Early morning.
The sun was shining brightly.
The spell ship they were on was not satisfactory in every aspect, and the cabin they lived in could not isolate the smell from outside.
In the strong smell of sulfur, Alka woke up from his bed.
The ticking sound of the clock at the head of the bed.
Alka turned his head and looked.
After making sure that he did not get up late, he got up, washed up, and left the captain's room.
As soon as he came outside, he heard beautiful singing.
At the bow, Julia was singing to the sea.
She seemed to have let go recently, and she was rarely seen singing before.
Under the ship, many sea fish were gathering there, looking up at Julia above.
Alka did not disturb them and walked towards the cabin below the deck.
The doll on the waist suddenly moved, changed into Lucilia's appearance, and clung to Alka's shoulder.
She also stretched.
"Does the soul sleep?" Alka couldn't help asking as he watched Lucilia stretch.
"No, but I need to rest."
It's mainly because I have to control the doll, and this body will make the soul feel like tired.
I need to rest in the magic mirror.
At this time, Alka smelled a fragrance in the air.
It came from the restaurant.
Following the fragrance, Alka came to the restaurant on the ship. Jason was learning something in the kitchen at this time, and he could hear Juanlu's guidance.
After all, there was only this stranger on the ship, and although his voice was different from yesterday's, there were still similarities.
From his voice, it can be heard that he seemed to have recovered a lot, and he was no longer as hoarse and weak as yesterday.
When the two came out of the kitchen, Alka froze in place. Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, fell down in shock.
Alka came back to his senses and quickly raised his hand to catch her.
"You are..."
Looking at the man in front of him, a bald middle-aged strong man in his thirties or forties.
A stranger came on the boat, this was his first reaction.
But Alka had already vaguely guessed that this person should be Juanlu, who they rescued yesterday.
The problem is that the change is a bit too exaggerated, which makes the two people unconvinced from the bottom of their hearts.
Although Juanlu still has some bandages and wound treatment marks on his body, he has improved a lot compared to yesterday. And compared to yesterday's stick-like figure, today he has become a muscular strong man.
If it weren't for the height and voice, it would be difficult for you to regard him and the stranded person yesterday as the same person.
The main reason is that he recovered too quickly, beyond Alka's imagination.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the two, Jason smiled gloatingly beside him, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Haha, didn't expect it, I was scared this morning."
Jason temporarily took over the position of chef on the ship, so he would get up a little earlier in the morning to make breakfast.
However, when he came down, he found a figure he had never seen before in the kitchen and almost fought with him.
Fortunately, the strong man quickly explained that he was Juanlu.
Juanlu stretched out his hand, scratched his forehead, and said helplessly: "It seems that my change really scared you."
The fragrance was still spreading from the kitchen.
The voices of Sofia and others came from behind.
Several people followed the smell to the interior of the cabin.
Looking at the strong man in front of him, Sofia blurted out: "Who is this?"
Sure enough, everyone showed the same doubt.
Alka waved his hand, indicating that he would talk later.
Everyone came to the table next to them and sat down.
Juanlu then said: "This is the unique physique of our family, which comes from the treasures that our ancestors once mastered."
"Eating can strengthen our strength, recover our injuries, and our appetite is also very good."
Didn't expect Juanlu to have such a physique? It sounds quite powerful.
This special physique is not uncommon in families that master treasures.
It has been said before.
Human physique and the decline of magic power in their bodies are very easily affected by the surrounding environment.
The advantage is that they can easily adapt to the surrounding environment, but the disadvantage is that they are also very easily affected by high-energy objects or harsh environments.
For example, in the Dark Realm, if you stay in the Dark Prison for a long time, especially if you reproduce in it, newborn children are likely to have physical abilities related to the dark element.
Of course, this requires a long period of survival.
But it is hard to say whether these two aspects are good or bad if you think about it carefully.
In an already harsh environment, they will change themselves to adapt to the environment, which may cause various problems in their physique, but at least they can survive.
But if they have treasures, then such changes will be very rapid, and most of them are positive and good changes.
Especially if it is a family unit, one or two generations can show obvious physical changes.
The most typical example is the frost bloodline they have known before.
According to records, this family has mastered the frost nova for more than 200 years, but it has only reproduced a few generations in more than 200 years, which has led to the appearance of frost-related bloodlines in their descendants.
Let the descendants of the entire race have peculiar bloodline abilities, which is the change brought by the treasure.
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, to activate the magic fall in the body and become a toucher.
Otherwise, this bloodline will not bring any powerful abilities, at most it will make the physique stronger.
This is only at the Holy Grail level.
Of course, if you are away from the treasure for too long, such special abilities will gradually fade in the bloodline of the descendants, until they become ordinary people again after hundreds of years.
I don't know what kind of treasure can bring such special abilities to Juanlu's family.
However, we can also reverse through such physical abilities and guess what abilities the treasures in this family may have.
It's similar to guessing what treasures these forces have in the Dark Realm before.
Knowing Juanlu's changes, everyone nodded in understanding.
At this time, Jason got up and entered the kitchen, picked up a large dinner plate and walked out, and put it on the dining table.
"It smells so good, we were just attracted by this fragrance." Julia said, covering her mouth and laughing.
Juanlu's matter diverted their attention.
At this time, this breakfast was just some vegetables and meat slices in the bread, like a sandwich, but the aroma was so attractive.
It made people's appetites strong.
Aka took the sandwich in his hand and looked at it, then glanced at Jason and said: "This thing must not be made by you? You don't have the ability."
Hearing this, Jason quickly retorted: "How is it possible, this is what I made, but... with a little help from Juanlu."
Looking at Jason's index finger and thumb, he made a small gesture.
Sofia couldn't help but complain beside him: "Your little thing, I'm afraid it can fit a ship."
After a few jokes, everyone took a bite, and the deliciousness burst out in their mouths. This thing was so delicious that Alka couldn't help but burst into tears.
There was no way. Considering the abilities of the people on the boat, he hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time, and he was somewhat moved.
Every time at this time, he would miss Uncle Matt who was on the boat.
But it must be said that even if it was just the dishes that Jason made with the help of Juanlu, they had already reached the level of Uncle Matt.
It is conceivable how high Juanlu's level is.
Eating this delicious food.
Alka noticed the eyes of several people next to him.
Of course, Jason was not in this look, he was fiercely destroying the sandwich in his hand.
Turning his head to look at the crowd, looking at the information conveyed in their eyes, it seemed that they couldn't help it.
Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but smile, and he could understand it, because he thought so too.
These people conveyed only one meaning.
Find a way to keep Juanlu.
A voyage on the sea requires such a gourmet.
And this gourmet, with just a little effort, has already conquered them.
"It's really delicious. Juanlu, your cooking skills must have reached the pinnacle."
Alka didn't understand, so he just said something casually.
Hearing this, Juanlu shook his head seriously, and couldn't help but sighed and said: "No, I'm still far away. I'm still exploring the road to the top."
Hearing this, Sofia next to him glanced at Alka, as if he got some hint, and asked in agreement: "Oh? Have you ever seen someone who cooks better than you?"
Juanlu nodded: "I have seen him when I was a child, on the island where I lived when I was a child. He can be regarded as my guide.
He is an old man. I was fortunate to taste his cooking skills. It was the deliciousness he showed that made me walk on this road."
"He has always been my goal." At this point, Juanlu shook his head helplessly: "But I haven't seen his back until now."
"So I travel around to see if there are any interesting cooking methods or any new ingredients."
What a classic routine.
"Speaking of ingredients." Alka suddenly thought of something and got up and walked into the kitchen.
Then he took out a wrapped piece of meat from the ice storage in the kitchen and handed it to Juanlu.
This piece of meat was cut off when he killed the sea beast on the ice island. It has been thrown into the ice storage since he got on board.
Juanlu took the thing handed over by Alka and opened the outer packaging strangely.
As soon as it was opened, in addition to a hint of coldness, a faint plant fragrance floated out.
Smelling this fragrance, Juanlu's interest immediately aroused, looking at the piece of meat in his hand.
"What kind of animal is this meat? How can there be a plant fragrance?"
This made him a little confused, and he began to study it carefully.
"The meat is very firm, and the patterns are very fine. If it is used for baking, it must be a rare delicacy.
And there is a trace of magic in this meat. This must be the meat taken from an incredible monster."
After saying this, he wrapped it up and handed it to Alka with some regret. After all, this thing is not his, although he thinks this ingredient is very good.
But it should be Alka who let him know his profession and help identify it.
This ingredient should be very precious. Just from the texture of the meat and the slight magic reaction on it, you can know how powerful it was when it was alive.
Unexpectedly, Alka pushed it over: "This is the meat of a sea beast we hunted in the Arctic Triangle before. We only took this piece. You have seen that our cooking skills can't handle it at all, so I give it to you."
"No, no, no, you saved me, how can I accept your gift? Let me help you solve the food problem during the sailing time."
He picked up the meat in his hand and said: "The first delicacy will be solved with this. Let me see how to deal with it."
Hearing Juanlu's words, Alka nodded without any hurry.
Because it is just what they want, they can also see what level Juanlu's cooking skills have reached.
Is it worth them to pay some price and effort to keep it.
After everyone finished breakfast.
They came to the deck together.
Alka took out the steel cable made yesterday from the captain's room.
Looking at the steel cable on Alka's back, Pororo took it and held it in his hand easily. Alka then turned to everyone and said, "Let's do the same as yesterday today. Pororo, you stay to guard the boat, and the others will go up with me."
Pororo nodded and put the steel cable back on Alka's back.
Looking at Juanlu who was about to stay on the boat with Pororo, Alka thought for a while and said, "Juanlu, do you want to experience it with us?"
Hearing Alka's words, Juanlu looked at them in surprise, and then pointed at himself.
"Can I? But my strength is very poor. I only have one spiral, and I don't have relevant knowledge and experience. Will I hold you back?"
Although he said so, everyone could hear the excitement in Juanlu's tone.
During his casual chat with Jason this morning, he knew that they were a treasure hunting group.
Although he only had one spiral, he had been sailing for such a long time and traveled all over the country, so he could feel it from Alka and the others.
None of these people could afford to offend him, and even the delicate-looking girl could be beaten to death with one punch.
But for a man, even if he was already in his thirties, the word treasure hunting still had a strong temptation.
Alka and the others had invited him, and if he didn't miss it, it would be too uncomfortable, and he might regret it for the rest of his life.
That's treasure hunting, how interesting.
Not to mention that he could continue sailing and traveling on the sea at this age because he also had a certain adventurous spirit.
Hearing this, Alka smiled, waved his hand and said, "No problem, this trip is very safe, and if you don't want to, I won't force you, just ask."
Hearing what Alka said, Juanlu smiled with some expectation and nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Then he followed.
Jason next to him came over and whispered to Alka: "Why do you suddenly ask a stranger who you have only known for one day to act together? This is not in line with your character."
In Jason's opinion, Alka is more or less cautious in doing things, and suddenly invites a stranger who has only known him for one day to act.
Even if this stranger is not a threat to them at all, it is still very strange and does not match Alka's usual behavior.
As soon as he asked, he seemed to think of something, and then asked: "You don't want him to join us, do you?"
Last night he sent people on the boat, and did not hear Alka chatting with others.
And he also knew that Alka had the idea of recruiting more people, and they would sometimes help find suitable candidates.
However, he did not see the right person along the way, and Juanlu was a good choice.
Hearing Jason's guess, Alka nodded and asked quietly: "How is it? Do you think it's feasible?"
"Of course it's feasible, why not say
Great, if it works... You didn't come this morning, he did a little handwork when he demonstrated to me, it was delicious..." At this point, Jason couldn't help shaking his head, as if he was still savoring it.
In this way, he can leave the kitchen and give this position to the right person, and he can also eat delicious food every meal, of course he is very willing.
Even hoping it will be faster.
It seems that the teammates have no objection to this, and even hope it will be faster.
It depends on Juanlu's intention, but he certainly can't recruit others so quickly, after all, everyone can be said to be not familiar with each other at all.
Who knows if he has the intention to develop in this direction, we have to let this person know first Their actions, as well as some of their usual work.
And show enough strength.
After leaving a good impression, make such a proposal again when parting.
The success rate is higher.
This is why he suddenly invited this stranger who had just met for a day to act together.
It has been confirmed that he only has the strength of one spiral, so there is no need to worry about the danger.
…
In this way, several people came to the top of the snow mountain with Juanlu, who was curious.
Feeling the heat around him, Juanlu looked down at the vent, and then immediately retracted his head.
He didn't know what Alka and the others were doing here, and how they could find it. What treasure?
But he didn't understand, so he just shut up and watched carefully.
At this time, a faint pink mist surged out from Alka's body, wrapped his whole body, and then the mist disappeared.
Alka was still Alka, and it seemed that there was no change.
But the real body had already entered the dream.
At this time, Alka in the outside world nodded to Julia next to him.
The box at Julia's feet opened, and the blue gem floated out.
As the magic power was poured in, the gem emitted a dazzling blue light, and the temperature around it dropped sharply.
A cool breeze blew, and Juanlu couldn't help shaking twice in comfort.
In such a hot place, it was suddenly blown. A gust of cold wind really makes people feel comfortable.
Is this a magic item?
Juanlu looked at the magic orb in front of Julia and couldn't help thinking that it should be a very powerful magic item.
After all, he was just a spiral, and he had never seen the treasure except when he touched it.
It was difficult for him to recognize that it was a legendary treasure.
Julia carefully controlled and let the frost cover Alka's body.
When this kind of frost is used on other people, it will not hurt the person who is coated. After all, this thing is essentially the embodiment of the special ability of the treasure.
The seemingly thick frost covered Alka and turned him into a frozen statue.
