Mysterious Tribulation

It is rumored... The Cuedis believe that after death, people will pass through a long serpentine corridor to reach the underworld... During this process, you must not mention any terms related to snakes, otherwise... huge The snake bridge will come alive and devour your soul... This snake bridge connecting the present world and the underworld is called - Black Manda!

Gigitel people believe that snakes have the divinity to shuttle between life and death, and snake slough is the most precious medicine...

Near Hadesburg, the serpent god, Posuji, is widely believed and worshiped...

Inside the gravekeeper's hut.

Aaron flipped through the information found by the Shadow Spider.

If you don't find it, you don't know. There are quite a lot of legends and myths about snakes on the Adeson continent.

If you count the stories that are not true or false, it is a huge number.

Aaron turned to the last page, rubbed his forehead, and made a comment: Focus on... snakes and women... legends like flowers.

He still couldn't ignore the visions he saw and the babble he heard when he was promoted to the Demon Hunter Grandmaster.

He was going to investigate all the snake legends in the Adeson Continent one by one.

Obviously, this is an extremely difficult job.

Fortunately, Aaron has enough time to slowly peel off the cocoon.

After doing these things, he began to meditate on the blood without darkness every day.

It has to be said that after becoming a wife and mother, Ellie gradually gave up her pursuit of the path of a warlock.

On the one hand, it is because of the distraction of energy. On the other hand, it is also because of the promotion of warlocks. It is indeed too difficult!

Aaron didn't care about it, and meditated for hours every day.

Thanks to the improvement of his talent, it took two or three times more time than Ellie.

Today, in his sea of ​​consciousness, the ninth bloodline rune has taken shape!

The nine blood-colored runes attract and combine with each other... In an instant, a bloodline seed with three-dimensional beauty is formed, and it seems to have come directly from the illusory sea of ​​consciousness to Aaron's body, taking root in the center of the chest.

dong dong!

dong dong!

Aaron heard his own heartbeat.

His blood seems to have been purified by the Seed of the Bloodline, becoming more pure and powerful, and flowing through the whole body through the heart!

This increased his already amazing physical fitness once again, and dark blood flowed from the pores everywhere.

The biggest increase is speed. After all, I chose the bloodline of the bloodthirsty wild bird...

After getting acquainted with the body, Aaron nodded: Although the strength and physique have also improved, the main thing is to temper it... Specifically, a lot of impurities in the body have been expelled, and there are also leftovers from the witcher's potion. Residual effects are also gradually eliminated...

Using the witcher's potion is very damaging to the body.

But at this time, Aaron felt that something he had lost was slowly recovering.

Sure enough, the warlock is the orthodox... the witcher is only a crooked way.

Aaron sighed and glanced at the attribute column again:

【Name: Aaron (Zorro)】

[Talent: Immortality]

【Age: 150】

[Occupation: Demon Hunter (Grandmaster)]

【Gene mutation: three times】

[Gene Ability: Surge of Blood, Manipulation of Blood (Single Player), Domain of Blood]

[Meditation: Blood without Darkness (3/1000) (Second Layer)]

[Warlock Talent: Ninth Class]

[Warlock Level: Beginner Apprentice]

【Will: 3】

[Mana: 30]

...

The mana of a warlock is mainly related to willpower...

Through the data analysis of Aerys and Ellie... the most important thing is my own sample, and I finally came up with specific values.

Unfortunately... the willpower of the elementary apprentices is too low to bear the consumption of level 0 witchcraft...

Level 0 witchcraft? It seems that Aerys has only passed down two...

Witchcraft books require special materials to make, which are hardly available locally, so they cannot be copied.

And any witchcraft, even if it is level 0, is an extremely complex and sophisticated system structure, and no mistakes can be made.

Aaron thought for a while, and once again dressed up as the gray-haired witcher Zorro and went to find Ellie.

...

Maine Village.

Ellie's house.

Ellie wore a village woman's dress and looked like an ordinary middle-aged aunt who was feeding the chickens with a food bowl.

Beside her, there are two children running, laughing, and making noise...

Ano, Lily... don't make trouble!

Ellie laughed and scolded a few words, but the child remained the same, making the sorceress very helpless.

Suddenly, she saw an old man standing by the fence.

The other party has white hair and wrinkles, but his back is still straight.

That familiar face made Ellie's food bowl fall to the ground: Zorro... Uncle? Woohoo...I thought...I thought you...

In this era, 60 or 70 years old is an absolute old age, and Ellie almost thought that Aaron died outside.

Ellie... I'm back.

Aaron gave a smile.

Come on, Arno, Lily... Call Grandpa Zorro!

Ellie put her arms around her two children: They are my son and daughter...

grandfather!

Arno let out a snarky cry, and Lily was shy, shrinking behind her mother, only daring to show half of her face to look at it.

Aaron didn't care either, took out a few candies and handed them to the two children, then followed Ellie into the house.

Uncle...Where have you been in the past few years?

Ellie rambled and started sorting out the kitchen utensils and dining table: Wait a minute...I'll make you an apple pie.

Don't be so troublesome. Actually, I came this time to take a look at the two witchcraft models that Iris left behind.

As soon as Aaron said these words, Ellie's expression changed.

Arno, take your sister out to play.

She kicked the two children out of the house first, then closed the door and looked at Aaron: Uncle Zorro...you...

Aaron raised his hand.

A layer of slightly blood-red color gathered in his palm: Yes... After a long period of unremitting efforts, I am already an apprentice of the elementary warlock.

This is... unbelievable, the teacher clearly said that you have no talent.

Ellie murmured, suddenly thinking of herself.

Even if it is difficult to be promoted to a middle-level apprentice, after she got married, especially after Aaron was obsessed with meditation in recent years, she slack off after not paying much attention to her.

Up to now, Aaron has caught up with the progress!

Perhaps...you had a hidden talent back then, but the teacher didn't discover...the teacher...

Ellie looked sad, went under the bed and dragged out a small box, and handed all the contents to Aaron: Uncle Zorro...Teacher, you can take all these things...I...I just want to be an ordinary I don’t want to take on so much, I’m sorry… woo woo…”

Speaking of which, she even started crying.

Aaron looked at the woman, speechless.

Was the chicken baby too powerful back then? Why does it seem to be contradictory?

But at this time, he didn't say much, just accepted the box: I see... Ellie, live as you want... I won't control you anymore.

sorry……

When Aaron left, Ellie's deeply apologetic voice could be heard.

This is... the so-called people have their own aspirations.

Looking back at the manor and the fence, Aaron shook his head: But... this was never my choice.

He no longer hesitated, and strode away from the village.

...

The two level 0 witchcraft left by Aerys, one is called the 'Hand of the Mage', which can construct an invisible palm and move objects of no more than 10 pounds.

The second is 'Flashing', which requires the use of a dust as a casting material, which can create a strong light source.

According to Aaron, these two level 0 witchcraft are not as good as his own 'field of blood'!

According to Aerys' notes... Warlocks are not really interested in developing universal witchcraft... What they prefer is to tap the power in their own blood and form blood magic!

Many powerful bloodline warlocks can pass knowledge directly to their descendants through bloodline... Even when they become elementary warlocks or full-fledged warlocks, they can automatically awaken some related witchcraft, which is not only more suitable for themselves, but also far more powerful than ordinary models. Magic is powerful!

After all... what Warlocks are looking for is to get closer to the source and purify the blood, not the truth.

Aaron doesn't take this kind of cheap behavior very seriously.

After this generation, although the lower limit is not low, the upper limit is also locked.

The shackles of the bloodline source are the barriers that all bloodline warlocks cannot bypass.

how...

This is the mainstream in the low-dimensional world, and he just mixes it up like that.

So... in fact, I also have blood sorcery, which is a series of blood abilities awakened by the witcher!

Comparatively speaking, it is still easier to use than the hand of a mage... and I am speechless.

In the days that followed, Aaron began to memorize witchcraft models.

Even the simplest witchcraft model needs to build thousands of nodes in the mind first, which is very difficult and complicated.

And the most important thing is that even if he remembers it, he can't show it now.

Because casting 0-level witchcraft requires a lot of willpower, the first-level warlock apprentice can't afford it.

At least a mid-level warlock with a will of 6 or higher must be able to successfully cast a level 0 sorcery without being backfired.

Blood...Blood...

Aaron closed the wizard's book that recorded the witchcraft model and sighed slightly.

...

Time flies, and soon more than ten years have passed.

Uncle, uncle... it's not good!

Outside the gravekeeper's hut, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy slammed on the door.

This young man had brown curly hair, a little freckles on his face, and was wearing a linen cloth, but he looked very energetic.

He is Quasimodo's grandson, Guin, who was brought to him by Aaron himself.

In the case of not involving fundamental interests, he is more committed to keeping his promises.

What happened?

Aaron opened his eyes and opened the door.

His expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or angry. The more he was like this, the more scared Gu Yin was.

I don't know why, but he was very afraid of this uncle, so even if he didn't like to patrol the night every day, he still had to patrol the cemetery for his uncle.

Although my uncle always said that when he died of old age, he would pass on the position of tomb keeper to him, but tomb keeper... what kind of good job is it?

But at this time, Gu Yin took a few breaths and finally thought of the business: Recently, the baron has led a group of bandits... It is said that it is composed of veterans who survived the battlefield of Giant Eagle Mountain. It is quite ferocious, and the baron's guards are all beaten. defeated...

The point. Aaron frowned.

He also knew a little about the battle of Giant Eagle Mountain. It was probably in the past fifty or sixty years. The Rogge royal family remembered whether to eat or fight, and felt that they could do it, and then went to war with the surrounding Principality of Morocco.

In the end...they were beaten down!

This has caused a series of domestic turmoil, and this gang of bandits is the epitome of it.

I heard from people in the town that the village of Maini was just bloodbathed by bandits yesterday... It is said that a lot of people died.

Guin shrank his neck.

Muni Village?!

Aaron directly thought of the Ellie family. This family is protected by Ellie, so there shouldn't be a big problem, right?

I'm going to Meni Village, you stay here.

Still, he was ready to take a look.

...

Maine Village.

When Aaron came here again, he found that the originally quiet and safe village had become full of beacon.

Many farmlands were burnt down, houses collapsed, some villagers cried beside the bodies of their relatives, and some people were like walking corpses, walking aimlessly...

A speck of dust from the times, falling on the common people, is a mountain!

For the first time, Aaron understood the sentence deeply.

Before he came to Ellie's house, he realized that something was wrong.

In the room, Jack's body fell to the ground, still maintaining a roaring expression, and a large hole was pierced in his chest.

Apart from that, there was no one else here, instead the house was turned into a mess inside and out.

Aaron frowned, picked up a leaf, and blew it.

After a while, a man in a gray robe came to his side.

This is the shade spider's eyeliner in Meni Village.

After all, a warlock family is still very valuable, and Aaron will not really let it go.

Tell me, Ellie, the hostess of this house, where did you go?

Aaron showed a pitch-black ring on his hand.

The figure immediately knelt down: Sir... Ellie... Ellie has... died in battle...

How is that possible? Are you kidding me?

Aaron spoke in disbelief.

With Ellie's strength, as long as she wants to run, a few bandits are not her opponents at all. If she is good at using terrain and horses, she can even destroy a team of knights!

Her body is just outside the village... It is said that at that time, the bandits took her grandson and granddaughter as hostages. Lord Ellie believed the words of the other party, chose not to resist, and was then...

The gray-robed man continued.

...

Aaron was speechless.

Ellie, that stupid woman, was killed by her own innocence.

idiot!

He cursed and asked again, Where are those robbers... now?

Aaron seems to have a flame in his heart now, and urgently needs to find a target to vent.

The gray-robed man quickly reported a place name, and then found that there was no trace of the adult in front of him.
