"So I have a question? How long will it take for this person to get here, and how long will we have to wait? ”

Arka asked, propped his hands on the table, looking at Balazs across from him.

"I just received the news of his departure from the church a few days ago, and it will take about three or four months according to the distance." Balazs thought for a moment and gave a somewhat vague answer.

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

Three or four months.

Then you can use this period of time to go to Vastva and get that treasure in your hands.

At their current speed, it would only take about 10 days to get from Southern Cross Island to the Broken Island where Vastva is located.

And the information about Vasteva's treasure has basically been discovered, and only the conditions left are met.

Arka turned to look at Balazs.

Based on his current situation, it is obviously unlikely that he will spare such a long time, especially at this time to travel to Vastva together.

"Looks like you need my help with something." Balazs said after taking a sip from the glass in front of him.

Hearing this, Arka didn't hesitate: "There is something that needs your treasure to help." ”

Hearing this, Balaz glanced at him and thought for a moment that his treasure appeared directly in his hand.

A round stone slab with magma-like lines on it.

"Is it just me who needs to provide the treasure, or do you need me to go there myself?

If I had to go in person, you knew that I was obviously not going to be away for too long, which would surely arouse Kerry's suspicions.

If you just need to provide treasures, then there will be no problem in a short time. ”

Arka looked at the treasure that Balazs had placed on the table and looked up at him: "All you need is your treasure to complete the unlocking process of a ritual." ”

Hearing this, Balazs nodded knowingly. Then the treasure was directly pushed over: "Then you can use it." Of course, you must at least give it back to me before it begins, or I won't have the strength to deal with a strong enemy. ”

Arka looked at the treasure in the middle and held it in his hand, and the treasure was unusually heavy like a solid stone slab.

The hand appeared, and the treasure chest that had been used to hold the treasure before put the treasure inside.

"Don't worry, it will be returned in about a month." In the face of Balazs's trust, Arka can't be too stingy.

After thinking for a moment, Arka said, "I will probably need to leave Southern Cross Island for about a month because of this matter, and before that I should leave some of the people on our ship behind." If something goes wrong, you talk to them again. ”

Balazs nodded and said, "If you need anything to tell me or need my help, just take a walk around the Chamber of Commerce." Then come here and wait, and I'll know. If I don't show up for a long time, it means that there is something going on that day, and I can't take the time to leave.

If I have any news that needs to be passed on to you, I will pass it on through here, and the boss will find you when the time comes. ”

Arka nodded in understanding, and finally discussed some details with Balazs. They each left the secret tavern on the second floor.

The place where Balazs left was clearly not the main entrance under the stairs.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Arka soon returned to the ship.

However, a few more conspicuous people on the ship can naturally only stay on the ship all the time, including the crystal dragon Urullius.

There's no way around it.

Whether it's Poloro or the three of them, Lucilia, the puppet girl, or the crystal dragon, they are all extremely conspicuous existences.

The concealment wrapped around the treasure can only block the situation on the deck.

With Arka back to the ship.

They sat down on the deck and began to talk.

Arka also told them about today's conversation.

"So we'll have to wait at least three or four months before we act?"

"That's right, before I did, I decided to go to Vastva to complete the ceremony."

Xia Daiti nodded, it was indeed no problem.

Three or four months was enough for them to complete the ritual in Vasteva and get the treasure.

There's plenty of time.

"So you're going to split everyone into two groups, one to stay on Southern Cross Island and the other to go to Shattered Island?" Jason asked.

"That's right."

After thinking about it, Arka probably had the assigned list in his mind and said, "Jason, Porollo, Matricea, Lucilia." The four of you come with me. ”

In fact, because of Urullius, she must have to go with her, otherwise she wouldn't even have a place to hide here.

Polo and Matresa are the same, both of them are the type that is not easy to hide.

The same goes for Lucilia, and the nature puppet girls will follow along.

The rest of the people were able to disguise themselves well in the port, and they were no different from ordinary people.

After listening to Arka's arrangement, everyone nodded, this is indeed a more reasonable situation.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Right now." Arka said directly.

After all, he went early and returned early, not to mention that he still had Balazs's treasure in his hand now.

Of course, the sooner you give it back to someone else, the better.

Everyone immediately took action, Xia Daiti took a few people to collect some luggage, get enough money, make some simple but very practical ordinary disguises, and get off the ship directly.

Taking advantage of the night, I found a good hotel directly at the port and booked a few rooms.

Arka and the others also controlled the ship and slowly sailed away from the port.

The reason why they were a little impatient when they sailed towards the Broken Island was because they were going to the Broken Island at the right time.

By the time they're almost there, just in time to land on the island, they'll have to wait until next time.

Out of range, Urullius was finally able to spread his wings and soar through the sky.

【Heart of Vastwa】

[Difficulty: Strength of Four Points (3rd Stage)]

[Popularity: 126,000]

[Treasure information: The city-state of Vastva, the ancient city, believes in the ancient god of the secret four, also known as the change......

…… Gather the treasures of the four temples and you will automatically gain four points of power. In the midst of the council, scatter the treasures and fall into the hands of each statue, chanting Vastva to obtain the hidden treasures.

The original opening method has long been unusable due to special reasons. You'll need to get other artifacts related to spring, summer, and autumn, and gain a hint of divine power to simulate the power of the four parts of the council disc to unlock the treasures. (Perfect)

Arka looked at the orange dots of light on the map in his hand.

This was the first island they landed on in the Infinite Sea, and the first scepter-class artifact they first discovered.

As a result, I didn't expect that after so many years, I would have the ability to come back and open it.

"We're coming." In the sky, the crystal dragon fell directly onto the deck. Jason jumped off her back and said, they had just seen the Broken Island in the sky.

Arka nodded and said loudly, "Hurry up, let's go full speed!" ”

The song was passed on excitedly, and the sound of dawn instantly increased its speed, and began to gallop forward with a sprint-like feeling.

Breaking waves splashed from both sides.

Soon the nostalgic Broken Island appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It took more than half a day for them to finally reach the broken island.

Arka looked at the situation in front of them and said directly: "Just land in front." ”

"Won't you go to town?" Bororo asked next to him.

Arka shook his head: "Let's go ashore from where we first landed, it's close to where we're going." ”

Soon the people saw the gap.

The sound of dawn slowly leaned over and stopped.

"Okay, let's go down."

Soon everyone jumped off the deck, and the sound of dawn slowly sank into the water, hiding itself underwater.

Jason stepped on the sand, looked around, and said with some nostalgia, "This is the first island we landed on in the Infinite Sea." ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, leaving a trail of footprints on the beach.

Urullius streaked across the sky, exuding his might.

Everyone could clearly hear the sound of collision in the jungle. Apparently, scared away some of the beasts in the jungle.

"We had to explore cautiously before." Bororo said with a smile.

As they spoke, the men began to walk forward, all the way forward, and it was not long before they saw the ruins they had seen before.

However, there is a wooden sign around the ruins, which clearly says in language, "Don't rush to this place and it's dangerous."

Looking at the plaque, Arka couldn't help but smile because he wrote it.

Later, after getting on good terms with the Broken Town, they proposed to put such wooden signs around some of the more dangerous ruins as a warning.

Come to the ruins.

Turning to look at everyone: "Are you ready?" ”

The crowd nodded.

Lucilia, who was on Alka's shoulder, directly said the name of the temple in Vastva's language, and as the magic power around her increased, everyone was instantly pulled down.

Soon the crowd was on the floor.

It was pitch black all around, and with a slight snap of his fingers, a little light illuminated the surroundings.

Arka looked at the underground cavern, and Urulius looked at the towering cavern, flapped his wings and flew up directly, walking around the cave.

This underground cavern can really be described as huge.

Look at the row after row of ladders behind them that spill upwards.

"Come with me."

As he spoke, he and the others came to the stone bridge that connected to the central altar.

Cross the stone bridge and look into the abyss below the stone bridge.

It stretches down to a depth of several hundred meters.

On all sides of the central altar stood four huge statues holding something empty-handed.

I came to the statue of the Holy Grail in the center.

"What now?" Jason asked.

This is also the specific operation process, and the only thing that can be understood is Alka.

Arka turned to look at Borro and Matrice.

The two nodded, and each released his treasure.

A bouquet of blue flowers, winter.

A sprouted sprout, spring.

Arka stood still and felt his bearings.

"Mattlisa, you stand here, standing underneath this statue, right in front of it.

Porollo, you stand under the statue to the left of Matressa. ”

The two nodded, and stood below their respective statues as Arka had said.

Arka opened the chest he was carrying, and it was the large treasure chest that he had bought before, which could store two pieces.

After opening, two treasures borrowed from both parties are being stored inside.

Arka took out the scythe that represented the harvest and handed it to Jason.

He also handed Lucilia the slate that represented the summer heat.

"Lucilia, you're standing to the right of Matricea, and Jason you're below the last statue."

The two nodded, took the treasure, and stood in their respective places. The crystal dragon and the puppet girls standing on her body stared at them from the distant stands.

Summer and autumn are also in unison.

After watching everyone arrive.

Arka took a deep breath: "Hold the treasure up and raise it above your heads. ”

Everyone followed Arka's voice and made uniform movements.

Arka looked at the chalice sculpture in front of him and walked up, closed his eyes and pressed his hands to the sides of the chalice.

Billowing pink clouds emerged from his body and began to spread across the platform.

Bit by bit, the light began to converge in front of his chest, like thin droplets of water.

The power of that energy made everyone can't help but squint slightly.

The surrounding mana was repelled in an instant, and some kind of stronger, higher concentration of energy began to repel it. Push them out.

Around Alka, a vacuum similar to magic is created.

A golden droplet, but as if dream-like, illusionary, and false, was completely revealed.

It was the shred of Arka's divine power that he had drawn from the fragment of Godhead he had devoured.

Controlling this droplet, like a drop of water, fell into the Holy Grail.

In the silence of the surroundings.

Water droplets that fall into the bottom of the cup.

It was as if there was a cracking sound.

The energy exploded in an instant, and the energy that sprinted out filled the vacuum of mana, pushing the surrounding mana back by a section.

The people holding the treasure high couldn't help but squint their eyes and look away slightly. The hurricane of the magic stinged their cheeks.

The energy converges in the stone sculpture of the Holy Grail.

Energy began to flow from beneath the chalice, and the entire line on the chalice produced golden lines. It began to seep into the floor like a liquid, and the lines on the floor were also lit up and spread outward. Climbing the stone pillar and then spreading over the statue.

The brazier was lit and a strange flame was lit on it.

Spreading all the way, the four statues were completely lit up. Eventually, all the energy seemed to converge on the palm of their statue's hand.

Pololo immediately felt the winter flower he was holding above his head, as if he was being dragged by some kind of attraction.

Hurriedly let go of his control, and the winter flower slowly floated up.

Enveloped in a sphere of energy that landed in the palm of the statue in front of him.

Then came Matricesa.

It seems that because it is not the original, it took a while for the buds in her hands to float up and fall into the palm of her hand.

As the treasure in her hand floated up, the treasures of the other two also began to flutter slowly.

When the four treasures completely fell into the palm of the hand, the energy in the treasures of the four seasons began to be extracted.

The energy gained converges in the air, absorbing the magic that had been repelled before.

Converged into a strand, connected into a straight line in the stone sculpture of the Holy Grail in front of Arka.

The energy mixed with the little divine power that had flowed in it before began to fill the entire cup.

Increasing concentrations of energy began to rise around them, and a great amount of light appeared in the Holy Grail.

The energy of the four colors mixed with the colors in the center, producing a total of five colors, which began to rotate and merge.

A vortex of highly concentrated liquid energy appeared in the cup.

As the vortex began to spin, the surrounding mana was once again pulled.

Some of the crevices above the stone wall and stone caves, with the swirling hurricane, actually resounded some kind of natural music played by the wind.

The music echoed through the hall beneath the ground, and everyone couldn't help but look up.

Feel the strangeness of this music.

Wild and natural, but with a clear sense of worship.

It's some kind of ballad of praise.

The design used by the people who built the temple hall can be described as ingenious.

The whirlpool grew more and more violent.

Even everyone sensed the chaos of the surrounding space, and something was about to be ripped out of the armor layer of the space.

It seems that the ceremony was a success.

The energy in the chalice began to rise layer after layer, disappearing as it swirled.

Until it disappears completely.

An object that shimmered with brilliant light was revealed.
