A wooden fence surrounded the garden, and a purple bell flower was planted in the courtyard, like a string of small bells hanging there.
Whenever the breeze blows, the pleasant sound of bells ripples.
This is a mansion that Aaron prepared for himself. He has dozens of similar villas across the continent.
It has to be said that time is a good helper in accumulating wealth.
And among these villas, there are also shadowy butlers, attendants, and demon hunters... who handle chores for Aaron.
Pharmacy room.
He picked up a test tube and stared at a little purple blood in it.
The mental power of the mid-level warlock apprentice directly penetrated into the test tube, constantly groping and exploring...
Hiss...
Aaron seemed to hear something.
In the darkness, something with scales seemed to be hiding... But when he wanted to pursue more.
Katcha!
Aaron opened his eyes and saw that the glass of the test tube was broken, and the blood inside was emitting white mist and evaporating rapidly...
"Failed again..." He murmured.
The vision he saw when he was promoted to Master Demon Hunter has always made Aaron's heart heavy.
He knew that if it weren't for him, no master demon hunter would be able to pass that kind of illusion and test!
Just the words of the Mother of Snakes and the Flower of Evil can make the Master Demon Hunter go crazy and collapse!
'Perhaps...this is the reason why all the witcher experiments failed.'
He had some guesses in his mind, and became even more interested in the Mother of Snakes.
"But now, I can confirm that Dan Su Shi> has a slight relationship with the illusion... This is enough
Got it!"
"I need to find more, more..."
Aaron thought for a long time and walked out of the room: "Prepare a hot spring for me... After I take a bath, I hope to see a Baisen palace banquet."
"yes!"
A maid quickly bowed and left.
But the other maid did not leave, and handed over a note: "Sir... this was sent from the Star Heights when you were doing the experiment... because you had previously ordered that no one be disturbed..."
Aaron's current identity is one of the top executives of Shadow Spider, so of course this maid is respectful.
"oh."
Aaron took the note, opened it, and saw a piece of information about a certain warlock family written on it.
He nodded and put the note away.
After the maid left, she took out a silver metal bottle and dropped a drop of liquid on the paper.
A new line of red text appeared. "The airship has left... There is no news from Alexander. Is it suspected that he successfully boarded the ship..."
"Unless he angers the warlock and is reduced to a corpse, there is a higher chance of boarding the ship..."
Aaron lit the note on fire with a smile on his face: "Finally there is good news, let's celebrate tonight..."
After all, Aaron is a very self-controlled person.
After a little indulgence, I still insist on meditating every day.
"Blood without Darkness" is actually a bloodline meditation method. The stronger the bloodline, the better the effect. After all, the bloodthirsty crazy bird is too useless...
Even so, with his continuous efforts and the digital assistance of the attribute column, Aaron's meditation progress is also gradually improving.
…
Ellie has seventh-level qualifications according to Yin Lis' estimation. It took about three years to become a junior apprentice, and then she was wasted.
Aaron has been working hard to meditate, rain or shine, and it still took him about ten years to finally break through.
It became even more difficult after that, and it took decades to barely break through to the mid-level apprenticeship.
According to his estimation, it will take at least more than fifty years before he may be able to try and become a senior apprentice!
In the Warlock Continent, this is a standard waste! After all, the sooner you are promoted to a senior apprentice, the better you will become a scholar in the future.
The more likely it is that you will become a formal warlock!
Once you are over thirty and have not become a senior apprentice, you will basically have no hope of being promoted to a formal sorcerer for the rest of your life!
Because of this, qualifications above the fifth level are widely sought after.
It’s not that there is nothing on the rice, but the hard work of the ice group I0 shells, and the accumulation of resources several times!
According to the standards of Warlock Continent, Aaron can already give up directly.
Fortunately, he was not in a hurry at all and just accumulated his energy and willpower bit by bit.
Aaron knows very well that taking some drugs to stimulate a sudden increase in willpower will inevitably lead to the disadvantages of mixed willpower.
On the contrary, he accumulated it bit by bit,
The rate is higher - provided the criteria for promotion are met.
Some bloodline-gathering potions and willpower-increasing potions that can stun people have been discarded.
At most, save it and prepare it as capital for future investment.
…
Time is like running water, gone and never returned.
With the passage of time, the originally gorgeous villas have become mottled, the wood has rotted, and they have been renovated several times.
Aaron had also given up his original identity and address long ago, changed to another identity, and traveled around the mainland.
This day.
He arrived at Dick's collar and looked at the ruins of the cemetery, feeling a little emotional.
"Unknowingly...a hundred years have passed by like this."
Aaron glanced at the age in the attribute column and sighed:
[Level 0 spells: Mage's Hand, Flash, Zuoluo Sneak Attack Palm, Zuoluo Protective Palm, Yang Explosion, Group Blood Explosion]
…
It took him a full sixty or seventy years to perfect the "Blood of Darkness" meditation method and successfully promoted to a high-level warlock apprentice.
This kind of strength should have reached the top of the Adsen continent.
Moreover, when I was idle and bored, I created many variants of level 0 witchcraft based on the two templates of 'Mage's Hand' and 'Flash', as well as the demon hunter's blood talent.
Unfortunately, after reaching a certain stage, Aaron also found that he had entered a certain bottleneck and made no progress for a long time.
If an ordinary warlock apprentice encounters this, he must communicate with other apprentices, change to advanced meditation methods, or collect intelligence and refine higher-level potions to assist in breakthroughs.
But Aaron chose to lie flat!
The bottleneck thing, maybe after a few hundred years of grinding, it will naturally break through!
At this time, looking at the town of Ya'nan which has about doubled in size, and the large number of descendants of Gu Yin and Ellie in the town, Aaron is quite satisfied:
…
"Well, the second wave of apprentices has also been sent to Star Heights..."
"I just don't know... what surprises there will be this time..."
When he developed Shadow Spider, he had one principle, which was not to touch upon warlocks.
In this way, you can keep a low profile and avoid being hit.
And when the airship comes once every hundred years, there are 100% official warlocks following it all the way to protect it. Aaron was stupid before asking for relevant information.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until the aerostat leaves and then ask around slowly...
Aaron was very patient and waited in the town for half a year. On this day, knights holding bright flags rushed into the small town of Yanan at lightning speed.
On top of the flag, there is also the royal emblem of the Kingdom of Rogue.
This scene made many small town residents worried and didn't know what was going on.
Soon, the local lord, Baron Dick, arrived.
The other party was a young man who had just inherited the title. He had never seen such a battle before, and his face was a little pale.
And a Duke of the kingdom, with the appointment signed by the king, began to read aloud: "From today on, the Dick Territory will be changed to the Menil Territory, and it will be merged with the three nearby viscounties and five baronies into the earl territory.
The Mayni family is in charge!”
Meni... is the surname of little Jack from Meni Village.
Now this family is also spreading in Yanan Town. "No! Why didn't I know...this is my territory! I want to complain to the Noble Council!"
Baron Dick screamed.
"This is your power, Your Excellency Baron... But this order is actually jointly recognized by all the major kingdoms and principalities in the mainland. You should know its weight!"
The Grand Duke looked at Baron Dick with a sneer.
In normal times, not even the king could deprive a powerful baron of his territory unless he wanted to go to war.
But now, isn't this a special situation...
The Meni family members in the town have been knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky.
The Grand Duke ignored it, turned to look at a carriage escorted by knights, and came to the window.
"Master Minnie, are you satisfied with this arrangement..."
From the carriage, an old woman wearing a green robe, gray hair, and a black pointed hat came down.
She looked at the town with a confused expression: "This is... my father's hometown...!"
"Yes……·"
The Grand Duke of the Royal Family replied with a hint of sadness. "I want to see Grandpa Gu Yin...well, I'm afraid he will have died a long time ago..."
A wry smile appeared on Minnie's face: "Take me to the cemetery area to see..."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on the face of the royal prince: "The place has been abandoned, but I have found someone to clean it up... It only takes one night, and it will definitely be restored to the original state early tomorrow morning! I promise!"
"There is a big shot in the Meni family. You see...even the royal family directly conferred the title of earl. This would be impossible without going through a war."
Aaron mingled among the crowd, listening to the excited gossips and discussions of the townspeople: "And Baron Dick... This guy collected taxes as soon as he took office. He deserves to lose his territory, haha... The ancestors of the Dick family will probably be angry from the grave."
Jump out!"
…
He looked in the direction of Master Minnie and said slightly: "I haven't noticed that I...most likely am not a formal warlock...but I have been courted and treated by many warlock families such as Misri. It seems that I am a high-level warlock apprentice."
big."
"Alexander's daughter..." "Sure enough, Alexander is dead. This is a development that is in line with his expectations. After all, it is difficult to become an official sorcerer!
A sorcerer's apprentice can only live to be about a hundred years old at most. Even if Alexander doesn't encounter any accidents, he is very likely to die of old age.
But his descendants may return to this land, their father's hometown!
'But to be honest... Those who can afford the shipping fee must be the Warlock Apprentice... The Warlock Apprentice has returned to the remote countryside... It can only be for one reason. He can't survive in the Warlock Continent... If he can't survive, that's good.
Only a warlock apprentice is easy to bully!'
Of course, Aaron did not intend to bully the descendants of these old acquaintances.
He was just going to wait until Minnie died of old age and then read Alexander's diary.
It would be better if we could find some other important information.

…
Master Minnie came back alone and has no other descendants.
In a small town, a young man from the Meny family who was relatively close by blood got lucky and rose to the top in one step and became the Earl of Meny.
The original Lancaster Castle has also been expanded and turned into a magnificent Earl's Castle.
When the construction of Count Meny's fortress was completed, the count also entered middle age from youth and learned to properly handle territorial affairs and establish good relations with various nobles.
And he knew the reason for all this glory and wealth.
Therefore, the earl goes to the cemetery every week to visit the ancestor.
Master Minnie has a withdrawn personality and likes quietness, so she does not live in the castle. Instead, she opens a small wooden house in the built cemetery.
Many members of the Meni family were buried there, as well as Master Gu Yin, and even the ashes of her parents she brought back.
The gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the cemetery. Count Meni got out of the carriage and came to a wooden house. He bowed down respectfully: "Aunt Minnie, I'm here to see you!"
"Come in..."
An old voice came from the wooden house. Count Meni walked in and saw Minnie sitting in front of an alchemy table, with a black octopus-like creature crawling on her arm and crawling on it.
Countless fat leeches were lying on her back sucking blood.
No matter how many times he watched this scene, it still made Count Meny's scalp numb.
He knew that this was the sequelae of Aunt Minnie's injury in a battle, and she had not recovered until now.
"Auntie, I'm here this time about the marriage proposal of the Rogge royal family..."
Count Meny hesitated and spoke.
"When I come back, the identity of the Meni family as a warlock family cannot be concealed..."
Master Minnie sighed: "Any warlock family is worried about bloodline degradation, so marriage is nothing... What I want to guard against is that the other party annexes our entire family!"
"Heihe... In the Warlock Continent, nothing is impossible. I have seen a curse that wiped out an entire family's bloodline, and I also know six or seven ways to extract mortal blood..."
Master Minnie sneered several times: "Who knows that I am about to die of old age, and my family has not trained a second sorcerer apprentice... The tricks of those hyenas are really inferior to those on the continent on the other side of the ocean."
"Then what should we do..." Count Meni's expression became extremely serious.
"It's very simple, just recruit a group and fight a group...but the key is to train your own sorcerer apprentices."
Minnie sighed: "I have made arrangements... Next, you don't need to come to see me, let me face death calmly."
