Jason: They didn't think of it.

They only learned a few days ago that there might be people from the outside world coming here after a while.

I didn't expect to meet it today.

And the first encounter was such a large ship, this ship was basically the largest ship they had ever seen.

The hull of the entire ship is black and gray, the center of the white sail is painted pale gray, and the image of holding a gold coin in one hand is painted on it.

I just don't know if this pattern is the fleet of this merchant ship, or if it is a symbol of a larger power.

Jason looked and saw that there was only a row of gun muzzles on either side of the ship, indicating that the ship had a gun deck, which was obviously not in keeping with the size of the ship.

But when it comes to the thought that this ship is a merchant ship, such firepower seems to be a bit excessive.

After all, such a large ship, even if there is only one row, the number is amazing enough.

The combat effectiveness of the ship is certainly not low either.

However, the muzzles of these guns are now closed, so Ajayson is not able to tell what the guns are inside in this way.

He was very curious about what the shipborne guns in the Infinite Sea were, but no matter how he thought about it, it seemed that they would be so strong as the Homeland Sea.

Under Jason's watch.

A tall, thin-looking, seemingly weak man stepped out of the boat.

Judging by the outfit on his body, he was supposed to be the captain of the ship, and the members of the ship followed behind him.

And the mayor of the town walked up directly, smiled and hugged him.

Looking at the appearance of the two, they should be very familiar.

But it was too far away for Jason to hear.

I saw that the tall and thin regiment leader suddenly pointed to the sound of dawn next to him, as if asking something.

The mayor smiled and explained.

Then the people on both sides began to carry the supplies.

The captain and the mayor entered the town surrounded by their own guards.

"Lucilia, what do you think of that captain's strength?" Jason asked, looking at the two who were already far away.

Lucilia stood on the barrel next to her and shook her head: "I'm just a puppet now, I can't see it, you should ask Chardeti or Julia, it's really not good, and Arka is okay." ”

The last zero-sum one nodded in agreement.

Watching the movements of these three characters, Jason sighed.

So although they came together to collect intelligence, it was clear that they were the only ones who were collecting intelligence.

Lucilia, just translate.

Zero-sum pendant only.

Forget it, let's continue to collect information.

Immediately looked around in the crowd next to him, and found an old hunter who had been drinking in the tavern last night.

The kind that speaks the lingua franca of the homeland.

walked over and said with a smile: "Hey, Gangyan, my good friend didn't expect to meet you here, do you want to have a drink tonight?" ”

The old hunter's nose was slightly red, and he seemed to be a little confused now, obviously an old drunkard.

When I heard someone calling me, I turned my head to look.

Looking at the person in front of him, it seemed familiar, but he suddenly couldn't remember it for a while.

Seeing that Jason was so enthusiastic, he also replied with a smile, "You please?" ”

"Haha, of course I please!"

"Friend, I'm glad you said that, but I probably won't be able to do it tonight." The old hunter also seemed to think of Jason, and shook his head regretfully.

Jason nodded understandingly, didn't ask, but looked at the current weather and said, "That'...... Right now? ”

“…… Now, not so good. There was wavering in his tone.

"Haha, come on, the wine can't be disappointed."

With that, Jason smiled and entered the town's tavern with the old hunter he had met only last night.

Looking at Jason, as if he was going out for a drink with a good brother, Lucilia watched in silence.

"To be honest, I already admire him a little."

How the hell did he get acquainted with such a stranger in just one night, in a few hours of one night?

They don't even have a bit of a fluency in communication.

I can't figure it out.

Sure enough, everyone has their own strengths.

Lucilia sighed, and the three dolls disappeared into the shadows under the barrels.

As Lucilia, who can understand the language of these people, she doesn't necessarily have to communicate to gather information.

Eavesdropping is also a very good tool.

The main thing is that the opportunity is rare now, and Lucilia, who is on her way to the path of assassins and thieves, will certainly not let go of such a rare opportunity.

When the white birds on the island fly up and return to their nests again.

The people of Arka also began their return journey.

However, on the return trip, they were not empty-handed, and they carried all kinds of prey with them.

Naturally, these were not specifically hunted by them, but they bumped into them without opening their eyes.

It would be a shame to lose it.

If you want to attack them, you have to leave something behind.

When the people of Arka dragged a large pile of prey into the town, they attracted the attention of the surrounding islanders.

But that's all, it seems that they have long been used to it.

Outsiders who have been on the island for a while will always bring a bunch of prey like this.

Given the environment on this island, this is unavoidable.

At this time, Jason, who was drinking in a tavern not far away, watched this scene and asked the drinker next to him.

Don't miss every opportunity.

Until night falls again.

Arka and the others broke down the bodies next to the hut they rented, piling up various materials and cloth in a pile, but sending them to the cabin at dawn.

"By the way, Arka, an outsider has come to this island today, and they are driving a large cargo ship." Lucilia thought of something and said suddenly.

"Outsiders?" Arka was interested.

"Is it the group of people who came to this island to trade from the information we obtained before?"

Lucilia nodded.

"Then tell me what you saw today."

With Alka's questions, Lucilia began to tell him what they had seen in the harbor today.

After listening, Arka rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

At this time, Jason also walked back drunk.

"How? Did you get any information? Arka looked at him and asked suddenly.

Jason shook his head after washing his face.

"A lot of the old hunters don't know much about these ruins, even though they often deal with the problems they cause.

There are some clues, I'll dig deeper tomorrow, but don't get your hopes up, they rarely study these ruins, and even if they do, they don't know anything that ordinary hunters like they can know. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded and did not force it, nor did he ask too much.

Anyway, when it comes to intelligence gathering, there must be no one on the ship who is more professional than Jason.

If Jason can't collect it, he can only spend more time asking in his dreams.

"But I'm a little curious about those outsiders, I'm curious about the situation of the whole Boundless Sea, I have to find a chance to talk to those people." Jason leaned against the fire and looked at the sparks floating in the fire.

Since the vast majority of the islanders on these islands have never left, they know very little about the specifics of the entire Infinite Sea.

Hearing this, Arka nodded as well.

Then he said: "I'm going to squat in my dreams all night tonight to see if I can squat in the dream bubbles of those outsiders." ”

Obviously, to gather intelligence from strangers, such a method is best.

Hearing this, Jason nodded as well.

"If you get any information, tell me tomorrow morning, so I can write it down and see if I can find some opportunities to get more."

Arka nodded in acknowledgment.

After eating a barbecue feast of the prey she had obtained today, Arka couldn't wait to return to her room and sink into a dream.

Wake up from your own dream bubble.

You can see that inside the huge hedron floating in the middle of the Arka Dream Bubble, there are already a lot of golden energy balls flying around inside.

At the same time, you can see a lot of silver energy, which is definitely a lot more than before.

These silver energy arkas have long known how they are obtained.

Probably every day and night, when Arka enters the dream bubble for the first time, it will bring some silver energy.

The time of refresh Alka has been tried, and it should be refreshed every night.

Other than that, he didn't see any way to get it.

And the amount you get every time you come in is not necessarily exactly the same, and you don't know what factors determine it.

But in any case, having a stable access channel is bound to be a good thing.

In addition, there are various dream materials around this floating crystal, and Arka finds it useful, so instead of turning it into dream energy, it is piled up around it, and it may be useful at some point.

Mainly after coming to the Boundless Sea, although I got a lot of materials on the island, I don't have much free time to care about these now.

After flying out of his dream bubble, the first thing he does is to clean up the dream creatures around his teammates.

In this town's gathering place, there are simply an outrageous number of dream creatures around.

I can't finish clearing it up.

Alka basically cleans up every night when you come in and when you come back.

Sometimes it's cleaned up again in the middle of the process.

However, it didn't work at all, and when he came back again, he saw a large number of various dream creatures trying to destroy the dream bubble in order to obtain the energy inside.

The more you gather, the more creatures you attract.

In this regard, Arka has no good way, so he can only clean it up over and over again.

Even in the end, only those that seem to be more powerful are cleaned up, and there is a possibility of piercing the bubble and invading the dream.

As for the weak ones, forget it, just let them scratch it, and they may not be able to scratch the skin until they wake up.

Looking at the dream bubbles around him that began to gradually increase due to the arrival of night, Arka scratched his hair a little irritably.

Dream bubbles are basically the same to Arka as long as they are strangers, except for the size and glossiness.

But the good thing is that he doesn't need to go looking for bubbles one by one today.

When Jason had just returned, he had already told Arka where the arriving merchant marines were located in the real town.

Although it is impossible to know the specific location due to the short distance between the dream and reality, as long as the specific direction is known, it can already relieve Arka of great repetitive work.

Thinking of this, Arka began to look all the way to the past according to the opposite direction of the direction provided by Jason.

Each bubble has to be probed in to see if the dreamer has gray skin and orange eyes.

Thankfully, the two races don't look the same.

The islanders were clearly an offshoot of a particular race, and the members of the caravan were more like ordinary humans.

At least on the outside.

Reaching all the way through, I finally found a normal human dream near the end of the road.

Although I didn't see the owner of the dream, the environment of the dream was very different.

The place where the dream was located was in some of the more lively cities, and Arka looked at the surrounding architecture, which he had never seen before.

The main body of these buildings is mostly composed of gray brass and black, and the whole city looks very gloomy.

But in some key places, they will use bright colors as embellishments, so that the obviously somewhat oppressive streets seem to have a different vitality.

The buildings are relatively symmetrical, but almost every one of them is topped by a spire.

On this street, Arka saw that the road beneath his feet was paved with almost identical rectangular stone bricks.

There is also a horse-drawn carriage parked in the middle of the road.

"It's hard." Standing in the middle of the street, Arka couldn't help but say.

Although the dream is not large, it is completely composed of various buildings stacked on top of each other, with only a main road and a few alleys connected to each other.

Some of these buildings have seven or eight floors, so who knows which room the owner of the dream is in?

Most people who have this kind of dream will only do one or two things in their own room, constantly circulating, or even in a daze.

I didn't expect to be looking for a long time outside, and I had to continue looking for it when I got here.

It's a nuisance.

But what can be done? After all, it's someone else's dream, so you can only honestly look for them one by one.

Finally, a young man dressed as a newsboy and wearing brown fur was finally seen in the window on the third floor of an alley.

He supported his head with his hands, leaned against the window, and stared at the sky with glazed eyes.

Arka looked at the young male.

His hair is grayish-brown and his face is slightly angular, judging by the facial features and overall bone structure of his face.

Although the same normal human beings.

But apparently there are still some differences with the race of the homeland sea.

The skin appears slightly dull.

Arka entered the room and looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "What's the name of this city?" ”

He didn't even turn his head.

It has nothing to do with the city.

Arka thought for a moment and asked the simplest question.

"What's your name?"

This time he reacted, and said without looking back: "Jack, if you don't have a surname, it's called Jack." ”

Boy.

What is the name is not good for this name, as soon as Arka heard this name, he thought of bad memories and shook his head helplessly.

However, this person is willing to answer the name, which means that the desire to communicate is quite high, as long as he does not deviate too far, he will answer.

Arka looked at the structure of the room he was in, trying to find out what the man's dreams were related to.

After all, they are already in the city, and they don't even say the name of the city, so it obviously has little to do with the city.

After looking at it for a long time, Arka saw a picture in the man's other hand on his chest.

Wait a minute......

Photo?

Arka crouched down and took a closer look, it was indeed not a painting, it was really a photo.

It seems that this boundless sea is quite technologically advanced.

The photo is in black and white.

Above is a family photo.

A pair of adult men and women, who seem to be his parents, and a relatively young man, who looks about four or five years younger than now.

and a little girl.

"Very nice family, what's wrong with them?"

Aka asked.

"They...... Can't come back. ”

Looking at the person in front of him, finally willing to answer, Arka began to follow this line of thought and began to ask extended questions.

After asking him no more, Arka left the dream bubble, summed up the harvest of this bubble, and moved on to the next one.

However, it is clear that not everyone's dreams are just enough for Arka to gain information.

Almost half of these people's dreams are related to the island, or to various pleasures.

Dreams have always reflected what is going on during the day.

It's inevitable.

However, there are still a small number of dreams that are different, and even from this small number of them, Arka has gained enough information.

This at least allows him to meet people in the outside world, so that people will not realize at first glance that he has just arrived in the Infinite Sea.

He gained a lot of information that was common sense in the Infinite Sea.

But for those of them who came from the Four Divine Seas, these common senses were incomprehensible to them.

I don't know how long it took, but as the night lasted longer, more dream bubbles appeared around.

One of them is about the size of the mayor of this town.

Obviously, this is the captain of the ship, the leader of the merchant ship.

Arka was thinking about whether to pick a more powerful dream bubble and take a look.

It should be the cadres of this ship.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't be entangled, after all, except that the captain's dream bubble is very big, and he doesn't really want to go in.

The dream bubbles around here are about the same as his strength, and they are basically not as big as his dream bubbles, so they don't need to be taken into account too much.

And he is afraid of bigger bubbles, and he is only afraid that people who have reached the third stage of strength may find some situations in the dream realm, which is a bit more than worth the loss.

The reason why he struggled was because over time, the surrounding environment made Arka a little confused.

It's very abnormal.

Compared to the outside, the contrast of the whole town is very obvious.
