Rise of the Dark Witch

Outside Shanta Town, Weiss was walking around with a sad face. It had been three days since Roja entered Shanta Town.

After entering Shanta Town from Luo Ya, various strange noises came from Shanta Town.

There was a roar like an earthquake, and even they who were thousands of meters apart could clearly feel the ground shaking.

The thick black fog shrouding the entire Shanta Town disappeared.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually felt that the vitality of the Hejian area was recovering, and the uneasiness that had been floating in her heart since entering the Hejian area disappeared.

Looking at Shanta Town, where all the buildings had collapsed and had been razed to the ground, Weiss frowned.

On the one hand, she was worried that she had been away for three days and there was still no news about Roja.

On the other hand, she is worried about her own future.

She was so smart that she had already guessed through various signs that the tragedy in the River Area was caused by the Mandolin Wizard. Kukasi and Maven, the two evil wizards who controlled Hard, were probably the subordinates of the Mandolin Wizard.

The mandolin wizard she had always regarded as the patron saint of the Craigie family turned out to be an evil, cruel and terrifying guy who regarded human life as nothing.

Those unimportant people died, and Weiss didn't care how many died, but she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret when she thought that she would become a student of the Mandolin Wizard, and study and work next to the Mandolin Wizard in the future.

"Although becoming an official wizard student is something many people dream of, I used to think so too."

"If you want to step into the wizarding world, you don't necessarily need to go to the Cave of All Demons to undergo a life-long wizarding trial."

"Now that I think about it, I might as well go to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave!"

Weiss has extremely high wizard talent, and she has a 70% to 80% probability of passing the wizard test in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

It's just that she didn't want to be a wizard before, but then she wanted to be a wizard, and she thought that instead of going to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, it would be better to become a teacher of Mandolin, an official wizard.

She regrets this decision now!

It's a pity that there is no use regretting it. Even if she knows that the road ahead is only a dead end, she must go there.

Because she comes from the Craigie family!

If she can run away, can the Craigie family run away?

Wei Si, who seems not to care much about her family, actually has a strong sense of family honor.

"Eh--"

Weiss let out a long sigh, and her eyes fell on Hader, who was squatting on the ground, his eyes as dull as those of a dead man.

The hideous wound on Hader's head had begun to scar, and because he had not washed his face, his face was covered with coagulated blood.

Ever since he learned that day that the two wizards Kukasi and Maven were evil wizards who used the people he sent to conduct experiments, Hader almost went crazy.

Thinking that he had been working for the two wizards Kukasi and Maven this month. In order to save more people, he worked crazily and sleeplessly. During this period, he even fainted from exhaustion several times, relying on medicine to forcibly refresh himself.

Unexpectedly, his actions to save people were actually killing people!

If it were another earl who was a little less diligent, more people would have survived.

After knowing the truth, Harder cried crazily.

After crying, Harder's heart seemed to be dead. He kept squatting on the ground, looking at the ground with an expressionless face and empty eyes.

Weiss tried to ask Hader some questions.

For example, do you know anything about the official wizard who lives in the river area?

But Harder didn't answer a word.

Weiss lightly kicked Harder's feet, "Hey, can you say something?"

Looking at Hard, who was still motionless after being kicked to the ground by her, Weiss shook her head helplessly, knowing that she would not get any useful information from Hard.

Now she can only look forward to news from Roja.

Wait left and wait right.

The long time passed bit by bit.

Weiss was munching on dry food while staring in the direction of Shanta Town. She had not squinted once for three days, and there were dark circles on both eyes.

"Buzz buzz..."

A subtle sound suddenly sounded in Weisi's ears!

The excited Weiss jumped up!

"That bastard Roja finally got the news!"

Weiss listened carefully, and a faint oscillating force came from the direction of Shanta Town, vibrating in her ears, telling her the long-awaited news.

"The matter is over. Do you want me to enter Shanta Town?"

Looking up at the ruins of Shanta Town, Weiss hesitated.

But she didn't hesitate for long.

She glanced at Hard, who was still lying on the ground like a dead man, and then walked back towards Shanta Town.

At first, because she was hesitant, afraid, and frightened, she walked very slowly, taking a few seconds to take a step.

Gradually.

Her desire to know exactly what happened overwhelmed the fear in her heart, and her pace became faster and faster, and finally turned into a life-stimulating sprint.

She walked quickly through the ruins and arrived at the central location of Shanta Town.

Her eyes searched the ground full of cracks and deep pits, and soon found Roja, who was wearing a black robe and standing with his back to her.

Roja seemed so close to her, yet so far away.

Looking at Roja standing in the floating dust of silence, as unreal as a phantom, Weiss opened and closed her mouth, but in the end she could not muster the courage to break the silence.

While Weiss was struggling with what to do, Roja moved.

The startled Weiss took a few steps back, ready to escape at any moment.

When Roja turned around completely, looking at Roja's ordinary face and blue eyes, Wei Si patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's been three days since you've been here, but there's been no news at all?" Weiss walked towards Roja and looked around, "Aren't there two wizard apprentices named Kukasi and Maven? Where are they? Already?"

"died."

"Did you kill him?"

"Suicidal."

"Are you kidding me?"

Weiss came to Roja and found Roja standing next to a deep pit with a diameter of 20 meters.

She looked toward the center of the pit and found a weird fruit the size of a head there. Just looking at it made her head feel dizzy.

"What is that?" Weiss asked with a trembling tone.

"The Thousand Resentments Fruit is something that the Mandolin Wizard specially asked us to come here to pick up." Roya replied.

"Then what are you doing standing here? Hurry up and take this disgusting thing with the Thousand Resentment Tumor Fruit and leave. I don't want to stay here for a second." Weiss urged.

"This is your mission." Roja said softly.

"What?" Weiss widened her eyes in surprise.

"Did the Mandolin Wizard ask you to come with me to watch the show? If you want to become a student of the Mandolin Wizard and embark on the path of a wizard, go down and pick up the Thousand Resentments Fruit." Roja said.

"I……"

Weiss bit her lip.

She really wanted to say, "Is it too late for me to regret it now?" But unfortunately, she knew that this idea was simply unrealistic.

"Is this a test given to me by the Mandolin Wizard?"

Weiss did not doubt the authenticity of this matter. She believed that the Mandolin Wizard asked her to follow Roya to deal with the plague in the river area. There must be something that needed her to do, and it was impossible to just let her come for sightseeing.

Weiss took a deep breath and walked towards the pit.

She stepped on the charred dirt of the pit.

"Hey, yeah, yeah -"

With one step, it felt as if countless lives had been trampled to death by her.

The screams of people before they died, and the shrill roars of the resentful souls after death, kept ringing in her ears.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Weisi's face was pale, and dark red blood vessels appeared on her face.

Although she was less than two meters away from the Thousand Resentments Fruit, Wei Si's body and mind had reached the limit.

She turned to look at Roja who was standing on the edge of the pit, and begged: "I really can't do it anymore."

"If you really can't hold on anymore, then come back."

"Really? What about the Thousand Resentment Tumor Fruit?"

"Since you don't take it, then naturally leave it here."

"...I'll try again."

Weiss's eyes were fixed on the Thousand Resentment Fruit, and she felt that there were countless resentful souls screaming at her in the Thousand Resentment Fruit.

Wei Si raised her feet slightly, put them down, lifted them up, put them down again, and repeated this dozens of times.

After standing there for a few minutes, Weiss gritted her teeth.

"ah--"

She closed her eyes and yelled, threw herself towards the Qianwen Tuguo, and immediately took the Qianwen Tuguo into her arms.

Weiss, who was already prepared for pain, found that there was nothing.

The ominous and uncomfortable feeling that haunted her body and mind suddenly disappeared, as if her discomfort just now was just a function of her psychology.

She looked at the Thousand Resentments Fruit in her arms. It was just a strange fruit that was a little big and ugly.

"Is this the test the Mandolin Wizard is giving me?"

"Test my courage?"

Weiss, who didn't know why, came to Roja in two or three steps with the Thousand Resentment Fruit in her arms, handed the Thousand Resentment Fruit to Roya, and said happily: "I got it back."

Unexpectedly, looking at the Thousand Resentment Tumor Fruit approaching, Roja's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly distanced himself from Wei Si.

Weiss felt strange.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, just take it."

Looking at Roja walking towards the outside of Shanta Town, Weisi quickly followed after holding the Thousand Resentments Fruit.

"Is there anything else we need to do in the Riverlands?"

"No, let's go to the Manhua Forest, which can also be called the Knight's Stele Forest, and meet the Mandolin Wizard there."

"It's finally time to meet the teacher."

Weiss is very complicated inside.
