Rise of the Dark Witch

Next, it’s time to head to the Ashbone Empire.

The Ashbone Empire was not far from where he was. The distance of thousands of kilometers only took half an hour at his flying speed of twelve times the speed of sound.

But he didn't fly directly over.

As one of the five major empires in the Shenwa Witch Domain, the Ashbone Empire, the Holy Emperor of the Holy Luo Empire, went over without prior notice. It was a very impolite act. It could even be said that he looked down on the Ashbone Empire and was clearly provoking.

Even if he is beaten to death, he cannot complain.

You must send a letter in advance and obtain the approval of the King of the Ashbone Empire before you can go.

Roja took out a bottle of Origin Transformation Level 1 spellcasting potion from the space ring.

He pressed this bottle of first-level spell-casting potion on his left arm!

"call--"

His left arm suddenly expanded and transformed into a majestic eagle.

Using a part of the body to perform the Return to Source Apparition, this is an advanced application of the Return to Source Apparition, which he learned after studying witchcraft courses at Magic Machine Academy.

Although it is a high-end application, it has little impact on improving combat power because it can only transform weaker monsters.

Moreover, after he uses his arm to cast the Origin Transformation, the arm cannot grow back until the Origin Transformation is released.

Because his arm was not broken, but transformed into a monster, his arm was theoretically still alive.

If the arm is not injured, there is no need for self-healing. Without self-healing, the arm cannot grow back.

However, he can use his own strength to forcibly shape a brand new arm, which will not be much less flexible than the original arm.

After using the Origin Transformation to transform his left arm into a first-level eagle.

This first-level eagle looked at Roja for a second, then spread its wings and flew high into the sky, flying in the direction of the Ashbone Empire.

The first-level eagle flies while showing its identity and showing goodwill to the Empire of Gray Bones.

Within a few days, Roja received a reply from King Hulda of the Ashbone Empire.

"Do you allow me to be a guest in the Empire of Ashes?" Roja smiled and put the letter away, "Please take Jono with you on this trip to the Empire of Ashes."

As his grandson, Qiao Nuo had high hopes.

In terms of cultivation, he will give Qiao Nuo the best cultivation resources he can.

Socially, he will bring Qiao Nuo into the highest-level circles, allowing Qiao Nuo to meet all kinds of powerful people and get to know all kinds of powerful forces.

When he met with the third-level wizard Bellesi, he had already helped Jono get the opportunity to become a student of Wizard Bellesi. However, he would not officially become a student of Wizard Bellesi until the end of the Demon Condensation Day. OK.

This time, he was going to lead Jono to the Ashbone Empire so that Jono would become familiar with the people from the Ashbone Empire.

Because during his absence, Jono was the supreme leader of the Saint Luo Empire.

In the future, the Saint Luo Empire will have an in-depth and long-term cooperation with the Ashbone Empire and establish a relationship between Jono and the people of the Ashbone Empire as soon as possible. This choice is absolutely correct.

After receiving a reply from King Hulda of the Ashbone Empire, Roya took Jono to the capital of the Ashbone Empire the next day.

King Hulda of the Ashbone Empire prepared a huge welcome feast for Roya in the palace.

at night.

Countless stars shine in the clear sky.

Under the shining stars, a grand open-air banquet was being held in the royal capital of the Ashbone Empire.

Clusters of bonfires were burning brightly, making the entire night sky red.

The deafening sound of drums rang throughout the night, and just listening to the drums made people excited and made their blood flow faster.

The exotic dancer dances beautifully, making people blush just by looking at it.

The tempting aroma of food fills the air, making people swallow like crazy.

As one of the five great empires in the Shenwa Witch Domain, the Ashbone Empire gives people a tribal feel.

Ruggedness is everywhere.

In fact, the Ashbone Empire is indeed a tribe in essence, a huge tribe formed by the union of various small tribes of aliens.

Strangers are humans whose bodies have mutated after being exposed to magical radiation.

According to the direction of physical mutation, aliens are generally divided into four races.

Those with scales on their skin are called scaly people.

Those with hair all over their bodies are called Mao people.

Those who wear carapace are called A tribe.

Those who have no scales, no hair, and no carapace, but whose body shape is different from ordinary people, are called Bone Clan.

The four major races, the scale race, the hair race, the armor race, and the bone race, constitute the alien race.

Hulda, the king of the Gray Bones Empire, is a Bone Clan.

King Hulda has a huge body of five meters tall that is different from ordinary people, and has muscles that are harder than steel. You can feel the heaviness like a mountain rushing towards your face.

Compared with King Hulda, who was strong and strong, Roya, who had fair and delicate skin and looked like a pampered aristocratic young master, looked so delicate.

The aliens are a clan that believes in power.

Although they knew that Roja had a power that was no less powerful than their king, because Roja's appearance had nothing to do with power, many people looked at Roja with a little contempt deep in their eyes.

However, these slight slights did not affect their respect for Roja.

"Haha, brother Roya, drink!" King Hulda asked someone to bring two large bowls with a diameter of one meter and filled up the wine for Roya himself.

Boom!

The two raised a large bowl with a diameter of one meter, clinked glasses, and then drank the entire bowl of wine "gulu gulu".

King Hulda has a huge body of five meters tall and can drink a bowl of wine in one go.

How could Roja's small body be able to finish the drink?

That was a full bowl of wine in a large bowl with a diameter of one meter!

People who originally looked down upon Roya because of his appearance and body shape, saw that Roya drank a bowl of wine and continued to drink with King Hulda, the contempt in everyone's eyes disappeared.

"Haha, so refreshing!"

"Come on, keep serving wine! And bring me the meat to go with the wine!"

The heroic King Hulda has no restraint as a king at all. If you don't look at his appearance, he is no different from the common boss who likes to drink.

Roja really likes people with this kind of personality and the atmosphere of the Ashbone Empire.

Roja looked around calmly while eating and drinking with King Hulda.

They were in a huge open-air banquet hall.

Generally speaking, when a banquet is held, the king and the most important guests must be located somewhere at the end of the hall, and the other distinguished guests sit on both sides of the king.

But that's not the case with the Ashbone Empire.

In the middle of the open-air hall, there is a pyramid-like projection. King Roya and Hulda are sitting on the platform at the top of the pyramid.

As for other ministers and guests participating in the banquet, they sat around the pyramid according to their status.

The drinking party lasted late into the night, after everyone had been drinking for hours.

The charming atmosphere gradually enveloped the entire venue.

The drunk men and women started hugging each other and rolling around on the ground, on the table, on the grass...

Roya is no stranger to party culture.

Nobles often gathered together for parties.

Many men and women who have drunk too much will use the power of alcohol to spend a night together after seeing each other.

At the party, the husband and other women, the wife and other men, are not a problem.

The day after the party ends, everyone will return to their usual noble and polite appearance.

This was a very common form of entertainment among nobles.

It's just that when nobles hold parties, they will at least be secretive. They will find a room, a corner, a garden... in short, find a more remote place.

Wherever it is like here, it is done directly and above board.

Roja was fine, his expression didn't change.

Jono is different. Although he is almost sixty years old and has multiple wives, he has been educated as a knight since he was a child. When has he ever seen such a scene?

His face was red, and he didn't know where to look. He could only focus on the wine and meat in front of him.

The cocktail party has reached the second half.

King Hulda waved his hand, and several enchanting women immediately fell into his arms.

While King Hulda was working, he asked Roya: "Brother Roya, how many do you want?"

Roja put down the wine bowl in his hand, "As a guest, if I have more than you, Brother Hulda, who is the king, it won't look good, so I will have five less than you."

After King Hulda heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and help Brother Roya find five beauties!"

Not long after, five exotic beauties came to Roja's side.

These five beauties have been carefully selected. Not only are they beautiful in appearance, but their body shapes are also similar to ordinary people.

But compared to Roja, Jono is not so good.

King Hulda is still very discerning and did not arrange a beautiful woman for Jono, not wanting to embarrass Jono.

But the people in the Ashbone Empire are extremely open-minded, and Jono, as the person brought by Roja, has attracted much attention.

So many beautiful women went up to show their favor to Qiao Nuo.

However, they were all rejected by Qiao Nuo with a blushing face.

It’s okay to refuse one or two. After more people refused, the eyes of the surrounding Ashbone Empire citizens towards Jono slowly changed.

It’s okay to reject a woman’s advances.

Everyone can understand that I'm not in the mood today and don't want to have anything to do with any woman.

But Qiao Nuo's face was red and he was stammering. In the eyes of everyone, this was a sign of cowardice!

They looked at Jono like a coward!

The people of the Ashbone Empire believe in power, but definitely not everyone with power is worthy of their respect.

Those sissy strong men, those conspirators who can only play tricks in secret, no matter how strong they are, they will never gain their respect.

They like rough people and brave people.

Even if the strength is slightly weaker, as long as the character meets their "strong" standards, they will still respect it.

However, Qiao Nuo's performance so far is far from the image of a strong person in their minds.

He has no power, identity, and status, but he can't even refuse a woman's advances with a straight face without changing his face. He hesitates and blushes. How can he be considered a strong person?

Although Roya disagrees with the standard of the strong men of the Ashbone Empire, if this continues and Jono is looked down upon by the people of the Ashbone Empire, Roya specially brought Jono here this time, and all his efforts will be wasted. .

At this stage, Glory is considered the number one person under Roja in the Holy Roman Empire.

During Roya's absence, Gloria managed the Holy Roman Empire on his behalf.

But now that Jono's strength has caught up, it's time to transfer the rights to Jono.

Regarding this matter, Roya believed that Glory was very happy.

Because Glory is the kind of wizard who pursues the path of a wizard wholeheartedly and is not interested in power at all.

Luo Ya spent a lot of effort to get Glory to willingly help him manage the Saint Luo Empire.

If Glory knew that she could take a back seat in the future and leave all the troublesome matters of managing the empire to Jono, she would definitely jump with joy, right?

Next, Jono will make friends with the Ashbone Empire as a representative of the Saint Luo Empire.

The question is, if Jono himself is looked down upon by the people of the Ashbone Empire, how can he be on good terms with the people of the Ashbone Empire?

Roja looked at Qiao Nuo and frowned slightly.

He never thought that Jono would have problems with such a small thing.

But this fits Jono's character very well.

He took it for granted that he brought Qiao Nuo casually.

After all, he only stayed with Jono for a few years, and he didn't see him for forty years after Jono turned twenty.

After all, his understanding of Qiao Nuo was a bit lacking.

"Gulu..."

He held a large bowl with a diameter of one meter high in both hands and slowly drank the wine in the bowl.

He gestured to King Hulda while sipping his drink.

King Hulda was a man of coarse and fine qualities.

It can be seen from the fact that he did not arrange a beautiful woman to serve Qiao Nuo that he is not a big boss.

So he quickly noticed Roja's gaze and realized what Roja meant.

King Hulda nodded slightly to Roja, indicating that he understood what to do next.

Snapped!

King Hulda dropped the wine bowl in his hand!

Stand up suddenly!

King Hulda's sudden move attracted the attention of everyone around him.

Everyone, whether they were drinking and eating meat, dancing and singing, or playing with beautiful women, stopped their movements and looked straight at their respected King.

King Hulda suddenly became the focus of the reception!

King Hulda pretended to be a little drunk, put his arm around Roya's shoulders and said drunkenly:

"Brother Luo Ya, your Saint Luo Empire is the country of dark wizards, right?"

"I heard that you wizards with heritage have a very different fighting style from us. Can you show us your skills?"

"We all want to see it."

"That's what everyone thinks, right?"

King Hulda shouted to those present.

People immediately responded with chants.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! How do dark wizards fight?"

"You finally came to our place as a guest and gave us a show?"

"Show it! Show it!"

The crowd raised their arms and cheered.

If this scene happened elsewhere, it would definitely be extremely impolite.

But in the Ashbone Empire, it was very common.

Roya likes this seemingly equal and non-scheming atmosphere.

Not only Roja, but also Jono.

Under the cheers of the crowd and the persuasion of King Hulda, Roya nodded "reluctantly".

He looked at Qiao Nuo and said, "Qiao Nuo, how about you show everyone your strength?"

Qiao Nuo glanced at the woman next to him who was eyeing him like a hungry tiger. He didn't want to continue sitting here and being harassed, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Hey, how can one perform so well?" King Hulda clapped his hands, "Who wants to compete with little Prince Jono?"

Jono was almost sixty years old, but King Hulda called him little prince.

But no one thought this title was inappropriate.

One is because Qiao Nuo looks quite young.

Second, because King Hulda is hundreds of years old, isn't it normal to call a sixty-year-old heir to the throne "little prince"?

King Hulda just finished speaking.

"I come!"

A strong man over two meters tall, with hair all over his body and looking like a bear from a distance stood up.

One of the seven marshals of the Ashbone Empire—Marshal Gunda!

Seeing that the opportunity to fight Jono was snatched away by Marshal Gunda, many people who were a step too late sighed with regret.

"Oh, he robbed me."

"Damn it, you're still trying to brew up feelings!"

"Come on, don't embarrass our Ashbone Empire!"

In the cheers of the people.

People made way for the two people who were about to fight to make way for a large circle with a diameter of one kilometer.

Jono and Marshal Gunda stood hundreds of meters apart in the circle.

After Roya and King Hulda looked alike, they each took action to create a protective barrier with a diameter of one thousand meters.

With the protective barrier created by two second-level powerhouses, Jono and Marshal Gunda can fight with all their strength without worrying about the aftermath hurting the onlookers.

Qiao Nuo and Marshal Gunda stared at each other with extremely serious expressions.

Everyone watching the battle looked at the two men who were about to start a fight, and began to discuss in low voices.

"Which one of them do you think can win?"

"Needless to say, of course it's Marshal Gunda!"

"Marshal Gangda has been famous for three hundred years, and no fewer than three first-level experts died in his hands. How can a young man with little combat experience be able to defeat them?"

"That's right. Although that Prince Jono is very talented, he is still too young and has too little combat experience."

"I don't think so. After all, Prince Qiao Nuo is the grandson of Holy Emperor Roya. I heard that his talent is still higher than Holy Emperor Roya. Under the same realm, his combat power is even better than Holy Emperor Roya."

"Really? Saint Emperor Luo Ya was able to escape from the siege of two first-level wizards at the apprentice level. At the first-level level, he killed Wizard Blue, a student of the third-level wizard in Fusheng Land head-on!"

"Whether it is true or not, let us wait and see."

While everyone was discussing who would win and who lost, someone had already opened the market.

"Come on, who will win?"

"I am crushing Marshal Gunda!"

"I think Prince Jono has a better chance of winning."

"Maybe there will be a tie?"

With the loud noise like an earthquake, everyone in the noisy crowd fell silent, so their energy was focused on the battle.

Qiao Nuo and Marshal Gunda started fighting! (End of chapter)
