Chapter 491: Treasure Craftsman
In the magic-proof fortress, inside the small building built by Alka and his friends.
At this time, there were five people sitting in the living room of the small building, namely Alka, Jason and Juanlu.
In addition to the three of them, there were two strangers. These two people were the ones that Jason and Juanlu mentioned yesterday who might be able to help them.
They are Keparo and Anka.
Keparo is a middle-aged man who looks extremely rugged. He wears a cross-body robe on his upper body, with his left chest completely exposed, covered with scars.
Even on his face, one could see tiny scars and a wound that ran through his entire face.
Judging from his clothes and dressing style, showing scars is probably the custom of his ethnic group.
He also had a weapon on his back that looked like a pickaxe, except it was an enlarged version of a pickaxe.
On the other side, Anka was a man with extremely pale skin. However, his skin was almost completely uncovered, and his entire body was wrapped in black clothing.
His gender was completely unknown, and only his eyes and the skin around them were exposed.
Especially his unique eyes, the pupils are blue-green in color.
However, although he wrapped himself up completely, one could tell from his temperament that he was not a gloomy person, he was just relatively quiet and not very talkative. He looked about the same age as Alka and the others.
From this point of view, I don’t know how Juanlu became familiar with him.
After all, Juanlu is not Jason, a social phobic who enjoys communication.
In fact, this Ankh may be over 100 years old, but he looks so young just because of their special race.
Although the normal lifespan of humans does not change much, their lifespan will increase as their strength increases.
However, appearance will still change with the passage of time, and it does not mean that appearance will stop aging if life span is extended.
This situation will only occur to those races that are naturally long-lived, or those who possess some treasures.
At this time, all five of them had some blood stains on their bodies.
Because the demons started to attack again, but as they said before, the frequency of the attack was very low and the number of demons was also small.
At least for the anti-magic fortress, this intensity of attack made them feel a little relaxed.
The rest of the people had already gone to the fortress for routine defense. Alka and the others were just rotated out, and they invited the two of them to come over for a discussion.
Keparo sat down and looked around, then asked, "Brother Jason, what's the matter with inviting me here?"
Anka also turned his head and looked at Juanlu with a questioning look in his eyes.
The two of them were not very familiar with Alka and had hardly communicated with him.
To be honest, this was the first time Alka had seen the two of them. He had only heard of them briefly before.
Although there are many strong people in the sixth and seventh stages here, there are not too many.
After all, there are many defensive areas on the city wall, and he spends most of his time in the area under the charge of the Church of Our Lady.
But Jason and his team each have their own defensive areas.
Only Alka and Shadaiti are basically fixed in the area where the Virgin Mary is located.
Just like Julia's defense area, it is generally fixed in the responsible area of life.
Simon is mainly responsible for various city defense equipment, while Porro will stay in the area of the Storm Church most of the time.
Hearing this, Jason leaned back in his chair, glanced at Alka and said, "Our captain needs your help with something."
Hearing this, Keparo and Anka turned to look at Alka.
And Alka looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile.
"No problem, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know." Coparo said after laughing twice.
Anka next to him also nodded, indicating that he meant the same thing.
Alka smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. I asked you two to come here mainly because I want to capture a demon alive."
"Capture a demon alive?" Copalo repeated.
Both of them couldn't help but recall the scene when Alka sealed the demon that was targeting him.
The battle was quite intense, and almost all the stronger people in the fortress noticed it.
From then on, basically everyone knew that Alka should have some ability to seal the devil inside.
Later, Alka also showed up from time to time, such as helping the Holy Blade Saint Annafiel seal the demon she had been dealing with after she advanced to the seventh stage.
So it's not really a secret.
However, Copalo still frowned and asked in surprise: "With your strength, a demon of the seventh stage should not be difficult for you. If you want to capture an eighth stage demon alive, to be honest, I don't think I can provide any help."
Alka has sealed the seventh-stage demon several times, and to be honest, their team is really famous here.
The main thing is that no other team can be like them, every role has done their best and they are very strong.
After all, they have been here for quite some time, and everyone can more or less analyze that the compatibility of their treasures with each other is relatively perfect.
There are so many people on the ship, and each of them has at least two treasures.
For items like Alka, you can tell at a glance that there are more than three or four of them.
How could such a team not be famous?
If Alka and the others couldn't do it themselves, Coparo didn't think he could provide any significant help.
Although both he and Anka next to him have reached the seventh stage of strength.
But at this stage, it is no longer possible to say that someone at stage seven has the strength to deal with stage eight.
The demons become stronger as they go higher up.
An eighth-stage demon is even stronger than a person of the same level who possesses a treasure.
Of course, it also depends on how much the person who holds the treasure actually possesses.
"It's not that exaggerated. The demon I want to capture alive is Kalande." Alka said directly.
After hearing this, both of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If they thought about it carefully, Kalande was indeed within the scope of help they could provide.
"It's totally okay for you to capture Kalande alive, right?" asked Keparo.
After all, the strength of Alka and the others is there. Even if you have 5 Kalandes, you are no match for them.
Alka nodded, but said helplessly: "The problem is that he knows we are targeting him, and he also knows something about us. Unless there is only one person, he will definitely avoid us."
Hearing this, Keparo probably understood.
Although Kalande seems reckless, he is actually quite cunning.
But he also said helplessly: "I have been here for a long time, and I have played against Kalande during this period. He knows my ability. Yes, we are also on guard from time to time.
So if I help you, he will also be wary, and it will take a good time to do it."
As he said this, he looked at Anka next to him and said, “But if you ask Anka to help you, the chances are quite high.
But it will take a long time to wait for such an opportunity.”
Alka nodded.
Anka next to him waved his hand and said in a clear but somewhat low voice: "Although I am willing to help, the things I have on hand may not allow me to help for a long time."
The meaning is already very clear.
Of course you can help, but if you want someone to provide help for a long time, that would obviously be too much of a burden on others.
Upon hearing this, Keparo nodded in agreement.
They are all powerful people at the seventh stage and have a lot of things of their own.
Especially since both of them are actually soldiers of the alliance, they are strong support provided by some big forces.
For example, Keparo is supported by an archipelago force.
Ankh is a large force on the island providing support.
They all have their own affiliated forces.
Of course, I also have my own things to do.
"Of course, I am not asking you two to help for free, I will provide sufficient compensation.
All you two need to do is use your abilities to provide me with some help when the opportunity arises in a certain time period."
As he spoke, Alka reached into the space and took out an object.
This is a wand-shaped holy grail-level equipment that is about the length of your forearm.
After taking it out, Alka used magic to activate it, causing it to emit the unique fluctuations of a treasure.
Looking at the two of them, the meaning was self-evident.
Seeing Alka take out this treasure, the two looked at each other.
Based on the help they can provide, plus the compensation given by Alka, if we calculate it based on the market price, it is honestly quite equal.
But the problem is that the market price is the market price, and few people will actually use treasures as a reward.
Because treasures are really important to power.
No one would think that he has too many treasures.
This treasure was enough to make the two of them wait for a long time for an opportunity to help.
"It seems that your treasure hunting team does have amazing wealth." Keparo looked at the treasure and couldn't help but smile.
This can be considered a rumor among the fortresses.
For example, there are rumors that Alka and his friends should each have three treasures.
After all, it is always possible to see when they are using treasures in various places, without the need for deliberate observation.
Everyone here has the strength of the sixth stage and has the formula for becoming a god in their minds.
Being able to take out a treasure instead of exchanging it for a suitable treasure is enough to show that Alka and the others may have collected all, at least the three lowest level holy grails.
This is indeed a bit outrageous for a treasure hunting group.
After all, in the eyes of these powerful people, many things are clear. For example, Alka and his team have basically been determined to be an independent treasure hunting group, not really subordinate to a certain church.
It just happened that there were people from various churches in it, and this was not uncommon in other teams.
This means that Alka and his group are a force of their own and cannot provide any help in the trials.
But Anka next to him said: "I am not short of Holy Grail-level treasures."
Keparo also nodded.
Both of them were pushed forward by big forces and can be considered leaders. They also hold high positions in their respective forces.
He is also a well-known strong man in the entire Boundless Ocean.
Both of them have a treasure of Holy Grail level.
"But if this reward is divided equally between the two of us, it will be enough for us to provide you with the help you mentioned." Keparo said from the side.
Anka also nodded in agreement.
It is a very reasonable remuneration, plus considering Alka and the others’ abilities and future performance, it is completely sufficient.
Hearing this, Alka tapped the table lightly, thought for a moment and said, "If this treasure is not very important to you, I can provide another way of compensation."
Although the two had basically agreed to help, they nodded at the side when they heard what Alka said, curious about what Alka's other form of compensation would be.
After all, for them, ordinary wealth is not worth this treasure.
"I should be considered a treasure craftsman."
"Treasure craftsman?" Keparo repeated. To be honest, he had never heard of such a term.
Alka nodded and explained with a smile: "You two should know the process of treasure construction, right?"
The two nodded. This was indeed no secret to them.
"Then you should also know that some treasures are not suitable and cannot exert their intended capabilities due to unexpected circumstances or other reasons.
The carrier of the treasure is too different from the essence of the treasure, or the material used is too ordinary. "
Anka's expression could not be read when he heard this, but at least from Keparo's expression it could be seen that he understood deeply and he couldn't help but nod twice.
By the way, he also complained a few times: "Yes, some treasures are really... hard to describe."
Looking at the performance of the two, Alka smiled and said, "I have the ability to separate these extremely mismatched treasures.
Then we build a suitable treasure carrier that is more suitable for the user and the essence of divinity. And it supports a certain degree of customization. "
After hearing what Alka said, they immediately understood what he meant by the term.
Then he couldn't help but stare at Alka with a surprised expression. To be honest, such an ability was basically unheard of. Even those who were at the top of the world had never heard of such an ability.
He knew Alka clearly, and it was impossible for him to say anything joking to fool them at this time. So what he said was basically the truth.
It wasn't meant to amuse them, but Keparo couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious? Can you really do such a thing?"
He needed the most accurate answer to confirm what he said he heard.
Alka smiled and nodded.
"hiss……"
This got the two of them thinking.
It's true, that's so important.
Whether it is for them or for people from other forces.
"If it's possible, then I'd definitely like to help," Copalo said directly.
Judging from his performance just now, it is obvious that he really has such an inappropriate treasure.
In other words, among the three holy grail-level treasures, it is hard to find one that does not have this problem.
Even Alka and the others have this situation.
Alka and his companions all have a treasure more or less, or it is specially customized using the essence of divinity.
Or it was rebuilt from scratch before.
From this we can see that a large portion of the treasures in the world have this situation.
This is particularly evident at the Holy Grail level, which has the largest amount of treasures.
Anka beside him also nodded: "If I can, I will also help."
Hearing this, Alka nodded, and then said, “Such help also has certain conditions.
First of all, the treasure is the kind that doesn't match. There is obviously something wrong with the divine essence inside and the carrier outside.
Secondly, if I use this method, this treasure will definitely be kept with me for a period of time, and I will definitely know some of the treasure's abilities.
Finally, although the carrier can be customized to a certain extent, it cannot be too biased towards the abilities displayed by the divine essence.
And you have to provide the materials for the carrier yourself."
Alka stated some conditions first to avoid any problems later.
Faced with such conditions, the two nodded without hesitation. These were foreseeable problems that would indeed arise, and they had already thought of them when they agreed.
The most important thing is that compared to what they need, this problem is completely insignificant.
“Since you agree, then let’s sign the contract, and then you can hand over to me a treasure that you think needs to be separated.
If possible, you can provide some of the carriers you want. Each treasure will take a month to make, and then we can return the brand new treasure to you."
"No problem. I can't wait."
As he spoke, he took out a blank contract.
It looked like he had specially selected a contract of the Virgin Mary.
Anka also nodded and handed it over.
Alka quickly wrote down some conditions on it, and after the two of them looked at it and found no problem, they sealed their souls.
The contract is established.
Then, Keparo actually took out two of his treasures and placed them in front of Alka.
"To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with these two treasures. I also think their appearance seems a bit unsatisfactory. See which one is the worst fit."
The two treasures are something like a bracelet, which looks very simple.
The other piece is a large ring, which is actually a piece of jewelry.
Alka picked it up and looked at it.
Then he pushed the ring out.
"The material of this bracelet is too low-quality. It is just ordinary copper and iron. It cannot bear the essence of divinity."
Hearing this, Keparo nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go with this one. I hope it can be carried on an arm guard."
Alka nodded, and the style of the arm guard was decided on the spot based on Keparo's arms.
He also specifically requested that he only wanted the arm guard for his right hand.
Anka watched this scene from the side and roughly confirmed that Alka still had such ability. As for him, he needed to go back and think about it.
In this way, an agreement was reached between the two parties.
