Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

From time to time, Balazs talked about some information he knew about some people in the Four Gods Sea Area.

Alka and the others will recall some of the information they learned when they were in the Four Gods Sea based on the names of these people.

Understanding the past of these legendary figures makes the communication between the two parties more enjoyable.

After all, even Balazs himself is just a small figure, just a little famous in this small area.

He found it very interesting and novel to be able to understand the legendary past that was out of reach, like the characters in a storybook.

The communication between the two parties became very pleasant.

From time to time, laughter can be heard coming from the house.

The exchange continued until most of the food on the table had entered Pororo's stomach.

They were just about to say goodbye.

"It's very pleasant to communicate with you. You are really rare friends. If you want to leave this island in the future, remember to come to Southern Cross Island. It is important to reach a target island."

As he spoke, Balazs waved, and a male member standing behind him came up and handed the object in his hand to him.

Balazs took it and handed it to Alka.

"Don't refuse a small gift, it's very important to you, but it's not unusual for us, a little thought."

Looking at the object wrapped in cloth in his hand, Alka nodded without refusing.

He has said so, it must be something very helpful, and it would be too hypocritical to postpone it any longer.

"Thank you, we will remember your help."

"Haha, we are friends now. Helping friends is not what you should do."

Hearing this, Alka also smiled.

"That's really my fault, haha."

"It's very late now. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Then we'll take our leave."

Balazs no longer wanted to stay, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, if you have the chance, you must come to Southern Cross Island, and we will meet again then."

"It must be so. May Our Lady bless you."

Alka said with her arms crossed in front of her.

"May the Holy Mother bless you." Balazs returned the greeting.

Afterwards, Alka and others left here and walked towards the port.

Until Alka and the others left the door of the house, Balazs was still standing there with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking.

"Captain, what are you thinking about?" asked the first mate who had been standing behind him.

"As expected of someone from the Four Gods Sea Region, he is really awesome."

"Awesome?" The first mate scratched his head and didn't quite understand.

He really didn't see anyone from Alka who was that powerful.

But these people have quite a way of chatting.

Balazs glanced sideways at him.

"If you could see that, wouldn't you be the captain?"

"I'm really looking forward to the next meeting. Then I'll see how long it takes you."

With that said, he left the room.

Looking at the back of his captain, the first mate curled his lips in disdain.

"Starting to set up the captain's score again."

…

At this time, they bid farewell to Alka and the others who left, and walked on the streets of the town while blowing the cool night breeze.

"What do you think of that Balazs?"

Alka suddenly asked.

"He is not a believer of the Holy Mother. He was just pretending to be like that." Xia Detti suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?" Alka was slightly surprised. He really didn't see this.

After all, Balazs just held his arms and performed the rites of the Virgin.

"When he crossed his arms and prayed for the Blessing of the Blessed Mother, he did not receive the Blessing of the Blessed Mother."

Xia Detti explained.

"ah?"

Alka made a confused sound.

What's the meaning? Just make a gesture and pray to the Holy Mother, and the Holy Mother will really bless you. Can you still tell?

Even Simon next to her looked at her in surprise.

Isn't this a common thing? How can it be concluded from this that Balazs is not a follower of the Blessed Virgin?

I only heard Xia Detti explain: "I was once a preparatory saint of the church. As you know, I almost became a saint."

Alka nodded. Xia Detti was still modest when she said this. She was capable of becoming a saint, but she just didn't want to take on the so-called responsibilities of a saint.

Then he silently complained in his heart: If you hadn't punched the archbishop, you might still be a saint in preparation.

Inexplicably, I thought of Xia Daiti's dark history.

However, it also shows that Xia Detti was indeed a core member of the church.

"I don't know about other gods, but as long as you cross your arms and truly believe in Our Lady, you will receive her blessings when you pray."

“It’s just that you can’t see the blessing, and the blessing is very small, but it is obvious to the clergy.

Therefore, many people in Jiayuanhai did not believe in the Holy Mother, and they just pretended to be so. Many clergymen turned a blind eye.

When true believers in Our Lady need help, the clergy will not hesitate to help. "

After hearing this, Alka nodded in realization.

Simon was also beside him and said with some envy: "Is the Holy Mother so kind?"

This is something that believers in the Holy Mechanism Church would never dare to think about.

How could you just pray to the gods with gestures and ask for blessings and really get blessings?

Alka did not know this at all.

To be honest, he didn't care.

At this time, he was suddenly startled.

He doesn’t believe in the Holy Mother too much, so he can’t be seen out, right?

I couldn't help but ask: "What about me? When I went on the boat to pray, did I receive the Blessing from the Holy Mother?"

Xia Detti looked at Alka and couldn't help frowning with a strange look in his eyes.

"Of course, and there are quite a few."

"really? Haha."

That's good, that's good, scare me to death.

After thinking about it, I realized that I was really overthinking it. After all, I could even use the Holy Sword. How could I not be a believer of the Holy Mother?

And I once received a revelation.

Come to think of it, do you really not believe in the Holy Mother?

Alka could not guarantee that he did not believe at all.

Regardless of the teachings of Our Lady, the things she did, and the kindness she showed, Alka had no reason not to believe.

Moreover, the Holy Mother Church does treat itself well and treats itself completely as one of its own.

Therefore, he can indeed be regarded as a believer of the Holy Mother. After figuring this out, Alka no longer hesitated.

"Tell me something else."

"His cooking skills are not very good, much worse than Juanlu's." Pororo suddenly said.

What he said made several people unable to help but stand there and look back at him.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the way several people looked at him, Pororo said doubtfully, and then added: "It's really not as good as that, don't you think?"

"It's not as good as Juanlu, but do you think it's appropriate for you to say this?" Simon, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but raise his steel left arm and patted Pororo's belly.

At this time, Pororo's stomach was a little round. You can imagine how much food on the table went into his stomach.

At least 2/3, this is still a conservative estimate.

Upon hearing this, Pororo pushed away the hand that was patting his stomach. The hand was too hard, as if he was hitting him with an iron rod.

Then he argued: "Food can't be wasted. We are guests and we must respect the host. There is no better way to show respect to the host than to eat the dishes he has prepared for him."

It was so well said that it actually left several people speechless.

"Simon makes a steel needle." Pororo patted Simon and said.

"What are you doing?" While asking, he also raised his left hand and directly made a steel needle.

Pororo took it and started shaving his teeth directly.

"Tsk."

Simon rolled his eyes.

Pororo also complained: "Next time something like this happens, you should ask Jason to accompany you. He is more suitable. I can only help you in this way."

Alka glanced at him and shook his head helplessly: "You look more intimidating, and have you been imitating Jason recently? Why are you becoming more and more like him?"

Especially this bitch look.

"Although I don't know what he really thinks, what he did is at least beneficial to us, and we do owe him a favor." Xia Detti started to get down to business.

Alka nodded, that was indeed the case.

No matter what the purpose of others is, at least until now he has always had good intentions and is indeed helping them.

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

This was Balazs' gift to them when they said goodbye.

After opening it, I found a flag and a book inside.

Alka picked up the flag and looked at it.

This is not a regular flag, but like a belt, with a rope tied to the flagpole on one end and nothing on the other end.

There is a red line on the long blue flag. In the middle of the long flag, there is a cross star.

"What does this flag mean?" Simon asked next to him.

Alka checked it: "There are spells on it. It is woven with some kind of spell material. The technique is very unique and the production is very fine."

That was all he could see.

"Read the book first." Xia Daiti suggested.

Based on the exchange they just had, this book is obviously more important.

Alka nodded, put away the flag, and opened the book in his hand.

This book is not thick. It is very thin in the hand, only about one finger thick.

The book cover is made of some kind of waterproof material, but judging from the material, it's not an expensive material.

"It's actually written in the common script of Home Sea." Looking at the title on the book cover, Alka was a little surprised.

He only recalled now that when they communicated throughout the entire conversation, they all used the common language of Home Sea.

Speaking of the islanders in the town, in addition to using their own language, the only language they can use seems to be the lingua franca of their home sea.

Why is it the home sea?

It's not the lingua franca of the Southern Storm Sea, or the other four sea areas.

Even in the dream before, Alka didn't get the answer.

The dreams of the islanders say that this language is used by outsiders who often come to trade.

In the dream of the merchant marine members, Alka did not ask for information.

Take your thoughts back.

Alka looked at the paper in his hand.

It says "Broken Island Chain/Southern Cross"

The name seems to be a book introducing the Broken Island Chain and the Guide Island Southern Cross.

The thickness is about the same.

Alka opened it and looked at it.

"This records some information about this area and the Southern Cross Signpost Island. It also includes navigation help on the Boundless Sea."

Hearing this, Xia Daiti and others showed strong interest on their faces.

This might be their first step towards understanding the boundless sea.

"Let's take a look when we go back. Lucilia and the others might be impatient."

After hearing this, several people nodded and walked quickly towards the port.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the port, where we found Jason waiting on the shore.

After seeing them coming, Jason smiled and waved.

Then he looked them up and down to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then jumped onto the deck with everyone else.

"How about it? What did that person do when he invited you over?" Jason asked.

"He just saw that we are people who have just arrived in the boundless sea, and he wants to take this opportunity to make friends with us."

"It's better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake."

This statement surprised everyone.

"How were we exposed?"

Alka and the others began to briefly tell everyone about some of the exchanges at the banquet.

"So that's it. I never thought that such details would be exposed." Julia murmured to herself.

Such a way of exposure was something she didn't expect.

"You said that book recorded some outside situations, please tell me." Lucilia jumped on Alka's shoulder and urged.

Hearing this, Alka looked at the others.

Others' eyes were also full of curiosity.

After all, although they have been in the Silverless Sea for so long, they know very little about the specific situation of the Boundless Sea.

Now that we have a channel to understand, how could we not be curious?

"No problem, let me take a look."

Alka opened the book and read it carefully.

After taking a closer look, he realized that the information he had obtained from the dream was indeed a bit one-sided and too fragmented.

Even what is written above is only about the surrounding area and some characteristics of the sea in this area.

"Navigation charts are completely useless in the Infinite Sea. Because of the chaos, the ocean here is always changing, including the positions of the islands."

"This also makes it difficult to tell the right direction here, because even the ocean, even the islands you have visited, will appear in other places shortly after you leave.

The islands that will not deviate due to changes in space and ocean currents are signpost islands. They will always be there and will always be fixed there. "

"The so-called island chain is a few islands dragged together by the Landmark Island. They will also change, but they will reappear around the Landmark Island at a certain time.

As for the specific mechanism, I haven’t mentioned it above, just a brief description.

For example, the island chain dragged by the Guide Island Southern Cross Island is called the Broken Island Chain, and the island under our feet is part of the Broken Island Chain.

He would return to the area around Southern Cross Island every 30 to 60 days and nights, which is why merchant ships would arrive during this period.

They must also leave again before deviating, otherwise they will have to wait until the next time they return.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be far away from Southern Cross Island, and it will take a lot of time and energy to return. "

After briefly talking about some of the important information written in the book, Alka took out the flag that Balazs had given him before.

"Although the location of Signpost Island will not change, the people of the Infinite Sea still made a tool that can guide Signpost Island, the Guiding Flag."

"This flag guides the Southern Cross Island. As long as it is hung, the tail end of the flag will always fly in the direction of the island."

After listening to Alka's simple narration, everyone had different expressions, but without exception they were all a little surprised.

Even though they had been mentally prepared for it, they were still a little overwhelmed by the level of chaos here.

"That is to say, unless it is an island in an island chain, once you leave, you will probably never find it again?" Xia Detti asked beside him.

Alka nodded: "That's what the book says, if the book's statement is not wrong."

"Will there always be an unknown journey?" Julia murmured to herself, and then asked helplessly: "So is there really a seed of life here?"

The so-called Seed of Life is essentially similar to the Holy Mother Church and the Holy Mechanism Church.

It is an organization formed by believers in the gods of the ocean of living beings and life.

One of the teachings is to ensure the balance of nature and sort out the chaos of the world.

And the one who implements this teaching to the end is the mermaid.
