After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 117 "Feeding" The Forging of a Brand New Great Sword (two chapters in one, please subscribe)

The rising sun spreads its warm and scorching light to the world.

The three Ryans also solved the breakfast problem.

"Captain, I'm going to make another trip to Santos City." Sitting by the campfire, Ryan was explaining today's itinerary to Freni while dealing with the remnants of the meal.

"...Then you must be careful." Freni nodded slightly: "Although you now have the mask of the Overturned Palace and can get rid of the shackles of the 'Holy Eye', you still have to be careful as much as possible."

"If you encounter an enemy that is difficult to escape, remember to use the things I gave you before. I will rush to support you as soon as possible."

"By the way, this is for you."

As she spoke, the dark blue space ring on Miss Witch's slender white jade finger flashed, and eleven crystal stones emitting radiant light appeared in her palm.

"It's the same type of improvement crystal as last time, but it's not spirituality, but physical fitness. In addition, this white crystal is used to restore injuries."

Subconsciously taking the crystal, Ryan was stunned for a moment. Facing the girl's smiling eyes, he didn't dare to look directly.

After a few seconds of silence, Ryan nodded vigorously: "I will pay attention."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cave.

Freni pressed down the brim of her hat, and the dancing bonfire was reflected in her bright pupils.

Last night, or to be precise, it was the [observation] early this morning. The final result surprised Freni.

She didn't expect that "Wanderer" would become so awesome after not seeing him for a day.

Although the battle process made her emotionally unstable, at every critical moment, "Wanderer" could use secret skills or take out secret treasures to turn the corner, and finally defeated the [high-ranking] unicorn dragon that was a whole level higher than him.

The investment of 800 Lingcui, with a return ratio of 8.3, became 6640, plus the remaining 492, a total of 7132 Lingcui!

Unfortunately, there are gains and losses.

When the traveler later encountered the [higher] Blood Claw Dragon, the 1000 soul essences she invested were in vain.

After defeating the [high-ranking] Unicorn Dragon, the combat power of "Wanderer" has been increased to 40 points, officially entering the 40 mark, while the combat power of the [high-ranking] Blood Claw Dragon is 43 points. The two sides are at the same level, and there is a gap in combat power. There are only 3 points. According to Freni's idea, the "Wanderer" has defeated the [higher] Unicorn Dragon across levels. Now they are at the same level. Although they are 3 points behind in combat power, the odds of winning are not small, right?
  But what she didn't expect was that the battle lasted unexpectedly short, from contact to end, it didn't even last more than 1 minute.

Seeing the [Warm reminder: Investment is risky, bet with caution, please come back tomorrow] displayed on the screen, Freni felt a little numb.

Is the gap of 4 points of combat power at the same level that big?
  Since she couldn't see the specific battle scene, Freni was unable to make an accurate judgment, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly.

Fortunately, even if she lost 1000 spirit essences, she still had 6132 spirit essences left. Overall, it was a good harvest.

Before leaving the viewing place, Freni exchanged 10 [First-Level Physical Improvement Crystals], 1 [First-Level Healing Crystal] and 2 [Second-Level Spiritual Improvement Crystals], consuming a total of 3100 spiritual essences.

She plans to use the remaining 3032 souls as start-up funds for her next visit.

The amount of soul essence required to exchange for second-level items is too much, and Freni is planning to have a big one next time.

[First-level physical improvement crystal] and [First-level healing crystal] are prepared for Mr. Lane. Although Mr. Lane's combat power is a bit ridiculous, his rank is still in the first-level category and he cannot use second-level crystals.

In terms of physical strength, Freni doesn't care too much. Her fighting style doesn't rely on physical strength at all. However, Mr. Lane mainly fights in close combat, so physical strength is still a very useful attribute. The purpose of redeeming [First-Level Healing Crystal] is to heal quickly in case of injury.

As for the two [Second-Level Spirituality Enhancement Crystals], they were prepared by Freni for herself - Cecilia had just accepted the inheritance of Moon Wolf, and is still in the digestion period. Every day, her spirituality undergoes drastic changes. , in this case it is not suitable to use enhanced resources.

At present, there are undercurrents surging in Santos City. If the underground labyrinth is really opened, the island will inevitably attract a large number of sea adventurers and pirates. In this chaotic situation, if you want to get enough harvest from the underground labyrinth, you must You have to improve your own strength as much as possible.

As a captain, she carries a heavy burden on her shoulders and must work harder.

In the cave, the girl faced the rising sun, her eyes becoming more determined.

……

On the beach, Ryan walked alone in the direction of Santos City.

He looked at the crystal stone in his hand with complicated eyes.

This feeling of being "fed" by others made him quite uncomfortable, but... [First-level Physique Improvement Crystal] was really fragrant and suitable for him. This was a magical crystal that could directly improve the body's [Physique] attributes. Things, how could he say no?
  Is the inheritance treasure trove of the Augustus family so rich?

Ryan's heart was filled with emotion, if someone could marry...

cough cough.

Ryan shook his head, and then threw the [First-level Physical Improvement Crystals] into his mouth one by one.

The thumb-sized crystal melts in your mouth and turns into a warm current to moisturize your limbs and bones. .

After about ten seconds, this feeling gradually disappeared.

When the last crystal entered his stomach and was completely digested, Ryan looked at his body panel.

-

[Spirituality]: 5.3 ([Gluttony Hunter (First Level)] compatibility increased, +0.5)

【Physique】：17.44→18.44
  -

Ryan raised his right hand and bent his fingers into a fist. Feeling the powerful power surging in his body, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Now, if he met a third-level hero professional, he would be a little more confident.

Taking steps forward, he strode towards the direction of Santos City.

The effect of [Overturning Mask No. 7] was indeed great. Ryan was not chased by any of the Libra Holy Cult along the way. However, along the way, he did find many people heading towards Santos City like him. Although these people were simply disguised, Ryan could still recognize the true identity of these people at a glance - pirates.

It seems that these "sea hyenas" smelled some kind of blood and came to the outlying islands one after another.

Regarding this, Ryan secretly felt vigilant in his heart.

Because of the distance, he could not sense the spiritual fluctuations of these pirates, but the leader of a pirate group that could survive in the inland sea area was at least a second-level elite level.

After a while, Ryan came to Santos City.

Contrary to what he expected, the "Day of the Fengxing" was approaching and the ceremony was imminent, but the security at the gate of Santos City was not much strengthened. Anyone could enter as long as they paid the "entry fee".

Even Ryan could detect the intrusion of many people with malicious intentions. As a local snake, Santos City could not be unaware of it, but even so, they still did not take many measures. They just sent more troops on the streets. Some patrols maintained order.

This sense of calm before the storm is quite unsettling.

Ryan mingled among the crowd, and what he showed at this moment was an extremely ordinary middle-aged face, the kind that could not be found in the crowd.

This is the "simulated face" function of [Overturning Mask No. 7].

Not long after, Ryan stopped in front of the door of a blacksmith shop.

This is the best blacksmith shop in Santos City that he found based on the map provided by the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye.

However, looking at the five characters "Golden Hammer Blacksmith Shop" hanging above, Ryan couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Gold hammer...silver hammer...bronze hammer...could it be...

With some speculation in mind, Ryan opened the door and walked into the "Golden Hammer Blacksmith Shop".

The scalding hot air hit his face. As soon as he stepped inside, the first thing that occupied Ryan's sight was the back as thick as a wall, and the clear muscle lines like steel bars and iron locks, giving people a sense of power. The feeling of carrying a mountain.

"So high!"

Ryan raised his head slightly.

The man with his back turned to him, even if he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was close to three meters tall. If he stood up, his height would definitely exceed six meters.

Such a height and body shape are definitely not possible for humans.

The prompts on the panel also appeared in front of you at this moment.

[Golden Hammer Master Orulon: A race of giants, whose superficial strength is level three, but whose true strength is unknown (they use special secrets to conceal their spirituality). They like to travel on the islands in the sea. Everywhere they go, they will settle for a period of time and cast strange objects. Equip and understand the true meaning of forging. 】

"Giant family?!"

Ryan's pupils narrowed.

Although he has long known that there are other races in this world besides the human race, this is the first time he has seen them.

"It's just that Master Golden Hammer is from the giant race, but Master Silver Hammer and Master Bronze Hammer are from the human race. The gap is too big!"

While shocked, Ryan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Just when Ryan stopped at the door, Master Golden Hammer slowly turned his head.

His naked upper body was covered with granite-like muscles, and his brown hair was tied into braids, hanging casually behind his back.

He did not get up, and still sat cross-legged on the ground. His generous voice kept echoing in the room: "Take out your materials, and I will help you forge them if you are interested."

There was an indifference in the voice of Master Golden Hammer, and at this moment Ryan also noticed the notice board inserted on the ground, which read:

"Our store rules: Anyone who wants to commission a piece must bring out the materials they are interested in. It does not need to be precious, as long as it is rare and rare. If it does not meet the requirements, please go out, turn left, and walk to the end. There’s another blacksmith shop there.”

Gee!
  Seeing the words above, Ryan couldn't help but feel stunned. He is worthy of being the Golden Hammer Master, and his "level" is much higher than that of the Silver Hammer Master and the Bronze Hammer Master.

Silver Hammer Master and Bronze Hammer Master can still use money to make commissions, but when it comes to Gold Hammer Master, they will not accept orders unless they cherish rare materials.

Maybe when you reach the realm of the Golden Hammer Master, you no longer need to rely on daily forging to maintain the feel...

Ryan sighed in his heart.

In addition, the introduction of Master Golden Hammer on the panel also made him feel a little chilled.

Level three on the surface, unknown true strength...

This is truly a "master outside the world"!

With his thoughts at this point, Ryan took a step forward and bowed slightly to the tall Golden Hammer Master: "Hello, Master Golden Hammer, I would like to entrust you to forge a big sword. As for the forging materials, please take a look."

While speaking, Ryan waved his right hand forward, the space ring flashed with light, and then, a true red spiral horn several meters long appeared on the ground.

It is the single horn on the forehead of the [Superior] One-horned Dragon, the "proof of bravery".

Ryan had a confident and reserved smile on his face: "What do you think of this material?"

As soon as the true red horn appeared, a strong and extremely overbearing aura spread out, and vaguely, a terrifying giant beast more than ten meters high and more than twenty meters long let out a shocking roar.

In an instant, traces of lines appeared on the four walls of the blacksmith shop and the closed door, forming a special spiritual space, locking this domineering energy firmly in the room and preventing it from outside. No leaks at all.

"What a fierce and domineering aura."

Master Golden Hammer stood up from the ground, with a height of six meters. In front of him, Ryan was only as high as his knees. The ceiling of this blacksmith shop was extremely high, so that it could accommodate such a person. Huge size.

Master Golden Hammer walked to the edge of the true red horn, squatted down, stretched out his hand and stroked the rough surface of the horn, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The material of monsters at the fourth-level extraordinary level, and it is not the ordinary fourth-level extraordinary... This kind of special structure has never been seen before..."

Master Golden Hammer's eyes were full of joy. After looking at him for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Ryan:
  "An excellent forging material. Its natural texture and structure are very suitable for forging weapons, especially heavy weapons."

"Guest, you just said you wanted to make a big sword. Do you have any specific requirements?"

At this moment, the tone of Master Golden Hammer no longer contained the "neither salty nor bland" tone just now, but was full of enthusiasm. While asking questions, he still pressed one hand firmly on the true red horn, fearing that Ryan Take it away.

"I still like your 'unruly' look just now, and I hope you recover..."

Ryan recalled the clips from movies and TV shows he had seen in his previous life, and smiled in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He coughed lightly and said, "There are no requirements. It just needs to be hard enough and sharp enough. By the way, if you can, please try to make it as heavy as possible. It's perfectly fine to forge it directly according to the weight standards of your giant clan."

After using the big sword for such a long time, Ryan has his own opinions on this weapon - the big sword, any attribute enchantment, are all bells and whistles. It cannot be said that it has no uses, but compared to the big sword itself, it is terrible. In terms of destructive power, it can only be said to be better than nothing. Instead of focusing the performance of the weapon on attribute enchantment, it is better to be pure, abandon attribute damage, and pursue the ultimate physical output.

During the time when Ryan was using [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower], the ice attribute damage was somewhat useful at the beginning. Later, the ice attribute damage was simply "tickling" to the monster.

As for monsters that cannot be harmed by physical attacks, just leave them to the "Blood Sword".

Master Golden Hammer looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but wonder: "Guest, are you serious? If it were cast according to the standards of the giants, the weight of this sword would be more than ten times heavier. Are you sure? ?"

Looking at the "petite" body of the human being in front of him, Master Golden Hammer doubted whether he could hold a weapon with such conditions.

You must know that weapons are not something you can just pick up and use. You must have at least dozens of times the weight of the weapon in order to use the weapon well. Otherwise, the weapon will not be a boost, but a drag.

"You don't have to worry about this, just let it go." Ryan smiled and did not explain anything. Instead, he asked curiously: "Are you related to Master Silver Hammer and Master Bronze Hammer?"

"They are my junior brothers."

Master Golden Hammer simply answered and said no more. He had just asked because he was worried that the weapons he made would be covered in dust. But in the end, what he cared about more was the process of forging weapons.

"Forging takes about half a day. You can pick it up at 9pm. Here is the voucher."

While speaking, Master Golden Hammer threw a golden metal disc to Ryan. One side was engraved with a hammer, and the other side had a serial number - SAC00113.

"Then I'll come and get it then."

Ryan put away the voucher and turned to leave the blacksmith shop. After witnessing Ryan's departure, Master Golden Hammer had an excited look on his face. After hanging a sign on the door that said "Forging, no guests temporarily", he locked the door tightly. Lock it, take the red horn and go to the forge at the back.

Such a treasured material that he had never seen before made his dusty heart beat.

He can't wait!

……

As soon as Ryan walked out of the "Golden Hammer Blacksmith Shop", there was a "bang" of the door closing behind him. He turned his head and looked at the newly hung sign on the door and smiled.

His biggest purpose in returning to Santos City today was to find a suitable blacksmith to forge the sword.

Originally, Ryan was worried about whether the blacksmiths in Santos City could handle the true red horn, but he unexpectedly encountered the Golden Hammer Master whose "strength is unknown".

A blacksmith of this level would definitely have no problem handling the true red horn.

As for whether the other party will be greedy for such precious materials... Ryan is not worried about this.

Through previous contact with the Silver Hammer Master and the Bronze Hammer Master, he knew that these craftsmen did not care much about material aspects. What's more, the strength of the "Golden Hammer Master" on the panel was "unknown". A strongman of this level could still Don't waste any information on him.

After completing his main goal of entering the city, Ryan wandered aimlessly on the street.

Speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of walking in a noisy neighborhood.

Although the sea scenery is beautiful, if you see it too much, you will get bored.

These street vendors sold all kinds of strange things, many of which Ryan had never seen before, including local specialties. For a while, Ryan felt a little reluctant to leave.

After wandering for an unknown amount of time, the crowd in front suddenly became chaotic and crowded. Ryan raised his head in confusion and looked over.

The crowd seemed to be attracted by something and swarmed in one direction.

Ryan's keen hearing allowed him to hear the conversations among the noisy voices.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, the pearl of the kingdom, the "Water Drop Princess" will go to the main hall of the Libra Holy Cult to perform her weekly prayers today. After she finishes praying, she will stand on the high platform and throw the 'Water Drop Blessing'. It is said that Those who are given the 'Holy Water Drop' can be cleansed physically and mentally, and will have good luck in the coming period!"

"Damn it, there are too many people. Come on, come on!"

Upon hearing this conversation, Ryan's eyes moved slightly.

"The princess of Santos Kingdom?"

Speaking of which, on the first day he entered the city, Ryan was chased by the Libra Knights of the Libra Holy Cult. As a result, he was deeply impressed by the Libra Holy Cult. On the contrary, it was the apparent master of Santos City, the Santos Royal Family, who existed. Feeling very thin.

In this country where divine power and royal power go hand in hand, it stands to reason that the Santos royal family should have considerable power.

"Go and see."

In a flash, Ryan made his decision.

Firstly, most of the vendors on the street also went to watch the fun, and there was no point in staying by himself. Secondly, he was very curious about the so-called "water drop blessing" and the main hall of the Libra Holy Cult, especially the latter. .

The main hall of the Libra Holy Cult houses the "Holy Scales", an artifact said to be left behind by the gods. It must be a lie to say that he is not curious.

Because of the "Black Cat Divination House" incident, Ryan has been on the opposite side of the Libra Temple. In this case, if he can learn more about the situation of the Libra Temple, it will be easier to deal with it in the future.

In this way, Ryan blended into the crowd and kept moving towards his destination.

It has to be said that the reputation of this "Water Drop Princess" is really a bit exaggerated. Ryan witnessed a large number of people in the city who had heard the news and crowded towards the main hall of the Libra Holy Church.

The dark crowd surrounded the Libra Temple three times inside and three times outside. It was so densely packed that there was no end in sight.

Thanks to his strong physique, Ryan blended into the front area of ​​the crowd.

This position is just right, it is not conspicuous, and you can clearly see the situation in front.

At present, the door of the Libra Holy Church's main hall is firmly closed. On both sides of the door, there are two rows of fully armed elite kingdom knights. The spiritual fluctuations of each knight will not be lower than the second level.

Looking at the tall and majestic building in front of him, Ryan's eyes flashed with wonder.

The general appearance of the main hall of the Libra Holy Cult is similar to that of a church, but it is much taller. The whole body is white gold, and the colorful windows are splendid. If it is just that, it cannot be called "grand". The most amazing thing is the Libra The main structure of the Holy Temple is the pillar of the huge scale at the top.

The huge scales at both ends are absolutely parallel, and the bottom is painted with magnificent and complex patterns, outlining an eye-like appearance. From a distance, it looks like a god with slightly opened eyes, overlooking the mortals below, and looking directly at these "gods". People with "eyes" can't help but become nervous, and they don't dare to do anything arrogant.

Because the distance was too far, Ryan could not see the detailed introduction of the "Holy Scale", but the majesty looming on it made him realize that this rumored "artifact" was absolutely extraordinary.

Just as Ryan was thinking about it, the metal gate of the main temple of the Libra Holy Church opened slowly on a platform more than [-] meters above the ground with exquisite relief columns as railings.

A slender figure slowly walked out of the open door.
