Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

Alka has arrived at No. 28 Mast Street. At this time, the door of this shop has long been closed, and it looks unusually conspicuous on a street with a large flow of people.

After just one glance, Alka walked towards a corner alley not far away.

As we entered the alley, the whole world became slightly quieter, and no one wanted to enter this alley.

Arriving at the spiral staircase, Alka walked up.

"Ding dong!"

The bell rang softly as Alka pushed the door open.

As soon as they came in, they saw Balazs, still sitting in the corner where they sat last time, waving to Alka who came in.

The boss at the counter next to him looked at Alka with his one eye open and nodded slightly.

Alka responded politely and went directly to the corner to sit in front of Balazs.

"Sorry for the wait."

"No, I should be sorry for making you wait on the island for a week." Balazs said with a smile.

After saying that, he poured a glass of wine for Alka.

After a gentle touch, the exchange began.

A piece of yellowed parchment appeared in Balazs's hand. The border of the parchment was painted with golden lines, and there was the imprint of the Virgin on the back of the paper.

This is a contract, using the contract of the Holy Mother Church. Anyone who violates it will be cursed by the Holy Mother.

Balazs handed over the parchment.

"Look, these are the terms I drew up with the church pastor."

When Alka heard this, he did not pay attention to the parchment, but asked strangely: "Is there a church on this island? Or is it the Church of Our Lady?"

"Ah? Don't you know? I thought you..."

Balazs was even more surprised than Alka. He felt that he must have read it correctly. Alka was a believer of the Virgin. Why didn't he know that there was a church of the Virgin on this island?

"We have been active in the town since we landed on the island, and we haven't seen any churches."

Although Alka knew that the Four Gods Church existed in the Infinite Sea, he did not expect that there would be a church of Our Lady on Southern Cross Island.

What a coincidence.

Hearing this, Balazs nodded: "The church is located in Latus. If you have time, you can go there. It is also a good city."

Latus is the central city of this island. If it is pronounced in the language of the Vastva city-state, it means "shining star".

"Are there other churches of gods?"

Hearing Alka's question, Balazs shook his head.

"Of course not. This is the scope of the spread of Our Lady's faith. Other churches will not come here to spread their faith." Balazs took a sip and said.

I see.

No wonder the lingua franca of this place is the lingua franca of Home Sea.

The residents on the island basically use the common language of the home sea to communicate. Does it mean that the Virgin Mary spreads faith here no longer just a day or two?

However, the religious atmosphere here is very light. In daily communication, Alka did not even see the praying gesture of crossed hands.

It seems that these people actually don’t have much faith in the Holy Mother.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Alka turned his attention to the contract. Looking at the terms formulated by Balazs above, they were all the same ones he and Balazs had discussed last time, without adding any additional terms.

The distribution of this treasure after it is obtained will be reasonably distributed by both parties based on their contributions during the treasure hunt.

Both parties are not allowed to conceal the value of the treasure, nor are they allowed to take it privately, nor are they allowed to hide any information they know about the treasure.

During the treasure hunt, on the premise of ensuring your own safety, you are not allowed to deliberately harm the other party by any means.

Very reasonable terms guarantee the interests of both parties in the treasure hunting process.

Alka felt that he had prepared more contracts like this. As a treasure hunting group, they would definitely use them in the future.

"I'm OK."

"Okay, then let's press the blood seal."

As Balazs spoke, a wound appeared on his thumb, and light blood gushed out, and he pressed it on the contract.

Then the blood evaporated immediately, leaving black lines on the contract.

Alka then did the same thing.

When the contract was established, the paper of the contract was turned into ashes and turned into two golden beams tied to the wrists of the two people.

As the beam disappeared, a pattern of wheat ears surrounding the wrist appeared on the wrist.

The ear of wheat is the most famous and representative symbol of Our Lady.

It represents the establishment of a contract between both parties.

Then the two smiled and shook hands.

"So nice to work with."

The next step is to exchange information about the treasure.

Balazs said: "Let's go to the boat to exchange information. This place is obviously not an easy place to communicate."

Hearing this, Alka nodded without any objection.

The two of them walked all the way down and towards the port.

When passing No. 28, Balazs glanced sideways.

"I hope this operation goes well."

Hearing this, Alka couldn't help but glance at him.

This sounds unlucky, especially at a time like this.

After chatting briefly for a while, the two of them arrived at the port and walked through the crowd to the side of Dawn Voice.

"please."

Balazs walked up and looked at the appearance of Dawn Voice carefully.

Speaking of which, he had never been on this ship.

"What a beautiful boat." He couldn't help but pat the edge of the boat and said.

At this time, on the deck, some doll girls can be seen sparring with each other.

Balazs saw these doll girls as soon as he walked up. However, fortunately, he had seen them several times when he was on the island, so he was not too surprised.

It was just the number of doll girls on the boat that made him a little surprised.

"So there are so many little girls on your ship? What race are they? Are they a race unique to the Four Gods Sea? To be honest, I haven't seen them here before."

Balazs asked curiously.

After all, he is also a traveling trader, and has been traveling around for more than ten years. I dare not say that he has seen all the races in the Infinite Sea, but he has either seen or heard of most of them.

I had never known that there was a race of little girls here who were only 30 centimeters tall.

This made him curious.

"They are doll girls." Alka simply said without going into details.

Balazs nodded and did not inquire further.

Several winged doll girls flew out of the restaurant carrying a shelf.

"Anyone else can fly?"

Balazs couldn't help but say that he really didn't expect that there would be different changes.

Then, behind the doll girl, Huanlu, who seemed to be holding ingredients, walked out.

He looked at Alka and said hello, then looked at Balazs next to him.

I had met him several times on the island, so I nodded politely.

Alka brought Balazs to the captain's cabin and sat on the big round table.

They took out the human skin maps they had and pieced them together.

"We each took paper and copied a copy of the map, and we each took our own half of the original map," Alka said.

Balazs nodded.

I copied it very quickly, after all, the map is just some lines.

"Then tell me what information you know about this pirate, and which island this map points to."

After hearing Alka's words, Balazs stopped nagging and directly spoke out the information he knew.

"This pirate who was executed 20 years ago is known as the 'Piranha'-Krian. He is a treasure controller who has reached the fourth stage of strength. The pirate group he leads is called 'Bloody Bite'."

"The tactics he often uses are disguised sneak attacks. Since he often uses stolen ships, he always succeeds. He never likes a particular ship.

According to the pirates who had been with him, he would destroy a better ship before snatching it, just to avoid being recognized.

Then he was forced to absorb some members and sailors on the ship, disguised as the former ship, and then relied on him to attack teams familiar with the ship. "

Listening to Baras's information, Alka had already constructed a cruel and cautious but extremely despicable person in his mind.

"For what reason was he finally arrested?"

He was a little curious, how did such a cautious person end up being arrested and then executed?

"The young king was out training at the time, and he attacked one of the king's ships, and the king's sister was on board."

Got it, that means you offend the wrong people.

"So soon after he was captured alive during the siege and taken to Rattus to be beheaded."

Alka nodded and leaned back in his chair.

After briefly digesting the information, he asked: "So is there any information about his treasure? And where is he most likely to hide the treasure?"

"According to the pirates who invaded with him and his enemies.

During the battle, two balls will appear on his body, which can bring fear to the enemy. The companions who fight with him are always brave and fearless, and are not afraid of death. "

"This is the only information I have. After all, it happened 20 years ago. They are all the memories I got after finding some people who had experienced that period."

After speaking, Balazs took out a chart from his body.

Looking at this chart, Alka sat upright. Didn't he expect that the Infinite Sea also has a chart?

However, when I looked around, I saw that it was not a chart at all, but a few strange dots on the picture.

There are lines connecting each other.

What does this picture mean?

"This is?"

"This is a map of the Infinite Sea. Although the oceans and islands here are always changing, at least there are links to the islands surrounding the target island."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sea chart and explained to Alka why this thing was called a sea chart.

There are words on the chart that say Broken Sea.

After the explanation, Alka understood it simply.

In other words, the big dot in the middle represents Southern Cross Island, and all the small dots extending from the lines represent islands connected to Southern Cross Island.

Although the distance of the far point above from the island will change, the order of distance from the Southern Cross Island will not change.

The distance range will not change much, although it is still fluctuating.

There are also some data labels next to each island, which roughly means when they will leave and when they will return to the link.

Through these data, Alka learned.

The closer the island is to Southern Cross Island, the shorter the time to leave the island chain from Southern Cross Island.

In particular, the two islands not far from Minami Ten Star Island will basically only leave for no more than 10 days and nights out of 100 days and nights.

The rest of the time, he will be tightly held by his side.

If it is far away, it may be that out of 100 days and nights, only 10 days and nights will come back.

Broken Island is actually still in the ranking of these island chains, a relatively high island.

“As for which island he might have hidden the treasure on, I don’t know.

But it is said that he should be hiding among the islands in the Southern Cross Island chain, because since he became a pirate, he has never been out of the Broken Sea and has been active here. "

As he spoke, he also marked a place on the chart.

"He was besieged on this island. Although it is connected to the island chain, it is a small abandoned island."

"This is all the information I know. I hope it can be of some help to you."

After Balazs finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly, because with all the information he knew, to be honest, he had no idea how this information could help him find the treasure.

Because he didn't even know the most basic map of where the island might be.

After hearing what Balazs said, Alka nodded.

Looking at the copied map in his hand.

Although the information he gave was really rudimentary, other treasure hunting groups might have given up cooperating with him.

After all, if they can't get useful information from it, it's equivalent to being useless.

But for Alka, this information is enough for him to have a certain understanding of the treasure.

While he was thinking, his fingers gently clicked on the map, tapping as if thinking.

A message appeared in the golden light on the map.

The information about the treasure has indeed been expanded.

[Treasure information: The treasure hidden by a pirate named Klian is his lifelong harvest. It is also ill-gotten wealth, stained with the blood and wronged souls of innocent people.

The [Holy Grail] level treasure [Twins of Fear] is hidden here.

The treasure was hidden in an unexpected place, a safe enough place that only he knew. 】

The treasure information was expanded, allowing Alka to know the name of the treasure.

But the most important and critical problem is that they don't even know which island the treasure is hidden on.

According to past experience, treasure information rarely tells Alka the island he is on.

Because this is not included in the information that the treasure information will expand at all, he can only find a way to find it on his own.

There are two ways now.

One is to find a way to find the island where its treasure may be hidden. Then just blink your eyes and the mystery will be revealed.

Another way is to get all the maps of the islands linked to the Southern Cross and check them one by one, using the most tiring but most effective stupid method.

Just then, he remembered the knock on the door, interrupting Alka's train of thought.

Xia Detti walked in.

Alka looked at it and said, "Are you all back?"

"They're all back."

"Then call everyone over and let's have a small meeting."

After a while, Xia Detti and the others came in one by one, sat on the round table, and nodded politely to Balazs.

Facing the professional treasure hunting team, Balazs sat there in silence and closed his mouth. He decided to take a closer look at how this professional team hunted for treasure and learn from it.

He was still very curious about treasure hunting teams. He had seen some teams but never how they worked.

"I've told you before, right? Information about the human skin map.

Today I have signed a contract with Balazs to search for this treasure together. "

"Now I will tell you what I know."

As he spoke, Alka briefly told everyone the information he had just obtained from Balazs.

"Then the most important thing now is to know which island this treasure is hidden on."

Xia Detti looked at the copied map in his hand and said.

She had already seen that the map in her hand was an island, and the detailed map of the previous area was of no use at all.

Alka nodded and told everyone the two methods he had just thought of.

Jason thought for a moment, looked at Balazs next to him and asked, "Are those who still remember the deeds at that time still on this island?"

"Some are still there, because I have forgotten some of this information. I asked them again a few days ago." Balazs answered truthfully.

Jason nodded, thought for a moment and said, "If you don't mind, can you take me to visit them later? I'd like to ask again."

"No problem, of course no problem."

Everyone already knew what Jason was thinking, and he wanted to ask if he could get more information.

"Can Mr. Balazs help me find relevant maps of other islands? I need to compare them.

This way you might be able to find where the treasure is buried. "

Balazs also nodded to Xia Detti's proposal, which was not difficult for him.

After all, other islands also have maps, but they are not publicly sold.

But he is a businessman after all. Although he has been suppressed recently, at least his connections are still there.

And this is Southern Cross Island, a signpost island that connects surrounding islands.

It's relatively easy to get some maps here.

Afterwards, everyone continued to communicate with each other and determined the next course of action.

Assign the tasks that each person has to do.

The entire brief meeting is considered to be the end of the communication.
