After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 198 Taking office, the third-level profession of the pirate path——[Skeleton Captain]
The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle.

After leaving the magnetic sea area, the weather at sea suddenly became beautiful.

After the battle with the Kraken, there were no more surprises in Ryan's return journey.

That night.

Ryan was sitting alone on the bow deck of the ship, and any moist sea breeze lifted a few strands of short and medium hair around his ears.

He looked at the potion in his hand that was emitting a bright blue light in the night. He checked it once and made sure there was nothing wrong with it before drinking it down in one gulp.

This is the third-level magic potion of the pirate path.

The original goal of Ryan and his team going to Azure Island was to participate in the Azure Swordsmanship Competition and obtain the Azure Fruit, the main ingredient of the third-level potion of the Pirate Path. However, God's calculations failed.

The process of Tianqingdao and his party was tortuous. Although Ryan's strength had improved a lot, he failed to obtain the Azure Fruit. Instead, he obtained the main ingredient from Durande that could be used as the fourth-level potion of the Pirate Path—— The essence of azure.

It's not impossible to use Azure Essence to prepare the main ingredients of the pirate path's third-level potions, but it's just a bit too wasteful.

It can almost be said that as soon as Ryan placed the order, Durrand immediately found a potion blender to prepare it.

2. [Skeleton Dead Body]:
One of the exclusive skills of the Skeleton Captain profession.

Holding the [Skeleton Dead Gun] in his hand, Ryan's vision changed, and things in the distance quickly zoomed in and became clear.

With the fall of Leader Tianqing, no one on Tianqing Island is a match for Durland. Under such circumstances, most of Leader Tianqing's collection naturally fell into the hands of Durand, including the Azure Fruit. Not surprising.

-

Drink the wine mixed with your own blood to obtain the "Bloody Rum" state, which lasts for X seconds.
During the duration of "Bloody Rum", the Skeleton Captain's pain is greatly reduced, and [Strength] receives a burst decay bonus (the initial bonus is X%, and then decreases by 10% every second until (X/5)%)

It is the "remote aiming" state.

This "Pirate Path" third-level profession [Skeleton Captain] is much stronger than he imagined.

The three professional skills are not very good, but they are not bad either.

Overall, both have their own pros and cons.

[[Storm Fighter (Level 2)] is promoted to [Skeleton Captain (Level 3)]! 】

[Acquire professional skills: Bloody Rum, Skeleton Dead Body, Remote Specialization Enhancement]

-

Moreover, while Freni was unconscious, no one prepared the potion for him even if he was willing to waste it.

Death and storm, sea and corpses have become symbols of the glory of Captain Skeleton. Passive effect: Every time the skeleton captain defeats a strong enemy of the same level on the sea, [Spiritual] and [Physical] +0.5, up to 4.0, and the current bonus value is 0. Active effect: Activate [Skeleton Dead Gun] and enter the remote aiming state. The energy of the Skeleton Dead Gun can only be condensed into one "Dead Water Bullet", which has a penetrating effect and causes an additional X% of water and wind combined damage. It also has a "stagnant water erosion" effect, which greatly reduces the body defense of the person hit.

[Spirituality]: 110.4→111.4
【Physique】：156.06→156.66
-

The third professional skill of [Captain Skeleton], [Remote Specialization Enhancement], makes up for part of the aiming hit problem.

As he swallowed the third-level potion, a series of prompts on the panel jumped out in front of his eyes.

[Take the [Pirate Path] third-level magic potion...]

After much thought, Ryan found Durrand through the "Overthrown Palace" and entrusted him to help get a bottle of pirate pathway third-level potion.

Especially the second skill [Skeleton Dead Body] is quite interesting.

(The value of

Another point is that [Skeleton Dead Gun] is a long-range attack, and "Dead Water Bullet" is also an energy bullet condensed from the attributes of wind and water, which can trigger [Mystery of Dark Light].

（X的数值取决于使用者的位阶和灵性，具体换算公式为位阶*10+灵性*1，当前X的数值为3*10+113*1=143.1）。

It's just that Tianqing Island is very big, and it will take quite a while for Durand to search it thoroughly.

The commission was sent out in the afternoon, and the potion was received by Ryan in the evening.

This state is somewhat similar to the aiming of "Spear of Blood", but the difference is that [Skeleton Spear] can enter the aiming state at a specific moment, while "Spear of Blood" takes a while , or consume full health to immediately enter the aiming state.

1. [Bloody Rum]:
One of the exclusive skills of the Skeleton Captain profession.

A large number of prompts appeared in front of his eyes. Ryan looked at them one by one, with a little surprise in his eyes.

The passive effect is to increase attributes by killing strong enemies of the same level. The upper limit is lower, but it is better than nothing. Its characteristic is its active effect - [Skeleton Dead Gun].

Wine and blood have created the romance of pirates. Years of sailing at sea have gradually given Captain Skeleton the skills to gain temporary power from blood and wine.

[Professional bonus: spirituality +4.0, physical strength +2.0 (body spirituality +0.8, physical strength +0.4)]

Of course, once the "Spear of Blood" is aimed, it will directly lock on the target. This is incomparable with the [Skeleton Spear]. When the latter enters the aiming state, you still need to aim at the target and shoot. Whether it can hit it depends on own technology.

When shooting from a distance, you gain a fixed 20% bonus to shooting speed and accuracy.

——[Mystery of Dark Light lv.1 (max)]: When attacking with long-range energy, the consumption is reduced by 50%, and there is a very small chance that there will be no consumption.

[Conditional judgment is in progress... [Storm Fighter] compatibility reaches 100%... [Spirituality] ≥ 5.0, [Physique] ≥ 5.0... The judgment is passed! 】

3. [Remote Specialization Enhancement]:
One of the common skills for remote professions.

To this, Durand readily agreed, and his speed was beyond Ryan's expectations.

Ryan had no desire to care about this.

With a thought in Ryan's mind, a 1.2 meter long musket made of white bones appeared in his hand.

-

This means that [Skeleton Dead Body Spear], which can only condense one "Dead Water Bullet", will be able to shoot two "Dead Water Bullets" if it triggers "The Mystery of Dark Light". If you are lucky, it will trigger " "No consumption", but it's hard to say how many "stagnant bullets" it can shoot.

In this way, the "Dead Water Bullet" and the "Blood Spear" cooperate with each other to superimpose the "Gospel Mark" faster, thereby giving the enemy a fatal kill.

There is another point that Ryan finds very interesting.

The first-level [Pirate] and the second-level [Storm Fighter] of the "Pirate Path" are both based on melee capabilities, but the third-level [Skeleton Captain] begins to combine both distance and distance.

From this point of view, as the ranks are promoted, the professions along the way should complement each other's strengths and weaknesses to a certain extent.

"call……"

After exhaling lightly and testing [Captain Skeleton]'s ability, Ryan closed his eyes and meditated while waiting for the arrival of 0 o'clock.

As Storm Swordsmanship has been promoted to the master level, whether it is daily practice or meditation, the improvement brought about is minimal.

Therefore, Ryan began to turn his attention to Azure Swordsmanship.

Tianqing Swordsmanship is currently only at the master level, and if you continue to move up, there will be a grandmaster level.

Although there is a big difference between the swordsmanship of the big sword and the swordsmanship of the long sword, with the foundation of the master-level swordsmanship, his Azure swordsmanship will not be slow to improve.

Time flew by during Ryan's meditation.

Not long after, the hour hand of the clock hanging on the bulwark pointed to 0 o'clock.

Ryan lay down on the bed.

"Travel, start!"

……

In the Brass Branch Temple, in a forest more than ten kilometers away, Quinn was hiding with Anya and Horsted in embarrassment.

Yesterday, the Purple Wind Knight came to the Brass Branch Temple to kill them. They were so majestic, but in the end, they were killed by the cross-border attack of Saint Aeochilis, leaving not even the flesh foam behind.

This made Quinn once again shocked by the power of the demigod, but also felt sorry for the Purple Wind Knight.

Who would have thought that a Brass Branch Temple would have a "medium" that could allow Saint Iochilis to attack across borders?

The world is so ruined that there are really not many good people like the Purple Wind Knight left.

Although the contact time was short, Quinn could feel the "justice" in the Purple Wind Knight's heart.

But in this world where even the gods no longer pay attention, "justice" is the least valuable thing and the most useless thing that can easily lead to death.

And the Yellow Sect has fallen into this situation because of its insistence on meaningless "justice" in the eyes of the world...

"Ugh……"

With a sigh in his heart, Quinn, Anya and Horsted carefully walked through the shadows under the trees.

After the Purple Wind Knight destroyed the Brass Branch Temple, it aroused the wrath of the Brass Holy Church. Although the Saint Iochilis only took action to kill the Purple Wind Knight and was unable to take action again, before leaving, he still He discovered the whereabouts of himself and others, and dispatched the Brass Discipline Knights drawn from other Brass branch temples to encircle and suppress them.

In this case, Quinn's escape became extremely difficult.

Like, now.

"call out--"

A violent sound of breaking through the air came from far away. Quinn's expression changed. He dragged one by one with one hand, took Anya and Horsed to retreat violently. The next second he retreated, there was a "boom" sound. There was an explosion, and a large sword made of brass fell to the ground, creating a large crater with a radius of several meters.

Smoke and shock waves came towards him and were blocked by a faint energy shield. Before Quinn could relax, there was another subtle sound behind him.

At the critical moment, Quinn tried his best to tilt his head, but there was still a bloodshot cut on the side of his neck.

"damn it."

From the corner of his eye, he saw the color of brass flashing through the shade of trees in the distance behind him. Quinn knew that it was the rare Brass Knight who used long-range weapons.

One in front and one behind, one in melee and one in long range, attacking from both sides.

Big crisis!
Sweat dripped from Quinn's forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He loosened his grip on Anya and Horsted, and whispered without looking back: "Lie down on the ground and use the secret treasure to get away from this place quickly. If you have a chance, Run away immediately."

In front of the knight, the warrior is too weak. The two of them here will not only be unable to help him, but will also act as a drag.

Hearing this, Anya and Horsted pressed down without any hesitation. At the same time, the ring on Anya's finger emitted a faint light, enveloping the two of them, causing their bodies and breaths to be directly wiped away.

Seeing this scene, Quinn breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the flanking attack of two knights, it was still a combination of one melee and one long-range. Even he was not sure of winning.

The solution for now is to delay.

Drag him until Anya and Horsted run far enough. At that time, he will look for opportunities to see if he can get away. If he really can't get away, he will try to pull someone on his back before he dies. In this way, he can also help Miss Anya buys a little more time to escape...

The thoughts in his mind ended here. Quinn took a deep breath, and the dark energy in his body exploded, preparing to rush towards the long-range brass knight behind him.

It’s common sense to kill ranged enemies first in battle.

However, before Quinn could start sprinting, a large black-purple mist appeared in the air, and under the influence of this mist, Anya and Horsted, who had been erased, reappeared.

There was a look of astonishment in the eyes of the two of them. This was the first time they encountered the secret treasure after its effect was broken.

Quinn's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes locked on the petite figure walking out from behind the brass knight with the big sword not far away.

She wore a robe made of brass filaments and held a brass candle lamp in her hands, and the purple-black mist spread from the brass candle lamp. "The Brass Priest..."

There was a hint of bitterness in Quinn's solemn voice.

Compared to the Brass Sword Knight, the Brass Priest is so delicate, but among the three attacking people, she is the most threatening.

Brass Priests are a very special profession. As people who serve the Saint Iochilis all year round, they have mastered strange and unpredictable magic. They can not only assist in healing teammates, but also inflict various negative conditions on enemies. , and the seemingly delicate body is actually waving a brass lamp at close range, which cannot be underestimated. The threat level is even greater than that of the knight at the same level.

With only two Brass Knights, one melee and one long-range, Quinn still had the possibility of escaping, but if there was one more Brass Priest, his chances of survival would be close to zero.

Not only him, but also Anya and Horsted had no chance of escaping.

The despair in his heart only lasted a moment. As a knight who had experienced many battles, Quinn quickly adjusted his condition and made a decision.

He grabbed Anya's wrist with one hand, and the dark light spread to the girl's body. He stepped and exerted force, and violently threw Anya into the sky, heading into the distance.

The dim light broke through the blockade of the black-purple mist, and the long-range brass knight in the distance shot a brass crossbow in an attempt to knock Anya down, but it was blocked by the shield propped up by the girl, and instead helped her fly away. A little faster.

Seeing Anya flying into the distance, Quinn was slightly relieved. His decisiveness made the three of them in a certain death situation, and one of them had the possibility of escaping.

As the purple-black mist intensified and the Brass Knight's alertness deepened, it was no longer possible to escape in this way.

"Hosted, today, we two may have to die fighting here. I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to save you two."

"What are you talking about, Lord Quinn." Horsted laughed and pulled out the long sword from his waist. There was no timidity in his eyes: "I am honored to fight alongside you."

"...Okay." Quinn took a deep breath, looked at the knight with the brass sword who was walking toward him, rushed out, and disappeared from the spot.

"clang--"

The sword collided with the dagger, and Quinn was forced to retreat several meters.

Under the influence of the purple-black mist, his invisibility ability was unable to be used, and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. As an assassin, in a head-on confrontation, his strength was definitely no match for the Knight of the Brass Sword.

"Crack!"

The brass sword fell, cutting Quinn's slightly stiff body into two halves.

However, the broken body turned into a black shadow, and Quinn himself came behind the brass long-range knight who quietly approached not far from the battlefield.

A stern look flashed in his eyes, and the dagger filled with dim light was inserted directly into the back of the brass long-range knight's head.

When the blow hit, he pulled away without hesitation to avoid being injured by the death blow that exploded from the body of the Brass Remote Knight.

When the smoke and dust subsided, the sight that came into view made Quinn's heart freeze.

The fatal wound on the back of the head of the brass long-range knight who was supposed to be dead was rapidly healing under the nourishment of a purple-black energy, and the brass sword knight who had been tricked by his shadow clone had captured Horsted.

"The Brass Priest!"

Quinn was filled with hatred, but her heart was filled with a deep sense of helplessness.

He knew that he was doomed.

The strongest explosion failed to kill one of them instantly, and the only thing waiting for him next was death...

"I'm sorry, Lord Luka, I have failed to live up to your request and cannot continue to protect Miss Anya."

The black-purple mist filled the whole place and was unavoidable. Quinn felt that the energy and physical strength in his body were continuing to drop. Not far away, the brass long-range knight who had recovered from his energy also exploded with a brass crossbow in his hand. Several crossbow arrows were fired, each one causing a sonic boom.

Quinn closed his eyes weakly, knowing that he would definitely die.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The severe pain and the falling feeling of death that he imagined did not come. Quinn opened his eyes with some doubts, and a familiar but unfamiliar back was reflected in his pupils.

The ferocious and mighty armor, glowing with light red in the pitch black, reflected a faint halo under the dim light, like a hunter walking the world at night, silent and deadly.

Ryan tilted his head slightly, glanced at the stunned Quinn, and chuckled: "Why, we haven't seen each other for just a day, and we don't know each other anymore?"

"Lord Zifeng!" Quinn's eyes widened suddenly, his tone full of disbelief.

He saw with his own eyes that Zifeng exploded into blood mist under the arrow of Saint Iochilis, but now, the other party appeared completely in front of him. Not only that, the soul breath on his body seemed to A little more powerful, how incredible is this? !
The so-called immortality is only relative. In the face of the "King of Salary" level power of Saint Iocillis, immortality in the general sense is just a joke.

Those who can survive under the power of "Salary King" must have trump cards that ordinary people can't imagine.

Ryan's arrival not only shocked Quinn, but also the expressions of the three members of the Brass Church changed drastically.

They didn't see Ryan, and they didn't know that he was the person who was killed by the saint himself, but the trembling feeling from his body to his soul reminded them deeply that the ferocious armored man in front of him was carrying a big sword on his back. Youth is definitely not something they can fight against.

Paladin level?

Or, the brave level?

They don't know, but no matter which one it is, it is an absolutely powerful force that they cannot resist.

The knight with the brass sword subconsciously wanted to tighten his hold on Horsted's neck as a threat.

In the face of such a strong man, escaping is already a luxury, and the strength gap between large levels is like a natural chasm.

Right now, the only chance for the three of them to survive is the hostage in their hands.

But this fastening caused doubts to flash in the eyes of the knight with the brass sword.

He had obviously exerted all his strength, but found that his right hand was not under his control.

He turned his eyes, and was shocked to see that the ferocious armored young man, who was a hundred meters away just now, was standing next to him, and his right arm holding the back of Horsted's neck was separated from his body.

This cut was so fast that the Brass Sword Knight's body didn't even realize that his right arm had been cut off.

The next moment, as a fist rapidly enlarged in front of his eyes, the world of the Brass Sword Knight was completely plunged into darkness.

Seeing that the Brass Sword Knight died on the spot without even being able to resist, the Brass Long Range Knight and the Brass Priest were so frightened that they ran away immediately.

Their consciousness has been filled with fear, and they cannot think about whether they can escape in front of such a strong person.

As two sword energy flew out, the bodies of the brass long-range knight and brass priest who were escaping exploded into slag.

Putting the three [Knight Souls] into his palm, Ryan looked at Horsted, who had dull eyes: "It's okay. By the way, there is another person. Where is the warrior named 'Anya'?"

Ryan's voice made Horsted come back to his senses, his body trembled, and he bowed deeply to Ryan with awe and admiration. At the same time, he said: "Miss Anya was thrown away by Mr. Quinn. She should be in that direction now." ”

Ryan nodded slightly and disappeared. Before Horsted could react, he reappeared, holding Anya with a confused expression in his hand.

"me you him……"

It took a long time for Anya to regain her composure after being put down.

First, she was suddenly thrown away by Quinn. Not long after she landed, the scenery in front of her changed. Then, she returned to the battlefield.

The difference is that the three terrible enemies of the Brass Church are no longer here, replaced by Lord Zifeng who died yesterday.

Ryan turned his attention to Quines who came forward, saluted respectfully, and said:

"A place like the Brass Branch Temple yesterday. Do you know anything similar? Take me there."

Ryan's words made Quinn stunned for a moment, and then he felt a storm in his heart.

Lord Zifeng meant to cause trouble with the Brass Church. However, as a meeting ceremony to go to the Yellow Sect's headquarters, the death of a Brass Bishop could not be more solemn...

The thoughts in his heart are one thing. The thoughts of a strong man like Lord Zifeng are beyond his ability to guess. What's more, attacking the Brass Church will be a good thing with no harm to the Yellow Church. So, Quinn said respectfully :
"Lord Zifeng, there is only one Brass Branch Temple in this large area. The other Brass Branch Temple is in a quite remote place. It will take at least five days to get there."

Seeing Lord Zifeng frowning slightly, Quinn's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Lord Zifeng, I dare to ask, do you just want to cause trouble with the Bronze Holy Cult, or do you want to find someone who is as powerful as Bronze? Bishop’s strong man or monster?”

"Oh..." Ryan took a deep look at Quinn, who had his head lowered and could not see his specific expression, and his heart was filled with waves.

Sure enough, the people who can survive in this world, even the relatively kind-hearted people from the Yellow Sect, are not fools.

Ryan nodded: "I have told you before that I am a traveler from other countries, eager to fight with strong men and sharpen myself."

"It is better to have a powerful enemy from the Brass Church, but if not, other inhuman things will do."

Hearing this, Quinn nodded silently, and then said: "That's it, I understand."

"Lord Zifeng, in this case, I also know the habitat of an extremely terrifying monster."

"The strength of that monster far exceeds that of a knight. A large number of knights have fallen in its hands. It is said that a powerful paladin once went there personally, but in the end he was unable to solve the monster. I think it should meet your goals. "

"It's just that that thing is too dangerous, so I don't recommend you go there."

Ryan waved his hand casually: "It doesn't matter, you can just lead the way."

"Let's go now."

"Also, if you have any other enemies of the Yellow Sect, just tell me. I will deal with them first if I can."

"Just think of it as a reward for letting you lead the way."

"...I understand." Quinn nodded vigorously. Master Zifeng's frank words made him feel a little guilty, and then he cheered up: "Please follow me."

"The monster's habitat is not far from here. It only takes half a day's walk to reach it."

"Half a day..." Ryan thought for a while and felt that it was still too long. He could carry Quinn and go. The problem is that there are Anya and Horsted, so we can't stack the three of them together, right?

"You guys wait here for me."

After leaving these words, Ryan disappeared from the spot.

When he returned a few minutes later, he was carrying a brass carriage.

"boom!"

The heavy brass carriage fell to the ground, making a low vibration. The two horses fell to pieces, but they recovered quickly.

"I have ridden in a brass carriage. It was very fast and very smooth. Can you drive a carriage?"

Quinn swallowed and nodded: "Yes."

The brass carriage plus two war horses modified for special speed and endurance weigh at least several tons, but such a thing, in the hands of Master Zifeng, is as light as a plaything...

"If we have a brass carriage, we should be able to reach our destination in two hours." Quinn whispered.

"Well, I'll trouble you to lead the way." Ryan nodded and sat in the brass carriage.

Quinn, Anya, and Horsted looked at each other outside, and finally decided to sit outside the carriage together.

Although Lord Zifeng was very kind to them, they still didn't have the guts to be in the same room with such a powerful person.

"Gululu..."

Under Ryan's shock, the brass war horse ran obediently and headed into the distance.
