Chapter 110 Exploring the Royal Court, the storm is coming! “Your Majesty the Envoy of God!” Not long after, Hela swam up to Xia En with a happy face and said excitedly. “I knew you would come back.” Xia En also had some impressions of this little girl from the sea tribe, and smiled and said, "This time, I will stay in the Coral City for a while longer." At this moment, the nearby sea tribesmen gathered scatteredly. They all looked at Xia En with a hint of awe. Perhaps it’s because 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, led by the sea tribe, swam towards the college where the queen was. Soon, Xia En met the petite Queen of the Sea Tribe, Luticia again.
It's just that compared to the last time we met, Luticia seemed to be shorter than last time. As second- and third-level mystics, these elders naturally have extraordinary vision. Is there such a good thing? At this time, the difficulty of the entire [Coral City] copy has increased, which actually makes up for this. As the level of the ship spirit increases, the experience points given by killing low-level monsters are getting less and less. “Characteristics…” … But now, most of the doubts in their hearts were cleared away in an instant. Looking at his leaving figure, several elders walked out of the darkness of the hall with strong surprise in their voices. “The speed of this improvement…” “When I asked what I should call him, he said, just call him... [Undertaker].” “If it were him, maybe he could...” “I said I am willing to use [Eternal Lingzhi] in exchange for the wealth accumulated by my family.” “Monocle…[Undertaker]…” Xia En didn’t hesitate and went straight to the palace. A flash of thought flashed in Xia En's eyes: "Does he have any special characteristics, or has he said his name?" Luticia smiled: "After all, I am also a commoner. How can I resist the temptation of immortality, so I naturally reached a deal with him." “It’s been just over a month since I last saw him, and his aura has almost doubled?” 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.
Because of this, they were even more surprised by it. “During this period, the [polluters] in the city seem to be a little restless, and some of the stronger [polluters] have also woken up from their slumber.” “I am already very old, and I am taking a nap here, just like before.” at the same time. “Can you tell me what happened that year?” “Your Majesty the Messenger of God…” Hearing this, Xia En’s eyes lit up slightly. Luticia recalled: "He seemed to be wearing a special pair of monocles under his diving suit." “Please be careful!” The delicate brows and eyes looked sleepy, as if they had not yet woken up. At this time, Luticia reminded you: "Your Excellency, the envoy of God, there is something I want to remind you." 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 such a legendary secret treasure." … "And, what is his secret profession... exactly? It seems to be different from any profession I know." Luticia rubbed her cheeks with her fleshy hands and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for letting you see this inappropriate appearance." Xia En has arrived at the gate of the palace. Xia En asked calmly: "Is it... a side effect of [Eternal Lingzhi]?" Chasing dungeons is like playing a game. If you don’t refresh for a while, you will feel itchy in your heart. Since we are talking about this topic now, we might as well ask a little more about it. “Then, a man wearing a special diving suit came to me.” Xia En silently noted these two characteristics, and immediately planned to speed through the palace dungeon. Xia En has always been somewhat curious about the researcher who left the [Ember Sanctuary]. Luticia looked reminiscing and said, "Actually, there was nothing special about that day." 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 door, ugly coral monsters suddenly woke up in the surrounding shadows. 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’ll accept it without any courtesy!” Xia En pulled out the blood demon sword that was constantly wailing, and slashed it down without ceremony! simultaneously! The **** 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 +! 】 【Ship Soul Experience +! 】 【…】 “This little experience is not enough to fill your 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 these peripheral 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. Just walked into the square. Click… click… The sound of metal armor clashing reached Xia En's ears. He looked forward intently, and there were several tall knights standing under the statues of many griffons. There are twelve knights in total, and their armors are all decorated with golden griffons. Even after being soaked in sea water for so many years, there is still no trace of rust. “The Order of the Gryphon…” Xia En’s expression was a little solemn. In fact, his previous exploration of the replica of the royal palace 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 awakened knights here, but now... “Whoever comes, stop!” Twelve knights stood up one after another and surrounded Xia En. The glory of the old era was revealed in their hoarse words.
“The only way to enter the royal court is to step over our corpses!” Obviously, they, like the previous prince's chamberlains, retained a certain degree of sanity. The strength of each griffin knight must be higher than that of the prince's attendants! When they were alive, they were at least second-level or third-level secret path practitioners, or even higher! Seeing this, Xia En's eyes actually showed a fighting spirit. 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 wanted to see where his true combat power limit was after being promoted to the second level? At the moment, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! next moment. Xia En's figure suddenly accelerated and turned into a meteor, coming directly in front of a griffin knight. The **** sword fell down on his head! — Facing the menacing Xia En, the griffin knight raised the buckler on his side. The sound of the collision of gold and stone rippled along with the water waves. Such a powerful and heavy sword that only made him take a few steps back. “Formulate!” The gryphon 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 into one body, 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, aiming at the vital parts of the human body. Suddenly, Xia En's pressure increased sharply, and several sword lights even pierced his body surface. “Is it the secret technique of joint attack?” Xia En pointed his toes to the ground and used the recoil to jump to a high place, with a smile on his lips. “I also have exciting combos!” “Xiao Hei!” 【Owner! 】 The resonance in the soul was completed in an instant. Xia En, who had received the double blessing of the power of the ship soul, immediately burst out with a speed far superior to that of before, and stabbed a knight in the throat with a sword. simultaneously! 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 gryphon knights express emotions similar to grief and anger. But their movements did not stop at all, and they continued to roar towards Xia En and besiege him. “For the glory of the Griffin Knights!” However, in front of Xia En, who started the "second stage" 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 griffon knight again with one sword. The power of their combined fencing array obviously weakened as the number of people decreased. One is ebbing and the other is increasing, and 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...” Soon, there was no more sound. “He is also a loyal knight.” Xia En had a strange expression on his face and complained in his mind: "Why do you make it look like I'm the villain?" However, he also knew that sending these knights on the road 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 must know that this was even when Xia En used the "second stage", but it still consumed a huge amount of energy. If it were Xia En who was there a month ago, he would not even be able to conquer the first Griffin Knight. After defeating the monsters, it’s 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. 【Gryphon Ancient Book】 【Quality: Rare】 【Type: Props】 【Description: An ancient book recording the history and combat skills of the Griffin Knights. 】 【More than five 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! 】
Better than nothing loot. Shaan 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, we can’t even get enough of them. However, some loot is better than nothing. No matter how bad it is, 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 color of silver and gray is like crystal, diamond or silver. Even if it is covered with colorful and ugly corals, you can still get a glimpse of its former 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 we can sweep this area, we won’t be far from clearing 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 the file first! He had no intention of letting the [Black Swan] stay on the sea surface of the Coral City for too long. After setting up the [Submarine Anchor Point], you can explore further sea areas 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! 】
ifier Xia En chewed on the toothpaste 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 its body is as hard as fine steel. Whether it is speed or intelligence, it is far from what the coral monsters in the outside world can compare with. However, on your first adventure, failure is inevitable. Shaan quickly calmed down, took out the chart, and confirmed the heading and route. “The next target is [Rusted Waste City]!” “Xiao Hei, set sail!” … … Shane thought that this voyage would be as normal as before. But on the third day of marching to the [Rusty Waste City], the [Black Swan] encountered an accident. This is an extremely terrible storm. The sky was gloomy and low, thick and substantial clouds covered the sky in layers 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 mysterious power surging at the junction of the sky and the sea. It is this surging secret power that sets off a violent storm. In terms of the strength of the wind and waves alone, the current sea level even exceeds the situation during the promotion ritual. Sha En has encountered several storms before, 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 woke up. “Wait a minute, isn’t this the effect of [Deep Sea Favored One]?” “What kind of blessing from the sea is this!” (End of this chapter)
