dark witches rise

Chapter 20 Do You Want Power?

Roja left Okoman Castle full of joy holding the thousand-year-old bronze root.

The moment he walked out of the sealed stone castle, the cold evening wind blew in front of him, and Roja woke up most of his wine.

Roja never thought that this harvest would be so big.

To be able to get a thousand-year-old bronze root!

This is a rare treasure worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and money can't buy it!

"This trip made a lot of money!"

If it wasn't for his image, Roja would have laughed out loud in the street.

He walked quickly towards the house.

It is already late at night, and most of the residents of Xinluo Town have fallen asleep.

But under the sleepy town, an undercurrent is surging.

Along the way, Roja met many people wearing armor and carrying swords, walking in a hurry.

But no matter how hurried these people are, they will stop and say hello to Roja when they come to Roja.

This is all because of the reputation that Roja has accumulated in the past month.

Because of the wolf disaster, because of Roja's knight strength, in just one month, his reputation has surpassed the accumulation of others for decades.

Now in Silla Town, the only one whose prestige can definitely suppress Roja is the new Baron Luke.

Return to Kaiterri Castle.

The lights in the castle were still on.

In the lobby on the first floor, Derry and Sirin looked towards the door from time to time, their faces full of anxiety.

Some of them have already received word that the wolf king crusade team has returned after a failure, that the former baron, Baron Horne, has died, and that Luke has become the new baron.

It's just that their status is not enough to be invited to Okoman Castle to participate in the meeting, and they cannot get more in-depth information.

But they can't, Roja can?
They were anxiously waiting for Roja to come back after the meeting.

Wait and wait.

Looking at Roja who appeared at the door, Driscillin and the two jumped up from their chairs and walked towards Roja quickly.

"Roja, what happened?" Derry immediately asked when they met.

Sirin stood aside and looked at Roja nervously.

"The wolf king's crusade team failed, and the crusade team suffered heavy casualties. A few days later, the wolf king will lead a team to attack Silla Town. The new Baron Luke ordered everyone to gather everyone in Silla Town to the Outer Fort of Okoman... "

Roja briefly recounted the content of the meeting to Delhi.

"How to do how to do?……"

Derry paced back and forth, frowning.

Deli, who really can't think of a good solution, can only pin his hopes on Roja.

Unknowingly, Roja has become the backbone of the Kaiteri family, and the most trusted person of the Derricillins.

"Father, after the wolf disaster is over, I will definitely be granted the territory!" Roja clenched his fists and said to himself.

If he was not so sure before, then now that he has obtained the thousand-year-old bronze root, he no longer has any doubts.

"Really?"

Derry opened his mouth wide, and Sirin looked at Roja in shock.

"Naturally." Roja nodded confidently.

"Did Lord Luke give you a guarantee?" Derry guessed.

Of course Luke didn't give Roja any guarantee, but Roja knew that Luke wouldn't be so stupid that he wouldn't even grant a knight collar to a great knight.

As Roja nodded slightly, Derry was so happy that he almost jumped up and cheered.

After the meeting, Roja did not come back for a long time because Derry knew about the fact that he stayed in Oakman Castle to hold secret talks with the new Baron Luke.

Although this represented Luke's trust in Roja, he did not expect to be able to promise the territory in advance.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Derry clapped his hands violently, his face flushed with excitement.

If he was not afraid of offending others, he would have yelled loudly—"The wolf disaster has come!"

Although the wolf disaster killed many people, even Baron Horne died because of it.

But Derry has always been a selfish person. As long as he can get the territory, what does the life and death of others have to do with him?

Roja could see the expression of his father Delhi.

Roja could guess what father Derry was thinking.

Is there no business but no rape?
There is nothing wrong with a businessman being treacherous for money, but that is only a small businessman.

If you want to become a real big businessman, you need to master the "potential".

Only by taking advantage of the momentum and gaining the appreciation of those in power can one become a giant businessman.

Because Delhi was born as a commoner and had little knowledge, he has a serious lack of understanding of how strong the strong are. Many times, there are many exceptions in behavior and handling.

For example, in the face of a huge wolf disaster that could destroy even the town, even the baron risked his life to fight, the first thought of a mere small businessman was to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?

Isn't this looking for death?

In the past, Delhi was just a small drug dealer, and the people who came and went were only small people, and the nobles with the title of knights could not be seen a few times throughout the year.

In the future, when one's status rises, one will interact with all kinds of famous nobles. If one continues to behave as before, it is easy to be caught by others.

It is impossible for Roja to stay at home all the time, if Derry died unexpectedly when he left to venture around the Six Lands...

Although he is a father who cares about money and power, Roja still hopes that he can live well and live until the end of his life.

Roja put his hand on Derry's shoulder, "In the coming wolf disaster, we will help as much as possible. Don't worry about money, medicine, etc. It doesn't matter if they run out."

Derry nodded, "Of course, this is a major matter related to the territory. I will definitely let the new baron, Lord Luke, know how loyal our Kaiteri family is to him!"

After discussing some specific operations with his father, Roja took the thousand-year-old bronze root and quickly walked towards the Barney Medical Center on Minke Street.

Roja has read many books related to medicine, and knows the medicinal effects of the thousand-year-old bronze root and how to use it.

But he is a little concerned about the side effects of the thousand-year-old bronze root, and he hopes that Barney witch doctor can give him a good solution.

The side effects of the thousand-year-old bronze root are——

The skin will become as rough as bark, and the defense power will be greatly increased.

But relatively, the reaction force will drop a lot.

This side effect can be both good and bad.

On the battlefield, wearing heavy armor and facing a sea of ​​people does not require a fast reaction, but the improvement of defense can greatly enhance the survival rate.

So people in the army prefer this side effect.

Koroja has no plans to join the army.

His future goal is to have adventures in this fantasy world.

The enemies he will face are all kinds of dangers, all kinds of monsters, and powerful and strange wizards.

In the face of these enemies, reaction power is much more important than the increased defense power.

In fact, Roja knew the way to eliminate the side effects of the thousand-year-old bronze root, but that would greatly reduce the efficacy of the thousand-year-old bronze root.

Roja would like to ask the witch doctor Barney if there is a good way to eliminate the side effects of the thousand-year-old copper root without reducing the efficacy of the medicine.

Facing Roja who visited late at night, Barney witch doctor didn't blame him at all.

The witch doctor Barney stroked his beard and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that kid Luke to give you the thousand-year-old bronze root."

Facing Roja's question, Barney witch doctor thought for a while.

"Eliminate side effects?"

"Um……"

Barney witch doctor lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at Roja, "I just happen to have a yang fruit here."

Roja's body shook, "What?"

Shengyang fruit is a treasure of the same level as the thousand-year-old bronze root.

The functions of the two are also similar, both can help quasi-knights break through the realm of knights, allow junior knights to reach the peak of knights, and increase the probability of peak knights breaking through to great knights.

It's just that the side effects are very different.

The thousand-year-old bronze root will make the user's skin hard and rough, increase defense and reduce reaction.

Shengyang fruit can prolong life, eliminate calluses, restore youth, and make skin smooth.

Roja was not surprised that the Barney witch doctor had the yang fruit.

After all, the Barney witch doctor is much more mysterious and powerful than the Baron Okoman family, and it is normal to have some rare treasures.

but--

Roja was puzzled: "Teacher, you mean to use the thousand-year-old copper root and raw sun fruit at the same time, so that the side effects of the two can cancel each other out? Is this kind of thing really possible?"

Roja has read a lot of books on medicinal materials, but this is the first time he has heard of this kind of thing.

But the reason why he asked was not to question Barney witch doctor.

Since Barney witch doctor said so, it must be correct, how could he doubt it?

Roja was just asking Barney witch doctor to solve his doubts.
