Rise of the Dark Witch

The Temple of the Abyss disappeared.

A piece of green swayed in the wind, falling in front of Fernanda and Xifer, changing into the appearance of Roja.

Fernanda looked at Roja with a lot of emotion in her heart.

After a long time, he finally said: "Congratulations, but I will catch up with you."

"Yeah." Roja nodded noncommittally.

"Where are you going next?" Fernanda asked.

"I have been away from home for nearly twenty years. It is time for me to go back and take care of the housework and..." Roja squinted his eyes and remembered the incident when he was beaten when he was a wizard apprentice. " Now that you have strength, it’s time to repay revenge and kindness, what about you? What are your plans next?"

"Of course we are going back to the Earth Flame Witch Academy in Ash Volcano." Fernanda patted Roja on the shoulder and invited: "After you finish your business, you can come to Earth Flame Witch Academy and see the people in Ash Volcano. Guardian, my teacher, the third-level wizard Catolico."

"...I will consider it." Roja, who didn't know Fernanda's intentions, did not refuse rashly.

In fact, Roja originally wanted to refuse directly.

Other first-level wizards would definitely be very excited about the opportunity to meet a third-level wizard, but Roja was different. He hated getting along with beings far more powerful than himself.

Maybe the other party will spy on your secret accidentally.

You might accidentally anger the opponent and be killed instantly with one move.

Fernanda sensed the true thoughts behind Roya's words.

"Do you know why?" Fernanda asked.

"I don't know." Roja shook his head honestly.

"Because he comes from the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, and as a guardian, he is qualified to issue tasks and give rewards. In the entire Shenwa Witch Domain, except for one palace and three cities, only the Catolico wizard has this qualification."

"What?"

Roja's body was shocked.

The training of wizards in Ten Thousand Demons Cave, except for wizard trials and residences, basically allows wizards to grow wildly without any teacher guidance.

If you want to get guidance from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, you must either participate in the Magic Machine Trial, or become a student of a certain witchcraft instructor as soon as possible.

But neither is easy.

The difficulty of the Demonic Machine Trial is not something that ordinary people can pass. Even for Roja, who has the assistance of the Dual Soul Certificate, the Demonic Machine Trial is quite difficult.

As for students who become witchcraft tutors?

This is a good choice.

Every witchcraft instructor is a fourth-level wizard, and it is the dream of countless people to become a student of a fourth-level wizard.

But the difficulty is equally huge.

After learning Level 2 witchcraft, students can participate in the assessment to become a witchcraft instructor.

Luo Ya doesn't know the difficulty of the assessment yet, but if you want to participate in the assessment, you must have the second level!

How many second-level wizards are there in the Six Kingdoms?

There was one back then, but he was dead.

How many second-level wizards are there in the entire Shenwa Witch Domain?

As far as Roja knew, there should be no more than thirty people.

In other words, if you are unable to participate in the magic machine trial, you will be in a state of barbaric growth without anyone's guidance until you enter the second level and take the assessment to become a student of a certain witchcraft instructor.

Is it possible to become a level two wizard without the guidance of a teacher?

This is not the case.

In every larger gathering place of dark wizards, there are guards in the Cave of All Demons.

Wizards can go to the place where the guardian is to receive tasks, receive rewards, and receive guidance.

In addition to one palace and three cities, the places where the Shenwa Witch Realm has guardians also have ash volcanoes.

Deep in the Ash Volcano, the place where the defenders are located is called Earth Flame Witch Academy.

Earth Flame Witch Academy is a place where wizard apprentices grow, become stronger, and learn. It is also a place where formal wizards receive tasks and listen to the teachings of the guardians.

and--

"You should have noticed that the rewards for completing tasks in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons are very small." Fernanda said.

Roja felt the same way about this matter.

When he went to the Xingyun Ancient Mine, he finally obtained three Star God Souls.

You must know that the Soul of the Star God is a rare treasure born from stars and can help wizard apprentices upgrade their fourth-level bloodlines to fifth-level bloodlines.

However, this kind of treasure can only be exchanged for one top-quality magic crystal in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?

I can't believe it!

At that time, Luo Ya was completely confused!

In Roja's opinion, there is no problem even if he exchanges for a thousand top-quality magic crystals.

The Ten Thousand Demons Cave is really a trap.

After seeing the change in Roja's expression, Fernanda continued: "For the same task and the same difficulty, the rewards obtained in the Earth Flame Witch Academy are at least ten times that in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave! Sometimes even a hundred times!"

I have to say that Fernanda's words hit Roja's excitement point hard, and his heart was moved!

It’s impossible not to be moved!

The same task has the same difficulty, but the rewards can be dozens or hundreds of times greater. Any fool knows which one to choose, right?

Roja, who was already deeply moved, asked the question he was most concerned about before making a decision, "Are the points earned universal? Can the points earned at Earth Flame Witch Academy be used in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?" "

Fernanda shook her head slightly.

This fact made Roja's excited heart calm down.

"What does it matter if it's not universal? You can still use magic stones to buy various items, learn various witchcrafts, and get the knowledge you want in Earth Flame Witch Academy. What you get in Earth Flame Witch Academy is definitely not the same. It will be less than the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, because the Earth Flame Witch Academy itself is a convenient place for wizards from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave," Fernanda said.

It's a pity that Fernanda's words can no longer impress Roja.

"Can I take the assessment at Diyan Witch Academy and become a student of the fourth-level wizard's witchcraft instructor?" Roja asked.

"You can learn witchcraft, but as a student who takes the assessment to become a witchcraft instructor... you can become stronger at the Earth Flame Witch Academy? Wouldn't it be much easier to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to do tasks after you become stronger?" Fernanda was puzzled. Looking at Luo Ya, does Luo Ya not understand such a simple truth?

etc!

Fernanda reacted suddenly.

Roja's current strength has reached the peak of the first level, and one step further is the second level.

Wait until you become a level two wizard before entering the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?

Fernanda suddenly remembered a doubt that had existed in his heart for a long time. It was a doubt he had a long time ago when Roja fought with Mhua Wizard in front of the Root of the Earth and obtained the title of Limit-Breaking Apprentice.

When we met again, this doubt became even greater.

That is--

Why is Roja so strong?

How could Luo Ya, who had no background, no teachers, no talents, and obtained all the resources on his own, become so strong? Become more powerful than him?

But if Roja is the son of the trial who participated in the magic machine trial, all doubts will be justified!

At this moment, the doubts that had troubled Fernanda for a long time were solved.

"So that's it." Fernanda patted Roja on the shoulder, "Come to Diyan Witch College and see me when you have time. I'll treat you to the best Dragon Flame wine in Diyan Witch College."

After saying goodbye to Roja, Fernanda turned and left.

Only Roja and Xifer were left.

"Will you go home with me?" Roya asked.

"Going home? Do you mean going back to Gray Mist City?" Xiphiel asked.

"Well, of course not." Roja said.

"Forget it." Syphiel sheathed the big sword, "I plan to return to Gray Mist City. After a while, I will set out with Leia and others from the Environmental Council to hunt for the gods."

"Leia?" Roja was stunned, "I didn't expect that she would actually fall in love with you."

"Hello? What do you mean you actually like it? Am I weak? Is my talent poor? When I reach the first level, you, Fernanda, and the Son of the Abyss, they are not me. Opponent!" Xiphiel said with clenched fists.

Originally, she was still struggling with Leia's invitation.

After being single for decades, she finally met the man Luo Ya. She didn't want to break up with Luo Ya so early.

Moreover, she doesn't like Leia and the others at all, and has no sense of belonging to the Council of the Environment. If she acts with Leia and the others, there will definitely be a lot of friction between her and those people, right?

Although Leia knows a lot about dragon people and can teach her the secrets of the dragon people and help her become stronger, she is still relatively self-centered in her actions, and nothing is as important as her own happiness.

Leia's suggestion went in one ear and out the other, not taking it seriously at all.

But after this trip to the Goao Empire, she was deeply shocked.

After learning Roja's location from Leia, she came here with the determination to save Roja. As a result, she was almost killed by the Abyss Warcraft Swordtail Wasp before she even saw the real enemy.

If she hadn't met Fernanda by chance, she would have become the food of the sword-tailed bees.

Later, on the way to rescue Roja, she suffered frequent setbacks.

Thinking about her, the three-star hunter who controls the wind and rain in Gray Mist City, this red dragon beauty with dragon blood who can fight with first-level wizards, she is like a vase, not only useless, but also needs to be protected by others. ?

She couldn't accept it at all!

After she saw the gap between her and Roja, and that there was no way for her to catch up with this gap on her own and would only get further and further away, she remembered what Leia had said to her.

Those words that she didn't care about at first, now struck a deep chord in her heart with every word.

Although she didn't want to be separated from Roya, she still decided - she wanted to join the Environmental Council! Get going with Leia!

"I'm sorry, I really can't accept the fact that I am a vase, and..." Syphiel grinned, "Leia said that I can manage all the money as the money steward of the Environmental Council."

Roya expressed his understanding and support for Xifer's choice.

Anyway, he has already studied Xiphiel's dragon body constitution, and even achieved the bloodline fusion, so Xiphiel is no longer of much use to him.

If Syphiel insists on staying with him, he will not know how to deal with this relationship.

It's good for Syphiel to follow Leia now.

Since Xifer will act together with Leia and the others from the Environmental Council, and Leia seems to be very optimistic about Xifer, then maybe——

"When you see Leia, help me and ask her if she has time to meet with me." Roja said.

After Roja absorbed the divine evil, he got a fragment of the ninth-level witchcraft Magic Cube. Unfortunately, he could not figure out the use of the fragments of the Magic Cube even with the help of the Two Souls Certificate.

Leia must know.

Roja wanted to ask Leia directly, but when he thought about his dispute with the Environmental Council in Gray Mist City, if he went to see Leia directly, he might start a fight with Leia and the others?

It would be better to let Syphiel test Leia's tone first.

"no problem."

After Xiphiel patted his chest and agreed to Roja's request, he embarked on the road back to Gray Mist City.

Looking at the back of Syphiel covered in blood, Roja didn't know what to say.

After knowing that he had been captured, he risked his life and traveled thousands of miles to the Goao Empire to rescue him. After finally rescuing him, he said two words and said goodbye.

"It's really..."

"It's really whatever you want."

Even Roja, who had long been accustomed to Xifer's carelessness, still couldn't accept Xifer's brain circuit.

…

Even Xifer left, leaving only Roja standing there.

Roja looked up towards the sky, looking at the abyss crack that was slowly closing.

The closure of the abyss crack is only a matter of time, but the real problem lies in the broken wizard spirit barrier.

The entire land of the Six Kingdoms is wrapped in a huge shaman spirit barrier, which isolates the rich magic power from the outside world.

It is precisely because of the opening of the Witch Spirit Barrier that the root of the earth has a much stronger magic power than other places in the Six Kingdoms, and it has become the largest and most prosperous adventure forest in the Six Kingdoms.

Now, due to Zoqi's Abyss Summoning Ceremony, the Witch Spirit Barrier over the Goao Empire is almost completely broken, and the hole is hundreds or thousands of times larger than the Witch Spirit Barrier at the Root of the Earth.

If there is such a huge hole in the Witch Spirit Barrier, huge magic power will definitely flow out of the six kingdoms from the crack.

With the Goao Empire as the center and a radius of thousands of kilometers, it will become a paradise for monsters. It will become a monster forest that is hundreds and thousands of times larger than the root of the earth.

The price of course is that people who originally lived in these places have to evacuate.

And because the hole in the witch spirit barrier is too big, the influx of magic power will also affect the entire Six Kingdoms, raising the overall magic concentration level in the Six Kingdoms by several levels.

Especially for the Snuman Grassland Empire, the Shinra Empire and the Shenglan Kingdom, which are adjacent to the Goao Empire, and the three countries that invaded the Goao Empire back then, the overall magic power will be multiplied several times.

In the coming days, there will definitely be a large number of people who cannot adapt to the sudden increase in magic power concentration, causing physical discomfort, or even sudden death, right?

No, it should have appeared now.

After all, it has been four months since Zuoqi held the Abyss Summoning Ceremony. Within four months, the harmful magic radiation produced by changes in magic concentration has accumulated in the human body to a certain amount.

Magic is a poison that has no cure for many people.

People who have awakened their bloodline are slightly more resistant to magical power, while others are...

But those who awaken their bloodline are usually great knights.

How many great knights can there be in the Six Kingdoms?

"Next, the land of the Six Nations may usher in an unprecedented and huge plague, right?"

"A huge plague that might kill hundreds of millions of people!"

"well--"

Roja let out a long sigh.

The Abyss Crack incident has been resolved, but there is not much left behind.

Roja couldn't just watch so many people die. After all, the Six Kingdoms was his hometown.

He couldn't save so many people, but at least the people in his hometown still had to be protected.

"It's been almost twenty years since I left home. It's time to go back."

In order to reach the first level, Luo Ya left home and went to Manhualin.

He originally planned to practice in seclusion for three to five years and then go home to take a look. Unexpectedly, due to various reasons, he disappeared for more than ten or twenty years.

"Maybe my family thought I was dead?"

Roja shook his head and smiled bitterly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where it was.

With Roja's peak first-level cultivation and supersonic speed, even if he moved much slower because he didn't want to attract too much attention, it still took him only a few hours to return to his hometown of Xillian Province. .

After years of development, Silian Province has become the Shenglan Kingdom... It should be said that it is the most prosperous province in the Six Kingdoms.

After all, we have been following the development strategy formulated by Luo Ya. This achievement is normal.

If it weren't for Roja's scruples, he wouldn't want to waste too much time on these chores.

If he had stayed in his hometown and continued to develop his territory over the past few decades, his hometown might have developed from the Middle Ages, when people ate black bread and rode horse-drawn carriages, to the modern era, when they had gunpowder, steam engines, cars, trains, and even airplanes.

Can be done, but not necessary.

However, the province of Silian, which had always been prosperous, was now shrouded in a huge haze.

The whole province is dull and depressing. The pedestrians on the road have haggard faces and dull eyes, and one after another skinny people are collapsed on the roadside.

"Is it already this serious?"

Roja walked towards Nange Town where his Nange family castle was located.

Nange Town?

No, it should be called Nange City!

Nange Town, which was once located in a remote and wild part of Xillian, has become one of the top three prosperous cities in the Shenglan Kingdom after decades of development.

However, this huge and prosperous city in the past is now crowded with patients with haggard faces and thin bodies.

They are patients who come to Nange City from all over the country for medical treatment. There are hundreds of thousands of them. They look like disaster victims, but in fact they are almost the same.

More than four months have passed since the cracks in the abyss opened and holes appeared in the wizarding spirit barrier.

And it's not just an increase in the concentration of ordinary magic power, there's also the abyss magic power pouring out from the cracks in the abyss!

The intensity of the magic power of the abyss is more than ten or twenty times that of ordinary magic power, and the intensity of magic radiation is also more than ten or twenty times that of ordinary magic power!

Due to the involvement of abyss magic, people's magic radiation symptoms have become more serious than Roja initially expected, and the affected area and number of people are several times greater than originally calculated.

Elsewhere people were waiting to die in despair, just as they had during previous plagues.

In this world, plague is not a rare thing.

But the province of Silian is different.

Here is the president of the Pharmacy Guild, Viscount Derry Nangle, and the Paladin and Pharmacist Roya Paladin who has created many medicines that have changed the world!

If it was the Viscount Nange family, if it was the greatest paladin of the Shenglan Kingdom, Paladin Roya, there would definitely be a way, right?

As a result, people affected by the magic radiation swarmed towards Nange City.

Although their bodies were exhausted and their faces were haggard, their eyes were filled with hope when they thought of the existence of Paladin Roya.

However, Roja never showed up.

Even members of the Nange family fell ill one after another, and the pharmacists and witch doctors of the Pharmacy Guild all fell ill under the influence of magic radiation.

Is there really no other way?

The Viscount of Delhi is useless, the Nange family is unreliable, the Pharmacy Union is just a decoration, the only thing they can rely on is——

"Roja Paladin——"

"Roja Paladin——"

"Roja Paladin——"

Hundreds of thousands of people chanted Roja's name as if they were chanting the name of a god. They hoped that the god-like Roja would appear to save them from suffering.

They believe in Paladin Luo Ya so much, because Paladin Luo Ya has shown too many miracles in front of them.

The Paladins of Roya, ordinary people born in merchant and civilian families, became Paladins and led their families to become the Viscount family in just a few decades.

It was Paladin Roya who invented many medicines that could buy a large bottle of medicine for reducing fever, stopping bleeding, removing parasites, solving the body's lack of trace vitamins... and countless other diseases for one copper coin.

It was the Paladin of Roya, who blasted out a reservoir on the flat ground with a raised hand, dug several kilometers of canals overnight, and flattened the mountains blocking the road with a roar.

It's Paladin Roya...

Paladin Roya has done too many things.

They had already regarded Paladin Roya as a god in the past, and many people hung murals of Roya in their houses.

Now that suffering is coming, tens of millions of people are about to die from unknown diseases. The desperate people regard the Paladin of Roya as the only god of relief.

After someone took the lead, everyone shouted Roya's name and kowtowed to Roja who didn't know where he was.

The crazy look of these people confused Roja.

He knew that he had done a lot of things, and he knew that many people regarded him as a god, but he was still a little shocked when faced with tens of millions of people worshiping him, calling him, and believing in him.

At the same time, he found that the black cube located deep in his spiritual space actually trembled slightly, as if in response to the people's faith in him.

"Could it be said that the use of ninth-level witchcraft fragments is related to the power of faith?"

After taking a deep breath, Roja stopped hiding his figure.

He jumped to the highest point in Nange City and stood above the head of a statue of Paladin Roya that people had built for him.

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately noticed by many people.

However, Roja is still too small, and not many people can see him. If you want to appease all the victims, you must——

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from Roya's body, and a huge 1,000-meter-high shadow that looked exactly like Roja and exuded divine brilliance appeared high in the sky.

Facing this sacred and strange phenomenon, everyone who saw this scene immediately understood that the long-awaited Paladin of Roya was back!

They are saved!

"Ugh, Paladin Roya! Paladin Roya——"

"We are saved! I told you that Paladin Roya would not give up on us——"

"Holy Paladin of Roya! Great Paladin of Roya! Merciful Paladin of Roya——"

In the face of people's cheers, Roja waved his hand, and countless light points flew out of his hand and penetrated into everyone's body.

These vital light spots are transformed from Roja's forest magic power. They can help people recover their physical strength and heal injuries. However, they cannot completely cure the magic radiation and can only suppress the disease temporarily.

But it was this move that made people who originally regarded Roja as a god, their belief in Roja became even more crazy.

They kept chanting the name "Royal Paladin", and the shouts resounded throughout the world.

The black cube in Roja's mental space trembled even more fiercely.
