dark witches rise

Chapter 17 is the wizard

With the departure of Knight Giroud, the atmosphere in the hall became even more heavy.

I thought that Luke had become a great knight, so he would be able to deal with mere wolves?
Unexpectedly, at the cost of the baron's seal, and risking being deprived of his title, Luke asked Earl Naranga for help at the highest level?

Everyone's hearts are full of anxiety.

Even Roja, who had a little understanding of the truth of the matter, was shrouded in anxiety.

"Dahl! Ike!"

Following Luke's words, two robust middle-aged men in leather armor came out of the crowd and knelt down in front of Luke.

Luke took out two letters and handed them to Dahl and Ike.

"Dar, you lead five people to Beiluo Town to ask Baron Tess for help, and Ike, you lead five people to Xigao Town to ask Baron Weir for help."

"Yes!"

"As ordered!"

After Dahl and Ike left.

"Matthew."

"exist!"

"You take 50 people to the towns of Santo and Ota, which were conquered by wolves, and move back all the things that are useful for defending the wolves. Be careful, and give up if there are powerful magic wolves stationed here."

"learn."

Luke looked at the rest of the people and said in a deep voice:

"The number of wolves that are about to attack may exceed [-]. It is impossible to defend Silla Town. We can only gather everyone in the castle outside the castle to jointly resist the wolf disaster."

The total number of original residents of Xinluo Town plus those who fled from refugees has exceeded [-].

However, the area outside Okoman Castle is equivalent to a high school, and tens of thousands of people can still be squeezed together.

"The three of you, Steward Jason, Steward Ronald, and Steward Tenado, have a better understanding of the people and things in the town, and you are responsible for the migration of ordinary people."

"Vice Captain Lei Lun, Knight Marco..."

"You select people to prepare for the wolf plague."

Luke methodically gave one order after another, even if Baron Horn was still alive.

An hour later, everyone took orders and left Okoman Castle.

Only Roja stood still.

Luke squinted his eyes at Roja, and asked, "Captain Roja, didn't I ask you to lead fifteen elite guards to investigate the specific movements of the wolves?"

"You stand here motionless, do you have any opinion on my arrangement?"

Detecting the movements of wolves and reporting them in time is the most important and dangerous task.

Luke handed over this task to Roja, which shows his trust in Roja.

Koroa's reaction disappointed Luke.

"Lord Baron Luke!" Roja knelt down on one knee, "I think I can play a bigger role, please let me assist you better!"

"Hmph! It's nice to say, isn't it because I'm afraid...Huh?"

Luke, who was originally annoyed by Roja's "timidity and fear of getting into trouble", looked at Roja's red skin that was steaming with steam, and his eyes widened.

"This is?" Luke stood up abruptly, looking at Roja in disbelief.

Roja's performance is a feature that stimulates vitality!
Although it can't condense the fire of life like Luke, it undoubtedly stimulates the vitality.

The reason why there is no fire of life is probably that the physical strength is not strong enough, and the vitality is too little to be like a real great knight.

"you you you……"

After staring at Roja for a while, Luke sat back in his seat.

"I heard that you were bitten by a very poisonous magical beast Manhua Snake a month ago?"

"Well, I was lucky enough to save my life."

"Hey, is it a fluke?"

The frontal combat ability of the Manhua Snake can be said to be a shame for junior monsters, but its venom is extremely terrifying.

Official knights were bitten, and they all narrowly escaped death.

Even if it is a big knight, I am afraid it will be difficult.

At that time, Roja was a quasi-knight who was poisoned by the Manhua snake. Even if he survived by chance, he should be a useless person in this life.

Didn't expect not only not to be abolished, but also to advance instead of retreat in strength?

"I should have thought of this possibility a long time ago, and only in this way can you stand in front of me..."

"Well, I still call myself a genius."

"Actually, you are the real genius!"

"It's really overkill for you to be a scout."

"Come on, come up."

Luke invited Roja to come and sit beside him, and poured a full bowl of wine for Roja himself.

bang.

After the two drank the full bowl of wine in one go.

Luke patted Roja's shoulder, "Haha, good boy! I didn't expect you to surpass me!"

Luke is the captain of the defense team, and Roja is the new star of the defense team. Luke is very familiar with Roja and has personally coached Roja.

Luke never expected that Roja, who usually needs three to five years of hard training to step into the realm of knights, was lucky enough to awaken his blood half-step into the realm of great knights.

If he hadn't awakened his bloodline at the critical moment of life and death this time, he might have been defeated by Luo Ya.

In the past, facing Roja, a quasi-big knight, Luke must have been very distressed.

But now it's different!
When the powerful wolf disaster struck, he was extremely excited to have such a powerful helper appear.

After three or two cups, the two of them gradually let go of their words.

"What happened in this wolf king crusade?" Roja asked "inadvertently" through his drunkenness.

"..."

Luke froze.

Click!

The wine glass in Luke's hand cracked, and the wine overflowed along the crack, and the water droplets fell on the table, making a crisp ticking sound.

Roja seemed to realize that he said something wrong at this time, and quickly apologized:

"I drank a little too much, it's too strong, don't pay attention to what I said, haha, hahaha..."

"..."

After Luke was silent for a while, he shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid that what other people say will shake their confidence. You have already half-stepped into the realm of a great knight. In fact, there is no need to hide it from you."

"So what happened?"

Roja's eyes, which were still drunk and hazy just now, suddenly became extremely bright.

Since Roja meditated on the ancient scrolls, improved his mental power, and awakened his blood, his drinking capacity has improved a lot.

Even if he drank seven or eight catties of liquor at a time, his body was just getting hot, but his consciousness was still very clear.

He just pretended to drink too much just now, and took the opportunity to ask some inconvenient questions.

Roja is looking forward to Luke's answer.

He knew that this wolf disaster was not simple. After all, the soaring blood and the scarlet skull he saw through the certificate of twin souls told him that something terrible was happening deep in the Yakara Mountains.

But he didn't know exactly where the difficulty was.

"...a wizard."

Luke pondered for a long time, and finally said these three words.

Sure enough?
Roja showed a clear look.

Seeing that Roja didn't show too much surprise when he heard the word wizard, Luke didn't care much.

After all, the existence of wizards is not a secret to powerful people at all, and Roja knows it is normal.

After saying the words "I'm a wizard", Luke recalled what happened in the wolf king crusade, and his expression suddenly became extremely sad.

He threw away the broken wine glass in his hand, picked up the jug beside him and drank it.

He wants to seek a drunk!
Want to forget those painful and desperate memories!
But Luke, who has awakened his blood and stepped into the realm of a great knight, has surpassed the limit of the human body.

After drinking three to five catties of a pot of wine, Luke only blushed a little, and he was not drunk at all.

"Ha ha……"

"Can't you get drunk even if you want to?"

Luke patted the table, "Wine! Wine! Wine! Hurry up and serve the wine! Don't take the wine jug, just bring me a barrel of wine!"
