord.

She wasnt the target of those ignorant citizens loyalty. She was only Marvins butler, White River Valley Overlords Proxy.

"How is the granary?" Anna gently asked.

Andre said with a heavy face, "Everything is ruined. The remaining food would at most last for a week."

Hearing this, Anna almost choked!

She had already suspected that a mole had infiltrated the castle, but she didnt think he would succeed.

With the granary being so tightly guarded, for someone to succeed She felt powerless.

If he was here, everything would be fine.

Anna couldnt help but think of Marvin.

But at this time, an arrogant sounding laugh echoed, "Is there something worrying you? My beloved Anna?"

"You are more beautiful than the moonlight tonight."

That was a luxuriously dressed man. He came over and said that despite the fact that there wasnt any moonlight tonight. He tried to embrace Anna.

But he was pushed away by Andre!

"Get away from Miss Anna!" Andre loathsomely said.

"Such a rude guy. To dare speak like that to the Greatest Alchemist in all History!" That man angrily stared at Andre, "Dont you know what kind of troubles your territory is currently facing?"

"If Miss Anna wishes, Ill go out and solve the problem for you."

"No need! Mister Edward," Anna coldly said, "Well settle it ourselves."

However, at that moment, the citizens were apparently unable to bear it anymore.

They sent a representative, that youth who had been riling up the people.

He proudly approached the castle and loudly yelled, "We want to meet Sir Overlord!"

"We want to know the territorys current situation. Return us our food. Greedy and treacherous woman, if you dont agree to our requests"

He hadnt finished his words when a burst of wind arrived from the sky!

A shadow suddenly dropped from the sky, landing next to the youth.

A cold light flashed.

Marvin turned, two daggers in hands, not caring about the body falling behind him.

He coldly watched the instigated populace:

"Are you rebelling?"
