After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 159 Azure Sword (please vote for me!)

The deep cold evening wind blows across the sea, bringing the desolation unique to autumn.

Tianqing Island is located at the end of the inland sea route and close to the magnetic sea area. Because of its unique geographical location, it attracts a large number of maritime adventurers to stay here.

Over the course of hundreds of years, this place gradually developed its own systems and rules.

Tianqingdao, port area.

An ordinary three-masted sailboat gradually docked.

Ryan walked down the gangway with Freine and Cecilia in disguise.

Ryan asked Ariel for this ordinary three-masted ship before leaving the outlying island. After all, driving the Black Rose into the port was too ostentatious and could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

At the moment when the strength is not strong enough, it is better to keep a low profile.

As for the [Black Rose], it has been put away by Ryan.

Looking at the bustling port with people coming and going, Ryan had a look of surprise on his face:

"so many people?"

Unlike the islands in the outer sea area, Tianqing Island is an island deep in the inland sea area. Logically speaking, the number of ships arriving here will not be too many.

"It should be the influence of the Azure Swordsmanship Competition. Among the pirates and sea adventurers, there is a large proportion of professionals who practice one-handed swordsmanship, followed by Azure Fruit. These people are most likely here for the 'inheritance of the sacred weapon'."

Freni hugged Xiao Zi and whispered to the side.

At the moment, Xiao Zi's appearance has completely changed. The scales on her body and the wings on her back have disappeared. She looks chubby and very cute.

Of course, this is just a cover-up.

In fact, Xiao Zi's appearance was still the same, and even because of three days of good food and good sleep, her body size had swelled, and her scales had become hard and thick.

This is a special secret technique called "Spiritual Camouflage", which Freine summed up during this period by studying the principle of "overturning the mask".

With her own second-level strength and the blessing of magic power, even an ordinary fourth-level person would be difficult to see through the disguise without careful spiritual search.

When Ryan learned about this, his jaw almost dropped.

Both are at the second level, Freni can develop secret techniques by herself, and he, ahem...

It can only be said that in the world of professionals, it is not without reason that vulgar melee fighters are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

"That's true, but the attraction is too great..."

Ryan looked forward. Among the crowd he could see, there were at least dozens of professionals, and the weakest among them could not be lower than the second level.

The third level is the mainstream, and the fourth level should also exist. They just use special methods to suppress their own spiritual fluctuations. It is difficult for Ryan to see that although his spirituality has reached the fourth level, his personality has not. Therefore, in terms of spiritual exploration, Far inferior to a true fourth-level professional.

On the outlying islands, the fourth level was already the absolute ruler, but on Tianqing Island, it seemed that the fourth level was no longer so unattainable.

"Let's go, let's find a place to settle down first."

Freni said softly.

Ryan nodded. When he first arrived, settling in was the most important thing.

Different from the outlying islands, Tianqing Island is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, which is more suitable for the three of them to hide in it.

After walking a few steps, Ryan's eyes were caught by a large wooden sign planted on the side of the road.

There is nothing special about the wooden sign itself. What is important is the reward notice posted on it.

Seeing this, Ryan became interested.

Speaking of which, every professional pirate carries a bounty, and the amount of the bounty reflects the strength and power of the pirates.

The Azure Kendo Competition is coming soon, so the information on the wanted board can be used as a reference.

Ryan's eyes fell on the top of the reward notice. There was a piece of paper that was much larger and more conspicuous than the other notices.

"Reward notice."

"Name: 'Rebel of the Sword' - Duerland."

"Introduction: A traitor of the Azure Kendo Hall who once obtained the title of 'Chief Azure'. His usual weapon is a one-handed sword. A few years ago, he stole the secret sword techniques of the Azure Kendo Hall and fled, killing two fellow disciples. When he defected, his strength was 'Senior Level 100'. His current strength is unknown, and his methods are extremely cruel and violent. The bounty is million pounds (which can be converted into equivalent high-level rare items), and he has been given an opportunity to be personally mentored by the leader of the Tianqing Kendo Hall."

"Rewards are offered by: Tianqing Kendo Hall (providing guidance opportunities), Alliance of Nations (providing bounties)."

Underneath the reward information is a vividly painted human face.

On the picture, a young man with medium-to-short light blond hair smiles wildly and wantonly, and his eyes reveal a kind of indifference and coldness that regards life as nothing.

On the wanted panel, which is all black, white and red, there is only one painted wanted poster. It is so clear and conspicuous that anyone passing by will not miss it.

"What a high reward!"

Ryan was a little surprised.

A million-dollar bounty, especially this million-dollar bounty can be converted into a high-level rare item of equivalent value. Such a reward is enough to drive pirates and sea adventurers crazy. Once they encounter "Sword Rebel Duerland", Everyone will try their best to take action.

As for the opportunity for guidance from the leader of the Azure Kendo Hall, Ryan could not judge its value because he did not know the leader's strength, but being ranked alongside the former was enough to illustrate its weight.

However, from the fact that this reward can still be hung here, it can be seen that for many years, the Alliance of Nations and the Azure Sword Gym have been looking for the "Sword Rebel Duerland", but no one has been able to complete it so far.

Behind the high bounty is a high platform made of countless blood.

Ryan withdrew his gaze and looked at the other bounties below.

It is impossible to say that he is not moved by the reward, but Ryan has a calm judgment.

Regardless of whether his current strength makes it possible to arrest "Sword Rebel Duerland", he himself is also a wanted person.

The Alliance of Nations is an organization composed of all the countries in the mainland. It aims to maintain peace and stability among the countries and fight against the powerful empire in the north of the mainland. The four strongest countries are the "Four Committee Countries". The Kingdom of Augustus was one of the four major committee states.

Ryan himself is a wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Augustus. He went to the Alliance of Nations office to receive his bonus. Was he planning to surrender?

One thing is very interesting. The introduction on the wanted list only explains the reason why the Azure Sword Gym wants "Sword Rebel Duerland", but it does not explain the reasons for the sky-high bounties offered by many alliances.

To be able to cause the alliance of various countries to "bleed so much" means that "Sword Rebel Duerland" must have done something that seriously harmed the interests of various countries, but the wanted list did not explain it, or in other words, did not dare to explain it.

The various reasons are intriguing.

Under "Rebel Durrand" are the bounties offered by various great pirates.

Those who can be called great pirates are all powerful pirates who have reached the fourth level of strength and have committed numerous crimes.

Ryan scanned it briefly.

It was found that the bounty for these big pirates was generally between 30 and 40 thousand. Although it was also very high, it was far inferior to "Sword Rebel Durrand".

In fact, after the gold pound reaches a certain order of magnitude, it no longer means much to professionals who do not develop their own power. Only various resources that can improve their strength are hard currency.

For example, a million-pound bounty is just like that. The key is that it can be converted into a high-end rare treasure that has no market price. This attracts countless bounty hunters to flock to it.

After reading the information on the wanted board, Ryan withdrew his gaze and was about to call Freni and Cecilia to leave together. Suddenly, he turned his head as if feeling something and looked at a man not far away who was also watching. Wanted young man on board.

He is about 1.85 meters tall, has an ordinary face, and is neither fat nor thin. He has long black hair tied into a ponytail behind his head. He wears a slim-fitting black-soled gold-plated suit. He has a sword on his left waist and a sword at the end of the hilt. A bunch of red sword spikes.

Black hair, that's a pretty rare hair color.

The breeze blew, causing the sword spikes to sway slightly. The black-haired man noticed Ryan's gaze, turned his head, and faced each other with a trace of surprise in his eyes. Then he smiled faintly, nodded to Ryan, and opened and closed his lips.

Although there was no sound, Ryan still understood his words: "You are strong, we will meet again..." Then, under Ryan's gaze, the black-haired man turned and left, without any sloppiness in the whole process.

Freni, who was standing next to Ryan, noticed something strange and said softly: "Is this?"

Ryan frowned and shook his head: "It's okay, I met a very strong swordsman."

This black-haired man's strength is at least level four, and he is a very powerful swordsman.

If his appearance, features and spirit were not too different from the "Sword Rebel Duerland" on the wanted board, Ryan would have thought that this person was the "Sword Rebel Duerland".

The appearance can be changed through strange objects, but a person's eyes and temperament are difficult to change.

The black-haired swordsman's eyes were very calm, completely different from the indifferent and cold look in the wanted portrait.

A powerful swordsman attracted by the Azure Kendo Tournament?

Ryan thought so.

"Let's go, let's find a suitable hotel first."

Ryan suppressed his thoughts, took steps, and headed into the distance.

Freni frowned slightly. She felt an inexplicable danger from the black-haired man, which was the warning brought by the witch's sixth sense.

But there is no conflict between the two sides at the moment, so there is no need to worry too much.

So, she raised her legs to follow Ryan.

……

Unlike the outlying islands, there is no country on Tianqing Island. Instead, there are club-like organizations named "Tianqing Alliance".

The Azure Kendo Hall is the undoubted big brother of the Azure Alliance.

In the course of hundreds of years of evolution, chambers of commerce continued to settle here, and gradually, a huge city named "Azure City" appeared on the island.

The structure of Azure City is similar to that of a normal town, divided into the central area, the inner ring area, and the outer ring area.

As the leader of the alliance, Azure Kendo Hall is located in the central area. As for the inner ring area, there are clubs of various sizes, while the outer ring area is mostly populated by ordinary people.

Even Tianqingdao, which has many professionals, still needs a large number of ordinary people to maintain the operation of the city.

The 'Moon Bay Hotel' where Ryan, Freni and Cecilia stayed was a large hotel located at the junction of the Inner Ring District and the Outer Ring District.

The unique location ensured the security here, and the various conditions of the hotel were also quite good, so the three of them chose this place.

After choosing a place to stay, Ryan and Freni had a brief discussion, and the three of them decided to split up and collect intelligence. Before leaving, Ryan gave the "sound-transmitting conch" he got from the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye. There is one for each of the two women, so that they can make emergency contact easily.

When arriving in a new place, understanding the rules is the most important thing.

Only in this way can we take advantage of the situation and get twice the result with half the effort.

Although the core of the pirate profession is "confrontation of rules", when the rules are beneficial to oneself, it is not impossible to use them.

Ryan was walking on the noisy street, and professionals could be seen everywhere either with their waists crossed or with weapons on their backs, giving people a feeling of enthusiasm.

Wandering on the street, after a while, Ryan stopped in front of a pub called "Old Black".

After thinking briefly, he walked into the "Old Black Tavern".

He was still ignorant of the fact that he was tricked by the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce. He could get more information at a lower cost by going to the tavern, so he foolishly went to the Chamber of Commerce to buy the information first. .

A lesson learned. Now, Ryan chose to go directly to the tavern to gather information.

When you open the door curtain, you are greeted by the fiery smell and the unique rich aroma of malt beer.

Ryan's arrival did not attract the attention of others.

He found a slightly remote seat at the bar and sat down, and said to the waiter: "Let's order some of your special food and drinks."

The waiter nodded when he heard the voice, and not long after, he delivered a large steak covered in honey and a glass of ale full of yellow and white foam.

Ryan simply cut a small piece of meat steak and chewed it in his mouth. It had to be said that the taste was really good. Unfortunately, the raw material of the meat steak was just ordinary animals, which had no edible value to him who was used to eating monster meat.

On the contrary, the ale is a bit interesting.

Ryan quietly listened to the sounds around him while sipping his beer.

"Did you hear about it? A very powerful female swordsman came to Sword Stage No. 3 today. The original master of the stage was defeated in her hands even after three moves. Her strength was simply terrifying. Si..."

"I've heard about it. Also, this female swordsman has a really good figure. Even though she's wearing a mask, she must be a beauty. Hehe..."

"According to this situation, others can only challenge other sword stages. After all, only the stage owner can participate in the finals three days later."

This was a conversation among a table of drunken pirates.

Ryan's eyes moved slightly and he extracted a lot of information from it.

The sword platform should be a form of selection for the Tianqing Kendo Competition. At present, only by becoming the master of the sword platform, that is, the master of the sword platform, can you be eligible to participate in the final kendo finals. There are just who knows how many sword platforms there are.

Just as Ryan was thinking, suddenly, the lights in the tavern dimmed.

When such a change suddenly occurred, no one in the tavern showed panic, but instead they all became excited.

"Oh oh oh!"

"It's coming, it's coming, I've been waiting for several days, and finally it's here!"

"It's not easy."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The shouts came one after another, making Ryan feel a little surprised.

Just now, he was wondering how so many professionals gathered in a tavern in the outer ring area. Now it seems that it is not an accident, but that this "old black tavern" has its own special projects, which attracts these professionals.

At this time, a gentle male voice appeared next to Ryan's ear.

"This is the 'Lingying Performance Troupe' that the 'Old Black Tavern' spent a lot of money to invite. It can best present the famous scene of the leader of the Azure Kendo Hall - [Azure One Sword]."

Ryan turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a black-haired man wearing black and gold-plated clothes sitting in the corner, raising his glass to Ryan.

It's him?

coincide? Or……

Ryan frowned but did not speak.

"Snapped……"

At this time, the lights suddenly came on in the dark tavern.

A man wearing a black tuxedo appeared under the light, tapping his fingers in the air, and the spiritual light gradually weaved into a beautiful picture with his movements.

The spiritual shadow performance has officially begun.
