Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 257 Human Skin Map
"Can I still drink it?"

Alka looked at Balazs in front of him. At this moment, Balazs' cheeks were red with the smell of alcohol.

Eyes are half open.

"My friend, don't be petty. Looking at me, I grew up in wine...of course, this wine is a trivial matter to me."

Listening to him start to hesitate even when speaking, it is obvious that he is not as powerful as he said.

It seems that the alcohol content in the grown-up wine is not high.

"Okay, let's have another drink." Alka said helplessly, clinking the glass with him.

After all, Balazs is not in a good mood right now, and alcohol is the easiest way to vent.

At least he's not drunk, which is nice, isn't it.

As long as you don't go crazy with alcohol, you will be drunk when you are drunk.

"Ah ~ cool!"

Balazs let out a sigh of relief, put the wine glass on the table, and leaned heavily against the wall next to him.

"It's really bad luck this time, and it's all because of those damned traitors."

"I consider myself a good captain. I have been in business for more than ten years. I have grown from a small boat of only 30 meters long to a large merchant ship of 70 meters long. My brothers and I have never treated them badly."

"In the end, those guys actually betrayed for just 382 golden sails, alas."

Leaning against the wall, he sighed heavily.

Then he looked at Alka with half-closed eyes, and asked solemnly: "Friend, I know you also hold the treasure, there are only so many quotas, and I can't help it after I finish it, can I?"

Hearing this, Alka's eyes widened slightly, and he looked around vigilantly.

This is clearly not the place to say such things.

Seeing Alka's appearance, Balazs smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax my friend, I'm just drunk and not stupid enough to be that stupid."

As he spoke, he opened the palm of his left hand, and there was a circular pattern on the palm.

A faint magical power gushes out.

On a disk-shaped object, a white stone disk carved with dense and regular patterns emerges.

It can be seen that the lines flow on it like magma, revealing a fiery red color.

Arka felt it as soon as it came out.

This is a treasure.

Then Balazs made a move that amazed Arka.

He took the treasure and threw it at the boss on the bar.

"Roccella, then, keep it for me."

The muscular, dark-skinned old man opened his one eye, raised his right hand, and caught the treasure.

Then it was thrown casually beside the bar counter, without any thought at all.

And the customers who were drinking around just raised their eyes slightly, as if they were used to it and were not interested.

"See." His expression was slightly smug, and then he bent forward slightly, and whispered next to Alka: "This is not an ordinary bar. There is a spell to change words next to every seat. No Those who own treasures will not be able to get up."

Hearing this, Alka looked at the table he was supporting, but he didn't see any difference.

Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that something is really wrong.

The words passed from the surrounding seats were indeed a bit too plain, and it always seemed like a normal chat.

Alka thought that the people who came to this bar were more civilized, so was this the reason?
And he didn't feel that there was a mechanism to detect treasures when he came up. No, what is surprising is that there should be a mechanism that can detect whether someone is carrying treasures.

And just in this tavern.

There are only more than 10 people sitting.

If so...

Terrible, because this place is obviously only visited by people who know the island well.

The treasures here are really abnormally overflowing.

The boundless sea... is really not to be underestimated.

It has to be more low-key.

Alka thought silently.

Afterwards, Balazs continued to whine while drunk.

"You may not believe it, but when I got the treasure, more than half of the quota on that treasure was used up. When I got it, I could only give enlightenment to a dozen people."

Speaking of this, he was extremely frustrated.

"Hey, I can understand them, but of course I can't help it. Every quota for enlightenment is so precious. I have tried my best to provide quotas for those friends who have followed me along the way, but it is still not enough."

Having said that, he poured himself another glass and took a sip on his own.

Truth be told, Arka couldn't empathize with that.

He didn't feel that the number of revelations was so precious, it would be better to say that there were too many.

They now have a total of 6 people on board who control the treasure.

Except for people like Jason who hold living "treasures" and Lucilia's special treasure person.

The remaining 4 people hold 5 treasures in their hands, and the combined quota is more than 600, close to 700.

The quota of treasures held by each of them has almost never been used, and even those who have used the quota have long since died.

In the sea of ​​homes, there are less than 20 enlightened people.

I don't know how to use so many places, how do you make him empathize.

Although he couldn't empathize, Alka could understand.

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

And the later you are enlightened, the bigger the gap will be opened, and the mentality will naturally become more anxious.

Seeing that Balazs seemed to have finished complaining, he leaned against the wall and drank his wine contentedly.

Alka said suddenly: "Speaking of which, before leaving this time, we encountered an interesting thing."

"Oh?" Balazs turned his head and showed curiosity.

What interesting things can you meet on the Broken Isle?
"You didn't come this time, so I don't know. A pirate group landed on the island, and the target came straight for us."

"According to the information we obtained through interrogation, it is said that some valuables were included in your shipment, which is different from the past, but I think this is obviously not enough to make them spend a lot of trouble.

Perhaps some of your crew has provided information that should not have been provided. "

Hearing Alka's words, Balazs frowned tightly.

"The pirate group... Among the betrayers, there is indeed one person who colluded with a group of pirates. Does their captain have a scar from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth?"

Alka nodded, the captain he killed did have such characteristics.

"Bone Pirates, some cowardly scumbags with no great abilities."

"Sorry for putting you in danger because of our problems." Balazs sincerely apologized.

Alka waved his hand to signal that he didn't care.

"It didn't cause any danger, don't worry about it."

Except for the leader Alka who put a little thought into it, the other pirate members are simply rubbish.

At this moment, Balazs suddenly thought of something.

Slowly raising his hand, the pocket ring shimmered.

A half map made of human skin appeared in his hand.

"Then did you get the map from him?"

Look at this map.

Alka didn't expect the other half to be with Balazs.

What a coincidence.

Another half sheet also appeared in the hand.

Looking at the map, Balazs was a little surprised, and said with a smile, "It's really interesting."

Then he explained: "The reason why the traitor wants to have contact with this pirate group is because the leader of the pirate group has taken a fancy to the half of the map in my hand."

"I didn't pay attention to it at first, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Alka listened, drinking slightly, tapping his fingers on the human skin map.

At this time, the map was facing up, and the front was covered by Alka on the table.

The atmosphere between the two became slightly quieter.

Balazs seemed to have woken up from the alcohol and was thinking about something.

"So friends, are you interested in cooperating?"

Pushed the map over and said.

Alka looked at him, and asked directly: "If you don't mind, would you like to tell me a little bit about this map?"

As he spoke, Alka turned his own map over and put it together with the map he pushed over.

Seeing Alka's sincere actions, Balazs didn't hide anything anymore and said, "This human skin map was peeled off from the body of a pirate group leader 20 years ago.

He is quite famous in the Broken Sea around Southern Cross Island, but he is also an equal scum, specializing in robbing merchant ships and immigrants on some islands, but this also makes him amazingly rich. "

"Careful and cruel, in order not to expose his whereabouts, he often destroys the entire ship and sinks it into the sea, causing countless killings."

"After he was caught, he refused to say where he hid the treasure until he died. What is interesting is that he has tattoos all over his body."

"After his death, two pieces of skin were inexplicably missing from his body, in different positions."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two human skin maps on the table.

It can be clearly seen that although the map is spliced ​​together, there are obvious differences in the drawing and skin color, and the texture.

Obviously not in one area.

"One of the skin maps, when I got this treasure, came with a bonus.

I used to care about it, but then I really didn't know where the other half of the skin was, so I gave up. "

"These wealth may be able to make up for my losses, and even make my chamber of commerce go further."

Balazs looked at Alka, waiting for his answer.

But he felt that Alka would not refuse.

After all, they are a treasure hunting group, aren't they?

Alka seemed to be in deep thought as he tapped his fingers lightly on the map.

In fact, he already knew the location of the treasure on the map by blinking.

There are very few spots.

According to the saying, the golden beam of light must be more than just a treasure.

There are sure to be many extra riches that come with it.

And the place where he struck was the golden point.

【Blood Secret Treasure】

[Difficulty: Seeker (Three Stages)]

【Famousness: 8.6】

[Treasure information: The treasure hidden by a scum pirate is his life's harvest, and it is also ill-gotten wealth, stained with the blood and souls of innocent people.

The treasure was hidden in an unexpected place, a place safe enough that only he knew. 】

Since it is golden light, Alka must go there.

The problem is that he doesn't have enough information.

He didn't even know the pirate's name.

And most importantly, he didn't know which island the map pointed to.

Because even if the two maps are put together, the map drawn on it is just an area, and they don't even know the shape of an island.

The golden light spots are clearly marked in a very detailed area.

If there is no point, it is impossible to see anything from this map.

As for the unexpected places mentioned on the treasure, they are all clearly marked, so what if it is unexpected?
The only thing to care about is where the island is.

Cooperation is inevitable.

Otherwise, Alka and the others would have to waste a lot of time just collecting information. Why not cooperate with Balazs, who has been working on Southern Cross Island for more than ten years.

"How are the treasures distributed?" Alka asked suddenly.

Listening to Alka's words meant that he agreed, and a smile appeared on Balazs' face.

To be honest, if he was asked to search alone, he really didn't have the ability.

Because even if the two maps are put together, he still can't understand what this thing is.

Because it is all lines, there is no telling where the treasure is buried.

This map is worse than nothing.

But Alka and the others are a treasure hunting group, no matter what they are, they are much more professional than themselves.

"You are professionals, do you have any suggestions?"

Alka tapped on the table.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Both sides send their own people, and they will be distributed according to the contributions of both parties. The party with the highest contribution will take priority."

Hearing this plan, Balazs pondered for a while.

This plan sounds very fair. According to the least contribution, Balazs alone has a combat force, plus he provides half of the map.

His contribution on this side is not too low.

He thought that in the process of treasure hunting, he would definitely not be able to play a big role, at most he would act as a thug and provide some information he could obtain.

He can't do anything else.

He has this self-knowledge.

But he was also afraid that there might be treasures in the wealth that he didn't understand. After all, he was just a businessman, not an appraisal expert or an archaeologist.

Not so good eyesight, especially when it comes to finding treasures.

As we all know, treasures are reserved.

If you don't take it and inject some magic power into it, you don't even know that this thing is a treasure.

He was afraid of missing something here.

The appearance of some treasures is really earthy enough.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Yes, but the two parties must not conceal the value of the known treasure, and can sign a god contract."

Sure enough, it was impossible to bluff.

They are all smart.

Alka felt a little regretful, he was able to clearly see the frame of the treasure when he was holding it, and knew it was the ability of a treasure.

But obviously others are not stupid.

Nodded: "No problem."

He still has the confidence to take most of the contribution, and then take that treasure.

The big deal is to give him all the remaining wealth.

"Okay, happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

The two held hands together and smiled at the same time.

Then each put their own map into their pocket rings.

"I'll settle the matter on my side first, some troubles may take five or six days and nights.

When the time comes, we will meet here, and no matter how specific the discussions are, I will sort out the information I know during this period. "

Hearing what Balazs said, Arka nodded: "No problem, I just happen to be very interested in this island."

After the two chatted, a bell rang outside.

Hearing the chime, Balazs looked up out of the window, and said, "The bell will ring an hour before night, and it will also ring at day."

Hearing this, Alka nodded.

That is to say, there must be some ability or props that can know the arrival of night and day in advance.

The two left their seats.

Balazs took the treasure on the bar and greeted the boss.

The two walked down together.

At the door of Balazs' shop.

"I've been drinking for so long, how time flies." Alka looked at the pedestrians on the street and thought silently.

He stretched fiercely.

Return to the port.

Even though night was coming, there was no change in the surroundings.

However, some figures with helmets and rock-shaking rifles appeared on the street.

They wore brown-gray clothes, and the cross star on their chest represented the local forces they belonged to here.

One of them was not carrying a weapon, but was walking along the side of the road with a long metal stick.

Come to a street lamp, lift the long metal rod, and pass it through a hole under the lampshade of the street lamp.

Wei Wei's magic power poured into the metal stick from his hand.

Light the street lamps.

Then a pale flame ignited in the lampshade, and the lampshade seemed to be able to amplify the light.

Is that how it was lit?
Alka thought it would light up by itself, the scenery is quite interesting.

After watching for a while, Alka quickened his pace.

When he came to the port again, it was still noisy.

However, with the sound of the bell, the number of busy laborers on the port decreased a lot, and there was also a noisy sound from the tavern at the entrance of the street.

Food stalls pushed by wooden carts are also rolled out like squares.

Some hungry laborers began to buy food from above.

Alka tilted his head to look, and the bread-like food looked pretty good.

It seems that in the boundless sea, food does not seem to be too difficult to obtain.

He didn't even see some emaciated, hungry people on this island.

But the scenery is unusually full of fireworks.

Involuntarily slowed down his pace.

Looking at the way these laborers are working, watching some housewives delivering meals with lunch boxes.

Taking advantage of this labor gap.

Some workers squatted next to them and had a temporary tenderness with their families for a while.

"Let it go, sir."

A man with a cargo on his back spoke from behind Alka.

Alka immediately turned his body to get out of the way, and subconsciously said, "I'm sorry."

His apology surprised the laborer who carried the goods, but he nodded and left quickly.

After a while the sky was covered by a curtain.

The bright sky immediately darkened.

But there are many twinkling stars and shimmering stars in the night sky today, which makes the night tonight seem not dark.
