dark witches rise

Roja must have a hole card that can save his life!
What is the bottom card?
they pondered.

As a botanical wizard, Roja met Beresi, a third-level wizard from Qianlin Ancient Kingdom, not long ago.

Maybe he learned the green-robed wizard's life-saving skill - the seed of origin from the wizard Berecy?
The original seed is the seed that can regenerate the wizard after the body dies.

It is a life-saving magical skill comparable to the life gate of the soul!

Roja is not afraid of them because he has learned the original seed?
But if they are reborn with the help of the original seed, they will be in a weak state for a very long period of time, so even if they can be reborn with the help of the original seed, no wizard will take the initiative to seek death unless it is absolutely necessary.

Regardless of whether Roja's hidden life-saving is the original seed or not, they all know——

Roja has the means to survive!

Once they choose to turn against Roja, but fail to kill Roja, if Roja escapes...

Their Ash Empire will meet the wrath of a third-level wizard in the near future!

But, maybe Roja didn't think that much at all?
Maybe he really doesn't have any hole cards?
If Roja was just putting on airs, but they were deceived in the end...

How to do?
All eyes fell on the gray wizard Selip.

Gray Wizard Selip communicated with his companions using sight.

After a while, they had an answer.

"Emperor Roja, your request to cooperate with me is not unacceptable."

"But if it's just ordinary cooperation, what I can give you with my authority is limited. As a student of the Magic Machine Academy, you probably don't like what I have here."

"Unless..." the gray wizard Selip narrowed his eyes slightly, "unless you can come up with something that even the Strange Mist Graycastle behind me would be tempted to trade!"

"Can Graycastle Strange Mist move your heart?" Roja rubbed his chin and thought.

Those who can agree to his request for the gray wizard Selip are at least third-level wizards.

Is there anything about him that can make a third-level wizard's heart flutter?

to be frank--

Really!
It's a pity that those things are secrets, and it is absolutely impossible to trade them.

At least he won't trade with a mere third-level wizard.

"I don't quite understand what you mean, can you give me a hint? What do I have to come up with before you are willing to cooperate with me?" Roja asked.

"Emperor Roja, you have passed the third magic machine trial and entered the Magic Machine Academy, right?"

"Yes."

"The Third Magic Machine Academy should be held in the Luna World, right?"

"Yes."

"When you were in the Luna World, as a talented pharmacist, did you ever think about collecting the power of the Luna to refine it into medicine?"

"..."

Roja never expected that the gray wizard Selip would ask this question.

Could it be that the other party knew that he brought back the potions of the moon spirit essence from the moon phase world?

Want him to take out these potions and trade them?
After Roja pondered for a while, he replied:
"The power of the moon god is too tempting. Wouldn't it be a pity if you can only practice in the moon phase world?"

"So you have tried it? How did it end?" Gray Wizard Selip asked.

"...It worked."

"Really?"

"Before I left the moon phase world, I slaughtered the lives of the moon phase world, collected the flesh and blood of the moon phase residents, and finally used [-] million pieces of flesh and blood per bottle as raw materials to refine thirteen bottles of the second-level potion, the moon spirit essence."

Roja's words made Gray Wizard Selip's fists clenched instantly.

This is certainly not because Roja brutally slaughtered more than one billion lives for the essence of the moon spirit.

These people are not so kind.

The reason why they are excited is because of the essence of the moon spirit itself!
The essence of the moon spirit contained in the power of the moon god has the effect of speeding up the cohesion of the domain base. It can be said to be a rare potion that every wizard of the first level of tattoos dreams of!
Every bottle of Moon Spirit Essence released can trigger a frenzied scramble among wizards in the primary realm!

This rare potion Roja actually made it?

"Is there something for us to see?"

"I happen to have two bottles with me."

Roja reached into his robe and slowly took out a bottle of Moon Spirit Essence.

The moment he took out the essence of the moon spirit, one after another extremely hot eyes fell on his hands, and he felt that the hand holding the essence of the moon spirit was ignited with hot flames.

Facing the longing gaze of the gray wizard Selip, Roja slowly let go of the hand holding the essence of the moon spirit.

"call--"

The essence of the moon spirit in Roja's hand floated slowly from his hand, and flew towards the gray wizard Selip.

The gray wizard Selip stretched out his trembling hands towards the floating moon spirit essence.

His hands trembled as he extended them.

When his fingertips touched the potion bottle, his hands instantly became extremely stable.

He carefully caught the essence of the moon spirit, and carefully checked the efficacy of the essence of the moon spirit.

The more he checked, the more fascinated he looked.

After a long time, he reluctantly returned the moon spirit essence to Roja.

"Don't you want to get the moon spirit essence from me?" Roja asked in surprise.

Roja is aware of the great allure of the moon spirit essence.

The greed for the essence of the moon spirit in the eyes of the gray wizard Selip and others cannot be hidden from him at all.

However, despite the reluctance of the gray wizard Selip, he returned the essence of the moon spirit to him.

In other words, isn't the gray wizard Selip's goal the moon spirit essence in his hand?

Roja stared at the gray wizard Selip with a questioning gaze.

He didn't ask directly, because he believed that the other party would only be more anxious than him.

really.

The gray wizard Selip couldn't hold back soon.

"The power of the moon god is an extremely magical and powerful force."

"It can extremely quickly increase the cohesion speed of the domain base, and can help the wizards of the initial pattern to condense the tenth domain base, so that the strength of the domain can reach a perfect level, and lay a solid foundation for the future understanding of the power of the rules to step into the sixth-level realm. "

"The power of the Moon God can only be condensed by the true god-level powerhouses of the Moon God family. The number of the Moon God family is extremely rare, and they are all under the control of major forces."

"It's a powerful and pathetic family."

"Our Gray Castle of Strange Mist can only be regarded as a second-rate force in the whole world, and we can't get a living true god-level moon god at all."

"However, if it is the dead Moon God who was abandoned by those first-rate powers..."

The gray wizard Selip took out a bottle emitting faint moonlight from the depths of his gray robe.

In the transparent bottle, there are some glowing sands.

With just one glance, Roja recognized what was in the bottle.

The gray wizard Selip shook the bottle in his hand and said with a smile:

"Does it look familiar?"

"The power emitted by these sands is very similar to the power of the moon god, right?"

"Just as you imagined."

The gray wizard Selip stared at the bottle in his hand and said with emotion:
"Our Gray Castle of Strange Mist spent huge sums of money to purchase the remains of the dead Luna from those first-class powerful forces. These Luna sands were collected from the remains of the Luna."

"Although it can't be compared with the Luna World where you experienced the third magic machine trial, these Luna sandy soils can increase the cultivation speed of the first two layers of grain, and they are extremely precious treasures."

"But……"

"Too little."

"Such a waste."

"The moon god's sand contains an extremely huge power of the moon god, but we can only use a little bit of it overflowing."

"So we have always been committed to refining the power of the moon god contained in the sand of the moon god, just like the essence of the moon spirit in your hand."

"After spending an unknown amount of time and energy, we finally came to a conclusion."

"Only by using the power of the moon god to condense the second-level wizards of the tenth realm base, can it be possible to refine the power of the moon god in the sand of the moon god."

"Although the success rate is not high..."

"I believe that as a genius pharmacist, you who have refined the essence of the moon spirit in the world of the moon god will be able to succeed."

"As long as you can refine the power of the moon god in the sand of the moon god, and refine it into a second-level potion with effects similar to the essence of the moon spirit in your hand, then we can cooperate as you said."

Gray Wizard Selip's request has been clearly stated.

Roja did not expect that they would even have a way to get the dead remains of the Moon God.

However, there must be a reason for the first-class forces to sell the remains of the moon god to their gray wizards. As for the reason... what does it have to do with him?
Roja put all his attention on the cooperation in front of him.

Extracting the power of the moon god from the sandy soil of the moon god is not so difficult.

Roja believes that as long as he is willing to specialize in research, success is only a matter of time.

The problem is that--

how much time is required?
He is very busy now!

According to his experience in the world of moon phases, if he wanted to use the sandy soil of the moon god to refine the essence of the moon spirit, he would have to study for tens or hundreds of years at least day and night.

Don't look at how easy it is for him to refine the essence of the moon spirit.

You must know that the essence of the moon spirit in his hand is refined from the flesh and blood of the residents of the moon phase world and the core of the moon beast, and any second-level pharmacist can refine it with a little time.

Using the Luna Sand Soil to refine the Moon Spirit Essence...

It is equivalent to him refining the essence of the moon spirit with the soil and sand in the moon phase world, which is hundreds or thousands of times more difficult!
It seems that he can only regretfully refuse.

"This matter is really too difficult, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it..."

"Emperor Roja, you may have misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding what?"

"We didn't simply hand over the Luna Sand Soil to you, and then asked you to study how to extract the Luna Power from the Luna Sand Soil from the beginning to the end."

"what?"

"Haha, if you think about it carefully, you should understand, right? This kind of thing is impossible for a single genius, right?"

"...That's right."

"Through thousands of years of research by many pharmacists in Strange Mist and Greycastle, we have successfully researched the prescription, but due to the difficulty of refining it, very few pharmacists can do it."

"Does it mean that you are willing to take out the prescription that you have worked so hard to research?"

"That's for sure, otherwise let you study it yourself? But we must sign a contract, and you can't leak the prescription."

"no problem."

Roja nodded in agreement.

If he was allowed to study from scratch, it would take tens to hundreds of years.

Where did he waste so much time on such things?
But if the other party is willing to show the prescription and refining method for his reference, it will be quite different.

Maybe he won't even need a month to successfully use the moon god's sand to refine the essence of the moon spirit!
"But before you really cooperate, you must show me a little sincerity."

"What sincerity?"

"I want to get all the information you have collected about the endless wasteland! Especially how to separate the secondary magic plant from the main body!"

The strongest thing in the endless wasteland is the ancient root of the earth, which is a second-level magic plant.

It's just a second-level magic plant, no matter how strong it is, it's only a second-level.

However, the endless wasteland can become a force on the same level as the Shenwa Wuyu!

That's because the ancient roots of the earth will branch!
The branched plants become thousands of second-level magic plants, and then the vitality of these thousands of second-level magic plants are connected in parallel. As long as there is one undead, all other second-level magic plants can be resurrected.

The vitality of plant monsters is extremely tenacious.

Like the second-level magic plant, the roots stretch for hundreds of kilometers, as long as there is one root that has not been destroyed, it can continue to regenerate and resurrect.

Even if a third-level wizard wants to completely kill a second-level magic plant, it will take a long time.

Not to mention thousands of secondary magic plants?
The endless wasteland has an area of ​​tens of billions of square kilometers. Unless it can cover tens of billions of square kilometers with one blow and destroy thousands of second-level magic plants at the same time, it is impossible to destroy the endless wasteland.

Even a fourth-level wizard can't do this kind of thing, right?
If they just unleash an attack covering tens of billions of square kilometers, level four wizards still have a way to do it.

But while covering such a large area, it is impossible to have the attack power to kill thousands of second-level magic plants.

Is there really only one way to destroy the endless wasteland?

Isn't it possible to strip out the secondary magic plants that have been connected in parallel one by one?
the answer is--

you can!

As difficult as it is, there is a way!
Roja learned the principle from the library of Magic Machine Academy.

He just knows the principle, and the specific method needs to be studied by himself.

Although there is a lot of knowledge in the library of the Magic Machine Academy, most of them are principles, and the specific practical methods are not recorded, which is similar to the college textbooks in the previous life.

Unless he finds a fourth-level tutor of the Department of Plants and Department of Life, and gets the chance to meet with the tutor himself and ask questions in person.

It's a pity that too many magic crystals are needed!
Others are poor and can't afford it!

So he can only study by himself.

He already has an idea, but he can't guarantee the success.

If it succeeds, that is naturally the best.

If it fails, it’s okay, just treat it as social practice.

Unexpectedly, at this time, someone would give us help in a timely manner—the Gray Wizard of Strange Mist Castle!
He believes that the Ashbone Empire and the Gray Wizards who have been fighting against the endless wasteland for so long must have studied the endless wasteland very carefully, and must know how to strip off the second-level magic plants one by one, so as to slowly destroy the endless wasteland !

He wants this knowledge.

Facing Roja's request, Gray Wizard Selip nodded and agreed after thinking for a while.

"About our cooperation, I need to ask the higher authorities for instructions. Please wait a few days in Ash Empire."

the conference has ended.

Roja and King Hulda walked side by side on the exit passage.

If King Hulda and others did something just now, and Roja had no way to escape, what would happen to Roja?

If it's just death, maybe it's a good ending.

There is a high probability that he will not even die, and will become the research object of the gray wizards, and life is better than death.

And all of this was deliberately plotted against him by the seemingly rough and unscheming King Hulda.

However, neither Roja nor King Hulda regarded this incident as having never happened.

As a second-level wizard, he casually trusts another second-level strongman whom he has known for a few days, and follows that second-level strongman to a place where it is reasonable to say that as long as the other party makes a murderous attempt, ten deaths are guaranteed. place of birth.

If this second-level wizard falls because of this, will others pity him?
Absolutely not!

People will just laugh at him for being an idiot!
Roja didn't care about King Hulda plotting against him.

Because this world is so cruel.

Either you plot against me or I plot against you, only the strong can go to the end.

At least King Hulda didn't take him to the crisis-ridden conference hall by force, but followed him himself.

And he got what he wanted too.

As long as the result is good, that's enough.

If King Hulda used space props to forcibly bring him into that meeting hall, then even if he had reached a cooperation with the gray wizard, he would definitely take revenge on King Hulda afterwards!

"For the details of the cooperation between the Holy Luo Empire and the Ash Empire, go talk to Jono."

"Before Gray Wizard Selip comes back, I will use this time to refine the seven overlord-level beasts you sent me into spell-casting materials."

After Roja and King Hulda said goodbye to each other, they parted.

……

In the depths of the Ash Empire.

In a room filled with gray mist, stood a dark door exuding an ominous atmosphere.

Selip in a gray robe walked towards the dark door step by step.

He passed through the pitch-black gate and came into a world of gray fog so thick that he couldn't see his fingers.

He took out a small flute and played it lightly.

The leisurely sound of the flute spread into the distance.

Soon.

The gray fog in the distance rolled violently, as if something huge was approaching.

call--

A gigantic whale with a length of one thousand meters swam silently from the depths of the gray mist, and opened its huge mouth capable of devouring everything to the gray wizard Selip.

The gray wizard Selip didn't make any resistance, and let the giant whale swallow him in one gulp.

The giant whale closed its mouth.

Then the tail flapped lightly, and the figure turned 180 degrees, returning to the direction it came from.

"Huh?"

"Reached?"

Gray Wizard Selip rubbed his eyes.

This kind of consciousness fell into a blank, and the feeling that he had gone to another place when he came back to his senses, no matter how many times he experienced it, he could not adapt to it.

At this time, painful screams came to his ears from the earth.

"Ahhh-"

"Whoa whoa-"

"Quack quack—"

Gray Wizard Selip is now in a floating city.

This floating city is like the sun, exuding a dazzling and gentle light.

These lights shine on the earth, giving the earth vitality, and allowing life on the earth to survive.

"Compared to living, maybe they want to die more?"

Gray Wizard Selip looked down at the land below.

The endless ground is bare, no plants or animals can be seen, and there is only one person.

People who were planted on the ground like radishes!

The lower body of those people is integrated with the earth, and the upper body is exposed on the ground.

The distorted face is howling in pain!

How many of these people are planted on the earth like radishes?

Ten billion?

Hundreds of billions?

Trillion?

Or even more?
Just looking at those people and listening to their wailing, Selip, who was as strong as a second-level wizard, was affected by the pain and despair that seemed to be the same in his heart, and his face was actually stained with despair and pain.

It's just that the envy in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

"Believe in the Kingdom of God..."

"When will I reach this realm!"

After the wizard reaches the fourth level, he needs to use the power of faith to open up the world of mind.

When do people believe in gods?
How can people's belief in gods be firm and pure?
the answer is--

The more desperate, painful and hopeless people are, the more they will grasp at the last straw.

Even if that life-saving straw is an illusory god!
What if the gods who reached out to them were not illusory?

Does it really exist?
Then their faith will be firm to the point where it cannot be added!

Everyone is a fanatic!

Therefore, in order to obtain sufficient and pure power of faith, the fourth-level wizards will establish a kingdom of faith.

There are many kinds of beliefs in the Kingdom of God.

The most widespread belief in the Kingdom of God is called the Kingdom of God.

It is to raise people like domestic animals, and maintain their lives at a minimum.

Then use spiritual witchcraft to plunge them into an eternal illusion.

In the illusion, they experienced pain, reincarnated in endless despair, longed for the salvation of the gods, and offered the purest power of faith for the fourth-level wizards to open up the world of mind.

"Is it possible for me to reach the fourth level in my life?"

"Is there a day when I will establish my own kingdom of faith?"

"perhaps……"

"That Roja has this possibility?"

The gray wizard Selip let out a long sigh, and walked towards the temple where the fourth-level wizard was located. (end of this chapter)
