Rise of the Dark Witch

The eighth, ninth, and tenth floors of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave are collectively called the Trial City. The Trial City is where the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain uses to cultivate and select students. Only wizards with less than a thousand or so can study in the Trial City. Become stronger.

If Magic Machine Academy is a university.

So graduating from Magic Machine Academy and entering Trial City is equivalent to graduating from university and becoming an intern in a certain company.

Only after passing the internship period can you become a full-time employee.

It's just that the gap between formal employees is also huge after they become regular employees.

Some people work on the assembly line tightening screws after becoming regular workers.

Some people, after becoming full-time employees, start serving tea and pouring water in a certain department.

Some people are directly trained by senior leaders after they become regular employees.

Entering the Trial City is equivalent to becoming a student candidate for the Demon Machine Domain Master and a cadre candidate.

Those who can successfully complete the twelve magic machine trials can become students of the master of the magic machine domain.

The rest will become cadres of different levels based on the completion of trials.

After bidding farewell to the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain, Roja successfully reached the eighth floor.

He stood in a magnificent temple.

He turned his head and observed the temple he was in. This temple was very similar to the temple he had just met with the Demon Machine Territory Master, except that it was much smaller.

The temple where the Lord of the Magic Machine Realm is located is as large as a province.

The temple here is still magnificent, but the area is only about the same as a university.

Right in front of the temple, stands a huge statue a hundred meters high - the statue of the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain.

On both sides of the temple, there are eight statues of different shapes.

At this time, Roja heard an envious voice coming from beside him.

It was the voice of Aita, Nan En, and Rizan, who had passed the Void Trial with him.

"I wonder if my statue has a chance to become a member here?"

"Haha, it's better not to dream. Except for the master of the Demon Machine Domain himself, the other eight statues here are all seventh-level wizards trained by the Master of the Demon Machine Region!"

"The Master of the Magic Machine Domain who is able to cultivate eight seventh-level wizards can be regarded as a master of education in the entire wizarding world."

If you want to become a member of the gods here, you don't just have to be a student of the Demon Machine Domain Lord, you also have to become a seventh-level wizard!

As for those of them present, let alone becoming seventh-level wizards, the possibility of completing the Twelve Magic Machine Trials is extremely slim.

After everyone looked at the temple and sighed.

"What are your plans next?" Lizan asked.

"Of course, continue to become stronger, continue to participate in the magic machine trials, and strive to complete the twelve magic machine trials before the age of one thousand." Nan En, holding the flesh and blood sword, said calmly.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'll be satisfied if I enter the Trial City." Aita said with a flat chest and no ambition.

"...Me too." Roja said softly.

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Three dazzling gazes suddenly fell on Roja.

"Aren't you going to continue participating in the remaining magic machine trials?" Rizan asked in surprise.

"I thought your goal was the same as mine." Nan En said doubtfully.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to become the student of the Demon Machine Domain Master? Even if you can't pass the twelve trials with your strength, I think there is no problem in completing the eleven." Aita said in surprise.

They who have worked with Roja know very well his strength.

As a wizard of both the plant system and the time system, Roja possesses extremely high combat power and potential.

In a real life-and-death fight, even Nan En of Demon Soul Style was not sure of victory when facing Roja.

In their opinion, the one among the four of them who has gone the farthest in the Magic Machine Trial is none other than Roya.

Unexpectedly, Roja gave up.

"...Oh, a lot of things happened." Roja shook his head and sighed.

Everyone saw that Roja was unwilling to explain, and it was difficult for them to ask questions.

"We have been fighting side by side for ten years. How about we become friends? Let's keep in touch when we have time in the future?" Rizan said looking at the others with a somewhat humble expression.

They also completed the nine trials and graduated from Magic Machine Academy, but there was a gap between the graduates, and the gap was very big.

Of the four of them, Rizan is undoubtedly the weakest.

There is a huge gap between his strength, talent, and potential and the other three!

This may be the only opportunity in his life to build relationships with big names like Roya, Nan En, and Aita, and he cannot miss it.

Under Rizan's pleading gaze, everyone nodded after thinking for a moment.

Finished adding friends.

Complete farewell.

Riza and Nan En left one after another.

Only Roja and Aita were left walking out of the temple step by step, looking at the entire trial city.

They are currently in the second-level trial city on the eighth floor. After becoming a third-level wizard, they will open the third-level trial city on the ninth floor. After becoming a fourth-level wizard, they will open the fourth-level trial city. .

If you can complete the corresponding magic machine trial, the permissions of the trial city can be upgraded.

The remaining three trials, the tenth, eleventh and twelfth trials, correspond to level two, level three and level four wizards respectively.

Second-level wizards with ordinary permissions can get an additional deputy job in the second-level trial city, and can again choose two witchcraft for free to specialize in. As for other knowledge and witchcraft, you must spend a lot of money to learn and research. Only magic crystals can be learned.

And the second-level wizard who completes the tenth trial can get the permission to learn all the knowledge of the second-level trial city for free!

Roja has not completed the tenth trial yet, and he should only have ordinary permissions in the second-level trial city.

Originally, he could only choose one more deputy job and two witchcrafts to learn for free.

But as he became a God Hunter, the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain granted him special permission. He can learn all the knowledge here for free!

"Is this the trial city?"

"It took two hundred years for me to finally catch up with you."

A figure appeared in Roja's mind.

That was the first official wizard he had seen in his life.

The leader of the Apprentice Trial—Aqisai Wizard!

When he first met Wizard Aqisai, he was nearly three hundred years old and still struggling in the tenth trial.

In the eyes of the former Roja, Wizard Achisai was a being whose talent and strength were far above him, and he could only look at him from a distance.

After all, that is someone who can graduate from Magic Machine Academy!

Now that he has completed the Nine Trials and graduated from the Magic Machine Academy, he finally has the qualifications to objectively evaluate Wizard Aqisai.

"Achisai wizard's strength and talent are probably about the same as Rizan's?"

"The crane tail that belongs to the second-level trial city?"

"We haven't seen each other for nearly two hundred years. He should be a third-level wizard now, in the third-level trial city on the ninth floor of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, right?"

"Is there a chance to meet him?"

The eighth, ninth, and tenth floors of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave are all connected, which means that you may encounter a fourth-level wizard in the second-level trial city.

While Roja was watching the trial city, he was thinking about various things in his heart.

A figure wrapped in golden magic flew towards them quickly and landed steadily in front of them.

It was a muscular man over two meters tall.

In Magic Machine Academy, in order to prevent unnecessary friction between students, the Master of Magic Machine used special witchcraft to prevent communication and contact between wizards.

But in the city of trials, there is no such special magic.

The wizards and wizards in the Trial City can clearly see each other's appearance and can communicate and contact normally.

Of course, harming each other is still not allowed in the Trial City.

The strong man who was now in front of them felt the breath of the Dragon Vein Wizard on him...

Aita happens to be a Dragon Vein Wizard too, does that mean...

"This is my cousin Gila Crist." Aita introduced to Roja.

"Hello, Wizard Roya, I've heard your name for a long time." Gila smiled at Roya, "I am Aita's cousin, Gila, a third-level wizard from the Christ family..."

Among the many wizards in the Yanyuan Realm where their hometown is, there are twenty-eight wizards who can graduate from the Magic Machine Academy and arrive in the Trial City, plus the newcomers Roja and Aita.

This is because the wizards in Trial City are all under a thousand years old.

The twenty-eight of them are the youngest, most powerful and talented group of wizards in the Yanyuan Realm. Every wizard who can enter the Trial City, if they don't die midway, has a foundation in the fourth level, and has great potential. Possibly a level 5 wizard.

There are four major witchcraft realms in the Yanyuan realm - Shenwa witchcraft realm, Yanlong witchcraft realm, Black Moon witchcraft realm, and Cold Spirit witchcraft realm.

Luo Ya comes from the Shenwa Witchland.

The wizard Achisai who was once his apprentice's trial came from the Black Moon Witch Realm.

Aita and Gila are from the Flame Dragon Witch Realm.

The Yanlong Witch Realm is the strongest among the four major witch realms in the Yanyuan Realm, and has the largest number of people in the Trial City. Among the twenty-eight people who were able to enter the Trial City, twelve were from the Flame Dragon Witch Realm!

Among them, there are actually two members of the Crist family in the Yanlong Witchland. Looking at the Yanlong Witchland, they can be regarded as a first-rate family.

"In order to welcome new companions, our trialists from the Flame Source Realm have gathered together for a rare welcome party. Wizard Roya, do you want to attend?" Wizard Gila invited.

Faced with the opportunity to meet other geniuses, Roja would naturally not let it go.

There are ten people in this gathering of trialists in Yanyuan Realm, including newcomers Roja and Aita.

The other eighteen people were unable to come because of other matters.

Among the ten people, there was one fourth-level wizard, four third-level wizards, and only five second-level wizards.

Ten of them gathered together to communicate with each other, add each other as friends, and give each other gifts.

Looking at the geniuses who are no less than myself, listening to the unheard of anecdotes...

Luo Ya felt that he gained a lot from this gathering.

The only regret is that the leader of the apprentice trial, Wizard Aqisai, is no longer there.

However, he asked other wizards about Wizard Achisai and heard that Wizard Achisai actually completed the tenth trial.

This result made Roja's evaluation of Wizard Achisai rise a lot.

"It seems that the Achisai wizard is better than the bottom player like Lizan, but there is still a gap compared to me, Aita and Nan En."

After the welcome meeting.

Roya and Aita came to Aita's residence together - a floating island that was as large as a province.

The residence arranged by the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain for each trialist in the Trial City is a floating island covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

These floating islands are suspended around the Trial City like satellites.

The number of wizards in the Trial City can be roughly estimated by the number of floating islands.

"About five hundred people?"

"It's really a lot."

When he thought that there were as many as 500 people of the same age as him and similar talents to him in the city of trials, Roja suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

This is just a subordinate of the Demonic Machine Territory Lord.

Looking at the entire wizarding world, how many geniuses are there who can rival him?

This made him feel like a top student in high school, but when he got to college there were people who were equal to him everywhere.

The two came to the wizard tower and began to discuss cooperation matters.

Roja successfully helped Aita pass the ninth trial. According to the cooperation contract, the Crist family should pay Roja the corpses of three level three monsters.

The corpse of a third-level domain lord monster is extremely rare.

However, for a large family like Crist with a level 5 wizard sitting in charge, it was just a few gold coins falling between their fingers.

Roja showed a satisfied smile as he looked at the three monsters in front of him that were as big as mountains and could distort the space with the magic power they emitted, and could even permanently change the environment.

The first one is a giant black snake with a length of one thousand meters and three pairs of wings.

The second head is a conch with a shell as high as a thousand meters, like a mountain.

The third head is a golden dragon with two heads.

After putting the corpse of the three-headed Domain Lord-level monster into the space ring, Roja did not leave immediately.

The two sat and drank and talked.

"You seem to hate Gila?" Roja asked.

From the moment she met Gila, Aita showed an explicit dislike for her cousin.

Is there any grudge between the two of them?

This made Roya very curious.

However, if the other party does not want to talk about this kind of personal grudge within the family, Roja will not ask.

"Yeah." Aita nodded without hesitation, "He and I are both the pride of Christ. People in the family keep comparing me with him, which is annoying to death."

"Two prides and so on, how can he compare with me?"

"He's just a few dozen years older than me, and he became a third-level wizard a few years earlier."

"If I hadn't been stuck in the realm in order to enter the trial city, I would have been a third-level wizard decades ago."

"Much more powerful than him!"

For Aita, cousin Gila is like "someone else's good boy".

People in the Crist family always like to compare her with Gila. She has heard words like "Look at Gila, then look at you" thousands of times since she was a child.

But in Aita's eyes, cousin Gila and she were not on the same level at all.

Comparing Gila to her was an insult.

But Roja can understand why the Crist family did that, maybe hoping to arouse Aita's competitive spirit?

Aita is so timid!

She really missed too many opportunities!

The Crist family wanted to prepare dragon blood baptism for her, a ritual that every dragon wizard dreams of, but Aita actually refused because the success rate was only 70%?

If Aita completed the dragon blood baptism and obtained the bloodline of a pure dragon, and could use the power of the dragon spirit without relying on witchcraft, Roja could not imagine how powerful Aita would be.

Even Nan En is probably no match for her, right?

As the first genius in the history of the Crist family, how many opportunities did Etta miss because of her twisted character?

How heartbroken are the Crist family members?

"I finally entered the trial city. I will immediately retreat to reach the third level. What about you? You really don't plan to participate in the magic machine trial? I think your success rate is quite high." Aita said.

"Magic Machine Trial?..."

Roja looked down at the rippling wine in the wine glass and remained silent.

In the gathering of Yanyuan Realm trialists just now, there was one person who made him very concerned.

That was from the Cold Spirit Witch Realm, one of the four major witch realms in the Flame Source Realm—Wizard Fergo Lawson.

Wizard Fogo is a third-level wizard, but what really makes Roja care is the identity of the other party.

The other party is a god hunter like him!

The God Hunter is no secret to the trialists.

That is to say——

"Aita, how much do you know about the God Hunter?" Roja asked.

"Aren't the God Hunters just a group of people who specialize in hunting the gods? I heard that they can obtain high-level permissions in the Trial City without passing the Magic Machine Trial. That's great." Aita said with envy.

"The soul of the God Hunter is polluted and will never be able to step into the seventh level. Is this worthy of envy?"

"How many wizards can become seventh-level wizards? God Hunters not only have high-level permissions in the Trial City, but also have strength that far exceeds other wizards of the same realm. It's too late to envy. What does it mean if you can't become a seventh-level wizard?"

"Do many people want to become God Hunters?"

"certainly!"

"If you want to become a god hunter, don't you just need to hunt a god of truth?"

"What do you mean by just needing? Do you think there are many Ains of Truth? Even if you encounter the Abomination of Truth, not everyone can absorb the power of the Abomination of Truth. Not even one out of 10,000 wizards may survive."

Roja didn't expect that absorbing the evil of truth would be such a dangerous thing.

When he absorbed it, it was quite simple, right?

In the past, Roja planned to hide his identity as a god hunter because he was afraid of being plotted by others.

Unexpectedly, on the first day after arriving in the Trial City, he saw a second God Hunter besides him.

The attitude of others towards the God Hunter was not as bad as he imagined.

Although he would not take the initiative to spread the fact that he is a God Hunter and make it known to everyone, it is still possible to use this status in exchange for some benefits.

The Crist family was the largest family he knew.

If you want to cooperate, it is best to cooperate with the Crist family.

"Actually, I am also a God Hunter." Roja said.

"Oh, it turns out you are a God Hunter... What? A God Hunter!" The wine glass in Aita's hand suddenly shattered, her eyes were wider than ever before, and she looked at Roja in shock.

It took her a while to calm down.

"Is that so? No wonder you, who kept saying you wanted to become the master of the Demon Machine Domain, suddenly gave up." Aita looked at Roja with a complicated expression.

"Shall we make a deal?"

"trade?"

"I can give you the advanced authority of the God Hunter."

"Ah? What high-level permissions?"

Facing Aita who was stunned with doubts on her face, Roja was also stunned.

Each God Hunter can grant three additional partners advanced permissions in the Trial City... Did he misunderstand?

Is this a reward specially given to him by the Lord of the Demonic Machine Domain?

"Yes, it's like this..." Roja quickly changed his statement, "Every God Hunter has high-level permissions in the Trial City, and can learn all the knowledge in the Trial City for free."

"You should know this, right?"

"When I met with the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain, when the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain wanted to ask me what reward I needed, I thought of you immediately at that time."

"I asked the Lord of the Magic Machine Domain if he could give me an additional high-level permission of the Trial City to give to others..."

After hearing Roja's explanation, Aita suddenly distanced herself from Roja for some reason.

She sat on the chair, holding her knees with her hands, her little body huddled up.

She looked at Roja warily, "Why are you so nice to me? What are your intentions?"

When faced with the reward from the Demon Machine Territory Lord, he actually thought of her immediately?

What does it mean?

Could it be that--

No! impossible!

How could Roja fall in love with her?

Even if Roja really fell in love with her, he wouldn't waste a reward from the Demon Machine Territory Lord to please her, right?

"You think you can make me fall in love with you by doing this? Make me your slave? Let you do whatever you want? You are wrong! It's impossible!" Aita shouted.

"You misunderstood." Roja denied directly.

"No, isn't it? That means you really..."

Aita suddenly blushed and squirmed, "Do you love me so deeply? Are you willing to give up your own future to help me? It turns out that you are the kind of person who can give for free when facing your own love. What type? Since you are voluntary, I can’t say anything. I understand your kindness. I may need your help when I encounter trouble in the future..."

Facing Roya, the "licking dog", Aita commanded him without hesitation.

She doesn't feel guilty at all about using other people's love for her to benefit herself.

Aita looks as cute and cute as a timid little squirrel, but she didn't expect to be the kind of scumbag who treats her spare tire like a dog without any psychological burden, defrauding both feelings and money, which opened Roja's eyes.

But as a selfish wizard, this is natural, right?

"How is that possible!" Roja shook his head.

"Don't you want to be my dog?" Aita lowered her head regretfully.

"Why are you so imaginative?" Roja looked at Aita speechlessly, "I will not give you the high-level permissions of Trial City for free. Can you give me something in exchange for it?"

"this……"

As long as you are a wizard, it is impossible not to be tempted by the advanced permissions of Trial City, which allows you to learn all the knowledge in Trial City for free.

Aita looks timid and afraid of death, but in fact, her inner desire for power is as strong as anyone else.

She will seize every opportunity to become stronger!

The reason why she seems to have given up many opportunities is not that she doesn't want to seize them, but those opportunities are too dangerous!

For example, the dragon blood baptism that every dragon wizard dreams of.

As long as you pass the baptism of dragon blood, you can obtain the pure blood dragon bloodline and the power of the dragon spirit.

But the success rate is only 70%!

Once he fails, he will die or be disabled, and the wizard's future will be ruined!

How could she accept such a risky ritual?

Not to mention the timid Aita, even Roja probably wouldn't have the courage to participate in the dragon's blood baptism.

Once a non-life-threatening opportunity appears in front of her, she will seize it with all her strength!

"Is it something that matches the high-level permissions of Trial City?"

Aita squinted her eyes in thought.

One look at her expression and Roja knew that she had something of equal value that could be exchanged.

But she was hesitating.

Are you hesitant to face the temptation of high-level permissions in Trial City?

What a precious thing it is!

Roja's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

After hesitating for a long time, Aita said with difficulty: "How about giving you a chance to obtain high-level magic power?"

Roja suddenly exclaimed, "Higher magic? Do you have the remains of elves?"

He knew that what Aita took out would be valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so precious! (End of chapter)
