The girls turned their heads neatly to Pannis, their eyes filled with questions and inquiries. Pannis scratched his head innocently, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh no, I forgot." ”

The girls didn't bother to express their anger anymore, as they found themselves hearing Pannis's voice. Yes, at a depth of more than 2,000 meters, in a space filled with seawater, they heard the voice of Pannis. Pannis's voice also changed, deeper than the original, but the girls could still hear that the voice belonged to Pannis. Vivien, who had the most knowledge, reached out her finger to touch the collar around her neck, gently stroking the spar attached to the collar.

"Yes, just by this hedron. In a deep voice, Pannis explained, "The Sea Tribes are different from the land races in that they have an extra set of vocal and auditory organs. When we are on land, we speak by vibrating the air through our vocal cords, generating sound waves that spread to the surroundings and then receiving them by our ears, which is the process by which we hear sounds. The process of another set of underwater vocal organs of the sea tribe is similar to this, except that they vibrate not with air, but with seawater, and the vibration does not form sound waves, but forms a unique water wave that spreads around, and then the second set of hearing organs automatically forms sound in the brain after receiving the water waves. Now this set of props on the collar is to imitate this set of organs of the sea tribe, and the pearls on the collar are magic props. As for the voice, it depends on this spar. When you want to speak, you don't need to speak, you can directly control the vibration of your vocal cords, and the hedron will automatically convert the vibration into water waves. However, this kind of prop is not available to everyone, only professionals can use it if they have a good ability to control their bodies, and it is difficult for ordinary people to do it. ”

"Mr. Pannis is talking about the standard way of use. Lamia said with a straight face: "You can try it now, most of the people who can use this prop will be able to say simple sentences after half an hour of trying." But if you want to say a lot like Mr. Pannis, you probably can't do it without five or six days of practice. ”

Silence returned to the bottom of the sea, and the three people who could talk fell silent, silently waiting for the girls to familiarize themselves with the tools. Soon, in the silent sea, there began to be special fluctuations, through the transformation of props, what came to the girls' own ears were bursts of meaningless strange sounds and roars, which could not form a complete sentence at all.

"Don't worry, say it slowly, word by word. "Just like a baby learning to speak, start with the simplest words and gradually become more complex, so that if you can speak so quickly, it should be easy to say a complete sentence." ”

"Me. Soon, the first audible word came out, and the first one to make a full sound was Vivien. With a strange smile on her face, Vivien tried to spit out a few words before saying, "I, straight, receive, control, control, sound, belt, altogether, vibrate, up." Only, to, change, change, one, point, altogether, vibrate, of, amplitude, degree, just, can, to, like, I, flat, time, say, talk, up. ”

"Well, you're playing tricks. Pannis immediately understood Vivien's method and smiled bitterly, "But it's really a simple thing for you. ”

"Yes. And, I, usually, talk, pretty much. Vivien spoke more and more fluently: "Anyway, I usually do, too, directly, control the vocal cords, come, vocalize." Open your mouth, shut your mouth, these are just, in order to appear normal, deliberately, made. It can be seen that marionettes, still, have favorable aspects. ”

"I think it's better not to have this advantage. Pannis said helplessly: "And this kind of technique, except for making a sound with the help of props underwater, is meaningless and useless." ”

"With that, that's enough. Vivien quickly got used to speaking like this, and said skillfully, "There was silence for two days. Finally, I can speak normally. ”

"Ahhh "The girls really started with the simplest monosyllables the way babies learned to speak, and everyone had an excited expression on their faces, as if they had taken it as if it were a very interesting game. Soon after, a second successful person also appeared, and Catherine, after successfully letting out an "oops", quickly spit out a few normal words in a happy voice: "money, gold coins, diamonds, jewelry, antiques, ......"

"Oh my gosh. Pannis covered his face as if he was broken, and said with a groan: "How fanatical are you about money, and you won't let go of these valuable things even if you start learning to speak again." ”

"Of course. Catherine was not annoyed, probably thinking the game was fun, and said intermittently: "If, can't, call, these, cute, name." Learning, talking, and, what, what, meaning?"

In Pannis's frustration, several girls soon mastered the skills of pronunciation with props, although the others except Vivian were still not fluent in speech, but the girls who had not made a sound for two days finally breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they would not spend this unknown length of time in silence as expected.

"It's the same as normal talking. Lamia concluded: "There are two important things to remember when controlling the amplitude of the vibration to adjust the volume, first, water waves are more easily disturbed than sound waves, so it is difficult to hear clearly in turbulent currents or when there is more intense activity. Second, remember that you are not the only ones who can hear your voice on land, but also in the water, and it is not only you who can sense your vibrations, but also sea beasts or other sea tribes. Thirdly, although the water waves vibrate in all directions, the collar you wear only simulates our articulatory organs, and cannot perfectly reproduce all functions. Note that the hedron on the collar is directly in front of you, so it's best to speak to the target, otherwise you may only hear a faint murmur. ”

"Two important things?" Pannis sighed and teased, "This is the Naga's unique method of counting." ”

Lamia's rigid face still didn't change, but her eyes blinked quickly, and she turned her head and pointed to the Coral Tree Forest and said, "This is the Pilgrimage Forest, and for countless years, pilgrims who go to the temple have followed this ramp to enter the Divine Trench, and the Tempest Temple is in the depths of the trench, at a depth of four thousand and sixty meters above sea level. ”

"Hey, don't ignore me. Pannis's deep voice was full of displeasure, but it was pitiful that no one paid any attention to him.

"The temple is down there?" Catherine asked, trying to communicate, "I can't see it at all, and there are no guards, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the monsters of the sea?" ”

"The Deep Sea Sea Clan is a very powerful race, and it is favored by the sea god, and it is inherently deterrent to the sea monsters, unless there are some very powerful individuals, no sea beasts dare to attack the sea tribe. So you don't have to worry about the attack of the monsters when you are with us, but you have to be careful if you leave our neighborhood, there are likely to be sea beasts that will use you as food. Lamia explained like a textbook: "As for the temple, don't worry, it's the land of the gods, and whether it's a demonic beast or an ordinary fish in the ocean, they are all deterred by the gods, and even if they are damaged, they will never dare to attack, so there is no need to guard or anything." But although it's not necessary, there are actually guards, and near the temple, it's still about ten kilometers away from the temple, and there are definitely no guards to be seen. ”

"So far?" Lina had also mastered the art of controlling her pronunciation, and although she was not wearing glasses, her expressionless face, like Lamia, indicated her current state: "Why did you land here? Isn't it faster to swim there than to walk all the way to the bottom of the sea?"

"Because you're here for the first time. Lan Na said patiently, "So it's better to walk there." ”

"It's a matter of faith. Pannis explained to her: "Although people do not believe in Khaleto, the god of the sea, there should be a minimum of respect, and this is one of the ways to express respect." The Pilgrimage Forest and the Faith Trail are a devotional journey that first-time worshippers must walk through, and it would be disrespectful to swim directly to them. It's like going to your Earth Temple, although most races don't have this problem, but if the Winged Humans fly directly to the door of your temple when they go for the first time, you probably won't be too happy. ”

"Hmm, it turns out that for the Sea Clan, swimming in the water is similar to the Winged Humans flying in the sky?" Vivian touched her pocket and found that it was impossible to take out the notebook, so she could only sigh: "This is knowledge that no one has written, and it must be written down, which is very helpful for understanding the Ocean Race." ”

"Let's go, ten kilometers. Catherine stepped on the fine sand under her feet, and walked on it barefoot, feeling a little different from the beach: "But I didn't expect that the underwater world is not much different from the outside, this beach, this forest, if it weren't for the fact that it is surrounded by seawater, I really thought it was on some strange island." ”

"Of course, the bottom of the sea is also part of the world. Lanna smiled and said, "Maybe our lives are a little different from the land races, but there is no difference in nature, and we are also dependents of the gods. ”

"Shhhh Pannis suddenly interrupted the conversation of several people: "Someone is coming." ”

"Huh. The two Sea Tribesmen were stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There are indeed people who have come, coming out of the path of faith, is this someone who is ready to return after finishing their visit?"

"It's not like, four people, swimming out. Pannis closed his eyes and felt for a while and said, "It should be from the temple." (To be continued.) )
