Treasure Hunting System: The Ocean Conquerer

Chapter 135: Determining the Treasure's Whereabouts (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Tianjianxing YQ, 10,000-Word Chapter)_3



What surprised him was that this treasure wasn't devoid of information. In fact, it actually included its name and details about the buried contents. This was already quite detailed. His original intention was merely to examine the difficulty requirements for obtaining this treasure, which would help him decide and prepare. Unexpectedly, there was an additional gain.

Perhaps it was because Alka and the others had previously gathered information about the treasures of the Vastin Empire. At that time, the records stated that the Vastin Empire's royal bloodline was very adept at manipulating flames, and many within the empire cherished the touch of fire. Therefore, it was speculated that the Vastin Empire possessed a fire-related treasure. This was the source of that information. It seemed this speculation was very accurate, allowing the Treasure Hunting System to expand its scope.

However, he could only feast his eyes on it. It seemed his first chosen target was off to a bad start; that difficulty was no joke. Firstly, it required the bloodline of the Vastin Empire, and secondly, one's strength had to reach Four Spirals. The need for the empire's bloodline was likely because some mechanisms required it to be unlocked. No one even knows if the royal bloodline still exists, let alone how to find it; we can't even get out of the Realm of Pitch Darkness. As for strength, reaching Four Spirals? Might as well wash up and go to bed; that would take until who knows when. By the time I reach Four Spirals, any opportunity will be long gone. Even though Julia's original strength was Six Spirals, she could now only exert the power of Three Spirals, and even that might not be fully utilized. According to her, it was only due to her experience that she could exert Three Spirals of power; fundamentally, she was still at Two Spirals. Neither of these conditions was currently within their capabilities. I certainly can't bring the Archbishop along for the adventure. If I did, the ownership of the treasure would become disputable. He shook his head helplessly. Now, his only hope lay with the other glowing spot.

However, the information provided by this glowing spot wasn't entirely useless. Even if he couldn't obtain the treasure itself, it wouldn't stop him from selling the information. He believed the Holy Mother Church would be absolutely willing to pay a hefty price to acquire such precise Treasure Information from him.

Thinking this, he placed the map aside, waiting for the markings on it to dry before rolling it up and putting it into his Pocket Ring. While waiting, he took out some supplies looted from pirates from the ring to replenish his energy.

He had no idea how much time had passed. In such a place of utter darkness, judging the passage of time was difficult. Even one's perception of time could become distorted.

Chadite handed the restored map to Alka.

"I did my best to restore it completely," she said, "but there could be errors in the details. You must be very discerning."

Hearing Chadite's words, Alka nodded. "Don't worry. It's mainly for confirming information and solidifying my intuition."

Hearing this, Chadite said no more and sat nearby to rest. Her task was completed; now it was up to Alka.

Alka looked at the map in his hand. It depicted the capital of the Meiniche Alliance: the City of Prosperity.

Located not far from the Vastin Imperial Capital... It's truly puzzling why the core areas of the two powers are so close to each other. This kind of idiotic setup completely baffled Alka. Just like the Vastin Imperial Capital was situated at the edge of its empire's borders, the Meiniche Alliance's capital was similarly positioned. What was even more absurd was that their two capitals were practically facing each other.

By normal ship navigation, the distance between them wouldn't exceed six days. If specialized vessels or Spell Ships were used, this time could be halved. Of course, there were other islands in between serving as buffer zones, but such proximity was still inexplicable. This was also why the Dark Energy outbreak that originated in the Vastin Imperial Capital had simultaneously swept through the Meiniche capital, paralyzing both nations. Perhaps there's some hidden connection between them, who knows? After all, the survivors from these two empires merged quite naturally and are living well outside. To say there's no link between these two nations... I wouldn't believe it.

However, the glowing spots on this map were clearly different from those on the map of the Vastin Imperial Capital. The most significant difference was the presence of blue light spots, suggesting that the Dark Energy outbreak might indeed have been the cause, eradicating the Magic Items.

He selected the most prominent pillar of light.

[Hidden Treasure]

[Difficulty: Key Bearer]

[Fame: 245]

[Treasure Information: None]

This golden light spot offered no information at all. Alka had previously studied speculations about treasures concerning the Meiniche Alliance. But clearly, those speculations were entirely wrong. If even a shred of it were true, the information wouldn't be "None." This indicated that the merchant alliance maintained a very high level of confidentiality regarding its information. Moreover, its treasures likely had the effect of diminishing the distinct characteristics of Magic Power. For instance, the mask Alka had touched caused his Magic Power to lack any strong inclination. This was unlike Jason, whose Magic Power carried a faint trace of Holy Light. From this, one could infer that the treasure Jason had touched possessed, at the very least, the Holy Light Attribute. If one knew the faction Jason belonged to, it would be possible to deduce what kind of treasures that faction possessed.
