Chapter 167 Objects in the Lava
Thick frost once again covered the puppet.
This is a higher level trial, more flexible and intelligent.
The only problem is that it still cannot perfectly fit Lucelia, and the comfort level inside is not as good as that of a doll.
If it doesn't fit Lucelia perfectly, then the puppet is of little use.
The time is still short now. Once a person stays in this incompatible soul body for seven, eight or even ten years, problems will surely gradually arise in the soul.
So this is just a prototype, not the first finished product, and Alka is still being improved.
The puppet, holding the mirror, jumped directly from Alka's hand and fell into the lava again.
The doll that fell into the lava immediately used the only magic power in its body to activate the mirror in its hand, and silver ripples spread around.
The range of diffusion is extremely limited, only a radius of 10 meters.
But its advantage is that the scanning is extremely accurate and can penetrate more energy objects.
For example, magma.
The silver ripples of Xiadaiti will be greatly weakened when passing through the magma during reconnaissance, making it almost difficult to detect anything in the magma.
Otherwise, their actions would be easier.
Unless Xia Daiti uses more streamlined and accurate small-range reconnaissance ripples.
As the ripples spread, after about 15 seconds, the puppet's ice coating melted and it dissolved into the magma.
The ripples did not sweep up any objects in the magma.
Once again Alka took out a puppet from the ring and once again gave him a mirror.
As the frost covered it, he jumped down again.
Repeat the previous operation.
This time, the location where they left the puppets changed, trying to cover a farther, undetected area.
As the ripples spread, Alka closed his eyes.
Something unusual appeared in my mind, an object that would never appear in magma.
It should be a rectangular object with a side length of one meter and a width of about 0.5 meters.
This shape appears to be a box.
This thing was floating in the magma and did not change due to the movement of the magma.
This thing must be a treasure.
"Found it. It's a rectangular box in the lava."
As he spoke, a card appeared in Alka's hand. It flew down and landed precisely above the location of the box, and then the card disappeared immediately.
But everyone already knows where the box is.
"Now that we've found it, how do we get it out?"
The problem is back to the original point.
Who can enter the magma and take that thing out? Let’s not talk about how to enter the magma, let’s just say how to get out of the magma after getting it?
This is a difficult problem to solve.
The height from here to the magma below is at least 20 to 30 meters, maybe even more.
It can't fly, and there is no place to stay nearby.
They just found the treasure, but how to get the treasure is the most important and difficult part.
"This is indeed a problem, but I plan to cover my fake body with frost and carry the box up. It's just a chance of death, but it's worth it."
"Now I just have to think about how to get that box and myself up here."
Alka planned to use his precision hands to make a steel rope that was heat-resistant enough to drag the box up.
There is no need for it to enter the magma, it just needs to prevent the rope from being melted by the temperature in the air above the magma.
This is relatively easy to do.
Alka told a few people his idea.
Several people nodded in agreement. This was indeed the only solution they could think of.
And only Alka can do it, no one else has the ability to do it.
"Okay, it's decided then. Let's go back to the ship first. It will take some time to make this thing. Let's come back tomorrow."
Alka suggested to everyone as he saw that it was getting dark.
No one had any objection to this.
There's no rush.
Then they walked down the volcano and returned the same way.
It wasn't long before we were back on the boat.
"Why did you come back so soon? How was it? Did you get it?"
Jason shook his head and began to narrate to Pororo the simple experience they had just had.
The others also started communicating on the deck.
Alka went directly into the cabin below and began to make the steel cables.
Start melting the metal to make high-temperature resistant materials. Fortunately, this kind of high-temperature resistant material is not difficult to purchase in this sea area.
When entering this sea area, Alka thought that it might be needed, so he specially prepared some.
The precision hands covering the hands began to operate.
The sun sets over the sea, the curtain covers it, and the crescent moon rises.
By the evening, Alka had finally made enough steel cables, which he wound into a circle and carried to the deck.
I found that there was no one on the deck, and it seemed that there was no one on the ship.
Seeing the fire on the shore and the sound of some people talking, Alka looked over.
I saw Xia Daiti waving at me, asking me to come over quickly.
Looking at the skewers of meat and various foods next to the fire, it seems that they are preparing for a barbecue dinner.
Very good.
Alka smiled in the direction of Xiadaiti, carried the steel cable in his hand into the captain's room, put it away and then ran over.
When he arrived, the grilled food was already prepared at his seat and he just picked it up and ate it.
I am indeed a little hungry.
Eating the kebabs in his hand, Alka couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
Who would have thought that the best food they made would be this kind of kebab.
It is simple and direct, without much technical content, and all you need is enough raw materials and seasonings.
And it’s Porro’s craftsmanship.
Among the members of Burning, except Julia and Lucelia, all of them know a little bit about cooking.
But this cooking skill can only be described as a little bit.
Surprisingly, the best among them was Jason, because he was forced to learn it when he was between 12 and 14 years old and had to cook for himself.
So you can't expect his cooking skills to be very good, but it's delicious.
What Xia Dai said... can't kill people.
As for Alkata, although he knows how to cook, you can't expect a modern person to be able to use his cooking skills after traveling through time to a place that resembles the Middle Ages.
Not to mention that many of the ways vegetables and meats are prepared have changed, as have the various seasonings.
The quality of Alka's cooking depends on how many ingredients he gets that are related to his past life or have a certain connection with it.
The good ones can be called delicious, the bad ones can be called poison.
Because some seasonings can enhance the flavor if you add a little bit, but if you add too much, it will somehow become very unpalatable.
How could there be such a thing? It had to be put in such precise amounts, and there were all sorts of ingredients that would taste terrible when combined together, which drove him crazy.
As for Porro, he is an expert at making deep-sea sashimi. He can always accurately find those fish that are very suitable for making sashimi.
And good grilling skills.
But that’s all. We can’t have barbecue and raw fish every meal on the boat.
Eating the skewers in his hand, Alka's need for the chef became more urgent.
"Look! A shooting star!"
At this moment, a star streaked across the night sky.
The sharp-eyed Lucelia said immediately.
"Quick, make a wish!"
Hearing this voice, the others also became more leisurely and made some small wishes casually.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Alka thought casually: "I hope I can find a chef who is suitable for our team and has excellent cooking skills!"
However, I didn't expect that in this world there is a convention that making a wish after seeing a shooting star is easier to come true.
It seems that every world has some similarities. Maybe this is human beings?
A little episode adds more color to tonight's barbecue party.
When everyone was halfway through their meal, they started chatting.
Pororo suddenly raised his hand and pressed down. The others noticed and immediately slowed down their voices, but did not shut up immediately.
Instead, they communicated slowly, but their eyes were moving around, conveying information.
Porro's ears twitched slightly, and he said lightly: "Someone is coming."
After hearing this, they stopped pretending and immediately looked vigilantly towards the darkness nearby.
With the moonlight behind them, they saw a man staggering towards them not far away.
The whole person's movement as he walked over was shaky and seemed very reluctant.
As they got closer, they finally saw his appearance.
It can only be described as miserable.
This is a man who looks thin but is about 1.8 meters tall.
His face was covered with dust, making his beard black, but his head was bald and shiny.
He just looked very weak, and was obviously abnormally thin.
The clothes were tattered and had burnt marks on the corners.
From these angles, you can also see some of the wounds on his body, some of which have begun to become inflamed and festered.
He looked at Alka and the others with his bloodshot eyes, his nose twitching constantly.
"Finally found someone. Can you give me some food and water? I feel like I'm about to die."
Xia Daiti shook his head slightly towards everyone.
Jason next to him immediately took two steps forward and helped him over.
He picked up his water bag and handed it to him.
The bamboo-pole-like man picked up the water bag and started drinking it with gulps. He didn't let out a long breath until the bag was completely empty.
It seems that he finally came alive.
"You seem to have not eaten for a long time? If you eat these skewers directly, it might be a problem."
Jason said from the side that as a member of the treasure hunting team, some simple medical knowledge is of course necessary.
Especially emergency rescue measures.
The man waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have a special physique and will not be affected."
Hearing this, Jason didn't force it.
He picked up the grilled skewers and handed them to the man in front of him.
He picked up the skewer and bit off a few pieces, chewing quickly.
He said aloud, "It's a little overcooked, the flames are too strong, the seasoning is uneven, and the meat is not cut well."
"But I'm so hungry, it's okay to eat."
Hearing what the man said, everyone around him was stunned.
What is he talking about?
Alka felt that if he heard correctly, the man seemed to be commenting on the barbecue they gave.
This is somewhat inappropriate. I wonder if it is because hunger has clouded my mind and made me a little confused.
Alka felt that a normal person would not do such a thing.
The man seemed to realize that his words were wrong, and quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, my occupational disease has come on."
"Occupational disease? What do you do? Taster?" Jason next to him couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
The man took a few more bites of meat, and after he seemed to have finally regained some strength, he shook his head and said, "Of course not, I'm a chef who travels around."
“Cough, cough, cough… cough.”
When Alka on the opposite side heard this, he choked on the water he had just drunk and started coughing madly before he could swallow it.
Seeing everyone turning their gazes towards him, he waved his hand.
"Sorry, I choked. Please continue."
What's going on? I just made a wish and it came true?
Alka was somewhat confused, as the traveling chef somewhat met the requirements of the wish he had just made.
This made it difficult for him not to think in this direction.
Just as I said, God...I mean, is the Virgin Mary so real?
He decided to hear more about the man's background.
Jason and the others have already asked about it. Although they have confirmed that it is not too dangerous, they still need to ask about these things that are necessary to know.
The man did not feel offended by their questions and answered them openly.
"I'm Juanlu Camporec, you can just call me Juanlu. I'm a chef, and I'm traveling on the sea, learning different cooking skills and looking for some rare ingredients."
"A week ago, our ship was sunk by a sea monster in the waters around here. I floated here holding a large plank, but you can see that this island is too desolate and very hot."
"If I wasn't a toucher, I would probably die of thirst here."
At this point, he looked at a few people, and then said: "You know the Touchers, right? I feel magic in you."
Everyone nodded and did not hide anything about it. There was nothing to hide.
"Thank God , I smelled the aroma of barbecue in the air when I was about to faint, and I forced myself to come here."
He crossed his arms over his chest and said, "May the Virgin Mary bless you."
In the Home Sea, in this area controlled by the Virgin Mary, almost 95% of intelligent creatures have some faith in the Virgin Mary.
It's just that the depth of faith is different.
This does not prevent them from praising the Virgin Mary when necessary.
Just like Alka used to say God bless you.
But if you really want to say that he has any faith in God, that's not necessarily the case.
Same concept.
After understanding the situation, everyone nodded and somewhat let down their guard towards the very miserable chef in front of them.
After all, he is really weak now, and his strength is probably only at the level of a spiral.
It's hard to pose any threat to them.
"If possible, can you take me to a safe island? I will pay you enough for that."
Alka waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. When we are done, we will take you to a safe place. Don't worry."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."
This escape from a desperate situation made him very grateful to Alka and others. Now that he could finally relax, he also felt tired.
It looked like everyone had almost finished eating.
Alka shook his head at Jason.
Jason nodded, helped Juanlu up and said, "You are very weak now. Go to our ship and rest for a while. There are some medicines on the ship to help you treat the wounds on your body."
Juanlu nodded and did not reject his kindness. He really needed a place to have a good rest now, and the wounds on his body really needed to be treated quickly, otherwise his body would be in danger.
After watching Jason send Juanlu to the boat, everyone started to communicate.
"When we were checking around the island at noon, we did see some relatively fresh ship wreckage." Xia Daiti said, confirming Juanlu's origins.
"A Toucher chef who likes to travel around..." Alka muttered, rubbing his chin.
Hearing Alka's mumbling, several people turned their heads and looked at him involuntarily.
Xiadaiti looked at Alka's thoughtful expression, thought for a moment and said, "You don't want to... invite him to join us, do you?"
She asked somewhat uncertainly.
Alka nodded slightly and explained, "You know what? When the meteor streaked across the sky just now, I made a wish to find a suitable chef to go to the Infinite Ocean with us."
"What a coincidence?" Porro couldn't help but say in surprise.
If what Alka said was true, then this was indeed a coincidence.
"Maybe this is fate. Destiny always brings us together."
As Julia spoke, she couldn't help but think of her encounter with Alka and the others, who were originally sealed in a huge crystal.
Because the undead around him were judged to be unsafe, he had not freed himself.
But he judged that Alka and the others who had no ill intentions were safe, and he was finally able to see the light of day again.
Fortunately, at that time, Lucilia was in Alka's team, otherwise it would be hard to say what would have happened.
This is also a kind of fate, a meeting of destiny.
Hearing what everyone said, Alka smiled helplessly and waved his hand.
"It's just a coincidence. Besides, although I think so, it's just a thought. I don't know if he is suitable or not, not to mention that he may not be willing."
It is too early to think about these things now, and it is a bit too self-righteous.
It was just that he had just met someone else, and it was just a coincidence that made Alka think in this direction involuntarily.
As to whether it is really suitable, we will have to wait and see .
After chatting for a while, Alka clapped his hands and said, "Okay everyone, let's go back too. We have important work tomorrow."
