Rise of the Dark Witch

Rainy night.

A light rain was falling.

The unclosed window in the study made a creaking sound under the humid evening breeze.

on the desktop.

The oil lamp burned quietly.

The candle flames swayed in the wind.

The room flickered in and out with the flickering candlelight.

"Shuashuashua——"

Luo Ya sat on the table and read hard. Papers filled with things were stacked one after another, forming a hill taller than a person.

After finishing the paper, Roja began to bind the paper, and one thick book after another took shape in his hands.

When he was in his hometown, he spent most of his time practicing, leaving one or two days every month to deal with the development of the territory. Occasionally, he would write some books in his free time.

He wrote a wide variety of books.

Some are related to the structure of the human body and introduce the functions of various organs.

There are instructions on how to plant, what plants to plant in which seasons, how to germinate and sow seeds, and how to cultivate.

There are training-related tips for practicing knight swordsmanship, quick methods for knight martial arts, and things to pay attention to when practicing.

Roya writes books whenever he has free time.

He regarded writing books as leisure and entertainment.

Watching the thick books taking shape and watching the bookshelves in the study room being filled up, he felt a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.

Sometimes Roja even feels that it is pretty good to live like this for the rest of his life. Why should he take all kinds of risks for the sake of strength?

He just wants to live freely, but unfortunately there are too many things in this world that hinder him.

If you want to live a free and happy life, your friends and relatives cannot be killed by robbers, your family members are sick but cannot be treated, you have to wait for death when a natural disaster strikes, you want to eat seafood but can't, you want to live in a high-rise but can't, and you want to live in a high-rise building but can't. I want beautiful women to accompany me, but I can only look at pictures of beautiful women and hide in bed. I haven’t lived long enough and my lifespan has arrived...

These unhappy things, right?

"Wanting to live freely and happily is such a simple wish, but it is really difficult to realize it."

Roya got up and came to the window.

Opening the window, the moist evening breeze blew in his face, making his face covered with mist.

It's ice cold and feels quite comfortable.

Roja stared at the city shrouded in rain through the window. The noisy city during the day was now so silent and unreal, as if it was another world.

Occasionally, pedestrians walking quickly on the road on a rainy night make the already silent and dreamy city even more silent and dreamy, like a picture scroll from an ancient era.

Luo Ya held his breath and did not want to disturb the tranquility.

Standing still, Roja raised his eyebrows slightly.

He felt someone was greeting him. He was standing on the edge of the Nangle family's territory, dozens of kilometers away from Nangle Castle.

That person didn't even dare to enter his territory without his permission.

Roja narrowed his eyes, and it was as if the distance of tens of kilometers did not exist. His eyes, which were more powerful than astronomical telescopes, immediately saw the person coming.

At the border of the Nange family's territory, there was a wizard wearing a gray robe, with smooth skin without any pores, no nose, ears, eyes and other facial features, only two black eye sockets without pupils.

If someone accidentally saw this strange appearance on a rainy night, they would definitely be frightened and think they had encountered a ghost, right?

Noticing Roja's gaze, the gray-robed wizard raised his head and looked at Roja with empty eyes.

Although he had only met once, Roja remembered this person—the gray-robed wizard he met in the tree spirit medicine cage!

Did this gray-robed wizard, who had only met him once, come to see him for anything?

Could it be that……

Roja touched his blue eyes reflexively.

Did that gray-robed wizard say that he wanted his eyes?

But things are different now.

If the other party had taken direct action back then, he might really have become blind. Now...

If the other party really just wants his eyes this time, what if he gives him a pair?

Roja is a person who likes to keep his promises. He doesn't want to lie to others or owe anyone favors when he can.

He did get some benefits from that gray wizard back then.

Eyes can grow a lot every minute if he wants to.

After thinking for a while, Luo Ya nodded slightly and signaled that the other party could come in.

After getting Roja's consent, the gray-robed wizard breathed a sigh of relief, and then he dared to step into Roja's territory.

…

In the study.

The kettle gurgled under the heat of the stove.

Roya poured a cup of black tea that he had brewed for the visiting gray-robed wizard. The aroma of tea filled the study room.

Roja held the steaming teacup, took a sip, and asked: "Friend, what should I call you?"

The gray-robed wizard put down his teacup and replied, "Bertha Roland."

Roja's hand holding the tea cup froze slightly, then returned to normal.

Luo Lan, also known as Emperor Luo Lan, unified the six kingdoms 10,000 years ago to establish the Holy Luo Lan Empire. After the death of Emperor Luo Lan, the Holy Luo Lan Empire was fragmented and disintegrated into individual countries.

There are currently two countries that consider themselves to be the orthodox Holy Lan Empire. One is the Holy Lan Kingdom, the country where Roja is located, and the other is the Holy Lan Empire's old enemy.

From the name of the gray robe wizard Bertha Luolan, it is not difficult to tell his origin.

"Wizard Bertha, I haven't seen you for forty years. You have made a lot of progress." Roja smiled.

Forty years ago, when Roya was still a second-class apprentice, he met Bursa for the first time in the tree spirit medicine cage. At that time, the wizard Bursa was much more powerful than him, and he was the pinnacle of a third-class apprentice. wizard.

Now, Wizard Bursa is already a first-level wizard.

"Haha, compared to you, Mr. Roja, what is my small achievement?" Wizard Bertha looked at Roja's empty eyes as if he saw the immature boy from forty years ago.

He had once been optimistic about that young man who had some talent, but he didn't think he could threaten him.

Then he was wrong!

Over the years, every piece of news about Roya shocked him.

The reason why he was even more in awe and had to add the word "sir" when calling Roja was because of the battle with the Son of the Abyss in the Goao Empire a year ago.

Although they did not participate in that battle, they were always paying attention.

They don't know what happened inside the Temple of the Abyss, and they don't know how Roja defeated Abyss, but they at least know the fact that Roja defeated the Son of Abyss!

Even the guardian of the Ash Volcano, Fernanda, a student of the third-level wizard Catolico, couldn't defeat him. The Son of the Abyss, who could only flee in panic, was actually defeated by Roya?

Even though they didn't quite listen to Fernanda's command, when Fernanda invited them to deal with the Son of the Abyss together, they refused without shame.

They very much recognized Fernanda's strength.

Fernanda is definitely a genius whose talent and strength are far above them. It is inevitable to become a second-level wizard. There is a high probability of entering the third-level realm in the future.

However, Roja turned out to be even more talented!

It’s unimaginable!

Even if Roja once fought against Wizard Mhua in the third-level apprenticeship realm and obtained the title of Breaking Limit Apprentice, and later successfully escaped under the siege of two formal wizards, Prima Wizard and Ermi Wizard, even if he had achieved various achievements in the apprenticeship realm Miracle Roja, none of them thought Roja would be Fernanda's opponent.

However, the fact is that Roya is stronger than Fernanda!

At least Roja is stronger now!

Roja has only become an official wizard for less than twenty years!

Looking at Roya, who was only in his sixties, Wizard Bertha felt that he had lived for so long and it was a waste of time.

He became a first-level wizard much earlier than Roja, but now he still needs fifty or sixty years to complete his second transformation. However, Roja reached the peak of first-level in less than twenty years. Start preparing to advance to the second level.

Comparing people to each other is really infuriating.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

It's not that he hasn't seen geniuses, it's not that he hasn't heard of geniuses' deeds. The reason why he has so many emotions for Luo Ya is because Luo Ya is a native of Shenglan Kingdom.

They watched every deed, every encounter, every step he took, and every decision he made about Roja.

More importantly--

Wizard Bursa stared at Roja's beautiful blue eyes. In a sense, Roja came from the same place as him and had the same ancestors. Furthermore, Roja's bloodline was much more pure than most members of the royal family. .

After drinking several cups of tea, Wizard Bursa spoke out the purpose of his visit, "Loya, after you became an official wizard, many things happened, so we haven't given you a proper congratulations. You have a party, are you interested in coming?"

reunion?

A gathering among first-level wizards?

Roja did not answer immediately, "Who are they?"

Wizard Bursa replied: "They are all our own people from the Azure Crystal Star."

Roja didn't think about it for long and nodded directly in agreement.

He really needed to meet those people.

Those official wizards who control the land of the Six Kingdoms!

…

In the wizard tower built by the third-level wizard Emperor Luo Lan.

Stars appeared on the ceiling.

In the Milky Way across the stars, stars shine one by one, looking like a real starry sky.

In a vast space, sitting around a huge round table with a diameter of a thousand meters, nine formal wizards exuding powerful pressure were sitting.

The nine heavy pressures are superimposed, and the knight will die suddenly, and the wizard apprentice will find it difficult to breathe.

These pressures are not released by the wizards on their own initiative, but are released naturally after they reach this state.

The reason why I don't have it when I usually communicate with others is because I deliberately suppress it.

Since everyone present is an official wizard, this is the wizard tower and there is no need to worry about affecting innocent lives. Naturally, there is no need to waste time and effort in suppressing one's own pressure.

After everyone introduces themselves.

Everyone looked at the people present quietly, especially Roja.

There were nine official wizards in this gathering, including Roja, and all the wizards present were from the two countries of Shenglan Kingdom and Shinra Empire.

When it was announced to the outside world, the Shenglan Kingdom had only two official wizards, excluding the Mandolin Wizard, and the Shinra Empire had only three first-level wizards, including a new official wizard who had been promoted in the past ten years.

So from the outside, there should be only five official wizards in the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire, but in fact there are eight in total!

The three extra people are all gray wizards wearing gray robes!

Even the two small countries in the Six Kingdoms have so many powerful people hidden secretly. What about other places?

There may be many, many more first-level, second-level, and third-level wizards in the Shenwa Witch Domain than appear on the surface.

If people who don’t know the truth of today’s meeting see it, they will definitely be very confused, right?

What is puzzling is not only why there are eight official wizards in the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire, but also why there are three gray-robed wizards, and more importantly -

The controllers of the two countries who were supposed to be old enemies actually gathered together in harmony, with no hostile intentions at all.

In fact, the top leaders of the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire were not hostile to each other in the first place. The so-called rivalry was just used by the top leaders to fool the lower class people, launch wars and do other things for fun.

The real top leaders of the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire, especially the official wizards, are definitely one family!

Eight pairs of eyes and sixteen gazes fell on Roja, looking at Roja, a supernova who had risen in recent decades.

After Roja looked at every wizard present, and other wizards present also looked at Roya carefully, they began to enter the formal topic of this meeting.

"Wizard Roya, have you ever known about the Day of Demons?" Wizard Rebrandan, the eldest and strongest person present and the strongest besides Roya, asked, stroking his beard.

"I know a little bit." Roja nodded.

"Oh? Tell me." Wizard Rebrandt said.

"The Demonic Continent we are in was transformed from the dead body of the Demonic God, which means that the soil, sand and stones under our feet were once part of the Demonic God's body, so some wizards are wondering if they can bring these Demonic God's bodies back to life. ? Can ordinary soil and sand be transformed back into the flesh and blood of a demon?..."

Roja slowly revealed his knowledge about the Demonic Sun.

It is not easy to bring the dead demon body back to life.

First, there is the issue of location.

Although the ordinary sand, gravel and soil in the Demon Spirit Continent are all made of dead demon gods, how stupid are you to think that you can just find a place to breed the flesh and blood of demon gods?

There are very few places where demon-condensing rituals can be held. The entire Shenwa Witch Territory is 60 billion square kilometers, and the number is no more than the number of hands. Unfortunately, the Land of Six Kingdoms is a suitable place for demon-condensing rituals.

After choosing the place and arranging the demon-condensing ceremony, there is a long wait.

Let the people living on this land naturally grow old, sick and die, and let their bodies and spirits return to this land and become the nourishment for the birth of the Demon God's blood embryo.

If you just need nutrients, there are many ways.

As long as an order is placed with the green-robed wizard, the magic stone is in place, and hundreds of billions of people can be produced on the assembly line in minutes.

But that won't work.

Because the created souls have no sense of belonging to this earth, they will not return to the earth after death, and they will not become the nourishment for the demon blood embryo.

The soul is a mysterious and mysterious thing. Even a seventh-level wizard cannot directly observe the existence of the soul, but the existence of the soul can be inferred through various natural phenomena caused by the interference of the soul.

Just like a black hole.

No one has ever seen a black hole with the naked eye.

No device has ever taken a picture of a black hole.

But people still believe that black holes exist, and all of this is reasonable speculation based on the changes caused by black holes.

Although even seventh-level wizards cannot directly observe the soul, it is possible to deduce the nature of the soul through inferences and indirectly use the power of the soul.

To make the demon blood embryo, you need the power of the soul that transcends the material world. As for the whereabouts of the soul power and how to make the soul power move according to your own ideas, people can only provide indirect guidance and cannot directly interfere.

In the end, the wizards came to the conclusion that letting people live, grow old, sick and die on the land where the demon-condensing ceremony was held was the best way to obtain the power of the soul and cultivate the demon blood embryo.

Finally, after a long period of cultivation, which may be thousands of years, or tens of thousands of years, the demon blood embryo finally takes shape.

After the demon blood embryo is formed, the witch-spirit barrier created based on the demon-condensing ritual will be completely shattered.

After the witch-spirit barrier is completely broken, people on the land of the Six Kingdoms will be completely exposed to a high-concentration magic radiation environment.

If no way is found in advance to improve the magic resistance of the people in the Six Kingdoms to adapt to the high magic radiation environment, 99% of the people will die by then.

Those who luckily gained the magic power to survive this difficult time must avoid the aftermath of the battle if they want to survive.

Demon God Blood Embryos are extremely rare treasures for third-level and fourth-level wizards.

Especially third-level wizards, it can help them greatly increase the probability of breaking through the fourth-level realm.

When the day of accumulating demons comes and the blood embryo of the demon god matures, there will definitely be a big fight between level three and level four wizards in the land of the Six Kingdoms.

A level 1 wizard can move at supersonic speeds.

In a battle between first-level wizards, even without the use of any magic release skills, pure close physical combat, just the aftermath of the supersonic movement of the body is enough to destroy a city.

For example, when Roja dealt with the Son of the Abyss incident, the aftermath of the battle was enough to kill all the weaker beings within a radius of hundreds of kilometers - for formal wizards, the Great Knight was also considered a weak being.

If there were no survivors in the Goao Empire before the war started, hundreds of thousands of people could have been killed in the aftermath of the war.

The first-level wizards are so powerful, but the second-level wizards are even more terrifying.

The second-level wizard raises his hand with the power of a nuclear bomb, which can easily create a deep pit with a diameter of several hundred meters in the ground.

There is no problem for a battle between two second-level wizards to destroy a province covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers - in fact, many countries are not as large as hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

As for the third-level wizard?

From a wizard apprentice to a first-level wizard, it is a qualitative change.

From the second-level wizard to the third-level wizard, it is another qualitative change.

With the strength of a level three wizard, if he releases his ultimate move, the attack can cover a province of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers!

If those third-level and fourth-level wizards were careful and tried not to damage the environment when fighting for the Demon God's blood embryo, it would be possible to control the destructive power within an area of ​​several million square kilometers.

But why?

Why do people need to control their strength?

Why do people want to protect the environment?

They are not wizards from the Six Kingdoms. Will destroying the Six Kingdoms have any impact on them?

Therefore, it is said that when the day of accumulating demons comes, it will be the day when the land of the Six Kingdoms will be destroyed. This conclusion is definitely not alarmist!

There are only a few decades left before the Day of Yunmo, and all the forces in the Six Kingdoms are preparing for the arrival of the Day of Yunma.

If you want to have the power to protect yourself on the day of accumulating demons, or even participate in the fight for the demon blood embryo, it is best to have the strength of the third level.

As a result, the only second-level wizard in the Six Kingdoms, Wizard Taruf from the Snowman Grassland Empire, held a third-level wizard promotion ceremony with the support of the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire.

The chosen location was the Goao Empire, which had no official wizards.

As a result, the Taruf wizard failed to advance and died, and the Goao Empire perished as a result. The Snuman Grassland Empire suffered heavy casualties under the deliberate targeting of Zoqi, the son of the abyss, and was almost destroyed.

As for the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shinra Empire, although their investment in Taruf Wizard failed, they did not count on Taruf Wizard in the first place. They had their own retreat, which was to return to their hometown thousands of years ago, the Blue Crystal Star.

The Kingdom of the Sea, the Haibang Empire, has already been in contact with the red wizards of the Giant Whale Sea, and is ready to be the vanguard for the red wizards of the Giant Whale Sea to occupy the land of the six countries. You must know that the Giant Whale Sea is a huge wizard no less than the Shenwa Witch Territory. power!

The Tallinn Empire, the last country of the forest... Because the confidentiality work was so good, Roja really didn't know how they planned to survive the day of evil, but they must have been fully prepared.
