Chapter 316: Open Two Locks
The Power of the Virgin, according to the above, is a pure, highly concentrated Light.
There are many attributes of the Holy Light, and under normal circumstances, the gods who are biased towards the camp of order will almost always carry the power of this attribute.
The Light is just a general term, collectively known as the positive, orderly, highly attributed energy.
Outwardly manifested as a divine light, mostly white or mixed with white energy of other colors.
But depending on the source of power, the attributes in it will also have different directions.
For example, the Holy Mother of Mary, the Holy Light of Our Lady is actually not strong in the attribute of punishment.
Arka didn't know exactly how it was, after all, he had only experienced the power and feelings of the Holy Light.
And these are the results of some books, and Simon saw them from the large library of the Holy Machine Church.
It is only in a church like the Holy Machine Church that is full of scholarly atmosphere, and those believers will do such ungodly things.
At least in Alka's opinion, that's a good thing.
Although Arka has seen it in the Church of Our Lady, most of the research has been on various evil forces.
There are also some examples of other Lights in these books, but without experiencing Arka firsthand, it is difficult to tell the difference.
Since it is called the power of the Holy Mother, it must have the attributes of the Holy Mother.
And in their team, all three Madonna believers who can use the power of the Pure Mother can do it.
The Xia Dynasty prepared the saintess in advance, and the reason why he did not become a saintess in the end was only because he didn't want to, not because the conditions were insufficient.
The belief in the Virgin Mary and the aptitude are in line with it.
Her father, Andrei, is now also a bishop. Although it is in the homeland sea, there may not be much difference in status.
Anyway, Arka had seen Shadetti use a high concentration of holy light. I just don't know what kind of standard is required to achieve the so-called high concentration.
Jason needless to say, the magic power in his own body is biased towards the holy light attribute.
The main question is to see if there has been a slight change since the contract with the Crystal Dragon, at least for now, it seems that there is not much change.
But he may not be able to condense too much Light energy.
As for Arka, he was able to do it purely by virtue of his status as a saint and as an islander of Homeland Island.
However, in order to use it, he has to go through a series of rituals, similar to a more formal prayer.
And you have to put a certain amount of sacrifice.
The sacrifice doesn't have to be bloody, but sincere.
Overall, Arka felt that the use of the power of the Mother was not difficult for them.
But the second item of life and death is difficult.
At first, he thought it would be some kind of power at the junction of life and death, but he could know it by looking at the introduction above.
This power should come from the special constitution possessed by this family, which is the best insurance measure for the treasure house.
It may be possible to restore this power through other channels, but Alka believes that it will certainly not be easy.
You know, it's a big family.
It's not that easy.
It's a little harder.
The third item is a key made of jaw steel.
The sum of the three items seems simple and does not seem to be rigorous enough, but it is very reasonable to study it in detail.
Because the family believes in Our Lady, it seems that they can use a high concentration of Holy Light energy of Our Lady.
This is already a threshold.
Because there's a standard for that.
In a world where there are truly gods, those who believe in Our Lady can use a high concentration of Our Lady's light energy must be believers in Our Lady.
It has to be a believer in the idea of Our Lady.
It is doomed that the person who uses it will not be from the evil camp.
At the very least, they all have to be neutral and order-oriented.
It is not reasonable to let such a person steal, or even rob and open the treasure house.
And the second hurdle is the most important.
You have to use the special constitution of the family, and use the power of life and death in the so-called constitution to be able to open it.
The most reasonable and safe thing.
The third is a physical item.
A key made of jaw steel, a physical object that may represent the rights of the patriarch of the family.
Families generally like to do this kind of thing.
Examining these conditions, Arka groaned.
So far, they have only met the first condition, which is still the easiest condition.
Come to think of it.
Arka put the map away and turned to look at Simon.
"Simon, have you ever heard of a material called Jaw?" ”
The one in their team who knows the most about ore must be Simon.
As a mechanic, if he wanted to construct a wide variety of machines, he had to know almost all the minerals and their structures.
Hearing Alka's question, Simon turned his head to look at him, then thought about it with a frown.
"I've heard it, not just listened, I still have it."
"You have?" Arka's eyes lit up.
Simon nodded, raised his palm, and a container made of clear glass appeared in his hand.
The container was the width and length of the index finger, and in the cylindrical container floated an irregular ore, about the size of a fingernail of a little finger.
The ore is silvery-gray in color, and is lined with sharp teeth-like marks.
In sunlight it is a matte color, without a trace of metallic color showing it.
Even though its exterior is a reflective silver-gray color.
"This is Jaw, a very precious steel material. This is something I got in the Holy Machine Church some time ago, and it cost a lot of money.
It is said that this material is not native to the Boundless Sea, but a special material brought by outsiders in the starry sky, and the special steel floating in the starry sky is very rare. ”
Hearing Simon's story, Arka was able to understand its preciousness.
Obviously, this is a very good material.
But Simon's obsession with machinery and various minerals only bought a small piece as a display collection.
That's enough to show how valuable and rare this thing is.
You must know that Simon's wealth consumption rate is almost no different from Jason's.
If it weren't for Alka's shared dreams to ease his experiments, Simon might have been the first of them to declare bankruptcy and start borrowing money.
If you've been to Simon's room on the ship and his exclusive location in the manufacturing hall, you'll know what he's spending his money on.
Some things are not necessarily practical, but more collectible.
Simon also has a lot of collectors.
Most of them are related to ancient machinery and ore minerals.
Spend a lot of money, and he is willing to even be slaughtered.
Arka reached out and took it.
"Be careful."
Listening to Simon's instructions, Arka nodded, lifted it slightly, and looked at it carefully.
I touched the container made of clear glass on the outside.
Turtles, turtles, and even containers are magical items made of spell materials.
It's a container that even Marthasa doesn't want to buy, and it usually only contains very valuable liquids.
It's about 40 gold sails, a small container.
It is constructed with a variety of protective spells such as sealing demons, taking into account, and keeping secrets.
Even with a time slowdown.
It's definitely a luxury.
I'm really willing to do it.
Although Arka complained, he still looked at the minerals seriously.
It's good now.
You may have a lower chance of owning a key.
But I couldn't help but ask, "How much is such a little bit worth?" ”
Hearing Arka ask for the price, Simon was clearly interested. Gently holding the transparent glass tube container from Alka's hand, he said a little ostentatiously.
"For this point, 120 gold sails, and there is no market."
Hearing the price, Arka silently closed his mouth.
My mind began to remember the size of the hole in the key.
Rough estimates, the size of the fingernail is 70~100 times the size of the mineral.
Hiss~
Can't think about it.
Arka silently threw the thought out of his head.
"Alas!"
With a heavy sigh, he leaned back on the edge of the Swift.
"What's the matter, the conditions for opening the door have something to do with this mineral?" Xia Dai next to him asked.
Arka nodded.
"You've just seen the keyhole in the middle of the door, and you need a key made of jaw steel to open it."
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, all the people who had seen the keyhole gasped.
They've just heard the price of this thing.
Make such a large key out of such ore.
I couldn't imagine how expensive it was, and they were all a little frightened.
It's worth half the treasure money.
They have a lot of treasures, but you can't let them sell them.
"Or ...... Shall we give up? Jason suggested next to him.
Although he is the most money-hungry in the team right now, he has not lost his mind.
Although the treasure in the treasury is expected to be large, the price paid in the early stage is not enough for them to pay.
Not to mention that there aren't necessarily that many, and there's no guarantee that someone will get ahead of them.
For example, a member of the family who has been excluded from the family has much more advantages than them, and it is more likely that they have already opened the treasure trove and swept away the property inside.
Not to mention that decades have passed.
These people are not immortals, and they don't have much concept of time.
"Need a key made of Esteel?" Simon asked, frowning and puzzled.
Arka nodded.
"Is that exactly what kind of structure is needed for Esteel? What is the material of Jaw steel? Or is it the metal surface of Jaw steel? Or is it something unique? ”
Hearing Simon's question, Arka shook his head.
He didn't know that.
"Not sure...... Well, it can't be so pessimistic. Simon said as if he had thought of something.
Then he raised his right hand, the treasure's index finger flickering slightly. A key made of metal appeared in his palm.
Then he picked up the container that had just been filled with the crushed ore of Hubei Iron and Steel with his left hand, opened it gently, took out the ore inside, and pinched it between his left index finger and thumb.
With a slight touch of the treasure's index finger, a glimmer of light could be seen resting on the treasure's index finger.
Then a glimmer of light shone on the key made of iron ore.
In an instant, the iron key, which was originally ordinary and black, became exactly the same material as Esteel.
"Can you ...... Can you change the texture of minerals? ”
Arka said in surprise.
If you really do it, you will not be able to make a fortune.
Simon shook his head, "It's not permanent, it's a simulated change that requires a constant supply of mana.
The so-called mechanism to increase its power and various properties is because it can replace their materials with better ones.
Even directly upgrade to a material that you don't know, so that it can exert stronger power and show stronger effects. ”
Simon directly stated the essence of his treasure.
Speaking of which, Alka really hasn't learned about it.
"Then the similarity of this imitation ......"
"Close to 100 percent, but never 100 percent. There will always be some differences, after all, it is just imitation. ”
Hearing Simon's words, Arka nodded, he could understand.
"Try?"
"Try it."
As he spoke, the two of them immediately drilled down from the previous breach again.
Poloro followed.
The rest of the people just stood up and waited.
Soon the three of them came to the gate of the treasure house.
They've just tried it, and if they use a normal iron key, they won't even be able to get into the keyhole.
Two possibilities.
One needs to be unlocked one by one to be able to insert the keyhole at the end.
The second requires the correct key to be able to insert it through the hole.
"I'll try the first lock first and see if I can do it."
Arka said, gently stroking her hand into the outermost groove.
A large amount of holy light began to gather from his hands, pouring into the grooves.
The light flowed along the groove to both sides, and soon connected together.
The light printed, and then dense golden streaks began to spread out along the grooves.
It wasn't until Arka got out of his hands that the light was still there.
However, the streaks of light that spread all over the place stayed outside the second ring.
"Well, it doesn't seem to be a big requirement for a concentrated light."
This means that they already have the conditions for the first lock.
"Now it's my turn."
Simon said as he walked over with a mass of his condensed liquid, and then the treasure's index finger pointed at the keyhole, gently sensing the position of the entire lock.
He'd scanned it before, and now just in case.
Then the liquid metal in his hand began to solidify.
It turned into a strange key, with all kinds of strange bumps in front of it, which looked more like a mechanism item than a key.
Looking at the key in his hand, Simon nodded with satisfaction.
Repeat the previous process again to turn the key into a simulated Jaw steel material.
Gently pushed it into the keyhole.
This time, the push was unusually easy and unhindered, and the entire key was completely pushed into the keyhole.
Then, pale silver-gray energy spread outwards from the keyhole, and the same streaks that were the same as the golden streaks spread out.
"It works, it can be done." Simon said with a smile.
The three of them watched as the stripes spread upward, and this time they also stopped at the second ring.
They already have the keys to the 1st and 3rd locks, and now they are short of the keys to the 2nd lock, which is the hardest to obtain.
According to the treasure information, you have to have the power of life and death, which comes from the special physique of the family.
Arka either finds a way to figure it out and then simulates.
Either that or find the surviving members of the Nafis family.
It's not non-existent, as long as Arka is willing to put in a little time and effort, he will be able to find it.
If he's not out of luck.
According to the information he had previously searched for about the Nafis family, it was known from the archives.
When the members of the Church at that time were looking for the reason for the extinction of the Nafis family, they deliberately sought out many of the main members of the family line who had been eliminated by the Nafas family at that time.
Many family members even have the blood of the main line, which is one of the members of the main line.
I just quit because of various philosophies and different styles of acting.
And the Nafas family was exterminated only a few decades ago.
At that time, the members of the family, let alone having children, may not necessarily die themselves.
Alka will certainly be able to be found in the archives of the Church.
Thinking of this, Arka nodded and returned with the two of them.
He quickly returned to the ship and told everyone what was going on.
"That means that if you want to open the treasure house now, you only need the last lock, and the last lock, you already have a clue."
Listening to Xia Daiti's words, Arka nodded.
"That's right, but we definitely can't get our hands on it now, and we'll have to go back to the Twin Islands to find some information."
Hearing this, Lucilia frowned and said, "That's a big loss, you must know that we spent more than 100 days and nights in order to find Zehai. ”
If you leave now, you could waste a year of going back and forth.
Arka nodded and said, "So, I decided not to go back for this one reason yet.
Let's go straight back to the beach, back to the Dawn Sound, and then go to this location. ”
As he spoke, Arka opened the map and pointed to the area on the other side of the Land of the Spirits, near the edge.
"There must be something more valuable here, otherwise you wouldn't have passed."
Arka smiled and nodded: "The smell of the treasures here is about to stun me." ”
Listening to Arka's joke, everyone smiled and nodded, no objection to this.
If there's one thing they've learned on board, it's not to contradict any of the destinations that Arka has decided.
Even if he doesn't tell you what's there.
You just need to know the past, and then look for it, and there will definitely be a harvest, an infinite number of results that are more than the process.
This time was no exception.
And you can also judge the value of this thing from Arka's description of the taste of the treasure.
According to Alka's joking description just now, it is almost certain that it must be a treasure.
This is already beyond doubt.
Although all of them had already obtained the treasure, there was a world of difference between one treasure and two treasures.
Even if this treasure is not suitable for each of them, then even if it is sold, or even traded for it, it is okay to reach various conditions in exchange.
No one person, no one faction, thinks there are too many treasures.
Treasure is the hardest hard currency in the world, the highest thing that can be eaten anywhere.
