Chapter 432 Return
Alka was in the forging hall under the cabin. At this time, the forging hall was much larger than before because of the expansion of space.
He held a jade ball as white as jade in his hand and began to integrate the essence of divinity into it through rituals and means.
With the integration of divine essence, the ordinary jade ball made of a large amount of precious materials began to have different characteristics.
It began to transform from a pure white jade shape, and from a solid sphere, into a hazy cloud shape.
Light gray smoke appeared on the sphere and surrounded it, and the light gray smoke condensed towards the center of the sphere.
It becomes a strange color that is gray with a hint of green, and seems to be transforming into blue.
It feels like a soul.
The entire sphere seemed to have lost its substance, like a ball made of clouds and mist, and even slowly floated up from the platform where it was placed.
Alka could clearly see the soul fluctuations brought by this sphere.
As the divine essence was perfectly integrated into it, such changes immediately dissipated and the treasure became restrained.
The soul-like ball of mist turned into a physical entity again, but this time the white jade ball turned into a gray jade-like ball.
Looking at the ball in this jade, it gives people the feeling that it is just an ordinary handicraft made of some inferior jade block.
This treasure is finally completed.
This treasure, prepared for Lucelia, can also be made with the materials on their ship.
Alka looked at the treasure and blinked.
Just like what Alka had seen before, it had the same function of modifying and changing the soul.
Very blurry.
It seems that you need to rely entirely on your own ideas and operations to produce specific functions.
After all, under normal circumstances, no race or spell can operate on the soul, except for one's own soul.
Or it can be said that for some animal souls that have no will, otherwise the mystery of the soul is the deepest and most rigorous.
The only way Alka could think of using it now was to give his attack the ability to directly attack the soul.
Or in other words, enhance any defensive capabilities against the soul.
It seems that the others must have more detailed and useful operations, but Alka, who has not done in-depth research on the soul, is not so good.
Holding the treasure, Alka put it into the box and then came to the deck.
I just happened to see Lucelia under the big tree, and most of the others were also on the deck.
Alka came to Lucilia with the box and waved it in front of her.
Not only Lucelia saw this thing, but everyone else gathered around, because this was obviously the box used to store treasures.
This also means that Lucilia's treasure has been completed.
As the box opened, the gray jade ball was revealed.
"Why do my treasures always look so cheap?" Lucilia couldn't help but complain as she looked at the gray jade ball.
But he still picked up the sphere with both hands.
Without saying anything, he directly wrapped his magic power around it and took control of it.
As the magic power poured in, the gray jade ball transformed again into the form that Alka had taken when it merged before.
This time, more gray-green soul-like cloud energy floated out and completely enveloped Lucelia.
Alka even saw Lucilia's soul slightly reflected from her body, just like when she was just a soul without a body.
As the treasure was completely mastered, the mist began to dissipate, and the entire treasure directly melted into Lucelia's body.
Lucilia opened her eyes, and they turned into radiating smoke. She closed her eyes and controlled herself for a long time before returning to her original state.
"This treasure provides some means to manipulate the soul. The effects that used to require various rituals, external forces, or even spells to achieve can now be accomplished directly through the abilities given by the treasure.
And it should be more effective and more in-depth than these methods.
However, how to use it specifically can only be planned after you become proficient in it.”
Lucelia said.
This kind of treasure has a high degree of freedom. How to use the treasure to achieve the desired effect depends entirely on the knowledge and ideas of the person who possesses the treasure.
To put it in a simpler way, it is a bit like a treasure that can control fire.
There are many treasures that can control fire, but their directions may be different.
This treasure is somewhat similar to this situation, and it is related to the control of the soul, which is not as simple and clear as the elements.
There are far fewer books on the study of the soul than on its elements .
Everyone nodded in understanding.
However, Lucilia still smiled and said, "Although she cannot fully display her abilities now, she is already very suitable for my Puppet Knights."
Obviously, this treasure can help the puppet girls possess their own true souls faster and more perfectly.
As everyone was talking on the boat, a merchant ship appeared in the sea a few kilometers away.
The appearance of the merchant ship made everyone look over there. After all, they had not seen other people for a long time.
"There is a merchant ship. It seems to belong to a chamber of commerce on the Twin Islands. I seem to have seen that logo." Jason said, squinting his eyes as he looked at the sailboat in the distance.
"It looks like we're about to reach the Twin Islands." Alka breathed a sigh of relief at this scene.
Finally, we are going back to the Twin Islands.
Xia Daiti took out a notebook and some measuring tools, looked at them and said, "It's almost there. We will be able to arrive tomorrow at the latest."
Hearing this, everyone smiled without exception. After all, they were about to reach the island and they had been sailing on the sea for too long.
…
The next day, the curtain was just lifted on the genius.
Alka and his friends are about to arrive at the Gemini Islands.
The vast island and the ships coming and going around it can be seen from afar.
Arriving here, they, who were often lonely at sea, finally returned to the lively area.
The coming and going of ships and the various sounds made them feel at home.
This time, they didn't go around in circles at all, as they were already familiar with the route. They came directly to the entrance of the Twin Islands and entered the central port through the straight sea route.
As soon as the boat stopped at the shore, the guards outside came over.
"Arka?"
This is a three-person team, and the leader also controls the floating pen and notebook.
Alka stuck his head out over the side of the boat and looked over.
"Kant, long time no see. Is it your turn on duty today?"
They were all church acquaintances I had known before.
"It's you guys. I haven't seen you guys for a long time. I thought you guys had already left and gone to someplace far away."
This kind of thing is common at sea, not to mention for a treasure hunting group like Alka's, it is a very normal thing.
After all, in the entire Infinite Ocean, the Twin Islands are not even among the top 10 prosperous islands.
Although it is much more prosperous than most islands.
"I did go to a farther place, but I still came here because I'm familiar with this place." Alka said with a smile.
"It's reassuring to see you return safely, so I won't bother you anymore."
Kant said, pressing a safe mark on the bow.
Although Alka and his companions reached the shore, they did not get off the ship immediately, but gathered in the captain's room.
“Although we have already docked, we still need to do some necessary things first. We may stay in the Twin Islands for a long time this time.
First of all, the materials we needed before will be given to you, Simon." Alka said, looking at Simon.
Simon nodded. These were all for the treasures they had not yet made. After all, there were really not many materials left on the ship.
This time we must make a big purchase.
"There are also supplies that the Vastwa people need that need to be replenished. I'll leave these to Xia Dai to help you."
Xia Daiti also nodded.
"Others should take a rest and have some fun. It's a rare opportunity for you to come back."
After discussing some more details, the meeting was disbanded.
Urulius transformed into a human form and pulled Jason off the boat, heading straight for the island.
The former Urulius couldn't just wander around the Gemini Island, she was a giant dragon after all. And although the Gemini Island was prosperous and had a strong enough military force, most of the people were still just civilians, and they couldn't stand a giant dragon flying around over their heads.
Although her appearance is strange now that she has transformed into a human form, it is much better than before. Moreover, this is the Twin Islands, and there are countless people with strange appearances. It is impossible for the doll girls to cause too much waves here.
Play when you should play, work when you should work. Alka carried the treasure box and went straight to the church. In the box was the Scythe of Harvest that had been stored for a long time.
It's time to return this treasure.
"Arka? When did you come back?"
As soon as he entered the church, an acquaintance saw Alka and asked in surprise.
"I just arrived. Is the Archbishop here?"
Hearing this question, the man shook his head: "I thought you were not coming back. The Archbishop seems to be upstairs, but I'm not sure. You can ask other people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard next to him said directly: "It's up there."
"Thanks, I have something else to do."
Alka said as he carried the box and went upstairs. He no longer needed someone to take the box on his behalf as before, and went straight to the inner reception room where the archbishop was most likely to appear and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The voice that came from inside was the archbishop's unique low voice.
Alka opened the door and went inside.
The archbishop was currently buried in his desk, writing something without even raising his head.
After about 10 seconds, he looked up to see who was coming.
"Arka? You're finally back. I thought you ran away with the treasure. I can't explain to him."
The archbishop stood up, pushed away his chair, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Alka also smiled.
"How is that possible? I'm not such a dishonest person."
As he spoke, he walked forward and gave the archbishop a brief hug.
The Archbishop looked at Alka in the present.
He shook his head with a strange emotion.
"That's really amazing. How long have we not seen each other?"
"It's been almost three years, or more than three years?"
"Yeah, it's been that long. It seems so long, but it also seems so short."
The Archbishop sighed, then looked at Alka and said, "Last time you were still at stage four, and now you are already at stage five."
As he said this, he shook his head helplessly.
The speed of promotion is really too fast.
Alka smiled and said nothing more, sitting at the coffee table next to him with the archbishop.
He placed the box on the table and opened it.
The archbishop looked at the Scythe of Harvest in the box, and saw that the seal he had previously made on the treasure was still intact, and nodded.
Seeing the Archbishop nod, Alka replaced the lid and then pushed it forward.
"Thank you again for your help. This help is very important to me."
The archbishop smiled and nodded, waved his hand and patted the box.
“It’s just a matter of each taking what they need.”
As he spoke, he placed his hand on the box and looked at Alka: "When are you going to leave this time? Or are you going to rest on the island for a while?"
After all, I only came back once in so many years.
"Maybe I'll stay on the Gemini Islands for a year." Alka said after thinking for a while.
It takes time to purchase enough materials, and there are so many treasures that need to be constructed. Especially there is a scepter-level treasure, all of which take time.
It's just right that I can wait for my companions to improve their strength to the fifth stage within this year.
"Oh, that's good. You must have done a lot of things outside this time. Archbishop Charles Fan of Longmeis Island asked me to thank you on his behalf."
"What is this?" Alka thought about it carefully and realized that he had never heard of this name.
The main character smiled and said, “He has a very proud disciple, who is a saint of the Virgin Mary and a prince of an island.
I heard that this prince has become king, and it was also with your help, wasn't it? "
Hearing this, Alka suddenly realized what was going on.
It seems that the information within the church is very well-informed, and the archbishop obviously knew what he was doing on Southern Cross Island.
"What are your plans for the future?" the archbishop suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Alka leaned back in his chair.
What he still needs to do now is that he wants to go and see the scars of the world.
You also have to go and see where the 12 trial towers are. These 12 towers cannot be collected in a short time.
Before collecting these 12 trial towers, you must first kill the rats hiding in the dark.
So Alka said, "Maybe we will go to the World Scar later. The problem of the Devouring Mouth must be solved."
"I heard that you met him again on Southern Cross Island this time?"
Alka nodded.
"It seems that you are indeed hated by this damn demon."
After thinking for a while, the Archbishop pushed the box over again and said, “Since you are going to the World Scar later, you should give this treasure to him yourself.
He will definitely be there to receive you when you get there."
Alka did not take the box immediately, but looked at the archbishop and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for this place?"
Hearing this, the protagonist couldn't help but reveal memories on his face: "This place... I also fought there when I was young. There are painful memories and good memories there.
As he said before, there is indeed the legacy of a huge empire buried there, but it is also an absolute meat grinder.
People from every church, every empire, every organization.
Pirates, mercenaries, people with hatred, saints who save the world, ambitious people, people with great ambitions, treasure hunters, outsiders who have bad intentions towards this world, demons, monsters, it is simply a melting pot. "
Hearing this, Alka obviously had a new understanding of this place.
“But the main theme of that hellhole is still to resist the invasion of demons, which are constantly invading the world there.
The knights of various churches will defend there, and some powerful people will also provide manpower to organize defense there.
After all, the main theme there is war, so if you want to hunt for treasure there, you'd better be careful, because there are wars all the time. Wars of all sizes are ignited from all over the place. "
Alka listened and nodded.
"But don't worry. There has already been effective resistance there. You can go directly to the area under the control of our church.
Once you get there, you’ll naturally understand more.”
After chatting with the archbishop for a while, Alka nodded, put the box back in his hand, and left.
