Chapter 172 Mission Delivery
Coming back to the Cathedral.
Alka looked at the black dot that appeared at the end of his vision and smiled as he stood on the bow.
"It's not easy. I finally came back this time."
"Yes, this time it has taken more than half a year, and there are only a few months left until the intersection."
Hearing this, Alka's face couldn't help but become a little excited.
"The music ship should be built soon. I can't wait any longer."
Everyone just looked at the black spot in the distance and chatted.
"Jason? Where's Jason?"
Alka suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly.
"Here I come!" Jason walked out of his room with an egg stuck on his back.
Everyone has gotten used to it.
This egg is attached to Jason almost all the time, and even before it hatches, he already feels like a nanny.
It seemed that Jason also obtained a lot of information about how to take care of the egg, and he often mixed some strange liquids to wipe the egg.
You could even see him sometimes sunbathing on top of the mainmast's lookout tower, with an egg on his head to soak up the sunlight.
Seeing Jason running out, Alka stared at him and looked him up and down: "Are you ready? Haven't you stabilized your strength at the triple helix yet?"
They were about to go ashore and start delivering goods, but in the past few days Jason had not yet fully stabilized his strength at the triple helix.
It seemed that the energy brought by the treasure box was indeed too weak, causing Alka to underestimate the improvement it brought.
Compared with normal treasures, it does have some gaps.
Even in such a basic function.
Hearing Alka's question, Jason made a gesture that it was all right and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it was completely stable yesterday."
Hearing this, Alka was relieved and nodded: "That's good."
Looking at the cathedral we are about to reach.
There were many ships coming and going around, most of them were pilgrims' ships.
Shadaiti came to Alka and nudged him slightly with his elbow.
Seeing Alka turning his gaze over, Xia Daiti shook his head and gestured to Juanlu who was looking forward at the bow.
"We're about to go ashore. When are you going to speak?"
Hearing this, Alka looked at Juanlu.
It's really time.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Juanlu, are you going to get off the boat here?"
Hearing Alka's words, Juanlu turned around and nodded.
"No problem. Just drop me off at the cathedral. I can get some supplies here and find a suitable ship."
"What do you think of our team?"
When Juanlu heard Alka's question, he didn't understand why he asked that question for a moment, but he still answered sincerely.
"Very powerful, really very powerful, together you are enough to form a large force."
What he meant was that it would be very easy to form a large force by combining the treasures controlled by Alka and others.
He had also never seen so many powerful people gathered together, and they were in a small team at that.
"So what do you think of treasure hunting? Do you think it's interesting?"
When Juanlu heard Erka's question, an expression of great interest appeared on his face.
"Of course, it's very interesting. If my dream wasn't to become a top chef, maybe I would become a treasure hunter."
Speaking of this, there was still a slight excitement on Juanlu's face.
After all, just half a month ago, they had just finished a small treasure hunt.
Of course, the small here only applies to Alka and the others.
Although only a blue treasure was found this time, he gained treasure worth 300 gold sails and a magic weapon.
Moreover, this treasure hunt is very interesting. It is hidden and has mechanisms.
It is a very typical treasure.
This also fully aroused Juanlu's interest in treasure hunting, especially when he also got a share of the treasure.
Although those dozens of golden sails were not much for Alka and his friends, they were a huge sum of money for Juanlu.
In fact, it can be considered a huge sum of money anywhere.
"You should have heard our previous conversation. There is a much wider world outside the Home Sea. The Home Sea we are in is just the tip of the iceberg of this world."
After hearing what Alca said, Juanlu's expression didn't change much, but he became panicked inside.
What's the point of telling him this now? Are you trying to silence him?
Juanlu had been sailing for such a long time and had not heard much about the outside world, but he learned a lot of details from Aka and the others.
This means that the information should be very confidential, but he told this stranger so openly.
It was hard for him not to think the worst.
Is it time for a showdown now?
"That's our goal. What do you think? Are you interested in the outside world?"
"ah?"
Juanlu was a little confused when he heard this, but since he had already said this, he seemed to be able to tell that Al and the others did not seem to want to silence him.
If he had heard correctly and had not over-understood, the group of people in front of him wanted to recruit him.
But why me? Juanlu couldn't understand, because his strength was only a spiral.
He used to think that his strength was okay, but compared with Alka and the others, it was naturally not enough.
Besides, I am already in my 30s and have no prospects for development.
Apart from his cooking skills, he has no other special skills to show off.
Even though his cooking skills are among the best in this sea area, they are still nothing compared to powerful people like Alka.
He could be considered a member of the extraordinary world, and he knew clearly how powerful the treasures and the triple spiral were to this sea area.
He is definitely one of the most powerful ones.
At least that's what Juanlu thought.
In this ocean world, what truly controls the world are power and authority.
Seeing Juanlu's expression, Alka smiled and said, "You heard it right. We are recruiting you. We want you to join our team and serve as the chef on the ship."
“But…but…”
When Alca really said that he wanted to recruit him, Juanlu didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Although he was happy that Alka and his team were willing to recruit him, which showed that he was very valuable, he had some concerns when he really joined.
Seeing the concern on Juanlu's face, Alka continued, "The old man when you were a child is most likely someone who returned from the outside world."
During this period of time, they had heard Juanlu talk about this matter in detail, and Alca felt that the old man was most likely one of the returnees.
That's why Juanlu, who has reached this age and has become one of the top chefs in Jiayuanhai, is still not as good as others.
Because that’s the limit.
According to the Virgin Mary's philosophy, in order to make this sea area safe enough, the overall strength of this sea area was deliberately suppressed.
There is no saying that cooking skills cannot be related to strength.
And Alka knew about it; he had seen it on the TV series "Dreamland".
There are indeed very strange creatures in the vast ocean, and even some unique delicacies.
"Join us to travel further across the vast ocean, hone your skills to the highest level, and trust me, you won't be disappointed."
As he spoke, a thick and he handed it to Juanlu in front of him.
Juanlu took the book handed to him by Alca and casually opened it to take a look.
I don't understand anything.
Seeing this, Alka took the book back awkwardly.
He forgot that Juanlu didn't understand the language of the white crocodile at all.
I could only explain simply, "This book records the experiences of the outside world. In the book, there are irresistible temptations for chefs, that is, all kinds of ingredients that have never been seen before, and peerless delicacies."
Looking at Juanlu's troubled face, Alca patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to answer me now. There are still about five months before we leave. You only need to give me an answer in the next month."
"We welcome you to join us."
Hearing Alka's words, Juanlu looked up at him and nodded.
"Thanks."
He was truly grateful for such respect from powerful people like Alka.
But he had never thought about this before, and didn't know how to decide for a moment. He knew too little about the outside world and many things.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I will stay in the cathedral for this month and think carefully about whether I am willing to join you and sail with you."
Because he had already known from some of Alka and the others' open conversations that it would not be easy to come back once he went out.
You have to think clearly.
Alka nodded.
Jason left, came up and patted Juanlu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If there is anything you don't know about the outside world, or if you want to know more about it, you can ask me."
After all, Jason had already learned the language of the white crocodile and finished reading the book.
Although I have not experienced the actual situation, there is no problem in theory.
Juanlu nodded and thanked him.
Looking at the cathedral that had appeared in front of them and the huge statue of the Virgin Mary in the middle of the island.
Alka turned around to look at Julia, who was not far away, and the box that was always at her feet.
"Julia, what's going on?"
Hearing Alka's words, Julia nodded: "No problem, I have tried my best to remove my magic power."
Hearing Julia's words, Alka nodded and said, "That's good."
After all, this treasure was once controlled by Julia, and there are traces of her control left in it.
There are generally three steps for a treasure that has been controlled by someone else to be controlled again.
First, the original owner cleans up the treasure and tries his best to take back his magic power. For the original owner, it is much easier to control his own magic power, so this process is not difficult.
However, there will still be some residues, but it does not affect.
The second is to wait for the treasure to automatically dispel the magic power in its body as time goes by. After a long time, it will naturally return to its original state.
The third is that the new owner cleans the treasure, clears out any remaining magic power from the original owner, and replaces it with his own magic power.
This process is somewhat troublesome and time-consuming, and is generally determined based on the capabilities of the original director.
For example, the bloody team flag in his hand still has some of Jack's magic left on it. Since Alka has not mastered it, he has never been able to remove it.
And I tried it later.
Julia and Jason are not suitable. Let's exchange the treasures later and then let them try.
See who is more suitable for it and give the treasure to them.
However, Julia's time mastering Frost Nova was not without gain. She successfully obtained a spell.
Because everyone knows that this treasure is to be given to the church, Julia will deliberately gain some understanding during the time she controls the treasure.
This was more suitable for her and successfully separated a part of the non-core chill.
[Frost Breath] allows Julia to use a chill similar to the chill produced by the translucent frost sword in her hand.
And with the help of treasures, it is easy to become proficient, and you can increase the power of the frost blade in your hand.
The ship slowly entered the berth.
Everyone finally returned to the cathedral after a long absence.
"You guys go to Bobby first, I'll go and deliver the mission."
Hearing Alka's words, everyone nodded.
Alka carried a box in one hand and walked directly to the center of the island.
The rest of the people, including Juanlu, went around to the other side and headed for Bobby's house.
It was not yet noon, and the streets were crowded with pilgrims. It took Alka a lot of effort to get around to the back of the cathedral.
When he came to the back.
He saw an old man in front of him looking at him with a smile, as if he had already expected his arrival and was waiting for him.
Alka looked at the archbishop in front of him and walked up with two boxes.
"Haha, today the holy light is shining brightly and the wheat ears are swaying. I was wondering if something good is going to happen."
Alka walked up, nodded to the archbishop and said, "Thank you for fulfilling your mission."
The archbishop smiled cheerfully, then waved to Alka and walked into the church.
Alka also followed him.
"I didn't expect you to actually succeed. That's amazing."
"No, you flatter me ."
"Don't be too modest, otherwise what will happen to those who can't beat you? Hahaha."
The two chatted and followed the archbishop into the church. Along the way, the church staff around them saluted them.
We arrived at a more private chapel.
After coming in, Alka placed the treasure chest containing the Frost Nova on the ground, then opened it, took out the treasure inside and handed it to the archbishop in front of him.
"This is the treasure you asked me to find. It was once carried by the former patriarch of the Frost Bloodline. It is a holy grail treasure, the Frost Nova."
After taking it, the Archbishop looked at the blue orb in his hand and the silver spiral base below.
Magic power with rich holy light flowed into the blue orb through his hand.
The Frost Star trembled twice and then stopped resisting, emitting a faint blue light as the magic power poured in.
Watching this scene, Alka narrowed his eyes slightly.
There was no rejection at all, but the shaking of the treasure just now was a very obvious manifestation of rejection, but it was immediately suppressed.
Although Alka had never seen such a situation, it might be related to something he knew.
The archbishop possessed a treasure of a higher level than the Holy Grail, and Frost Nova, who was at the Holy Grail level, surrendered.
The surrounding environment fell into cold.
The archbishop nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his magic power, put the treasure in his hand into the treasure chest brought by Alka, and closed it again.
"Very good, no problem."
Then the Archbishop looked at Alka and said, "You know what? This treasure is not that important to the church.
The reason why it took so long to find it is because its negative effects affected the Arctic Triangle."
"Do you know what that area was called 800 years ago?"
"What's the name?" Alka really didn't know.
"The three prosperous islands are the most important candidates for home."
Having said this, the archbishop shut up.
"Candidate for Homeland?"
Could this be referring to Home Island?
Home Island is just a general term and does not refer to a specific island.
In the entire Home Sea, there are about 6 Home Islands that Alka knows of.
Its characteristic is that they all have very special food production, which comes from the gift of the Virgin Mary.
For example, the golden wheat from Golden Wheat Island is a very delicious and relatively expensive grain.
Every home island has plants similar to this one. It is said that this is proof that they have become home islands and is a gift from the Virgin Mary.
Apart from these home islands, such crops cannot be found anywhere else.
Does candidate mean possible promotion? Promotion to become the new home island.
In response to Alka’s question, the Archbishop directly answered: “The three islands in that area have been blessed by the Virgin Mary many times, because those three islands have produced several famous church members who have made certain contributions to the church and the Virgin Mary.”
“But because of the treasure, these three islands were affected at once, which made some members of the church very dissatisfied.
They feel that it would be a blasphemy to the Virgin Mary if the three islands are not restored one day.”
"Restoring it to its original environment is the main purpose of our search for this treasure."
After hearing the archbishop's explanation, Alka nodded.
It was similar to a coincidence that the three candidate home islands were relatively close to each other, and as a result, all three were affected by the same treasure.
This has somewhat affected the reputation within the church. As for the outside world, no one knew that these three islands would be candidates for the home island until they became the home island.
After all, there are so many islands that believe in the Virgin Mary.
"Well, now that your mission is accomplished, I will also fulfill the promise I made."
After saying this, the archbishop smiled, and a transparent light appeared on his hand, causing the surrounding air to slightly distort.
A distorted space appeared in his hand, and objects in the space began to emerge.
