Chapter 143: Reunion
The captain's room of the "Treasure Harvest". Behind the captain's room is the room where Alka lives.
At this moment, he had just opened his eyes from the bed.
He was not sleeping. From the sweat on his forehead, you could tell he was doing a quick meditation.
With the Dreamcatcher, meditation becomes more efficient and is accelerated before reaching the triple helix.
Rapid meditation also puts a certain amount of pressure on the physical body, but fortunately, it will only cause more fatigue.
He could feel that he was almost there. In another two or three days he should be able to reach the third spiral and complete the first stage.
After cleaning up, Alka came to the deck.
On the deck at this time.
Xia Daiti was holding a two-headed Gothic doll and rubbing his face against the doll's cheek frantically.
"Ahhh, Lucelia you're so cute!"
"Really? Really?" Lucelia asked happily without any disgust at this time.
The sound it makes is very babyish.
Hearing this sound, Alka couldn't help scratching his head. He couldn't figure out why it was such a sound.
He used the Hand of Precision to recreate a brand new doll for Lucelia to use, and used the Hand of Precision to reconfigure and construct it.
In addition to allowing Lucelia's soul to interact with reality, the current doll also allows her to express herself verbally through the doll's body.
And it is also able to protect Lucilia's soul, using some of the techniques Alka obtained from the Soul Trapping Mirror.
Because Alka has tried to make a magic soul-trapping mirror by herself and customized it for Lucelia, which might make her life in the mirror more comfortable.
But it is still under research and experimentation.
However, the combination of the two allowed Lucelia to play with the doll for a longer period of time, extending it from one hour to two hours, directly doubling it.
And even after playing for two hours, Lucelia's soul would not feel unusually tired.
In the next stage, Alka plans to develop functions for multiple play sessions and quick recovery.
This would allow Lucelia to use the doll to move throughout the day, and at most she would need to take breaks at intervals.
It was just like an adult needing sleep, except that Lucilia needed segmented sleep and slept for longer periods of time.
But at least it allows Lucelia to interact more with reality so she won't feel lonely.
But why does Lucelia make this sound when her doll speaks? Is there something I haven’t adjusted correctly?
As Alka came to the deck, Lucilia jumped directly from Xiadaiti's shoulder, crossed a distance of more than two meters, and lay steadily on Alka's shoulder.
Then he struggled hard twice and finally sat firmly on Alka's shoulder.
"Thank you Alka, I love this doll body."
Hearing the babyish voice next to my ear, coupled with the appearance of Lucelia's doll body, it is really cute.
"Why does your doll sound like this when you talk?"
The doll shook its head: "I don't know either. After entering this body, my voice became the same as when I was a child."
“I see.”
Alka rubbed his chin, taking the point to heart.
The mysteries of the soul are truly magical.
He looked at Xia Dai and asked, "How is it going? Have you tracked down any church ships or pirate ships?"
Xia Daiti shook his head and said helplessly: "No, this sea area is too empty, and for some reason no pirates will come to our area even if we stay where we are."
They hadn't encountered any church ships in half a year, and they only knew from some pirates that the church was attacking them.
And it caused great losses to them.
I wanted to capture some pirates and ask them if they had encountered any church ships, but in the end I didn't even encounter any pirates.
It was as if they had given up their target. Even if they stayed where they were, no pirates surrounded them in the sea to search for them.
This is very different from before when they were chasing like hounds.
In the past, if they dared to stay there for more than a day, many pirate ships would appear around to search for them.
That's why they have to keep moving, even without a goal.
Hearing this, Alka frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "My father must have confirmed that I received his message, so he is now retreating to Alcot Island, waiting for my arrival."
Given the level of control his father had over those who had been touched under his command, he would definitely know clearly after his death.
And there should be survivors on the ship that was burned before.
There were too many channels to let his father know that he already knew the message he wanted to convey.
"Be careful, there is a ship approaching our direction."
Pororo, who was steering the ship, suddenly listened attentively and said.
Hearing Porro's words, the people on the boat immediately became alert.
Even Lucilia on Alka's shoulder pulled out a sword from somewhere.
Of course, the sword is made to fit her body size, like a toy.
But judging from Lucelia's expression, she should be very satisfied.
He posed handsomely on Alka's shoulder.
Alka came to the stern, looking through a monocular telescope in his hand.
As the ship gradually appeared on the sea surface, Alka began to examine it carefully.
Speaking of which, Porro's detection range is really far. It can detect movements beyond its field of vision, of course, only on the sea surface.
After all, he is a warrior of the sea, and the sea is his home ground.
Once on the island, reconnaissance will still depend on Xiadaiti's silver ripples.
High precision and wide diffusion.
It was a ship with gold and green colors interwoven together. The entire ship emitted a faint milky white light, making it extremely conspicuous in the dark night.
As the ship sailed, Alka finally saw the logo on the ship's canvas.
"Our Lady of the Church?"
Alka never expected that he would collide with it like this. He hadn't collided with it for half a year, but now he happened to encounter the church's ship.
Could it really be the Virgin Mary’s blessing?
Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but shake the silver metal box he had been carrying on his back.
Speaking of which, I have been carrying this box for half a year, and it has almost become part of my back.
Even when sleeping, Alka would wrap his hands around the chain.
However, the consumption of magic power by the Sword of Mercy here is really outrageous.
So Alka doesn't like using this sword very much.
His own fighting method is to use various cards that have been prepared in advance to fight, which consumes very little magic power. There is always enough magic power stored in his body to deal with dangerous situations.
Once he uses the Sword of Mercy, with the magic power in his body, it will be like a pump running at full capacity to extract the magic power from your body. That feeling is really uncomfortable.
So generally Alka would not use this sword unless he encountered a crisis, like the last time he encountered the red evil spirit.
Pull it out without hesitation to meet the enemy.
As for these pirates, to be honest, it's hard to get Alka interested in using the Sword of Kindness.
They ran not because of the other pirates on the Dead Man's ship, but because of his father.
If his father hadn't been chasing him as well, these pirates wouldn't have been enough to keep them running.
When Alka knew that it was the ship of the Church of Our Lady, he waved his hand and signaled Porro to stop the boat.
Then, a faint light began to shine on the entire spell ship, and the ship controlled by Alka activated the energy spell on the edge of the ship to protect against dark elements.
Such light, coupled with the lighting stones on the ship, is quite attractive in the dark.
Sure enough, at that time the church's ship was heading straight towards Alka and the others.
Along with it came a flying bird with blue lines.
Seeing the bird flying over, Alka frowned. Was there someone he knew on the boat?
Otherwise, how could a bird come here?
The blue line bird flew over and tried to stand on Alka's left shoulder.
However, Lucilia, who was sitting on his left shoulder, waved her hand and chased him away.
"Go away, go away, go to the other side, this is my place."
The sound bird had no choice but to fly to Alka's right shoulder and disappear beside his ear.
The sound he conveyed was delivered to Alka's ears.
"Who is it?" Xia Daiti couldn't help but ask curiously.
The transmission of [Sound Bird] is limited.
You either have to know the person you want to pass the message to, or have had contact with them. If you have never even met them, you cannot pass the message.
Of course, other media are also possible.
The connection between the church and Alka is primarily through Andre and his people.
Xia Daiti couldn't remember who in the church Alka knew.
Alka turned and looked at her, "It's Jason."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xia Daiti's face.
"Is that it Jason? Does that mean Vanessa and Jamie are safe?"
They still haven't received any news about Jason and his companions' safety, they only know that the pirates haven't caught them.
Hearing this, Alka shook his head helplessly: "I don't know about that. Jason didn't say. He just said that he was the one on the boat and would meet us soon."
"Will this guy be able to pass on a message?" Xia Daiti gritted his teeth and waved his fists twice.
As the church's ship slowly approached Alka, they also saw the scene on the ship.
At this time, Jason was wearing a white robe with green stripes like tree branches on his body.
From under the white robe, you can see equipment that looks like soft armor, and he also has a rifle-type rock-shaking gun on his back.
"That's the attire of the church knights. Only they wear white robes embroidered with green branches."
In addition to Jason, there were about a dozen other people on the boat dressed like Jason.
Even though Alka was not very sensitive to energy, he could tell that these dozen people were probably touchers.
Because these people exude a faint holy light, which resists the invasion of darkness.
Each of these knights carries a different weapon, and if you look closely you can see that they can be formed into three teams that cooperate closely with each other.
A middle-aged man stood on the edge of the boat and looked at him. His attire was obviously different from the surrounding church knights and looked more advanced.
He should be the captain of this ship, or the leader of this team.
Before the ship was fully stable, Jason jumped over and landed on their deck.
He walked over quickly, hugged Alka tightly, and patted his back heavily.
"That's great, you're all okay, it's really great." His voice was filled with excitement.
Alka and Xiadaiti also seemed very happy.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Daiti slapped Jason on the shoulder and asked, "Where are Vanessa and the others? Are they safe too?"
"Don't worry, they are all safe." Jason said with a smile.
Then he looked around on the boat, his expression gradually became silent, and he opened his mouth and said, "Sangkakata..."
Jason had obtained some intelligence long before, when he was killing the pirates, indicating that Sangkaka was very likely dead, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But now it seems that it is gone.
After hearing this, the two of them fell silent for a moment.
Alka patted Jason's arm, sighed and said nothing more.
He had already prepared himself mentally, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Only then did the church's ship completely approach the spell ship and stop.
The middle-aged knight on the boat came up and stood in front of Alka.
Alka could sense that this knight was very strong, but not necessarily much stronger than himself.
This feels like it should have the strength of a triple helix.
He looked at Alka, then at the silver metal box on Alka's back.
"You must be Alka, nice to meet you. I'm a squadron leader of the church knight squadron. Just call me Kosaya."
He said and shook hands with Alka.
Then he pointed at the metal on Alka's back and asked, "Let me confirm, is there the Sword of Kindness inside?"
Alka nodded, lowered the silver box from his back, and handed it to the knight in front of him.
Kosaya took the box, opened it and saw the holy sword inside. He held it and poured magic power into it, then looked at the sacred flame burning on it and nodded.
He put it back in and carried it on his back.
The most important object of this mission has been recovered.
Then he looked at the few people and said, "You are safe now. Come on, I will escort you out."
Hearing this, Alka and Xiadaiti looked at each other, and then Alka shook his head.
"No, we can't leave now."
"Why? You are facing pursuit now, aren't you? You will be safe as long as you return to the church's waters." Kosaya asked with some confusion.
"I'm about to confront my father. We need to rescue Andre, so we need your help."
"Confront Sivers? Is he still your father?"
These two pieces of information shocked the knight in front of him and Jason next to him.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s the father’s problem or not.
"You want to face him? You know he has a treasure, right? You should also know that his strength must be triple spiral. How can you stand in front of him under such circumstances?"
"Don't sacrifice your life because of a momentary impulse."
Kosaya couldn't help but lecture him, saying that in his opinion, Alka would be courting death if he went to face it head on.
Alka shook his head and waved his hand.
The dream catcher on his waist spiraled up and floated in front of him.
Then the magic power poured into the Dreamcatcher, activating it.
The energy fluctuations emitted by the Dream Catcher were immediately noticed by the knight in front of him.
He looked at the crystal ball on Alka's chest, and then looked at Alka.
The shock on his face was even more exaggerated than what Alka had just said, and even had a hint of disbelief.
"Is this a treasure?"
"You...are really amazing. Really amazing."
He couldn't help but sigh.
Under such circumstances, even while being hunted, he still got a treasure.
He didn't know what to say.
No wonder you never use the Sword of Mercy to attack, there is no need at all.
How can a sword of mercy that has not been activated through a ritual be compared to a real treasure?
Taking back his previous contempt, the knight looked at Alka.
"Then tell me, how do you want us to help you, or how should we cooperate with you?"
Alka nodded.
"On the day of harvest, my father and his pirates will be waiting for us on Elcot Island. If we don't go, he will kill Andre."
"Harvest Day... Alcot Island, yeah, I get it."
"When you are ready to go for the appointment, please notify us in advance and we will be ready to go with you. You can go there at that time."
Hearing what Kosaya said, Alka nodded, so now it was simply an agreement.
As for what actions to take next and what intelligence they have obtained in the meantime, they will communicate with each other.
Now they need to return the holy sword, as they won't feel at ease carrying it on their backs.
After the conversation, the knight captain looked at Jason next to him, thought for a moment and said.
"Then you stay here now and serve as a temporary liaison."
"No problem, Captain."
Jason happily accepted the task.
“It’s less than a month until the harvest day. I need to convey this message to the church quickly and make adequate preparations.”
"Then I will take my leave. May the Virgin Mary bless you."
The knight said as he crossed his arms and nodded to Alka and the others.
Alka and the others also returned the gift.
I watched the knight return to his ship, then control the ship back the same way, going farther and farther away.
"Is this true? You have a treasure in your hands?"
It was then that Jason asked in disbelief.
Alka nodded.
After getting Alka's confirmation, Jason held his head in disbelief.
"Oh my god, what have I missed!"
They both couldn't help but smile at Jason's heart-wrenching words.
Jason essentially joined the treasure hunting group and even joined the church because he loved treasure hunting.
Missing out on the treasure hunting experience of finding treasures was an absolutely heavy blow to him.
Then, Alka took Jason to get to know the other two people on the boat.
