I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 31 The Shadow Clone Technique?

Inside the house, Rod had no time to pay attention to Avril's voice.

At that moment, his eyes widened as he stared intently at the shadow on the ground.

In the dim sunlight, Avril's shadow gradually peeled away from the ground, coalescing upwards like ink to form a blurry human figure.

The black shadow gradually materialized, perfectly replicating Avril's appearance.

Her short, golden hair, delicate and beautiful features, round and tender face, dusty clothes, fair and smooth skin, and even the tiny mole at the corner of her eye were all replicated.

In a moment, another Avril, exactly the same as her, stood alive in front of Rhodes.

It wasn't until Avril, the figure transformed from a shadow, opened her eyes that Rhodes noticed something different in her cunning gaze.

"Hey, hello there, Baron Rhodes."

The new Avril tugged at the hem of her dress, slightly curtsied, and gracefully bowed to Rhodes, "I am Vivian, the sister of Baron Avril."

"you!"

Rhodes then looked at Avril on the bed and exclaimed in shock, "Shadow Clone Technique?!"

"That's a nice name!"

Avril smiled and said, "Baron Rhodes, may I use this name?"

Are we currently struggling with the name?!

Rod stared at Avril and asked in a low voice, "What exactly are you?"

It's not anyone, it's not a person, it's something!
“Hey, Baron Rhodes, I’m a person, not something you’re talking about.”

Shadow braced herself with both hands, plopped down on the table, and crossed her legs. "We're witches, aren't we? Those charlatans call us women of misfortune. Ha, what a joke."

Who suffered misfortune? Whom did we bring upon ourselves?

On the contrary, those bastards killed me twice, humph!

Rhodes looked at Vivian on the table and felt that she and Avril were like two different people.

Even though the two look exactly alike.

Rod was a little skeptical of Vivian, so he turned to look at Avril on the bed, who nodded.

"Yes, I am a witch."

"Wait a moment,"

Rod felt his head was spinning.
"So you can divide it into multiple parts?"

Rhodes looked at Avril; a shadow still lingered beside her.

"How could that be? I only have one, unless I'm dead."

Before Avril could speak, Vivian interrupted her.

"Don't do this, Avril. Can't you speak with one body?"

With two identical people talking to him all the time, Rod felt like his head was about to explode.

Avril nodded and reached out her hand to Vivian on the table, who jumped off the table with a helpless expression.

"By the way, I'm not controlled by her. She's the older sister, and I'm the younger sister. We're not the same person!"

After Vivian finished speaking, she instantly transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into Avril's shadow.

"What did she mean? Are there two of you?"

"We share the same feelings and have the same thoughts, but our personalities are different."

Avril frowned slightly. "She said she wasn't me, but I feel like I am."

I don't know what happened either.

"The witch's abilities are truly bizarre. Is this considered magic?" Rhodes exclaimed.

Avril shook her head slightly. "I don't know if it counts as magic. After my mother died, no one was there to keep me company. Then Vivian slowly appeared."

I haven't told anyone about this ability; you're the second person to know it.

"Who was the first to know?"

"its me."

No problem.

Rhodes steadied himself, recalled his doubts, and asked, "If you can only create one, how did you escape?"

"There can only be one sister. After she dies, I can summon her again."

Ivy explained, "But after my sister dies each time, the time it takes to summon her again will be longer."

I remember the first time it lasted a week.

This is the second time; it took me two weeks to feel her presence.

Rhodes nodded and asked tentatively, "So she lured the enemy away, and then you escaped?"

Then the mob killed Vivian and dumped her body in the wilderness, which is how the rumor arose that Avril died without a complete corpse.

“Yes, you are very clever, Baron Rhodes.” “A truly amazing ability.”

However, after thinking about it carefully, Rhodes realized that it seemed to have no use other than being a stand-in.

To become an assassin?
Rhodes looked Avril up and down; her frail appearance seemed so far removed from the profession of an assassin.

However, appearances can be deceiving, so Rhodes tentatively asked, "Have you studied swordsmanship, Baron Avril?"

As Rhodes had predicted, Avril shook her head.

"Then what do you know?"

"I can grow flowers and herbs, and I can also spin yarn, make clothes, embroider blankets, ride horses, and paint."

"oh, I understand now."

As expected, Avril was a traditional noblewoman.

That's understandable, since Avril was exiled by her stepmother, unlike Rhodes who applied to come on her own.

In that case, Avril's abilities are indeed not very valuable.

"Wait a minute, you said you and your shadow are connected by mind?"

Suddenly remembering something, Rod asked urgently, "Can she be very far away from you? Like, eighty miles away?"

“I haven’t tried it, but there shouldn’t be any distance restrictions,” Avril replied.

"I'll give it a good try when I have time."

A slight smile appeared on Rod's lips.

If you can connect with someone from any distance, then Avril Lavigne would be a one-on-one radio station.

Although it has many limitations, it is a very useful skill in this era.

However, Rhodes didn't say anything more, but instead started chatting with Ivy to learn about the Red Griffin family and Razorfen Downs.

We'll likely encounter these things in the future, so the more information we have, the better.

Ivy also asked some simple questions about Rhodes.

In her opinion, a handsome and intelligent nobleman like Rhodes should not be sent here.

This wasn't exactly a secret, and Rhodes didn't hide it from her, telling her the whole story of how he, as a bastard, had taken the initiative to come to the Northern Wastes to become a lord.

Of course, the information about his own cheat codes was definitely removed.

"I really admire you, you have such courage!"

Ivy looked at him with admiration, "If I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't have come here by myself."

Rod smiled.

There was no choice before.

Now Rhodes thinks this place is not bad either.

Away from the center of attention, you can do whatever you want here.

dong dong dong-

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

Durant's voice rang out.

"Sir, may I come in? Our salt is inside."

Rod glanced at the chair in the distance, on which hung a bag of dry rations, with salt inside.

"It's alright, you can come in now."

Rod responded, got up, picked up the food bag, and handed it to Durant who walked in.

"Is the barbecue ready?" Rod asked.

Durant didn't answer. After glancing at Avril on the bed, he lowered his voice and said...

"My lord, there are some things that require your personal attention."

"it is good."

Rod turned and greeted Avril, then walked out of the room and stopped ten meters away from the cabin.

"what happens?"

Rod knew that Durant wouldn't call him out unless it was something important.

"You come with me."

Durant led Rhodes into the cabin and pointed to the white crystal ore on the ground, saying...

“I just asked a little girl named Susan for salt, and she gave me this. I asked her where she found it, and she told me it was under the cliff behind the mountain.”

“As everyone saw, you were talking to Miss Avril again, so I sent a guard to take a look and confirmed that it was a salt mine.”
