Stacks of maps of all sizes, large and small, were stacked on the table.

As the maps were brought up, the rest of the people were quieter, sitting silently next to them, no longer distracting too much.

Now is the time for Alka, as the captain of the ship, to think alone.

Generally speaking, after checking the map Alka, you will have a goal and then make a decision.

After so many years of getting along day and night, they have figured out Arka's habits.

Look at the pile of maps that were being pushed over.

Alka picked up the first of them from above and looked at it.

This is not a map to be exact.

Because this is a simple but clearly annotated map of the island chain.

The map of the island chain looks very clear and easy to understand, with all sorts of information on it.

The approximate range of when and at what distance each island will appear is almost clearly written.

There is also a gear marker in the upper right corner of this map.

It is obviously a map issued by the Holy Machine Church, rigorous and serious, and the data is clear.

It's worth a good review.

Below is a stack of various maps related to the islands in the chain.

"There are a total of six linked islands in the Twin Island Chain, two of which are more important. It produces some more important materials, and the resident population is also large.

Two of the remaining four islands are inhabited by people and are mainly used for food production. The last two islands are two desert islands, one large and one small. ”

After a brief description of the general situation, Shadetti quietly waited for Alka to check the map.

Arka looked at the maps.

There is actually a map on every island, and this time the collection is very complete.

And if you look at the detail of the map of this island, you can know that it has been updated.

There are also different versions of the map of the same island, and even different time periods.

Except for those two desert islands.

Then it's much simpler.

Arka first picked up the map of the twin islands, blinked his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

It is the largest twin islands.

However, there are only three white dots on the map, and almost all of them are at the border of the islands.

This means that they may just be buried in the sand, or some valuables that have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

It may be worth a few silver coins, but it may also be worth a lot of money.

But Arka didn't expect the island to be so clean.

He thought that the Twin Islands would be clean if they were developed to the extent they were now, but not so much that they would have only three white spots.

Reached out and nodded.

All the treasures displayed are ordinary treasures, indicating that Arka does not know any information.

With some regret, I put the map aside and looked at the other maps.

The first are the two more populous resource islands.

The two islands are separated on two sides, one controlled by one of the two churches.

Arka blinked and looked.

There are not many white spots, and there are one or two blue dots, and I also reached out and clicked on them.

But this time it's interesting.

There is a white dot and a blue dot revealing the name of the treasure.

This suggests that Arka may know a little bit about it.

But it's almost guaranteed to have little relevance to their goals.

Then take a look at the remaining 4 maps.

It's also all white and blue, and most of them are unnamed treasures.

The rest of the treasure reveals only the name of the treasure and a few pieces of information.

This suggests that Arka may just know that these treasures are inconsequential information.

It may be extended through a variety of information.

For example, Arka knows the name of a place, and knows the name of a certain family.

And the information he wanted to know about the target was completely non-existent.

The only thing that can be assured is.

This family does have a treasure trove hidden, but I don't know where.

But it is also possible that the treasure trove is on the islands of these island chains, but it has already been taken first.

It's not impossible that they're a step late.

After all, it has been more than 50 years, and when this family first died, there must have been countless people who set their sights on this treasure.

Either this treasure trove is not on these island chains, and is hidden in a more hidden place by this family.

With such a powerful family, it is definitely possible to have some secrets of its own.

Not to mention that Arka didn't know much about the deeper things of the Infinite Sea.

Seeing this map, Arka was a little depressed and swept it.

Pile it up and throw it into the Space Ring.

"Looks like there's nothing to gain this time?" Shadetti asked, looking at Alka's expression, on the other side.

Arka nodded.

"Nothing has been gained, and the places represented by these maps do not detect any smell of valuable treasures."

"That's a pity." Jason said, leaning back in his chair.

But I didn't show any regrets.

Treasure hunting is like this, after all, they are only tentatively understanding.

No more intelligence is known than others, and probably less.

The main thing is that they don't put much effort into it.

It's also good to stop your losses early.

That's probably where Arka gets the most out of it.

At least in their eyes.

In the real treasure hunt, sometimes, most of the effort and time may be done in vain.

"Don't worry, I've got an interesting map here."

Xia Daiti said with a smile.

Hearing this, several people present looked at her.

I saw that she took out a map that was more than a meter wide from the spatial ring, and it was very finely made.

There is a clear difference between the materials that are made. Arka and Simon in the second field can see at a glance that this material must be using a spell material.

Use spell materials to draw maps.

Alka was looking forward to it.

He took it from Xia Daiti's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Area map?" Looking at the appearance of this map, Arka thought with some surprise.

"This is the sea? Not an island? And this is a picture of a sea area with no signposts, right? ”

Hearing Alka's doubts, Xia Daiti nodded: "Yes, that's right, I was also very surprised when I saw this map. It stands to reason that there could be no map like this in the Infinite Sea.

But when I think about it, it's a boundless sea. ”

That's right, it's an endless sea, and there's something strange that can't be accepted.

"What's going on?" Simon asked curiously.

According to their understanding, the Infinite Sea is extremely chaotic, and the islands are basically floating at will on the sea, except for the islands of the Signpost Island and the islands of its island chain.

There's simply not much logic to look for.

In such a situation, even if the sea area map is surveyed, it will not be useful at all.

Because it will change.

Only island maps are of little use, and then there are strange maps of island chains.

The island chain map is not so much a map as a data label, with only simple direction guidance and time labeling.

It's a completely different thing from a map.

"The area painted on this is called Zehai." Shadetti said, looking at the map in Arka's hand.

"Zehai?" Arka repeated, frowning in thought.

He seems to have heard the word somewhere.

"Have you heard?"

"Hmm...... I remember. Arka patted his head, remembering where he had heard the term.

"I've heard about this place on the sign at the church's bounty site, and it's a dangerous area.

Cults, all kinds of wanted criminals, murderers, all hiding in this hellish place. ”

At least four or five of those targets on those bounty sheets are in this place.

Xia Daiti also opened her mouth to introduce everyone, her knowledge of this place: "According to the owner who sold the map, this is a swamp-like sea area, which is very dangerous.

But if you often sail around the Twin Island chain, you may encounter it. Because this sea of Zehai will appear in this large area from time to time.

Not only the twin islands, but also the signpost islands such as Norkan Island and Iceberg Island will meet this sea area.

With this kind of words, I recommend that I buy one, in case I am unlucky. ”

"What do you mean?" Simon looked even more confused.

"The signpost islands I just mentioned, they're all located around the Twin Islands. To put it simply, the neighbors around the twin islands.

Although the neighbors are far away from each other. ”

"And although this Zehai is drifting at random, it still seems to have a certain pattern and scope.

It is around these island chains, so ships operating between these signpost islands will be unlucky enough to encounter this area. ”

When they heard this, they roughly understood.

In other words, although this sea area does not belong to the Signpost Island, it will drift at will. But the range of its rafting is at least within a certain area.

Instead of drifting in this boundless, unbounded sea.

Although this area can be described as outrageous, it is even expected to be larger than the entire homeland sea.

But at least for the Infinite Sea, it's an acceptable range.

But it is not an island after all, but a whole very peculiar sea area, and after hundreds of thousands of years, the more people you naturally meet, the more you know about him.

Arka looked at the map of the sea in front of him.

Although the map looks relatively clear, much of the data is very vague, including how big the area is.

But it's a big enough area.

In Arka's eyes, this is not a whole sea area, and it does not belong to the island map or regional map in the sense of Arka's classification.

There are three types of Arka: world map, regional map, and island map.

The area map is the least informative.

Hardly any information is given.

Only points of light will be marked on the islands included in the map.

But in front of Arka, the map is actually divided into three areas.

In other words, the map is essentially similar to a map of the world.

It's just a world map that includes only one area.

These three areas can be simply divided into the upper zone, the left zone and the right zone.

The upper zone accounts for almost half of it.

Arka reached out and tapped on the upper zone.

【Mystery Zone】

[Number of treasures: white - a large amount, blue - a large amount, gold - a small amount, orange - a trace amount.] 】

Regional Difficulty: Crazy

【Area Introduction: None】

The introduction of the long-awaited introduction, this is the state introduction column that Arka has not seen since leaving the homeland sea.

After all, there is no such thing as a world map in the Infinite Sea.

Uncharted? Apparently not because this area is called the Uncharted Sea, but because Arka is completely unaware of the name of this area.

I used to look at the world map of the homeland, and the reason why I didn't have such troubles is because these areas have long been clearly marked on the world map.

What really cares about Alka is the number of treasures marked on it.

In such a large fixed area as the Infinite Sea.

White with blue is a lot of Arka can understand.

But why, even the golden treasures have a small number of such quantities?

A small amount is not as simple as one or two.

According to Arka's previous speculation, there are probably more than three.

Is it starting to appear in a bunch?

And this trace amount is a rating that Arka has never seen before.

Probably means there is one.

But the problem is that it's orange.

A treasure of the [Scepter] level.

This means that Arka has obtained another piece of information related to a scepter-level artifact, although he may not have the strength to obtain it.

But it's better to know than not to know.

In this way, there will be more options.

And then there's the difficulty.

Crazy.

It's an acceptable level of difficulty, which means that it's chaotic and almost orderly.

Not only are there enemies, but even the environment is very dangerous.

This is Alka's understanding.

Because there is also such an area danger in the homeland sea.

Curious, Arka reached out and tapped in the lower right corner.

【Mystery Zone】

[Number of treasures: white - mass, blue - mass, orange - trace. 】

Regional Difficulty: Crazy

【Area Introduction: None】

Alka was sure he wasn't mistaken, and he was sure he wasn't in the wrong area.

But apparently there is still an orange treasure in this place.

Another piece.

Aside from the absence of golden treasures, there is no difference between here and the upper district.

So what the hell is this place? Arka has already seen the location of two orange treasures.

This is all classified as the extent of Zehai.

Reaching out again and tapping at the last area, there must not be another orange treasure in this place.

Arka couldn't help but think.

With another orange treasure popping up, Arka will have to assess whether they have the strength to go to this place.

Because in that case, it is obvious that there must be a big problem with this Zehai.

【Mystery Zone】

[Treasure Quantity: White - Mass, Blue - Small, Gold - Trace, Red - Trace]

Regional Difficulty: Crazy

【Area Introduction: None】

Looking at the introduction of this area, Arka silently put a zipper on his mouth in his heart.

What's that?

Can anyone tell me what the hell this is?

It's true that there is no orange quantity marking.

But the golden mark came out again, and it was a small amount, indicating that there was a golden treasure. This is good.

If that's all there is, Arka will be happy.

But apparently this is not possible, and a completely new color appears on it.

So here's the problem.

What is red?

What would be red?

According to normal logic, there is only one type of treasure that is not colored.

There is no doubt that it is the Crown.

The treasure of the [Crown] level can be determined, and the treasure that can only be touched can be touched by the strength of the sixth stage.

It is the top existence of all treasures.

Becoming a god formula. Only one thing is enough.

For Arka, who can't even master the [Scepter] level now, and is not qualified to obtain it.

He didn't want to hear about the [Crown] level treasure at this time.

This is not the slightest benefit to them, who are just small shrimps now, not at all.

The appearance of two orange pieces in a row had already made him suspicious and wary of this place.

It's good now.

The top treasures have emerged from this place, and Arka has already retreated in his heart.

The strength of their team is only in the third stage.

Alcanu strives to use special means to bring out his strength in the four stages of the dream realm.

But so what?

It's just that he's just stepping into the ranks of the powerhouses of the Boundless Sea.

So what the hell is this place?

"Your expression is wrong, is there something wrong with this place?" Shadetti asked, looking at Arka .

Hearing this, Arka looked up at Jason and Simon next to him.

"Is my expression obvious?"

The two shook their heads in unison.

"No, you don't have any change in expression at all."

"Hmph, it's just that you didn't observe carefully, and you don't know much about Arka."

"The eyes just now were a little solemn."

"Is there one?" Simon and Jason looked at each other, then at Arka.

After looking at it carefully for a long time, he still shook his head.

Jason looked at Xia Daiti with perverted eyes.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Xia Daiti frowned and asked very unpleasantly.

"Nope." Jason waved his hand and silently looked away: "I praise you for your good observation skills." ”

It's better not to mess with it.

Now Xia Daiti, his fists are fast and heavy.

I can't take a punch.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about what you have and don't have."

After saying that, Arka tapped the map in front of him with his hand, frowned, and looked at everyone with a serious expression and said.

"The breath of this treasure is about to overwhelm me."

"Really?" Jason's eyes lit up.

He's so short of money right now, his damn instructor says there's a treasure trove in the mortal world, but he doesn't even know where the hell place is.

Turning his head, he remembered that the world was broken, and the place where he hid had long since turned into slag.

He is now so poor that he is in tears.

Without some more money, the crystal dragon is really going to start hungry.

Then he will have to survive on the help of the other people on the ship.

As a member of the treasure hunting group, he is actually poor and has to rely on others to borrow money, so it would be a shame to say it.

When the time comes, these guys will definitely fall into the ground.

Hurt him well.

No, no, no.

Thinking of this, Jason shook his head frantically, such a future was not the one he wanted.

Facing Jason's question, Arka nodded.

"It's not that easy to look at your expression, is it?" Xia Daiti said.

Arka nodded, his expression still serious: "That's right, except for the breath of the treasure." The danger of that place is chilling, it's dangerous, and it's not necessarily a place where we can set foot at will. ”

When these words came out, everyone was a little entangled.

To tell the truth, they still have a certain positioning for their own strength.

It can only be said that simple self-preservation, it is definitely no problem.

Running away in the presence of Arka is also top-notch.

But no matter how powerful they are, then they will definitely not be able to do it. When they see a slightly more powerful person, they have to think about how to run away.

There was some silence for a while.

Arka knocked on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry about the Nafis family, let's go and collect information about Zehai, all the information." ”

Compared to Zehai's treasures, the treasures of the Nafis family can be completely left behind.

"When the time comes, we'll assess the level of danger there. After all, we don't necessarily get where we want to go.

It floats freely in this vast expanse of water.

We can only wait, and we have plenty of time to prepare. ”

Hearing this, several people nodded.

Then they called the others in and began to take counsel.

This place is definitely going to be.

If you don't go, you have to understand.

But you must not go blindly, you must have enough understanding and look for suitable opportunities.

Once the goal was set, everyone began to act.
