Rise of the Dark Witch

weekend.

Early in the morning, Anna took Roja out to do some shopping.

She was also excitedly holding a camera and taking pictures.

Take a picture with your sleeping face.

Get up and take a photo.

Take a shower and take a photo.

Go out and take a photo.

Take a photo while walking.

Shop for clothes and take a photo.

Take a photo while having a drink.

After Anna's conversation last night, she felt like some kind of strange switch had been turned on in her brain, and she became a photo-taking fiend.

Click!

"I took another good photo."

Anna shook the camera in her hand and smiled happily.

Anna put the camera back in her bag and touched her growling stomach, "Is it almost noon? Find a place to eat first and continue shopping in the afternoon."

Roja, who had large and small bags hanging on his body, could only nod numbly.

In Roja's opinion, he has bought enough things today. Even if there is still more to buy, can't he wait until next time?

But Anna obviously doesn't think so.

After raising his opinions several times and discovering that Anna was not prepared to accept them, he gave up.

Now he is just a ruthless bag tool man.

Walking down the street.

The boots left footprints in the snow.

Ana's eyes scanned the surrounding restaurants.

"What should we eat? BBQ? Stew? Stir-fry? Hot pot?..." Anna turned to Roja and asked, "Brother, is there anything you want to eat?"

"It's such a cold day, let's eat hot pot." Roja said.

"It feels better to eat hot pot at home, and since it's our first time going out for shopping as a brother and sister, I want to eat something more sophisticated and meaningful." Anna continued to ask: "Brother, what do you think is better?"

"Exquisiteness means something?" Roja glanced at the corner of his mouth speechlessly, "The restaurant in front looks quite high-end, and there is a signature steak on the door. Why don't we go eat grilled steak."

"The grilled steak is very good..." Anna thought for a while, then shook her head, "You are only fifteen years old, and you are not old enough to drink."

"Huh? What's the relationship between steak and red wine?" Roja was confused.

"Steak must be paired with red wine to have a sense of ceremony!" Anna clenched her fists, "It doesn't matter if you don't pair it with red wine normally, but on such a memorable day, if you eat steak without red wine, you will definitely feel regretful when you look back on it in the future!"

"Then what do you think is better to eat?" Roja really couldn't understand the other person's brain circuit.

"I don't care what I do. What's important is what you want to eat, brother. Today is to celebrate your birthday, brother. The most important thing is that you are happy." Anna replied.

"..."

So tired.

It's like going home and lying on the bed.

When Roja and Anna were struggling with what to eat for lunch.

"Anna, what a coincidence."

A girl walked over.

It's Anna's classmate and good friend - Yas Merli.

Today, Yasi is wearing a snow-white fox fur, with warm pink gloves on her hands. Her fair face turns red due to the cold wind, and she looks extremely cute.

Because the weather was extremely cold, everyone else was wrapped up tightly and dressed as bulky as pigs.

Although Yasi was also wearing very thick clothes, due to the material and style of her clothes and her extremely sweet appearance, she actually had a different style and became the center of attention on the entire street.

"This is my friend from school, Yas Mellie." Anna pointed at the girl and introduced.

"Hello, Sister Yasi." Roya greeted politely.

"Are you Anna's brother?"

Yasi's face suddenly moved towards Roja, and her cold and sweet breath turned into a thin mist and covered Roja's face.

Her big eyes stared straight at Roja for a closer look.

After being stared at for a few seconds, Roja couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to retreat and distance himself. Then he hid behind Anna as if he was afraid of seeing a dangerous woman.

"Yasi, you scared my brother."

"Sorry, I got excited... Let's do this. Have you had lunch? I'm treating you."

Under the leadership of Yasi, the three of them came to an extremely exquisite and luxurious restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, a beautiful and well-dressed female attendant came over.

Under the leadership of the female attendant, they arrived at a window seat on the third floor.

Amidst the elegant and melodious piano music, the three of them sat down one after another.

Yasi took off her gloves and flipped through the menu gently and elegantly with her white fingers.

Compared to Yasi, who looked calm, Roja and Anna looked a little panicked.

This restaurant is so upscale!

Let’s not talk about the clothing status of other guests coming in and out, the most important thing is the price!

A cup of coffee costs three hundred, and a dish costs thousands...

Although Anna wanted to have something more sophisticated and meaningful for lunch today, so she decided to spend a little more money, but her budget was at most one thousand.

But here, just ordering three or four dishes and a few drinks will cost nearly 10,000 yuan!

"What do you want to eat?" Yasi smiled.

"How about we change places?" Anna glanced at the attendant standing not far away waiting for orders, and whispered in Yasi's ear.

"We've known each other for two years. Is this the first time I've officially invited you to dinner?"

"That's not the problem."

"Speaking of your birthday, I haven't given you a birthday gift yet, so just treat this meal as my birthday gift to you. ... It seems that your brother's birthday is also in the past few days? Can I celebrate your brother and sister's birthday at the same time? I’m really happy.”

"But……"

"After all, it's your sister and brother's first birthday celebration. I want to leave a good memory for you, so let me be willful."

Seeing Yasi's insistence, Anna could only agree.

After ordering.

Yasi's fingertips slid along the dessert column, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Since it's a birthday celebration, there must be a birthday cake, but the cake here..." After thinking about it, she suddenly stood up, "I know a cake shop, the cakes in it are delicious, and there is still a little time before they are served. Time, I’ll buy it back.”

Seeing that Yasi was about to get up and leave, Anna quickly stopped her.

"I'll go."

"Eh?"

"Where is the address of the cake shop? What kind of cake do you want?"

"But……"

"You've already invited us to dinner. At least I have to buy the cake myself."

"All right."

Yasi asked the attendant to bring a pen and paper, wrote down the address and cake style, and handed it to Anna.

When Anna saw the name of the cake shop written on it, her hands couldn't help but tremble.

Going broke.

She sighed softly, put on her coat and left the restaurant to buy cakes.

After Anna's figure disappeared from their sight, Yasi's face, which had been smiling gently, suddenly changed.

It can be seen from the change in her expression that she deliberately pushed Anna away.

She looked at Roya with careful eyes.

"Roya is fifteen years old this year. He is a homeless orphan without a father or mother. He was invaded by the Demon Realm half a month ago..."

Yas may have a deeper understanding of Roja than Anna, her sister.

After briefly talking about Roja's personal information.

Ignoring Roja, who looked a little ugly at this time, she said to herself:

"Anna is a good friend of mine and a strong and kind person."

"Although she usually seems unapproachable and has few friends, she is the type who will trust the other person unconditionally as long as they get her approval."

"It's just that she doesn't know that people can change."

"The person who was able to enter her heart and deserve her unconditional trust in the first place might become corrupt and show his fangs to her after a while."

"Royal you..."

She looked at Roja with complicated eyes.

The young man Luo Ya looks so ordinary, only his blue eyes make him a little impressive.

"I still remember that Anna was still worrying about how to have a good relationship with you a few days ago. I didn't expect that your relationship has become so good in the blink of an eye. It's almost like..."

"It's like brother and sister."

She was really confused.

Why was the young man in front of him able to capture Anna's heart in just a few days?

Although she is a child of a rich family, she is definitely not an innocent and ignorant person.

An orphan can live as a homeless man for more than ten years and successfully grow up. This person is definitely not as innocent as he seems on the surface.

"Now that you have become Anna's brother, then you are my Yasi's brother."

"I hope you and Anna will get along well, stay by her side, and make up for the family affection she has been missing."

"As long as you remain Anna's beloved brother."

"Then you will be my best brother, Yasi, and I will definitely love you more than Anna!"

After saying that, Yasi looked straight at Roja, but Roja only had an expression that seemed to understand.

Not long after, Anna came back with the cake.

She looked at Roja and Yasi who were in an awkward atmosphere, blinking in confusion, wondering what happened to them during her absence.

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday!"

They celebrated their birthdays, and Yasi took a group photo of the siblings.

After meal.

Rested for a while.

They went shopping again, and this time there was one more Yasi.

evening.

After rejecting Yasi's suggestion to drive them home, the two of them walked home carrying large and small bags.

"Did something happen while you and Yasi were eating?" At this time, Anna found the opportunity to ask about it.

"Sister Yasi? Nothing happened?"

"But I think your atmosphere seems a bit awkward. When I left to buy cakes at noon, did you really have nothing to talk about?"

"Talked a little bit about you, sister."

"I?"

"Sister Yasi said that you are a person who lacks family affection and asked me to accompany you well..." Luo Ya selectively repeated Yasi's words.

"So that's it. She is really a woman who is easy to worry about." Anna touched Roja's head, "Yasi is a very good person. I hope you don't hate her."

"Um."

…

late at night.

in the room.

Luo Ya sat in front of the table, flipping through a primary school textbook under the light of the desk lamp, taking notes from time to time with a pen in his hand, looking like he was studying seriously.

“Don’t learn too late.”

"knew."

Anna happily glanced at Roja, who was focused both physically and mentally on the textbook, then gently closed the door and went back to the room.

However, she didn't know that Roja, who seemed to be studying seriously, was actually not thinking about the books at all.

He has already learned this knowledge.

Even the courses in junior high school, high school, and even college, with the help of the Two Souls Certificate, he was proficient in them.

With his knowledge base, it is very easy to become a great scholar in this world.

It's just that he still needs to hide his identity now.

His strength is still too weak.

He needs time to develop.

"That woman actually adopted me? It was beyond my expectation."

That day in the hospital, when Anna said, "Be my brother," he was really shocked, and then he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The humans in this world are really terrible.

Any passerby has the power of a great knight.

Although he has the certificate of two souls, there is no problem in living safely as a homeless man and developing. He has that confidence.

But what if someone shelters?

Wouldn't it be nice to live a life where you don't have to dance on the edge of a knife?

Why choose the difficult route when there are easy routes to take?

As for pretending to be the younger brother of a seventeen-year-old girl, there is no pressure on him.

With just a little trick, he gained Anna's complete trust and made her treat him as a real family member.

"Life safety is temporarily guaranteed."

"We have a stable environment."

"What we should be thinking about now is how to become a level five true god within a hundred years."

"No, it's not a hundred years, it's ninety years!"

Originally it was a hundred years old.

But he trained with Leia for "ten years", so he only has ninety years left.

This world will be completely destroyed in another ninety years. If he cannot become a level five true god before the world is destroyed and save Leia's soul from here, he will die with the destruction of the world.

"Leia seems to have said that as I possess the eternal spirit, the destruction of the Death Eye spiritual world cannot kill me at all?"

"If you want to completely kill me, the only way is to seal my soul in the eighth-level real universe and let my soul disappear with the annihilation of the universe?"

"She probably didn't lie to me."

"But if I 'die', what state will my soul be in?"

"Reborn directly on the spot?"

"Is it floating in the void of the universe waiting for the opportunity to seize other people's bodies?"

"Or is it reincarnation?"

"The uncertainty is too great. It's better not to die or not to die."

By practicing the "Divine Desire Soul Separation Chapter", he became a level five true god within ninety years. With the help of the dual soul certificate, Roja was quite confident at first.

But the fourth-level king died as soon as he came to this world.

Now he is just an ordinary person with no power!

"The threshold for training in "The Divine Desire Split Soul Chapter" is a wizard apprentice. You must at least become a wizard apprentice first."

The so-called threshold is the minimum.

For example, freshmen in high school are eligible to take the college entrance examination. How many people do that?

It is too difficult for a wizard apprentice to practice the "Divided Soul Chapter of Divine Desire", and the success rate is too low!

The stronger the strength, the higher the success rate of practicing the "Divine Soul Separation Chapter" and the less time it takes.

"The wizard resources in this world are too scarce."

"It is impossible to re-cultivate the trumpet to the fourth level in this world. Even if it is only the first level, it will be extremely difficult."

"Is it true that you are practicing the "Divided Soul Chapter of Divine Desire" at the level of a wizard apprentice?"

Roya sighed.

He felt that his way forward was confused.

"Let's think of ways to increase our strength first."

"The first step to increase your strength is to practice meditation and improve your mental power!"

For wizards, the spirit is the most important. The essence of wizards is a profession that focuses on cultivating the spirit and soul.

Bloodline is just a small problem.

Whether you have bloodline or not does not affect becoming a wizard.

The White Wizard directly stripped off his bloodline and explored the path of a wizard as a pure human being.

While black wizards who have entered the official wizarding realm are unable to reproduce with ordinary people due to reproductive isolation, white wizards can still reproduce normally with ordinary people even if they have reached the seventh level.

But those born are just ordinary humans.

Mental power is so important to wizards.

It is extremely difficult to improve your mental power!

However, for Roja, who has the certificate of two souls, spiritual power is the easiest to improve.

He closed his eyes, and in his consciousness, a figure appeared.

Proof of two souls!

The fingers of the witness of the two souls slid slowly in the void, and the sliding trajectory formed meditation runes one after another.

These meditation runes are not ordinary meditation runes, but meditation runes that Roja created that are most suitable for him based on his physique, spirit, age... and other physical conditions.

At his level, with his knowledge reserve, it may be a bit difficult to create his own third-level and fourth-level exercises. Isn't a mere apprentice-level meditation method within reach?

And it is different from the universal meditation method he practiced when he was an apprentice.

What he is practicing now is an exclusive meditation method tailor-made for him!

While his consciousness was contemplating the meditation runes carved by the Two Souls Witness, he felt a stab of pain deep in his brain.

Just like when muscles are exercised, muscles will be sore.

When tempering the spirit, the mental space will also be slightly damaged.

If you meditate excessively, your mental energy will be overdrawn and your mental space may be cracked.

In this world with no resources, no connections, and no helpers, once his mental space is injured, he will never have a chance again, and he will stay here forever.

"Take your time, don't rush."

At fifteen years old, he was still mentally weak.

It was much weaker than when he first came into contact with the meditation method.

After just five minutes of meditation, my mental strength has bottomed out, and my mental space has become extremely exhausted.

"With my spiritual talent, even if I have an exclusive meditation method, it will take at least three years to successfully meditate on the nineteen meditation runes and meet the minimum standards for participating in the apprenticeship trial."

"Due to the lack of spiritual potions to assist training, success will be considered successful if one can successfully open up a spiritual space and become a first-class apprentice within ten years."

"As for reaching the level of a third-class apprentice, it is impossible without sixty years of hard training."

"Sixty years later, my body will be seventy-five years old, and there are only thirty years left before the world is destroyed!"

"It takes a third-class apprentice thirty years to cross the first, second, third, and fourth realms to become a fifth-level true god. Is it possible for such an outrageous thing to happen in this world?"

impossible!

However, although his spiritual talent is poor, the problem is that he has the proof of two souls!

Originally, he had reached the extreme level of meditation practice, and his brain was so painful that it almost exploded.

Without the assistance of psychotropic drugs, you must wait at least three days before the next meditation, otherwise it will overdraw the body and cause irreparable damage to the mind.

but--

Roja only rested for a few minutes, and the pain in his brain disappeared, and he was able to continue his meditation practice again!

"This is the benefit of the 'fourth level' dual soul certificate!"

Others meditate once every three days, but he meditates once every ten minutes.

But after he meditated ten times in a row, his body finally reached its limit.

Consuming mental energy also has a certain impact on the body and consciousness.

His mental strength bottomed out ten times in a short period of time, and his body simply couldn't withstand it.

Although he was still full of energy, he felt dizzy, as if he was stuck, and it took him a long time to calculate one plus one equals several.

"That's it for today."

Roja closed the book, turned off the lamp, and lay down on the bed.

"With the proof of dual souls, there is no problem in cultivating your spiritual power to the peak of a third-class apprentice within a year."

"The real difficulty is how to get your body to reach the peak of a third-class apprentice!"

"My two soul certificate can only be of weak help to the body's cultivation."

Roja's head fell into a deep sleep.

In sleep.

He dreamed of Leia.

He stepped on Leia's head and asked her——

"Is this what you said without any risk?"

"Is this what you mean by a success rate of close to 100%?"

"Climb for me!" (End of chapter)
