dark witches rise

Chapter 4 Captain Ray Lun
Roja and Butler Polly waited while chatting.

"Tick...tick..."

With the slow swing of the pendulum, the time has come to noon before you know it.

crunch--

The door of the conference room opened.

Pharmacist Paul, Pharmacist Nico, Captain Borg and others came out one by one with serious expressions on their faces.

Roja waited at the door for a long time, but still did not see his father Derry come out.

knock knock.

After knocking lightly on the concealed door, he didn't get a response, he pushed the door open and walked into the conference room.

All the curtains in the meeting room were drawn, making the whole room look extremely dark.

In the dark and silent room, Derry sat blankly on the chair in the center, staring at the wall behind the conference room with rapt eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

On the wall behind the meeting room, there is a huge mural that covers the entire wall.

The mural depicts a doe coming out of the snow with a herb in its mouth.

Roja stood beside his father Derry and looked towards the mural.

But all he looked at was the herb in the mouth of the doe.

Because the doe is the coat of arms of the Kettery family, the herbs the doe gnawed on were added after his father Derry got married.

"Roja, do you still hate me?" Derry asked suddenly.

hatred?
Roja shook his head.

"I don't hate you, nor Aunt Sirin, I just...don't like the surname Kaitri." Roja said softly.

Ten years ago.

Less than half a year after the death of Roja's biological mother, his father Derry joined the Kaiteri family.

Ever since, Derry, who was born as a commoner and didn't even have a surname, has the surname Kateri.

If it weren't for marrying Sirin Kettery, the last widow of the Kaitery Knight Family, she would have received a lot of money, connections, and power assistance.

No matter how business-minded Delhi is, it is impossible to develop a small herbal medicine store into Kaili Medicine Store, one of the three major medicine stores in Silla Town, in just ten years.

Roja, who was only eight years old at that time, did not understand the actions of his father Derry at all.

He even thought that his father deliberately killed his mother in order to marry Celine Kettery.

Since then, he has been obsessed with cultivation and alienated from his father.

As for his stepmother, Celine Kettery, and his two half-brothers and sisters, he never took the initiative to speak.

It's just that when Roja grew up, especially after awakening his memory, he matured a lot and gradually understood his father's choice back then.

How many people in the world can refuse to marry into a knightly family and have a noble surname?
In particular, only Sirin Kaiteri is left in the Kaiteri knight family.

At that time, I don't know how many people stepped through the threshold and wanted to join the Kaiteri family.

Deli, a middle-aged man who is married and has a son, was able to marry successfully, which is definitely a great luck.

Understandable to understand.

In any case, Roja couldn't accept Kaitli's surname from his stepmother.

Not to mention being proud of the last name Kateri.

"Father, I'm going to visit Wizard Barney on Mink Street." Roja said.

"Is your body still not in good shape?" Derry asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, my body has recovered, and this trip is just a final physical examination." Roja replied.

"I really should ask Wizard Barney to take another look." After Derry nodded, he instructed: "The wolf plague has become more and more serious recently. From time to time, lonely wolves break into the town and hurt people."

"Those hunters who came to Silla Town from other places to help hunt wolves, many of them have hot personalities..."

"Now the whole Silla Town is in chaos, you have to be careful when you go out."

"Let's take Milo and Ferrand, be safe."

Derry arranged a carriage for Roja, accompanied by two guards from the Kaiteri family, Milo and Ferrand.

Both were wearing leather armor of the same style, with crossed long swords slung around their waists.

Milo is a tall and thin middle-aged man with disheveled hair and cautious eyes all the time.

Ferrand was much stronger than Miro, and he carried a wine jug around his waist, taking a sip from time to time.

crunch...

The carriage drove Roja out of Keteri Castle and headed towards Mink Street.

Roja lifted the car curtain and looked out the window at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery.

Silla Town, a once peaceful and quiet remote town, is now shrouded in an extremely depressive atmosphere.

Pedestrians looked dignified and hurried on their feet.

Occasionally, you can see people dressed as hunters with bows and arrows and long swords.

Those hunters came in groups of three or four.

Some are planning to go out to hunt wild wolves.

Some were carrying wolves that were still dripping blood on the streets.

There are also hunters who lack arms and legs, and are supported by their partners to the hospital.

"Ow—"

"Ow—"

The howling of wolves from a distance made many people tremble in fear.

……

Soon.

Mink Street is here.

Minke Street is the place where Xinluo Town specializes in buying medicine and seeing a doctor.

There are many medicine shops and medical centers.

Today, due to the wolf disaster, there are many wounded.

The medical hall was full of wounded patients, and the door of the pharmacy was full of people buying medicine.

Because there were too many people and it was too crowded, Roja had to get out of the carriage and walk.

Under the guard of Miro and Ferrand, Roja walked towards the Barney Medical Hall located at the deepest part of Minke Street.

Along the way, the sound of painful wailing was endless.

The strong smell of medicine, the pungent smell of blood, the unpleasant smell of sweat, and the smell of feces and urine from the injured were mixed together, just smelling it made me feel nauseous.

Roja covered his mouth and walked forward with his head down.

However, on Minke Street, which is several hundred meters long, Roja walked for nearly half an hour before arriving in front of the Barney Medical Hall.

Compared with other places, the Barney Medical Hall has fewer injuries and is much quieter.

After Roja ordered the two guards Miro and Ferrand to wait at the door, he stepped into the Barney Medical Hall.

As soon as he entered the medical hall, Roja immediately saw a familiar figure.

A sturdy bearded man in black armor still stained with blood was walking back and forth anxiously in front of a closed door.

Roja walked over quickly.

"Captain Lei Lun, why are you here?"

That bearded man was Lei Lun, the vice-captain of the Silla Town Defense Team.

Lei Lun turned his head suddenly when he heard the voice.

Seeing that it was Roja, his frowning brows relaxed a little.

"Roya, you kid can get out of bed and walk so soon?" Deputy Captain Lei Lun gave Roja a bear hug, "I've been too busy recently, so I haven't been able to spare time to see you, are you okay? "

"It's almost better." Roja looked at the closed door, "Who is inside?"

"It's David, Butch, and Wag. They were attacked by a pack of wolves while patrolling and were seriously injured. Barney's witch doctor is currently undergoing treatment." Lei Lun said in a low voice.

David, Butch, and Wager are all members of the defense team, and Roja knows them all.

David was about the same age as Roja, and because Roja was stronger than David, since Roja joined the defense team, David had been finding fault with him.

Butch is a son-in-law who changes girlfriends every day. Butch, who has a little money at home, is just dawdling in the defense team.

Wagger is a warm-hearted uncle with a calm personality. He chatters about trivial matters every day, and everyone in the defense team detours when they see him.

In the past, Roja probably hated David who was finding fault, couldn't understand Butch's style, and was afraid of Wag's nagging.

But now that they were seriously injured and dying, when he thought of the possible death of these three acquaintances he had known for a long time, his heart beat uncontrollably and sweat continued to appear on his forehead.

"It will be fine, they will definitely not die!"

Roja's words were to comfort Vice Captain Lei Lun, and he was also comforting himself.
