Rise of the Dark Witch

Roya and Butler Polly were chatting and waiting.

"Tick tock...tick tock..."

As the pendulum swings slowly, the time has reached noon before you know it.

Crunch——

The door to the conference room opened.

Pharmacist Paul, Pharmacist Nico, Captain Borg and others came out one by one with solemn expressions on their faces.

Roya waited at the door for a long time, but still didn't see his father coming out.

Knock knock.

After he knocked lightly on the ajar door, when he received no response, he opened the door and walked into the conference room.

All the curtains in the conference room were closed, making the whole room extremely dark.

In the dark and silent room, Deli sat blankly on the chair in the center, his eyes staring at the wall behind the conference room, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the wall behind the conference room, there is a huge mural that covers the entire wall.

The mural depicts a deer walking out of the snow with a herb in its mouth.

Roya stood next to his father Delhi and looked towards the mural.

But all he saw was the herb in the doe's mouth.

Because the doe is the emblem of the Keteri family, the herbs the doe bites were added after his father Delhi married into the family.

"Royal, do you still hate me?" Deli asked suddenly.

hatred?

Roja shook his head.

"I don't hate you, nor do I hate Aunt Siren, I just... don't like the surname Kaitri." Roja said softly.

ten years ago.

Less than half a year after Roya's biological mother passed away, his father Delhi married into the Kaitri family.

Ever since, Delhi, who was born as a commoner and did not even have a surname, had the surname Kaitri.

If she hadn't married Celine Ketri, the last widow of the Ketri knight family, she would have received a lot of money, connections and power assistance.

No matter how business-minded Delhi was, it would not have been possible for it to develop from a small medicinal shop to Kaitri Pharmacy, one of the three major medicinal shops in Silla Town, in just ten years.

Roya, who was only eight years old at the time, didn't understand his father Delhi's actions at all.

He even felt that his father deliberately killed his mother in order to marry Celine Ketri.

From then on, he became obsessed with cultivation and became estranged from his father.

As for his stepmother, Celine Ketri, and his two half-brothers and sisters, he never took the initiative to speak.

It's just that when Roja grew up, especially after awakening his memory, he became much more mature and gradually understood his father's choice back then.

How many people in the world can refuse to marry into a knight family and have a noble surname?

Especially since the only one left in the Kaitli Knight family is Siren Kaitli.

At that time, I don’t know how many people crossed the threshold and wanted to join the Ketri family.

This middle-aged man in Delhi, who is married and has a son, was able to successfully marry into his wife. It is definitely a matter of great luck.

Comprehensible is understandable.

No matter what, Roya couldn't accept Kateri's surname from her stepmother.

Not to mention being proud of the last name Kateri.

"Father, I'm going to visit Wizard Barney on Mink Street." Roya said.

"You're not feeling well yet?" Derry asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, my body has recovered. This trip is just for a final physical examination." Roja replied.

"You really should ask Wizard Barney to take another look." After Derry nodded, he ordered: "The wolf plague has become more and more serious recently. From time to time, lone wolves break into the town and hurt people."

"Many of the hunters who come to Silla Town from other places to help hunt wolves have fiery personalities..."

"The whole Silla Town is in chaos now, so be careful when you go out."

"It's better to take Milo and Ferrand with you to be safe."

Deli arranged a carriage for Roya, accompanied by two guards from the Kaitri family, Milo and Ferrand.

Both of them wore the same style of leather armor and carried cross swords at their waists.

Milo is a tall, thin, middle-aged man with disheveled hair, and his eyes are always looking around cautiously.

Ferrand is much stronger than Milo. He carries a wine bottle around his waist and takes a sip from time to time.

Crunchy...

The carriage drove Roya out of Kaiteri Castle and headed towards Mink Street.

Luo Ya lifted the car curtain and looked out the window at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery.

Silla Town, a once peaceful and quiet remote town, is now shrouded in an extremely depressive atmosphere.

The faces of the pedestrians were solemn and their steps were hurried.

Occasionally, you can see people dressed as hunters with bows, arrows and swords.

Those hunters were in small groups.

Some are planning to go out hunting wild wolves.

Some were walking down the street carrying wild wolves that were still dripping with blood.

Some hunters were missing arms and legs and were helped to the hospital by their partners.

"Ouch——"

"Ouch——"

The howl of wolves coming from a distance made many people tremble with fear.

…

Not long after.

Mink Street has arrived.

Mink Street is a place dedicated to buying medicine and seeing a doctor in Xinluo Town.

There are many medicine shops and medical clinics open.

Nowadays, due to the wolf plague, there are many injured people.

The hospital was crowded with injured patients, and the door of the pharmacy was lined with people buying medicine.

Because there were too many people and it was too crowded, Roja had to get off the carriage and walk.

Under the protection of Milo and Ferrand, Roya walked towards Barney's Hospital located at the deepest part of Mink Street.

Along the way, cries of pain could be heard.

The strong smell of medicine, the pungent smell of blood, the unpleasant smell of sweat, and the smell of the injured's incontinent feces and urine were all mixed together, making me feel nauseated just by smelling it.

Roja covered his mouth and kept moving forward with his head lowered.

However, it took Roya nearly half an hour to walk along the several hundred meters long Mink Street before arriving in front of Barney Medical Center.

Barney Medical Center has far fewer injured patients than other places, and it is also much quieter.

Roja ordered the two guards, Milo and Ferrand, to wait at the door before stepping into Barney's Hospital.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Roja immediately saw a familiar figure.

A stocky man with a beard wearing black armor still stained with blood was walking anxiously in front of a closed door.

Roja walked over quickly.

"Captain Lei Lun, why are you here?"

The bearded uncle turned out to be Lei Lun, the deputy captain of the Silla Town garrison.

Laylan turned his head sharply when he heard the sound.

After seeing it was Roja, his frown relaxed a little.

"Roya, you kid can get out of bed and walk so soon?" Vice Captain Lei Lun gave Roya a bear hug, "I've been too busy recently and haven't been able to find time to see you. Are you okay? "

"It's almost better." Roja looked at the closed door, "Who is inside?"

"It's David, Butch and Varg. They were attacked by wolves while patrolling and were seriously injured. Barney witch doctor is currently treating them." Laylan said in a low voice.

David, Butch and Wagg were all members of the defense team, and Roya knew them all.

David is about the same age as Roja. Since Roja is stronger than David, David has been finding trouble with Roja since he joined the defense team.

Butch is a young man who changes girlfriends every day. Butch, who has a little money at home, is just dawdling in the defense team.

Wag is a warm-hearted uncle with a calm personality. He chatters about trivial matters every day, which makes everyone in the garrison take a detour when they see him.

In the past, Roya might have hated David who was looking for trouble, couldn't stand Butch's style, and was afraid of Wagg's nagging.

But now that they were seriously injured and dying, when he thought that these three acquaintances he had known for a long time might die, his heart beat faster and faster uncontrollably, and sweat continued to appear on his forehead.

"It'll be okay, they won't die!"

These words of Roja were meant to comfort Vice Captain Lei Lun, and also to comfort himself.
