Rise of the Dark Witch

Roya said:

"Glory, you are my wife and the queen of the Holy Luo Empire. During my absence, I need you to manage the affairs of the Holy Luo Empire for me."

"And I will be very busy in the next few decades, so I will trouble you during this time."

Glory nodded obediently on the surface, as if she would do whatever Roja said.

Actually——

Glory was very unhappy inside.

She loved Loya very much, there was no doubt about that.

But compared to Roja, she cares more about the wizard's path.

The reason why she is willing to accompany Roja is that her love for Roja is only the second factor, and the exploration of the path of the wizard is the most critical.

I originally thought that by following Luo Ya, I would be able to enjoy a good life, and my cultivation level would improve faster than my own cultivation.

As a result, Roja asked her to run the country?

Let her do these things that were previously assigned to the puppet king?

Why formal wizards do not manage the country and use puppet kings is because it will affect cultivation.

Glory, a new wizard, has just completed her first transformation, and she is still thinking about undergoing a second or third transformation quickly, thinking about becoming a second-level or third-level wizard.

In the end, because of Luo Ya's order, he spent decades of training to help Luo Ya manage the country?

Glory definitely wouldn't dare to openly disobey Roya's order.

But she had already thought about how to fish after Roja left.

Glory thought she hid her inner thoughts very well, but how could she deceive Roya?

Luo Ya would make such a seemingly excessive request, so he naturally had a solution in mind.

He knocked on the table and said:

"Next, Wizard Rebrandan and the others will go to the Azure Crystal Star one after another. After I am gone, we will only have two first-level wizards, you and Wizard Mhua, in our Holy Luo Empire."

"Now that I am here, other forces dare not move."

"As soon as I leave, the forces around us will definitely not let our Holy Luo Lan Empire grow bigger. What's more, the Land of Fusheng will definitely use tricks behind the scenes, just like they did when they tore the Holy Luo Lan Empire into pieces."

"So, you must quickly increase your strength."

At first she was just pretending to listen carefully, but in fact she kept complaining in her heart, "Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I give up my future and help you after you fooled me for a few words?" When she heard the last sentence, her eyes suddenly opened. One light.

Roja has completed five life transformations in less than twenty years since he became a first-level wizard. There must be his chance behind it.

Could it be that Roja planned to use his opportunity for her to use?

Thinking of this, Gloria licked her lips excitedly, pretending to be weak and obedient, and winked seductively at Roja.

Roya took out a book.

"Isn't this the book of magic tools in Carlo's hand?" Glory asked doubtfully.

"After I improved and optimized this book, I renamed it the Book of Instruments. It contains one hundred and eight kinds of mind weapons composed of magic patterns with different functions." Roja introduced.

Gloria took the book of utensils from Roya's hand and gently rubbed the cover with her long and delicate fingers.

She remembered the battle between Roja and Carlo, and the various powerful weapons Carlo used.

Although Carlo was eventually crushed by Roja, we can't blame Carlo for being weak, it's just because Roja is too strong.

"As long as I have this book of instruments, can I fight with various weapons like Carlo?" Glory asked excitedly.

"Yes, but the difference is quite big." Roja replied.

"What's the difference?"

"Carlo's book records various magic pattern weapons. If you don't have a profound knowledge of magic patterns, you won't be able to use them freely. Moreover, those magic pattern weapons can obtain similar but completely different abilities by making certain modifications to the magic patterns. Thus adapting to various combat environments.”

"So, the original version in Carlo's hands is more powerful?" Glory asked.

Luo Ya shook his head slightly and continued to introduce:

"The weapons in the Book of Instruments are telepathy props based on magic patterns. These telepathy weapons have a relatively single function, but they can be used more casually."

"One is the magic pattern weapon. What is recorded in the book is only a template. It requires a deep knowledge of magic pattern. It can be optimized and modified at any time according to the template to adapt to different battles. It is more cumbersome to use and the upper limit is higher."

"One is telekinesis weapons. Although the functions of telekinesis weapons are fixed, their use is more arbitrary. You can easily use a variety of telekinesis weapons to coordinate during combat, which is more suitable for dealing with unexpected battle situations."

"In general, there is no superiority or inferiority between the two."

Roya's introduction made Glory very happy.

She hugged the book of instruments tightly, as if she was worried that Roja would go back.

"It hasn't been a few days since you got this book from Carlo, right? And you actually completed the optimization and modification based on my witchcraft characteristics?" Glory looked at Roja with admiration, because she knew that this required very deep magic patterns. It is only possible through academic attainment.

Luo Ya is only seventy years old. Not only has he become a first-level wizard who has completed five life transformations, but he also has such a strong understanding of magic patterns and potions. How did he do it?

Still human?

Being a genius in one area is enough to be envied, but Roja is actually an all-rounder!

Glory didn't even know how to praise Roya.

When Glory was in a state of extreme excitement because of the Book of Instruments, Roja took out a memory crystal and handed it to Glory.

"This is a summary of my experience at each stage of the first-level realm. It also contains many little cultivation tips that I came up with myself."

"With the help of these experiences and tips, the huge resources of the Saint Luo Empire, and the help of Wizard Mhua in refining some first-level witchcraft medicine, I believe you will be able to complete your third transformation in less than fifty years."

Roya's words made Glory, who was already in a high mood, suddenly feel her emotions surge to the extreme.

With the Book of Instruments, her combat effectiveness has greatly increased. She will no longer be at the bottom among first-level wizards, and she can safely survive the early stages of telekinesis wizards, where they are the weakest.

With the help of the power of the Book of Instruments, she believed that if she could go back to a year ago and fight the Demonic Death Wizard again, she would not lose so miserably, and maybe she would still have a chance to win.

She also received Roja's training guide on the first-level realm.

You must know that the entire Shenwa Witch Domain may not be able to produce even one first-level wizard who can complete five life transformations in a hundred years. The training experience and guidance of these wizards are very rare.

Moreover, Roja also allowed her to use the resources of the Holy Luo Empire at will, and also asked the Mhua wizard to help refine the first-level witch medicine.

Without Roja, how could Wizard Mhua help her refine the witch medicine?

Luo Ya probably wasn't lying to her when she said she could complete three life transformations in fifty years.

If on her own.

It will take at least thirty years to complete the second transformation, and at least two hundred years to complete the third transformation.

It should be said that relying on herself, there is a high probability that she will not be able to complete three life transformations in her life.

If she can really transform three times in fifty years, does that mean it is possible for her to transform four times with the help of Roja?

Her inner dissatisfaction with Roja disappeared instantly.

It is not unacceptable to take time out to help Roja manage the country.

After successfully appeasing Gloria's emotions, Roja started talking about business.

Roja stretched out two fingers and said: "In the next time, there are only two things that the Saint Luo Empire needs to do."

"Which two?" Glory suddenly cheered up and listened.

"The first thing is to prepare the Saint Luo Empire to attack the tree spirits in the Endless Wild Forest. The second thing is to spread my faith in the Saint Luo Empire." Roja said.

The Endless Wild Forest is a dense forest thousands of kilometers away from the Root of the Earth. It is the territory of the tree spirits and is guarded by the ancient roots of the second-level magic tree.

The tree spirits in the Endless Wild Forest often harassed the Six Kingdoms and always wanted to occupy the Six Kingdoms. When Roja was still a wizard apprentice, he was captured by the tree spirits and locked up in a medicine cage to use as a prop for refining potions.

Dryads are their enemies.

If the dryads could attack them, why couldn't they attack the dryads?

It's just that the thousands of kilometers between their Saint Luo Empire and the endless wild forest of the tree spirits is not covered by the shaman spirit barrier. The concentration of magic power is abnormally high. There are monsters everywhere along the way. Legendary monsters can be seen everywhere, and lord-level monsters are not. Rare.

It's okay for a powerful wizard to occasionally go to the Endless Forest to harass the tree spirits, but leading an army to attack the tree spirits is definitely looking for death.

But these days are different.

Facing the confused Gloria, Roja explained:

"We cannot prevent the arrival of the Demonic Day. Sooner or later, the land we live in will be reduced to ruins in a few decades."

"We have finally established the Holy Roman Empire. Do we want to watch this country be destroyed and hundreds of millions of people die?"

"We need to move people away, live in a different place, and come back after the Demon Yun Day is over."

"But we can't tell the ordinary people about the Demonic Day, because that will plunge the Holy Luo Empire into chaos."

"So we need to establish a powerful enemy, a powerful enemy that can gather the strength of the whole country to act. After thinking about it, the tree spirit is the best enemy."

"The tree spirits have always had a feud with us, and they have always wanted to occupy our six kingdoms."

"I was once captured by a tree spirit, and I have a personal vendetta against the tree spirit."

"Whether it's public or private, there are very good reasons to attack the tree spirits."

Glory agreed with Roya's words.

Attacking the tree spirits, occupying the endless wild forest, and temporarily moving people out of the six kingdoms is indeed a very good choice.

But the cost of attacking the tree spirits is too high!

They simply do not have the strength to lead an army across thousands of kilometers to fight the tree spirits!

"So we need to be fully prepared before the official war begins."

Snapped!

Roja threw dozens of heavy books on the table.

"The first point is universal education."

"Every city in our Holy Roman Empire must build at least one comprehensive university, every town must have at least one middle school, and every village must have one primary school."

"Strive to increase the literacy rate to 90% within ten years, increase the number of knights a hundred times, and increase the number of great knights ten times."

"The second point is to popularize basic medical care in large quantities."

"Every village must have at least one doctor, the average life expectancy will be increased to over 70 years old within ten years, and many infectious and parasitic diseases must be eradicated."

"The third point is to increase steel production."

"Steel is related to the army and people's livelihood. The army needs steel to forge weapons, and farmers need steel to forge agricultural tools. The production of steel is crucial to the improvement of a country."

"fourth point……"

Roya spoke and Glory listened.

Roya became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and Gloria became more and more dumbfounded as she listened.

After Roja briefly introduced the outline of the first ten-year plan of the Holy Roman Empire.

"Is there anything you don't understand and want to ask?" Roja asked.

"...Lord Roja, do you really think these targets can be achieved within ten years? I think they may not be achieved in another hundred years." Glory said cautiously.

In Glory's view, the so-called first ten-year plan proposed by Roya was simply wishful thinking.

Among the pile of demands put forward by Roja, if one of them can be completed within ten years, it will be considered very powerful, and he can be called the first-class wise king in the history of the Six Kingdoms.

However, Roja directly brought up a lot of them!

Glory's statement that it may not be achieved within a hundred years is already a very conservative statement. What she really thinks in her heart is - if it can be completed within a thousand years, it will be considered a success.

Glory's idea makes sense.

It should be said that this is what people in this world think.

It can't be done!

Unachievable!

It's just a fantasy!

If Roja hadn't known that someone had actually achieved it, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

Take a person who has experienced a hundred years of turmoil, is surrounded by bandits, is more than 90% illiterate, has an average life span of less than 30, and can’t even make matches...

It only took a few decades for such a backward country to stand on top of the world and become a country with high-rise buildings, the ability to build cars and tankers, and a space station and an aircraft carrier...

Such a powerful country.

It's a miracle, but also a reality.

If someone can do it, why can't he?

He has a ready-made homework sheet, which can avoid many detours, and he also has a group of powerful extraordinary helpers such as wizards and knights.

Having extraordinary power has both advantages and disadvantages for the development of civilization.

The downside is that power and resources are more likely to be concentrated in the hands of the powerful, leaving civilians as humble as grass.

The advantage is that as long as you use it well, you can easily complete various infrastructure problems with the help of extraordinary power, and you can easily grow a large amount of food and create a large number of magical herbs.

If there was no extraordinary power in this world, he would have been farming and robbing the world long ago after awakening the memory of his past life and obtaining the proof of his two souls.

But at the same time, because he does not have extraordinary power, there is a high probability that his lifespan will reach the end before he can push technology to the nuclear bomb.

With extraordinary power, although it was a little slower for him to get started and the difficulty increased a lot, he could live longer and witness his empire moving towards the stars and the sea.

"I just introduced you to the outline. I didn't explain to you the specific course of action. It's normal for you to not believe it."

Then, Roya told Glory the details about the first ten-year plan bit by bit.

The more Gloria listened, the more immersed she became, and the more she listened, the more she felt that what Roya said made sense.

Reason told her to believe Roja, what Roja said was true.

Life experience told her to stop daydreaming. How could it be possible to build the Holy Roman Empire into what it was in ten years?

When Roya spent three days saying everything that needed to be said, Gloria was in a daze.

"Do you understand? Do you know what to do next? Do you have any questions?" Roja asked.

"I understand." Glory nodded, but her expression was a little dazed.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I will assist you behind the scenes in the next year. If you encounter any difficulties, you can raise them in time." After saying that, Luo Ya was ready to end the exchange meeting.

"Wait!" Glory shouted to stop Roja who was about to leave.

"Didn't you say you understood everything?" Roja asked doubtfully.

"I do understand everything you just introduced, but..." Glory's bright eyes stared at Roja, "Developing the empire to prepare for the attack on the tree spirits is just the first goal, right? Isn't there a second goal? Two goals?”

"Oh, you mean to spread my faith in the empire and let people believe in me? Do you still need me to teach you such a simple thing? You can't expect me to teach you how to do everything big or small in detail. , Do you understand?" Roja said.

"Uh, no, that's not what I meant." Glory was a little flustered. "I just want to know, Lord Roja, why do you want to spread your faith in the empire? And is it as important as developing the empire?"

Of course, Roja would not tell the truth about this issue.

So far, the people of the empire have enough faith in him to charge his Six Magic Stones.

But now he has two Six Magic Stones.

And the second Six Magic Stone he got from Se Jie has been in his hands for several days, and there is no change at all.

Obviously, the first Six Magic Stones quickly changed under the influence of the power of faith.

The Six Magic Stones require the power of faith to activate. This fact has been certified by Leia, and Leia will not lie to him.

So the truth is that the power of faith is not strong enough?

Although the people of the previous Six Nations also believed in him, most of those beliefs were spontaneous.

After all, Luo Ya was not the Holy Emperor at that time, and he still needed to give some face to the apparent rulers of various countries, so as not to create a big personal worship of him.

There are not so many concerns now.

He needs to collect a lot of power of faith!

As for how to explain it to Glory?

Roya patted Glory on the shoulder and said, "Because I like the feeling of being worshiped by others, because I like to see others worship me like a god, and because I like to be in control of everything."

"But you have to remember, don't let others know that I specifically asked you to do this."

Roya left.

Glory was left alone in the room, thinking about what Roya had just said.

Glory didn't quite believe what Roya said, because Glory knew that Roya was not that kind of person.

She had some guesses about Roja's true purpose.

The power of faith?

It's just that the power of faith requires at least a fourth level to be involved. It is simply unheard of for a first-level wizard to collect and use the power of faith.

"Does it mean that Lord Roja has already begun to prepare for the fourth-level realm to hit the fifth-level realm?"

"Lord Roja is confident that he can reach the fourth level?"

"And you have found a way to use the power of faith to reach the fifth level?"

"It must be like this!"

Glory thought she knew the truth.

As a result, her inner respect for Roja grew even stronger.

"I must not let Lord Roja down!"

"As long as I stay with Lord Roja and gain Lord Roja's appreciation, even if I can't become a third-level wizard in the future, I will definitely have no problem stepping into the second-level realm."

Thinking of this, Glory couldn't sit still.

She stood up and walked quickly out of the room. She couldn't wait to complete the task assigned to her by Roya.
