After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 53 [Bloody Flintlock] and [Ring of Energy Resistance]

The moon is as soft as water, and the waves are like sparkling waves.

Lane walked to the bulwark.

As he got closer, he saw the knight girl standing in a dark corner not far from Freni.

The moonlight was like silver, but it could not cover up the girl's gray hair.

"Miss Cecilia, you?!"

Ryan frowned and his expression became heavy.

The original Cecilia had a cold and frosty temperament, but the youthful vigor rushed into her face. But now, although her face remained the same, even he could clearly feel the aging feeling in her body.

This is very wrong.

Ryan recalled what Cecilia had said to him during the previous battle.

"...If there are professionals with a higher rank, they can have a glimpse of the 'fixed point' of the [Black Cage] in the real world..."

"I have a way to do this, but then I will fall into a severely weak state..."

The girl's voice still rang in his ears, but the situation was urgent, so Ryan didn't think much about it.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized what kind of determination and weight contained in Cecilia's light words.

The prompts on the panel are unmistakable. Cecilia's status is only first level. Even though her strength far exceeds the first level category, her level is still the same.

In this case, why can she, who is lower than the [Black Knight], be able to do things that can only be done by beings who are higher than the [Black Knight]?

The answer is obvious.

She must have paid some unimaginable price to elevate her status.

Cecilia's previously unprecedented "posture" was what she would look like after her promotion.

It is not easy for a person to be promoted normally, not to mention that Cecilia was promoted, and she was promoted to more than one level!
  The so-called "severe state of weakness" is just a "temporary, white lie". The price Cecilia has to pay is far more serious than Ryan previously thought.

"Mr. Lane, as you can see, Cecilia is in a very bad condition right now." Phryne turned around, her eyes lowered, and even the fluorescent light floating around her seemed to have lost its luster. : "Although I have used my magic power to block it as much as possible, it can only delay the loss of Cecilia's life force and cannot block it."

“The ascension of ‘personality’ is essentially a process of breaking the old container and obtaining a new, bigger and better container.”

"In Cecilia's case, she took the initiative to break her old container without being prepared. Under the premise that she could not obtain a new container, she could only glue the old containers together, but the broken container, No matter how you repair it, water leakage will still occur.”

"So, I had to find a way to help her reshape a new container and add the water of life before the water in the 'vessel' drained out."

"How much longer? Is there anything I can do?" Ryan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

In this battle, if it hadn't been for Cecilia's sacrifice, the life and death of Freni, who was trapped in the [Black Cage], would have been uncertain. Once the [Black Knight] won, he would not be able to escape death.

He has to admit this love.

"No matter how much I stop her, Cecilia will not have more than a month left." Freni's tone was calm, but there was sadness and determination in her eyes: "Right now, our only hope is... Whirlpool Islands.”

"The Moon Wolf is an extremely rare second-level monster. Its appearance has never been regular. It may be on the mainland or in some uninhabited corner. But one thing that is certain is that the Moon Wolf is a kind of vitality. An extremely rich monster."    "It was born by bathing in the essence of the moon, so its heart blood has the miraculous effect of replenishing vitality."

"My original plan was just to collect some Moon Wolf hairs as the main ingredient for the potion. In this way, I wouldn't have to have too intense a head-on conflict with Moon Wolf."

"But now, our only hope is to hunt down the moon wolf and take out its heart blood!"

"Cecilia must never take action or use her spirituality again. Therefore, Mr. Lane, I need your help."

After saying this, Freni looked at the young man in front of her seriously, waiting for his answer.

Ryan did not hesitate and bowed slightly: "I am willing to serve you."

"In addition, Lady Freni, I have received favor from you. This is what I should do, not to mention helping."

"No, one code is the same." Freni shook her head slightly: "This trip is uncertain about life and death, and the risk is extremely high. I am very happy that you are willing to go with me."

Ryan was silent and said no more.

The sea breeze blew and the moonlight fell silent. After more than ten seconds, Freni spoke again: "...By the way, I'll give this to you. I think you might need it."

Two things were handed over by Freni, and Ryan took a closer look.

What he saw was a bright red flintlock pistol and a jet black ring.

Ryan recognized the former as the pistol used by the Lord in his last moments, but as for the other, he didn't know.

"Both of these are low-level rare items. The effect of the former is to absorb the user's blood and launch powerful shots. It comes from the Lord who died under your sword, while the latter can increase the wearer's resistance to energy attacks. Resistance comes from the Black Knight."

Freni's introduction rang in his ears, but in fact, without her introduction, Ryan already knew more clearly the effects of these two strange items through the prompts in gray fonts.

-

[Low-level rare item·Bloody Flintlock: With this item, you can use your own blood to launch powerful shots. The effective range is 100 meters, and the maximum range is 300 meters. Enemies hit by the "bloody bullet" will be additionally "bleeding". "As a result, ordinary treatment methods cannot stop the bleeding. Conditions of use: Each time you shoot, you need to consume one-tenth of your body’s blood (the higher the rank, the smaller the cost)]

[This strange object contains a weak essence of spirituality, which can improve the repair speed of [Unnamed Ship Sculpture] after being absorbed. 】

-

[Low-level rare item·Energy Resistance Ring: Those who wear this ring will receive 10% less energy attacks (there is a level judgment, it is fully effective in the face of first-level energy attacks, only 50% effective in the second-level, and completely ineffective in the third-level) .)】

[This strange object contains a weak essence of spirituality, which can improve the repair speed of [Unnamed Ship Sculpture] after being absorbed. 】

-

Silently taking the two low-level rare items from Freni's hands, Ryan put the [Ring of Energy Resistance] on the ring finger of his left hand, and on the ring finger of his right hand, he wore the [Ring of Black Eclipse]. As for [Bloody Flintlock] was pinned to his waist (complete with holster).

You can wear multiple rings at the same time. As long as you have them, you can wear them on all ten fingers.

Of course, the premise is not to wear a strange item ring with conflicting effects, otherwise, it will be self-defeating.
