Julia was holding something made of white shells in her hand, the same thing she had obtained from the merfolk earlier.

Arka looked at the shell and could clearly perceive the faint magic emanating from it.

It must have been a spell item, and Julia had never seen it before. Then it is obvious that this thing is a relic of the mermaid, that is, the specific item indicated by the treasure this time.

"So what is this?"

Hearing this, Julia gently opened the shell in front of everyone.

But after seeing the things inside, everyone was slightly regretful.

Inside is a round pearl the size of a thumb.

It is white and milky, and it reflects the luster.

The gloss on the top can even be seen under the reflection.

Let's not talk about what this thing does, just looking at the appearance, it has to be worth a lot of money.

But it seems to be too different from what they guessed from Arka.

"It's a music box. The pearl inside is a natural magical item capable of allowing life that cannot breathe underwater to breathe underwater. ”

Hearing Julia's words, several terrestrial creatures immediately became interested.

Breathing underwater?

"Is it the kind of ability that has a kind of bubble on your head?" Lucilia asked.

She's talking about an effect, and the effect is also to be able to breathe underwater.

However, there is a limit to how long you can breathe, depending on how proficient you are at the spell and how much oxygen is stored in the bubble wrapped around your head.

Essentially a temporary oxygen mask.

This kind of spell is a relatively common spell, but it is not that easy to obtain.

At least Arka they are home to the sea when everyone will.

Julia shook her head: "It's not like this, it's something that makes you breathe like a fish in the sea." ”

With that, Julia handed the pearl to Lucilia.

It was obviously useless to her, she could have breathed freely in the water.

Lucilia looked at the pearl in her hands and sighed helplessly.

"It's a pity, I don't need to breathe at all right now."

Hearing this, Arka silently picked up the pearl and put it in his hand.

As the pearl was held in his hand, he could clearly feel the difference.

A large stream of water poured out from his other hand, enveloping his head with his control.

Alka was spitting bubbles in the water, and he was indeed able to breathe in the water.

This thing is similar to a filtration system made by adding a layer of magic to a normal person's mouth, absorbing the oxygen in the water as they breathe.

In order to achieve the purpose of breathing underwater, it will not change the structure of the normal human body.

And I don't feel the magic of this pearl at all, as long as you hold this pearl, you can breathe freely in the water.

Compared to that spell, the endurance is close to infinity.

In this ocean world, this pearl must be worth a lot of money.

After experiencing it for a while, he threw the pearl to Simon.

This thing is up to Simon to make the right gear.

There was a melodious singing in everyone's ears, which was distinctly different from Julia's, but they could be heard to be in the same vein.

Turn your head to look.

The shell music box in Julia's hand is the source of the sound.

If this voice is not mistaken, it should be the singing of the dead merfolk.

But the song sounds a little weird, not quite like singing.

It's telling something, but it's expressed in the form of singing.

Although it is still somewhat beautiful.

Julia closed her eyes and listened quietly.

Apparently, there seems to be an unknown message coming out of the music box.

The crowd listened to the songs, waiting silently, and they could not tell what the messages were trying to convey.

It didn't take long for Julia to open her eyes.

"The dead merfolk were a master of life."

They still know the title of Master of Life.

It is a church organization that believes in life, a kind of professional title under the seed of life.

It can be simply compared to the saints and saints of the Church of Our Lady.

But there are differences, and the differences are not small.

The Master of Life, more akin to a glorious title, is a celebration of an individual's strength and deeds.

It represents that the person with this title has a high level of achievement in maintaining the environment.

That's why he is called the master of life.

"She was invaded by the forces of death because she wanted to understand the situation at the border between life and death. And this land of living beings is extremely hostile to the members of the seed of life, so he finally died there.

Before she died, she left some messages and left her treasures at the border of life and death. ”

At this point, Julia paused.

looked up at everyone and said, "Her strength ...... There are six phases. ”

"Six stages...... Alka muttered.

How to say it, even in the Boundless Sea, the sixth stage can be called a strong man.

is such a strong man, and he is simply at the junction of life and death.

It seems that there is no seven or eight stages in that place, so you can't rush to explore.

The strong man of the sixth stage of strength had to wait for death in the sea because he was invaded by the force.

It's desperate.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Did she say something about the boundary between life and death?" Like why she was so badly injured and why she left her treasure there. ”

Julia nodded.

She said she had penetrated deep into the core area of the border between life and death, where the monsters were strong. She was seriously injured when only one person was attacked.

When she was about to escape, she already felt that she might not survive, so she left the treasure in the border area where life and death meet.

It is said that it is her treasure, which can leave a fixed point at the junction of life and death, and it is unknown what its specific role is.

It is hoped that the person who found her body will be able to bring her body back to ...... Seed of Life. ”

Hearing Julia's last words, everyone fell silent.

Julia can now be said to be an apostate.

What is the difference between you sending an apostate to the church of the Seed of Life and killing yourself?

"I'll leave it to you then."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Alright, we've got the next place to go."

Arka said as he re-piloted the Swift and led the group to the place where the treasure trove was.

That's the focus of their trip.

The real need is a treasure that they are worth caring about and dedicating time and effort to.

Fortunately, the place where the treasure house was located was not very far from them, and it took about an hour to drive until they reached the location of the point of light.

Again, there is no end to it, except for a grove of trees in the distance.

It seems that the woods in the distance may be a reference for this treasure trove.

Of course, it's just a simple conjecture.

But where they were, at least 1 kilometer or so from the woods in the distance.

"That's it?" Bororo asked.

Arka nodded, jumped straight out of the boat, and stepped into the water.

Then he stepped on the vine layer below with his foot.

"It should be down here."

"Then I'll go down and have a look." Poloro said as he found a weak point, tore open a hole and drilled straight down.

Start looking down there for something more suspicious, possibly a treasure trove. Generally speaking, treasure troves are large and not easy to hide.

Not everywhere is like Vastva.

It wasn't long before he was back in the middle.

"It's so hidden." Bororo sighed and crawled out.

Apparently he had found it.

Hearing this, Arka asked, "Have you found the place where the treasure trove is?" ”

Poloro nodded: "The area where the vines in this area sink to the bottom of the sea is very deep, dozens of meters.

The treasure trove is hidden in this area, wrapped in vines, very hidden. ”

To put it simply, if it weren't for Poloro's knowledge that this area contained a so-called treasure trove, he wouldn't have discovered it at all.

Even if he might be coming and going in the area, he might not notice.

Hearing this, Arka thought for a moment.

Then he said: "Juanlu, Jason, Urullius." The three of you plus the puppet legion stay on top, and the rest go down with me. ”

After assigning the teams, everyone nodded.

Each prepared the means to breathe underwater, and together they drilled down from the hole they had just made.

Jason, on the other hand, was on guard in case someone sneaked up or set up an ambush.

Although it is highly unlikely, the necessary vigilance must not be lacking.

As soon as he went deep into the water, Arka couldn't help but shiver, it was really cold down there.

The cold chill is not like normal sea water.

And it was pitch black, and the vines that drooped down were densely swaying with the current.

The sunlight in the sky was shining through the sea, piercing through the cracks in the vines. Tiny pillars of light were sent down.

These pillars of light don't add much color to the area.

Seriously.

It can be used to make horror movies here, and the environment alone is not permeable.

Bororo swam ahead and shook at the crowd.

And immediately they went up after him.

Straight into the vines.

The vines were unusually tangled, some with spikes on them.

Swing from side to side with the flow of the sea, and even want to tie them up.

The crowd followed Poloro for a long time before they finally saw Pololo stop.

But where he parked didn't look any different from his surroundings.

It's all a myriad of falling vines.

He stretched out his hand and lifted the vines in front of him, revealing a gate that looked like a stone.

"This should be the entrance to the treasure house, and there are walls around it."

The crowd swam up and looked at the pattern on the circular gate.

It was some kind of peculiar stone, with a round gate with two circles and a keyhole in the middle.

The crowd began to gather around the entire treasury, examining each of them.

Simon pulled out a modified patrol plane that could swim around in the water, and the two patrol planes began to scan the entire perimeter of the treasure trove.

Xia Daiti tried to penetrate the material of this treasure trove with silver ripples, to understand its structure and what was going on inside.

Lucilia began to check the patterns around the vault and if there would be writing on it.

Everyone started doing their job.

Arka stood in front of the gate.

Those two circular grooves will definitely not be useless, and the keyhole in the middle should be the last key of the three conditions.

That is, the treasure trove is a total of triple certifications.

Or three "locks".

Arka reached out and touched the circular groove on the top layer, studying it carefully.

Finally, I sniffed it gently.

"The smell of holy light."

Saying that, Arka couldn't help but nodded, that is to say, the power required for the smaller circle of grooves is the so-called power of life and death.

It should be turned on in order.

Basically, the outermost groove can be determined, and what is needed should be some kind of holy light, or only a high concentration of holy light is needed.

Then the problem is the key and the power, where to get the key and how to get the power of life and death.

Thinking of this, Arka reached out and knocked on the circular door in front of him, as well as the stone of the entire treasure house.

He could feel that this treasure trove was not as simple as he appeared on the outside.

After all, it looks like it can be broken violently.

But Arka could clearly feel that this treasure trove was very strong. As a treasure trove of powerful families, without the protection of spells, Arka is unbelievable.

If you want to open up from the outside, it is likely that the gains outweigh the losses.

It would be uncomfortable to go to great lengths to open it from the outside, but then destroy the treasure inside and make it self-destruct.

It is normal for this treasure trove to self-destruct when violently damaged.

Arka didn't dare to bet on whether he had such a feature.

At this time, Matresa swam over and reached out and tapped Alka.

"There are two bodies on it."

Hearing this, Arka immediately followed Martlisha upstream.

The entire treasure house is actually densely entangled by falling vines, which is equivalent to hanging under the vine layer.

And above the treasure house, Mattresa pushed aside the dense stretch of straight vines.

Two bodies were exposed inside.

Judging by the extent of the decomposition of the two bodies, they have been dead for a long time.

There was no flesh and blood left on his body, only the bones that had been corroded by being soaked in the sea for a long time.

There are also some sea creatures attached to the bones.

There are still some decorations and clothes left on his body.

Arka approached the two skeletons and examined them carefully.

"These two corpses, the strength of the body before death should be consummated in the third stage."

Hearing Matlisha's words, Arka nodded.

From the outfits on the bones and the icons on the items, it can be clearly seen that these two corpses should be members of the Nafis family.

They died here at the same time, probably at the same time as the family died together decades ago.

They were supposed to be the guards of this treasure trove.

Arka pulled a spell item from their hands that was about to lose its effect.

There is no blue border on it.

This shows that this thing is actually counted as part of the treasure trove.

However, this thing is really not very useful, and Arka carefully examined it, this thing should be used to transmit information.

So that's why the two people who guard the treasure house are only three-stage strength, because they can send a message at any time and call for support.

After all, it is such an important treasure trove.

Unfortunately, no one will receive information now.

According to the defenses included in this, only two people need to send a message when they encounter danger and the intruder's irreversible enemy, and naturally other family members will come quickly.

After reading this, Arka checked again to make sure there were no items before returning to the gate below with Matrice.

By this time, everyone had already returned from their own inspections.

After making sure that everyone had nothing to check, they returned together.

The people returned to the sea.

Start talking to each other.

"If you want to open the door in a proper way, you need to meet three conditions.

The power of the Holy Light, the power of life and death, the key of Esteel. ”

As soon as they went down, they saw two grooves in the gate and a key opening in the center.

It's easy to understand what these three conditions mean.

Although I don't know how Alka knew it so clearly all of a sudden.

"I can understand the power of the Holy Light, the power of life and death won't let us go to the border of life and death, right?" Simon couldn't help but ask.

Arka shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

He didn't understand what this power of life and death meant.

"Can it be opened violently?" Jason didn't go down and asked next to him.

Simon shook his head.

Then he stretched out his palm, and the lines of magic formed a treasure trove-like structure.

The treasure house is a circular stone building with a circular gate in front of it.

"This treasure trove is forged from a kind of marisco, which is very strong in the ocean.

If it is in the sea water all the time, it will also share the power it has borne to the sea water, making itself stronger to a higher level. ”

To put it simply, it is not impossible to break it violently, but it is extremely difficult.

At this time, Xia Daiti walked over and pointed to the composition of the treasure in his hand and said.

"There is a mezzanine inside, and such a treasure trove cannot be without spells, and the spells are all engraved in the mezzanine."

To put it simply, violence is no play, and it is risky.

But how can these three conditions be met? And it's quite possible that the people who knew how these three conditions were met were all dead. ”

Jason said helplessly.

After all, this kind of secret related to the family's treasury must be known to important family members, but all the family members are dead.

While everyone was communicating, the map that appeared again in his Acre's hand.

He directly clicked on the blue dot representing the treasure trove to see if there was any additional expansion of the newly appeared treasure information.

Generally speaking, they have already arrived at the scene, and the analysis of the scene can obtain some information about the treasure.

[Treasure Information: The treasure trove used by the Nafis family to store the family's treasures, which contains the family's hundred years of accumulation.

With the sudden demise of the family, a huge fortune was left behind.

If you want to get the treasure, you need to open the door to the treasure house.

The light of the Virgin, the power of life and death, the key of Esteel.

Our Lady's Light: The pure power of Our Lady to remove all evil and protect herself.

The power of life and death: The power at the junction of life and death, the special physique of the Nafis family allows it to hover between life and death forever.

The Key of Esteel: A key forged from a precious special steel. 】

Sure enough, there was an expansion.
