Rise of the Dark Witch

"Yeah——"

Wendy stretched and sat up from the bed.

She habitually looked to the side of the bed, and Roja was nowhere to be seen as usual.

After half a year of getting along with him, she had become accustomed to Roya's behavior.

He often disappears alone and is not seen for ten days and a half.

From time to time, people with mysterious identities, whose faces and names she was not qualified to know, would come to see Luo Ya for medical treatment.

After getting up, Wendy was not in a hurry to change clothes.

She came to the large mirror placed in the room and looked at herself in the mirror carefully.

After half a year of physical conditioning and development, her complexion, skin and figure are obviously much better than before.

If she was just a pretty little beauty before, then now she is undoubtedly a big beauty who makes people look stunning wherever she goes.

But what makes her feel regretful is that Roja's attitude towards her has not changed at all.

Still so cold.

When it comes to her body, she has never taken the initiative or refused.

She offers herself up and won't take no for an answer.

She didn't take the initiative, and she didn't think Roja had any intention in that regard.

"What's the difference between me and the red dragon beauty Lady Xifer?"

"Does Master prefer tall and beautiful women?"

Wendy, who stood in front of the mirror for a while, patted her face hard and said, "It's a new day, come on!"

After washing, she immediately came to her father, who was still lying in a vegetative state.

Seeing her father who was not getting any better or showing any signs of waking up, Wendy let out a long sigh.

She spent an hour helping her father with his body care and feeding him breakfast.

"Father, I will definitely find a way to cure you."

"wait for me!"

Wendy clenched her fists and said seriously.

Under Roja's guidance, in less than half a year, she had become a young witch doctor who was in her own right, and was somewhat famous in Gray Mist City.

Although this is because of her high talent as a witch doctor, Roya's guidance is indispensable.

After saying goodbye to her father, Wendy immediately threw herself into her work as a witch doctor.

Today, Lortai Manor has become a medical clinic, and there is an endless stream of people coming to see the doctor every day.

But for those ordinary patients, Luo Ya still treated them at the beginning.

After becoming famous, Luo Ya took action less and less, and very few people were able to receive Luo Ya's treatment.

The people Luo Ya would treat were either those with a higher status and could afford the money, or powerful, or those with extremely rare diseases.

Even if others begged, Roja would not even look at them.

But just because Roja doesn’t save him doesn’t mean that Wendy won’t.

After a tiring day, Wendy had dinner with her maid Mary in the living room.

"Sister Mary, you don't have to serve me. My status is no higher than yours." Looking at Mary standing next to her, Wendy patted the place next to her and said, "Sit down and let's eat together."

"No, no need, I just stand. I just like standing." Mary waved her hand and refused.

"You'd better sit down. If the master sees it, I'll get scolded again." Wendy forcefully pushed Mary down on the seat.

Mary was a little reserved at first, but gradually, the two started eating while talking and laughing.

Da da da.

While Wendy and the others were enjoying their meal, the doorman entered the hall with hurried steps.

"A patient is here?" Wendy put down the knife and fork in her hand and asked.

"They are from the Giant Elephant Adventure Group. They encountered the Blood-Resident Vine during their adventure. Three of them were parasitized by the Blood-Resident Vine. They are now asking for help outside. Do you want to open the door to let them in?" the guard asked.

"Take them to the medical room. I'll be there in a minute."

After Wendy washed her hands and changed into clean work clothes, she walked quickly towards the ward.

In her mind, the content about the Blood Vine kept popping up.

Although it has the word "vine" in its name, it is actually a parasite with a shape similar to that of a plant.

After parasitizing the human body, it will take root and sprout inside the human body, just like a plant growing from human flesh and blood.

For patients parasitized by Blood Vine, the general treatment method is to cut off the parasitized flesh and blood.

If it is parasitic on the hand, cut off the hand.

If it is parasitic on the feet, cut off the feet.

If it's parasitic on the head, cut off the head.

"Captain, can they still be saved?"

"Uuuu, if it wasn't for saving me, how could the leader be parasitized by the blood vine?"

"Damn it, since when did the Blood Vine grow in the Rotting Snake Bamboo Forest?"

Facing the expectant gazes of the members of the Giant Elephant Adventure Group, Wendy looked at the three parasitized people.

She looked at the first person.

"The right arm was parasitized, but fortunately it didn't spread to the shoulder. I cut off the right hand and took medicine to nurse it back to health in a month or two and there will be no problem."

She looked at the second person.

"There are blood vines on my head, there's no way to save it."

She looked at the third person.

Hodi, the leader of the Mammoth Adventure Group.

"Is the blood vine parasitic on the back? Near the spine..."

Wendy frowned.

Parasitizing the spine is slightly better than parasitizing the head, but generally speaking, there is not much difference between the two, and both are hopeless.

but……

Wendy closed her eyes.

She recalled a patient she once encountered.

That man was also parasitized by the Blood Vine. When he was sent to the doctor, except for his head, the rest of his body was covered by the Blood Vine's vines.

Facing patients who could not be saved at all, Wendy witnessed a miracle happen with her own eyes.

Roja actually cured the other party!

And they say it’s not too difficult!

"My medical skills are different from before. I can give it a try."

After Wendy took some time to deal with the other two patients, she focused all her attention on the third patient, Hody, the leader of the Giant Elephant Adventure Group.

She closed her eyes and quickly made several treatment plans in her mind.

Swish, swish, swish!

After opening her eyes, she quickly inserted dozens of silver needles into Hody's body.

Her face was extremely solemn, and her fingers were gently twirling on the silver needle.

A trace of her spiritual power was injected into the patient's body through the vibrating silver needle. Just like looking inside, the internal scenery of the patient's body emerged in her mind.

The more she looked, the uglier her face became.

Although the patient Hodi's blood vine grows on his back, some roots have become entangled with the spine, and some roots have penetrated into the internal organs.

The general treatment method is to surgically remove the parasitic spine and internal organs.

But without the spine and internal organs, people will die!

"When the master first treated him, he cured the blood-sucking vine without removing the flesh and blood without surgery..."

After Wendy made a simple treatment to Hody so that the blood-letting vine would not continue to spread in a short period of time, she came to the study.

Enter the secret room of the study.

There are not many books in the secret room, less than a hundred.

But these books were all written by Roya.

In addition to the theories and conventional treatment methods of witch doctors, the books here also record the treatment methods of all the patients that Roja met. The treatment methods of the original blood-vine patient are also in these books.

Since there are less than a hundred books, Wendy has already read all the books here.

But reading it once is completely different from understanding the content in the book.

"I remember it should be here."

Wendy opened the book and read the various records on how to treat the blood-letting vine. She felt a headache.

"Is this what Master said was easy?"

She knew that there was a huge difference in medical skills between her and Roya, but the more she studied and improved, the wider the gap between them became.

Originally, she just thought that she would never be able to catch up with this gap, but it was no problem to look up at the figure of Roja standing on the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain.

But as her study progressed, she discovered that the peak where Roya stood was getting higher and higher, so high that she couldn't even see him when she looked up.

"Hody, the leader of the Mammoth Adventure Group, has a milder illness than what is recorded in the book. With my current level, I can give it a try."

"Treat it, it's still possible to cure it."

"If you don't treat it, you will definitely die."

"Then why not give it a try?"

The next day, with the consent of the members of the Mammoth Adventure Group and the leader himself, Wendy began treatment.

It was a very difficult treatment.

There were countless times during which she wanted to give up and seek guidance from Roja.

However, after five days of treatment, with 30% effort, 300% perseverance, 300% strength, and 100% luck, she successfully cured the leader of the Giant Elephant Adventure Group!

"There is no big problem with your body anymore. As long as you go back and recuperate, your strength will not be affected after recovery." Wendy said with a smile.

"Thank you so much!"

"Wendy Witch Doctor, you are my savior!"

"If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to us. We, the Giant Elephant Adventure Group, will never let anyone harm you, Wendy Witch Doctor!"

Facing the members of the Giant Elephant Adventure Group who kept kneeling and thanking her, Wendy felt a little overwhelmed.

Until everyone from the Mammoth Adventure Group left, she felt her head was still a little dizzy.

"Hey, Wendy the witch doctor?"

"My medical skills have improved a lot, and I'm a little closer to treating my father."

"Although I will never be as good as my master for the rest of my life, there is still no problem in becoming a witch doctor far above other witch doctors in Gray Mist City, right?"

"Hey hey hey..."

For a long time, Wendy had a disgusting smile on her face.

Until Roya appeared again.

In the study.

Wendy reported what happened in the days when Roja was away, the patients she met, the problems she didn't understand...etc.

Wendy sat opposite Roja, squirming, glancing at Roja from time to time, and then quickly lowering her head.

"Yes, you have made great progress. It only took half a year to reach this level. Your medical skills may be able to surpass mine in the future." Roya touched Wendy's little head and praised her.

"I-I don't know how. How can I be better than you, master?" Wendy stammered with a red face.

Roja glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Is it already this time?" Roja stood up, stretched, and asked, "I'm going to go to Barrow Witch Doctor, do you want to go with me?"

"Of course I want to go!"

Wendy hurriedly replied as if she was afraid that Roja would regret it.

Before Roja appeared in Gray Mist City, Barrow Witch Doctor was the first witch doctor in Gray Mist City.

However, after Roja demonstrated his extraordinary medical skills several times and cured several patients that even Barrow Witch Doctor could not do anything about, Roja had taken over the throne of Gray Mist City's number one witch doctor from Barrow Witch Doctor.

But Witch Doctor Barrow is not a stingy person.

On the contrary, Barrow Witch Doctor was very happy to see someone whose medical skills were higher than his own.

Luo Ya is often invited to discuss medical skills and...treat some extremely difficult-to-treat diseases that are already fatal in the eyes of ordinary people.

Every time she followed Roya to the residence of Barrow Witch Doctor, Wendy felt that she had gained a lot whether she was listening to Roya discuss medical skills with Barrow Witch Doctor or witnessing Roya's fantastic medical skills with her own eyes.

Sitting in a carriage on the way to the Barrow Witch Doctor's residence.

In the carriage, Wendy carefully looked at Roja's side face.

This face that looks so ordinary is so addictive.

Call!

arrive.

Looking at the Barrow witch doctor who came to greet him in person, Wendy knew that things were not that simple this time.

The Barrow witch doctor pulled Roya quickly toward the ward while talking about the patient.

The patient treated this time is the two-star adventurer Misk!

Half a month ago, I was bitten by a ghoul while out on an adventure.

The ghoul is a very terrifying monster that lives on carrion and likes to eat rotten things.

Their mouths are highly poisonous. As long as they bite their prey lightly, the prey's body will rot and die due to the highly toxic infection.

It would have been fine if he had been treated immediately when he was bitten, but nearly half a month had passed before he returned to Gray Mist City for treatment. It could be said that there was no hope of saving him.

Sure enough, when she saw Misk, Wendy had already acquiesced in her heart that he was dead.

Although Meeks looked still alive and his body didn't seem to be rotting, he looked like a crab.

Before the crab dies, its body has already begun to decay.

Therefore, dead crabs cannot be eaten.

The inside of Misk's body was almost rotten.

If it weren't for the combination of Misk's powerful strength, precious potions, and Barrow witch doctor's superb medical skills, it would have rotted into a pile of rotten flesh.

But even if one is forced to hang one's life, death is just a matter of time.

Even if he has great medical skills like Luo Ya, he can't save her, right?

He just shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do, and no one would blame him.

However--

After spending a few minutes checking Misk's body, Roja actually nodded slightly and said - "It can be saved!"

"What?"

"real?"

"You didn't lie, did you?"

Doubts rang out one after another.

Even the Barrow witch doctor has no solution, but Roya can cure it directly?

As long as Roya said "I try", no one would question it.

However, there were two people present who completely trusted Roja.

One is the Barrow witch doctor who knows very well how advanced Roya's medical skills are.

The other is Wendy who worships Roja almost mindlessly even though she has no idea how powerful Roja is.

After the witch doctor Barrow asked the other people to leave, only a few witch doctors who helped him were left, discussing the treatment plan with Roya.

Roja explained while talking about the treatment plan:

"The poison of the ghoul is not an ordinary poison. To be precise, it is a living thing, a microorganism that is invisible to the naked eye."

"The number of reproduction times of this kind of creature is limited. As long as the number of reproduction times reaches the end, the number of microorganisms will begin to decrease. At that time, if people are not dead, they can be saved."

"Normally speaking, with a human's size, a human would have already decayed 10,000 times before the number of divisions and reproduction of microbial toxins reaches the end."

"So I plan to use the external body to enter the field for treatment."

Regarding the treatment plan proposed by Roya, except for the surprised expression of the witch doctor Barrow, everyone else present was confused and could not understand it at all, including Wendy.

Microorganisms invisible to the naked eye?

Number of divisions and reproduction?

External body?

What are you talking about?

Wendy and others looked confused and helped prepare for the treatment.

Not long after, three huge meaty rock pigs appeared in the room.

The meat rock pig is a domesticated high-level monster. After years of breeding and training, the meat rock pig has a gentle personality and is not aggressive, and it grows meat quickly.

Watching Roya cut an incision in the body of the rock pig, which was bigger than an elephant, and then stuffed half of Misk's body inside.

At this time, Wendy vaguely knew what Roja planned to do.

When he saw that the ghoul poison on Misk was actually moving towards the meat rock pig, the body of the meat rock pig began to rot under the influence of the ghoul poison.

Wendy totally got it.

Is this an external body?

When using the powerful vitality of meat and rock pigs to treat the injured, they also transfer the toxins from the injured body to the meat and rock pigs?

It’s really… amazing!

How on earth is it done?

How could there be such miraculous medical skills in this world?

How could there be such a skilled doctor in this world?

Is Roja the god of witch doctors?

Not to mention a new witch doctor like Wendy, even Barrow witch doctor was very excited when he saw this scene, making people wonder if he would die suddenly due to being too excited.

After all three rock pigs were used, the ghoul poison in Misk's body had been completely eliminated.

Although Misk's injuries were still very serious, and would still be fatal for ordinary people, with the presence of the Barrow witch doctor, there would be no problem in rescuing him.

After Roja refused Barrow Witch Doctor's offer to stay and asked Barrow Witch Doctor to focus on Misk's follow-up treatment, he took Wendy out of Barrow Witch Doctor's residence, got on the carriage and walked back to Lortai. On the road to the manor.

In the carriage.

Wendy looked at Roja with sparkling eyes, her eyes almost jumped out of her head.

"Do you want to learn?" Roja suddenly asked.

"I think!" Wendy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Under Luo Ya's in-depth explanation, he carefully taught Wendy the treatment methods just used.

It's a pity that Wendy doesn't understand at all.

Although Roja has tried his best to explain it in a simple way, after all, Wendy has only been in contact with witch doctors for half a year, and is just a newbie who has just started as a witch doctor.

It's like explaining calculus to a primary school student who has just learned the four arithmetic operations. How can he understand it?

But even if she didn't understand, Wendy still listened carefully and tried her best to memorize it by rote.

She believed that these things would one day become her great wealth.

Unknowingly, the destination, Lortai Manor, was already in sight.

Wendy felt a little regretful.

It would be nice if the road home was a little longer.

How can I continue walking for several days and nights so that she can attend classes for several days and nights?

In Wendy's Melancholy Room.

"哐——哐——"

The carriage suddenly shook violently.

The shaking made Wendy feel dizzy.

When the carriage finally stabilized, Wendy was surprised to find that Roya's figure was missing!

Directly above the carriage carriage, a hole appeared.

The cold night wind blew in from the hollow and blew on her body.

Wendy had to accept the fact that Roya had been kidnapped!

Listening to the coachman's worried words of "Is everything okay?", Wendy quickly concealed Roya's disappearance.

Once home.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wendy immediately jumped off the carriage and quickly walked to the secret room deep underground with a gloomy face.

Follow the steps of Loyalism and find an oil lamp in the secret room.

Looking at the oil lamp burning with the white flame of life in front of her, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the lamp of life connected to the life of Roja.

The burning condition of the lamp represents Roja's current life condition.

Judging from the current lamp of life, there is nothing wrong with Roja's body.

Roja had told her before that if he was kidnapped, he would immediately come to the secret room to look for the lamp of life.

If you find that he is in danger through the lamp of life, immediately go to the red dragon beauty for help.

If the Lamp of Life shows that there is no problem, but there is still no news after three days, go to the Red Dragon Beauty for help as well.

"Is he a patient?"

"Abducting people, do you plan to have them help treat illnesses?"

"If you want treatment, you will come to your home for help. To actually do something like kidnap the doctor, it's really abominable!"

Wendy was unwilling and angry, but there was nothing she could do.

She could only wait with the light of life.

Time passed by minute by minute.

She was waiting for news from Roja, waiting to see if she would seek help from the red dragon beauty.

Fortunately, Roya came back in less than two days.

She really wanted to ask Roja where he had been and what happened in the past two days.

But Luo Ya didn't say anything, and it was hard for her to ask.
