Chapter 1123: Sending Someone Off (5000 5200 Supplement)
Deep in the dense forest.
A group of over a dozen tall men were sitting on the ground, surrounding a campfire.
On the black trees nearby, a boy and a girl were hung up, tear tracks on their faces.
Slap!
A scarred man picked up a whip and lashed it fiercely against the little boy.
"Ah!"
A bone-deep whip mark appeared on the little boy's face, and he let out a miserable scream.
"Damn it... it was the grandmother of these two brats who caused the deaths of so many of our brothers."
But the appearance remained young, still full of youthful Vitality.
"Idiot, do you think I am Ellie... when threatened, the best course of action is to finish off both the kidnappers and the hostages!"
The bandit leader raised his head and saw a figure walking slowly from outside the dense forest, unable to help but widen his eyes: "Just one person? I was actually scared by one person? Ah ah ah... I am going to kill you!"
"Guin, you also did very well..."
Then, a giant snake as thick as a water bucket, with black sharp horns on its forehead and fangs like daggers, slithered out from within.
By the time he returned to the camp, he saw a man with triangular eyes holding a dagger against the back of the boy and girl: "Don't come over... otherwise I will kill them! They are descendants highly valued by that female Witcher!"
Thump, thump!
"Going to the Warlock Continent at this time is just being at the very bottom; it is better to be king in the novice village..."
【Profession: Witcher (Grandmaster)】
"And then?"
"I am very angry!"
Aaron's voice was cold, as if devoid of a shred of emotion.
After Alexander left with the map and the money bag, Guin stood up, walked out of the Graveyard, and arrived at a dense forest.
Hiss, hiss!
The old Gravekeeper Guin, his face full of wrinkles, held a cane: "Then... the Old Witcher also met his death; after all... he was already very old."
Seeing this scene, the little boy's eyes seemed to have a glimmer of Light...
"Some people are slow birds that start early, some start late, and others don't fly at all, simply laying an egg and passing their wishes to the next generation..."
Blood and brains splattered all over the ground nearby.
Aaron flicked his long sword a few times, cutting the ropes of the two boys and girls: "If you want to live, follow me..."
"Ellie... is my ancestor, right?" Alexander's voice was low: "Grandpa Guin... I know my ancestor was not a Witcher, why did you tell a false story?"
Guin nodded: "Follow me!"
"Boss..."
The bandit leader pulled a dagger from his boot and gestured back and forth on the little girl's cheek: "Even if you aren't that woman's relatives, you are the people she cares about most... I definitely won't let you die too comfortably..."
His voice carried a trace of fear, and also a trace of secret smugness.
"Sometimes, the truth or falsehood of a story is not important; what matters is whether it can move people."
The two children had long since cried until their voices were hoarse; at this moment, they could only babble, emitting low sounds.
【Warlock Talent: Ninth Grade】
【Age: 209】
Finally, it hung down powerlessly.
He stood up and beckoned his brothers to come forward, seeing a black-robed figure walking slowly closer.
As for the off-chance that Alexander failed?
"Alexander, why don't you leave?"
Chirp!
A violent white Light appeared, like an arrow, piercing toward the vertical pupil of the son of Vasuki.
Guin sighed: "I only need a promise from you; when you have achieved success in your studies, come back once... and help my descendants."
A streak of black Light flashed in the jungle.
Guin said with a chuckle.
Not long after, he met a figure wearing a cloak: "My lord... I have followed your instructions and provided the funding... with our people taking care of them along the way, the little ones will definitely arrive safely at the airship landing site, but we cannot intervene in what happens afterward..."
Suddenly...
Alexander was the child he favored, and he had been subtly cultivating the other's interest in adventure since childhood.
【Genetic Ability: Blood Surge, Blood Manipulation (Single), Blood Domain】
As someone who knew the truth of this world, how could he not covet the Warlock bloodline?
Aaron had long since made multiple preparations.
The other party's eyes held confusion and the fear of death, trembling as they reached their palm toward the sky.
"The power of blood, the power of time..."
Guin chuckled: "Then... Alexander, what do you want to do?"
Guin muttered in his heart, his expression inevitably becoming more humble and respectful, and he turned to go back.
Without waiting for the little boy to answer, Guin said: "It is called—Warlock! Warlocks are a group of people who pursue the bloodline; they can control fire and ice, bring luck and misfortune, and they master the power of spells, even capable of changing the world! And you... also possess the Warlock aptitude of the ancestor Ellie!"
"Speaking of which, that woman is really strong... I almost thought we were going to die here, fortunately... fortunately she is particularly stupid, hahaha!"
"Shadow Spider, truly a terrifying organization... It is said that their leader is a Secret Transmission, and most of the high-level members don't know who the head of the spider is..."
He cursed and swore, then poured another gulp of wine into his mouth.
A bandit was struck in the chest by a flying knife and fell down.
These powerful beings, these Witchers who were not quite human, all seemed to have something wrong with their brains.
"Grandpa Guin must have done it on purpose, hmph!"
"A promise!"
Aaron couldn't be bothered to listen to what he was saying and turned to leave immediately.
The bandit leader let out a loud shout, quickly crawled onto the ground, and gripped his weapon tightly.
"That woman... that woman's accomplice has come for revenge!"
"Maya!"
It was just a pity that her heart was too soft... she was unwilling to let her grandchildren suffer even the slightest bit of harm.
Clang!
Before the words had even faded, Aaron had already drawn his longsword and charged.
【Talent: Changsheng】
Aaron thought to himself while walking through the dense forest.
【Gene Mutation: Three times】
Guin immediately knelt down.
This had long been within Aaron's considerations; it was merely a matter of sending out a second and third wave of children.
He crossed a distance of over ten meters in a single stride, his speed unbelievably fast.
Alexander listened with a surging heart: "How can one become a Warlock?"
"It is impossible for a Formal Warlock to ever appear here; you need an opportunity, an opportunity to travel to other continents to study... Fortunately, this opportunity has arrived. Go to the seaside, find the Airship from the Warlock Continent, and pass the test; you can then obtain a ticket. This is your only chance to push open the door to the Warlocks!"
The same strategy will surely succeed...
"Many thanks, my lord!"
The Chaos Power within the void was stirred.
"So..."
They only needed to hold their blades horizontally and fix them in place... the force of the horses' charge would be enough to sever the wooden stakes!
The bandit leader cast a cold gaze toward the man with triangular eyes.
"Son of Vasuki... it seems to be nothing more than a failed, genetically modified monster!"
Guin asked with a chuckle.
【Mana: 70】
At this moment, he glanced at the attribute panel:
Aaron waved his hand.
"Alexander... I hope you can succeed."
Then, wait for them to return to the family and bring back their heritage.
Strictly speaking, Witchers also count as one type.
And the most gentle method is through marriage, allowing one's own family to possess Warlock bloodlines, causing the probability of talented individuals appearing among descendants to skyrocket!
His forehead was covered in both cold sweat and a sense of relief; when he looked up, he realized that the figure of that lord had long since vanished.
"But... I don't know how to go, nor do I know how to obtain a ticket?" Alexander looked at Guin with burning eyes: "Grandpa Guin... what do you want? As long as I can give it, I will certainly give it to you!"
After passing the position of Gravekeeper to Guin, he had been traveling across Aderson Island, incidentally examining the snake-related customs and cultures of every region.
The key was that Alexander even thought this was his own decision!
A sound of footsteps approached, very sparse; there was only one person!
"The two of you..."
And then, sure enough, today's scene occurred.
Aderson Island is not only very small in area, but as a desert for Warlocks, it also lacks advanced resources; most importantly, there are monsters everywhere!
"I want... to become someone like my ancestors. I want to possess power that transcends Witchers. I don't want the tragedies of the previous generations to happen to my next generation!" Alexander's voice was low: "I have meditated on the Star Chart left by my ancestors; I am someone with aptitude!"
"Besides that, if Alexander succeeds, I hope he can bring me a surprise..."
He looked at Guin, who was completely unaware of his true identity: "I will reward you... I will not punish you for the matter of you intentionally arranging for your descendants to marry Ellie's descendants."
A group of teenagers around thirteen or fourteen years old surrounded the white-haired Guin, asking about the stories of the past: "The friend of the female Witcher Ellie, that old Witcher Zoro... what did he go on to do later? Was it slaying tree spirits, or saving a princess from a curse?"
【Level 0 Spells: Mage Hand, Flash】
Pfft!
A pitch-black flying knife pierced directly through his head, flipping off half his skull.
【Name: Aaron (Zoro)】
"Very good, it seems you have indeed learned many things."
Aaron's speed was truly too fast; he caught up with the fleeing bandits one by one and instantly decapitated them.
'I am the one who won't fly... the Warlock Continent is too dangerous; better to send someone to test the waters first...'
A trace of disappointment flashed across Aaron's face.
When he reached the edge of the camp, his Cross Sword plunged downward, stabbing into the back of a 'corpse'.
He was now over two hundred years old.
As everyone knows, the lethality of a cavalry charge often does not lie in the swinging of a blade.
Half a month later.
Dick Territory.
Even if Alexander failed, Aaron would continue to cultivate those with Warlock talent and send them to the Warlock Continent.
"Hiss hiss!"
A group of children ran away, leaving only one little boy with curly black hair.
The little boy climbed up tremblingly: "W-we..."
Upon hearing this, the leader spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the little girl's face: "Haha... did you hear that? You are just bastards who popped out from who knows where!"
The son of Vasuki let out a miserable shriek; it was a creature that naturally preferred cold, damp, and dark environments, and its eyes were its weak point, unable to withstand bright light.
A foul, fishy stench surged continuously out from the cave.
"The beginning was brilliant, the middle was okay, but the ending was too rotten."
"This story is not good at all."
"Pah!"
【Will: 7】
He brought Alexander into the Gravekeeper's hut and handed a map to Alexander: "Do you know... what the path you are about to walk is called?"
One of them was to instill in the descendants of Ellie and Guin the good habit of writing a diary every day!
As everyone knows, habits formed from a young age are hard to change, and writing a diary is not a bad habit either.
"Although I have already abandoned Ellie, she was, after all, my person once... how dare you?"
As an Immortal, he had always been very patient.
He had taken in Ellie's descendants back then, encouraged them to reproduce as much as possible, and then screened for children with talent—he had been waiting for this day!
The once-in-a-century selection day!
Aaron sighed, thinking of Ellie.
Aaron arrived outside a cave.
The bandits screamed and scattered in a panic.
The most critical thing was to learn more about the Warlock Continent through their diaries!
"This is cloud-traveling... although I haven't been there, I have already seen the scenery."
【Warlock Level: Intermediate Apprentice】
Merely by drawing his sword during the charge, the terrifying kinetic energy cut a bandit in half at the waist...
Those who ran away were all idiots!
Look... this is the way a truly smart person acts!
And the vast majority had no value; the Extraordinary Material they provided was something a Demon Hunter might fancy, but a Warlock would not.
The son of Vasuki spat out its purple-black tongue and suddenly lunged toward Aaron.
Organized and disciplined bandits existed only in the imagination, let alone the fact that they had just had their courage broken by Ellie yesterday and deeply understood the gap between mortals and non-mortals!
Pfft!
"Ah!"
The next instant, Aaron threw a handful of powder from his hand and chanted the incantation rapidly.
In fact, even if her grandchildren were taken hostage, she should still have the confidence to forcibly rescue the hostages, provided she was confident in her own skills and not afraid of losses.
"Demon Hunters cannot reproduce, so... that is likely a descendant she adopted."
A thin man with triangular eyes nearby took a bite of mutton: "That woman might be a Legendary Demon Hunter... aside from those humanoid monsters, I can't think of anyone else who would be that strong..."
The triangular-eyed man replied.
They probably all belonged to the Warlock's experimental subjects; later, the experimental garden was abandoned, and they escaped...
"Ninth Grade aptitude, as expected, it is still too poor. Spending so much time, I have only just barely reached Intermediate Apprentice, capable of casting Level 0 Sorcery..."
"Enemy attack!!!"
That corpse immediately trembled, flipped over, and with a ferocious face, it was none other than the bandit leader!
So-called interests and hobbies can actually be influenced and cultivated Post-Heaven.
"It doesn't matter, as long as this matter is accomplished."
Extreme speed brings about terrifying lethality!
"Another Demon Hunter!"
【Meditation Method: Darkless Blood (269/3000) (Third Layer)】
And after casting a Flash, Aaron drew his Cross Sword and stabbed it into the seven-inch spot of the son of Vasuki with one strike...
A moment later, he picked up a test tube and collected some of the son of Vasuki's blood from the giant snake corpse: "Take it back to study; I hope there are some clues..."
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and Teachers' Day to all book friends!!
