Chapter 449: Sunstone
In the camp under the dark night, the flames of the central fire were burning firewood, emitting crackling sounds, and on the table next to the fire.
Alka and others sat around it.
Although everyone was gathered around it, the expressions of the crowd could be divided into two waves.
The first wave is naturally Alka and his group.
Alka stared at Jason with a frown, then turned to look at Lucelia who was looking up at the sky over his shoulder.
Xia Daiti and others didn't say anything, just smiled as if they were ready to watch a show.
Then Alka took out the map and spread it on the table, looking at the golden light that had dimmed, and the golden light that was circled and flickered.
Look at the difficulty of the golden light.
【Children】
"Um……"
Children? Alka never thought that Jason and his friends would not be able to find the treasure.
But the fact is, Jason really didn't find it.
I really can't understand it. As I said this, I took Lucilia off my shoulder and placed her in the palm of my hand.
Even though Alka was staring at her, Lucelia tilted her head and didn't look him in the face.
"It's fine that Jason and the others didn't find it. What about you? Didn't you offer any useful suggestions?"
Hearing this, Lucilia knew she couldn't escape. She sighed, turned her head back to look at Alka and said helplessly, "I did mention it, but... we turned the place upside down and really didn't see anything."
Jason and his companions nodded immediately after hearing this: “Yes, you said in the field, we almost plowed the field, but we didn’t see anything.
I even looked around for places where something might be hidden, but I didn't see anything."
"Forget it, just tell me your overall process first."
Jason nodded and began to tell everyone about their journey.
"The area on the map, where you marked it, is a small forest. It's better than the surrounding environment, and much better than here.
At first we thought it might be the grove you marked, so we started digging there, thinking we might be using the trees as coordinates.
But after digging for a long time, they found nothing. Finally, they had no choice but to dig there one by one, but they really didn't find anything strange.
We started leaving the woods and looking around, even digging around, to see where something might be hidden.”
That was why, even though they were much closer to the camp, they just arrived before Alka and the others.
As the story was being told, the curtain of the sky was torn apart and daytime came.
After listening to the story, Alka felt that there was no big problem, but why couldn't they find it?
Could it be that this difficulty could be deceiving?
Children.
Any treasure of any other difficulty level would not be as incomprehensible to Alka as it is now.
But there's no point in thinking so much.
He stood up and knocked on the table: "Come on, let's go together. I want to see how deep this thing is."
After saying that, everyone ran out quickly.
Xia Daiti and the others were also curious because they had asked before. Alka made it clear that the treasure Jason and the others were looking for was very easy to find, and it was the real money-making treasure.
It would be funny if I didn't pick up the money.
Pororo can also be seen patting Jason on the shoulder and smiling at him.
Although they didn't sleep the whole night, it was not a strange thing for Alka and the others.
At this stage, even if they go without sleep for a long time, it won’t cause much harm.
Sleep normally, just keep them in their state.
Soon they came to the place with golden light on the map.
Just as Jason said before, there is a small forest here, and there are lush weeds growing around it. It is obviously much better than most of the desolate wilderness.
Apart from the small grove, the trees around are growing sparsely.
In the grove, you can also see some gray-white birds building nests on them.
After careful observation, these birds are not aggressive, their feathers are very soft, and their bodies do not show any abnormal changes. It is really strange that they have not been corrupted by the abyss.
Alka compared it and found that the golden light should be inside the woods.
He could also see traces of digging around him and the soft earth of the grove.
Apparently, Jason and his team turned the place upside down yesterday as they said, and loosened the soil in the entire forest, which was obviously a big project.
Alka led everyone inside.
Probably arrived at the area where the golden light might be.
Look at Xia Daiti.
Xia Daiti also nodded, and silver ripples under his feet began to penetrate into the ground.
"There are fewer obstacles here, and the influence of the abyss is relatively weak." Xia Daiti came to this conclusion as soon as he started to detect.
That's why this place is at least better than other places.
The silver ripples deepened and expanded.
After a while, Xia Daiti opened his eyes and shook his head: "Nothing, except some rubble, there is nothing strange underneath."
"Just watch and I'll tell you." Jason said from the side.
"That's strange..." Alka frowned, a little confused.
The main problem is that this treasure has no name and no treasure information; it is a three-no treasure.
They had no information about this treasure.
Alka could only speculate based on the location of the golden light and the difficulty of the child that the treasure should be hidden in a very shallow place. It was very easy to obtain, but now it was obviously wrong. If there was some information about the treasure, maybe he could speculate where it was exactly.
If it was just a child, it meant that the treasure was not hidden very deep, but in a place where even a child could find it.
It is not hidden very deep, is not dangerous, and is easy to find.
Following this line of thought, Alka looked around and wandered around in the forest.
Gray birds were flying overhead, constantly changing their positions towards Alka and his group of uninvited guests, jumping between branches and staring at them.
Suddenly, Alka saw some of the thicker trees had tree holes. Although they were small, was it possible that these tree holes could also store some small things?
And tree holes are probably what , right? It is very suitable for children.
The more Alka thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Look at the tree hole. Did you look for the tree hole yesterday?"
Hearing this, Alka and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, because they really didn't pay attention to this kind of place yesterday. They didn't even think about it at all.
But since Alka said so, they immediately looked for some trees in the forest and checked the places with tree holes.
Not every tree has a tree hole, only a few have them, and they are neither big nor small.
Most of them are just a small dent.
Moreover, tree holes are usually found on thick tree trunks, so they are very easy to find and inspect.
After everyone, including the puppet girls, found and searched almost all the tree holes in one go, everyone shook their heads.
Alka looked at the tiny tree hole in front of him, but also gained nothing.
“Nothing either…”
Just leaning against the big tree, I started to think.
As Alka pondered, everyone wandered around the grove and outside, looking for possible hiding places.
However, the girls were playing in the woods, jumping between the figures.
These gray-white birds were stupid and didn't seem to be afraid of them. They even bumped into the puppet girls of similar size.
Faced with the touch of the doll girls, he acted somewhat indifferent and even played with them.
Suddenly, Alka, who was deep in thought, dodged to the side.
A ball of bird droppings fell down and landed on the place where Alka had just stood.
Alka looked up and saw a gray-white bird playing with a doll girl on a tree branch.
This bird is really not afraid of people.
Alka thought and looked away.
etc……
Birds, birds...
What if I were a child? Alka couldn't help but take a few steps back and look at the big trees.
The trunks of these big trees are not very high, only about two or three meters, and the highest is no more than four or five meters.
It is not a very big tree, but when it reaches about four or five meters, the trunk and branches extend and spread out, appearing dense and broad.
This means that it seems very easy to build nests where tree trunks and branches extend, and most birds build their nests there.
What does your child like to do?
Digging in the mud, playing in the water, climbing trees and... taking bird eggs.
Since it is not in the soil, there is no river around it, and it is not in a tree hole.
So is it possible that it is in a tree? And the easiest places to hide things in a tree are these bird nests.
This treasure may be a small object that birds use to build nests, or something shiny.
Maybe these birds just like to collect shiny things. You know, there are many creatures in nature that have this kind of strange smell.
It is even possible that these birds sensed some aura from the treasure.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it became. Alka simply controlled a mirror to lift himself up.
It was lifted to a place where the bird's nest could be seen at a glance.
When the people around saw Alka taking action, they immediately surrounded him.
"Do you think it's possible that this treasure is on the tree, in those bird nests?" Xiadaiti asked, looking at the place where Alka was looking for.
At this time, Alka was looking at the branch of the big tree in front of him, where there was a bird's nest.
The bird that just pooped on him should live in this nest.
But apart from some stolen goods and dirt, there was only a nest made of branches and dead leaves, and there was no golden border.
Hearing this, Alka lowered his head, looked at the people below and said, “Yes, all of you take a look to see if there is anything hidden in these bird nests.
Oh, and don’t destroy other people’s nests.”
After hearing Alka's words, everyone immediately took action, and the puppet girls even jumped over directly.
They didn't jump directly into other people's bird's nests, but just watched from the side of the nests.
Some of these birds build their nests very safely and with some depth, and the nests are wide and thick.
Some bird nests still contain eggs, but the nests with eggs are guarded by female birds. At this time, these birds become slightly aggressive and cannot be approached too closely.
Even the doll girls who were of similar size were not allowed to do so.
Of course, it's just ordinary observation, so standing by is enough.
“Found it.”
A voice came from a tree trunk not far away.
Hearing this, everyone gathered around.
A doll girl with wings flew down.
It’s Jiuqi.
She held high in both hands an ordinary round stone with orange and yellow lines on its surface.
The lines can be seen on the surface forming a rough pattern similar to the sun.
"Is this it?"
And in Alka's eyes, this thing indeed had a golden outline on its surface.
It's really in the nest.
He nodded and took it from Jiu Qi's hand. When the stone fell into his hand, he could clearly feel the warmth transmitted from the stone.
The warm feeling spread through the stones throughout my body. No wonder these birds carried them into their nests.
"It's really in the Bird's Nest!" Jason said helplessly.
He hadn't thought about it at all.
Simon and Lucelia next to them also looked a little helpless. They also did not expect that the treasure would be taken into the bird's nest.
"Okay, we've found the things, let's go back."
With that, everyone started to return to the camp.
Soon we returned to the camp.
Holding the two treasures in his hands, Alka entered into a dream.
Through dreams, Alka is able to see the abilities of these two treasures at a deeper level.
That ordinary short sword ability and weapon seem somewhat irrelevant.
The ability seems to be exclusion... or isolation.
Alka looked at it carefully and thought that it should be able to repel something, or isolate an area where only it is allowed to be.
He couldn't fully understand the functions of the treasure, but after seeing it like this, he roughly understood the ability of this treasure.
The first thing that comes to mind is that if you are in a poisonous area, you can use this treasure to isolate the poisonous gas and keep your body in a safe range.
If you think about it this way, this function can also be used underwater, isolating a waterless environment in the water.
Maybe it can also block out sound, fire and the like. Thinking about it this way, this treasure is quite powerful.
Of course, if you think about it this way, the application range of this treasure is quite wide, but it is completely incompatible with his current carrier dagger.
Perhaps making it into a shield or something would be more suitable than a weapon.
The sun stone that Alka had just obtained was named this way. Although the stone looked only slightly round and smooth, the orange pattern on it naturally formed a rough pattern similar to the sun.
And it feels warm to the touch, which means that the power of this treasure may be related to fire or temperature.
When his eyes looked carefully, just as he thought, this treasure should be related to temperature, and it should be the heat within the temperature.
Unlike fire, which directly creates extremely high-temperature flames to attack or shape, but if it is just temperature heating, it should be able to produce high temperatures or something like that.
I just don't know if this effect matches this stone.
Alka still can't tell whether the carrier of the treasure and the divine essence contained in it are a perfect match. He still needs some learning.
Find Shadow Robe and ask him to help check it out.
The first thing he looked at was the dagger. He shook his head in disdain and said, "The carrier is simple and the meaning is unclear."
Obviously, this treasure is of a very inappropriate type, the type that can be easily separated.
Looking at Alka's other treasure, the Sun Stone.
"The carrier is not good enough... but there is faith in this stone, an ancient faith that comes from ancient worship. The appearance is somewhat suitable.
But it's a pity that the carrier is really not good, it's just an ordinary stone with strange patterns in the material world. Even if there is faith, it's too much of a stretch.
When considering the peculiarity of this stone and its ancient worship, if it does not contain divine essence, it may be a rare mysterious material. "
Simply put, the carriers of the divine essence and treasures are excellent separately, but they are not so good when put together.
It's the kind that's not quite suitable.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to separate them?"
Alka thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, then help me separate them. Don't be too anxious. You can do some experiments on them slowly. Just don't destroy them."
After all, they are not short of treasures now.
Yingpao nodded, showing great interest, took the two treasures and left.
Alka came back to reality.
He told everyone that the two treasures were not suitable and were going to be separated into divine essences.
Then he said to Simon, "We can start making containers specifically for storing treasures and divine essence."
After all, from now on, they no longer need all the holy grail-level treasures they have obtained, so they need a good container to store them. Especially things like divine essence, if you are not careful, it may merge with strange things in reality.
Hearing this, Simon nodded, then thought of something and said, "But there are still some materials on the ship."
After hearing this, Alka paused for a moment, then said, "Let's pack up and leave. Let's go back to the port first. By the way, we can collect some necessary information in the port. There are also many books on the ship, so we have to go back and look for relevant information records."
This includes information about Greyfar's family, the Moon Worshipping Cult, and the Lighthouse.
These need to be searched for.
