Chapter 204: Golden Light on the Map
There were dim lights on the deck of the Dawn's Voice.
In the restaurant on the stern deck, the light began to brighten, and the voices of people talking could be heard from inside.
Also emanating from it is an extremely tempting aroma.
This dinner is all about replenishing energy and restoring spirits.
After eating, Jason went on patrol in the first half of the night.
Due to tomorrow's exploration, tonight's shift was temporarily changed to 3 shifts to allow everyone to get enough rest.
Alka also did not sleep and came to the workshop where Xiadaiti was drawing maps.
It is in a room on the 3rd floor of the last building, a small room on the side of Xia Daiti, which can be entered from the outside and from her room.
Alka sat on the stool next to them, chatting quietly with Lucelia.
Er also sat next to them, swinging his legs and looking at Alka with a smile.
Alka turned her head from time to time to look in the direction of Xiadaiti, blinking at the progress of the map in front of her.
Finally, when he looked over for the third time, a simple outline of the map had been drawn on it, and as he blinked his eyes, a dazzling golden light appeared.
Oh fuck, golden light!
Alka couldn't help but swear in his heart, and his expression changed immediately. Then he quickly calmed himself down and took two quick breaths.
"What's wrong?" Lucilia, who was chatting with him next to him, looked at his agitated expression and asked curiously.
"It's okay." Alka had already controlled his expression and said nonchalantly, "I saw that the outline of the map seemed to have been drawn."
In addition to the golden light, Alka also saw three blue dots and two white dots.
There are a total of 6 treasure locations, all gathered in the center of the island, which is where they saw the two ships crash before.
Sure enough, the crash of the two ships left behind a lot of treasures.
Could it be that everyone on the ship died?
No, at least there is still one person alive. The problem is that no one knows where that living person is now.
The locations of these treasures still exist, including that treasure, which means that they have not been controlled by others.
And what made Alka wonder was how that person survived.
The time of the crash of the two ships has been assessed to be around 10 years ago.
For ten whole years, the man did not leave and stayed on the island, without any food around to fill his stomach.
We can't always rely on the supplies left on those two ships. Everything will break down in 10 years.
Not to mention the fish in the surrounding waters, which are extremely scarce. It is a pipe dream to want to survive on fish.
And they just found no signs of human activity.
Alka was already wondering if the man was still alive, if he was a ghost who had preserved his soul and wisdom.
This possibility is extremely high. After all, even in an area like the Home Sea where the magic power is not high, it is not uncommon for souls to stay after death and be unwilling to leave.
Even in a ghost place like the Dark Realm, one can still retain the strength he had in life and continue to exist. He doesn't even need a body, only a soul.
On this island, a high-magic area like this, it is very possible to become an undead after death if one has strong enough willpower to control one's soul and will.
Moreover, when they were exploring the island today, they made quite a lot of noise. If that person was able to move freely, it is impossible that he would not have heard it.
It is also unlikely that you will not engage with them.
Alka felt that the living person might be in a strange state, and he should be prepared that he was dead.
However, Alka, who had discovered that there was a treasure on this island, could no longer hide the smile on his face.
He calmed himself down, chatted with Lucilia in a good mood, and waited quietly for Xia Daiti to complete the map.
Don't be in a hurry and check it out immediately.
When it comes to map making, Alka still respects Xia Daiti very much. He will only take over and use it if she makes the map perfectly to her satisfaction.
After a long time, the bright moon was already high in the sky outside.
Xia Daiti stood up from the stool and stretched vigorously.
"Well...it's already done. Take it and have a look."
Hearing this, Alka couldn't wait to stand up from the stool, walked over quickly, and took the map off the wooden shelf.
The map has been treated for protection, the paint on it has long been dried and a protective layer has been applied.
Xia Daiti has a set of quick processing techniques.
Looking at the map, the island looked just like what they saw, similar to an irregular oval.
The two ships were located in the center of the island, a little above it.
Alka blinked, and the first thing that came into view was the blinding golden beam of light.
The golden spots are much more eye-catching than blue and white .
Alka picked up the map and went to the table next to him, examining it on his own.
Xia Daiti took his place and chatted with Lucilia and Er.
It was Alka's working time and no one would disturb him.
He stretched out his hand and brushed it across the map, clicking on the golden spot of light.
【Hidden Treasure】
[Difficulty: Combat Team (Six Spirals)]
【Popularity: 3659】
[Treasure Information: None]
The first is the difficulty, with the appearance of plural words such as combat team.
This situation indicates that the number of enemies is large, which is consistent with what they observed during the day today.
The difficulty has reached six spirals, which means that the difficulty of the strongest enemy is six spirals. Fortunately, it is within their acceptable range.
Alka was afraid that the difficulty would exceed their acceptable range, and if so, they would have to give up this treasure.
After all, compared to treasures, life is more important.
To him, the treasure is not worth exchanging his life or even serious injury. It is not worth it to him.
Since the difficulty is within an acceptable range, I must go there tomorrow.
This popularity is a bit strange.
Generally speaking, treasures are not well known, considering that the two ships crashed only about 10 years ago.
And in such a place.
It is very likely that this is the treasure carried by the people who came out of the Ocean of Confusion 10 years ago.
After all, most people who are willing to leave the sea where they live and go to the vast ocean have a treasure in their hands.
For example, there are more than twenty teams in their group, and there are 5 teams that are known to possess treasures.
Not to mention there are unknown teams like them that are hiding themselves.
The possession rate of such treasures is already very high.
Maybe, like the previous team like Burning Blood Hand, it is a team that is equally well-known in the Sea of Confusion.
That’s why it has such popularity.
Alka clicked on the adjacent blue and white dots. The difficulty was the same, all of them were the Holy Light Team, but the strongest enemies were in the range of five to four spirals.
This means that the six-spiral enemy only exists next to the treasure. If you leave the range of the treasure, you will most likely not encounter it.
But no matter what, these difficulties are within their acceptable range.
With a total of 6 treasure locations, their harvest on this trip was definitely enough.
Looking at the map, Alka's expression has become somewhat excited, and he can't wait for tomorrow to come.
" How's it going, Alka? Did you find any useful information?"
Xia Dai asked.
If an ordinary person could find some inexplicable information from a newly drawn map, it would just seem like a joke.
But Alka's sense of treasure can do it, and everyone has gotten used to it.
After all, we are teammates on the same ship, and some things cannot be hidden. It is enough to hide the most core things and package the information that needs to be revealed.
"It's dangerous but not fatal. You should get very good rewards. Be prepared." Alka said with a smile.
"By the way, remember to prepare the offensive means of Holy Light. After all, the zombies we encountered today are still considered undead."
After saying that, Alka waved goodbye to the few people.
"You guys should get some rest too. I'm going to go down first. I'll take the map with me."
Alka waved the map, opened the door and left.
Only two puppet girls and Xia Daiti were left in the room.
"It's a very good harvest. I'm a little looking forward to it." Xia Daiti said with a smile.
Lucelia also nodded.
It was a very good harvest for Alka, and it was definitely a treasure worth rejoicing about.
"Alka is so handsome!" Er said suddenly, his eyes still fixed on the door.
This sudden remark made Lucilia and Xiadaiti turn their eyes to her.
Then the two of them exchanged glances.
They nodded at the same time, Xia Daiti lifted Er's collar, and walked into the room together.
Alka, who left the room, told everyone some information that needed to be prepared.
Then he quickly sank into a dream.
He quickly flew out of his own dream bubble, walked around everyone's dream bubbles, and cleaned up some ungrateful dream creatures.
Today he did not enter Lucelia's dream, nor did he wake her up.
After all, Lucelia’s dream bubble has not emerged yet.
Tomorrow's exploration would require everyone to have a good rest, and he was going to quickly resolve some things in his dream and take a rest.
The most important thing is to find out whether you can meet the dream bubble of the person who is alive on the island again tonight.
The cloud ring used for reconnaissance last time was constructed on the spot to assist him in reconnaissance.
I hope that person is sleeping now.
The ripples only spread outward once before immediately rebounding.
This means that the dream bubble is very close to him. I hope it is not the dream of some small animal.
They didn't seem to see any small animals this morning.
While thinking, Alka was already flying quickly in the direction of the rebound. After passing through a colorful mist, he saw a large dream bubble not far away.
The appearance is still as dull and lusterless as it was last night, and there are several cracks on it.
Fly in gently.
This time his dream changed.
It is no longer a small island like before, but a steel ship staying on the ocean.
This steel ship is more than 50 meters long. Excluding the bow and stern structures, it only has the command room and observation tower in the middle.
The structure of the gun deck was still retained below, and the muzzles on it were ferociously large and much larger than those on their ship.
However, this steel ship still retains its sails, and the sail is huge with a black steel arm on it, with five fingers spread out and a white cross emblem in the middle.
This pattern should be the team logo of this ship, and the flag on the top also has the logo of the Holy Machine Church.
This means that this is a team under a certain church, and it is still in the open.
The most eye-catching feature of this ship is the circular nozzle at the tail.
From this vent, Alka could be completely sure that this ship was the steel wreckage they saw today.
So the person who is still alive, the owner of this dream bubble, is a member of this steel ship?
Thinking of this, he floated down, came to the deck of the ship, and looked at the command room in the center of the ship.
I could already see a figure standing inside through the transparent glass.
It was the human that Alka had seen yesterday, but his attire was no longer as bleak as it had been yesterday.
He was wearing a well-fitting grey suit with a robe wrapped around his back.
The robes bear the emblem of the church.
This outfit is very similar to that of a religious church member, and the sleeves on the clothes also have that flavor.
There are many divine elements in his body.
From the information Alka knew since he met him until now, it has been basically confirmed that this person is a member of the Holy Machine Church.
Alka walked in, pulled out a bench from the side and sat down.
Faced with Alka's appearance, the man ignored her and didn't even turn his head.
This is consistent with normal dream behavior.
After thinking for a while, Alka suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
Faced with Alka's sudden question, he turned his head slightly to look at Alka, then turned his head back, with no intention of answering at all.
Don’t you even say your name?
Generally speaking, no matter what the current situation is in a dream, asking for a name will usually give an answer.
Of course not necessarily, but the probability is very high, about 75%.
If it is not within this scope, other questions will be difficult to answer.
Unless the questions asked are very consistent with his dreams.
Fortunately, Alka had already done some research on this trip.
"This is a beautiful boat. What's its name?"
This sentence successfully attracted the man's attention. He turned his head to look at Alka, then turned his head back, but the voice had already reached him.
"Steel Melody."
"Iron Melody? A very fitting name."
After waiting for a while, Alka asked again: "What happened to the ship in the end?"
"He stopped, I didn't know."
...Alka sat silently beside him, lowering his head in thought.
Although this person's answer was very vague and incomprehensible.
But Alka might know something.
After many experiments, he found that in dreams these people either did not answer questions or the questions they answered were always accurate.
It is accurate for the dreamer himself.
If he was still alive and able to move, he would have known that the ship was in ruins.
He wouldn't answer, he didn't know, he would only answer with descriptions like "broken" and "destroyed".
It has stopped, that is certain.
In other words, his final understanding of the ship was that it had stopped, and he had no idea about its current situation.
Under what circumstances would this situation occur?
He is a soul, similar to the evil spirits in the Dark Realm, who cannot leave a certain area, causing him to be trapped inside the ship and unable to see the entire ship.
He is still alive, just in some strange state and imprisoned, which may also produce such an effect.
And if he was a living person, it would explain why he had a dream yesterday about overeating like a starving ghost.
Because he was really hungry.
From this point of view, it is very likely that he has become a ghost and is trapped in the ship.
There are too many possibilities, but we already have a general direction.
Alka asked some more questions, but the man in front of him refused to answer any questions except those related to the ship.
In this way, Alka could only know very little, and he wanted to ask more questions about treasures or crew members.
For example, if he asked how many cannons the ship had and how powerful the cannons were, the person in front of him would happily answer.
Even some adjectives will be given in an expanded form.
The conditions in the dream are too simple and not suitable for asking for information.
After almost getting no more information out of him, Alka slowly flew up into the sky and left his dream bubble.
He now has one last way to obtain more information, but before that he needs to go back.
After returning to his dream bubble, he did not fall asleep in the bubble to recover his condition.
Instead, he woke up immediately.
He lit the lamp next to him, and then the map he had just received not long ago appeared in his hand.
The point hit the gold dot.
The name of the treasure was still not displayed, and Alka did not obtain any information related to the treasure.
Instead, one blue dot and one white dot showed the name and information, and these two dots were located on one side.
And the information clearly indicated that these two treasures were placed on the steel ship that had been destroyed at that time.
The blue dot is a weapon that once belonged to a member of the ship, and the white dot is the treasure house where the ship once stored valuables and money.
It can be foreseen that this treasure trove will definitely bring them a lot of money.
Two other blue dots, one white dot and a gold dot are on the other side.
This means that the treasure may be inside the wooden boat.
It was something left behind by some members of the destroyed wooden boat.
And Alka knew nothing about the wooden boat or any related information.
After learning more information.
Alka just sat on the bed, and now there was another option in front of him.
He tapped the crystal protruding from his chest.
In order to get more information, should we wake up the only living person in his dream?
