dark witches rise

Chapter 273 The gray wizard visits, the truth about the magic

rainy night.

The light rain was pattering down.

The open windows of the study creaked under the moist evening wind.

on the desktop.

The oil lamp burns quietly.

The candle flame flickered in the wind.

The room flickered with the flickering of the candle.

"Shhhh-"

Roja sat on the table and straightened the book, and the papers full of things were piled up one after another, forming a hill taller than a person.

After finishing writing on the paper, Roja began to bind the paper, and one thick book after another took shape in his hands.

When he was in his hometown, he spent most of his time cultivating, leaving one or two days a month to deal with the development of the territory, and occasionally writing some books in his spare time.

He has written a wide variety of books.

Some are related to the structure of the human body, introducing the functions of various organs.

There are instructions on how to plant, what plants to plant in what season, how to germinate, how to sow, and how to cultivate.

There are training-related tips, tips for practicing knight swordsmanship, quick methods for knight martial arts, and precautions when practicing.

Roja writes books whenever he has time.

He regards writing books as leisure and entertainment.

Watching the thick books take shape and the bookshelves in the study being filled up, he felt a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.

Sometimes Roja even thinks that it is pretty good to live like this for the rest of his life, why should he take all kinds of risks for the sake of strength?

He just wants to live freely, but unfortunately there are too many things that hinder him in this world.

If you want to live freely and happily all your life, you can’t have relatives and friends killed by robbers, family members get sick but can’t be treated, natural disasters can only wait for death, want to eat seafood but can’t eat it, want to live in high-rise buildings but can’t, want to I want a beautiful woman to accompany me, but I can only hide under the covers by looking at pictures of beautiful women. I haven't lived enough and the end of my lifespan has come...

These unhappy things, right?
"It's such a simple wish to live freely and happily, but it's really difficult to realize it."

Roja got up and went to the window.

When he opened the window, the moist evening wind rushed towards his face, covering his face with mist.

It's ice-cold and feels quite comfortable.

Roja watched the city shrouded in rain through the window. The noisy city during the day is now so silent and illusory, as if it is another world.

Occasionally, pedestrians walking quickly on the rainy night road make the already quiet and dreamy city even more quiet and dreamy, just like a picture scroll of old times.

Roja held his breath, unwilling to disturb the tranquility.

Standing and standing, Roja raised his eyebrows slightly.

He felt that someone was greeting him. It was someone standing on the edge of the Nange family's territory, tens of kilometers away from Nange Castle.

That person didn't even dare to enter his territory without his permission.

Roja squinted his eyes, as if the distance of tens of kilometers did not exist, his eyes, which were more powerful than astronomical telescopes, saw the comer at once.

At the border of the Nange family's territory, there was a wizard wearing a gray robe, with smooth skin without any pores, no nose, ears, eyes and other features on his face, only two black hole eye sockets without pupils.

If someone accidentally saw this weird appearance on a rainy night, they would definitely be shocked, thinking they encountered a ghost, right?
Noticing Roja's gaze, the gray-robed wizard raised his head and looked at Roja with empty eye sockets.

Although he only met once, Roja remembered this person——the gray-robed wizard he met in the tree spirit medicine cage back then!
This gray-robed wizard who has only met him once, is there anything he wants to do?
Could it be that……

Roja touched his blue eyes reflexively.

That gray-robed wizard back then said he wanted his eyes?

But it's not what it used to be.

If the other party attacked directly back then, he might have really become blind, but now...

If the other party really intends to ask for his eyes this trip, so what if they give him a pair?

Roja is a person who likes to keep his promises. He doesn't want to lie to others if he can do it, and he doesn't want to owe others favors.

He did get some benefits from that gray wizard back then.

Eyes, as long as he wants to grow a lot of them in minutes.

After thinking about it, Roja nodded slightly, indicating that the other party could come in.

After getting Roja's consent, the gray-robed wizard breathed a sigh of relief before he dared to step into Roja's territory.

……

in the library.

The kettle gurgled under the heat of the stove.

Roja poured a cup of black tea made by himself for the visiting gray-robed wizard, and the fragrance of the tea filled the study.

Roja held the steaming teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Friend, what should I call you?"

The gray-robed wizard put down his teacup and replied, "Botha Luolan."

Roja's hand holding the teacup froze slightly, and then returned to normal.

Luo Lan, also known as Emperor Luo Lan, united the land of the six kingdoms 1 years ago to establish the Holy Luo Lan Empire. After the death of Emperor Luo Lan, the Holy Luo Lan Empire was fragmented and disintegrated into countries.

Now there are two countries that consider themselves to be the orthodox of the Holy Luolan Empire, one is the Shenglan Kingdom where Roja is located, and the other is the Shenluo Empire, the old enemy of the Shenglan Kingdom.

From the name of the gray-robed wizard Bosa Luolan, it is not difficult to see his origin.

"Wizard Bursa, I haven't seen you for 40 years. You have improved a lot." Roja laughed.

40 years ago, when Roja was still a second-class apprentice, he met Bosa for the first time in the tree essence cultivation medicine cage. At that time, the Bosa wizard was far stronger than him, and he was a third-class apprentice at the peak. wizard.

And now, Wizard Bursa is already a first-level wizard.

"Haha, what is my little success compared to you, Lord Roja?" Wizard Bosa stared at Roja's empty eye sockets as if he saw the immature boy 40 years ago.

He was optimistic about that young man who was a bit talented, but he didn't feel that he could threaten him.

Then he was wrong!
Over the years, every news about Roja has shocked him.

He was even more in awe, and the reason why he had to add the word "adult" when addressing Roja was the battle with the Son of the Abyss in the Goo Empire a year ago.

Even though they did not participate in that battle, they have been paying attention.

They don't know exactly what happened inside the Abyss Temple, and they don't know how Roja defeated Abyss, but they at least know that the Son of Abyss was defeated by Roja!

Even Fernanda, the guardian of the Ash Volcano, a student of the third-level wizard Cattolico, couldn't beat the son of the abyss who could only flee in a hurry, but was defeated by Roja?

Don't look at them not listening to Fernanda's command. When facing Fernanda's invitation to deal with the children of the abyss together, they refused without face.

They recognized Fernanda's strength very much.

Fernanda is definitely a genius whose talent and strength are far above them. It is only inevitable to become a second-level wizard, and there is a high probability of stepping into the third-level genius in the future.

However, Roja will be even more genius!
Simply unimaginable!
Even if Roja once toughened the Muhua wizard in the third-class apprentice realm, won the title of the limit-breaking apprentice, and later successfully escaped under the siege of two official wizards, Prima wizard and Ermi wizard, even if he has achieved various in the apprentice realm. Miraculous Roja, they didn't think Roja would be Fernanda's opponent.

However, the fact is that Roja is stronger than Fernanda!
At least now Roja is stronger!
Roja has only been an official wizard for less than 20 years!
Looking at Roja, who was only in his 60s, Wizard Bursa felt that he had lived so long, that it was a waste of time.

He became a first-level wizard much earlier than Roja, but now he needs five or sixty years to complete his second transformation, but Roja reached the peak of the first-level in less than 60 years, and began to work for him. Ready to advance to the second level.

It's really maddening to compare people to people.

Why is there such a big gap between people?
It's not that he hasn't seen a genius, and he hasn't heard of a genius' deeds. The reason why he feels so much emotion towards Roja is because Roja is a native of the Shenglan Kingdom.

They see every deed, every encounter, every step taken, and every decision made about Roja.

More importantly--

Wizard Bursa stared at Roja's beautiful blue eyes. In a sense, Roja came from the same place and had the same ancestors as him, and Roja's blood was much purer than most of the royal family members. .

After drinking a few cups of tea, Wizard Bursa explained the purpose of his visit, "Master Roja, after you became an official wizard, we haven't congratulated you properly because of many things. You have a party, are you interested in coming?"

get together?

A meeting among first-level wizards?

Roja didn't answer immediately, "Who are there?"

Wizard Bosa replied: "They are all our own people from the Azure Crystal Star."

Roja didn't think about it for long, and nodded in agreement.

He really needs to see those people.

Those official wizards who control the land of the Six Kingdoms!

……

In the wizard tower built by the third-level wizard Luo Lan.

Stars floated on the ceiling.

In the Milky Way that traverses the universe, stars shine one after another, looking like a real starry sky.

In the vast space, beside a huge round table with a diameter of a thousand meters, sat nine official wizards exuding a powerful coercion.

Nine layers of heavy coercion were superimposed, and the great knight would die suddenly, and the wizard and apprentice would have difficulty breathing.

These pressures were not released by the wizards on their own initiative, but were released naturally after they reached this level.

The reason why I don’t have it when I usually communicate with people is because I deliberately suppress it.

Since the people present are all official wizards, here is the wizard tower, so there is no need to worry about innocent lives being affected, and naturally there is no need to waste time and effort to suppress their own coercion.

After everyone introduces themselves.

Everyone quietly looked at the people present, especially Roja.

Including Roja, there were nine official wizards in this gathering. All the wizards present came from the two countries of Shenglan Kingdom and Shenluo Empire.

When it was announced to the outside world, the Shenglan Kingdom had only two official wizards except the Mandolin wizard, and the Shenluo Empire had only three first-level wizards, including a new official wizard in the past ten years.

So from the outside, there should be only five official wizards in the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shenluo Empire combined, but there are actually eight in total!

The three extra people are gray wizards in gray robes!

Even the two small countries in the Land of the Six Kingdoms hide so many powerful people behind the scenes, what about other places?
The first, second, and third-level wizards in Shenwa Wuyu may be much more than what appears on the surface, very many.

Today's meeting, people who don't know the truth must be very confused after seeing it, right?

What is puzzling is not only why there are eight official wizards in the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shenluo Empire, but why there are still three gray-robed wizards, and more importantly——

The controllers of the two countries that were supposed to be old enemies actually gathered together in harmony, with no intention of hostility at all.

In fact, the upper echelons of the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shenluo Empire are not hostile at all. The so-called rival setting is only used by the upper echelons to fool the lower-level people, start wars and do other things for fun.

The real high-level members of the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shenluo Empire, especially the official wizards, are definitely a family!

Eight pairs of eyes and sixteen lines of sight fell on Roja, looking at Roja, a supernova who has risen in recent decades.

After Roja looked at every wizard present, and the other wizards present also looked at Roja carefully, they began to enter the formal topic of this meeting.

"Sorcerer Roja, do you know about the Day of Demon Accumulation?" asked Rebrand, the oldest and strongest wizard besides Roja, stroking his beard.

"Know a little bit." Roja nodded.

"Oh? Tell me." Wizard Rebrand said.

"The Demon Spirit Continent where we are is transformed from the corpses of demon gods, that is to say, the soil and sand under our feet were once part of the bodies of demon gods, so some wizards wonder if it is possible to bring the bodies of these demon gods back to life ? Ordinary soil and sand turned back into the flesh and blood of the demon god?..."

Roja slowly revealed his knowledge about the Day of Demon Accumulation.

It is not easy to bring the body of the dead Demon God back to life.

First, there is the issue of location.

Although the ordinary sand, gravel and soil in the Demon Spirit Continent are formed by dead demon gods, how stupid would you be to think that you can breed the flesh and blood of demon gods in any random place?
There are very few places that can hold magic-containing ceremonies. The entire Shenwa witch domain is 600 billion square kilometers, and the number does not exceed the number of hands. Unfortunately, the land of the Six Kingdoms is a suitable place for holding magic-containing ceremonies.

After choosing a place and arranging the ritual of accumulating magic, there is a long wait.

Let the people who live on this land suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death naturally, return their body and spirit to this land, and become the nourishment for breeding the blood embryo of the demon god.

If you just need nourishment, there are many ways.

As long as an order is placed with the green-robed wizard, the magic stone will be in place, and the assembly line will produce hundreds of billions of people in minutes.

But that won't work.

Because the created human soul has no sense of belonging to this land, will not return to the earth after death, and will not become the nourishment of the blood embryo of the demon god.

The soul is a mysterious thing. Even a seventh-level wizard cannot directly observe the existence of the soul, but can infer the existence of the soul through various natural phenomena caused by the interference of the soul.

Just like a black hole.

No one has ever seen a black hole with the naked eye.

No device has ever taken a picture of a black hole.

But people still think that black holes exist, all of which are reasonable speculations based on the changes caused by black holes.

Although even a seventh-level wizard cannot directly observe the soul, it is possible to deduce the nature of the soul and use the power of the soul indirectly through speculation.

To make the devil's blood embryo requires the power of the soul beyond the material world. Regarding the whereabouts of the power of the soul and how to make the power of the soul move according to one's own ideas, people can only give indirect guidance and cannot directly interfere.

In the end, the wizards came to a conclusion that letting people live, die, die, grow old, and die on the land where the magic-containing ceremony is held is the best way to obtain the power of the soul to cultivate the blood embryo of the demon god.

In the end, after a long period of cultivation, maybe thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands of years, the blood embryo of the devil god finally took shape.

After the blood embryo of the demon god is formed, the enchantment of witch spirits created based on the ritual of accumulating demons will be completely shattered.

After the witch spirit barrier is completely broken, the people on the land of the Six Kingdoms will be completely exposed to the high-concentration magic radiation environment.

If there is no way to improve the magic resistance of the people of the Six Kingdoms in advance to adapt to the high magic radiation environment, 90.00% of the people will die by then.

Those who were lucky enough to get the magic resistance and successfully survived this difficulty had to escape the aftermath of the battle if they wanted to survive.

The devil's blood embryo is an extremely rare treasure for third- and fourth-level wizards.

Especially the third-level wizards can help them greatly increase the probability of breaking through the fourth-level realm.

When the day of accumulating demons comes and the blood embryo of the demon god matures, there will definitely be a big fight between the third-level and fourth-level wizards in the land of the six kingdoms.

Level [-] wizards can move at supersonic speeds.

In a battle between first-level wizards, even without using any magic power release skills, pure melee physical combat, just the aftermath of the supersonic movement of the body is enough to destroy a city.

Like when Roja was dealing with the Son of the Abyss incident, the aftermath of the battle was enough to kill weaker beings in a radius of hundreds of kilometers—for official wizards, the Great Knight is also considered a weak life.

If there were no living people in the Goo Empire before the war, the aftermath of that war could have killed tens of thousands of people.

The first-level wizards are so powerful, and the second-level wizards are even more terrifying.

Raising a second-level wizard's hand is as powerful as a nuclear bomb, and can easily create a deep pit with a diameter of several hundred meters on the ground.

The battle between two second-level wizards has no problem destroying a province of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers-in fact, the area of ​​many countries is not as large as hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

As for the third-level wizard?

It is a qualitative change from a wizard apprentice to a first-level wizard.

Another qualitative change from a second-level wizard to a third-level wizard.

With the strength of a third-level wizard, if he releases his big move, the attack is enough to cover a province of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers!
If those third-level and fourth-level wizards were careful not to damage the environment when fighting for the blood embryo of the demon god, it would be possible to control the destructive power within an area of ​​several million square kilometers.

But why?

Why do people want to control strength?

Why do people want to protect the environment?

They are not wizards from the Land of the Six Kingdoms. Does destroying the Land of the Six Kingdoms affect them?

Therefore, when the day of accumulating demons comes, it will be the day of the destruction of the land of the six kingdoms. This conclusion is definitely not alarmist!

There are only a few decades left before the day of accumulating demons, and all the forces in the land of the Six Kingdoms are preparing for the day of accumulating demons.

If you want to have the power to protect yourself on the day of accumulating demons, or even participate in the competition for the blood embryo of the demon god, it is best to have the strength of the third level.

So the only second-level wizard in the Land of the Six Kingdoms, the Taluv wizard from the Snuman Prairie Empire, held a third-level wizard promotion ceremony with the sponsorship of the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shenluo Empire.

The chosen location is the Goo Empire, where there are no official wizards.

As a result, wizard Taluf failed to advance and died, and the Guoao Empire perished. The Snuman Prairie Empire suffered heavy casualties under the deliberate targeting of Zochi, the son of the abyss, and almost wiped out the country.

As for the Shenglan Kingdom and the Shenluo Empire, although they failed to invest in Wizard Taluf, they did not count on Wizard Taluf in the first place. They had their own way out, which was to return to their hometown ten thousand years ago, the Azure Crystal Star.

The Haibang Empire, the country of the sea, has already contacted the red wizard of the Giant Whale Sea Territory, and is ready to become the vanguard of the Red Wizard of the Giant Whale Sea Territory to occupy the land of the Six Kingdoms. You must know that the Giant Whale Sea Territory is a huge wizard no less than the Shenwa Wizard Territory power!
The last forest country, the Tallinn Empire... Because the secrecy work was done so well, Roja really didn't know how they planned to survive the day of demon accumulation, but they must have made complete preparations.
