Chapter 48: The Ancestors
After the little fish people entered the hall, they quieted down and took the initiative to stand in two teams.
Although this room is not as magical as the village chief said, it also lets them know the seriousness and solemnity of this place since they were young.
Green didn't like to huddle together, so he naturally stood last.
The door slammed shut. On the first floor of the room there is nothing but a variety of carved columns of fish-men, and on the other side of the hall are two tall square stone piers with stone carvings of a seven-stringed lyre and a trident.
The village chief turned his head to look at these quiet and solemn children, and a trace of relief finally rose in his lonely heart.
Then they began to inaugurate, but it might have been just a strange ritual for them.
The little fishmen walked between the two stone sculptures in turn, closed their eyes and sank for a while, and then opened their eyes and were led by him to the seaweed ring in the disappointed eyes of the village chief.
It's as simple as that.
The fur dog was one in front of Grimm, and he was seen standing between two stone piers, his eyes closed. Then he opened his eyes again after a while. Then he walked to the village chief on the side and put on a seaweed ring, and then walked out.
He made a quick face to Green, and hurried out, and now there was no one in the hall, which made him a little nervous.
He pushed the door open with all his might, and then rushed out.
Squeak –
The door seemed to jam for a moment, then closed again.
Just as Green was about to step forward and start the demon, the village chief suddenly raised his hand with difficulty to stop him, and then sighed.
Before he could react, he heard a voice in the hall.
"I'm sorry, I was going to wait until you're all done before sneaking in on my own." An old voice sounded, sounding older than the village chief.
The transparent water in front of him wriggled for a while, revealing two figures, one large and one small.
This sentence was clearly uttered by the larger figure.
Their upper body is human-like, and the lower half of their body has a fishtail, but because they are so old, their tail can only be spread on the ground weakly.
Siren, also known as the Siren. Green remembered that the village chief had told him about these races, which were mainly based in the Aegean region. He still remembers the village chief saying at the time that these were compatriots.
Also belongs to Atlantis.
"Yusan, since you decided to do this in the first place, why did you come out to disgust my eyes?" The village chief spoke slowly, but the words he said in a soft tone were not polite at all.
The old man, known as Yu San, didn't care about what the village chief said at all, but laughed.
"Garyu, your mouth still stinks like shark meat! Instead, I want to ask you why there is an 'ancestor' in the remnant pile. As he spoke, he pointed at Green solemnly.
"Remnants? Ancestors? He remembered what the village chief had just said that everyone in the fish-man group was a remnant of Atlantis.
"Tell me, Garry, tell me how you made this guy." The third old man looked at Green with an excited expression.
"I have never done the so-called 'cultivation', he is a gift from God." At the mention of Green, the village chief also laughed happily.
"You ......," Green said with a look on his face. What remnants, ancestors. What a nurture, a gift or something. What does that mean?
"Looks like this kid has some questions! Then it's up to me to tell him, how is it, no problem! Add streams. Yu San looked at Green with a kind face.
Seeing Green's expression, the village chief thought for a while, and nodded solemnly, saying it now or in the future.
Seeing the village chief nodding, Yu San also smiled, and then sat down. The little kraken who had followed him before just lay on the ground, serving as a stool for him without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Jialiu's eyes twitched, and he especially wanted to go up and smoke the guy, although it seems that everyone is chatting well now, but people like Yusan will not come here for no reason, and there must be a confrontation in strength in a while.
"They fishmen, our krakens, and the Naga who live in the Eritrean Sea are all compatriots, you should know this, after all, you weren't surprised to see me just now." Yu San said slowly, like an old pedant.
Green nodded, he knew that. The Eritrean Sea is now the Indian Ocean, where the Naga live, and it is said that colonial wars have begun on that part of the land.
"The Fishmen, the Kraken, and the Naga are all remnants of Atlantis.
As the name suggests, the remnant means that we are left behind, and now Atlantis has fallen.
From the people of Atlantis to the current remnants, there have been three stages. ”
Yu San said this, glanced at Green, and made sure he understood before continuing: "It is said that Atlantis was, was a human city on the sea, that is to say, as Atlantis, we were human beings at the beginning."
"Human?!" Green was frightened and cried out, how could it be a human, that greedy, stupid creature.
"Yes, at that time, our ancestors were the best in the world in magic, but for unknown and unrivaled reasons, Atlantis sank into the sea.
It may sound paradoxical, but it's true: Atlantis, the world's most powerful company, was sunk into the ocean for unknown reasons. ”
"But at that time, our ancestors were not helpless. After we were sunk into the sea, some of us chose to leave Atlantis.
But there are also some people who are reluctant to give up those advanced magical studies, and choose to transform their own flesh into what you are now. As he spoke, Yu San looked at Green with a happy face, as if he had seen some treasure
Is this also called "not helpless"? "Green doesn't know what to say, it's obvious that he can't resist and can only accept it!
"Got it? The people of that period chose the most advanced physical transformation at that time. If you've ever seen a human, you'll know that most of you look more like a human.
This is the ancestors. ”
said, he was a little lonely, "Our remnants have gradually divided, evolved, and degenerated in the past thousand years. ”
And it's not just our flesh that has degraded, but also the great civilization we've built. I don't know how many years no one has been able to get those two things.
And to open them, the most basic requirement is to have the blood of the ancestors. This is also the sign that we are called the remnants. Ever since no one succeeded in initiating demons three hundred years ago, the concept of the remnants has been born. ”
"Got it?" As he spoke, he asked Grimm gently.
"Understood. After the original Atlanteans sank into the sea, some of them chose to return to the sea, turning themselves into half-human, half-fish creatures. That is, people like me. You are called "ancestors"
Then the ancestors evolved and split into three races over time: the Kraken, the Fishmen, and the Naga. These three races are collectively referred to as the Remnants.
And the ritual of enlightenment contains ancient and powerful knowledge.
But the current remnants can't successfully perform the demon initiation ritual, so this ritual has become a formality just like it is today, right? Green sorted out and repeated what Yu San said.
"Except for the last sentence that is wrong, everything else is completely true. What I'm going to tell you is that the ritual of initiation is not a formality. At least not today. Yu San said with some pride.
As he spoke, he pointed to the two stone piers on the steps, and as if remembering the purpose of this time, he stood up, and the little kraken behind him also stood up again.
Then, he looked at the two stone piers with blazing eyes,
"Garyu, hehe, I almost forgot my purpose, although I am curious about your method of cultivating this ancestor, but compared to my purpose, this kind of trivial matter is not worth paying attention to." As he spoke, he put his hand on the shoulder of the little kraken next to him, whose eyes were blank, as if it were one of his puppets.
"After all, I have also cultivated the blood of my ancestors, although there have been some small sacrifices in the process. But it's worth it. "It seems that the 'blood of the ancestors' he is talking about is the little kraken next to him.
However, his appearance is not the same as that of an "ancestor" like Linde, and I think it can be associated with the cultivation he said.
"If it weren't for this ancestor, I wouldn't have run out to disgust your eyes, and I wouldn't come out until you're all done. But not anymore. I had to take both of those things into my own hands.
I've got the Waver's "Currents" kept by the Naga clan.
My intention this time is to get the "Revelation of the Tide" of the Ocean Singer and the "Abyss Stone Manuscript" of the Sea Beast Sacrifice. ”
