"Can you still drink it?"

Arka looked at Balaz in front of him, and Balaz's cheeks were red and full of wine.

The eyes are all half-open.

"My friend, don't be small, look at me, I've been drinking since I was a child...... Growing up in it, this little wine is of course a small thing to me. ”

Listening to him even start to speak, it is obvious that he is not as strong as he said.

It seems that the alcohol content in the wine that grew up is not high.

"Okay, let's have another drink." Arka said helplessly, clinking his glass with him.

After all, Balazs is not in a good mood right now, and alcohol is the easiest means of venting.

At least he's not going crazy, that's good, isn't it?

As long as you don't get drunk, then if you're drunk, you'll be drunk.

"Ah~ cool!"

Balazs let out a sigh of relief and placed his glass on the table, leaning heavily against the wall beside him.

"It's really bad luck this time, it's all to blame on those damn traitors."

"I think I'm a good captain, I've been a merchant for more than ten years, from a small boat that is only more than 30 meters long to a big merchant ship with a length of 70 meters, and I haven't treated them badly with my brothers."

"As a result, those guys actually betrayed just for 382 gold sails, alas."

Leaning against the wall as he spoke, he sighed heavily.

Then he looked at Arka with half-squinted eyes, and asked heavily: "Friend, I know that you also have treasures in your hands, and there are only so many places, and I can't help it when I get it, right?" ”

Hearing this, Arka's eyes widened slightly, and he looked around vigilantly.

This is clearly not the place to say such things.

Looking at the way Arka looked, Balazs smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, friend, I'm just drunk, not stupid enough to be that level."

As he spoke, he opened the palm of his left hand, and there was a circular pattern on the palm of his palm.

A faint amount of magic poured out.

On a disc-shaped object, a white stone disc with dense regular patterns emerges.

You can see the lines flowing on it like magma, revealing a fiery red color.

As soon as this thing came out, Arka felt it.

It's a treasure.

Balazs then made a move that amazed Arka.

He took the treasure and threw it at the boss at the bar.

"Rocella, then, keep it for me."

The muscular, dark-skinned old man opened his one eye, raised his right hand, and caught the treasure.

Then he casually threw it next to the bar, without any idea at all.

And the customers who were drinking around only raised their eyes slightly, as if they were used to it and were not interested.

"See." His expression was slightly smug, then he bent forward slightly, and whispered next to Alka, "This is no ordinary bar, there are spells that change words next to every seat. He who does not have treasures will not be able to ascend. ”

Hearing this, Arka looked at the table he was propping on, but he didn't see anything different.

Now that I think about it, I realize that there is indeed something wrong.

The words passed from the surrounding seats were indeed a little too plain, and it always seemed like normal small talk.

Arka thought that the people who came to this bar were more civilized, but was that the reason?

And he didn't even feel that there was a mechanism to detect treasures when he came up, no, it was surprising that there should be a mechanism that could detect whether someone had a treasure.

And it's just in this tavern.

There were only about 10 people seated.

So what if that's the case......

It's amazing, because this place is obviously only for people who are familiar with the island.

The treasures here are really unusually overflowing.

The Infinite Sea...... It's really not to be underestimated.

You have to be more low-key.

Arka thought silently.

Balazs was then heard whining while he was drunk.

"You may not believe it, but in fact, when I got the treasure, more than half of the quota on my treasure was used, and when I got it, I could only enlighten a dozen people."

Speaking of which, he was unusually depressed.

"Alas, I can understand them, of course I can't help it, every revelation is so precious, I have done my best to provide places for those friends who follow me along the way, but it is still a little short."

With that, he poured himself another glass and took a sip of it.

Truth be told, Arka doesn't have a lot of empathy with.

He didn't think that there was anything precious about the Revelation place, but it was too much.

There are now a total of 6 people in charge of the treasure on the ship.

Except for people like Jason who hold living "treasures", and Lucilia's special treasure people.

The remaining 4 people have 5 treasures in their hands, and the total number of places is more than 600, close to 700.

The treasure quota in each of them has hardly been used, and even those who have occupied it have long since died.

In the sea of homeland, there are less than 20 people of revelation.

I don't know how to use so many places, and how you can make him empathize.

Although he can't empathize, Arka can understand.

Do not suffer from few, but suffer from unevenness.

And the later it is revealed, the greater the gap will be, and the more anxious the mentality will be.

Balazs seemed to have finished grumbling, leaning against the wall and drinking to himself.

Arka suddenly said: "Speaking of which, we encountered an interesting thing before leaving this time. ”

"Oh?" Balazs turned his head with a curious expression.

What are some interesting things to come across on the Broken Isle all the time?

"You didn't come this time, so you didn't know that a group of pirates had landed on the island, and the target was coming straight for us."

"According to the information we obtained from the torture, it is said that it is because your shipment contains some valuables that are different from what they used to, but I think that is obviously not enough for them to spend a lot of time.

Maybe some of your crew members have provided some information that shouldn't have been given. ”

Hearing Arka's words, Balazs frowned.

"Pirates...... One of the betrayers was indeed in collusion with a group of pirates, and did their captain have a scar from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth? ”

Arka nodded, the captain he had killed did have such characteristics.

"The Bone Pirates, some cowardly scum with no great skills."

"I'm sorry, because our problems are putting you in danger." Balazs sincerely apologized.

Arka waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"It's not dangerous, don't worry."

Except for the captain Arka, who put a little effort into it, the rest of the pirate members were just rubbish.

At this time, Balazs suddenly thought of something.

Slowly raising his hand, the pocket ring shimmered.

Half of a map made of human skin appeared in his hand.

"Did you get this map from him?"

Look at this map.

Alka didn't expect the other half to be here in Balazs.

What a coincidence.

Another half appeared in his hand.

Looking at this map, Balaz was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It's really interesting." ”

Then he explained: "The reason why the traitor wants to be connected with this pirate group is because the leader of the pirate group has taken a fancy to this half of the map in my hand. ”

"I didn't care about it at first, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Arka listened, sipping slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the human skin map.

At this point, the map is facing up, and the front is covered with Arka on the table.

The atmosphere between the two of them quieted down slightly.

Balazs seemed to be sobering up, thinking about something.

"So friend, are you interested in cooperating?"

He pushed the map over and said.

Arka looked at him and asked directly, "If you don't mind, would you like to tell me a little bit of information about this map?" ”

As he spoke, Arka flipped his map over and put it together with the one he had pushed.

Seeing Alka's sincere movements, Balazs no longer hid anything and said: "This human skin map was peeled off the skin of the body of a pirate leader 20 years ago.

He is still known for the broken seas around Southern Cross Island, but he is also an equal scumbag, specializing in robbing merchant ships and some immigrants on the islands, but it also gives him an astonishing fortune. ”

"Cautious and ruthless, in order not to reveal his whereabouts, he often destroys entire ships and sinks them into the sea, causing countless killings."

"He was caught and refused to tell him where he hid his treasure until he died, and the concern was that he had tattoos all over his body."

"After his death, two pieces of skin were inexplicably missing from his body, in different locations."

As he spoke, he gestured to the two human skin maps on the table.

It is obvious that although the maps are stitched together, there are obvious differences in both the drawing and the skin tone, and the texture.

Obviously not in one area.

"One of the skin maps, when I got this treasure, came with a bonus.

I used to be quite concerned, but then I really didn't know where the other half of the skin was, so I gave up. ”

"This wealth may be able to make up for my losses and even take my chamber of commerce a step further."

Balazs looked at Arka, waiting for his answer.

However, he felt that Alka should not refuse.

After all, they're treasure hunts, aren't they?

Alka seemed to be in deep thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the map.

In fact, he had already learned about the treasure points on the map in the blink of an eye.

There is very little point, just one.

The golden pillar of light, according to the saying, is definitely not just a treasure.

There are certainly many additional riches that come with it.

And it was this golden spot where he struck.

【Bloody Treasure】

[Difficulty: Seeker (Stage 3)]

[Popularity: 86,000]

[Treasure information: A treasure hidden by a scumbag pirate, this is his life's harvest, and it is also ill-gotten gain, stained with the blood and souls of innocents.

The treasure was hidden in an unexpected place, a safe enough place that only he knew. 】

Since it's golden light, then Arka must definitely go.

The problem is that he doesn't know enough information.

He didn't even know the pirate's name.

And most importantly, he didn't know which island the map was pointing to.

Because even if two maps are put together, the map drawn on them is only an area, and the shape of an island is not even known.

The golden points of light are clearly marked in a very detailed area.

If there were no points, it would be impossible to see anything from this map.

As for the unexpected places mentioned on the treasure, they are clearly marked, so what if they are unexpected?

The only thing to care about is where the island is.

Cooperation is inevitable.

Otherwise, just collecting intelligence, they would have to waste a lot of time on Arka and their time, so it would be better to cooperate with Balaz, who has been cultivating Southern Cross Island for more than ten years.

"How are the treasures distributed?" Arka asked suddenly.

Listening to Arka meant he agreed, and Balazs smiled.

To be honest, if he were to find it alone, he really wouldn't have the ability.

Because even if the two maps were put together, he couldn't understand what it was.

Because it's all lines, there's no telling where the treasure is buried.

It's better to have no map.

But Arka: They are a treasure hunt, and they are much more professional than themselves.

"You guys are professional, do you have any proposals?"

Arka banged on the table.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Both sides will send their own people, and they will be distributed according to the contributions of both sides, and the one with the highest contribution will be given priority." ”

Hearing this, Balazs pondered for a moment.

This plan sounds very fair, at least according to the contribution, Balazs has a single combat force, plus he provides half of the map.

The contribution from his side is not too low.

He thought that he would definitely not play a big role in the treasure hunt, at most he would be a thug and provide some information that he could get.

He basically couldn't do anything else.

He has this self-knowledge.

But he was afraid that there was something in the wealth that he did not understand, after all, he was only a businessman, not an expert in forensics, nor an archaeologist.

He doesn't have such a good eyesight, especially when it comes to finding treasures.

As we all know, treasures are restrained.

If you don't take it and put some mana into it, you don't even know it's a treasure.

He's afraid to look away here.

Some of the treasures look really earthy.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Yes, but the two parties must not conceal the value of the treasure they already know, and they can sign a god contract." ”

Sure enough, it is impossible to bluff one.

It's all human spirits.

Arka was a little regretful, he was just using the treasure as a thing he could clearly see the border and know that it was a treasure.

But apparently others are not stupid either.

Nodding: "No problem." ”

He was still confident that he would take most of the contributions, and then take the treasure.

It's a big deal to give him all the rest of your wealth.

"Okay, happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

The two of them clasped hands together and smiled at the same time.

Then each put their own map into their pocket rings.

"I'll get my side of the matter out of the way first, some of the troubles might take five or six days and nights.

When the time comes, we will meet here, and no matter how specific we discuss, I will also sort out the information I know during this period. ”

Hearing Balazs's words, Arka nodded: "No problem, it just so happens that I'm quite interested in this island." ”

After the two finished talking, a bell rang outside.

Hearing the bell, Balazs looked up at the window and said, "The bell rings an hour before night, and it rings the same when day comes. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

In other words, there must be some ability or props that can know the arrival of night and day in advance.

The two left their seats.

Balazs took the treasure in his hand on the bar and greeted the boss.

The two walked down together.

In the entrance of the store of Balazs separately.

"I've been drinking for so long, time flies." Arka looked at the pedestrians on the street and thought silently.

Stretched hard.

Head back towards the harbor.

Even though night was coming, there was not much change in the surroundings.

However, there were some figures wearing helmets and carrying shock rifles on their backs on the streets.

They are dressed in brownish-gray clothes, and the cross on their chest indicates that they belong to the local power here.

One of them was not carrying a weapon, but was walking on the side of the road with a long metal rod.

Come to a street lamp, lift the long metal rod and thread it through a hole under the lampshade.

A faint amount of magic poured from his hand into the metal rod.

Light the street lights.

A pale white flame then ignited in the lampshade, which seemed to amplify the light.

Was it ignited like this?

Alka thought it would light up on its own, but the scenery was quite interesting.

After watching for a while, Arka quickened his pace.

When he came to the port again, it was still a cacophony of voices.

However, as the bells rang, the busy laborers on the harbor decreased considerably, and there was a noisy sound from the tavern at the entrance of the street.

Food stalls propelled by wooden carts are also launched like a square.

Some hungry laborers began to buy food on it.

Arka tilted his head and looked at the bread-like food, which looked pretty good.

It seems that in the Infinite Sea, food does not seem to be too difficult to obtain.

He hadn't even seen some yellow-skinned, hungry people on the island.

However, the scenery is unusually full of fireworks.

I couldn't help but slow down.

Look at the way these laborers work, and see some housewives delivering meals with lunch boxes.

Take advantage of this gap in labor.

Some laborers sat next to them and temporarily warmed up with their families.

"Let me go, sir."

A man with an unscrupulous person on his back spoke from behind Alka.

Arka immediately turned his body sideways and got out of the way, and subconsciously said, "I'm sorry." ”

His apology surprised the laborer who carried the goods, but he nodded and left quickly.

In a moment the sky was covered with a curtain.

The bright sky immediately darkened.

But there are many twinkling stars and shimming stars in the night sky, so the night does not seem to be dark tonight.
