Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 299 Spying
The next morning.

Alka appeared behind the cathedral.

There is a house similar to the church style here, standing on the edge.

And there is a hidden opening to the outside, mainly to receive those outsiders.

Not a place for insiders to use.

It can be seen that many temperaments are somewhat fierce, but obviously not church personnel coming and going here.

Alka sat at a nearby table and watched, trying not to be so offensive.

This is a reward point.

There is a simple counter next to a wooden notice board with various reward lists posted on it.

There are some mission introductions on the reward list.

Alka had already seen this place when he was strolling yesterday, and was very interested in it, so he came here early in the morning.

He felt that he could learn some interesting things here.

People who come here are taciturn, and there is almost no communication.

Walk in, say a few words, and leave after finishing the work.

Most of them glanced at some reward lists on the notice board, tore them down silently, and left after recording them.

Alka is next to the bulletin board, looking at some lists on it.

【Evil Sea Beast】

In the waters of the Twin Islands chain, between Natchwo Island and Covos Island, there is a sea beast that often attacks passing ships.

Has caused the sinking of 4 ships and the damage of 13 ships.

There may be many more sinkings and fatalities due to the loss of all crew members.

It is predicted that the strength of this sea beast will be between 54 and 80 spirals, and the strength needs to reach the fourth stage or above.

Reward: 5000 Golden Sails/Ship Customization/50 Enlightenment Quota.

Choose one of the three rewards, and face a sea beast whose strength is at the fourth stage.

Is it a little too low?

But it seems that the rewards of the same level are similar, and the church is a relatively official and authoritative organization.

It seems that the so-called four stages are not as powerful as I thought, how powerful they are in the boundless sea.

It seems to be distorted by Southern Cross Island, and the broken island chain around it.

【Rock Order】

The cult group defected from the Holy Machine Church has been haunting Zehai recently, so be careful when you meet them.

A dozen or so ships are known to have been sunk by it, and not a few more.

The strength of the members of the cult is mostly in the 2~3 stage, and the strength of the cult leader does not exceed the [-]th stage.

Clean up its main structure, at least to ensure the death of the leader.

Reward: [Holy Grail] level treasure purchase qualification/7000 golden sails + baptism.

Clearing up this sect will allow you to be eligible to purchase treasures.In other words, in the boundless sea, there are so many Holy Grail-level treasures that they can be traded.

The qualification to buy means that there must be a market price.

Just don't know what the exact price is.

There were also various bounties posted throughout the notice boards, most of which seemed to be bounties around the Twin Islands chain.

80% of the rewards are to kill and clean up all kinds of harmful things.

Cultists, cult groups, sea beasts, evil spirit ships and so on.

Judging from the rewards offered, they almost all caused a lot of damage.

The damage caused was too great, so it was noticed and a reward was placed.

Alka looked around.

As long as the strength is around the fourth stage of the bounty, most of the bounty prices are around 4000~8000.

Some extra rewards will be added for those with a little difficulty.

Generally, there are also equivalent enlightenment quotas to choose from.

Calculated according to the reward price above, one enlightenment quota is roughly equal to about 100 golden sails.

This is just a rough estimate, which Alka speculated from the rewards of these bounty lists.

And once the required strength reaches the fifth stage.

Then all kinds of rewards came, including but not limited to [Holy Grail]-level treasures, about 2 golden sails, and all kinds of weird and incomprehensible rewards.

It shows that the 5th stage may be the boundless sea, the real strong.

And four phases have a watershed.

Because the reward difference between the two is a bit too big.

However, there are very few such tasks, and looking at the reward papers, it can be found that the time these rewards have been hanging here is at least calculated in years.

Obviously, this kind of bounty is rarely completed.

That is to say, if it is inferred from this reward.

The market price of [Holy Grail]-level treasures starts at about 2 Jinfan.

so expensive.

Adding up all the wealth Alka and the others have acquired so far, excluding the treasures, it may be about 1 golden sails.

But think about it.

If an enlightenment quota is really 100 Jinfan.

Most of the Holy Grail-level treasures have a quota of around 100, and this quota alone is enough to sell for 1.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be selling cheaply.

However, the Holy Grail level also has strengths and weaknesses.

Thinking about it seems acceptable.

Thinking about it this way, if Alka sold the enlightenment quota of his two treasures, he would not earn twenty to thirty thousand Jinfan.

But it's just a thought.

Alka didn't come here to accept these bounties, but just to learn about them. Through these bounties, he could learn about the surrounding situation.

Know where it is more dangerous.

However, it can also be seen from these bounties that most of the bounties hanging on it require strengths of four stages.

Moreover, there are very few rewards on this notice board for people coming and going around here.

It seems that it is not the same as what I thought.

The fourth stage is still a level higher than the mainstream.

Think about it.

The third stage is already the bottleneck of no treasures, and if you want to reach the fourth stage, you have to use treasures.

Although the situation shown by the boundless sea shows that there are many treasure owners.

But apparently it didn't do much to make it mainstream.

These people are mainly still a bulletin board to learn from the other side.

It can even be said that it is not a notice board, but an entire wall.

There are many kinds of reward lists hanging on it, and the requirements for strength are all three stages.

However, the rewards above are not as exaggerated as the notice board.

Some of the targets targeted also seemed normal.

Most of them are bounty tasks such as killers, villains, heretics, etc.

The rewards offered are almost always a few places of enlightenment, or Jinfan.

Most of the money rewards are 800~2000 Jinfan.

Generally, it is determined according to the number of enemies and the difficulty of the bounty.

Alka had been sitting here for so long, almost all the people who came in to receive the bounties received the bounties from that wall, and very few people took action on the notice board next to it.

After a brief understanding, Alka left this place.

He needs to go to the library of the cathedral to learn about the situation of the boundless sea.

Most of the information will be summarized there.

Xia Daiti has been soaking there since early in the morning, and Lucilia, who came over early, is also there.

Facing Lucilia, the people in the church did not have any difficulty.

It's just that some areas and books are forbidden to her.

As for Jason, he didn't know where he went.

Alka circled around the church for a long time before finally finding the location of the library in this labyrinth-like place.

When passing by the counter, I realized that there seemed to be a place for storing newspapers on it.

There are newspapers.

Arka picked it up curiously, and looked at it casually.

Almost all the information is about the twin islands and surrounding island chains.And some simple information from the outside that is not fidelity enough.

It was still issued by the Holy Machine Church.

"If you want to know more and further information, I suggest you still buy the Flying Fish Newspaper."

The spectacled girl sitting at the counter in a body-shaping priest costume said this while looking at Alka's expression.

"Flying Fish?"

Hearing Alka's voice, she was a little puzzled, and the girl gave Alka a strange look.

Then he explained: "There is a blue double-story building outside, and the symbol is a fish with wings."

Alka nodded: "Thank you."

After a while, Arka found the seats where Xia Daiti and Lucilia were, and walked over.

……

Jason was sitting in a small restaurant on the corner of the street, slowly eating the grilled sausage on the plate.

But his eyes and attention were obviously not on his dinner plate, but on a tavern not far away.

Observe the people coming and going in the tavern.

At this time, it was not long before dawn, and some drunken people could be seen staggering out of the tavern.

Calculated according to business hours.

These people should only go to the tavern in the middle of the night.

Counting the time was almost up, Jason ate the sausage in one bite and left the money on the table.

There was a little water stain in the hands, which made the hands wet, made the hair slightly messy, and made the clothes crumpled and sloppy.

Walked into the tavern.

As soon as you enter, there is a pungent alcohol smell.

At this time, there was no more noise in the tavern, only some chattering alcoholics were left, talking vaguely.

Jason ordered some appetizers and a bottle of wine and sat in a cleaner place in the corner.

Lying in the corner, he drank by himself.

But his ears are very sensitive, and he can hear all the words in the entire tavern.

"Damn...Damn heretics." This was a fat middle-aged man who got drunk alone, muttering vaguely to himself.

"It's already dawn outside, the Holy Mother blesses me, I hope I can be safe when I go back."

A drunken alcoholic who appears to be in good spirits.

"Haha, old Kurt, the Holy Mother will not bless you, you bloody heathen, hahahaha."

All sorts of messages come out of the mouths of these drunks who have gotten drunk.

Jason just drank to himself.

A tavern waiter has already begun cleaning up the surrounding environment and garbage.

After cleaning up for a while, he wiped the sweat from his brow and came to Jason's seat, and sat directly next to him.

"How about buying me a drink if you don't mind? I've been in this tavern for several years, and I'm pretty well informed."

Jason looked up at him.

Two silver snakes appeared in the backhand. He put them under the wine glass, poured wine into the wine glass and pushed it over.

Then he pointed to the man who was drinking alone and cursing heretics just now.

"what happened to him?"

"Tell him, he was originally a well-known businessman around here, and he made a lot of money.

But I heard that on his last trip, he passed by Zehai.Attacked by infidels, the caravan of three ships, and finally only he and some people returned in a life-saving boat.

He can be said to have started from scratch, and his savings for most of his life are almost gone, mainly because the boat is gone. "

Hearing this, Jason nodded.

Without a ship in the infinite sea is fatal.

Then he raised his glass and touched the bartender lightly.

He started asking about various things like a small talk.

"What does the treasure of Nafas mean?"

"Can you hear it so far away? It's amazing." The bartender said in surprise.

But he still replied: "This island is quite famous for its treasures, but I have heard the legend when I was young, so I think it is fake."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Looking at Jason's curious gaze, the bartender said, "Just to lie to you outsiders, Nafas was originally a relatively powerful family on the island.

It is said that the fighting family was wiped out because of some reason, but the victorious side did not get anything valuable.
In the end, because of too much consumption in the struggle and not much benefit, it declined rapidly and disappeared as well. "

Speaking of this, the bartender shrugged: "That's why it got out that this family has collected all the valuable things in their entire family, waiting for their descendants to make a comeback."

"But this family has been extinct for 50 years, and the legend of this treasure has been passed down for 50 years. The people on the island have long been used to it."

"The most common treasures in the sea are these strange legends of treasures. Not to mention ours, Zuozi Island next door also has these things.

I haven't heard that anyone really got the treasure, and not everyone is a Canjin Pointer treasure hunting group. "

The bartender complained beside him as if he was complaining.

"If you're really interested in this treasure, just ask me if you want to know anything, and I'll charge you a cheap price." He winked at Jason as he spoke, jokingly.

"After all, many people are attracted by this treasure. Almost every few years, someone asks about these treasures on the island. These people were my favorite when I was a child."

Well, take this treasure legend as a revenue item.

Jason thought amusedly.

"The Canjin Pointer Treasure Hunting Group you're talking about is..." Jason asked curiously.

This is the first time he has heard of other treasure hunting groups in the Boundless Sea.

Homeland Sea has been around for a long time, and it's such a big place, so the treasure hunting group still knows each other well.

In this boundless sea, although they have been here not long ago, to be honest, they have not been to many places.

The only thing that can be called specific is Southern Cross Island.

And judging from the size of Twin Islands, it can be seen that the place should be regarded as remote, and it should be a relatively closed place.

"Don't you know? Then I'm going to have a good chat with you." Speaking of this, the bartender's eyes obviously lit up.

"The Golden Pointer Treasure Hunting Group is arguably one of the most famous treasure hunting groups in the Boundless Sea. I knew one of their members when I was young."

"Their leader is said to be from the megalithic lighthouse, and they have found many great treasures, many of which are legendary.

For example, the ruins of the secret city of Lata, the kingdom of heaven, and the secret treasure of the scorching heart..."

These things are very familiar to the bartender in front of him, and it can be seen that he is a real fanatic.

"And did you know that they also saved many islands, drove away invading demons, and even helped a god."

"Helped a god?" Jason was a little surprised by this.

If you can help the gods, it must be...

"Uh... I'm not talking about the four gods, but the smaller gods."

He stretched out his index finger and thumb in a small gesture.

Seeing that Jason had obviously misunderstood, he said with some embarrassment.

"A smaller god?" Jason was a little puzzled.

Isn't there only four gods, how can there be other gods?
Cthulhu?Or have some of the gods who left have returned?

He was a little puzzled.

"The goddess of singing is said to be a new god who just climbed to the top hundreds of years ago, um... I don't know the details."

"The new god who just climbed to the top..." Jason was a little surprised when the news was true.

Someone really became a god.

He couldn't help but think of the recipe given by Alka earlier.

In this way, the authenticity of the recipe has been greatly improved.

Jason chatted with the bartender for a while and then finished the bottle.

There was a crisp sound of coins colliding on the table, and then he got up and left.

"Wow~"

After Jason left, the bartender couldn't help being a little surprised when he looked at the coins Jason put on the table.

A golden sail was placed under the wine glass.

"It's really generous. It seems to be quite powerful. I hope there will be more such generous guests."

The bartender prayed a little for Jason, smiled and wiped the coin in his palm, and carefully put it into his inner pocket.

outside.

Jason walked out of the tavern and walked aimlessly on the street, recalling the information he just obtained in his mind.

Processing the intelligence, thinking about which of the obtained information is more authentic.

Which ones are useful and which ones are crap.

He couldn't really count on the bartender to deliver anything too credible and secretive.

While thinking, I passed a two-story blue building.

The exaggerated and special sign on the building attracted Jason's attention.

This signboard is completely out of the same dimension as the surrounding buildings and religious atmosphere, and it is a bit too conspicuous.

There is a feeling that the painting styles are not on the same channel.

It was a slender fish like a sharp arrow. Interestingly, it had a pair of transparent thin wings like insects on its back.

A strange flying fish.

Mainly this picture is cartoon style.

Looking down, it is obvious that a special spell effect has been applied to the plaque.

Even if you don't know the words above, you can know what it means.

"Flying Fish Newspaper"

newspaper?

Jason walked in curiously.

Looking at this kind of building is very big, but the place where the guests are received has only a small window.

A piece of transparent glass blocked the two of them.

There are various things that look like books and stacks of papers hanging inside, which can be clearly seen through the glass.

An unknown fish murloc sits inside.

After seeing Jason coming, he looked up at him.

"Want to buy a newspaper? One copy for a silver snake?"

A silver snake?

Jason looked at the contents inside. Several thin, large black and white papers were stacked together.

This thing needs a silver snake?

But Jason still paid the old man and took the newspaper in his hand.

Fortunately, he still knows the characters on it.

What is written on it is the common characters of Homeland Sea.

He didn't know about the left island of Twin Islands. Anyway, the language used by the right island was the common language of Homeland Sea.

But along the way he also heard many languages ​​that he didn't understand at all.

But this language had been spoken by Simon.

It seems that the language used by Zuo Dao is different.
