After the convoy stopped, Orochimaru used the wizard to quickly build several wooden houses. He smiled and looked at Rocco and said, "How about it? I optimized an apprentice-level witchcraft. This is my use of wood escape.
The method is deduced from the aggregation of plant elements.”
Rocco looked at the exquisite wooden house in front of him, rolled his eyes and said: "Orochimaru, I think you are still a little obsessed with Wood Release. But, when did I say that we would live here?"
Now it was Orochimaru's turn to look confused.
What? Didn’t you choose this place just to avoid the Wizarding War? Why don’t you plan to live here now?
The witches didn't understand either. They all looked at Rocco.
Rocco smiled and said: "Put the goods into the space bag and put the carriage into the cave. The horses will be kept in this valley. We will return to Falak's territory in a while. Have you forgotten how I sent Hinata back?
"
Everyone suddenly realized. Rocco looked at them funny. He had no habit of being abused. He was just on his way. If he had to live here for a year and a half, he would not do it.
Soon, the knights packed up and stood beside Rocco.
"Ready? Let's go back to Falak." After Rocco finished speaking, he gave the order to the system.
Everyone felt that their vision went dark, then brightened again, and then the place changed to a huge basement.
When Hinata saw Rocco and others putting down the test tubes in their hands, she ran over happily, hugged Roko and said: "Rocco-kun, why are you back? Does it look like you are all back now? Could it be that in the wizard?
What powerful enemies have we encountered on the mainland?" Apart from encountering powerful enemies, Rocco would not teleport everyone back.
Rocco also smiled and hugged Hinata, feeling Hinata's delicate body, and said gently: "No, we encountered a wizard war on the road, so we came back to escape. This time we may have to repair for a year.
."
Hinata was overjoyed. "That's great. Rocco-kun, you don't know how much sister Ellie misses you. She talks about you every day. Butler Hughes also said that if Rocco-kun doesn't come back, Ellie will become a resentful woman."
Yeah. Hee hee."
Rocco's face turned dark. Why do you blame your wife? It has only been a few years. They are not worried about life expectancy, so what else are they worried about?
Hinata looked at Rocco and rolled her eyes and said: "Hehe, Rocco-kun, you don't know that after Falak's territory got on the right track, there weren't many things happening in the territory. The barbarians have not invaded our side in these years.
, all headed to the west. The nobles around us are also fawning over us. In addition to cultivation, it is cultivation, and now even the old housekeeper Xiu Si has reached the level of a first-level wizard apprentice under the potion I made. "
"Well? Did Hughes take the path of a wizard?" Rocco asked. How could Hughes take the path of a wizard at such an old age? This is unreasonable.
Hinata said with a somewhat gloomy face: "No, Butler Hughes has not practiced as a wizard. Butler Hughes's body is aging and he cannot practice as a knight. He does not have the qualifications for a wizard, but he sees that everyone has begun to become stronger and their lifespan has increased. Hughes
The butler was afraid that he would no longer be able to protect the territory for Mr. Rocco, so he begged me to transform him into a lich."
"What!!! Lich?" Rocco was shocked? The so-called lich means that the soul is forever trapped in the phylactery and can never escape? If a lich's soul comes out of the phylactery, it will be 100% dead. But the lich
There is also an advantage to being a demon, that is, you can transform your body at will, and if it doesn't work, you can also change your body.
But none of the wizards become lichs. The soul cannot be free? This is not what the wizards want.
"Well, Butler Hughes said? As long as it can help Mr. Rocco protect the territory for generations? Even if he becomes a lich who can never leave the life box, he is willing." Hinata gently hugged Roko and said: "Roko
Kejun? Mr. Hughes, the old butler, is the most loyal person I have ever seen. Such qualities are very rare even in the ninja world? This is an old man who has never seen the world."
Rocco didn't know whether he was in a good or bad mood. Regarding Hughes's choice, it was still a good thing. Originally, he was thinking of using the Life Extension Pill to increase Hughes's lifespan. Now he has become a lich. Although the phylactery has become fatal.
Weakness? But it can be cultivated with its own strength. As for the life box? Isn’t it easy for people to find it? Rocco has countless ways.
"Ah!!! Rocco-kun, I'm going to inform everyone." Hinata seemed to have reacted and ran out of the basement quickly.
During this process? Orochimaru and the Witch Knights made no sound.
They were also very moved when they heard that Rocco's butler was willing to become a lich in order to be loyal to Rocco for generations to come.
Lich! They also know that it is an extreme cultivation method. It is a method developed by ancient wizards seeking breakthroughs in order to increase their life span. This method has been passed down. However, Lich has a fatal weakness.
That's the phylactery? As long as you find the lich's phylactery, you will control the life of a lich. Liches will have to endure the pain of their souls every few hundred years. Have you heard of that feeling? You can't seek death in order to survive.
No. It has to last for ten years. It’s scary to think about it.
Involuntarily, everyone felt admiration for this butler.
"Okay, let's go out. Orochimaru, there are many laboratories here. You can use them with peace of mind. However, you can't experiment with your dangerous gadgets. I don't want witchcraft contamination in my territory." Rocco warned.
road.
Orochimaru smiled and said: "I'm not that stupid!!" What a joke, this is their last retreat, how could he mess around on his own territory?
"Feisili, you can move freely. Remember, don't leave the territory. I don't want the strength of the territory to be known to the outside world." Rocco ordered.
Rocco knew that Feisili and the others who had become wizards had their own charm. If something happened outside, wouldn't it be an unreasonable disaster?
Just when Rocco was telling them.
The sound of footsteps could be heard outside.
"Dear..." Ellie quickly ran over and hugged Rocco. "You are finally back. Do you know how much we miss you." Ellie's face turned red. A pair of tender eyes stared at Rocco.
Co said.
Rocco was embarrassed. Speaking of which, after he kidnapped Ellie, he didn't spend much time with her. Instead, he asked her to manage the entire viscounty.
His eyes shifted to Hughes again.
For some reason, Rocco's eyes were slightly red. He let go of Ellie and slowly walked to Hughes and said, "Grandpa Hughes, why are you doing this? Hey! The Life Extension Pill can also make you live a long time."
A long time."
Hughes shook his head and smiled and said: "Master, I know, but I also know that this life-extending pill is definitely not easy to obtain. If you let me, a useless old guy, embarrass you, Master, then I am an incompetent housekeeper.
Ah. Besides, now that I have transformed into a lich, my strength has greatly increased, and I can live for a long time. When the time comes, I, Xiu Si, will always be able to help the young master protect the territory. Even if the young master is wandering around outside, when will he get tired?
Just come back."
Rocco didn't speak, stared at Hughes, and sighed in his heart. He made up his mind. He must deduce a way to deal with this lich's shortcomings in the future.
