A stack of maps of various sizes were piled on the table.
As the maps were brought up, the rest of the people behaved relatively quietly, sitting quietly by the side and not interfering too much.
Now it is time for Alka, the captain, to think alone.
Generally speaking, after checking the map, Alka will have a goal and then make a decision.
After spending so many years together, they have gotten to know Alka's habits.
Looking at the pile of maps being pushed over.
Alka picked up the first one from above and examined it.
This one isn't really a map.
Because this is a simple but clearly marked island chain map.
This island chain map looks very clear and easy to understand, with various information marked on it.
The approximate time and distance at which each island will appear are almost clearly written.
There is also a gear symbol in the upper right corner of this map.
It is obviously a map issued by the Holy Machine Church. It is rigorous and the data is clear.
It deserves a good review.
Below is a stack of various maps related to the islands in the island chain.
"The Twin Island Chain has a total of 6 linked islands, two of which are relatively important. They produce some important materials and have a large permanent population.
Two of the remaining four islands are inhabited by some people and are mainly used to produce food. The last two islands are two deserted islands, one large and one small. "
After briefly describing the general situation, Xiadaiti waited quietly for Alka to check the map.
Alka looks at the maps.
Surprisingly, there are maps for every island, and this time the collection is very complete.
And looking at the level of detail of the island map, you can tell that it has been updated.
There are also different versions of maps of the same island, and even those from different time periods.
Except for those two deserted islands.
Then this matter will be much simpler.
Alka first picked up the map of the Gemini Islands, blinked, and examined it carefully.
As the largest twin island.
However, there were only three white dots on the map, and they were almost all on the borders of the island.
This suggests that they may have simply been buried on the beach, or some valuable items that sank to the bottom of the sea.
It might be worth a few silver coins, but it could also be worth a lot of money.
But Alka didn't expect the island to be so clean.
He thought that the Twin Islands would be very clean after being developed to the extent they are now, but it would not be so clean that there would be only three white spots.
Reached out and nodded.
All that was displayed were ordinary treasures, indicating that Alka did not know any information.
I put the map aside with some regret and started looking at other maps.
First are the two resource islands with larger populations.
The two islands are separated by two churches, one of which is controlled by each church.
Alka blinked and looked.
There weren't many white dots, but there were one or two blue dots, which I also pointed at.
But this time it's interesting.
There is a white dot and a blue dot revealing the name of the treasure.
This suggests that Alka may know a little bit of information about it.
But it is almost guaranteed to have little relevance to their goals.
Then look at the remaining 4 maps.
They are all white and blue, and most of them are treasures without revealing their names.
The remaining treasure only revealed the name of the treasure and some very little information.
This suggests that Alka may only know insignificant information about the treasure.
It may be extended through various kinds of information.
For example, Alka knows a place name and the name of a family.
But the target information he wanted to know was completely missing.
The only thing that can be confirmed is.
This family does have a hidden treasure , but no one knows where it is.
But it is also possible that the treasure house is on the islands of these island chains, but someone has already got there first.
It is not impossible that they were a step late.
After all, it has been more than 50 years. When the family was first destroyed, countless people must have set their sights on this treasure.
Either the treasure is not on these island chains, but is hidden by this family in a more hidden place.
It is certainly possible that such a powerful family has some secrets of its own.
Not to mention that Alka and the others don't know much about the deeper things in the Infinite Ocean.
Seeing the map, Alka was a little depressed and scanned it.
Pile them up and throw them into the space ring.
"It seems that there is nothing gained this time?" Xia Daiti asked from the opposite side, looking at Alka's expression.
Alka nodded.
"Nothing was gained. I didn't detect any trace of valuable treasure in the places represented by these maps."
"That's a shame." Jason said, leaning back in his chair.
But he didn't show much regret.
That's what treasure hunting is like. After all, they only had a tentative understanding of it.
The information you know is no more than anyone else, and may be less.
The main reason is that they didn't put in any effort.
It is also a good thing to stop loss early.
This may be where Alka can play his greatest value.
At least that's how it looks in their eyes.
In real treasure hunting, sometimes, most of the energy and time may be wasted.
"Don't worry, I have a very interesting map here."
Xia Daiti smiled and said.
Hearing this, several people present looked at her.
She took out a map about one meter wide from her space ring, and it was made very finely.
The material used for the production was obviously different. Alka and Simon, who were present, could tell at a glance that the material used was definitely the material of .
Use spell materials to draw maps.
Alka was looking forward to it.
He took it from Xia Daiti and examined it carefully.
"Regional map?" Alka thought with some surprise as he looked at the map.
"Is this an ocean? Not an island? And this painting shows an ocean without any landmark islands, right?"
Hearing Alka's doubts, Xia Daiti nodded: "Yes, that's right, I was also very surprised when I saw this map. Logically speaking, there should be no such map in the Infinite Ocean.
But when I think about it, this is the boundless ocean."
Yes, this is the boundless ocean, there is nothing strange that cannot be accepted.
"What's going on?" Simon asked curiously.
According to their understanding, the Infinite Ocean is extremely chaotic, and except for the landmark islands and the islands in its island chain, the other islands are basically drifting randomly on the sea.
There simply isn't much logic to find.
In this case, even if the sea area map is completed, it will be of no use at all.
Because it will change.
Only the island maps are of any use, and then there are the weirdly drawn island chain maps.
The island chain map is more of a data annotation than a map, with only simple direction instructions and time annotations.
It's completely different from a map.
"The area drawn here is called Zehai." Xiadaiti said as he looked at the map in Alka's hand.
"Zehai?" Alka repeated, frowning and thinking.
He seemed to have heard this word somewhere.
"Have you heard of it?"
"Hmm... I remember now." Alka patted his head, remembering where he had heard this word.
“I’ve heard of this place on the church’s bounty sign. It’s a relatively dangerous area.
Cults, all kinds of wanted criminals, and murderers are all hiding in this damn place."
At least four or five of the targets on those bounty lists are located in this place.
Xia Daiti also started to introduce what she knew about this place to everyone: "According to the boss who sells maps, this is a swamp-like sea area, which is very dangerous.
But if you often sail around the Twin Island chain, you may encounter it, because this swamp sea will appear in this large area from time to time.
Not only the Twin Islands, but also landmark islands such as Nokaan Island and Iceberg Island will encounter this sea area.
Using such rhetoric to recommend me to buy one, what if I get into trouble?"
"What do you mean?" Simon looked even more confused.
“The landmark islands I just mentioned are all distributed around the Twin Islands. In simple terms, they are the neighbors around the Twin Islands.
Even though the neighbors are far from each other. "
“Although this swamp sea is drifting randomly, it seems to have certain rules and scope.
It is around these island chains, so ships operating between these landmark islands will encounter this sea area if they are unlucky. "
After hearing this, everyone roughly understood.
That is to say, although this sea area does not belong to the landmark island and can drift at will, its drifting range is at least within a certain area.
Instead of drifting aimlessly in this endless, vast ocean.
Although this area can be described as ridiculously large, it is even estimated to be larger than the entire Home Sea.
But at least for the Expanse, it is an acceptable range.
But it is not an island after all, but an entire very peculiar sea area. After hundreds and thousands of years, as more people encounter it, they naturally get to know more about it.
Alka looked at the map of the sea in front of him.
Although the map looks relatively clear, a lot of the data is very vague, including how large this sea area is.
But this sea area is indeed large enough.
Because in Alka's eyes, this place is not classified as a whole sea area, it does not belong to the island map or regional map in the sense of Alka's classification.
There are three types of Alka's classifications: world maps, regional maps, and island maps.
Among them, the regional map can provide the least information.
Almost no information is given.
Only light spots will be marked on the islands included in the map.
But in front of Alka, the map was actually divided into three areas.
In other words, this map is essentially a bit like a world map.
It's just a world map that covers only one area.
These three areas can be simply divided into the upper area, the left area and the right area.
The upper area accounts for almost half of it.
Alka reached out and tapped the upper area.
[Mysterious Area]
[Treasure quantity: White - large amount, Blue - large amount, Gold - small amount, Orange - trace amount.]
[Regional Difficulty: Crazy]
[Regional introduction: None]
It's been a long time since Alka left his home sea. This is the status introduction column that he hasn't seen since then.
After all, there is no such thing as a world map in the vast ocean.
Uncharted Waters? Apparently it wasn't because the sea was called Uncharted Waters, but because Alka had no idea what the sea was called.
When I looked at the world map of Home Sea, I didn’t have such troubles because these areas had already been clearly marked on the world map.
What really concerned Alka was the number of treasures marked on it.
In such a large fixed area in the vast ocean.
White and blue are a lot that Alka can understand.
But why? Even golden treasures have such small quantities.
A small amount is not as simple as one or two.
According to Alka's previous speculation, there were probably more than three.
Did they start to appear in groups?
And this trace amount is a rating that Alka has never seen before.
It probably means there is one.
But the problem is this is orange.
A treasure of [Scepter] level.
This means that Alka has obtained information related to a scepter-level treasure, although he may not have the ability to obtain it.
But knowing is better than not knowing.
This way you will have more choices.
Then there is the difficulty.
crazy.
It is an acceptable difficulty, which means that there is extreme chaos here, and it can almost be said that there is no order at all.
Not only are there enemies, but the environment is also extremely dangerous.
This is Alka's understanding.
Because there is also this kind of regional danger level in the Home Sea.
Out of curiosity, Alka reached out and tapped the lower right corner.
[Mysterious Area]
[Treasure quantity: White - large amount, blue - large amount, orange - small amount.]
[Regional Difficulty: Crazy]
[Regional introduction: None]
Alka was sure that he had not seen it wrong, and was also sure that he had not clicked the wrong area.
But apparently there are still orange treasures in this place.
Another one.
Except for the lack of golden treasure, there is no difference between this place and the upper area.
So what the hell is this place? Alka has seen two orange treasure locations.
These are all classified as within the scope of Zehai.
He reached out and touched the last area again. It was impossible for another orange treasure to appear in this place.
Alka couldn't help but think.
If another orange treasure appears, Alka will have to evaluate whether they have the strength to go there.
Because if that's the case, then it's obvious that there must be a big problem with this swamp.
[Mysterious Area]
[Treasure quantity: White - large amount, Blue - small amount, Gold - trace amount, Red - trace amount]
[Regional Difficulty: Crazy]
[Regional introduction: None]
Looking at the introduction of this area, Alka silently zipped up his mouth in his heart.
What the hell?
Can anyone tell me what the hell this is?
There is indeed no orange quantity marking.
But the gold markings are back, in trace amounts, indicating there is a gold treasure. This is good.
If it were just that, Alka would be happy.
But obviously this is impossible, a completely new color appears on it.
So here comes the question.
What is red?
What would be red?
According to normal logic, there is only one kind of treasure that has no color mark.
Without a doubt, it is the Crown.
[Crown] level treasures can be determined, and one must reach the sixth stage of strength to be able to touch and master the treasures.
It is the top existence among all treasures.
In the recipe for becoming a god, only one thing is enough.
For Alka, who can't even master the [Scepter] level now and is not qualified to obtain it.
He didn't want to hear about the [Crown] level treasure at this time.
This is of no benefit to them as they are just small fry now, not even a little bit.
The appearance of two orange things in a row made him suspicious and wary of this place.
It's ok now.
The most top-level treasures appeared in this place, and Alka had already begun to back down in his heart.
The strength of their team is only at the third stage at best.
Alkanu tried hard to use special means to bring out the strength of his fourth stage in the dream.
But so what?
He has only just stepped into the starting line-up of the powerful men in the Boundless Sea.
So what the hell is this place?
"Your expression doesn't look right. Is there something wrong with this place?" Xiadaiti looked at Alka and asked.
Hearing this, Alka looked up at Jason and Simon beside him.
“Is my expression obvious?”
They both shook their heads.
"No, your expression didn't change at all."
"Humph, you just didn't observe carefully, and you don't know Alka well."
"The look in your eyes just now was quite serious."
"Really?" Simon and Jason looked at each other, then looked at Alka.
After looking at it carefully for a long time, he still shook his head.
Jason looked at Xia Daiti as if he were a pervert.
"What's that look?" Xia Daiti asked unhappily with a frown.
“No.” Jason waved his hand and silently looked away: “I praise your observation skills.”
It’s better not to mess with him.
Xia Daiti’s punches are now fast and heavy.
I can't take even a single punch.
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about these trivial things."
After saying this, Alka tapped the map in front of him with his hand, frowned, and looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"The aura of the treasures in this damn place is almost making me faint."
"Really?" Jason's eyes lit up.
He is really short of money now. His damn instructor said there is a treasure trove hidden in the mortal world, but he has no idea where that damn place is.
Turning around, he remembered that the world was shattered, and he didn't know if the place where he was hiding had turned into ashes.
He is so poor now that he is in tears.
If no more funds come, the Crystal Dragon will really start to starve.
Then he would have to rely on the help of other people on the ship to survive.
As a member of the treasure hunting team, I am so poor that I have to borrow money from others. It would be embarrassing if I told others about it.
By then, Alcabololo and the others will definitely take advantage of the situation.
Give him a good beating.
No, no.
Jason shook his head wildly when he thought of this. This was not the future he wanted.
In response to Jason's question, Alka nodded.
"Judging from your expression, it's not that easy, right?" Xia Daiti said.
Alka nodded, his expression still serious: "That's right, in addition to the smell of treasure. The danger of that place is chilling. It is very dangerous and not necessarily a place we can set foot in casually."
After these words were spoken, everyone became a little confused.
To be honest, they still have a certain understanding of their own strength.
I can only say that it is simple self-protection and there will be no problem.
Running away in Alka's presence is also considered first-rate.
But if they expect to be powerful, then they definitely can't do that. When they see a slightly stronger person, they have to think about how to escape.
There was silence for a moment.
Alka knocked on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry about the Nafas family. Let's collect information about Zehai. All the information."
Compared with Zehai's treasure, the treasure of the Nafas family can be completely forgotten.
"We will then assess the danger level there. After all, we may not be able to go where we want to go.
It is drifting freely in this vast ocean.
We can only wait and have plenty of time to prepare.”
Hearing this, several people nodded.
Then they called the others in and started discussing.
This is definitely the place to go.
You have to understand even if you don't go.
But you must not go blindly, you must have enough understanding and find the right opportunity.
After determining the target, everyone started to act.
