"Heaven is a good reincarnation, who does the sky forgive... As the old saying goes, it's true. ”

Zhao Li, who was flipping through the memories of the swamp witches, sneered and looked up at the total lunar eclipse that was gradually beginning.

Now he's going to do it for the swamp witches, and all the preparations are ready, with a stove burning with pitch-black flames next to it, and a table full of all kinds of strange things, and even a lot of tiny human skulls...

"It's time. ”

Zhao Li nodded, and his hands began to get busy...

The swamp witches demanded the collection of new dead, living human babies, fresh sheep fetuses, the blood of boys and girls, and other evil and strange things in order to break the curse imposed by the life-extending magic ritual seventy years ago.

···

Time goes back to that dark moon night seventy years ago.

The eldest and second sisters of the three witch sisters slit the throat of the third sister and carried her body to the depths of the swamp, under a huge, leafy snake tree.

Snake Tree - This is one of the few plants that can survive in swamps, this tree has a thick, twisted trunk, and the leaves give off a peculiar smell that lures snakes to roost on it, hence the name Snake Tree.

At the same time, and most importantly, the snake tree has a long lifespan – it's easy to live for two or three thousand years.

The idea of the eldest sister and the second sister of the witch is very good, if the soul of the third sister is infused into this big snake tree, even if this tree can only live for two thousand years, the life span of two people is equally divided, and each of them has a full thousand years, which is enough.

It's just that when the eldest sister and the second sister of the witch really stuffed the soul of the third sister into the big snake tree, they were dumbfounded.

When they first learned this evil magic ritual, they weren't told that it would produce a curse of "being with them forever"...

This curse really pitted the witch's eldest sister and second sister miserably: the caster will stay with the soul whose body has been transferred forever, unable to leave each other, and once the connection is disconnected, the end will be... Die one after another!

To put it simply, the situation is like this: now the witch's eldest sister and second sister have indeed obtained the vitality of the snake tree, but... From this moment on, they could no longer stay away from this great snake tree, they could only stay near it forever!

The two swamp witches who changed from three sisters to two sisters really wanted to die at that time - if they weren't so greedy and wanted to get the long life of the snake tree, it would be nice to stuff the soul of the third sister into the body of a turtle or something.

Even if you fall under this curse that you can't stay away from each other, it's not too much of a problem - it's a big deal to be nicknamed "Turtle Witch", and she has always carried a turtle with her from now on.

It's a pity that there is no turning back from the bow, since the soul has been poured into the body of the snake tree, then everything is already a foregone conclusion - they can't, and they can't run around with such a big snake tree, they can only live by the snake tree.

If you can really live for more than a thousand years, even if you stay in this swamp like a prison, stay by this snake tree, but the two swamp witches immediately realized that it is difficult to achieve even this...

The snake tree, which was shared with its vitality, was aging and withering rapidly, but it didn't take long for the leaves of the snake tree to fall and the creatures on the tree to run away, and it didn't take long to live.

At this time, the two swamp witches who killed their youngest sister were simply in a state of mind.

When the snake tree dies, what happens to the soul in the tree?

The soul is deprived of physical nourishment, and the result is rapid dissipation.

There is a curse of "being with you forever", and you still have to be with the soul, so when the soul of the third sister dissipates, what will happen to the two eldest sisters and the second sister?

The answer is death.

As for taking out the soul from the tree in advance, or after the tree dies, put away my sister's soul as soon as possible, and find a body to put in or something...

I'm sorry, but the study of the soul, even the most knowledgeable wizards, is still at a rather superficial level, and the above behavior, the two swamp witches can't do it.

It wasn't until this time that the two swamp witches woke up a little, and this so-called life-extending ritual has not been circulated in the wizarding world, but has silently rotted in this swamp, not for no reason.

It's just this kind of pit ceremony, it's completely who uses it and who dies.

Again, there is no turning back from the bow, and in order to survive, the two swamp witches must also ensure that the big snake tree cannot die.

Fortunately, the second sister in the swamp witch is a dark wizard who studies potions, and the relationship between potions and plants is still very close - in fact, it is the second sister's proposal to put the soul of the third sister in the big snake tree.

In short, for the next seventy years, the two swamp witches did not have a happy day, and all their time and energy were spent on two things.

1. Extend the life of the big snake tree, whether it is to survive for a long time, or to live with only a little root, in short, it must not die completely, and you have to hang for a breath.

Second, find a way to solve this dead end, either to break the damn curse of "being together forever", or to find a way to move the soul of the third sister.

According to the results of Zhao Li's memories, these two swamp witches chose to move the subject of "the soul of the third sister", and under the pressure of death, the two of them studied it for seventy years as if they were in prison, and they really came up with a solution.

It is to make a container that can hold the soul and put the soul of the third sister into it.

It's not easy to create a vessel for souls, and the Swamp Witch collects baby skulls, sheep fetuses, the blood of boys and girls, and so many other messy and evil materials.

······

"So what kind of thing is this?

Zhao Li put the baby skull prepared by the swamp witch on the black flame and roasted it, while constantly sprinkling magic materials on it, only to see that the small white skull began to become a little translucent.

The life box is something that Zhao Li once learned about in some games before he crossed over, and it was used to hold the lich's own soul, it doesn't matter if he dies, as long as the life box is still there, he can be resurrected.

However, according to the memories of the two swamp witches, there are similar lichs in this world, but there is no life box, dead is dead, Zhao Li guessed that maybe it was because the magic level of this world was not developed enough?

"It's completely different from the game and the life box in it.,This thing is used to hold other people's souls.,It can't be resurrected... Anyway, if the effect is about the same as the two swamp witches expected, then it would be useful to me. ”

Zhao Li thought about it, changed a magic material again, and threw it into the black flames...
