dark witches rise

Chapter 48 The Background of the Nange Family

Nange Town.

In a newly built wooden castle.

Roja stood by the window of the study, looking into the distance.

The wind howled outside the window, rustling the branches.

The wind that rolled the fallen leaves blew on Roja head-on, making his short black eyebrow-length hair, which had been meticulously combed by the maid, messy.

Roja's white hands pressed against the edge of the window, and his royal blue pupils stared at his family's territory.

Looking at it, his thoughts could not help but drift back to three years ago.

He reached out to pick up a dead leaf caught in his hair, and looked at the dead leaf in his hand with a complicated expression.

"Before I knew it, it had been three years."

Three years ago, he was just a quasi-knight worrying about advancing to a formal knight.

Now he has practiced the War Elephant Art to the ninth level, and opened one hundred and eight human body secrets.

With the strength of 1000 kilograms of the main body, plus the strength of [-] kilograms increased by life attachment, he has a full strength of [-] kilograms under normal conditions.

It is twice the peak of ordinary great knights!
Moreover, his Heavy Breaking Slash and Shadow Thorn have both been cultivated to the level of a Grand Master.

With a Heavy Breaking Slash, it can instantly burst out with seven times the terrifying power of the body.

Using the shadow thorn, the attack speed can be tripled in an instant.

"Among the great knights, I am invincible!"

Roja closed his eyes, and in the pitch-black field of vision, nineteen vaguely real meditation runes floated.

"It will take another two years to meet the minimum requirements to open up a mental space."

"But enough is enough."

"It's time to embark on the path of seeking the wizard."

Behind Roja.

The door creaked open, and a dark-skinned, overweight middle-aged man walked in.

In the past two years, Delhi has been busy building the territory.

He is much darker and thinner, but he is tired and happy.

After Derry entered the room, he looked at Roja who was standing by the window with his back turned to him.

The gust of wind poured in from the window, blowing the hem of Roja's clothes rattling.

It feels so far away.

Derry felt that with the passage of time, the gap between him and his son Roja was getting bigger and bigger. He couldn't understand Roja more and more, and couldn't understand Roja's inner thoughts.

At this time, his son was standing in front of him, but he felt that he was far away in the sky.

It seemed that what he was looking at was not the back of his son, but the phantom left by a certain god in the world.

Derry, who was afraid that if he opened his mouth to break the tranquility, the phantom would disappear like a dream, stood nervously, not even daring to breathe hard.

It's been a long time.

Roja recovered from the memories.

He looked back at his stiff-faced father, and said with a smile, "Don't stand there? Sit down quickly."

After Roja took his seat, Derry quickly followed suit.

Roja pushed the three thick books placed on the table in front of Derry, "These are the three books I have sorted out in recent years."

"Oh?"

Roja specially called him to the study, just to give him these three books.

These three books must be extremely important.

Derry didn't dare to neglect, and immediately looked carefully at the covers of the books. The titles of these books were written on the cover, ""Suiyilu"? "Materia Medica Talk"? "Ten Prescriptions"?"

Derry frowned, he had never heard the names of these three books.

Roja explained:
"In Nange Town, a remote place rich in medicinal materials, if our Nange family wants to prosper, we can only follow the path of the Yao family."

"These three books are summarized and recorded by myself."

"The medical record records the treatment methods for some difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

"The Herbal Talk is an explanation of the planting, identification and efficacy of various medicinal materials."

"Ten prescriptions are ten common medicines that I have selected and optimized and improved. The difficulty of refining is greatly reduced when the efficacy of the medicine is not reduced or even better."

Roja leaned back on the chair and crossed his fingers on his chest. "These three books are the foundation of the prosperity of our Nange family. Father, you must hide them well."

These three books are definitely medical works comparable to "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". If they are released, they will definitely cause a huge sensation in the whole world and save countless people from suffering.

Out of selfishness, Roja kept these three books in the Nange family.

Derry apparently did not realize the importance of these three books at this time.

Sensing the hidden meaning behind Roja's words, he asked, "Son, are you leaving?"

"Well, let's go tomorrow."

"Well, I already knew that you would not stay in Nange Town at ease and be a Baron for the rest of your life."

Derry looked a little sad, "Let's go, when will you come back?"

Roja looked up at the ceiling, his eyes blank, "I don't know, but if I can come back alive..."

Roja smiled slightly at Derry who didn't know why, "You will definitely be able to climb the peak again!"

……

early morning.

The sky in the Far East is brilliant.

In front of Nange Castle, Roja's family gathered together.

Father Derry, stepmother Sirin, younger brother Rick and younger sister Lily, and Derry's three new mistresses, and their two illegitimate children who are still toddlers.

There is also Captain Lei Lun's family who are also teachers and friends with Roja.

Roja said goodbye to the people who came to say goodbye one by one, and jumped into the carriage.

drive!
The carriage started and drove Roja towards the distance.

Behind them, the people seeing off kept waving until the carriage disappeared into the horizon of the sky, and they went back reluctantly.

……

Da la da la.

The carriage walked slowly on the gravel road.

Roja held the reins in his hand, straddled the holy sword Lionheart and roared, and headed towards the direction of Haine Port.

Hain Port is located in the Boers Province of the Shenglan Kingdom. It is the largest inland port in the Shenglan Kingdom, and it is also the top ten most prosperous metropolis in the Shenglan Kingdom.

It is nearly a thousand kilometers away from the town of Nange in the Silian province where Roja is located.

Roja was in a hurry, but not in a hurry.

He sat in the carriage and headed slowly towards Haine Port.

During the journey of thousands of kilometers, he met many interesting people and things, and learned many local customs and habits.

On the way, I met a robber who jumped out to rob.

On the way, I encountered a powerful monster that devoured an unknown number of passers-by.

Sometimes there will be several days of storms in succession, huddling with other passers-by in a dilapidated abandoned house, shivering by the fire, listening to passers-by telling interesting stories about the past in the storm.

Occasionally passing through dangerous places with weird rumors, Roja suppressed his desire to explore and continued to walk around detours.

In this world where there are no highways, no cement roads, no navigation, and even maps that have not been updated for dozens or hundreds of years.

It took nearly two months for Roja to arrive at a distance of [-] kilometers, and the average daily mileage was less than [-] kilometers.

finally--

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Standing on the high slope and looking at the bustling metropolis in the distance, Roja's heart couldn't help beating violently and rapidly.

Beside Roja, stood an old man wearing a straw hat, and a red-haired girl with capable movements and a heroic look between her brows.

This is Todd and his niece Ulema from Winter Automobile in Winterfell.

A week ago, Roja ran into them who were besieged by bandits. After taking action to deal with the bandits, they knew that their destination was Hayne Port, so they went together.

"Master Roja, we should be able to arrive at Hayne Port before dark." The old man Todd said while stroking his beard and squinting his eyes.

"When you arrive at Hain Port, do you want to visit our chamber of commerce?" Ulema stood beside Roja, vaguely touching Roja's arm.

"No, I have more important things." Roja refused without any hesitation.

After Roja left, Todd patted the disappointed Ulema and let out a long sigh.
