dark witches rise

The banquet that lasted for three days and three nights finally came to an end.

The crowd dispersed.

The business begins.

Roja and King Hulda walked in the vast passage leading to the depths of the ground.

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

Generally, when discussing serious matters, they would find a solemn and solemn place to sit down and discuss in detail, or they would discuss at a banquet while drinking and eating.

In the Ash Empire, they talked while walking.

There is no such cumbersome etiquette at all, and it does not look like one of the five great empires of Shenwa Wuyu.

However, the Gray Bone Empire, as a collection of many alien tribes, the weakest existence of the five great empires, a force supported by gray wizards, and the bottom of the chain of contempt in the Shenwa Wuyu domain, cannot ask for too much.

And Roja quite likes the Ashbones Empire's way of doing things.

Roja talked about his purpose of coming to the Ashbones Empire this time, while King Hulda listened intently, nodding from time to time.

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

"In about 20 years, the day of accumulating demons will come, and the blood embryo of the demon god will be born, and the entire Saint Luo Empire will become a battlefield for third-level wizards."

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

"It's a third-level wizard who can smooth hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land with a wave of his hand, and move tens of hundreds of times the speed of sound!"

"At that time, it will not be a third-level wizard, but nearly ten third-level wizards will fight, and the second-level wizards may be killed by the aftermath of the attack, let alone ordinary people?"

"As the great emperor of the Holy Luo Empire, I certainly cannot just sit and watch my people die, so I made preparations decades ago."

"Attempts have already begun to migrate people from the Holy Luo Empire to live in the wasteland for a period of time, and return after the day of accumulating demons is over."

"But the population is too much, and there are too many monsters in the wasteland."

"Our Saint Luo Empire only has a hundred or so wizard apprentices and tens of thousands of great knights. It is impossible for such people to protect a population of more than one billion people from the many dangers in the wasteland."

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

"I don't have many requirements, a few first-levels, hundreds of apprentices, and tens of thousands of great knights, it's almost enough."

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

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

He spoke slowly:

"You should know something about the endless wasteland, right? The dryads are planting magic plants everywhere, expanding the scope of the endless wasteland, and encroaching on our human territory bit by bit."

"If it's just a first-level magic plant, you only need to destroy the first-level magic plant. It's troublesome but not impossible."

"The second-level magic plant will not work. Once the second-level magic plant is formed, it will be integrated with thousands of existing second-level magic plants. Unless you can destroy thousands of second-level magic plants in one go, otherwise Can't kill any secondary magic strain."

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

King Hulda sighed.

"Our Gray Bone Empire is located near the endless wasteland, and we are fighting on the front line against the endless wasteland."

"In the past few years, facing the invasion of dryads, we have become more and more powerless. In the hundreds of years of my reign, the dryads have planted three second-level magic plants."

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

"It's in the Pita Treant Kingdom deep in the Pita Mountains not far from the Gray Bone Empire."

The endless wasteland is the power of the dryads, and the dryads in it are not united as one.

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

The dryads in the endless wasteland are also divided into large and small forces. The kingdom of the dryads in the depths of the Pita Mountains is a second-rate force among the many forces of the dryads.

Although there is not even a second-level magic plant in the Pita Treant Kingdom, dozens of first-level magic plants are planted. Once the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant is successful, the Pita Treant Kingdom will become an endless desert. The first-class dryad force in the forest.

Facing the second-rate power of the tree spirits, the Bita Dryad Kingdom, if the human side tries to stop it with all their strength, their second-level magic plant promotion ceremony will never be successful.

Humans, however, are not such easily united creatures.

Because the Bita Treant Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of the Ashbone Empire, the Graybone Empire should theoretically deal with it.

If the Gray Bones Empire thinks it can't handle it, ask other forces for help?

Those forces will definitely open their mouths to the Lions of the Gray Bone Empire!
Make Ash Empire pay an extremely heavy price!

It is obviously to stop the dryad, and everything they do is for the sake of human beings, why can't they help the Ashbone Empire?

There are two reasons.

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

Second, because the Gray Bone Empire is a force supported by gray wizards.

The identity of a foreigner is already at the bottom of the human race's contempt chain. When surrounded by the forces of black wizards, a country that has turned to gray wizards?
Who are you not targeting?
Although the ancient kingdom of Qianlin is not a black wizard, the ancient kingdom of Qianlin is the power of the green wizard, a good guy in the wizarding world, and the green wizard is one of the four-color wizards.

What is a gray wizard?
It's just a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats!

People hate gray wizards, not only because gray wizards are weak.

It's even more because the gray wizard has no bottom line!

Black, white, green, and red wizards all have their own philosophy of doing things, and there are certain rules for how they behave.

The gray wizard is a collection of lunatics!
Gray wizards don't have any ideas!

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

This has led to gray wizards often doing things that break through the lower limit, such as colluding with other races to murder the same race.

Although the Ashbone Empire is the front line against the dryads, the Graybone Empire is a force secretly supported by the gray wizards, and many of the gray wizards work closely with the dryads.

When Roya was still an apprentice, he was attacked by gray wizards and dryads.

On the one hand, shouting slogans against dryads.

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

How does this make people believe in gray wizards?
Why do you like Empire of Ashes?

Team up with the Ash Empire to fight the dryads?Aren't you afraid that the gray wizard from the Ashbone Empire will take the opportunity to stab him fiercely in the back?

Therefore, Roja does not sympathize with what happened to the Ashbones Empire.

However, Roja still decided to cooperate with Ashbones Empire.

Because the gray bone empire's contribution to resisting the dryads over the years is obvious to all, the gray wizards who support the gray bone empire behind their backs should not be the same faction as the gray wizards who should cooperate with the dryads.

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

He patted his chest directly and said proudly:

"The dryads are our common enemy. Isn't it natural to fight the dryads and prevent them from holding the second-level magic plant promotion ceremony?"

"I will fight this battle!"

"But it's not as a thank you for your willingness to help me, brother Hulda, but to join the battle as a human being!"

"The thank you will be counted separately!"

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

"I absolutely can't let Brother Hulda help me for nothing."

King Hulda was deeply moved by Roja's words.

Thinking back when he was fighting the tree spirits, he begged his grandpa and grandma everywhere for help, but those forces either looked on coldly, or the lion opened his mouth.

Roja directly patted his chest and agreed.

No request was made.

This is something he couldn't imagine before.

He took a deep breath and patted Roja's shoulder, "Haha, with your help, brother Roja, I'm sure we can successfully prevent the promotion ceremony of the second-level magic plant in the Bita Treant Kingdom this time."

"As for the cooperation between us..."

"Don't be so anxious. It won't be too late to talk about cooperation after you see the 'gift' I gave you."

Roja had some doubts in his heart.

Cooperation?

Gift?

There was no expression on his face.

"Brother Hulda, did you give me a gift? Haha, let me look forward to it."

Soon.

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

Led by King Hulda, Roja came to a huge door hundreds of meters high.

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

Magic power circulated in the door, and magic lines flowing with fiery magic power emerged on the door.

Rumbling--

Accompanied by a huge roar, the heavy stone gate hundreds of meters high slowly opened.

Pale cold air escaped from the crack in the door.

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

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

In the cold room, several people were already standing.

Everyone exudes a secondary atmosphere!
Everyone is a second-level powerhouse!
Several of them were aliens like King Hulda.

But there are a few people who wear gray robes and are members of the Gray Wizard.

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

After everyone gets to know each other once.

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

The moment Roja entered this room, he noticed something like a hill placed in the room.

Those are the remains of overlord-level monsters!

There are seven in total!

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

Even if a Overlord level monster is successfully killed, the body of the Overlord level monster will become tattered.

However, the remains of the seven overlord-level monsters here are all very complete, with only a small part damaged.

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

Roja guessed that these overlord monster corpses were the spoils of battle with the dryads in the endless wasteland.

As the son of Mori, the dryad has the ability to control plants and beasts.

Almost every second-level dryad controls a dominator-level monster.

As the front line of the battle against the dryads, the Gray Bone Empire must often fight against the overlord-level monsters. When they win, they can occasionally kill and get the corpses of the 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.

The wizard apprentice stood in front of these overlord-level monsters, and he probably couldn't stand firmly.

Legendary monsters would definitely run away screaming when they sensed 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 him these seven overlord-level monsters must be because he knew that his wizard was the Phantom of Returning to the Origin, right?
The use of homing apparitions requires spell-casting components.

Returning to the source apparition without the casting materials is a garbage witchcraft with no use.

The phantom of returning to the source with powerful spell-casting materials can give wizards the ability to kill enemies across levels.

The illusion of returning to the source is a witchcraft with extremely high and low limits.

But the further you go to the back, the more difficult it is to obtain the spell-casting materials, the more difficult it is to find them, and the longer it takes.

Over the years, Roja has been busy doing various things, and he has no time and energy to find and make materials for returning to the source illusion.

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

The same comes from the contract Warcraft Bone Roar Beast.

The same pure-blooded giant dragon from the second-level witch medicine true dragon blood embryo.

The same comes from the three-headed hellhound who held the key to the sixth floor of Wanmo Nest when he participated in the third magic machine trial.

Now King Hulda directly puts the corpses of seven overlord-level monsters that can be made into spell-casting materials in front of his eyes, and threatens to give them to him.

How could he not be moved?

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

In front of a huge black spider that is nearly 100 meters high even if it is lying on its stomach.

"This overlord monster with 32 eyes and [-] legs is the Shadow Demon Spider."

"It's a terrifying monster that hides in the shadows and waits for an opportunity to attack the enemy."

"Don't look at its huge size, when it uses its ability to turn into a shadow and move, it will be difficult for a second-level wizard with strong perception to find its trace."

"Besides, it is so huge that it can hide in the small shadow of the dryad. It moved with the dryad, and it caused us a great loss back then."

In front of a dragon monster with a length of 500 meters and three huge dragon horns on its head, even though it has been dead for many years, it still faintly exudes a trace of dragon power.

"This is Triceratops."

"The name may seem mediocre, but it possesses the power and defense at the pinnacle of the overlord-level monster. When a second-level wizard hits it with all its strength, it can only cause a skin wound, and this skin wound will heal itself 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 came to a giant snake with six heads, each head was 1000 meters long, and the total length of the body reached [-] meters.

"Six-headed snake, each head has a kind of ability, you must cut off six heads at the same time to kill it."

"At the beginning, six of our second-level powerhouses joined forces to fight it fiercely for three days and three nights, and finally found a chance to cut off its six heads."

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

They came to the fourth overlord monster.

It was an ant with wings, and it was the most "petite" of all the overlord monsters present, with a body length of less than 100 meters.

"The red-spotted ant queen, although she is the weakest, she has one ability, that is, to lay eggs. The ants hatched from each egg are first-class lord-level monsters!"

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

"If it weren't for the limit of its spawning, after reaching the limit, it would have to wait for the previously laid eggs to die before continuing to produce. 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-type monster.

The whole monster is 300 meters long and slender, like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

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

"It is clearly in the sea with great resistance, but it can swim at a terrifying speed of ten or twenty times the speed of sound."

Immediately afterwards, he came to the last two monsters.

One is an extremely huge tortoise that looks like a small island.

One is 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 attack power, but its defense power is very strong."

"This island turtle helped the tree spirit to transport things at sea back then. It was like a mobile island in the sea. Its elusive presence brought us great trouble."

"It took a lot of effort to kill this second-level island turtle."

"The monster that turned into stone and resembled a plant is a tree snake, a special monster between plants and monsters."

"Possessing the wisdom and attacking desire of a monster, but possessing the tenacious vitality of a plant, it is extremely difficult to deal with."

"In the end, it was sealed by 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 represents the huge sacrifice that the Ashbone Empire once made to resist the tree spirit.

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

After briefly introducing the corpses of the seven overlord-level monsters present.

King Hulda said to Roja: "Are you satisfied with this gift, brother Roja?"

Roja didn't nod immediately.

The complete corpses of seven overlord-level monsters, this gift is too grand for him, whose sorcery is the phantom of returning to the source.

He couldn't help thinking.

Why did King Hulda give him this generous gift?
He and King Hulda had only met for the first time, and they had only known each other for three days!

The two hit it off?
This kind of reason is okay to deceive children.

He remembered the battle between Qiao Nuo and Marshal Gangda at the reception a few days ago.

It was just an ordinary match, but King Hulda actually offered the incomparably precious Nine-Life Jade Blood Snake as a reward?
From then on, Roja felt a little abnormal.

Up to now, this abnormal feeling has reached the extreme. (end of this chapter)
