Chapter 161: The Treasure in Motion
"Normally she just tries to restrain the enchanting magic around her. To these natural animals, it's the same as not confiscating it."
"When you see her in the sea, you won't be shocked by such a small thing."
Before she knew it, several more small animals had gathered around her and were jumping around Julia.
Julia played with them for a while, then waved them away.
However, you can still see them peeking in every corner.
This little incident caused them to waste some time, but it did not affect them. They continued to move forward along the planned route.
After a while, they arrived at the location of the dilapidated port they had just seen.
We also saw several tribal residents in the wooden house. They were guarding the safety of the port and keeping on alert.
In response to Alka and his friends' arrival, these residents walked over with spears in their hands, looking a little wary.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Normal people wouldn't come to this damn place.
It is cold and remote, with nothing special about it. Even their tribe has young people leaving every year.
Alka did not answer, but simply raised his right hand. A faint holy light flowed out from his hand and gathered in front of him to form a symbol of the Holy Mother Church.
"We are from the Church of Our Lady, and we are here to explore this island."
Seeing the signs displayed by Alka and his men, the tribesmen immediately put away their spears.
It was easy to accept, and you could see they relaxed visibly.
The leader said with a little helplessness: "Ah, you are here again, do you want to ask something this time?"
It seems like I've gotten used to it.
Alka didn't find this situation strange.
Because of the information the church gave him, the most recent time was more than 10 years ago, when the last person who took the mission came here to investigate.
Judging from the age of the tribal residents in front of me, they have not forgotten what happened more than 10 years ago.
According to the information, the person who took on the task of exploring the Arctic Triangle had carefully questioned the residents of these islands.
Almost everyone who takes on a mission to investigate will ask this question.
Because everyone feels that they can ask a different answer from others.
But the answer is obvious.
The residents here are more or less used to it.
One of the residents even said with a smile: "It took you so long to come this time."
Judging from the resident's face, he should be in his 40s or 50s, which is considered old in this area.
Alka also smiled and nodded and said, "This time we want to measure the island and draw a map. I hope we don't disturb you."
"Maps?" The leader thought for a moment and said, "We have maps. Do you have any extra supplies on your ship? If possible, let's exchange them."
Hearing that they had a map, Alka smiled.
This would save them a lot of time, and there would certainly be sufficient supplies on board.
After all, there are only 6 of them, so even if they consume more, it won't be much.
Of course I'm willing to exchange some for maps.
"No problem, but I need to see if the map works first."
Let’s see if any light spots can appear first. If no light spots can appear, then what’s the use of the map?
After all, they are the residents here, and they may not draw the map in a very standard way. Maybe they just make some random marks based on their habits and intuition.
The leader nodded, then walked into the hut . After a while, he came out with a piece of animal skin, went straight to Alka and spread it out for him to see.
Although this map is rough, it looks well drawn and the markings are very detailed.
Alka blinked.
A spot of light flashed directly on the map, and the golden beam of light was so dazzling.
"Well, good, it can be used."
"Then wait a moment. I'll have my crew deliver the supplies. What do you need?"
After a brief exchange, Alka took out about 5 silver snakes' worth of supplies to exchange with them.
Of course this map is not worth that much. Alcardo gave some of it, which doesn’t matter.
Who knows if we will need their help in the future, after all, this island is someone else's home.
He rubbed his fingers together, and the blue lines formed a flying bird, flying away into the distance.
About an hour later, Polo controlled the spell ship to sail over, and Jason controlled the Flying Swallow to stop directly at the port, with some supplies loaded on it.
After moving the supplies down, the tribesman handed the map to Alka.
He also smiled brilliantly and thanked Alka repeatedly.
Arka waved his hand after receiving the map.
"Let's go back to the boat first."
After saying that, they boarded the Feiyan and returned directly to the ship. They simply secured the Feiyan but did not tie it up completely because they would definitely have to go to the island again in a while.
After returning to the ship, Alka went straight into the captain's room with the map.
Although the map on the parchment was rough, it was relatively accurate. Each area was drawn and labeled in detail.
Even some height differences are marked with light and heavy colors, which makes this map quite high-quality.
Except for a few white lights, the blue and golden spots of light almost overlapped with each other.
The golden light almost completely covered the blue light, and it was impossible to see it unless you looked carefully.
The area where these two light spots are located is called Ice Rock Mountain on the map. These are the peaks that are close together in the center of the island that they just saw.
However, those mountains are not high, they are just very conspicuous.
The mountain peaks are covered with snow, and from a distance, they look like a piece of white clothing worn on the island.
This is how the place got its name.
Alka reached out and stroked it.
Since the golden light and the blue dot almost overlapped, this time the light landed on the blue dot.
【Ancient Thing】
[Difficulty: Anti-God]
【Popularity: 3521】
[Treasure Introduction: Bahamulod's Ancient Magic Guardian.]
This is a difficulty name I have never seen before, and the difficulty seems outrageous no matter how you look at it, and there is no strength spiral marked at the end.
The Anti-God... doesn't look like he has no power spiral at all.
The popularity is inexplicably high.
Is it because this magic guard is also famous in other places?
Alka basically has a full understanding of what fame is.
The so-called fame does not refer to this treasure, but to the name of the treasure itself.
For example, the Sword of Mercy. Anyone who is a believer of the Virgin Mary and has read the Virgin Mary's scriptures knows about this thing.
Most people were unaware that the sword had been lost, and probably thought it was in the hands of the church.
But this does not prevent these people from knowing and becoming famous.
Previously, Alka had found a standard magic helmet in the Dark Realm.
Almost unusable though.
But the popularity of that thing reached 36,000 when it was seen in Alka.
This is because this type of magic helmet was previously a high-end helmet worn by the guards of the Wasdin Empire.
There are many people and wealthy people in the outside world who will collect him.
Especially some wealthy people and senior officials of the Blood Gold Alliance.
There must be more than one such helmet, there are many.
Alka encountered such treasure twice in total.
And they have the same level of popularity.
However, this situation only occurs with blue treasures.
Because the white ones are mostly various coins and ordinary wealth.
It is impossible that the popularity of the treasure will be increased just because everyone knows about the Golden Sail and Silver Snake, which will make the popularity of the white spot reach an outrageous level.
Alka didn't understand why there was such a strange way of calculating popularity.
Let’s get back to the introduction of the treasure.
The appearance of the introduction of the treasure means that Alka must have known some information about the treasure before.
Alka knew Bahamut, and that was the only name he knew.
As to what this referred to, he had no idea.
He had seen these words before in the book "Dreamland".
It was just a casual mention at the time.
Without this introduction, Alka might never have remembered it.
So this refers to an ancient country or force?
Magic Guardian...
Arka's mind involuntarily appeared those robot-like things made by using spells and various materials.
Generally, it appears in the image of a knight in armor.
The last time they encountered something similar to a magic guard was in Thad's treasure house.
These things are expensive and very valuable.
Thinking of this, he moved his hand next to the golden light.
Start looking at this main goal.
【Frost Nova】
[Difficulty: Extreme Cold Tolerance]
【Popularity: 261】
[Treasure Introduction: The (Holy Grail) level treasure Frost Nova, which was held by the Frost Bloodline Family , was controlled by the then patriarch Rhodes.
800 years ago, Rhodes discovered a small ancient ruins on this island. While exploring the ruins, he was discovered by the ancient guards in the ruins. The ancient guards launched a sneak attack on him, and the fatal attack killed Rhodes on the spot.
The attacks of the ancient guards have been ongoing, causing the treasure to be in a state of maximum stimulation for 800 years, affecting the surrounding ecological environment and plunging the surroundings into eternal extreme cold.
The guard's attack is directed at any life that carries or possesses the treasure, as well as the treasure itself.
You must break through the solid ice to reach the area where the two are attacking each other, then shut down the Ancient Guardian.
Otherwise, the treasure's activated state will continue to freeze anyone who approaches into ice sculptures. 】(Perfect)
The treasure introduction actually appeared perfectly.
This was the second time Alka had seen a perfect treasure introduction. A perfect treasure introduction would directly and completely disclose all the information about the treasure to Alka.
And he will tell him the difficulty of obtaining the treasure and the conditions required to obtain it.
Alka looked at the information on the introduction.
Taking the information given by the church as an example, this introduction should essentially only extend to the state where the treasure is attacked and is in an excited state, and the subsequent information will not be presented.
The following information will show that it should be Alka who just clicked the blue dot first, and through the introduction of the blue dot, he learned the information about the ancient guard, so all of this combined makes the information perfect and the expansion is completed.
The guard just now is also a treasure, and the difficulty of obtaining it is that of an anti-god.
And it is also said here that the ancient guards will target all lives that possess treasures or carry treasures, as well as the treasures themselves.
Tell Alka not to mess with people who have treasures.
The patriarch who once inherited the Frost Bloodline named Rhodes should have come here with the treasure and then been attacked.
The sneak attack caused direct death, which means that the guard's attack power is absolutely strong.
But whether it is the blue dot or the golden dot, it shows that one does not need to be extremely strong to obtain it.
In other words, as long as you don't carry or control treasures, you won't be attacked by the guards.
If you want to go down there, you have to endure the extreme cold because the treasure is in an activated state.
This excited state even caused the surrounding seas to plunge into an extremely cold environment.
If you want to get close, it's impossible unless you have a certain level of resistance to the cold.
But as long as they can endure the cold, ordinary people can also turn off the guard.
After simply sorting out the information revealed by the treasure, Alka began to think.
First of all, the treasure must be under the ice and rock mountain. If you want to get in, you have to find a road that can lead into the mountain or down the mountain.
It's likely to be a pothole or something.
I just don't know if it collapsed due to the attack.
Just because you own the treasure and have control over it doesn't mean you don't have to carry it with you.
The introduction clearly stated that one had to possess or carry a treasure, but Alka didn't dare to gamble.
This means that the key task of shutting down the guards and taking the treasure has to be handed over to others.
Thinking of this, Alka put away the map and came to the deck, where several people were waiting for him.
"Let's take action, everyone. We will go together this time." After Alka said this, a silver bell appeared in his hand and he tied it to the mast.
Then he and Porro took out some supplies from the cabin and threw them into the Feiyan. Everyone boarded the Feiyan and came to the shore again.
The residents on the island watched them return and came over to smile politely.
Alka and his men brought the supplies up.
"Please keep an eye on our ship for me. These supplies are my thank you gift."
The middle-aged man in the lead smiled brightly, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to us. We will definitely not let anything happen to your ship."
"Thanks!"
Alka nodded, and then led Jason and the others towards the center of the island.
The ice and rock mountains were extremely conspicuous, and even from the sea they could see the peaks in the center of the island.
We followed the path all the way to the foot of the mountain.
This is a mountain with three adjacent peaks close together, covered with thick snow, and no plants can be seen on them.
At the foot of the mountain, Alka casually pushed the snow on top and felt that something seemed wrong below.
Then he took out a red card and threw it directly into the snow.
As the flames broke out, the surrounding snow melted rapidly, causing the snow above to begin to collapse and fall.
Fortunately, the mountain is not high, only about a hundred meters. The snow slid down, but the flames did not disappear. They turned into accumulated water and fell down.
As the flames disappeared, a large area of snow around them also disappeared, revealing the rock formations of the mountain below.
Only then did everyone see it.
There are actually only two peaks, and the middle one is actually a layer of ice rock that rises into the sky from the gap between the two peaks.
If you don't clear the large area of snow around, you won't be able to see what's going on inside.
The two spots of light should be under the iceberg.
Looking at the mountain that was about two or three hundred meters high, Alka couldn't help scratching his head.
I'm in trouble.
Walking forward, I couldn't help but knock on the ice in front of me, as if I was knocking on steel.
The hardness of this ice was a little beyond his imagination.
It would be a miracle if anyone else could get this treasure. Who would have thought that this treasure was in the middle of this iceberg?
If you want to get the treasure, you must open up this mountain.
I don't know if there is any road leading inside.
Jason, who was standing next to him, looked at Alka's actions and had a bad feeling.
"You don't mean to say that the treasure is in this iceberg?"
Alka smiled at Jason's words.
"You are so clever."
“…”
Listening to Alka's words, everyone couldn't help but look up at the mountain in front of them.
Although it is very small, although it is only a hundred meters, it cannot even be called a peak, it can only be called a hillside at most.
But if you want to open it up manually...
It shouldn't be easy.
Seeing everyone's sad expressions, Alka smiled and clapped his hands to divert everyone's attention.
"Okay, everyone, think of a way to get through this mountain so we can get inside."
"Burn it with fire?" Jason said after thinking for a while.
But looking at the height of the mountain, it seems that it is also quite wide, and they don’t know where the treasure is exactly in the mountain. It would be difficult to burn it with fire due to the hardness of the ice.
"Just dig and dig out a road." Porro waved his hand and went straight to the ice rock and punched it.
He smashed a dent in the solid ice rock, sending broken ice flying everywhere.
At this time, Xia Daiti came over, patted Porro, and signaled him to move aside.
Then he reached out and held onto the ice.
"Don't worry, let me take a look at the structure here first, what if there is a road?"
After she finished speaking, silver ripples spread out along her hand and quickly spread into the distance.
After a long while, Xia Daiti finally opened his eyes.
“There must have been a road between these two peaks, and there was a pothole underneath.
But the roads between the peaks and the potholes below were filled with ice.”
The pit below should be the ruins with ancient guards.
"That pit should be our target."
Alka said directly beside him.
Hearing Alka's words, Xia Daiti nodded.
The silver ripples spread out again.
This time she had to find a place that was easier to get through and think about which position would save time and effort.
