Chapter 441 - 230: Massive Merchant Ship_2
Based on the Treasure Information, the expansion of this information originated from only three nouns: the Quarter God, Parshwa Temple, and City-state Vastva. Just knowing these three terms naturally didn’t provide much information. It only gave a very rough summary of the entire Treasure. Even its Level was not clearly stated.
For him right now, this orange light was still something shrouded in heavy fog. Indeed, no information could be discerned.
Alka could only helplessly wave his hand, dispersing the information tab about the Orange Light Treasure. He still didn’t know what Level of Treasure the orange light represented, or perhaps... it wasn’t a Treasure at all?
Alas, he could only wait for more information. Even if more information came, this particular Treasure would clearly have to wait until much later, when their strength had increased, before they could seek it out. But knowing something was better than knowing nothing at all.
Thinking of this, Alka began to look at the other light points on the map. This was once the ruins of a huge city, which was also buried underground. Accordingly, the map also showed densely packed light points. Counting them, aside from a heap of white ones, there were four blue points. How conspicuous they were.
And without exception, these four blue points were in places previously labeled as dangerous by Bai Shi, who had taken them patrolling. These four points were also precisely on the ruins that had been activated, but it was unknown how to close them, or perhaps they couldn’t be closed.
Furthermore, all the ruins on this map that had brief annotations, but which Bai Shi had mentioned during their previous wanderings were already closed, showed no light points at all. This indicated that the items within them had already been taken by the Island’s residents. It seemed they knew much more about these ruins than his group did; obviously, this wasn’t the kind of knowledge they would share.
After some thought, Alka skipped over those densely packed white points; he intuitively knew they were all buried deep underground.
He clicked on one of the blue points. This blue point was exactly the activated ruin they had witnessed earlier, the one that could summon Stone Elements and keep them from leaving a certain range.

[Treasure Information: Ruins of the Element Tower of Parstwa City-state. An ancient experimental product has been activated, affecting the surrounding environment.]
This Treasure yielded even less Treasure Information than the Orange Light one. No need to think too much to know. The expansion of this information obviously came from the term ’Parstwa City-state’ and their knowledge that the cause was related to Elements. It seemed more information still needed to be acquired by them.
Once again, Alka clicked on the other three blue points. The information gained was the same; it was all acquired because they knew the former name of this city-state and some related details. Hardly of any great use in acquiring Treasures.
Therefore, the focus was on this past civilization and the culture of this former city-state. If they could learn about the former culture of this city-state and more related information, they could unlock more Treasure Information, giving them at least a chance for exploration.
If the information was insufficient and not comprehensive enough, Alka wouldn’t consider leading his team on so-called unknown adventures. Unknown meant danger. The less one knew, the more dangerous it was.
Although Alka was very excited, after learning this information, he still carefully folded the map in his hand and put it into his Pocket Ring. The materials in the Pocket Ring had long since been transported by them to the Dawn Sound. There was no hurry now. He needed to think a little more to set the tone for future actions and identify their target.
Now Alka planned to tour the entire Island with Chadite. Only after Chadite completed the detailed map of the entire Island would Alka take the next step. Before that, however, Jason and the others would need to gather more information.
After thinking for a moment, he walked out and went to the bonfire. At this time, no one was asleep yet; they were still chatting by the bonfire. After all, nighttime had stretched to over a dozen hours, sometimes even more than twenty hours. It seemed nighttime didn’t necessarily have to mean sleeping early.
As for their biological clocks? Let them be chaotic. It was already chaotic here anyway; it was better to blend in with the chaos. When they were sailing at sea, the nature of the ship meant they usually had little to do, so napping was a good way to pass the time.
After coming out, Alka sat in his usual spot and said directly to Jason, "Jason, your main focus for intelligence gathering should now shift towards those ruins outside. I want to understand exactly how much they know about them."
Upon hearing this, Jason nodded without hesitation and gave an ’OK’ gesture. "Rest assured, I’ll shift the focus starting tomorrow."
Hearing Jason’s answer, Alka nodded. Anyway, for them to map out the entire Island, they would need two more full days. That was approximately another forty-plus hours, so it was still quite early. This Island was vast enough. To leave one’s footprints on it truly required more time and effort.
Having chatted for a while, Alka returned to his room again, sinking into the Dream Realm. Due to the extended nighttime, the time Alka spent in the Dream Realm was also forcibly extended.
