After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 114 The most romantic gift between knights! (Two chapters in one)

When the light returned to his eyes, Ryan immediately held his hand on the hilt of the big sword behind him. Although "Red Kite" said that he had adjusted his teleportation point to ten kilometers away from the entrance, who can guarantee that there will be no one around him? A member of the Libra Church?
  It's always a good idea to be careful.

Looking around, he saw lush woods and no one in sight.

After observing for a while, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this is a forest on the outskirts of the island. It is basically impossible for people from the Libra Holy Cult to appear in this kind of place."

He didn't stay here longer and left quickly.

After a while.

Beach, inside the hole in the rock wall.

Ryan, Freni, and Cecilia sat opposite each other. Between the three of them, there was a crackling bonfire.

"This is roughly what happened..."

Ryan finished describing a series of things he encountered after entering the city of Santos, including the "Overturned Palace"

"The Holy Cult of Libra, the Witches' Association, the Overturned Palace... With the theft of the 'sacred objects', forces in Santos City emerged one after another. At present, Santos City, and even the outlying islands, have gradually become the center of the whirlpool. "

Ryan's narration made Freni fall into deep thought. As for Cecilia, although she tried hard to keep looking like she was thinking, but from Ryan's point of view, compared to thinking, her pale silver color was slightly scattered. The pupils look more like they are in a daze?

Maybe it's my misunderstanding.

Ryan thought to himself.

After being quiet for a while, Freni said in a serious tone: "I think we can leave without being in such a hurry."

"Although the current city of Santos is in chaos, the core contradiction still lies in the 'sacred object', the 'sacred scale' and the 'underground labyrinth'."

"By some mistake, Mr. Lane, you became a member of the 'Overthrown Palace' and obtained a rare object that can avoid being tracked by the 'Holy Eye'. This is our advantage."

"Secondly, if the entrance to the underground labyrinth really opens on the 'Day of the Fengxing', it will be a rare opportunity."

"When you reach the level of third-level magic potion, you must cherish all the materials needed. If you look for them one by one on the sea, it will take too long."

"Although the twelfth seat of the Black Knight is dead, the Black Knight's pursuit will not end because of this. When they reach the Inland Sea area, it will take longer for them to catch up with us, but they will eventually catch up one day, and there are After the failure of the twelfth seat, the lineup of the Black Knight Chase Team next time will never be that simple."

"We don't have as much time as we think. We must become as strong as possible."

At the end of the sentence, Freni's tone became serious.

"Mr. Lane, don't think that the Black Knights are only as strong as this just because they defeated the Twelfth Seat."

"Actually, the last three seats of the Black Knights, the [-]th, [-]th and [-]th seats, are just positions set up by the Black Knights to inspire the Black Knights. Their existence has more honorary significance than practical significance."

"Starting from the tenth seat, the [Black Knight] who reaches the third level of hero profession is the real high-end power of the Black Knights."

"The strength of the third-level hero professionals is far superior to that of the second-level elites. Even if my strength has made great progress now, I am not sure that I can compete with the third-level hero professionals."

Freni's tone was serious, and Ryan nodded in agreement after hearing this - he revealed two trump cards, caught him by surprise, and barely managed to injure Hansal, the "Iris Knight". Playing again, facing the defensive Hansal, whether he can achieve such a result is still a matter of opinion.

From the perspective of hard power, there is still some gap between him and the third-level hero professional.

but……

"As long as I can successfully defeat any [high-level] special species during tonight's travels and advance to the next level, I will be absolutely sure that I can compete with the third level!"

Ryan thought to himself.

Seeing Ryan's solemn expression, Freni was slightly relieved. What she was most worried about was that Ryan would not take the Black Knights seriously because he defeated the [-]th Black Knight. If he was careless, something would happen. Big deal.

At the same time, Miss Witch secretly encouraged herself: She must work hard for tomorrow's "tour" to earn more spiritual essence and exchange it for the second-level items on the list. She has been coveting it for a long time.

The "observation" in the early hours of this morning was delayed due to the absorption of the holy blood. When I had time to enter the [Viewing Place], the [Observation Deck] had already appeared [Today's tour is over, please come back tomorrow] The words made Freni a little depressed.

At the same time, this also made Freni know something: a traveler's daily travels will not stop whether she visits or not. If she wants to benefit from her investment, she must visit as soon as she refreshes every morning. OK.

To put it bluntly, that mysterious island is so dangerous that travelers are at risk of falling off at any time.

……

After making the decision to stay on the outlying island and wait for an opportunity to observe the situation, Ryan left the cave and dug another small hole on the side.

This will be his temporary "dwelling" for the next few days.

Today's trip to Santos City took him a lot of time. The sun in the distance was beginning to set towards the west. He needed to adjust his state to cope with the challenges of the upcoming travel trip.

Although he was killed by a sneak attack by the [Superior] Blood Claw Dragon during his last traveling trip, before his death, he also successfully defeated the Bone Armor Dragon, allowing his traveling clone to upgrade again.

But even so, he still wasn't very sure if he really wanted to defeat monsters at the [higher] level.

Nowadays, he has seen two [high-level] monsters, namely the One-horned Dragon and the Blood Claw Dragon. They both showed terrifying strength that was far superior to the lower-level monsters.

Even the leader of the male fire dragon at the top of the lower level was killed before these two [upper level] monsters, and he was not on the same level at all.

Therefore, if he wants to successfully defeat the [high-level] monster, he must be very energetic and fully prepared.

"Crackling..."

On the beating bonfire, the grill rotates slowly, making the fatty fish skewered on wooden sticks sizzle and become golden and crispy.

After simply sprinkling a few grains of sea salt, Ryan handed the grilled fish to Phryne and Cecilia opposite.

"Mr. Lane, I didn't expect you to have this skill."

The fluffy big hat was shaking like jelly under the sea breeze. Miss Witch took the grilled fish, her eyebrows were as curved as a crescent moon, and she said with a smile: "The fragrance is very good, but I don't know how it tastes."

While speaking, she opened her small mouth and took a bite.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"

The knight girl with long silver hair that looked more and more shiny in the moonlight also took a bite. Although she didn't speak, her eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded slightly, which still showed her approval of the grilled fish.

"Then eat more, I caught a lot." Ryan smiled.

Looking at the girl eating grilled fish, his heart gradually calmed down.

After taking office as [Gluttony Hunter (First Level)], this kind of ordinary food can no longer satisfy his "appetite". Only monsters among monsters and special species of meat can satisfy his "hungry" gluttonous stomach. satisfy.

Naturally, such meat was not suitable to be eaten in front of the two women. Therefore, after eating a fish as a token, he started grilling the fish for the two women.

"Mr Lane."

When Ryan lowered his head to grill the fish, he heard the clear and moving voice of Miss Witch. He subconsciously turned his head, and immediately met a pair of bright eyes like stars.

"I've known you for such a long time, but I haven't asked you yet."

"What is your goal on this long voyage?"

Upon hearing this question, Ryan was stunned for a moment.

"Target...?"

Speaking of which, he hadn't even thought about this issue himself.

He has been chased since time travel, and even now, he is still in the shadow of the Black Knights.

After being silent for a long time, Ryan diverted his gaze from the girl and looked at the wavy sea water in the moonlight. He said softly: "This world is very big and exciting."

"But to be honest, I don't have any specific goals."

"Lady Freni..."

"Just call me Freni, or even captain." The shadow of the wide brim of the hat obscured the girl's face, making it impossible to see her expression: "We are partners, aren't we? Calling me sir is too much. Getting rusty.”

"...Okay." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth: "Captain, thanks to your grace, I was able to survive the storm that day."

"It was also with your help that I was able to step into the world of professionals."

"I remember that your goal is to go to the depths of the sea and reach the golden tree."

"Although I don't know what you are going to do there, but..."

"Before I find my goal, can I follow you and see the splendid scenery along the way?"

"Crash..."

The sound of waves crashing on the beach was clear and a flame exploded on the dry wood.

Freni stood up immediately, pressed the witch hat on her head with both hands, turned around as usual, and walked towards the cave behind.

But the ever-accelerating pace still revealed some panic in the girl's heart.

"It's up to you." Looking at the girl's retreating back, Ryan smiled, and suddenly felt that the character his captain had always displayed might just be her disguise. Her true appearance had long been revealed in the cruel outside world. It froze little by little under the influence of the environment.

And as the two of them have known each other longer and spent more and more time together, this solid layer of ice is melting quietly little by little, like spring water flowing into the soil.

The knight girl on the side is still waving her cheeks, eating the grilled fish in big mouthfuls. A grilled fish is in her hands, and in less than three seconds, only the clean fish bones are left. Her fish-eating skills are perfect.

Looking at Freni's back, she blinked and reluctantly glanced at the grilled fish on the grill. Finally, she reluctantly stood up and followed Freni.

"Hey, Cecilia."

Ryan shouted with a smile: "The last batch of grilled fish is also grilled. You can take it with you to eat."

Miss Wolf Girl's face did not change at all, but her eyes became much brighter.

Sitting alone on the edge of the beach, Ryan's eyes became distant.

"My goal...it's such a luxury..."

After blowing the sea breeze for a while, he stood up and walked towards his "dwelling".

It's not far from midnight, and it's time to start a new round of travel.

……

The vision in front of me changed from black to bright, and the feeling of weightlessness gradually disappeared.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes were eleven miniature, bronze-colored trophies hanging on the mast of the raft.

Ryan paused as his eyes fell on the eleventh trophy.

Speaking of which, after successfully defeating the Bone Armor Dragon on his last travel trip, he picked up the trophies, but he didn't even have time to check them because of the sneak attack of the [Higher] Blood Claw Dragon.

As Ryan watched intently, this skull-shaped trophy showed specific attributes.

-

[Trophy: Bone Armor Dragon's Hard Skull]: Bronze level trophy, Bone Armor Dragon's extremely strong skull. Comes with a special skill [Stun Strengthening lv.1]: Your attacks are more likely to put monsters into a coma.

-

Looking at the [Stun Enhancement] skill, Ryan's eyes were filled with joy.

"Faint state" is a very useful abnormal state in his process of defeating monsters. Every time a monster falls into "faint state", it is a perfect opportunity for his sword to charge up and output.

Now, with the blessing of these two special skills, [Sword Drawing Technique·Strength] + [Stun Enhancement], if he attacks the monster's head, it is very easy to make them "faint".

Nodding with satisfaction, Ryan walked to the bonfire and chose to teleport.

With the scattered sparks floating in front of his eyes, Ryan first came to [Bonfire Point - Gap between Giant Trees] to check the situation of the fire dragon eggs.

After a few days of nourishment by "red obsidian crystals", its condition was much improved, and the exact hatching time was also displayed on the panel.

【71:22:46】

It took almost three days.

"Not bad."

Ryan nodded. As for what to do with the fire dragon eggs after they hatched, he already had a preliminary plan in mind.

Teleporting again, when Ryan opened his eyes, he had arrived at [Bonfire Point-Fuyuan Outpost].

A faint rotten smell poured into his nose. Ryan glanced in the direction of the "Misatia of Rot", hesitated, and gave up his plan to attack the [higher] Blood Claw Dragon first.

Compared with the [Upper Level] One-horned Dragon, the [Upper Level] Blood Claw Dragon is more like a bloodthirsty killer hidden in the thick miasma. Coupled with the influence of the poisonous miasma, it will undoubtedly make the crusade process more difficult.

Comparatively speaking, the [high-level] One-horned Dragon, who had had a confrontation before, was more confident in conquering it.

Ryan raised his head and looked at the hollow above the bonfire.

The walls of the cave are covered with tough vines, making it easy to climb up.

"We're going to the ground anyway, so why not climb up from here and take a look."

Ryan thought so and immediately started taking action.

With his legs accumulating strength, he jumped up high. Before falling, he grabbed the vine with one hand and quickly climbed up.

The entrance to the hole was a bit narrow, so Ryan had no choice but to put his scale armor into the space ring, and then he climbed out smoothly.

The glaring and hot sunlight coming towards him made him instinctively squint his eyes.

After his pupils adapted to the changes in light, he looked around.

The location where Ryan was at this moment was a small rocky mountain protruding from the desert, and around him, rocks of different sizes and shapes were everywhere.

"The second petal area?"

From the general situation of the terrain, Ryan initially judged the area he was currently in.

Being on the high ground, Ryan quickly found the mountain wall separating the "First Petal Area" and the "Second Petal Area".

Jumping off the small rocky mountain, he carefully checked his surroundings, but did not see the existence of the monster, not even the trace of the creature inhabiting it.

Ryan can understand this.

After all, compared to the "beneficial" environment of underground caves with abundant water sources and no need to be exposed to the scorching sun, the environment on the surface is too harsh.

Even a physically strong monster would have a hard time surviving in such an environment.

But on the contrary, the monsters that can survive in this environment are all monsters among monsters, such as the [Superior] One-horned Dragon.

There should be something similar in the "Second Petal Area", otherwise the [upper] One-horned Dragon would not have returned out of fear.

Taking steps forward, Ryan headed towards the cliff at the junction of the two places.

Searching all the way, he soon discovered the gap left by the impact of the former [upper] unicorn.

Looking at the hole that was more than ten meters high in front of him and the cracks that spread tens of meters on the cliff wall, Ryan took a deep breath.

"call……"

Before entering the "First Petal Area", he inspected the equipment on his body.

The [Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Suit] is neatly dressed, the [Light Crossbow·Smashed Ice] crossbow arrows are sufficient, the [Bloody Flintlock] can be used at any time, and the rare items rings [Black Eclipse Ring] and [Energy Resistance Ring] are worn on both hands. Ring], as for the most important main weapon in this battle, [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower]... Ahem, no, it is the dark gold blood pattern gloves [Blood Embrace] worn on the hand, which can also be activated at any time, manifesting "Blood Sword".

After confirming that everything was in order, Ryan walked into the gap in the mountain cliff and stepped into the "First Petal Area".

The howling strong wind blew in, carrying thick yellow sand.

Compared with the "Second Petal Area", the wind and sand in the "First Petal Area" are stronger. Perhaps this is deeply related to the scarcity of water sources and the open ground in the "First Petal Area".

Such strong sand and dust had a great impact on sight. Even with Ryan's inhuman body, it was difficult to see clearly fifty meters away.

Standing on the beach, Ryan did not blindly look around for traces of the [superior] unicorn, but took a deep breath and roared: "Unicorn, come out!"

In the last confrontation, the Unicorn was still able to accurately track him on the ground after burrowing into the ground, letting Ryan know that this monster's hearing and perception of vibrations were unusually sharp.

Ryan didn't waste any effort in setting up a "hole trap". Firstly, it is impossible to create a "hole trap" in the desert. Secondly, even if it is reluctantly created, such a trap will have no effect against monsters that can burrow into the ground.

"Come out...come out...come..."

Ryan's voice continued to spread in the strong wind.

In about three minutes, a huge black shadow slowly came from the wind and sand in the distance.

The red spiral horn pointed diagonally at the sky, like a spear, as if it was about to poke a hole in the sky.

The wings, which have become extremely strong and rough after years of being hammered by wind and sand, are the strongest shields in the hands of the knight.

With spears and shields intertwined, the knight in the desert walked slowly towards the "provocateur" step by step.

Ryan raised his right hand, and blood-colored light appeared on the dark gold glove. The next moment, a bloody sword with sharp edges and jagged edges appeared in mid-air, and he held the hilt firmly.

The big sword pointed diagonally at the ground, forming a perfect parallel line with the red horn.

Ryan stepped forward and walked towards the [upper] unicorn dragon step by step.

Face it head-on, without giving in or flinching.

This is the most romantic gift between knights!
