Chapter 114 The Most Romantic Greeting Between Knights! (Two Chapters in One)

When the light reappeared in front of him, Ryan immediately held his hand on the hilt of the big sword behind him. Although "Red Kite" said that he had adjusted his teleportation point to ten kilometers away from the entrance, who can guarantee that there will be no one around him? A member of the Libra Church?

It's always a good idea to be careful.

Looking around, he saw lush woods and no one in sight.

After observing for a while, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this is a forest on the outskirts of the island. It is basically impossible for people from the Libra Holy Cult to appear in this kind of place."

Without staying here longer, he left quickly.

after a while.

Beach, inside the hole in the rock wall.

Ryan, Freni, and Cecilia sat opposite each other. Between the three of them, there was a crackling bonfire.

"This is roughly what happened..."

Ryan finished describing a series of things he encountered after entering the city of Santos, including the "Overturned Palace"

"The Holy Cult of Libra, the Witches' Association, the Overturned Palace... With the theft of the 'sacred objects', forces in Santos City emerged one after another. At present, Santos City, and even the outlying islands, have gradually become the center of the whirlpool. "

Ryan's narration made Freni fall into deep thought. As for Cecilia, although she tried hard to keep looking like she was thinking, but from Ryan's point of view, compared to thinking, her pale silver color was slightly scattered. The pupils look more like they are in a daze?

Maybe it's my misunderstanding.

Ryan thought to himself.

After being quiet for a while, Freni said in a serious tone: "I think we can leave without being in such a hurry."

"Although the current city of Santos is in chaos, the core contradiction still lies in the 'sacred object', the 'sacred scale' and the 'underground labyrinth'."

"By some mistake, Mr. Lane, you became a member of the 'Overthrown Palace' and obtained a rare object that can avoid being tracked by the 'Holy Eye'. This is our advantage."

"Secondly, if the entrance to the underground labyrinth really opens on the 'Day of the Fengxing', it will be a rare opportunity."

"When you reach the level of third-level potion, you must cherish all the materials needed. If you look for them one by one on the sea, it will take too long."

"Although the twelfth seat of the Black Knight is dead, the Black Knight's pursuit will not end because of this. When they reach the Inland Sea Area, it will take longer for them to catch up with us, but they will eventually catch up one day, and there are After the failure of the 12th seat, the lineup of the Black Knight Chase team will never be that simple next time.”

"We don't have as much time as we think. We must become as strong as possible."

At the end of the sentence, Freni's tone became heavier.

"Mr. Lane, please don't think that the Black Knights are only as strong as this just because they defeated the Twelfth Seat."

"Actually, the last seats of the Black Knights, the eleventh and twelfth seats, are just positions set up by the Black Knights to inspire the Black Knights. Their existence has more honorary significance than practical significance."

"Starting from the tenth seat, the [Black Knight] who reaches the third level of hero profession is the real high-end power of the Black Knights."

"The strength of the third-level hero professionals is far superior to that of the second-level elites. Even if my strength has made great progress now, I am not sure that I can compete with the third-level hero professionals."

Freni's tone was serious, and Ryan nodded in agreement after hearing this - he revealed two trump cards, caught him by surprise, and barely managed to injure Hansal, the "Iris Knight". Playing again, facing the defensive Hansal, whether he can achieve such a result is still a matter of opinion.

From the perspective of hard power, there is still some gap between him and the third-level hero professional.

but……

"As long as I can successfully defeat any [high-level] special species during tonight's travels and advance to another level, I will be absolutely sure that I can compete with the third level!"

Ryan thought to himself.

Seeing Ryan's solemn expression, Freni was also a little relieved. What she was most worried about was that Ryan would not take the Black Knights seriously because he defeated the 12th Black Knight. If he was careless, something would happen. Big deal.

At the same time, Miss Witch secretly encouraged herself: She must work hard for tomorrow's "tour" to earn more spiritual essence and exchange it for the second-level items on the list. She has been coveting it for a long time.

The "observation" in the early hours of this morning was delayed due to the absorption of the holy blood. When I had time to enter the [Viewing Place], the [Observation Deck] had already appeared [Today's tour is over, please come back tomorrow] The words made Freni a little depressed.

At the same time, this also made Freni know something: a traveler's daily travels will not stop whether she visits or not. If she wants to benefit from her investment, she must visit as soon as she refreshes every morning. OK.

To put it bluntly, that mysterious island is so dangerous that travelers are at risk of falling off at any time.

…

After making the decision to stay on the outlying island and wait for an opportunity to observe the situation, Ryan left the cave and dug another small hole on the side.

This will be his temporary "dwelling" for the next few days.

Today's trip to Santos City took him a lot of time. The sun in the distance was beginning to set towards the west. He needed to adjust his state to cope with the challenges of the upcoming travel trip.

Although he was killed by a sneak attack by the [Superior] Blood Claw Dragon during his last traveling trip, before his death, he also successfully defeated the Bone Armor Dragon, allowing his traveling clone to be upgraded again.

But even so, he still wasn't sure if he could defeat a [superior] monster.

Currently, he had seen two [superior] monsters, the unicorn and the blood claw dragon, both of which showed terrifying strength far superior to that of the lower monsters.

Even the male fire dragon leader at the top of the lower monsters was slaughtered by these two [superior] monsters, and they were not at the same level at all.

Therefore, if he wanted to successfully defeat the [superior] monsters, he had to be very alert and make full preparations.

"Crackle..."

On the flickering bonfire, the grill slowly rotated, making the fat fish on the sticks emit a "sizzle" sound of oil, becoming golden and crispy.

After simply sprinkling a few grains of sea salt, Ryan handed the grilled fish to Freni and Cecilia opposite.

"Mr. Ryan, I didn't expect you to have this skill."

The fluffy hat kept shaking like a Q-elastic jelly in the sea breeze. The witch took the grilled fish, her eyebrows curved like crescents, and said with a smile: "The fragrance is very good, but I don't know how it tastes."

While speaking, she opened her mouth and took a bite gently.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes lit up: "It's delicious!"

The knight girl, whose long silver-white hair looked even more radiant in the moonlight, also tasted it lightly. Although she didn't say anything, her suddenly bright eyes and slightly nodded showed her approval of the grilled fish.

"Then eat more, I caught a lot." Ryan smiled.

Looking at the girl eating grilled fish, his heart gradually calmed down.

After taking office as [Glutton Hunter (First Level)], this kind of ordinary food can no longer satisfy his "appetite". Only monsters among monsters and special species of meat can satisfy his "hungry" gluttonous stomach.

Such meat was not suitable to be eaten in front of the two women, so he symbolically ate a piece of fish and then grilled fish for the two women.

"Mr. Ryan."

When Ryan lowered his head to grill the fish, he heard the clear and moving voice of the witch lady. He subconsciously turned his head and suddenly met a pair of bright eyes like stars.

"I have known you for such a long time, but I don't think I have asked you yet."

"What is your goal in sailing all the way?"

Hearing this question, Ryan was stunned for a moment.

"Goal...?"

Speaking of which, he himself had not thought about this question carefully.

Since crossing over to the present, he has been chased forward, and even now, he is still in the shadow of the Black Knights' pursuit.

After a long silence, Ryan turned away from the girl's sight and looked at the surging sea in the moonlight, saying softly: "This world is big and wonderful."

"But to be honest, I don't have any specific goals."

"Lady Frenie..."

"Just call me Frenie, or even Captain." The wide shadow of the hat brim covered the girl's face, making it impossible to see her expression: "We are partners, aren't we? Calling adults is too unfamiliar."

"...Okay." Ryan smiled faintly: "Captain, thanks to your grace, I was able to survive the storm that day."

"It was also with your help that I was able to enter the world of professionals."

"I remember your goal was to go to the depths of the sea and reach the golden tree."

"Although I don't know what you are going to do there, but..."

"Before I find my goal, can I follow you and see the brilliant scenery along the way?"

"Hua La La..."

The sound of waves hitting the beach was clear to the ears, and a cluster of flames exploded on the dry firewood.

Furenee stood up all of a sudden, holding the witch hat on her head with both hands, turned around as usual, and walked towards the cave behind.

But the ever-increasing pace still exposed the girl's panic.

"Whatever you want."

Looking at the girl's back, Ryan smiled, and suddenly felt that the character that his captain had always shown outside might just be her disguise. Her true appearance had long been frozen under the influence of the cruel external environment.

As the two of them knew each other for a longer time and experienced more and more time together, this solid layer of ice was quietly melting a little bit, like spring water seeping into the soil.

The knight girl on the side was still puffing her cheeks and eating grilled fish in big mouthfuls. In her hands, a grilled fish was only left with clean fish bones in less than three seconds. Her fish-eating skills were perfect.

Looking at Freni's back, she blinked, looked at the grilled fish on the grill reluctantly, and finally stood up with pain and followed Freni.

"Hey, Cecilia."

Ryan shouted with a smile: "The last batch of grilled fish is also grilled, you can take it with you."

Miss Wolf's face did not change at all, but her eyes were much brighter.

Sitting alone on the beach, Ryan's eyes became distant.

"My goal... What a luxury..."

After blowing the sea breeze for a while, he also stood up and walked towards his "snail house".

It was not far from midnight, and it was time to start a new round of travel.

...

The sight in front of him turned from black to bright, and the feeling of weightlessness and falling gradually disappeared.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what he saw were eleven miniature bronze trophies hanging on the mast of the raft.

Lian paused as his eyes fell on the eleventh trophy.

Speaking of which, after successfully defeating the Bone Armor Dragon on his last trip, he picked up the trophy, but because of the sneak attack by the [Upper] Blood Claw Dragon, he had not had time to check it.

As Ryan stared at it intently, this skull-shaped trophy showed specific properties.

——

[Trophy: Bone Armor Dragon's Hard Skull]: Bronze-level trophy, the Bone Armor Dragon's extremely solid skull. Attached special skill [Stun Enhancement lv.1]: Your attack is more likely to make the monster fall into a fainting state.

——

Looking at the skill [Stun Enhancement], Ryan's eyes showed joy.

"Fainting state" is an abnormal state that is very useful in his attack on monsters. Every time a monster falls into a "fainting state", it is a great opportunity for him to charge his great sword to output.

Now, [Sword Drawing Skill·Force] + [Stun Enhancement], with the blessing of these two special skills, if he attacks the monster's head, it is very easy to make them fall into "fainting".

Nodding with satisfaction, Ryan walked to the campfire and chose to teleport.

With scattered sparks floating in front of his eyes, Ryan first came to [Campfire Point-Giant Tree Gap] to check the situation of the fire dragon egg.

After a few days of nourishment by the "Red Crystal", its condition has improved a lot, and the panel also shows the exact hatching time.

[71:22:46]

It's about three days.

"Not bad."

Ryan nodded. As for the treatment of the fire dragon egg after hatching, he already had a preliminary plan in his mind.

Teleporting again, when Ryan opened his eyes, he had arrived at [Campfire Point-Rotten Abyss Outpost].

A faint stench of decay rushed into his nose. Ryan looked in the direction of the "Rotten Miasma Abyss", hesitated for a moment, and gave up the plan to attack the [Upper] Blood Claw Dragon first.

Compared with the [Upper] Unicorn, the [Upper] Blood Claw Dragon is more like a bloodthirsty killer hidden in the thick miasma. The influence of the poisonous miasma will undoubtedly make the process of conquering it more difficult.

Comparatively speaking, it is more certain to conquer the [Upper] Unicorn, which has had a confrontation.

Ryan looked up and looked at the hole above the campfire.

The cave wall was covered with tough vines, and it was easy to climb up.

"Since I have to go to the ground anyway, I might as well climb up from here and take a look."

Ryan thought so and started to act immediately.

With a power accumulation in his legs, he jumped high. Before he fell, he grabbed the vines with one hand and then climbed up quickly.

The cave entrance was a bit narrow, so Ryan had to put his scales into the space ring and climbed out smoothly.

The dazzling and hot sun coming towards him made him squint his eyes instinctively.

After his pupils adapted to the change in light, he looked around.

Ryan was currently in a small rocky mountain protruding from the desert, and around it, there were rocks of various sizes and shapes everywhere.

"The second petal area?"

From the general situation of the terrain, Ryan initially determined the area he was in.

Being on the high ground, Ryan quickly found the wall separating the "first petal area" and the "second petal area".

After jumping off the small rocky mountain, he carefully checked the surroundings, but did not see any monsters, and even did not see any traces of creatures living there.

Ryan could understand this.

After all, compared to the "favorable" environment of the underground caves with abundant water sources and no exposure to the scorching sun, the environment on the surface is really too harsh.

Even monsters with strong physical fitness would find it difficult to survive in such an environment.

But relatively speaking, the monsters that can survive in such an environment are all monsters among monsters, such as the [upper] unicorn.

And the "second petal area" should also have similar existences, otherwise the [upper] unicorn would not have returned out of fear.

Taking a step, Ryan headed towards the cliff wall where the two places meet.

Searching along the way, he soon found the gap left by the collision of the [Upper] Unicorn in the past.

Looking at the hole in front of him that was more than ten meters high and the cracks that spread for dozens of meters on the cliff wall, Ryan took a deep breath.

"Huh..."

Before stepping into the "First Petal Area", he checked his equipment.

[Umbrella Fire Scale Armor Set] was already dressed, [Light Crossbow·Ice Crushing] had enough crossbow arrows, [Bloody Flintlock] could be used at any time, and the strange rings [Black Eclipse Ring] and [Energy Resistance Ring] were worn on both hands. As for the most important main weapon in this battle, [Great Sword·Ferocious Ice Flower]... Ahem, no, it was the dark gold blood pattern gloves [Embrace of Blood] on his hands, which could also be activated at any time to materialize the "Blood Great Sword".

After making sure everything was in place, Ryan walked into the gap in the cliff wall and stepped into the "First Petal Area".

The howling strong wind blew, carrying thick yellow sand.

Compared with the "Second Petal Area", the wind and sand in the "First Petal Area" are stronger, perhaps this is deeply related to the scarcity of water sources and the open ground in the "First Petal Area".

Such thick sand and dust have a great impact on vision. Even with Ryan's inhuman physique now, it is difficult to see the situation fifty meters away.

Standing on the beach, Ryan did not blindly look around for the traces of the [Upper] Unicorn, but took a deep breath and roared: "Unicorn, come out!"

In the last battle, the unicorn was still able to accurately track him on the ground after burrowing into the ground, which made Ryan know that this monster's hearing and perception of vibration were extremely sharp.

Ryan did not waste his energy to set up a "hole trap". First, there is no "hole trap" in the desert, and second, even if it is barely made, it will not work against monsters that can burrow into the ground.

"Come out... come out... come..."

Ryan's voice continued to spread in the strong wind.

About three minutes later, a huge black shadow slowly came in the distant wind and sand.

The true red spiral unicorn pointed obliquely to the sky, like a spear, as if to poke a hole in the sky.

The wings that have become extremely solid and rough under the hammer of wind and sand over the years are the strongest shield in the knight's hand.

The intersection of spears and shields, the knight in the desert took slow steps and walked towards the "provocateur" step by step.

Ryan raised his right hand, and a blood-red light appeared on the dark gold glove. The next moment, a blood-red sword with a sharp blade full of serrations appeared in the air, and he held the hilt firmly.

The sword pointed diagonally to the ground, forming a perfect parallel line with the true red unicorn.

Ryan took a step and walked towards the [upper] unicorn step by step.

Face to face, no avoidance, no retreat.

This is the most romantic greeting between knights!
