"The Duke and I hit it off right from the start, so I'd like to invite the Duke to my mansion for dinner. You guys can go back after you're done with your work." Inside the Warlock Guild, Rosello was relaying an order to her subordinates.
"Yes, President." Of course, the subordinates didn't find it strange. After all, Li Huailin had beaten Rosello to such a state, so it was normal for Rosello to thank Li Huailin for treating him to a meal. Moreover, it was a good thing for them that both sides were having a good time. They all hoped that Li Huailin and the Warlock Guild would cooperate more, so that they would have more opportunities.
"President, I don't know why, but a few of them felt unwell at the same time. They've already left," Kyle reported. In fact, he also felt a little unwell, but he insisted on staying. After all, Li Huailin was still here, and as the main receptionist, he couldn't leave early.
"I got it." Rosello naturally knew what was going on. She nodded calmly and said, "If you're not feeling well, then rest well. Let them rest tomorrow."
"Yes, Guild Leader." Kyle nodded in agreement. "Duke Ernest …"
"I'll personally receive the Duke. You can leave after you're done with your work," Rosello said.
"Yes, President. I understand." Kyle nodded.
The two quickly left the Warlock Guild. Following Rosello, Li Huailin soon arrived at a manor on the outskirts of Canwesa City. The manor was very large, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. If it were in the real world, it would definitely be at the level of a suburban villa. Of course, Li Huailin's Duke's mansion was much larger than this place.
Although it was near the suburbs, it wasn't an uninhabited place. In fact, there were quite a lot of people here. As soon as Rosello reached the entrance, someone came to greet her.
"Master." An old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies walked out of the mansion and greeted Rosello. He then looked at Li Huailin, who was beside Rosello. He immediately saluted and said, "This must be the Duke of Aquitaine of the Nasser Empire. Welcome."
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded casually. Li Huailin had also seen Roselo asking someone to report back first, so it was very normal for them to be prepared.
Li Huailin didn't respond. Of course, the housekeeper didn't say anything either. After all, Li Huailin was a noble. Nodding to a housekeeper like him was already good enough. After bowing, the housekeeper immediately welcomed Li Huailin inside. Of course, the servants were already waiting inside the mansion to welcome him.
"This is my mansion." Luo Saluo gave a brief explanation to him. He had never inherited the position of the Korunsal family head, so this was not the territory of the Korunsal family. This was not the main residence of Rosello's family, because the position of the family head had been transferred to his son. This was considered a side residence that he had bought before, but now it was his residence.
Although it was a little strange, Li Huailin still followed Rosello into the door.
"I have something important to discuss with the Duke. No one is allowed to go up to the second floor," Rosello said as they walked to the staircase. "Claude, be careful."
"Yes, Master," the man called Cleland bowed.
Luo Saluo brought Li Huailin to a room on the second floor that looked like a study. After entering the room, Luo Saluo immediately locked the door.
"You hid your brother in your own house?" Li Huailin asked, slightly surprised.
"Warren has shouldered so much for the guild. Of course, I can't let anything happen to him." Luo Saluo nodded and said, "When I bought this side residence a few decades ago, I discovered some surprising things about it. Of course, other than my housekeeper Claude, no one else knew about these things. At that time, because I was targeted by the Mage Guild, I always felt that something bad would happen, so I hid these things on purpose just in case. Fifty years ago, when something happened, this place really came in handy. "
As she spoke, Luo Saluo casually did a few things on the desk next to her. Anyway, Li Huailin did not understand what was going on. Soon, the wall next to him opened by itself, and a secret passage appeared in front of them.
Luo Saluo picked up the lamp next to her and said to Li Huailin, "Duke, please follow me. The path below is not very easy."
Li Huailin nodded and followed Luo Saluo into the secret passage.
Just as Luo Saluo said, the secret passage was indeed not easy to walk. There were no windows at all, and it was a completely enclosed environment. The only source of light was the lamp in Luo Saluo's hand, and it was even lit, so it was obvious that the light was not very good.
The two of them held onto the wall and slowly moved forward. Li Huailin felt that they were going down. After walking for a while, Li Huailin saw a faint light in front of them.
The source of the light came from a room at the end of the secret passage. He did not know that this room was really big, and there was also light in it. Of course, it was still using oil lamps. The room was a mess of all kinds of things. Books, notes, unknown instruments, and drawings were thrown all over the floor. Li Huailin had seen this kind of scene many times. Was the room of a slightly more powerful researcher always like this? Would it kill them to make it a little tidier?
At the innermost part of the room was a big table, and on it was also a messy variety of things. And sitting in front of the table was a person. Now, from Li Huailin's angle, he could only see the back of the person, but from the back, he could tell that the person was an old man. And as an NPC, Li Huailin could now see the name above the person's head, showing that it was the person he was looking for, Warren. And just by looking at the back, Li Huailin felt that this guy looked a lot older than his brother Luo Saluo.
"So you're finally here?" Warren's old voice came slowly from the front. It sounded slightly complicated, a little sad, and a little disappointed, but most of it was filled with unwillingness. "Fine, I've been hiding for 50 years. I'm not going to hide anymore."
"Warren …" Luo Saluo knew that Warren had misunderstood. This was because this secret room was only known to Luo Saluo and the butler who had been delivering food to him. Now that Luo Saluo and Li Huailin had appeared, Warren misunderstood that they were looking for him. Luo Saluo also knew that her brother had misunderstood something, so she hurriedly tried to explain, but before she could open her mouth, Warren spoke first.
"Don't worry, Big Brother. I won't make things difficult for you …" Warren said. "You over there, researching Necromancy is my own business. I'm willing to go with you, but I hope that you can forgive my brother for hiding me."
"I heard that you're very familiar with Necromancy?" Li Huailin stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, I admit that I'm researching Necromancy," Warren immediately said. "Not just researching, I can proudly say that I'm the strongest Necromancer on the continent. I'm even more proficient in Necromancy than the Necromancers of the Necromancers."
"Oh, that's great. You're the one I wanted." Li Huailin was overjoyed. Sure enough, it wasn't a waste to look for him. The strongest Necromancer was the one he wanted.
"Huh?" Warren was slightly stunned. He didn't quite understand what Li Huailin meant, so he turned around and saw Li Huailin for the first time.
"So young?" Warren was slightly stunned. At first, he thought that the other party was here to capture him, but he thought that the other party should be at least Saint-rank. However, the person in front of him didn't look like a Saint-rank character at all. Even if he started training in his mother's womb, he wouldn't be able to reach this level.
Li Huailin also saw Warren's face. To be honest, Warren and Rosello were really brothers. Their facial shapes were quite similar, but Warren was indeed a little old and clumsy. He looked like a lamp that was about to run out of oil. Li Huailin didn't know whether it was because his strength wasn't as good as Rosello's or because he was under too much pressure. Either way, he looked like an old man that could die at any time.
"What are you …" Seeing his brother's expression, Warren felt that things weren't as he thought, so he asked, "Who are you …"
"Do you want to die?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
This question was really strange, causing the two of them to stare blankly. What's going on? Why is he asking me if I want to die?
"You study Necromancy. Do you want to become an Undead?" Li Huailin asked again.
"Hmm?" This time, Warren understood what Li Huailin meant, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head. "No one should be able to deal with my body now. If my brother and I study Necromancy together, it might be possible, but …"
"I have a way," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Warren was slightly stunned. He then sized up Li Huailin, and his eyes suddenly flashed with magic. "With your strength … it's impossible."
Saint-rank existences could easily see through Li Huailin's strength. Li Huailin had already seen this at his mentor's place, so Li Huailin wasn't surprised. Smiling, Li Huailin said, "You should also know about the Divine Sword."
"Divine Sword?" Warren was slightly stunned. Then, he suddenly thought of something, "Wait, are you talking about …"
"Yes, that's it." Li Huailin nodded.
