Chapter 97: Dark Invasion
Following Jasmine's words.
A large pile of thick paper-like things floated out of the box, covered with a lot of dust.
Float in front of them.
Alka then realized that these were not pieces of paper, but pieces of leather similar to those of some animal.
The leather was made to look like paper canvases, with maps clearly drawn on them.
These maps were stored in the box and should have been preserved very well. Except for being a little old, the patterns on them were still clearly visible.
Jasmine only said, "I used to be the president of the Chuck Chamber of Commerce of the Alliance. This is the sea chart within the Alliance, as well as various safe routes."
"It used to be a secret, but now that the alliance is gone, it's useless."
Alka took it and looked at it.
The largest of these maps is a detailed map of the entire Dark Realm, with many safe routes and some secret waterways marked on it.
Every island and even some of the more dangerous waters are clearly marked on it.
It can be said to be very detailed, and it is the most detailed sea map Alka has ever seen.
The smaller maps below are more detailed maps of a certain area, an island, or a waterway.
It is so clear that even some reefs that may harm ships are marked, as well as areas with bad sea conditions and areas where sea beasts appear.
Anything that is dangerous and will affect navigation is marked, and there are even some dates and times, indicating which date and which route will be faster.
Seeing this, Alka was sure that this must have been confidential information before.
To produce such a detailed map is not something that any small force can do. It requires countless manpower and material resources and even countless time to complete.
If this map depicts the Blood Gold Alliance, then the pirates who master this map will be able to pass through it unhindered.
They plunder everywhere and are difficult to destroy.
Alka blinked, and blue and white dots of light flickered out.
There is even a golden glow.
Jasmine also looked at her box, then turned around and said, "If you really succeed, there are some magic items in it that I used before. I will give them to you."
Hearing this, Alka and Jason instantly perked up.
"No problem, wait for the good news."
After saying that, Jason nodded to Jasmine in front of him like a gentleman: "Then, we'll take our leave first."
After saying this, the three of them stepped back, still facing the spirit in front of them.
Jasmine also smiled brightly and waved at them until she disappeared into the darkness.
"Walk slower, Alka, she has something to tell me." Lucelia's voice came, and then she immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and flew into the darkness.
Alka slowed down his pace, and in less than 10 seconds, Lucilia flew back and got into the necklace.
While Alka and the others were still retreating, Lucelia's voice came over.
"She released that wave intentionally. She just sensed that there was a spirit above her that was the same as her."
So this is why Lucelia could sense that wave, and that's why she said that the moment she came in.
"She also thanked me for my help... said that if she succeeded in returning to the Mother's arms, she would give me some thank you gifts. She said I would definitely need them."
Alka just nodded silently to show that he understood.
Now is not the time to answer.
The three of them came to the place where they had just come down and climbed up again.
"We must have made a significant contribution this time, hahaha."
After coming up, Jason dusted himself off and couldn't help but smile.
Alka shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't be happy so early. It won't be too late to be happy once you really get it.
Otherwise, happiness will turn into sorrow, which is not pleasant. "
"So do you think what she said is true or false?" Hearing this, Jason turned his head and looked at the two of them and asked.
As they were talking, the three of them walked out of the manor.
Jamie thought for a while and said, "He must be a follower of the Virgin Mary. Whether it's true or not, it's going to happen anyway. Why think so much about it?"
“That’s true.”
"But how did she know that the alliance would perish together? Didn't she say that she died the moment the explosion occurred?"
"I don't know. I haven't studied souls. She didn't say she was trapped in that tunnel. She just said she was trapped in this dark sea."
"Forget it, just pay more attention. We were planning to go to that island anyway, and now we are just speeding up."
As the three of them were talking, they had already arrived outside the manor.
Looking at the dark world, Alka controlled the mirror to reflect the light of the lighting stone, turned to look at the two people and said, "Then I will pass the message to Andre now?"
"Okay, come on, you're more proficient in this spell than I am." Jason nodded.
Alka opened his mouth and said something silently. A little blue light flashed in his hands and he rubbed them.
As he spoke silently, one blue line after another appeared in the air, forming a flying bird that flew away into the distance.
The distance of [Sound Bird] is limited, and is generally increased based on the magic power infused and the proficiency in this spell.
Jason was a little unsure of their distance from Andre at the moment, so he let Alka use it.
Alka would also practice this kind of functional spell for daily use.
Basically, I have been able to use the [Sound Bird] spell very skillfully.
He was confident that there would be no problem passing the ball within the enclosed area.
"Then let's go to the port and wait for them now."
After hearing Jason's suggestion, the two did not object and walked back the way they came.
…
They returned all the way to where they had set off before.
A few people found a stone and sat on it waiting.
Jason still held the pure gold civilization staff he had found earlier, waving it back and forth in his hand.
Suddenly the crutch fell from his hand.
Hearing the falling sound, the two immediately looked at him.
Jason suddenly started blinking his eyes and shaking his head.
He clapped his ears hard.
"Oh no, darkness has invaded his mind." Gami said quickly as he watched the scene.
Alka was about to stand up and move forward.
Jason raised his hand to stop the two from moving, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just started to hear the singing."
After saying that, he searched in the belt around his waist and took out a thin, index finger-sized potion.
He opened the cork and drank it.
Seeing this action, the two of them sat back in their original seats with peace of mind.
This potion was specially prepared by Vanessa for them when they left the ship. Its function is to temporarily restore their spirits and dispel the darkness that has invaded their brains.
This medicine is extremely effective, convenient and quick, but it has certain side effects.
It is slightly toxic and ordinary people cannot take it at all. Vanessa can only provide more detailed treatment.
Those who touch it don't have such concerns. The slight toxicity can't cause any harm to their bodies. A little meditation can disperse it through the circulation of magic power.
If it weren't for the time spent sailing in the Dark Realm, it would probably take 2 to 3 months.
Andre wanted to keep the secondary members outside.
As the medicine went down his throat, Jason closed his eyes and stood there in a daze. After a minute, he opened his eyes, exhaled slowly, and relaxed.
Sit back on the stone.
"Is this what it feels like to hear a whisper? It's really quite strange, a bit like the song of a siren, but it gets harder and harder to hear later on."
Hearing this, Alka turned around and looked at him: "Have you ever heard the sirens singing?"
Jason shook his head. “Of course not. If I had heard it, would I still be alive today?”
"But you may not believe it, but I have heard the singing of mermaids."
"puff!"
Hearing this, Jiami couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Looking at Jamie's expression, Jason shook his shoulders helplessly, shook his head and said, "See, you don't believe me before I even start talking."
What's the meaning?
Are mermaids some very extraordinary creatures?
When Alka first saw the merman, he thought mermaids also existed in this world.
After all, after knowing that this world was an ocean world with alien races, he felt that mermaids should not be rare.
However, judging from the performance of these two people, it may be different from what I think.
Jamie smiled and said, "You heard the mermaid's singing? I want to ask you where the mermaids come from in this world?"
" That's why I said you might not believe it. Although I don't know where the singing voice I heard came from, I felt it was the singing of a mermaid. It was a very strange feeling."
At this point, Jason couldn't help but smile and shook his head helplessly.
"It's really weird to say this, haha, but that song is really good, and I still remember it clearly."
Then he waved his hand and changed the subject.
Turning to look at Jiami, he asked, "What position did you hold in the church before?"
"Prepare the Saints."
"Preparing for a saint, that's not bad. Before I got on the ship, I also wanted to be a saint."
Saint Alka knew.
Ever since he knew that the Stone Mother was the Virgin Mary, he had deliberately tried to learn more about the Church of the Virgin Mary.
Saints are roughly some technical personnel in the church, and their status is roughly equivalent to that of regional bishops.
The so-called technicians are people who have their own specialties.
For example, strong force or something like that.
Even the armed men of the church, the Knights Templar, can be called saints.
Andrew is a saint.
"I heard that Xia Daiti was a candidate for saint in the past." Jason said, suddenly thinking of something.
Xia Deiti is a saint candidate? Alka was a little confused. This was the first time he heard and he had never heard Xia Deiti mention it before.
Jamie nodded: "Yes, she was, otherwise she wouldn't have become a toucher so early."
The saint's status in the church is comparable to that of the archbishop, and she has a special and transcendent status.
"She isn't now?"
Alka asked curiously.
Jamie shook his head: "No, that's why I came to Captain Andre's ship."
Jason also asked curiously: "Why, is there any reason for this?"
"I heard that she took advantage of the situation and knocked out the archbishop's teeth."
“……”The two were silent.
Jamie continued with a lingering fear on his face, "She came back angrily and wanted to take it out on us. She even said something like she didn't want to be a saint and that she wanted to go out to sea or something like that."
"Then she really left. Don't even mention how happy we were at that time."
Was Xia Daiti so violent at that time?
To be honest, Alka had a hard time imagining what Xiadaiti looked like at that time.
This contrast was a bit too exaggerated. In her impression, Xia Daiti was always cheerful, gentle and considerate.
Very caring towards others.
The only thing associated with the word violence was the way she fought.
"The ship is coming!"
