dark witches rise

Chapter 145 Are We A Family? (5K)

The Grand Knight of Talu was defeated, and as it should be.

Although the Grand Knight of Talu used the shining armor that only paladins can have, which made the battle a little suspenseful, he was defeated in the end.

The only thing that rejoices those present is that the Grand Knight Talu is not a real paladin.

Otherwise, many people present who have believed in paladins all their lives will be hit, and there may be people who can't bear the blow and commit suicide.

The battle was over, and the Talu Grand Knight had conceded defeat, but the interest of everyone present had not disappeared, and they all stared at Roja with wide-eyed eyes.

Roja is a wizard, what about the wizard's methods?

What about the weird and magical abilities of wizards?

This may be the only chance in a lifetime to see the wizard's ability with his own eyes, how could he let it go?
Many people mustered up the courage to persuade Roja.

"Lord Roja, please show off the power of a wizard and let everyone open their eyes, shall we?"

"We grew up listening to the legends of wizards since we were young. Unfortunately, we are all in our 50s and [-]s and have never seen the power of wizards. I beg you to grant our wish."

Facing the eager eyes of everyone, Roja could understand their inner desire.

Didn't he look like this when he was not a wizard?

Isn't he also eager to see the great power of the wizard?
In the depths of the Yakala Mountains, Roja had always regretted not being able to watch the shocking battle between the Paladin Sejie and the other three wizards.

Anyway, it's just to show the power of the wizard, and he has nothing to lose, so why not do it?

"Since everyone is looking forward to it so much, let me show it." Roja said, inserting the holy sword Lionheart Roar into the floor under his feet.

The whole hall suddenly became very quiet.

Everyone stared straight at Roja with wide-eyed eyes. Many people who stood outside and were blocked by the crowd in front even climbed onto the stone pillar regardless of their image.

ka ka ka-

The roaring and roaring blade of the Holy Sword Lion Heart shone with black thunder-like oscillating power, and the oscillating power was injected into the depths of the ground through the blade.

Everyone held their breath, looked at Roja nervously, and watched the holy sword Lionheart growl with black oscillation power.

"What kind of witchcraft will the wizard use?"

"What is the weird and mysterious power of a wizard like?"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Stop dawdling."

The ground suddenly shook violently.

The flat ground made of marble actually vibrated violently, making crackling and breaking sounds.

A series of black oscillating powers crawled out from the depths of the ground like crazily growing vines, climbing along the buildings on the ground.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped! ——

The table that was climbed by the force of the oscillation suddenly shattered into pieces.

The stone pillars in the hall were constantly shattered under the entanglement of the vibration force.

The vast hall, which can hold thousands of people at the same time, is full of black power at this time. Under the action of the vibration force, the ground shakes, and the house shatters and collapses.

Looking at the oscillating force protruding from the moving ground, shaking in mid-air like seaweed.

Looking at the furniture stone pillars that shattered under the force of the oscillation.

Watching the house that is about to collapse.

People's mood changed from anticipation to fear.

"If this goes on, we will die!"

"Get out of here! Run away!"

"The house is going to collapse!"

Although Roja avoided them with the power of oscillation, what about the collapsed house?

Most of the people present are ordinary people. Once the house collapses, they will all be crushed to death!

People fled in a hurry, and then touched the power of vibration.

"what--"

When the first one touched the power of oscillation and screamed, the others couldn't bear to cover their eyes, not daring to look at it.

Because they believe that anyone who touches the power of oscillation will be instantly shattered into pieces.

However, it does not.

Those people just collapsed to the ground with weak bodies under the force of the oscillation, as if their bodies were numb after squatting for a long time, and they were not injured at all.

After many people fell to the ground due to the power of the vibration, they knew that they could not avoid the power of the vibration and leave the hall, so they simply did not move.

Even if Roja was a wizard, he wouldn't be able to kill them all by performing the mighty power of the wizard, right?

boom!
The house finally collapsed completely.

Watching the heavy ceiling fall towards them, the knights activated their vitality and put on a defensive posture, while the other ordinary people closed their eyes in despair.

Suddenly, buckets of oscillating force surged out from the depths of the ground, hitting the falling ceiling straight.

Rumbling--

Under the action of the vibration force, the entire ceiling turned into powder and was blown away.

The cold wind whistled.

The bright moonlight shines down.

People stood in the ruined hall and stared at the night sky with dull eyes.

The vast hall with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters was actually destroyed by Roja, a first-class apprentice?

Especially when the hall was destroyed, none of the people present were injured.

Those who fell to the ground due to the force of the vibration, I don't know if it was an illusion, they felt as if their bodies were massaged by a masseur, and their bodies were extremely comfortable.

If it weren't for the need to take care of the guests, if Roja, a wizard, did his best to destroy, the scope and power of the destruction would definitely be even greater, right?

Is this the legendary wizard?

Is this the weakest first-class apprentice among wizards?

so horrible!

so amazing!

Too strong!

Even if there are paladins, their strength is no more than that, right?

Due to the destruction of the banquet hall, the banquet dispersed early.

But the people who left had satisfied smiles on their faces.

……

For many people, tonight's banquet is over, but for Roja, the next step is the real beginning.

Weiss pushed the wheelchair ahead and led Roja to a warm room.

The stove in the room was burning, the hot tea on the table was steaming, and the well-dressed servants stood respectfully beside him.

After entering the room, Roja's sight was suddenly attracted by something in the corner of the room.

It was covered with a black cloth and looked like a coffin.

"Lord Roja, do you know this thing?" Weiss walked over and gently lifted the black cloth covering it.

A shiny black piano appeared in front of Roja.

Roja walked over, caressing the smooth body of the piano in a daze.

"This is a musical instrument from the Haibang Empire. It's called a piano. It was a congratulatory gift from the Earl of Windsor on my grandfather's 80th birthday two years ago. It's a pity that no one here can play it." Weiss regretted.

"Piano?" Roja lowered his head, his mind full of thoughts.

In addition to the existence of extraordinary power, the Kingdom of Shenglan is similar to the previous life in the 45th century in many other respects. There are no instruments such as pianos and violins.

But Shenglan Kingdom doesn't have it, it doesn't mean other empires don't.

The Haibang Empire is the most open empire, with many novelties, and music has a very high status in the Haibang Empire. It is said that even the king treats great musicians with courtesy.

Roja knew that the Haibang Empire had a piano, but this was the first time he had seen the real thing.

"Master Roja, could it be that you can play the piano?" Weiss asked.

"Do not……"

Roja just wanted to shake his head and say no.

At this time, a distant memory emerged in his mind.

This memory is too far away, so far away that it was still in the previous life, when he was still a primary school student.

For those who were just elementary school students at that time, musical instruments such as piano and violin were synonymous with nobility and elegance. Whoever could play the piano or the violin would be the children of rich families, princesses and princes.

At that time, they also studied the text called Moonlight, which told how Beethoven created the famous piano piece Moonlight.

At that time, they also found the music score of Moonlight and took a look.

I was so excited before reading it, but when I got the sheet music, I hurriedly flipped through it and went to play other games at a loss.

Ghosts can understand!
This long-forgotten memory is now reappearing in Roja's mind, and he can even remember the Moonlight score so clearly that he only glanced at it briefly.

"Is this the benefit of having a stronger memory?"

Roja sat down in front of the piano, and randomly pressed the keys to determine the sound represented by each key.

Then he started playing.

It was very jerky at the beginning, but gradually became more and more smooth, just like someone who has practiced piano hard for several years.

The beautiful piano body sounded in the room, and everyone was lost in hearing it.

A piece of Moonlight is played.

Roja shook his head, "It's far from the Moonlight song I used to listen to on music software."

"Master Roja, you don't need to be humble. Even if you reach the Haibang Empire at your level, I believe you will be first-class." Weiss praised.

"Old man, I have lived to be more than 80 years old. This is the first time I heard such beautiful music. I didn't expect that Lord Roja, you are still a master of music." Governor Craigie said with emotion.

Governor Craigie and Miss Weiss praised his moonlight music so much, maybe it was from the heart, maybe it was just a compliment.

No matter what the reason is, Roja is still very clear about his piano level.

"Stop complimenting me." Roja closed the piano cover, came to the tea table and sat down.

He picked up the black tea and took a sip.

While drinking black tea in small sips, he chewed the pastry slowly.

At the level of Roja, the control of the body has reached the level of precision control.

Not only is the food absorption efficiency far superior to that of ordinary people, but the energy consumption of doing the same actions is only one-third to one-tenth of that of ordinary people.

The less energy is consumed, the less food is naturally eaten.

The reason why he often eats a lot, eating the amount of food for 100 people a day, is because fighting and practicing consume a lot of energy.

In the case of not fighting or practicing, even if you don't eat or drink for ten and a half months, there is no problem.

Roja eats more for taste.

So you will find that he eats very slowly, chewing every bite of food dozens or hundreds of times, and will not swallow until he can no longer taste any food.

Governor Craigie, who was sitting opposite Roja, looked at Roja who was drinking black tea and eating pastries elegantly, and was a little absent-minded.

Governor Craigie has never been optimistic about Roja.

Until four years ago, when Roja set off from Haine Port to the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest for wizard trials, Governor Craigie still did not change his mind.

In the depths of his heart, he already regarded Roja and Ron as dead people who were destined to fail in wizard trials.

"Another session doomed to failure."

"Why is my luck so bad?"

"Why are the testers I met when I was governor all trash?"

Although the pass rate of wizard trials is very low, the Craigie family sends people for wizard trials every year, ranging from three to five people to as many as a dozen. According to past historical experience, generally every two to thirty years There will be a return of a wizard's apprentice.

But in Governor Craigie's long career, none of the people who were sent to the wizard's trials came back alive.

Even the people he favored failed, let alone Roja?

But he missed it!

When Ron came back half a year ago, he couldn't believe his eyes!

Especially after hearing about Roja's deeds from Ron's mouth, knowing that Roja was able to rank sixth among many trialists, and that he became a first-class apprentice only two years after the wizard trial started, he is a true Wizard genius.

In the future, he is expected to become a third-class apprentice, and even get a glimpse of the realm of a formal wizard.

When he knew all this, he was stunned.

Did he miss it?
Could it be that he has been looking at people wrong all along?
Could it be that he had never encountered geniuses who could pass the wizard's trial before, and it was only because of him that those geniuses fell?
Governor Craigie was confused.

Governor Craigie is a stubborn man, but the facts are in front of him, what else can he do?
Their family can have such a high status today because they invested in an official wizard 300 years ago.

However, the official wizard's birthday is approaching. If the previous backer is no longer there, and new wizards cannot be trained in the future, the decline of their family is inevitable.

After all, Haine Port is the largest port in the Shenglan Kingdom, and there are countless people who covet this piece of fat.

As long as they can continuously cultivate wizard apprentices, even if they are only first-class and second-class apprentices, then they can occupy Hain Port even without the backing of official wizards.

If you can't even train a wizard apprentice...

Thinking that their family might have to rely on Roja in the future, Governor Craigie had no choice but to take action no matter how reluctant he was.

"Master Roja, congratulations on passing the wizard test. When will you marry Weiss?" Governor Craigie asked with a smile.

"Ok?"

Roja was taken aback.

What the hell is Governor Craigie talking about?

Roja looked sideways at Weiss.

Weiss lowered her head shyly, her ears turned red.

Although Weiss didn't say anything, this attitude already showed everything.

It turned out to be the case.

Roja already understood.

When he met Weiss for the first time, Weiss was an innocent girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

He spent a year in the Green Grass Trial at Hayne Port, and then stayed in the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest for four years. It has been five years since he and Weiss met.

Five years is enough time for a little girl who was an innocent girl when she first met to grow into a mature beauty.

In this era when most people get married at the age of 20 or [-], they are still unmarried at the age of [-], which will definitely attract countless rumors.

It's okay for men to say, it can be said that it is for cultivation and career, while women will only consume energy and affect themselves.

What about the girl?

Women can't find so many excuses!

Weiss is a member of the sparsely populated Craigie family, Governor Craigie will never allow her to be 20 years old and not married!

Even if you don't get married, at least you have to get engaged and have a fiancé.

Weiss didn't want to be regarded as a marriage partner to marry a man she didn't like, so she found an excuse, an excuse that she had already made a private decision with Roja for life.

At that time, Roja was undergoing wizard trials in the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest, and it was impossible for Governor Craigie to ask Roja for clarification.

And considering that Roja and Weiss were often together in the past, this possibility is very high.

Although at that time, Governor Craigie was not optimistic about Roja at all, thinking that Roja's wizard trial must fail.

But what if?
If he didn't believe in evil and forced Weis to marry him, Roja passed the wizard's trial and became a great wizard apprentice. After the return of the king, he found that his beloved Weiss had been married under the coercion of the family.

Their family must be prepared to bear the wrath of an apprentice wizard!
So after knowing Roya and Weiss' "adultery", Governor Craigie could only suppress his anger.

How lucky Governor Craigie was at this time that he was calm enough at that time.

He looked at the coy and shy granddaughter Weiss with her head down, and at Roja who was silently drinking black tea without speaking.

"Master Roja, are you worried about the ten-year trip to the wizard's residence? Afraid of an accident in the wizard's residence, making Weiss a widow?"

Governor Craigie, who thought he had guessed Roja's inner thoughts, said with a smile: "Master Roja, do you know? Our Craigie family was just a small viscount family 300 years ago."

"The reason why I was able to be promoted to the Earl's family and to manage the lucrative place of Haine Port is because someone became a wizard apprentice with the help of my ancestors."

"Later, that apprentice wizard became an official wizard, one of the three major wizards in Shenglan Kingdom today!"

"Since I learned that you, Master Roja, have passed the wizard test, I have written to that lord to beg her for help, and I should get a reply in a few days."

"With the help of that lord, with your strength and talent, the ten-year journey to the wizard's residence will definitely not be a problem."

click!
The tea cup in Roja's hand burst suddenly, and the warm tea flowed out from the crack, soaking Roja's fingers.

Seeing Roja who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, Governor Craigie laughed loudly, "Master Roja, you don't need to be so excited, and you don't need to thank me, we will be a family soon, help this little one You should be busy."

Governor Craigie's eyes were moving between Roya and Weiss, "Oh, I'm old, and I feel tired after just a few words. I'll go down and rest first. You two haven't seen each other for so long. Do you want to talk a lot? I won't bother you young couple."

The servant pushed Governor Craigie's wheelchair away.

Weiss waved her hand, making all the servants in the room retreat.

Immediately apologized to Roja, "Lord Roja, I had no choice but to do that, I hope you can understand."

"understand?"

"And you're not without any benefits, are you?"

"...There will be no next time!"

Roja snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left the room.

Only Weiss was left standing in the room with an ugly expression.
