After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 125 [Ceratopsian Armor]

The "call" of the "Palace of Overturn" is a very subtle and special spiritual fluctuation transmitted through the [Overturn Mask No. 7]. Then, as long as the mask wearer responds to this "call", he can be transported to the "Palace of Overturn". "Inside the Palace".

What Ryan felt at this moment was the "calling" feeling from the mask.

Ryan's pause while filling the soup immediately caught the attention of Freni and Cecilia.

"What's wrong?" Miss Witch asked with concern, and although Cecilia didn't speak, she also cast a questioning look.

"The summons of the Overturned Palace." Ryan did not hide anything: "I have only joined for a few days, and the summons appeared..."

"Captain, let me go in and take a look."

Ryan's eyes were filled with interest.

In fact, the invitation to him from the "Overturned Palace" was a bit too "abrupt" and "anxious".

Ryan didn't know what considerations the "Overthrown Palace" had in the first place to allow the No. 4 Green Wave to "invite" him, but what is certain is that if he did not show sufficient strength and potential at that time, subsequent Development will definitely not be what it is now.

And if you think about it carefully, from the time he landed on the outlying island to the time when Green Wave No. 4 intercepted him, the only special person or thing he experienced during the period was the "incident of theft of sacred objects", and the people closely related to the theft of sacred objects, There is only one - the Phantom Beast Witch Melloye.

In this series of events, what role did the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye play?

What is the relationship between her and the "Overturned Palace"?

Now, the only thing Ryan can contact the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye is a "sound-transmitting conch" given to him by the other party.

"After this 'summoning' is over, you can ask Meloye for clarification."

Ryan thought to himself.

"...the summons of the Overturned Palace." Freni's eyes narrowed slightly: "Be careful."

Ryan nodded slightly: "I will pay attention."

"Then, I'll go over."

After saying this, Ryan raised his hand, pressed it between the mask's eyebrows, and silently recited in his mind: "The Overturned Palace."

The ten-second countdown ended, and strange spiritual fluctuations took the [Overturning Mask No. 7] as the coordinate point. During the sudden arrival, with a flash of gray mist, Ryan's body disappeared in place.

Freni's eyes became more solemn as she watched the entire transmission process.

Because she found that even if she used magic power, it was still difficult to interfere with the gray mist.

"What a high status..."

Miss Witch pursed her lips.

The existence of the "Overturned Palace" made her slightly waver in her decision to stay on the outlying island and get chestnuts from the fire.

This undercurrent affecting the entire Santos Kingdom seemed to be more turbulent than she expected.

……

The fog in front of my eyes gradually faded.

When Ryan's vision returned to normal, what appeared in front of him was the familiar dim underground hall.

On the brass seats on both sides of the neatly arranged long table, No. 4 Green Wave, No. 5 Qing Ling and No. 6 Blue Mountain are all seated.

In addition to these three "sons of overthrow" that Ryan had seen before, a figure also appeared in seat 3.

Ryan's eyes fell on this person.

He/she wears a white hooded robe, a yellow mask on his face, and is neither fat nor thin. The loose robe hides the body features, making it impossible for Ryan to tell the person's specific gender.

Ryan's arrival also attracted the attention of the white-robed masked man in seat 3.

His (unclear gender, so refer to him) pale golden pupils under the mask met Ryan's gaze, and said slowly in a neutral voice: "Newcomer? I am No. 3, codenamed 'Huang Bing'."

"No. 7, Zifeng."

Ryan nodded slightly, and a purple mask appeared on his face at this moment. It was the original appearance of [Overturning Mask No. 7] - all members who entered the "Palace of Overturning", no matter what they were simulated by the overturning mask. After entering here, the mask will return to its original appearance.

After a brief acquaintance, neither party had any intention of saying anything more. Ryan walked to his seat and sat down, waiting patiently.

Qingling, who was sitting next to him (the seats on both sides of the long table were 2, 4, and 6 on the left and 3, 5, and 7 on the right) said, "We just completed the monthly meeting a few days ago. It has only been a few days since the 'exchange meeting', and I have received another 'summoning'. Is there a special mission?"

A cold voice echoed, and Qing Ling's words were more like explaining to Ryan than asking.

"You're right."

A gentle female voice full of magnetism sounded, and at some point, the puppet body of "Red Kite" appeared on the No. 1 seat at the head of the long table.

"No. 2 can't come, the rest of the staff have arrived, so let's start our special mission release this time."

"Red Yuan"'s words made several people present look solemn.

The special mission is an irresistible call for "Son of Overthrow".

This is also the obligation of the palace master "Red Kite" to inform in advance before joining the "Palace of Overthrow". Anyone who violates it will be severely punished.

While enjoying convenience, you also naturally have to bear obligations.

Although Ryan will not be bound by the "contract and blood oath", on the surface, he still puts on a serious appearance.

It's one thing to perform special tasks or not, but it would be too fake if you don't even pretend to be one.

At least so far, the "Overturned Palace" has brought him a lot of convenience.

If the special task would not endanger his own safety, there would be no harm in carrying it out.

The voice of "Red Kite" echoed in the ears of every member:

"Today at twelve o'clock at noon, the Libra Holy Cult will hold a 'sacred ceremony' in front of the main hall. According to reliable information, so far, the Libra Holy Cult has still not been able to recover the 'sacred object', which also means that they cannot start.' Sacred Scales'."

"Without the suppression of the 'Holy Scale', the opening of the entrance to the underground labyrinth is unstoppable."

"The content of this special mission requires you to go to the entrance to the ninth floor of the underground maze and prevent anyone from entering."

"What needs special attention is that a group of unknown men in black robes have sneaked into the special area where the entrance to the underground labyrinth is located, which has not been opened yet - the underground rift valley of St. Phil. The main target of your defense is this group of men in black robes. .”

"When the underground labyrinth first opens, a large number of monsters will emerge, and these monsters will hinder the speed of the men in black robes from entering the underground labyrinth. Princess Water Drop will arrange for you to enter Saint Phile through a special secret passage controlled by the royal family. In terms of progress, the underground rift valley will not lag too far behind these black-robed men."

"The requirement for this special mission is that after you arrive at the entrance to the ninth floor, you must stop anyone who attempts to enter. The time limit is at least one day."

"The mission is very difficult, so except for me and No. 2, everyone else is dispatched. Once you encounter irresistible danger, you can choose to teleport back to the Overturned Palace, and I will teleport you to a safe place later. But in this case, this special mission will be considered a failure. After completing this special mission, each participant who persists to the end will receive a mid-level rare item as a reward."

As soon as the word "intermediate strange object" came out, Ryan clearly felt that the breathing of the surrounding members became heavier, and even he was very surprised.

Intermediate-level wonders are completely different from low-level wonders.

Even third-level hero professionals are basically unlikely to possess mid-level rare objects. Creatures of this level will only begin to appear in the hands of fourth-level professionals, and even fourth-level professionals can possess all of them. not much.

The preciousness of this thing can be seen from the only mid-level rare item in Ryan's current possession [Big Sword·True Red Crown Horn] - the main material of this big sword, according to the Golden Hammer Master, is strength. The material is stronger than the average fourth-level monster, and it is very suitable for forging weapons. This is how I finally got this powerful mid-level rare item.

If Ryan didn't have the [Unnamed Ship Sculpture], the Traveling Clone wouldn't be able to kill the [Higher Level] Unicorn Dragon, and it would be impossible for him to possess an intermediate rare item.

The allure of mid-level rare objects is naturally self-evident.

Of course, such huge benefits naturally also represent unparalleled risks.

There was no fool among the people present, so after the initial excitement, they all calmed down quickly.

"Lanshan" sitting in seat 6 buzzed: "Are these black-robed people strong?"

"It's very strong."

"Red Yuan" did not deny it, and affirmed "Lan Shan" openly: "These black-robed people are of unknown origin and possess some very special spirituality. When fighting them, you must avoid direct contact with their spirituality." body, otherwise it is likely to be plunged into a state of severe weakness.”

"There are not many of these black-robed men, but they basically have third-level strength."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Level three!

And he has some kind of special spirituality that can put those who come in contact into a state of strong weakness!

"Qing Ling and Zifeng have come into contact with these black-robed men. They know the details better."

As soon as the words "Red Yuan" came out, No. 3 Huang Bing, No. 4 Green Chao and No. 6 Lan Shan immediately turned their attention to the two of them.

Ryan glanced at Qing Ling, who responded with a slight nod.

Suddenly, Ryan understood.

This matter should have been reported to Chi Yuan by Qing Ling.

Ryan was not surprised by this.

The existence of the man in black robe was too dangerous. Qing Ling knew that she could not deal with the man in black robe alone. The only way was to report the matter to the palace master Chi Yuan.

Facing everyone's gaze, Qing Ling said in a cold voice: "These men in black robes can use their special black spirituality to construct an attack called the 'Heart-Eating Seal'. Once hit, they will continue to bite. If you want to eliminate the spirit of the one in the middle, you can only stop and do it wholeheartedly, but under the attack of the black-robed man, it is impossible to do this unless someone is covering you."

"The men in black robes move very fast, and conventional concealment methods seem to have no effect on them."

"They seem to have a way of using special spirituality to build teleportation arrays. When fighting them, it's best to prepare a faster attack method in advance to interrupt their teleportation."

"That's the general situation." After listening to Qing Ling's story, everyone subconsciously looked at Ryan.

According to what Chi Yuan said, in addition to Qing Ling, the people who encountered the men in black robes were also Zifeng.

Ryan said solemnly: "I have two points to add."

"In addition to being spiritually weird, these men in black robes also possess some extremely powerful recovery methods. Even injuries like broken hearts and fallen heads cannot kill them completely."

"Maybe their bodies are different from ordinary people? I'm not sure about this."

"But their recovery is not without cost. If you kill them a few more times, you should be able to kill them completely."

"In addition, apart from their special spirituality, the frontal combat effectiveness of these men in black robes is weaker than that of normal professionals."

The first point that Ryan added made the eyes of the remaining people change slightly. The man in black robe, who was already a great threat, needed to be killed several more times to be completely killed, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on their hearts.

Fortunately, the second piece of information Ryan added is one of the few pieces of good news.

"You already know the information pretty much."

"Later, at 11:30 in the morning, before the start of the 'sacred ceremony', Princess Water Drop will perform a teleportation. After that, she will take you into a special secret passage to the Saint-Phile Underground Rift. Remember to respond."

"There are still a few hours until the mission starts. If there is anything that needs to be dealt with, please resolve it as soon as possible."

"above."

The voice of "Red Kite" gradually drifted away, and her puppet body also disappeared from seat 1.

Ryan glanced at the people on both sides of the long table, focused on No. 3 Huang Bing, paused, and then chose to exit the "Palace of Overturning".

Gray mist flowed in front of his eyes, and the next second, his body disappeared from the seat.

Qing Ling withdrew her eyes and silently looked at Seat 7. She didn't know whether her report of the black-robed man had aroused Zifeng's dissatisfaction.

In fact, although she reported the situation of the man in black robe, she did not disclose anything about Zifeng.

With a slight sigh in her heart, she also chose to quit.

Soon, Huang Bing, who was sitting in seat 3, was the only one left in the Overturned Palace.

The eyes under his mask looked at the place where No. 7 Zifeng disappeared, and chuckled: "Such a pure look and aura, he seems to be a very strong guy."

……

Islands, beaches, campfires.

With the fleeting gray mist, Ryan's body appeared at the position before the teleportation.

He opened his eyes and immediately saw Freni, who was looking at her with concern: "How are you, are you okay?"

Ryan shook his head slightly: "It's okay."

"However, this summons from the Overturned Palace is quite interesting."

After briefly narrating the contents of the special mission, he said thoughtfully: "It seems that 'Red Kite' should have a rough idea of ​​the identities of these black-robed men, otherwise there would be no need to go to war in such a big way, or even make a promise for this." A sky-high reward like 'Mid-level Rare Item'."

"These men in black robes are a big problem."

Freni frowned slightly: "It's so dangerous, your decision is to go or not to go?"

"Go, why don't you go." Ryan said with a smile: "Why don't you go for a mid-level rare object? Not to mention that if you encounter too much risk, there is also a 'teleport' evacuation as a guarantee."

"Our goal is to go to the underground maze. I will go in with the people from the Overturned Palace first. With them sharing the risk, the risk factor will be much smaller."

"You stay outside the maze to provide support. If there is a situation, you can provide timely support."

"When the situation becomes clearer, you can join the crowd who are trying to enter the underground maze to make a fortune."

Freni did not speak, but remained slightly silent. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath: "Since this is the decision you have made, all I can do is support... But before that, these things You accept it.”

The dark blue space ring on Freni's finger flickered with light, and then ten crystal stones emitting a shimmering light appeared in her palm.

"Here are five [first-order healing crystals] and five [first-order spiritual recovery crystals]. You may bring them with you. You may need them. By the way, the effect of the latter crystal is to restore spirituality."

Freni currently has a total of 27932 [Spiritual Essence] points on hand. If possible, she would like to exchange [Second-Level Spirituality Enhancement Crystal] and [Second-Level Physical Enhancement Crystal], precious resources that can enhance hard power, for Ryan. Use it to help him strengthen his strength, but Ryan's rank is only level one and he cannot use these two items at all.

Therefore, Freni could only do the next best thing and exchanged a batch of crystals for healing and spiritual restoration.

After receiving the ten crystals, Ryan nodded slightly: "I understand."

"By the way, Captain, I'm going to go to the blacksmith shop in the city later. I need help from Master Golden Hammer for something."

"Wait a moment." Miss Witch stood up and walked to Ryan.

As the distance got closer, Ryan could vaguely smell a faint fragrance.

Freni raised her white, jade-like fingers and tapped them in front of Ryan's eyebrows: "This trip is dangerous, so I will draw the Dark Moon Demon Pattern for you. In times of crisis, it can hold up a more powerful protective shield, and it can pass through It also allows you to contact me at any time.”

Ryan didn't dodge.

He believed that Phryne would not harm him.

Of course, the most critical thing is the [Unnamed Ship Sculpture]. With its existence, any curse that affects spirituality or even true spirits cannot affect Ryan.

The soft touch came from the place where the eyebrows were in contact with Freni's fingers. With the sliding of the white fingers, Ryan felt a faint warmth flowing between the eyebrows.

In Cecilia's eyes, a strange dark blue pattern shaped like a full moon appeared on Ryan's originally smooth eyebrows.

After the "Dark Moon Demonic Pattern" was completed, Freni's face became very pale, and she even staggered a bit, which showed the terrifying cost of drawing this magical pattern.

Cecilia took a step forward, trying to help Freni. The latter quickly stabilized her body and shook her head slightly at the knight girl: "I'm fine. It's just a little consumption. I will recover after resting."

Ryan looked at Miss Witch, who couldn't hide the tired look in her eyes, and felt complicated.

At this moment, a brand new display appeared on his body panel.

-

[Titles]: Son of Blood, Son of Overthrow (the blood oath contract is invalid), Dark Moon Favorite (the Dark Moon Witch consumes the special magic pattern drawn by the origin, which can bring protection to the drawn person. Remaining time: 23:59: 59)

-

A special title with timeliness!

From the "Consumption Source" in the prompt, we can know that the price required to draw the "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" is by no means as simple as Freni said.

But Ryan did not expose this, but silently chose to accept the girl's kindness.

After experiencing so many things together, he could no longer remember how much debt he owed to Freni.

During this period, although he made some repayments, it was far from enough to compensate for what Freine gave him.

After a few seconds of silence, Ryan stood up and said, "Captain, then I'm going."

"Well, be careful on the road." Freni, who looked pale, smiled, and the fluffy witch hat on her head swayed slightly.

……

after a while.

Ryan arrived at the door of the Golden Hammer Blacksmith Shop in Santos City.

Today is the "Day of the Fengxing", and there are obviously more pedestrians walking on the street than yesterday, including many adventurers and pirates.

Ryan didn't pay too much attention to these "hyenas". He came to see the Golden Hammer Master this time, mainly because he wanted to ask the Golden Hammer Master to embed the [Super Heart · Chimeric Glass Bead] on the [Big Sword·Red Crown Horn]. .

This extremely rare glass bead will bring huge blessings to his fighting power.

Standing at the door of the blacksmith shop, Ryan knocked on the door.

To his surprise, the door opened quickly.

Originally, he thought that Master Golden Hammer, who was busy making protective gear, would open the door later.

"You kid, are you here so early?"

Master Golden Hammer was a little confused: "How do you know that I have made your protective gear?"

Hearing this, Ryan's eyes showed a look of surprise, and then explained: "Master Golden Hammer, I have something else to ask you during this trip."

"But now that you've made the protective gear, can I go take a look first?"

"Okay." Master Golden Hammer said nonchalantly.

Under his leadership, Ryan came to the compartment behind the blacksmith shop and saw a powerful and domineering armor.
