Chapter 314 Family Treasure House
Julia was holding something made of white shells in her hand, which was the same thing she had obtained from the mermaid before.
Alka looked at the shell and could clearly sense the faint magical power emanating from it.
This must be a spell item, and Julia has never had this thing before. So it is obvious that this thing is a relic of the mermaid, which is the specific item indicated by the treasure this time.
"So what is this thing?"
Hearing this question, Julia gently opened the shell in front of everyone.
But after seeing what was inside, everyone felt a little regretful.
Inside is a round pearl, about the size of a thumb.
The milky white color reflects light.
The gloss on it can even reflect colorful light.
Putting aside what this thing is used for, just looking at its appearance, it must be worth a lot of money.
But it seemed very different from what Alka and the others had guessed.
"This is a music box. The pearl inside is a natural magical item that allows creatures that cannot breathe underwater to breathe underwater."
After hearing Julia's words, several land creatures immediately became interested.
Breathe underwater?
"Is it the kind of ability that creates a bubble on the head?" Lucelia asked.
She was talking about an effect that also allows people to breathe underwater.
However, the breathing time is limited, which mainly depends on your proficiency in the spell and how much oxygen is stored in the bubble wrapped around your head.
Essentially a makeshift oxygen mask.
This spell can be considered a relatively popular spell, but it is not that easy to obtain.
At least when Alka and the others were at the Home Sea, everyone would.
Julia shook her head: "Not this kind, it's something that allows you to breathe in the sea like a fish."
Julia handed the pearl to Lucelia.
This thing is obviously of no use to her as she can breathe freely in the water.
Lucelia looked at the pearls in her hands and sighed helplessly.
"What a pity. I don't even need to breathe right now."
Hearing this, Alka silently picked up the pearl and placed it in his hand.
As the pearl was held in his hand, he clearly felt the difference.
A large amount of water gushed out from the other hand, wrapping around his head as he controlled it.
Alka was blowing bubbles in the water; he could actually breathe in the water.
This thing is similar to adding a layer of magical filtration system to the mouth of a normal person, absorbing oxygen in the water during breathing.
In order to achieve the purpose of breathing underwater, it will not change the structure of a normal human body.
And you don't feel that this pearl costs any magic power at all. As long as you hold this pearl, you can breathe freely in the water.
Compared to that spell, the endurance is close to infinite.
In this ocean world, this pearl must be worth a lot of money.
After experiencing it, he threw the pearl to Simon.
This thing was given to Simon, who was to make suitable equipment for it.
A melodious singing voice came to everyone's ears. This singing voice was obviously different from Julia's, but it could be heard that they were from the same background.
Turn around and look.
The shell music box in Julia's hand is the source of the sound.
If I'm not mistaken, this sound should be the singing of the dead mermaid.
But the singing sounds a bit strange, not really like singing.
It's telling something, but it's expressed in the form of singing.
Although it still sounds nice.
Julia closed her eyes and listened quietly.
Apparently there seems to be an unknown message coming out of the music box.
The crowd was listening to the songs and waiting quietly. They couldn't figure out what message the songs were trying to express.
Not long after, Julia opened her eyes.
"That merman who died was a master of life."
They still know the title of Master of Life.
It is a church organization that believes in life, a title under the Seed of Life.
It can be simply compared to the saints and holy women of the Virgin Mary Church.
But there are differences, and they are not small.
Master of Life is more like a title of honor, a compliment to personal strength and behavior.
It means that people with this title have made great achievements in protecting the environment.
That’s why he is called the Master of Life.
"She was invaded by the power of death because she wanted to understand the situation at the border between life and death. And this land of living beings is extremely hostile to the members of the Seed of Life, so she died there in the end.
Before she died, she left some information and her treasures at the junction of life and death."
Julia paused.
He looked up at everyone and said, "Her strength... has six stages."
"Sixth stage?" Alka murmured.
How should I put it? Even in the vast ocean, the sixth stage can be considered a strong man.
It was such a strong man who simply reached the boundary between life and death.
It seems that without reaching the seventh or eighth stage, we cannot rashly explore that place.
The strong men with the strength of the sixth stage had to wait for death in the sea because they were invaded by power.
It's really despairing.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Did she tell me something about the boundary between life and death? For example, why she was injured so badly, and why she left her treasure there."
Julia nodded.
“She said she had already entered the core area of the border between life and death, and the monsters there were very strong. She was the only one attacked at the time, so she was seriously injured.
When she was about to escape, she already felt that she might not survive, so she left the treasure in the border area where life and death meet.
It is said to be her treasure, which can leave a fixed point at the junction of life and death, but its specific function is unknown.
Hopefully whoever finds her body will be able to bring it back to... the Seed of Life."
After hearing Julia's last words, everyone fell silent.
Julia is now an apostate, so to speak.
You let an apostate go to the church of the Seed of Life. What's the difference between that and seeking death?
"I'll leave it to you then."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Okay, we have another place to go."
Alka said as he piloted the Swallow again, taking everyone to where the treasure house was.
That was the focus of their trip.
The real need is that they are worth your attention, time and effort.
Fortunately, the treasure house was not far from them. After driving for about an hour, they arrived at the location of the light.
Here too, the view is endless, except for a forest in the distance.
It seems that the forest in the distance may be the reference of this treasure house.
Of course, it's just a simple guess.
However, the place where they were was at least 1 kilometer away from the woods in the distance.
"Is this it?" Porollo asked.
Alka nodded and jumped right off the boat, stepping into the water.
Then he stepped on the vine layer below.
“It should be right down here.”
"Then I'll go down and take a look." Porro said as he found a weak spot, tore a hole and went straight down.
I started looking for a suspicious place below that might be a treasure house. Generally speaking, treasure houses are large and not easy to hide.
Not everywhere is like Vastewa.
After a while he came back in.
"It's hidden so well." Porro exclaimed and crawled out.
Apparently he had found it.
Hearing this, Alka asked, "Have you found where the treasure is?"
Pororo nodded: “The vines in this area are sunk very deep into the seabed, dozens of meters.
The treasure is hidden in this area, wrapped in vines, very hidden."
Simply put, if Porro hadn't known that there was a so-called treasure trove hidden in this area, he would never have discovered it.
Even though he might come and go in this area, he might not be noticed.
Hearing this, Alka thought for a while.
Then he said, "Juanlu, Jason, Urulius. The three of you and the puppet army will stay up there, and the rest of you will follow me down."
After the teams were assigned, everyone nodded.
They each prepared a way to breathe underwater and went down through the hole together.
Jason and his team were on guard up there to prevent sneak attacks or ambushes.
Although it is unlikely, necessary vigilance must not be lacking.
As soon as Alka went deep underwater, he couldn't help shivering. It was really cold down there.
The chill is not like normal sea water.
It was pitch black, with densely hanging vines swaying in the water.
The sunlight from the sky shines through the sea surface and penetrates through the gaps in the vines, casting tiny beams of light down one after another.
These beams of light did not add any good to the area.
Seriously.
This place can definitely be used to shoot a horror movie. The environment alone is creepy enough.
Porro swam in front and swayed in front of everyone.
Everyone followed him immediately.
It went straight into the vines.
These vines are extremely sticky and some have thorns on them.
It swayed left and right with the flow of the sea water, even trying to tie them up.
Everyone swam closely following Porro for a long time before they finally saw Porro stop.
But where he parked looked no different from the surroundings.
There are countless vines hanging down.
He reached out and pushed aside the vines in front of him, revealing a door that looked like it was made of stone.
"This should be the entrance to the treasure house. There are walls around where the vines are entangled."
Everyone swam up and looked at the pattern on the circular gate.
This is some kind of strange stone. On the round door, there are two circles and a keyhole in the middle.
Everyone began to surround the treasure house and check it out.
Simon took out a modified patrol plane that could swim around in the water, and two patrol planes began to scan the entire treasure house.
Xia Daiti tried to use silver ripples to penetrate the material of the treasure house and understand its structure and the situation inside.
Lucelia began to examine the patterns around the treasure house and whether there were any words on them.
Everyone started doing their own work.
Alka stood in front of the gate.
Those two circular grooves must be useful, and the keyhole in the middle should be the final key to the three conditions.
That is to say, the treasure house has a total of three certifications.
Or three "locks".
Alka reached out and touched the circular groove on the top layer, studying it carefully.
Finally, I sniffed it gently.
“The smell of holy light.”
Alka nodded helplessly, which means that the power required for the smaller groove inside is the so-called power of life and death.
They should be opened in sequence.
It can basically be determined that the outermost grooves should require some kind of holy light, or just a high concentration of holy light.
So the problem lies in the key and power, where to get the key and how to obtain the power of life and death.
Thinking of this, Alka reached out and knocked on the circular door in front of him, as well as the stone of the entire treasure house.
One can feel that this treasure trove is not as simple as it appears.
After all, it looks like it can be broken by force.
But Alka could clearly feel that this treasure house was very solid. As a treasure house of a powerful family, Alka did not believe that there was no spell to protect it.
If you try to force it open from the outside, it's likely to end up being more trouble than it's worth .
It would be very painful if you went through so much trouble to open it from the outside, but ended up destroying the treasure inside and causing it to self-destruct.
It is a normal phenomenon that such a treasure house will self-destruct if it is damaged by violence.
Alka wouldn't bet on whether he had such a function.
At this time, Matlisa swam over and touched Alka with her hand.
"There are two bodies up there."
Hearing this, Alka immediately followed Matresa upstream.
The entire treasure house is actually densely entangled by hanging vines, which is equivalent to hanging under the vine layer.
Above the treasure house, Mathilda pushed aside the dense and stretched vines.
Two bodies were revealed inside.
From the degree of decay of the two bodies, it can be seen that they have been dead for a long time.
There was no flesh and blood left on his body, only the skeleton that had been corroded and unrecognizable due to being soaked in the sea for a long time.
There are also some marine organisms attached to the bones.
There were still some decorations and clothes on his body.
Alka came to the two corpses and examined them carefully.
"The strength of these two corpses should have been at the third stage when they were alive."
Hearing Matlisa's words, Alka nodded.
From the attire on the two corpses and the icons on the items, it can be clearly seen that these two corpses should be members of the Nafas family.
They died here at the same time, probably at the same time as their family died decades ago.
They must have been the guards of this treasure house.
Alka pulled out a spell item from their hands that was almost out of use.
There is no blue border on it.
This means that this thing was actually considered part of the treasure house.
But this thing is really of no use. Alka examined it carefully and thought that it should be something used to transmit information.
So that's why the two people guarding the treasure house are only at the third stage of strength, because they can send messages and call for support at any time.
After all, it is such an important treasure trove.
Too bad, no one will receive the message now.
According to the defensive measures included here, only two people need to send a message when they encounter danger or an intruder is irresistible, and other family members will naturally come quickly.
After reading all this, Alka checked again and made sure that there was nothing else before taking Matlisa back to the gate below.
At this time, everyone had finished their inspections and returned.
After making sure that there was nothing left to check, they went back upstairs together.
Everyone returned to the sea.
Start communicating with each other.
“If you want to open the door in a legitimate way, three conditions must be met.
The power of holy light, the power of life and death, the key of Esteel."
When everyone went downstairs, they saw the two grooves on the door and the keyhole in the middle.
It is easy to understand what these three conditions mean.
Although I don't know how Alka knew it so clearly all of a sudden.
"I can understand the power of holy light, but the power of life and death won't ask us to the boundary between life and death, right?" Simon couldn't help but ask from the side.
Alka shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either.
He also didn't understand what the power of life and death meant.
"Can it be opened violently?" Jason asked from the side without going down.
Simon shook his head.
He then stretched out his palm, and the lines of magic formed a treasure-trove-like structure.
It can be seen that the treasure house is a circular stone building with a circular gate in front.
"This treasure house is forged entirely from a type of sea steel, a mineral that is extremely strong in the ocean.
If it stays in the sea water, it will share the force it bears with the sea water, making itself even stronger. "
Simply put, it is not impossible to break it by brute force, but it is extremely difficult.
At this time, Xia Daiti came over and pointed at the treasure composition in his hand and said.
"There is a mezzanine inside. There is no way such a treasure house would not have spells. The spells are all engraved in the mezzanine."
Simply put, brute force is not an option and is very risky.
"But how can these three conditions be achieved? And it is very likely that all those who know how to achieve these three conditions are dead."
Jason said helplessly beside him.
After all, this kind of secret concerning the family treasure must be known only by important family members, but unfortunately all the family members are dead.
While everyone was communicating, the map appeared in Aka's hand again.
He directly clicked on the blue dot representing the treasure house to see if there was any additional expansion of the newly appeared treasure information.
Generally speaking, we have already arrived at the scene, and analysis of the scene can obtain some relevant information about the treasure.
[Treasure information: The treasure house used by the Nafas family to store family treasures, which contains the family’s accumulation over a hundred years.
With the sudden demise of the entire family, a huge fortune was left behind.
If you want to get the treasure, you need to open the door of the treasure house.
The Light of the Virgin Mary, the Power of Life and Death, the Key of Esteel.
Light of the Virgin Mary: Pure power of the Virgin Mary, able to remove all evil and protect oneself.
The power of life and death: the power at the junction of life and death. The special physique of the Nafas family makes them always hover between life and death.
Hubei Steel Key: A key forged from a precious special steel. 】
Sure enough, there was expansion.
