Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 394 Dilemma
A large number of temple buildings can still be seen in this small city, and the overall style is still the same as that seen in the ruins of Vastwa.

Majestic, but correspondingly looks very simple.

Alkage and others watched around in the city.

Surrounded by Vastwa, they looked at them with curious eyes.

Alka could see most of the civilians inside, and they all looked a little thin.

There are very obvious signs of insufficient nutritional intake.

Not only these civilians, even some of those who just came with the Great Elder, this is the case.

Only people like Kavala or Vata look a little more normal.

Soon the rickety old man.

The person they called the Great Elder led the Arkaji people into the tallest building in the entire city.

"This is the Tower of Autumn, the last one among the four towers that is still well preserved." The Great Elder introduced it to several people.

Lucilia, who was sitting on Arka's shoulder, turned her head to look at the appearance of the entire tower.

It can be seen that this tower is very old, but it can also be seen from some of the structures and layouts inside that this tower should be very strong at its most glorious time, and it has a lot of capabilities.

From the wall, many exposed magic power circulation lines, as well as some inscribed spells that have long been worn away, can be seen.

"Is this one of the Towers of Four Seasons?"

"It seems that you really know some of the culture of Vasterva very well, so are the Tower of Winter and the Great Temple really outside?" The elder stood by a table with a cane, and sat slowly. Asked about the position.

Alka nodded: "If the map is correct, the extended corner is indeed outside."

As he spoke, several people sat down at the table under the gesture of the Great Elder.

There are still some people standing around, which should be regarded as some leaders among the existing Vastwa people.

Then the whole room became quiet.

After the Great Elder coughed twice, he raised his head slightly and looked at Alka and the others on the opposite side.

"I am here to ask you to help us. We hope to be able to leave this place with our people. In exchange, we can give you everything from the Vastwa people."

The Great Elder said this very firmly, and the other people behind had no intention of stopping it, obviously they all had such determination.

Hearing this, Alka looked at them, waved his hands and said, "Of course, you are free. If you want to go out, I can open the door."

Hearing this, the great elder and those behind him showed joy visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, thank you."

Alka looked at them and said, "Although I don't want to say it clearly, I think it's unlikely that you will survive even if you go out."

"What do you mean?" A slightly tall and thin man behind the Great Elder asked with a frown.

Their originally happy expressions also froze on their faces.

"You should know clearly, how many years have you been trapped here?"

Hearing Alka's question, the First Elder nodded.

"Of course, we will always remember. According to records, we were trapped in this world in 4143 of the city calendar.

And now 36826 years have passed. "

"More than 36000 years?" Even though he knew they had been trapped for such a long time, Alka couldn't help being a little startled when he heard the length of time.

What was that exaggerated length of time?

To be honest, it was completely impossible for Alka to imagine it, it was already beyond the scope of his thinking.

In his mind, hundreds or even thousands of years is already a very exaggerated length of time.

But when he actually saw the Vastwa trapped in a place like this for more than 36000 years, he couldn't help feeling sorry for them.

He has to admire, this is really a strong race.

Has not been destroyed for so much time.

"But according to speculation, the God War has only been in the past for more than 3 years." Simon said suddenly.

"That is to say, the time period when the city-state of Vastwa was destroyed was actually thousands of years before the end of the war of gods?" Xia Dai thought about it and asked.

She felt a little unbelievable when she said it.

So God War has been fighting for so many years?
Or, in fact, in the era when Vastewa was destroyed, the war of gods had not yet begun?
This is unknown.

"We'll talk about these things later." Alka interrupted their communication.

If the history of the Vastwa people is really well preserved, they are likely to see the stories that happened in that golden age in detail.

But that's clearly not the point now.

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the Great Elder and the others, and said to them seriously: "You have been trapped here for so long, so let me tell you about the general situation outside after you were trapped here. "

The Great Elder nodded, and the rest of the people behind him also slightly pricked up their ears.

It's really slightly pricked up ears.

Just like Alka, they are curious about how these people survived here in the past 3 years, and what happened 3 years ago.They're equally curious, what's going on outside the 3 years they've been trapped?
"I want to confirm, when you were trapped here, did the understanding of the outside world mean that the gods were at war at that time?"

Hearing Alka's question, the Great Elder turned to look at a person behind him.

That's because of slightly younger women.

Seeing the eyes of the Great Elder, she nodded, took a step forward, looked at Alka and the others and said, "According to the historical records we kept, we were resisting the large-scale invasion of the God of War at that time.

But at this moment Reckless-Mead attacked us with his troops.During the sudden attack of the war, the high priest at that time closed our space connection point with the outside world.

But at this time, the reckless used his ability to forcibly destroy the temple that was closing the node and the area where the Tower of Winter was located.

This results in a break between the inner and outer sides.At first we thought the gate would be open soon, until it never opened again, we knew there was something unexpected out there. "

Alka nodded: "Was the war among the gods fierce at that time?"

"It's a little more intense than usual."

Got it, the early days of the war.So, the war between the gods is actually normal?

It's just that this time it has been spreading, and it's getting bigger and bigger.

"Well, anyway, after you were imprisoned, the war between the gods became more and more fierce, until the war broke the world into pieces."

Hearing this, the Great Elder and the people behind him couldn't hold back anymore.

It took tens of thousands of years to wait until dawn, but the outside was already broken.

"Okay, listen to me."

"When the world was broken into pieces, the surviving gods left one after another. In the end, only 4 gods chose to stay. They began to use their respective abilities to repair the broken world, and barely put it together.

These four gods are Holy... Mother of Stone, Sea God, Wise Man, and Life. "

Arka looked at them after speaking.

It was still the woman who stood up, she frowned: "I know the stone mother and the sea god. But what is the wise man and life?"

Obviously, she had never heard the names of the latter two gods.

"It's normal not to have heard of it, maybe they changed their name.

After all, more than 3 years have passed, hasn't it? "

If Arka referred to the Mother of Stone as the Virgin, they might not understand who it was either.

In other words, since ancient times, the only one who has not changed his name is Seagod.

"In the end, the world became based on the ocean, on which the fragments that once existed were spliced ​​together to form various islands.

So now it's a world of oceans outside. "

"How is this done? The world should have its own consciousness. If it is all broken, the world is dead. Even if it is spliced ​​together, the world should be broken and destroyed."

Because the hair is a little thin, the person who looks about to be in the middle age frowned and said.

He seemed a little confused about the way this broken world was maintained.

Hearing this, Alka kept an eye out.

It seems that the Vastwa people also have some research on the consciousness of the world.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, the world is running like this now, and it has been running for tens of thousands of years."

Hearing Alka's words, some people nodded, and they can only understand these things when they go out.

"So what do you mean by mortal danger?" asked one of them, looking at Alka.

Alka pointed to Kavala who came up with them.

"See the allergic reaction on the two of them?"

At this time, there were still some red spots on the two of them that had not completely subsided, and they could still see traces of these allergies on their bodies.

"High magic syndrome, an allergic reaction caused by touching too high magic power." A woman said.

Alka nodded: "That's right, if it's just because the magic power contained in the magic mist I radiated has caused you to have such allergic symptoms. Then the outside world is full of magic power in the air, and you can really survive. ?
Every breath, every object, every action.All around is full of magic. "

Alka felt that even in the deliberately created low-magic environment of Homeland Sea, they might not be able to survive, and they would definitely be weakened by the environment.

Not to mention the boundless sea, a place where normal mortals would have their magic power active due to the high magic environment.

Even ordinary people living in the four seas suddenly entered such an environment, because the magic power in their bodies was too active, they would not adapt to death.

These people in front of them will be allergic to a little bit of magic power, and going out for a few breaths may really trigger an internal allergic reaction, and various problems will arise.

"Is it really full of magic outside?" the woman who had just answered the symptoms muttered to herself.

They have developed a serious disconnect with the outside world, as well as problems with their worldview and cognitive attitude.

Then he looked up at the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, if this is the case, we must not go out rashly, we will not be able to live outside at all."

"You have been here for more than 3 years, and the environment here has already changed some of your physical conditions." After such a long time, in order to adapt to the environment, some changes are inevitable.

The Great Elder held his face in pain, he didn't know what to do now.

Staying here is waiting to die, and going out is to die immediately.

Looking at them, Alka suggested: "If you don't mind, you can tell me about some of your difficulties. I think I should be able to provide you with some help."

Hearing this sentence, the Great Elder and the people behind him glanced at each other, and then the Great Elder looked at him.

"If it's possible, thank you very much."

"It's just a hands-on effort."

It is impossible for him to really watch so many people die in vain.

"The biggest problem we are facing now is that we hardly have much food, and all the magic power here is almost consumed by us."

The most basic food needs?

According to what they learned, there were tens of thousands of people left in the Vastwa people. It would indeed be a waste of money to feed so many people.

But for them, it is actually acceptable.

After thinking about it, Alka got up and said to them: "If you don't mind, just take us around your city, I want to see the problems you are facing with my own eyes, so that I can come up with a solution.

"No problem." Then the Great Elder picked two candidates from behind, and led Alka and the others away from the tower.

While the rest stayed in the tower to discuss what Arka had just said.

This is also the process that Alka gave them to discuss, and only in this way can they have a better dialogue.

"Let's take a look at your food-making process first," Alka said.

When he communicated with Waku outside before, he had a general understanding of their food.Now I just want to see it with my own eyes, and the people who lead them are the woman who just told the history and a man who didn't talk much.

"You can call me Labert," said the male Vastwa.

"My name is Afia." The female Vastwa, who seemed to know a lot about history, introduced herself.

Alka and the others nodded, and then followed behind them.

While chatting, I came to what seemed to be the edge of the city.

This is an ordinary house, but there are patrols patrolling around.

What they hold in their hands is a very simple stick weapon.

Obviously, what they have to guard against is nothing more than thieves of the same race.

For outsiders like Alka and the others, everyone cast curious eyes on them, which is unique.

After entering, this room is not big, except for the storage place.What Alka saw was the kind of battery used to store magic power they had seen before, but this kind of battery was bigger and rougher.

Alka took a look at the magic power inside, and at most it was worth the magic power in a toucher who was less than the second stage.

Can't really count as much.

And the magic power is connected to a machine like a funnel, and the center and inside of the funnel have a relatively complicated mechanical structure.

Then a worker next to him got a little nervous, but he still threw some pale green plants into it.

"These plants are why we settled here, and the back is the only land left that can still grow plants," Labert explained.

Then a few people saw the grass roots of various plants condense in the magic power, and a brown-green liquid flowed out from below.

It exudes a faint fragrance, but the appearance is obviously not very good.

It feels more like some kind of medicine than food.

"Then we can produce such a nutrient solution, which is condensed by magic power and plant nutrition." Labert introduced.

Then he passed the nutrient solution to Alka.

Alka looked at it and gave it to the people behind him.

"To be honest, apart from bringing some nutrition, this really isn't food." Simon said, looking at the things in his hands.

Alka nodded indeed.

But if you understand the status quo here, you can understand.

But don't let Hu Anlu see this thing, maybe he will study it strangely, and let them taste it at some point.

"Where's the water? What about the water?" Alka asked.

"Create water through magic power and then use the water-making spell." Afia next to him said directly.

This is simpler and more direct.

"That is to say, in fact, the magic power consumed by making water should be the bulk of yours, right?" Alka asked.

But in fact, it doesn't feel right, after all, these people don't have too much peculiar smell on their bodies.

If water is such an important resource, then they can obviously not bathe without bathing.

"That's right, but we have an artifact that can create a lot of water with a very small amount of mana."

Hearing this, Alka nodded clearly.

The so-called artifact should mean treasure.

After all, they learned from some records that the Vastwa people should indeed have several treasures.

For example, the three treasures that represent the seasons of spring, summer and autumn are left inside, and there are many treasures that are not related to the seasons.

The Hidden Eye should all hold a treasure.

Of course, this is just speculation, after all, the world and power system in that era were different.

"The treasure should have a lot of energy, right? It's unlikely that you are so worried about the magic power." Simon suddenly found something and asked.

"An artifact? Most of the magic power in the artifact has been drained by us."

Is it so outrageous?
