Chapter 382 Arrival
There are more and more ships around.
From the coming and going of these ships, we can tell that they are not far from the Twin Islands and are expected to arrive tonight.
"So handsome. Oh, I really regret this." Jason leaned on the crystal dragon and looked at the situation on the deck with regret.
Feeling extremely sorry.
"What's so handsome about it? It stinks!" Urulius behind him turned the faucet and said with disgust.
At this moment, a bloody figure on the deck was flashing around the mast, the side of the ship, and the deck, dragging a bloody trail.
There was a flash of knife light, and a smooth cut appeared on the target on the deck.
Narvi, wearing a blood-red cloak, revealed himself behind the target.
That bloody figure looked unusually cool and elegant.
And he has basically mastered this treasure and is using it in depth.
From this we can see that the way each treasure is used by different owners seems to be different.
And they also made new discoveries.
The theory about the aura on treasures and the reason why it can be said that a family having a treasure is very advantageous.
Blood relationships can be clearly reflected in treasures.
The strong personal aura that should have taken 1-2 years to dissipate was something that Narvi was able to master with ease, even though the aura was still there.
After their research, they found that the aura left by Narvi on the treasure had a very high degree of overlap with the aura of the treasure itself.
Although there are still differences, the impact of these differences is not very large.
After Narvi used it for about 10 days, the difference in smell had been eliminated.
And the aura left on it completely became Narvi's.
The reason for this situation is very clear, because the previous generation's owner was Narvi's younger brother.
You have to know that they have an extremely close blood relationship because they are biological brothers.
Born from the same father and mother.
This certainly can't be considered a major discovery for them. But they were actually unaware of this situation.
That means this information must have been intentionally hidden.
This is indeed a good thing for those families, as it means that a treasure can be seamlessly connected.
What matters most is the superposition of the aura on the treasures. That is to say, if a treasure stays in the same family long enough, it will almost always be used seamlessly.
When the family fell into poverty or when the treasure was acquired by an outsider, the remaining aura on it would be enough for the acquirer to spend a long time to eliminate the personal aura on it.
This can be considered an alternative means of protection, which can really disgust others.
A family can survive for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It may take more than ten years or even decades just to eliminate the above aura.
Others might be able to accept it, but for Alka and the others, this is indeed a very disgusting method.
"Can't the bloody smell from using the treasure be removed? It's a bit too strong." Xia Daiti asked while leaning against the mast nearby.
Juanlu, who was also watching nearby, also said, “I remember the last time your brother attacked us, the bloody smell of the treasure was very faint, and you could only smell it when you got close.”
And we also have to rule out the possibility that the bloody smell is caused by other reasons.
Hearing what the two said, Narvi shook his head.
“Not now. The bloody smell emitted by using this treasure seems difficult to remove at this stage.
We can only see if we can control it a little after we master it. ”
"It should be fine." Alka said beside him.
Because the fourth stage is the stage where you can completely master protection and easily solve some minor side effects brought by treasures.
And Kaluto happened to be at this stage before.
Narvi nodded, stood up and looked outside.
Not far away, a huge merchant ship passed by them.
"Is it almost there?"
There was a hint of regret in his voice.
Their voyage took about a month.
This is even after the speed of Sound of Dawn has been increased. In the past, it might have taken them about a month and a half.
This also shows that the new landmark island in the Land of Spirits is quite close to the Double Finger Island.
No two landmark islands are so close together.
"Yes, it should be here tonight," Alka replied.
Time passed quickly, and within a few hours, they could see the Twin Islands in the distance.
This time they happened to be at the entrance of the Twin Islands, and they didn't have to go around to the other side like before.
After the ship was inspected, it slowly sailed into the sea channel and entered the central bay.
The boat docked under the personnel bearing the emblem of the Church of Our Lady.
This time the ship was lightly camouflaged, and the gems on the central treasure tree were completely hidden unless one boarded the ship.
It also reduces some of the burden on port staff.
They no longer needed to send additional men to guard Alka and his ship.
"When are you planning to leave?" Jason asked Narvi beside him.
Once we reach the shore, it is naturally time to say goodbye.
Narvi looked at the ring on his hand, which contained his brother's body.
He sighed and said, "We'll pack up and leave soon. Their souls can't wait any longer. They need a true memorial service."
Hearing this, Jason gave him a simple hug as a farewell.
Everyone said goodbye to Narvi.
After all, we have been working together for such a long time that we can be considered very good friends.
"Then I will leave you my friends. I hope we can meet again in the Land of All Spirits next time."
Narvi said as he waved at them from the shore and walked towards a place not far away.
There are also scheduled boats to the Twin Islands.
At this moment, the curtain of the sky was covered and night fell.
"What about us? Any plans?"
Shadaiti asked, looking at Alka.
Alka looked at everyone, pointed to the captain's room and walked over and said, "Okay, come in and have a small meeting to sort out the next itinerary."
People filed in, sat around the huge round table in the center and began to communicate with each other.
Alka tapped the table lightly and began to speak.
"We still have two things to do. One is that Vastva's scepter-level treasure is still waiting for us to take."
Everyone nodded. The first island they arrived at had the scepter-level treasure that they first knew about.
"But have we met the necessary conditions?" Simon asked.
You know, the conditions required for Vasteva's scepter-level treasure are a bit too harsh.
"The treasures of the four seasons and the power of God." Alka narrated with a smile, then pointed at himself.
"I can use a little bit of divine power." This is exactly what comes from the fragments of the godhead.
"Pororo is a treasure that symbolizes winter." There is no doubt that they all know this.
"Matthia's new treasure will symbolize spring."
After saying this, everyone looked at Mathilda.
"Is it possible?" Xia Dai asked.
Alka nodded: "Don't worry, it's okay."
"What about the remaining two?"
“We can seek help from Our Lady Church for the treasure that symbolizes autumn,” Alka said.
After hearing this, everyone thought about it for a moment.
Indeed, if one really asks which force is most likely to possess the treasure that symbolizes autumn, the Church of Our Lady would definitely be the first choice.
"And summer treasure, remember our little enemy on Southern Cross Island?"
“You mean the king’s brother?” Jason asked.
That person did cause them quite a bit of trouble at that time.
But this may be a blessing in disguise for Alka.
"Does one of his treasures represent summer?"
Alka shook his head. "No, it wasn't him. It was Baraz. Remember?"
When the name came out, everyone thought about it for a second and then remembered this person.
"You mean the merchant who suffered with us?"
"Yes, that's him."
Everyone had a deep impression of this man. After all, in the end, Baraz risked his life to stay by the enemy's side for revenge.
I don’t know what his specific situation is now.
Now they have the strength to seek revenge.
"His treasure was used in front of us before, and it emitted fire. It should be related to summer."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Then we can kill that damn guy while we're at it," Jason said.
"That's right."
Then Alka continued, "After that we have to go to the Trial Tower again. We have reached the fourth stage, the stage where we can fully control the treasure. It is time to start the final trial."
Those who pass the trial will obtain the appropriate divine essence.
They will not forget this.
Those who have cleared the entire trial tower will directly receive a scepter-level divine essence. This is the final reward for clearing the entire trial tower.
And only once.
To ensure clearance, Alka must reach perfection in all four stages, or be close to perfection.
So I put it after the Vastwa itinerary.
"During the time on the Gemini Islands, Xia Daiti was responsible for selling those valuables." Alka said to Xia Daiti.
You have to know that in addition to gold coins, there are many valuable items in their treasure house, all of which need to be sold, and the Gemini Islands are very suitable.
After all, this is an island with two churches of God. The safe environment naturally and inevitably leads to the prosperity of trade here.
If you can buy most things, you can naturally get a lot of treasures.
After all, the treasures on their ship that need to be sold must be worth tens of thousands of gold sails.
It's not something that any random chamber of commerce can just take over.
Xia Daiti nodded.
"It's rare to have so much money, it's time for others to spend it, right?"
Alka smiled and said, "I think you can buy most of the things you want in Twin Islands."
"Gem! I want gems!"
Urulius' voice came from the other side of the door.
Jason held his forehead helplessly.
Everyone just smiled at this.
"By the way, I have some good news, but it's not completely confirmed yet. I'll tell you later." Alka suddenly thought of something, stood up and said with a smile.
"Are you keeping me in suspense? You're like a little child." Xia Daiti stood up speechlessly and rolled his eyes.
"What news? Is it so confidential?"
Simon asked curiously.
If Alkadu said it was good news, then the news would definitely be a surprise.
Although some people are tough in words, you can feel their curiosity.
Alka smiled and waved his hand: "Since it's a secret, I can't say more."
"Tsk, that's boring."
Everyone walked out of the door.
…
Shortly after dawn the next day, Alka left the Sound of Dawn alone and walked towards the Church of Our Lady.
Everyone started doing their own things.
Through the side door of the cathedral, Alka walked inside.
"Ooooh! Look who it is? Here comes the hero!"
At this moment, a knight captain who seemed to be on duty in the church with his team looked at Alka, walked over with a big laugh and said.
It was the captain Marlowe whom Alka had seen and known several times at the port.
Alka gave him a brief hug.
"Big hero? Are you talking about me?"
Alka asked, somewhat confused.
Marlowe nodded, then patted him on the shoulder: "Of course it's you, young man. What you did in Zehai has long been known. Your team is now quite well-known in this area."
Hearing this, Alka frowned again in confusion.
"Did the news spread so quickly?" You know, their team should be the first to leave.
There should be no team that returns to a dual-coaching role faster than them.
"Well, actually only a few of us know about it." Marlowe smiled awkwardly.
"The Silent Saint and some of her accompanying priests returned one step ahead via teleportation.
Those guys have been talking about the situation of your team, and I have a general understanding of it.
You are really an amazing group of young people." Marlowe explained.
After hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding.
So only some internal personnel knew about it, which was normal. Although some people from the Land of All Spirits began to return later.
The deeds of Alka and his companions will surely spread.
Alka doesn't mind the increase in fame.
After all, when sailing on the sea, you will always have some money, power, influence and fame.
Especially in terms of fame, sailing all the way. Unless you are unknown, your deeds will naturally be passed on along with what you have done.
Thinking of this, Alka smiled and then asked, " I came here to find the archbishop."
"The Archbishop? The Archbishop is up there. Do you want me to take you there?"
Hearing this, Alka nodded: "That's great."
After all, this damn church is so complicated and winding, and I can't rashly expand my perception here.
"Come on, then."
After saying this, Marlowe briefly spoke to the soldier next to him, then took Alka upstairs and walked around the hanging ladder next to him.
After reaching the second floor, I walked through the corridor and knocked on the door.
"Who?" The voice from inside did not seem to be the archbishop.
Alka remembered the archbishop's voice quite clearly, which was a little peculiar.
And it was clearly the voice of a young girl.
"It's the Saint of Shining Blade." Malo whispered beside Alka.
Someone I don't know at all.
Then he answered the door, "Lord Alka has returned, and he wants to see the Archbishop."
"Come in." came the Archbishop's voice.
Marlowe opened the door and walked in with Alka.
Then he politely nodded to the two people inside, said goodbye and left, closing the door behind him.
Alka comes in and takes a look.
The archbishop was sitting at a large wooden table, seemingly writing something. The tapestry behind him was embroidered with a classic pattern of the Virgin Mary holding her child and standing in a wheat field.
Next to him was the girl who had just spoken.
This girl was about 1.8 meters tall, with very bright blonde hair. What caught people's attention was that she was wearing a metal eye patch.
There are strong religious patterns on the eye mask.
On her head she wore a metal laurel wreath in the shape of wheat ears, inlaid with many gems.
He was wearing a close-fitting metal soft armor that looked practical and gorgeous, and a slender sword was slung across his waist.
The scabbard that holds the sword is engraved with dense patterns.
Through the table, Alka could see that there was also a sword on the other side of her, but it was blocked and Alka could not see it clearly.
"I hope you can give this matter more consideration. I'll take my leave first." The girl who was called the Saint of Light Blade by Malo left.
The Archbishop simply nodded: "I will consider your suggestion."
He waited until the saint left before turning to look at Alka.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"You have performed very well in the Land of Spirits. Thank you for helping Arati and those church members."
Hearing this, Alka quickly said, "I am also a member of the church. This is what I should do."
"You are right. We should help each other." The archbishop said with a smile.
"So is there anything I can do to help you?" the archbishop asked with a smile as he stood up from his seat.
Alka smiled, and in a flash a heavy book appeared in his hand.
"I have a small request."
As he said this, he placed the book in his hand on the table.
When Alka took out the book, the archbishop's eyes were fixed on it without moving.
He walked over involuntarily and touched the cover of the book.
After confirming the authenticity of the book, he forced himself to take his hand back and sighed heavily.
"Has anyone ever told you that your bribery skills have become a little stiff?"
Hearing this, Alka just smiled and said, "As long as the bribe is worth enough, a small flaw can be completely covered up, right?"
"Yes, although he is a young man, he is indeed very perceptive. I have to say that this book really hits my heart. I don't think any church member would refuse it."
The book that Alka took out was none other than the handwritten copy of the ancient Stone Mother's scriptures that he had taken from the Nafas family's treasury.
"Tell me, as long as it does not violate the church's doctrine, I will consider providing you with sufficient help."
The Archbishop said as he placed his hand on the book and looked at Alka.
