Chapter 110 Exploring the Royal Court, the storm is coming!
“Lord God’s Envoy!”
Not long after, Hela swam up to Xia En with a look of joy on her face and said excitedly.
"I knew you would definitely come back."
Xia En was also somewhat impressed by this little girl from the sea tribe, and smiled: "This time, I will stay in the Coral City for many more years. Stay for a while.”
At this moment, the nearby sea tribesmen gathered scatteredly.
They all looked at Xia En with a hint of awe.
Perhaps it is the reason why the [Mysterious] attribute has been improved again, but the image of Xia En in their eyes has a more inexplicable temperament than before.
After a few simple reminiscences, Xia En swam towards the college where the queen was, led by the sea clan.
Soon, Xia En met the petite Queen of the Sea Tribe, Lutitia again.
However, compared to the last time they met, Luticia seemed to be shorter than last time.
The delicate brows and eyes look sleepy, as if they haven’t woken up yet.
"Your Majesty the Envoy of God..."
Luticia rubbed her cheeks with her fleshy hands and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for letting you see this indecent appearance. "
Xia En asked calmly: "Is it... a side effect of [Lingzhi]?"
Hearing this, Luticia was stunned for a moment, and then said with emotion: "As expected of Your Majesty the Divine Envoy, you have even heard of this legendary secret treasure."
"Tell me, please, What happened that year? "
Xia En has always been somewhat curious about the researcher who left [Ember Sanctuary].
Now that we are talking about this topic, we might as well ask a little more.
Luticia looked reminiscing and said at the same time: "Actually, there was nothing special about that day."
"I was already very old, and I was taking a nap here, just like before."
"Then, a man wearing a special diving suit came to me."
>"I said I am willing to use [Eternal Lingzhi] in exchange for the wealth accumulated by my family."
Luticia smiled: "After all, I am also a common person, how can I resist the temptation of immortality, naturally with him A deal was reached."
A flash of thought flashed in Xia En's eyes: "Does he have any special characteristics, or did he say his name?"
"What's the characteristic..."
Luticia recalled: "He seemed to be wearing a special pair of monocles under his diving suit."
"When I asked him How to call him, he said, just call him...[Undertaker]"
"Monocle...[Undertaker]..."
Xia En silently wrote it down. With these two characteristics, I immediately planned to speed through the palace dungeon.
Brushing dungeons is like playing a game. After a while, I feel itchy if I don’t flush.
At this time, Luticia reminded: "Your Excellency, the Messenger of God, there is something I want to remind you."
"During this period, the [Polluters" in the city They seemed a little restless, and some of the stronger [Polluters] also woke up from their slumber."
"Please be careful!"
Hearing this, Xia En. Eyes slightly bright.
Is there such a good thing?
As the level of the ship spirit increases, the experience points given by killing low-level monsters are getting less and less.
At this time, the difficulty of the entire [Coral City] copy has increased, which actually makes up for this.
Xia En went straight to the palace without much hesitation.
Looking at his leaving figure, several elders walked out of the darkness of the hall with strong surprise in their voices.
"It's been more than a month since I last saw him, and his aura has almost doubled?"
"This speed of improvement..."
"And, his secret profession ...What exactly is it? It seems different from any profession I know.”
As second- and third-level mystics, these elders naturally have extraordinary vision.
Because of this, they were even more surprised by it.
In fact, before this, the elders still had a lot of doubts about Xia En's ability to help them regain the palace in the Coral City.
But now, most of the doubts in their hearts were cleared away instantly.
“If it were him, maybe it could really be done...”
……
……
at the same time.
Xia En has arrived at the gate of the palace.
Looking at the familiar coral patches and ancient red brick walls, a smile appeared on his lips.
“I wonder how far I can go in the palace this time?”
As the dark figure swam into the gate, ugly coral monsters appeared in the shadows all around. wake.
The colorful corals on their bodies are constantly twisting and squirming, looking at this uninvited guest with malicious eyes.
In just three or four breaths, they surged up like a tide.
"The long-awaited return gift package?"
"Then I will accept it without mercy!"
Xia En pulled out the blood demon sword that kept wailing. , chopped it down with one sword without ceremony!
laugh!
The bloody sword light swept across like a crescent moon.
Every coral monster that came into contact with it, without exception, was split into two by the huge force wrapped around it, and quickly turned into a pile of corpses!
【Ship Soul Experience +0.5%! 】
【Ship Soul Experience +0.3%! 】
[…]
“This little experience is not enough to fill the gap between teeth.”
Xia En secretly shook his head.
Previously, he seemed to be having a hard time moving around the area outside the palace.
But now, after completing the transformation of the [Black Swan] and being promoted to the second level Mystic, it is difficult for the surrounding mobs to pose much of a threat to him.
Although there are many enemies, I will kill them all with one sword!
Xia En's footsteps did not stay here too long, and soon came to a wide square in the palace.
And just walked into the square.
Click...click...
The sound of metal armor colliding reached Xia En's ears.
He looked forward intently and saw several tall knights standing under the statues of many griffins.
There are twelve knights in total, and their armors are all decorated with golden griffons.
Even after being soaked in seawater for so many years, there is still no trace of rust.
"Griffin Knights..."
Xia En's expression was slightly solemn.
In fact, his previous exploration of the royal palace copy stopped at the square in front of the main hall.
The reason is naturally the obstruction of these knights.
But before, there seemed to be only four or five knights awakening here, but now...
"Whoever is coming, stop!"
Twelve knights stood up one after another. , surrounded Xia En, and the glory of the old era was revealed in the hoarse words.
"The only way to enter the royal court is to step over our corpses!"
Obviously, like the previous servants of the prince, they all retain a certain degree of sanity.
And the strength of each griffon knight must be higher than that of the prince's attendants!
When they were alive, they were at least second-level or third-level mystics, or even higher!
Seeing this, a fighting spirit emerged in Xia En's eyes.
Although the battle with Quinn and Blood Scythe in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] was hearty, it was after all thanks to the power of Carles.
He would like to see where his true combat power limit is after being promoted to the second level?
Now, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!
The next moment.
Xia En's figure suddenly accelerated and turned into a meteor, coming directly in front of a griffin knight.
The bloody sword fell down on his head!
Dang——
Facing the menacing Xia En, the griffin knight raised the buckler beside him.
The sound of the collision of gold and stone rippled along with the water waves.
Such a powerful and heavy sword only made him take a few steps back.
"Formation!"
The griffin knight shouted, and the other knights immediately stepped forward, and an indescribable invisible bond was built between them.
The auras of the knights seemed to be integrated, affecting the whole body. The knight in front used his shield to attack Xia En, while the knight behind him took the opportunity to draw his sword. The sword's blade was aimed at the vital parts of the human body.
Xia En's pressure suddenly increased, and several sword lights even pierced his body surface.
"Is there a secret technique for joint attack?"
Xia En pointed his toes and jumped to a high place with the help of recoil, with a smile on his lips.
“I also have exciting combos!”
“Xiao Hei!”
[Master! 】
The resonance in his soul was completed in an instant. Xia En, who was double-blessed by the power of the ship's soul, immediately burst out with a speed that was far superior to just now, and stabbed a knight in the throat with a sword.
Chi!
The sword flashed and the knight's head fell to the ground.
From the closed helmet, a head that had mostly turned into coral fell out.
The death of their companions made the remaining griffin knights express emotions similar to grief and anger.
But their movements didn't stop at all, and they continued to roar and attack Xia En.
"For the glory of the Griffin Knights!"
However, in front of Xia En, who started the "second phase" in advance, their speed and strength fell into a comprehensive disadvantage. .
In just a moment, Xia En found an opportunity and slashed open the armor of a griffin knight again with one sword.
The power of their combined fencing array obviously weakened as the number of people decreased.
The balance of victory has naturally shifted.
It didn’t take long.
With a deep sigh, the last griffin knight fell to the ground.
He looked towards the depths of the royal court and muttered to himself.
“O king, please bear witness for me...”
Immediately, there was no more sound.
“He is also a loyal knight.”
Xia En’s expression was a little strange, and he complained in his heart: “Why do you make it seem like I am the villain?”
But he also knew that sending these knights on their way was essentially giving them relief, and there was no sense of guilt.
The power of the ship soul on the panel (53/100) also shows that this group of knights is difficult to deal with.
You know, this was even when Xia En used the "second stage", but it still consumed a huge amount of energy.
If it were Xia En from a month ago, he would not even be able to defeat the first Griffin Knight.
After defeating the monsters, it is naturally a relaxing and enjoyable time to lick the bag.
[Ship Soul Level: LV3 (8%)! 】
In addition to the increase in experience points, Shane also found an ancient parchment scroll from the griffin knights.
[Griffin Ancient Book]
[Quality: Rare]
[Type: Props]
[Description: An ancient book that records the history and combat skills of the Griffin Knights. 】
【Five or more sword-wielding knights can form a sword formation according to ancient books. 】
[Swordsmen in the sword formation can slightly increase their strength, mental resistance, defense, and morale. 】
【The glory of the gryphon is engraved in my heart! 】
A trophy that is better than nothing.
Xia En glanced at the description twice and quickly came to a conclusion.
For some pirate ships with a large number of people, this kind of sword formation may play a significant role in enhancing the combat power of the miscellaneous fish pirates.
But for the [Black Swan], this sword formation seems a bit useless.
With just these few crew members, they can’t even get enough of them.
However, some loot is better than nothing.
Even if it doesn’t work, you can still sell it.
Xia En put away the ancient books, walked through the square with the griffin statue, and came to a tall and magnificent palace.
This should be what the gryphon knights call the "Royal Court."
It is also the core area of the entire palace.
The color tone of this palace is also different from other surrounding buildings.
The colors of silver and gray are like crystal, diamond or silver.
Even if it is covered with colorful and ugly corals, you can still get a glimpse of its past glory.
But correspondingly.
Xia En also sensed an extremely strong sense of crisis from this royal court.
It seemed that there were countless powerful beings hiding in the royal court, waiting for his arrival.
“This should be the most difficult area of the palace dungeon.”
“In other words, as long as you can sweep this area, you will not be far from completing the level!”
Xia En thought to himself, and set up a [Submarine Anchor Point] in front of the royal court gate.
When in doubt, save first!
He had no intention of letting the [Black Swan] stay on the sea surface of Coral City for too long.
After setting up the [Submarine Anchor Point], you can explore further into the sea while conquering the palace dungeon.
“The first exploration of the royal court has officially begun!”
Xia En muttered to himself as he strode into the palace.
At the same time, a silver-gray, crystal-like coral monster was casting an icy gaze from a high place...
...
...
【Submarine is over! 】
"Hiss..."
Xia En chewed his teeth and felt his head buzzing.
Even though he had some expectations for the difficulty of the Royal Court copy, it was obvious that his expectations were not enough!
The coral monster there has a strange silver-gray color, and the hardness of its body is comparable to fine steel. Whether it is speed or intelligence level, it is far from what the coral monsters in the outside world can compare with.
However, it is inevitable for your first adventure to fail.
Xia En quickly calmed down, took out the chart, and confirmed the heading and route.
“The next target, [Rust Wasted City]!”
“Xiao Hei, set sail!”
……
……
Shane thought this voyage would be the same as before.
But on the third day of marching to [Rusty Waste City], [Black Swan] encountered an accident.
This is an extremely terrible storm.
The sky was gloomy and low, thick and substantial clouds covered the sky over the sea, and turbulent winds blew in waves.
The undulating sea surface caused the entire ship to sway violently.
[Master, it’s such a big storm...]
Xiao Hei’s slightly uneasy voice sounded in Xia En’s heart.
“Something is wrong.”
Xia En’s expression was slightly solemn.
He could feel that there seemed to be some special secret power surging at the junction of the sky and the sea.
It was this surging secret power that set off a violent storm.
In terms of the strength of the wind and waves alone, the current sea level even exceeds the situation in the promotion ritual.
Xia En has encountered several storms in the past, but with the performance of the Black Swan, he survived them all without any danger.
But now, this is the first time he has encountered such a big storm.
Suddenly, Xia En suddenly woke up.
"Wait a minute, isn't this the effect of [Blessed by the Deep Sea]?"
"What kind of blessing from the sea is this!"
