Chapter 1104 - 450: All-Out Assault
The group returned to Giant Stone Port, and dragged their boats ashore, clearly intending to stay here for a long time.Sound of Dawn couldn’t just be left at the port, taking up space while feeling a bit wronged.
They dragged it ashore, found a nice secluded warehouse, and stored the Sound of Dawn there, conveniently using it as their temporary residence at the Giant Stone Fortress.
Then they made brief modifications to the rented warehouse, such as quietly removing the ceiling.
They replaced it with a movable ceiling.
Now, the Sound of Dawn was not just a ship but also considered a living tree.
Whether in rainy weather or good weather, basking in sunlight and rain would make the Sound of Dawn happy.
After their return, they had a meal, rested for a day, and then...
Alka and the others gathered once more in the captain’s room.
Looking at everyone, Alka said, "This time our mission is to find information about these three things."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a mirror appeared on the table, displaying some information.
Alka also began explaining according to this information.
"[Cursed Sword] was a sword-shaped treasure once used by a military noble family of the Saralan Empire, and also the name of a general.
By the way, their family’s current descendant is head of the Demon Hunting Fortress and the demon hunters, the Demon Hunter Judge—Grefar.
Try to gather information about this, ideally finding out who last possessed the sword.
[Lighthouse] is a landmark of the previous Saralan Empire, symbolizing the empire’s future and the path of eternal hope. This building likely hasn’t been destroyed but hidden instead.
But we haven’t seen any information about the building since, so it’s a priority for information gathering, though there’s no rush.
[Moon Worship Sect] is a name I vaguely recall, seems to be a cult that disappeared 300 years ago, though it didn’t seem to do anything bad. While you’re at it, gather information about this name.
You might not find much information on this sect, but you can ask the island’s residents about any similar information channels or legends."
These names represent one red crown-level treasure and two orange scepter-level treasures.
They are all necessary now, and getting them would be useful regardless of fit. Because whether they’re for trade or exchange later, they fit perfectly.
After hearing Alka’s words, the group nodded.
Gathering relevant information doesn’t have to be on the ship; Giant Stone Port’s taverns, libraries, and even places where the church gathers could yield results.
Simon can absolutely leverage his status to seek information documents within the Holy Machine Church, or even directly inquire from those possibly informed.
After talking, Alka seemed to think of something else and added, "Also, there’s no harm in understanding various aspects of the Saralan Empire. Better safe than sorry.
Remember to compile the important information into various key terms for review. I’ll need to see it later."
This is Alka’s method; often the simplest, most basic information stems from various terms.
Alka doesn’t even need these terms to represent anything; just knowing them could lead to critical information.
The most basic treasure information is simply an introduction to the treasure’s possibilities and related information for Alka.
It’s unclear how helpful it might be in the actual treasure hunt, but it doesn’t provide a vague direction for Alka.
All treasure information originates this way, through the expansion of a word or several words.
Merely remembering these words could be key for Alka to comprehend all treasure information.
After all, he couldn’t keep all information in his mind.
After listening to Alka, the group seemed to have defined goals.
Now it was just a matter of taking action.
"Then for the next month or two, let’s stay here, collect as much information as possible, and think about what to do next."
The group stood up, ready for action, and Alka patted Chadite on the shoulder, saying, "Chadite, make sure to gather some maps; surely there are some detailed maps of the island."
Chadite nodded, "There’ll definitely be maps here, especially since wars happen often.
But there might also be many discarded maps."
Such maps are useful, but Chadite knows Alka has high standards for map accuracy.
Maps can be rough but must be accurate.
"Indeed, also encourage the Vastva people to get more involved here; it’s still a decent place."
After all, a diverse crowd mixes here; various human subtypes can be found. Compared to them, the Vastva’s appearance is actually inconspicuous.
Of course, that’s referring to the slightly degraded current Vastva people; previously, they were quite noticeable.
However, the current Vastva appearance likely can’t return to its former state, as their previous appearance stemmed from Divine blessings and treasure endowments.
