The beginning of the journey to the Land of Dreams, the Messenger of the Holy City dive vehicle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Holy City, for the remote Shiokai people, is a place of legend, it is said to be full of incredible miracles, and it is a place where the gods directly created. However, the sea is too vast and full of creatures that are dangerous even for the people of Shiokai, and their dense bodies are not able to swim as freely as fish, so it is very dangerous to hike very long distances in the outer ocean.

In those villages that have been registered in the Holy City, a portion of the new children of each generation can choose to study in the Holy City...... Even if they are not allowed to use the tools they bring back directly to the Holy City, those advanced ideas and knowledge will still be used by the Xihai people who choose to go back to greatly improve the living environment of their clansmen. Most travelers have to take care of their own travel problems, either by preparing for the hike or by designing their own vehicles, with the exception of children from remote villages who return to the holy city after their first trip to the holy city and after their studies, both of which are specially escorted by the holy city, which is said to have been the rule set by the gods themselves.

In addition, if you want to go to the Holy City, you have to find your own way, and some of the Shiokai people who have studied in the Holy City have even begun to use the tools they have learned to make some rudimentary vehicles...... Most of these are ordinary students, because the real top students are often absorbed into the core area to conduct some confidential research, and their results are not allowed to circulate. However, even these rudimentary vehicles greatly promoted the development of communication between different villages, and even gave birth to some Shiokai people who claimed to be travelers.

They are not willing to stay in their original village, nor are they willing to stay in the holy city forever, this is a group of Xihai people full of exploration and pioneering spirit. Of course, there are two kinds of people, one is the technical party who can assemble travel tools by themselves, and the other is the wealthy people who can directly buy ready-made tools. In short, these travelers are explorers who do not want to stay in one place and are not afraid of the dangers of the journey, their job is to travel around, roaming the boundless ocean, on the one hand, after discovering rare minerals or biological resources, they can collect them themselves or contact the Holy City as a contribution, and on the other hand, they also connect the scattered Shiokai settlements more closely, and constantly discover new remote settlements...... Salted Fish Village is one such settlement.

Most of the Shiokai villages are very welcoming to travelers, which is an important source of information about the outside world, many villages will offer to help them with supplies, and sometimes travelers will reveal some valuable information about places near the village to show their gratitude.

The gods have performed a great deal of miracles, but unless they are developed from scratch, most of the ready-made tools are never allowed to be taken out of the Holy City for use, let alone spread to every village, and the people of Shiokai who once tried to break the rules have been subjected to terrible punishments that are unspeakable, and there have never been exceptions.

Those students who returned to the village were not forbidden to spread knowledge, although ready-made tools were forbidden to be taken away, but everything learned could be disseminated, however, the process was not as easy as imagined. The people of Shiohai do not have paper books, because all ordinary paper will be quickly destroyed in the sea, and those waterproof special paper and electronic display screens are not allowed to be taken from the holy city.

What? You said bring some slate to carve down the message and bring it back? Pick-up and drop-off in the Holy City is a charity rather than an obligation, and if you take a few boxes of heavy stone slabs with you, do you plan to jump off on your own initiative or be kicked by someone else?

Syllable!

A crisp and loud hand knife suddenly forcibly pulled Yun Yun, whose eyes began to gradually collapse, back to reality...... That's right, as you've heard, since the head and hands of the Shiokai people are covered with a hard cyan carapace, the hand knife is completely crisp and loud in the literal sense. Yun Yun reflexively shrank her head and faced the Xihai girl who stood on tiptoe and gave her a hand knife.

Yes, you heard it right, just tiptoe to give a hand knife.

"Sister Xiaoxi, I was wrong......" Yun Yun looked at the one head shorter than her in front of her...... Among the people of Shiohai, she can even be regarded as a stunted girl, but she shrank her head tremblingly. This time, only two of them were selected by the children who went to the Holy City from Salted Fish Village, and although the girl named Xiaoxi in front of her was a natural stupid person in every sense, she was always full of unexpected majesty in front of her.

Hawkers, probably this is the so-called one thing to one thing.

"But I can't help it, I'm really sleepy, I should have gone to bed so late when I'm super bored......" Yun Yun thought in pieces, and her eyes began to collapse at a clearly visible speed......

Syllable!

Xiaoxi didn't hesitate, and with another crisp hand knife, she forcibly woke up Yun Yun who was in a drowsy state, and at the same time smiled a little embarrassedly at the village chief next to him who said, "I really don't understand the world of young people, I'm really old": "That village chief, Yun Yun didn't mean it......"

What a rude act it would be if the person in charge of the Holy City came and found that the person to be picked up had fallen asleep in the wilderness!

"So why can't we wait inside the village, but wait silently on the mountain outside in the wilderness for the other party to emerge from the darkness and take them away...... Are we the boys and girls who were eaten by the monsters as a tribute from the village? Yun Yun rubbed her dizzy head and said.

"I heard that the anchor grass forest near the village will make it impossible for the vehicles transported by the Holy City to pass through smoothly." The village chief watched helplessly as the two children played, it was impossible for the village to send all the children to study, because someone had to continue hunting and gathering food, and these children who were sent were actually a few lucky ones, hoping that they could perform better in the Holy City, "but it should be almost there." ”

As if to confirm the thoughts of several people, a low hum suddenly came from the dark water...... After all, it was in the deep sea, and even the light bacteria on their bodies together couldn't illuminate much of the vicinity, so the people of Shiohai judged the danger more by sound, and this low voice, even the well-informed village chief had never heard it, and he could only be sure that this sound was not something that any kind of dangerous predator he knew could make.

Probably this is the person in charge of bringing the children from the Holy City.

With the bright light piercing the dark world, the light that far exceeded the brightness of the photobacteria made them reach out and block their eyes, and after getting used to the light a little, the streamlined object as deep as sea water had slid in front of them...... It was a slender black object that was dozens of meters long, and several places on the surface that emitted bright light even illuminated a large area nearby, and Yun Yun looked closely and couldn't find anything called a propeller that those travelers were using.

"Don't look for it, this is not a simple thing made by those travelers, but a deep submersible directly assigned from within the Holy City." A voice answered her question, and Yun Yun looked up, just in time to see a male Xihai who looked a few years older than her poking his head out of the cracked crack in the side of the black object, and beckoned to her with a playful smile.

But......

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Because you've said it, stupid!" Xiao Xi stood on tiptoe mercilessly and smashed a knife on Yun Yun's head, watching the latter cover his head and squatting on the ground with a pitiful look, then he smiled at the guide with some apologies, "I'm sorry, that ......"

"Just call me senior." The guide seemed a little embarrassed, but the Shiokai people couldn't see any obvious blush.

He stepped out of the submersible and tinkered with it somewhere behind it before he saw a completely sealed black box fall out of the back and onto the ground below...... The side length of this box is about one meter, and it looks very heavy. After doing this, he nodded to the village chief on the side: "This is the support food this time, a total of ten groups, a total of 6,400 packs. ”

The Holy City is not completely unclear about taking away the young laborers of the village, at least it will compensate in terms of materials, and the food provided by the Holy City with embalming technology and closed packaging is not like those prey that cannot be kept for a few days, and can even become a life-saving thing in times of crisis, and the village chief does not dare to treat these foods lightly.

"Enough, enough." The village chief nodded again and again, pointing at Yun Yun and Xiaoxi, "These are these two children selected by our Salted Fish Village this time. ”

"Puff puff puff ......" the senior suddenly squirted, but he soon realized that his behavior was very rude, and waved his hand embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I can't help but want to laugh even though I've heard it......"

"Why do you feel more and more ......" Yun Yun glanced at the food, "We are the boys and girls that the villagers sacrificed to the monsters for food......

Syllable! It's still a daily knife attack.

"That...... Does it really matter if it doesn't matter? The senior looked at Yun Yun squatting on the ground and holding her head pitifully, and seemed to be a little sluggish.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yun Yun covered her head and stood up from the ground, "This kind of thing is not torture but happiness, speaking of which, senior, are you responsible for guiding alone?" It feels like it's amazing. ”

The senior's expression seemed to suddenly become embarrassed: "Actually, it stands to reason that the guide should not be in charge alone, but no one wants to walk with me...... It's okay, just think of it as a workout in advance, but I plan to be a traveler in the future. ”

"Is that so?" Yun Yun first climbed into the submersible along the hatch, and then reached out and pulled Xiaoxi, who was still trying to reach the submersible hatch on tiptoe, in, and then she remembered what she had forgotten, "Speaking of which, I don't know what your name is, senior." ”

"That, just call me Xuefeng." The senior said.

For some reason, Yun Yun suddenly felt a terrible chill welling up in her heart.
