Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 585 - 278: Destiny Voyage
"Oh~ Honored King of Dreams, Your Majesty, please bestow your noble subject with a blessing!" Jason knelt on one knee, wearing an exceptionally exquisite suit of heavy Armor, and said solemnly. It had the distinct air of a knightly investiture ceremony. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Knight Jason has a moral problem," Simon, who stood beside them, now wearing a pair of glasses and holding a thick book, interjected. "I suggest Your Majesty expel him from the knightly order, demote him to a commoner, and exile him to an outer island."
Alka, wearing the Dream Crown, nodded. "Lord Simon speaks wisely. Guards, take Jason away."
"Before you take me away, at least let me finalize the contract," Jason complained, raising his head.
"That’s true," Alka said, marking the contract on Simon’s arm. This would allow Simon to store his Dream Bubbles in Alka’s palace while asleep, ensuring he could enjoy peaceful, undisturbed dreams.
Their recent exchange was merely a bit of whimsical roleplay.
"How can they be so childish?" Julia, standing on the aftcastle, couldn’t help but complain as she watched Alka and the others’ performance. She looked utterly bewildered. Don’t these people feel any shame?
Matilda, beside her, covered her mouth and chuckled. "They’re quite amusing."
"Aren’t men just like this? It’d be strange if they didn’t act a little crazy sometimes," Chadite said with a laugh. The contract had just been placed on them a few moments before.
After they had their fun below, Simon gestured. The constructed Armor on Jason automatically disassembled into pieces, which then flew into Simon’s Pocket Ring.
Simon looked at the Magic Power fluctuation around Jason and asked, "Are you about to advance?"
The Magic Power fluctuation from Jason was too obvious. Hearing Simon’s words, Jason nodded. "Soon, just a little bit more. I should be able to advance when it’s my turn for watch duty."
"By the way, where is Ulllius? I haven’t seen her since I woke up," Alka asked curiously. Ever since he woke up last night, he hadn’t seen the Crystal Dragon all day. Shouldn’t the Crystal Dragon always be with Jason? Not seeing her for a whole day was indeed strange.
"She’s also at a bottleneck. However, she only needs to enter a Deep Sleep to break through, and she’ll grow significantly in the process. So, she’s in her room sleeping now," Jason replied.
Hearing Jason’s answer, Alka nodded knowingly.
"Speaking of which, your Magic Power yesterday was also quite abnormal. Did you break through again?" Simon turned to Alka and asked. He had wanted to ask yesterday, but Alka had said something else that distracted him, and he’d forgotten about it. Thinking about it now, having become a Divine Bloodline and gained privileges in the Dream Realm, it would be odd if his strength hadn’t increased.
Alka nodded. "I’m now at 14 Spirals. I gained 4 Spirals out of nowhere."
A Divine Fragment, combined with Dream Realm Authority and some Energy reinforcement, had allowed Alka to instantly jump 5 Spirals, firmly establishing him in the Third Stage. However, this was still only considered an Ordinary Level within the Third Stage. After all, reaching Perfection in the Third Stage required 27 Spirals. Alka had only just surpassed the halfway mark.
Now that Jason was going to break through tonight. If he did the math... by then, only two people on the ship would remain at the Second Stage.
One was Matilda. She hadn’t reached the Third Stage due to the lack of a Treasure. Without one, she might need another thirty-odd days and nights to break through that final step. Then there was Juanlu. He hadn’t even reached Nine Spirals, and without the aid of a Treasure, his progress was much slower than the others. The others had all reached the Third Stage in the past few days, especially Julia, who had quickly broken through that final step after acquiring a Treasure.
Assuming each person needed at least one Treasure, their ship was still two Treasures short.
"Still two short, huh," Alka mused. Where can we quickly acquire these two Treasures? This has become a priority. Otherwise, the power gap will only widen, which isn’t good.
"Speaking of which, are we just sailing aimlessly on the sea?" Jason asked, looking at the endless expanse of water.
Hearing this, Alka, who was deep in thought, snapped back to reality and nodded. "Isn’t drifting aimlessly quite interesting? Besides, there’s no place we absolutely have to go in the Endless Sea."
The ship drifted at random, and many strange islands also drifted about aimlessly. They followed destiny’s guidance, eventually reaching the islands they were meant to find. At least, that was how the locals of the Endless Sea perceived it. They called this "Fate Navigation."
Of course, one didn’t have to drift aimlessly. If there was a destination, naturally, one would head towards it.
A destination...
Alka seemed to have recalled something and began to carefully sift through the information in his mind. After all, these weren’t his own memories. When he acquired the Divine Fragment and Royal Authority, Alka had also received many fragments of Mirmi’s memories. As a king within the Dream Realm, Mirmi’s power in reality corresponded to Stages 6-7, making him exceedingly formidable. He also possessed an infinite lifespan, and his memories were so vast that even mere fragments were enough to make Alka’s mind swell and throb with pain.
