Chapter 120 Miss Assassin's Curiosity, Night Moon and Black Cat (Subscription Request)

In the dim room, only a candle provided weak light.

Qingling felt like she had had a long, long dream.

In the dream, she fell into the bottomless mud. No matter how hard she tried, it was of no avail. Instead, the harder she struggled, the faster she fell.

Just when she gave up struggling and waited desperately for death, a ray of sword light appeared in front of her eyes. It tore through the dark and brutal mud. Then, a warm and powerful hand stretched out from behind the sword light and held it. He held her hand that was weakly lowered in despair.

The darkness in front of my eyes gradually faded.

Qing Ling opened her eyes, and the dim wooden ceiling was reflected in her pupils.

"This is where?"

She propped herself up, with a trace of confusion in her eyes as she just woke up, but soon, the memories before coma suddenly emerged from the depths of her mind: she was attacked by a man in black robe... and lost her body under the influence of the "Heart-Eating Seal" The ability to control... Before his vision fell into darkness, the domineering sword light came from the sky...

Instinctively, Qingling tightened her body and reached out to grab the dagger at her waist, but soon she realized something was wrong.

With the "Heart-eating Seal" in her body, she should be weak and spiritually exhausted even if she is awake, but her current condition is unexpectedly good.

Not only was the "Heart-eating Seal" completely removed from the body, but even the spirit was in a full state.

After the man in black robe captured her, would he kindly heal her injuries?

The answer is obviously no.

so……

"you're awake?"

At this moment, a male voice that was somewhat familiar to Qingling sounded next to her ears.

The moment she heard the sound, Qing Ling turned to look at the source of the sound. What came into her eyes was a middle-aged man leaning against the wall with a big sword on his back.

"...Zifeng?"

Seeing the person in front of her, Qingling's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and this relaxation made her almost collapse. Fortunately, with the support of her arms, she avoided embarrassment.

"Thanks."

After a brief silence, Qing Ling whispered.

The moment she saw Zifeng, she roughly knew the reason why she appeared here and was in good condition - there was no doubt that the bright sword light she saw before she fell into coma came from Zifeng, and also from Zifeng. It was him who saved him from three men in black robes.

Qingling had many doubts in her heart.

For example, in yesterday's battle with Green Wave, Zifeng, who could only injure him when Green Wave was careless and was definitely no match for him in a real fight, how did Zifeng defeat three men in black robes who were no match for her.

But at this moment, there is no point in worrying about this.

"You're welcome. As a member of the organization, I will lend a helping hand within my ability. Of course, according to the rules, you need to pay enough remuneration."

A deep voice came from Ryan's mouth, which was completely different from his usual voice.

"...Of course." Qing Ling nodded: "Let me use the information about the underground labyrinth in my letter for help as one of the rewards."

"But before I tell you this information, Zifeng, I can ask a question, where are the three men in black robes?"

"Run away." Ryan shook his head slightly: "Although those three people were seriously injured by me, their abilities are very strange. Even if they die, they can be resurrected at a certain cost. In the end, they fell into the black mud and escaped."

"That weird black mud is a bit like a teleportation array. Although they are no match for me, they escaped at the cost of serious injuries. I can't stop them."

"Did you escape..." Qing Ling let out a sigh of regret or pity: "This time I was attacked by a sneak attack and got the 'Heart-Eating Seal'. Next time, I will take revenge."

After sorting out her emotions, she looked at Ryan: "In addition to the information about the underground labyrinth, I will also give you a rare object as compensation. Do you need anything?"

Upon hearing this, Ryan's eyes moved slightly: "I want a space ring with a larger capacity. Do you have one there?"

"Yes." Qing Ling nodded, took out a ring with a main body of silver and dotted with cyan from her arms, and threw it to Ryan: "This [Ring of the Blue Sky] is a storage item that I specially made with the spirit blacksmith. The capacity of the ring is 10 meters in length, width and height.”

Looking at the ring in his hand, Ryan looked satisfied.

The space ring that Freni gave him at the beginning was just the most common standard space ring. The space it could hold was about 3 meters long, wide and high. It was much smaller than the one given by Qing Ling.

The space ring with a length, width and height of 10 meters is comparable to high-quality and low-end rare items in terms of quality.

It can't be said to be precious.

With this [Ring of the Blue Sky], even if it is a whole [Higher Level] One-horned Dragon, he can dismember it and install it completely.

Now, you no longer have to worry about wasting materials!

Thinking of this, Ryan was in a good mood, and his eyes towards Qing Ling became kinder.

Although this "frank" female knight, no, to be precise, it should be the female assassin who "marked" him in the past, which made him a little unhappy, but the position was different at that time, so there was no need to be too demanding.

It’s not because of the [Ring of the Blue Sky]!

Seeing Zifeng accept the ring, Qingling let out a breath, organized her words, and slowly began to speak:

"After I separated from you yesterday, I followed the clues I had and went to the center of the outlying island - the underground rift of St. Phil to investigate alone."

"Wait a minute, where is this 'Saint Phil Underground Rift' you are talking about?" After hearing the first sentence, Ryan frowned: "There is no such place name on the map I obtained."

The map in Ryan's hand came from the Witch Branch's Fantasy Witch Meloye. The information is much more detailed than on the market, but the name of the area "San Fellow Underground Rift" sounds big. If it really exists, why is there no display on the map?

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it." Qing Ling was not surprised by Zi Feng's doubts, and explained: "In fact, most of the residents of the outlying islands, from birth to death, don't know that there is such a place on the outlying islands."

"'San Fellow Underground Rift' is a sealed place, and its deepest part is the entrance to the underground maze."

"And where is the entrance to this hidden area, it is estimated that only the Libra Holy Church and the Saint Tos Royal Family know."

"Because of a coincidence, I got the information about the new entrance to the 'San Fellow Rift' and successfully lurked in."

"What surprised me is that the environment in the 'San Fellow Rift' is very bad, even the flow The flowing water source was also filled with dirt and black spots. When I arrived at the entrance of the 'underground maze', I saw a dozen black-robed men gathered there, seemingly performing some kind of ritual. But before I could take a closer look, I was attacked by the three black-robed men. "

Speaking of this, Qing Ling exhaled lightly: "I realized that something was wrong and immediately used the short-distance transmission artifact that I had arranged in advance, but the black-robed men's 'heart-eating seal' seemed to have a positioning function. Not long after, I was caught up by them. "

"You also know what happened later, so I won't say more."

"That's roughly the information. "

After listening to Qing Ling's narration, Ryan frowned, and his thoughts surged in his heart.

The Saint Phile underground rift... black-robed men... underground maze... some kind of ritual...

The emergence of new information made up for a link in his missing information. Ryan knew that everything that happened on the island in recent times was vaguely related to each other, but there was still a lack of the most important clue to connect these things together.

The only thing that can be confirmed at present is that these black-robed people are not simple people. The weird black spirituality makes people feel disgusted instinctively, and there is a sense of déjà vu of a cult. These people gathered in the "St. Phile Underground Rift Valley", and there must be no good things.

That's right!

Suddenly, Ryan's mind exploded.

According to Qingling, except for the new entrance that she accidentally knew, the original entrance was only in the hands of the Libra Holy Church and the Royal Family of Saint Tos.

This means that the reason why the black-robed organization can enter the "St. Phile Underground Rift Valley" must be inseparable from the Libra Holy Church or the Royal Family of Saint Tos.

The theft of the holy object caused the "sacred ceremony" to be unable to proceed normally, and then it made it impossible to completely seal the underground maze. These black-robed people had come to the entrance of the maze before the "Day of the Plenty Star"...

These factors combined made Ryan have a kind of "sacred theft" is not accidental inference.

But what is the meaning of doing this?

As a supernatural power, whether it is the Libra Holy Church or the Royal Family of Saint Tos, everything they do is based on interests and it is impossible to act arbitrarily.

The underground maze has existed for so many years. If there is any interest in it, the two supernatural forces should have acted long ago, and they would not have dragged it on until now.

Unless there is some kind of "accident"?

"Huh..."

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with this kind of brain-burning thinking, he prefers to solve it directly by force.

Fortunately, he is not from the Kingdom of Saint Tos. To be honest, he doesn't care too much about the situation here. When things really go wrong, he can just pat his butt and leave.

Tomorrow is the "Day of the Plenty Star". The undercurrent surging under the water will surely erupt by then.

And the only thing he needs to do is to protect himself, Freni and Cecilia while getting as much benefit as possible.

Of course, to be honest, it is still a bit reluctant to think about doing this with his current strength, and he needs to further improve his strength.

Thinking of this, Ryan no longer thinks about it and turns to walk out the door.

"The reward has been paid. We don't owe each other anything. If you need help in the future, you can come to me. Of course, you have to prepare the reward."

"This is a deserted village outside the city of Saint Tos. I have helped you clean up the mess on your body. You can leave on your own after you recover."

Looking at Zifeng's back disappearing in the night outside the door, Qingling pursed her lips and said nothing.

But in her heart, Zifeng seemed more and more mysterious.

"Who is he?"

Miss Assassin couldn't help but wonder curiously.

...

After parting with Qingling, Ryan took a detour and returned to the beach after making sure that no one was following him.

As soon as he returned here, he saw Furenyi sitting on a big rock by the sea, her light blue skirt fluttering in the sea breeze.

The soft moonlight covered the sea surface and also spread a blurred light band around the girl.

"What happened?" Furenyi's eyes were filled with worry.

She knew the purpose of Ryan's trip to Saint Tos City, and it was only to retrieve the entrusted weapons, so he would not return in a hurry at midnight.

There must have been some twists and turns in this process.

"I did encounter something." Ryan did not hide it, and there was no need to hide it. He told Furenni about his experience tonight.

"Black-robed people... strange black spirits..." Miss Witch frowned slightly, but soon relaxed: "Next time you meet these people, try to delay them and send a signal, I will go over to take a look."

"Do you know their identities?" Ryan asked curiously.

"I don't know, but your description gives me an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Maybe it's recorded in the books I've seen before. If I can experience it myself, I might be able to recall it." Freni said softly.

"Okay." Ryan nodded: "It's getting late, Captain, go to bed early. Tomorrow is the 'Day of the Plenty Star', and there may be some major changes on the island."

"You too." Freni nodded, and the fluffy hat on her head shook slightly: "... You've worked hard during this period."

"No, I should say that you've been working hard since we met."

"Why are you still talking about this?" Ryan waved his hand casually, turned around and walked towards his small cave: "Good night, Captain."

"Good night, I wish you a good dream." The girl's voice was mixed in the sea breeze and spread in the moonlight.

Back to the cave.

Ryan saw the grilled fish on the wooden stand on the ground, which was still slightly steaming. Because the griller's technique was still a little unfamiliar, one side of the grilled fish was slightly burnt.

Is it Freni...

Ryan smiled knowingly, picked up the grilled fish and chewed it in big mouthfuls.

... There was too much salt, and the grilling temperature was a little too high, so it could only be said to be barely acceptable.

But Ryan ate it with relish.

After eating, he did a simple exercise and then went to lie down on the stone bed.

It was past midnight, and it was time to start a new journey.

...

In the center of Saint Tos City, there stood a magnificent palace.

The colored glaze with carved beams and painted buildings reflected the neon light under the moonlight, which was extremely beautiful.

In the palace of the eldest princess.

Princess Water Drop sat quietly in the study, with a glass candle lamp burning quietly beside her.

She held a feather pen and wrote quietly on the desk.

In the empty study, there were only the swinging sound of the brass floor clock in the corner and the slight friction sound of the pen tip scratching the paper.

The wide-open window allowed the watery moonlight to flow in.

And a black kitten took advantage of the moonlight to jump to the window sill and walked lightly to the desk of the Water Drop Princess.

"Why are you here, little witch."

"Are you hesitating?"

The feather pen in the hand of the Water Drop Princess stopped, and she raised her head slightly. The blue-gold eyes that seemed to embrace the sea looked at the visiting "little black cat" with a faint smile.

Squatting on the desk, raising his paw and licking it gently, the little black cat spoke the human voice. If Ryan could hear it, he would know that the owner of this voice was the fantasy beast witch Meloye who had once crossed paths with him.

"If I hesitated, I wouldn't have persisted until now."

A cold voice sounded: "I just want to confirm with you again-is it really useful for us to do this and pay such a high price?"

"Of course." The smile in the eyes of the Water Drop Princess faded and became deep: "I am 100% sure."

"That's good." The little black cat looked deeply at the beautiful woman in front of him. In a trance, time seemed to have returned to a few months ago when she first came to the island.

...

The light and shadow changed.

When Ryan opened his eyes, he had arrived at the bamboo raft of the "Travel Land".

The unicorn horn emitting silver light and symbolizing "bravery" hung at the top of the mast, suppressing a group of bronze trophies underneath.

Ryan smiled slightly, walked to the campfire, and chose to teleport.

With the spreading sparks, he came to [Bonfire Point-Giant Tree Gap] and checked the situation of the [Fire Dragon Egg] as usual.

[47:52:25]

There are only about two days left before it can hatch!

Ryan was refreshed.

The little life hatched from this fire dragon egg has extraordinary qualifications. Born with red evolution, it is definitely not comparable to its parents. Its growth rate will never lose to Dayin, and it is hard to say whether it can even surpass Dayin.

After confirming that the [Fire Dragon Egg] was fine, Ryan teleported to [Bonfire Point-Corruption Abyss Outpost].

The familiar stench of decay once again rushed into his nose, and Ryan got up and left the bonfire point. This time, he did not go directly to find the [Upper Blood Claw Dragon].

After successfully defeating the [Upper] Unicorn and obtaining the certificate, he has not yet found the "Hidden Dragon Man".

This guy has a lot of good things on him.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the [Life Glass Bead].

This thing can be added during forging to produce additional special skills related to "life".

He mixed this thing with the materials of the [Upper] Unicorn and gave it to Master Jinchui. I don't know what special skills will be generated in the end.

I am looking forward to it.

Following the route in his memory, Ryan went around the underground cave for a while and finally came to the vicinity of the cave where the "Hidden Dragon Man" was.

Before entering, Ryan saw the "Spirit Deer" nibbling grass in the bushes beside the passage.

The two horns of this little guy are one long and one short, and the short one is obviously newly grown recently.

"Is it you?"

Ryan's eyes were full of smiles, and he recognized the little guy who dropped the [Spirit Deer Horn] after being frightened.

When they met again, the spirit deer did not run away in fear, but looked at Ryan curiously. It seemed that because of the transaction with the Hermit Dragon Man, Ryan's "reputation" in the spirit deer group had spread widely without his knowledge.

After touching the little guy's head, Ryan turned and walked into the cave.

The familiar tree came into view, Ryan pulled out the [Great Sword·True Red Crown Horn] behind him, inserted it into the ground, and then looked at the empty cliff and shouted:

"I have conquered the Desert Knight and obtained the True Red Horn, a certificate of bravery!"

"Hidden Dragon Man, please show yourself."

After a while, the figure of the Hermit Dragon Man slowly walked out of the hole on the cliff in Ryan's loud voice.

"...Hunter...Long time no see..."
