Chapter 396: The Church of the Southern Cross

The sunlight shines through the window.

Beams of golden light shone through the gaps in the curtains and hit the bed.

Outside, there were ships coming and going, as well as the noisy sounds from the port, but none of these noisy sounds could penetrate into the room through the front windows.

The bedroom was still relatively quiet.

Alka, who was sleeping on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

He rolled over, tucked the quilt under him, and then picked up a pillow to cover his head.

After a long while he suddenly sat up.

Following the strange cry, he stretched lazily.

"Cool!"

Alka looked at the hourglass next to him that was used to tell time.

I slept for more than ten hours.

I slept almost the whole night. You know, after being in the vast sea for so long, this might be the first time I slept a whole night.

Alka can continue to sleep in his dreams, entering a very deep sleep, and recovering his mental and physical state with extremely fast efficiency.

This is a talent that Simon cannot even envy.

Plus, his strength has already reached the fourth stage.

For him, more than ten hours of sleep is already very long.

But correspondingly, he hasn't slept for a long time.

He jumped out of bed, washed, put on his clothes and went to the deck.

When he came to the restaurant on the stern deck.

I heard a conversation coming from inside.

"According to the theory of the connection between soul and body, we can achieve the storage of physical strength through certain means." Lucelia's voice came.

And in front of her was Mathilda, with whom she was communicating.

"But your current body is made up of the soul doll and the treasure. It doesn't completely meet the theoretical goals of the experiment. We need more research to achieve the effect you want, don't we?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Alka probably knew what they were talking about.

To put it simply, it allows Lucilia to leave her current body and temporarily live in a temporary body.

And preserve her current specific instance intact.

Then reconstruct her treasure.

After all, the [Bloody Team Flag] doesn't quite fit the bill, whether it's the material of the treasure or its symbolic meaning.

This somewhat limits Lucilia's strength, and the most important problem is that it limits the puppet girls.

Because in Wattawa's extensive research records, they discovered how to enlighten the true souls of soulless things.

Using this technology, several people agreed that they could transform the puppet girls into real creatures with souls.

This function had already been realized in the former Vastwas. They would use this artificial soul technology to construct construct stewards to help them in war, management, and manufacturing.

That's the magic version of artificial intelligence.

But the technology is not mature and the treasures are limited.

But this thing is not their research focus now.

Alka goes inside.

He sat down at his seat, picked up the food in front of him and started eating.

Looking at Xia Daiti who was thinking about something next to him.

Asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Hearing this, Xiadaiti realized that Alka had actually come in.

She had just been in a daze.

"Weren't we supposed to draw a general map of the Vastva city-state?"

Alka nodded, he did ask Xia Daiti to do this.

"Although the Vastwa people recycled many of the building materials and demolished the damaged buildings.

Of course, many of the excavated foundations and basements of the once glorious Goose City are still preserved. There are a large number of underground relics buried underground in Vastwa.

And the problem is that these underground ruins seem to have strange functions. We have also found some functions in many documents, but you know they have no magic power now. "

"So the most important thing for us now is to let the Vast people gradually adapt to magic, and then revive the earth inside, right?" Alka asked.

Xia Daiti nodded.

Simply put, the former city-state of Vastva was an advanced city where magic and constructs coexisted.

There are many powerful basic buildings, but these things have a basic requirement, that is, magic power.

According to Xia Daiti's investigation, the original plans of many buildings may still be usable.

So the revival of magic power is crucial.

Alka has the ability to do so, but he has to consider the Vastvas within.

We can't kill all the Vastwa people just to revive them, right?

He is not that crazy yet.

Moreover, this is a completely meaningless behavior, and the benefits between the two are completely disproportionate.

And after spending some time together, I have to admit that the Vastva people have an innate talent in the study of constructs and magic.

Alka and the others were consciously or unconsciously deeply bound to this race, so that when this race overcame various difficulties and could move freely outside, they would also be deeply bound together.

They are increasing their status and prestige among the Vastwa race.

What they are doing now is investing in the future of the Vastwa people, and the Vastwa people really need them now.

The two have reached a tacit understanding to some extent, and are currently fighting very hard with each other.

Alka and his companions coveted the talents, technology, historical materials and various documents of the Vastva people.

The Vastwa need the strength and protection of the Alkat.

This is a bit too outrageous for a race that has been isolated from the rest of the world for tens of thousands of years.

All this is thanks to their complete, detailed and well-preserved historical records and research documents.

And Alka and the others have always known that putting the world together is not something that they can do just by themselves.

From this we can see how precious Vasteva, which was left over from before the War of Gods, is.

Moreover, Alka and the others have a large number of treasures, but the enlightenment quotas on them have almost not been used at all. This is an excellent opportunity.

While they were talking, Simon finally woke up and walked in, rubbing his head.

"Wouldn't you like to get some more sleep?" Alka asked, looking at Simon.

Although he went to bed later than Simon , he was able to have a deep sleep in his dreams after all.

"No, there are important things waiting for me."

"I haven't asked you yet, what were you researching before?"

"Magic power gathering technology, the technology of gathering magic stone, remember?"

Hearing this, everyone present nodded. They remembered this technique very clearly. After all, it was this technique that allowed them to improve their strength so quickly.

It can be regarded as the foundation of their team.

"Magic batteries are an extension of this technology. If we study it thoroughly, we will be able to mass-produce magic gathering stones, or even produce higher-level, fully customized magic gathering stones." Simon became more and more excited as he spoke.

Everyone understood immediately.

Alka couldn't help but think of space expansion technology, space interlayer manufacturing technology, and the most powerful long-distance transmission technology they had seen.

You know, this is the research strength of the Vastwa people.

"No, we have to train the current Vastwa people. Otherwise, we can't reproduce so many experimental results by ourselves." Alka said, holding his head.

Everyone nodded at this.

After dinner, everyone started to get busy again.

Only Alka did not enter the inner space again, but entered the dream. And he did not sink into his own dreamland, but sank into the opposite of the reality where he was at this moment.

He needed to observe something.

Looking at the large number of dream bubbles floating around.

Alka ignored all this and took a step forward. His entire body turned into a cloud and flew quickly forward.

Soon they arrived at another place where a large number of dream bubbles gathered.

Then I saw a bubble in the center.

The volume of this bubble is very large, and its size can be used to roughly judge the strength of its owner in reality, which is about the fifth stage.

Next to the bubble, there is another bubble like this.

There is no doubt that this bubble is the goal of Alkata's trip, Kriel's dream.

Ever since learning some information about Kriel from Baraz, Alka has been wondering when to visit him in his dream.

But the problem is that the royal family that Kriel belongs to once signed a contract with a king in a dream.

There must be spells or documents related to dreams.

You must have taken protective measures against your dreams.

You should know that the bubbles in dreams are the reflection of real life in dreams.

In the dream, there are extremely powerful rules and restrictions that protect the dream bubble.

Otherwise, the creatures in the dream would be able to do whatever they wanted with these people's minds.

Alka thought about it as he looked at his dream bubble, and brought out a large cloud of pink mist, which began to wrap up the entire dream.

A misty pink ball condensed and probed into the dream.

However, the pink ball did not enter at all, but bounced out directly.

"There is protection indeed."

Alka thought about it, and came to Bubble himself, exploring the space where he wanted to extend his arm into the dream.

However, as soon as he put his hand in, the bubble exploded and disappeared right in front of him.

In reality, Creel suddenly woke up from the bed and opened his eyes.

"A nightmare?"

After a while, he closed his eyes again.

Obviously he didn't even know what happened in his dream.

Alka looked at the dream bubble that had reappeared in front of him, floating beside it with his arms folded, and this time he did not continue to test it.

He never imagined that he could use this method to avoid dreams and being explored by others.

The method can be described as simple and practical, but one has to admire this method, which is indeed very practical.

Even if you are the king of dreams, as long as the body in reality wakes up and the dream bubble bursts, you can do nothing.

This is the most basic rule for the operation of the dream world.

Alka is not yet strong enough to break the rules in the dream.

Dreams are much more orderly than reality.

It's somewhat ironic.

After thinking for a moment, Alka looked at the other dream bubbles next to his bubble.

Start picking them one by one.

Since Kriel's dream bubble was well protected, he didn't believe that anyone else had such ability.

Sure enough, the bubbles around it were easy to get in.

This means that even Kriel herself didn't know that her dreams were protected, and she might only have a vague understanding of dreams, which is a good thing.

Alka began to investigate one by one.

The main purpose was to inquire about Kriel's recent secret operations and what he was preparing for.

The answer was that Kimiel was in contact with someone and was making some preparations.

It is very secretive, even the closest people cannot know it.

It seems that Kriel is hiding very deeply, and we can only find a way to break through head-on.

Arka returned to reality and sat in the captain's room, thinking.

We must be 100% sure to kill Kriel. If we spend so much time and he runs away, it will not be worth it.

It is known that Kriel's strength is at the fifth stage, and at most he has just established his foothold at this stage. There are two treasures used, one is related to space, which allows him to cross space, and the other is a treasure that can exert gravity-like force.

According to the previous battle and the information given by Balazs, the space-related treasures are obviously more auxiliary in nature.

Features without attack are used for long-distance teleportation or breaking through space to escape.

It did not break up the space or use space to cause damage. The main means of attack came from another treasure that could create gravity or impact force.

This treasure can reduce his own gravity and then exert pressure on the enemy.

The advantages of this increase and decrease were instantly widened, and he was also able to integrate pressure into his attacks, making his attacks deal heavy blows from a distance.

Mainly, it is extremely difficult to defend against because it is invisible to the naked eye.

Combined with the power of the treasure, what stands out in the battle is simplicity, practicality, brutality and power.

The two treasures can be said to complement each other.

"First of all, in order to escape, we must limit his spatial ability." Having said this, Alka touched his left eye.

Can your own treasure be restricted?

The main ability of the Heart of Vasteva is a space that is like a small world.

In this space, Alka has a very strong ability to shape space.

The accompanying ability is the ability of space.

Probably it is to expand the space and create spatial gaps.

It is also of an auxiliary nature, if the mirror and the dream catcher's ability can be used to achieve unexpected teleportation.

But it does not limit other people's ability to transmit in space.

Simply put, this scepter-level treasure can be classified as a functional treasure.

"Why is it that the treasures I get every time are always of this kind?" Alka scratched his hair and said a little depressed.

The galaxy I got before was very powerful in frontal combat, but it just didn't match up.

Heart of Vastevar matches it, but is purely functional.

In battle, the combined effects of the mirror and the dream catcher must be used to play an effective role .

Of course, it is also possible that Alka is only at the fourth stage after all, and is at a stage where he can just master the scepter and treasures. Without full mastery, it is possible that there may not be a very good situation.

But this is just self-consolation.

We have to find a way to limit his ability to escape through space.

Lock it in a dream?

No, it's not safe enough.

Alka made a note of this, it was the most important point.

Just like he knew Kriel's abilities, Kriel had fought him before and was also impressed by his treasure.

For example, the ability to cause deception, to drag into a dream fog, and to teleport through a mirror.

But what he couldn't imagine was that these abilities had already been comprehensively enhanced.

With the Heart of Vasteva, there is no need to create a physical mirror to teleport.

Overall, this was a surprise attack in which the enemy attacked in the open while we attacked in secret.

It is not necessary for him to deliver the fatal blow himself. He can rely on the temporary power of dreams to raise his strength to the fifth stage. Then he firmly restrained Kriel.

To be honest, my ability when playing as a support can indeed be described as strong.

With Xia Daiti's current strength, he can definitely deal a fatal blow.

Never underestimate the impact of a meteor.

Well... we need to plan it carefully.

Just like that, Alka sat in silence.

Thinking silently.

…

With the letter from Balazs.

Alka led Shadeti and Lucilia to the direction of the capital. They had the pass given by Baraz in their hands.

And the place they were going to was the Church of Our Lady in the royal capital, which was in line with their status.

Soon they saw a huge city surrounded by walls made of gray-white stones at the end of the avenue.

There are various buildings inside, but the materials and walls used are unified. This is a gray and white city.

Facing the guard's interrogation, Alka handed him the pass given by Balazs and walked in safely.

It must be said that the population, trade, and architectural styles are not much different from those of the port. In fact, it is not as good as the port in terms of population and trade. It can only be said that it seems to be more prosperous.

Although you can still see poor people in tattered clothes, there are far fewer of them compared to the port.

Crossing the street, Alka saw the Church of Our Lady on the corner after asking.

Looking at the church in front of me.

To be honest, Alka thought he was back at his home sea.

How many years had it been since he had seen a chapel like this?

It can probably only be seen on some small islands in the Home Sea.

From this we can also see that the missionary work of the Church of Our Lady here was obviously not very successful.

When Alka and the others pushed open the door and walked in, the prayer hall was empty.

Alka remembered that it was almost time for prayer.

Then an old man wearing the robe of the Church of Our Lady walked out from the wooden door next to him.

"Hmm? Excuse me..."

He was about to say something when he realized something was wrong.
