Mysterious Tribulation

Aaron looked up and looked at a pair of amber vertical pupils!

Behind him, I don't know when, there is already a giant snake with the thickness of a bucket, coiled up, and a drooping head!

No dream fluctuations!

It's a concept creature! The legendary snake... It lives in the stories and legends passed down by the villagers' mouths, not in a dream!

Aaron's thoughts turned and he raised his hand.

A series of Yang flames have already burned towards the big snake.

At the same time, he is also fully sensing the blood of this legendary snake!

Unfortunately, this legendary snake does not seem to have the concept of 'blood'. All Aaron senses is that there is nothing in front of it!

Hiss!

The sudden flame seemed to anger the legendary snake.

boom!

It jumped out of the flames, and the huge snake head was like a giant hammer, hitting Aaron hard.

When the snake head collided, a giant hand appeared around Aaron, holding his entire body.

- Zorro's bodyguard!

This spell, transformed from the hand of the mage, can effectively protect the whole body of the mage.

Even so, he was directly knocked flying, knocking down a farmhouse, causing a pair of young men and women inside to scream.

Damn!

Aaron felt the pain of the broken rib, and shook his head: It's been a long time since I became a full-fledged warlock.

Could it be... I was born without Long Aotian's life?

He quickly recited a spell, the wings of Hermes appeared behind him, and his body instantly soared into the sky.

The next moment, his position was bitten by the two halves of the huge snake kiss.

In mid-air, Aaron flapped the broken wing of Hermes and sighed.

He is ready to run.

After finding out that the secret here is more terrifying and dangerous than he imagined, he stopped the idea of ​​tracking it down for a short time.

It won't be too late to fight this legendary snake after I've been promoted to a second-level or even a third-level warlock in the future!

Hiss...Hermes...

Above the ground, the huge legendary snake raised its head and looked at Aaron with vertical pupils. The snake letter twitched, and it made an ancient and vicissitudes of life sound.

what?

Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly.

This legendary snake actually knew the bloodline of the bird of Hermes?

But he did not hesitate at all, flapping his wings and staying away from this area.

...

in a villa.

Big elder...

A shadow spider witcher watched Aaron descend from the sky with awe and envy on his face.

Prepare me food, wine, beauties...

Aaron took a deep breath.

This time, he was a little too frightened, and he needed a little enjoyment to suppress the fright.

Yes!

The witcher immediately withdrew respectfully.

He was at the level of a Demon Hunter master, and he was considered the middle-level force of the organization.

If you want to be promoted to the Demon Hunter Grandmaster in the future, you must please this elder Andrew!

Aaron went to a cloakroom, ripped off his tattered robe, and walked into the bathroom.

When the warm spring water fell from the shower, he let out a sigh of relief.

It now looks... that legendary snake is not ordinary.

I really didn't expect that there is such a big guy hiding in this desert of warlocks... Why don't you go to the warlock continent? Learn what to do with me?

It actually knows the bird of Hermes, or does it smell the blood?

Just as Aaron pondered, he suddenly opened his eyes!

I don't know when it started, the spray from the shower is no longer clear water, but blood!

Bright red blood, with a stench, drenched his head and face!

Aaron's face sank as he grabbed the clothes next to him.

In a flash, he rushed to the heating room of the villa.

In the large pot specially responsible for boiling hot water, corpses are being cooked at this time.

They are the maids and chefs of the villa...the hands and feet are separated from the body, and the hot water is soaked in blood.

Damn!

Aaron directly smashed the wall next to him and escaped from the villa.

Elder Aaron...what happened?

The witcher, who had met before, rushed over immediately.

But the next moment, he was greeted by Aaron's flame: When did I tell you that my name was Aaron?

raging!

Under the flames, the witcher melted like a wax figure.

On his face, countless granulation sprouts began to grow, revealing the rotting flesh underneath...

Hiss!

From the dark corner next to it, a snake hissed.

Is that the legendary snake? It didn't let me go?

No, that's not right!

Aaron calmed down and suddenly recited a spell, wrapping himself in layers of black feathers.

His eyes turned bloody in an instant.

And the next moment, he saw that his body was wrapped around one after another of pitch-black snakes!

Dense, terrifying!

So many evil thoughts and curses?

This time I lost a lot...

Aaron couldn't help but sink.

...

After a long time.

Aaron flapped the wings of Hermes and landed at another stronghold.

The ground is soft and scented with grass.

He was slightly relaxed, but a woman's voice suddenly came from his ear: Save...Save me...

In the front, I don't know when there is a broken female statue...

Its whole body is crimson red, as if it was made out of scarlet plasticine, and between the opening and closing of its lips, there are constant cries for help...

Hiss!

Hiss!

All around, all kinds of snakes suddenly appeared, entangled and twisted on the ground... like the roots of an old tree that kept spreading outwards.

Mother of snakes?

Aaron's expression froze slightly.

He did not expect that the illusion he saw when he was promoted would appear again.

Not only that, a large snake suddenly appeared in the shadows, it was the 'legendary snake'!

With its appearance, more shadow snakes emerged, and the original red snakes began to entangle and fight with each other...

Hiss!

The legendary snake spit out the letter and bit down half of the statue of the blood-red woman.

Countless blood-like liquids flowed out from the snake's kiss...

Whoosh...

Aaron breathed heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

In front of him, the middle layers of several shadow spiders had turned into corpses at some point in time.

The rest of the servants were frightened and hid aside: Don't... don't kill us?

Illusion?

Aaron murmured, and suddenly his right hand was inserted into his left arm.

puff!

In the splash of blood, a small snake that looked like it had been stripped of its skin fell to the ground and was still wriggling...

curse……

But... the illusion of the Mother of Snakes actually helped me resist the curse of the 'Legendary Snake'?

There must be a secret here...

Aaron stopped looking at the frightened men and turned to leave.

He knew that it was he who had gone deep into the hallucination before, and maybe even leaked the curse, that innocently affected Chiyu.

But the most important thing at this time is to figure out the law of curses and hallucinations!

...

half a month later.

A hut in the woods.

There were densely packed dead snake corpses, some of which had rotted and looked eerie.

In the hut, strange incantations sounded from time to time.

in the dark.

Aaron blows out the last candle.

Countless bright red runes, like ants, climbed from the ground to him, and gathered on the back of his left hand, forming an inverted triangle mark.

In the mark, there is a serpentine coiled around a stone pillar...

Finally... the biggest scourge is sealed.

After all, Aaron is a great master of the occult, and he can handle such dirty things as curses and evil thoughts.

Even so, he deeply felt the difference of this curse!

The power of the root... is quite powerful... even the mother of snakes is like this... hehe...

Besides that, there is another Hermes...

Although Aaron also thought about offering sacrifices to the bird of Hermes, and then asking the other party to remove the curse on him.

However, his intuition made him give up this practice.

Otherwise, the results could be even worse!

Ordinary people only think that with their superb wisdom and restraint, they can use the hidden existence for their own use... This is actually an ignorant view!

The only thing that can affect the hidden existence is power!

Even if it's me, I'm not sure to make a strict enough contract to make the bird of Hermes abide by the contract 100%... It's because the power is too different.

If my body is here, it can be easily summoned, and there is absolutely no worry of backlash...

Aaron glanced at the back of his hand and fell silent.

This seal of his is a bit tricky, mixing the illusion of the Mother of Snakes with the curse of the legendary snake, making them conflict and consume each other...

Conservative estimates can also support hundreds of years.

Then... just continue to send people to go to the Warlock Continent to find information about the curse...

My response to the local curse is not as deep as these warlocks after all... If I can get their information, it is very possible to solve these troubles.

Yes, Aaron is still not ready to go to Warlock Continent after the life threat is briefly lifted.

As for the reason is very simple... afraid of death! Cherish your life!

Aaron put on a golden mask in the shape of a harpy and fell into deep thought:

After becoming an official warlock, I can be more proactive in testing. After all, my risk tolerance has also improved.

Shadow spiders are just an ordinary mortal organization... Next, I need to establish a warlock organization, um, it's called 'Wings of Hermes'.

He was very ingenious in naming his own witchcraft.

This organization, in Aaron's conception, would be quite useful.

Because its main purpose is to collect children with warlock talents among the commoners, and then send them to the Warlock Continent to wander.

And, come back in due time, and trade with him.

Among them, 80% of the investment will not be returned, and it will be wasted.

But as long as one or two cases can come back, Aaron is also a big profit.

However, how to control these apprentices is also a hassle.

Or... I must have a bargaining chip in my hand to make them excited, otherwise they will definitely not come back to see me, a lonely, widowed and empty nester...

Aaron complained, and then immediately thought of a solution.

That is, you can adopt orphans first, cultivate loyalty, and then use the witcher's three-stage trial to make them have inferior bloodline talents.

And by purifying the bloodline of the bloodthirsty banshee, he can attract them, and even guide them to sign a contract.

After all, if the bloodthirsty bird bloodline wants to be promoted to a formal warlock, it is basically a dream.

Once they go to the Warlock Continent and become high-level apprentices, they or their descendants made with witchcraft can only find ways to come back and trade high-level blood with themselves.

Even the best among them may not be able to first bestow the blood of the bloodthirsty banshee, and then seduce them with the blood of the bird of Hermes!

Even if it is only the thin bloodline of the bird of Hermes, the power of this root level will definitely attract them very much.

Even though the Warlock Continent has methods and bloodlines to improve their talents... but they are all in the hands of the big organization. The ones I have here are still good quality and cheap... They are very competitive.

And... they thought that the Wings of Hermes had only high-level warlock apprentices at most... They would definitely be inclined to trade with the organization.

There is no official warlock on the Adelson continent, after all, it is just a backcountry.

Aaron mulled over his plan repeatedly and found that there was no big problem, and immediately decided to implement it.

The warlock organization that influenced the future history of Aderson——【Wings of Hermes】, began to appear silently in the second year.

This organization has completely detached itself from the Shadow Spiders from the beginning, and no one knows who its true leader is.

Aaron just scattered his hands, looked for some talented warlocks, and adopted some orphans for training, that's all.

There is still a long way to go before the next century.

All he does now is preparation.

More plans will be launched only in the future.

...

Decades passed in a blink of an eye.

Inside a seemingly abandoned castle.

Aaron opened his eyes and glanced at the attribute column:

【Name: Aaron (Zorro)】

[Talent: Immortality]

【Age: 409】

...

Probably I really don't have any talent... After decades, I'm still only a first-level warlock... Sigh...

He sighed, and his thoughts on advanced meditation were even more urgent.

But at this time, Aaron first glanced at the seal on the back of his left hand, and then took out a small cosmetic box from his arms.

After opening it, I saw a line of text that seemed to be scribbled with lipstick on the silver mirror.

The Mene family?

He thought about it and walked out of the castle.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow rose into the sky, flew into the blue sky and white clouds, and quickly disappeared.

...

Mene Castle.

A pair of noble men and women in fancy clothes are talking in the garden.

Juliet... Your eyes are like the stars in the sky! It's so beautiful!

A young noble held a rose and knelt on the ground: I wish I could turn into a green leaf and accompany you every day...

Robert... Do you really love me, or just love my surname, my bloodline...

Juliet, who was wearing a white dress, was a little sad.

You have to believe that our love transcends surnames, transcends blood... I'm definitely not like those villains guessing, coveting the noble Meni blood...

Robert wanted to say something else, when a figure suddenly fell from the sky and stepped half of his face into the ground: Is this the Meni Castle?

Aaron wearing a spider mask waved his hand to disperse the smoke: I need a guide, take me to see Earl Mene!
