dark witches rise

Chapter 10 Barney's Witch Doctor's Secret

goo goo goo...

Deep in the ground of Barney's Medical Museum, there is a medicine pool filled with many rare monsters and rare medicinal materials.

On the surface of the boiling medicine pool, lay a small figure.

It's Dora!
Dora lay in the boiling pool, her skin was horribly pale as if without any blood.

A head of hair that was braided into thick and thin braids during the day is now completely loose, undulating in the water like algae.

All the clothes I usually wear are gone.

Without a wisp of body...

It was not the coveted Miaoman carcass, but a rotten body with bones and internal organs visible.

The pale-haired and bearded Barney witch doctor stood beside the medicine pool, with seven sealed ceramic pots beside him.

He opened the first jar and took out a toad with three legs.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

The three-legged toad croaked.

A sickly green mist was released from the bumps on the toad's skin.

Barney witch doctor threw the three-legged toad into the medicine pond with a blank expression.

Next, Barney witch doctor opened the second pottery jar.

Hovering inside the jar is a red, translucent viper with five heads.

The witch doctor Barney cut each of the five-headed snakes' necks with a knife, and then threw them into the medicine pond.

I saw the five-headed snake swimming in the boiling medicine pool while bleeding.

Then Barney the Witch Doctor opened the third jar.

Inside the jar was a head.

The head was rotten, and maggots could be seen wriggling in the rotting flesh.

But what makes people feel weird is that the two rotten eyes on the head are still turning, as if they are still alive.

The eyes staring at Barney witch doctor were full of hatred.

Barney witch doctor opened the seven jars one by one, and threw all the contents into the medicine pond.

Half an hour passed.

The boiling medicine pool gradually returned to calm.

"Okay."

Following Barney's order, Dora in the medicine pond suddenly opened her eyes.

Those bloodshot eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.

Dora came out of the medicine well and stood with open arms before Barney the witch doctor.

Through Dora's rotting body, you can see the beating heart inside and the bloodworms gnawing on Dora's body.

Whenever those bloodworms opened their mouths to bite off a piece of meat from Dora's body, Dora's expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years would be slightly distorted by the pain.

The witch doctor Barney took out a small jar the size of a palm, and carefully took out the blood worms in Dora's body one by one with tweezers.

There were eighteen blood worms in total, and it took Barney witch doctor more than two hours to get them all out.

Then, Barney witch doctor opened another small jar, which contained a bloodworm baby.

After putting the bloodworm cubs into Dora's body one by one.

"Huh..." Barney witch doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's done."

After putting on her clothes, Dora quietly looked at Barney witch doctor with a puzzled expression on her face.

Doctor Barney knows what his granddaughter is thinking.

"Are you wondering why I accepted Roja as a student?"

"Ah."

"I have a hunch that he will be a great help on your wizarding journey... cough cough cough!"

Barney witch doctor suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently, dark red blood spilled from his fingers.

Facing Dora's concern, Barney the witch doctor waved his hand, "It's an old problem, don't worry."

Barney witch doctor squinted his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his deep pupils seemed to see something nostalgic through the ceiling.

"it's time."

……

at night.

The evening wind blew into the room through the open windows.

The curtains rolled and rattled under the evening wind.

Roja, who was already sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, which were extremely round and bright.

Roja felt like he had slept for three days and three nights, and his spirit was unprecedentedly good.

"Didn't the witch doctor Barney say that contemplating ancient scrolls consumes a lot of energy?"

Just like exercising can tire the body, visualizing and meditating on scrolls can also tire the mind.

The difference is that physical fatigue can be eliminated by applying ointment, eating and drinking potions.

And mental fatigue, how to eliminate?

Everything that can eliminate mental fatigue is an extremely precious and rare treasure.

It is impossible to have it in a remote place like Xinluo Town.

So I can only take a good rest and wait for the natural recovery of the spirit.

It takes three days to recover the spirit, so the next meditation practice can only be done after three days.

Unexpectedly, Roja only slept for a few hours, and his mental fatigue was swept away.

And because of his increased mental strength, he felt that his brain was very clear and he couldn't fall asleep at all.

Roja got up and went to the window.

The cool evening wind blew the hair on his forehead.

"I can't sleep anyway, how about going to the study to read?"

Roja looked at the night scene outside the window.

The moon, hidden by thick clouds, gave off a dim light.

Under the dim moonlight, the shadows of flowers, plants and trees loomed on the ground.

Suddenly, Roja's sight fell on a small training ground in the backyard of Kaiteri Castle.

That's where the guards of the Kettery family were trained.

Remembering that he hadn't swung a sword for a long time, Roja's heart suddenly became hot.

"How can reading be as happy as playing with a sword?"

Roja put on a loose black exercise suit, and tiptoed out of the room to the training ground.

Next to the training ground is a row of weapon racks with various weapons and stone piers for training strength.

Roja picked a long sword from the weapon rack.

The moment he held the hilt of the sword, Roja felt as if he hadn't held a sword for decades, a feeling of familiarity and strangeness came to his heart.

Roja shook his hand, and a sword flower bloomed in midair.

"Ha ha--"

Roja laughed loudly, holding the sword and sprinting to the center of the training ground.

Chopping, picking, stabbing, slashing... the basic movements of swordsmanship were constantly used by Roja, and each sword could make a clear sound of piercing the air.

After warming up by dancing the basic sword skills, Roja held the sword and came to the stone pier for strength training.

There is a row of stone piers in the training ground.

The stone piers are arranged in order from light to heavy.

One hundred kilograms, two hundred kilograms, three hundred kilograms... until the heaviest one thousand kilograms.

The size of strength is an important factor to measure the strength of a person.

The strength of a knight is closely related to the size of his strength.

A person who can lift a stone pier of one or two hundred kilograms can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a little practice.

Only when the strength exceeds two hundred kilograms can one be considered a swordsman, but not a knight yet.

Only when the strength exceeds [-] kilograms, is it a quasi-knight.

And only when he can lift a [-]-kilogram stone pier can he be considered a real knight.

As for the high-level knights, they can lift stone blocks weighing [-] kilograms.

Roja put the sword aside and stood in front of the [-]kg stone pier.

Because Roja practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, his figure is much stronger than ordinary people.

But that was just before.

Due to the manhua snake venom, he lay on the hospital bed for many days, and struggled between life and death for a long time, his body was much thinner than before.

The exercise clothes that used to be close-fitting and could perfectly outline the muscles are now as loose as pajamas.

Although the body has become thinner, the strength has not changed at all. Rather, due to the awakening of the blood, the strength is stronger than before.
