Chapter 1 - 1. Cursed Silver Coin

Golden Wheat Island

The bright sun at noon was hanging high in the sky, and the dazzling light reflected the sparkling waves on the blue sea.

There were large areas of golden wheat ears on the island, blooming like golden colors under the sunlight.

A winding country gravel road surrounded by golden wheat ears extended to the side of the wheat field.

It was an ordinary stone house unique to the island, surrounded by a circle of low wooden walls, and a tall tree could be seen growing inside the wooden wall.

Looking inside through the open wooden window of the stone house, a figure was squatting next to the bed near the window.

The young male figure was squatting next to the wooden bed in his room, bending his head to look under his bed.

He had short black hair and a slightly immature face, but he had already revealed a slightly handsome appearance.

In the dim light, with the sunlight shining into the room through the window, he saw that the cloth bag at the bottom of the bed was bulging and seemed to contain something.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face. This was what he was looking for.

"Treasure Hunter's Tool Bag"

Moving up a few steps, reaching out to grope in the dark, holding the edge of the cloth bag, and pulling the cloth bag out with force.

As he pulled, the cloth bag also made a ding-dong sound, indicating that there were some iron items in the cloth bag.

The force transmitted during the dragging also meant that the things inside were not light.

After pulling the cloth bag out, the mouth of the cloth bag was not tied, and some things inside had been revealed.

There was no burning torch, a short-handled shovel, an irregular and slightly curved iron rod, a rope and an iron grappling hook.

He squatted down and poured out all the things in the cloth bag.

In addition to the above items, there was also a short-handled mountain knife with a sheath and something similar to a flint.

However, what Alka cared about was not these, but a palm-sized booklet on it.

The surface of the booklet was wrapped with the leather of some animal, and the paper inside was also yellowed.

This booklet was well preserved. It looked a bit old, but the footer was not curled.

On the top of the booklet was written "Captain Alka's Treasure Hunting Manual" in a strange font.

Alka was himself.

He was not a captain, just a childish self-proclaimed name.

Flipping it casually, the text recorded in it was all some treasure legends on the island.

Holding the booklet in his hand, Alka stood up again and sat heavily on the edge of the bed.

His expression couldn't help but be thoughtful.

These are all "my" things.

Thinking of his bizarre experience, Alka couldn't help but shake his head.

I didn't expect that I would really travel through time one day, such a thing in entertainment works.

But for me, this is indeed a miracle.

Thinking back to that time, I was suffering from illness on the hospital bed, waiting for death soon.

I closed my eyes in pain and finally got a good night's sleep.

When I woke up again, I had occupied this body.

By the way, I also inherited the memory of this body.

These memories were slowly restored from far to near within two days.

It was not until the morning that he knew how the original body died.

Died of a "curse".

This body is 16 years old and dreams of becoming a treasure hunter at sea.

9 days ago, he really found the treasure.

The first treasure he found in his treasure-hunting life also became his last treasure.

And the treasure...

Arka fumbled under his pillow and took out a dull silver coin.

The treasure is this silver coin.

The silver coin is a little dull and black, which means it has a history. An S-shaped silver snake is engraved on the front, and a three-petal flower on the back.

The scratch on the silver snake's head is very conspicuous.

Other than that, this is an ordinary silver coin, a "silver snake", a circulating currency.

Although it is valuable, it is not enough to buy his life.

"There are still 5 days... No, there are still 4 and a half days."

Arka turned his head and looked at the bright sun hanging in the sky from the window beside the bed and muttered to himself.

Who would have thought that this ordinary silver snake in his hand was cursed.

If he had heard of a curse on a silver coin before, Alka would have just smiled and treated it as a joke.

But the sudden death of his predecessor forced him to take it seriously.

9 days ago, the previous owner of this body dug up this silver snake, which was then placed in a small iron box.

There was also a passage engraved on the iron box.

"Return within seven days and get treasure. After seven days, die of the curse."

A very simple and straightforward sentence, but the original owner at that time didn't take it seriously at all.

Who would believe such a thing?

There is no supernatural power in the memory, at most, the people in this world are generally much better than in the previous life.

Then.

Two days ago, he really died in his sleep.

After he occupied this body, because the memory was from far to near, all the memories of the original owner were completely restored this morning.

I had been pretending to be sick and hiding in the house, waiting for my memory to be fully restored before I could judge the current situation.

Similarly, the death of the original owner also means that this "curse" is real, not a joke.

I have been traveling for 2 and a half days, and there are still 4 and a half days to reach the 7-day deadline.

My 7 days.

Perhaps the original owner has already endured this curse, and I just resurrected from this body, and I may not die in another 7 days.

But for Alka, who just passed the travel and resurrected from this corpse, he didn't dare to gamble at all.

He didn't want to die yet.

The days of waiting for death in the previous life made him despair. Finally, he lived again. How could he just wait to die like this?

Even if it was just a possibility, he didn't want to gamble.

He must return this silver coin, whether it is true or not.

This is the only thing to do now.

Alka took a deep breath and began to analyze the current situation.

First, this silver coin was learned from memory that it was part of the magician Jack's treasure.

The original owner also obtained this silver coin through this clue.

This is just a small clue before obtaining the final treasure.

In other words, as long as the final magician Jack's treasure is found and the silver coin is returned, he can lift the curse.

Really survive.

Alka began to extract information related to the magician Jack's treasure from his memory.

Magician Jack, whose original name was Jack Monk, was born on Golden Wheat Island more than 200 years ago and went to sea when he was young.

He did not return until he was in his 50s in his later years. At that time, he had already made a name for himself in the surrounding waters.

He was a famous treasure hunter with a resounding nickname "Magician".

As a famous treasure hunter, he returned to his hometown in his later years and did not show that he was very rich.

The people on the island believed that he had hidden his wealth in his hometown.

It is said that he once said in a tavern that he hid his treasure on Golden Wheat Island when he was drunk.

But no one has really found his treasure for more than 200 years, so it naturally became a legend.

Most of the residents on the island believed that he had squandered most of his property outside the island. He returned to his hometown in his later years and waited for the god of death to take him away.

This is very consistent with what a person who has been wandering on the sea for many years would do.

Arka looked at the silver snake in his hand, the silver coin and the curse on it, all confirming the authenticity of the treasure.

Standing up, he walked to the painting on the left side of the room, which depicted an old man wearing a black top hat and formal black clothes.

On the right hand placed on the left shoulder, there are several rings.

This is the portrait of Jack Monk.

The ancestors of his mother.

This house is also the place where the last magician died.

This is why Alka got the clue.

After all, this is his family.

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

The thin booklet contains information about several treasures, all collected by the original owner from various places.

"Parker's Golden Cane", "Lucky Gold Coin", "Markto Shipwreck"...

And now "Jack's Magic Treasure".

Some of these are treasures on the main island, and some are legends on the neighboring island.

They are all popular stories, and no one really thinks they are treasures.

At least for now.

Except Alka who claims to be a treasure hunter.

In fact, Alka himself thought that most of them were fake, and the reason why he focused on Jack's treasure was because this was his family, and he had news that was different from outsiders.

The clues to Jack's treasure were all on several pages at the back of the booklet.

The rest were just simple introductions. At the place where the two pages were connected, a simple map of Golden Wheat Island was drawn with very simple lines.

Two key symbols were marked on it with ink dots.

This was the only clue left by the original owner. Looking at the map.
