Night.

A bright full moon rises over sea level.

The bright moonlight shines softly on the sea.

Bring the only light to the dark night.

A three-masted schooner, galloping on the sea.

There were also dim lights on the ship.

Alka sat at the table in his room, looking at the book in his hand with the help of the oil lamp on the table.

There are two other books stacked next to them.

These books with blue covers are densely packed with text and some more vivid pictures.

"Treasures, Incantations, Humans (Part II)" is exactly the name of the book.

The three books in blue cover are a complete set and divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower.

The above is the unknown side of this world.

In the silence of the room, only the rustle of Alka's pages could be heard.

I don't know how long it took.

Even the flames in the oil lamp beside him became a little dim.

Arka closed the book and placed the other two books on the table in the shelf to install the baffle.

He came with an oil lamp and went to his bedside.

By the dim light of the oil lamp, Arka lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling of the room.

After reading those three books, Arka finally got a more general, but not very detailed, understanding of the other side of the world.

It's no longer an ordinary person who is as ignorant as a few days ago.

The three books "Treasures, Incantations, and Humans" tell the origin of power and its development from point to surface.

It's a bit more like a history book of the transcendent world, just by telling the history to analyze the perfection of these transcendent powers in passing.

As the title of his book suggests.

The most important of these is the "treasure", which is not precious gold and silver treasure.

It's a real source of power.

They are extremely powerful, powerful enough to destroy an island in an instant.

It can magically take people to fly in the sky, swim freely in the water, and let people travel freely between islands.

These objects, which are contrary to the normal order of the world, are collectively referred to as "treasures".

Of course, it is also a "treasure", but it is also divided into different levels.

However, Alka does not know exactly what criteria are used to divide them.

But from low to high, these treasures are called [Holy Grail], [Scepter], and [Crown] respectively.

"Treasures" are the source of all the transcendent powers of humanity at this stage.

All the transcendent powers used by human beings are inseparable from the help of "treasures".

There is magic in the human body, which is born with it, and will gradually expand with age until it stabilizes in adulthood.

It is roughly between the ages of 16 and 18.

The standard of adulthood in this world is also 16 years old.

But the magic in the human body is dead and does not resonate with the magic of the outside world.

This kind of silent and solidified magic power, natural human beings themselves cannot mobilize the magic power in their own bodies.

Just as it is impossible for humans to control themselves perfectly.

At this time, an external force is needed to dredge the magic veins in the human body, activate the hidden magic in the body, and make it active again.

And this process.

It is called "touching", touching "treasures".

Any "treasure", any level, can reactivate the magic in an ordinary person's body.

However, each "treasure" is limited in the number of people who can activate it according to its level.

The exact reason is unknown, and it is not explained in the book.

When the "quota" is full, you can't activate new people.

Unless the "slot" is vacant.

As the touch magic becomes active, the veins are activated.

Just like the nerves that connect and control magic, humans can manipulate their own magic in the same way that they control their hands and feet.

And the activity of magic in the human body can make the physique of ordinary people stronger and stronger, because the magic power will strengthen the physique.

With the manipulation of mana, it is also possible to use mana to strengthen some parts of the body in a focused way.

As the control becomes more proficient, it is even able to temporarily expand the magic through physical contact.

Spreading to weapons, giving them more characteristics.

Or do something else with the magic that comes out of it.

But if you want to use more and more magical powers, you can only do it by manipulating the "treasure" with magical power.

With magic, it will be easier for humans to grasp "treasures".

But "treasures" are too rare, and there are only a handful of people who can own them.

So what about the rest of the people, over time, often touch the "treasures" and the soul of the strong human beings.

From different "treasures", comprehension has gained new power.

That's the incantation.

Spells can be engraved on materials with strong or magical properties for use.

Legend has it that some people are also depicted on their own bodies.

You can also draw in the air after mastering it, and directly use the magic power in your body to use the spell as a medium to attract the surrounding magic power and effect to produce magical power and effects.

Arka still has a certain understanding of this knowledge.

After all, Jack's "Explanation of Spells" describes the use of three spells very clearly and clearly.

At the same time, he also let Arka know about a [Scepter]-level treasure.

It is the source of the "Cross of Normalcy" spell - a [Scepter] level treasure - to burn the molten tree.

As for the other two spells that Arka is aware of, "Vortex Water Chain" and "Silver Blade", it is not known which treasure the specific source is.

Thinking of this, Arka raised his right hand and waved it casually.

The three playing cards, engraved with different spells, appeared in his hand.

For this kind of thing, of course, he carries it with him.

For a magician.

You never know what he's hiding on him.

Once again, the flop card is gone.

Arka got up and blew out the oil lamp and fell into a deep sleep by the moonlight outside the window.

……

Early morning.

The cool sea breeze and the rising sun blew away the fog of last night on the sea.

Washed and dressed, Arka headed down the cabin.

Such a spacious and huge ocean-going sailing ship is only worthy of 5 people, plus only 6 of them.

Empty no.

It wasn't until I came to the dining room on the gun deck that I saw Hamo.

He was waving at Alka.

"Alka, come on."

Arka first went to the countertop of the open kitchen and took the breakfast that Uncle Matt handed over with a smile.

A golden loaf, an omelette, bacon, and even a glass of milk.

Sit down next to Hammer's Arka and look at the glass of milk.

Can milk really last long on a ship?

I didn't see any cows under the cabin yesterday.

"The pantry where the food is stored has a cold spell, and I heard that this preserves the freshness of the food, but I don't know much about it."

Looking at Alka's appearance, Hamor on the other side shrugged his shoulders and explained.

I see.

Magic version of the cold room.

Enjoy a breakfast that can be difficult to enjoy on a ship.

However, the entire dining area is still occupied by him and Hammer and Uncle Matt, who are busy in the kitchen.

After Harmo ate quickly, he took out three more packed food boxes from Uncle Matt.

"Alka, you eat first, I have to bring breakfast to the captain, and Lipoca, and of course, Old Man Bobby."

"Why don't these people even walk a few extra steps for breakfast? Really. Hamo said firmly.

When he was lifting the curtain, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Arka who was eating breakfast, and said, "By the way, at the current speed, we should be able to reach our destination by noon." ”

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and left.
