dark witches rise

Chapter 1 A mere knight

So tired.

Too dark.

So deep.

"Is this what death feels like?"

Roja felt like his consciousness was like a block of salt thrown into the sea, sinking and dissipating in the darkness.

Jingle Bell--

Jingle Bell--

When Roja had given up struggling.

Suddenly, the rapid ringtone pierced the darkness and echoed in his consciousness.

Along with the ringing, there was a burst of sad and anxious shouts.

Witch doctor Barney, who finally seemed to have figured out something, took a deep look at Roya.

"Woo, woo, son, my son..."

Roja turned his head suddenly.

Roja saw a tall, beautiful woman wearing a lavender dress standing at the door. The beautiful woman looked at him, with a trace of concern deep in her eyes under her indifferent expression.

Hearing the cries of his loved ones, Roja struggled, trying to break through the shackles of darkness.

A fat middle-aged man wearing a luxurious black robe knelt beside the hospital bed, looking at his emaciated son who had lost his voice with tears in his eyes.

"Father...Master Barney..." Roja felt as if his throat was blocked, and it was extremely difficult to spit out every word.

"Ah?" Roja asked doubtfully.

Deli stood aside nervously, his body trembling.

After Witch Doctor Bani told Roja a few things to pay attention to, he carried the medicine box and walked towards the door.

What!

Listening to the weak heartbeat coming from deep in Roya's chest, Deli was suddenly startled.

When there was only a crack left and Roja's eyes had moved away from the door.

Those hands that were covered with thick calluses due to years of hard practice with the sword suddenly became extremely smooth.

The door slammed shut.

"Son, you don't want to die..."

Now he works under Captain Lei Lun, the deputy captain of the Silla Town Guards, and is highly regarded.

"Just what?" Derry asked immediately.

The noise coming from Roja's mouth became louder and louder.

Delhi fell silent for a moment.

The ringing gradually faded away and the shouting never appeared again.

"I didn't support him joining the garrison in the first place. No, he almost died from serious injuries less than half a year after joining." Deli caressed Roja's face with pity, "That's fine, you can study business with me in the future.

"

In a sealed room filled with a strong medicinal smell.

He looked down at his hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Barney. Thank you for saving my son. Thank you..." Deli grabbed Barney's hand and thanked the witch doctor hurriedly.

Birds stood on the branches and sang.

After vomiting the pus and blood, Roja's pale face became rosy, and his chest rose and fell with his breathing.

"How is my son Roya?" Derry asked nervously.

Roja gave up everything and closed his eyes, his consciousness falling towards the deepest part of the darkness.

After Barney poured a bowl of turbid and viscous liquid into Roja's mouth, he asked Roja to lie down and rest.

Swish, swish, swish...

The middle-aged man Deli lay on Roya's chest and cried softly, his face blurred by tears.

Roya, wearing white loose pajamas, sat on the bed.

"Master Luo Ya's body is healing very smoothly. It is estimated that he will be able to get out of bed and walk in three to five days, and he will be completely healed in half a month." Witch Doctor Barney said in a hoarse voice.

"how come?"

"Then you just need to rest peacefully and take medicine on time."

Looking at Deli who kept thanking him, Witch Doctor Barney opened his mouth, but in the end he did not explain.

Luo Ya stared at the door tightly for a long time before looking away.

Derry shouted in surprise to the witch doctor Barney.

"My son Roya is still alive!"

He thought that for the rest of his life, Luo Ya would be a sick man who could barely take two steps without getting out of breath.

in the room.

He turned his head.

A dazzling light emerged from the darkness, engulfing Roja's consciousness.

Roja looked away from the door and fell on witch doctor Barney.

"well--"

In his sleepy eyes, he vaguely heard the conversation between his father, Derry, and Barney, the witch doctor.

"The venom of the mango snake has corroded the internal organs...Delhi, I'm sorry." Witch Doctor Barney shook his head with regret on his face.

Hoho...hoho...hoho...

After writing a string of names of medicinal materials on the paper, he handed it to Deli and said, "Ten bowls of water make one bowl."

Witch doctor Barney sighed softly, "Although the venom of the Mangosteen snake has been removed, the damage caused to Roja's muscles and internal organs cannot be recovered. His body will become very weak in the future, and he will definitely not be able to be a knight."

"Mr. Barney, can I continue to practice and be a knight in the future?" Roja asked the question he was most concerned about.

The morning light shines.

His expression ranged from shock, to confusion, to thoughtfulness.

Sudden!

Wizard Barney helped Roja up and made Roja face down. He opened Roja's mouth with his left hand and patted Roja's back gently with his right hand according to a certain pattern.

Hoho...hoho...

"vomit--"

He looked at the old man who was holding a bouquet composed of dozens of herbs in his left hand and an ancient bronze bell in his right hand. His face was painted with strange patterns using chicken blood, sheep blood, and cow blood. He looked extremely tired.

Not only was the heartbeat beating, but the comatose Roja also had his mouth slightly open and his throat moving, making a "ho ho" sound.

"If you want to know the reason for your body changes, you can come to me on Mink Street."

Luo Ya has been fond of swordsmanship since he was a child and has good talent in swordsmanship.

"Now that I have passed the most difficult life-and-death crisis, my life is no longer in danger. I only need to rest for two or three months before I can get out of bed, but..." Witch Doctor Barney said, stroking his sparse beard.

Now it takes less than half a month to recover?

Although Deli was a little puzzled and confused, he was more happy.

The witch doctor Bani, who had a wrinkled face and sparse teeth, frowned and examined Roya's body, his face full of disbelief.

Wizard Barney narrowed his eyes and rushed to the bedside in one stride.

Beside the bed, there were two people.

…

A stream of fishy pus and blood vomited out of Roja's mouth.

"Witch Doctor Barney, please save my son, please..." the middle-aged man begged with choked sobs.

Witch Doctor Barney took out a piece of yellowed paper and a white swan quill from the medicine box.

"...Don't talk about a mere knight." Barney, the witch doctor, paused and said in a deep voice.

Feeling extremely exhausted physically and mentally, Roja closed his eyes and felt sleepy immediately.

"Don't talk and have a good rest."

Deli took the prescription, said some words of concern to Roja, and walked towards the door.

Witch doctor Barney didn't even explain.

Derry screamed in surprise.

Derry on the side clenched his fists nervously and asked uneasily: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"What?"

"Please, survive, survive..."

But soon, his strength ran out.

Roja opened his eyes weakly.

…

Witch Doctor Barney shook his head slightly.

Talented, hard-working, and supported by his father Deli, who is a big merchant of medicinal materials, he is already a quasi-knight at a young age and is one of the strongest among the younger generation in Silla Town.

finally……

"My life...is over..."

After leaving the room, Wizard Barney held the door handle and gently closed the door.

Luo Ya, who was dizzy and dizzy due to his illness, suddenly became clearer under the influence of the morning breeze.

Boom...boom...boom...

The refreshing cool breeze with the smell of green grass gently touched the curtains and blew on Luo Ya.

In the dim room, with the flickering candlelight, two familiar faces loomed.

But the door was already closed, as if the sound just now was just his auditory hallucination.

Feeling the warm breath gushing out from deep inside your body, the pain and numbness in your body slowly disappeared under the wrap of this warm breath.

"Changes in my body?"

Roya's eyes were extremely profound.

"Mr. Barney, do you really know what has happened to my body?"
