After going into the sea, I met the witch.

Having used the greatsword for so long, Ryan has developed his own understanding of this weapon. Greatswords, with all their attribute enchantments, are just fancy stuff. They may have some use, but compared to the greatsword's terrifying destructive power, they are only slightly better than nothing. Instead of focusing on attribute enchantments, it's better to be pure, abandon attribute damage, and pursue the ultimate physical output.

During the time Ryan used the Greatsword - Ferocious Ice, the ice damage was only somewhat useful at the beginning. Later on, that little bit of ice damage was practically "scratching" the monsters.

As for monsters that can't be damaged by physical attacks, just leave it to the "Blood Greatsword".

Master Jinchui looked at the young man before him and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Sir, are you serious? If it were forged according to the standards of the giants, this greatsword would weigh more than ten times as much. Are you sure?"

Looking at the "petite" human body before him, Master Golden Hammer doubted whether he could even lift a weapon of such size.

You need to understand that you can't just pick up a weapon and use it. You need at least several dozen times the weight of the weapon to use it properly. Otherwise, the weapon will not be an aid, but a hindrance.

“You don’t need to worry about that, just go ahead and do it.” Ryan smiled, offering no explanation, but instead asked curiously, “Do you have any connection with the Silver Hammer Master and the Bronze Hammer Master?”

"They are my junior brothers."

Master Jinchui gave a brief answer and said no more. His question was only because he was worried that the weapon he had made would get dusty, but in the end, he cared more about the process of forging the weapon.

"Forging will take about half a day. Come pick it up at 9 pm. Here is the receipt."

As they spoke, Master Golden Hammer tossed Ryan a golden metal disc, one side of which was engraved with a hammer, and the other side with a serial number—sac00113.

"Then I'll come and pick it up later."

Ryan put away the voucher, turned and left the blacksmith shop. The Golden Hammer Master, who witnessed Ryan's departure, looked excited. After hanging a sign on the door that read "Forging in progress, no customers at the moment," he locked the door and headed to the forge at the back with the Crimson Horn.

Such precious and previously unseen materials stirred his long-dormant heart.

He can't wait!

……

Ryan had just stepped out of "Golden Hammer Blacksmith Shop" when he heard the door slam shut behind him. He turned around, glanced at the newly hung sign on the door, and smiled.

His main purpose in re-entering the city of Santos today is to find a suitable blacksmith to forge a greatsword.

Ryan was initially worried about whether the blacksmiths in Saint Tos City were skilled enough to handle the Crimson Unicorn, but he unexpectedly encountered the Golden Hammer Master, whose strength was "unknown".

A blacksmith of this caliber would definitely have no problem handling the Crimson Unicorn.

As for whether the other party would embezzle such precious materials... Ryan wasn't worried about that.

Through his previous interactions with the Silver Hammer Master and the Bronze Hammer Master, he knew that these craftsmen did not care much about material things. Moreover, the "Golden Hammer Master's" strength was listed as "unknown" on the panel. A powerful person of this level would not stoop to embezzling even a little of his materials.

Having achieved his main objective of entering the city, Ryan wandered aimlessly through the streets.

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of strolling through a bustling street.

The sea view is beautiful, but you can get tired of it after a while.

The street vendors sold all sorts of strange and unusual things, many of which Ryan had never seen before, including local specialties. For a moment, Ryan found himself lingering there, reluctant to leave.

After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, the crowd in front of him suddenly became chaotic and crowded. Ryan looked up in confusion and looked over.

The crowd seemed to be drawn by something, and surged in one direction.

Ryan's keen hearing allowed him to hear the conversations amidst the noise.

"Let's go, hurry up! The Pearl of the Kingdom, Princess Water Drop, is going to the main temple of the Libra Church for her weekly prayer today. After she finishes praying, she will stand on the high platform and sprinkle 'Water Drop Blessings.' It is said that those who receive 'Holy Water Drops' will receive a cleansing of body and mind, and will have good luck for a period of time!"

"Damn it, there are too many people. Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Ryan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing the conversation.

"The princess of the Kingdom of Saint Tos?"

Speaking of which, on his first day in the city, Ryan was chased by the Libra Knights of the Libra Holy Church, which left a deep impression on him. On the contrary, the apparent masters of Saint Tos City, the Saint Tos royal family, had a very weak presence.

In this country where divine and royal power coexist, the royal family of Santos should, in theory, possess considerable power.

"Go and see."

In the blink of an eye, Ryan made his decision.

Firstly, most of the street vendors had gone to watch the excitement, so there was no point in him staying. Secondly, he was very curious about the so-called "Water Drop Blessing" and the main temple of the Libra Church, especially the latter.

The main temple of the Libra Church houses the "Sacred Scales," a divine artifact said to be left behind by the gods. It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious about it.

Because of the "Black Cat Fortune Telling House" incident, Ryan has already stood on the opposite side of the Libra Temple. Under these circumstances, the more information he can gather about the Libra Church, the easier it will be to deal with it in the future.

And so, Ryan mingled in the crowd, continuing his journey toward his destination.

It has to be said that the reputation of this "Water Drop Princess" is really exaggerated. Ryan witnessed a large number of people in the city crowding towards the Libra Holy Temple after hearing the news.

A dense, overwhelming crowd surrounded the Libra Temple, forming three or four concentric circles, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Thanks to his strong physique, Ryan managed to blend into the front of the crowd.

This spot is perfect; it's not conspicuous, yet you can still clearly see what's in front of you.

At present, the main gate of the Libra Holy Church is firmly closed. On both sides of the gate, there are two rows of fully armed elite kingdom knights. The spiritual fluctuations of each knight are no less than the second level.

Looking at the towering and magnificent building in front of him, a look of amazement flashed in Ryan's eyes.

The main hall of the Libra Church resembles a church in appearance, but it is much taller. It is entirely white and gold, with magnificent stained-glass windows. However, if it were only that, it would not be considered "magnificent". What is most amazing is the main structure of the Libra Church’s main hall, which is supported by a huge scale at the top.

The two huge, perfectly parallel scale pans are decorated with exquisite and intricate patterns on the bottom, outlining a shape resembling an eye. From a distance, it looks as if a deity is slightly opening its eyes, looking down at mortals below. Those who look directly into these "divine eyes" cannot help but feel nervous and dare not overstep their bounds in the slightest.

Because of the distance, Ryan could not see the specific description of the "Divine Scales," but the majesty emanating from it made him realize that this legendary "artifact" was definitely extraordinary.

Just as Ryan was pondering, the metal doors of the Libra Holy Church’s main temple, located more than 20 meters above the ground on a platform with exquisitely carved pillars as railings, slowly opened.

A slender figure slowly walked out of the open door.

My daily book recommendation: "I, the Witch's Keeper!"

Summary:

After traversing a mysterious world, Locke is bound to a witch-feeding system. Based on folk tales, neighborhood gossip, and various tabloids, he explores 54 times in search of the legendary witch, only to find that they are all rumors and that he is a fool.

Just when he was about to give up the search for the witch, he unexpectedly saw a job advertisement...

Chapter 118 A New Legacy of Sword Techniques!

On the outlying island, in the heart of Santos City, beneath the "Sacred Scales" symbolizing absolute fairness, a graceful figure slowly emerges from behind the doors of the high platform.

A magnificent long dress, with a base of azure blue reminiscent of the ocean and embellished with gold, trailed to the ground. Thin veils concealed her face, preventing anyone from glimpsing her stunning beauty. Yet, her blue-gold eyes evoked a sense of facing a vast ocean in those who looked directly at her.

The ocean's gentleness and boundlessness, as well as its rage and ruthlessness, are all contained within it.

—Delina, the eldest daughter of the royal family of Santos, the Water Drop Princess.

Ryan frowned slightly in the crowd.

Although he was too far away to see the "Water Drop Princess's" profile, he instinctively felt that the "Water Drop Princess's" strength was at least at the level of a third-tier hero, or even higher.

As expected of the Saint Tos royal family, which can stand alongside the Libra Holy Church with its "divine artifacts," even with only the tip of the iceberg revealed, they are not to be underestimated.

"Princess Water Drop!"

"your Highness!"

Upon seeing the woman's appearance, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, the clamor so loud that even the flags surrounding the Libra Holy Church's headquarters trembled slightly.

Seeing the enthusiastic shouts of those around him, Ryan pretended to cheer in order to avoid being too "different".

At that moment, a solemn female voice echoed out.

"The blessing of the water droplets is about to begin, everyone..."

"--quiet."

The speaker was a female knight who had appeared behind Princess Waterdrop at some unknown time. She was dressed in full white knight's armor, with not a single inch of skin exposed.

Wherever the sound passed, the shouts of the people came to an abrupt halt, as if a pause button had been pressed.

"What a strong spirit!"

Ryan was shocked; this level of spirituality even surpassed that of the "Iris Knight" he had faced before.

Is it the third-order limit, or something above the third order?

“My dear people…”

On the high platform, Princess Water Drop parted her cherry lips slightly, her voice clear and ethereal: "Thank you for your kindness."

Please accept my heartfelt blessings.

As the sound faded, she flicked out ten drops of blue-gold liquid, sprinkling them onto the crowd below.

In an instant, a surge of people rushed toward the spot where the blue-gold droplet had fallen, all hoping to receive the "droplet's blessing" and the legendary "luck."

Ryan was swept along by the crowd, showing no interest whatsoever in the "holy drop of water" that could bring so-called "luck".

Who knows if this thing has a location tracking function, and what price you have to pay for this so-called "luck"?

He's never believed in free lunches.

To Ryan's surprise, even though he had tried his best to avoid the "holy droplets," he discovered that one of them seemed to be specifically aimed at him, locking onto him no matter which direction he moved in the crowd.

Before he could erupt, the "Holy Water Drop" suddenly accelerated, hitting his face—or more precisely, the [Number 7 Overturning Mask] he was wearing.

At the same time, a slightly familiar voice appeared in his ear: "Number 7 Purple Wind, this is Number 1 Red Kite. Don't worry, Princess Water Drop has reached a cooperation agreement with our Overturned Palace. This 'Holy Water Drop' will serve as the hub for our Overturned Palace members to communicate in the real world. It's also a small perk."

“Besides you, Green Tide (number 4) and Blue Bell (number 5) in the crowd also received ‘Holy Water Drops’.”

The sudden sound made Ryan stop himself from tearing off the [Number 7 Overturning Mask], but more importantly, he was distracted by the description of the [Number 7 Overturning Mask] on the panel.

-

【Mask No. 7 Overturned: One of the sub-masks derived from the Treasure-A09 Overturned Palace. After wearing it, one can simulate different faces according to one's own ideas (or make the mask transparent to show the true appearance). It is difficult for external detection methods to see through and lock onto it.

When wearing this mask, silently recite "Hall of Overthrow" in your mind, and you will be teleported to the "Hall of Overthrow" after ten seconds (auto-teleportation, only once every half month, if summoned, it will not consume teleportation attempts).

The mask's surface is now stained with "holy water droplets." For the next week, your luck will increase by 1. These droplets will also act as an "anchor," helping Mask #7 achieve voice communication within a certain range.

-

"Fortune +1? Anchor, voice communication?"

Ryan's gaze narrowed slightly.

The so-called "fortune" involves many aspects, and anything that can affect it, whether good or bad, cannot be of low status.

The role of the second "anchor point" is what Ryan cares about even more.

If the ownership of the "holy water droplets" is based on the manipulation of the Water Drop Princess, then what is her purpose in leaving "anchor points" on so many people?
