Chapter 152 Treasures and Treasures
"Bang!"
With a loud bang caused by the shock wave, the flag in Alka's hand was directly blown out.
It fell to the ground far away, rolling diagonally on the ground until it touched the door frame and stopped.
Alka kept rubbing his numb right hand, as if his right hand had suddenly cramped.
The noise in the living room alarmed everyone living in the villa.
This is a three-story villa with a garden, located outside the cathedral.
This is where Bobby bought his house after retirement, planning to spend his old age.
Alka and his friends are taking a rest here temporarily, including Andre and his friends as well.
Fortunately, the three-story villa is large enough and has enough rooms for them to rest.
But now only Alka and others are in the villa. Andre, Vanessa and Bobby went to the cathedral.
"What's wrong?" Jason poked his head out from the second floor.
Seeing Alka on the first floor, he stood up silently and went to the door to pick up the treasure flag again.
"Are you so extravagant as to throw away treasures?"
Xiadaiti walked in, looked at Alka's actions, and asked with a smile .
And Lucelia standing on her shoulders.
Pororo and Julia also came in from outside.
The noise just now was indeed quite loud.
Alka picked up the flag, sat back on the sofa, and sighed.
Lucilia jumped onto Alka's shoulders in a few jumps, sat on them and asked, "What's wrong, Alka? Are you having any problems?"
In front of several people, Alka raised the flag in his hand and said, "I can't control this flag. The Dream Catcher is very repulsive to it. As long as I try to infuse magic power into it, the Dream Catcher will send out a magic shock wave to bounce it out."
"Moreover, this flag is also very resistant to the magic power that has the attributes of the Dream Catcher. It is not willing to accept it at all and rejects it all."
Alka's consciousness was already very clear. It seemed that these two treasures could not coexist in the same person.
Moreover, with his physical condition, Alka could feel that if forced, the conflict between the two treasures could cause internal injuries in his body.
Obviously, Alka's questions touched upon several people's blind spots in knowledge.
In response to Alka's question, several people looked confused.
Questions related to treasures were really too beyond their scope and beyond their ability to understand.
Alka tapped Lucilia on his shoulder and asked, "Do you have any idea about this kind of thing?"
Lucelia sat on Alka's shoulders, folded her doll's arms across her chest, tilted her head and began to think.
She had read so many books that she needed to recall them carefully to find any clues related to the treasure.
But it must be said that knowledge related to treasures is almost impossible to find in books.
This kind of knowledge usually comes from word of mouth, and it may even be a secret of a force. How could it be known so easily?
Not to mention that she had never been a toucher before and had no interest in such data. After all, she had never encountered such a problem.
"There is no such knowledge recorded in the book, but I do know some deeds in my family that may be related to your current situation."
"When a family obtains a new treasure, it will be activated. At that time, some members of the family who hold the treasure are not allowed to be present."
The activation of treasures means knowing the abilities of treasures without mastering them.
This is what Alka learned from Lucelia when he obtained the treasure before. It is some knowledge about the treasure.
This stimulation will activate the energy of the treasure, and this energy will have certain treasure abilities.
The holders of some treasures are not allowed to be present... That is to say, the exclusion is not absolute.
Of course, this is just a simple guess and it is difficult to confirm.
At this time, Lucilia's voice sounded again: "And Alka, do you know? During the time when you died, um... I mean the time when you pretended to be dead."
"What's wrong?"
Alka asked confused.
"I heard Jack say some very strange things. It might be related to your situation."
"Jack?" Alka frowned, becoming even more confused.
Lucelia nodded.
At that time, Lucillia did not exist in the magic mirror, but was temporarily in the soul space of a fake body.
It is safe here, and even if her fake body dies, she will not be in any danger.
And she was still there and could feel what was going on outside.
It was not just Jack who was caught off guard at the time, but Alka and the others also had to make temporary adjustments to their preparations.
Through the previous curse experiment, Alka thought that after killing Jack, Jack's wounds would react to his own body and kill himself, but this was not the case.
It seemed that Jack had done it on purpose, letting himself kill him with his own hands, and this ritual seemed to cause his soul to die instantly.
On the contrary, the curse did not transfer the wounds on the body.
This caused the false soul in Alka's fake body to be destroyed, but the body remained in the world.
That's why Alka was not ejected from the dream immediately, but stayed in the dream instead.
Because Lucilia was in the soul space of Alka's fake body at that time and determined that this body could still be used?
That's why Alka was not ejected, because the fake body was only half dead.
It was for this reason that Alka was able to remain hidden in the form of a corpse and only come out at the critical moment.
Their original idea was.
At the moment of his death, Jack will definitely have a gap.
At this time, his father took over Jack's body, and the resurrected Alka took this opportunity to kill him.
As a result, because the body was not completely dead, Alka and the others had time to wait for the best opportunity.
It was at this time that Lucelia heard some of Jack's mumblings.
"At the time, he said that he was lucky to have obtained an extra treasure, but he hoped that your treasure was part of a set."
"A group of..."
Hearing this, Alka frowned and thought.
"What does that mean? Are the treasures connected to each other, and those that can be connected and combined are considered a group? Or are those that can be adapted together and do not conflict considered a group?"
Alka said to himself.
When others heard the news, they all shook their heads in confusion.
They don't even have treasures, these things are too far away for them.
However, Julia said: "But there is one thing that is absolutely certain, that is the treasure. I must have two or even more."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.
Julia must have experienced much more than them, and her knowledge must be broader.
"In my hometown, I once met a man who possessed two treasures. He used the two treasures very smoothly and had no rejection phenomenon."
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
Since this is certain, don't make too many blind guesses.
No matter how much you guess, you won't get accurate information.
After thinking for a while, Alka stood up and said, "Why should we guess here? Why don't we just go and ask the archbishop?"
Anyway, the Archbishop must know that Alka now has two treasures.
Although I am not a member of the church now, I can be considered a devout believer of the Virgin Mary.
Even if we ask the archbishop, he won't give us an accurate answer, but he will at least give us some useful information.
That is, if he really knew.
Maybe he is waiting for me to ask.
After all, Alka didn't feel at ease taking this precious flag.
It can be considered as the church's indifference, or generosity.
Hearing Alka's words, several people nodded.
There's nothing wrong with that.
It is true that we cannot come up with the correct answer by just guessing.
Alka thought for a moment and looked at Xia Dai and asked, "Xia Dai, how are the treasures being handled?"
Hearing this, Xia Daiti waved his hands helplessly and said weakly: "There are too many treasures and too many types. I need to sort out these types and then find the right buyer to sell them to."
Alka smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, keep it up!"
There are indeed too many treasures, and they have to be sold off slowly.
Otherwise, if too much is sold in an instant, the price will definitely be suppressed.
Anyway, they are not in a hurry now and have plenty of time.
Even if it's vacation.
Hearing Alka's encouragement, Xia Daiti rolled his eyes and waved his hands helplessly.
Then Alka put Lucilia on his shoulders on the coffee table and walked out of the villa alone.
We walked along the cobblestone road all the way to the cathedral's ring street.
The whole island is called Cathedral, but the name comes from the Cathedral of Our Lady in the middle of the island.
On both sides are various buildings with a strong religious atmosphere, and half of the island is occupied by various church buildings and facilities.
The half closer to the periphery is where the pilgrims live.
The entire island is surrounded by ports, and countless pilgrims come here every day.
Because there were so many pilgrims, a limit was set on the number of people who could come in to worship each day. Otherwise, the number of pilgrims would fill every crevice on the island.
Today the streets are still bustling with pilgrims.
There were common people in plain clothes, wealthy businessmen in luxurious clothes, and even aristocrats with arrogant looks.
But here, even if you look down on others, you have to hold it in, otherwise it would be blasphemy against the Virgin Mary.
Alka walked along the white marble streets, around the circular avenue all the way to the center of the island, towards the Cathedral of Our Lady at the foot of the huge statue of the Virgin Mary.
The huge statue of the Virgin Mary can be clearly seen even from the surrounding sea.
Even facing the sun in the sky, the light will not shine, and will always be soft.
The huge Cathedral of Our Lady below is composed of various spires and reliefs, and the golden ears of wheat around it replace the role of flowers.
This place is full of elements related to the Virgin Mary.
Every pilgrim coming out of the church wore a wreath made of wheat ears on his head.
Looking at the golden headbands on everyone's head, Alka couldn't help but wonder, are these golden ears of wheat enough?
He won’t become bald, will he?
Is it a bit disrespectful to think about such things in this place?
Thinking this way, Alka came outside the church.
Instead of entering from the front gate, I went around to the side path where there was a small courtyard.
This was not his first time here. He had come here several times with Bobby and the others in the past few days.
As soon as you enter from the side, you can see all kinds of machines, as well as unknown ores and various materials piled everywhere.
Everyone here looks focused, standing or sitting in various places doing their own things.
When they heard someone coming in, some people looked up and when they realized they didn't know the person, they immediately lowered their heads, as if every second longer would be a waste of time.
This is the Cathedral's Casting Institute, where most of the Cathedral's casters work, manufacture, learn and communicate.
"Arka? Why are you here?"
Jiami wiped the stains off his face and hands, put down what he was doing and walked over.
This is also where he works and studies.
Aka had been here once before, so I came here specifically to see him.
Followed Alka to the door.
After all, there are too many people and it's noisy inside. It's not a good place to chat and it will disturb others.
Arriving in the courtyard, Alka leaned against a branch, looked at Gami in front of him and asked, "I want to know how to see the archbishop. I don't know where Andre and Bobby are."
After learning the reason why Alka was looking for him, Gami nodded and sat in the cab to operate the car. At this time, he suddenly raised his head.
"Archbishop...Archbishop!"
Jamie, who was about to talk to Alka, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then shouted.
At this moment, Alka felt someone tapping his shoulder and turned around immediately.
Only then did I realize that there was an old man standing behind me.
When did he stand behind him?
After all, Arca has also achieved triple spirals, reached the perfection of a stage, and is also a magician.
As a result, the old man came up behind me and patted me on the shoulder, and then I noticed him.
Don't underestimate him, this old guy is very strong.
He was wearing an off-white robe with green and some gold lines dotted on it, and a triangular cloak on his back.
There was no laurel wreath on her head, nor were she wearing any complicated accessories. Her clothes were simply dressed.
His hair, eyebrows and beard were gray and hung down, but looking at his face one could tell that he didn't look old at all and was very energetic.
Looking at Alka in front of him, he nodded with a smile and asked, "Little guy, are you looking for me?"
Alka quickly took a step back, folded his arms over his chest, and bowed.
"archbishop."
"Haha, don't be so polite. You are not my subordinate. We are both believers of the Virgin Mary."
He said with a smile, patted Alka's shoulder, and waved his hand to signal Alka to follow him.
Jamie nodded to Alka and watched them walk to the back of the church.
I followed the archbishop all the way to the back of the church and walked in through the side door, where there was a spacious hall.
Judging from the surrounding attire, it seems to be the inner prayer hall.
It is used for some poets' prayers and rituals and is not open to the public. It is easier to communicate with the Virgin Mary here.
An exquisite statue of the Virgin Mary is located in a recess in the wall.
The archbishop walked over and stood in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary, folded his arms and closed his eyes.
Suddenly he asked Alka behind him, "Little guy, do you want to ask me something?"
Hearing this, Alka didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Archbishop, I would like to ask, the two treasures have a very serious repulsion and cannot be used at the same time. How should we solve this problem?"
The archbishop was not at all surprised that Alka possessed two treasures.
The voice was calm and slow, "It can't be solved, which means these two treasures are not suitable to be together, so naturally we can't force them to serve one person."
Although Alka was mentally prepared, he still felt a little discouraged when he heard this.
Because he really has two treasures, and they are mutually exclusive and cannot be used at the same time.
"This is a very normal thing, kid. There's nothing to be discouraged about. Treasures are objects of such powerful energy, how could they get along normally with each other?"
"It's like a power having two equally strong men. It would be a disaster. Just like the Wasdin Empire in the past."
At this point he suddenly paused, then asked: "Do you know the Wasdin Empire?"
"One thing I know is that he and the Menichelle Alliance fell into the Dark Realm."
The archbishop nodded, and then said: "You know what? Hundreds of years ago, before they fell, they were one. They were one of the most powerful forces in this sea area, and even the church had to respect them."
"However, in the same era, they had a pair of twin princes. They were so outstanding that any one of them would have been a pioneering and wise ruler in any other era, but they were born in the same era."
"Because they were born in a different order, the eldest prince inherited the kingdom. How could the second prince, his twin brother, be inferior to him?"
"They are equally good, of the same royal blood, and of the same pride."
“It naturally split.”
"It's just like treasures. It's normal for powerful treasures to repel each other. It's very rare for them to be willing to get along peacefully with each other, or even willing to cooperate with each other."
At this point, the archbishop suddenly laughed.
"Haha, I haven't chatted with young people like you for a long time. I accidentally said a little too much."
"It doesn't matter. On the contrary, I benefit a lot from it."
"Really? Haha, that's good!"
In other words, if you want to own two treasures, you have to find treasures that can complement each other, or at least not exclude each other.
But such treasures are rare and require opportunity.
It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain even one treasure, let alone two suitable ones.
Thinking of this, Alka suddenly asked, "What if the levels are different, such as the [Holy Grail] and the [Scepter]?"
