dark witches rise

Chapter 63 Departure, Ten Thousand Devils Cave
In the following days, Roja practiced penance every day as usual, as if nothing had happened.

It's just that there was a grudge between him and Governor Craigie after all.

To be precise, Governor Craigie took the initiative to alienate Roja.

In the past, Governor Craigie would have a heart-to-heart talk with Roja every few days, and each time he laughed.

But now they don't necessarily see each other once a month, and every time they meet, they are always smiling and indifferent.

But for Roja, there is no difference.

No matter what happens, he will not change.

He still practiced hard day and night, and he still used the green stock solution on time.

As time passed, his magic resistance became stronger, and of course the toxins accumulated in his body also increased.

At the back, even his face was covered with ominous bluish-black lines.

In addition to the enhancement of magic resistance, Roja's "Qingyuan Health Preservation Method" and "Guan Shen Jue" have made different progress.

After using many medicines and medicines that are beneficial to strengthen internal organs to assist in cultivation, Roja's Qingyuan health regimen has reached the sixth level, and now it only takes three months to get rid of the toxins in a bottle of Qingyuan liquid.

And as he continued to practice the art of observing the gods, his brain became more and more powerful.

When he exercises his brain to a certain extent, in addition to improving his memory, concentration and sixth sense, he also has the ability to read other people's brain waves.

He can perceive other people's brain waves, and perceive other people's thoughts by analyzing the brain waves.

However, his mind-reading skills are still very low-level. He can only read the other person's mood, know whether the other person is happy or sad, angry or scared, and cannot read the specific thoughts in the other person's heart.

However, Roja believes that as he continues to practice the God Contemplation Art, his brain will continue to grow stronger, and one day he will be able to completely read the mind of others.

The days passed by.

Unknowingly, Roja has been in Haine Port for more than a year.

The long-awaited day finally arrived.

Led by Governor Craigie, Roja and Ron came to the bank of the Ronnie River, wearing unadorned dark wizard robes and carrying a witchcraft oil lamp.

Snowflakes fall.

The cold wind hits.

The breath turned into white mist and dispersed.

In the cold winter morning, the surroundings were so quiet, as if there were only the three of them in the whole world.

Governor Craigie looks out across the river.

In the cold winter, the ice crystals on the surface of the river are shining.

"The next step is to go to the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest for the final wizard trial. I hope to see you come back alive in three years."

"Go."

Governor Craigie's tone was so weak.

He didn't need to wait three years before he could already see the end.

Another doomed failure.

Why did Leif and Brand whom he was optimistic about die?

In the end, it turned out that Roja and Long En, two bastards who didn't look like a wizard at all, went to the Ten Thousand Devils' Nest to accept the final trial?

"Ugh."

Governor Craigie sighed, his already gray beard became even more gray.

Roja and Long on the side pretended not to notice Governor Craigie's thoughts.

Roja and Ron, who were ready, looked at each other and poured their vitality and spiritual power into the witchcraft oil lamp.

The witchcraft oil lamp, fueled by vitality and spiritual power, ignited a dim blue light with the movements of Roja and Long En.

The moment the witchcraft oil lamp was lit, the fog suddenly grew thicker.

A cold white mist emerged out of thin air, and in just a few breaths, the whole world was shrouded in mist.

In the world of mist, all the sounds are gradually far away.

Ron, who was standing less than one meter away from Roja, had completely disappeared at this time.

It's not as simple as being covered in fog so it can't be seen.

The whole person completely disappeared!

Roja felt as if he had come to a world with only mist, and he was the only one standing alone in this world.

In the silent world without any sound or creatures, Roja couldn't help but clenched the witchcraft oil lamp in his hand.

Once the witchcraft oil lamp is extinguished, he will be lost in this misty world forever.

wow-

The sound of water splitting came from the depths of the mist.

The witchcraft oil lamp burning with a faint blue light in Roja's hand is like a lighthouse on the coast, naming the way for a certain existence deep in the fog.

While Roja waited nervously and anxiously, a small boat sailed out from the depths of the fog and stopped in front of Roja.

Roja looked at the boatman rowing the boat.

It was an old man who was as thin as a skeleton, staring at Roja with empty eyes, without feeling any breath of life.

Is it alive?
Or a puppet?
After staring at it for a while, Roja took a deep breath, carried the witchcraft oil lamp and walked onto the boat, and came to the bow to stand firm.

"Crash-"

The boatman slid his oars, and the boat moved slowly toward the depths of the mist.

The fog is so thick that you can't see your fingers around you.

The bone-piercing cold wind kept hitting.

The faint blue flame in the witchcraft oil lamp kept swaying in the cold wind.

Roja, who only wore a wizard black robe, felt that his body was going to be frozen inside and out.

In this silent misty world, only the clacking of oars echoed in my ears, and only the witchcraft oil lamp in my hand provided the only light source.

When Roja was thinking about when he would arrive at his destination.

The fog gradually dissipated.

Roja vaguely saw a little blue light in the distance.

"Is it someone else who participated in the wizard's trial?"

When the fog completely dispersed, Roja found that the sky had completely darkened.

He was sailing in a small boat in a vast sea with no end in sight.

There was no light in the pitch-black sky, only an ominous aura that was darker than the darkness was constantly surging.

Looking towards the surface of the sea, the deep seabed seems to be connected to the abyss, which makes people feel frightened.

Roja looked around, and could vaguely see small boats with faint blue lights shining on their bows.

Those boats seemed not far away from him, but they gave people an untouchable distance as if they were separated by a world.

Roja retracted his gaze and focused on the witchcraft oil lamp.

slam-la-

The oars are constantly paddling on the sea surface, making waves.

Little stars float in the sea.

The starlight gradually increased and turned into billions of light spots in a short time, as if there was a galaxy in the sea, which looked extremely gorgeous.

Starlight flows in the sea like ocean currents.

The boat paddled along the sea, gathering with the stars.

At first, Roja thought that those stars were creatures that would glow in the sea.

When he got close and could observe the source of the starlight, Roja's eyes widened.

Those light spots that look like starlight are not starlight at all, but candlelight from candles.

Burning candles are floating in the sea, flowing with the current, like a river of stars.

Roja stared at the candles.

He realized that these were not ordinary candles.

Sure enough, as he focused, he saw a silhouette beneath the surface of the water.

That's human!
Men, women, old, young... people dressed in ancient costumes lay solemnly in the sea with closed eyes, holding burning candles in their hands and praying on their chests.

These people from the ancient era, holding candles in the unknown sea forever drifting, do not know when it will end.

Is it dead souls?

Is it a resentful soul sealed in the sea?

Or was it made into a sacrifice by an evil and powerful wizard for some unknown purpose?
Looking at the figures rising and falling with the sea, Roja didn't know why his vision became more and more blurred, as if his eyes had been dripped with eye drops.

After he couldn't take it anymore, he blinked his eyes.

All the figures disappeared, and there were only candles emitting warm light in the sea.

"Is it an illusion?"

Roja didn't know, but he didn't plan to delve into it.

He just hid this doubt in the deepest part of his heart, and then looked into the distance as if he hadn't seen anything.

The boat is advancing in the sea along with the star river formed by the candlelight.

I don't know how long has passed.

A towering pitch-black mountain appeared in front of Roja's eyes.

Since this mountain is made of black unknown stones, and there is no light source around it, Roja didn't notice this mountain standing in the middle of the sea until it was only a few hundred meters away from the mountain.

The boat swayed and shook, and stopped at the port at the foot of the mountain.

The destination has arrived.
