Chapter 479: Treasure Hunt and Rest
"Arka, that last move yesterday was really powerful."
A muscular young knight, wearing heavy platinum armor, walked towards Alka.
The armor is white in color with light golden patterns, on which wheat ears and the emblem of the Church of Our Lady can be clearly seen.
This is a wheat-ear knight of the Church.
His youthful appearance and five-stage strength all tell others that he is a talented person.
He was about the same age as Alka.
"Were you the one on guard outside yesterday?" Alka asked with a smile as he looked at the person approaching.
"Of course, congratulations on reaching stage 6. I can't compare to you."
The knight said with a smile.
Hearing this, Alka looked at him and patted his shoulder: "You are not far from the perfection of the fifth stage. You are almost there, Brave."
The Wheat Ear Knight in front of him, named Brave, is also a saint of the Virgin Mary.
This city of return was built by the Vastwa people. After tens of thousands of years of isolation, they had long abandoned their former beliefs. After all, even survival was a difficult thing, and the race was almost extinct. Because of Alka, they came out now and began to gradually convert to the Virgin Mary.
The church would naturally send a team to build a new church here and provide proper protection for this new force.
The person in charge of this church is Brav in front of him. After a few visits, Alka naturally became familiar with him, and they were all young people.
Although Alka is almost 30 years old, he is still considered a young man in this world.
"By the way, I need the church's help with something." Alka said suddenly while looking at Brav.
Hearing this, Brave looked at him, thought for a moment and asked, "Is it important?"
"Maybe it's very important. I mainly want to use the church's intelligence system to help me find some people or places."
Hearing this, Brave nodded in understanding.
"Then just tell me, and I'll make the arrangements later."
After all, Brav is also a saint. Although his current strength is only at the fifth stage, it does not mean that his status is not high.
Alka nodded.
Walked into a small church in the City of Return with Brav.
After all, it is a new city, and the church is too big and seems to be too prominent.
Moreover, there are not many people here. On the contrary, a church that is too large will make people feel disgusted.
After entering the church, they sat down and started talking directly in the chapel.
"What are you looking for?"
Hearing this, Alka took out a piece of paper and handed it to him.
Looking at the paper handed over by Alka, Brav glanced at it.
There are a total of 11 numbers on it, and behind each number there is some incomprehensible name.
"What are these?" he asked in confusion, not understanding the message it was trying to convey.
“I want to find 11 towers. These 11 towers are very important. But I don’t know where they are exactly. I only know the names of each tower.
Some are names of people, some are names of families, and some are names of places.”
Hearing this, Brav nodded in understanding. Although he was curious, he did not ask any further questions. After all, if he thought carefully about Alka and the others' professions, he would understand.
Then he looked carefully at the paper in his hand.
Look at the names above.
"I know this, I've heard of this, I've seen this before..."
Brave looked at the titles listed, searching for some familiar names.
After all, although there are 11 numbers, the total number of names behind them adds up to dozens.
But they are all different things.
After a casual look, he found about three or four familiar names corresponding to three labels.
"With these names, it shouldn't be difficult to find the place you want."
He also roughly understood that these names should be related, and it was easy to obtain this information and narrow the scope.
For example, there are so many names behind a number. As long as you find the right one, you can find out a long list of names around it through investigation.
Hearing this, Alka nodded and said, "It doesn't have to be found. If it's just the location of the characters, the family, or the geographical location of the island, I can accept it."
Hearing this, Brave said, "Then collecting intelligence will be much easier."
This is indeed not difficult.
After saying that, he frowned, stared at Alka and said, "But it will take a long time for you to collect all this information. After all, this information is scattered too widely."
The few names he had just learned were all in different places in the entire Endless Ocean, and the journey back and forth might even take years.
There are also various ocean current accidents, which will cause certain problems in information dissemination.
It is simple, but it is really troublesome and it takes a long time to spend.
Alka nodded: "No problem. Even if I get the information and go out to sea to search, it will be when I reach the seventh stage."
Hearing this, Brave probably understood.
Obviously, Alka was just making plans for a rainy day, preparing for an action many years later. So there was no need to rush to gather this information, and we could slowly collect it, trying to collect it in all its details.
The preparations are quite adequate.
Thinking of this, Brave nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take this paper. I'll ask the church's intelligence system and churches around the world to help keep an eye out for it."
"That's good, thank you for your help."
Hearing this, Brave waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. We are all believers of the Virgin Mary. And don't underestimate your position in the church.
You just don't often interact with the various systems of the church, otherwise you would be able to collect all this information yourself."
Hearing this, Alka just smiled.
There was no way, he didn't like being bound by the church or those islands.
Most of the islands are small in size, so they are naturally not suitable.
Compared to the vast ocean, the island is really too small.
The main thing is that staying on the island would be a waste of his talent.
"By the way, General Safik said you can take a break. The offensive on the front line has reached the lowest point of normal frequency. You don't need to go to the front line to rotate guards anymore."
Hearing Brave's words, Alka nodded.
After all, he is a member of the church. The church has given him a lot of help along the way, and this is also the Scar of the World.
Therefore, when Alka and his men have nothing to do, or when the situation at the front is tight, they will go to the front line to provide defensive support.
Since they are not regular support forces, once the front line is able to handle it alone, these volunteers can get a long period of rest.
Alka then chatted with him for a while and then said goodbye and left.
Returned to their residence.
Walking into the lobby on the first floor, there were only a few people doing their own things in the lobby.
It can be seen from the books in his hands that most of them were newly taken out from the Brilliant City.
They are now almost addicted to reading.
The main reason is that the great library of the Brilliant City contains so many books and information carriers that it is dizzying.
Hearing the footsteps, Xiadaiti, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up and smiled when he saw it was Alka.
Alka walked over and leaned directly against her, looking at the book in her hand.
"Don't you want to get familiar with your own power? So leisurely."
Hearing Xia Deti's words, Alka shook his head: "No, you know it."
With the advance strength of dreams, Alka can basically become familiar with the use of strength within 1 to 2 days after his strength is improved.
There is basically no excessive time.
"You are so free, why don't you find something to do? Aren't you going to rotate to the front line ?"
Alka shook his head and told Xiadaiti the information he had just obtained from Brav, and also told it to everyone present.
"Then take a few days off to go treasure hunting. Didn't you say before that you had information about obtaining a Holy Grail-level treasure?"
Lucelia said beside her.
Hearing this Alka looked at her, thought about it and nodded.
It has indeed been a long time since I went looking for a Holy Grail-level treasure.
Then he took out the map.
This map is not far from the City of Return, probably in the middle area between the City of Return and the Anti-Magic Wall.
It is an area controlled by humans, just 50 kilometers outside the safe waterway.
There was only one spot of light in this area, just this one golden light. For the entire World Scar, it was quite rare to have only one golden light in such a large area.
Some time ago, when Alka was defending against demons at the magic-proof wall, he overheard some chatter between mercenaries and soldiers. As a result, the information about the treasure that had previously been unknown was revealed.
And the more critical information points are revealed in an instant.
【return】
[Difficulty: Saralan - Historian]
【Popularity: 363】
[Treasure information: The treasure called Return is placed in a relic that is considered historical even in the era when the Saralan Empire existed.
To enter the ruins and find the correct entrance, this information is hidden in the history of the Saralan Empire.
Return means the return of time. 】
Although the information about the treasure is somewhat ambiguous, the difficulty level shows that obtaining this treasure is not difficult and does not rely on force.
When it comes to knowledge of the entire history of the Saralan Empire, Lucylia is second to none.
In addition to Lucillia, you should know that there is also a group of ghosts of scholars from the former empire in the small world.
There are many powerful scholars there, although most of them are related to the study of the undead.
But scholars who study the dead are still scholars, and they may have some knowledge of their own country’s history.
That's why Alka noticed the burial place of the treasure.
To be honest, in the past two years, they have basically cleared out more than 1/10 of the treasure spots in the Saralan Empire without realizing it.
Just like coming here to purchase goods, if they stay here for a few more years, they might take over most of the heritage of the Saralan Empire.
Of course, it’s not an exaggeration.
All I can say is that it is worthy of being a huge empire that existed for thousands of years a thousand years ago, a powerful force.
The rapid and complete destruction resulted in too much valuable heritage being left here.
Thinking of this, Alka reached out and tapped the map, and had almost made a decision.
"Are you ready to go treasure hunting?" Jason stood opposite the coffee table at some point and asked Alka as he stared at the map in a daze.
Jason's voice brought Alka back to his senses. Looking at Jason who had come in at some point, Alka nodded.
"Yes , the frequency of attacks on the front line has also greatly decreased recently, and it is rare to have a rest."
This means that not only him, but everyone present will become very relaxed.
Jason leaned forward and tilted his head to look at the map in front of Alka.
"This place... doesn't seem to be far from here."
Alka nodded, and then a large map of the scars of the entire world appeared in his hand. He clicked on it twice.
"It's right here in this area, and it's only a day or two away from us at most."
"It's so close, I'll go too."
"Don't you want to take a break?" Hearing this, Alka looked up at Jason and asked.
After all, Jason and the others just came back yesterday.
"What's the difference between this close place and relaxing? Just treat it as a rest."
Mainly, if they use their current strength to search for Holy Grail-level treasures, it is unlikely that they will encounter difficulties that require higher strength than them.
After thinking about the difficulty of this treasure, Alka nodded and decided to let everyone act together.
Anyway, the defense level of the City of Return has increased recently, and due to the relaxation of the front line, many mercenaries and strong men have begun to take turns to return to the rear to rest.
This has also led to the emergence of many powerful people in the City of Return, which has been gaining momentum in the past two years.
After all, a new city emerged in this weird place, and they had all more or less seen or used the weapons provided by the City of Return in the past two years, so everyone was of course curious.
These powerful people who came to satisfy their curiosity, plus the church guarding here and the mechanics of the Holy Machine Church who communicated with the Vastva people, were enough to prevent them from having to defend here at all times.
It was a rare opportunity for everyone to act together. It was not difficult, they were close, and such a short distance was well within Alka's fast transmission range.
Thinking of this, Alka nodded and stood up and said, "Then let's all act together. This is a rare opportunity, isn't it?"
Hearing this, the few people who stayed in the hall couldn't help but look up at Alka.
After thinking for a while, he nodded.
"Since there's no problem, let's talk about it in detail over dinner tonight. Let's take a two-day rest and then set off."
After making the decision, Alka sat back on the sofa and studied the information about the treasure to make a plan.
…
Two days passed quickly.
After a good rest, Alka and the others prepared themselves and left the City of Return together.
Since the purpose of this treasure hunt was to rest and relax, Alka did not use the mirror for fast flight.
Everyone walked slowly on the safe waterway.
After all, the area they were going to was only a few dozen kilometers away from the safe waterway.
"They seem to be afraid of us?" Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, asked, pointing at the convoy ahead.
This was a convoy leaving the City of Return, loaded with spare parts for repairs and a lot of munitions.
Since these are relatively important supplies, there are also many guards and mercenaries on defense.
Alka and his companions followed the convoy.
However, due to Alka and his team's performance on the front line in the past two years , their reputation has become relatively well-known throughout the world.
This also made the people in the convoy reluctant to offend Alka, after all, they were not familiar with him.
I'm not sure about Alka's style.
The main reason was that Alka attracted the demons' attacks too easily, causing the convoy to remain alert all the time, which was very tiring.
"After all, we are different now than before. We are considered celebrities. I knew the leader of this team before. Maybe he was afraid of angering us."
Jason replied with a smile.
No one cared about this.
At this time, Simon suddenly looked at Alka and asked, "I've been busy recently and forgot to ask. What do the ghosts think of the new function of the Soul Doll?"
When Alka heard Simon's question, his expression immediately became strange, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Looking at Alka's strange expression and Simon's question, Jason smelled something interesting.
Curiosity was piqued immediately.
Since Simon had been following Jason on treasure hunt for more than half a year, it was Simon who sent the new functions of the Soul Doll to Alka through his dreams and asked him to help with the manufacture and installation.
And some new functions were installed by Alka somehow.
Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, also asked curiously, "What's the new feature?"
"Human circulatory simulation system." Simon replied, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.
Just a thirst for knowledge.
"What is this function?" Lucelia asked in confusion because of the overly professional system name.
After all, Simon named this thing himself, so no one would know it unless he explained it.
Alka silently reached out and scratched the side of his nose.
Hearing Lucelia's question and everyone's curious looks, Alka opened his mouth and began to speak.
"Um... it's the circulatory... um, excretory system."
"Excretory system...excretion?" Pororo reacted and then stared at Jason.
"You are really persistent."
Simon had wanted to install this system on the Soul Doll a long time ago. He even tried to install it on the Doll Girl, but was forcibly stopped by Xia Daiti.
But now the soul doll is not for the doll girl, but for the normal person in the past. So Simon rekindled his hope and successfully researched and manufactured this system.
Originally Alka didn't want to install it, but for some reason, he finally installed it on the Soul Doll.
The funniest thing is that the feedback was... pretty good.
Looking at the strange expressions on everyone's faces and Simon's serious face that wanted to get some evaluation.
Alka nodded helplessly and said, “They gave unanimous praise to your system.
These are some of the reports they gave, as well as suggestions for improvement. I hope you can adopt and modify them.
There are even some scholars who want to communicate with you.”
Alka silently took out a booklet and handed it to Simon.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions were stunned.
But I can't help but think about it carefully. Once I think about it carefully, I can find that these detailed problems really need to be solved.
really.
After years of living as a ghost, there will always be some changes.
