"By the way, do you need this?" The weird fishman who sells newspapers. He took out a small badge about the size of a thumb and said.

Jason, who was reading the newspaper, turned his head when he heard this.

Looking at the badge in his hand, it was a flying fish badge that was exactly the same as the flying fish on the plaque above his head.

"Is this thing any use? A gift? ”

The fish-man looked at Jason with his somewhat dark blue pupils open, looking like he didn't know anything.

"Flying Fish Badge, if you want to buy a newspaper while sailing on the boundless sea, bring this badge, and the surrounding Flying Fish will come and deliver you a newspaper."

"So amazing?" Jason took the badge and asked with some surprise.

"Yes, yes, it's that magical."

Seeing Jason take it, the fishman didn't say anything more. Sit back in your seat, flipping through the book in front of you.

Jason walked towards the harbor with his badge and newspaper.

Passing by a hotel, I glanced up.

Speaking of which, they sailed on the seas and lived on ships. Even if they docked, they still lived on the boat.

It's not about saving money.

Rather, the rooms on board are much better, more comfortable, and more familiar than most of the rooms in these hotels.

After all, the Sound of the Dawn was a ship that they had paid a lot of money for the private shipyard of the Church of Our Lady.

And also to make rooms that meet the needs of each of them.

There were only a few of them on the huge ship, and the puppet girls.

The space is not crowded at all.

Compared to ordinary hotels or other ships, their ships can be said to be equivalent to more luxurious hotels.

Unless they are staying far away from the port, it is difficult to return back and forth. The rest of the time they have always been able to live on the ship, so they live on the ship.

It didn't take much time to get to the port.

Passing through the laborers who were carrying the goods, re-ascended to the Sound of Dawn.

"You two are earlier than me." Jason looked at Arka and Shadetti, who were already chatting on the deck, and asked with some surprise.

Hearing Jason's voice, Arka turned his head to look at him.

"You're too slow, what do you have in your hand?"

"It's a newspaper, and it's written about the great events of the Infinite Sea."

Hear this.

Arka took the newspaper and looked at it, and the strip of the newspaper had a picture of a flying fish. It seems that this newspaper should be the so-called Flying Fish newspaper.

Shadetti and Lucilia also stood nearby, tilting their heads to peep.

The size of the whole newspaper is not large, and there are no pages when expanded.

Printed on both sides of the front and back, a total of 4 pages.

"Don't look at it yourself, read it." Bororo, who came over, said. He's too big to be seen, even with his head hooked.

"Okay."

"The headline on the front page reads ......"

"What's a front-page headline?"

Hearing this, he suddenly got stuck in the Arka shell.

"Uh...... It is the event information that needs the most attention. ”

"Oh oh, you go on."

"The pirate fleet, the Evil Spirit, was annihilated around the island of Soklo Roadmark, 12 ships and tens of thousands of pirates were spared.

The annihilators did not know what to do, and there were no witnesses. ”

"It's been 150 days and nights since the disappearance of the god of flowers, Tertsi, and the Laurel Priest Poleria has once again issued a bounty for anyone who can give definite information about it.

The last person who provided the information has been confirmed to have been rewarded. ”

When Arka read the news.

Several people who were listening to the information next to him immediately interrupted.

Arka also seemed to have stopped talking in anticipation.

"Wait, wait, god of flowers? What's that? ”

Simon asked with some surprise next to him.

The rest of the group were a little shocked.

Jason leaned against the mast and said, "You may not believe it, but there seem to be many gods in the Infinite Sea. ”

"The Four Gods ......"

At this time, Arka waved his hand: "It's different, the level of the four gods seems to be a stage stronger than these new gods, not a level." ”

He was not without gain in the church today, and some of the information in the church was directly on the surface, at least for him.

It is not surprising that in some places where information circulates in the Infinite Sea.

"These new gods have been shattered and re-ascended, or the gods who have died have not yet died and are about to be resurrected.

In addition to these gods, there are also some evil gods and evil gods who are disturbing this place. ”

"This place...... Is it so messy? ”

"Come to think of it, we didn't really stay in the Infinite Sea for long, did we?"

It has only been three or four years since they came to the Boundless Sea, which seems to be a long time, but in this chaotic sea, 1/3 of them are aimlessly sailing on the sea.

There were really only a handful of places they had ever been, except for the twin islands where they had just arrived.

Just wandering around the Broken Seas.

"Looks like we're a little bit of a loner."

After a few more moments, Arka finished reading some of the information from the newspaper.

Except for the first two messages, the rest of the information is something that some people who don't understand are doing something they don't understand somewhere.

They still know too little about some of the forces in the Boundless Sea, as well as well-known figures.

After a while, it suddenly became dark.

The crowd came to the dining room and began to eat dinner.

"Did you find any books about the world in the library of the church?" Julia asked suddenly.

That's what they're here for.

The Arka shook their heads.

Although there are many books in the library, they are all deliberately looking for them in some categories.

"There are very few books about the pre-war period, and there is no historical record of anything before that.

There are only a lot of archaeological and historical discoveries, as well as some speculations. ”

After saying that, Arka looked at Simon.

Simon also went to the Holy Machine Church on the left island today, and with the style of the Holy Machine Church, their library would definitely be bigger.

I don't care about some knowledge that may be classified as taboo.

"I didn't find any information either, but I did find some information that might be related to it."

Hearing this, the few people who were bored and dry raised their heads.

Simon said, "I've noticed a few defective Orders in the internal archives management. There was only one heretic group of them, and all the others were classified as cultists. ”

"Their ideas and deeds are more or less related to the destruction of the world, saying that they have been inspired by the world or something."

Hearing this, everyone instantly understood what it meant.

Obviously, like them, they were connected to the core of the world through some special means, and felt the washing of pain.

At the same time, I must have learned about the world and had a strong desire to self-destruct.

If some of these people have done something that is related to the preservation of the world environment, they will fall into the extreme like Julia.

It's normal to make such a choice.

"Correspondingly, there are also many orders with the idea of saving the world, and most of them are heretics."

The same reasonable choice.

The path chosen is also more difficult.

It may be that there will be such a situation in an unusually open and inclusive church like the Holy Machine Church.

"This shows that there are not a few people who know the nature of the world in the Infinite Sea." Julia said.

The crowd nodded in agreement.

"Oh, what a mess." Jason leaned back in his chair and sighed.

"Then have you heard any information about treasures, such as the more well-known treasure legends or something, after all, we are still a treasure hunting group."

Arka asked, eating his food as he looked at the crowd.

You can't forget about your job, and they really don't have a lot of money.

Especially for Jason.

At this time, Jason became interested, quickly ate the food in his mouth and said: "I have a treasure message here, which has been circulating on this island for a long time, and has a certain degree of credibility. ”

"Oh, tell me."

Jason told everyone what he had learned in the tavern today.

After hearing this, Arka thought for a while and said, "You go and ask again tomorrow, and we will go to the church archives to check if there is any relevant information." ”

Both Jason and Simon nodded.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, before dawn, the crowd left the Sound of Dawn.

After all, there are ten or twenty hours of night in this world.

"Shadetti, you help make a map of the twin islands. If you can, look for all the maps on the surrounding island chains and see if you can buy them.

Anyway, I can buy a copy of all the maps I can buy on this island, as long as you look at it and live up to my standards. ”

Shadetti nodded, and parted ways with Arka.

Everyone on board knew that Arka had a thirst for things like maps.

If you have the time and opportunity, you will help collect it, no matter where the map is.

Arka went to the church alone, and in a room on the side of the library, he found an elderly priest at the counter.

"What's the matter? Child. ”

"I want to ask, is there any information about the Nafas family here?"

Hearing this, the old priest looked up and glanced at Arka with a slightly dull and cloudy eye.

Looking at Alka's young appearance, he shook his head helplessly.

"Another young man who wants to get rich. Every year, alas, how can a treasure hunt be so easy?

This is very dangerous, and it takes a lot of hard work, and it may not be possible to reap the same amount of wealth.

And maybe someone has already taken the lead, and it's too good to think. ”

He babbled, but he stepped out of his counter anyway, clubbing a cane.

Arka hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to help him.

The priest was apparently very pleased with Alka's behavior.

"Polite boy, that's good."

With Alka's help, he came to a deep bookcase inside.

"Counting from the bottom to the top of the third floor, there is a file numbered 1616 on it, decoded as 6161, in the lingua franca."

Hearing the elder priest's words, Arka nodded.

Reaching out to open the bookcase, he stood on tiptoe slightly before he got the file almost near the top.

Mana delivery, talking about 6161.

A wave of resistance vanished, and Arka took the file down.

This is a document made with some kind of strange construction.

The symbol of the Virgin Mary is painted on it, as well as various information records.

Looking at the spells on this, they are all used for protection and destruction.

If you use brute force, you may not get anything.

"Yes, that's right, that's it. It cannot be taken out, and only 20% of the information can be transcribed according to the level of confidentiality. Check it out for me when you're done transcribing. ”

Saying that, the old man raised his head and looked at Arka and asked, "Do you want to transcribe it?" ”

"Yes."

"Right next to my counter, just copy and look there, there's pen and paper next to it."

Arka nodded. Helping the old man back to his counter. After he sat down, he took a small bench and sat next to him to open the file.

Look at the information inside, pick out some key points, and transcribe them.

Look at Arka's earnestness.

The old priest said, "O Nafis family 50 years ago, when I was young, I saw them with my own eyes. ”

"Oh? How are they? Arka asked curiously.

The old priest leaned against the wall and stared up at the ceiling.

It's like reminiscing about the past, and it's like sighing.

said: "At that time, their family could be called the most powerful family on this island, and they were also believers in the Holy Mother.

I've helped churches with a lot of things, and I worked with some of their family members at the time. I have to say that their tutors are still very good.

It's a pity ......."

"What's wrong?" Arka responded at the right time.

"I remember...... It was a night. At that time, a violent storm was raging around the twin islands.

You know, it's hard to see storms around the Twin Islands, and the storms were big, big, the biggest I've ever seen in my life.

I was still resting, and then something happened, and the wails and screams of our souls rang in our ears and were inaudible to ordinary people.

But at that time, all the touchers on the island whose strength was above the second stage could clearly hear it, and the scream pierced the soul. ”

Saying that, the old pastor still looked palpitating.

Alka listened attentively from the side, quietly responding from time to time as a listener.

"Then I went with the knights of the church to check it out. The whole family ...... The entire family was spared, without any external injuries on their bodies, and all of them died as if their souls had been extracted.

Later, I learned that even those family members who were outside the home did not survive. ”

Hearing this, Arka asked curiously beside him, "I heard that it wasn't their competitors who did a good thing?" ”

"Hehe, those people don't dare to do these things. We also checked with the families who had the biggest conflict with them at the time, and they were simply not capable of doing this.

This is just rhetoric to the outside world. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

"Was their family strong at the time?"

"Of course, their family has a full 3 'Crowners' and 14 'Staff Bearers', which is not unpowerful in and around the Twin Islands."

Arka already knew that the so-called crown wearer refers to members of the sixth stage and above, and it is said that it is only at this stage that they have the ability to control a [crown] level treasure.

In other words, this family has a full three members of stage 6 and 14 members of stage 4~5 or above.

It's terrifying.

In his current worldview, it can indeed be called a word for power.

While chatting, Arka picked out the more important confidence in the file and transcribed it.

After transcribing, checking it, and cleaning it up. Arka said goodbye to the old man.

Returned to the ship.

The rest of the group soon returned.

A few people stayed in the captain's room and began to learn the information.

"I have very little information here, the Nafis family mainly believes in the Virgin, and only a few family members will deviate from the scriptures."

Hearing Simon's words, Arka nodded.

Tell him what he's learned.

"According to the archives of the Church of Our Lady, the cause of death in this family was an unknown loss of soul, a soul loss overnight, resulting in the death of all members of the family."

"Family members? How do you count as a family member? Jason asked sternly beside him.

"yes, that's where it gets interesting. It is all the nominal members of the family, regardless of whether they are related by blood or not.

All the hired slaves and servants were just unconscious.

And even if they are related to the main lineage family, they have already been sentenced to leave the family, but they have not suffered from the defect of the soul. ”

Hearing this, Jason nodded.

In other words, all the members of the nominally known as the Nafas family will have difficulty escaping.

If you think about it, there must be some kind of joining ceremony.

"From this point on, the Church deduces that the effect of the curse is in the name of the family."

"Moreover, there is a suspicious speculation in the archives that the head of the family may have deliberately made a deal with the soul in return for something.

Of course, this is just a speculation, there is no specific information. ”

Regardless, he finally got some insight into the family.

At least more than the average person knows.

After all, the connection between the family and the Church of Our Lady is quite strong.

"And you deduce from the archives whether this treasure exists?"

"It should exist, because the death was too sudden, and after the subsequent search, it was true that they did not find the location of their family's treasure house.

Apparently not in the Twin Islands, presumably on other islands in the Twin Islands chain. ”

With that, Arka looked at Jason.

"What about you? Did you get any information from here? ”

"I don't know much about the specific information of this family, but I have a certain understanding of the folk reputation."

"I don't know if it's because of the relationship between the Virgin Mary, they have a good reputation among the civilians on the island, and there are not too many scandals.

Even if there were, most of the scandals were about women, you know. However, no useful deeds have been found in this regard. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

The family that believes in Our Lady still has a relatively high moral bottom line.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for Our Lady not to answer their prayers.

After everyone finished telling what they knew.

Xia Daiti took the map she had gathered.

That's the point.
