dark witches rise

Chapter 220 Starfall Ancient Mine, Star Tower Kingdom

half year later.

The development of the territory is gradually on the right track.

The current Nange family territory is like a house with a well-established foundation, complete design drawings, and sufficient construction materials...

In the future, even without Roja's participation, it only needs to develop step by step according to the established plan.

Roja knew it was time for him to embark on the journey again.

Farming games are just farming games after all, and getting too addicted to them is not what a qualified wizard should do.

"It's time for the play house game to come to an end."

Say goodbye to your family and return to the fifth floor of the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest.

in front of the counter.

Roja handed the "key" of the ancient meteorite mine obtained from Sejie to Celia, the white-haired beautiful elf-like puppet maid, "I'm going to use this 'key' to go to the ancient meteorite mine."

Roja himself has the qualifications to enter the Starfall Ancient Mine.

But if he doesn't use the key he got from Sejie, after entering the Xingyun ancient mine, he needs to pay a high-level magic stone every day.

The high-level magic stone is only second, and the most important thing is that the Xingyun ancient mine is very large. If he enters the Xingyun ancient mine by himself, he has no idea where he will go to the Xingyun ancient mine.

When he goes to a place he is not familiar with, he still needs to spend a lot of time to adapt to the environment, and he needs to spend a lot of energy to detect dangers.

After having Sejie's key, it will be very different. The place he is going to is fixed.

It was the place where Sejie stayed when he was a wizard apprentice, and Sejie left a lot of things there for him to use.

He has heard all the information about that place from Sejie, which can save him a lot of trouble.

Celia took Roja's key, opened it and took a look, "It's a three-year contract key, you can use this contract key to stay in the Starfall Ancient Mine for three years."

Celia put away the contract key, "Are you sure you want to start now?"

"Yes." Roja nodded.

"For the testers who go to the ancient meteorite mine, Wanmoku will give away a "Star Hammer Method" that can refine the purity of meteorites for free. Do you need it?" Celia asked.

"Of course!" Roja nodded.

After Roja took over the secret book of "Essence Hammer Technique" from Celia, he walked towards the teleportation gate on the wall and disappeared in the fifth floor of the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest.

……

In the vast expanse of space, an extinguished star slowly rotates.

Star Meteor Ancient Mine.

Star Tower Kingdom.

In this certain country located in the depths of the ancient Xingyun mine, there is a heavily guarded gate.

A door that has stood quietly for an unknown number of years and is unknown to the world, a place that is regarded as a taboo door by the residents of the Star Tower Kingdom and is feared.

Today, this forbidden place guarded by heavily armed forces ushered in an unexpected visitor.

The huge bronze gate tens of meters high vibrated, exuding dazzling brilliance, and the hollow in the center of the gate swayed waves of ripples.

Seeing the change in the bronze gate, the soldiers stationed became panicked.

"what happened?"

"The gate seems to be opened? It seems that something is coming to us through the gate."

"What should I do?"

"Go and inform General Maugham!"

Before the arrival of General Maugham they were waiting for, an ordinary-looking man in a simple black robe had already walked out of the gate.

"stop!"

"Do not move!"

Roja, who had just stepped out of the portal, was immediately surrounded by well-equipped soldiers before he could take a good look at the surrounding environment, pointing sharp spears at him.

Feeling the coolness coming from the tip of the gun, Roja has no doubt that as long as he moves a little, those soldiers will mercilessly stab him into a hornet's nest.

"Oh, oh, I didn't expect the people here to welcome me like this."

There was no panic on Roja's face.

"This is the Starfall Ancient Mine, right?"

"The place I came to is the Kingdom of the Star Tower, right?"

"Can you take me to meet your king?"

Facing Roja's question, the surrounding soldiers just stared at him nervously with weapons in their hands, and didn't reply at all.

Roja could feel that they were waiting for someone who could make a decision.

In this case, Roja was not in a hurry, he cooperated with the soldiers and waited slowly.

While waiting, he carefully observed the ancient meteorite mine he came to.

The Kingdom of Star Towers is a country located deep underground, and the surrounding air is filled with a strong strange force.

If Roja's guess is correct, this strange power is the power of the stars.

A powerful force emanating from the stars.

When he was in the land of the Six Kingdoms, Roja could also perceive the power of the stars from the sun and the moon, but it was far less intense than here.

"Is it because the ancient meteorite mine is located on an extinct star?"

"This star should not be completely extinguished, the core is still burning, and continues to emit the power of the stars."

"That's why there is such a strong power of stars in the air, and that's why we can continuously excavate meteorites here."

After observing the environment, Roja's eyes fell on the surrounding soldiers.

"In terms of human race... there is no doubt that it is human race."

"However, since generations have lived in an environment rich in the power of the stars, their physique is very different from that of ordinary people."

"Physique is inherently stronger than ordinary people."

"Obviously living in the underground world without sunlight all his life, his skin is fair and soft."

"Obviously I have been exercising hard, but I don't see many muscles and thick calluses on my body."

Every one of the soldiers surrounding him possesses the strength no less than that of a great knight.

And everyone is fair-skinned, handsome, and slender. Standing together, dozens of hundreds of people, like a boy group on tour, can make countless female fans scream.

Looking at these soldiers who were as handsome as the men's regiment, Roja felt a little deep in his heart, "The gap between people is really huge!"

The strength of the great knight is considered a good player in the land of the Six Kingdoms.

Coupled with the handsome appearance, it can be popular everywhere.

It can be said that every person here is a sought-after commodity in the land of the Six Kingdoms.

Soon.

Roja heard footsteps approaching from several kilometers away.

The surrounding soldiers moved out of the way, and a handsome man with a face carved out of marble walked over quickly.

General Maugham came to Roja, squinted his eyes and looked at Roja carefully, "This traveler from afar, what do you want to do when you come to our country of star towers?"

"My name is Roja, and I'm a wizard. I'm a student of the paladin Seje, your good friend of King Charlie. Can you bring me to meet your King Charlie?" Roja said kindly.

"Wizard!" General Maugham shook his hand.

He had already guessed Roja's identity before meeting Roja, but when Roja said it himself, he was still shocked in his heart.

There are many legends related to wizards circulating in their country. If those legends are true, then with the power of wizards...even if all the soldiers present are no match for them!
"Dear Roja Wizard, the former King Charles passed away 20 years ago, and now His Majesty Rand is ruling the Kingdom of the Star Tower." General Maugham replied.

"What?" Roja was taken aback, "How old was King Charles when he died?"

"King Charles is sixty-three years old," General Maugham replied.

According to the information Roja got from Se Jie, King Charlie was supported by Se Jie. When Se Jie left the Kingdom of Star Tower, King Charlie was only in his 20s.

Why hasn't many years passed in a blink of an eye, and King Charles died at the age of 63, more than 20 years?

The speed of time passing in the Xingyun Ancient Mine may be slightly different from that in the Land of the Six Kingdoms.

"Then take me to see King Rand." Roja ordered.

"I have already sent someone to notify His Majesty Rand, Wizard Roja, do you mind waiting in another place?" General Maugham said cautiously.

"Yes." Roja nodded.

……

Bah!
Bah!
Bah!
Hearing the heavy closing sound of doors, Roja who was sitting alone in the empty room was a little speechless, "It seems that they don't welcome me very much."

The place General Maugham took him, from the layout point of view, is very similar to a prison.

And it was a huge prison specially used to detain him alone.

Around this prison, thousands of well-equipped elite soldiers rotate day and night, and these soldiers are all holding powerful weapons inlaid with meteorites.

Using these meteorite weapons, soldiers with only the strength of a great knight can exert a powerful force of tens of thousands of kilograms, which is comparable to the full blow of a first-class apprentice.

There is a big difference between the information from the Kingdom of Star Tower and what Sejie gave him.

It is estimated that Se Jie did not expect that she has only been away for more than ten years. Half a century has passed in the Star Tower Kingdom, and everyone she knew has died, right?

"It seems that the action plan has to be changed."

Although there is no difference between where he lives now and a prison, apart from restricting his freedom, the people of the Star Tower Country try to satisfy him as much as possible.

So he asked for a lot of books.

When he learned about the kingdom of star towers through books, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

After so long, His Majesty Rand, the king of the Star Tower Kingdom, finally planned to meet him.

In the palace hall.

"I have seen His Majesty Rand—"

All the people in the hall knelt down and worshiped King Rand, who sat on the throne and wore a crown on his head.

In the main hall, only Roja stood alone, looking very abrupt.

Those who knelt down also "kindly" winked at Roja, making Roja kneel down too.

The guards with weapons in their hands saw that Roja was standing rudely all the time, glaring at Roja angrily, and they were about to come over and take Roja down.

"Don't be rude to our distinguished guests." King Rand stopped the guards who were about to capture Roja, "Roja wizards come from a distant wizarding country, and it is normal for us not to understand the etiquette of our star tower country, let's not be too harsh on him .”

"Everyone get up and sit down."

The courtiers in the hall quickly sat down, and Roja also sat in his place under the guidance of the guards.

King Rand sat on the throne at the front of the hall, and the queen and prince waited on King Rand's side.

The rest of the prime ministers are sorted according to their status and sit on both sides of the hall according to their positions.

Roja, the guest, is in the middle of the seat, in a position that is neither above nor below.

King Rand did not immediately communicate with Roja.

He first discussed with other ministers about the kingdom of star towers, such as ore mining, blacksmith competitions, food planting... and so on.

After a few hours passed and the affairs of the kingdom were almost discussed, King Rand focused his attention on Roja.

"My father, King Charlie, was a good friend of the Paladin Sejie. Before he died, he still chanted the name of the wizard Sejie. It's a pity that he couldn't meet the Paladin Sejie again. Alas..."

After King Rand sighed softly, he looked at Roja and asked, "Are you a friend of Paladin Sejie? I don't know how Paladin Sejie is doing now?"

Then, King Rand chatted with Roja about many topics related to the wizarding world.

King Rand patted his chest and said, "Since you are a student of my father's good friend Seje Paladin, Wizard Roja, we will not treat you badly."

"If you need our help in the Kingdom of Star Towers, just ask, and we will try our best to satisfy you."

After getting the guarantee from King Rand, Roja was also not polite.

"I need you to give me reference to all the meteorite tempering methods in Star Tower Kingdom." Roja said.

"This..." King Rand frowned in embarrassment, "Our country of star towers is a country built on mineral veins, and meteorites, ores that contain the power of stars, are the most precious and rare among all ores."

"The meteorite that has just been dug out contains many impurities, and the meteorite must be forged and tempered by a stone forger using special techniques."

"You must know that the stone forger who can forge star meteorites is the highest-level and most respected stone forger in our star tower country, and is known as the star forger."

"Even if I am a king, I have to be respectful and respectful when facing a star forger."

King Rand sighed, "If I want them to hand over the method of tempering the meteorite that they regard as life, even if I am the king, it will not be so easy to do it."

Roja drank the special tea from Star Tower Kingdom and listened to King Rand's words silently.

To be honest, Roja wanted to laugh.

He could see deep confidence and... disdain from the depths of King Rand's eyes?
King Rand actually looked down on him?
Ever since he entered the Kingdom of the Star Tower, what King Rand has done seems to be deliberately provoking him?
After King Rand finished speaking, Roja put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I'm not asking you, but ordering you."

"Wizard Roja, I didn't hear what you were talking about." King Rand stared at Roja with squinted eyes, and said in a dangerous tone.

The soldiers and ministers in the hall all looked at Roja with the eyes of the enemy. If Roja's answer is not satisfactory to them, they will definitely rush to catch Roja and put him in prison. .

Suddenly, because of Roja's words, the entire hall became extremely silent, and a heavy atmosphere filled the air.

Roja didn't seem to notice the change in the atmosphere.

He looked directly at King Rand, and said in a serious tone that he was worried that King Rand would not be able to hear clearly: "Within three days, send all the meteorite tempering methods in the Kingdom of Star Tower to me."

The last trace of a smile on King Rand's face disappeared completely.

King Rand stared at Roja with a gloomy expression, and said in a deep voice: "Wizard Roja, I think you are a student of the emperor's friend Sejie Paladin, so I have always treated you with courtesy. But don't..."

Boom!
King Rand clapped his hands hard on the table, "Don't go too far!"

brush!Swish!Swish! ——

The soldiers in the hall suddenly pointed their spears at Roja, and the star meteorite inlaid on the spears emitted a dazzling light, and they were ready to kill Roja without hesitation as long as King Rand gave an order. .

Facing King Rand and the others who showed killing intent towards him because of his words, Roja's expression didn't fluctuate at all.

"It's a pity. Originally, as long as you can complete the tasks I assigned, I can ignore your rudeness to me." Roja regretted.

As a third-class apprentice, Roja is still a limit-breaking apprentice who has the power to fight against a first-class wizard. When he was in the land of the Six Kingdoms, where would he not be treated respectfully?

Even a first-level wizard dared not be so rude to him.

It can be said that since he passed the wizard trial and became a wizard apprentice, he has not been treated like King Rand.

In the past, Roja was already full of anger when facing this kind of thing, and used violence to make King Rand and others understand who is the real master!
But since Roja went home and stayed in his hometown Nange Town for half a year, his mentality has undergone a great change.

In his hometown, everyone worshiped him as a god. When they saw him from a distance, they would kneel down and kowtow, and stood up unwillingly until they could no longer see his figure.

Even his biological father, Derry, couldn't help bending his knees every time he met him.

If he hadn't tried to stop him many times, his father Derry would definitely bow down to him like everyone else every time he met.

During the six months in his hometown Nange Town, he woke up.

Is the respect of others really that important?
Does he really care that much about what other people think of him?
Why did he work so hard to become stronger?Just to enjoy the pleasure of others worshiping him as a god?

Maybe many people become stronger just to enjoy this, but Roja is absolutely not!

He wanted to become stronger in order to be able to live freely without any constraints.

He worked hard to become a wizard in order not to grow old and die due to the passage of time.

He is in order to explore the vastness of the stars, solve unknown puzzles, and grasp all the truths, so he will continue to learn.

respect from others?
The worship of others?
Become a god in the eyes of others?
It means nothing to him!

Therefore, Roja doesn't care about the rudeness of the people in the Star Tower Kingdom.

Therefore, regarding King Rand's indifference, Roja was not angry at all.

Roja has always kept in mind his purpose of coming to the Xingyun Ancient Mine.

Gather the power of the gods!

Pass the second trial of the domain master of the magic machine!

As long as the people from the Star Tower Kingdom are willing to cooperate with him and not affect his achievement of his goals, Roja doesn't care what they think or how rude their behavior is to him.

"I just need benefits!"

"You are all my tools to accomplish my goals!"

"I don't care what you think or say, as long as you can help me and give me what I need."

Roja shook his hands hard, "But you take my ignorance of you as my weakness and concession."

Roja looked at everyone present.

From those people's eyes, he saw anger, anger, fear... and other emotions, as well as a faint trace of fear.

"You know I'm a wizard."

"You have heard legends about wizards."

"Why do you still dare to disobey my order? How dare you show your fangs to me?"

"Is it because the distance is too far away, and I don't believe in the legend of wizards?"

"Or is it because I think I'm special? Is it a particularly weak one among wizards, one who can be manipulated by you?"

"Whatever the reason, I don't intend to get into it."

"There's only one thing I need to do..."

Roja stood up, his not tall body actually gave people a majesty like a mountain.

A second ago, Roja was like a passer-by who had no sense of existence, but the aura he exuded in an instant was like a terrifying monster with a height of one thousand meters!
