At this time in the hall, there was already a circle of members sitting on the edge of the round table in the center.

Among them is Alka.

On either side sat Ricka and a member of the Church of Our Lady whom Arka had never seen or knew.

This is an ordinary-looking ordinary woman, and her entire body is hidden in a relatively sculpted and easy to move robe.

Wearing a hood, only slightly tanned skin is exposed.

She sensed Alka's gaze and turned her head to smile at him and nodded, as if she had said hello.

Except for two church members.

The most surprising thing about Arka at this table were the two merfolk he had met outside.

Gardener Furna looked in the direction of the merfolk and could sense the discord between them.

In other words, there were actually four believers under the gods and three members of the four gods gathered there. and an old god who is about to return to godhood.

After seeing that the personnel were almost complete.

A young man next to Rikai stood up.

An unknown mechanism was dropped in the center of the table.

Then with the click of the mechanical twist, a blue light twisted on it. Then a three-dimensional blue light map is projected, through which the three-dimensional map can help people understand the surrounding terrain very accurately.

By way of this topographic map, Arka has been able to see where the area drawn on the map above is.

The border between the border between life and death and the land of heavy spirits expands to both sides.

It is this long topographic map drawn above.

This direction near the Land of the Spirits stretched to their defensive line.

In other words, this map basically includes the land of the spirits that has been occupied, and then extends out to the area where life and death meet.

"That's where we're able to explore where we can go deeper, and if we go any deeper, we won't be able to accept the loss."

The gardener looked at the map and said, "Can you be sure that their energy source is in the border area?" ”

If they go deeper, then even if they know where the energy source is, they don't have the ability to destroy it.

Hearing this, the young man from the Holy Machine Church nodded.

"These cultists have not reached any agreement with the undead at the junction of life and death. Even if they enter the border of life and death, they will still be attacked by the creatures there.

They must have used some kind of material that could simulate similar objects to trick the undead and extract energy from the border.

In order not to be exposed, I didn't even dare to smoke more. ”

Otherwise, the rear would not be as simple as chaos.

As he spoke, the young man stretched out his finger and circled it, and a few bits of magic fell on the map.

In the area where life and death meet on the map.

Three points of light flashed.

"These three points of light are areas where we have detected where there may be an energy extraction device buried. However, we don't have the ability to stay long, so we are not completely sure.

According to the screening of the linked energy veins, there are probably only two points of light that are correct, and there is one point of light, which is not the energy core. ”

After listening to the young man's explanation.

The unknown mermaid sitting at the end of the table asked, "That is to say, the team that is going to enter the border of life and death and score into three teams?" ”

Ruikai nodded: "That's right, we started with the number of personnel in the three squads to invite the right people. ”

Alka wraps around the members of the table.

The strength of those two mermaids has reached the fifth stage, but the aura does not seem to be stable, and it should have just broken through to this stage.

Rikai is the powerhouse of the five stages, and this unknown woman of the Church of Our Lady should also belong to the five stages.

The gardener is in the six stages.

In addition to the five of them, Jilena also sat next to the gardener. She should be joining the action this time.

There were also some people that Arka didn't know, and all the people sitting at the table had reached the fourth stage.

"And who are you going to let go? This time the operation should be stealthy enough, and it is easy to detect that the strength is too strong. Furna Gardener said.

Arka probably knew what she meant.

Some of the records of the Church of the Holy Machine give a general account of the situation at the junction of life and death.

The stronger the person inside, the more vulnerable it is to the undead and even the entire area.

The stronger it is, the more it attracts the attention of those undead.

Unless strong enough to ignore the dangers of this area.

And it was clear that if the gardeners of Furna were to sit on the front line, it would certainly be impossible to act with them.

Otherwise, if she takes action, there will be no danger in the outside world of life and death.

Rikai said, "By me, and the Silent Virgin of the Virgin, Talune, and the mermaid from the seed of life, Chanarys.

The three of us came to lead the team, three teams. ”

He stretched out his hand and introduced both sides.

After listening to his introduction, Arka took a look at the Silent Virgin of Our Lady.

The Silent Saint is the title of the Tarun, and that's why it was named. It comes from the reason she never speaks.

Arka had heard of her name on the Twin Islands, and was one of the more well-known figures in the area.

As for the merfolk on the other side, Arka had never heard of it.

Because he and he hadn't heard of the Seed of Life in the vicinity of the Twin Islands.

After all, there is already a cathedral of two gods here, and there is no room for more churches of the four gods.

Maybe ask Julia a little more clearly.

After a brief introduction, Rikai said, "We plan to have a team of four people.

One Stage Five, two Stage Four, and one Stage Three member. ”

Does it need to be that complicated?

Arka was a little incomprehensible, he could still imagine the fifth stage plus two fourth stages, why add an additional member of the third stage?

It feels like there's a little bit of a heightened risk.

But when he saw everyone at the table nodding their heads in understanding, he didn't doubt anything anymore.

After all, the person at this table must know more about the situation at the border between life and death than he does.

Then Ruikai looked at Arka, "In addition to you, I hope that there will be three more members of the other three stages in your team." ”

If there are three phases, then the best choice is naturally those members of the team in Arka.

Basically, they are all at the top of the three phases, and each has a treasure in their hands, and they have a lot of experience in team combat.

None of the people at the table objected, but the two mermaids who didn't know about Arka couldn't help but stare at them curiously.

Arka nodded, "No problem." ”

"Who are you going to choose to join the team?" Arka said, looking at them.

'They're all your team-mates and you know you better than we do. And I've heard a little about your team's deeds, and every one of them is trustworthy. So it's up to you. ”

Hearing Rikay's question, Arka couldn't help but smile. Nodding his head, he didn't postpone it.

Then he turned his head to look at the players behind him, and he needed to choose the right person for this operation.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chardetti, Polo, Julia." Just the three of you. ”

In fact, Simon and Jason can also be chosen.

But there were already several members of the Holy Machine Church at the table, and apparently they were also members of the team. The methods of the Holy Machine Church are somewhat similar, so Simon is not much needed, and maybe there will be some conflict between the functions.

As for Jason, the main thing is that if he wants to act, he must bring Urullius.

But if you take Uruliuus, it will have nothing to do with covert operations. This crystal dragon is too conspicuous in battle.

And it is clear that they cannot be considered one in such a situation.

"No problem, right?"

Hearing Arka's words, the three of them shook their heads.

The others had to stay in the fortress and wait for them, helping the fortress to defend together.

"These are specific information about the border between life and death, so take a copy of it."

The young man from the Holy Machine Church said, and a large stack of materials appeared in his hand.

Several portions had been divided and handed to the people on the table.

Arka also took a few copies and handed them to Xia Daiti and the others behind him.

Ruikai clapped his hands at this time and said, "Then that's all for today's meeting, let's start acting early tomorrow morning." When the time comes, meet at the gate. ”

With that, the whole meeting was dissolved, and everyone left.

As soon as Arka and the others left the conference room, they saw the two merfolk walking outside.

The mermaid named Canaris came to Julia, looked at her, and said, "Thank you very much for bringing Master Meeste's body. We're going to have a withering ceremony for her now, so if you don't mind, why don't you come and have a look.

I'm sure the soul of Master Mester will be happy to see you. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Julia, waiting for her answer.

Julia froze slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Great, let's come along, friends."

So saying, he led the people to the rear of the fortress.

Came to a relatively secluded body of water.

Unlike other places, the vines here are slightly thicker and almost float on the water.

The two merfolk stood opposite each other, and the crystal wrapped around the corpse appeared in the air, slowly floating down.

Chanarys muttered a spell, and the crystal gradually turned into a fluid, becoming a crystal.

She turned the crystal and handed it to Julia, who was nearby.

Julia took it back.

The two merfolk continued the ritual.

The vines beneath the corpse began to grow under some kind of control from the two merfolk, and emerald green shoots grew out and began to wrap around the merfolk's body.

In this way, it slowly covers its body, and then some darker shoots in the middle form of some kind of symbol.

It was a symbol like a seed sprouting.

This symbol Alka knows.

It is the symbol of the Seed of Life Church, and it is also the symbol that represents life.

The two merfolk began to pray, similar to the hope of the soul to die. Then the voice became louder and louder, and it changed from chanting to singing.

From the lyrics and tone, everyone can feel that this is some kind of ballad that celebrates life. Julia just froze in place, a little sluggish.

The song seemed to make her fall into some kind of memory.

With the singing, the surroundings are filled with the breath of life, and those vines under the water begin to grow and sprout.

It's a place full of life.

A faint green glow turned into green leaves and branches drooped.

From the empty air.

Fell on top of the corpse.

A soul with closed eyes floated out of the corpse.

She opened her eyes as she floated out of her body, and it was the soul of the corpse.

She looked at Julia next to her.

floated over and hugged her.

"Thank you, dear sister."

Mester was slightly stunned and looked at Julia with a look of pity.

"Firm your will, and the arms of life will always be open for you. You will always be a child from life. ”

As he spoke, he gently hugged Julia again and touched her forehead with his forehead.

The green leaves and branches that floated down the sky slowly drifted towards the sky.

Only then did she turn her gaze to Arka and the others.

"Thank you too, and may your bodies be filled with life."

As the words fell, her soul dissipated, and even the body it landed below disappeared at some point.

All that was left was a large pile of green leaves wrapped in the vines.

A breeze blew, and the green leaves scattered into the sky with the breeze, towards all parts of the swamp.

Look at the green leaves flying in the sky.

The two mermaids, closed their eyes and prayed silently.

At some point, Julia closed her eyes as well.

With the completion of the ceremony, the two sides simply said goodbye and returned to the fortress. Arka, and the others returned to their resting place, and Julia was silent all the way.

Arka and the others didn't comfort her, and now she just needs to be quiet by herself.

Back in the room, Arka spread out the papers.

A map was pulled out of it, and it was the same map that the young man from the Holy Machine Church had just shown in the meeting.

Lay out the map on the table.

Arka blinked.

Just in the meeting, he had already discovered the treasure related to the spring of life that the mermaid's master of life left on the border of life and death.

There are golden dots of light on it.

It's just that at that time, in full view of everyone, he couldn't reach out and click on it, it was too conspicuous.

It wasn't until the information given him included a map that he was relieved.

Otherwise, he'll have to ask for one after he leaves.

Looking at the map, Arka reached out and touched the golden dot of light.

The message is revealed.

Before he could read the message, Julia's hand clicked on the golden light.

Arka looked up at her.

"This is the place where the Master of Life left his treasure.

Her spirit had just told me that the area was not safe.

But she used the artifact to set up a life-related barrier, which made it a small safe area.

It can isolate the undead and any dangerous disasters at the junction of life and death. Once the undead enter the area, they are stripped of their dead nature, leaving only the plants attached to them.

To detach the treasure, one only needs to praise life and then touch the treasure with a living hand to take it away, but the ritual arranged at the moment of taking it will also dissipate. ”

Julia recounted the information she had gained from her recent contact with Master Meester.

After all, information is important to Alka.

And then Arka was like this, looking at the treasure slot that had not yet had time to disappear. That means the last column of the treasure message has changed.

The treasure message was in front of him, and as Julia spoke, more information expanded.

It was the first time he had seen such a situation.

I can't help but feel a little novel.

[Treasure Info: The treasure left here by the Mermaid Life Master.]

The treasure that exudes the breath of pure life isolates the chaotic aura of death and life around it, making it a safe area in the dangerous area of life and death.

To obtain a treasure, it is necessary to be a living being, and while praising life in one's heart, one can touch the place where the treasure is placed, and be able to take it. (Perfect)

Arka looked at the information of the treasure spot, which was no different from what Julia had said.

After confirming the information, Arka nodded.

Look at the three points marked in the area of the boundary between life and death.

This safe zone is located at the corner of the left and center points on the map.

That is, as long as the team selected by Arka is one of the two routes. He will be able to get the treasure in this area when he returns.

The area where the treasure is located is safe, but the difficulty of reaching the area where the treasure is located fluctuates.

This difficulty has been marked very bluntly.

The difficulty of the treasure depends mainly on their luck, whether they will encounter an invincible enemy on the way.

However, in terms of difficulty, it is also certain that only enemies with a maximum of five phases will appear in the border area.

This means that even in the most dangerous situation, Arka has enough strength to escape.

It's no wonder that in the team organized today, there will be people from five stages who will be responsible for leading the team.

In other words, if you go a little deeper, you are likely to encounter the enemies of the sixth stage.

It's a scary place.

Arka looked at the information revealed on this and couldn't help but think.

But now it's a bit tangled.

Arka is struggling, should he take advantage of this operation to get this treasure in his hands?

Whether or not it is the perfect time must be carefully considered.

After all, in this case, they must be acting with others.

Then the treasures obtained need to be distributed with others.

This is the rule of treasure hunting.

Not to mention that the people who act together are all believers of the four gods, and they are on the same side as them.

In fact, after the location has been determined, they can get it themselves later.

When necessary, Arka can also be promoted to the fifth stage in certain situations, showing the same strength.

Has the ability to escape at least in the fifth phase.

You don't have to get it now.

This time, it should be the first to understand the situation.
