Rise of the Dark Witch

Nange Town.

In a newly built wooden castle.

Roja stood by the study window and looked into the distance.

The wind howled outside the window, making the branches rustle.

The wind carrying fallen leaves blew against Roja's face, making his short black eyebrow-length hair, which had been carefully combed by the maid, become messy.

Roja's white hands pressed against the edge of the window, and his sapphire blue eyes stared at his family's territory.

As he watched, his mind couldn't help but drift back to three years ago.

He reached out and picked up a dead leaf clamped in his hair, staring at the dead leaf in his hand with a complicated expression.

"It's been three years before I know it."

Three years ago, he was just a quasi-knight who was worried about advancing to a formal knight.

Now he has cultivated the War Elephant Technique to the ninth level and opened one hundred and eight great secrets of the human body.

With the strength of 1,800 kilograms of his body, plus the 1,200 kilograms of strength added by life attachment, he has a full strength of 3,000 kilograms under normal conditions.

It is twice as high as the peak of an ordinary great knight!

Moreover, his heavy breaking slash and shadow-like thorn have been practiced to the grand master level.

Once the Heavy Breaking Slash is released, it can instantly explode seven times the terrifying power of the main body.

Using Shadow Thorn, the attack speed can instantly increase three times.

"Among the great knights, I am invincible!"

Roja closed his eyes, and in the pitch-black field of vision, nineteen ethereal meditation runes floated.

“It will take another two years to reach the minimum requirements to open up spiritual space.”

"But enough is enough."

"It's time to embark on the quest for a wizard."

Behind Roya.

The door opened with a creak, and a fat, middle-aged man with dark skin walked in.

During the past two years, Delhi has been busy building its territory.

He is much darker and thinner, but he is tired and happy.

After Derry entered the room, he looked at Roya who was standing by the window with his back to him.

The strong wind rushed in through the window, making the corners of Deloitte's clothes rustle.

It feels so far away.

Deli felt that as time passed, the gap between him and his son Roja became wider and wider. He became more and more unable to understand Roja, and he became more and more unable to understand Roja's inner thoughts.

At this moment, his son was standing in front of him, but he felt that he was far away.

It seemed that what he was looking at was not the back of his son, but the phantom of a certain god left in the world.

Afraid that if he opened his mouth to break the silence, the phantom would disappear like waking up from a dream, Deli stood nervously, not even daring to breathe hard.

After a long time.

Roja came back from the memories.

He looked back at his reserved father and said with a smile, "Don't stand? Sit down quickly."

After Roja took his seat, Deli quickly followed suit.

Roya pushed the three thick books placed on the table in front of Delhi, "These are the three books I have compiled in recent years."

"oh?"

Luo Ya specially called him to the study just to give him these three books.

These three books are certainly extremely important.

Deli didn't dare to neglect, and immediately looked at the covers of the books carefully. The names of these books were written on the covers, ""Records of Medical Sui"? "Book of Materia Medica"? "Ten Prescriptions"?"

Derry frowned. He had never heard of the names of these three books.

Roya explained:

"In Nange Town, a remote place rich in medicinal materials, if our Nange family wants to prosper, we can only follow the path of the pharmacy family."

"These three books were summarized and recorded by myself."

"The medical records record some treatment methods for difficult and complicated diseases."

"Herbal talk is an explanation of the cultivation, identification and efficacy of various medicinal materials."

"I have selected ten common medicines and optimized and improved them. The difficulty of refining has been greatly reduced while the effectiveness of the medicines remains the same or even better."

Luo Ya leaned back on the chair and crossed his fingers on his chest, "These three books are the foundation for the prosperity of our Nange family. Father, you must hide them."

These three books are definitely medical works comparable to "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". If released, they will definitely cause a huge sensation in the entire world and save countless people from illness.

For selfish reasons, Roja left these three books with the Nange family.

Derry apparently did not realize the importance of these three books at this time.

Sensing the hidden meaning behind Roja's words, he asked: "Son, are you leaving?"

"Well, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Well, I've known for a long time that you are not someone who will stay in Nange Town with peace of mind and be a baron for the rest of your life."

Deli looked a little sad, "Now that I'm gone, when will you come back?"

Roja looked up at the ceiling, his eyes blank, "I don't know either, but if I can come back alive..."

Roja smiled at Deli who didn't know why, "You will definitely be able to reach new heights!"

…

early morning.

The sky in the Far East is shining brightly.

In front of Nange Castle, the Roya family gathered together.

Father Derry, stepmother Siren, brother Rick and sister Lily, as well as Derry's three new mistresses, and their two illegitimate children who are still toddlers.

There is also Captain Lei Lun and his family who are both mentors and friends with Roya.

After saying goodbye to everyone who came to say goodbye, Roja jumped into the carriage.

drive!

The carriage started and drove Roja towards the distance.

Behind them, the people seeing off kept waving until the carriage disappeared from the horizon, and they reluctantly went back.

…

Ta-la-ta-la.

The carriage moved slowly on the gravel road strewn with gravel.

Roja held the reins in his hand, with the Holy Sword Lion's Heart at his waist and roared, heading towards the direction of Hain Port.

Hain Port is located in the Bols Province of the Holy Lan Kingdom. It is the largest inland port in the Holy Lan Kingdom and is also one of the top ten most prosperous metropolises in the Holy Lan Kingdom.

It is nearly a thousand kilometers away from Nange Town, Silian Province, where Roya is located.

Roja was in a hurry, but not too anxious.

He sat on the carriage and slowly headed towards Hain Port.

During the journey of thousands of kilometers, he saw many interesting people and things, and learned many local customs and habits.

On the way, I met a robber who jumped out to rob someone.

On the way, they encountered a powerful monster that devoured countless passers-by.

Sometimes there would be storms that lasted for several days, and I would huddle with other pedestrians in a dilapidated abandoned house, warming themselves by the fire and shivering, and listen to passers-by tell interesting stories about the past in the storm.

Occasionally, he would pass by dangerous places with strange rumors. Roja suppressed his desire to explore and continued walking around.

In this world where there are no highways, no cement roads, no navigation, and even maps have not been updated for decades or hundreds of years.

It took Luo Yaleng nearly two months to reach the thousand-kilometer distance, with an average daily mileage of less than twenty kilometers.

finally--

"Dong, dong, dong..."

Standing on a high slope and looking at the bustling metropolis in the distance, Roja's heart couldn't help but beat fiercely and rapidly.

Next to Roja, there stood an old man wearing a straw hat, and a red-haired girl with neat movements and a heroic look between her brows.

This is Todd from Winter City's Winter Cars and his niece Ulema.

A week ago, Roja happened to encounter them who were besieged by bandits. After taking action to deal with the bandits, he learned that their destination was Hain Port, so they went together.

"Lord Roja, we should be able to reach Hain Port before dark." The old man Todd said while stroking his beard and narrowing his eyes.

"When you arrive at Hain Port, do you want to visit our Chamber of Commerce?" Ulima stood next to Roja and touched Roja's arm vaguely.

"No, I have more important things." Roja refused without any hesitation.

After Roja left, Todd patted the disappointed Ulama and let out a long sigh.
