Chapter 153 The Dragon Egg Hatches, [Purple Flame King]!
Santos Palace.
When Ryan, led by the pure white female knight, went all the way deep and finally arrived at the palace study, it was already more than ten minutes later.
Stepping inside, you will see a variety of bookshelves with dark yet luxurious colors.
The Water Drop Princess Ariel sat behind the desk, and beside her stood the Ice Witch Shelia.
Seeing Ryan arriving, Ariel had a faint smile on her face: "Mr. Zifeng, please sit down."
"I just recovered from my illness last time and was not in a good state of mind. I couldn't communicate with you properly about many things."
"Now that I have sorted out the situation a little bit and roughly cleared it up, I finally have time to have a long talk with you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Ryan shook his head and sat down on the chair in front of the desk.
"Mr. Zifeng is preparing to leave." Although Ariel's words were a question, she used an affirmative tone.
Ryan did not deny it: "Everything is done, it's time to continue the journey."
Hearing this, Ariel said softly: "I reviewed the recent intelligence last night and found that the inland sea area is not stable."
"Especially the 'magnetic sea area' that must be crossed in order to enter the new sea area in the inland sea area. For some reason, sea monsters appear from time to time, which is extremely dangerous."
"Every year in the 'Golden Autumn Moon', the magnetic sea area is not peaceful, but this year it is obviously more unstable."
"If possible, Mr. Zifeng, you'd better wait for the 'Golden Autumn Moon' before trying to cross the magnetic sea area."
"Magnetic sea area? Sea monster?" Ryan's eyes showed curiosity.
The nautical charts of the inland sea area are top secret and are not sold even in shops. However, Ryan does not know the situation of the inland sea area.
Seeing Ryan's expression, Ariel suddenly understood. She took out a roll of map from the space ring and handed it to Ryan: "This is a navigation chart drawn by the royal family. The detailed map is relatively high. You can take a look first."
Ryan took the map and spread it out. Suddenly, a navigation chart with dense records came into his eyes.
It can be seen that the overall outline of the inland sea area is similar to a fan shape, and the location of the offshore islands is in the middle of the fan-shaped area.
"Starting from the mainland, you can reach the Golden Tree in four directions: east, west, north, and south. And the sea area we belong to should be called the 'inland sea-southern area' to be precise."
"Continuing to sail south, we need to cross the extremely dangerous 'magnetic sea area' before we can reach the 'new sea area'."
"According to rumors, various terrifying sea monsters appear from time to time in the Xinhai District, and there are countless strange and unpredictable storm disasters. Level 4 strength is only the threshold for adventure in the Xinhai District."
"I personally suggest that if you continue sailing, you can first go to Tianqing Island in the south, which is closest to the 'Magnetic Sea Area', and use it as a base to stay until the 'Golden Autumn Moon' passes before sailing south."
"It just so happened that recently, the Azure Fruit on Azure Island was about to mature. The Azure Sword Dojo held a swordsmanship competition using this as a prize. The competition lasted for one month. Anyone can participate regardless of their status, and the champion will get it. 'Azure Fruit'."
"That's the main ingredient of the 'Pirate Path' third-level potion."
"Mr. Zifeng, your swordsmanship skills are superb. If you participate, you can at least be ranked in the top five."
Hearing this, Ryan looked surprised: "Just, top five?"
He had heard about the news about Tian Qingdao and the Kendo Competition as early as the previous meeting in the Overturned Palace.
"I have learned about your swordsmanship through many channels, and I don't mean to underestimate you." Water Drop Princess Ariel explained softly:
"The annual Sky Sword Kendo Competition already attracts many contestants, many of whom are in the fourth level. This year is particularly special. According to rumors, the sword head of the Sky Sword Kendo Hall has become old and decrepit, and they want to choose one person for this competition. , to inherit the 'Holy Artifact - Azure Sword'."
"Holy weapons are different from holy objects. Only the pinnacle of weapon types and high-level rare objects are qualified to be named 'sacred weapons'."
"Due to the influence of the 'Holy Artifact - Azure Sword', this year's Azure Sword Competition is particularly fierce. Among the current participants, there are already peak fourth-level professionals."
Speaking of this, Princess Shui Drop paused, as if she remembered something, and explained: "Mr. Zifeng, you can defeat Pope Libra whose spirituality has been suppressed to the third level. There is no doubt that your strength is better than that of a first-time fourth-level professional." Stronger, but..."
"The career path starts from the fourth level, and the gap between each small level starts to become very large."
"First-level professionals are also called low-level professionals, second- and third-level professionals are called mid-level professionals, and starting from the fourth level, they are respectfully called high-level professionals."
"Generally speaking, based on the degree of career compatibility, it is divided into four levels: entry-level, senior, peak, and extreme."
"For talented people, it is still possible to fight across levels at the middle and low levels, but starting from level 4, it is extremely difficult to fight across small stages."
"At every small stage, there is a huge spiritual gap, and it is too difficult to make up for it..."
Speaking of this, Ariel paused for a moment. She thought of the "freak" in front of her who had only the second level of spirituality, and suddenly she didn't know what to say.
The combat power of the second-level duel is comparable to that of the fourth-level monster, and he can even win. How outrageous is this.
Ryan nodded clearly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
According to his knowledge.
The normal spiritual range of a fourth-level professional is roughly between 30 and 100. Although I don't know how the four stages are divided, if they are divided equally, there will be at least a 17-point difference in each stage.
This is not a small amount.
Such a significant spiritual gap cannot be bridged by ordinary means.
"It seems that this small-stage gap will become more obvious in the later stages..."
Ryan thought to himself.
After thinking about it like this, he also understood why Ariel only dared to say that he was in the top five.
If a fourth-level extreme professional with 100 [Spirituality] participates, with his current [Physique] of 48.92 and [Spirituality] of 24, the gap is indeed somewhat obvious.
Even the top five mentioned by Ariel are actually quite flattering.
"In short." Ariel said softly: "With your current strength, it will be a little difficult to win the championship, but being able to compete with many swordsmen will probably help your swordsmanship a lot."
"Although I don't practice swordsmanship, I have also learned that it is difficult to make progress in the practice of swordsmanship just behind closed doors. Communicating more with other people may bring about different insights."
"So, I understand." Ryan nodded.
…
Shenjiu Hotel, Room 101.
Freni stood alone by the window, staring expressionlessly at the blue sky in the distance.
After more than ten seconds, her face suddenly fell down and she looked like she was about to cry without tears:
"I'm so stupid, really..."
Recalling her sightseeing trip last night, Miss Witch felt like she couldn't breathe smoothly.
She originally thought that the battle between Traveler and the [Grand Rank] Sword-Slaying Dragon would eventually end in Traveler's defeat.
But never thought that the Traveler didn't know how he did it, but he could win the [Grand Rank] Sword-Slaying Dragon with 49 combat power points, which had 52 combat power points...
And she chose to give up investing because of the last time the Travelers were defeated by the [Grand Rank] Explosive Dragon... Thinking of this, Freni's heart ached even more.
Adhering to the principle that if you don't make a profit, you will lose. This time, she lost at least tens of thousands of spiritual essences.
Sighing, Freya took a few deep breaths, barely suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and prepared to go downstairs to have breakfast to adjust her mood.
But at this moment, a faint blue light appeared in her pupils, and in a daze, she saw a dark warship heading towards the outlying island.
The ferocious huge horn on the head of the battleship is particularly eye-catching.
"black Knight……"
When her vision returned to normal, Freni lowered her head slightly and whispered to herself.
…
When Ryan returned to the hotel and opened the door, he saw Freni sitting at the desk.
Miss Witch lowered her head slightly. After hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head, and the big fluffy cotton-like hat on her head swayed.
"captain?"
Ryan was a little surprised, but walked in anyway: "You want to see me for something?"
"Sorry." Freni's voice was a little low: "I entered your room privately."
"It doesn't matter." Ryan shook his head. Everyone had slept together in the wilderness, so this little thing naturally didn't matter. Looking at Freni, who was a little restless, he said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"The Black Knights are coming after us."
Freni pursed her lips: "My magic power allows me to accidentally see some pictures that threaten me."
"Judging from the type of the battleship in the picture, the black knight who is chasing us this time has a very high seat."
"It's very possible that it's the existence of the third rank, which is the absolute powerhouse in the fourth level. Even the fourth level witch is their hunting target."
Upon hearing this, Ryan's eyes narrowed.
He has never forgotten the threat of the Black Knights, but he did not expect that after the twelfth Black Knight was eliminated, the Black Knights would send people to chase him again so soon.
And depending on the situation, the Black Knights are by no means the kind of organization that only sends stronger Black Knights to "send experience" to them every time. Apprehend.
"Do you know how far away they are from us?" Ryan asked.
"Not sure." Freni shook her head: "But the battleship of the Black Knight of the Third Seat is already a rare object battleship. It sails very fast. Even if it sets off from the Silver Moon Port to the outlying islands in the inland sea area, it will not reach the island at most. More than 10 days.”
"Mr. Lane, we have to find a suitable ship and set off as soon as possible."
Freni had no intention of staying on the island.
She doesn't like to bring her troubles to others, even if she knows that the current owner of the outlying island, Princess Ariel, is also a witch.
At the moment, Ariel has just recovered, and her strength is definitely not as good as it was at her peak. If she were to face the Black Knight of the Third Middle School, she would most likely not be her opponent.
Instead of staying and dragging down Ariel, they should set sail as soon as possible.
As long as she is given enough time, Freni is confident that one day she will be able to defeat the Black Knight in the third place.
Ahem... Although she was very reluctant to admit it, Freni also knew that before her, with Mr. Lane's growth rate, it would not be long before she would be able to compete with the Black Knights in the third place in the middle school.
What Mr. Lane lacks most is also time.
Therefore, it is urgent to set sail from the outlying islands.
"Ship..." Hearing Freni mention this, Ryan remembered that he had not shown it to her after getting the [Goddess of Victory].
"I already have a suitable one."
"In the treasury of the Saint Tos royal family, I found a damaged high-level wonder ship, which can be used after repair."
Freni blinked. Although she didn't know how Mr. Ryan repaired the high-level wonder, it didn't hinder her excitement: "High-level wonder ship? Come on, take me to see it."
As a captain, although a bit amateur and a novice, Miss Witch is very enthusiastic about the new ship.
"Call Miss Cecilia, let's go together."
After a while.
In the sea a few kilometers south of the island, Ryan, Freni and Cecilia stood on the blue hand formed by Freni's magic.
Under the expectant gaze of the two women, the space ring in Ryan's hand flashed, and a mysterious warship appeared in his hand.
With Ryan's light throw, the mini battleship landed on the sea not far away, and the next moment, the size of the battleship began to soar!
Soon, a noble warship appeared in front of the three people.
The warship did not have a mast in the traditional sense, because it was not driven by wind energy. The smooth and blue hull was almost the same color as the sea water. If you observe from a distance, it will be very difficult to find.
The most eye-catching thing is the creation at the front of the bow.
It was a sculpture shaped like an angel, with his hands crossed in front of him, forming a round hole, giving people a feeling of compassion for the world.
"So beautiful..."
Looking at the warship in front of her, Freni couldn't help but speak.
Cecilia on the side did not speak, but her dilated silver pupils and slightly opened cherry lips proved that her inner shock was no less than Freni's.
"My dear captain, please come on board and take a look." Ryan smiled and bowed, making an invitation gesture.
Freni retracted her gaze, looked at Ryan, who was "exaggerated", and glanced at him unhappily, but still controlled the blue hand and brought the three people to the ship.
It was half an hour later when the three of them finished touring the rooms of the warship.
From Ryan, Freni also learned about the general performance and special effects of this high-level wonder ship, but there was one thing that she was not very satisfied with:
"Mr. Ryan, you said the name of this ship is [Goddess of Victory]?"
"I don't think it's good."
"Since it's already ours, why not change the name to [Black Rose]?"
"Well, it's a happy decision."
Ryan didn't say anything, but thought silently in his heart: The captain is really a nostalgic person. He has changed so many ships, but the name of the ship is still the original one.
"After we finish the supply tonight, we will start to travel south." Ryan said.
Freni and Cecilia have no objection to this.
"By the way."
Suddenly, Ryan remembered something and said, "Captain, let me give you a gift."
"Gift?"
Freni blinked, and curiosity appeared in her eyes.
"This is a monster egg I got by accident, and it's about to hatch."
"You know me, I always rush to the front in battle, and I don't like monster pets."
A half-human-high giant egg with a red pattern on the surface was placed on the ground by Ryan.
Looking at this dragon egg that is about to hatch, Ryan felt a little emotional.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to give this dragon egg to Freni.
On the one hand, Freni, as a witch of long-range casting type, needs a meat shield to block damage, and the special species with thick skin and flesh is obviously very suitable.
On the other hand, the little life in this dragon egg is a special species evolved from innate red dazzle, with extraordinary potential. If it is given to others, Ryan will not be willing to give it.
Therefore, Freni is the most suitable candidate.
This dragon egg has reached the hatching time, but it has been stored in the space ring, so it cannot be hatched.
Now, as soon as it leaves the special environment in the space ring, cracks begin to appear on the surface.
"Monster egg?"
Looking at the thing in front of her, Freni was stunned.
She didn't expect that Mr. Ryan would give her such a precious thing.
The little monsters that have just been born in the monster eggs usually have great intimacy with the first creature they see after they are born, which is also the basis for collecting a pet.
Although Freni didn't know what monster left this monster egg, she could sense that the little life that was about to be bred in this egg was definitely not ordinary.
Before Freni could say anything else, Ryan and Cecilia had already retreated more than ten meters away.
"Crack..."
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and soon, the eggshell full of red patterns shattered, and a little life emerged from it.
Its body surface was covered with fine, black and purple scales, and the two small wings tucked behind it had patterns shaped like red lotus flames.
It slowly opened its eyes, and in its transparent and pure dragon eyes, Freni's appearance was reflected, and it made a tender and soft moan.
Not far behind, Ryan looked at the little fire dragon that was born, and his eyes flashed with amazement.
Although he had long known that the Fire Dragon evolved from the Natural Red Flame had extraordinary potential, he had never expected it to be so terrifying.
Ryan looked at the prompt that appeared on the panel in front of him.
