Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 262
Alka has arrived at No. 28, Mast Street. At this time, the door of this shop has long been closed, and it looks unusually conspicuous on a street with a lot of traffic.

After just a glance, Alka walked towards a corner alley not far away.

After entering the alley, the whole world became slightly quieter, and no one wanted to enter this alley.

Arriving at the spiral staircase, Alka went up.

"Ding dong!"

The bell rang softly, and it rang after Alka pushed the door.

As soon as they came in, they saw Balazs, still sitting in the corner where they sat last time, waving at Alka who came in.

The boss at the counter next to him looked at Alka with his one eye, and nodded slightly.

Alka replied politely, and went straight to the corner and sat in front of Balazs.

"Sorry for the wait."

"Where, I should be sorry for making you wait on the island for a week." Balazs said with a smile.

After speaking, he poured Alka a glass of wine.

After a light touch, the exchange began.

A piece of yellowed parchment appeared in Balazs' hands. The border of the parchment was painted with golden lines, and the back of the paper had the imprint of the Virgin.

This is a contract, using the contract of the Notre Dame Church, and those who violate it will be cursed by the Notre Dame.

Balazs handed over the parchment.

"Look, this is the clause I drafted with the pastor of the church."

Alka didn't pay attention to the parchment when he heard this, but asked strangely: "Is there a church on this island? Or the Church of Our Lady?"

"Huh? Don't you know? I thought you..."

Balazs was even more surprised than Alka. He felt that he must have read correctly. Alka was a believer of Our Lady. Why didn't he know that there was a Church of Our Lady on this island.

"We have been active in the small town since we came to the island, and we haven't seen the church."

Although Alka knew that the Church of the Four Gods also existed in the Infinite Sea, he did not expect that there would be a Church of Our Lady on the Southern Cross Island.

This is too coincidental.

Hearing this, Balazs nodded: "The church is established in Lattes. If you have time, you can go there. It is also a good city."

Lattes is the central city of the island, which means "shining star" in the language of Vasteva city-state.

"Are there any churches of other gods?"

Hearing Alka's question, Balazs shook his head.

"Of course not. This is the area where the Holy Mother's faith spreads. Other churches will not come here to spread the faith." Balazs said after taking a drink.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the lingua franca of this place is the lingua franca of Homeland Sea.

The residents on the island basically use the common language of Homeland Sea to communicate, which means that it is not a matter of a day or two for the Holy Mother to spread faith here?
However, the religious atmosphere in this place is very light. In daily communication, Alka didn't even see the prayer gesture with crossed hands.

It seems that these people don't really believe in the Virgin Mary.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Alka turned his attention to the contract.Looking at the terms Balazs drafted above, they are all the ones he and Balazs talked about last time, without adding any other terms.

After the treasure is obtained, the distribution will be reasonably distributed by the contributions made by both parties in the treasure hunt process.

Both parties shall not conceal the preciousness of the treasure, shall not steal it privately, and shall not hide information about the treasure.

During the treasure hunting process, under the premise of ensuring your own safety, you must not intentionally hurt the other party by any means.

Very reasonable terms guarantee the interests of both parties in the treasure hunting process.

Alka felt that he had prepared more contracts like this. As a treasure hunting group, they would definitely use them in the future.

"I'm OK."

"Okay, then let's press the blood mark."

As Balazs said, a wound appeared on his thumb, and a faint blood gushed out, and he pressed it on the contract.

Then the blood evaporated immediately, leaving black lines on the contract.

Alka then did the same.

When the contract was established, the paper of the contract was directly reduced to ashes, and turned into two golden beams of light that were tied to their wrists.

With the disappearance of the light beam, a pattern of ears of wheat wrapping around the wrist appeared on the wrist.

Ears of wheat are the most famous and representative symbol of Our Lady.

Represents the establishment of a contract between the two parties.

Then the two smiled and shook hands.

"So nice to work with."

The next step is the exchange of treasure information.

Balazs said: "Let's go to your ship to exchange information. This place is obviously not a good place to communicate."

Hearing this, Alka nodded without any objection.

The two came down all the way and walked towards the port.

When passing by No. 28, Balazs glanced sideways.

"I hope this operation goes well."

Hearing this, Arka couldn't help but glanced at him.

That sounded unlucky, especially at a time like this.

After chatting briefly for a while, the two had already arrived at the port, and walked through the crowd to the side of Voice of Dawn.

"please."

Balazs went up and carefully looked at the appearance of Voice of Dawn.

Speaking of which, he had never been on this ship.

"It's a beautiful boat." He couldn't help but patted the side of the boat and said.

At this time, on the deck, some doll girls could be seen practicing with each other.

Balazs saw these doll girls as soon as he walked up, but fortunately, he had seen them several times when he was on the island, so he was not too surprised.

It's just that he couldn't help being a little surprised by the number of doll girls on board.

"So there are so many little girls on your ship? What race are they, are they unique to the Four Gods Sea Region? To be honest, I haven't seen them here yet."

Balazs asked curiously.

After all, he is also a merchant, and he has traveled all over the world for more than ten years. He dare not say that he has seen all races in the boundless sea, but he has either seen or heard of most of them.

I never knew that here, there is this kind of race that is only 30 centimeters and all of them are little girls.

It made him curious.

"They are doll girls." Alka just said briefly, but didn't elaborate further.

Balazs nodded, but didn't get to the bottom of it.

Several puppet girls with wings flew out of the restaurant carrying a shelf.

"Is there anything else that can fly?"

Balazs couldn't help but said, he really didn't expect there to be differences.

Then, behind the puppet girl, Hu Anlu, who seemed to be holding ingredients, came out.

He watched Alka say hello, and then looked at Balazs next to him.

I have met several times on the island, so I nodded politely.

Arka brought Balazs to the captain's cabin and sat on the big round table.

They took out their respective human skin maps and pieced them together.

"We each took paper to copy a copy of the map, and we each took our own half of the original." Alka said.

Balazs nodded.

The copying is very fast, after all, the map is just some lines.

"Then tell me what you know about this pirate, and which island this map points to."

Hearing Alka's words, Balazs didn't stop talking, and directly said the information he knew.

"The pirate who was executed 20 years ago was known as the 'Piranha'-Killian. He is a treasure master whose strength has reached the fourth stage. The pirate group he leads is called 'Blood Bite'."

"The tactics he often uses are sneak attacks in disguise. Since he often uses stolen ships, he always succeeds every time. He has never been fond of that ship.

Pirates who had spoken to him told him that he would destroy a better ship while he was taking it, just to avoid being recognized.

Then some members and sailors on the ship were forced to absorb, disguised as this former ship, and then relied on him to attack those teams that were familiar with this ship. "

Listening to Ballas' information, Alka had already constructed a cruel and cautious but extremely despicable person in his mind.

"What was the reason for his arrest in the end?"

He was a little curious, how was such a cautious person finally arrested and then executed?
"At that time, the young king was training outside, and he attacked a king's ship with the king's sister on it."

Got it, that means offending people who shouldn't be offended.

"So he was captured alive in a siege shortly afterward, and taken to Ratus to be beheaded."

Alka nodded and leaned back in the chair.

After briefly digesting the information, he asked, "Then is there any information related to his treasure? And where is he most likely to hide the treasure?"

"According to those pirates who once invaded with him, and his enemies.

During the battle, two balls will emerge from his body, which can bring fear to the enemy. The companions who fight with him are always brave and fearless, not afraid of death. "

"There is only this information. After all, it was 20 years ago. It is all the memories I got from finding some people who have experienced that period."

After speaking, Balazs took out a sea chart from his body.

Looking at this sea chart, Alka sat up straight. Didn't you expect that there is also a sea chart in the boundless sea?
However, when he probed it, it was not a chart at all, but a few strange dots on the picture.

There are lines connecting each other.

What does this picture mean?
"This is?"

"This is a map of the boundless sea. Although the ocean and islands here are always changing, the islands around the target island are at least connected."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sea chart and explained to Alka why this thing was called a sea chart.

There is also a word on the chart that says Broken Sea.

After explaining, Alka simply understood.

That is to say, the big dot in the middle represents the Southern Cross Island, and the small dots extending from all the lines represent the islands linked to the Southern Cross Island.

Although the distance from the above far points to the islands will change, the order of distance from each other to the Southern Cross Island will not change.

The distance range will not change much, although it is still fluctuating.

Next to each island, there are some data labels, which roughly mean when they will leave and when they will return to the link.

Through these data, Alka learned.

The closer the island is to the Southern Cross Islands, the shorter the departure time from the island chain of the Southern Cross Islands.

Especially the two islands that are not far from Star Island of Nanshi, basically they will only be separated for no more than 100 days and nights out of 10 days and nights.

The rest of the time will be firmly dragged by my side.

If it is far away, it may be that out of 100 days and nights, only 10 days and nights will come back.

Broken Island is actually still in the ranking of these island chains, a relatively high-ranking island.

"As for which island he might hide the treasure on, I don't know.

But it is said that he should be hiding among the islands of the Southern Cross island chain, because since he became a pirate, he has never been out of the Broken Sea and has been active here. "

As he spoke, he also marked a place on the chart.

"He was besieged on this island. Although it is connected to the island chain, it is a small abandoned island."

"These are all the information I know, I hope it can be of some help to you."

After Balazs finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly, because the information he knew, to be honest, he had no idea how this information could help him find the treasure.

Because he didn't even know the most basic map where the island might be located.

After hearing Balazs finished speaking, Alka nodded.

Looking at the copied map in his hand.

Although the information he gave was really rudimentary, if it was any other treasure hunting group, they might all give up cooperating with him.

After all, if they can't get useful information from it, it's useless.

But for Alka, this information is enough for him to have a certain understanding of the treasure.

He looked like he was thinking, but his fingers lightly tapped on the map, tapping like he was thinking.

Information appeared on the golden light on the map.

Sure enough, the treasure information has been expanded.

[Treasure information: The treasure hidden by the pirate named Kerian is his life's harvest, and it is also ill-gotten wealth, stained with the blood and souls of innocent people.

The [Holy Grail] level treasure [Twin Fear] is hidden here.

The treasure was hidden in an unexpected place, a place safe enough that only he knew. 】

The information on the treasure was expanded, allowing Alka to know the name of the treasure.

But the most important and most critical problem is that they don't even know which island the treasure is hidden on.

According to past experience and treasure information, Alka was rarely told the island where he was.

Because this is not in the information that the treasure information will expand at all, he can only find a way to find it by himself.

Now there are two ways.

One is to find a way to find the island that may hide its treasures, and then just blink your eyes, and the answer will be revealed naturally.

Another way is to get all the island maps linked to the Southern Cross and check them one by one, using the most tiring but most effective stupid method.

At this moment, a knock on the door came to mind, interrupting Alka's train of thought.

Xia Dati walked in.

Alka looked at it and said, "Are you all back?"

"They're all back."

"Then call them all, let's have a small meeting."

After a while, Xia Daiti and the others came in one by one, sat on the round table, and nodded politely to Balazs.

Facing the professional treasure hunting team, Balazs sat there silently and closed his mouth.He decided to take a good look at how this professional team hunted treasures, and learn by the way.

He is still very curious about the treasure hunting team, he has only seen some teams, but never seen how they work.

"Have I told you before? Information about the Human Skin Map.

Today, I have signed a contract with Balazs to search for this treasure together. "

"Now I will tell you what I know."

Speaking of which, Alka succinctly told everyone the information he had just obtained from Balazs.

"Then the most important thing now is to know which island this treasure is hidden on."

Xia Daiti looked at the copied map in his hand and said.

She has already seen that the map in this hand is an island, and the detailed map of the previous area is useless at all.

Alka nodded, and told everyone about the two methods he just thought of.

Jason thought for a while, looked at Balazs next to him and asked, "Are those people who still remember what happened at that time still on this island?"

"Some are still there, because I have forgotten some of these information, and I asked them again a few days ago." Balazs replied truthfully.

Jason nodded, thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind, can you take me to visit them later, I want to ask again."

"No problem, of course no problem."

Everyone already knew what Jason was thinking, and he wanted to ask if he could get more information.

"Can Mr. Balazs help me find relevant maps of other islands, I need to compare them.

In this way, it may be possible to find the place where the treasure is buried. "

For Xia Dai's proposal, Balazs also nodded, this is not difficult for him.

After all, other islands also have maps, but they are not sold publicly.

But he is a businessman after all. Although he has been suppressed recently, at least his connections are still there.

And here is Southern Cross Island, a landmark island that connects the surrounding islands.

It's relatively easy to get some maps here.

Afterwards, everyone continued to communicate with each other and determined the next course of action.

Allocate the tasks to be done.

The entire short meeting is considered to be the end of the exchange.
