Chapter 241 Broken Island Chain Southern Cross

From time to time, Balazs talked about some information he knew about some people in the Four Gods Sea Area.

Alka and the others will recall some of the information they learned while in the Four Gods Sea based on the names of these people.

Understanding the past of these legendary figures makes the communication between the two parties more enjoyable.

After all, even Balazs himself is just a small figure, with only a little popularity in this small area.

He found it very interesting and novel to be able to understand the legendary past that was out of reach, like the characters in a storybook.

The communication between the two parties became very pleasant.

From time to time, you can hear loud laughter coming from inside the house.

The conversation continued until most of the food on the table had gone into Pororo's stomach.

They were just about to say goodbye.

"It's very pleasant to communicate with you. You are really rare friends. If you want to leave this island in the future, remember to come to Southern Cross Island. It is very important to reach a target island."

As he spoke, Balazs waved, and a male member standing behind him came up and handed the object in his hand to him.

Balazs took it and handed it to Alka.

"Don't refuse a small gift. It's very important to you, but it's not unusual for us. It's a little thought."

Looking at the object wrapped in cloth in his hand, Alka nodded without refusing.

He has said so, it must be something very helpful, and it would be too hypocritical to postpone it any longer.

"Thank you, we will keep your help in mind."

"Haha, we are friends now. Helping friends is not what you should do."

Hearing this, Alka also smiled.

"That's really my fault, haha."

"It's very late now. Thank you very much for your hospitality. Then we'll take our leave."

Balazs no longer wanted to stay, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, if you have the chance, you must come to Southern Cross Island, and we will meet again then."

"It must be so. May the Holy Mother bless you."

Alka crossed her arms and said in front of her.

"May the Holy Mother bless you." Balazs returned the greeting.

Afterwards, Alka and others left here and walked towards the port.

Until Alka and the others left the door of the house, Balazs was still standing there with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking.

"Captain, what are you thinking about?" asked the first mate who had been standing behind him.

"As expected of someone from the Four Gods Sea Area, he is really awesome."

"Awesome?" The first mate scratched his head and didn't quite understand.

He really didn't see anyone from Alka who was that powerful.

But these people have a pretty good way of chatting.

Balazs glanced sideways at him.

"If you could see that, wouldn't you be the captain?"

"I'm really looking forward to the next meeting. Then I'll see how long it takes you."

With that said, he left the room.

Looking at the back of his captain, the first mate curled his lips in disdain.

"Starting to set up the captain's score again."

…

At this time, they bid farewell to Alka and the others who left, and walked on the streets of the town while blowing the cool night breeze.

"What do you think of that Balazs?"

Alka suddenly asked.

"He is not a believer in the Holy Mother. He was just pretending to be like that." Xia Detti suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?" Alka was slightly surprised. He really didn't see this.

After all, Balazs just held his arms and performed the rites of the Virgin.

"When he crossed his arms and prayed for the Blessing of the Blessed Mother, he did not receive the Blessing of the Blessed Mother."

Xia Detti explained.

"ah?"

Alka made a confused sound.

What does it mean? Just make a gesture and pray to the Holy Mother to bless you, and the Holy Mother will really bless you. Can you still see it?

Even Simon next to her looked at her in surprise.

Isn't this a common thing? How can it be concluded from this that Balazs is not a follower of the Blessed Mother?

I only heard Xia Detti explain: "I was once a preparatory saint of the church. You know, I almost became a saint."

Alka nodded. Xia Detti was still modest when she said this. She was capable of becoming a saint, but she just didn't want to take on the so-called responsibilities of a saint.

Then he silently complained in his heart: If you hadn't punched the archbishop, you might still be preparing to become a saint.

Inexplicably, I thought of Xia Daiti's dark history.

However, it also shows that Xia Detti was indeed a core member of the church.

"I don't know about other gods, but as long as you cross your arms and truly believe in Our Lady, you will receive her blessings when you pray."

"It's just that you can't see this blessing, and the blessing is very small, but it is obvious to the clergy.

Therefore, many people in Jiayuanhai did not believe in the Holy Mother, and they just pretended to be so. Many clergymen turned a blind eye.

When true believers in Our Lady need help, the clergy will not hesitate to help.”

After hearing this, Alka nodded in realization.

Simon was also beside him and said with some envy: "Is the Holy Mother so kind?"

This is something that believers in the Holy Machine Church would never dare to think about.

How is it possible that just by making gestures casually and praying to the gods for blessings, you can actually receive blessings?

Alka did not know this at all.

To be honest, he didn't pay much attention.

At this moment, he was suddenly startled.

He doesn't believe in the Holy Mother much either. Could it be noticed?

I couldn't help but ask: "What about me? When I went on the boat to pray, did I receive the blessing from the Virgin Mary?"

Xia Detti looked at Alka and couldn't help but frown, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Of course, and there are quite a few."

"Really, haha."

That's good, that's good, it scares me to death.

After thinking about it, I realized that I was really overthinking it. After all, I could even use the Holy Sword. How could I not be a believer of the Holy Mother?

And I once received a revelation.

Come to think of it, do you really not believe in the Holy Mother?

Alka simply cannot guarantee that he does not believe in it at all.

Regardless of the teachings of Our Lady, the things she did, and the kindness she showed, Alka had no reason not to believe in her.

Moreover, the Holy Mother Church does treat itself well and treats itself completely as one of its own.

Therefore, he can indeed be regarded as a believer of the Holy Mother. After figuring this out, Alka no longer hesitated.

"Tell me something else."

"His cooking skills are not very good, much worse than Juanlu's." Pororo suddenly said.

What he said made several people unable to help but stand there and look back at him.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the way several people looked at him, Pororo said doubtfully, and then added: "It's really not as good as it is, don't you think?"

"It's not as good as Juanlu, but do you think it's appropriate for you to say this?" Simon, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but raise his steel left arm and patted Pororo's belly.

At this time, Pororo's stomach was a little round. You can imagine how much food on the table went into his stomach.

At least 2/3, this is still a conservative estimate.

Upon hearing this, Pororo pushed away the hand that was patting his stomach. The hand was too hard, as if he was hitting him with an iron rod.

Then he argued: "Food can't be wasted. We are guests and we must respect the host. There is no better way to show respect to the host than by eating the dishes he has prepared for him."

It was so well said that it actually left several people speechless.

"Simon, make a steel needle." Pororo patted Simon and said.

"What are you doing?" While asking, he raised his left hand and directly made a steel needle.

Pororo took it and started shaving his teeth directly.

"Tsk."

Simon rolled his eyes.

Pororo also complained: "Next time something like this happens, you should ask Jason to accompany you. He is more suitable. I can only help you in this way."

Alka glanced at him and shook his head helplessly: "You look more intimidating, and have you followed Jason's bad example recently? Why are you becoming more and more like him?"

Especially this bitch look.

"Although I don't know his true thoughts, what he did is at least beneficial to us, and we do owe him a favor." Xia Detti started to get down to business.

Alka nodded, that was indeed the case.

No matter what the purpose of others is, at least until now he has always had good intentions and is indeed helping them.

Thinking of this, Alka opened the thing in his hand.

This was the gift Balazs gave them when they said goodbye.

After opening it, I found a flag and a book inside.

Alka picked up the flag and looked at it.

This is not a regular flag, but like a belt, with a rope tied to the flagpole on one end and nothing on the other end.

There is a red line on the long blue flag. In the middle of the long flag, there is a cross star.

"What does this flag mean?" Simon asked next to him.

Alka checked it: "There are spells on it. It is woven with some kind of spell material. The technique is very unique and the production is very fine."

That was the only thing he could see.

"Read the book first," Xia Dai suggested.

Based on the exchange they just had, this book is obviously more important.

Alka nodded, put away the flag, and opened the book in his hand.

This book is not thick, it is very thin in your hand, only about one finger thick.

The book cover is made of some kind of waterproof material, but it's not an expensive material.

"It's actually written in the common script of Home Sea." Alka was a little surprised when he looked at the title on the cover of the book.

He only recalled now that when they communicated throughout the entire conversation, they all used the common language of Home Sea.

Speaking of the islanders in the town, in addition to using their own language, the only language they can use seems to be the lingua franca of their home sea.

Why is it the home sea?

It is not the lingua franca of the Southern Storm Sea, or the other four sea areas of the gods.

Even in the dream before, Alka didn't get the answer.

The dream of the islanders said that this language is used by outsiders who often come to trade.

In the dream of the merchant ship members, Alka did not ask for information.

Take your thoughts back.

Alka looked at the writing in her hand.

It says "Broken Island Chain/Southern Cross"

The name seems to be a book introducing the Broken Island Chain and the Signpost Island Southern Cross.

The thickness is about the same.

Alka opened it and looked at it.

"This records some information about this area and the Southern Cross Signpost Island. It also includes navigation help on the Infinite Sea."

Hearing this, Xia Daiti and others showed strong interest on their faces.

This may be their first step in understanding the boundless sea.

"Let's take a look when we get back. Lucilia and the others might be impatient."

After hearing this, several people nodded and walked quickly towards the port.

It didn't take long for us to arrive at the port, where we found Jason waiting on the shore.

After seeing them coming, Jason smiled and waved.

Then he looked them up and down to make sure there was nothing wrong, and then jumped onto the deck with everyone else.

"How's it going? What did that person do when he invited you over?" Jason asked.

"He just saw that we are people who have just arrived in the Infinite Sea, and wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with us."

“It’s better to provide help in times of need than to add icing on the cake.”

This statement surprised everyone.

"How were we exposed?"

Alka and the others began to briefly tell everyone about some of the exchanges at the banquet.

"So that's it. I never thought that such details would be exposed." Julia murmured to herself.

Such a way of exposure was something she didn't expect.

"You said that book recorded some outside situations, please tell me." Lucilia jumped on Alka's shoulder and urged.

Hearing this, Alka looked at the others.

The eyes of others were also full of curiosity.

After all, although they have been in the Silverless Sea for so long, they know very little about the specific situation of the Boundless Sea.

Now that we have a channel to understand, how could we not be curious?

"No problem, let me take a look."

Alka opened the book and read it carefully.

After taking a closer look, he realized that the information he had obtained from the dream was indeed a bit one-sided and too fragmented.

Even what is written above is only about the surrounding area and some characteristics of the sea in this area.

"Nautical charts are completely useless in the Infinite Sea. Because of the chaos, the ocean here is always changing, including the positions of the islands."

"This also makes it difficult for you to identify the correct direction here, because even the ocean, even the islands you have visited, will appear in other places shortly after you leave.

The islands that will not deviate due to changes in space or ocean currents are signpost islands. They will always be there and will always be fixed there."

"The so-called island chain is a few islands dragged together by the signpost island. They will also change, but they will reappear around the signpost island at a certain time.

As for the specific mechanism, I haven’t mentioned it above, just a brief description.

For example, the island chain dragged by the Guide Island Southern Cross Island is called the Broken Island Chain, and the island under our feet is part of the Broken Island Chain.

He will return to the area around Southern Cross Island every 30 to 60 days and nights, which is why merchant ships will arrive during this period.

They must also leave again before deviating, otherwise they will have to wait until the next time they return.

Otherwise, it is very likely that we will be far away from Southern Cross Island, and it will take a lot of time and energy to return."

After briefly talking about some of the important information written in the book, Alka took out the flag that Balazs had given him before.

"Although the location of Signpost Island will not change, the people of the Infinite Sea still made a tool that can guide Signpost Island, the Guiding Flag."

"This flag guides the Southern Cross Island. As long as it is hung up, the tail end of the flag will always fly in the direction of the island."

After listening to Alka's simple narration, everyone's expressions varied, but without exception they were all a little surprised.

Even though they had been mentally prepared for it, they were still a little overwhelmed by the level of chaos here.

"That is to say, unless it is an island in an island chain, once you leave, it is very likely that you will never find it again?" Xia Detti asked beside him.

Alka nodded: "That's what the book says, if the book's statement is not wrong."

"Will there always be an unknown journey?" Julia murmured to herself, and then asked helplessly: "So is there really a seed of life here?"

The so-called Seed of Life is essentially similar to the Holy Mother Church and the Holy Mechanism Church.

It is an organization formed by believers in the gods and life of the Sea of ​​All Beings.

One of the teachings is to ensure the balance of nature and sort out the chaos of the world.

And the one who implements this teaching to the end is the mermaid.
