Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

Alka ended her meditation in the observation room.

"Sure enough, the efficiency of meditation is not as high as before. Has it returned to normal?"

Although the meditation efficiency at this stage is higher than that of the normal three stages, it has generally returned to normal in the fourth stage.

During the last few spirals, Alka led him to improve crazily because the strength gap in the dream was too large.

This made his meditation efficiency extremely exaggerated and his strength constantly improving.

With the five stages of dreaming, the four stages of reality have finally reached a certain balance, at least not as fragmented as before.

The efficiency of natural strength improvement in the dream world has also been greatly slowed down.

Although Alka's current strength improvement is still higher than that of ordinary people, at least it is not as exaggerated as before and has become slightly normal.

"27×3... To reach stage 5, you need 81 spirals."

Alka's whole face collapsed when he thought about the 54 spirals he would have to upgrade later.

"Oh my gosh, how long does it take to make 54 spirals?"

Thinking of this, Alka lay down directly on the floor of the observation room.

Stare up at the ceiling.

Only when you reach this stage will you realize how exaggerated the current total number of ×3 is, and the exponential increase is really outrageous.

Stages 4~5 are 81 spirals.

Stages 5 to 6 are 243 spirals.

Stages 6~7 are 729 spirals.

Stages 7~8 are...

The more I think about Alka, the more I feel that my future is hopeless. I can only rely on time to grind it out.

Alka suddenly felt that only a few had become gods in the past ten thousand years, and not many were famous. The reason was strongly related to the improvement of his own strength.

Relying on spirals and stages, the strength is gradually improved to reach the limit beyond the life of the race itself.

This power setup is truly genius, and the time it takes is a necessary price to pay.

Alka felt the changes in his own strength.

With the current efficiency of meditation, it will probably take more than 5 years to reach the fifth stage if it is full every day.

"It's difficult, I can only grind it slowly."

As Alka spoke, he stood up and looked outside, looking at the endless dark sea.

I don’t know how quickly higher-level treasures can bring about increased strength.

It has to be twice as fast as a Holy Grail-level treasure, right?

The thoughts emanating like this are alert to the surrounding situation. Until the successor Pororo came to take over his position.

A hanging basket made of vines appeared next to the observation room.

Alka stood on it and was slowly moved to the stern by the vines.

He returned to his room and began to rest.

He quickly fell into dreamland.

Arriving in his dream bubble, Alka felt his figure shatter and disappear directly.

Xuan, who was sitting on Huan's back, was patrolling the Dream Royal Court on a routine basis.

Suddenly, broken lenses appeared next to them, and they came together to form Alka's figure.

"dad?"

Xuan jumped directly onto Alka's shoulders. Alka looked at her and asked: "How is it? There is no problem outside, right?"

"No, it's just a little boring."

"Well, bear with it."

Alka stood there, looking down.

There is still fog below, but most of the buildings have certain outlines.

Look at the exaggerated building complex below.

Alka frowned, somewhat incomprehensible.

“Who would live in such an exaggerated building complex?”

Although Alka couldn't understand the architectural style of the buildings below, he had basically never seen similar styles in the outside world.

Most are various diamond ring shapes.

The intertwined buildings of various shapes are combined and mosaic together. It is called architecture, but it looks more like some kind of art.

It's like a strange large sculpture.

And most of them have the characteristics of clouds, or crystal-like effects.

But as the number of such things increased, it actually turned into a building area of ​​a certain special style.

Almost covering the entire bottom of the mirror world.

The most common structure is something like a spiral, surrounded by a circular aperture.

But there are too many, too broad. Alka's knowledge blind spot has been completely touched upon.

As Alka finished speaking, the shadow robe appeared beside Alka.

The answer: "This is the basic architectural standard of the royal court and cannot be reduced. Among the royal courts of kings, this standard is already considered small."

Hearing this, Alka looked at the area below.

Is this still small?

If he calculated correctly, the area of ​​his royal court was about 2/3 of the Twin Islands, and the densely packed buildings almost covered this 2/3 area.

Even the Twin Islands, with two churches and one half per person, would not have such dense buildings and still have streets left.

And most of the buildings are hollow in the middle, after all, they are meant for people to live in.

But for dream creatures, these things are not needed at all, and it is still a three-dimensional space, and these buildings are stacked on top of each other.

The density is amazing.

Is this still small?

"So what are these buildings used for specifically?" Alka asked Shadow Robe.

"It can increase the recovery speed of dream creatures, slowly enhance their strength, and even allow them to split themselves under certain circumstances."

"Wait...what does splitting oneself mean?" Alka asked with some confusion.

"Well..." These words suddenly made Yingpao a little stuck. He didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

He had to use a meaning that Alka could accurately understand.

"Reproduction?"

"I understand, go on." Alka immediately stopped the topic and asked him to continue.

“After the world was broken and its will fell into slumber, no new compatriots were born, and the losses from the outside world also affected us.

Our number will inevitably decrease, and it is difficult to repair the outside world with the current number of dream creatures. "

Having said this, Yingpao thought for a while and prepared to say what he needed to say all at once.

"It's not that easy to truly repair the world. The world is now stuck in an endless loop.

The only way to quickly and stably restore the world is to spread mist-like creatures throughout the dreamland, but this is obviously impossible.

Mist-like creatures can now only gather in dreams corresponding to more populated areas, and even then there are not enough of them.

If she wanted to increase the number of mist-like creatures, she would have to revive the world, but that would make her fall into inescapable pain.

The second is that there are more lives in the outside world, the chaos is reduced, and it becomes stable. "

If you want the outside world to have more life, less chaos, and become more stable, you need more mist-like creatures.

More mist creatures require more life outside, less chaos, and more stability.

However, we have now fallen into an infinite loop. No matter what we do, we can only maintain the status quo, and it will even get worse.

"So these buildings?"

“Yes, that’s right, the kings of the dreamland set such a standard tens of thousands of years ago.

Although the probability of producing the same kind is small, it is not 0, and these buildings can also strengthen and repair the external environment. "

After saying this, Alka completely understood.

The so-called Royal Court is equivalent to the largest restoration group in the world.

At least for Alka, where almost all the creatures in the royal court are mist-like creatures, their royal court is like this.

This is consistent with Alka's goal philosophy.

After listening, Alka nodded and stopped asking any more questions.

He even began to observe the construction process of these fog-like creatures more carefully, and carefully understood the reasons why these buildings and themselves affected the world.

He needs to understand the details and know more clearly. Only then can we truly make efforts to repair the world when we become stronger.

…

In order to find Zehai, they spent more than 100 days and nights at sea.

But when they left Zehai and went straight to the Twin Islands, it only took them less than 20 days and nights.

Because at that time, Zehai seemed to have just drifted to a place not far from the Twin Island Chain.

It can also be regarded as a kind of luck.

"We're finally here." Jason looked at the large island in the distance.

And this time the ships coming and going around breathed a sigh of relief.

They hugged the edge of the island and circled around it, entering the central harbor from the entrance.

Officially returned to the Twin Islands.

It was just as they had left it, nothing strange about it.

Dock the boat.

A priest wearing the robes of the Holy Mother Church led a few soldiers to look at Alka's ship. And the inevitably eye-catching treasure tree on their ship.

Alka and the others looked at the precious tree and couldn't help but sigh.

This thing is too conspicuous, but it can't be covered at all.

In such a crowded port, sometimes you have to sigh. This can be regarded as the first little trouble caused by the change of ship.

The priest looked at the iconic bird head on the stern of the ship.

Apparently he recognized whose ship it was.

"Lord Alka, can the tree on your boat be covered?" the priest asked loudly.

Hearing the words below, Alka shook his head helplessly.

This tree is still in the growing stage, and it is obviously not possible to cover it for a long time.

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

"At least a week."

Hearing Alka's answer, the priest nodded.

Then the magic power under the water surged out into two streams of water, lifting the Sound of Dawn and falling onto the slide rail in front.

With the operation of the slide rail, the sailboat entered an open-air warehouse.

Only then did everyone leave the ship and walk off the deck.

The open-air warehouse is equivalent to four walls blocking the surroundings of the ship. Only the tallest mast protrudes from it and can be seen from the outside.

Compared with other protective properties, the main purpose is to prevent outsiders from seeing the treasure tree, so as not to be unable to restrain the greed in their hearts.

After thanking the pastor for a while.

Simon said: "Then I'll go to the church first to collect the materials you want, as well as the information on the incantation rituals."

The others nodded and watched Simon take the ferry boat in the middle to the other side.

Went to a hotel not far away and rented several rooms in a townhouse.

After returning to the room.

Alka said to everyone: "It's rare to come here. If you want to buy anything, do it now.

Okay, let’s disband and let each of us move freely. "

You know, although they did not get the most valuable Nafas family treasure in Zehai this time.

But in the Land of Fragrance, he helped the church complete various commissions and helped them find and arrest those cultists.

This resulted in almost every one of them carrying at least close to a thousand golden sails.

This is already a huge amount of money.

Except for Jason, of course.

Because he still owes everyone a few hundred gold sails, and he may only become rich when they take the Nafas family's treasure.

When he thought of this, Jason looked at Pororo.

"While Urulius is away now, I'm going to have a drink, you know."

Pororo shook his head impatiently and followed Jason out.

Not because he wanted to drink too, but because he had money and Jason didn't.

Soon only Alka and several sleeping doll girls were left in the room.

The rest have all left.

Rested in the room for a while.

Alka left the room and walked towards the church.

When we arrived at the church gate, we walked around in a circle. Enter through the side door on the side.

The guarding knights and the surrounding priests did not stop him when they saw it was Alka. Instead, they nodded towards him.

Alka was already familiar with them when he was checking information before.

After all, this island is neither big nor small, and the overall number of church personnel is limited.

If you stay for a while, you'll basically get used to it.

Walking around the huge church hall, we came to the library on the edge.

"Alka? Long time no see, a year, right? The ship you parked at sea is very conspicuous." A middle-aged man wearing glasses sat at the counter and looked at Alka and said with a smile.

"Did the news spread so quickly?" Alka asked with some confusion.

He had just logged in, which meant he was delayed for a while looking for a hotel to rest. The news has already reached here.

"Haha, friend, the treasure tree on your ship is too conspicuous. Knight Marlow even complained that he had to send more troops to guard it for you." He raised his glasses and said with a smile.

Alka could only shrug helplessly.

"Thank you to Knight Marlowe for me. Our Lady will bless a steady man like him."

He nodded: "What do you want to ask this time?"

After all, Alka didn't really want to read when he came here.

"I'd like to know if there are any incantations about stars, starry sky or similar, and rituals too."

He frowned when he heard Alka's words.

"Is it related to stars and starry sky..."

He frowned and thought, then flipped through the thick catalog in his hand.

"Yes, there are, but there aren't many records here, and you may not necessarily have what you want. And there are a lot of duplicates.

If you want more, I suggest you check out the big library next door. They like to collect these strange information, even if there is none, there will be a lot of clues and insights. "

The next door he was talking about was naturally the Holy Mechanism Church.

Alka nodded: "Thanks, I'll go there first."

"Go ahead and walk inside to the 4th row and the 13th bookcase from the right. Most of them are placed there."

Alka followed the guidance just now and came to the tall bookcase.

"Broken Stars", "Changing Stars", "Denseness of the Night Sky", "Changes of Countless Stars", "Starry Sky Demon", "Alien Star Destruction"...

Countless books related to the stars and night sky are scattered here.

Alka picked up a book at random and started to read.

Most of the records here are about the changes in the starry sky after the world was broken and there was no barrier.

Alka has only now discovered this world, and his understanding of the star realm is much deeper than he thought.

"The Magilak Mercenary Group comes from the fourth star in the southern triangle area between the dense mountains and the north."

A mercenary group from another world?

We still know too little.

In addition to these, there are various gods who once had stars as part of their duties.

Alka saw a familiar name here.

Hochar Mela.

Alka began to look at his message from the perspective of a bystander.

Well, there isn’t much information here, I just mentioned it maybe.

The information they obtained before in the Land of Fragrance came from the Holy Scriptures, with a very serious beautification effect.

Active during the Divine War, he was an important priest under the Flower Fairy.

It is said that the flower fairy bestowed divinity from the stars.

Outsiders gave her a title.

Secret Starry Flower.

Alka flipped through all kinds of starry sky information.

Finally, I saw a ceremony similar to that related to the stars.

Moreover, this ritual was excavated from a certain ruins. This is an archaeological discovery of an ancient starry sky god.

Alka, who finally found something, cheered up a little and started to check more carefully.

Alka finally saw a few spells about stars.

[Starlight] The brightness is not very high, but it is extremely penetrating.

It can be seen in the night sky even from very far away, and is usually used for signal transmission or on top of a lighthouse.

[Star Divination] The core incantation of the most applicable star divination method, which is extremely accurate in divining the fate of mortals.

Once the contact is involved, the accuracy is only about 10% to 15%, and wrong information will often be given and expressed in strange ways.

Use with caution.

It is also written below that this mantra cannot be transmitted to any of the four sea areas.

Because there is still a mortal world, only the Four Gods Sea Area is left.

In the boundless sea, ordinary mortals have almost disappeared.

Most people have at least some magic power in their bodies, just a little bit.

After roughly understanding this, Alka put the book back.

Look at the sunlight outside the window next to you.

The sunlight penetrated through the window, and an hourglass appeared in Alka's hand.

Nineteen hours of daylight have passed, and night is not far away.

Alka said goodbye to her acquaintances in the library and headed back to the hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, only Xia Detti and Lucilia were chatting about something and seemed to be designing some clothes.

No one else was there.

The two saw Alka coming back.

"How was it? Did you gain anything today?"

"Yes, the harvest is not much, but the library of the Holy Mechanic Church has more content. Now we can only wait and see what Simon gains."

After hearing Alka's words, the two people nodded.

"You're all back, come and help us take a look at the designs of these clothes."

"Okay, let me take a look."

With that said, Alka walked over and looked at the two people's designs.
