After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 141 The counselor enters the situation personally

【Place of sightseeing】

Freni stared at the picture in front of her, her fair little face tightened with nervousness.

A day later, when I watched it again, the combat effectiveness of both sides displayed on the screen had improved significantly.

-

[The "original heart" traveler encounters a powerful enemy - [Superior] Molten Fish Dragon, and the war is about to break out. 】

[Comparison of combat power between the two camps: Traveler (44) vs [Higher Rank] Molten Fish Dragon (46)]

[The amount of investment you currently have [Lingcui: 6932]]

[The ratio of both parties - Traveler: [Higher] Melting Fish Dragon = 4.0: 1.5, the minimum investment amount is 100 spirit essence. 】

[You have thirty seconds to invest and place bets...]

-

After the last visit, Freni had a total of 27932 [Spiritual Essence] on hand. After exchanging 10 first-level healing and soul-reviving crystals for Mr. Lane, she spent 1000. Then, in order to increase her strength as soon as possible, she exchanged it again 10 "Second-Level Spirituality Enhancement Crystals" cost 20000, so there were only 6932 [Spiritual Essence] left in hand.

A total of 20,000 yuan of spiritual essence was spent, which made Miss Witch feel very distressed, but the effect was immediate.

The upper limit of spirituality is +1.0 again.

[Holy Blood Baptism] + [Second Level Spiritual Enhancement Crystal] laid an increasingly perfect foundation for her at the second level. When she advances to the third level, it will bring huge benefits.

In fact, because of this higher spiritual limit than normal professionals, Freni's compatibility has been greatly improved not long after she was promoted to the second level.

The career name of the "Scholar Path" at the first level is [Scholar], and at the second level, it is [Stargazer].

Stargazing does not simply refer to observing the stars in the sky. The so-called "star" represents the awe and yearning for the unknown and the vast and boundless starry sky. As a stargazer, what you need most is to maintain a humble heart and keep learning.

Although Freni has not been promoted to the second level for a long time, she has experienced several major events that are difficult for normal professionals to encounter in their lifetime.

In this case, she naturally has a "humble heart."

And this invisibly matched the [Stargazer], which greatly improved Freynie's professional compatibility.

The topic has gone a bit far.

Looking at the gradually decreasing countdown on the screen in front of her, Freni had nothing to hesitate about. She habitually left 1000 souls to protect her capital, and invested the rest in Traveler.

She had dared to vote before when she was so far behind in combat power and across a large class, let alone the mere 2 points difference in combat power now.

The battle ended quickly, in less than half an hour, and the settlement was given on the screen.

Looking at the four big words [Investment Success], a look of joy appeared in the depths of Miss Witch's eyes.

"Yes, that's it, dear traveler, beat up the monsters hard!"

Freni waved her little fists and became excited.

The 5932 Lingcui invested reached 4.0 at a 24728 multiplier, almost catching up with her balance before redemption!

But not long after, Freni was stunned when she saw the bloody scene.

This was the first time in such a long time that she had seen such a terrifying warning on the sea surface.

-

[The "original heart" traveler encounters a powerful enemy - [Crown] Shattering Dragon, and the war is about to break out. 】

[Comparison of combat power between the two camps: Traveler (44) vs [Grand Rank] Explosive Dragon (53)]

[The amount of investment you currently have [Lingcui: 24728]]

[The ratio of both parties - Traveler: [Grand Position] Shattering Explosive Dragon = 100: 0.01, the minimum investment amount is 100 spiritual essence. 】

[You have thirty seconds to invest and place bets...]

-

"The ratio between the two sides is 100 to 0.01..."

Freni murmured, her pupils dilating little by little.

This was the first time she had seen such a disparity in proportions.

What this means is self-evident - if there is no unlikely event like a meteor falling from the sky and hitting the battlefield, the travelers will almost definitely lose, no, it can even be said that they will definitely die.

The difference between 44 combat power and 53 combat power is by no means as simple as 9 points in numerical value.

and……

"A new level of strength, [Crown]?"

Freni clenched her fists unconsciously.

After thinking over and over again, she finally gave up the idea of ​​investing.

There is no possibility of winning for those who invest in Traveler, and the reward for investing in [Grand Rank] Shattering Explosive Dragon is 0.01. Even if all the [Spiritual Essence] is invested, if it succeeds, the income will only be 200.

Foreseeing the traveler's defeat, the witch lady sighed sadly: "It seems that today's tour will end here."

When the countdown reached 0, Freni, who had no investment, stood up and started exchanging items.

"Exchange 10 more copies of [Second-Level Spirituality Enhancement Crystal]. Cecilia's inheritance is almost getting used to it, and Mr. Lane is not far away from the second-level crystal. Whoever completes it first will be given to him first."

With this in mind, after she exchanged the items, she sat down again and prepared to wait for the end of the tour.

But what surprised Freni was that after being stagnant for a while, the "Battle..." on the observation deck screen actually jumped out of the battle record.

[The battle record is as follows:]

[[Crown] Explosive Dragon roared and took the lead in launching a "jumping smash" attack. 】

[The traveler came up, the traveler used the "secret treasure", the traveler used the "secret skill". 】

[Wanderer flew out and was seriously injured. 】

Seeing this, even though she knew it was wrong, Freni couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing that it was another "secret skill", another "secret treasure", etc., Freni was still looking forward to it a little. After all, the Traveler has created so many miracles, maybe it can be done this time?

Although I didn't invest, the Traveler won, and there is still an opportunity to invest tonight, which is a good thing.

But she didn't expect that after a few operations, the [Grand Rank] Shattering Dragon would seriously injure a bunch of fancy travelers with just a simple "jump smash".

This gap in combat power is really too huge.

"Ugh……"

After laughing for a while, Freni sighed and continued to look down.

-

[[Grand Rank] Explosive Dragon is about to launch a ‘real attack’...]

[Suddenly, the [Crown] Explosive Dragon stopped his movements alertly and cast his gaze behind the traveler. 】

[A huge figure slowly appears, the [Crown] Sword-Slaying Dragon appears! 】

[Trigger a territorial battle! 】

[The traveler runs away. 】

[Battle result: draw. 】

-

"Another crowned monster appears!"

"And, is it a draw..."

At this moment, Freni felt strong fear and happiness in her heart.

If you are greedy for the 1% investment income and invest [Spiritual Essence] in [Grand Rank] Shattering Explosive Dragon, you will lose everything!

"Sure enough, the strategy I have been adhering to is correct."

"A small profit is not worth the investment at all! The benefits and risks are completely unequal!"

Although she felt something was wrong, Freni was firm in her thoughts.

After the battle, the observation deck changed back to a scene of "mosaic stick figures" walking around the volcano scene.

"Speaking of which, there are too many powerful monsters in this volcanic area."

Freni couldn't help but think about it.

First there was the "high rank", and then there was a new level of "crown rank". The difficulty of this volcanic area was simply ridiculously high.

Even the travelers who had repeatedly created miracles in the past were powerless in front of the "Crown" monster.

Before Miss Witch could think more, the scene in front of her entered the battle interface again.

"So fast?"

Freni was a little surprised. She had just escaped death from two crown monsters. In such a short time, she encountered a new monster?

-

[The travelers of "Original Heart" encounter a powerful enemy - [Higher] Princess Blazing Spider, and the war is about to break out. 】

[Comparison of combat power between the two camps: Traveler (44) vs [Higher Rank] Princess Blazing Spider (48)]

[The amount of investment you currently have [Lingcui: 24728]]

[The ratio of both parties - Traveler: [Higher] Princess Blazing Spider = 7.5: 1.1, the minimum investment amount is 100 spirit essence. 】

[You have thirty seconds to invest and place bets...]

-

"Isn't it [the crown]..."

Seeing the words [superior], Freni breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she frowned slightly when she noticed the difference in combat power between the two.

Although it does not span a large level, the gap of 4 points in combat power is still quite large.

After hesitating for a long time, seeing that the countdown was about to end, the girl finally made up her mind.

He raised his hand and pointed at the interface.

……

The scorching golden light pillar soared into the sky from the direction of Santos City. Judging from its location, it was roughly the central area of ​​Santos City.

"Is it the Royal Palace of Santos? Or is it the main palace of the Holy Sect of Libra?"

Ryan walked out of the wooden house and looked at the huge light beam in the distance, his eyes full of surprise and uncertainty. The vast golden light pillar contained majestic and terrifying energy. It was not pure spirituality, but mixed with something he had never come into contact with.

But no matter what it is, there is no doubt that the person or thing that can make such a movement far exceeds the third level or even the fourth level.

"Is it the Holy Scales?"

Ryan's thoughts were racing, and soon, this thought came to mind.

According to existing information, the strongest combat power on the outlying island should be Princess Water Drop and Pope Libra, both of whom are level 4. It is unknown whether there are other hidden level 4 extraordinary professionals.

But even a fourth-level extraordinary professional would be unlikely to cause such a movement.

Ryan had personal contact with the top being in the fourth level, the blood witch Serena.

It is true that the blood witch Serena is very strong, very strong. As a fourth-level extreme professional with the identity of a witch, her combat power is far superior to that of a normal fourth-level extreme professional.

But even she cannot have this level of spirituality.

Therefore, the only thing on the outlying island that can do this is the legendary "artifact" handed down by the God of Libra - the Sacred Scale!

However, wasn't the key to unlocking the "artifact - the sacred scale" stolen?

Could it be that the person who stole it took the initiative to open the artifact?

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Ryan took a deep breath, turned around and walked to Freni and Cecilia's room. He was about to knock on the door. The door had been opened from the inside, revealing a tape. A pretty face with a solemn expression.

Freni nodded slightly to Ryan, then glanced past him and looked at the golden beam of light rising in the distance.

"The power of faith and spirituality..."

"It's the Holy Scales."

Freni's words confirmed Ryan's guess. Compared to him, Freni, who had witnessed the "sacred ceremony" with her own eyes, had more say.

Cecilia walked behind Freni and stood quietly without saying a word, but her slightly condensed eyes proved that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

"Captain, what to do?"

"Want to leave?"

Ryan said solemnly.

Although I don't know why the "Holy Scale" was turned on, the current situation is that Santos City is no longer the "undercurrent place" it was before, but has directly become a powder keg that is about to detonate. If you approach it at this time, it will be special. It's unwise.

Before Freni could speak, the golden light pillar rising into the sky in the distance gradually began to become thinner and lighter, and finally disintegrated into countless golden light spots.

But these golden light spots did not dissipate, but condensed into an extremely huge light screen that could be seen from any corner of the island.

"Sacred ceremony..."

The unique sound of countless people's voices gathered together with overlapping sounds appeared in the ears of everyone on the outlying island.

"Turn on."

The scene on the light screen changed from blurry to clear, and a slender and luxurious figure appeared in the center of the light screen.

It was a woman who looked to be about twenty years old.

The gorgeous long dress on her body dragged to the ground, and behind her face covered by the thin gauze was a pair of blue-gold eyes that looked like the boundless sea.

The droplet princess, Ariel.

"is her?"

Ryan's eyes narrowed, doubts and thoughts flashing in his eyes.

"I once felt a witch-like aura in her body."

At this time, Ryan's ears heard the whispers of his captain Freni.

"Similar to the breath of a witch?" Ryan's heart was shaken, and the layers of fog in his mind seemed to be flashed by lightning, but there was still something missing, and it was difficult to see clearly what was hidden behind the fog.

"Princess Water Drop, is she also a witch?"

"Not sure." Freni shook her head: "The witch's aura on her body is extremely weak and extremely strange. [Scholar Path] is a profession that is very good at perception. Coupled with the special situation when I was young, I can barely do it." I have sensed it a little bit, but other witches, even those of the fourth level, most likely wouldn’t be able to detect it.”

"..." Ryan frowned, and before he could think about it, in the light screen, Princess Water Drop had already raised her steps and slowly walked onto the high platform. Finally, she stopped at the main hall of the Libra Holy Cult, where the artifact - the Sacred Scale under.

Rich golden light radiated from the "Holy Scale", and its originally dull color seemed to come alive.

Through the light screen, Ryan saw that around the high platform, a large number of knights from the Libra Temple gathered, including the majestic old man who was surrounded by many knights in the center.

Rich golden light shrouded the high platform, and no one except Princess Shui Drop could stand on it.

The Water Drop Princess Ariel closed her eyes slightly, as if she was feeling something, but also as if she was missing.

She lowered her head, and the next moment, an ice crystal coffin appeared on the ground beside her.

Through the blurry surface of the coffin, one can vaguely see the figure lying inside, but it is difficult to see clearly through the fog.

"Sorry to keep you waiting……"

The voice of Water Drop Princess Ariel sounded softly, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Ariel, stop what you are doing immediately!"

"Stealing sacred objects is already a blasphemous crime. If you continue like this, even if you are burned by the holy fire, it will be difficult to atone for your sin!"

The moment he saw the ice coffin, at the edge of the high platform, Pope Libra, who had no signs of joy or anger at first, seemed to realize something. His face suddenly changed, his body floated up, and a terrifying and majestic golden aura erupted from all over his body.

Ariel, the water drop princess, ignored the angry rebuke of Pope Libra. She just looked at the person in the ice coffin silently, and then took out a strange bloody fruit from her arms.

"Puff, puff..."

The moment the bloody fruit appeared, everyone on the island felt their heartbeats slow down, as if they had been robbed by this strange bloody fruit.

"What's this?"

Ryan raised his hand to cover his heart. Even with his physique, he felt his heart throbbing at that moment.

That feeling, in addition to resonance, is also mixed with greed and desire stemming from the "Gluttony Heart", as if eating this thing will bring incomparable benefits.

"I don't know." Freni's face also looked ugly: "But something is wrong with this thing, very wrong. It is definitely not a normal magic plant."

No matter how people outside the stage react.

On the high platform, in full view of everyone, Ariel, the droplet princess, opened her mouth and swallowed the bloody and strange fruit.

The black lines in the blood spread on her jade-white skin, and the strange and unknown magic power rose up, like an evil black lotus in full bloom.

"The breath of magic...this is the witch!

"heresy!"

The exclamations came from the Libra Knights and also reached the ears of the people on the outlying islands.

When the water drop princess Ariel heard this voice, she also glanced away.

In an instant, all the Libra knights within a radius of more than ten meters, centered on the point where her gaze fell, were ignited with strange black flames.

Amidst the whining, howling, and despairing sounds, these Libra Knights, who were at least second level in strength, turned into black ash everywhere.

The black flames continued to spread, and all the onlookers around the high platform fell into panic.

Afraid of being affected and contaminated by the black fire, they began to retreat like crazy, without any regard for the honor and dignity of the Libra Knight.

In mid-air, Pope Libra didn't pay attention to the casualties caused by the black flames. He just stared at the water drop princess Ariel who transformed into an evil witch, and said in a solemn voice:

"You, who is it?"

"Where is the real Water Drop Princess?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were glazed over.

Over the past many years, the droplet princess Ariel has undoubtedly been the embodiment of holiness in everyone's mind.

She is gentle and kind, and blesses the people on the outlying islands like an angel walking on earth.

Now, the pure and flawless princess is no longer there, and there is a high probability that she will be killed by the witch who fell into the abyss in front of her. The impact of this is far beyond imagination.

Witches are heretics, ominous, and the source of all disasters.

This has long been a consensus among the people.

Everyone couldn't understand and didn't want to believe the scene they saw in front of them.

"I must be dreaming, yes, it's like this..."

"The devil's bewitchment! The evil god's phantom!"

"No!"

"Where is the God of Libra? If God really exists, why doesn't he send a miracle to punish the witch?"

"Where's God?"

"Where is God..."

The accumulation of faith takes a long time, but the collapse of faith often only takes a moment.

The people on the outlying islands could not accept the sight that appeared in front of them.

But at this moment, an even bigger change occurred.

"Boom!"

The ground began to shake, and the shaking was even stronger than when the underground maze appeared before.

A horrifying and huge crack appeared in the ground of Santos, as if there was some terrifying existence, even if it broke out of the ground.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the four-sided pyramid-shaped mountain that was exposed on the ground and held the entrance to the underground maze exploded violently.

One of them is just exposed, with vicious claws hundreds of meters long poking out from it.

And as the entrance to the underground maze collapsed, a large number of monsters fell like raindrops.

After landing, the monsters let out a roar that shook the sky. In their scarlet blood eyes, there was the ultimate thirst for life and cruelty.

"Do not!!!"

Wails resounded, and at this moment, everyone on the island fell into unprecedented despair.
