When night comes again.

Arka and the others had already arrived in this place called Broken Town.

In the northeastern corner of the town, there is a vacant triangular house.

This area is the ruler of the Broken Town, and is set aside for outsiders to live in when they arrive.

A house for a week, a silver snake.

Such a rent, compared to the surrounding environment and the size of the house, if placed in the homeland, it is no different from robbery.

But here it is the boundless sea.

What Arka didn't expect was that even the people of this island would actually use the Silver Serpent to trade.

As the book says, these three currencies are traded almost everywhere, almost to the level of universal currency.

Of course, we're talking about the town's leadership.

For the residents of the town itself, it is more about bartering and unified distribution.

These are some of the catches that Arka had in the town during the day.

They rented a total of 4 rooms, enough for all of them.

"Pololo, the biggest house, is where the two of us live." Arka said as he looked at the house in front of him, which was more than twice as tall as the surroundings.

This room costs two silver snakes a week.

It can't be helped, mainly because Pololo's size is much larger than that of a normal human.

Equivalent to a small giant.

4 houses, large houses specially designed for living in Bororo and Arca.

Chardetti, Julia, and Martrisa live in one room.

Jason, Simon, and Juan Lu live in one room.

Four dolls live in one room.

Alka looked at the area, which was a house for renting to outsiders.

But now it's just the four of them here.

And perhaps considering that they were acting together, the townspeople also thoughtfully set up a bonfire in the open space in the middle of their four houses.

At this time, the crackling sound of burning wood and the sparks floated out.

After a brief look at the room, Arka and Bororo went to sit down by the campfire.

As he sat down, Bororo moved away and moistened his skin with water.

Today's daylight hours were long, so he hadn't touched the sea for a while.

One by one, the people packed up their temporary shelters and sat down by the campfire.

"Everyone is separated today, and after walking around this town for most of the day, have you gained anything?"

Arka asked, looking at the crowd.

After they were taken to the Broken Town by the White Rock patrol today, they were allowed to roam the town freely.

As they said in their dreams, there was nothing strange about outsiders, as long as they didn't disturb the inhabitants and didn't have conflicts, no one cared about them.

By the way, I also told them where to rent a house if they want to rest here temporarily.

Arka thought that their town would have such a thing as a hotel.

"The inhabitants of this place all have magic in their bodies, and their magic power has reached a spiral at the very least."

Jason looked at the campfire in front of him, fiddled with it twice, and said.

However, this news was obtained by Arka in a dream yesterday, and he briefly told everyone.

Although I was still prepared, I was still a little shocked.

They had never seen so many magical people come together in their lifetimes.

I only heard Jason continue: "These people who have active magic in their bodies because of the surrounding high magic environment are completely different from those who touch treasures and become touchers. ”

"These ordinary people become magically active people because of the environment, and the newborn survival rate is not high.

Even if they have lived in such a high-magic environment for generations, and their physique has long been changed, the children they give birth to will not be born to withstand the surge of magic power in their bodies.

The probability of death of a newborn is not low, but the exact number is unknown.

And in the subsequent growth, the damage caused by magic will make these children face certain dangers until the age of 5, and some of these surviving children will die of weaker physique. ”

When Jason finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

Juan Lu scratched his head, a little incomprehensible.

"Did we really enter this town at the same time?"

Why does it feel like Jason has been in this town for a while? Is this the news that can be obtained in such a moment?

I don't understand.

"Hmph, I'm not done yet." Jason snorted softly.

"I found out that I don't know if it's the leader or who is in this town, but it must be in possession of the treasure."

"Oh, why do you say that?" Arka asked curiously.

He had asked in his dream, but no one had told him, so he didn't know if anyone on the island had any treasures.

"You said that their means of mastering power is tattoos on their bodies, right?" Jason asked, looking at Alka.

Arka nodded, this was indeed the news he had received in his dream, and had told everyone before.

"But I found out today that the man named Shiraishi must be stronger than me, right?"

Julia next to her nodded and said, "He can give me a feeling of danger, he should be at the same level as me." ”

Okay, so he's around the hexahelix, or even a little higher.

Hearing Julia's answer, Jason clapped his hands: "Yes, he is strong, but he has very few tattoos on his body, only one." ”

"How do you know that?" Simon asked curiously beside him.

He didn't stay on the ship for long.

So in his impression, Jason is a living treasure type character on the ship, probably someone who uses a gun to attack from a distance.

He didn't have the impression that he was very reliable, not only for him, but also for Mattlisa, who had only been on the ship for a few days.

And that even includes Juanlu.

They don't know that Jason's real strength is in the collection of intelligence.

"I asked one of his subordinates, a guy who only got a new tattoo a few days ago."

"That's what he told you?" Simon asked, confused.

He felt that something like this should be considered a relatively confidential matter, and that no one would tell an outsider about such a thing.

Even for this town, it is not surprising that it is foreign.

But the necessary vigilance should not be absent, especially with these hunters patrolling the town.

Hearing this, Jason looked at him with some surprise, came to his side, patted him and said, "Friend, he didn't know that he had already told me, he and I were just chatting." ”

He winked at Simon as he spoke.

Understood, with some kind of rhetoric, the power of language?

He felt that he would definitely not be able to do it anyway.

Jason continued: "I've also learned about other patrols, and most of the people in the leadership positions here have very few tattoos, but ordinary hunters have a lot of tattoos.

That's not a low chance, but I can't guarantee it either. ”

"I also followed them around the outside and saw them fighting."

"People with fewer tattoos obviously use the power of spells, and those who have more tattoos use the power of tattoos on their bodies."

"Those with few tattoos are obvious, and they have a very fine manipulation of their own mana, just like us, and can use their magic with precision to make their attacks powerful.

Those who have a lot of tattoos can't do it, they can only simply use the tattoo, simply integrate the magic into the tattoo, you want them to wrap the magic in their hands, let them gush out and attach to the weapon, they can't do it. ”

Jason was very observant, even the old hunters who seemed to have a lot of experience, but they couldn't do it either.

This is clearly unreasonable, unless they are born with a poor command of magic.

This is a problem caused by hard conditions and cannot be compensated for by experience.

"Then I walked around the town a few times, and I got to know about those who have few tattoos, they should be people who have been inspired by treasures, and they are all very powerful."

"And those who have a lot of tattoos, the magic control is very poor, and they are all ordinary hunters without exception, because of this high magic environment, the magic in their bodies is active."

After listening to all of Jason's intelligence collection, Arka understood.

He had been thinking about it before.

If the people of the Infinite Sea are all magically active people due to the environment, then one of the most important characteristics of the treasure is that it can inspire people to become touchers.

As a result, the importance of the treasure will be greatly reduced, which is certain.

For some large powers, the number of people who may be able to enlighten is at some point more important than the ability of the treasure itself.

But in "The Land of Dreams", it can be known that treasures are still the core of a force, which is obviously not the same as what is known.

And now that makes sense.

Ordinary people whose magic is active because of the environment, although the magic in their bodies can make their physique stronger, it is difficult for them to control the magic in their bodies.

The magic is difficult to control, so basically say goodbye to using meditation methods to improve strength, and can only rely on natural improvement.

This is definitely much slower than the speed at which they ascended in the Homeland Sea.

In the Homeland Sea, you can also control the magic in your body, spiraling in the loop to speed up the absorption of mana.

Ordinary people obviously can't do it here.

Although the logic is not reasonable, after all, how can the control ability of the active mana be low since childhood, but it is true.

But from some information in the dream, it can be known that as the number of tattoos on their bodies increases, their strength will naturally increase.

Obviously, tattoos, in addition to giving them the power to be able to use some specific spells, are also able to boost the total amount of mana in their bodies.

What happened to it was obviously not what they were able to peep at now.

Still, Arka wanted to know the essence of the tattoos, so he might be able to better carve better spells on the puppet.

Arka feels that there is a commonality between the two.

The inhabitants of this island choose to use it, and they can use the tattoo of the spell to make them use their combat effectiveness.

to bridge the gap between the normal toucher.

But there are clearly limits to this.

And those who are enlightened with treasures do not have such shortcomings. And because of the environment of the high magic, their strength has improved very quickly.

Simple speculation.

The hierarchical division of the strength of the town.

Ordinary tattoo hunters are at the base of the strength class, that is, at the bottom, and experienced tattoo hunters are probably able to reach the middle level.

The touchers are clearly the middle and upper echelons of the island.

I just don't know how many touchers there are.

If they knew the exact amount, they might be able to calculate how many treasures they had in their hands.

In the dream world, Arka can't fully calculate it.

Arka then looked at the others.

I want to see if they have any other information.

"Is the crab really delicious?" Juan Lu thought for a moment and replied embarrassedly.

Obviously, not everyone has access to useful information, especially among them, and the only ones who have actually had experience with the Treasure Hunt before this are Arka, Shadetti, and Jason.

Xia Daiti thought for a while and said, "Due to the language barrier, it is too difficult to know some news from these people. ”

She also tried to gather some information, but the language barrier made it difficult for her to do anything.

The inhabitants of the island, in particular, almost never leave the island, and even if there are outsiders, no one has the patience to teach them a foreign language.

And apparently they weren't in the mood to learn.

Hearing this, Jason added, "Yes, I also found this problem, basically some hunters can speak Homeland Sea, and even among the hunters, only a small half of them can speak. ”

If it weren't for the language barrier, Jason would have been able to get more information.

"And these hunters who speak the lingua franca are very skilled in answering questions."

But at this time, Xia Daiti said with a smile: "It's good that Lucilia is with me, so I can be regarded as having some gains." ”

"The inhabitants of this island actually have a fleet of ships that are regularly traded, and they will come every 30~50 days and nights."

"A day and night is their means of timekeeping, which can be simply understood as days, but the time of each day is not equal, and the length of day and night changes."

Hearing this, Simon next to him nodded.

They've been wandering around the town for a long time during the day.

Today's daylight has a total of 18 hours, which is even less than last night.

I only heard Xia Daiti continue: "Most of the materials they traded were some daily necessities that were not available on the island, and what they traded out were materials on the island, especially the spell materials such as the bones, skins and fur of those prey.

The abundance of magical beasts on this island seems to be a specialty of this island? Lots of it."

She's not quite sure either.

Arka nodded and continued, "The reason why there are so many strange magical beasts on this island is because of those activated ruins. ”

After all, he was the leader of this team, so he met with the leader of this town today.

Just by looking at it, Arka could feel the sense of danger that the man had inflicted on him.

The strength is definitely beyond the second stage.

The people who communicate with him are also the leaders of the island, and they are also very free and easy about his problems.

They knew that Arka was coming to the island for the first time.

"It's been 36 days and nights since the last team arrived, and it may not be long before a trading ship arrives." After Xia Daiti finished speaking, he said that his information was all that.

Then Arka looked at the crowd, and everyone shook their heads slightly in the face of Arka coming out, indicating that they had not obtained any useful information.

Even if there is, it will be said by the previous two.

"Alright then, tell me what I know."

"This island is dangerous, you know before, if you want to go out and explore, you can't go to the dangerous ruins that they have fenced off."

The ruins are patrolled and guarded, and it is unknown whether they are actually dangerous.

"Don't talk outside in their language either, it's dangerous at night, it's better not to go out, that's about it."

Arka then got down to business: "I'll let Dawn come directly to the port behind the town after dawn, where the ships that normally arrive are basically parked. ”

"Then tell me what we're going to do after dawn."

Hearing this, Xia Daiti smiled and said, "Draw a map? ”

"That's right, but this island is a bit big, and we don't necessarily have to paint it all at once, so find a guide and take us around in a safer place."

Arka had tried before, and the map didn't necessarily have to be an island, even if it was just one area.

It's just that if you draw the island directly, you can intuitively know where the treasure is, so as not to waste time.

"Then send a team of people and wait for us in the town, guard the ship by the way, and learn more information."

As if afraid that the crowd would not understand, Arka pointed to the houses around them.

"Do you see the number of these houses, it means that outsiders often arrive on this island, and just the day before yesterday a group of people just left."

Not to mention that there are houses for people of a larger size like Bororo.

At the same time, it also shows that there are enough strangers who come to this island.

And to be honest, they have only just arrived in the Boundless Sea, and they can be said to know very little about the information of the Boundless Sea as a whole.

The problem, however, is that the island's ordinary inhabitants have never left the island, and very few hunters have ever left the island and traveled abroad.

But not for nothing.

These people, too, are the source of Arka's general information about the entire Infinite Sea.

For them now, the intelligence of the Infinite Sea as a whole is infinitely more important than the intelligence within this small island.

These require someone to do it.

And the same island needs to be mapped, because this island is a real ruin.

He didn't know how much the islanders knew about the ruins, but he knew from the one they had left.

There are still many ruins that have not been opened, and they are afraid to open them.

The ruins of antiquity can also be opened in a special language.

It's hard not to associate them with treasure.

Since they have all come to this island, it is natural to have a good treasure hunt.

So maps are also essential.

Although they were not very numerous, they were enough to split into two teams and play in two lines.

After telling everyone what they thought, they began to discuss.

Quietly waiting for the arrival of the day.
