"Jason, what are you thinking about?"
A golden and green ship with a picture of the Church of Our Lady hanging on it, Jason was lying on the side of the ship looking at the dark sea around him.
Hearing the voice behind him, he turned his head.
It was the captain of this ship.
"I'm wondering how Alka and the others are doing."
Hearing Jason's words, the middle-aged man stood there and couldn't help saying, "I think they should be fine, you don't need to worry too much about them."
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, Jason waved his hand and said with a light tone, "I'm not worried about their safety, I'm worried that their strength is improving too fast. If I'm too weak when I see them, I'll definitely be laughed at."
"Hahahaha, then you have to work hard."
Jason smiled, and then said helplessly, "Why don't Alka and the others use the Sword of Mercy?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged church knight could only shrug helplessly, indicating that he couldn't understand it either.
He has been floating in this ghost place for half a year, and he really hasn't waited for Alka to use the holy sword to let them accurately locate.
It has also been nearly half a year since the attack and capture of the Prayer for the Dead Pirates.
In the first few months, they really completely blocked the pirate group in the Dark Realm, and almost starved the pirates to death.
After all, the Prayer for the Dead Pirates is not a small pirate group, but a fleet composed of several large ships and many escort ships.
Some small countries' naval forces may not have as many as them.
The total number of pirates reached more than 3,000, and the supplies consumed every day were not a small number.
In addition, they deliberately ambushed and set traps, and almost destroyed the flagship of the Prayer for the Dead.
In the end, it slipped away, but at least two large ships of the pirate group were destroyed, and at least 600 pirates were killed.
Since then, the range of activities of the Prayer for the Dead has been dispersed, and they rely on [Sound Bird] to communicate with each other.
This method of communication is intercepted by the church's ships from time to time.
The flagship is said to have penetrated deeper into the central area, and less than half of the pirates are active in the central area.
The remaining pirates are scattered in the periphery, attracting the attention of the church.
In addition, in order to muddy the waters, this group of pirates also spread rumors.
It is said that they found traces of treasures in the Dark Realm, which is why the Prayer for the Dead Pirates and the Holy Mother Church are fighting each other in it.
The topic, which originally had a slight possibility, became more credible after the two sides fought.
This attracted countless people to move towards the Dark Realm.
There are countless pirates and treasure hunting groups who dream of making a fortune.
On the contrary, those large forces knew the reason, so they did not end up.
But it must be said that it was precisely because of the arrival of these mixed people that the church had to slow down the encirclement and annihilation of the Prayer for the Dead Pirates.
But it is a huge force after all. Even so, most of the ships and crew of the Prayer Pirates were cleared out during their escape in the Dark Realm.
Even if they successfully escaped and returned to their former pirate nest, they would have to spend a lot of time to recover.
There is no way, as long as the pirate captain who holds the treasure is not dead, this pirate group can always revive.
From these crew members, they also learned a lot about Alka and others.
Including the death of Sankaka, Andre was captured and imprisoned on the flagship.
There are a total of three people on Alka's side, fighting with them in the Dark Realm, and they also know that their target is not the Holy Sword at all, but Alka himself.
This also led to a change in the church's course of action.
From sending countless ships to surround and explore with a small team, it was changed to sending several elite teams to go deep into the central area of the Dark Realm.
While fighting the pirates, they searched for Alka and his men, and reduced the number of troops chasing Alka and his men.
From various fragmented information, they also learned how strong the resilience of the two young men in the treasure hunting group and the fishman who came from nowhere was.
This also led to many treasure hunting groups and pirates starting to move in the center of the dark area.
It seems that they have determined that there are treasures here.
Of course, from Alka's perspective, there are really treasures here.
…
After eating and drinking, Alka quietly began to meditate in the corner of the floor, striving to break through his strength to the second spiral within two days.
Since Sofia became an explorer earlier than Alka and had been in the first spiral for a year, he had entered the second spiral a month ago with the help of meditation.
As for Alka, although he lags behind Sofia, it is because he came into contact with extraordinary power later.
Thanks to his meditation speed which was obviously faster than that of ordinary people, he quickly caught up.
As for the pirates who were already wandering in the surrounding waters, they did not bring much pressure to Alka or Sofia.
Because after entering the central area, his father could only vaguely feel where Alka was, and it would be interrupted from time to time.
This was slightly verified by them.
This caused his father's tracking advantage using this blood connection method to drop significantly.
Even if they were in the surrounding waters, they would have to wait for a long time to find Alka unless they were lucky.
Not to mention, because of the invasion of darkness, these pirates had to return to the edge and the outside world to rest frequently.
Even if they were numerous and powerful, they still couldn't do anything to Alka and the other two.
However, Alka recently discovered that more and more strange ships and forces appeared in the central area.
These people were obviously not coming for him, but Alka had never dealt with them, so he didn't know why they came here.
But these were all good things. The more people there were, the easier it would be for them to hide.
I didn't know if it was late at night or dawn.
Porro was swimming on the sea, keeping alert while training.
Sofia was painting by the stove, and from time to time he looked at Alka who was breaking through, to prevent problems from being suddenly invaded by darkness during this period.
In addition to the two people in the room, there was also a Gothic loli doll the size of a palm, walking around the room, flipping here and bumping there.
Finally, she even came to the stove, and her head twitched and she wanted to reach out to feel the temperature inside.
Seeing this situation, Sofia immediately reached out and pushed her back.
Then he said helplessly: "Lucilia, you are now a doll body, don't touch the fire, it will damage your body."
Lucilia, the doll standing on the ground and looking up at Sofia's words, opened her hands and shook them twice, then ran away directly.
Watching Lusilia run away, her attention quickly turned to other places, holding a stone and throwing it around.
Sofia supported his forehead helplessly.
She really couldn't understand.
Lucilia, who looked so elegant and beautiful in her soul state, also exuded a fascinating erudition.
Why did she seem to become a different person once she got into the doll's body.
It was like a child who was curious about everything.
Sometimes she would do slightly dangerous things, such as touching fire, drilling holes, and even jumping from a height.
She even asked Alka to make her a small glider to fly.
However, Sofia has become familiar with Lucilia's existence and some of her situation in the past six months.
The body of this doll was restored by Alka with materials he had collected some time ago.
Lucilia can stay in this doll for an hour every day, which is the limit of her daily exercise.
But it seems that the time she can stay in it has increased recently.
At this time, Lucilia, who was running around and playing strange games, suddenly felt something.
The two legs quickly stepped up. Although her body was too small, her movements were extremely agile.
After a few runs, she came to Alka who was meditating.
Seeing this, Sofia also raised his head.
A faint magic burst out from Alka's body, and then the magic in the surrounding air began to flow into Alka's body as if attracted by something.
Seeing this situation and feeling the change of magic in the surrounding air, Sofia couldn't help but smile.
This means that Alka has officially completed the breakthrough and constructed the second magic spiral circuit in his body.
Alka opened his eyes and panted heavily. A towel appeared in his hand and wiped the sweat on his head.
Meditation will accelerate the consumption of physical strength, especially breakthroughs.
The doll at his feet jumped directly onto Alka, climbed a few times and came to his shoulders, and then jumped off his shoulders.
Alka skillfully closed his hands and caught the doll that fell from his shoulders.
He said with a smile: "Finally, my strength has reached the second spiral."
"Let's learn mental protection first." Sofia said with a smile, then sat down again and continued his drawing work.
After Alka rested for a while, the doll fell down in his hand, and Lusilia's soul went directly into the magic mirror to rest.
Every time Lusilia must play until she is exhausted and can't control the doll's body, then she will come out to rest.
He cleaned up the fallen doll and hung it around his waist, and the fish skin that had been dried and made into materials appeared in his hand.
Holding the fish skin, he closed his eyes and began to comprehend [mental protection].
The black breath in the fish skin surrounded him, and then poured into Alka's body.
Alka, with his eyes closed, made a popping sound from his mouth, like a fish spitting bubbles.
Such behavior may allow him to resonate with the material quickly and accelerate his learning of the spell.
According to Lucilia, the resonance method of spell materials such as fish skin or fish bones is used to imitate some behaviors of fish.
Lucililia didn't know about this material, so she could only try this stupid method.
The method Sofia used before was to imagine himself as a fish in his mind, but it didn't work.
Imitating spitting bubbles also didn't work, so Alka had to follow the steps and use the spell materials in the most normal and ordinary way.
As time passed.
Alka successfully learned the spell of mental protection, and the original fish skin became translucent and was crushed into pieces by Alka.
After simply becoming proficient in the spell of mental protection, he directly opened it and let it hang next to a circuit in his body.
When this spell is hung next to one of the circuits, it will absorb the magic power in the circuit, and even if Alka doesn't deliberately open it, it will automatically start to use it.
In this way, the spell becomes permanent, protecting his spirit at any time.
Since there are two spirals in his body, Alka also hangs [Dark Vision] next to the circuit.
In this way, he no longer needs to use it deliberately and spend more magic power to maintain dark vision.
The eyes can naturally see the situation in the dark.
Of course, not all spells can be permanent in this way, which requires meeting various conditions.
There are also certain requirements for the spell itself and personal strength.
