Chapter 252 Leaving

Today it is the second team that goes to dig.

Alka arrived on the ship early, of course, on the pirate ship hanging behind them.

He had to think about what to do with the ship.

It is obviously impossible to use it by themselves, as they do not have so many people and no such demand.

And to be honest, they were somewhat disappointed with the ship, as it was too small. The spells on the ship were also ordinary and had nothing special about them.

The supplies in the pirate ship have been looted by them.

"Why don't we sell it? Sell it to the people in town. This boat looks much better than the two they are using." Juanlu suggested after thinking for a while.

Alka nodded, this suggestion seemed good.

"Okay, I'll try it later."

Because these few days might be the time for Balazs to arrive on the island, Jason did not follow the team to excavate the ruins, but waited in the town.

After breakfast, I followed a few people to tow the pirate ship to the port of the town.

"Iwaki, it's you two here today. It's been a while since we last saw each other."

As soon as Jason got off the boat, he headed straight for the two town hunters guarding the harbor.

Judging from how familiar they are with each other, it is obvious that they have known each other for more than a day or two.

In other words, Jason knew almost all of the hunters in this town, and was even very familiar with them.

"Are you familiar with that pirate group? If possible, listen to my advice, Jason, it's better to keep a distance from these pirates." The hunter called Yanmu whispered in Jason's ear.

Hearing this, Jason smiled and shook his head.

"No, we are not helping him, but the pirate ship belongs to us now."

"Yours?" Yanmu was a little confused.

Then he seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right. Those pirates seemed quite interested in you. Did they attack you?"

After all, Alka and his friends have been here for a long time, and everyone with some power in the town knows of their existence.

To be honest, the relationship between them is pretty good because of the frequent help from Jason and Alka.

One can even say he is a benefactor.

Because Alka and his men gave a more detailed map of the island to the mayor of the town.

Because of this gift.

So they are still very popular in this town.

Especially for these hunters, the map was like a great help and saved their lives.

"Yes, they attacked us yesterday without any eyesight, but they were obviously no match for us." Jason patted Yanmu in front of him and said with a smile.

Iwaki nodded with a gloating look. The pirates being attacked and destroyed was something that almost all orderly forces were very happy to see.

Although there were only a few thousand people in their town, the reason why this group of pirates did not dare to attack was because some people in their town were quite powerful.

Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by the pirates' attacks.

And it’s not like the town hasn’t fought with those foreign pirates before.

So no one has a good impression of pirates.

Even though these pirates behaved very civilized and politely when they arrived on the island.

"So are you interested in taking over this ship? After all, we don't have that many people and can't operate two ships."

Jason said with a smile, "Since we are all friends, I will give you a discount price."

"Are you going to sell this ship to us?" Iwaki was a little surprised.

For such an ocean world, good ships are always in short supply.

In this chaotic sea.

The more ships are built and destroyed, the more ships are needed.

Not to mention that the pirate ship must be a spell ship, and it can also sail long distances.

The two ships they had on the island were not very good vessels, and even long voyages were risky.

This is really unsafe.

Even so, the two ships were well maintained.

no way.

They were too few in number and had no channels to obtain good ships.

The only specialty of their island is those relatively good spell materials.

But after all, the town has a small population, and hunters cannot go out hunting often.

The results of each hunt would not .

There is no stable supply.

Only Balazs would make acquisitions from time to time.

Even the two ships were actually given by an islander who had made his fortune outside.

Now there was an opportunity to get a better ship, and of course they took it.

"Okay, no problem. You guys wait here. I'll go find the mayor."

With that said, Iwaki strode towards the town, while his teammates beside him smiled and began to greet Alka and the others.

After a while, the mayor of the town came over, followed by several hunters.

Looking at Alka, he smiled and hugged her.

"My friend, you have brought me good news again."

Among the hunters following him was Shiraishi, who waved to Alka and the others.

"This is called helping each other. Well, let's take a look at this ship and see if it suits your taste." Alka said, leading the mayor to where the pirate ship was docked.

Looking at the pirate ship, the mayor did not ask too many questions.

Instead, he walked around the shore and looked around, then asked, "Do you mind if I go aboard and take a look?"

"Of course, of course I don't mind."

When they stepped onto the boat.

The scene on the boat was somewhat beyond the mayor's expectations.

Apart from having no sails, the ship was surprisingly clean, with no signs of fighting.

Even the spell on it was not damaged.

The mayor received news yesterday that someone was fighting on the island, and he speculated that it was Alka and his men who were fighting the pirates.

This island is too small and there are only so many strangers.

Logically speaking, this ship should have been captured by them yesterday, and it is impossible for the pirates to just surrender and let them occupy the ship.

This ship should have a lot of traces of battle and must have some damage.

The reason he came up to take a look was to bargain.

After all, they don't have much property.

Every bit of property is very precious.

But the problem is that this boat is like new.

The mayor scratched his head in confusion and looked at a hunter next to him.

The hunter also shook his head in confusion.

Forget it, let’s see if there are any hidden dangers.

The mayor said with both joy and regret in his heart.

He brought people to start checking the ship, and the inspection was very detailed.

Alka and his companions were not in a hurry and chatted with Bai Shi, waiting quietly.

Fortunately, he and Simon repaired the ship yesterday. Simon, who possessed the treasure, was unexpectedly fast in controlling the construct to repair the ship.

The main reason is that the spells on this pirate ship are not complicated and the forging technology is not difficult.

Not to mention that due to Simon and Jason's deliberate efforts, the ship suffered very little damage.

Only the key nodes of the spell were damaged, so they just needed to re-carve them. The only damaged part was the rudder, so they could also repair it.

There was no problem with the main coupling structure at all, and except for the burned sails that could not be quickly retrieved, they almost completely repaired the rest.

There was even time to clean and maintain the boat to make it look more perfect.

Sell at a higher price.

These are the techniques learned day after day for the maintenance of Dawn Sound.

Compared to the Voice of Dawn, the maintenance of this ship is child's play.

After all, it's never too serious to treat your own girl.

"I have to say, this ship is beyond my expectations. How much do you want?" The mayor came over and said helplessly.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Alka’s face.

After communicating with Balazs, they have a certain understanding of the prices in the surrounding area.

Since long voyages in the vast ocean place very high demands on ships, there are almost no ordinary ships here.

Except for the fishing boats near the coast.

The starting point is the spell ship, and there is actually no shortage of materials with high magic power to make spell ships here.

As a result, the spell ships here are much cheaper than those in the Home Sea.

The most common low-level commercial spell ship can only patrol the surrounding waters of the island and is very difficult to sail. Without any weapons, it usually only costs about 200 gold sails.

Of course, this is only the standard for the Boundless Ocean. In the sea areas of the Four Gods, the sea conditions are not so bad.

The pirate ship they have has a gun deck with a total of 24 guns, and the price of these weapons is not low.

But they didn't know the price of these stone-shaking cannons because they had never seen this model before.

Obviously unique to the Expanse.

Moreover, the size and structure of this ship obviously exceed ordinary standards and it was built according to the standards of a warship.

So they directly took the price of the standard spell ship of the battleship. Due to different requirements, the battleship must be smaller than the merchant ship.

This ship is obviously a mid-level one.

After all, it is more than 40 meters long and the number of artillery pieces meets the standard.

When fully loaded with weapons and ammunition, a ship built according to warship standards has a market price of around 1,500 gold sails, excluding second-hand ships and pirate ships.

"1200 gold sails, or spell materials of equal value."

Upon hearing Alka's price, the mayor immediately shook his head.

"No, no, this is too expensive. This ship is obviously not worth that much."

"It has no sails, and it's been used for quite a while. We'll need to replace some materials soon after we get it. Not to mention it's a pirate ship, so the maximum amount of sails is 800 gold."

"800? How is that possible? It's too little. There's no way we can get him with this price."

The two of them bargained back and forth.

The people around them went from being surprised to getting used to it, and finally started chatting with each other and ignored the two.

"How about this, we both make a concession and pay you 600 gold sails with your materials. But you have to let me and a friend of mine take a look at your totem technology."

Alka stated his demand.

Hearing this, the mayor waved his hand without hesitation. How could he let outsiders see the island's core technology?

"No way. Don't even think about it."

"I can swear to our respective gods that only the two of us will see it and it will never be passed on to outsiders in any way."

In this world where gods do exist, swearing an oath to them is truly worthy of recognition.

There will definitely be no good ending if you break your oath, not to mention that the person breaking your oath is the god you believe in.

Even if it were possible to circumvent the oath, it was not something they had the means to do now.

Hearing this, the mayor was silent.

He couldn't help but start thinking.

He knew that Alka believed in the Virgin Mary, and he could see it.

After thinking for a while, he said, "500 gold sail materials, and I will agree to your request."

After all, their totem technology is not that good, and many forces, big and small, have similar methods.

Alka is simply interested. He has a certain fetish of collecting technology, and he wants to use this technology on dolls.

It was obviously much better than the spell-carving technique he was using now, and now was a good time.

"make a deal."

It was only a few hundred gold sails, but it was worth it. After digging on the island for so long, the wealth they had gained brought them an income of about 600 gold sails after careful calculation.

The two shook hands vigorously.

The mayor then said something to the hunter beside him.

Then he turned to Alka and said, "Do you have any requirements for these transaction materials?"

"No requirements, just a little of each."

The mayor nodded and said, "That's no problem. We will deliver the materials you requested later."

"Okay, this ship is yours. Here are the secret commands for controlling it with spells." Alka handed him the crystal piece in his hand.

The commands that were reconstructed through key connection points last night are equivalent to the control center of a spell ship, similar to a car key remote control.

Without this thing, you would have to carry enough crew members to sail the ship, and you would only be sailing a relatively sturdy ordinary ship.

Because the spell on the ship was locked.

The deal was officially done, everyone was happy, and they left the pirate ship.

He is now from the Broken Town.

Jason was standing nearby, and asked the mayor with some curiosity, "Why hasn't Baraz come for so long this time? Has this happened to him before?"

Alka and the others are planning to travel to Southern Cross Island together with Balazs.

Hearing this question, the mayor's expression became a little serious: "It has happened before, but it's rare to have such a situation."

To be honest, he was also a little worried.

He was worried every time.

It wasn't because he had a good relationship with Balazs.

If something unexpected happens to Balazs, he will have to find a new partner.

This is not easy, after all, there is not enough trust between the two sides.

And Balazs and his team have been working together for a long time. It is very rare to have a good partner.

In another day or two it will exceed 50 days and nights.

"I heard that you are preparing to leave?" Bai Shi suddenly asked while walking behind.

He had heard Jason talk about it recently.

Alka nodded, he really thought so.

Most of the members on the ship have already met the standards. Since Juanlu and Jason don't have any treasures, everyone doesn't have any better solutions.

"Yes, very recently."

"Then you have to hurry up. We will be away from the island chain in more than ten days. These ten days are the best time." The mayor said beside him when he heard his words.

Basically, every 60 days and nights is considered a cycle, and among these 60 days and nights, only 15 days and nights will reconnect the island chain with the Southern Cross.

This means that 15 days out of 60 days are the best period for activities, whether you are leaving the island or going to the island.

These 15 days are usually the last period of the cycle, and there will be certain fluctuations, so they are not necessarily accurate.

This time it is between 45 and 60 days and nights, and generally Baraz will arrive in the first 5 days and nights.

This will allow enough time to trade goods, deal with unexpected situations, and ensure that you can leave the island within a certain period of time.

"Only ten more days and nights?" Alka murmured to himself.

It’s indeed a bit urgent. If you miss it, you will have to wait until the next time.

After parting with the mayor and others, Alka looked at the map in his hand and saw how many map points were left.

After thinking about it, I crossed out some white dots, leaving only the blue dots that could be obtained and a few adjacent white dots.

"Let's dig up these spots in the last few days, and then we'll be ready to leave."

Jason leaned over to take a look and nodded.

Before they knew it, they had dug up so many ruins.

Tell the truth.

He felt that he had now mastered the skills in this area.

…

Ten days and nights were neither long nor short and passed quickly.

In the last few days, Alka and Simon found the mayor, learned about their totem technology, and took a vow.

When the oath was taken, Alka had an obvious strange feeling, as if it was binding on him.

When I want to tell others about these techniques, the constraints will remind me in my heart that if I insist on doing it, I will be punished.

It seems that in this world with gods, any oath related to gods is very serious.

Can't stand any jokes.

As the last blue dots are cleared.

Alka looked at the map in his hand.

Compared to the spots that were once densely populated, it is now much more empty.

The vast expanses of open space are the result of their hard work.

Unfortunately, they do not have the strength to clear all the above points now.

Only a few blue dots and some white dots were left , scattered here and there.

There is also that extremely bright, unsatisfying orange beam of light.

During this time, Alka also found fame on many blue and white dots.

It's not just the orange beam that's famous.

This means that there are still people who remember this unknown civilization from 30,000 years ago, some people still have memories of them, and some ethnic groups still have records of this civilization.

And Alka also roughly guessed some information.

The reason why I couldn’t get the remaining three golden treasures.

It is very likely that they are still in a different space.

The broken island beneath their feet was just a part separated from that space.

This is why orange treasures are needed to save their tribe.

Because only orange treasures can be opened.

The ship is about to set sail for the Southern Cross.

Otherwise you will miss the last minute.

Xiadaiti came over and saw Alka staring at the map.

He smiled and said, "Why? Is there any treasure on this island that you are reluctant to leave?"

Alka nodded, "Indeed, there is."

"Really?" Xia Daiti was just joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.
