dark witches rise

Chapter 218 Seeing Sejie Holy Knight Again

Kingdom of Shenglan.

Province of Sirian.

In the mansion of Earl Naranja in Carter City.

at night.

In the banquet hall, almost the nobles from the entire province of Silian gathered.

The aristocrats were toasting and mingling, reminiscing with friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

A handsome man in a suit and leather shoes and a beautiful woman in a gorgeous long skirt danced in pairs on the dance floor to the music.

The nobles present were virtually divided into small circles.

Among them, two small circles are the most eye-catching.

One is the circle headed by Earl Naranga.

One is the small circle headed by the newly promoted Viscount Derry Nange.

Derry was radiant, slightly chubby with a kind smile and chatted happily with the people who came to toast.

"Viscount Derry, you have a good son!"

"Mrs. Sirin, your son Rick can be awarded the Knight Medal, it can be said that everyone expects it!"

"Not long ago, I just became a viscount, and now my son has received a knighthood. The Nange family is really thriving!"

People kept praising Derry and Sirin.

For these compliments, Derry and Sirin both took it as they asked.

"Grandpa." A childish and lovely voice sounded beside Derry.

Derry, who was chatting happily with the others, felt his trousers being pulled.

Looking down, it was the son of the second son Rick, his 12-year-old grandson Rick.

"Rick, why do you have such a bitter face? Is there something you want to eat that you dare not take?" Derry gently stroked his grandson Rick's little head and smiled.

"No, it's not." Rick shook his head, his eyes looked elsewhere, and fell on the other four people who had won the Knight's Order.

Derry immediately understood why his grandson Rick had a sour face.

Every five years in the province of Silian, a knight competition will be held, and the top few knights in the knight competition will have the opportunity to receive a knight medal.

The Order of Knighthood is a great honor for every knight.

Theoretically, the Knight Medal was not issued by Earl Naranga, but after Earl Naranga reported the candidates to the king, and the king stamped the award.

Therefore, those who have the Order of Knights are also called Kingdom Knights.

Being able to obtain the Order of Knights and become a member of the Knights of the Kingdom is definitely the honor that every knight dreams of.

People will give warm wishes to everyone who has won the Order of Knights.

Derry's second son, 30-year-old Rick, is one of the current five knights.

Even though they are also recipients of the Order of the Knights, their treatment is significantly different from the other four.

Except for their own people and some low-status families, almost none of the real nobles in the province of Silian came up to congratulate them.

As for the reason-

Rick, who was only 12, probably couldn't figure it out, but how could Derry not know?
Because Rick did not get the knight medal through the knight competition, but made a great contribution to the province of Silian, and was specially awarded the knight medal.

The gold content of the two methods of obtaining knightly medals can be said to be very different.

The general "great contribution, special award of knight medal" is gilded to the children of big families, and ordinary big families do not have this qualification.

Rick, as the son of a new viscount, robbed them of the knighthood that should have belonged to them, and those people would definitely feel upset.

Derry scratched his head, how should he explain it to his grandson?

In the eyes of adults such as Derry and Sirin, the benefits at hand are real, so what does other people's opinions matter to them?
Those people are not happy if they are unhappy, does it prevent them from becoming viscounts?Get in the way of their son Rick's knighthood?
But he doesn't want his grandson Rick to be exposed to the darkness of adults prematurely.

If possible, he wants to train Rick to be a great knight respected by everyone, a knight who can win the knight medal in the knight competition by virtue of his own strength when he grows up.

When Derry was worrying about how to speak, he saw the lively young girl walking towards them, and Derry rushed to greet them.

"Princess Sissy, hello." Derry said.

The visitor was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with bright blond hair who was as cute as a doll.

The daughter of the current Earl of Naranja, Sissi.

"Hello, Uncle Derry." Sissy bowed elegantly while pulling her skirt, before her eyes fell on Rick.

Being watched by Sissy, Rick blushed and hid behind Derry, only daring to watch furtively.

"Are you Master Rick, the son of Knight Rick?" Sissy walked over and grabbed Rick's hands regardless of Rick's resistance. "Can you dance? No? I'll teach you."

Under Sissy's warm invitation, Rick blushed and frequently looked at Grandpa Derry.

Derry patted Rick on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "It's rare that Princess Sissy invites you to dance, how can you refuse? Let's have a good time."

Rick, whose head was steaming, was forcibly pulled away by Sissy.

Seeing Derry, who continued to drink and chat with other people, and Rick, who was dancing on the dance floor with the beautiful and lovely earl's daughter Sissy, many people showed jealous expressions.

"A few years ago, he was just a mere knight. However, to entrust the kingdom to set up a pharmacy union, he needed an earlier representative in our province of Silian. He just became a viscount. He dared to be so arrogant."

"He is no ordinary viscount. I heard that his eldest son, Roja, was a student of the late Paladin Seje."

"Student? Hehe, I don't think it's just as simple as a student, right? Don't look at the age of the Paladin Sejie who was 80 or [-] years old. In terms of beauty, he is definitely the most beautiful woman in our province of Silian. There are not many men who can control him. "

"Hush, do you want to court death?"

The dissatisfaction of many nobles present with the Derry family has overflowed uncontrollably.

But this is the residence of Earl Naranga, so they don't have much to say.

At the height of the banquet, Earl Naranga suddenly walked to the front of the hall.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Earl Naranja waved his hand, and all the people who were communicating fell silent, even the band stopped the music.

"Since my aunt Serjie's paladin passed away unfortunately, there are no paladins in our province of Silian, and they are ridiculed by people in other provinces, but this history is up to today!" Earl Nalanga said impassionedly.

"what?"

"A new paladin?"

"Who is it?"

Although everyone present knew that the so-called paladins were all disguised as wizards.

But even if it is fake, there is a huge difference between having and not having one.

When introducing myself to others, being able to say "I come from the same hometown as the current paladin" is a very face-saving thing.

The Paladin Sejie has passed away for so many years, and it is time for the province of Cirian to welcome a new Paladin.

According to past practice, the paladin should be from the Earl Naranja family.

Under the expectation of everyone in the banquet hall.

A man in silver-white holy armor walked out slowly.

"he is?"

"never seen it."

"Not from Earl Naranja's family."

Many people present looked at the visitor and frowned in thought.

While most people don't know the new paladin, there are a handful who do.

"Son?" Derry's eyes widened in shock.

"Roja?" The wine glass in Sirin's hand fell silently.

"Brother?" Rick looked dazed and couldn't believe this fact.

"Is that the legendary Uncle Roja?" Rick looked curiously.

Under the gaze of everyone shocked, puzzled, puzzled, etc.

Earl Nalanga pointed to Roja and introduced: "This is our new paladin in the province of Silian, Roja Nange!"

"Roja is a student of the previous paladin Sejie, who left our province of Silian 17 years ago to practice around."

"After 17 years of training and fighting, he has finally stepped into the realm of the legendary Paladin!"

"Half a month ago, he even killed a legendary Warcraft Dragon Snake in Kuka City, saving the lives of people in the entire Kuka City."

Earl Naranja raised his hands high, "Let's cheer for the Roja Paladins of our Silian province!"

With Earl Naranga taking the lead, deafening cheers immediately resounded throughout the banquet hall.

"Roa Paladin—"

"Roa Paladin—"

People kept chanting Roja's name, and many people shouted until their throats became hoarse.

Among them, Roja's family and friends are the most excited.

After cheering.

Roja smiled and said, "Give everyone a gift."

Roja stretched out his right hand, and a white light ball full of vitality condensed in his palm.

After the ball of life light condensed to a certain extent, Roja waved his hand, and the ball of light flew into the air and shattered loudly.

The shattered light sphere turned into streamers of light and entered everyone present.

Under the nourishment of vitality, everyone only felt that all the exhaustion in the body was swept away.

Those with injuries and illnesses feel that their injuries have improved a lot.

"Paladin Roja and I still have things to do, excuse me, please drink slowly." Earl Nalanga took Roja away.

As soon as the two left, the people present immediately cast their eyes on Roja's father Derry.

Not so long ago they thought Derry was a country bumpkin, and they looked at him with disdain.

After Roja appeared as a paladin, their attitude towards Derry suddenly changed.

"Master Derry, you have given birth to a good son!"

"Viscount Derry, I have a reception at my house tomorrow, are you interested in coming over?"

"My sons have always admired the Paladin Roja and dreamed of becoming a student of the Paladin Roja. Can you recommend them?"

Under the flattery of the crowd, Derry laughed from ear to ear.

……

In the stairs leading to the ground.

Earl Naranga led the way with a torch held high.

When he came to the end of the stairs, a ten-meter-high thick stone gate appeared in front of Roja.

"Lord Roja, Aunt Sejie is inside." Count Nalanga said respectfully.

"Ah."

After Roja nodded, he came to the door.

He pressed his hand on the door, and before he could use any force, the door opened with a heavy creaking sound.

Inside the thick stone gate is a passage.

Roja walked into the passage, and the stone door behind him closed automatically.

Roja kept walking along the passage, and the stone doors opened and closed continuously.

When the last stone door opened.

The howling hot wind is coming!

This sudden hot wind that could melt even steel startled Roja.

After Roja settled down, he looked into the room.

There is a huge crystal in the room, and there is a beautiful figure in the depth of the crystal.

——Seja Kat Naranga!

After 20 years, he met Sejie again.

When the two of them met for the first time, he was just an ordinary great knight, and Sejie was still using the identity of a paladin.

Now meet again.

Roja has become a third-class apprentice, a limit-breaking apprentice who can fight against formal wizards in the realm of apprentices.

And Serge...

If Roja is not mistaken, Sejie is already an official wizard!

It's just why Sejie, who is an official wizard, wants to seal herself in the crystal?

What's the matter with the heat continuously gushing from Sejie's body?

"Roa Nange has met Lord Sejie." Roja said respectfully while kneeling down halfway.

"I didn't expect that little big knight back then to have such an achievement." Sejie, who was sealed in the crystal, obviously didn't move, but her voice sounded deep in Roja's consciousness.

Roja's heart trembled.

As a limit-breaking apprentice, he has the strength to fight against a first-level wizard, and he is not afraid of the coercion of the Muhua wizard.

But Sejie just stood in front of him and said a word or two to him, but he was terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Sejie is definitely not as simple as an ordinary first-level wizard!
"Sign a blood contract with a creature from another world, and be able to transform into a first-level monster by using the phantom of returning to the source... I heard that you once did a mission with Adams of the bipolar hunter family during the wizard's trial?" Sejie said.

Roja didn't know what Se Jie meant, so he just lowered his head silently.

"such a pity."

"With the talent you have shown, it is possible to become a second-level wizard in the future, but you signed a blood contract with a first-level monster from another world for the sake of temporary power."

After a few words of regret, Se Jie continued: "Roja, it may be because of the adventure you got in the wizard trial, your spiritual talent is very powerful, allowing you to have no less than a new first-level wizard in the apprenticeship state. powerful spiritual power."

"However, if you want to advance to a first-level wizard, only mental power is far from enough."

"Based on your spiritual power, if the purity of magic power can reach 50.00%, the success rate of advanced level wizards should be close to 90.00%."

"How long do you think it will take you to cultivate the purity of your magic power to 50.00%?"

Facing Sejie's question, Roja didn't think long, "It will take 40 years."

Roja's spiritual talent is very powerful, but his blood talent is quite rubbish.

And the later the magic power purity is, the more difficult it is to increase. It is more difficult to increase from 40.00% to 50.00% than from 20.00% to 40.00%.

With Roja's low bloodline talent, coupled with the assistance of potions and the help of the certificate of twin souls, it will take him 40 years to cultivate the purity of magic power to 50.00%.

Is 40 years a long time?

Definitely not too long!
I don't know how many people want to become official wizards but fail.

When I don't know how many people hit the first level, the success rate is less than [-]%.

Roja only needs to practice for another 40 years, and his spiritual power and magic power can reach the standard. The success rate of hitting the first level is close to 90.00%, which is enough to make countless wizards envious and jealous to death!

And 40 years later, Roja was only 78 years old.

A 78-year-old first-level wizard can't be said to be young and promising, but he can't be said to be old either.

But will Roja be satisfied?
Is he really willing to wait 40 years before hitting the realm of a formal wizard?
the answer is--

impossible!
"Master Sejie, can you help me?" Roja asked.

A ray of light flew out from Se Jie's body, passing through the crystal that sealed Se Jie to Roja.

Roja looked at the thing floating in front of him, it was a palm-sized disc, engraved with ancient runes, and twelve white gemstones were inlaid on the disc.

"This is?" Roja wondered.

"This is a twelve-star compass, on which there are twelve gemstones representing the twelve constellations, which are used to store the power of the protoss." Sejie explained.

"The power of the star spirit?"

"Every time a constellation gemstone is lit, the speed of magic power cultivation can be doubled."

"How can I collect the power of the star spirit?"

"Go to the ancient meteorite mine."

Roja shook his hand, Starfall Ancient Mine?

The ancient meteorite mine that Sejie mentioned should not be the ancient meteorite mine that the master of the magic machine domain set up for the second trial?

"The Starfall Ancient Mine is an advanced apprentice resource planet, with a total of seven floors."

"The first layer produces primary meteorites, the second layer produces intermediate meteorites, the third layer produces high-level meteorites, and the last four floors..."

"It is a star spirit remnant beast transformed from dead star spirit fragments. Use a special method to seal the star spirit remnant beast, and you can get the power of the star spirit."

During the speech, another ray of light flew out of Se Jie, and a leather-like thing was suspended in front of Roja, "This is the key to the ancient star meteorite mine."

"Master Sejie, the function of the twelve-star compass is not only to speed up the cultivation of magic power?" Roja asked with narrowed eyes.

"I need the power of the protoss to perfect my protoss bloodline." Se Jie said.

"Protoss bloodline?" Roja was startled.

The Protoss is a life conceived by the stars, and one Hengxin can only breed one Protoss.

As soon as the protoss was born, it had the strength comparable to a fourth-level wizard.

After the protoss absorbs the energy of the entire star and becomes a complete body, its strength can even be comparable to that of a sixth-level wizard.

Even in the heavens and worlds, the protoss can be regarded as an extremely powerful family!
Protoss bloodline is the most top bloodline!
Sejie is the blood of the protoss?
No wonder it will continue to emit heat like the sun.

But looking at Sejie's appearance, her star spirit bloodline should have been acquired through some kind of secret method, so it has a very big flaw, and she must rely on the power of the star spirit to perfect the bloodline.

There are not many places in the world where the power of the protoss can be collected.

Even if you know the place, it is not so easy to find someone who can collect the power of the star spirit.

Roja was going to the ancient Xingyun mine, so regarding the fact that Sejie asked him to use the twelve-star compass to collect the power of the protoss...

"Master Sejie, I, Roja, am willing to serve you." Roja said.

"Okay, I'll tell you about the Xingyun ancient mine in detail, and you can ask if you have other questions." Se Jie said.

For the next half month, Roja stayed in the depths of Earl Naranja's mansion and chatted with Sejie.

There's a lot to talk about.

Some are about the ancient Xingyun mine, some are about the land of the Six Kingdoms, and some are about the three major witch cities of Shenwa Wuyu.

As a half-blood wizard with no background, Roja has no teacher and no family, so he knows very little about the wizarding world.

Under Se Jie's teaching, Roja has learned a lot about the wizarding world, and learned many hidden secrets of the wizarding world.

Half a month later, Roja took the twelve-star compass to bid farewell to Sejie and left.
