Chapter 221 The Scarlet Witch's "Intentions"
Hua La La...Boom... "
The rolling waves engulfed the wreckage of the ship, and all the personnel on the two warships were buried together.
Ryan lowered his head and looked at the space rings he had confiscated from the Chief Black Knight, the Third Black Knight and the other six Black Knights.
The higher-level space rings have a master recognition program, and it is difficult to break them. At least Ryan can't do it, and neither can Freni.
But just because he can't do it doesn't mean that Scarlet Witch can't do it.
Runes are a very magical ability.
Ryan is going to send these space rings to Scarlet Witch to see if she can crack them. If she can, she will get a lot of money. After all, they are the space rings of the lowest legendary professionals, and it is really difficult to crack them. It doesn't matter, just "feed" the [Unknown Ship Sculpture].
After the repair is completed, the [Unknown Ship Sculpture] can still improve its level by absorbing strange objects, but the number of strange objects required...
Ryan didn't want to think about it, for fear that his heart couldn't bear it.
Putting away these space rings, Ryan's eyes fell on the waves where the battleship was destroyed, and his eyes were slightly solemn.
The chief black knight's smile of relief before his death made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
However, the panel did not show any "marked" prompts, and he scanned his whole body and there was no abnormality.
After confirming that there was no problem several times in a row, although he still felt a little uncomfortable, Ryan temporarily suppressed his thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go back. "
Ryan's voice awakened Weiya from her daze.
She came back to her senses, but there was still a strong shock in the depths of her eyes.
She thought Mr. Zifeng was very strong, but she didn't think he would be so strong.
Those were two fleets led by the chief and the third black knight! Just like that, they were destroyed so easily?
Although she thought she was not weak, the limitation of magic made Weiya dare not say that she could escape even when facing the weakest legend. Now, those few black knights who had just entered the legend were just nameless passers-by in the hands of Mr. Zifeng, without causing any waves... …
Such strength is definitely not inferior to that of Lord Scarlet! In fact, it may be...
The Snow Wing Girl shook her head vigorously.
She controlled the magic of wind and took herself and Mr. Purple Wind back to the Witch Island.
The invisible ripples and vortexes were surging.
Ryan, who had just passed the barrier and entered the Witch Island, saw the Scarlet Witch floating in the air and Furenee following behind her.
After one day of absence, the Scarlet Witch's condition has recovered to its peak.
At least, the injuries and magic power are like this.
As for whether her damaged "Rune Mech" has been repaired, Ryan did not know.
"Solved?"
Although it was a question, the Scarlet Witch said it in a positive tone.
She knew very well that the Chief Black Knight and the Third Black Knight alone could not be Mr. Ryan's opponents.
The only question is how long they can last in the hands of Mr. Ryan.
"Yeah." Ryan nodded.
The Scarlet Witch nodded slightly, and then whispered: "Follow me. "
"Weiya, you stay."
Under the guidance of the Scarlet Witch, Ryan came to the top of the mountain in the center of the Witch Island.
This is the central place of the Witch Island.
However, there are no luxurious buildings on this mountain. There is only an ordinary cabin and a small courtyard in front of the cabin.
Sitting down at the table and chairs in the small courtyard, the Scarlet Witch poured a cup of steaming black tea for Ryan and Freni. After the two sipped it, she looked at Ryan with a serious tone:
"Mr. Ryan, the Black Knights have been chasing witches all the time, and the Black Knights in the top three seats have strength that ordinary witches cannot resist. "
"Except for the Kingdom of Augustus, the five member states of the Alliance of Nations have organizations similar to the Black Knights. "
"But I have never taken the initiative to wipe out these legendary Black Knights. Do you know why? "
Ryan shook his head and listened to the Scarlet Witch's story quietly.
The Scarlet Witch didn't expect Ryan to answer, and continued to talk to herself:
"Because it doesn't make much sense."
"Each of the twelve seats of the Black Knights has a special way of inheritance. Even if one is killed, they can quickly be born through this special inheritance."
"Of course, the higher the seat, the greater the cost of accepting the inheritance."
"Special professionals such as the Black Knights, who are trained by the Committee to hunt witches, have essentially lost the possibility of being promoted to demigods."
"If so, it is a good plan to spend some effort to regularly clear a wave of the top three Black Knights and consume the strength of the Committee. The problem is..."
The Scarlet Witch's expression became solemn: "The top three Black Knights have a trace of the Golden Church on their bodies. In order to avoid being locked, I usually try to avoid meeting them. "
"The Golden Church? "Ryan frowned, and Freni beside him pursed her lips tightly.
"Yes, the Golden Church." Scarlet Witch began to explain: "It is a group of believers who are active in the new sea area and even deeper sea areas and believe in the golden tree."
"Although they rarely walk in the world, their shadows are behind the countries on the continent."
"And they are the instigators of the alliance of various countries to hunt down witches."
The Scarlet Witch spoke in a low tone: "The Golden Church is very powerful, very powerful."
"The closer you are to the sea area of the Golden Tree, the more intense and active the spirituality is, and the easier it is to advance in your career. Do you know why the remaining gods from the Era of Gods only appear in the inland sea area? They are just afraid of the believers of the Golden Church. ”
Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help but said: "Aren't you afraid of the golden tree?"
"No." The Scarlet Witch shook her head: "The Golden Tree is the tree of the world. It has weaved the twelve paths in the world, but it has never taken action personally."
"The ones who really clear up the remaining gods are the believers of the Golden Church."
"These are not important. What is important is that, Mr. Lane, you killed the chief and the third black knight, and their deaths indicate that the current location of Witch Island must have been exposed."
"Next, I will take the initiative to start the migration of Witch Island to keep it away from the magnetic sea area."
"...Sorry." Ryan apologized.
He did not expect that the Golden Church could be involved behind the Black Knights, or the countries on the mainland.
"No need to apologize." Crimson Witch said, "Even if this incident hadn't happened, I would have been ready to move to Witch Island over a long distance."
"By the way, are you planning to go to Xinhai District later?"
Ryan did not speak, but turned his attention to Freni.
To him, it doesn't really matter where he goes.
"...Hmm." After hesitating for a moment, Freni nodded: "For some special reasons, I have to reach the Golden Tree."
"Is that so..." The Scarlet Witch did not ask Freni why she went there despite knowing the danger. After pondering for a moment, she said: "In this case, I will let the Witch Island float randomly in the magnetic sea area for the past two days, and then , I will teach you the knowledge of runes as soon as possible."
"...Thank you." Freni lowered her head slightly.
The Scarlet Witch sighed: "With Mr. Lane on my side, I feel relieved. But when we arrive at the Xinhai District later, you still have to pay more attention."
"The Xinhai District is no more dangerous than the Inland Sea District. In addition to the Golden Church, there are also many powerful forces hiding in the shadows. Demigods are not absent there."
"That's about it. Time is running out. Freni, let's go."
…
after a while.
Ryan returned to the Black Rose. He sat on the bow deck, silently meditating.
The Scarlet Witch's words made him feel a strong sense of crisis.
The joy of easily crushing the black knight disappeared immediately.
Golden Church...
Believers in the Golden Tree...
And spiritual beings come from the golden tree...
Ryan didn't know if there was any relationship between the three, but he who killed the spirit man might have been targeted by the golden tree.
According to the Scarlet Witch, the Golden Tree never takes action, but the Golden Church is by no means easy to mess with.
There are definitely demigods in the Golden Church, and even true gods above demigods are very likely to exist!
After a Taoist profession reaches the seventh level, they will be "assimilated" by the golden tree. But these believers who believe in the golden tree are probably eager to be assimilated themselves, right?
"call……"
Ryan took a deep breath: "Strength, strength, you still need stronger strength."
He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Just when Ryan thought he could meditate until night and start traveling directly.
At dusk, a beautiful figure came to the Black Rose.
Ryan was a little surprised when he saw the Crimson Witch brought.
"Didn't you teach Freni the runes?"
"The first phase of the tutorial is over, and Freni is digesting and absorbing it. I have to say that this child's talent in runes is very good, not inferior to mine." The scarlet witch smiled on her face and was in a very happy mood.
On the huge Witch Island, no witch could inherit the way of runes, which put her under great pressure.
After all, if you can't learn runes, you won't be able to defeat legends and rival demigods with your fourth-level ultimate body.
If something happens to her, there will be no hope for the witch in the world.
Now, Freni has an excellent talent in runes. In this way, even if something happens to her, there is still a fire of hope burning in the world.
"I came here this time because I have something I need to talk to you alone." The Scarlet Witch sat down on the deck, looked at the sea, and said softly:
"Mr. Lane, do you know Freni's identity?"
"..." Ryan was silent for a moment: "I have some guesses."
"But to me it doesn't matter who the captain is."
"I only know that she saved me from the storm and led me on the path of my career."
"Is this so..." The Scarlet Witch looked at Ryan deeply.
She has many questions.
It is clear that Ryan's personality is only at the fourth level, but why does he have power beyond legend.
A power similar to the Rune Way?
But she didn't ask anything. She just turned around and said, "I have seen this 'Lady of Victory' before."
"I met Miranla and Water Drop Princess Ariel on the sea before they went to explore the Sea of Ashes."
"It's just that I didn't know that what they were going to was the Sea of Ashes."
"Originally, I could have walked with them, but unfortunately, I had more important things to do at that time."
"If I had chosen to follow you at that time, I'm afraid everything would have been different..."
Ryan was silent.
He knew that the Scarlet Witch was talking about the sacrifice of the Fire Witch Milanla for her best friend, the Water Drop Princess Ariel.
"Ashes Sea, do you know where it is?" Ryan asked.
He was quite curious about the Ashes Sea.
The ritual of the Fire Witch Milanla to resurrect the Water Drop Princess Ariel was obtained from the ruins of the Ashes Sea.
The rune inheritance of the Scarlet Witch and the "Rune Armor" were also obtained from a certain ruin.
These ruins, which have been preserved for who knows how many years, seem to have all kinds of magical powers, all kinds of things that do not belong to the Golden Age or the God Age, but to an earlier era.
"Ashes Sea..." Scarlet Witch's tone was a bit complicated: "It is the same as the Magnetic Thunder Sea, both are 'seas' that separate the inner sea area and the new sea area, one is in the east and the other is in the west, but the dangers of the two are incomparable."
"As long as the legendary professional enters the Magnetic Thunder Sea, the danger is still not great, but if the legendary professional enters the Ash Sea... it is almost a life-and-death situation."
"Ashes Sea, that is a sea area without 'spirituality'."
"No spirituality?" Ryan said in surprise.
He had seen the spiritual river running through the world, and knew that everything in the world, whether it has life or not, is closely related to spirituality.
Without spirituality, does it mean that the Ash Sea is an area independent of the spiritual river?
"Yes, there is no spirituality." Scarlet Witch affirmed: "No one knows why it is like this there."
"It is said that the Ash Sea existed in the Age of Gods, or even earlier. It blocked a part of the inner sea area and the new sea area. As for how big it is, no one knows."
"In the Ash Sea, there are sea monsters living in it. Professionals who enter it cannot replenish their spirituality. Once the magic potions they carry are exhausted, they can only wait for death."
"In this case, most explorations of the Ash Sea only stay on the surface."
"And the ruins that Milanla and Princess Water Drop went to back then are also the outer sea area of the Ash Sea, just a little deeper."
"You said that professionals cannot replenish their spirituality, what about magic power?" Ryan captured the key point.
"Witches can replenish their magic power in the Ash Sea." Scarlet Witch confirmed Ryan's guess: "However, the magic power in the Ash Sea is very violent. If you absorb it rashly, it will accelerate the process of pollution. Therefore, generally speaking, witches are unwilling to enter the Ash Sea."
"In the next period of time, I plan to move Witch Island to the outer sea area of the Ash Sea."
"Witch Island is a treasure I brought with me from the ruins. The magic power accumulated in it is enough to sustain the needs of witches for more than ten years."
"After the Golden Church's attention shifts, I will move Witch Island back to the Magnetic Thunder Sea."
"So, if you want to go to a new sea area, it is best to start from the Magnetic Thunder Sea, which is safer."
"That's about it. Mr. Ryan, this is for you."
The Scarlet Witch stood up and threw a small red object to Ryan. Before Ryan could say anything, her body had turned into scattered scarlet light spots and dissipated into the air.
Ryan lowered his head and looked at the amulet-like thing in his palm, and the prompt on the panel also appeared in front of him at this moment.
——
[Scarlet Heart Amulet]: A powerful amulet woven from deep sea silk with 180,000 runes engraved as the main material, containing the blessing of the weaver. Wearing it on your body, it has magical power.
One: [Scarlet Transmission]: It can consume the rune power stored in it and have a super long-distance conversation with the weaver-Scarlet Witch. The farther the distance, the more rune power is consumed. Remaining rune energy: 100/100, automatically restored 10 points every day.
Two: [Scarlet Core]: Energy recovery speed increased by 100%
Three: [Scarlet Summon]: It can consume all rune energy and summon the energy phantom of the Scarlet Witch to fight together. The more rune energy used, the stronger the energy phantom. At least 60 rune energy is required to use it. (This ability is bound to the Scarlet Witch. The stronger the Scarlet Witch's body is, the stronger the energy phantom she summons will be)
ps: After hundreds of years of weaving, this amulet carries too many emotions of the weaver. The original purpose of the Scarlet Witch weaving this amulet was to give it to the person she loved, but the heavy pressure made her gradually abandon her personal feelings. Now, she gave it to a young man to express her "gratitude".
——
Looking at the amulet in his hand, Ryan felt complicated.
Although there is no grade, there is no doubt that this amulet is extremely powerful.
The [Scarlet Core] with effect 2 alone helped him a lot.
You know, blood, spirituality, etc. all belong to the category of energy.
The 100% increase means that the blood that he could only convert into 1 blood can now be converted into 2 blood!
After a moment of silence, Ryan put on the [Scarlet Heart Amulet], and then raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead.
After learning about the situation in the Sea of Ashes, he planned to talk to Shelia.
