After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 194 The fourth-level hidden profession of the original sin path!
In front of the Brass Branch Temple.

The Brass Discipline Knight, who had lost his life and soul, fell powerlessly, while Ryan strolled towards Horsted and Anya.

Under the nervous gaze of the two, he stopped about ten meters in front of them and chuckled:
"If you don't come out, are you planning to wait for me to invite you in person?"

Ryan's words caused a faint doubt to appear in the eyes of Horsted and Anya, and the next second, a figure with a black face scarf and brown-black leather armor slowly appeared on the branches of the old tree nearby.

He jumped from the branch and landed on the ground, the whole process was light and silent.

The brown-black leather armor was etched with dark lines, outlining a strange crescent moon. He stood in the shadows, appearing looming in the eyes of others.

Seeing this person, Anya and Horsted both had surprise in their eyes: "Lord Quinn."

The figure of a thin middle-aged man named Quinn flashed in front of the two of them, protecting them behind him, and then raised his left hand to signal them not to speak.

From beginning to end, his eyes were firmly fixed on Ryan, not daring to shift at all.

From an angle that Anya and Horsted couldn't see, his right hand holding the dagger was covered in sweat, and his whole body was extremely nervous.

Seeing Ryan nodding, Quinn continued to speak respectfully: "Shortly after the 'World-Destroying Disaster', 'Gray Erosion' began to spread around the world. This terrible plague has no cure. Once it is contracted, it can only be alleviated." , cannot be eradicated.”

"The God of Wind protects all souls, and where the God of Wind first descended, the original wind hovered quietly."

Ryan nodded. Although he didn't know what the "World-Destroying Catastrophe" was, judging from Quinn's appearance, this thing should be common knowledge that everyone knew. After thinking about it, Ryan could also guess what the so-called "catastrophe" was. "World-destroying disaster" should be closely related to the "catastrophe" mentioned by the God of Wind.

"And the soul of the 'hero' level is the minimum standard for nourishing the 'primary wind'..."

"Even with the sacrifices of the 'Salary Kings', the disappearance of the 'Primary Wind' has only slowed down, not stagnated. Over the past hundreds of years, the world's energy limit has continued to decline. Now, no new 'heroes' can be born. "

"However, not every former 'King of Salary' is willing to bear the pain of dedication again, so the tower scholars awakened the 'undead' who had died but reawakened again, forcing the 'former Salary King' to The kings went to 'offer'..."

"Just as a strong wind has passed by, there is still wind in a small place. These 'salary kings' who have 'sacrificed' themselves still have a weak soul power remaining in their bodies."

"My name is Quinn Hassard. I am the third captain of the Yellow Sect's first regiment, with the rank of 'Knight'."

"After the 'annihilation disaster' thousands of years ago, the eyes of the gods no longer fell on the world, and the 'Primary Wind' gradually became dim, and its dimness directly led to the 'Gray Erosion Disease' and' "The upper limit of the world's energy has dropped. It is foreseeable that when the 'primary wind' completely disappears, this country will no longer be able to give birth to extraordinary beings."

After all, they are both in the "Knight" rank. Although there is a difference in strength, there is no qualitative difference.

"'Knight'? Speaking of which, I'm quite curious. On what basis are you divided into 'warriors' and 'knights'?"

"A long time ago, the supreme God of Wind came to this country with the first primordial wind. The wind gave birth to all things, so there were divisions between life and death, light and darkness, cold and heat."

"So, the tower scholars used some unknown method to bring the first sacrificed 'King Xin' out of the 'cemetery', and used the remains of his body to nourish the 'Primary Wind' again."

"What's more terrifying than the 'grey erosion' is that the energy contained in this world is getting weaker day by day."

As the guardian of the "candidate saint", Quinn's strength has reached the level of "knight" many years ago.

After hearing Ryan's words, Quinn subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party was willing to speak, it meant that he did not mean to kill himself and others. So, he quickly bowed and saluted: "Lord Zifeng, it is an honor to meet you."

"So this is it, a person from a foreign country..." Quinn felt certain in his heart. Seeing that Ryan really had no intention of taking action, he slowly put away the secret treasure held in his sleeves, and his face became more respectful: "Master Zifeng, here we are. , the strength is delineated according to the strength of the soul power, from low to high, in order:

"To this day, the term 'Salary King' generally refers to those strong men among heroes whose souls are strong enough to serve as nourishment for the 'First Wind'."

It was precisely because he knew the huge strength gap between the two sides that he had no idea of ​​​​escaping with Anya.

"So, in order to maintain the 'Primary Wind', the top experts among the extraordinary, that is, the seven strongest among the 'heroes', stood up. They sacrificed themselves and used themselves as nourishment to nourish the 'Primary Wind'. "Wind of the Wind', and these seven heroes who sacrificed themselves are also honored as the 'original salary kings'."

And the young man in front of him can kill the Brass Discipline Knight with one punch, which shows that his strength has surpassed that of a "knight" and reached a higher level.

Ryan smiled, and he didn't care about the nervousness of the Yellow Sect knight named "Quinn": "Let me know, my name is 'Zifeng', I am a traveler traveling across the mainland, and the purpose of my travels is, It’s about fighting against strong men and training yourself.”

Ryan asked curiously: "In my country, there is no such division."

"The upper limit of extraordinary people's strength is constantly falling. This phenomenon has caused panic among all extraordinary people."

"In this way, the world continues to survive again. However, without sufficient nourishment, the 'Primary Wind' disappears faster and faster, and the 'Gray Erosion' spreads more and more widely..."

There was a hint of sadness in Quinn's voice, but she quickly adjusted it and said respectfully:

"In fact, it has been a long, long time since a new 'hero' was born. And because the 'King of Salaries' has dedicated himself, although his strength is stronger than that of the brave, he is still far inferior to the real hero."

"Paladin, Brave, Hero..." Ryan thought thoughtfully: "What does 'King of Salary' mean? Why is it clearly distinguished from 'Hero'?"

Quinn sets himself apart and fights against the Brass Discipline Knight. He will definitely win, but it will have to go through a fierce battle.

There are seven levels in total including the unknown, the soldier, the warrior, the knight, the paladin, the brave, and the highest level of heroes who are comparable to the 'Salary King'. "

"It's just that this situation changed subtly two hundred years ago."

"By the way, let's deal with some unsightly 'filthy things'."

In front of such a strong man, escaping is a luxury...

But because of this, he deeply understood the value of killing the Brass Discipline Knight with one punch.

"Lord Zifeng, as I just said, the biggest difference between a salary king and a hero is whether they have 'nourished' the original wind."

Paladin?
Or a brave man?
Quinn didn't know, he only knew that if he had a conflict with the young man, his fate would not be any better than that of the Brass Discipline Knight.

"After painstaking research by the tower scholars, we finally discovered that both the 'grey erosion' and the 'decline in the world's energy limit' are related to the weakening of the original wind."

"Nearly fifty years have passed since the last time the Prime Wind was 'nourished', and this time it was supposed to be the turn of the 'former Salary King' - Saint Aeochilis, or in other words, the Brass Saint Those who refused the mission of 'nourishing' triggered a series of turmoil..."

The scene where Ryan punched the Brass Discipline Knight to death not only shocked Anya and Horsted, but he was also deeply shocked.

"That's it." Quinn said everything he knew: "Lord Zifeng, you should know about the 'world-destroying disaster' thousands of years ago, right?"

"For a long time, the 'Salary King' was highly respected."

"Lord Zifeng, I would like to boldly ask you, what is going on in your country now?"

Quinn's words were full of hope, as if he wanted to find a new way out.

In response, Ryan just shook his head and had no intention of explaining. Seeing this, Quinn's eyes dimmed again.

In the breeze, Ryan thought.

Quinn's narration opened up a layer of the world for him, a layer of the veil of the evolution of the Kingdom of Wind for thousands of years after the God of Wind left.

But what Ryan is more concerned about is the "paladin, brave and salary king" mentioned by Quinn.

"Heroes" can be ignored, because according to Quinn, no new "heroes" have been born in this world since two hundred years ago.

Even if it is born, it has already been pulled to "nourish" the original wind and become the "Salary King".

Therefore, in the era when the gods disappear, 'King Xin' is the strongest person in this world.

"Knights" are comparable to fourth-level professionals.

So, the "paladin" is a fifth-level legend, the "brave" is similar to a sixth-level demigod, and the "hero" is comparable to a seventh-level true god?
As soon as this idea emerged from Ryan's mind, he rejected it himself.

The God of Wind is a seventh-level true god. There is no doubt about this, and it has been confirmed by the panel. Therefore, the "hero" will never reach the seventh level, and is most likely a sixth-level demigod.

In this way, "Paladin" and "Brave" should be between fifth-level legends and sixth-level demigods. The specific strength will only be known after a head-on confrontation.

With his thoughts at this point, Ryan's eyes once again fell on Quinn, as well as Horsted and Anya behind him. He chuckled and said, "Guys, when I traveled to the mainland, I heard about your sect's philosophy, and I feel that it suits me very well. If I have an appetite, can you take me to your teaching place?”

"..." Quinn stiffened.

With these words, the other party is planning to catch all the yellow teachers in one go?
But soon, Quinn realized that if the Yellow Sect was really malicious, people like him would not be able to resist...

Since being split by the Brass Saint, the Yellow Sect has ceased to exist in name only, and its strength has been greatly reduced. Not to mention the "brave", even the "paladin" has only one leader left.

The silence between the three of them reminded Ryan of something, and he smiled and said, "I was negligent. Naturally, I need to bring some gifts when visiting."

"Mr. Quinn, do you know where the bishops of the Brass Church are?"

Judging from the words of the Brass Discipline Knight just now, the bishop-level personnel are at least stronger than the "knights". As a "voucher of name", several people in the Yellow Sect must be relieved.

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Quinn's eyes.

He understood the meaning of the other party's words, but still couldn't believe it: "Mr. Zifeng, you..."

"Huh." Quinn took a deep breath and lowered his head slightly: "I know the position of a brass bishop, but his strength has been promoted to the rank of 'Paladin' using evil secrets many years ago. Now, I I don’t know his specific strength.”

"Just him." Ryan said nonchalantly: "Let's go now."

Just take a look at the specific strength of the "Paladin".

"...I understand." Quinn paused: "Lord Zifeng, please follow me."

After saying this, he glanced at Anya and Horsted behind him, and they understood what he meant and followed him silently.

Quinn led the way, while Ryan followed leisurely behind.

On the way, Ryan took the opportunity to crush the [Soul of the Brass Discipline Knight] and converted all the [Soul Crystals] obtained into experience points.

Seeing the progress bar increase by 1% [Level], Ryan shook his head.

The "Knight" is still too weak, and the experience value is unsatisfactory. Ryan is not sure whether the 1% experience bar is the residual accumulation of the previous crusade against the [Crown] Gluttonous Dinosaur, or whether these [Soul Shards] are really enough. 1%.

At his current level, he must have at least a fifth-level "prey" to provide relatively considerable experience points.

The progress of the experience bar is just as shown in the figure. Ryan's main purpose of checking the panel is to see the construction progress of [Throne of Satisfaction].

The Knight of Brass Discipline is the fourth level of strength and meets the minimum requirements for construction.

-

[You have killed the "Knight of Brass Discipline (Mark of Greed)", the strength of the two sides is being compared...]

[Comparison completed! 】

[[Throne of Satisfaction] has been built by 5% (lower limit per time), and the current progress is 30%. 】

-

"5% construction progress..."

A glint flashed in Ryan's eyes.

Judging from the current situation, there should be a lot of "knights" in the Brass Holy Church. If they were all killed, it would be enough for him to quickly build a throne to satisfy his greed.

I just don’t know how strong the Brass Saint is...

Ryan was very afraid of this "salary king" in the world.

Although they are all targets of crusade in the end, he is self-aware. Although his traveling clone is beyond the realm of fifth-level legends, it is still unknown whether it can fight against sixth-level demigods.

Let’s do it step by step...

It was very quiet on the way to the place where the Brass Bishop was. Ryan didn't say anything, and Quinn and the other three didn't dare to say much and led the way quietly.

Anya and Horsted, the weakest of the four, both had the strength of a third-level "warrior". Their speed was not inferior to that of a carriage. After about an hour, they climbed over the mountains and ridges. Finally, the four of them stopped on a hilltop and looked into the distance. At the foot of another mountain range, there is a gorgeous cathedral with bright candlelight.

This is the largest church building that Ryan has ever seen, not only the main church, but also a large number of buildings stretching across the entire mountain behind.

"Lord Zifeng, here we are, here is the Brass Branch Temple, and the Brass Bishop is sitting here." Quinn said respectfully.

Ryan nodded slightly and stepped forward, leaving only one sentence.

"You guys wait here for a while, I'll be back as soon as I can."

Before Quinn could say anything else, Ryan's figure had disappeared.

Looking at the brass branch temple sitting quietly in the shadows in the distance, like a sleeping tiger, Quinn let out a breath, his expression a little complicated.

From the day he met Master Zifeng until now, he felt like he was in a dream.

"Master Quinn, do we need to do anything..."

Anya stepped forward and spoke softly.

Quinn shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Miss Anya, have you seen the strength of the 'Paladin'?"

Hearing this, Anya's eyes were stunned, but she quickly shook her head: "No." When the Brass Saint split from the Yellow Sect, she was still ignorant. Now, the only "Paladin" in the Yellow Sect is only the Tuan. He is a tall man, but in order to maintain his physical strength and energy as much as possible, the old leader will never take action unless absolutely necessary. He just hides here and there with the remaining members of the Yellow Sect.

As for the "Paladin" of other organizations? She tried to avoid him as much as possible, how could she take the initiative to come forward.

This time she went out because of her own willfulness. Now that she thinks about it, the leader of the group knew about it a long time ago and sent out the few "knights" in the church to silently protect her along the way.

Thinking of this, Anya's face was full of guilt.

There is no need to look at the guilt on Anya's face. Quinn's eyes are a little blank: "'Paladin' and 'Knight', although there is only one word difference, the difference in strength makes people feel as if there is a dimensional gap." ”

"Only the 'Paladin' can be qualified to hold high-level positions in various major sects and organizations, and have the absolute power to suppress the power of a place."

"You mean, Lord Zifeng, is a 'Paladin'?" Hosted asked cautiously.

"Maybe..." Quinn shook her head.

But he always feels that Lord Zifeng, who calls himself "Traveler", is probably more powerful than "Paladin"...

The Yellow Sect, which has been in decline for a long time, is destined to perish, but if Master Zifeng really joins, everything will be completely different...

Quinn couldn't help but think of the prophecy that had been circulating within the church for a long time.

"When the breeze blows to the end, the messenger from God comes to earth."

"He will eliminate evil spirits, cleanse away monsters, and restore peace and tranquility to the world."

"At the end of it all, the throne of God returns and the stagnant winds flow again."

This prophecy has been circulating in the Yellow Sect since thousands of years ago, but to this day, there are not many people who can remember this prophecy...

Quinn shook his head and laughed, laughing at himself: "It's just an illusory prophecy."

……

The dim light struggled to flow from the thick clouds and sprinkled on the broad church building complex, covering it with a light veil.

Ryan walked leisurely from the distant path in front of the cathedral.

Seeing him from a distance, the two heavily armed church soldiers guarding the door straightened their brass spears with solemn eyes.

When Ryan came closer and felt the spiritual fluctuations on his body that he did not deliberately hide, or in this world's terms, the soul power fluctuated, the eyes of the two church soldiers changed drastically, but out of duty, one of them still persisted. scalp said:

"My lord, may I ask what the purpose of your visit is? Do you have an invitation letter from the bishop?"

Ryan ignored the church warrior's words.

From the two of them, he could clearly feel the mixed and chaotic fluctuations, and he was very familiar with such fluctuations. Similar to the brass missionaries, they were all impure phenomena caused by using bloody evil secrets to improve themselves.

Seeing that Ryan didn't speak, the church soldier wanted to say something, but in the next moment, his pupils gradually lost their luster, not only him, but also his companions beside him.

Ryan strolled into the cathedral, and then the two church knights fell powerlessly.

A ray of shimmering entity soul appeared on the two of them. It was stirred by the sword energy, flew towards Ryan, and fell into his palm.

【The Soul of the Brass Church Warrior】

"It's the same as the 'Knight', it's [Soul Crystal], but the quantity has become a 'small amount'..."

After Ryan glanced at the introduction on the panel, he crushed it and turned it into experience points.

Inside the cathedral, light shines through the exquisite colored windows, forming pillars of light. If the light had not been too dim, this scene would have been quite sacred.

Ryan's intrusion seemed to have triggered the alarm mechanism in the Brass Branch Church.

When he stood in the center of the cathedral and looked up at the statue of Saint Iocillis, heavy footsteps approached quickly, and groups of well-equipped church warriors poured out from various passages.

They surrounded Ryan, and the entire cathedral suddenly fell into a state of solemn silence.

Four brass church knights with obviously better equipment, a large shield in one hand and a heavy weapon in the other, walked out of the team and looked solemnly at Ryan, who was looking up at the statue of the saint.

The statue of the saint is extremely beautifully carved, but it still cannot conceal the disgusting filth and corruption beneath the divine splendor on the surface.

Ryan withdrew his gaze and looked at the church warriors and four brass church knights around him, grinning slightly.

next moment.

"Boom-"

The terrifying shock wave spread in all directions, and the church soldiers who had no time to react were thrown away, and the siege collapsed.

Brass Church Knight No. 1 took a few steps back and stood still.

But at this time, he heard a twisted and sour sound of "click, click, click".

He turned his head sharply and saw that a huge hole had appeared in the chest of Brass Church Knight No. 4, which was transparent from front to back. The flame of life of Brass Church Knight No. 4 who was injured by this was gradually extinguished.

The pupils of Brass Church Knight No. 1 shrank sharply, but before he could do anything, two more similar sour sounds sounded.

Unprecedented terror emerged from his heart, and Brass Church Knight No. 1 turned around instinctively, wanting to escape.

Can't win! There is no chance of winning at all!
This is definitely a super strong man who far exceeds the rank of "Knight"!
However, Brass Knight No. 1 had just turned around and had not yet taken steps, and his movements became stiff.

He lowered his head blankly and looked at the exploded chest. A trace of misery appeared on the corner of his mouth under the mask, and then the world in front of him completely fell into darkness.

Ryan shook his fist and shook away the flesh and blood stained on the arm armor.

With the death of the four Brass Church Knights, the prompts on the panel flashed across his eyes quickly.

-

-

Powerful power rushes through the body.

The feeling of becoming stronger is so joyful!

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Crushing four [Souls of Brass Church Knights] casually, glancing at the experience value that had climbed by 2%, Ryan stepped forward and walked towards the depths of the church.

The church soldiers who were knocked to the ground by the shock wave just wanted to get up, but their eyes became empty.

If anyone observes carefully, they will find a blood hole penetrating between their eyebrows.

The experience value brought by dozens of church warriors was less than 1%, and Ryan was not surprised by this.

He walked on the magnificent, majestic and solemn avenue of the palace.

The violent fluctuations taking place in the cathedral drew attention deeper into the Brazen Division temple.

There were constant sounds of footsteps approaching here, and not long after, another large wave of church warriors, led by the Brass Church Knights, came to intercept Ryan.

To this, Ryan naturally agreed happily.

It has to be said that "knight" level extraordinary beings are rare outside, but inside this brass branch temple, they seem to be rare and common.

Could it be said that the "secret method" of the Brass Holy Church can help ordinary extraordinary people quickly rise to the rank of "knight"?
Ryan was thinking in his mind as he took care of the last Brass Church Knight in front of him.

After three waves of interceptions, his experience bar rose to "Level 19 (58%)". Compared with when he first entered this world, it only increased by 6%, not much, but not bad.

Compared with the increase in experience points, the most gratifying thing is the construction of the [Throne of Satisfaction].

It seems a bit outrageous for a third-level profession to require fourth-level enemies to build a throne. But for Ryan, fourth-level enemies can be destroyed with a simple punch without even having to draw their weapons.

[Throne of Satisfaction] can be built with quality or quantity. If it were in the world of monster hunting, Ryan could only build it with quality by defeating powerful monsters. After all, the number of special species is very rare, and it is quite difficult to find them. trouble.

But in this world, it's completely different.

The number of "knights" comparable to fourth-level professionals is astonishing, but they exist together.

Therefore, if there are enough enemies, the construction speed of [Throne of Satisfaction] is amazingly fast.

This is the fastest time in Ryan's history that his career compatibility has improved!

-

[You have killed 11 "Brass Church Knights (Mark of Greed)"*, the strength of the two sides is being compared...]

[2. Sloth Ritual: Driving others to complete a "big event" that attracts everyone's attention for oneself. (undone)】

-

The sudden increase in power made Ryan's eyes look extremely satisfied.

When "greed" is "satisfied", the joy it brings is beyond the imagination of the world.

The emergence of the fourth-level hidden career information made his happiness even higher.

"The King of Sloth...the Sloth Ritual..."

He thought softly and put it down temporarily.

The ceremony needs to be considered in the long term. For now, it is better to deal with the enemy first.

With the end of the three waves of interceptions, no warriors or knights from the Brass Branch Temple came out to intercept them. Perhaps they were all killed, or perhaps the higher-ups deep in the church knew that the invading enemies were not easy to deal with and no longer allowed them to be attacked. They came out to die.

Ryan moved forward, and finally came to a dark palace in the depths.

In the shadows in the distance, under the tall stone statue of the saint, an old man wearing priestly clothes sat quietly.

Ryan's eyes showed some caution.

He could feel that the old man in front of him was completely different from the "miscellaneous soldiers" he had encountered before.

Just like the "ordinary monsters" in the Monster Hunting World are to the "special species".

The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Ryan who was walking towards him.

Eyes facing each other.

War is imminent.
