Chapter 1285 The old man with the red hat and white beard said
Looking at the villagers walking leisurely on the street, Luo Jie frowned inadvertently.
Due to the [Immortal Technique·Five Elements Alchemy], he was particularly sensitive to things containing a large number of Five Elements elements, and he immediately noticed something unusual in the peaceful scene of this village.
None of these villagers are alive.
Of course, they are not undead like zombies.
According to the background setting of "Oku's Restoration Technique", this village was destroyed hundreds of years ago, and the only survivor "Todoroki" restored the village with amazing magic power.
It’s just that this world doesn’t have the magic of resurrection. Unwilling to accept the facts, “Boom” opened the door to the underworld with a forbidden spell, recalled the souls of all the villagers, and placed them in clay demon dolls. The magic maintains the illusion that everyone is still alive.
All the way to the big house in the center of the village, a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament came face to face.
"Father, who are these two?"
"Ruyi, you came just in time. These two young men are survivors of the shipwreck and I have just accepted them as disciples. They will live at home from today on." After introducing Luo Jie and "Shi Yin", "Tang" said to them again. : "This is "Rui", my daughter-in-law, and the only doctor in the village. I also have a son "Cang Ye", who likes to do some alchemy research, and spends most of his time tinkering with his bottles in the basement. Gu Guan, you will see him when you have dinner in the evening."
While "Boom" was introducing each other, Luo Jie observed the woman in front of him very carefully.
According to the plot setting, the entire Hazama Village is maintained by the magic power of "Todoroki", but as he grows older, the magic power of "Todoroki" will gradually decline. At this time, he will use forbidden reincarnation magic to give birth to a new life. With a young body, he starts another reincarnation of Hajian Village.
"Rui" is the mother body chosen by "Todoroki" for this reincarnation.
This woman has a slender figure that is obviously different from the "One Piece" world. She has long dark brown wavy hair and a charming face with light makeup. She exudes the unique appeal of a mature woman.
What's even more rare is that even though her plump figure is tightly wrapped in a cool dress and has clear curves, the elegance and stability of the woman's expression perfectly controls this intuitive sexiness, without the frivolity of being smoky and flirtatious at all. She is obviously a well-educated lady.
"Hello... Miss Ruyi! My name is Shiyin."
Facing the feminine "Rui", "Shion" acted like an untouched chick, lowering her head with a flushed face, not even daring to touch her with her eyes.
"I'm already married." "Rui" smiled and corrected the wrong name of "Shione", caressing the ring on the ring finger of her left hand intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hello, madam, my name is Nightmare, please don't bother me much in the future!" Luo Jie followed closely.
"Ruyi" smiled like a spring breeze, stroking her long hair and said: "Master and apprentice are like father and son. Since we are father's apprentices, we will be a family from now on, so there is no need to say such polite words."
"Todoroki" put his arm around the shoulders of "Shiyin" and Luo Jie, and laughed heartily: "Today is a good day, Ruyi. I will work hard for you to cook some good dishes tonight, and I will follow my two disciples."
Have a few drinks!”
…
At dinner time, Luo Jie met "Ruyi"'s nominal husband, "Cang Ye".
This is a gentle and handsome young man, but his body is quite thin, so thin that he can be blown away by a gust of wind.
Why is it said to be a husband in name only?
Because the person "Cang Ye" actually does not exist, it is a magical clay puppet made by "Tōdoroki" in order to find his reincarnated mother body.
Perhaps because he was worried that "Rui" would have too much affection for the doll, "Tōdoroki" even added a series of settings to "Aoi" that were not conducive to the harmony of the couple's relationship, such as "physically weak, obsessed with alchemy", and just missed the "
The label "NTR Sufferer" is plastered on his face.
Of course, it's not that Todoroki has any weird hobbies, it's just that he has to do it as a last resort.
Reincarnation magic requires the mother's body to voluntarily accept external magic seeds, and magic clay dolls are definitely unable to do this, so they can only rely on other outsiders to do this.
For example, the male protagonist "Lion Yin" in the original work.
After confirming that the main plot of the plot had not been magically altered by the system, Luo Jie was able to guess the conditions for clearing this mission.
One is like the GOOD-END ending of the original work, relying on one's own strength to defeat "Todoroki" head-on, save "Rui", and make Hazama Village disappear forever.
It doesn't matter if you don't have that kind of hard power, the system has also prepared a second route very considerately.
It is to cooperate with "Tōdō"'s plan to conquer "Rui", so that this woman will willingly accept the magic seed, activate the reincarnation ritual, and start the next reincarnation of Hazama Village.
No matter which condition is met, this special task can be completed.
So which route should you take?
A picture inexplicably popped up in Luo Jie's mind - an old man with a red hat and a white beard clasped his fingers together and slowly made a fist.
Okay, just kidding.
Since he is completely sure of defeating "Tōdoroki", there is no need to complicate simple things and take the BAD-END route.
…
The next day, "Boom" started training Luo Jie and "Shiyin".
Luo Jie knew very well that the reason why "Boom" taught the two of them without reservation was not out of enthusiasm or support for the younger generation, but simply because the mother body of the reincarnation ceremony would draw a lot of magic power from the provider of the magic seed.
The stronger they are cultivated, the greater the magic power they will inherit after reincarnation.
Training two people at the same time also means choosing the best among the best.
In fact, with Luo Jie's current strength, he could definitely start a direct battle with "Boom", but this would be meaningless.
Let’s not talk about whether it hurts others or not. The key is that it is completely uninterested.
The biggest reward for this special mission is "Tōdoroki"'s superb martial arts skills. At least until "Todoroki" has learned all his life, starting a war will be a loss.
"Before I formally teach you martial arts, I want to talk about magic first."
"Boom" raised his left hand, and a ball of flame burned fiercely in his palm out of thin air. The deep wrinkles on his face were like dark ravines under the firelight.
"Qi is the energy produced by the body, while magic is the energy produced by the spirit... A long time ago, people with magic qualifications could use magic of various attributes by chanting specific incantations."
"But precisely because of this, magicians have gradually fallen into a strange circle. The more profound the magic is studied, the more complex and long the incantations are, and the more stringent the qualification requirements for spellcasters are."
"Until the emergence of "Qi", which ordinary people can practice, magic gradually withdrew from the stage of history and became a miraculous art that only existed in legends."
