Rise of the Dark Witch

In the following days, Roja practiced hard every day as usual, as if nothing had happened.

It's just that there was a grudge between him and Governor Craigie after all.

To be precise, Governor Craigie actively alienated Roya.

In the past, Governor Craigie would have heart-to-heart conversations with Roja every few days, and they would always smile.

Now, we don't necessarily see each other once a month. Every time we meet, they are all smiling and indifferent.

But it makes no difference to Roya.

No matter what happens, he won't change.

He still practices hard day and night, and he still uses Qing Yuan Liquid on time.

As time passed, his magic resistance became stronger and stronger, and of course more and more toxins accumulated in his body.

At the back, even his face was covered with unknown blue-black lines.

In addition to the enhancement of magic power resistance, Luo Ya's "Qingyuan Health Method" and "Guan Shen Jue" have made different progress.

After using many medicines and agents that are beneficial to strengthening the internal organs, Luo Ya's Qingyuan health regimen has reached the sixth level. Now it only takes three months to eliminate the toxins in a bottle of Qingyuan liquid.

And as he continued to practice the God-Observing Technique, his brain became more and more powerful.

When he exercises his brain to a certain extent, in addition to improving his memory, concentration and sixth sense, he also has the ability to read other people's minds by reading their brain waves.

He can sense other people's brain waves and perceive other people's inner thoughts by analyzing the brain waves.

However, his mind-reading skills are still very low-level. He can only read the other person's mood and know whether the other person is happy or sad, angry or scared. He cannot yet read the other person's specific inner thoughts.

However, Luo Ya believes that as he continues to practice the Guan Shen Jue, his brain will continue to become stronger, and one day he will be able to fully read the specific thoughts of others.

The days passed.

Unknowingly, Roja has been staying in Hain Port for more than a year.

The long-awaited day has finally arrived.

Under the leadership of Governor Craigie, Roya and Long came to the edge of the Roni River wearing undecorated black wizard robes and carrying a witchcraft oil lamp.

Snowflakes are falling.

A cold wind blows.

His breath turned into white mist and scattered in all directions.

In the cold winter morning, the surroundings were so quiet, as if there were only the three of them in the whole world.

Governor Craigie looked towards the river.

In the cold winter, ice crystals flashed on the river surface.

"The next step is to go to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for the final wizard trial. I hope to see you come back alive in three years."

"Go ahead."

Governor Craigie's tone was so weak.

He didn't need to wait three years before he could already see the ending.

Another session destined to fail.

Why did Leif and Brand, whom he was optimistic about, die?

In the end, it turned out that Yu Luoya and Long En, two miscellaneous fish who did not look like and could not become wizards, went to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave to accept the final trial?

"well."

Governor Craigie sighed, his already gray beard becoming even grayer.

Roya and Long on the side pretended not to notice Governor Craigie's thoughts.

Roya and Long, who were ready, looked at each other and poured their vitality and spiritual power into the witchcraft oil lamp.

The witchcraft oil lamp, fueled by vitality and spiritual power, lit up a dim blue light with the movements of Roja and Long.

The moment the witchcraft oil lamp was lit, the fog suddenly became thicker.

A white cold mist appeared out of thin air, and in just a few breaths, the whole world was enveloped by the mist.

In the world of mist, all sounds gradually fade away.

Long En, who was standing less than one meter away from Roja, had completely disappeared.

It's not as simple as being shrouded in fog, so you can't see it.

The whole person has completely disappeared!

Roja felt as if he had come to a world with only mist, in which he was the only one standing alone.

In this silent world without any sounds or creatures, Roja couldn't help but hold the witchcraft oil lamp in his hand tightly.

Once the witchcraft oil lamp goes out, he will be lost in this foggy world forever.

Wow——

The sound of water flowing through came from the depths of the mist.

The witchcraft oil lamp burning with faint blue light in Roja's hand was like a lighthouse on the coast, indicating the path for a certain existence deep in the fog.

While Roja was waiting nervously and anxiously, a small boat sailed out from the depths of the fog and stopped in front of Roja.

Roja looked at the boatman rowing the boat.

It was an old man with a body as skinny as a skeleton, staring at Roja with his blank eyes, unable to feel any breath of life.

A living person?

Or a humanoid puppet?

After staring for a while, Roja took a deep breath, walked onto the boat with the witchcraft oil lamp, and stood still at the bow.

"Crash-"

The boatman slid the oar, and the boat slowly sailed deeper into the mist.

The fog was so thick that you couldn't see anything around you.

The bone-piercing cold wind kept blowing.

The blue flame in the witchcraft oil lamp kept swaying in the cold wind.

Roja, who was only wearing a wizard's black robe, felt like his body was freezing inside and out.

In this silent world of mist, only the clatter of the oars echoed in my ears, and only the witchcraft oil lamp in my hand provided the only source of light.

When Roja was thinking about when he would arrive at his destination.

The fog gradually dissipated.

Roya could vaguely see a little bit of blue light in the distance.

"Are they other people taking part in the wizard trials?"

When the fog completely dissipated, Roja found that the sky had completely darkened.

He was sailing in a small boat in a vast sea with no end in sight.

There was no light in the dark sky, only an ominous aura that was darker than darkness kept surging.

Looking towards the sea, the deep seabed seems to be connected to the abyss, which makes people feel fearful.

Roja looked around and could vaguely see a small boat with a blue light shining on its bow.

Those boats seemed not far away from him, but they gave people an untouchable distance as if they were a world away.

Roja withdrew his gaze and focused on the witchcraft oil lamp.

Crash--

The oars continued to row on the sea, creating waves.

Little stars emerge in the sea.

The starlight gradually increased, and soon it turned into billions of light points, as if there was a Milky Way in the sea, and it looked extremely gorgeous.

Starlight flows in the ocean like ocean currents.

The boat rowed along the sea surface, gathering with the stars.

At first, Roja thought those stars were glowing creatures in the sea.

When he got closer and could observe the source of the starlight, Roja's eyes suddenly widened.

Those light spots that look like starlight are not starlight at all, but the light from candles.

The burning candles are floating in the sea water, flowing with the ocean currents, like a river of stars.

Roja stared at the candles.

He sensed that these were no ordinary candles.

Sure enough, as he concentrated, he saw an outline beneath the water.

That's people!

Men, women, old, young... people dressed in ancient costumes were lying in the sea with solemn faces and eyes closed, holding burning candles in their hands and placing them on their chests in a prayer gesture.

These people from ancient times are drifting forever in unknown waters with candles in their hands, not knowing when the end will be.

A dead soul?

Is it a resentful soul sealed in the sea?

Or was it made a sacrifice by an evil and powerful wizard for some unknown purpose?

Looking at the figures that were rising and falling with the sea water, Roja felt that his vision was getting blurry for some reason, as if his eyes were filled with eye drops.

After he couldn't bear it any longer, he blinked.

All the figures disappeared, and there were only candles emitting warm light in the sea.

"Is it an illusion?"

Roja didn't know, but he didn't intend to delve into it.

He just hid this doubt deep in his heart, and then looked into the distance as if he hadn't seen anything.

The boat moved forward in the sea following the galaxy of candlelight.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

A towering pitch-black mountain appeared in front of Roja's eyes.

Because the mountain was made of unknown black stones and there were no light sources around, Roja didn't notice this mountain standing in the middle of the sea until it was only a few hundred meters away.

The boat swayed and shook, and stopped at the port at the foot of the mountain.

Destination arrived.
