Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Of course, the actual situation is much stronger than the Three Spirals, fundamentally not on the same scale. However, the gap brought by the two Treasures is even more mismatched. Perhaps only an Eight Spirals or even a Nine Spirals at the Second Stage could pose a life-threatening danger to Alka, and that's assuming Alka is unfamiliar with the Treasures. Proficiency with Treasures doesn't just mean grasping them. It means deep development and utilization. This all requires long-term extensive training and practice, and it's also related to one's strength. A First Stage Three Spirals barely meets the minimum requirement to master a Treasure. Even if one isn't at this Level, the Treasure's Energy can forcibly elevate them to this point. At most, what kind of power from the Treasure could they exert then?

"Also, I gathered some interesting intelligence on the island. How about it? Want to know?"

Jason's words pulled Alka's thoughts back to reality. Looking at Jason, Alka asked curiously, "Intelligence? What kind of intelligence?"

When it came to gathering intelligence, Jason was naturally the most efficient one among them. After all, in the Treasure Hunting Team, this was precisely what Jason did. Since he entered this field, he had been collecting and analyzing intelligence. However, sometimes when searching for Treasures, Alka knew more due to his 'golden finger.' But once it was unrelated to Treasures and there was no map, Alka was definitely not as good as Jason. Meanwhile, Jason's ability to collect and analyze intelligence was also crucial to Alka.

At this point, Jason slowly said, "You know, most of the people who come here remarkably don't know the specific situation of the Endless Sea. There are even many ordinary people on their ships. The configuration of these ships is truly complete, not just the vessels themselves, but also the personnel on board. None of the surrounding ships are less than 40 meters long; all can be considered large. Most ships have over 50 crew members, with some having as many as over 200. For a Spell Ship, that's evidently too many, but after all, where they're headed is unknown, so naturally, they're thoroughly prepared."

"Of course, the more crucial reason is that not every team is a Treasure Hunting Team. Generally, only a Treasure Hunting Team has a sparse crew because adding one more person means dividing the Treasures into smaller shares. Many hired groups, Knight Orders, and ships from certain factions don't have such worries. Their objectives aren't related to treasure hunting, so naturally, they have many more people."

As for being completely unaware of information about the outside world...

This seemed a bit absurd to Alka and his team because they had found out about the outside world from the very start through that book. The first paragraph clearly stated that the Endless Sea was not suited for ordinary people, as the violent Magic Power there would cause severe problems for those whose internal Circuits weren't activated. Moreover, the Archbishop had affirmed this book, and it was credible. Upon reading this, Alka had initially thought the Endless Sea might be sparsely populated. However, after finishing the book, he realized that wasn't the case.

The Races born in the Endless Sea grow up from a young age in violent areas, with no dormant Magic Power within them. It has always been active but requires protection and stimulation to be more easily controlled. But the book also clearly states that in the Endless Sea, if one has high enough talent, they can harness their internal Magic Power even without the stimulation of Treasures, becoming a Toucher. This is because humans have very strong adaptability to environments and change according to them. This speed of change can take merely hundreds of years. To an individual, this is a long time, but to a Race, it's short. This results in people living in the Endless Sea never having dormant Magic Power from birth. Only those like them, living in tranquil places under the domain of the gods, experience this situation.

The violent Magic Power, unlike Treasures, doesn't provide a one-time stimulation that directly guides. Instead, it's more like a dull knife slicing flesh, continuously grinding away. Some people with strong physiques coming from these domains to the Endless Sea might seize the opportunity to activate their internal Magic Power without Treasures. However, most will lose their lives in the process. Thus, bringing ordinary people to the Endless Sea is unquestionably leading them to their deaths.

Upon hearing this news, Alka furrowed his brows. It seems their book is quite valuable, and they possess much more intelligence than the others present.

After some consideration, Alka said, "Spread this intelligence. There's still over a week before departure. Whether they believe it or not is their business."

I can't believe these people don't even have such basic intelligence; they're truly sailing toward the unknown, just like the author of that book. In terms of courage to face the unknown, it seems I don't quite match up to them. If it weren't for having some understanding of the Endless Sea, I wouldn't have thought of going there.

Jason nodded in agreement with Alka's words. "No problem, I'll spread the news right away."

Most people on the ship more or less had faith in the Holy Mother; some even hailed from the Holy Mother Church. Even Alka, whose faith wasn't particularly high, had once been a person from a civilized society. So, no one opposed Alka's decision.

After speaking, Jason looked at Pororo.

"What?" Pororo asked.

"Carry me to the island, would you?"

"No! You think I'm a ship?" Pororo waved his hand, seriously refusing.

"Come on! Using the Swallow Ship is quite troublesome. Just carry me this short distance."

"Your egg is too annoying! The waves it emits are very prickly, you know?"

Pororo was talking about Jason's egg, the one that had been protected in a box before. The egg constantly hung in Jason's hood, part of an outfit Jason had prepared especially for it. With Jason's care, the egg became more and more radiant, even occasionally emitting Magic Power waves. But sometimes, those waves were extremely prickly, like being pricked by needles. This was especially true for Pororo, who seemed very sensitive to this kind of Energy wave. So, he refused.

Alka laughed from the side. So, what kind of creature is inside this egg?

Alka, who was compiling the Monster Atlas with Lucilia, was very curious about this.
