Rise of the Dark Witch

Through a conversation with the Catolico wizard, Roja learned a lot about the Fire Source Realm and the secrets related to the fourth, fifth, and sixth level wizards.

It was really an eye-opener for him.

However, although these secrets are interesting, the purpose of his trip is not to know them.

His real purpose is—knowledge about the Magic Machine Trial!

"Wizard Catolico, I heard that you completed the eleven magic machine trials?" Roja asked.

"Yeah, eleven ways..."

Wizard Catolico's expression did not look very happy.

Roja could tell at a glance that the opponent must have failed in the twelfth magic machine trial.

"Is the twelfth magic machine trial that difficult?" Roja couldn't help but ask.

"Difficult? Of course it is difficult! Otherwise, do you think anyone can become a student of the seventh-level wizard, the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain?" Wizard Catolico sighed, "How much do you know about the Magic Machine Trial? Come to think of it. Listen."

"The Magic Machine Trial is a twelve-way test set by the Master of the Magic Machine Domain to select students. Only wizards who have completed the twelve Magic Machine Trials before the age of five hundred are eligible to become students of the Master of the Magic Machine Domain... …”

Roja told him everything he knew about the Magic Machine Trial.

After hearing this, Wizard Catolic nodded slightly and asked:

"Do you think you can pass the twelve magic machine trials within five hundred years of age?"

"Well..." Roja thought for a while before he said, "I'm probably three or four levels of confidence."

"Haha, you don't even know what the next three trials are, and you dare to say that you have three or four levels of confidence?"

"...I just said it casually."

"Then let me tell you what the next three magic machine trials are about."

Roja's ears suddenly stood up, and he listened attentively to the next words of Wizard Catolico.

With Roja's expectation, the magnetic voice of Wizard Catolico sounded in the room.

"Twelve magic machine trials, every three are divided into one stage, a total of four stages."

"The first stage is to assess the qualifications of the participants."

"The second stage is to learn and become stronger at Magic Machine Academy."

"The third stage is to demonstrate the learning results of Magic Machine Academy."

"The first three stages can only be regarded as ordinary wizard training processes. It is not until the fourth stage that the assessment set by the Master of the Magic Machine Domain for her students!"

"The last three assessments correspond to second-level wizards, third-level wizards, and fourth-level wizards respectively..."

Roja was drinking wine while listening to Wizard Catolico's speech.

Listen to the result.

He spurted it out!

The next three assessments correspond to level two wizards? A third-level wizard? Level 4 wizard?

Did he hear it correctly?

The time for the magic machine trial is only five hundred years!

Want to become a fourth-level wizard within five hundred years and pass the twelve magic machine trials?

Is this something that humans can do?

Those wizards who passed the Magic Machine Trial and successfully became the students of the Demon Machine Domain Master are what terrifying monsters they are!

Roja thinks he is already a genius, but compared with those monsters, he can only fall behind!

"Do you think it's incredible?"

"this is the truth."

"So, now that you know these contents, how confident are you that you can pass the Magic Machine Trial?"

Under the gaze of Wizard Catolico, Roja silently raised a finger.

"When others heard this, they were already in despair. You actually think there is still a 10% chance?"

"I know you didn't come to this conclusion out of arrogance..."

"Your trump card is much stronger than I thought!"

Wizard Catolico, who was already very interested in Roya, now had a dazzling light in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Roya inside and out.

After staring at Roja for a long time, he continued:

"If you pass the twelve magic machine trials before you are five hundred years old, you can directly become the student of the master of the magic machine domain."

"But as long as you complete the 11th Magic Machine Trial before the age of 500, then even if you are over 500 years old, you will still be eligible to participate in the 12th Magic Machine Trial before you turn 1,000 years old."

"Look at the performance of the twelfth magic machine trial."

"Perform well, and you still have the possibility of becoming a student of the Demonic Machine Domain Master."

"If your performance is worse, but you can still pass successfully, you can become a registered student, and you may have the opportunity to become a regular student in the future."

Roja sat quietly, listening silently to Wizard Catolico's talk about the trial of the magic machine.

Only now did he realize that his assessment of the difficulty of the Magic Machine Trial was too low.

The Demonic Machine Territory Lord’s requirements for students are much higher than he thought!

In his original plan, he would become a third-level wizard around three hundred years old, and a fourth-level wizard before he was one thousand years old.

This speed cannot be said to be slow.

But after talking with Wizard Catolico, he discovered that his original training plan was too slow!

He was originally interested in the nightmare world in the palm of the devil, but at this time, the flames in his heart suddenly burned brightly.

His desire for the Nightmare Lord has never been higher!

He must get the Nightmare Lord!

Not long after.

The conversation with the wizard of Catolico is coming to an end.

Wizard Catolic looked at Roya, who had his eyebrows furrowed and looked worried, and burst into laughter.

"I think you are quite confident that you will pass the twelve magic machine trials before you are a thousand years old. Isn't this good?"

"This certainty can already trample countless wizards underfoot."

"Compared to me, a mediocre person who has stopped at the eleventh magic machine trial in this life, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

"People, be content."

“Never put yourself in danger because of unrealistic delusions.”

Faced with the comfort from Wizard Catolico, Roja just nodded slightly and didn't seem to listen.

Wizard Catolico shook his head and did not continue to persuade.

before ending the conversation.

"As a senior who graduated from your Magic Machine Academy, I finally meet you and give you a gift."

I saw Wizard Catolic's fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Whoosh!

A black portable lantern appeared on the table.

"This is?"

Faced with Roja's doubts, Wizard Catolico did not immediately explain.

"You used the skills of the red-robed wizard to sign a contract with an abyss monster, right?"

"But I think that Abyss Monster has become an additional source of magic power for you now, and its own combat power has minimal impact on your strength."

"Using contracted monsters as a source of magic power is really not a wise move."

"Because the magic power of Warcraft is too low, and your contracted Warcraft is of the Death type, right? And you are of the Plant type, which prefers life."

"Converting low-precision death-type magic power into high-purity plant-type magic power not only consumes a lot of money, but also requires a lot of extra energy."

"It's really not worth the loss."

"If you feel that your magic power is not enough and you want an additional source of magic power, there is a better solution."

These words of Wizard Catolico completely expressed Roja's pain.

When Roja was still a wizard apprentice, the influence of the Bone Roar Beast was huge.

The Bone Shout Beast is the basis for his ability to cross-level battles with first-level wizards!

When he became a first-level wizard, the Bone Shout Beast still greatly improved his strength, but it was already much weaker.

After he became a second-level wizard, the Bone Roar Beast had become his additional source of magic power, just as Wizard Cattolic said.

Apart from providing him with magic power, other places can play little role.

But even as a source of magic power, the Bone Roar Beast can play less and less roles.

Because as Wizard Catolico said, the purity of the bone roar beast's magic power is too low, and converting death-based magic power into plant-based magic power consumes too much energy.

When fighting against people of the same level, sometimes it is better to drink the magic potion directly.

In addition, the speed of the Bone Shout Beast's strength improvement has not kept up with his pace. Over the years, he has been thinking about terminating the contract with the Bone Shout Beast and looking for a replacement for the Bone Shout Beast.

It is certain to terminate the contract with the Bone Shout Beast.

Substitutes are necessary.

Because Roya's fighting style requires too much magic power!

Just the simple move of growing trees in the forest.

Turn the body into a physical forest. As long as there is a leaf left, the true body will not die and will be regenerated continuously.

The advantages of this move in the forest world are obvious, but the disadvantages are even more obvious!

As the body grows larger, it can withstand more attacks, and it takes a lot of magic power to recover.

Especially in the face of those powerful enemies, they can destroy the forest world to pieces with just one move. Each time they are reshaped, it consumes a huge amount of Roja's magic power.

In addition to the forest world, there is also the witch formation.

When other wizards use witchcraft formations, they carry the formation map with them and store magic power in advance in the formation map.

Luo Ya set up a temporary witch formation.

The magic power consumed by the witch formation is measured in hundreds of millions!

Even if tens of billions of units of magic power are thrown into it, it will just stir up a wave.

How much magic power does Roja have?

Since his magical power does not have the magical support of the Bone Shout Beast, how can he support the use of the witch formation?

But the Bone Shout Beast really couldn't keep up with his pace.

A replacement must be found!

Continue to contract with other more powerful objects?

The contract with the Bone Shout Beast is easy to cancel. If the contract is stronger, it will be more difficult to cancel the contract later.

Since Roja still had a hundred or two hundred years before he could become a third-level wizard, and he was busy with too many things to do, he had no intention of looking for a replacement for the Bone Shout Beast.

So I can only make do with it.

After he becomes a third-level wizard, it will not be too late to search slowly.

Then Wizard Catolico directly helped him take out the replacement?

His eyes were fixed on the black portable lantern placed on the table.

"Is this..." he asked, swallowing.

"This is the magic weapon magic cage. According to its quality, it can also be called the magic black cage..."

After the introduction of Wizard Catolico, Roja finally understood what the magic weapon magic cage was about.

The Magic Cage is a witchcraft weapon that can be used as a source of additional magic power.

The quality is divided into four levels: white cage, yellow cage, red cage and black cage.

What Wizard Catolic took out was the highest level black cage! Able to store a thousand times its own magic power!

The magic power contained in the magic black cage of the witchcraft can be charged manually, or you can wait for it to recover on its own.

Since once the magic black cage is successfully refined, the stored magic power has the same origin as the wizard's own magic power, so it can be used directly, eliminating the need for conversion.

It is much more convenient than relying on contracted monsters or magic recovery potions to restore magic power.

Facing the magic black cage, a powerful witch weapon that can produce a thousand times more magic power out of thin air, there are not many wizards to choose from.

Because the magic black cage has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The magic black cage is not particularly strong. In battles with opponents of the same level, it is easy to explode after being hit.

This alone has deterred countless wizards.

Dark wizards who are good at hand-to-hand combat rarely use the magic black cage, a powerful but obviously flawed witchcraft, but among white wizards, the magic black cage is very popular.

The magical black cage may not be suitable for other dark wizards, but it definitely suits Roja.

Because Roja likes to make decisions before taking action in battle, and has many tricks that consume very much magic power.

Compared with obtaining a thousand times the magic power source, the small trouble of spending extra energy to protect the magic black cage during battle is nothing at all.

"The magical black cage is a witchcraft weapon given to you. As for whether you use it or not, it depends on your own plan."

"Thank you."

Roya ended his conversation with the Catolico wizard and left the room with the magic weapon Black Cage.

Walk in the exiting underpass.

Roja couldn't help but smile when he thought about the gains from this meeting with Wizard Catolico.

Not only did he learn many secrets of the wizarding world that he didn't know before, but he also obtained the magical black cage, an extremely powerful witchcraft.

I have to say that Wizard Catolico is a very easy-to-talk person.

If he hadn't delayed meeting the Catolico wizard until now, but earlier...

Could he be in the eyes of the wizard Cattolic in the past?

The reason why he was favored by Wizard Catolico was definitely not because of his charisma.

But because of the powerful strength and extraordinary talent he displayed!

If he hadn't gone through the trouble in the Endless Forest, defeated Andre, made the He Demon Wizard bow his head... and other events, how would the Catolico Wizard look at him?

Meet the Wizard of Catolico in advance?

Not to mention getting benefits.

Thank God if the secret in my heart can be captured and studied without being discovered!

What kind of strength do you have, what kind of things do you do, and what kind of people do you associate with.

You can never go wrong with keeping this in mind.

Roya, who finished his meeting with the Catolic wizard, did not want to stay in the Ash Volcano.

When he was about to leave.

Looking ahead, he saw a beautiful figure with waist-length blond hair, leaning against the road wall, standing there waiting for him for a long time.

Roja's steps suddenly slowed down.

Of course he knew this person.

Fernanda's senior sister, another student of Wizard Catolico, Quilin Crist!

Since both Fernanda and Wizard Catolico were focused on cultivation, the Ash Volcano was actually managed by Quilin.

Roya has heard a lot of rumors about Quilin.

It is rumored that she had many conflicts with Fernanda because of the dragon's blood baptism.

Later, he had a fierce battle with Fernanda and was defeated by Fernanda.

From then on, she held a grudge against Fernanda.

What does Quilin mean by waiting for him?

She should know that he is Fernanda's good friend, right?

Could it be that he knew that Fernanda asked him to help refine the Ice Soul Dragon Crystal and was planning to persuade him not to help Fernanda?

Or even let him use the refined Ice Soul Dragon Crystal to assassinate Fernanda?

"This woman..."

Roja walked over while vigilant.

When Roja was still a few meters away from Quilin, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly hit him.

Quilin, who was wearing a slit robe, came to him, her body almost touching his.

"Lord Roja, are you over with your conversation with the teacher?" Quilin looked at Roja with watery eyes, and his rosy face was almost dripping with water.

Quirin is as beautiful as Glory.

And because Quilin's appearance is more showy, his aggressiveness is far higher than that of Glory.

Being suddenly approached by such a beautiful woman, those with poor concentration may fall instantly.

But Roja is not the kind of person who values ​​beauty.

Regarding the fact that Quilin actually used beauty to seduce him, he just felt in his heart - "For a wizard of my level to use beauty to seduce him, don't you look down on me too much?"

He took two steps back to distance himself from Quilin.

"Wizard Quilin, what's the matter with you?" Roja asked lightly.

"Lord Roja, I would like to discuss a cooperation with you." Wizard Quilin said seductively, licking his fingers.

After thinking for a while, Roja nodded in agreement.

He wanted to see what tricks the other party wanted to play.

…

in the room.

A fiery red dragon lay on the ground.

Behind the fiery red dragon, a giant nearly twenty meters tall grabbed the dragon's horns with both hands and charged hard.

"Roar--"

The dragon roared vigorously.

Hot dragon flames spurted out uncontrollably from her mouth.

The already hot room became even hotter.

"call--"

Roja, who returned to his normal shape, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

Quilin knelt obediently in front of him.

"GuluGulu——"

Looking at Quilin who was busy, Roja couldn't help but recall what happened when he entered this room under Quilin's leadership.

He originally thought that Quilin came to him to ask him to help deal with Fernanda.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't.

Faced with Quilin's proposal for cooperation, he was quite excited after hearing it.

So he and Quilin discussed the details of cooperation.

After some haggling, all the cooperation-related matters were finally finalized.

When Roja was ready to complete the cooperation and leave.

Quilin suddenly looked at him seductively, licking his lips with his small tongue and asked in a very seductive voice - "Do you want to have fun with me?"

The first time he heard this sentence, Roja sneered instinctively.

Although Quilin is one of the rare beauties, as the emperor of the Saint Luo Empire, does Thaloy lack women?

He didn't want to get too involved with this kind of femme fatale who had just met for the first time and had a deep scheming mind.

When he was about to refuse to leave.

It suddenly occurred to him.

Quilin seems to be a dragon wizard?

Can you transform into a dragon?

He's not interested in humanoid beauties, but what about dragons?

Dragon Knight is every man’s dream!

We finally came to a world full of Western illusions. Wouldn’t it be in vain if we didn’t become a dragon knight?

In retrospect.

How do you feel about it...

The feeling of being a dragon knight is indeed unforgettable.

He almost wanted to fight Quilin non-stop for ten days and ten nights.

The problem is, isn't the giant dragon just a big lizard?

Fighting a big lizard for 300 rounds or something...

"Such embarrassing things must not be allowed to be known to a third person!"

After finishing the final touches on the aftermath of the battle, Quilin licked his lips and stood up.

"Lord Roja, what did we agree on?"

"Don't worry, I won't regret it."

Roja stretched out his hand and took out three bottles of potion with a faint moonlight from the space ring.

Second level potion Moon Spirit Essence!

This is a second-level potion that Roja refined with the help of the flesh and blood of the residents of the moon phase and the core of the moon beast during the third magic machine trial. It can help the wizard accelerate the condensation of the domain base.

The efficacy of the medicine is far superior to the second-level lunar soil medicine refined from the remains of the Moon God!

Kuilin, who is nearly two hundred years old, has successfully condensed the eight realms and reached the eight realms of the first pattern.

Even though there is only the last domain foundation left before reaching the ninth realm of the first pattern, the difficulty of condensing this last domain foundation is even greater than the previous three domain foundations of six, seven, and eight put together!

With Kuilin's talent and resources, although he will definitely be able to reach the ninth level of the first pattern in the end, it will take at least several decades.

If something unexpected happens along the way, it will take hundreds of years to say no.

She heard that Roja could refine lunar soil potion, so she approached Roja.

Originally, she just wanted to ask Luo Ya if he had any lunar soil potion in his hand and wanted to exchange it for a few bottles of lunar soil potion. She didn't expect that Luo Ya actually had the essence of the moon spirit in his hand, which was far more effective than the lunar soil potion!

With three bottles of moon spirit essence, she can successfully condense the ninth domain foundation in less than a year!

How many people can endure the temptation to save decades of hard work?

However, the price of Moon Spirit Essence is not cheap.

Fortunately, she has something in her body that can be exchanged for the essence of the moon spirit.

After collecting the essence of the moon spirit.

She opened her mouth to the sky.

That small cherry-like mouth actually split open like a python's mouth.

Something huge emerged from her abdomen, slowly rose along her abdomen, and finally passed through her throat and reached her mouth.

"Gu——"

Quilin squirted.

A drool-covered dragon egg spat out of her mouth.

Boom!

The dragon egg with fiery red lines on its shell hit the ground heavily.

Listening to this crisp sound, Roja couldn't help but worry whether the dragon egg would break.

"Gu——"

"Gu——"

Quilin spit out three dragon eggs one after another.

Roja's eyes kept swaying between the three dragon eggs and Quilin's mouth.

It felt a bit subtle to think that Quilin had just eaten his seed and spit out three dragon eggs from his mouth not long ago.

"These three are the eggs of the overlord-level monster, the Flame Scale Dragon, that we agreed upon."

"As long as it is properly cultivated, at least one Flame Scale Dragon can become an overlord-level monster."

"If you cultivate it well, you might be able to get three overlord-level monsters."

The three dragon eggs in front of me are the eggs of the extremely precious overlord-level monster, the Flame Scale Dragon. When adults are at least lord-level monsters, they are most likely to be overlord-level monsters.

An overlord-level monster, an extremely powerful dragon-type overlord-level monster, and countless wizarding forces are vying for it.

Warcraft cultivated from the dragon egg stage are extremely loyal.

The only flaw is——

It’s so time consuming!

It will take at least five hundred years for the Flame Scale Dragon to hatch from the dragon egg and become an overlord-level monster.

However, for wizards with long lifespans, especially wizards who often exist for tens of thousands of years, five hundred years is enough to wait.

Three bottles of moon spirit essence in exchange for three more overlord-level monsters five hundred years later?

This business is not a loss at all.

Roja looked at Quilin and thought in his mind - "If she can take out three second-level dragon eggs without changing her expression, I'm afraid she has quite a lot of power behind her!"

Then, Quilin told Roja some precautions for hatching and cultivating dragon eggs.

At this point, the cooperation between the two of them came to a perfect end.

"Lord Roja, do you still want to..." Quilin lowered his collar and smiled at Roja with his hot breath.

"..."

After finishing the exchange, Roja straightened his clothes and left the room.

"Lord Roja, come and play often when you have time -" Quilin waved enthusiastically to Roja's retreating back.

Roja, who wanted to refuse, hesitated for a while.

"If I have time... I will consider it."

Dragon Knight just needs to try it out.

If you do it too much, you might become a weirdo.

So next time…

Just let Quilin maintain the form of a coquettish beauty.

"I was just seduced by Quilin's beautiful appearance, definitely not because of her dragon bloodline..."

"Alas, it's so hard for a hero to be a beauty..."

"Even I am not exempt from vulgarity!"

Yes, he was just obsessed with beauty and made the same mistakes that every man would make. He definitely didn't want to do anything perverted with Quilin. (End of chapter)
