"Then I have a question. How long will it take for this person you mentioned to get here, and how long do we have to wait?"
Alka asked, resting his hands on the table and looking at Balazs across from him.
"I received news of his departure from the church a few days ago. Based on the distance, it will take about three to four months." Balazs thought for a moment and gave a vague answer.
Hearing this answer Alka nodded.
Three or four months.
Then you can use this time in between to go to Vastwa and get the treasure.
At their current sailing speed, it would only take about 10 days to travel from Southern Cross Island to Broken Island where Vastva was located.
The information about Vastwa's treasure has basically been discovered, and only the conditions for achieving it remain.
Alka turned to look at Baraz.
Given his current situation, it is obviously impossible for him to spare such a long time, especially to travel to Vastwa together at this time.
"It looks like you need my help with something." Balazs said after picking up the wine glass in front of him and taking a sip.
Hearing this, Alka did not hesitate: "There is something I need your treasure to help with."
Hearing this, Balazs looked at him, thought about it, and his treasure appeared in his hand.
A round stone slab with patterns like magma.
"Do you only need me to provide the treasure, or do you need me to go there in person?
If I need to go in person, you know I obviously can't be away for too long now, which will definitely arouse Creel's suspicion.
If you just need to provide treasures, then there will definitely be no problem in the short term."
Alka looked at the treasure that Baraz placed on the table and looked up at him, "I only need your treasure to complete the unlocking process of a ritual."
Hearing this, Balazs nodded in understanding. Then he pushed the treasure towards him and said, "Then you can use it. Of course, you must at least return it to me before anything happens, otherwise I won't have the strength to deal with a strong enemy."
Alka looked at the treasure in the middle and took it in his hand. The treasure was unusually heavy, like a solid stone slab.
A treasure chest that was previously used to store treasures appeared in his hand and he put the treasure into it.
"Don't worry, it will be returned in about a month." Faced with Balazs' trust, Alka couldn't be too stingy.
After thinking for a while, Alka said, "Because of this matter, I will probably need to leave Southern Cross Island for about a month. Before that, I should leave some people on our ship with me. If anything unexpected happens, you can communicate with them."
Balazs nodded and said, "If you have anything you need to tell me or need my help, just walk around the Chamber of Commerce. Then come here and wait, and I'll know. If I don't come for a long time, it means that I have something else that day and I can't leave.
If I have any news to pass on to you, I will pass it on here, and the boss will find you then."
Alka nodded to show that he understood, and after discussing some details with Baraz, they left the secret tavern on the second floor.
The place where Balazs left was obviously not the main entrance under the stairs.
Taking advantage of the night, Alka quickly returned to the boat.
However, several more conspicuous people on the ship naturally had to stay on the ship, including the crystal dragon Urulius.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Whether it's Pororo and the other three, Lucilia and the doll girl, or the crystal dragon, they are all extremely conspicuous.
The covering membrane wrapped around the treasure can only block the situation on the deck.
As Alka returned to the boat.
Everyone sat together on the deck and started discussing.
Alka also told them about today’s conversation.
"Does that mean we have to wait at least three or four months before taking action?"
"Yes, before that I decided to go to Vastwa to complete the ceremony."
Xia Daiti nodded, indeed there was no problem.
Three or four months would be enough for them to complete the ritual in Vastwa and obtain the treasure.
There is plenty of time.
"So you plan to divide everyone into two groups, one group will stay in Southern Cross Island, and the other group will go to the Broken Islands?" Jason asked.
"That's right."
After thinking for a while, Alka had a list of people to be assigned in his mind and said, "Jason, Pororo, Matresa, Lucilia. The four of you come with me."
In fact, it was because of Urulius that she had to go with him, otherwise she would have no place to hide here.
The same goes for Porro and Mathilda, both of them are the type that have trouble hiding.
The same goes for Lucelia, and naturally the puppet girls will follow suit.
The rest of the people were able to disguise themselves well at the port and were no different from ordinary people.
After listening to Alka's arrangement, everyone nodded. This was indeed a more reasonable situation.
"So when are you going to leave?"
"Right now," Alka said directly.
After all, the sooner you go, the sooner you can return, not to mention that he is holding Balazs' treasure in his hand.
Of course, the sooner you return it to others, the better.
Everyone took action immediately. Xia Daiti and a few others collected some luggage and took enough money. They made some simple but very practical disguises and got off the ship directly.
We took advantage of the night and found a nice hotel at the port and booked a few rooms.
Alka and others also controlled the ship and slowly sailed away from the port.
They sailed towards the Broken Islands. The reason they were a little impatient was that the time was just right for them to go to the Broken Islands.
When they are almost there, it will be the perfect time to land on the island, otherwise they will have to wait until the next time.
After leaving the range, Urulius was finally able to spread his wings and fly in the sky.
…
Heart of Vastevar
[Difficulty: One-fourth Strength (Three Stages)]
【Popularity: 126,000】
[Treasure information: The city-state of Vastva is an ancient city that believes in the ancient god of mystery, Four Divisions, also known as Change...
... Gather the treasures of the four great temples and you will automatically gain four points of power. In the council, scatter the treasures into the hands of each statue, chant Vasteva, and gain the hidden treasure.
The original opening method is no longer usable due to special reasons. You need to obtain other treasures related to spring, summer, and autumn, and obtain a trace of divine power, and simulate a quarter of the power in the parliamentary disc to open the treasure. 】 (Perfect)
Alka looked at the information displayed by the orange light on the map in his hand.
This was the first island they landed on when they arrived at the Boundless Ocean, and also the first scepter-level treasure they discovered.
I didn't expect that it would take so many years before I was able to come back and open it.
"We are almost there." In the sky, the crystal dragon landed directly on the deck. Jason jumped off her back and said that they had just seen the Broken Island in the sky.
Alka nodded and said loudly: "Speed ​​up, we are going at full speed!"
The singing came over with excitement, and the sound of dawn instantly increased its speed, and began to gallop forward with a sprint-like feeling.
The breaking waves splashed from both sides.
Soon the nostalgic Broken Island appeared within everyone's field of vision.
After more than half a day, they finally reached the broken island.
Alka looked at the situation in front of them and said directly, "Land right ahead."
"Aren't you going to the town?" Pororo asked from the side.
Alka shook his head. "Let's go ashore from where we first landed. It's close to where we want to go."
Soon everyone saw the gap.
The sound of dawn slowly moved over and stopped.
"Okay, let's go down."
Soon everyone jumped off the deck, and the Sound of Dawn slowly sank into the water, hiding its figure under the water.
Jason stepped on the beach, looked around, and said with some nostalgia: "This is the first island we landed on in the Endless Ocean."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, leaving a trail of footprints on the beach.
Urulius streaked across the sky, emitting its own might.
Everyone could clearly hear the sound of collision in the jungle, which obviously scared away some wild animals in the jungle.
"We had to explore very carefully before," Porro said with a smile.
As they spoke, they began to walk forward. Not long after they walked forward, they saw the ruins they had seen before.
However, there is a wooden sign erected around the ruins, on which it is clearly written that it is dangerous not to approach this place rashly.
Looking at the plaque, Alka couldn't help but smile, because he had written it.
Later, after they had a better relationship with the Broken Town, they proposed to put up such warning wooden signs around some of the more dangerous ruins.
Came to the ruins.
He turned to look at everyone: "Are you ready?"
Everyone nodded.
Lucilia, who was on Alka's shoulder, spoke the name of the temple directly in the language of Vastva. As the surrounding magic power increased, everyone was instantly pulled down.
Soon everyone was on the floor.
It was pitch black all around, but with a slight snap of his fingers, dots of light illuminated the surroundings.
Alka looked at the underground cave, and Urulius looked at the towering cave, flapped his wings and flew up, walking around the cave.
This underground cave can really be described as huge.
Looking at the rows and rows of stairs behind them extending upwards.
"Come with me."
As he spoke, he and everyone else came to the stone bridge connecting to the central altar.
Cross the stone bridge and look into the abyss below.
It extends down below, with the deepest point reaching several hundred meters.
Four gigantic statues stood around the central altar, each holding something in their empty hands.
Came to the Holy Grail statue in the center.
"What do we do now?" Jason asked.
This is also the specific operation process, and only Alka can understand it.
Alka turned to look at Pororo and Matlisa.
The two nodded and released their treasures respectively.
A bouquet of blue flowers, winter.
A sprouting bud, spring.
Alka stood there, getting a feel for the direction.
“Mattha, you stand here, underneath this statue, facing it.
Pororo, you stand under the statue to the left of Mathilda."
The two nodded and stood under their respective statues as Alka said.
Alka opened the box in his hand, which was the large treasure chest he had just bought that could store two items.
After opening it, two treasures borrowed from two parties were stored inside.
Alka took out the sickle, which represented a good harvest, and handed it to Jason.
He also handed the slate representing the heat of summer to Lucelia.
"Lucelia, you stand to the right of Mathilda, and Jason, you are under the last statue."
The two nodded, took their treasures and stood in their respective positions. The Crystal Dragon and the puppet girls standing on her body were staring at them from the stands in the distance.
Summer and autumn are here too.
After seeing everyone gathered.
Alka took a deep breath and said, "Pick up the treasure and raise it above your head."
Everyone followed Alka's words and made uniform movements.
Alka looked at the Holy Grail sculpture in front of him and walked up to it, closing his eyes and placing his hands on both sides of the Holy Grail.
Rolling pink mist emerged from his body and began to spread across the entire platform.
Little by little, points of light began to gather in front of his chest, like tiny drops of water.
The energy was so powerful that everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes.
The surrounding magic power was repelled in an instant, and some stronger and more concentrated energy began to repel the magic power and pushed it out.
A vacuum similar to magic was created around Alka.
A drop of water that was shining with golden light but seemed like a dream or an illusion was completely revealed.
This was exactly the trace of divine power that Alka extracted from the fragment of the divine nature that he had swallowed.
Controlling this drop of water, it fell into the Holy Grail like a drop of water.
In the quiet surroundings.
Water droplets falling into the bottom of a glass.
There seemed to be a sound of breaking.
Energy exploded in an instant, and the energy that rushed out filled the vacuum of magic power and pushed the surrounding magic power back a section.
The people holding the treasures high up couldn't help but squint their eyes and turn their heads slightly away. The hurricane generated by the magic power blew their cheeks and it stung a little.
The energy is concentrated in the stone carving of the Holy Grail.
Energy began to flow from the bottom of the Holy Grail, and the lines on the entire Holy Grail produced golden lines. It began to seep into the floor like liquid, and the lines on the floor were also lit up and spread outwards. It climbed up the stone pillars and then spread to the statues.
The brazier was lit and a strange flame ignited on it.
It spread all the way up, and the four statues were completely illuminated, until finally all the energy seemed to be gathered in the palms of their hands.
Pororo immediately felt that the winter flower he held above his head seemed to be being pulled by some attraction.
He quickly released his control and the Winter Flower slowly floated up.
It was wrapped in some kind of energy sphere and fell into the palm of the statue in front of him.
Then came Mathilda.
It seemed that because it was not the original version, it took a long time for the tender bud in her hand to float up and fall into her palm.
As the treasure in her hand floated up, the treasures of the other two people also began to float slowly.
When the four treasures fell completely into his palm, the energy within the treasures of the four seasons began to be extracted.
The acquired energy gathered in the air and absorbed the magic power that had been expelled before.
It gathered into a stream, then formed into a straight line that connected to the stone sculpture of the Holy Grail in front of Alka.
The energy mixed with the little bit of divine power that had been flowing inside it before, and began to fill the entire cup.
Increasingly high concentrations of energy began to rise around, and a large amount of light appeared in the Holy Grail.
The four-color energies mixed with the central color, producing a total of five colors, which began to rotate and merge.
A vortex of highly concentrated liquid energy appeared in the cup.
As the vortex began to spin, the surrounding magic power was pulled once again.
Some cracks in the stone walls and caves were filled with some kind of natural music played by the wind, along with the swirling hurricane.
The music echoed in the underground hall, and everyone couldn't help but look up and watch.
Feel the uniqueness of this music.
It is wild and natural, yet has a clear sense of worship.
It's a song of praise of some kind.
The design used by the people who built this temple hall can be described as ingenious.
The vortex became more and more violent.
Even the crowd felt the chaos in the surrounding space, as if something was about to be pulled out from the armor layer of the space.
It seems that the ceremony was successful.
The energy in the Holy Grail began to disappear layer by layer as it rotated.
Until it disappears completely.
An object shining with brilliant light appeared.
