"Ellie, let's take a break."

After digging for two hours straight, after the initial excitement passed, all that was left was exhaustion. Although in this ocean of consciousness, it is much easier to dig than in reality. But both of them are underage girls after all, and the hours of digging have exhausted them - Shanaiduo may still be able to grit her teeth and persevere, but Ellie is obviously unable to bear it.

"Hmm."

Ellie replied weakly, and the girl was not too dirty, and sat directly on the white sand that had just been dug up. The girl crossed her knees, quietly looked at the dark sea in the distance, and muttered to herself, "Dad, where the hell have you gone......

Shanado didn't know how to answer her, and the girl sat down beside Ellie. She looked at the sea in front of her and fell into thought.

There is no end to this white sand beach, and the black sea is endless. It's just that the two of them didn't find anything on the white sand except for those fragmentary memories and black stone tablets - Shanaiduo looked back at the dozen or so large pits behind him, and all of them were pitch-black stone tablets without exception.

The name inscribed on the stele should represent a person. If there is only one stone monument that is easy to explain, perhaps it can be explained by the expanse of Sinlos's travels. But if there are more than a dozen stone monuments...... Shanaiduo couldn't be sure if there were more people than those recorded on the stone tablet in the people he had seen in his life until now.

Moreover, why was my name suddenly added, and it was put in the first place...... On the stele, there is no name of Mariana. Does this mean anything?

Shanaiduo suddenly felt a burst of heat on her body, and her head was in a mess, and she couldn't continue to think about it.

"Sister Shanaiduo, do you think Dad will be in this sea?"

Just as Shanaido was thinking wildly, Ellie suddenly interrupted her train of thought. The girl came back to her senses from her delusions and looked at the unquiet sea ahead.

"Uh...... Possibly. ”

By the time the two of them regained consciousness, they were already on this miserable white sand. But that doesn't mean that Sinloth's consciousness is necessarily on the beach. Although in the eyes of the two girls, the beach is so vast. But according to common sense, it is clear that the size of the beach cannot be compared with the ocean.

Perhaps, Sinloth's consciousness is hidden in this black ocean.

When they entered the sea of consciousness of Sinloth before, Xanalot had already made an agreement with them. Regardless of their progress. After three hours, she would definitely pull the two of them out of their consciousness. There is not much time left until that appointed time. Shanaiduo looked up at the dark cloud above him, and already had an idea in his heart.

"Ellie, you're waiting for me on the beach. I'll go to the sea and see...... Don't worry, I won't be far. ”

Ellie hesitated, and the girl sucked her fingers, but nodded anyway.

……

Shanaido plunged headlong into the dark sea.

Somewhat unexpectedly, this sea seems extremely real, but Shanaido can breathe freely in it like a swimming fish - no matter how realistic it is, but this is the world of consciousness after all, and the same is true of this sea.

If the occasional glittering treasures on the beach are memories of Sinloth's joy, then the whole dark sea. It is the embodiment of Sinloth's sorrow.

There are few treasures on the beach, but the suffering of the world is endless.

The dark sea doesn't directly reveal the memories of Sinloth in front of Shanaiduo's eyes like those treasures. But the heavy sorrow that permeated the ocean was like a myriad of burdens, weighing heavily on Shanaiduo's heart. Less than a minute of diving made Shanaiduo's heart rise with endless exhaustion, and he wanted to sleep forever.

It doesn't look like the emotion of a teenager — if it's an old immortal like Xanalot, who has seen the vicissitudes of the world, it's pretty much the same.

Shanaiduo didn't know why this was happening in Sinloth's sea of consciousness, but she still endured the exhaustion in her heart and swam towards the bottom of the sea little by little. Just like the real ocean, the dark sea is full of waves. But below sea level, it's much gentler. Although this ocean is dark, Shanaiduo can see the scenery under the sea strangely.

"Sure enough, anything can happen in the sea of consciousness......"

I don't know how long I have been on the bottom of the sea, from the moment I entered the sea. Shanaido had never seen anything alive. The dead silence of the sea, coupled with the heaviness that permeated the water, made Shanaiduo's body gradually stiffen and weak.

"No, I can't go down any longer, I have to leave quickly."

Although Shanaiduo wanted to know more about Sinloth from the bottom of her heart, the education she received since childhood still told her. In this kind of place that transcends common sense, everything must be done according to one's ability, and it must not be reckless. Now that your body is already feeling the strain, the best option now is to leave.

The girl made up her mind, and her body immediately changed direction and began to swim towards the sea. At this moment, a huge suction force suddenly came from the originally calm and dark seabed. The suction force was so great that it was as terrifying as the combined force of dozens of mammoths. The inexplicable force entangled Shanaiduo's body in an instant, dragging the girl's body downward.

"Oops......"

……

After a whirlwind, Shanaiduo shook his head, and finally regained consciousness. After looking around for a while, she looked at the strange existence in front of her, and was determined.

Overhead was still the pitch-black sea, but under the influence of that mysterious force, she had been dragged to the depths of the ocean in an instant. It's just that the bottom of the sea under his feet is not what Shanaiduo had expected, a lifeless bareness.

In fact, the beauty of the seabed in front of him is far beyond Shanaiduo's imagination.

Although there is darkness overhead, at the bottom of the sea is a vibrant appearance. Countless small colorful fish are swimming in groups, and the curious fish sometimes look at Shanaido curiously. It's just that when Shanaiduo stretches out his hand and wants to touch them, the fish will scatter as if they were greatly frightened.

Strange and beautiful corals cover the bottom of the sea, and the charm of the sea is full of water. And the large and small sea creatures are all over the eyes of Sanaiduo, and no one can think of it. The depths of the ocean could be like this.

Although he tried his best to make himself look mature and stable, Shanado was still a child in his heart. The girl looked at everything in front of her curiously, and she even picked up a huge pearl in a mussel shell and stroked it carefully. The pearls are smooth and rounded. It radiates a gentle glow.

Just as Shanaido wanted to put it in front of him to take a closer look, the pearl twisted and turned into an ancient image. Perhaps because it was too old, or because of Sinloth himself, the image seemed very blurry to Shanaido. And the same is true of the conversations. It's just that from the blurry image, Shanaiduo can still see the happiness in it.

……

A slender black-haired young man lifted a small baby high, although his face was unusually blurry, but he could still detect his smile from the bottom of his heart: "Lift high, lift high~ Ah, Xinluo is really a brave child." ”

The little baby seemed to enjoy the joy of standing on a high place, with big black eyes and a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth. He waved his little arms and babbled something.

"Mr. Heinrich. Don't do that, you'll scare Cynloth. ”

The girl who was wielding a wooden sword on the side saw the teacher's actions and immediately stopped what she was doing. The girl sneered, and took the little baby who was sucking her fingers from the young man's hand.

"Hahaha, Mariana, you really care about Sinloth. Otherwise, when Sinloth grows up, you can simply marry him and be my daughter-in-law. Andil has no intention of swordsmanship, and Xinluos's talent is too terrifying. Learning from me was a waste of his talent...... Well, in this case, I can also teach you the Wave Sword logically, and it won't be considered a violation of the ancestral teachings......"

"Teacher!"

"Hahahahaha. What's the matter, anyway, the man's mother-in-law Mariana can't get married...... Hey, why are you stepping on my feet? ”

The baby didn't understand what was wrong with the two men, and he looked at the two arguing suspiciously. After a few moments, the little one seemed to lose interest, and he yawned heavily. Reclined into Mariana's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

It was a long time before the two of them put an end to their joking quarrel. And when they lowered their heads again and looked at the baby. only to find that the little guy was chirping his mouth, with a reassuring smile on his face.

……

It's a simple, but very warm dream.

Shanaido couldn't hear their words clearly, let alone see their faces. Their words can only be analyzed from a few words - but for the girl, no matter what they say, it is actually irrelevant. What really cares is only the family-like warmth revealed in this memory.

It's really envious.

Shanado sighed softly and put the pearl back in its place.

This underwater world is beautiful and fantastical, like a fairy tale described by the maids before going to bed – and even more. There is no fighting, no harm, and there is eternal peace. Shanaido paddled through the water, slowly moving through the stillness of the water, almost losing track of time.

Until a crystal several people tall appeared in front of her.

The crystal is crystal clear and beautiful and flawless. If it is placed in the human world, it must be a priceless treasure. But in the fantastic underwater world, it can only be regarded as average. It's just that what attracts Shanaiduo is not the crystal itself, but the person in the crystal.

A man sealed in crystal.

In the huge crystal, a girl is sleeping quietly with her eyes closed. She leaned against a large wooden cross, and as if the legendary Savior had suffered for mortals, the girl's limbs had been pierced by old iron nails. And on her chest, there is a pure black two-handed sword.

The two-handed sword looked unusually ordinary, and there was nothing special about it, just like the two-handed sword that could be found everywhere in the country blacksmith shops. Only the black two-dimensional pattern twisted on the sword's body faintly hints at its extraordinaryness.

Judging from her appearance alone, the girl in the crystal is not very old, probably only in her teens. The girl was not very tall, and was even slightly shorter than the fourteen-year-old Shanaiduo. A head of white hair that had lost all its color was scattered in the crystal, reflecting the girl's incomparably weak and beautiful.

She wore a small black cap on her head, and the hat was decorated with a large and lovely peach. The girl wore a plain white short-sleeved dress with a small red bow tied at the collar. The outer layer of the pure white dress is also inlaid with small accessories like a seven-colored rainbow.

The girl is really cute.

It's just that the girl's eyes are closed at the moment, and her body is glowing with terrible death intent.

"In the sea of consciousness. It's normal for anything to happen. ”

No matter how you look at it, this girl appears in this beautiful underwater world, and it is so out of tune. The kind girl comforted herself so much that she still looked away. She didn't have much time left. She had to find Sinloth's consciousness as soon as possible.

The girl was about to turn around, but when her gaze swept over the big sword on the girl's chest, there was a trance in her mind. As if someone was influencing her, her mouth lost control and she involuntarily used a strange tone. Said a strange name: "Sinloth. The ...... of the Worlds"

"Don't !!"

The white-haired girl in the crystal suddenly opened her blood-red eyes, and she wailed, and an invisible sound came out of her mouth. The crystal that seemed to be incomparably hard trembled, and it turned into a fragment of the ground at the sound of her call. But the sound wave did not stop there, just like a pebble dropped in the calm water of the lake, and the originally quiet seabed suddenly set off a monstrous wave. The invisible sound wave centered on the girl and continued to radiate towards the surroundings.

Sonic incarnates into a legendary scourge that turns the entire underwater world into a mess. Despite this, the unconscious Shanaiduo shone with a black light. A wall of pitch-black water protected her layer by layer. And Shanaiduo, whose mind was blank, didn't seem to notice the abnormality in front of him at all, just looked at the black two-handed sword in front of him in a daze. Word by word, the old name was told.

"Sinloth. ...... of the Worlds Destroyer! ”

"Damn it!"

The girl with long white hair roared angrily, her hands were wrapped with an incomparably thick pure white holy light, and the girl subconsciously wanted to grab the black two-handed sword on her chest. It's just that her movements are a beat slower in the end.

There was a cramping pain in her chest, and the black two-handed sword had left her chest. The black two-handed sword burned with pitch-black flames, and after a moment, the originally wide sword body transformed into a black two-headed snake. It's just that one of the heads of the two-headed snake has been brutally cut off at this time, and the other snake head also looks weak.

The two-headed snake opened its blood-red eyes and spat out at the white-haired girl. It turned into a cloud of black light and disappeared into the dark sea.

Boom, boom, boom......

And with its disappearance, the sea, which was originally relatively stable, seems to be hot water poured into a pan of oil. It began to boil wildly. The already chaotic underwater world is like a 12-magnitude earthquake. The creatures living leisurely in the underwater world were terrified and fled in all directions.

Where the sea and the sky meet, a small black vortex appears. And in the blink of an eye, this black vortex has become incomparably huge. Endless power poured into the black vortex, a moment later. Carrying black seawater, it turned into a black tornado. In the dark clouds, black lightning fell from time to time. But the black tornado was unaware, it spun wildly, and the water vapor swept through the world with a gale of wind. In a trance, it looks like the end has come.

"It's too late......"

The white-haired girl looked at the boiling black sea overhead, and her gaze was extremely complicated. Just when the confused Shanaiduo came back to her senses and wanted to ask her questions, she came to Shanaiduo's side in a flash. The small, white palm was lightly imprinted on Shanaiduo's back, a seemingly light blow, but with unparalleled power. Before Shanaiduo could say a word, he was already carried by this terrifying power, and rushed towards the sea quickly.

"Quick, go and kill a guy named Sinloth...... Before all else can be reversed......" said the white-haired girl, closing her eyes again. She clasped her hands into fists on her chest, as if praying for something. And a pair of incomparably wide white wings also stretched out from her back. The incomparable divine power instantly enveloped the entire black sea.

Shanaiduo was enveloped by this huge force, and rushed out of the sea in an instant. But before she could catch her breath, a gentle force fell on her body accurately. Shanaiduo looked at the source of this power, but found that in the dense dark clouds, a small opening that exuded a faint light had broken at some point.

In addition to her, Ellie also exclaimed, carried by this gentle power, and flew towards the small mouth.

It was Xanalott who had come to pick them up.

Shanaido did not resist the gentle power, she lowered her head again, staring at the sea beneath her feet. The divine white swept the entire ocean in an instant, and the originally gloomy ocean became sacred because of the pure white power. Under the shroud of white light, even the black tornado, which looked vicious and abnormal, had a little cuteness. And in this sacred color, the black two-headed snake in the pitch-black tornado has become extremely conspicuous.

The white-haired girl prayed, sweat sliding down her smooth forehead. In the divine light, the originally turbulent ocean was gradually frozen by countless crystals.

"I can't hold out for too long...... Fast...... Running out of time......"

The white-haired girl's words vaguely rang in her ears, but before Shanado could reply, she and Ellie had already broken through the clouds and entered the world that emitted a faint white light.

Shanaido's eyes turned white and he lost consciousness.

……

"I didn't expect you to succeed in one attempt."

It's still that room, it's still the green-robed witch. Shanaiduo woke up, but it was like a world away. She looked at Xanalot in a daze, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

And Ellie's situation looked similar, the girl was stunned, and there was confusion in her big bright eyes.

"You must have peeked at Sinloth's memories, right? That's not a good habit. The reaction of the two was so obvious that Xanalot didn't even need to guess to understand the reason for the way they looked. The green-robed witch shrugged her shoulders and continued, "If you see it, you can see it, but don't mention it to Sinloth. No matter how intimate, peeking at each other's memories will always be disgusting to him......"

Ellie nodded ignorantly, and Shanado looked down at her fingertips. I don't know if it's an illusion, but on the girl's slender fingers, a trace of two-dimensional patterns exuding strange patterns is quickly seeping into her fingers.

It's probably dazzling, how can things in dreams become reality.

"That...... Miss Xanalot, whatever appears in the sea of consciousness is just the owner's fantasy, right? ”

Xanarot nodded, affirming Shanaido's thoughts: "I don't know what you see in his sea of consciousness, but everything is fake and impossible...... Everything in it is just a memory of the owner, or a personality orientation...... Don't be fooled by what's inside, it's all untrue. ”

"I understand."

The girl in the dream told me to kill Cynroth, and it was certainly not true. But since she did it, there must be a reason...... Yes, it's everyone's self-destructive consciousness. Everyone has this kind of awareness, but sometimes it doesn't show up obviously. And when everyone fails or loses, this consciousness will begin to show its power.

The sense of self-destruction in Xinluos's heart is so strong, it must be that he has had a hard time all these years. Come to think of it, he is so young, but he has to shoulder the responsibility of the territory, and the pressure on his shoulders must be very great. As a family member, he has no elders above, so he can only face the warmth and coldness of the world alone.

The kind girl turned her head to look at Xinluos who was sleeping on the bed, and her eyes became more and more gentle. (To be continued.) )

In other words, I found that every time I finished the first chapter, it was around 10 o'clock, and then the time of the second chapter became very delicate, and then the lazy cancer began to attack......
