Chapter 344 Returning Home
After saying goodbye to Gilliana, Alka soon arrived under the Flower of Heaven.
Seeing that it was Alka, the priests around him nodded at him and did not stop him.
After all, we are already acquaintances.
It was not until they were almost at the root of the Flower of Heaven that a priest stopped Alka and led him down.
Then wait beside.
A faint scent of pollen oozes from the giant flowers.
The pollen turned into petals in the air, and the figure of the flower fairy appeared among the petals.
The priests around him immediately bowed their heads to show their respect.
The flower fairy waved her hand, then looked at Alka in front of her.
"Are you here so soon? Are you ready to leave here?"
Alka nodded.
"Yes."
"Really? Then I hope you can come back soon. My people still need your help. Here is what you want."
After teasing twice, the flower fairy extended her hand.
An energy object that looked like a seed appeared in her hand.
"This is?"
Alka looked at the thing in his hand and asked in confusion. He really couldn't tell what it was. It felt like the essence of divinity, but it was not quite the same.
"A divine seed, but in this broken world, there is no place for it to grow. So this is just the remaining energy and an empty shell."
After listening to the flower fairy's explanation, Alka still looked confused.
He had no idea what this thing was for, or how to use it.
It sounds like it's very powerful.
"This is what you need. If you insist on saying what it is useful for, well... do you have a boat? You should have, after all, this has become the world of that big guy Poseidon."
Alka nodded, "Yes."
"That's good. You can try to plant it on the boat. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."
Hearing this, Alka gently took the seeds.
Holding it in his hand, Alka's feeling became more obvious. This thing really looked like a divine essence, but it felt a bit like the divine essence had been weakened.
But it seems to have a kind of entity.
Very strange.
He carefully took out the box from his pocket ring, put the seeds in it and sealed it tightly. He then held it in his hand.
When Alka finished and looked up again, the flower fairy had disappeared, leaving only petals on the ground.
"Master Arka, please leave with me."
The pastor next to him walked up and said.
Alka nodded and left with the priest.
Soon on the way back, I met Xia Daiti who was purchasing supplies.
When we arrived at the port together, Juanlu had been waiting there for a long time.
In addition to the supplies in their pockets and rings, they also carried large and small bags on their bodies.
Most of them are ingredients.
Although there should be some left on the Voice of Dawn, they haven't returned to the Voice of Dawn for a long time, and the ingredients may have spoiled.
The three of them arrived at the camp on the Feiyan.
Most of the camp had been cleared out and everything had been recycled.
"Then who should stay?" Lucelia asked in a tangled manner, sitting on Alka's shoulder.
She hasn't decided yet which puppet girls to let stay.
Alka looked at her and asked, “How many have you decided?”
Lucilia held out her finger and said, "If I leave, Ling must stay. She is the most mature and stable, and can control the others."
"Then leave behind a member of Team Five, a member of Team Seven, and a member of Team One."
The deputy team leader, a maintenance worker, a sorcerer, and an assassin?
A fairly reasonable configuration.
Thinking about it, Alka suggested, "Let Xuanye stay, and add another member of Team Nine."
"Why let Xuanye stay?"
Lucelia was a little confused.
"In case of any accidents, Xuan is the only one who can enter my dream. She must be in my royal court. If something unexpected happens, it won't be considered a loss of contact.
And when necessary, she can also seek support from the royal court."
Hearing this, Lucilia nodded in understanding.
"Okay, that's it, I'll go make the arrangements."
After saying that, he ran down to where the puppet girls were gathered.
Then Alka heard a noisy sound coming from behind.
It's not that they're postponing, but they all want to stay. They think it will be fun, brave and free.
But the spots were soon decided.
Alka looked at Zero as a coin appeared in his hand, with his court symbol on the front and their team symbol on the back.
This is equivalent to proof of Alka's kingship.
“Take this. If you have any problems, you can ask Gilliana or the Flower Fairy for help.
If all else fails, you can ask Xuan Rumeng for help, and use this coin as a coordinate."
Zero nodded.
Soon the selected team stayed in the woods and waved goodbye to Alka and the others.
Alka and others also sat on the Feiyan, moving straight forward towards the edge of the swamp.
The call has been made.
The Voice of Dawn had been waiting outside for a long time.
…
"It is estimated to take more than a week." Xia Daiti said while driving the Feiyan.
At this time, the Feiyan, with the help of the thrusters behind it, was speeding on the water like a speedboat.
The cut splashed out from both sides.
Alka nodded. At this moment, he was sitting on the boat, sorting out the materials in his hands, including the maps he had drawn.
The map in Aka's hand at this moment was the complete map of Zehai, except that it was not detailed enough except for the Land of Spirits.
And it’s a very old version, but I’ve seen general information about the area on it before, so it’s enough.
Turn to the next one.
This is a detailed map of the Land of Spirits, but since it is a map of the entire area, the light spots are clearly marked on it.
Alka looked at the map and frowned.
Just keep staring.
At this time, he had been using the treasure hunting vision, but the light spots on the map did not change.
The reason why he stared at it like that was because he always felt that the map was weird.
He had never felt this way before.
So what went wrong?
When your strength reaches the fourth stage, all illusions and strange feelings cannot be ignored at will.
This could be his spirituality, or a premonition brought on by a highly intensified dream, which could be fatal if ignored.
So Alka had to find the source of the problem, whatever it was.
Alka frowned because of the discomfort and irritability that was like a layer of membrane between them.
"You seem very upset. If you have any problems, you can speak up. If you don't want to talk about it, it's best to calm down. Being upset won't solve any problems."
Lucelia said as she sat next to Alka, leaning on his lap and reading a book.
Alka took a deep breath and nodded .
That nagging feeling still exists.
Alka, who had calmed down, had already begun to search for the thread of this feeling.
Slowly, his eyes became dull and his whole energy shifted to other places.
Yes, yes, that feeling is finally coming out.
There is a sense of relief that the barrier in between is about to be punctured, and a desire to vent.
Almost.
Alka took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began to mobilize this strange feeling.
He hid deeper, deeper in his own soul.
Or rather...it is one's own soul.
As his eyes opened, Alka took a deep breath and let it out heavily, turning his attention to the map he saw in his hands.
A small red cross mark appeared on the map.
A symbol that had never been seen before, a mark imagined by Alka himself, actually appeared on the map.
Alka frowned as he looked at the mark.
The mark changed from a red cross to a red circle instead of a flashing dot.
Following Alka's thoughts, it turned into a cross mark in the red circle.
Finally it returned to its original appearance, a small red cross.
It turned out not to be some ghost system, but something more hidden.
This red cross represents nothing else but the target that Alka and his team had been looking for.
The cult member of the Nafas family.
Why was this guy marked?
This ability to mark something comes from Alka's new ability after his strength increased.
The fourth stage seems to be a threshold for overall strength.
For example, the fourth stage is also called the staff bearer.
The reason is obvious. Only at this stage can one be able to master a treasure of the [Scepter] level.
Just like one has to reach the sixth stage to use a treasure of the level of "Crown". It is also called the Crown Wearer for the same reason.
At the same time, it was at the fourth stage that it seemed as if he had the ability to perfectly master a treasure of the [Holy Grail] level.
The fourth stage brings about a huge improvement in strength.
This comes from a variety of sources.
If you could mark this guy.
So what about the doll girls who stayed up there?
Alka thought looking at the map.
Sure enough, a few small stickman patterns appeared on the map.
The patterns of these stickmen overlap each other, like a tangled mess.
Alka immediately adjusted the display mode of the pattern, changing it to small green dots.
A few dots still remained at their previous campsite.
That's fine.
This is interesting.
Then Xia Deti and others, including Alka himself, appeared on the map.
They turned into triangular blue punctuation marks, piled up together, and moved at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Alka thought while looking at the map.
Where's Gilliana?
He began to experiment with whether people who were not so familiar could have marks on them.
A green triangle mark appeared on the map, on the island of the Land of Fragrance.
Flowers... never mind.
Alka originally wanted to think about whether the flower fairy could mark him, but after thinking it over he gave up.
After all, he is a god. Don't be too bold and show due respect to him.
Alka was mainly debugging what kind of people could be marked on the map by him.
Then all kinds of marks began to appear on the map, triangles, five-pointed stars, and all kinds of shapes.
They are all undergoing experiments.
Eventually, Alka came up with a rough standard through experimentation.
Whether or not they could be marked on the map by him depended on how well they knew this man.
Only when you know a certain amount of information can you be marked. If you only know a little bit, even if it is just a little bit short, it will not work.
Based on what they knew about this cult member of the Nafas family, he should not be able to be marked.
It's not up to that standard yet.
The only information they knew about this member of the Nafas family was his simple, vague appearance and his name.
Apart from that, I know nothing about his life experience or anything else.
Instead, I want to know more about the family he once belonged to, but this is useless. I must understand this person.
Because Alka had tried it on some family members and individuals he knew on the Gemini Islands, and it didn't work at all.
Whether it can be marked, Alka already has a clear feeling at this stage, even if the target is not necessarily on this map.
The reason why Alka was able to mark the origin of this cult member of the Nafas family was not because he knew him well enough.
It's another strange feeling.
Similar to a dream ... I understand.
Alka suddenly remembered that Xuan had already marked this person's dream in his dream before.
I can vaguely sense his direction, but it requires a certain distance.
Alka was already in a dream, allowing Xuan to share with him the special sensation brought by this mark.
So if you don't know a person well enough, under certain circumstances you can give him some kind of positioning mark to deepen your perception and mark his position on the map.
Alka is now very much leaning towards his own system, which may be some kind of treasure.
But he did not find any similar traces in his own body, only a feeling similar to instinct.
It's like I can walk, I can crawl, I can punch.
After struggling for a while, Alka stopped struggling.
My current strength is only at the fourth stage. Once my strength is strong enough, I will naturally have more premonitions.
Thinking about these things now will only cause me more trouble.
Looking at the red cross on the map, Alka smiled.
Come over next time.
There won't be any more of that time like this.
Apart from anything else, this guy's hiding skills are just like a mouse.
I seriously doubt that his treasure may have some ability to allow him to hide himself.
"It seems you have figured it out?" Lucelia said from the side.
"Of course, thanks for the reminder."
“Hehe.”
The Feiyan was still galloping on the sea.
…
After less than a week of rapid sailing, they were almost reaching the emerald border of the Nasw Sea.
The azure blue sea appeared in front of them, finally not the dark green sea water anymore.
"We're finally here. This blue ocean looks even more comfortable." Jason said with a smile.
The Marine trio nearby expressed their affirmative agreement with Jason's words.
They swam in the water of the swamp, and the dark green color always gave them a strange feeling.
Just like the soil is brown, and one day it suddenly turns into another bright color, it will make people feel uncomfortable.
The ship Alka was piloting showed a trace of fatigue on his face.
It wasn't just him, everyone on the boat felt the same way.
It's not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue, which comes from long-term and fast travel.
With so many people, the distance they can move around is so limited. After all, the Feiyan is running at full speed.
Everyone took turns driving day and night and basically had no rest.
Limited range of motion.
I feel a little mentally exhausted.
The sound of melodious music came, and when they heard the music, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
In the distance, splashes of water appeared on the blue sea.
A sailboat rushed out of the sea.
That strange bird-head figurehead makes everyone feel so familiar.
After a long time, they were finally going back to their ship.
Return to their home on the vast sea.
The Sound of Dawn also headed in their direction until it reached the border of green vines.
The music became passionate and cheerful.
"Speed up! Rush!" Alka said with a smile.
Hearing this, Simon smiled, and the treasure's index finger emitted a bright light and pointed at the rear thruster.
A strong feeling of pushing on my back came.
Several people standing on the thrusters nearly fell into the water.
The breaking water formed a water curtain on both sides.
The entire ship cut through the sea like a sharp sword.
Under the powerful force, it quickly reached the edge.
The thrusters slowly slowed and then fell apart.
The Feiyan slowly slowed down.
The bow of the Sound of Dawn was facing everyone, and the entrance was open.
Driving the Feiyan, he slowly slid in.
The Ocean Trio had already jumped off the ship and leapt through the sea to the long-lost deck.
The puppet girls also left, eager to go up before they even arrived.
Tree root ropes hung from the boat, and everyone grabbed one and was pulled up.
Alka smiled and silently drove the boat in.
After putting the boat in place and fixing it, he returned to the deck via the stairs.
The melodious singing around shows the joy of the sound of dawn.
In this melodious song, there is also a beautiful voice.
Julia stood at the bow, playing and singing on a harp.
It seemed as if the previous fatigue had been eliminated.
The puppet girls formed a circle around him and danced randomly to the music.
"Ah! This place is still better!" Alka lay directly on the deck and said loudly.
"We must celebrate tonight! I will use all my strength!"
Juanlu said with a big laugh, rushing straight into the kitchen he had not seen for a long time.
Finally he can show off his cooking skills in this perfectly configured place.
The ship just stayed on the sea.
Alka was in no hurry to urge the Voice of Dawn to sail.
Now he still has two valuable treasure chests on him.
The box containing the extremely precious orange divine essence was placed in the ship's treasury.
Carrying another box, he returned to the deck and sat beside the flower bed, looking at the flowers planted there.
These are what they planted before.
Originally we were planning to plant a big tree here, but there was no suitable variety.
Thinking of this, Alka opened the box.
Look at the faintly glowing seed inside.
