Chapter 567: New Discovery

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

When Nottingheim’s Queen caught sight of Marvin and Aragon’s faces, she couldn’t help rubbing her own eyes, afraid that she had seen wrong.

Aragon the Storm Swordsman, who had already advanced to Legend rank, was moving like lightning. He rushed to the path and hugged his younger sister.

Nana’s excited tears were pouring down.

She had been waiting for that day for a long time.

...

Aragon was the same. He had left Arborea only because he wanted to see the outside world.

At the same time, due to the limitations of the plane laws, his strength had always been suppressed to level 18. He couldn’t level up leaving him thirsting for more strength.

With his talent, he should have been able to reach the Legend Realm easily.

After Marvin took him to Feinan, he didn’t wander around, instead only exploring Sword Harbor and the area to the south.

Most of the time, he was the strongest expert guarding Sword Harbor.

Aragon ultimately completed the final step on the eve of Marvin’s trip to Arborea.

He had been promoted from being a Half-Legend to a genuine Legend Swordsman!

Marvin had been worried before because he couldn’t decide who to send to speak with Nana. Aragon had some understanding of White River Valley, but ever since he exceeded level 18, wouldn’t he also be unable to enter Arborea?

But things changed later.

After Marvin used the pass Hathaway had given him entered the Ashes Plain with Madeline’s help, Marvin discovered with surprise that Arborea’s limit restriction had already been increased!

It originally was a Secondary Plane, but because of the special connection with the Prime Material Plane, it got upgraded. This was something that Marvin hadn’t thought about.

Not only was Arborea’s flow of time now similar to Feinan’s, but it was also extremely close to it.

At least Arborea’s Plane Will was no longer preventing the Legends from entering.

As for whether the Gods could enter, Marvin didn’t know. He had no way to connect to Arborea’s Plane Will and understand the limitations.

But according to Madeline’s planar knowledge, although the level limitations had been lifted, the strength of those inside was still restricted.

If people in Arborea wanted to reach a higher level, they would receive a restrictive mark from the plane.

It was a terrible mark, and it was also one of the reasons that many powerhouses from Secondary Planes yearned after places like the Crimson Wasteland where they could improve themselves further.

...

The changes happening in Arborea made Marvin pleased, yet somewhat worried.

He was pleased because he could now enter that world. The food issue was a matter of life and death for White River Valley’s Sanctuary and he couldn’t help attaching a lot of importance to it.

He fought for his life outside, fighting a chaotic war with Gods, but if he didn’t have enough food to support his people, White River Valley would directly collapse.

He couldn’t tolerate the destruction of all that he had built up.

As for what caused him some worry, Arborea’s strength restriction was a kind of self-defense mechanism.

Now, this self-defense mechanism had been destroyed, which was bad for Arborea itself.

The inhabitants couldn’t become Legends, but if Legends from other planes came, they would be able to do as they pleased. Wouldn’t any random Legend be able to turn Arborea upside down?

That issue was temporarily set aside by Marvin.

After seeing the two of them return, Nana was very happy.

All of Nottingheim was full of admiration for Marvin. Nana listened to Marvin’s request and unhesitantly chose to accept.

Marvin’s request was also very simple. He wished to exchange valuables for food of equal value, any kind possible.

What Nottingheim lacked the least was food.

The plane’s climate was extremely good for agriculture. It had good humidity, was filled with forests and lakes, and the vast arable lands were very fertile.

Back when they were under the rule of the Shadow Prince, most of the Plane’s monsters had already been killed. This was a considerably prosperous land.

Nottinheim was rich in food. There were more than hundred thousand households in the kingdom, and almost every one had surplus food, even if one didn’t count Nottingheim kingdom’s official food treasury.

In contrast, they lacked strong metals. Iron ore was pretty sparse, so they were in need of ironware.

All the soldiers’ weapons had been used by their predecessors. They had to be maintained and used carefully.

After learning about this, Marvin had a rough plan.

He would buy food from Arborea, and even if his share of riches from the Shadow Shrine wasn’t enough, the ore from White River Valley’s northern mine could be used in exchange. Although White River Valley was mining ore, they didn’t have the production capabilities to make it all into weapons.

The Planar Teleportation Array couldn’t be used easily, but by using numerous large storage items to facilitate the process, the planar trade could benefit both sides.

Soon, Marvin and Queen Nana reached an agreement and signed a trade contract between Nottingheim and White River Valley.

Following their arrangements, the first batch of food was packed and Marvin brought all the storage items he had been able to gather, most of them coming from River Shore City. It was a major city, after all. Madeline had previously gathered many items from the Three Ring Towers’ Craftsman Tower as reserve supplies, including over thirty storage items.

Right now, Marvin had over fifty storage items with him. Bringing these back would provide enough food for White River Valley’s current inhabitants to eat for two to three years!

Thus, thanks to the trade agreement, the food issue had been completely solved and Marvin sighed in relief.

In fact, White River Valley only need some breathing room. In autumn, the farmers’ cereals could be harvested and at that time, they might not need to rely on Arborea’s support.

Despite that, in order to be safe and make sure that they would have enough surplus after trading some of the food for weapons, Marvin still finalized a long-term cooperation agreement.

Both Aragon and Nana were very grateful to Marvin for his past help, and thus the cooperation went pretty smoothly.

Marvin was quite pleased that the problem of food was resolved without issue.

After the joyous banquet, Aragon was pulled aside by many old friends to chat, while Marvin was bored due to most being too apprehensive to greet him, so he left the court.

Arborea’s air was a lot fresher than Feinan’s. At least there wasn’t a large amount of Chaos Magic Power mixed in.

He walked alone for a while when he suddenly met the fancily dressed Nana.

She was different than she had been during the afternoon negotiations in the study. She seemed a lot brighter and more lively now.

Her identity as the Queen of Nottingheim added a sort of unspeakable charm to her. Although she was still very young, she had gradually gained the character of someone in her position.

It’s just that in front of Marvin, she once again seemed like that helpless little girl he met in the depths of the palace.

"Sir Marvin, there is actually one more thing I didn’t mention yet."

Nana looked as if she had just remembered something as she explained, "Before you left, you once told us to carefully search everywhere to guard against the remnants of the Shadow Shrine."

"In the process, we made a new discovery."

Marvin suddenly felt very interested.

"What did you find?"
