Chapter 1: Cursed Silver

Next Chapter

Golden Wheat Ears Island

The noon sun hung high in the sky, and the dazzling light reflected the Ling Ling wave on the blue sea.

The island is a large area of golden ears of wheat that bloom like gold in the sunlight.

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

It is an ordinary stone house unique to the island, surrounded by a low wooden wall, and a tall tree can be seen growing within the wooden wall.

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

The young male figure was crouching beside the wooden bed in his room, bending his head to look under his bed.

He had short black hair, and his face looked a little immature, but he already showed a slightly handsome appearance.

In the dimness, through the sunlight shining through the window, I saw that the cloth bag at the bottom of the bedside was bulging, and it seemed to contain something.

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

"Treasure Hunter's Toolkit"

Moved a few steps upward, reached out and groped in the dark, holding the edge of the cloth bag, and pulled it out with force.

As it was pulled, there was a tinkling sound in the sack, indicating that there were some iron items in the bag.

The force that comes when dragging also means that the weight of the things inside is not light.

After tearing out the cloth bag, the mouth of the cloth bag was not tied, and some of the things inside were already revealed.

There were no burning torches, shovels with short handles, irregularly slightly bent iron rods, ropes, and an iron grappling hook.

He crouched down and poured out all the contents of the cloth bag.

In addition to the above, there is also a short-handled mountain knife with a sheath, and something similar to flint and steel.

But it's not that that Arka cares about, it's 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.

The booklet is very well kept, it looks a little older, but the footer is not curly.

The booklet has a strange font on the top that reads "Captain Arka's Treasure Hunt Handbook".

Arka is himself.

He's not a captain either, he's just some kind of childlike self-proclaim.

I flipped it casually, and the words recorded in it were all legends of some treasures on the island.

Holding the booklet in his hand, Arka got up again and sat heavily on the edge of the bed.

The expression couldn't help but ponder.

These are all "me" things.

Thinking of his bizarre encounter, Arka couldn't help but shake his head.

I didn't expect that I would really cross over one day, something in this kind of entertainment work.

But for yourself, it's a miracle indeed.

At that time, I was suffering from illness in a hospital bed, waiting for my death.

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

When I woke up again, it had already taken over the body.

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

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

It wasn't until morning that he knew how the original body had died.

Died by a "curse".

The age of this body is 16 years old, and the dream is to become a treasure hunter on the sea.

Nine days ago, he had found the treasure.

The first treasure of the treasure hunt he found became his last treasure.

And the treasure ......

Arka fumbled under his pillow and pulled out a dull silver coin.

The treasure is, this silver coin.

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

A scratch on the head of the silver snake is very conspicuous.

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

Although it is valuable, it is not enough to buy one of your own lives.

"There are 5 days left...... No, there are still 4 and a half days. ”

Arka turned to the window next to the bed and muttered to himself as he looked at the sun hanging in the sky.

Who would have thought that this ordinary silver snake in his hand had a curse.

If he had heard a curse on a silver coin before, Arka would have laughed indifferently as a joke.

But the sudden death of the predecessor made him have to pay attention.

Nine days ago, the previous owner of the body dug up the silver snake, which was then in a small tin box.

There is also a passage engraved on the tin box.

"Return it within seven days, and receive the treasure." Seven days later, he died of a curse. ”

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

Who would believe this kind of thing?

There is no supernatural power in memory, at most, the people in this world have a much better physique than in their previous lives.

And then.

Two days ago, he literally died in his sleep.

After occupying this body by himself, since the memory is from far to near, he completely recovered all the memories of the original owner this morning.

I had been pretending to be sick for the rest of the time, hiding in the house, waiting for my memory to fully recover before I could judge the current situation.

In the same way, the death of the original owner means that the "curse" is real, not a joke.

It has been 2 and a half days since I crossed by myself, and I still have 4 and a half days to reach the 7-day deadline.

Own 7 days.

Perhaps the original owner of this curse has already borne it, and he has only been resurrected from this body, and he may not die after another 7 days.

But for Arka, who had just passed through the time travel 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 desperate, and he finally lived again, how could he just wait for death like this.

Even if it's just a possibility, he doesn't want to gamble.

He must return the coin, whether it is real or fake.

That's all we can do now.

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

First of all, the coin is known from memory to be part of Jack the Magician's treasure.

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

This is just a small clue before getting the ultimate treasure.

In other words, as long as you find the treasure of the final magician Jack and return the silver coin, you will be able to lift the curse.

Really survived.

Arka begins to extract information from his memories about the treasure of Jack the Magician.

Magician Jack, formerly known as Jack Munch, was born on Golden Wheat Ears Island more than 200 years ago and went out to sea when he was young.

He did not return until his later years, when he was in his 50s, when he had already made a name for himself in the surrounding seas.

He is a well-known treasure hunter and has a resounding nickname "The Magician".

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

The people of the island believed that he had hidden his wealth, right in his hometown.

It is said that once in the tavern, drunk, he told the story of his treasure on the island of Golden Wheat Ears.

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

Most of the island's residents believe that he had squandered most of his fortune outside the island at that time. In his later years, he returned to his hometown and waited for death to take him away.

This is very much in line with what a person who has been adrift at sea all year round would do.

Arka looked at the silver serpent in his hand, the silver coin and the curse on it, all confirming the authenticity of the treasure.

Standing up, he walked to the left side of the room under a painting depicting an old man in a black top hat and dressed in a serious black attire.

On the right hand resting on the left shoulder, with a couple of rings.

This is the portrait of Jack Munch.

His mother's ancestors.

This house is also where the last magician died.

This is also the reason why Arka gets clues.

After all, this is my own family.

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

The thin booklet contains information about several treasures, all of which were collected by the original owner from various places.

"Parker's Golden Cane", "Lucky Gold Coins", "Maktor's Shipwreck", ......

and now "Jack's Magic Treasure".

Some of these are the treasures of the main island, and some are the legends of the island next door.

It's all a popular story, and no one really thinks it's a treasure.

At least for now.

Except for Arka, who calls himself a treasure hunter.

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

It's because it's my own family, and I have news that is different from outsiders.

The pages behind the booklet are full of clues to Jack's treasure.

Everything else is just a brief introduction.

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

There are ink dots on it, and two key symbols are dotted.

That's the only clue left by the original owner.

Look at this map.
