Rise of the Dark Witch
Chapter 218 Meeting the Holy Knight Again
Shenglan Kingdom.
Province of Silian.
In the residence of Count Naranja in Carter City.
at night.
In the banquet hall, almost the entire nobles of Silian Province gathered.
The nobles mingled with each other and chatted with friends whom they had not seen for a long time.
Handsome men in suits and beautiful women in gorgeous dresses danced to the music in pairs on the dance floor.
The nobles present were invisibly divided into small circles.
Among them, two small circles are the most eye-catching.
One is the circle headed by Count Naranja.
One is a small circle headed by the newly promoted Viscount Delhi Nangle.
Delhi was radiant, slightly chubby, and with a genial smile, he was chatting happily with the people who came to toast.
"Viscount Delhi, you have a good son!"
"Mrs. Siren, your son Rick can receive the Knight Medal, which is highly anticipated!"
"I just became a Viscount not long ago, and now my son has received the knighthood. The Nange family is really prosperous!"
People continued to praise the couple Deli and Xilin.
Both Derry and Siren accepted the compliments.
"Grandpa." A young and cute voice sounded next to Deli.
Derry, who was chatting happily with others, felt someone tugging at his trousers.
When he looked down, he saw that it was his second son Rick's son, his grandson Rick who was only twelve years old.
"Rick, why are you looking so sad? Is there something you want to eat that you are afraid to take?" Derry gently stroked his grandson Rick's little head and smiled.
"No, it's not." Rick shook his head. His eyes looked elsewhere and fell on the other four people who had received the knighthood.
Derry immediately understood why his grandson Rick was grimacing.
Silian Province holds a knight competition every five years, and the top knights in the knight competition have the opportunity to receive the Knight Medal.
The Order of Knighthood is a great honor for every knight.
This is because the Knight Medal is not theoretically issued by Count Naranga, but by Count Naranga after he reports the candidate to the king and is certified by the king with his seal.
Therefore, people who hold the knighthood are also called knights of the kingdom.
Being able to obtain the Knight Medal and become a member of the Kingdom's Knights is definitely an honor that every knight dreams of.
Warm wishes are given to every person who is awarded a knighthood.
Derry's second son, Rick, 30, is one of the five recipients of the Knight Medal this year.
Although they are also recipients of the Knight Medal, their treatment is obviously different from the other four.
Except for themselves and some low-status families, almost no one from the truly great nobles of Silian Province came up to congratulate them.
As for the reason——
Rick, who was only twelve years old, might not be able to figure it out, but how could Derry not know?
Because Rick did not receive the knighthood through the knight competition, but made great contributions to the province of Silian and was specially awarded the knighthood.
The two methods of obtaining knighthood medals are very different in value.
Generally, "making great contributions and being specially awarded the Knight Medal" is gilded for the children of big families, and ordinary big families don't have this qualification.
As the son of a new Viscount, Rick snatched away the knighthood that should belong to them, and those people would definitely feel unhappy.
Deli scratched his head, how should he explain it to his grandson?
In the eyes of adults such as Deli and Xilin, the benefits obtained are real. What do other people's opinions have to do with them?
Those people are unhappy if they are unhappy. Does that prevent them from becoming viscounts? Did it prevent their son Rick from receiving a knighthood?
However, he does not want his grandson Rick to be exposed to the darkness of adulthood prematurely.
If possible, he wanted to train Rick into a great knight that everyone respects, a knight who can win the knighthood medal in the knight competition by virtue of his own strength when he grows up.
When Deli was worried about what to say, looking at the lively girl walking towards them, Deli hurriedly greeted her.
"Hello, Princess Sissi." Derry said.
The person who came was a twelve or thirteen year old girl with bright blond hair and as cute as a doll.
Sissi, the daughter of the current Earl of Naranga.
"Hello, Uncle Derry." Sissi pulled up her skirt and saluted gracefully, then her eyes fell on Rick.
Under Sissy's gaze, Rick blushed and hid behind Derry, only daring to peek furtively.
"Are you Master Rick, the son of Knight Rick?" Sissi walked over and held Rick's hands regardless of Rick's resistance. "Can you dance? No? I'll teach you."
Under Sissi's warm invitation, Rick blushed and looked at Grandpa Derry frequently.
Derry patted Rick on the shoulder and laughed, "It's rare that Princess Sissi invites you to dance, how can you refuse? Let's have a good time."
Rick, whose head was steaming, was forcefully pulled away by Sissi.
Looking at Derry who continued drinking and talking with others, and looking at Rick dancing on the dance floor with the beautiful and lovely Count's daughter Sissi, many people showed jealous expressions.
"A few years ago, he was just a knight with a knighthood. However, thanks to the establishment of the Pharmacy Union in the kingdom, he became a viscount in our province of Silian. How dare he be so arrogant."
"He is no ordinary viscount. I heard that his eldest son Roya was a student of the late Holy Knight Sejie."
"Student? Hehe, I think it's not just a student, right? Even though the Holy Knight was already seventy or eighty years old back then, he was definitely the most beautiful woman in our province of Xillian in terms of beauty. Not many men could control it. .”
"Shh, do you want to die?"
Many nobles present were dissatisfied with the Delhi family, and their dissatisfaction with the Delhi family was overflowing uncontrollably.
But this is the residence of Count Naranja, so they can't say much.
When the banquet was at its most lively, Count Naranja suddenly walked to the front of the hall.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Count Naranja waved his hand, and everyone who was communicating fell silent, and even the band stopped playing.
"Since the unfortunate death of my aunt, Paladin Sejie, we no longer have a Paladin in our province of Silian, and we have been ridiculed by people in other provinces, but this history ends today!" Count Naranja said impassionedly.
"What?"
"New Paladin?"
"Who is it?"
Although everyone present knew that the so-called paladins were all wizards disguised as wizards.
But even if it is fake, the difference between having it and not having it is huge.
When introducing yourself to others, it is a very honorable thing to say, "I come from the same hometown as today's Paladins."
Paladin Sejie has passed away for so many years, and it is time for the province of Silian to welcome a new paladin.
According to past practice, the Paladin should come from the Earl of Naranja family.
With the expectation of everyone in the banquet hall.
A man wearing silver-white holy armor walked out slowly.
"he is?"
"never seen it."
"Not from Earl Naranja's family."
Many people present looked at the visitor and frowned in thought.
Although most people don't know this new paladin, there are still a very few people who know it.
"Son?" Derry's eyes widened in shock.
"Roya?" The wine glass in Xilin's hand fell to the ground silently.
"Brother?" Rick looked in a daze and couldn't believe this fact.
"Is that the legendary Uncle Roya?" Rick looked curiously.
Under the gaze of everyone who was shocked, confused, puzzled, etc.
Count Naranja pointed at Roya and introduced: "This is our new paladin of Silian Province, Roya Nange!"
"Roja is a student of the previous Holy Knight, Holy Knight Sejie. He left our province of Silian seventeen years ago to train around."
"After seventeen years of training and fighting, he finally entered the legendary realm of the Holy Knight!"
"Half a month ago, I killed a legendary monster, Dragon Snake, in Kuka City, saving the lives of people in Kuka City."
Count Naranja raised his hands, "Let us cheer for the Paladins of Roya in our province of Silian!"
With Count Naranja taking the lead, deafening cheers immediately resounded throughout the banquet hall.
"Roja Paladin——"
"Roja Paladin——"
People kept chanting Roja's name, and many people shouted until their throats became hoarse.
Among them, the most excited ones are Roja’s family and friends.
After cheering.
Luo Ya smiled and said: "Let me give you a meeting gift."
Roja stretched out his right hand, and a white light ball full of vitality condensed in his palm.
After the life light ball condensed to a certain extent, Roja waved his hand, and the light ball flew into the air and shattered suddenly.
The broken ball of light turned into streams of light and sank into everyone present.
Under the nourishment of vitality, everyone felt that all the fatigue in their bodies was swept away.
Those who were injured or sick felt that their injuries had improved a lot.
"Paladin Roya and I still have something to do, so I'll excuse you for now. You drink slowly." Count Naranja left with Roya.
As soon as the two left, the eyes of everyone present immediately fell on Roya's father Deli.
Not so long ago they thought Delhi was country bumpkin and looked down upon them with disdain.
After Roya debuted as a Paladin, their attitude towards Delhi suddenly changed.
"Lord Delhi, you have given birth to a wonderful son!"
"Viscount Delhi, there is a reception at my home tomorrow. Are you interested in coming over?"
"My sons have always admired Paladin Roya and dreamed of becoming Paladin Roya's students. Can you recommend me?"
Under the flattery of everyone, Derry smiled from ear to ear.
…
In the stairs leading to the ground.
Count Naranja led the way holding a torch high.
When he came to the end of the stairs, a ten-meter-high thick stone door appeared in front of Roya.
"Lord Roja, Aunt Sejie is inside." Count Nalanja said respectfully.
"Um."
After Roja nodded, he came to the door.
He pressed his hand on the door, but before applying any force, the door opened with a heavy creaking sound.
Inside the heavy stone door is a passage.
Roja walked into the passage and the stone door behind him closed automatically.
Roja kept walking along the passage, and the stone doors kept opening and closing.
When the last stone door opens.
The howling hot wind blows in my face!
Roja was startled by this sudden hot wind that could melt even steel.
After Luo Ya calmed down, he looked into the room.
There is a huge crystal in the room, and there is a beautiful figure deep in the crystal.
——Sejie Carter Naranga!
After twenty years, he met Sejie again.
When the two of them met for the first time, he was just an ordinary knight, and Sejie was still using the identity of a paladin.
Now we meet again.
Roja has become a third-class apprentice, a limit-breaking apprentice who can fight against formal wizards at the level of an apprentice.
And Sejie...
If Roja saw it right, Sejie is already an official wizard!
But why did Sejie, as an official wizard, seal herself in a crystal?
What's going on with the heat that keeps pouring out of Sejie's body?
"Roya Nange has met Master Sejie." Roja knelt down and said respectfully.
"I didn't expect that little great knight back then could achieve such an achievement." Sejie's mouth sealed in the crystal did not move, but her voice sounded deep in Roja's consciousness.
Roja's heart trembled.
As a limit-breaking apprentice, he has the strength to fight a first-level wizard, and he is not afraid of the pressure of Wizard Mhua.
But Sejie just stood in front of him and said a few words to him, but he was afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Sejie is definitely not an ordinary first-level wizard!
"Sign a blood contract with an alien creature, and you can use the Origin Transformation to transform into a first-level monster... I heard that you did a mission with Adams from the bipolar hunter clan during the wizard trial?" Sejie said.
Roja didn't know what Sejie meant, so he just lowered his head in silence.
"such a pity."
"With the talent you have shown, it is possible to become a second-level wizard in the future, but for the sake of temporary power, you signed a blood contract with a first-level monster from another world."
Sejie sighed with regret and then continued: "Roya, maybe because of the adventure you got in the wizard trial, your spiritual talent is very powerful, which makes you as good as a newly promoted first-level wizard in the apprenticeship realm. of powerful spiritual power.”
"But if you want to advance to a first-level wizard, mental power alone is far from enough."
"With your mental power, if the purity of the magic essence can reach 50%, the success rate of becoming a first-level wizard should be close to 90%."
"How long do you think it will take you to cultivate the purity of your magic power to 50%?"
Facing Sejie's question, Roja didn't think about it for long, "It will take forty years."
Roja's mental talent is very powerful, but his blood talent is quite rubbish.
The later the purity of the magic essence is, the more difficult it is to increase it. It is even more difficult to increase the purity of the magic essence from 40% to 50% than from 20% to 40%.
With Roja's low bloodline talent, coupled with the assistance of magical medicine and the help of the dual soul certificate, it would take him forty years to cultivate the purity of the magic essence to 50%.
Is forty years a long time?
Definitely not too long!
I don’t know how many people want to become an official wizard but can’t.
I don’t know how many people have a success rate of less than 10% when trying to reach the first level.
Roja only needs to practice for another forty years, and his mental power and magic power can reach the standard. The success rate of reaching the first level is close to 90%, which is enough to make countless wizards jealous to death!
Forty years later, Roja was only seventy-eight years old.
A seventy-eight-year-old first-level wizard cannot be said to be young and promising, but he cannot be said to be old either.
But will Roja be satisfied?
Is he really willing to wait forty years before reaching the realm of an official wizard?
the answer is--
impossible!
"Master Sejie, can you help me in any way?" Roja asked.
A stream of light flew out from Sejie's body, passed through the crystal that sealed Sejie, and came to Roja.
Roja looked at the thing suspended in front of him. It was a palm-sized disk, engraved with ancient runes and inlaid with twelve white gems.
"This is it?" Roja asked doubtfully.
"This is a twelve-star compass. The twelve gems on it represent the twelve constellations and are used to store the power of the stars." Sejie explained.
"The power of the stars?"
"Every time a constellation gem is lit, the magic power can be cultivated twice as fast."
"How can we collect the power of the stars?"
"Go to the Starfall Ancient Mine."
Luo Ya's hand shook, Xingyun Ancient Mine?
Could it be that the ancient Starfall Mine that Sejie mentioned was the Ancient Starfall Mine where the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain set up the second trial?
"Xingyun Ancient Mine is a high-level apprentice resource planet with seven levels in total."
"The first layer produces elementary meteorites, the second layer produces intermediate meteorites, the third layer produces high-grade meteorites, and the next four layers..."
"It's the broken star beast transformed from the fragments of the dead star spirit. Use a special method to seal the broken star spirit beast, and you can gain the power of the star spirit."
As he spoke, another stream of light flew out of Se Jie's body, and a leather-like thing floated in front of Roya, "This is the key to the ancient Xingyun Mine."
"Lord Sejie, the role of the twelve-star compass is not only to speed up the cultivation of magic power, right?" Roja asked, squinting his eyes.
"I need the power of the Star Spirit to perfect my Star Spirit bloodline." Se Jie said.
"Star spirit bloodline?" Roja was surprised.
Protoss is a life born from a star, and one constant faith can only give birth to one protoss.
As soon as a star spirit is born, it has strength comparable to that of a fourth-level wizard.
After the star spirit absorbs the energy of the entire star and becomes a complete body, its strength will be comparable to that of a sixth-level wizard.
Even among all the worlds, the Star Spirits are considered an extremely powerful clan!
The Star Spirit bloodline is the most advanced bloodline!
Is Sejie of Star Spirit bloodline?
No wonder it is constantly emitting heat like the sun.
But from the look of Se Jie, her star spirit bloodline should have been transformed through some secret method the day after tomorrow, so it has very big flaws, and she must use the power of the star spirit to perfect the bloodline.
There are not many places in the world where you can collect the power of the stars.
Even if you know the place, it is not easy to find someone who can collect the power of the stars.
Roja was originally going to the Starfall Ancient Mine, so regarding Sejie asking him to use the twelve-star compass to collect the power of the stars...
"Lord Sejie, I, Luo Ya, am willing to serve you." Luo Ya said.
"Okay, I will tell you in detail about the Xingyun Ancient Mine. If you have other questions you want to know, you can ask." Sejie said.
In the next half month, Roya stayed deep in Earl Naranja's mansion chatting with Sejie.
There was a lot to talk about.
Some are related to the ancient Xingyun Mine, some are related to the land of the Six Kingdoms, and some are related to the three major witch cities in the Shenwa Witch Domain.
As a mixed-race wizard with no background, Roja has no teachers and no family, so he knows very little about the wizarding world.
Under Sejie's guidance, Roja gained a lot of knowledge about the wizarding world and learned many secrets of the wizarding world that were unknown to the public.
Half a month later, Roja said goodbye to Sejie and left with the twelve-star compass.
