Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 241 Broken Island Chain Southern Cross
From time to time, Balazs said something he knew about some people in the Four Gods Sea Territory.

Alka and the others will recall some of the information they knew when they were in the Sea of ​​the Four Gods based on the names of these people.

Knowing the past of these legendary figures will make the communication between the two parties more enjoyable.

After all, even Balazs himself is nothing more than a small person who is only a little famous in this small area.

Being able to understand those unreachable, legendary pasts of characters in storybooks makes him feel very interesting and novel.

The communication between the two parties has become very pleasant.

From time to time, loud laughter could be heard coming from the house.

After communicating until more than half of the food on the table entered Porolo's stomach.

They were just about to say goodbye.

"It was a pleasure communicating with you. You are really rare friends. If you want to leave this island in the future, remember to come to Southern Cross Island. It is very important to reach a target island."

As he spoke, Balazs waved his hand, and a male member standing behind him came up and handed him the object in his hand.

Balazs handed it to Alka.

"A small gift, don't refuse it, it's very important to you, but it's not unusual to us, just a little thought."

Looking at the object wrapped in cloth in his hand, Arka nodded without refusing.

Having said that, it must be something very helpful, and it would be hypocritical to postpone it any longer.

"Thank you, we will always remember your help."

"Haha, we are friends now, and it's not right to help friends."

Hearing this, Alka also smiled.

"That's really my fault, haha."

"It's very late now, thank you very much for your hospitality, then we will leave."

Balazs didn't want to keep him anymore, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, if there is a chance, I must come to Southern Cross Island, and we will meet again at that time."

"It must be so, may the Holy Mother bless you."

Arka crossed his arms and said in front of the center.

"May the Holy Mother bless you." Balazs replied.

Afterwards, Alka and the others left here and walked towards the port.

Until Alka and the others left the gate of the house, Balazs was still standing there with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Captain, what are you thinking?" asked the first mate who had been standing behind him.

"As expected of someone from the Four Gods Sea Territory, it's really amazing."

"Excellent?" The first officer scratched his head, somewhat confused.

He really didn't see anyone from Alka, so what's so great about it.

But these people have a way of chatting.

Balazs gave him a sideways look.

"If you can see it, then you can be the captain."

"I'm really looking forward to the next meeting, then I'll see how long it will take you two."

Then he left the room.

Looking at the back of his captain, the first officer curled his lips in disdain.

"Starting to play the captain's score again."

……

At this time, Alka and the others who had left said goodbye, and walked on the streets of the town with the cool night breeze.

"What do you think of that Baraz?"

Alka asked suddenly.

"He is not a believer of the Virgin Mary, he just pretended like that." Xia Dati said suddenly.

"Why do you say that?" Alka was slightly surprised, he really didn't see this.

After all, Balazs just put his hands in his arms and performed the ritual of the Virgin Mary.

"When he put his hands in his arms and prayed for the blessing of the Virgin, he didn't get the blessing of the Virgin."

Xia Dati explained.

"what?"

Alka made a suspicious sound.

What's the meaning?Just make a gesture and pray to the Holy Mother to bless the Holy Mother, and the Holy Mother will really bless, can you still see it?

Even Simon next to her looked at her in surprise.

Isn't this a very common thing?How can it be concluded from this that Balazs is not a follower of Our Lady?
I only heard Xia Dati explain: "I used to be the preparatory saint of the church, you know, how can I say that I almost became a saint."

Alka nodded. Xia Daiti was being modest when she said that. She could become a saint herself, but she just didn't want to take on the so-called responsibilities of a saint.

Then he also complained silently in his heart: If you hadn't punched the archbishop, maybe you are still preparing for a saint now.

Inexplicably, he thought of Xia Daiti's dark history.

But it also shows that Xia Daiti was indeed a core member of the church.

"I don't know what other gods are like, but as long as you hold your arms crossed and sincerely believe in the Virgin Mary, you will receive her blessings when you pray."

"It's just that you can't see this blessing, and there are few blessings, but it is obvious to the priests.

So when I was in Homeland Sea, many people didn't believe in the Virgin Mary. They just pretended casually that many clergymen turned a blind eye.

When believers who truly believe in the Virgin Mary need help, the clergy will not be stingy with helping. "

Hearing this, Alka nodded suddenly.

Simon was also beside him, and said enviously, "Is the Virgin Mary so merciful?"

This is something that the believers of Holy Machine Church can't even imagine.

How could it be possible to casually make hand gestures and pray to the gods, pray for blessings and you will really get blessings.

Alkata didn't know this at all.

To be honest, he didn't care.

At this time, he was suddenly startled.

He doesn't believe in the Virgin Mary very much, so he shouldn't be seen out, right?
I couldn't help asking, "What about me? When I boarded the boat to pray, did I receive the blessing of Our Lady?"

Looking at Alka, Xia Daiti couldn't help frowning, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Of course, and there are quite a few."

"really? Haha."

That's good, that's good, scare me to death.

After thinking about it, I really thought too much. After all, I can even use the holy sword, so how could I not be a believer of the Holy Mother.

And I have also received enlightenment.

Speaking carefully, do you really not believe in the Virgin Mary?
Alka couldn't guarantee that he didn't believe at all.

Whether it's the teachings of the Virgin, the things she did, and the kindness she showed, Arca has no reason not to believe in it.

And the Church of Notre Dame really treats itself well, completely treating itself as one of its own.

Therefore, he could indeed be regarded as a believer of the Holy Mother. After figuring this out, Alka no longer struggled.

"Tell me about something else."

"His cooking skills are not very good, a bit worse than Juanlu's." Porolo said suddenly.

What he said made several people couldn't help but stand still and look back at him.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the eyes of several people looking at him, Porolo said suspiciously, and then added: "It's really not as good, don't you think?"

"It's not as good as Juanlu, but do you think it's appropriate for you to say this?" Simon, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but raised his steel left arm and patted Porolo's stomach.

At this time, Porolo's stomach was a bit chubby, one could imagine how much food on the table went into his stomach.

At least 2/3, which is a conservative estimate.

Hearing this, Porolo pushed away the hand that was patting his stomach, this hand was too hard, like hitting with an iron rod.

Then he argued: "Food can't be wasted. We are guests and we have to respect the host. There is no better way to show respect to the host than to eat the dishes that the host has invited."

It was so well said that it left several people speechless.

"Simon made a steel needle." Porolo patted Simon and said.

"Why?" While asking, he raised his left hand and directly made a steel needle.

Pororo took it and started shaving his own teeth.

"Tsk."

Simon rolled his eyes.

Porolo also complained: "The next time something like this happens, you should let Jason accompany you. He is more suitable. I can only help you in this way."

Alka glanced at him, and shook his head helplessly: "You look more intimidating, and have you learned from Jason recently, why are you becoming more and more like him?"

Especially this bastard.

"Although we don't know his real thoughts, what he did is at least beneficial to us, and we really owe him favors." Xia Dati said it was a matter of business.

Alka nodded, that was indeed the case.

No matter what other people's goals are, at least until now he has been kind and is indeed helping them.

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

It was a gift from Balazs when they parted.

After opening it, I found a flag and a book inside.

Arka picked up the flag and looked at it.

This is not a regular flag, but like a belt, one end has a rope tied to the flagpole, and the other end has nothing.

There is a red line on the long blue flag.In the middle of the long flag, there is a cross star.

"What does this flag mean?" Simon asked beside him.

Alka checked it: "There are incantations on it, and it is woven with some kind of incantation material. The technique is very unique and the production is very delicate."

That was all he could tell.

"Read the book first." Xia Dai suggested.

According to the communication between them just now, this book is obviously more important.

Alka nodded, put away the flag, and opened the book in his hand.

This book is not thick, it is very thin in the hand, only about one finger thick.

The book cover is wrapped in some kind of waterproof material, but it is not an expensive material in terms of material.

"It's actually written in the common language of Homeland Sea." Looking at the title of the book on the cover, Alka was a little surprised.

He only now recalled that when they communicated the whole way just now, they used the common language of Homeland Sea.

Speaking of which, apart from using their own language, the islanders in the small town seem to use the common language of Homeland Sea as the only language they can use.

Why is it Homeland Sea?

It's not the South Storm Sea, or the lingua franca of other Four Gods sea areas.

Even in the dream before, Alka did not get the answer.

Dreams of the islanders speak of the language spoken by outsiders who often come to trade.

In the dream of the members of the merchant ship, Alka did not ask for information.

Bring your thoughts back.

Alka looked at the writing in his hand.

It says "Broken Island Chain/Southern Cross"

Looking at the name, it seems to be a book that introduces the Broken Isles Chain and the Southern Cross on Waypoint Island.

It's about the same thickness.

Alka opened it and took a look.

"It records some information about this area and the Southern Cross Landmark Island. By the way, it also includes navigation assistance for the boundless sea."

Hearing this, Xia Daiti and the others showed great interest on their faces.

This might be the first step for them to understand the boundless sea.

"Let's go back and see, Lucilia and the others may have been waiting anxiously."

Hearing these words, several people nodded, and walked towards the port at a faster pace.

It didn't take long to arrive at the port, and found Jason waiting on the shore at the port.

After seeing them coming, Jason smiled and waved.

Then they looked up and down and after making sure there was nothing wrong with them, they jumped onto the deck with everyone.

"Well, what did the man invite you to do?" Jason asked.

"It's just that we can see that we are people who have just come to the boundless sea, and want to take this opportunity to make friends with us."

"Sending charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake."

These words surprised everyone.

"How did we get exposed?"

Alka and the others began to succinctly tell everyone about some of the exchanges at the banquet.

"So it's like this. I never thought that such details would be exposed." Julia murmured.

This way of exposure was also unexpected to her.

"You said that the book recorded some outside situations, tell me quickly." Lucilia jumped on Alka's shoulder and urged.

Hearing this, Alka looked at the others.

The eyes of others are also full of curiosity.

After all, although they have been in the Sea of ​​No Silver for so long, they know little about the specific situation of the Sea of ​​No Silver.

Now that there is a channel for understanding, how could it be possible not to be curious?

"No problem, let me see."

Alka opened the book and read it carefully.

After taking a closer look, he realized that the information he obtained from the dream before was indeed somewhat one-sided and too fragmented.

Even what is written on it is only the surrounding area and some characteristics of the sea area in this area.

"The nautical chart is completely useless in the boundless sea, because of the chaos, the ocean here is always changing, including the position of the island."

"It also makes it hard to tell the right direction here, because even the ocean, even the islands you've been to, will appear in other places shortly after you leave.

The islands that will not deviate due to changes in space and ocean currents are signpost islands. They are always there and fixed there. "

"The so-called island chain is a few islands dragged together by the landmark island. They will also change, but they will reappear around the landmark island at a certain time.

As for the specific mechanism, I didn't mention it above, so I just briefly described it.

For example, the island chain dragged by the Southern Cross Island of the Landmark Island is called the Broken Island Chain, and the island under our feet is a part of the Broken Island Chain.

He will return to the surroundings of Southern Cross Island every 30 to 60 days and nights, which is why merchant ships will come during this period.

They must also leave again before departing, or they will have to wait until the next time they return.

Otherwise, it is likely to be very far away from Southern Cross Island, and it will take a lot of time and energy to return. "

After briefly talking about some important information written in this book, Alka took out the flag that Balazs gave him before.

"Although the location of the landmark island will not change, the people of the boundless sea still made a tool that can guide the landmark island, the guiding flag."

"This flag points to the Southern Cross Island. You only need to hang it, and the end of the flag will always float in the direction of the island."

After listening to Alka's simple narration, everyone had different expressions, but without exception, they were a little surprised.

Even though they were already mentally prepared, they were still a little overwhelmed by the chaos here.

"That is to say, unless it is an island in the island chain, once you leave, you may never find it again?" Xia Daiti asked beside him.

Alka nodded: "This book says so, if there is nothing wrong with what this book says."

"Will there always be an unknown journey?" Julia murmured to herself, and then asked with some helplessness: "So is there really a seed of life here?"

The so-called Seed of Life is essentially similar to the Church of the Holy Mother and the Church of the Holy Machine.

It is an organization formed by the gods of the Sea of ​​All Beings and believers in life.

One of the teachings is to ensure the balance of nature and sort out the chaos in the world.

And it is the mermaid who carries out this teaching to the end.
