Rise of the Dark Witch

The last vitality cultivation is over.

The joy in Qiao Nuo's heart couldn't be hidden and overflowed.

In addition to no longer having to endure the pain of turning his body into an insect nest, there was another major reason that made him so excited.

He was able to meet his grandpa again!

Since he entered Nangle Castle, he has not seen his grandfather once.

He has been frustrated by this.

Could it be because his talent is so poor?

After several months, he was finally able to meet his grandfather, the greatest paladin in the history of the Shenglan Kingdom, again.

He walks alone in a majestic passageway that leads deep into the earth.

There is a huge bronze statue standing every few dozen meters on both sides of the passage. These bronze statues seem to be moving at any time, giving Jono a huge sense of oppression.

Listening to the footsteps echoing in the passage, Jono felt as if he was the only one left in the world.

All the negative emotions in his heart were amplified.

Fear, fear, fright...

He was walking forward calmly step by step, but his pace gradually became faster.

After he ran desperately in the passage, it seemed as if there was a monster chasing him behind him.

"Woooo..."

Jono, who was only ten years old, could no longer bear the fear and began to cry softly.

Just when his mind was about to collapse, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He came to a vibrant green hall.

Vines climbed on the walls, and flowers and plants grew on the ground.

Right in front of the hall, under a strange tree made of dozens of twisted vines, his grandfather, the Paladin of Roya, whom he missed so much, was sitting there.

Paladin Roya, who was wearing a white casual robe, looked at him with a smile, his pure blue eyes full of tenderness towards him.

"grandfather--"

Qiao Nuo threw himself into his grandfather's arms while wiping away tears.

"You are very brave to be able to come here alone." Roya touched his grandson Qiao Nuo's head and smiled.

"Grandpa, I miss you so much."

"Well, I miss you too."

Jono talked about his life in Nange Castle for the past few months, and Roja listened quietly.

After finishing speaking.

Jono, who had forgotten his fear, looked around curiously and asked, "Grandpa, where is this place? What do you want me to do here?"

"This is the place where you will be reborn." Roja chuckled softly.

"Reborn?" Qiao Nuo tilted his little head in confusion, his big and smart eyes full of doubts.

"Qiao Nuo, you are my grandson. You are not only the heir of the Nange family, but also my heir." Roja said solemnly.

"Is there any difference?" Qiao Nuo was even more puzzled.

"What I own is not just the Nange family. I also have more things that I need you to inherit and manage for me." Roja raised his head and looked into the distance, "You will control the Six Kingdoms for me. Earth, you will rule my kingdom for me, and you will be the master of this world.”

Qiao Nuo was dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, he quickly shook his head.

"Grandpa, I can't do it. I'm not as powerful as you at all..." Qiao Nuo suddenly thought of something, "Everyone says that Grandpa, you are a god-like existence. You can live for hundreds of thousands of years. You have no chance of reincarnation." I won’t inherit anything from you.”

"Don't worry, you will become a man as strong as me, and you will live as long as me." Roja said softly, stroking Qiao Nuo's head.

"Can I also become a Paladin?" Jono's eyes sparkled.

"No."

"ah?"

"The Paladin is just your starting point. When you stand on top of the world, the Paladin is just dust in front of you, which is not even an ant."

"Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You are still young, so it doesn't matter if you don't understand. What you need to do next is to become a great knight within ten days."

"What?"

Qiao Nuo's head was about to explode from the sudden information.

Although he studied swordsmanship for a period of time with the Buck knight in his hometown in the countryside, he studied for several months under the guidance of the Grand Knight instructor after coming to Nangle Castle.

But he hasn't even touched the edge of the would-be knight yet!

Even if his talent has been greatly improved after many times of vitality training and is better than other geniuses, it still takes more than half a year to become a quasi-knight.

Being able to step into the realm of a great knight before the age of twenty means that he has lived up to the cultivation and expectations of the Nange family.

As a result, he and his grandfather just met and they didn't even exchange a word, so he was asked to become a great knight within ten days?

As the most powerful person after the Holy Knight, how could it be so easy for the Great Knight to achieve this?

"Grandpa, you should be talking about ten years, right?" Qiao Nuo felt that Roja had said the wrong thing.

"Qiao Nuo, your knowledge is still not beyond the realm of mortals." Roja's eyes condensed with light, "There are too many strong men and too many geniuses in this world. The twenty-year-old knight looks at all the six countries." Not a genius, let alone the whole world.”

"But Grandpa, didn't you become a Grand Knight only when you were eighteen? I became a Grand Knight two years after you. I think it's quite normal?" Jono replied.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome to explain to you. Why don't you just answer, which one do you choose between becoming a great knight in ten days or becoming a great knight in ten years?"

"If it takes ten days, will it be very painful? More painful than vitality cultivation?"

"Won't."

"I became a great knight so quickly, how long will it take to become a paladin?"

"About fifteen years old."

"Fifteen? Isn't that better than you, grandpa?"

"Don't underestimate your grandpa too much. I will be very happy that you can reach the level that your grandpa and I are now before you are a hundred years old."

"Really? There is still such a big gap between the Paladin and your current realm, Grandpa?"

"Of course, you will learn this knowledge later."

"Grandpa, you mean the wizard?"

"Do you still know about wizards?"

"I accidentally heard the potion master Ila mention it."

"You won't become a wizard."

"That's good. Wizards are so evil and scary. I don't want to be a wizard."

Roya didn't lie to Jono because he didn't want him to become a wizard.

Qiao Nuo is his heir, and he also expects Qiao Nuo to marry a wife and have children to help him breed a bunch of descendants.

He plans to let Jono take the path of a paladin.

Paladins will not be reproductively isolated from ordinary people and can have children normally.

By the time Jono reached the third-level paladin realm and began to attack the first-level realm, he would be at least fifty years old.

At that age, becoming an official wizard creates reproductive isolation from other people and has little impact.

However, it is okay to compensate Jono as a paladin, but it is a bit difficult to train him to the official wizard level.

Jono perfectly inherited his talents, both of which were poor.

If Roja had not awakened the proof of his two souls, he would not have the talent to become a wizard at all. It would be difficult for him to become a great knight in this life.

The same goes for Jono.

The physical talent is poor, and the mental talent is even worse. In theory, there is no possibility of becoming a strong person.

But qualifications can be improved, and strength can be piled up with resources!

Moreover, Roja's expectation for Jono is not just to become a paladin or a formal wizard, but to become a being who is invincible in the same realm and has a very high upper limit, such as a son of the abyss, a star creature, or a dragon bloodline.

To achieve this goal, we need a lot of resources, which are very precious. Even if we collect all the resources in the six countries, it will be difficult to succeed.

Roja originally planned to do it step by step, improving a little at each stage.

Try to let Jono become a first-level wizard and a second-level wizard, so that he can keep up with his pace of becoming stronger and not fall behind too far.

Then a few days ago, he met an old acquaintance.

Serje Carter Naranga!

After meeting Sejie again after nearly twenty years, Sejie has successfully obtained the complete star spirit bloodline and has become a being whose physique and talent are no less than those of the Son of the Abyss.

Back then, Zuoqi, the son of the abyss, was only at the beginning of the first level, but Sejie was definitely not at this level.

Sejie is only dozens or hundreds of times stronger than Zuoqi, the son of the abyss.

The strength is naturally far above Roja.

When Sejie met again, she didn't reminisce too much with Luo Ya. She just gave Luo Ya something and continued to practice in seclusion.

What Sejie gave to Roja was the twelve-star compass!

The twelve-star compass can absorb and store the power of the stars, and has the advantages of accelerating cultivation, improving qualifications, upgrading bloodline, etc.

There are twelve gems on the twelve-star compass, and each gem corresponds to a constellation.

Back then, Roja only injected one Star God's soul into the Twelve Star Compass, which already made the Twelve Star Compass unimaginably powerful.

After re-acquiring the twelve-star compass this time, all twelve star god souls were collected!

The twelve-star compass was so powerful that even Luo Ya was shocked!

It can be said that the effectiveness of the Twelve-Star Compass is no less than that of the evil that Roja absorbed, and unlike the one-time evil, the Twelve-Star Compass can be reused many times.

It's a pity that Sejie was a step too late.

He has completed five life transformations, and his cultivation realm has reached the peak of the first level. The twelve-star compass is no longer of much use to him.

You can't blame Sejie for this.

Who would have thought that Roja had only been a first-level wizard for twenty years and already achieved something that other first-level wizards could not accomplish in hundreds of years?

Although the twelve-star compass is no longer of much use to Roja, for any other first-level wizard, the twelve-star compass is definitely an artifact that can make them think.

If he gives the twelve-star compass to Glory, Glory will become a first-level wizard in the fourth realm within thirty years.

Roya didn't do that.

Because he doesn't trust Glory enough.

He plans to use the twelve-star compass on his grandson Jono.

He will use the power of the Twelve Star Compass, coupled with his knowledge and the evidence of the two souls, to make Jono into a genius with talents and qualifications that are no less than those of the Son of the Abyss and the Star Spirit Bloodline!

In this way, at least he can guarantee that he will have a close relative by his side for hundreds of thousands of years to come.

Roya can endure loneliness alone in the dark.

But if there is light to accompany him, he will be happier.

The question is, how easy is it to cultivate an official wizard?

There is a reason why there is only one official wizard in the Land of Six Kingdoms every hundred years.

Fortunately, he has the proof of two souls!

He got a twelve-star compass as a gift from Sejie!

If you have qualifications comparable to those of a son of the abyss, you won't be able to become a formal wizard, you won't even be able to reach the second level, and you won't be able to touch the third level.

All I can say is, this person is such a waste!

Roja believed that Jono, as his favored descendant, was definitely not a waste.

"Qiao Nuo, do you believe me?" Roja asked, stroking Qiao Nuo's little head.

"Believe it!" Qiao Nuo answered without hesitation.

"good."

Roja smiled slightly and tapped Qiao Nuo with his finger.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ——

The surrounding vines immediately shot towards Jono, tying him up and suspending him in mid-air.

Looking at Jono screaming in fear in mid-air.

Roja encouraged: "I believe that my grandson, as the future Paladin and the future Lord of the Six Kingdoms, will definitely not be afraid of this little thing."

"I, I'm not afraid!" Qiao Nuo clenched his fists, "Come on! I can bear it!"

"Haha, you are indeed my good grandson."

Roja stepped hard on the ground, and countless ancient and strange magic patterns suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls.

These magic patterns glowed brightly, and invisible power flowed towards Jono through the vines.

Then, Luo Ya threw his hand, and the twelve-star compass flew towards Jono, turning into a warm little sun suspended above Jono's head.

"Qiao Nuo, I will give you the best start that everyone envies. Don't let me down!"

In the years since Roja became a wizard, he has suffered too many losses due to lack of qualifications.

If he had the talent of the Son of the Abyss at the beginning, he would not only be invincible in the Six Kingdoms, but also walk sideways in the Shenwa Witch Domain.

The reason why he was able to make up for the gap in innate qualifications and reach a state that many geniuses could not reach was because he had the certificate of two souls.

What about others who don’t have the Two Soul Certificate?

Roja stared at Jono closely.

"I will extract the demon blood from your body and make you the purest human being."

"I will increase your potential so that your vitality and spiritual power can exceed the limits of the human body. At the apprentice level, it can reach 50,000 units, 100,000 units, or even higher levels."

"I will strengthen your life source and give you a physique comparable to that of a monster of the same level."

"I can……"

Roja used the twelve-star compass, combined with many very precious treasures, and with the help of the dual soul certificate, strengthened Qiao Nuo bit by bit.

…

After finishing the first day of strengthening Jono, Roja did not let him leave immediately.

As his grandson and his chosen heir, Jono still had to find a way to deepen his relationship with Jono.

The reason why Jono relies on him and likes him so much now is because he is the Paladin of Roja who saved the Six Kingdoms, and because he is a god in the eyes of the common people in the Six Kingdoms.

When Jono grows up one day, and the Paladins and the Six Kingdoms are insignificant and weak things in Jono's eyes, will they still respect him as much as they do now?

It is important to cultivate feelings.

Roja asked Jono, who had just finished strengthening and was still weak, to sit on his lap.

He hugged Qiao Nuo and said: "As my heir, you must not only have strong strength, but also have profound knowledge."

"Grandpa, are you going to teach me how to study?" Qiao Nuo's face suddenly turned bitter.

I remember when he was in the village, he occasionally practiced swordplay and caught bugs. Apart from being often hungry, he lived a free life.

After arriving at Nangle Castle.

The overall life is much better than that in the village. The only thing that makes Qiao Nuo feel deeply sad is-study!

Wouldn't it be enough if you can recognize some common words and can read and write letters?

What mathematics should I study?

Forget addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, are those one-variable equations and two-variable equations really useful after learning them?

Geography knowledge?

He doesn't plan to draw a map, so what's the use of learning it?

And language.

I need to memorize one poem after another that is so long that it makes people lose their hair, and I need to do all kinds of bitter and profound reading comprehension.

There are also various etiquettes.

Table manners, dress etiquette, speaking etiquette, banquet etiquette... too many to count.

All kinds of knowledge he needs to learn are just stacked up, higher than others.

Whenever he had a study session, his legs would tremble.

"Grandpa, can you reduce some study courses? I'm not lazy. I can use the time I spend studying knowledge to practice swordsmanship." Qiao Nuo begged.

"Haha, don't be afraid, I'm teaching you history." Roja smiled.

"History?" Qiao Nuo still had a bitter look on his face.

“You might not enjoy history class, but what if it’s a story?”

"Story? I'll listen!"

Qiao Nuo suddenly became energetic.

Roja knew that the best way to educate a child like Qiao Nuo, who was only ten years old, was to make him like learning.

Boring spoon-feeding education is just a helpless move when educational resources are insufficient.

If given a choice, who wouldn’t want to adopt an education method that teaches students in accordance with their aptitude?

Luo Ya compiled the ten-thousand-year history of the Six Kingdoms from Emperor Luo Lan to the present into stories like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and told them to Qiao Nuo.

While telling stories, he also used magic power to conjure up various scenes, giving Jono the same feeling as watching a 3D epic movie.

Whenever he saw tens of thousands of troops facing each other head-on, saw wizards engaging in fierce battles, saw first-level powerhouses moving like meteors... Jono's body and mind were immersed in the stories told by Roya.

When Roja told the story, he also used some mental tricks to stimulate Jono's brain potential, giving him the ability to learn from what he heard and never forget.

This method of external force stimulating the brain's potential causes great damage and consumption to the brain.

But with Roya here, it won't cause any sequelae to Qiao Nuo at all.

Happy time is always so short.

Unknowingly, it was time for Roja and Qiao Nuo to part ways.

"Wuwu, I don't want to be separated from you, grandpa, wuwu..." Qiao Nuo hugged Roja and acted coquettishly.

"Are you reluctant to leave grandpa, or do you want to hear stories?" Roja asked, knocking Qiao Nuo's little head.

"Of course I can't bear to leave grandpa." Qiao Nuo turned his head away with a guilty conscience.

"In three days, when you have adapted to your body, we will meet again." Roja patted Qiao Nuo's head lovingly, "Do you need grandpa to take you back?"

"No need, Qiao Nuo is already a man." Qiao Nuo jumped off Roja's lap, looked back three times, and left full of reluctance.
