Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

Golden Maisui Island

The midday sun hangs high in the sky, and its dazzling light reflects the sparkling waves on the blue sea.

There are large areas of golden wheat ears on the island, which bloom like gold under the sunlight.

Surrounded by golden wheat ears, a winding country gravel road extends to the side of the wheat field.

It was an ordinary stone house unique to the island, surrounded by a low wooden wall, and a tall tree could be seen growing inside the wooden wall.

Looking in through the open wooden and grass window of the stone house, a figure was squatting beside the bed near the window.

This young male figure was squatting beside the wooden bed in his room, bending his head and looking under his bed.

He has short black hair, and his face looks a little childish, but he already shows a slightly handsome appearance.

In the darkness, through the sunlight shining into the room through the window, I saw that the cloth bag at the bottom of the bed was bulging, as if it contained something.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face, this was what he was looking for.

"Treasure Hunter's Tool Bag"

He moved up a few steps, reached out and groped in the darkness, held the edge of the bag, and pulled the bag out with force.

As it was pulled, the bag also made a clanking sound, indicating that there were some iron objects in the bag.

The force coming from the drag also means that the content inside is not light.

After pulling out the bag, the mouth of the bag was not tied up and some of the things inside were revealed.

There were no burning torches, a shovel with a short handle, an irregular and slightly curved iron rod, a rope and an iron grappling hook.

He knelt down and poured out all the contents of the bag.

In addition to the above items, there was also a sheathed short-handled sword and something similar to a flint.

But what Alka cared about was not these, but the palm-sized pamphlet on it.

The surface of the booklet is wrapped in some kind of animal leather, and the paper inside is also yellowish in color.

The booklet is in very good condition and looks like it has seen some age, but the footers are not curled.

The top of the booklet reads "Captain Alka's Treasure Hunting Manual" in strange fonts.

Alka is himself.

He's not a captain either, just some kind of childlike claim to be that.

I flipped through it casually, and the words recorded inside were all treasure legends on the island.

Holding the pamphlet in his hand, Alka stood up again and sat heavily on the edge of the bed.

His expression couldn't help but turn pensive.

These are "my" things.

Thinking of his bizarre experience, Alka couldn't help but shake his head.

I never thought that one day I would actually travel through time, something that happens in entertainment works.

But to myself, it was indeed a miracle.

I recall that at that time, I was in the hospital bed, enduring pain and waiting for my near death.

I closed my eyes in pain and was finally able to sleep easily.

When he woke up again, he had already taken over this body.

By the way, I also inherited the memory of this body.

These memories were slowly restored within two days, from far to near.

He didn't know how the original person died until morning.

Died by "curse".

This body is 16 years old and dreams of becoming a treasure hunter on the sea.

Nine days ago, he really found the treasure.

The first treasure he found in his treasure hunting life also became his last treasure.

And the treasure...

Alka groped under his pillow and took out a dull silver coin.

The treasure is this silver coin.

The silver coin is a little dull and black, which means it has a history. An S-shaped silver snake is carved on the front, and a three-petaled flower is carved on the back.

The scratch on the silver snake's head is very conspicuous.

Other than that, this is an ordinary silver coin, a "silver snake", a currency in circulation.

Although valuable, it is not enough to buy one's own life.

"There are still five days... no, there are still four and a half days."

Alka turned her head from the window next to the bed, looked at the bright sun hanging in the sky and murmured to herself.

Who would have thought that this ordinary silver snake in his hand would be cursed.

If he had heard a curse on a silver coin before, Alka would have just smiled and treated it as a joke.

But the sudden death of his predecessor forced him to pay attention.

Nine days ago, the previous owner of this body dug up the silver snake. The silver snake was packed in a small iron box.

There is also a message engraved on the iron box.

"Return it within seven days and you will get the treasure. After seven days, you will die from the curse."

A very simple and straightforward statement, but the original owner at the time didn't take it to heart at all.

Who would believe this kind of thing?

There is no supernatural power in the memory. At most, the physique of people in this world is generally much better than in the previous life.

Then.

Two days ago, he really died in his sleep.

After occupying this body, since the memory is from far to near, all the memories of the original owner were completely restored this morning.

In the past, I had been pretending to be sick, hiding in the house, waiting for my memory to be fully restored before I could judge the current situation.

Similarly, the death of the original owner means that the "curse" is real and not a joke.

It has been 2 and a half days since I traveled through time, and I have 4 and a half days left to reach the 7-day deadline.

7 days of my own.

Perhaps the original owner has already endured this curse, and he is just resurrected from this body, and may not necessarily die after another 7 days.

But for Alka, who had just traveled through time and resurrected from this corpse, he didn't dare to gamble at all.

He doesn't want to die yet.

The days of waiting for death in his previous life made him despair. Finally, he was reborn. How could he just wait for death like this?

Even if it is just a possibility, he is not willing to gamble.

He must return the silver coin, true or false.

This is all we can do now.

Alka took a deep breath and began to analyze the current situation.

First, it is learned through memory that this silver coin is part of Jack the Magician's treasure.

The original owner also obtained the silver coin through this clue.

This is just a small clue before getting to the final treasure.

In other words, as long as he finds the final treasure of Jack the Magician and returns the silver coin, he can lift the curse.

Really survive.

Alka began to extract information related to Magician Jack's treasure from his memory.

Magician Jack, formerly known as Jack Monk, was born on Golden Straw Island more than 200 years ago and went to sea to make a fortune when he was young.

He did not return until late in his 50s, by which time he had already made a name for himself in the surrounding waters.

He is a famous treasure hunter with a resounding nickname "The Magician".

As a famous treasure hunter, he returned to his hometown in his later years and did not appear very wealthy.

The people on the island believe that he hid his wealth in his hometown.

It is said that once in a tavern, he drunkenly told the story that he hid the treasure on Golden Wheat Island.

However, no one has actually found his treasure for more than 200 years, and naturally it has become a legend.

Most residents on the island believe that he squandered most of his property outside the island. He returned to his hometown in his later years and waited for death to take him away.

This is very consistent with what a person who has been wandering at sea all year round would do.

Alka looked at the silver snake in his hand. This silver coin and the curse on it were all confirming the authenticity of this treasure.

He stood up and walked to the painting on the left side of the room, which showed an old man wearing a black top hat and serious black clothes.

On the right hand which is placed on the left shoulder, there are several rings.

This is a portrait of Jack Monk.

His mother's ancestors.

This house is also where the last magician died.

This is why Alka gets the clue.

After all, this is my family.

Thinking of this, Alka opened the manual in his hand.

The thin book contains information about several treasures, which the original owner collected from various places.

"Parker's Golden Cane", "Lucky Gold Coin", "Makto Shipwreck"...

and now "Jack's Magic Treasures."

Some of these are the treasures of this island, and some are the legends of the neighboring island.

They are all popular stories, and no one really thinks they are treasures.

At least for now.

Except for Alka, who calls himself a treasure hunter.

In fact, Alka himself believes that most of them are fake, and the reason why he focuses on Jack's treasure.

It's because this is one's own family and has news that is different from outsiders.

Several pages at the back of the booklet contain clues to Jack's treasure.

Everything else is just a brief introduction.

Where the next two pages are connected, a simple map of Golden Wheat Ear Island is drawn with very simple lines.

There are two key symbols on it with ink dots.

This is the only clue left by the original owner.

Look at this map.
