Arka is in the forging hall under the cabin, and the forging hall at this time is much larger than before due to the expansion of space.

Holding a jade ball as white as jade in his hand, he began to integrate the essence of divinity into it through rituals and means.

With the integration of the essence of divinity, the jade ball, which was just an ordinary jade ball made of a large number of precious materials, began to have different characteristics.

It began to transform from a pure white jade, from a sphere with a solid body, to a hazy cloud-like shape.

A pale gray smoke appeared on the sphere, and the gray smoke condensed into the middle of the sphere.

It becomes a strange color with a hint of green in gray and a change to blue.

It's like a soul.

The whole sphere seemed to have no substance, like a sphere made of clouds and mist, and even slowly floated up from the table where it was stored.

Alka could clearly see the soul fluctuations on this sphere.

As the divine essence was perfectly integrated into it, such changes immediately dissipated, and the treasure became introverted.

From a cloud ball like a soul, it was transformed into a substance again, only this time from a white jade ball to a gray jade-like ball.

Looking at the ball in this jade, it feels like an ordinary handicraft made of some kind of inferior jade.

This treasure is finally finished.

This is also the treasure that can be made from the materials on their ship, and prepared for Lucilia.

Arka looked at the treasure and blinked.

Just like what Alka had seen before, it functions like the modification and alteration of the soul.

It's very vague.

It seems that it is necessary to completely own ideas and operations to be able to produce specific functions.

After all, under normal circumstances, no race or spell can be manipulative of souls, unless it is for one's own soul.

Or to some animal souls that have no will, otherwise the mystery of the soul is the deepest and most rigorous.

The only way Arka can think of it right now is to attach his attacks to the ability to attack souls directly.

Or to improve any defenses against souls.

Others seem to have more detailed and useful operations, but Arka, who really doesn't study the soul deeply, is not so good.

With the treasure in hand, Arka placed it in a chest and made his way to the deck.

I happened to see Lucilia under the tree, and most of the rest were on deck.

Arka came to Lucilia with the box and shook it in front of her.

Seeing that it was not only Lucilia, but the rest of the people gathered around, because it was obviously the chest used to hold the treasure.

This also means that Lucilia's treasure has been crafted.

As the box opened, the gray jade ball was revealed.

"Why do my treasures always feel like they look so cheap?" Lucilia looked at the gray jade ball and couldn't help but complain.

However, he still hugged the orb with both hands.

Without saying a word, just wrap the magic power around it and master it.

With the influx of mana, the gray jade ball once again transformed into the same form that Arka had fused before.

This time, more gray-green soul-like clouds of energy floated out, enveloping Lucilia entirely.

Arka even saw Lucilia's soul reflected slightly from her body, just as she had been a soul and had no body.

As the treasure was fully grasped, the mist began to dissipate, and the entire treasure melted directly into Lucilia's body.

Lucilia opened her eyes, and they turned straight into smoke. It took a while to close my eyes and control it before returning to its original state.

"This treasure is to give some means to be able to manipulate the soul, which used to require various rituals, with the help of external forces and even spells, and can now be directly completed through the ability given by the treasure.

And it has to be better and deeper than these means.

However, how to use it can only be planned after being proficient. ”

Lucilia said.

This kind of treasure belongs to the kind of treasure with a high degree of freedom, and how to use the treasure to the desired effect depends entirely on what kind of knowledge and ideas the person who holds the treasure has.

To put it more simply, it's like a treasure that can manipulate fire.

There are many treasures that can control flames, but they may go in different directions.

This artifact is somewhat similar to this, plus it is about soul manipulation, not as simple and straightforward as the elements.

There are far fewer books on the soul than there are in the element.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

However, Lucilia still smiled and said, "Although she can't fully exert her abilities yet, it is very suitable for my puppet knights." ”

Obviously, this treasure can help the puppet girls to have their true souls faster and better.

As the crowd was talking on the boat, a merchant ship appeared a few kilometers away in the sea.

The appearance of the merchant ship made everyone can't help but look away, after all, they haven't seen anyone else in a long time.

"There's a merchant ship, it seems to be from some chamber of commerce on the Twin Islands, I think I've seen that sign." Jason said with a slight squint as he looked at the sailboat in the distance.

"Looks like we're about to get to the Twin Islands." Alka breathed a sigh of relief at this scene.

It's finally time to return to the twin islands.

Xia Daiti took out his notebook and tools similar to measurement, looked at them and said, "Soon, we will be able to arrive tomorrow at most." ”

Hearing this, everyone smiled without exception, after all, they were about to reach the island, and they had been sailing at sea for too long.

……

The next day, the curtain had just been lifted.

Arka: They are about to reach the Twin Islands.

I could already see the vast island and the ships coming and going around it from afar.

When they arrived, they finally returned to the lively area, often lonely at sea.

The boats coming and going and the various sounds made them feel intimate.

This time, there was no circle at all, and I was already familiar with the road. You will come directly to the entrance of Twin Islands and enter the central port through a straight sea route.

As soon as the boat was parked on the shore, the guards who were outside came over.

"Alka?"

It's a three-person team, led by one who also controls a float pen and notebook.

Arka stuck his head out of the boat and looked over.

"Kante, long time no see, should you be on duty today?"

They were all church acquaintances they had known before.

"It's really you, I haven't seen you in a long time, and I thought you had already left for a longer place."

This kind of thing is common at sea, let alone for a treasure hunt group like Arka.

After all, among the prosperous islands of the entire Infinite Sea, the twin islands are not in the top 10.

Although it is already much more prosperous than most of the islands.

"I'm going to a farther place, but I'm still here, after all, I'm familiar with this place." Arka said with a smile.

"It's reassuring to see you return safely, so I won't bother you."

Kanter said, pressing a safety mark on the bow of the boat.

Although Arka and the others docked, they did not immediately disembark, but gathered in the captain's room.

"Although we have already landed, we have done some of the things that need to be done first, and we will probably stay in the Twin Islands for a long time this time.

First of all, I'll hand over to you the materials we needed before, Simon. Arka said as he looked at Simon.

Simon nodded, these were all treasures that they hadn't made yet, after all, there were really not many materials on the ship.

This time it's going to have to be a big purchase.

"There are also supplies needed by the Vastwa people who need to be replenished, and these will be handed over to Xia Daiti."

Xia Daiti also nodded.

"Others should rest, they should have fun, and they should come back for a rare trip."

After some more details, the meeting was dissolved.

Ulullius, who turned into a human form, directly pulled Jason and jumped off the boat, heading straight for the island.

In the past, Urullius couldn't roam around the Twin Isles, she was a huge dragon after all. Although the Twin Islands are prosperous and have strong enough force, most of them are still civilians, and they can't stand a giant dragon flying above their heads.

Now that she has changed into a human form, although she has a strange appearance, she is much better than before. Moreover, this is the twin islands, and there are countless people with strange appearances, and the puppet girls are unlikely to cause too much trouble here.

Playing with the play, working with the work, Arka carried the treasure chest and headed straight towards the church, which contained the Harvest Scythe that had been stored for a long time.

It's time to return this treasure.

"Alka? When did you get back. ”

As soon as he entered the church, an acquaintance saw Arka and asked in surprise.

"You've just arrived, is the archbishop there?"

Hearing this, the man shook his head: "I thought you weren't coming back, the archbishop seems to be upstairs, but I'm not sure, you can ask the others." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the guards next to him said directly: "It's up there." ”

"Thanks, I'm still fine."

Arka said as he carried the box and walked straight up. There was no longer a need for someone else's representative to receive it as before, so he went directly to the inner parlor where the archbishop was most likely to appear and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

It was the archbishop's peculiar deep voice that came from inside.

Arka pushed the door open and walked inside.

The archbishop was now buried in his desk, writing something without even raising his head.

It took about 10 seconds before he looked up to see who was coming.

"Alka? You're finally back, and I thought you ran away with the treasure, so I can't explain it to him. ”

The archbishop stood up, pushed his chair away, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Arka smiled as well.

"How is it possible, I'm not such a dishonest person."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and gave the archbishop a brief hug.

The archbishop looked at the current Arka.

Shaking his head, with a strange emotion.

"It's amazing, how long have we not seen each other?"

"It's been almost three years, or has it been more than three years?"

"yes, it's been so long. It seems like a long time, but it seems like time is short. ”

The archbishop sighed, then looked at Arka and said, "Last time you were in the fourth stage, and now you are in the fifth stage. ”

He shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

The speed of promotion is just too fast.

Arka smiled and said nothing, and sat down with the archbishop at the coffee table next to him.

Placed the box on the table and opened it.

The archbishop looked at the Harvest Scythe inside the chest, and saw that the seal he had made before on this treasure was still intact, and nodded.

Seeing the archbishop nod, Arka closed the lid back and pushed it forward.

"Thank you again for your help, this time it is very important to me."

The archbishop smiled and nodded, waved his hand, and patted the box.

"It's just a matter of taking what you need."

As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the box and looked at Alka: "When are you going to leave when you come back this time?" Or are you planning to rest more on the island? ”

After all, I've only come back once in so many years.

"Maybe a year on the twin islands." Arka thought for a moment and said.

It takes time to acquire enough materials, and there are so many treasures to be constructed. In particular, there is a scepter-level treasure, which takes time.

It just so happens that he can wait for his companions to improve their strength to the fifth stage within this year.

"Oh, that's good. I've done a lot of work out there this time, and Archbishop Chalvan of Rommes Island asked me to say thank you for him. ”

"What is this?" Arka thought about it carefully, and really hadn't heard of the name.

The big protagonist smiled: "He has a very proud disciple, a saint of the Virgin, and a prince of a small island.

I heard that this prince has become a king, and this is also your help, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, Arka suddenly realized, I see.

It seems that the information within the church is very well-informed, and the archbishop is obviously aware of what he is doing on Southern Cross Island.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" The archbishop asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Arka leaned back in his chair.

What he still has to do is that he has some desire to see the scars of the world.

There are also 12 towers of trials where they are located, and you have to take a look, these 12 towers can't be collected in a while.

Before you can collect these 12 Towers of Trials, you must first kill the rats hiding in the shadows.

So Arka said: "Maybe I will go to the world scar later, and the problem of the devouring mouth must be solved." ”

"I heard you met him again on Southern Cross Island this time?"

Arka nodded.

"Looks like you're really holding a grudge against this damned demon."

After thinking about it, the archbishop pushed the box over again: "Since you are going to the world to scar in the future, then you will give this treasure to him yourself."

When you get there to receive you, there will definitely be him. ”

Arca didn't take the box immediately, but looked at the archbishop and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for this place?" ”

Hearing this, the big protagonist couldn't help but show memories on his face: "This place...... When I was younger, I fought there, and there are painful memories, good memories, all there.

As he said before, there is indeed the legacy of a vast empire buried there, but it is also an out-and-out meat grinder.

People from churches, people from empires, people from organizations.

Pirates, mercenaries, haters, sages who save the world, careerists, people with great ambitions, treasure hunters, outsiders with ill will towards the world, demons, monsters, it's a melting pot. ”

Hearing this, Arka obviously had a little new understanding of this place.

"But the main theme of that ghost place is to defend against the invasion of demons, where demons continue to invade the world.

The knights of the various churches will defend there, and some powerful people will also be there to provide manpower to organize defenses.

After all, it's still a place where war is the main theme, so you'd better be careful if you want to hunt for treasure there, because there are wars going on all the time. Wars, large and small, are ignited everywhere. ”

Arka listened and nodded.

"But don't worry, there has been effective resistance there, and when the time comes, you can go directly to the area under the control of our church.

When you get there, you naturally know more. ”

After chatting with the archbishop for a while, Arka nodded, put the box in his hand again, and left.
