The stairs formed by the coral are a different feeling when stepping barefoot, and some fine algae poke their heads out of the gaps in the coral stairs, gently rubbing the skin on the soles of their feet, making people always have an itchy feeling when walking. Each step of the stairs is very high, but this is in the deep sea, and even with the adjustment of amphibious beads, you will still feel a slight buoyancy in the water, and with this benefit, you can float up and ascend to the upper step with a light step, and the hundred steps are quickly thrown under the body and come to the gate of the temple.

The temple did not have a gate, and the main entrance led to the inside of the temple without any obstruction, and when you looked through the main entrance, it was pitch black and you could not see anything, which was completely different from the light emitted by the phosphorus algae covering the outer walls of the temple.

"Please come in. Finding that the girls were a little hesitant at the door of the temple to the dark interior, Doris smiled warmly with a little cunning, blinked and said, "Go in and understand." ”

Before the maidens could say anything more, Pannis was already ahead of them and strode through the doors of the temple. Someone used actions to reassure the girls, and the girls no longer hesitated, Catherine nodded to Doris, who was naughty and waiting to see a good show, and slowly walked into the door tentatively. There is nothing special about the space inside the gate, it is pitch black, and you can only feel the light shining from behind, but you can't break through the position of your body, that is, no one can see through the darkness in front of you, and you can only grope and walk in the dark. After taking seven or eight steps forward along the darkness, Catherine suddenly felt a weight in her body, as if she had broken through a thin membrane, and in the next moment, the light returned to her eyes, and in addition to seeing the light again, she heard a voice in her ears again, not the kind of speech simulated by using props, but the real, gurgling sound of water that she was used to hearing every day.

"This, this, what's going on?" Catherine suddenly couldn't adapt to the weight of her body, and subconsciously asked, and the moment she spoke, she found that she could not only see the light, hear the sound, but even smell the smell, and breathe and speak normally, and then she realized that she seemed to have left the sea water that she had been with day and night for two days, and came to a dry environment.

Catherine looked down at her hands, no longer as if they were immersed in the water as if they were separated by a layer of mist, but really saw it directly, and then looked at the ground at her feet, the dry ground was wet by the dripping seawater from her body.

"It's ...... Is it really out of the water?" Catherine asked Pannis, who was looking at her with her arms crossed and looking at her with a funny look. Before Pannis could reply, there were several sounds of water behind him, and the other three girls appeared beside Catherine in turn. With the person behind her as a reference, Catherine figured out what was going on. In the corridor behind it, there seems to be an invisible barrier that blocks the sea water from the corridor, making the inside and outside of the barrier two completely different worlds.

"Be careful. As if he knew what was going to happen, Pannis held out as soon as Vivien walked in. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the waterless space, Vivien's legs crooked and fell straight forward, but fortunately, even if Pannis reached out to hold on, she didn't fall to the ground: "Just left the water, you can readjust the control of your strength." ”

"Is that why Doris was so mysterious just now?" Lina's eyes danced with curiosity, and she asked as she stroked the dry walls of the coral reef, "What's going on? Why is there suddenly a space without water? This is the bottom of the sea, and how strong the water pressure needs to be fought to open up such an area." ”

"Don't forget, this is the Temple, and the main temple of Khaleto, the god of the sea and the storm. Pannis let go of Vivien, who was getting used to it, and whispered, "This is an extension of the will of the gods, and it's not surprising that anything happens." ”

"Does it include using divine power to fight against the pressure of the deep sea?" Catherine stared blankly at the scene in front of her, the temple in front of her was not much different from their counterparts on land, the crystal energy lamps hung high on both sides of the closed corridor, the sea flags representing the gods were hung on the high vaults, the air was filled with a slight smell of sea that was unique to the seaside, and from the depths of the corridor came a burst of chanting and chanting.

"Wrong. At some point, Doris was already standing behind the girls with Lana and Lamia, and the rest of them were supposed to have returned from the other entrance. Dressed in dry priestly robes, with their delicate feet bare on the ground, their wet hair scattered over their shoulders, the three Sea Clans had transformed into human form, and they were smiling at them with a calm face. Hearing Catherine's words, Doris corrected in a gentle tone like the sister next door: "It's not against water pressure, the ocean is a part of my god, and everything in the ocean is under my god's control." So it was not a confrontation, but a command, and our god said, "Let the sea water avoid the temple and not enter the temple," and the sea receded from the temple, and the temple became a dry space. ”

"But, why?" Catherine asked puzzled, "You are all sea tribes, there is no need to open up such a waterless space as a temple, there is no need at all." ”

"No, it's necessary, and it's necessary. Doris didn't explain again, but took the initiative to lead everyone deeper into the corridor. Lan Na, who was dragging behind, explained for her mother: "There are a large number of sea tribes, their size is larger than the entire temple, and some are even larger than several temples combined, and it is impossible to establish a place where they can gather together to worship and pray, so in the end, it is uniformly stipulated that entering the temple must be transformed into a land form, and the land form is about the same size as a human being, so as not to be too crowded or unable to enter the embarrassing situation." However, another problem arose, the land form was not convenient for moving in the water, so we prayed to the gods and classified the temple area as a water shelter, so that all the problems were solved. ”

"Well, the size problem is really bothersome. Catherine imagined the scene when there were several temple-sized sea beasts trying to enter the temple, shook her head and sighed, "It's good that we don't have to think about this aspect, and this result is really good for us, otherwise even if there are amphibious beads, the underwater world will always be troublesome." ”

Walking down the corridor and through several arches, the girls were surprised to find themselves standing in a courtyard. There is no shelter above the courtyard, and when you look up, you can see a black dome made up of a large amount of seawater. Above the dome, there are occasional glowing sea fish swimming leisurely, like shooting stars streaked across the sky at night.

The garden is dotted with corals, and the colorful corals grow on the ground, changing colors under the light, reflecting a dreamlike halo. In the gap between the large clumps of coral, some stone tables and chairs are carved out of unknown stones, and the surface of the tables and chairs is smooth and warm, and it is very comfortable to sit on. Looking at all this, the maidens could almost imagine going to the courtyard after dinner, strolling among the corals, or lying on the warm stone chairs and gazing at the occasional light on the dome. Such a scene gives the girls a very strange feeling, like leisure, but there is an indescribable loneliness.

"Come this way. Doris turned back and said, "I think you'd better go and wash yourself first, wash all the salt off your bodies, and then change your clothes." It's almost time for dinner, and I've prepared a dinner for everyone, and the courtesy reception has ended outside the temple, so the dinner is a small family feast, a family feast for my daughter's new friend. ”

Catherine wanted to refuse these entertainments, and just wanted to understand the situation of the task as soon as possible and complete the task, but when she looked up and saw Doris's expectant smile like a hospitable mother, her heart couldn't help but soften, and she nodded subconsciously.

"Hey, you've got enough. Pannis suddenly coughed heavily, squinting at Doris who was smiling happily: "Don't secretly use your seductive talent on such inconsequential issues, is it necessary?"

"Then I don't care, you've already agreed anyway. Doris's face was full of joy in the success of her tricks, and the cunning and liveliness revealed in her demure made her look less like Lanna's mother, more like a sister: "I just don't like you human habits, you are in a hurry to do everything, and it is not interesting at all." It's better to relax, take a leisurely time, and rest for a night, there won't be much to lose. ”

"Heh, thank you. Although she was disturbed by her natural charm, Catherine really couldn't be angry about this kind of thing, so she could only smile bitterly and shake her head, and even Lan Na on the side seemed to feel ashamed of her mother's behavior, and turned her head awkwardly not to look at her.

"I've told you before, you can't compare like that. Pannis sighed: "You live at the bottom of the sea, day and night are the same, you don't feel the passage of time, and your life is long, it doesn't make much difference to you whether it's a minute or a day, but humans are different, every day is precious." ”

Doris blinked and said to several girls: "Come with me, I will take you to your room first, just entered the bottom of the sea, you had better spend three days living here, not only the rest and physical rest that I told you before, but you also need to be familiar with the fighting methods and communication methods under the sea, otherwise it is very dangerous to enter the battle unprepared like this." ”

"Hey, don't ignore me. Pannis, pulling his hair in annoyance, said, "So, your character is really bad." (To be continued.) )
