Mana, the name of the white beast —— this was temporarily changed by Ryuoka, and it looks quite comfortable to see that this beast is accepting, with its little tail shaking from time to time.

The hidden channel is vertically down, about 30 meters deep.

Thereafter, Longgang fell into a stone tunnel staggered with a luminous stone set across the walls… not dazzling or even soft, yet making the whole tunnel look quite bright.

Ryuoka went deeper, and found a little hole in the road, just the kind that could get Mana through —— think about it, this little guy punched it out.

“What's in here?” Ryuoka looked at the little guy lying on his shoulder and asked.

Of course he doesn't get the answer... the little guy doesn't speak, even if Ryuoka can communicate with him, he can only feel some vague thoughts, which are actually quite confusing.

But no one should have been here in a long time... not even Mojito. It should have never been found in this place.

Even Ryuoka herself, if she didn't have the ability to communicate with creatures, if she didn't feel for Mana, she'd probably just miss it.

This used to be a pastoralist village... why did they build such a corridor under the village... where did it lead?

Soon Ryuoka found the answer.

At the end of the tunnel, what he saw at the moment was another village!

It's at least half smaller than the ground, narrower roads, and tighter houses… and it's just as lonely here, and it's been lost for a long time.

Just walking in here, Mana on Longoka's shoulder suddenly jumped off, and then flew into this underground village.

Dragon Oka looked consciously at the top… At the top were already those luminous stones, illuminating the entire space as well - back to the issue of herders building this underground village, Dragon Oka felt it was very likely that herders were trying to escape something.

Everything here is quite primitive - whether it's houses, tools… everything is a tool with the simplest materials, without a hint of technology.

“Are they trying to escape central tower surveillance? ”

Suddenly, Ryuoka seemed to realize something - and he quickly caught up with the white beast Mana… Mana was parked in a small, circular square.

Dragon Oka was shocked to find so many sarcophaguses in this small square!

At first glance, these sarcophaguses also have at least one hundred and fifty and sixty… they are arranged neatly and surround the entire circular square, forming a radiation-like pattern.

And in the middle of it all, in the middle of the circle square, a giant square-point column was erected… a white column.

Dragon Oka couldn't help but shock himself. He had seen columns like this - just more than the other columns he had seen, the pointed columns that existed in this underground village square, obviously too many miniatures, too many!

That's the White Tower in Underwater City!

That's right, the shape of the square-point column, the white giant tower of Heran at the bottom of the ocean city, is typical... Longgang shocked by the discovery here and subconsciously approached this square-point column.

However, the moment he stepped into the Circular Square, an unknown sense of fear suddenly filled his whole body, causing Ryuoka to tremble, and he subconsciously stopped.

Ryuoka looked around… at a time when, with his ability to listen to the voices of all things, he felt the idea of coming over this thick sarcophagus - what they were talking about.

Whispers, unfortunately, can no longer be carefully separated… the only thing to be sure is that they do not want Ryuoka close.

“I'm just trying to find the truth.” Ryuoka whispered, “Even if you're buried here, you're still so awed of it... maybe it's your faith? ”

These ideas have not spread.

Ryuoka couldn't help but frown... Spinning, his heart moved and said positively: “I am also a descendant of the herders, if you are truly the original herders, then I am also a descendant of yours. If you are truly my ancestors, then let me know everything about you. Herders… we, why exist! ”

More than a hundred thoughts, momentarily much stronger… Around the square, there began to be a slight blue light - from simple thoughts to now, Ryuoka saw a light blue airflow.

Instead of spreading, these aircurrents began to look for something… they began to pour past that little white hand, Mana.

Finally, Mana unknowingly creates a thin dark blue diamond-shaped crystal over her forehead, and her body slowly floats vertically.

“There has been a reaction… you are truly herders!” Ryuoka's eyes are shining at this moment.

So Mana, who was floating, looked at Ryuoka like this, and at the same time sounded like a bunch of sounds, naturally spreading in Ryuoka's heart.

“We, the last herders, are a collection of our thoughts… you can call me, or we will be [tomorrow]. ”

“Tomorrow?” Dragon Oka couldn't help but wonder, “Hope? Your hope is tomorrow? ”

“You can understand that, but we are not waiting for tomorrow.” [Tomorrow] said slowly: “We do feel that you have a bit of herder blood left on you, but it's not very intense… I guess you're the descendant of the guys who escaped. ”

“Probably so…” Ryuoka also had to face his identity, and at the same time his heart moved: “What did you say, the guys who escaped? So not all the herders left the central tower? ”

“It's not much worse, it stays here.” [Tomorrow] said softly: “We have not chosen to leave, because some of the herders' ideas are not completely unified. Of course, the vast majority chose to leave. ”

“Why don't you guys get out of here?” Dragon Oka frowned, “Do you know how the herders who left created a glorious civilization on the other side... even though the civilization has now been destroyed and the remnants can only survive in the deep sea? ”

“Our roots are here, and we don't want to go anywhere.” [Tomorrow] is still quite apathetic, "we have something to guard here. ”

Ryuoka subconsciously said, "This pillar? There is also an exact same pillar in the undersea city, it's just a lot bigger than this... what is it? ”

“It's inheritance, it's us.” [Tomorrow] said slowly, "is where the soul rests. Even if the herders die, the spirit will not be extinct, and the Holy Tower can place our souls. ”

“It also has power.” Dragon Oka was silent for a moment and suddenly said: “I can feel it, it also has the power of the dead… like the White Tower of the Underwater City. But the White Tower of the Underwater City can only be used by the Emperor of the Underwater City. ”

“The Emperor of the Undersea City, as you say, should be a descendant of a fully awakened Blue Blood Force.” [Tomorrow] I thought about it at this point: “It's not surprising that, in our time, basically adult pastoralists were able to use the power of the Holy Tower. And you can feel it, because you have a little blue blood in you. However, in your case, in general, you probably will never be able to awaken the power of blue blood. ”

Ryuoka laughed bitterly and mocked herself: “Probably because I'm just a hybrid? If it's not tall, it's not tall, I've never had any discontent with my blood... it has brought me to this world and given me life. ”

“Are you capable of sensing?” [Tomorrow], suddenly, he said.

“Sense?” Dragon Oka shrugged and subconsciously said: “You mean my ability to communicate with you? I will call it Listening to the Voices of All Things. ”

“Listen to everything?” [Tomorrow] there seems to be a smile, “really listening to everything, you know what it is? Your ability, at best, is just the prerequisite ability to listen to everything, to really listen to everything, and you're far from it. ”

Dragon Gunton had a red-hearted sensation.

The blue crystal on Mana's forehead suddenly flashed, and then [tomorrow] suddenly said, "What's your name? ”

“Ryuoka. ”

“Dragon Oka, now you go to the front of the [Santa].” [Tomorrow] said softly: "Though it is only a very thin blood line, it is also a descendant of blue blood. As a descendant of a herder, you should show your awe before our faith. ”

Ryuoka frowned.

He hesitated for a moment and eventually chose to walk into the square, one step closer to the spire - this time, he was not stopped in any way.

Standing completely in front of this spire, Ryuoka looked up and seemed to have a glimmer of light over the pure white tower... the awe in his heart rose again, Ryuoka subconsciously knelt before the Holy Tower, closed his eyes and revealed the colour of piety.

At this moment, he closed his eyes and in the darkness, Ryuoka saw a blue flame… it lit in the darkness.

From weak to prosperous.

In the blue flame, Ryuoka even [saw] a blue crystal long sword... as if it were a call, he subconsciously reached out and held it.

Hold on!

When the palm of his hand had held the blue crystal sword handle, Ryuoka opened his eyes as well... and at this point, he actually had a blue crystal sword in his hand!

A joyful thought, coming from this blue crystal sword.

“It seems… happy?” Dragon Oka watched [Mana] consciously, "happy for my coming? ”

“Not happy for your coming, just happy for the coming of blue blood.” [Tomorrow] said softly: “If it comes from a herder who is completely awake of the blue blood, it will be a real joy. ”

“… okay.” Dragon Oka laughed embarrassingly and just felt despised by his real ancestors?

“This is the shepherd's sword.” [Tomorrow] the sound sounds again, “there is also a pair of holy armor… In the beginning, the departing herders took the holy armor away, while the holy sword was in our custody. You know what your mission is, Ryuoka. ”

Dragon Oka's consciousness opened his mouth, he only held the blue crystal sword, but didn't know he had a mission to say.

[Tomorrow]: “It is your duty to bring the souls of the herders who have fallen outside back into the sanctuary… this is where we sleep. When they left, they were going to come back one day. We stay and watch over the Holy Tower so that one day, we can bring their souls back to bury them. We are herders and we are tomb keepers... Dragon Oka, would you like to be a tomb keeper? ”

“If I refuse, are you going to reclaim this… [Holy Sword]?” Ryuoka frowned.

“No, I can't take it back.” [Tomorrow] said something depressing to Longgang, “In fact, just as long as you don't stop and come directly to the Holy Tower, you will also get the [Holy Sword]. ”

Ryuoka shook her head and frowned again: “So you... you just looked at me and I took it away? If I refuse? ”

“You won't refuse.” [Tomorrow] shook your head at this point, “Remember, [the Holy Tower] is inheritance, the Holy Sword is inheritance, [the Holy Armor] is inheritance, they will guide you to do what you should do. ”

“What to do… What to do?” Ryuoka suddenly looked up: “What, is that what I'm supposed to do? ”

This time, [tomorrow] did not respond.

But at the same time, [Santa Ta] burst out a light into Dragon Oka's body... he was like bathing in warm water, feeling comfortable and even letting him stay in love.

“Your blood is too thin… accept it, from our gift.” [Tomorrow] the voice is in Dragon Oka's heart: “Remember, you are a herder and a tomb keeper… our tomb, buried is our tomorrow. ”

“Wait...”

The light of the sanctuary disappeared, as did the light wrapped around the dragon octopus... even the little white beast Mana had fallen to the ground by then, seemingly unconscious.

However, the dark blue crystal on Mana's forehead did not disappear and seemed to be completely embedded in its body.

Dragon Oka consciously raised the audience's blue crystal sword… at this time its light was not there and its mind was no longer felt, but rather dimmed.

But as long as he has a thought, this [holy sword] can emit a brilliant light in an instant.

“Am I... a tomb keeper? ”
