Urullius raised his head slightly to look at the sky, his eyes glinting with hope.

That's what she knew her race was like through her heritage.

"It wasn't until the outbreak of the Divine War that it was originally just a contradiction and grudge between some gods, but the grudge became bigger and bigger.

The hatred that had been piled up for countless years exploded in an instant, and the war that swept the world came.

The number of gods is so large and the power is so strong that the world simply cannot bear it. At this time, my ancestors were inspired by the world.

Became the Prism clan and became the dragon of salvation. ”

Saying that, the crystal dragon raised his head and looked at the sky: "But you also saw that my ancestors failed and the world was broken. ”

The crowd listened quietly.

Jason watched the crystal dragon walk over, reached out and patted it, "This is not a surprise. ”

"It's just my whining, and the surprise is certainly not this."

Urullius nudged Jason with his dragon claw, which really ruined the atmosphere.

"What I'm actually trying to say is that there are a lot of rituals in my lineage. It's just that I'm too weak, and with this treasure, I can simplify the ritual, and I can also strengthen the effect of the ritual, so that I can use some in advance. ”

As she spoke, she raised her dragon claws, and the crystals on her body suddenly glowed.

The crowd could feel the gathering of magic around them.

Seeing this, Arka hurriedly stuck his head out of the boat. He waved his hand at the patrol who felt the fluctuations in mana.

Signal to them that it's okay here.

After communicating with the guards outside, Arka retracted his head.

Helplessly looked at Urullius.

As the mana converged, crystals made of mana appeared in her dragon claws, and then she slammed into Jason's body.

Iridescent light rippled from Jason's body.

In the light, everyone watched, and Jason's head grew a pair of crystal dragon horns that closely resembled Urullius.

Crystal dragon horns protruded from his forehead.

Fine crystal scales appeared on Jason's cheeks.

Then the light fell.

Jason watched his changes and touched a pair of dragon horns growing from his forehead.

Suddenly, his face was slightly red, as if his neck was blocked, as if something was choking.

Hurriedly ran to the side of the boat and vomited on the sea outside.

As he vomited, he vomited a large amount of iridescent light. A huge amount of energy was sprayed into the seawater, instantly freezing a large area of the sea next to it into crystals.

Jason didn't get used to it for a while, and his head flew out as soon as he lifted his energy.

"What are you doing? Want to fight! "A ship slid over the side, spreading past the frozen crystals, almost hitting the bottom of their ship.

The ship's sailors yelled at them frantically.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jason, who came back to his senses, hurriedly apologized, and waved his hand to lift the frozen crystal sea below.

"Be careful next time!"

Jason embarrassed and walked over to the crowd again.

"It's like spitting." He's not used to being a dragon man when he's just turned into a dragonman.

For Jason's new form, everyone looked around.

Arka looked behind him: "Why don't you have wings?" ”

"And there's no tail yet." Bororo, who was still maintaining his tail, looked at Jason and said.

"Legend has it that dragonmen don't all have dragon horns, covered with scales, wings and tails?" Lucilia asked, curious.

At this time, Ulullius's somewhat embarrassed voice sounded: "My strength is not strong enough, so I can only do it like this." ”

It turned out that the strength of the transformation was not enough, so it was obvious that the simplified ritual would even be simplified with the effect.

"Can you change it back?" Jason said, looking at Urullius.

The only thing he feels about the change in his current form is that his physique has become a little stronger, but not much.

The most obvious feeling was that the magic power in his body had increased, and he seemed to have become more comfortable with the control of crystal magic.

Other than that, he didn't feel much change.

"Yes." Urullius said, and the power began to fade from Jason's body and back into hers.

"Alright, here you can familiarize yourself with your new treasure. I still have to go beforehand. Arka said as he jumped off the deck.

It took them just over a month to make the carriers of these three treasures.

Yesterday I received a letter from the archbishop.

The treasure has been obtained, but he needs to go over and communicate with the owner of the treasure for a while.

Soon Arka came to the cathedral, and a priest took Arka directly to the top.

I entered a meeting room.

When Arka knocked on the door and entered, there was nothing but the familiar archbishop inside. There was also an unusually serious-looking old man, his hair and beard slightly graying.

But the momentum on his body has not diminished, giving people the feeling that he has just returned from a fight on the battlefield.

It also has the characteristic smell of volcanic sulfur.

Dressed in pure black with some metal ornaments on it.

The dress gives the impression of a little youthful, a bit of heavy metal punk.

"Arka, you're here, come and sit." He gestured to the seat next to him.

Arka walked over and nodded, and sat down politely.

The archbishop then said, "Come, let me introduce you, this is my friend Grefal, the demon hunter. ”

"This is the Lady of Mary, the head of the Compass Pupil - Arka."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and nodded to each other. Arka had already seen the strength of this serious old man through his own eyes.

is actually on a par with the archbishop, and they are all above the sixth stage of strength.

I just don't know if it's the seventh stage or the more outrageous strength.

With Alka's strength rising to the fourth stage, he has already identified the archbishop above the sixth stage.

"Demon Hunter?" Arka repeated, where he seemed to have heard.

The old man named Grefal in front of him looked at Arka and said, "Chebrid told me about you and your companions. ”

Hearing this, Arka instantly remembered. The one who acted with Bororo when he was in the Land of Spirits before, a person whose strength is in the fourth stage.

Arka remembered that he seemed to call himself a witcher. At first, Arka thought he was a member of the Church of Our Lady.

Later, I found out that it was not, but it just happened to be with the Church of Our Lady to support.

I don't know much, but I don't seem to be very talkative. But a very practical person. And it has a set of efficient means for hunting demons.

Now that I think about it, he seems to be dressed in almost the same style as the Grefal in front of him.

"It's great that you know each other well." The archbishop said and glanced at Alka.

A glass ball appeared directly from the palm of Alka's hand.

The glass ball is wrapped in an ethereal pink cloud.

This is Arka's earliest treasure, the Dream Catcher Crystal Ball.

If there is any treasure on his body now, if he does not use it in a short period of time, it will not affect him too much, it is this treasure.

As Arka became the Dream King, he absorbed the fragments of the Dream Gods.

This treasure is more about keeping Alka strong in the dream world.

and dragging enemies into a dream-like space to strengthen one's own strength.

After thinking about it, Arka decided to temporarily use this treasure as a temporary mortgage.

Besides, the treasure was not mortgaged in the hands of the other party, but in the hands of the archbishop.

For the archbishop of the Church of Our Lady, Arka still gave full trust.

After all, both the Virgin and the Church have always helped Alka.

To put it more bluntly, Arka and they can almost be considered their own people.

Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, Arka's treasure hunt may be affiliated with the Church of Our Lady.

At this time, Grayfell, on the other side, lifted a box from his feet.

When the chest is opened, there is a treasure inside.

It was a scythe, and it looked rather beautiful, more like some kind of ritual object. It's not like it's used as a weapon.

After all, the appearance is beautiful, and it is also embellished with some gems and patterns. The overall structure doesn't look like it's forged for practicality.

"The harvest sickle can be said to be a very typical treasure symbolizing autumn." The archbishop pointed to the scythe and said to Arka.

Arka nodded and looked up at Grefal, to be honest, the old man was indeed a bit tall.

Even Alka, who is about 1.8 meters tall, has to look up at him when he sits, and the old man has to stand up at least two meters or more.

"Thank you for your willingness to offer a temporary exchange."

The archbishop looked at the two and nodded, and was about to reach out and take their treasures.

However, Grefal suddenly grabbed the archbishop's hand.

Seeing such behavior, the archbishop looked at Grefal with a frown: "We can talk about it before. ”

Grefal still had the same serious face, and when he heard this, he glanced at the archbishop: "Don't worry, I'm not refusing. I just didn't expect that it would be this friend in front of me who was going to exchange treasures with me temporarily. ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Arka, "If I'm not mistaken, you and your companions are treasure hunters, right?" ”

Arka nodded: "That's right, we are indeed a treasure hunting group. ”

"Chebrid told me before that you went to the Land of the Spirits because you were looking for treasure, right?"

"Of course, treasure hunts go to strange places, of course for the treasure." Arka replied directly, this is not something incomprehensible.

If the treasure hunt group doesn't hunt for treasure, then what else can it do.

Grefal nodded: "I'm a little curious, if you don't mind, can you solve my old man's doubts?" ”

Arka glanced at him and nodded, "Of course you can answer it." ”

"This time you have played a big role in the land of spirits, dealing with demons and defending against cultists, and even played a vital role in the end, so what makes you willing to act like this?"

You know, for Arka, they could be called dangerous in the land of spirits before, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

"Hatred, treasures, wealth, friendship, and the friendship of a god." Arka replied vaguely.

And his answer is not wrong, but it is just a rough summary.

Just the friendship of the last god was enough for them to take the risk, not to mention that the main thing for them was to kill Karuto at that time.

Grefal nodded, his expression still the same serious face, without much fluctuation.

"If it's a treasure hunt, would you be interested in a place full of treasures?"

"Hey! Grayfell? What do you want? The archbishop, who heard this, interrupted with a frown.

Grefal ignored him and said, "I'm just telling the story, not doing anything out of the ordinary." ”

Then he looked at Arka and said, "Do you know the Salalan Empire? ”

Alka glanced at the archbishop, and saw the archbishop's slightly helpless eyes.

After thinking about it, he said, "I know, I knew about this country when I learned about the information of the Devouring Mouth before. He is said to have been destroyed by a demonic invasion thousands of years ago. ”

"No, the country is not yet destroyed, and the rest of his people are still fighting in the ruins."

Hearing this, Arka probably understood.

Obviously, the demon hunter and the demon hunter in front of him should be the descendants of this country.

They may still be fighting in their original lands.

Still fighting on the ruins, which means that the area is still infested with demons.

When I learned about the Devouring Mouth before, I also learned about this area by the way, which is a more dangerous type. However, at that time, their focus was not much known elsewhere.

And they have the prefix of demon hunting, which should be the reason.

"It seems that you understand, so I'll just say it.

If you're interested, you can learn about the country's past glory and wealth. Demonic invasions and wars have devastated the country, leaving the country in ruins.

And demons, if you know it, they clearly have a penchant for destruction, chaos and killing.

The wealth of the mortal world has no meaning to them.

I believe that for a treasure hunt, such a temptation should be attractive enough. ”

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Thank you for listening to an old man's ramblings, your treasure has a deep connection with you, and it should be used by yourself."

Since it's you, I'll lend you this treasure for some use. ”

As he spoke, he directly closed the box and pushed it over.

Arka saw this and glanced at the archbishop.

The archbishop nodded helplessly: "Take it, but don't master it." If you don't get it right, then you owe a lot of gratitude. ”

Hearing this, Arka thought for a moment and pushed the box slightly towards the archbishop: "Let's use the protective measures that should be used." ”

The archbishop nodded in satisfaction.

After opening the box, he used some unknown spell to attach it directly in front of the two of them.

The golden energy like a fluid enveloped the entire treasure and then disappeared into it.

Then he closed the lid of the box and pushed it in front of Arka again.

"Take it, and remember to return it as soon as possible." Arka nodded.

Then he looked at Grefal in front of him and said politely: "Thank you for your generous help, I will remember this affection." ”

"No, he's already helped you offset it."

Alka nodded, not saying anything more.

After saying goodbye to the two, he left the room directly with the box.

After Arka left, the archbishop looked at Grevale with a frown.

He asked in an angry tone, "What do you want to do?" Why are you talking to him about this? ”

Unhurried, Grefal took a sip of the tea in front of him.

"What's wrong? I didn't say anything. ”

"Less garlic here, why did you hook his interest in the Saran Empire?"

Hearing this, Grefal turned his head to look at the archbishop a little strangely: "Is there anything wrong with this?" Am I telling a lie? ”

"Isn't the former Salalan Empire the top country in the entire Infinite Sea? Isn't his wealth vast and staggering? Isn't that something that even the church envies? ”

Hearing this, the archbishop sighed helplessly.

"But it's dangerous there."

"Danger? Isn't the land of the spirits where the flower fairy was revived before dangerous? Grefal asked rhetorically.

"That's different."

"What's the difference, he's already offended the Devouring Mouth anyway, and this damn demon won't let him go.

It's better to find a way to slaughter the other party first.

And isn't Salalan now also with the troops of the various churches there? Afraid of what?

You knights of the Church of Our Lady, but the most happy to kill there.

And don't you see it? Their entire ship has an oath and they understand the suffering of the world. You should understand what I mean. ”

The archbishop sighed helplessly, and rubbed his brow with his hand in annoyance.

"It's not the same, you can't understand it. Arka comes from the homeland island of the homeland sea. He was born a believer in Our Lady.

Moreover, and Our Lady is really calling him her own child. A long time ago, when he came to the Infinite Sea. Our Lady herself has given us an oracle not to interfere with him or to guide him.

Just let him sail on his own, and I hope you can't be guided by what you just said. ”

"Could he be the child of the Virgin?" Grefal couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not, he's just an ordinary mortal, at least before." The archbishop glared at Grefa fiercely and said.

Moreover, the Sanctuary did not let them give them privileges, and made a point of emphasizing that they should not help Arka too much. Only limited assistance is available when Alka asks for help.

"Don't worry, if Our Lady doesn't punish me, it means that my words can't be regarded as guidance."

"As long as they are still a treasure hunting group for a day, they will not be able to escape the Salalan Empire. If you haven't been to the Salalan Empire, you can't call it a powerful treasure hunt, can you? ”

Hearing this, the archbishop could only nod in agreement.

Because it's really true, it can't be refuted.

Forget it, anyway, as a treasure hunting group, it will pass one day.

Knowing earlier won't be a big problem.

After all, in his understanding, Arka should be considered a more cautious person.
