Crossing the long trench is like passing through a dark tunnel. The deeper you go to the trench, the more you can find that the two sides are gradually expanding. The two walls of the high canyon are hidden in the sea water in the distance, and are surrounded by dark sea water, as if they are in a void. Only the light path composed of corals and phosphoalgae in front of you is like a bridge in the void, passing out from the darkness of nothing, and then into another darkness of nothing.

Advance along the trench, the coral trees cultivated as street lamps on both sides are getting denser and brighter, and the light is getting brighter. The seaweed growing on the coral trees gradually becomes sparse, and the sea fish that rushes through the seaweed becomes less and less. The surrounding environment becomes solemn little by little, allowing people who come here for the first time to gradually feel the majesty of the gods.

"It's getting brighter and brighter," Katherine whispered, "Does this mean it's getting closer and closer to the Storm Temple?"

"Yes, the Storm Temple is not far away." Nancy, who was also responsible for greeting the guests, pointed to the darkness at the end of her sight, and said a bright light spot: "The brightest light spot is the location of the temple. You can identify it as soon as you get closer. You will never admit your mistakes for a very special building."

I really won't admit my mistake. After walking for a while, a few people discovered that it was not a light spot at all, but a whole light curtain, which was the light emitted by the entire temple. The temple itself is a huge luminous body, emitting cold light in the deep and dark sea water, reminding every creature passing by, which is the territory of the gods.

When they were closer, the girls finally saw the appearance of the temple clearly, looking like they could never dream of it. The buildings in the distance were not so much buildings as a group of amazing coral reefs. The huge corals formed the appearance of a temple-style building, and brown phospho algae were wrapped around the coral reefs, forming a huge light source in the shape of a building.

Like the temple on land, the Storm Temple also had a short worship journey before. In addition to the coral trees used as street lights on both sides of the worship journey, twenty stone pillars formed by corals were also erected on both sides. The sea tribes used special methods to speed up the growth and death of corals, allowing coral polyps to quickly change in the selected position according to the specified shape. The bodies of dead coral polyps accumulated bit by bit, becoming these thick and long coral pillars in front of them.

At the end of the twenty coral pillars is the temple staircase, which is also formed by corals. A mermaid stands alone in front of the staircase, quietly waiting for the arrival of the guests. The mermaid in front of the staircase has a similar appearance to Lanna, with long brown hair spreading on its smooth shoulders. The bra made of fish skin is surrounded by the chest, and its slender waist swings gently with the undercurrents in the water. It looks like another Lanna from afar. But if you observe carefully, you can find that the appearance of the mermaid in front of the staircase is only similar to Lanna.

Now, even if the two stand together, they can clearly distinguish the difference between the two, and they will never admit their mistakes. Because compared with the tenderness and youth of Lanna, the mermaid in front of her is mature, steady, gentle and friendly. It is obvious that this mature version of Lanna is the mortal agent of the ocean and the storm god Kareto in the mortal world. The highest priest in charge of religious affairs in the deep sea, the spiritual leader of all sea tribes, and the mother of Lanna. The demigod priest who once made the demigod-level ocean monster retreat with just singing.

"Mr. Doris." Delis and Nancy, who led the way, rushed forward a few steps together, bent their tails in front of Doris, and bowed to salute: "According to your instructions, six distinguished guests have been welcomed."

"Thank you for your hard work." Although Doris' voice was also low due to the sound organ, the low voice was filled with indescribable tenderness and affection, which made those who heard it feel good about her: "I'm glad to meet everyone, heroes of the sea tribe. The dark tide in the deep sea has brought signs of your arrival, and the gods have also lowered your prophecy that you will eventually win. When each sea tribe raises the purple snail wine glass and prays loudly, he will never forget the hard work and efforts of the heroes, and will never forget to cheer for the heroes and sing for the winner. Finally, it only represents the sacrifices of the Storm Temple, and represents the mermaid and Naga tribes themselves. I would like to express my gratitude to you, thank you for accepting our request to resolve this greatest crisis related to the fate of all sea tribes."

"I... cough..." Although Catherine is good at negotiating with people, she can communicate well, whether it is a noble or a civilian, whether it is a leader of power or an ordinary member, she really has no experience in contact with such an official language of religion. Although Lina is very familiar with religion, she has only contacted middle-level etiquette in the past. She has never seen such a high-level contact with the will of the gods. Not only her, but she has never seen actual examples of many religious popes or highest bishops on land, so it is impossible to deal with it appropriately.

"In the name of fearlessness and justice, and in the manners of knights, we offer mortal respect to the controllers of the ocean and the storm." Pannis pressed against Catherine, and whispered in a trembling wave. But after a moment of saying a few words, Doris's eyes turned to his face, with a kind mockery and anger on his face. Although it looked gentle and friendly, it had an indescribable authority, just like an older sister blaming her young brother with her eyes. Such expressions and gazes made Pannis' voice less and less, and finally rubbed his forehead and stopped: "May the sacred ocean never dry up, may... OK, okay, I'll shut up."

Doris' smile became even gentler, and even smiled at the corners of her eyes. She ignored Panis, who was pretending to study the coral steps on the ground, but took the initiative to come to the girls and said softly: "No need for so many rituals. The welcome ceremony that represented the gods just now has ended. The gods' eyes have receded, so just keep relaxing now."

"Thank you, Priest Doris." Doris' smile seemed to be born with an infectious influence on people's hearts, and a smile could bring the distance between them. Under the infection of Doris' smile, the etiquette demeanor of several girls quickly faded away. He changed into clothes and looked relaxed. Catherine said: "I heard Lanna mention you many times, and I finally saw you today."

"This is the first time Lanna has made friends with alien races. You are Lanna's friends and our family." Doris gently patted each girl's back with her long fish tail, and then poked Lanna's face: "This little fool is actually very happy when he came back last time, hehe."

"My mother." Lanna knocked Doris off her finger in dissatisfaction: "I'm not so happy."

"Hehe." Doris smiled mysteriously. Regardless of Lanna being secretly angry, she took Lina and Vivian's hands and walked towards the stairs of the temple first: "Come on, if you have anything to do, come into the temple, don't be too reserved. Since you are family members, there is no need to be so polite. Do you think so, this gentleman who pretends to be Coral Pillar."

"Ha, heh, heh." Panis was standing next to a coral pillar, trying to hide in the dark and not attract attention, but Doris was obviously not going to let him go. Panis, who was named, scratched his head, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to hide behind the pillar, walked out of the shadow with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Long time no see, Doris."

Doris tilted his head cutely, as if he had heard nothing, looking at Panis without saying a word, making the atmosphere awkward. In awkward, Panis grabbed her hair hard and gritted her teeth and said, "Long time no see, Doris... sister."

Doris smiled, and his gentle smile seemed to make the seaweed around him flourish. The girls had to admit that this smile was something they could not imitate no matter what. With the unique charm of the time deposited by mature women, even Lanna had never seen her mother like her mother. Doris smiled gently, and raised her hand hard to touch Panis's hair. The difference in height made this movement very hard. Panis bent down with a wry smile on his face to cooperate with Doris' movement. This reaction obviously made Doris very satisfied. The fish tail subconsciously slapped the ground at high frequency and whispered: "It's really a long time no see. You cruel guy, you have been so cruel for so long, and you don't want to come to me? Do you think of me as your sister? Forget it, no matter what, it's good to come here this time. Let's go in first and have a good chat in the old place tonight."

"Yeah." Panis suddenly felt something in his heart being touched by a gentle touch, took a deep breath, and almost choked himself to death: "You go ahead, they are here for the first time."

"Come on, girls." Doris nodded and glided to the girls, like an approachable aunt next door, pushing the girls from behind and said, "Come in the temple and rest. Even if you have amphibious beads, it is easy to feel tired when you dive into the deep sea. You must rest quietly under the deep sea for two days to adapt. Lan Na doesn't understand. Do some people don't understand, and don't know how to be gentle to girls at all. So let me treat you well these two days, don't refuse. This task is not easy. Only by adjusting your state can you complete the task smoothly."

"Thank you then." Catherine thought for a while and nodded and responded: "Doris...uh..."

"Call Auntie." Before Panis finished speaking, he suddenly flew up. The tail of the mermaid tribe seemed like a beautiful work of art, but in fact it contained a strong force. When Doris swung his tail at will, Panis flew out from afar and finally got into the shadow of the coral pillar as he wished.

"Haha, Sister Doris." The girls looked at Panis, who was embedded in the coral pillar with pity, and smiled.
Chapter completed!
