Arka looked at the archbishop.

He said slowly, "I need a treasure that represents a good harvest or can represent autumn." ”

Hearing this, the archbishop glanced at him, and then suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that your treasure hunt has encountered a high-level and powerful protective ritual. A treasure that symbolizes autumn? ”

He had probably guessed it.

Then he began to think about it, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Arka and said, "I can't say that you are lucky, or that you are unlucky."

There is indeed one person in the church on the Twin Islands who has such a treasure. But he is now out on a mission, and it will take at least half a year at most to return, and I can only guarantee you that he will be back within a year. ”

"Half a year to a year? It's also too long to wait. Arka said with a frown.

Although for the sake of an orange artifact, the wait was clearly worth it.

Hearing this, the archbishop smiled, glanced at Arka and said, "That's why I said you're lucky." ”

As he spoke, he ordered the book on the table.

"For the sake of your precious gift, I can help you get a treasure that also symbolizes a good harvest."

Hearing this, Arka immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, and thanked him: "Then it's time to bother the archbishop." ”

"No trouble, but I must explain beforehand that this treasure does not belong to the Church, nor does it belong to me, but to a friend of mine."

Saying that, frowning, he said to him seriously, "So it can't be handed over to you so easily, even if I borrow it from him, it will have to pay the conditions that he is willing to hand over to me with confidence." ”

Arka nodded, it was, after all, it was the archbishop who borrowed it. Then he must be taking a very huge risk in this, after all, it is a treasure.

Even if the archbishop vouched for himself, it was impossible for him to hand over the treasure for no reason, not to mention that the treasure might still be used.

No matter who it is, it can be said that it is a huge waste to have a treasure empty and not let people control it.

Alka could understand, looked at the archbishop and said, "As long as I can give, I can do it." ”

The archbishop nodded and said, "First of all, this treasure must not be controlled by anyone, and when the time comes, a strong sense of protection will be carried out on it."

If you want to dissolve the ritual and need to master the treasure before using it, then the price to pay is great. ”

Arka nodded when he heard this: "No problem, it's acceptable." ”

"yes, that's good."

"Secondly, as collateral, you need to pay an equal treasure, and of course I will also attach a strong protective ritual to the treasure you give.

When you return the treasure, it will be returned to you. ”

"It's okay with these two conditions, right?" The archbishop asked, looking at Alka.

The most troublesome thing is to give a treasure as collateral.

Arka nodded, "Acceptable." ”

"That's good, then I'll need a month, when I'm ready. I will inform you that within a month you will also have to prepare the treasure for collateral. ”

"No problem, thank you again for your help. Then I'll take my leave. Arka said with a slight bend.

The archbishop nodded and sent Arka out of the room.

Alka, who walked out of the room, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not bad to be able to exchange an ordinary book that doesn't mean much to him for such help.

At least in the church of the Twin Isles, there are such treasures.

Arka's biggest fear before was that there was no such treasure, and it might be found in other churches. That takes more time and is harder to come by.

When I walked down the spiral ladder, I happened to see Marlowe communicating with his teammates.

After a brief hello, Arka walked out through the main entrance.

When I came out, I happened to be in the prayer hall at the main entrance, and I saw the Holy Maiden of the Light Blade who was in the archbishop's room before.

She was not alone, she was followed by a team of at least six paladins, praying together.

According to the armor and insignia worn by these squads, they are also knights of the Church.

Arka narrowed his eyes slightly.

This entire squad is actually all Wheat Ear Knights, and their strength has almost reached the top of the fourth stage.

But Arka didn't feel the light of the treasure on their bodies. It seems that for these behemoths, the apex of the third stage is also able to break through without relying on treasures.

By the way, Arka actually saw three points of light with two gold and one orange on the saint's body, and his strength reached the sixth stage.

A real powerhouse.

Suddenly feeling something, Arka immediately blinked and left as if nothing had happened.

And the holy woman, who had just seemed to be praying, raised her head and looked around. As if he was observing something, he saw Arka who had already walked to the door and was about to leave the church.

She remembered the man.

Her eyes were covered with metal blindfolds, and her eyes could not be seen. But she could feel that she seemed to be looking at Alka.

"Delusion?"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" A knight behind him asked.

"It's okay, just keep praying."

Soon Arka came to the harbor and returned to the deck.

I sensed it when I got on the boat, and except for the puppet girl, there was only Polo left on the boat.

At this time, Bororo was sitting cross-legged in the bow of the boat, and his whole body was covered with electric light.

Raven, whose shoulders spread across his entire back, shimmered with a blue-gray glow.

Seeing this situation, Arka did not bother and sat down on the edge of the flower bed in the center.

I don't know where the crystal dragon went, such a large size, if it flies around, it is a little too eye-catching.

Soon Bororo got out of that state and came from the bow of the ship to Alka and sat down.

"Was you just praying?" Arka asked curiously.

After all, to be honest, although Poloro believes in the depth of the sea, even the Storm Champion of the Sea God. But Arka almost never saw Bororo praying any kind of religious prayer.

The only thing he could associate with religion was the rituals he had performed.

That is, the trial of the storm.

But since becoming the Champion of the Storm, Bororo has not even been spared such trials.

So it's hard for you to believe that he actually believes in the god of the sea.

Poloro nodded: "It needs a trial, it needs a real bloody battle. ”

"What is a trial?"

"Bloody battles! Dangerous and powerful! ”

Arka nodded, if he insisted on saying it, in fact, the time they were dragged into a dream to face the Devouring Mouth before could definitely be regarded as a trial.

It's just that that time was a bit of a coincidence, so it was easily solved by Alka.

"Don't worry, there is no shortage of trials and bloody battles on the sea."

Bororo nodded, he thought the same, and was not in a hurry at all.

The so-called trial is not a hard requirement, it is just an act of obtaining further blessings from the god of the sea.

"What about the others?"

"They all went to the island and said they wanted to buy something."

"You're not going?"

"What am I going to do? I don't need to buy anything, and gold doesn't do much for me. ”

Poloro waved his hand and said indifferently.

Indeed, Bororo was probably the only one in their treasure hunt who was not very interested in worldly treasures.

"How often do we go? Or do you want to stay here for a while? Bororo asked.

"We need to stay here for about a month before leaving, and the treasure that symbolizes autumn will take some time to prepare."

Hearing Alka's words, Bororo nodded.

A quiet night is coming, although the sky is still bright, no different from the time of day. But Xia Daiti and they have begun to come back one after another.

At the same time, behind Xia Daiti was a middle-aged man wearing a more luxurious robe.

There is a badge on his chest, and through the pattern of the badge, Arka has a slight memory. I think I've seen it in a large shop on the street.

When they boarded their deck in Arka, they saw at a glance the large trees that had been removed from concealment.

Look at the sparkling gems hanging on it.

"It turns out that this beautiful treasure ship belongs to you, what a nice ship." The merchant said with a smile.

Arka looked at it, he should have been the Chamber of Commerce personnel called by Xia Daiti to assess the treasures that needed to be dumped.

"So, where is the treasure that your group needs to sell?" Hearing this, Shadetti looked at Arka.

Arka nodded and tapped lightly on the flower stand next to him.

A vine suddenly protruded from the leading position to the deck below, and a large cloth bag filled with it was dragged up.

As the vines departed, the cloth belt loosened, revealing all kinds of luxurious items inside.

"It's obviously too rough to store it."

The merchant hurriedly walked over and said, slightly mindful of the way the Arka were too rude to store it.

Arka looked at him and didn't answer.

"These are the treasures we want to sell, and I hope you can evaluate a reasonable price," said Shadetti. ”

"Of course, we are a compliant trade association certified by the Church of Our Lady, and we are also one of the largest chambers of commerce in the twin islands.

I already know a little bit about your deeds, don't worry, I will definitely give a very reasonable price. ”

Although Arka and the others were not overly ostentatious, the treasure ship they did not cover when they returned to the Twin Islands last time attracted enough attention.

Not to mention the crystal dragons on their ship.

You can't expect the crystal dragon to stay on deck for a long time, it would be nothing short of torture for her.

Together, these two items are enough to make the surrounding crowd notice Alka's presence.

Curiosity will naturally lead to a slight investigation.

Not to mention this kind of chamber of commerce that needs to be well-informed, and even what they have done in the land of all spirits has already been reported.

After all, for a long time before, Arka had seen supply ships pull some cargo to the fortress from time to time to provide supplies.

Arka squinted slightly, he was spying on some of the merchant's emotions.

When he first saw these treasures, he obviously had an unreasonable surprise in his heart.

He was slightly surprised when he saw the number of treasures, and his surprise was magnified when he carefully picked up the treasures and began to identify them.

Apparently unlikely to be because of the value.

Arka was more inclined to believe that he might have discovered that the treasure might come from the treasury of the House of Nafass.

After all, it was a powerful family, and the secrets of the treasure had been passed down on the island.

Since the merchant is the strongest chamber of commerce in the Twin Islands, he must have an understanding of the Nafis family.

As long as you think about Arka's itinerary a little, you can easily figure out that Arka is the team that obtains the treasure.

Soon the three men had identified the treasures.

"These treasures are precious and well preserved. But the time you asked for was too short, so we could only eat the price ourselves, and we could only give about 50,000 gold sails. ”

"We'll stay here for a month, there's no hurry." Arka said suddenly.

Hearing this, Xia Daiti turned his head and looked at the merchant again.

Start talking to him.

In the end, after negotiation, the price was set at about 61,000 gold sails.

The payment will be delivered to them in batches within a month.

It was about 10,000 more than Xia Daiti initially expected.

The merchant gently collected the treasure into his pocket ring.

Then he took out a card and handed it to Alka, who was sitting next to the flower bed.

"The VIP card of the Chamber of Commerce, our Chamber of Commerce has chapters on more than half of the Signpost Islands in the Infinite Sea. With this card, we will provide you with sufficient detailed services. ”

"Thank you again for choosing our Chamber of Commerce and looking forward to our next deal."

After saying that, he politely left the ship.

Arka looked at the card in his hand, and the whole thing was made of metal of some kind of spell material.

A sturdy and recognizable spell effect is added to it.

A melee diamond is dotted in the center, with the name of the Chamber of Commerce next to it.

Salmet Gold Chest.

After a brief glance, Arka tossed the card into his pocket ring.

"So this time we're going to stay here for a month?" Natsuyo asked.

Arka nodded, "That's right. ”

Then he looked at the people who had come back one after another, and told them some of the previous exchanges with the archbishop.

"So we have to put up a treasure as collateral?"

Jason said, his first thought was the treasure he had sold to Narvi.

That treasure happened to be unsuitable for the people on their ship, and now they suddenly felt a little pity.

But Arka prefers to use his own treasure as collateral, as the aura that remains on it is the best protection.

"By the way, did you buy what you bought?" Arka suddenly looked at Natsudai and asked.

Xia Daiti nodded.

Then Simon, who was not far away, dragged out two boxes.

Of course, both boxes were empty.

"Storage treasure chest, the area inside is 10×10×10." Of course, the unit is meters.

As he spoke, Xia Daiti dragged one of the boxes over, and then opened it to see that the inside of the box was gray and looked pitch black. Even now it's still daylight.

Shadetti showed Arka how to use it.

Through some kind of secret spell, followed by magic attached to the hand. Put your hand in the chest so you can store it in or take it out.

Although it was a bit of a hassle, the area inside was large enough.

"What can be put in can't be more than twice the size of the opening, otherwise it won't fit in."

Storage chests like these have a constriction enchantment, which allows you to temporarily shrink some items and store them in.

But such spells are always somewhat limited, and you can't expect them to shrink things indefinitely.

"How much did it take?" Alka was a little curious about the cost of such a large storage box.

After all, the size of all space equipment is growing exponentially.

And like the kind of ring they wear on their hands, there's a limit to what they can use.

If you want to have a large storage area, you have to make something like a pocket box.

The limit of the ring is 3×3×3, and such a price is ridiculously expensive, much more expensive than a 10×10×10 case.

Because compared to rings, whether it is a pocket or a box, it is much more troublesome. In battle, you can't expect chests to give you much of an advantage.

The pockets are pretty much the same.

So you can get an idea of the price of storage items.

In addition to the size of the equipment, the style of the equipment also influences.

This kind of space equipment that can be used at will in the jewelry category is the most expensive, and there is a size limit.

The second is the pocket belt, which allows you to open your mouth to poke in and pick up things.

Finally, there's the box and the like.

It is even possible to expand the space through architecture, which is too advanced usage.

At least they had seen it in Vasteva's records. In the current broken world, there is no corresponding use of technology for the time being.

"It cost 6700 gold sails." Hearing this price, both Arka couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, it is indeed an expensive price.

It's almost half a treasure.
