Rise of the Dark Witch

What did Aita figure out?

Why did Aita's attitude toward him change so drastically?

Roja was a little curious, but didn't intend to go into details.

It's not harmful to him anyway.

Instead, he got a Kongqu witch ring in vain.

"We can talk about the reward after we get back?"

"You didn't even sign the contract?"

"As a wizard, it is really unwise to actively put yourself at a disadvantage in negotiations."

Not long after.

Roja came to the place where he and Nan En had agreed to meet. He and Nan En walked side by side towards the Elf Mission Hall.

The Elf Mission Hall is very quiet.

In the huge mission hall, apart from Luo Yananen, who had just entered, there was only one other orc.

It was a wolf with a tall body of 2.8 meters, bulging muscles that seemed to be filled with water, furry gray ears on his head, and a long furry gray tail wagging behind his buttocks.

After hearing the footsteps, the wolf man turned his head and looked towards them.

Roja recognized this wolf clan.

It was one of the four orcs who participated in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with them, Garu Ruludo of the wolf tribe.

"Are you also planning to do the elf bounty mission?" Garu asked, his eyes lighting up as he looked at them.

"Um."

"The same to you?"

Luo Ya and Nan En, who didn't know what the other party wanted to do, had a very cold attitude.

Compared with the two Royanann who had a cold attitude, Garu looked extremely excited.

He quickly approached Roja and the two, exuding a fiery aura.

"Hey, wizard, let's cooperate." He put his hands on the shoulders of Roja and Nan En respectively. "What you are planning to do should be the only third-level mission left, right? It just so happens that I am too!"

As a wizard who doesn't like physical contact with strangers, when someone suddenly pressed his hand on his shoulder, neither Roja nor Nan En looked good.

They wanted to get rid of each other and distance themselves from each other, but Garu, as an orc, was too powerful.

Now that their strength has been sealed by the power of law in the elven capital of Guangminglingling City, as ordinary people, their strength cannot match that of Garu, who is an orc.

There is no way, among the many intelligent races in the multiverse, the basic physical constitution of the human race is at the bottom.

Although I kind of hate the other party's familiar attitude, since the other party can't hurt them here, then forget it.

"Are you going to do a level three elf bounty mission with us?" Roja asked.

"Yeah!" Garu nodded heavily, "My grandfather did this mission a hundred and twenty years ago, but unfortunately he failed and didn't come back alive."

Garu clenched his fists, "I must complete this task and fulfill grandpa's regrets!"

As he said that, Garu's expression suddenly became decadent.

"But my strength is not much stronger than that of my grandfather back then. Since my grandfather failed, then if I go alone, I will probably fail too, right?"

"So over the years, I've been waiting in the mission hall whenever I could."

"I've been waiting for so long to meet you two."

"Please take me with you!"

"please!"

Facing Garu who bowed his head to them and begged them sincerely, neither Roja knew how to reply.

Most of the orcs are simple-minded guys. Their IQs are not very good, but their physical fitness and fighting ability are definitely first-class.

In the same realm, orcs generally have better frontal combat capabilities than wizards.

As a third-level strongman who can come to Guangming Spirit City, Garu is already the best among the third-level strongmen. After completing the baptism of the Holy Spirit, his strength is even more powerful.

It can definitely be used as a good combat force!

"What do you think?" Roja asked Nan En.

"I don't really like to cooperate with brainless races like orcs. Of course, if you want to, I don't care if you have one more companion." Nan En replied.

Now, the decision of whether to accept Garou falls on Roja.

Garu pressed Roja's shoulders with both hands, stared straight at Roja with a pair of big eyes, and pleaded loudly with a voice that could deafen Roja's ears: "I am very strong! I will never delay Your hind legs! Take me with you!"

Garu's loud voice made Deloitte's ears ring.

Roja was struggling while covering his sore ears.

Garu is very powerful.

The question is, can bringing a reckless orc with no brains, who is only specialized in melee combat and whose overall strength is definitely weaker than him, really increase the success rate of completing the mission?

The experience of working in the Endless Tower for so many years taught him that strength alone is not enough to complete the task.

But the Endless Tower is an Endless Tower, and the Elf Quest is an Elf Quest.

In order to complete the elf mission, he collected a lot of information related to the elf mission.

Elf missions are not as varied as the Endless Tower challenge. What the Elf missions need to do and how to complete them are generally fixed.

With Garu, a strong man from the wolf tribe, joining him, as long as he uses it properly, he can definitely increase the success rate of completing the mission.

At worst, Garu will be treated as an abandoned child.

"If you are willing to cooperate with our battle plan, we can take you with us." Roja said after thinking for a long time.

"No problem!" Garu assured, patting his chest: "Your wizards are smarter than us orcs. I understand this. According to your wizards' battle plan, the success rate will definitely be higher!"

Roja looked at Garu in surprise.

It is true that orcs have a bad mind, but there are very few orcs who are willing to admit that they have a bad mind. Most orcs feel that it's not that they are stupider than wizards, it's just that they don't like to play tricks.

After the three briefly introduced themselves, they walked towards the counter in the mission hall.

Stand at the counter.

Roja said to the elf sitting opposite the mission table: "We want to take on the third-level mission 'Death Eye Spirit World'."

"OK."

The elf nodded and began to register the three of them.

Soon, the registration was completed.

The elves told them the details and precautions of the mission, and released the elves' blessings to them.

"With the elf blessing, the elf spirit core will regard you as a partner and will not attack you."

"After successfully recovering the elf spirit core, we will use the elf blessing to locate you and summon you back."

After completing all the preparations for the mission before departure, the elf asked: "Do you have anything to ask before starting the mission?"

"Yes." Roja asked: "After I complete the mission, the reward I want is to enter the spiritual rebirth pool to practice. Is that okay?"

"No problem, we can allow you to practice in the spiritual rebirth pool for three years." The elf nodded.

"The content of the elf bounty mission is to recover the elf spirit cores that died in the outside world. After bringing the elf spirit cores back, you can use the spirit cores to regenerate the dead elves, but..."

Roja was a little confused, "Aren't the souls of your elves already sealed in the 'World Tree System'? Isn't it just a matter of minutes to be resurrected? Why do you need a spiritual core?"

"We elves will die if they are killed, and we will die when our lifespan is up. Although as long as the 'World Tree System' is still there and the souls stored in it are not damaged, we can be reborn infinitely, but you have to know that the soul does not mean It’s the same person,” the elf replied.

Do they have the same soul and are the same person?

If one person's memory and personality are erased, and then another person's memory and personality are injected, the person's body, mind, and soul will remain unchanged after the incident.

Is this person who has the memory and personality of another person the same person as the original person?

The elf's spiritual core stores all the experiences, memories and personality of the elf during its lifetime. If it is not recycled, resurrecting it directly with the soul stored in the "World Tree System" is equivalent to restoring the factory settings.

It was indeed successfully resurrected.

But in a sense, the elf that used to be is dead.

That's why we need to recycle the elf spirit core.

Not only is the mission Roja and the others are preparing to take on, which is to recover elf soul cores, but all bounty missions in Guangmingling City have only one content, and that is - to recover elf soul cores that died in the outside world!

The difficulty is divided into five levels: level three, level four, level five, level six and level seven.

Among them, the third-level and fourth-level tasks are interoperable. The third-level wizard can do the fourth-level tasks, and the fourth-level wizard can do the third-level tasks, but it cannot be done above the fourth level.

Although third-level wizards can do fourth-level tasks, generally no one is that stupid.

The difficulty of the elf mission is already extremely high, why do you still do it across levels? Isn't that seeking death?

However, there are often level 4 wizards taking on level 3 tasks, resulting in only the last level 3 task left in Guangmingling City.

"Why don't you elves recycle the spiritual cores of your companions?" Roja asked curiously.

"We will not leave Guangminglingling City."

"Don't leave? So what happened to those elves who died outside?"

"If someone wants to leave Guangminglingling City, we will not stop them."

"Is that so?"

The elf explained to Roja who was confused:

"Because we elves have eternal life, after living for too long, our emotions gradually disappear, and we become like artificial intelligence that only acts according to the settings."

"But this is just a protective mechanism and this situation cannot be maintained forever."

"Occasionally, among the elves in our Guangmingling City, there will be elves who recover their feelings."

"These elves who have recovered their feelings can choose to continue living in Guangming Spiritual City as before, or they can choose to leave Guangming Spiritual City and explore the outside world..."

If these elves who have recovered their feelings want to leave Guangmingling City and wander outside, there is no problem at all.

In other words, most of the elves who have recovered their feelings will choose to leave Guangming Spirit City. After all, they have stayed in Guangming Spirit City for who knows how many billions of years. Haven't they stayed enough?

It's just that the number of elves who recover their feelings is extremely rare, and there may not be one in a million years.

The elves who died outside were even rarer.

Therefore, there are very few elf bounties.

All tasks combined total less than a hundred.

Roja was a little surprised after listening to the elf's story.

Didn’t expect that the elves in Guangmingling City would one day recover their feelings?

And has the authority to freely enter and exit Guangmingling City?

After asking the last question, he looked at his companions and asked them if they had any questions.

After getting a "no" reply.

Roja said to the elf across the counter: "We don't have any problems anymore, we can start the mission."

Under the leadership of the elves, they came to a teleportation room.

door closed

The teleportation array started to activate.

"Buzz-"

Vast and surging high-level spiritual energy is flowing in the teleportation array.

Facing the elf mission that was about to officially start, the three of them were not as excited as they were at the beginning. They were just breathing nervously. Only the sound of breathing echoed in the teleportation room, which was extremely quiet.

You know, Elf quests are notoriously difficult.

The level 3 mission they are doing now is even more difficult. Nearly ten batches of people have taken on this mission before them, but not a single person has come back alive.

Even Roja, who considers himself the strongest person in the third level realm, is not 100% confident.

In silence.

The teleportation array is fully activated.

The white light emanating from all directions of the teleportation array drowned their figures. When the white light gradually dissipated, they had arrived in a strange world full of death.

"It is indeed a spiritual technology." Roja said with emotion.

When they teleported from Magic Machine Academy to Guangming Spirit City, they suffered a lot. Even the third-level wizards felt as sick as if they were motion sick.

The teleportation array created by elves using psychic technology is far faster than the teleportation array created by wizards, both in terms of startup speed and transmission speed.

After sighing at the power of psychic technology, the three began to look around.

What they came to was a world shrouded in a strong death aura.

Shrouded in these death auras that were as strong as substance, their skins made a sizzling sound under the erosion of the death aura.

They are level three strong men, so it's not a big problem.

If someone with a lower level of cultivation than them came here, such as a second-level wizard, they might die directly from the corrosion of the death energy.

Even Roja, who was at the second level back then, couldn't survive in this world for long.

"Is it the aura of death produced by the death of a seventh-level elf? It's really terrifying." Roja sighed as he looked at the lifeless buildings around him.

Judging from the surrounding buildings, this world was an extremely prosperous world back then. However, once the elf died, under the influence of the death energy emitted by the dead seventh-level elf, all life in the entire world was extinct.

"As long as it is alive, it will exude the aura of death after death."

"The more vigorous the existence, the more powerful the aura of death it emits after death."

"The elves are at the pinnacle of life, and they are at the seventh level. It is normal for the aura of death to emit after death can envelope the entire world."

"A strong man of this level is feared when alive, and equally terrifying when dead."

Roja was walking around in the ruins of the city, looking around for clues about the elf spirit core.

At this time, Garu beside him spoke.

"How can you find clues in the ruins of the city? You should go to a high place overlooking the surrounding area." Garu pointed to a towering mountain peak tens of thousands of kilometers away. "You must be able to see something from the top of that mountain. far away."

Before Luo Yanan and the two could reply, Garou accelerated and rushed out with a whoosh.

Garu's speed was so fast that Luo Yanan and the two couldn't react at all.

Looking at Garou sprinting out at thousands of times the speed of sound, Roja helplessly covered his forehead, "Didn't I agree to follow the arrangement?"

Nan En spread his hands and said: "The orcs are like this, their bodies are faster than their brains, so I don't want to cooperate with them, but they are indeed very strong."

Although the orcs have many flaws, their strength is unquestionable.

For example, the werewolf Garou just easily burst out at thousands of times the speed of sound, which was really terrifying.

You must know that Roja's basic movement speed is only 600 times the speed of sound.

After Nan En used the demon soul to merge, his full sprint speed was only 1,500 times the speed of sound.

Kogaru can easily run thousands of times the speed of sound!

The speed alone crushed both of them!

Not long after, Garu had already crossed a distance of thousands of miles.

Standing on the top of the mountain, he waved to Roja and shouted loudly: "I saw the elf spirit core!"

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Garu's voice reached the ears of Luo Yanann and Luo Yanan clearly.

Because of Garu, this silent world of death became noisy. The strong aura of death was constantly surging and rolling, and a pair of eyes woke up from their deep sleep and stared at them.

"Alas -" Roja sighed, "I don't want to cooperate with the orcs in the future."

They flew towards where Garou was.

Not long after, the two men and the beast stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance.

"That's the Elf Spirit Core, right?" Garu said proudly, puffing out his chest.

Both Roja and Nan En stared at the direction Garu pointed at with solemn expressions and said nothing.

About a million kilometers away from them, a huge eye pupil was suspended high in the sky.

Those dark eyes stared at the world, exuding endless death energy.

The death energy that enveloped the entire world was emanating from that pitch-black eye!

That eye pupil is undoubtedly the elf spirit core they are looking for!

"It seems to be looking towards us? Has it noticed our presence?" Roja said, holding his trembling body with his hands.

"Fortunately, we have the blessing of elves, and the other party will not hurt us. Otherwise, just by looking into those eyes, we would die immediately, right?" Nan En said fearfully.

"Now that we have found the elf spirit core, let's hurry up and recover it!" Just like last time, Garu rushed out without waiting for Luo Yanan and the others to reply.

But this time Roja was prepared.

The third-level witchcraft spiritual flower appeared silently, and its extremely tough roots wrapped around Garu tightly.

"What kind of plant is this? It can't stop growing?" Garu tried a little harder, but when he saw that he couldn't break free, he was about to get serious.

"If you continue to act without permission, then our cooperation will come to an end." Roja said solemnly.

"Uh, um..." Garou stopped for a moment, "I did say that I would cooperate with your battle plan, so what is your battle plan?"

Garu's obedient and well-behaved appearance really left Roja speechless.

Garu's brain is undoubtedly willing to obey their arrangements and cooperate with their battle plans. The problem is that Garu's body often acts one step ahead of his brain!

There was no point in discussing complicated battle plans with the orcs.

Because orcs act without thinking at all.

Therefore, the orcs have the best physical fitness among many intelligent races, but their overall strength is overtaken by humans who are inherently weak.

If orcs had the same intelligence as humans, they would definitely surpass humans and become one of the strongest races in the world.

Roja, who had long known what the orcs were about, had only one thing to do in order for Garu not to hold them back and become their fighting force.

"I have the time-based auxiliary witchcraft Jenga of Time. Jenga of Time can slow down the enemy's time and speed up the time of my partners."

"But the range of Jenga of Time is limited, about a hundred kilometers."

"So there is only one thing I need you to do, and that is..." Roja raised a finger, "Don't leave within a hundred kilometers of me, can you do that?"

"One hundred kilometers?" Garu nodded without thinking, "No problem!"

Looking at Garou who agreed directly without thinking at all, Roja sighed silently.

"Garu, I know the characteristics of you orcs, so I don't have so many demands on you. As long as you stay within a hundred kilometers of me, I can turn a blind eye to whatever you do, but As long as the distance between you and me exceeds 100 kilometers, our cooperation will be terminated immediately, do you understand?" Roja stared into Garou's eyes and said.

"...I will never leave your 100-kilometer range!" Garu, sensing Roja's determination, swore to Roja with his fists clenched.

"Very good." Roya smiled and patted Garu's body, "I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

As the captain of the team, Roja looked in the direction of the elf spirit core and looked at the ferocious beasts that were ready to move in the darkness.

"The method of collecting Elf Spirit Cores is quite simple. It's not as twists and turns as the Endless Tower Challenge. You just have to fight all the way to the location of the Elf Spirit Cores and collect the Elf Spirit Cores according to the methods taught by the Elf."

"So if you want to recycle the elf spirit core and complete the elf mission, the most important thing is combat power!"

"The powerful strength that can break through all obstacles and reach the elf's spiritual core!"

The reason why Roja was willing to let Garou join them was because he had a certain understanding of the elf mission.

The essence of the elf's mission is very "simple". You only need to use your power to remove all obstacles and recover the elf's spiritual core.

As an orc, Garu has nothing but pure strength.

Garou is already powerful, and with the assistance of Time Jenga, the combat power he can unleash might be able to surpass him?

He is very strong and deserves to be the number one player in level three.

But if he uses the Jenga of Time to assist other level three powerhouses, the strength of those level three powerhouses may exceed him.

With Orc Garu, Nan En, the most powerful sect of dark wizards, Demon Soul Style, and Roja himself, this mission to recover the elf soul core...

Luo Ya gently stroked the witchcraft weapon Kongqu witchcraft ring around his neck, stared at the black pupils hanging in the sky in the distance that were constantly exuding the aura of death, suppressed the fear in his heart and whispered to himself:

"There is no problem, we will definitely succeed." (End of Chapter)
