Chapter 1103 - 449: Sun Stone (3)
"Is it this one?"In Alka’s eyes, this thing indeed had a layer of golden outline on its surface.
So it really was in the nest.
He nodded slightly and took it from Jiu Qi’s hand. When the stone fell into his palm, he could clearly feel the warmth it transmitted.
The gentle warmth spread from the stone through his body; no wonder those birds had carried it into their nest.
"It really was inside the bird’s nest!" Jason said, a bit helplessly.
He had never considered this possibility at all.
Beside him, Simon and Lucilia also looked somewhat helpless; they likewise hadn’t expected the Treasure to be carried into a bird’s nest.
"Alright, we’ve found the thing, let’s head back."
With that, they all started back toward the camp.
They soon returned to the camp.
Holding the two Treasures in his hands, Alka entered the Dream Realm.
Through the Dream Realm, Alka could see the abilities of these two Treasures on a deeper level.
The ability of that ordinary short sword seemed somewhat unrelated to its weapon form.
The ability seemed to be repulsion... or rather, Isolation.
Alka examined it carefully; it should be able to repel certain things away, or, to put it another way, create a zone into which only those he allowed could enter.
He couldn’t see every single function of the Treasure with complete clarity, but seeing this much, he more or less understood its ability.
The first application that came to mind was that in a poisonous area, this Treasure could be used to isolate the poison gas, keeping a safe zone around himself.
Thinking along those lines, this function could also be used underwater, isolating a waterless space in the midst of water.
It might even be able to isolate sound or flames and such; thinking about it that way, this Treasure was actually quite powerful.
Of course, if you looked at it like that, the range of applications for this Treasure was rather broad, but it didn’t match its current carrier, a short sword, at all.
Perhaps forging it into a Shield or something would be much more suitable than a weapon.
As for the Sun Stone he had just obtained—that was how Alka named it. Although the stone only looked slightly rounded and smooth, the orange patterns on it naturally formed a rough design resembling the sun.
And it still felt warm to the touch, so it was easy to guess that this Treasure’s ability was probably related to flames or temperature.
When he examined it closely, it was just as he had thought: this Treasure should be related to temperature, specifically to heat generation.
Different from flame, which directly creates extremely hot fire for attack or shaping, if it was merely heat, then it should be able to produce high temperatures and the like.
The only question was whether this effect really matched this stone.
Whether the Treasure’s carrier and the Divine Essence within it were perfectly compatible was something Alka still couldn’t quite judge; he needed more study.
He went to find the Shadow Robe to have him take a look.
The Shadow Robe first examined the short sword, then shook his head in disdain and said, "Crude carrier, unclear purpose."
Clearly, this Treasure belonged to the very unsuitable type, one that could be separated quite easily.
He then looked at Alka’s other Treasure, the Sun Stone.
"The carrier isn’t good enough... but within this stone there is faith, an ancient faith stemming from primeval worship. Its appearance, on the other hand, is somewhat fitting.
But it’s a pity; the carrier really doesn’t cut it. It’s just an ordinary stone with peculiar patterns in the material world. Even with faith, it’s too forced.
With its peculiarity, plus ancient worship, if there were no Divine Essence, it might be a rare mysterious material."
Simply put, the Divine Essence and the Treasure’s carrier were each excellent when separate, but when combined, they were somewhat lacking.
They also fell into the "not very suitable" category.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to separate them?"
Alka thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, then help me separate them. No need to rush; you can take your time and run experiments with them, as long as you don’t destroy them."
After all, They weren’t exactly short on Treasures right now.
The Shadow Robe nodded, looking very interested, and took the two Treasures away.
Alka returned to reality.
He told everyone that the two mismatched Treasures were to be separated into Divine Essence.
He then said to Simon, "We can start working on making containers specifically for storing Treasures and Divine Essence."
From now on, all the Holy Grail Level Treasures They obtained wouldn’t be needed by Them anymore, so They would need good containers to store them. Especially for something like Divine Essence—if They weren’t careful, it could end up merging with all sorts of strange things in reality.
Hearing this, Simon nodded, then remembered something and said, "But some of the materials are still on the ship."
At that, Alka pondered for a moment, then said, "Pack up, we’re leaving. Let’s return to the port first. While we’re at the port, we’ll gather some necessary information. A lot of books are still on the ship as well; we need to go back and look for relevant records."
These included information about the Grefar family, the Moon Worship Sect, and the Lighthouse.
All of these needed to be searched and examined.
