Chapter 1117 No Darkness

Yanan Town.

Not far away Lancaster Castle was rebuilt and renamed Dick Castle, under the control of a baron who was canonized by the kingdom.

The other party is a knight who is the most active in suppressing Lancaster, and he has done many bloody major cases in this area.

The nearby town of Yanan has also become the other party's territory.

Everything about the Lancaster family is being forcibly erased and has become taboo...

Tragically, in just a few decades, these townspeople have forgotten their former lord's hatred of being plundered and murdered, and crawled under Baron Dick as obedient people.

After all, the dead are dead, and the living still need to continue to live.

Quasimodo wore a hooded robe and covered most of his face. Even so, others could still recognize his identity as the gravekeeper from the huge hump on his back, and they all retreated for a distance. An unhappy expression appeared.

He was getting old, which made him even uglier, the type that would make a child cry when he saw it.

If he hadn't come to the town shortly after the disaster, rebuilt the cemetery, and voluntarily collected the bodies of all the dead, he probably wouldn't have gotten the job as a cemetery keeper.

"Wow... Mom, I'm afraid!"

A child was running by and saw his face, and was so frightened that he ran away in an instant, crying loudly as he ran.

In the town, a yellow local dog barked at him.

In the midst of hatred, Quasimodo quickly bought some necessary living supplies and left the town.

This is his hometown, he used to be the son of the lord here, and he asks for anything here.

This is the case now.

Quasimodo is used to it, though.

The only difference is that some time ago, he had sent a message to that organization as agreed.

The mysterious person who took him in did not contact him all the time, but asked him to contact an organization called the 'Shadow Spider'.

Over the years, his antidote was also obtained from the other party.

"This time..."

Quasimodo clenched his fists and returned to the cemetery under the afterglow of the setting sun.

In the silent cemetery, there was a man in black robe standing in front of a tombstone.

Just looking at the back, Quasimodo was convinced that the other party was not the contact person of the shadow spider, but the mysterious leader who planted poison for himself!

"Quasimodo...you signal, what's the matter?"

Aaron covered most of his cheeks with a black cloth, turned around, and asked casually.

"My lord, I have always been paying attention to what you ordered before, but I have only discovered it recently... Please come with me!"

Quasimodo trembled, threw the debris on the ground, and led the way first.

The two came to the depths of the cemetery together. The original Lancaster family burial area had long been abandoned and overgrown with grass.

In the shadow of a slanting tombstone, there are two small white flowers.

This little flower looks very similar to the wildflowers on the roadside, but if you look closely, you will find that there are faint lines on its petals, like a human face.

"Very good...how did you find this flower?"

Aaron took a closer look and asked.

"I've been keeping an eye on the cemetery since the lord ordered this matter... It's almost invisible during the day, but when it's windy at night, it will make a whimpering sound, like a person crying."

Quasimodo's body quivered: "I only discovered at night that it is different from ordinary wildflowers."

"Is that so..."

Aaron stood up and looked at Quasimodo: "You have completed my mission, and I will detoxify you for you... You are free!"

Quasimodo immediately knelt down: "My lord... I'm old, and I don't want to break away from the shadow spider's organization."

The so-called 'Shadow Spider' is actually a thieves guild. Everyone is controlled by Aaron with toxins, doing some dark things for him in private.

"So...what do you want?"

Aaron knew that Quasimodo looked lonely and died of old age. In fact, he bought women through shadow spiders, and he gave birth to several children!

After all, he was Jaeger's candidate for the throne, and there was no chance of a witcher trial.

"I hope to use this meager credit in exchange for the organization's care for my family!"

Quasimodo's eyes had a ray of enlightenment: "I am old, and I will soon die, and the glory of my family will soon disappear from my hands... But I at least hope that those descendants can live and live until One day, a day of glory again!"

The nobles of this era value family and honor very much.

Even paranoid!

This is what Aaron understands very well.

Aaron was silent for a long time and sighed: "I promise you... I will take care of your family descendants!"

"Thank you sir!"

There was a look of relief on Quasimodo's face, not knowing that he made a lot of money from this promise.

At this time, he asked tentatively, "What are you going to do with this flower, my lord?"

"I suspect that they are not yet fully mature. I will arrange for someone to come and watch. You claim to be your distant relative."

Aaron makes the decision directly.

The Wraith Flower is a very cherished and rare material that even warlocks covet.

Such a good thing, naturally, it is only safe to guard it!

...

It had been a year since Aerys passed away.

After Aaron took care of Aerys' funeral, he took Ellie all the way to the vicinity of the small town of Yanan.

Anyway, Ellie was an orphan adopted by Iris, with no family bond at all, and was paid to Aaron by Iristo, so naturally, he would go wherever he said.

Then, I received a message from Quasimodo, and I came to see it specially, and I was pleasantly surprised.

Aaron came to a dense forest, and when he came out again, he became Zorro, a middle-aged witcher, and came to a carriage near a river.

"Uncle Zorro!"

Ellie, who was fetching water and preparing to cook, called out with joy.

"Um."

Aaron looked at the pot in her hand: "What are you going to do tonight?"

"Boiled Vegetable Soup!"

The corners of Aaron's mouth twitched. There were no recipes in this era. It was just stewed and ready to eat.

"Forget it, I'll come for dinner, hurry up and meditate... How's your progress today?"

He took the water basin in Ellie's hand and asked.

Mentioning this, Ellie's face visibly collapsed: "It's so difficult... Still trying to build a third bloodline rune... There is no sign of condensing into a bloodline seed at all!"

After the death of Aerys, the biggest legacy was an apprentice-level meditation called "Blood Without Darkness"!

This meditation method can be cultivated to the highest level of high-level warlock apprentice, no matter how high it is, there is no inheritance.

According to what he said, he needed to go to the Warlock Continent to find the organization he once joined in order to find the follow-up.

The cultivation of warlock apprentices is all about blood.

At the beginning, it is necessary to sense the chaotic power in the void, and then attract it into the body, causing the blood to resonate.

After that, you can condense the blood runes!

At least nine bloodline runes must be condensed in order to condense the runes into bloodline seeds, also called life seeds.

Once the Seeds of Blood Vessels are condensed, they will enter the first-level Warlock apprentice sequence, and their physical fitness will be increased and improved in all directions.

Then draw the power of chaos, cultivate the seeds of blood, and enter the middle-level warlock apprentice level, you can try to learn some 0-level witchcraft, also known as magic spells.

Unfortunately, according to Aerys's notes, such witchcraft templates are quite precious, and he only kept two.

The final stage of the high-level warlock apprenticeship is the limit of the incomplete meditation method obtained by Aerys, which can be walked sideways in the Adelson continent.

In fact, Aerys didn't expect Ellie to survive until the next century of apprenticeship.

After all, people in the Warlock Continent also need to look at their potential. An old woman in her 90s, even if she is a high-level apprentice, may not accept it.

But for Ellie, being a warlock apprentice and spending a happy life in the Adelson Continent is already earned.

"Only 3 runes?"

Aaron's eyes twitched: "When will you be promoted to Warlock Apprentice? Are you slack and living up to Aerys' expectations?"

"Where is it?"

Ellie grabbed the hem of her skirt and felt a little aggrieved: "Mr. Iris also said... The energy factor content in the air of the Yadsen Continent is not high, and the chaotic power is too weak... If it was in the Warlock Continent, I would have long ago Become a Warlock Apprentice."

All right……

Aaron also had to admit that the other party had a point.

This so-called Adelson Continent is actually a desert that even warlocks despise.

That's true for Ellie, and it's even more true for him.

He also watched "Blood Without Darkness" and tried to practice in private.

What did the result say?

The effect...is the same as nothing.

Fortunately, when the time span was extended to one year, coupled with the dataization of the attribute panel, Aaron reluctantly found that he had made progress.

At this speed... it will take about ten years for me to condense the first bloodline rune...

As for the seed of the bloodline, it is even more distant, because the further the bloodline rune is, the more difficult it is to build!

‘Is this how difficult it is for ordinary people to become apprentices of warlocks? ’

Aaron glanced at the real genius and thought to himself.

He is actually a chicken baby!

After all, if he doesn't work hard, or the result of his efforts is very small, then someone else needs to work hard for him!

So, what else can you do without Ellie?

"Even so, you must become a warlock apprentice as soon as possible, this is Aerys's expectation and last wish..."

Aaron first encouraged, and then comforted Ellie a few words, playing the girl in the palm of his hand.

Then he said: "I took a look, the environment here is good, let's settle down nearby in the future..."

"Is it here?"

Ellie thought for a while: "This place seems to belong to the Rogge Kingdom, where has there been a famous rebellion?"

"Yes, a lot of people died, but it has entered a long era of peace."

Aaron replied.

...

late at night.

in a simple tent.

Aaron pulled out a witcher's notebook and began to write and draw.

He is still a witcher master class with a second genetic mutation, which is not normal.

In fact, as early as three years after Jaeger's death, he developed the formula for the 'Blood Prison Potion'.

It is only the third mutation of the gene, which is really dangerous, so they formed the shadow spider to find other experimental bodies.

By now, the conditions for being promoted to the Demon Hunter Grandmaster are ripe.

But Aaron didn't want to be promoted immediately.

"My warlock talent, like all ordinary people, is close to none..."

"It takes too long to be promoted like this... We need to find a way to improve talent."

"According to the records of Aerys, the Wraith Flower has the miraculous effect of stimulating mental power and purifying blood... Although it is only valid for formal warlocks, it is quite precious."

"But it's too wasteful to eat raw!"

"Can you... make full use of it?"

"Like... with the witcher's potion?"

The more he studied the witcher's potion, the more Aaron felt that it was not groundless that the witcher was a defective product transformed by a warlock.

Even... the most perfect form of the witcher should be the incomplete version of the warlock!

Unfortunately, this plan later failed!

"But... by transplanting the blood of extraordinary creatures, as a bridge to enter the warlock apprentice... This idea is not wrong."

"I can also use this idea... During the third witcher gene mutation, add other bloodlines to stimulate the awakening of my own bloodline! Increase the talent of warlocks... Even the tenth level, it is much stronger than it is now!"

"Although... the bloodline of the bloodthirsty mad bird is a waste! But no matter how wasteful the bloodline is, it is better than no bloodline."

"After arriving at the official Warlock, there is a natural way to replace the powerful bloodline... Closer to the so-called 'Origin'!"

"As a result, the recipe for the third mutation of the witcher that I drew up at the beginning needs to be changed."

Aaron was lost in thought.

He uses his own vision, experience, knowledge... to add a little talent to himself.

Otherwise, becoming a Warlock Apprentice is really a long way off.

...

For the next period of time, Aaron's plans went well.

The first is to take Ellie, find a village near Yanan Town, and settle down.

Ellie herself is not a weak woman, not to mention that Aaron feels that the old guy Iris might have hidden some trump cards, such as alchemy items and other inheritances for Ellie, and he secretly ordered the shadow spiders to protect one or two. , there is basically no danger.

In other words, she herself is more dangerous than most people.

Aaron, the titular uncle, can also safely leave for ten days and a half months, or even half a year.

And he himself changed his name and became a young man again, and went to take refuge with Quasimodo, the tomb keeper.

Due to his acting skills at the best actor level, Quasimodo did not recognize his true identity at all.

He also helped him get an identity certificate, so that he could live near the cemetery, guard and study resentful flowers nearby.

After Quasimodo dies of old age, there is a high probability that Aaron will take over as the new generation of grave keeper.

Although someone once felt that he was eager to come back to be the tomb keeper... Is it cheap?

But for the resentment flower, Aaron can only be really fragrant.

Anyway, he is thick-skinned, and it doesn't hurt to be slapped in the face.
