Arka ended his meditation in the observation room.

"Sure enough, the efficiency of meditation is no longer as high as before, has it returned to normal?"

Although the efficiency of meditation at this stage is higher than that of the normal three stages, it has generally returned to normal in the four stages.

In the last few spirals before, Arka took him crazy to improve because of the large gap in strength in the dream.

It makes his meditation efficiency very exaggerated, and his strength keeps improving.

With the fifth stage of dreams, the fourth stage of reality has finally reached a certain equilibrium, at least not as fragmented as before.

The efficiency of the natural increase in the strength of the dream realm has also been greatly slowed down.

Although Arka's current strength is still higher than that of ordinary people, at least it is not as exaggerated as before and has become slightly more normal.

“27×3…… To reach stage 5, you have to take 81 spirals. ”

The thought of having to raise 54 spirals in the back made Alka's entire face collapse.

"Oh my God, how long does it take for 54 spirals!"

Thinking of this, Arka lay directly on his back on the floor of the observation room.

Staring at the upward ceiling.

When it comes to this stage, you will find out how exaggerated the total number of ×3 at this stage is, and the exponential increase is really outrageous.

The 4~5 stages are 81 spirals.

The 5~6 stages are 243 spirals.

The 6~7 stage is 729 spirals.

Stage 7~8 is ......

The more I think about Alka, the more hopeless I feel about the future, which really can only be hard-honed by time.

Arka suddenly felt that there were only a few gods who had become gods in the past 10,000 years, and there were not many who were famous, and there were strong reasons related to the improvement of their own strength.

Relying on spirals and stages, gradually improve your strength to reach the limit beyond the life of the race itself.

Such a power set-up is really genius, and the time it takes is a necessary price.

Alka's body is changing in its own strength.

With the current rate of meditation, it will take more than 5 years to reach Stage 5 if every day is full.

"It's difficult, I can only grind it slowly."

With that, Arka stood up and looked outside, looking at the endless pitch black sea.

I don't know how fast a higher-level treasure can bring about a strength increase.

It has to be twice as fast as a Holy Grail Treasure, right?

The thoughts that emanate like this, alert to the situation around them. Until Bororo, who succeeded him, came to take his place.

A hanging basket made of vines appeared next to the observation room.

Arka stood on it, slowly moved by the vines towards the part of the stern.

I went back to my room and began to rest.

Quickly sank into the dream.

Coming to his dream bubble, Arka felt his figure shatter and disappeared directly in place.

Xuan, who was sitting on the back of the phantom, was routinely patrolling the Dream Royal Court.

Suddenly, broken lenses appeared next to them, converging together and condensing into Arka's figure.

"Daddy?"

Hyun jumped directly onto Alka's shoulder, and Arka looked at her and asked, "How is it?" There's nothing wrong with being outside, right? ”

"No, it's just a little boring."

"Well, bear with me."

Arka stood still, looking down.

There was still a fog below, but most of the buildings had some outline.

Look at the exaggerated complex of buildings below.

Arka frowned, somewhat incomprehensible.

"Who is such an exaggerated complex for?"

Although Arka was somewhat incomprehensible to the architectural style of the buildings below, he had seen a similar style in the outside world.

Most of them are various diamond-shaped rings.

The interweaving of buildings of various shapes is combined and mosaic, which is said to be architecture, but it looks more like something artistic.

It's like a strange large-scale carved work of art.

And most of them have the characteristics of clouds, or crystals.

But there are more such things, and it really becomes a special style of architectural area.

Almost the entire underside of the mirror world is covered.

The most numerous of these structures are some kind of building that resembles a spiral, surrounded by a circular aperture.

But too much, too widely. Alka's knowledge blind spot has been completely touched.

As Arka's voice fell, the shadow robe appeared beside Arka.

Answered: "This is the basic architectural standard of the royal court, which cannot be reduced, and in the royal court of the kings, such a standard is already considered small. ”

Hearing this, Arka looked at the area below.

Is this still small?

If he wasn't mistaken, the area of his royal court would be about 2/3 the size of the Twin Islands, and the dense buildings would almost cover 2/3 of the area.

Even if there are two churches and half of the twin islands, there will be no such dense buildings and streets.

And most of the buildings are hollow in the middle, after all, they are meant to be inhabited.

But for dream creatures, these things are not needed at all, and it is a three-dimensional space, and these buildings are still layered on top of each other.

The density is amazing.

Is this still small?

"So what exactly are these buildings for?" Arka asked Shadowrobe.

"It can increase the recovery speed of dream creatures, slowly increase their strength, and even in certain cases, allow them to split themselves."

"Wait...... What does it mean to split oneself? Arka asked, a little confused.

"Hmm......" The words suddenly made the shadow robe a little stuck, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

He had to use a meaning that Arka could accurately understand.

"Breeding?"

"Got it, you move on." Arka immediately stopped the conversation and asked him to continue.

"When the world is broken and the will sleeps, there are no new compatriots, and the losses of the outside world also affect us.

Our numbers are also inevitably decreasing, and it is difficult to repair the outside world with the current number of dream creatures. ”

With that said, Shadow Robe thought about it and was ready to say what he had to say at once.

"It's not that easy to really fix the world, and the world is stuck in a kind of dead loop.

The way to fix the world quickly and stably is to have misty creatures spread all over the dream, but it's obviously impossible.

Mist creatures can now only congregate in dreams in populated areas, and even then there are not enough of them.

And if you want to make more misty creatures, one is to revive the world, but that will make her fall into inescapable pain.

The second is that there are more lives in the outside world, and the chaos is reduced and becomes stable. ”

If you want more life from the outside, less chaos, and more stable, you need more misty creatures.

More misty creatures need more life outside, less chaos, and more solid.

However, now it has fallen into a dead loop, and no matter how you try to do it, you can only maintain the status quo, and even get worse and worse.

"So these buildings?"

"Yes, that's right, tens of thousands of years ago, the kings of the dream realm set such a standard.

While the chance of spawning the same type is small, it is not zero, and these buildings are equally capable of restoring the environment. ”

With that, Arka understands perfectly.

The so-called royal court is equivalent to the largest restoration group in the world.

At least for Arka, who is almost entirely a fog-like creature in the royal court, their royal court is like this.

This is in line with Alka's goal.

After listening, Arka nodded, and did not ask too much.

He even began to look more closely at the construction process of these fog-like creatures, and carefully understood the reasons why these structures and themselves affected the world.

He needed to know the details, and he knew better. In order to truly make efforts to repair the world when the strength is strong in the future.

……

They spent more than 100 days and nights at sea in order to find Zehai.

But when they left Zehai and headed straight for the Twin Islands, it took less than 20 days and nights.

Because at that time, Zehai seemed to have just floated to a place not far from the twin island chains.

It's also a kind of luck.

"It's finally here." Jason looked at the large island in the distance.

And this time the ships that came and went around, breathed a sigh of relief.

They circled the edge of the island and entered the central harbor from the entrance.

Officially back on the Twin Islands.

It's the same as when they left, and there's nothing peculiar.

Dock the boat.

A priest dressed in the robes of the Church of Our Lady, with several soldiers, looked at Arka and their ship. and the inevitably eye-catching treasure tree on their ship.

Arka: They couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the treasure tree.

It's too conspicuous, but it can't be covered at all.

In such a crowded port, sometimes I have to sigh, which can be regarded as the first small trouble caused by the change of ships.

The priest looked at the stern like the iconic bird's head.

Apparently he recognized whose ship it was.

"Lord Arka, can you cover that tree on your ship?" The priest asked aloud.

Hearing the words below, Arka shook his head helplessly.

This tree is still in the growth stage, and it is obviously not possible to shade it for a long time.

"And how long are you going to stay here?"

"At least for a week."

Hearing Arka's answer, the priest nodded.

Then two streams of underwater magic poured out, lifting the sound of dawn and falling onto the slide in front of it.

With the operation of the slide, the sailboat entered an open-air warehouse.

Only then did the group leave the ship and step off the deck.

The open-air warehouse was equivalent to a four-sided fence that blocked the perimeter of the ship, and only the tallest mast was visible from above.

Compared with other protective properties, the main thing is to let people outside not see the treasure tree, so as not to be unable to suppress the greed in their hearts.

After thanking the pastor.

Simon said, "Then I'll go to the church first, and go collect the materials you want, as well as the information about those incantation rituals." ”

The rest nodded, and watched Simon take the ferry boat in the middle to the other side.

I came to a hotel not far away and rented a few rooms in the townhouse.

After returning to the room.

Arka said to everyone: "It's rare to come here, if you want to buy anything now."

Okay, disband, let's go their own way. ”

You must know that although they did not get the most valuable treasure of the Nafis family in Zehai this time.

But in the Land of Fragrance, he helps the church fulfill various commissions, helping them find and arrest the cultists.

As a result, almost every one of them had at least a thousand golden sails on them.

That's already a huge amount of money.

Except, of course, Jason.

Because he still owes the people a few hundred gold sails, he may only become rich when they take the treasure of the House of Nafis .

As soon as he thought of this, Jason looked at Poloro.

"I'm going to have a drink while Urullius isn't here, you know."

Poloro shook his head impatiently and followed Jason out.

Not because he had to drink too, but because he had the money, and Jason didn't.

Soon there was only Arka alone in the room, as well as several sleeping puppet girls.

The rest have all left.

Rested in the room for a while.

Arka left the room and walked towards the church.

When I came to the gate of the church, I went around directly. Enter through the side door next to it.

The knights on guard and the priests around them nodded at him without any hindrance when they saw that it was Arka.

When Alkacha had information before, he was already familiar with them.

After all, the island is not big or small, and the number of church members is limited as a whole.

If you stay for a while, you'll basically get acquainted.

Wander around the huge church hall to the library on the edge.

"Alka? It's been a long time, hasn't it been a year? The ship you docked at sea is conspicuous. A middle-aged man with glasses sat at the counter and looked at Arka and said with a smile.

"Did the news spread so quickly?" Arka asked, a little confused.

He had just landed, so he was looking for a hotel to rest for a while and delayed for some time. The news has already reached here.

"Haha, friend, your ship's treasure tree is too conspicuous. The Marlowe knight also complained that he had to send some extra troops to help you defend it. He lifted his glasses and smiled.

Arka shrugged helplessly.

"Thank you to Knight Marlowe for help, Our Lady will bless a steady man like him."

He nodded: "What do you have to ask this time?" ”

After all, Arka is here, and he doesn't really want to read books.

"I wonder if there's a spell about the stars, the starry sky, or anything like that, or a ritual."

Hearing Arka's words, he frowned.

"Is it related to the stars and the starry sky......

He frowned and thought about it, then flipped through the thick catalog in his hand.

"Yes, there is, but there are not many records here, and there may not be what you want. And there is a lot of duplication.

If you want more, I suggest you check out the big library next door. They love to collect this strange information, and even if they don't, they will have a lot of clues and insights. ”

The next door he was talking about was naturally the Holy Machine Church.

Arka nodded: "Thanks, then I'll go first." ”

"Go inside, go inside the 4th row, the 13th bookcase to the right, most of it is there."

Arka followed the guidance he had just made to the tall bookcase.

"Broken Star", "Changing Star", "The Density of the Night Sky", "The Change of Countless Stars", "Starry Sky Demon", "Otherworldly Star Annihilation", ......

Countless books related to the starry night sky are scattered here.

Alka picked up a random copy and began to flip through it.

Most of the records here are the changes in the starry sky after the shattering of the world and the absence of barriers.

Arka is only now discovering that he knows much more about the astral realm than he thought.

"The Machirak mercenary group, the fourth star from the dense south, due north to the south."

A mercenary group from another world?

I still don't know much about it.

In addition to these, there are also various gods that used to be named after stars as part of their duties.

Arka saw the familiar name here.

Hochalmera.

Arka began to look at his message from the perspective of a bystander.

Well, there's not a lot of information here, probably just a mention.

The information they had previously obtained in the Land of Fragrance came from the Holy Scriptures, which had a very serious beautifying effect.

Active during the Divine War, an important priest under the command of the Flower Fairy.

It is said that he was given divinity from the stars by the flower fairy.

Outsiders gave her a title.

The Flower of the Stars.

All kinds of starry sky information Arka flipped through.

I finally saw a ritual similar to that associated with the stars.

Moreover, this ritual was excavated from a certain ruin, which is an archaeological discovery of an ancient starry sky god.

Alka, who had finally made a discovery, cheered up a little and began to look at it more seriously.

There are spells about the stars, and Arka has finally seen a few.

The brightness of [Starlight] is not very high, but it is extremely penetrating.

It can be seen in the night sky even from a great distance, and is usually used for signal transmission or on top of a lighthouse.

[Star Divination] is the core mantra of the most applicable star divination, which is extremely accurate in divining the fate of mortals.

Once the toucher is involved, the accuracy rate is only about 10%~15%, and the error message will be often given, and it will be expressed in a strange way.

Use with caution.

It is also written below that this incantation cannot be transmitted to any of the four god seas.

Because there is still a mortal world, only the four gods are left.

In the Infinite Sea, ordinary mortals are almost extinct.

Most people have at least magic in their bodies, but only somewhat.

With this in mind, Arka put the book back.

Look out the window next to you into the daylight.

Daylight shines through the window, shining through, and an hourglass appears in Arka's hand.

Nineteen hours had passed since the day, and it was not long before night.

Arka said goodbye to his acquaintances at the library and headed back to the hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, only Shadetti and Lucilia were chatting in the hotel, and seemed to be designing some clothes.

None of the others were there.

The two saw Arka return.

"How? Is there a catch today? ”

"Yes, I didn't gain much, but there are more contents in the library of the Holy Machine Church, so now I can only wait to see Simon's harvest."

Hearing Arka's words, the two of them nodded.

"I'm back, come and help us refer to the design of these clothes."

"Okay, I'll take a look."

With that, Arka walked over and looked at the blueprints of the two.
