Rise of the Dark Witch

Luke held the torch and led Roja deeper into Okomen Castle.

Da da da……

The two of them walked in a narrow passage and walked down the stairs to the bottom.

The air that has not circulated for many years is so dull.

Walking deep underground, Roja felt a little cold after drinking too much and taking off his coat.

arrive.

The two came to the deepest room underground.

There are small closed iron doors on the walls around the room, like safes.

Without Luke's introduction, Roya could guess that this was the room specially used by the Okomen family to store treasures.

Is it really okay to bring him here as an outsider?

Luke, who was drunk, didn't think much about it.

Luke stood in front of a thick iron door and took out a bunch of keys from his arms.

Seeing Luke shaking his hands, holding the key and stabbing at the keyhole, and couldn't get it in for a long time, Roja became anxious.

When Roja was so anxious that he wanted to go up and help.

Click.

The iron door opened.

Luke took out a hand-width and half-meter-long box from behind the door and handed it to Roja.

"For you...to become stronger..."

After saying a few words intermittently, Luke collapsed against the wall.

He tilted his head and fainted from drunkenness.

Luo Ya gently touched the box made of top-grade fragrant redwood in his hand, feeling heavy.

Just smelling the fragrance from the wooden box, Roja felt that his wine had sobered up less than half.

"This box alone is worth dozens of gold coins, right?"

"What exactly is in it?"

Roya couldn't wait to open the box.

Inside the box was something wrapped in gold silk cloth.

Luo Ya carefully opened the golden silk cloth and looked at the golden object exposed. Luo Ya couldn't help but open his mouth.

"What?"

"It's actually a thousand-year-old bronze root?"

In this magnificent fantasy world, in addition to extraordinary beings such as knights, monsters and wizards, there are also many medicinal materials with strange medicinal effects.

Some medicinal materials can restore blood, eliminate fatigue, and speed up spiritual practice, such as the snake blood vine.

Some medicinal materials can stimulate potential, strengthen the body, and increase vitality, such as the thousand-year-old bronze root in front of you.

Luo Ya's fingers gently traced the roots of the tree, which were like bronze, feeling cold to the touch.

The thousand-year-old bronze root has a metallic light and touch, but Roja can feel the surging vitality from the depth of the thousand-year bronze root.

"It is said that the Millennium Bronze Root can allow quasi-knights to advance to the level of knights, allow junior knights to reach the peak of knights, and allow strong men at the peak of knights to increase the probability of entering the realm of great knights."

"It is the treasure that every knight dreams of."

"Once it appears on the market, the price can be as high as tens of thousands of gold coins. If there is still a price but no market, even if you have money, you can't buy it."

A family of three only needs three to five gold coins a year to have enough food and clothing.

The Baron Okomen family that rules Silla Town is the most powerful and wealthy family in the area, with an annual income of just over a thousand gold coins.

And the thousand-year-old copper root is worth tens of thousands of gold coins!

"This kind of treasure is treasured by some big families and cannot be seen on the market."

"Occasionally appearing at the auction house will definitely cause a fuss. Everyone knows about it, but I have never heard of it."

"So it should be Luke's father, the former Baron Horn of Oakman, who bought it from a big family at a great price in order to use it for Luke to break through the Great Knight."

Although Luke has entered the realm of a great knight, this does not mean that the Thousand Years Bronze Root is useless.

Thousand-year-old bronze root's ability to increase vitality, strengthen physical fitness, and enhance defense is still effective for the great knight.

If Luke eats the Thousand-Year Bronze Root, his strength will definitely improve in a short time.

Roja looked deeply at Luke who was lying on the ground drunk and passed out.

"You're really drunk!"

Take him to the secret room of Oakman Castle that is absolutely inaccessible to outsiders.

Give him the extremely expensive thousand-year-old bronze root.

Is this something a human can do?

At least the rough-and-tough Luke he knew would never be able to do such a thing!

"He will definitely regret it when he sobers up tomorrow, right?"

"But you gave it to me personally, and I won't give it back to you."

"So I accepted it."

The Millennium Bronze Root can help Roja, who has just entered the first level of knighthood, reach the peak of knighthood in one go, saving Roja at least a year of hard training.

How could he give up?

He held the box containing the thousand-year-old bronze root and helped Luke leave the secret room.

When coming out of the secret passage, Roja was surprised to find a charming figure standing at the entrance of the secret passage.

Mrs. Heaney, who was already charming and alluring, had a pair of eyes red and swollen from crying due to excessive sadness, and her pale and haggard face now added a bit of soft beauty that made people cherish her.

Coupled with Mrs. Heaney's status as a widow in her early forties after her husband just died...

Roja, who was at the hot-blooded age of eighteen and had drunk too much, couldn't help but stare at Mrs. Xini, and his body felt hot.

After only watching for a few seconds, Roja quickly reacted.

"Hello, Mrs. Xini." Roja suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart and greeted him respectfully.

Mrs. Heaney did not answer Roya's greeting.

She seemed not to hear, and kept looking at the drunk Luke.

After looking at it for a long time, he looked at Roja.

But he was not looking at Luo Ya as a person, but at the red fragrant wood box held in Luo Ya's hand.

As Luke's mother, the wife of the former Baron Oakman, she naturally knew what was in that box.

"That is?"

Mrs. Heaney squinted her eyes and lightly opened her lips.

Roja's hand holding the box suddenly became stronger.

"At present, there is a powerful enemy. Lord Luke gave me this gift in order to make me stronger as soon as possible." Roja replied.

Roya didn't lie to Mrs. Xini because he knew he couldn't.

If Mrs. Heaney wanted him to return the thousand-year-old bronze root, he could only "reason" with her.

He will never give up the thousand-year bronze root easily!

Mrs. Xini believed Roya's words.

Because although she left the hall to rest soon after the meeting, the people she arranged had been taking care of Roya and Luke who were drinking.

It wasn't until Luke took Roja to the secret room below, and the servant woke up Mrs. Xiney that she felt bad, that Mrs. Xiney came quickly.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

Luke actually gave the thousand-year-old bronze root to Roja.

She knew very well how much her husband, Baron Horn, had paid for this thousand-year-old bronze root!

Yu Gong, in order to resist the wolf plague, gave the thousand-year-old bronze root to Luo Ya to enhance his strength, which seemed very reasonable.

But why didn't Luke eat it himself?

Mrs. Sydney believes that when Luke wakes up tomorrow, he will regret tonight's decision.

So Roja should be asked to return the thousand-year-old bronze root?

Seeing Roja's firm eyes, Mrs. Xini had a headache.

Doing this will definitely make Roja resentful, right?

This wolf disaster has caused too many sacrifices for the Okomen family. If they establish another powerful and talented enemy, the future will be very difficult.

Even if Luke is the Great Knight.

well……

Mrs. Heaney sighed softly in her heart and chose to give in.

"Royal, don't forget the cultivation that the Okomen family has given you." Mrs. Xini said in a deep voice.

"I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life!" Luo Ya was overjoyed to find that Mrs. Xini did not embarrass him.

If Mrs. Xini asked him to return the Thousand-Year Bronze Root, it would be really difficult for him to do so.

After all, the thousand-year-old bronze root belongs to someone else, and Luo Ya can't bear to feel guilty if he takes it away by force.

Reason with Mrs. Sydney?

To put it bluntly, it is coercion and inducement, telling the other party how powerful and talented he is, and it is best to make friends with him now, otherwise he will stand against the Okomen family in the future, and the Okomen family will definitely not have an easy time.

There is no need to rob or talk about "reason" now, which saves Roja a lot of effort.

At the same time, he couldn't help but admire Mrs. Sydney even more.

If it were other women, there is a high probability that they would not be so knowledgeable.
