Look who it is? The great hero has arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a Knight Captain, who seemed to be overseeing his squad inside the church, noticed Alka and laughed heartily as he walked over to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same Captain Marlo that Alka had met a few times at the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka gave him a quick hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great hero? Are you talking about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka asked with some confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlo nodded, then patted him on the shoulder, \"Of course, it's you, young man. What you did at the Sea of Moisture has already spread. Your team is quite well-known in this region now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alka frowned slightly in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The news traveled that fast? Surely, we were the first team to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There shouldn't be any team that returned faster than theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, in fact, only a few of us know about it.\" Marlo laughed awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Silent Saintess and a few priests accompanying her returned earlier through a remote teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those youngsters have been talking about your team non-stop, so I learned a bit about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You all are quite an incredible group of young people.\" Marlo explained from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alka nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was only some internal personnel who knew about it, which made sense. Later, when some people from the Land of Spirits returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka's deeds would inevitably spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the rise in reputation, Alka didn't mind it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, sailing across the sea, one would inevitably gain some wealth, power, influence, and fame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the fame, which naturally spreads as you undertake notable actions during your journey unless you remain completely inconspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Alka chuckled and then asked, \"I'm here to see the Archbishop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Archbishop? The Archbishop is upstairs. Would you like me to take you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alka nodded, \"That would be great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this damned church is so winding and complex, and it's not a place where I could recklessly extend my awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, Marlo spoke briefly with the soldiers nearby, then led Alka upstairs, passing by the side stairway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the second floor, they walked through the corridor and knocked on a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it?\" The voice from inside didn't seem to belong to the Archbishop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka remembered quite distinctly that the Archbishop had a somewhat unique voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this was clearly a young woman's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the Light Blade Saintess,\" Marlo whispered quietly to Alka beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A complete stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he replied to the door, \"Lord Alka has returned and wishes to see the Archbishop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\" The Archbishop's voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlo opened the door, and together with Alka, entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then politely nodded to the two people inside, excused himself, and closed the door as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka walked in and saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archbishop was sitting at a large wooden table, seemingly writing something. Behind him, the tapestry embroidered with the classic image of the Holy Mother holding a child and standing in a wheat field, hung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him was the young woman who had just spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a young woman standing around 1.8 meters tall, with very vibrant blonde hair. However, what truly drew attention was the metallic eye patch she was wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye patch was covered in intricate religious patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On her head, she wore a metallic laurel crown in the shape of wheat, embedded with numerous gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also wore a fitted metal soft armor, which looked both practical and elegant. A slender sword was slung across her waist at an angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheath of the sword was engraved with elaborate patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the obscuring desk, Alka could see another sword on the other side of her, though it was partially hidden from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you give this matter some more thought. I shall take my leave now.\" The young woman referred to as the Light Blade Saintess by Marlo, departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archbishop merely nodded, \"I will consider your suggestion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Saintess left, he turned to look at Alka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to keep you waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your performance in the Land of Spirits was outstanding. Thank you for helping Alati and those church staff members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alka quickly responded, \"I'm practically a member of the church, so it's just what I should do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, mutual assistance is what we should strive for,\" the Archbishop said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, is there anything I can assist you with?\" the Archbishop asked, standing up from his seat and walking over with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alka chuckled, and with a flick of his hand, a thick book appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a small favor to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he placed the book on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Alka presented the book, the Archbishop's gaze fixed on it, unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but come over and touch the cover of the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming its authenticity, he managed to withdraw his hand, sighing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has anyone ever told you that your bribery tactics are a bit rigid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Alka just laughed, \"As long as the value of the bribe is sufficient, a few minor flaws can certainly be overlooked, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, although you're young, you are remarkably keen. I must say this book truly hits one of my weak spots. I doubt any church member would refuse it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book Alka brought out was none other than the handwritten copy of the Ancient Stone Mother Scripture he had acquired from the Nafasi Clan Treasure Vault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak up, as long as it doesn't violate church doctrines, I will consider providing you with ample assistance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archbishop said, resting his hand on the book and looking at Alka.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-03T07:13:58.500Z","2026-06-03T07:14:03.342Z",1,"novelbin.me","4cb034ba18558b305b877e228970f7b3c72bf088f280f67ea11e995a1bd66009","treasure-hunting-system-the-ocean-conquerer-chapter-903","treasure-hunting-system-the-ocean-conquerer-chapter-901",1016,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftreasure-hunting-system-the-ocean-conquerer-cover.jpg"]
