Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 440
The Captain's Room on the Forecastle of Sound of Dawn.

Alka and the others sat around the round wooden table in the center of the captain's room, seeming to be discussing something.

They have been in this port city for several days, and through various information, they almost have a certain understanding of the overall situation in this area.

There was a map in front of Alka, and he looked at the map in front of him.The brown earth card appeared in front of him, and on the round tabletop, the sand and stones gathered to form an undulating sand table.

The reason why so much information can be restored based on the map is because Alka really saw this kind of sand table in the city and completely reproduced it.

With the sand table, you can also have a more intuitive understanding of the entire area.

After making the sand table, Arka pointed to the lower left corner of the entire map.There is a small stone model of a city there.

"This is where we stay. The area of ​​the devil is generally in this area."

As he spoke, Alka drew a crooked boundary line in the central depression.

"It is said that the depression here is the wound of the world. It is the wound here that completely weakens the body and barrier of the world. Demons and all kinds of ghosts and snakes can easily come here."

In other words, the island, or the mainland, was originally a whole piece, but because of the wound, there was a gap in its body spanning from the center to the border.The sea current fills in and forms a channel leading to the sea.

"And this boundary line is a long city wall. The city wall and various fortresses completely enclose this area."

Ju Anlu looked at the map: "You mean, this city wall completely surrounds the entire border of the devil?"

Alka nodded, although it sounds exaggerated, but it is true.

The city wall that encloses the entire area is equivalent to enclosing a city wall around the border of a country, which is very outrageous.

"Then it must not be built by manpower." Xia Daiti said after a simple calculation, this is too unrealistic.

"Yes, it is said to be built with treasures and is the work of the Seed of Life and the Holy Mother Church."

If it was the joint handwriting of these two churches, then it would be understandable.

Because the various abilities of these two churches and the power of the gods are more or less related to the earth and soil.

"But it doesn't mean that it's safe within the city walls. In this area, it's not very safe outside the city.

Because there are still many demons in this weak area who can reach everywhere on the continent through methods similar to rituals or portals.

It's just that the number of such demons is small and it is impossible to emerge in large numbers.Compared to the demons pouring out of the world's wounds, they are not worth mentioning, and it is difficult to occupy an area. Most of them will be wiped out after being exposed. "

Alka said.

Then he waved his hand again, and city marks appeared one after another on the map.

It can be seen that there are a total of 4 port cities similar to the city they are in now, all of which are far from the border of the devil's gap.

This is the channel connecting the outside world. Most of the materials will arrive here and then be transferred to other places through here.

After all, this place is so chaotic, you can't expect to grow any edible food here.Even if it is planted, it will not survive two generations, and it will be polluted by the abyss and various strange breaths, turning into weird things and even highly poisonous.

One road after another, spread from the city to the city wall.

These are the "blood vessels."

"Only around these transportation intersections can it be considered safe. There are not just demons in other directions.

There are also all kinds of wild beasts that have become violent because of the breath of the abyss in this area, and all kinds of outside life forms that sneak in.

These are unfriendly outside life forms not through formal means, but are either inherently hostile or intrinsically hostile. "

"What does it mean to be essentially hostile?" Pororo scratched his head and asked with some confusion.

Being hostile by nature can be thought of as a simple evil alignment, but what does this essentially mean?
Alka thought for a while and explained: "For example, there is a group from the outside world. They live by eating the flesh and blood of intelligent creatures, and they like the souls of novel intelligent creatures."

"Okay, you don't need to explain, I understand."

When Pororo heard this, he knew what it meant.

Simply put, it is the hostility of the body structure.

Everyone listened to Alka's narration and looked at the sand table in front of them.

Simply put, this is a very dangerous area with few safe areas.

Don't look at the area occupied by the Four Gods camp is very large, but most of them are not safe.

It's just much safer than the area occupied by demons.

"So what do we do now?" Lucilia asked.

They are only at the fifth stage overall, but their goal is a demon whose strength has reached the eighth stage.

He is still as cunning as a devil. He is not as reckless as other devils. It would be too difficult to cheat someone out of his life by using tricks.

When they came here, they were already prepared to fight here for a long time.

It is indeed the intention.

Now, they actually only have two options.

One, raise your strength to the completion of the sixth stage, or go out to sail after the seventh stage.

Second, stay here until you can completely kill this demon.

Choosing the first method has to bear the possibility of danger anytime and anywhere, even if they have reached the strength that they can not be afraid of the mouth of devouring in the outside world.

After all, they are their opponents, and they have already done their homework.The Devouring Mouth is trapped here like most of the demons here, but he can use his special abilities and some means to separate a clone and wreak havoc in the outside world.

The death of the avatar from the outside world will only have a moderate impact on him, and the strongest avatar in this sentence can only reach the sixth stage.

Obviously this cunning demon also knows that he will definitely use other methods to target Alka and the others.

Weaken the strength of the strong and use various insidious methods to attack.No one can guarantee that they will always be vigilant and in a perfect state.

There are too many deadly ways to defeat the weak, and Alka and the others don't want to be constantly on guard against this demon who doesn't know when it will suddenly appear when they are sailing outside.

And in order to meet such conditions, they must first improve their strength to the sixth stage of perfection or the seventh stage.

This is close to 10 years again.

During this period, they would either be on a safe island, preferably in an area with a church, such as the Twin Islands practicing penance.

Or come to Worldscar and face the Devouring Mouth in this area.In addition to the perfect defense system here, as well as the experience in dealing with it, you can meditate and practice while fighting here.

They can also strengthen their strength through the treasures in the ruins.

This is their choice, because whether it is the first way or the second way, they have to come here.

But the time spent here is short.

"We must first reach the anti-demon wall through a safe transportation channel and reach this fortress first."

Alka said and drew a circle in one direction of the city wall.

There is a fortress there, which is equivalent to a node of the city wall.

Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Alka explained directly: "According to the information, Greyfal, the witcher judge, is now in this fortress, and I still have the treasures I borrowed from him to return."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, and almost forgot about it.

"But this time, we don't have to follow everyone, we are divided into two teams."

Hearing what Alka said, everyone stared at him.Some don't know why, because they don't have anything necessary to separate them from now.

This place is not safe, and we can deal with most of the troubles together.

Alka waved his hand lightly, and an area protruded from the sand table.

"You can draw a map of this area while I'm away. Then you can learn more about this area, or the ruins and so on."

Everyone looked at the area on the sand table, which was about 200 kilometers away from the huge rock port where they were now.

It is a relatively close place.

Well, this is also one of the wilderness.There is no gathering place around, and it is far away from a safe transportation channel.

But since Alka said so, and a map of this area is still needed, it is self-evident what it means.

"And this is also an opportunity, if you want my life, or want to be against you, now is the best time.

We can get an idea of ​​how far he can go in this place by how he responds to our situation.

Then we can have better ways to target him. "

Alka said what he was thinking at this time.

Faced with this idea, everyone started chatting among themselves, but I didn't object.

"The Heart of Vastva is also temporarily under your care." Alka said, and a crystal sphere floated out of his body and was then placed on the table.

"Why?" Xia Daiti asked a question that he didn't understand.

Alka looked at Lucilia and asked: "You should have felt it, too. Although this area is very chaotic, the space is very solid.

If you want to carry out long-distance space teleportation, it can only be accomplished through suspicion or special means.It is very difficult and risky to carry out long-distance transmission at will like the outside world. "

Hearing Alka's words, Lucilia nodded, indeed.

“Since we have to deal with the Devouring Mouth, we must also ensure certain safety measures.

Although the space has become very stable, if there is a Vastva Star, it will be very easy to open the teleporters into the space.It's not about long-distance teleportation, I've tried it before.

This will provide you with adequate security when danger strikes. "

Obviously, the anti-epidemic measures here are aimed at those demons to prevent them from wreaking havoc within the city walls.

Hearing this, Xia Detti looked at Alka and said, "What about yourself?"

At this moment, Alka smiled, and a mirror appeared in his hand, and then the scenery in the mirror changed into a scene like a dream.

"Although the space here has become stable, the connection with the dream has not changed. I can connect to the dream world through the mirror to teleport or escape.

It's more convenient than using Vastva, but that's just me. "

Moreover, the space in this area is so stable that the space-related capabilities of Vastva Star will also be weakened.With or without this treasure, it doesn't have much impact on Alka.

After listening to Alka's explanation, Xia Detti nodded. This is indeed a good method.

Take the Star of Gaswa directly.

"Then it's decided, we're leaving now, and soon there will be a convoy going to the anti-magic wall."

Arka stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and left Voice of Dawn.

Act decisively and quickly.

…………

After passing through the port and the city, Alka came to the wall of the megalithic port.

There is a huge warehouse here, and a convoy has already stopped here, and the top of the convoy is full of various supplies.

Looking at the vehicle used to transport supplies, Alka could tell at a glance that it was definitely a product of the Holy Machine Church.

This is a vehicle similar to a truck in construction, but different from a truck.This type of transport does not have a front end.

Simply put, it is a separate compartment that acts alone.

Like a vehicle, the four tires are fixed at the four corners of the carriage, which looks extremely simple.

But looking at the mechanical structure and spells on it, I know it can definitely be activated.

And it's still solid.

There are a total of 12 such transport vehicles, lined up in a long line, and the materials transported on them are full.

And this is only the materials that go to a certain fortress through a safe transportation line.Alka has learned about such transport convoys. There are several convoys every day, but they go in different directions.

It is enough to see how many soldiers are resisting at the anti-magic fortress.

Moreover, Alka could clearly see that on the packaging bags of these supplies, the imprints from the Holy Mother Church and the Seed of Life could be clearly seen.

This already shows that these materials are jointly provided by the two churches.

And this time the transportation should be all food and medicinal materials.

For the Church of Our Lady, it is very normal to have a good harvest of food, and the Church of the Seed of Life can provide a variety of food and supplies.

Both churches belong to the kind of forces with strong logistical capabilities, because even their gods have powers in this regard.

In addition to these 12 vehicles, you can also see escorts with at least 20 people on both sides.

Alka looked very interesting at this group of guard soldiers. They were wearing lighter armor, which should be for the convenience of movement, after all, they had to travel long distances.

He held a long spear in his hand, but from behind Arka saw that they were wearing a weapon that looked like a rock-shock gun.

Alka has a certain understanding of them and is a transportation guard specially organized to transport various materials.

Their duty is to protect the transportation of supplies and not go to the front lines to fight, although of course they will go if necessary.

In addition to these 20 guards and some necessary personnel, there are many other people who follow the transport team.

It's not just soldiers on the front lines.

Among these people were mercenaries, demon hunters, and some people who couldn't tell what they were trying to do.

Although it is a safe passage, you will still encounter some accidents. It will be safer if everyone works together.

Alka, like them, stood beside the car, waiting for the convoy to start.

As for the transport convoy, they essentially welcome these people to follow them.

As for whether there will be some idle people mixed in, as long as it is not on the side of the devil.

And no one dares to actually get hold of these supplies, because they are facing the churches of the four gods. No one in their right mind in the boundless sea would offend the four gods at once.

Moreover, there are countless powerful people here. Doing things in this kind of place is tantamount to offending people all over the world.

"Get ready, let's go!"

A slightly chubby middle-aged man in light armor who looked like the leader of the convoy waved and said.

Then 12 transport vehicles started at the same time, and started to leave in a straight formation towards the gate.

Although the gate is open, there are indeed very few people coming and going. After all, if there is no strength, no one will go out rashly.

As the transport vehicle started, Alka followed the people who were going to move together, around or behind the vehicle.

The transportation speed of the convoy is not fast, and the approximate speed is like a normal adult running.

For people like Alka and the others, they can easily keep up with just a few quick steps.

If Alka acted alone and went quickly along the safe road, it would take less time.

But he felt that it was easier to understand some of the situation here by following the team.

After walking for a while, the people who were relatively unfamiliar at first began to chat with each other from time to time, which was regarded as acquaintances to kill the boring time on the road.

"Brother, is this your first time here?" A bald man dressed as a mercenary asked Alka next to him.

Beside this mercenary bald man were his companions.

Alka nodded: "Yes, I just arrived here not long ago."

"You have just arrived. Are you going to the front line? If you are going to the front line to fight against the Holy War, can you join us? Or are you planning to join the army?"

The bald mercenary asked curiously.

After all, it is a war to protect the world and resist demons, so many people call this war of resistance a holy war.

It sounds very suitable.

It sounds like a jihad, so I know that there are people from all over the world going here to volunteer for the war, and there are also mercenaries like them coming here.

After all, so many powerful forces have their bases here, and there are many job opportunities here.

Join the war freely, kill demons, become a mercenary or join the army, these are all ways to participate in the holy war.

"No, I just want to know about this place and find someone by the way."

After hearing Alka's simple explanation, the bald mercenary nodded and did not ask in detail.

Instead, he started talking to himself: "My brothers and I are just ordinary mercenaries who come here with some money to kill demons.

You know, there are some materials on demons that are very valuable. Although these demons are also very strong, who can't live with money? "

Having said this, the mercenary smiled twice and said: "Let me meet you, my name is Putuo. I am the captain of this mercenary team, and these are my team members."

The team members behind him also smiled at Alka as a greeting.

"My name is Alka, I'm probably a treasure hunter."

Hearing that Alka was a treasure hunter, Putuo nodded in realization.

There is also no shortage of treasure hunters looking to find treasure in this place.Although the number is much smaller than these mercenary soldiers, they can still be seen from time to time.

Moreover, many well-known treasure hunting teams have come out of here, so it is not uncommon to see treasure hunters here.

"Then I hope you can harvest enough wealth to live the rest of your life in this place." Putuo said with a smile.

"You too, may the Holy Mother bless you in the war." Arka smiled and crossed his hands.

Seeing this gesture, Putuo quickly gestured in return.

I have to say that the action is quite standard, and when making this action, Alka can still feel the belief in the Virgin emanating from him.Although it is very weak, it is better than nothing.

Putuo smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be a believer in the Holy Mother Church."

Doesn't quite fit in with the treasure hunter.

Just like this, there are casual chats, and from time to time there will be chats with other people in the same industry. Alka and these people are simply familiar with each other.

Except for the two demon hunters who kept walking in silence, the others did not disturb them.

Even the guard soldiers in front would chat with them from time to time.

The atmosphere between them is pretty good.
