Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Chapter 213: Chapter 154: The True World Map_2

Alka nodded without hesitation.

”The first two conditions are indeed urgent for me, that I understand. But it’s the reward after obtaining the Treasure that I don’t understand.”

”There’s nothing difficult to understand; it’s quite easy to comprehend.”

The Archbishop smiled and began to explain to Alka.

”When you touched the [Mirror Surface], you obtained a Spell, right?”

[Mirror Surface]? That must be the Treasure I used when I became a toucher.

Very fitting. A mirror mask?

Alka nodded at this thought. There was nothing to hide, as many people knew.

”You’re very lucky. This is an opportunity, and I’m willing to give you such an opportunity.”

”The Spell you obtained from the [Mirror Surface], acquired from your initial contact as a toucher, is either a Core Spell or an extension of its power.”

”In any case, these are important expansions of the Treasure’s abilities, representing one of its powers.”

Listening to the Archbishop’s explanation, Alka nodded seriously.

”And the first Treasure you obtained—you are able to own it and master it perfectly, right?”

Alka nodded. He was indeed able to grasp the Dream Catcher without sensing any rejection.

Does this mean rejection would normally occur?

That was unexpected.

Hearing the Archbishop’s words, could it be...

”I believe you noticed this when I said it. Indeed, you have learned a unique Spell from a Treasure, and it hasn’t caused any rejection between you and that Treasure.”

”This means that the [Mirror Surface] and the Treasure in your hand won’t reject each other. At the very least, they can coexist peacefully; even better, they might complement each other.”

”Plus, you obtained a Spell from the [Mirror Surface]. Not owning it would be a real pity, so I’m willing to give you this opportunity.”

Hearing this, there’s no need for me to hesitate.

The so-called ’exchange of equal value’ must mean I’d use the banner I possess, or perhaps other Treasures of a similar tier, to trade for it.

Trading something unusable for something I can use is definitely a good deal for me.

It wouldn’t be a loss for the Church either. Their willingness to make this exchange is a significant favor.

However, Alka still said, ”I need to return and discuss this with my teammates before giving you an accurate response.”

”Haha, of course, of course, no problem.”

”If you wish to accept, just tell Gami, Bobby, or Andre.”

Saying this, the Archbishop stood up and left with a smile.

Alka pondered this all the way back to Bobby’s villa.

”Alka, you’re back! How was it? Did you get the information you wanted?”

Upon hearing Jason’s voice in the living room, Alka looked at him and nodded.

”I learned some things, but it only led to more questions. Let’s have a meeting tonight when everyone is here.”

”Alright, no problem. The others will be back soon.”

Alka sat on the sofa, chatting casually with him.

「Near dusk.」

Everyone had returned. Even Bobby and Andre had arrived at the villa.

However, they didn’t disturb Alka’s group during their gathering, nor did they intend to eavesdrop.

Only Alka and his companions remained in the living room.

”Let’s first plan what we need to do next,” Alka began, ”then I’ll tell you about some information I discussed with the Archbishop today.”

”Firstly, we need a suitable shipyard to repair or even modify the Music Ship. This also requires considerable funds.”

Saying this, Alka nodded at Chadite, ”For now, Chadite will be responsible for handling the funds. Once those Treasures are sold off, the funds obtained will definitely be sufficient. It will be a substantial fortune.”

”Next, we need to find a way to leave the boundary of this sea area and seek out Julia and Lucilia’s hometown to take a look.”

”Sea boundary? Julia and Lucilia’s hometown?” Jason, next to them, looked baffled, completely unaware of what they were talking about.

Upon hearing Jason’s puzzled words, everyone looked at him.

It was then Alka realized they hadn’t actually told Jason anything about Julia and Lucilia.

It’s not surprising Jason wasn’t fazed by a doll that could run and jump. This is the Realm of Pitch Darkness, after all; strange things appearing is quite normal.

I’ve even obtained a Treasure, so how could something like that possibly seem strange to him?

Thinking of this, Alka quickly explained the situation to him.

”What? That doll is a human soul? Julia is a Mermaid? Mermaids actually exist?”

Now Jason had even more questions.

He stood up abruptly, bewildered, looking at the doll on Alka’s shoulder and then at Julia, who sat nearby smiling at him.

Then he sank back into his seat.

Holding his head in his hands, his eyes filled with confusion, his mind tirelessly pondering the various pieces of information.

He muttered to himself, ”The world is truly confusing. So what exactly did I miss?”

Jason already regretted boarding Gami’s ship back then. He thought he should have jumped off with Alka and the others on the other side.

Although there would have been great danger, at least he could have personally experienced these intriguing events, rather than now, after everything had happened, just having others tell him about it.

He could only nod in confusion.
