Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

The sea area at night is illuminated by the stars on the sky curtain. There is only one unknown star hanging in the night sky tonight.

As a result, tonight's night is a little darker than last night.

In front of their field of vision, a flashing red light guided them.

Looking at the red light coming from the distance, Alka said: "Get ready, everyone, we are about to arrive."

Following the guidance of the red light, they could already see the huge towering lighthouse. There is a red cross star on top of the tower to guide the surrounding ships.

The landmark building of Southern Cross Island, the Red Star Lighthouse.

At this time, the Dawn Sound has been covered with a simple camouflage, and the iconic bird head on the bow has been changed.

It turned into a very normal bow like a shark's head. Although it was a temporary change, everyone still accepted Pororo's crazy suggestions.

The coat of arms on their sails also changed into a shark head with a trident-like symbol in its mouth.

With such a disguise, they first slowly sailed into the port, and then began to move uncontrollably, arriving at the area dedicated to storing ghost ships.

"I haven't seen you? What are you doing here at Southern Cross Island?" At this time, a patrol team at the port came to the ship, and the leader asked Alka and the others on the ship.

"We are a treasure hunting group. We happened to pass by here and wanted to replenish our supplies and rest for a few days."

"Treasure hunting group?" Captain Wei looked at Aka, and then they didn't think much about it.

"A golden sail."

Alka nodded without hesitation.

A golden sail appeared in his hand and he flicked it into the captain's hand below. After checking the golden sail, the captain nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand cheerfully, and a red mark was printed on the bow.

"Recently, there has been strict enforcement. Strangers from outside can only move in the port city. Unless they have proof, they are not allowed to go to the central city."

Alka nodded when he heard this.

Then watched the patrol team leave.

"Okay, let's take action." Alka turned to everyone and said.

Jason nodded first, jumped off the ship, and walked towards the port city in the dark.

He needs to collect some information about the recent Southern Cross Island first. After all, it has been several years since they left the island.

Who knows how much this place has changed in the past few years?

Of course it is possible that nothing has changed at all.

"I'm going down too." Alka said and jumped off the ship.

I searched silently under the cover of night.

Look at your surroundings and start comparing them with the memories in your mind. They have been on Southern Cross Island for a while and are quite familiar with it.

Of course only the port, as for the royal capital outside the port and inside. They hardly know.

Soon, Alka saw the street sign, turned into Mast Street, and came to the former No. 28.

The shop was still open at this time, but there were not many customers inside. After all, it was already night. Alka looked at the plaque above.

Golden trout.

It seems that Balazs, who risked his life to stay and gamble, managed to survive.

After thinking for a while, Alka turned around and came to an alley and walked towards the alley.

The alley is slightly dark, and there are some water stains under the feet. Fortunately, this alley does not emit any overly pungent odor.

Go through the alley to a small staircase leading to the second floor, and open the iron gate outside.

As the iron gate opened, it seemed that some kind of spell was triggered and lightly swept Alka. Alka walked straight through the stairs to the second floor.

Leaving the wooden door.

As the door was pushed open, the crisp bell rang.

There is dim light inside.

People in twos and threes were sitting in various places in the bistro on the second floor.

The boss was wiping the wine glass and looked at Alka, frowned slightly, and then looked at it carefully for a while.

"Stranger? But I must have seen you somewhere, right?"

Alka smiled and said, "I was lucky enough to come here several times a few years ago."

Then I ordered two glasses of wine and walked to the table in the corner to sit down. Looking at where Alka was sitting and ordering two glasses of wine, the boss walked silently behind the bar.

Alka just sat silently, carefully tasting the wine in front of her. It seems to be waiting for something.

About an hour later, a man in a cloak walked into the tavern and gently threw the bag in his hand towards the boss.

The boss took it directly and put the bag away.

And the man in the cloak came straight towards Alka in the innermost corner, and sat down opposite him before lifting up his cloak.

It was Balazs' face that was revealed.

It can be seen that there are still some scars on Balazs' face, and these scars are slightly old.

"Alka, long time no see. It's been many years, right?"

Alka smiled and nodded, picked up his wine glass, and clinked it with Balazs opposite.

"Yes, it has indeed been many years."

Balazs smiled and drank the wine in the glass, looking at Alka with a serious frown.

"Although we haven't seen you for a long time, it seems too early, right?" He looked at Alka with a question in his eyes.

He remembered that if he remembered correctly, Alka should have just passed the third stage.

But now, less than a few years are too short to fully calculate.

Alka opened his eyes and looked at Balazs in front of him: "You are already at the intermediate level of the third stage. You are growing very fast."

If he remembered correctly, Barras should have only reached the second stage when he left, and seemed to be less than the third stage.

But after all, Balazs has his own treasure, so this kind of growth in strength is considered normal.

Balazs looked up at Alka: "I still can't see through your strength, so now that you're back, you obviously have confidence."

Alka nodded: "Of course, I will not come back to die."

Balazs nodded. Since Alka said so, there is no need to ask too much.

"It seems like you made the right bet. You should be doing okay these years, right?" Alka looked at Balazs and asked.

"When I came here, I saw that your Chamber of Commerce had reopened."

Balazs smiled bitterly, and then shook his head: "In the eyes of outsiders, I am just a dog of Kriel, and this chamber of commerce is not my chamber of commerce."

Alka nodded and understood, although Balazs was right in his bet. But obviously Kriel would not trust him so easily, or would never trust him in his life.

I just thought he could still be used, so naturally I made him my subordinate without any hesitation.

His loyalty is not required.

Then Balazs reached out and tapped the table, and a faint soundproof spell flashed, blocking the sound from their table.

Then Balazs looked at Alka and said.

"This time, you are definitely going to kill Kriel, right?"

Alka nodded: "Yes, I tend to hold grudges."

If they hadn't had some tricks at that time, they would have been wiped out by Kriel.

Although running away in the end was even a blessing in disguise, Alka would not thank his enemies for this.

This man must be killed by their hands.

Balazs nodded, confirming Alka's exact target.

Then he said: "I don't know how long you have been here, but I have to tell you now that the capital is relatively turbulent now."

Alka nodded: "We were informed when we docked that we cannot leave the port city for the royal capital at will."

"Yes, the specific reason is that Kriel killed his father, his brother, and everyone who would hinder him."

Hearing this, Alka looked at him in confusion: "Ah? Why would he do this?"

If he remembered correctly before, Kriel should be the general of this country and control all the military force of this country.

To put it simply, the king at that time can be described as a mascot and there was no threat to him.

And Kriel is the real power in this country.

Why kill these people under such circumstances? There is no point in getting rid of your relatives for no reason.

All he can do is bear the infamy.

Although it is said that the royal family has no family ties, meaningless investment will obviously only leave hidden dangers.

"There are several reasons. For example, at some point, the king has begun to refute some of Kriel's opinions on governing the country." Balazs pointed at his head as he spoke.

"This king is not very smart."

Hearing this, Alka probably understood. The king who was pushed to this seat was obviously bewitched by someone.

I really feel like I am a king and in control of this country.

"Furthermore, Kriel has successfully advanced to stage 5 last year. He seems to have some ambitions and is actively engaging in diplomacy at this time.

And those members of the royal family who are not willing to be controlled by him have been causing trouble internally over the years. He was just irritable, and he didn’t have that much time to deal with these internal rats, so..."

After listening to Balazs' explanation, Alka probably nodded.

"So are you sure you can kill a stage five king? There are some guards around him and stuff like that."

"Are you sure he only advanced to the fifth stage last year?" Alka asked.

"I can guarantee this. He did advance to the fifth stage last year and then began to officially reveal himself."

Hearing this, Alka nodded: "That's no problem, of course, it can't be done blatantly."

To put it simply, Alka was confident that he could kill Kriel, even if he was surrounded by guards.

But obviously he couldn't be allowed to go straight into the palace and fight his way in. This was obviously a bit exaggerated.

Balazs nodded after hearing this, thought for a while and then said: "I suggest we wait for a while, now is not a good opportunity."

"Why do you say that?"

“Because although I don’t want to admit it, Kriel does have a very strong ability to govern the country.

The more you learn about it, the more you need to admit it, and he has now killed almost all members of the royal family who would interfere with him, so once he dies, the country may be extremely chaotic. "

Hearing this, Alka frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at Balazs in front of him.

"I will kill him. Even though he is important to this country, he must die."

"I totally agree with that, but it will take a while."

"Since you said that, you must have a reason." Alka looked at Balazs and said, needing to give him a reason to convince him.

Barras nodded: "Of course, although the previous king was not very smart, he did give birth to a good son.

I had the honor to meet him before. He is talented and charming, but not ambitious enough and has very good political skills. "

"Simply put, he is a very suitable king."

"Didn't you say that all those who get in the way are dead?"

"But he's out of the way, right? And he's a believer in Our Lady and is studying abroad.

If Kriel did something like this, he would definitely come back quickly. "

"Followers of the Holy Mother..." After hearing this, Alka leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but ponder.

"Will he come back safely?"

"Yes, Kriel is not so bad-minded that he would be an enemy of the Holy Mother Church. And his nephew is a saint of the Holy Mother."

"Why?" Alka didn't quite understand some of the politics of this world.

Although he himself doesn’t understand politics very well.

But this saint of Our Lady will certainly be able to take over Kriel's place under certain circumstances.

Why do we have to leave such a powerful hidden danger?

Balazs seemed to understand Alka's confusion.

He explained next to him: "You are a believer of the Holy Mother, so you should be able to know that Southern Cross Island does not like this. We believe in the White Mist Serpent, which is what you and we saw before."

Alka nodded. This Southern Cross Island believed in a powerful king in the dream.

Although Alka had no idea how this dream king would care about them.

"So this young man doesn't quite win the hearts of the people, nor the ministers. In the eyes of the people on the island, he is an alien."

Alka nodded, probably understanding.

It is possible for this young man to come back for revenge, but it is obvious that the Holy Mother Church will not help him.

This internal political struggle is not what the church wants.

And he won't have much influence on Kriel's power.

Therefore, it is a character that needs to be eradicated, but if it costs too much, forget it.

"So Kriel's idea is probably to let his nephew come back to take revenge on him, so that he can kill him without offending the church." Balazs summed it up briefly.

"So you want to wait until he comes back, kill Kriel and let him take over the position of king?"

Alka asked looking at him.

Balazs nodded: "I was born here, grew up here, and I don't want to mess up this country because of my hatred.

But I do hate him, so I hope there is a slightly better plan. And now this plan is possible, isn't it? "

"And you are a believer in the Holy Mother, aren't you? We also knew in the dream before that the big snake that the country believes in has ended its contract with the royal family, and he no longer protects the people of this country.

Although I don’t know much about this boundless sea area and have never been far away, it has become increasingly chaotic recently. Sea conditions are also becoming increasingly dangerous.

People seem to often have nightmares in their dreams. All this shows that the great god of Baiwu has left us. "

Here Balazs frowned and said: "So, if he ascends the throne, it will also allow the Holy Mother Church to start preaching in this area.

It is a good thing to believe in a true and powerful god. I think you won't refuse, right? "

After listening to Balazs' words, Alka supported his chin with his hand.

Looking at Balazs, he said: "You succeeded in convincing me, and you are also very discerning."

The departure of the White Mist Serpent caused certain mist-like creatures to still gather in the dreamland of this gathering place.

But those black mist creatures that had been peeping from the periphery for so long must not be able to resist wreaking havoc.

Mental weakness is inevitable, and of course it will not last long.

After these black mist creatures vent for a period of time, a balance will naturally occur with the number of mist creatures.

But the people who once had the White Mist Serpent here have never had nightmares.

Of course they couldn't accept it.

And with such a powerful Dream King in this area, it will naturally make the environment in this area very stable.

The departure of a powerful being will naturally cause this area of ​​reality to become chaotic.

Southern Cross Island is just going from complexity to simplicity.

But it’s difficult to move from complexity to frugality.

Now is indeed a rare opportunity.

It is certainly a good thing to gain more believers for Our Lady. After all, Alka has always accepted the kindness of Our Lady and her church.

To be honest, it didn't provide any good help.

I hope this time it can be regarded as a sincere one.

If you can reduce the losses of innocent people in the case of revenge, why not do it?

It's just a matter of waiting a little longer.

Can afford to wait.
