Chapter 30 [The Secret Road] “Don’t panic first, tell me slowly, what happened?” Shaan was not infected by Joey's panic and asked calmly. Seeing Xia En, Joey seemed to have found a backbone, gradually calmed down and said. “Yes...it’s Mr. Knight!” “An? What’s wrong with him?” "I, I can't tell. In short, his state is very strange. You will know when you come over and take a look!" In fact, more mystics have gone far enough in this profession and were inspired by the [Mystic Sea], so they began to advance. "Mr. Knight has been maintaining this posture since just now, and he has no response even when called." Unexpectedly, An on his own ship was the first to enter the promotion ritual.
… Xia En quickly gave up this guess and continued to observe An's condition carefully. With the improvement of his physical fitness, Xia En's senses have actually become sharper. Turning it over, I saw lines of code-like words written on it. 【Thank you both for your protection! 】 Boom! With the sound of his bones cracking, An's body seemed to have grown a little taller, his breath became thicker, and there were vague mysterious changes taking place in him. Not far away, An, wearing armor, stood upright, like a statue made of fine steel, motionless. The so-called [Secret Sea] is a space full of secrets and spirituality, which does not exist in any corner of reality. Endless mysteries and knowledge are contained in it. An Gang moved his body a few times and found two people standing next to him. He couldn't help but froze on the spot. Although Xia En thought this was strange, when he thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable. After swearing allegiance to himself, he fulfilled the hidden requirements of the [Knight] Secret Path. With accumulated experience, he broke through to the first-level Secret Path in just a few days. Shaan suddenly remembered some information in his memory and asked Joey again. Shaan also has his own guess about this. At this time, An's promotion process just confirmed Xia En's conjecture. Xia En’s mouth twitched. Even through the armor, Xia En could notice that he was stronger than before! Fell asleep? “No, no, even An wouldn’t sleep standing on the deck, right?”
【Not long ago, I was writing down the commandments of knights silently, and at the same time recalling your heroic appearance in my heart. 】 Dan'an's way of silent writing is a bit too strange. At this time, An seemed to be in some kind of mysterious and mysterious state. “That’s true, but...” “Is this…the commandments of chivalry?” Some people say that the "Secret Sea" is the reflection of this boundless ocean in the starry sky, and is the residence of human souls after death. 【Master Captain, I have passed the promotion ritual and officially become a first-level "Knight"! 】 【I can be successfully promoted, perhaps thanks to you, sir. 】 The ritual contents of each secret path are different, but they have a common premise— He learned after asking Bisi. 【sure. 】 Joy let out a low exclamation. The rumors about the secret travelers have always been the hottest topic on Duke Island, so even she has heard some of the secrets. 【Then, I came to a completely unfamiliar island and fought with a giant beast. After defeating it, my consciousness returned. 】 But after all, he is not a true secret seeker, and there is no way to verify it. Joy thought for a while and said, "Mr. Knight seems to be writing something silently? And he looks very serious." His physical body is still here, but his soul seems to be wandering far away, to a mysterious realm beyond the real dimension. “What was An doing before this?” As Xia En spoke, he got close to An's armor and listened to the sounds inside. At the same time that this idea came to his mind, several lines of information flashed in front of Xia En's eyes. Hearing this, Shane immediately followed Joey to the deck without thinking. “But I heard people say that before promotion, you need to take expensive potions.” Somewhere, he had a strange feeling— Shaan patted Ann on the shoulder, feeling happy for him. How could someone like the original Mystics know which potion is suitable for them? As soon as he thought about it, he remembered the reason why the two of them were staying by his side, and he quickly picked up the cardboard and wrote. He had heard that traditional knights would recite the knight's precepts to keep their hearts firm. 【Vaguely, I heard a voice that seemed to be inviting me. 】
“I must fulfill my duties as a knight.” It is of course a good thing to make your own sailors stronger. In Xia En's opinion, no matter what auxiliary means it is, it is just to enhance the affinity with [Secret Sea], making it easier to enter the promotion state. “Is it possible that magic potions are not necessary for promotion?” An has adhered to the spirit of chivalry for so many years, but has never been able to be promoted. It is most likely that he lacks an object of loyalty. It doesn’t look like he’s injured, it looks like he’s just... He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Joy, don't worry. He is probably in the [Promotion Ritual] of the [Knight] secret path, which is a good thing." He heard steady breathing and heartbeat, which showed that An's vital signs were very stable and there was no concern for her life. Xia En asked curiously: "Speaking of which, what was the specific process of your promotion? Can you tell me about it?" “Don’t be impatient yet.” “Promotion ritual?!” “It’s okay, just succeed in getting promoted.” "Um?" Although they have only known each other for a short time, she has already regarded this gentleman knight as a companion. “I just made a small contribution.” If I have to say it, it is somewhat similar to the state of Xia En entering [Deep Sea Diving]. Although there are different opinions, one thing is generally accepted. Hasn’t it been promoted to a very high level? However, through this, Xia En also determined the strange state that Ann fell into. Joy couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Mr. Knight, you were just writing silently..." According to legend, if you want to become a mystic, you must pass the promotion ritual. Hearing this, An's eyes became more respectful, and he thought to himself: "He is generous and humble, and he is worthy of being a captain." Xia En said frankly: "It's mainly the result of your own efforts." “Wait a minute, this situation could be...” At this moment, the sound of stale breath came from under the armor. Joy looked at An worriedly. Those who are promoted need to sink their minds into the [Secret Sea] before they can officially start the ritual! According to some sailors who failed in promotion.
Only by passing the test of the [Secret Sea], the promotion ritual can be considered a success. Initially, when Xia En heard this information, he naturally connected it with his own [Eye of the Secret Sea]. Xia En glanced around and quickly found a piece of cardboard at An's feet. 【You have the allegiance of a first-level "Knight"! 】 【Acquire the status "Knight's Protection"! 】 (End of this chapter)
