After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 82 Special Spirituality-Crazy Moonlight
  [Black Rose], captain's room.

Ryan, Freni, and Cecilia looked at each other. For a moment, the scene became a little solemn.

"News from Santas."

"We have an uninvited guest from the Whirlpool Islands."

"Three black knights, one of them is the twelfth-ranked black knight."

There was a rare seriousness in Freni's voice.

"How strong is the Seat Black Knight?"

Ryan said solemnly.

He has seen the strength of the Black Knight before. Although it is strong, with him and Freni teaming up, it is not a big problem. However, the strength of this so-called "Black Knight of Seats" is beyond his knowledge. .

"..." Freni paused: "The structure of the Black Knights is very simple, with ordinary members and thirteen black knights who lead the ordinary members."

"Generally speaking, Black Knights carry out missions alone. Only under the leadership of the Black Knight in the seat can it be possible for several people to act at the same time."

"There are thirteen Black Knight seats. Each one is selected from the Black Knights. They are the best among the best."

"The last three seats, namely the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth seats, can only be occupied by 'second-level extreme professionals'. They were promoted to the second level with [-]% compatibility at the first level. Their strength is compared to The average second-level professional is much stronger."

"Furthermore, the Black Knights have carried out brand-new reforms since the 'Despicable' took over. They have added 'Demon Suppression Stone' to their professional system. My magic power will be severely weakened when facing them."

"Unless I can advance to the second level, I have almost no chance of winning against the black knight of the seat."

"Despicable person..." Ryan was attracted by this title. This was the second time he heard this title from Freni. However, seeing that Freni had no intention of explaining, he did not ask and turned to road:

"Now the Black Knight appears on the Whirlpool Islands. Fortunately, we left the 'One-Eyed' Santas as a secret agent, so we got the news in time."

"It's just that in this way, I have to collect the material for your second-level potion - withered star vine, a plant-like monster that lives in the western outer area of ​​the Ringing Gold Forest."

"Under the current situation, you will definitely not be able to go ashore again before you are promoted to the second level."

Phryne was silent.

Although she knew that after the last encounter with the Black Knights, subsequent pursuits by the Black Knights would follow, she did not expect that the Black Knights would arrive so quickly.

In order to deal with her who was only at the first level, one seat black knight and two ordinary black knights were even dispatched.

"Lady Freni, Mr. Lane..."

At this time, the knight girl who had been silent until now spoke.

"Let's go."

"Leave the Whirlpool Islands, this way, you can directly avoid the pursuit of the Black Knights."

"I believe that if I give you enough time, Lady Freni, the Black Knights will not be a threat after all."

The girl's voice was as cold as ever.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she was directly rejected by Freni: "Cecilia, don't say such words again."

"I hate sacrificing my partners in exchange for so-called 'safety.'"

"The fact that the Black Knights can track them here means they have some kind of tracking method that we don't know about."

"Although I don't know why they didn't come to us directly, but collected information through the pirates."

"But blindly running away will not have a fundamental effect."

"The main ingredients of the 'Scholar's Path' second-level potion are very precious, and there are few substitutes. It is not easy to find them here in the Whirlpool Islands. If you miss it, you don't know when you want to encounter it again. "

"We have no way out."

"We must deal with the pursuers of the Black Knights at the Whirlpool Islands, get the Moon Wolf source blood, and then sail into the inner sea area. Once there, it will not be that simple if the Black Knights want to catch up with us." Freni's tone was a little excited.

Cecilia was silent, and after a few seconds, she whispered: "I'm sorry, Lady Freni..."

"Huh..." Freni breathed out softly: "I'm a little excited."

She turned to look at Ryan and saluted deeply: "Mr. Ryan, as you said, I really can't go ashore until I am promoted to the second level."

“I’ll leave it to you to collect the ‘Withered Star Vine’.”

After witnessing the battle between Ryan and "One-Eyed" Santas, Freni had a preliminary judgment on Ryan's strength - he could compete with ordinary second-level elite professionals with a first-level body, and even suddenly become violent. Underneath, there is still the possibility of victory.

This kind of strength is enough to protect oneself in the Whirlpool Islands without exposing one's identity.

Although she didn't understand how Mr. Lane, who had just become a first-level professional some time ago, did this, Freni didn't intend to ask.

Everyone has their own secrets.

All she can do is trust her partners and offer her full help.

"You're welcome." Ryan smiled: "Without further ado, I will take a boat ashore alone later and try to complete the hunt for the 'Withered Star Vine' today."

"Sorry to trouble you." Freni nodded: "I'm going to prepare the 'Cleaning Potion', you bring it with you. Although from the intelligence point of view, there shouldn't be that kind of strange power outside the Mingjin Forest that makes people 'lose control'. But it’s better to be on the safe side.”

"Okay." Ryan nodded slightly. He glanced at Cecilia, who had her head lowered: "Then, I'm going to practice outside."

"Well, okay, I'll call you."

As Ryan left, in the captain's room, Cecilia raised her head and wanted to say something, but all she saw was Freni's back walking towards the compartment:
  She pursed her lips, and finally remained silent.

……

Before I knew it, it was dusk.

A figure in a hooded robe appeared on the western edge of Mingjin Island.

After parking the boat, Ryan raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.
  As the central island of the Five Whirlpool Islands, there is a silent volcano in the center of Mingjin Island. The Mingjin Forest is a large forest surrounding the volcano.

The purpose of Ryan's trip is to find the withered star vine, a plant monster that lives in the outer area of ​​the Ringing Gold Forest.

Compared with animal monsters, plant monsters have a stronger sense of territory and rarely leave their territory, which makes it easier for Ryan to search.

Following the instructions on the map, Ryan stepped into the Mingjin Forest and soon came to the territory of the Withered Star Vine, and began to search silently.

Because of the tacit agreement between the three major pirate groups to retreat, during this period, few pirates continued to come to explore the Mingjin Forest, and the few scattered ones were all small pirate groups who did not know the depth.

The quiet dense forest at dusk seemed a bit breathtaking.

Ryan walked slowly, holding the hilt of the sword behind him with his right hand to guard against possible attacks at any time.

"rustle……"

A gentle breeze blew through the woods, causing the branches and leaves to sway.

Ryan frowned. There was a faint, indescribable smell in the flowing air, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When he reached a certain point, his eyes suddenly focused.

Because hints in gray fonts appeared on the hanging vines of a nearby big tree.

[Withered Star Vine: A plant monster that likes to bathe in starlight at night and strengthen itself by absorbing the spirituality in starlight. It likes to disguise itself as an ordinary vine during the day. Affected by the "Special Spirituality - Crazy Moonlight", this withered star vine began to consume the blood of living creatures and became extremely manic, greatly increasing its danger. 】
