Rise of the Dark Witch

The banquet that lasted for three days and three nights was finally over.

Everyone dispersed.

Let's get down to business.

Roya and King Hulda walked in the vast passage that led to the depths of the earth.

In this circular passage with a diameter of hundreds of meters, the sound of heavy footsteps spread into the distance and disappeared.

Generally, when we discuss business matters, we usually find a solemn place to sit down and talk in detail, or we discuss it at a banquet while drinking and eating.

In the Ashbone Empire, it was walking and talking.

There are no cumbersome etiquette at all, and it doesn't look like one of the five empires of the Shenwa Witch Domain.

However, as the Ashbone Empire is a collection of many alien tribes, the weakest of the five empires, a force supported by the Gray Wizard, and the bottom of the despised chain of the Shenwa Witch Domain, it cannot ask for too much.

And Roja really likes the Ashbone Empire's way of doing things.

Roja talked about the purpose of his visit to the Ashbone Empire. King Hulda listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

"Brother Hulda, should you know about our Saint Luo Empire?"

"In about twenty years, the day of accumulating demons will come, the demon blood embryo will be born, and the entire Holy Luo Empire will turn into a battlefield for level three wizards."

"Oh, that's a third-level wizard!"

"He's a level three wizard who can flatten hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land with just a wave of his hand, and move dozens or hundreds of times the speed of sound!"

"At that time, instead of one third-level wizard, there will be nearly ten third-level wizards fighting. It is possible that the second-level wizards will be killed in the aftermath of the attack, not to mention ordinary people?"

"As the emperor of the Saint Luo Empire, I certainly cannot watch my people die, so I made preparations decades ago."

"We have now started trying to move people out of the Shengluo Empire and live in the wilderness for a while, and then go back after the Day of Yunma is over."

"But the population is too large, and there are too many monsters in the wilderness."

"We in the Holy Luo Empire only have about a hundred wizard apprentices and tens of thousands of great knights. It is impossible for these people to protect a population of more than one billion in the wilderness amid the many dangers."

"Brother Hulda, your Ashbone Empire is nearby, and you have rich experience in living in the wilderness, so can you lend us some manpower?"

"My requirements are not much, just a few first-level ones, a few hundred apprentice-level ones, and tens of thousands of great knight-level ones, that's about it."

"Of course I won't ask for your help, brother Hulda, in vain. If you have any needs, just ask me and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Facing Roya's sincere words, King Hulda thought for a while.

He spoke slowly:

"You should know something about the Endless Wild Forest, right? The tree spirits are planting magic plants everywhere, expanding the scope of the Endless Wild Forest, and encroaching on our human territory bit by bit."

"If it's just a first-level demon strain, just destroy the first-level demon strain. It's troublesome but not impossible."

"That won't work for the second-level magic plants. Once the second-level magic plants take shape, they will be integrated with the thousands of already existing second-level magic plants. Unless we can destroy all the thousands of second-level magic plants in one go, it will be impossible." It cannot kill any second-level demonic plant."

"If you want to destroy thousands of second-level demonic plants in one go, even a fourth-level wizard may not be able to do it, right?"

King Hulda sighed.

"Our Ashbone Empire is located near the Endless Desolate Forest, and we are fighting on the front line against the Endless Desolate Forest."

"Over the years, we have become increasingly powerless in the face of the invasion of tree spirits. In the hundreds of years I have been in power, I have asked tree spirits to plant three second-level magic plants."

"Now, the tree spirits are planning to hold a second-level magic plant promotion ceremony."

"The Kingdom of Pita Tree Spirits is located deep in the Pita Mountains, not far from the Ashbone Empire."

As the power of the tree spirits in the Endless Desolate Forest, the tree spirits in it are not united.

After all, even the small land of the Six Kingdoms was divided into six countries.

The tree spirits in the Endless Desolate Forest are also divided into large and small groups with various strengths. The Kingdom of Bita Tree Spirits deep in the Bita Mountains is a second-rate force among the many tree spirit forces.

Although there is not even one second-level magic plant in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom, there are dozens of first-level magic plants planted. Once the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant is successful, the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom will become an endless wasteland. The first-class tree spirit force in the forest.

Facing the second-rate tree spirit force of the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom, if the human side tried its best to stop it, their second-level magic plant promotion ceremony would not be successful at all.

However, humans are not creatures that are easy to unite.

Because the Pita Dryad Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of the Ashbone Empire, theoretically, it must be handled by the Ashbone Empire.

If the Ashbone Empire thinks it can't handle it, will it ask for help from other forces?

Those forces will definitely open their mouths to the Lion of the Ashbone Empire!

Let the Ashbone Empire pay an extremely heavy price!

It's obviously to stop the tree spirits, and everything we do is for mankind, why can't we help the Ashbone Empire?

There are two reasons.

First, because the Ashbone Empire is a country composed of alien tribes.

Secondly, because the Empire of Gray Bones is a force supported by gray wizards.

The alien's identity is already at the bottom of the human race's contempt chain. When surrounded by the forces of dark wizards, a country that takes refuge in gray wizards?

If everyone doesn’t target you, who should they target?

Although Qianlin Ancient Kingdom is not a black wizard, Qianlin Ancient Kingdom is the power of the good old green wizard in the wizarding world. The green wizard is one of the four-color wizards.

What is a gray wizard?

It’s just a rat crossing the street that everyone is shouting to beat!

People hate gray wizards, not just because they are weak.

Especially because the gray wizard has no bottom line in his actions!

Black, white, green, and red wizards all have their own philosophies and certain rules for their behavior.

The Gray Wizard is a collection of lunatics!

The gray wizard has no ideas!

As long as you are a free wizard, you can join the Gray Wizard!

This led to gray wizards often doing things that exceeded the lower limit, such as colluding with foreign races to murder fellow races.

Although the Empire of Gray Bones is the front line against the tree spirits, the Empire of Gray Bones is a force secretly supported by the gray wizards, and many gray wizards work closely with the tree spirits.

When Roa was still an apprentice, he was jointly attacked by gray wizards and tree spirits.

On the one hand, shouting slogans against the dryads.

On the other hand, there is a close cooperation with the dryads.

How does this make people believe in gray wizards?

Why do you like the Empire of Ashes?

Teaming up with the Ashbone Empire to fight the Dryads? Aren't you afraid that the Gray Wizard from the Ashbone Empire will take the opportunity to stab you in the back?

Therefore, Roja did not sympathize with the Gray Bone Empire's experience.

However, Roja still decided to cooperate with the Ashbone Empire.

Because the Ashbone Empire's contribution to resisting the tree spirits over the years is obvious to all, the gray wizards who support the Graybone Empire behind the scenes are not from the same faction as the gray wizards who should be cooperating with the tree spirits.

After Roja listened to King Hulda's story about the upcoming promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant in the Pita Tree Spirit Kingdom.

He directly patted his chest and said proudly:

"The tree spirits are the common enemy of us humans. Isn't it natural to fight the tree spirits and prevent them from performing the second-level magic plant promotion ceremony?"

"I will take action in this battle!"

"But not as a thank you gift for your willingness to help me, brother Hulda, but to join the war as a human being!"

"The thank you gift must be counted separately!"

"So brother Hulda, what kind of thanks do you need?"

"I absolutely cannot let Brother Hulda let your help for me go in vain."

King Hulda was deeply moved by Roya's words.

Thinking back to when he was fighting the tree spirits, he begged his grandfather and grandma everywhere for help. In the end, those forces either looked on with cold eyes or opened their mouths.

However, Luo Ya immediately agreed with a pat on his chest.

No requests were made.

This was something he couldn't imagine before.

He took a deep breath and patted Roja on the shoulder, "Haha, with your help, brother Roja, we will definitely be able to successfully prevent the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant in the Bita Dryad Kingdom this time."

"As for our cooperation..."

"There's no need to be so anxious. After you see the 'gift' I gave you, we can talk about cooperation slowly."

Roja had some doubts in his heart.

cooperate?

Gift?

His face was impassive.

"Brother Hulda, is this a gift from you? Haha, let me look forward to it."

Not long after.

The two of them followed the underground passage to the depths of the ground.

Under the leadership of King Hulda, Roja came to a huge door hundreds of meters high.

King Hulda pressed his hands on the heavy door, and magic power surged into the door.

Magic power is flowing in the door, and magic lines flowing with hot magic power appear on the door.

Rumble——

With a huge roar, the heavy stone door hundreds of meters high slowly opened.

Pale cold air overflowed from the crack in the door.

The temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped by hundreds of degrees Celsius.

Behind the door, there is an extremely huge empty room.

Several people were already standing in the cold room.

Everyone exudes a second-level atmosphere!

Everyone is a level two powerhouse!

Several of them were strangers like King Hulda.

However, there are a few people who wear gray robes and are members of the gray wizards.

King Hulda led Roja into the room and introduced the second-level powerhouses present to Roja one by one.

After getting to know everyone.

King Hulda pointed at something not far away and smiled at Roya: "Brother Roya, those are the gifts I gave you!"

The moment Roja entered the room, he noticed the small mountain-like objects placed in the room.

Those are the remains of overlord-level monsters!

There are seven in total!

Overlord-level monsters are extremely rare and extremely difficult to hunt.

Even if a Overlord-level monster is successfully killed, the Overlord-level monster's body will become in tatters.

However, each of the seven overlord-level monster remains here is very complete, with only a few parts damaged.

Where did King Hulda and the others come from so many complete corpses of overlord-level monsters?

Roja guessed that these overlord-level monster corpses were trophies from their battle with the tree spirits in the endless forest.

As the son of the forest, the dryad's ability is to control plants and control monsters.

Almost every second-level tree spirit controls an overlord-level monster.

As the frontline of the battle against the tree spirits, the Ashbone Empire must often fight against overlord-level monsters. When they win, they can occasionally kill and obtain the corpses of overlord-level monsters.

They stored the relatively complete overlord-level monster corpses.

As an overlord-level monster, even if it is dead, the aura it exudes is still extremely heavy.

Standing in front of these overlord-level monsters, the wizard apprentice might not be able to stand firmly.

Legendary monsters will definitely scream and run away when they feel the aura of these overlord-level monsters.

Roja's eyes have been deeply attracted by these seven overlord-level monsters.

The reason why King Hulda gave these seven overlord-level monsters to him must be because he knew that his wizard was the Origin Apparition, right?

The use of origin transformation requires casting materials.

Origin Apparition without casting materials is a useless witchcraft.

The Origin Transformation with powerful spellcasting materials allows wizards to have the ability to kill enemies across levels.

The Origin Transformation is a witchcraft with extremely high upper and lower limits.

But the further you get to the back, the harder it is to obtain the casting materials, the more difficult it is to find, and the longer it takes.

Over the years, Roja has been busy doing various things and has no time or energy to find and make the materials for the Return to Origin Transformation spell.

As a result, he currently has only three secondary spell-casting materials.

It also comes from the contracted monster Bone Shoutmon.

A pure-blooded giant dragon derived from the second-level witch medicine True Dragon Blood Embryo.

The same comes from when he participated in the third magic machine trial, the key holder of the sixth level of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, the three-headed hell dog.

Now King Hulda directly placed the corpses of seven overlord-level monsters that could be made into spell-casting materials in front of him, and threatened to give them to him.

How could he not be moved?

Seeing the undisguised desire in Roja's eyes, King Hulda smiled and introduced the seven overlord-level monster corpses in front of Roja.

In front of a huge black spider that was nearly a hundred meters tall even though it was lying down.

"This overlord-level monster with sixteen eyes and thirty-two legs is the Shadow Spider."

"It is a terrifying monster that hides in the shadows, waiting for opportunities to sneak attack on the enemy."

"Despite its huge size, when it uses its ability to turn into a shadow and move, even a second-level wizard with strong perception will have a hard time detecting its traces."

"And it is so huge that it can hide in the small shadow of the tree spirit. As the tree spirit moves, it caused great damage to us back then."

In front of a five-hundred-meter-long dragon monster with three huge dragon horns on its head, it still vaguely exudes a hint of dragon power even after it has been dead for many years.

"This is Triceratops."

"The name may seem mediocre, but it has the power and defense at the pinnacle of overlord-level monsters. A second-level wizard's full blow on it could only produce a skin wound, and the skin wound healed quickly. "

"In the end, we spent a lot of money to invite several second-level spiritual wizards to set up an ambush and use spiritual attacks to kill it."

Then he came to a giant snake with six heads, each head was one hundred meters long, and the total body length was one thousand meters long.

"The six-headed demon snake, each head has a certain ability. You must cut off all six heads at the same time to kill it."

"At the beginning, six of us, a total of six second-level experts, joined forces to fight it fiercely for three days and three nights, and finally we found the opportunity to cut off its six heads at once."

"After bringing it back as a trophy, we sewed the six severed heads back on one by one."

They came to the fourth overlord-level monster.

It was an ant with wings. It was the most "petite" among all the overlord-level monsters present, with a body length of less than a hundred meters.

"The red-spotted ant queen may not be considered the weakest, but she has an ability, which is to lay eggs. Every ant hatched from an egg is a first-level lord-level monster!"

"It can control up to three hundred lord-level red-spotted demonic ants at the same time. It is a strategic-level overlord-level demonic beast that can destroy a country and establish a power!"

"If it weren't for the fact that there is a limit to how many eggs it can lay, after it reaches the limit, it has to wait for the previous eggs to die before it can continue to produce eggs. If it could lay eggs indefinitely, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to be described by the words 'strategic level'. "

Come to the fifth monster.

This overlord-level monster is a rare water monster.

The entire monster is three hundred meters long and slender, like an unsheathed sword.

"The devil swordfish is the fastest fish in the sea."

"Obviously in the sea with great resistance, it can swim at a terrifying speed of more than ten or twenty times the speed of sound."

Then, he came to the last two monsters.

One is an extremely huge turtle, like a small island.

Is one a "plant" that has become a fossil?

Looking at the two overlord-level monsters in front of him, Roja took a deep breath.

"The second-level island turtle has no offensive power, but its defense is very strong."

"This island turtle helped the tree spirits transport things at sea. It was like a mobile island on the sea. Its elusiveness caused us a lot of trouble."

"In the end, it took a lot of effort to kill this second-level island turtle."

"The magical beast that turned into stone and resembled a plant is a tree snake. It is a special monster between plants and magical beasts."

"It possesses the wisdom and desire to attack of a monster, but has the tenacious vitality of a plant. It is extremely difficult to deal with."

"In the end, it was sealed using petrification witchcraft."

The seven overlord-level monster corpses in front of me are not just seven corpses.

Every overlord-level monster here represents a tragic battle and the huge sacrifices made by the Ashbone Empire to defend against the tree spirits.

When King Hulda introduced the corpses of these seven overlord-level monsters, his eyes became a little moist when he recalled the past events.

After briefly introducing the seven overlord-level monster corpses present.

King Hulda said to Roya: "Brother Roya, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Roja did not nod immediately.

The complete corpses of seven overlord-level monsters, this gift was too grand for him, whose witchcraft was to return to the source of transformation.

He couldn't help but think.

Why did King Hulda give him this generous gift?

He and King Hulda had just met for the first time, and they had only known each other for three days!

Did the two of them hit it off like old friends?

It’s okay to deceive children for this reason.

He remembered the battle between Jono and Marshal Gunda at the cocktail party a few days ago.

It was just an ordinary sparring competition, and King Hulda actually took out the extremely precious nine-life green blood snake as a reward?

From that moment on, Roja felt something was a little abnormal.

Now, this abnormal feeling has reached its extreme. (End of chapter)
