Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 1 Cursed Silver Coin
Golden Ear Island
The noon sun hangs high in the sky, and the dazzling light reflects Lingling wave light on the blue sea.

The island is covered with large golden ears of wheat, which bloom like gold under the sunlight.

Surrounded by golden wheat ears, a winding country gravel road extends to the side of the wheat field.

It was an ordinary stone house unique to the island, surrounded by a circle of low wooden walls, and a tall tree could be seen growing inside the wooden wall.

Looking in through the open wood-grass window of the stone house, a figure is squatting beside the bed near the window.

This young male figure was squatting beside the wooden bed in his room, bending his head to look under his bed.

He has short black hair, and his face looks a little immature, but he has already revealed a slightly handsome appearance.

In the dimness, through the sunlight shining into the room through the window, I saw that the cloth bag at the bottom of the bed was bulging and seemed to contain something.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face, this is what he was looking for.

"Treasure Hunter's Tool Bag"

He moved up a few steps, reached out his hand to grope in the darkness, held the edge of the cloth bag, and pulled it out forcefully.

As it was pulled, there was a ding-dong sound in the bag, indicating that there were some iron items in the bag.

The force that comes from dragging also means that the contents inside are not light.

After the cloth bag was pulled out, the mouth of the cloth bag was not tied, and some things inside had been revealed.

There are no burning torches, short-handled shovels, irregular and slightly curved iron rods, ropes and an iron grapple.

He knelt down and poured out everything in the bag.

In addition to the above-mentioned things, there is an extra short-handled machete with a sheath, and something similar to flint and steel.

But what Alka cares about is not these, but the palm-sized pamphlet on it.

The surface of the booklet is wrapped in some kind of animal leather, and the paper inside is also yellowish in color.

The booklet is in good condition and looks old, but the footers are not curled.

"Captain Arka's Treasure Hunting Manual" is written in a strange font on the top of the booklet.

Alka is himself.

He wasn't the captain either, just some childish way of calling himself.

Randomly flipping through it, the words recorded in it are all legends about some treasures on the island.

Holding the booklet in his hand, Arka stood up again and sat heavily on the edge of the bed.

The expression couldn't help but contemplate.

These are all "me" things.

Thinking of his bizarre experience, Arka couldn't help but shook his head.

I didn't expect that I would really time travel one day, something in this kind of entertainment work.

But for myself, it was truly a miracle.

Back then, I was suffering from pain in a hospital bed, waiting for my near death.

I closed my eyes in pain, and was finally able to sleep easily.

When he woke up again, he had already taken over this body.

By the way, he also inherited the memory of this body.

These memories slowly recovered from far to near within two days.

He didn't know how the original body died until morning.

Die from the "curse".

The age of this body is 16 years old, and the dream is to become a treasure hunter at sea.

9 days ago, he really found the treasure.

The first treasure he found in his treasure hunting life became his last treasure.

And the treasure...

Arka groped under her pillow and took out a dim silver coin.

The treasure is this silver coin.

The silver coin is somewhat dull and black, which means it has a history.An S-shaped silver snake is carved on the front, and a three-petal flower is on the back.

A scratch on the silver snake's head is very conspicuous.

In addition, this is an ordinary silver coin, a "silver snake", a currency in circulation.

Although valuable, it is not enough to buy one's own life.

"Five more days... no, four and a half days."

Arka turned her head and looked at the bright sun hanging in the sky from the window beside the bed and muttered to herself.

Who would have thought that this ordinary silver snake in his hand was cursed.

If he had heard that there was a curse on a silver coin before, Alka would just smile lightly and take it as a joke.

But the sudden death of his predecessor made him pay attention.

Nine days ago, the former owner of the body dug up the silver snake, which was packed in a small iron box.

There is also a sentence engraved on the iron box.

"Return it within seven days and get the treasure. After seven days, die from the curse."

A very simple and straightforward sentence, but the original owner didn't take it to heart at all.

Who would believe such a thing?

There is no supernatural power in the memory, at most it is the people of this world, and their physique is generally much better than that of the previous life.

then.

Two days ago, he really died in his sleep.

After I occupied this body, because the memory is from far to near, so this morning I completely recovered all the memories of the original owner.

The previous time has been pretending to be sick, hiding in the house, waiting for the memory to fully recover before judging the current situation.

Similarly, the death of the original owner also means that this "curse" is real, not just a joke.

It has been 2 and a half days since I traveled by myself, and there are still 4 and a half days to reach the 7-day deadline.

7 days of my own.

Perhaps the original owner of this curse has already endured it, and he was just resurrected from this body, and he may not necessarily die after another 7 days.

But for Alka, who had just passed through time travel and resurrected from this corpse, he didn't dare to gamble at all.

He doesn't want to die yet.

The days of waiting for death in the previous life made him despair, and finally he lived a new life, how could he just wait for death like this.

Even if it is just a possibility, he is not willing to gamble.

He must return the silver coin, whether it is true or not.

That's the only way to do it now.

Alka took a deep breath and began to analyze the current situation.

First of all, this silver coin is known from memory as part of the magician Jack's treasure.

The original owner also obtained this silver coin through this clue.

This is just a small clue before getting the final treasure.

In other words, as long as he finds the treasure of the ultimate magician Jack and returns the silver coin, he can lift the curse.

Really survived.

Alka began to extract information related to Magician Jack's treasure from memory.

Magician Jack, formerly known as Jack Monk, was born on Golden Wheat Spike Island more than 200 years ago, and went out to sea when he was young.

He did not return until later in his 50s, by which time he had already made a name for himself in the surrounding waters.

He is a famous treasure hunter and has a resounding nickname "Magician".

As a famous treasure hunter, he returned to his hometown in his later years and did not appear to be very rich.

People on the island believe that he hid his wealth, right in his hometown.

It is said that once he was drunk in a tavern and told the story of hiding his treasure on Jinmaisui Island.

But no one has really found his treasure for more than 200 years, so it naturally became a legend.

Most of the island's residents believed that he squandered most of his property off the island at that time.Only in his later years did he return to his hometown, waiting for death to take him away.

This is very in line with what a person who has been wandering at sea all year round will do.

Alka looked at the silver snake in his hand. The silver coin and the curse on it were confirming the authenticity of the treasure.

Standing up, he walked to the hanging picture on the left side of the room, which showed an old man wearing a black top hat and serious black clothes.

On the right hand resting on the left shoulder, with several rings.

This is the portrait of Jack Monk.

Grandparents of one's own mother.

This house is also where the last magician died.

This is also why Alka will get the clue.

After all, this is my family.

Thinking of this, Alka opened the manual in his hand.

The thin booklet contained information about several treasures, all of which were collected by the original owner from various places.

"Parker's Golden Cane", "Lucky Gold Coin", "Mactor Shipwreck"...

and now "Jack's Magical Treasure".

Some of these are the treasures of the island, and some are the legends of the neighboring island.

It's all popular stories, and no one really thinks it's a treasure.

At least for now.

Except Alka, who calls himself a treasure hunter.

In fact, Arka himself thought that most of them were fake, so he focused on Jack's treasure.

It's because this is my own family and has different news from outsiders.

Several pages at the back of the booklet are clues to Jack's treasure.

Everything else is just a brief introduction.

At the place where the next two pages are connected together, a simple map of Jinwheatsui Island is drawn with very simple lines.

Ink dots are used on it, and two key symbols are dotted.

This is the only clue left by the original owner.

Look at this map.
