dark witches rise

Chapter 18 Not a Species at All

Luke rudely lifted the lid of the barrel.

Take the bamboo wine spoon to scoop up the wine and deliver it to your mouth.

"Grumbling..."

The wine trickled down the corners of Luke's mouth and down his neck, soaking the chest hair on his muscular chest that was half-opened.

Today's Luke looks a little haggard, and his eyes look a little decadent.

Matched Xu's messy beard that he hadn't taken care of, and the appearance of drinking hard.

Properly a vicissitudes uncle with a deep story.

If those young and ignorant little girls saw it, they would surely be captured immediately, right?

One spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls...

Seeing Luke drinking wine with a spoon like drinking plain water, Roja on the side was stunned.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Can a human's stomach hold so much wine?"

A spoonful of wine is close to a catty, and Luke drank more than ten spoonfuls in one breath, which is nearly ten catties of wine.

After drinking so much, even the great knight Luke, who had awakened his blood and whose physical strength exceeded the limit of the human body, became drunk.

Snapped!
Luke suddenly slapped the table with his hand, scaring Roja's mind.

"Lord Luke, what's the matter?"

"liquor!"

After Roja reacted, he immediately drank wine with Luke.

In less than half an hour, a barrel full of fifty catties of wine had bottomed out.

Luke was visibly drunk and started raving.

Because Roja had visualized the meditation scroll, his mental strength was far stronger than that of ordinary people, but even if he could maintain a clear consciousness, his body could not help but become soft under the influence of alcohol.

Seeing that Luke casually revealed many family secrets that could not be told to outsiders, Roja knew that the time was ripe.

"Lord Luke, are wizards strong?" Roja asked in a low voice.

It has been a month since Roja learned about the existence of wizards from Barney witch doctor.

But until now, he still doesn't know how strong the wizard is.

Luke obviously knows a lot more about wizards than he does.

Facing Roja's question, even Luke, who was drunk and kept talking nonsense, his body obviously paused, and his eyes, which had become foggy due to alcohol, recovered a little sanity.

"It's not whether it's strong or not, but the kind of..."

"That kind of invincibility, we knights can't resist..."

"Ugh--"

Luke slumped in his chair with a sigh.

The deep pupils seem to have traveled back in time and returned to the past.

Roja tactfully didn't make any interruptions, but kept pouring wine into Luke's glass.

While drinking, Luke slowly talked about the wizard.

"23 years ago, my father took me, who was 12 years old, to Carter City to celebrate Earl Naranga's 70th birthday."

"Carter City is a city much larger than our Silla Town, and Silla Town is not even a block in Carter City."

"Earl Naranja's mansion is even more enormous."

"The ground is paved with square-cut marble, and there are gardens, ponds, fountains, groves..."

"After entering through the gate, it takes half an hour in a carriage to reach the banquet hall."

"In that place, my father and I, who came from a baronial family in a remote country, didn't even dare to speak loudly to the servants."

"For example, our Okoman family may not be able to produce one great knight in 100 years. You can see more than ten at a glance in the banquet hall."

"Then……"

Luke's tone suddenly became low, "It's a wizard!"

"Those wizards in black robes who have been hidden in the shadows since ancient times and controlled the rotation of the entire world have appeared."

"As the wizard appears, there is a battle."

"No, it should be a sideshow."

"A sideshow in which five great knights challenge a wizard."

"That wizard didn't use magic power, witchcraft, or all kinds of weird abilities. He just used his life force with his sword, and easily defeated the five great knights!"

The most terrifying thing about wizards is their strange abilities such as magic, witchcraft, and spiritual power.

A wizard who doesn't use those weird abilities can't even display a tenth of his strength.

However, even so, the combination of the five great knights could still be easily defeated!
Luke hugged his body with his hands, as if in fear.

"The pride of our knights, the ultimate goal of all swordsmen, the incomparably powerful knight is so weak in the hands of the wizard?"

"As a child, I didn't want to believe this cruel truth."

"After Earl Naranga's birthday banquet, I locked myself in my room and cried for a full ten days."

"Hehe, I was still too naive back then."

Luke lowered his head, his expression became extremely gloomy.

Even 23 years later, the shock of that night still affects Luke deeply.

The scene where the five great knights teamed up and were defeated by the wizard is still deeply imprinted in Luke's mind, and he will never forget it.

"..."

Even Roja was a little shocked, "I don't know who is that wizard?"

Luke shook his head hehe, "It's just the weakest wizard who just passed the trial of blood and became a first-class wizard apprentice."

Roja shook his hand!
He wasn't really shocked until this time!
If you want to become a wizard, you must accept the trial of green grass and the trial of blood, these two cruel trials of life and death.

And only those who successfully pass the test can be regarded as a real wizard.

A first class wizard apprentice.

After that, there are second-class apprentices, third-class apprentices, and first, second, third... ninth-level wizards.

The weakest first-class apprentice can defeat five great knights with only one-tenth of his strength?
This……

Knights and wizards are two species at all!

No wonder Luke was so hit.

If Roja can only struggle as a knight in this life and does not have the aptitude to become a wizard, he will also have to despair.

"What about the Paladin?" Roja asked.

"What paladin? The five great paladins of the Holy Lan Kingdom are all wizards in real life!" Luke drank heavily.

"I mean real paladins."

"...A real paladin?" Luke smiled wryly, "Where do you get a paladin? A paladin is just an illusory legend, and a great knight is the pinnacle of knights."

Luke was already drunk, and Roja was not feeling well.

If you continue to drink, even if Roja has strong mental power, he might get drunk.

Roja has too many secrets, what if he speaks nonsense after drinking?
So he dared not get drunk.

So he got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, and the wine is almost done. Next, we have to fight against the wolf disaster. I will leave first."

"No hurries!"

Luke put his arm around Roja's shoulder, "What state are you at now?"

Roja replied without concealment: "In terms of strength, it is close to a high-level knight, and the realm... two days ago, I was lucky enough to open the secret hole."

"The strength is still a bit weak. If you want to better resist the wolf disaster, you must become stronger."

"I will practice hard."

"It's only been a few days, what's the use of practicing? How much can you increase your strength? Come with me, and I'll show you something good."

Luke leaned on the wall and staggered ahead to lead the way.

Roja, who was following behind Luke, his eyes twinkled with excitement.
