Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Alka has searched for at least dozens of treasures, but those with Fame can be counted on one hand.

Most likely, their descendants still existed and had passed on some information about them.

Now, for this treasure to actually have some Fame was somewhat unusual.

However, Alka focused on the treasure's name, its information, and its potential gains.

From these details and the name, he inferred that this item was probably not combat-oriented.

It's worth a try.

Thinking this, a handkerchief appeared in Alka's hand, and he placed it on the harmonica.

Seeing Alka genuinely prepare to play it a couple of times, Chadite and Pororo immediately stepped back, ready for any unexpected incidents.

DOO-OO-OOM~

A slightly muffled note sounded, and Alka immediately took the harmonica from his lips.

While playing the harmonica, he had infused his Magic Power into it—a necessary procedure for using Magic Items.

The surroundings fell silent.

However, nothing happened. Alka, not wanting to give up, played it a couple more times.

This time, he played a few notes, and the melody sounded somewhat pleasant.

Yet, still nothing happened; playing the harmonica produced no unusual effects.

At most, one could only say its tone was good.

Chadite chuckled beside him and said, "The harmonica's tone isn't bad. It's impressive it has been preserved so well for so long."

Looking at the harmonica in his hand, Alka helplessly tossed it into his Pocket Ring.

"Forget it, never mind. Let's head to the center of the island first."

With that, he led the other two toward the center of the island. The treasure there was their primary objective this time.

Something hidden by a major island Governor of the Alliance surely wouldn't be anything too shabby.

Following the wide avenue, now overgrown with weeds, they reached the center of the island.

The port town they had seen earlier was already quite impressive.

Before them, a complex of buildings stretched to the horizon. It was a pity, though, that many had completely collapsed.

This place had clearly been a ruin for a long time.

Numerous skeletal remains littered the surroundings. The wounds on them were fresh, likely inflicted by the pirates who had come to explore recently.

The three of them walked into the city.

The outer areas showed many signs of searching, with numerous fresh footprints.

The deeper they ventured, skeletons began to crawl out from various places and attack them.

However, these were likely skeletons of ordinary people, truly too weak to inflict even the slightest harm on them.

They cleared them away with ease, their pace not slowing in the slightest.

They arrived at the largest building in the center: the island's Governor's Mansion.

It was a combination of several exquisite buildings of various sizes. Even now, these structures remained remarkably intact; not even the paint on the walls had peeled.

Aside from some weeds and dust, it truly seemed to be in good condition.

Looking at the surrounding wall, the three of them climbed over it and into the compound.

"This place is extravagantly luxurious," Chadite commented as she entered, her eyes taking in the gardens, the various artificial courtyard streams, and the statues.

This included a wide, circular plaza with a central fountain sculpture.

All of it flaunted the original owner's status and wealth.

This inspired a certain anticipation in Chadite.

Pororo looked around and shook his head, remarking with some disdain, "Too flashy. What a hassle."

Several skeletal remains crawled out from the nearby bushes. These were completely different from the skeletons they had seen before.

Their bodies were wreathed in an eerie green mist, and the aura they emitted was much stronger.

Their bones seemed to be tightly joined, or perhaps they floated, as they rose to a standing position, each holding a two-meter-long spear.

"Unfamiliar enemies," Pororo remarked, sounding somewhat excited as he observed the skeletons before him.

Glimmering water swirled around his body as he charged toward the nearest skeleton.

Alka also summoned his weapon, which he called the Bat.

The sphere on the Bat's tip floated up. Alka swung the Bat fiercely, sending the sphere shooting toward another skeleton.

The sphere flew out in an instant, smashing into the skeleton's sternum and shattering its ribcage. The rest of its bones scattered across the ground.

However, under the influence of the enveloping green mist, the shattered bones began to reassemble and move toward Alka.

"Chadite, some fire, please!"

Hearing Alka, Chadite rolled her eyes with a sigh of resignation.

With a wave of her arm, a milky-white Holy Flame shot from her hand, instantly enveloping the returning sphere.

Alka struck the sphere again. This time, the sphere, now blazing with milky-white flames, smashed into the enemy.

The flame and the green mist coiled around each other, beginning to counteract one another.

But it was clear that the Holy Light flame, possessing a suppressive effect, was superior.

Once all the green mist was burned away, the skeleton immediately collapsed into a pile of bones on the ground.

Meanwhile, Pororo had also successfully pulverized the skeleton he faced; its green mist was dispersed by the azure water flow.

As a Warrior of the Great Ocean, Pororo wielded water imbued with special Elements, akin to Divinity.

While not as potent as Holy Light against the undead, it still possessed a similar suppressive effect.

This was entirely different from attacks using ordinary water.

The two special spectral skeletons were swiftly eliminated.

Still, these probably aren't the main enemies, Alka thought. Skeletons of this strength couldn't possibly be at the Two Spirals level.

He nodded to the other two, and the three of them proceeded cautiously toward the building ahead.

The moment they pushed open the large main doors, a horde of Evil Spirits burst out from within, instantly engulfing them.

A bone-chilling Coldness pervaded their bodies. Alka felt as if his limbs were frozen solid.

He couldn't help but shiver.

Silver ripples rapidly spread outwards, dispersing all the rushing Evil Spirits.

These weren't actual Evil Spirits, but rather the special effect of an attack.

Inside the building, clusters of eerie green flames ignited one after another.
