Treasure hunter, sailing on the blue sea

It took a long time to go around.

They finally bypassed that half of the island and came to the entrance of the Straight Road directly ahead.

There are many ships waiting to enter at the entrance.

After Alka and the others waited for a short while, they began to slowly follow the other ships and move forward.

It can be seen that on Youzi Island where Our Lady's Island is located, there are several buildings like sentry towers.

There are golden lines on the sentry tower, and there is a huge crystal stone on top.

On the other side, Zuozi Island, which belongs to the Holy Mechanism Church, has a huge fort-like building on it. The black muzzle is pointed at all ships heading to the island's central port.

When Alka's ship passed through the entrance and headed inward.

Unknown seals were placed on both sides of the body, sealing all the muzzle baffles.

Fortunately, they have already encountered this kind of thing once. It seems that all forces will block the muzzles of ships when they enter the port.

Lest anyone gets confused and fires artillery at the port.

"That's the church of the Holy Mother Church."

Hearing Lucilia's words, Alka turned around and looked. I saw a plain in the center of the crescent moon on Youzi Island.

There is a large group of buildings there, and the cathedral in the center looks extremely conspicuous.

The gray church exterior wall and the slender spire closely resemble the architectural style.

It is almost exactly the same style as the cathedral that Alka and the others saw in Home Sea, except that the appearance of the building is not similar.

It is basically certain that it is the Church of Our Lady on this island.

After looking at it for a few times, Alka lost interest. After all, he had seen too many churches like this.

It's just that the size is different, not to mention that the scale and appearance of this church are far inferior to the cathedral.

Instead, he turned his head and looked to the other side.

He is still very interested in the Holy Mechanism.

The Church of Our Lady is a building with a tall slender dome and numerous spiers.

The church of the Holy Church is somewhat similar to a dome building, and the highest point in the center looks like a lighthouse.

The entire church building is unusually symmetrical and regular, giving people a sense of order and simplicity.

The rest of the buildings surround this lighthouse-like building.

The color of the overall building is gray-black, and a lot of metal materials are used on the building, giving it a metallic luster.

A huge gear stands in front of the lighthouse, forming the most conspicuous symbol of the church.

This gear is still turning slowly. I don't know if it is suitable for its purpose or if it is just for decoration.

If the Church of Our Lady is more in line with Alka’s idea of ​​a solemn church. The church of the Holy Mechanicum looks more like a modern art building.

Following the current, Alka and his Dawn Sound were guided directly to Youzi Island and docked at the berth.

A church member wearing the robes of the Holy Mother Church came over.

Behind him were two knights wearing light soft armor.

After looking at Alka's ship, he silently walked to the next ship.

"What's going on? Don't you charge parking fees?" Jason looked at this scene and asked a little strangely.

It should be normal for ports like this to charge berthing fees, and this is also a necessary means to maintain the situation.

"How is that possible? Look over there."

After hearing Alka's words, Jason turned around and looked.

I saw a ship not far away, seemingly negotiating with another priest.

After paying some money, an engraved seal was hung on the boat.

There is obviously a fee for parking.

But their ship was not accepted, and it didn’t even have that kind of seal.

"Our ship should be classified as a church ship. Wasn't this ship made by the cathedral's shipyard? Maybe he saw the technology in it."

Xia Detti thought for a while and said.

"That's possible."

After chatting casually for a while, Alka turned his head and looked at everyone and said: "Since everyone has arrived on this island, let's go our separate ways."

There are saints from the Holy Mechanism Church and Saints from the Holy Mother Church on board, so there is no need to worry too much about safety issues.

The entire island can be counted as one of our own.

Alka, Xia Detti and Jason walked directly off the boat and walked towards the Notre Dame Church in the center.

Pass through the densely populated port area where goods flow. Came to the residential area around the church.

Devotion to Our Lady can be seen everywhere here.

The religious atmosphere is extremely strong.

Go all the way and come to the bottom of the church.

Alka looked up at the area and size of the church.

Except for the church that I had seen in the cathedral, this church was the largest that Alka had ever seen.

I am looking forward to what the church headquarters of the Holy Mother Church in the Infinite Sea will look like.

Definitely have to check it out if you have the chance.

"It seems that someone is already waiting for us." Jason said suddenly, looking not far ahead.

Hearing this, Alka lowered his head and followed Jason's gaze in that direction.

I saw a middle-aged priest, wearing the robe of the Holy Mother Church, looking at Alka and the others quietly.

He doesn't shy away from his gaze.

Seeing the looks from Alka and others, he nodded.

Alka walked over directly.

The priest looked at Alka and others coming over, crossed his hands and nodded: "Everyone, welcome to the boundless sea safely, Blessed Mother."

"Blessed Mother, you seem to know us?"

Alka asked with some confusion. Listening to this, it seemed that they had been waiting for him and others.

"No, we just received news at the port that there is a bird-head ship, with the style of church shipbuilding."

"I didn't expect you to come directly here."

"If you have any questions, come in and talk."

Obviously, their information had reached here a long time ago.

According to the meaning of his words, it should be said that they belong to the Infinite Sea, and most of the areas where churches exist may have known their information.

It’s right when you think about it.

They should be the only church members who have left their homeland in recent years.

If nothing else happens, there will always be a parish where they will meet them.

Not to mention that there are saints like Alka and former preparatory saints like Xia Detti on their ship.

Alka and the others, who were about to ask something after hearing this, nodded and walked towards the side of the church.

Even at night, there were many believers praying and worshiping in front. .

When they came to the side, they opened a small door and everyone walked in.

As soon as you enter here, you can feel the strong holy light energy.

In the huge hall in the center of the church, a statue of the Virgin stands there.

There were many church members coming and going in the hall.

The moment they came in, many members couldn't help but glance at them.

"Please come with me, the bishop is already waiting for you."

With that said, he led Alka and the others around to a door and knocked gently.

"Please come in." A voice came from inside.

The priest opened the door and remained outside.

Several people walked in.

It can be seen that this is a living room, the decoration is simple but not degrading.

Everyone walked through and sat down next to the sofa.

Alka glanced at the room casually and was slightly stunned.

He looked away unintentionally.

An old man who looked to be over 50 years old with half-white hair. Sitting nearby and looking at everyone with a smile.

He should be the bishop of this place.

"You three are from Home Sea, you must be Xia Daiti."

Hearing the bishop's words, Xia Daiti was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that this man actually knew her name.

"You know me?"

"Haha, of course, but you have changed a lot since you were little.

If it weren't for a girl named Xia Daiti among the messages I received, I wouldn't be able to believe that you have grown so big.

Time flies. "

Hearing this, not only Xia Detti, but also Alka were a little confused.

From the meaning of these words, it is obvious that the bishop not only knows Xia Detti, but may also be familiar with her.

But looking at Xia Daiti's look, one could tell that she might really not know him.

"It's normal if I don't know you. I just didn't expect you to look like a lady when you grow up. I really made a mistake."

Xia Detti's cheeks turned red when she heard this. It was obvious that the bishop in front of her must have seen her when she was young.

It must have been at least before the age of 10.

Having seen her at that time, I could hardly have imagined that Xia Daiti would become a very lady when she grew up.

Of course, at least on the surface.

"I probably taught you when you were still so young, and of course the children in the same batch as you."

The bishop gestured with a smile.

Seeing the height of his gesture, Xia Daiti nodded clearly.

At that time, she must have just entered the church for a year or two.

At that time, there were always various people teaching their knowledge.

However, these teachers will not be around for long.

But obviously Xia Daiti still didn't remember who he was.

She just roughly guessed the time period when she knew him.

The bishop didn't pay too much attention. After chatting for a while and getting familiar with everyone, he looked at Alka and Jason.

"You should be Alka. The Holy Mother favors you very much."

Alka nodded.

Then he looked at Jason again, frowning, a little confused.

"There's something wrong with the aura on your body? Did you sign a contract with some existence? The ancient... world.

Well... no need to explain, this is not a bad thing. "

He just took a brief look and almost understood the contract between Jason and the Crystal Dragon.

The more I understand, the more I know how extraordinary the Crystal Dragon is.

Alka still remembers what Jason talked to her about before.

According to Alka's instructor, the dragonborn, the Crystal Dragon seems to be also called the Prismatic Dragon.

Also known as, the dragon of salvation.

"I believe your Excellency the Archbishop will be very happy to see you arrive at the Infinite Sea safely."

"Archbishop?" Alka was a little confused when he heard this title.

He didn't know for a moment whether he was talking about the Archbishop of Home Sea or the Boundless Sea.

"Haha, it's normal to have some doubts," the bishop said.

"The Holy Mother Church has only one archbishop."

Sure enough, it was just as Alka and the others had guessed.

The Four Gods Church must have some means to bypass the obstruction of the forward channel.

Allowing members of their respective churches to travel unimpeded in both worlds.

"Okay, that's it. You can have a good rest in the church during this period. If you want to know anything, you are all qualified.

The members of the church will make it easier for you. Although this is not a very important place, some important news about the Infinite Sea can still be received here. "

"You are still young and have enough time. Give yourself a break."

The bishop said strange words, and then crossed his arms on his chest: "May the Holy Mother bless you as you move forward."

The three of them immediately stood up and bowed in return, said their goodbyes and left the room.

When the three of them walked out, the priest at the door was still waiting for them.

After seeing the three people coming out, he said: "Everyone, please come with me. I will arrange a place for you to rest and introduce these twin cathedrals to you."

The three of them nodded without refusing.

After all, they came here mainly because they wanted to know more about the entire boundless sea.

Looking at the slowly closing door.

The bishop stood in the middle of the living room with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking.

"After so many years, there are finally new members coming out of the home sea. This is very exciting, isn't it?"

There was a sudden sound from the corner next to me.

There was a figure standing there. He seemed to have been standing there, but no one noticed it.

Hearing this voice, the bishop who was in a daze turned his head and looked at him.

"So you stood in that corner and peeked, did you see anything?"

"What do you mean peeking? I was just standing there openly, but no one else noticed."

"Okay, do whatever you want. But your disguise just now was obviously not enough. Someone discovered it, haha." The bishop couldn't help but said with some schadenfreude.

"It's indeed a surprise. The young man named Alka actually discovered me. What an amazing young man."

"Of course, he is a natural believer of the Holy Mother and a favored one of the Holy Mother."

At this point, the bishop suddenly sighed.

"I just don't know why, but these three people are surrounded by an ancient and thick aura, exuding sadness and ominousness. This is obviously not a good thing."

"You must have seen this kind of thing a lot, haven't you? There is no shortage of passionate young people like this in this hellish place. We should be happy." said the man hiding in the corner.

"Of course, but they are too young, powerful, and talented. Knowing the truth of the world too early will always lead these children to extremes."

The bishop said with some sigh.

"They have not abandoned the Holy Mother. They are still rational, so don't worry too much. Your old habits are back again."

"Really? Maybe, I've seen too many children go to extremes after knowing.

They have carried too much, and it is not what they should bear at this stage, alas..."

"...Yes, but there is always something strange about being a favored one, so don't worry.

Don’t you still believe in the vision of Our Lady? "

…

The three Alkas followed the priest and wandered throughout the church.

Until finally, the three of them were brought to the lounge and rooms were arranged for them.

"Let's rest here tonight."

"Thanks."

After the three thanked them, they returned to the room.

This is a suite with a living room in the center and four rooms around it.

The three of them sat up on the sofa in the living room.

Xuan moved on Alka's shoulder and jumped down, wandering around the entire living room.

"You just...did you notice someone standing in the corner of the room while you were chatting?"

"?"

Xia Detti and Jason looked at Alka with questions.

"Are you going to tell...horror stories again?" Jason asked doubtfully.

Alka glanced at him helplessly.

Explained: "There was a person in the corner of the room just now. He used an unknown hiding method, but I could still see him clearly.

He was about thirty or forty years old. He looked very ordinary, but he was wearing a church robe, so I didn't say much. "

"If that's true, does he have any intention of hiding there?"

Alka shook his head: "I don't know, but he has been standing there against the wall, as if listening to a story.

Looking at our gazes, there was no hint of malice, otherwise Jason should have noticed it long ago. "

But Alka just said it briefly and did not speculate with everyone.

After all, this is someone else's place. If you don't know anything, making random guesses will only harm yourself.

As long as there is no malice, don't worry about the rest.

"I didn't expect the church to have a way to quickly travel between the two sides. Are you really not impressed, Xia Diti?"

Jason said while leaning on the sofa, then turned to look at Xia Dai to ask questions.

Xia Detti shook his head: "I was too young back then, and my mind was not on study at all at that time.

After a while, another teacher will teach us. Who can remember this?

Only people like Gami, who have been good students since childhood, can remember these teachers who have come and gone. "

After hearing this, the two of them nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Alka leaned on the sofa and thought.

If the church had only one archbishop. Then it can be explained that the archbishop of the cathedral is obviously too weak.

He just showed weak strength in that sea area.

For example, the bishop they saw just now, although they don't know the specific strength.

When Alka is guaranteed to be at least level five, maybe even higher, and the possibility is not small.

In the dream world, Alka's strength is almost at the level of the fourth stage of perfection.

He has been able to confirm his strength in the dream.

And in this way, he could clearly detect that the strength of the bishop just now was at least stronger than his own dream world.

And the person hiding in the corner is not low in strength either.

It even feels a little more deadly.

It's just that the hidden method was easily seen through by me for some reason.

Maybe it's because his spirit is too strong.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Daiti and the others didn't seem to notice the existence of this person, Alka would have been exposed on the spot.

Hmm... maybe the secret has been exposed.

"Then do you think it's possible for us to go back through the church's passage?" Xia Detti said next to him.

"It should be possible." Alka said uncertainly.

Logically speaking, with their qualifications, there should be no problem, but I don't know what the mechanism of this thing is.

Only ask later.

After a few people chatted for a while, Alka nodded and asked Xuan to send a message to the people on the ship.

Tell them that they will not go back tonight and will stay in the church to rest.

See you again on the boat tomorrow night.

After letting Xuan finish sending the message, they each found a suitable room and went in to rest.
