Chapter 178: Going to the Gate to the Outside World
The moment the treasure appeared, energy fluctuations were emitted.
Then everyone present was attracted by the transparent crystal ball with pink mist that Alka took out.
Looking at the people in front of him.
"Touch it, and you will both gain magical powers and know that I am safe, and I will know that you are safe as well."
Because they have occupied the quota for this treasure.
Listen to Alka's words.
Boka's eyes turned shocked and he looked up at Alka as if he was getting to know him all over again.
I couldn't help but say, "You have really achieved a lot out there. Now I am more or less relieved."
Listening to Uncle Boca's words, Alka smiled and nodded.
"If I don't have some ability, how can I dare to go out?"
Watching the two people's charades, Aunt Marcy was somewhat dissatisfied and felt like she was being left out.
"Okay, everyone, put your hands over here and touch it."
Then he looked up at Jenna and nodded to her.
Aunt Marcy and her family reached out their hands and touched the crystal ball at the same time.
This was the first time Alka performed a touching ceremony for someone else.
The last time I touched upon it, I was still using the perspective of a person who experienced it personally. Now, from the perspective of an outsider, I can see it more clearly.
Pink mist spread out from the crystal, and then poured into the bodies of several people. Just a small amount of pink mist activated the magic power in everyone's body.
One can clearly feel the magic power starting to boil in their bodies, and the fluctuations emanating from them are very obvious.
I watched them close their eyes, and after about half an hour they opened their eyes. Did it take so long to touch? I couldn't help but think of myself. When I touched someone before, it seemed like only a short while had passed.
"There's something inside my body?" Sigurd said to Alka after opening his eyes.
Alka nodded, looked at the slightly confused eyes of the people in front of him and began to explain.
Including what magic is, why there are changes now, the circuit of magic, and what benefits possessing magic can bring to them.
As well as some basic knowledge such as the so-called spells, the true situation of this world, the extraordinary world, etc.
Alka spoke slowly to everyone like a mentor.
Since it is all basic information, it is not difficult to understand. In fact, for the residents of their home island, this situation is not unfamiliar.
With just some explanations from Alka, they were able to reconcile well with some of the things they had experienced.
For example, the priests on the island, large-scale ceremonies during festivals, and some gifts.
These are things that island residents experience.
When they heard that they would be healthier, less prone to illness, and stronger, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
For them, strange spells and the like are not easy to understand, but they like things like good health very much.
It's exactly what they need.
"Although simply making you touchers won't make you any stronger, at least you have the ability to protect yourself."
This can be considered as Alka's way of thanking Aunt Marcy and her family, not only for himself but also for the original body.
After telling them various important matters, Alka had several thick books and some pamphlets with annotations in his hands.
Handed them all.
"These are more detailed information about the extraordinary world. It's always a good idea to learn more about them."
Then an unlit oil lamp appeared in his hand and was also placed on the table.
"Once this oil lamp is lit, its light can stabilize your circuits. In this situation, meditation can speed up the process and increase your strength even faster."
This oil lamp was one of the gains from Alka's treasure hunt. It was of little use to him, but it was much more useful to Aunt Marcy and her family.
After all, Alka's meditation method can stabilize the circuit more powerfully, allowing meditation to proceed quickly.
It is many times more powerful than this oil lamp.
Seeing Aunt Marcy about to refuse, Alka said quickly, "Don't refuse. This thing is of no use to me. Feel free to use it."
Then there were some simple exchanges, with Alka answering some questions.
As for meditation, Farka was not going to tell them.
Because the Archbishop said, don't spread this method.
In the Home Sea, this kind of meditation would not bring much benefit.
Unless you want to leave here.
"Then I'll leave first."
After saying that, Alka said goodbye to everyone and returned to his own small courtyard next door. He looked at the spotless room, lay on the wooden bed that used to be in the room, and stared at the ceiling.
Fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
Alka woke up early and followed the path to the center of the island.
Looking at the two adjacent tombstones in the cemetery.
There were also some sacrificial items on top, which had obviously only been there a few weeks.
It should be Aunt Marcy and her family who have been here before.
After saying a few words in front of the tomb and performing a simple sacrifice, Alka returned to the port.
Leave on the Feiyan.
Sigurd's farewell voice was heard behind him.
…
A month has passed since Alka said goodbye to Aunt Marcy and her family.
After detection by the church, the exact time of the intersection has been completely observed and predicted.
Later than expected.
There are still two and a half months left until the day of intersection.
At this time, the Voice of Dawn was still docked at the cathedral.
"Are you ready? Is there anything else you haven't prepared?"
Alka asked as she sat at the head of the round table in the captain's cabin.
At this time, there were many maps and materials in front of him, and a huge map of the home island was pasted behind him.
Hearing Alka's words, Xiadaiti took out a list.
Start by comparing the list with Jason one by one.
On the ship, Xia Daiti was mainly responsible for the summary and calculation of materials and the control of public funds.
He is considered Alka's first mate.
"Materials and tools for ship repairs?"
"I'm ready."
"Enough tools for the gun maintenance and some ammunition?"
"no problem."
"Food, water, and medical supplies?"
“…”
The two of them began to compare them one by one to make sure they had not missed anything.
The destination they are heading to this time is unknown, so of course they have to make adequate preparations.
And the only thing they had as a guide was the book "Dreamland".
But the problem is that many parts of this book have not been described. After all, the total number of words in this book is only about 100,000, which is too few.
From the protagonist's perspective, the novel describes a bizarre and vague world.
You can tell from the beginning of the book, I don’t know if it was intentional by the author or because he really wrote such rubbish.
From the very beginning, they had already reached the Infinite Ocean, but Alka and his companions still had to go through a long route to get there.
I have no idea what I will encounter during this period.
And even if they reach the vast ocean, they won't know much.
Because in this book the author obviously conceals his shortcomings, as if he is narrating his story from the perspective of an observer.
A lot of information was not expressed at all, or even glossed over.
What is mostly there are descriptions of the local landscape and some harsh environments, as well as some of their strange experiences.
A lot of useful information requires them to unravel, analyze and guess on their own.
Without actually reaching that place, we don’t know whether a lot of information is useful or not.
But there is no other way, they can only use this book as a guide, at least they are not truly ignorant.
The place where they are is the beginning of the entire C-type world. They have to go around a semicircle to reach the real entrance of the Infinite Ocean.
During this period, you have to pass through the gates of all the worlds. It's such a long sea route, and who knows what you will encounter. Who knows if there are any places to get supplies.
Therefore, there must be no mistakes with these most common materials. They have checked them several times, and Alka and the others will also cross-check them.
This is to ensure that these supplies are not missed.
"Where are the energy stones? Have they been replenished?"
"It's been replenished. We almost spent all our savings on this thing."
Among the many supplies, quite a few are spell materials. In addition to the materials needed by each individual, there are also many materials needed by the team, including energy stones.
For an ordinary spell ship or a low-level spell ship, the [Magic Gathering] spell on the ship is enough to solve the problem.
But for Alka and his ship, energy stones are essential, as they are the energy needed in certain emergencies.
It is also where they spend the most money.
They had specially sailed to the place of origin to purchase this energy stone, ensuring that they could use the energy to allow the Sound of Dawn to sail on the sea with a full load for more than a year even in a magic-free environment.
In Bobby's words, maybe Alka and the others were being too cautious, but Alka naturally didn't think so.
"That's it. There's nothing left out. We can start sailing."
Hearing what Xiadaiti said, Alka nodded.
Then everyone left the captain's room and came to the deck.
At this time, Bobby, Andre and Vanessa were waiting for them on the deck.
Everyone walked up to them and hugged them goodbye one by one.
When Alka and Andrei hugged each other gently, he heard Andrei say in his ear.
"You little brat, protect my daughter, or I will ask the Virgin Mary to punish you."
Hearing Andre's words, Alka nodded helplessly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely take better care of him than you do. And with your level of faith, the Virgin Mary may even punish you in return."
"What did you say? You little brat, wait till I become a cardinal..."
"Yes, yes, don't worry." Alka interrupted him and said with a smile.
Andre joined the church entirely because of Xia Daiti's mother, and it was also because of Xia Daiti's mother that Andre became the leader of the church's secret treasure hunting team.
Although Andrew remained in the church after his mother Xia Deti passed away, you have to wonder how deep his faith in the Virgin Mary is.
It is certainly not as good as a real bishop, but the church is a more pragmatic one and does not require high faith from some people.
It is not necessary to be a fanatic or something, just a little belief is enough, as long as the principles of action are in line with the doctrine.
Andre belongs to this category.
This also demonstrates the generosity and openness of Our Lady’s Church.
Pay attention to the unity of knowledge and action.
You can't have faith alone, nor can you have no faith.
Otherwise, someone like Alka would be the kind of person who would be struck by lightning in other churches, instead of being the focus of training in the church as it is now.
Although it is in secret.
Then Xia Daiti was pulled aside by his father and said something.
Vanessa was also talking to them.
In fact, Vanessa and Andre are almost a couple now, the only thing missing is a procedure.
Alka had asked before.
Andre was not planning to get married again, so the two of them continued to live in this unclear relationship.
As for how long he can last, Alka remains skeptical.
After saying goodbye, the three of them left the deck and stood at the port, waving goodbye to them.
Looking at the port getting farther and farther away from them.
Alka turned around and stood on the deck.
He stretched out his hand and waved gently.
The sails dropped automatically, and the largest piece of canvas in the middle of the mainmast had already been dyed blue, with a huge emblem printed on it.
It is the icon of their treasure hunting team.
Golden eyes within a silver compass.
A melodious ocean song sounded in the wind. This cheerful and inspiring piece of music was composed by Julia.
Julia, who loved music during this time, and this former musical ship were a match made in heaven.
They could often be heard playing music together, so much so that one of the rooms on the ship was turned into a dedicated music room.
As the song started, Julia turned around a few times and began to sing uncontrollably.
Alka came to the bow and controlled the entire ship to start sailing at full speed.
"set sail!"
…
There are still more than two and a half months until the meeting date.
They sailed for a month and a half and finally arrived at the gate to leave their home sea.
The gate is located at the southernmost end of the Home Sea, in the middle area of the south on the map.
The sea conditions here are among the worst in the entire sea area, which is why few people live here.
"It's raining again."
Alka, standing in the observation room on top of the main mast, couldn't help but speak as he watched the raindrops falling.
The entire lookout room is semicircular in shape and is covered on the main mast. The entire semicircular ring area close to the floor is made of transparent hard glass.
And it is a one-way mirror, so you can only see outside from the inside, but people outside cannot see what is inside.
Alka has no idea how the craftsman made this kind of thing. Is the skill tree too crooked?
This also perfectly meets the observation needs of the watchtower.
There was thunder rumbling all around and raindrops kept hitting the glass, making crisp sounds.
The entire sea area became dark, and the huge wind and waves caused the sound of dawn to rise and fall on the sea.
This also made them feel unusually obvious on the boat.
Alka unfolded the map in his hand and looked.
According to predictions, the gate should be not far ahead.
But the heavy rain completely blocked their vision, and the visible distance around them was no more than 100 meters.
At this moment, the door leading to the observation room suddenly opened, and Xia Daiti walked in with Lucelia sitting on his shoulders.
"Arka, I'll take over from you, you go down and rest."
Seeing the two people coming, Alka smiled and then said, "Don't worry, I just happened to catch a strange animal a few days ago. I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, a mirror mask appeared on Alka's face.
A strange creature that looked like a frog but also like a crocodile emerged from the mirror.
The most striking thing about this creature is its huge eyes, which is why it is said to look like a frog.
As the creature emerged, the mirror mask changed, and Alka's head itself became the creature's head.
The long kissing mouth had sharp teeth on it, and the two huge eyes on the tattooed mouth, and the long snake-like tongue stretched out and licked.
This creature is as strange as it can be. Alka has never seen its specific scientific name, but the strength of this monster is not bad. It has reached the first spiral and has magic power in its body.
After a while of imitation and learning, I found that the eyes of this creature are very powerful. It can see fish fry less than the size of a finger a kilometer away in the dim sea water.
It also enables it to see very far away in foggy or rainy weather.
After becoming proficient, Alka naturally retained the simulation of the animal's head.
Then he opened his huge eyes and looked out the window. His vision had already changed. The whole world became three-color, consisting of black, white and green.
This kind of vision allowed Alka to see through the surrounding raindrops and see clearly the situation in the distance.
The black island in the field of vision has appeared at the end of the field of vision. That is their destination.
Their route had not deviated, but from here Alka could already see that there seemed to be quite a few ships docked around the island.
After seeing it clearly, Alka exited the simulation and regained his consciousness.
At this time, Lucilia was already sitting on his shoulder. After seeing Alka recover, she couldn't help but say, "I think I can find something to do in the future. How about we work together to compile an illustrated book?"
