Chapter 37 The Temple of the Storm

The stairs formed by corals have a different feeling when stepping on barefoot. Some tiny algae poked their heads out of the gaps in the coral stairs and gently rubbed against the skin on the soles of their feet, making people feel itchy when walking. Each step is very high, but here is in the deep sea. Even if there is amphibious beads to adjust the water, you will still feel a slight buoyancy. With this benefit, you can float upwards with a light step under your feet. One hundred steps are quickly thrown under your body and come to the gate of the temple.

The temple does not have a gate, and the main entrance leads to the interior of the temple without any obstruction. Looking through the main entrance, it is pitch black inside and nothing can be seen, which is completely different from the light emitted by the outside of the temple's exterior wall.

"Please come in." I found that the girls were hesitating at the dark interior at the door of the temple. Doris smiled with a little cunning in her warm smile, and said with a blink of an eye: "I understand when you go in."

Before the girls could say anything, Panis had already stepped in front of them and stepped into the gate of the temple. Someone used his actions to relieve the girls, and the girls had no hesitation. Catherine nodded to Doris who was naughty waiting to watch the show, and tentatively walked into the gate slowly. The space inside the gate was nothing special, it was pitch black, and he could only feel the light shining from behind, but could not break through the position of his body. In other words, no one could see through the darkness in front of him, and could only grop in the darkness. After walking seven or eight steps along the darkness, Catherine suddenly felt a heavy body. It was like breaking through a thin film, and in the next moment, the light was restored in front of her. Moreover, in addition to seeing the light again, she heard the sound in her ears, not the voice simulated by props, but the sound of gurgling 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. She asked subconsciously. The moment she spoke, she realized that she could not only see the light, but also hear the sound, but also smell the smell, and breathe and speak normally. Only then did she realize 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. She no longer felt like a layer of mist when soaked in the water, but was truly seen directly, and then looked at the ground at her feet. The sea water dripping from her body wet the dry ground.

"Is this... really out of the sea water?" Catherine asked Panis who looked at him with an interesting look with her arms. Before Panis could answer, there were a few more water sounds behind her, and the other three girls also appeared next to Catherine in turn. With the people who appeared behind her as a reference, Catherine figured out what was going on. In the corridor behind, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that blocked the sea water outside the corridor. Turning the inside and outside of the barrier into two completely different worlds.

"Be careful." Panis seemed to know what would happen. As soon as Vivian walked in, he reached out. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the waterless space, Vivian tilted his legs and fell forward straight. Fortunately, even though Panis reached out to hold her, she did not fall to the ground: "Just leave the water, you can re-adjust the control of your strength."

"Is this why Doris is so mysterious just now?" Lina's eyes were beating with curious flames, and she stroked the dry walls of the coral reef texture and asked, "What's going on? Why does a space without water suddenly appear? This is the bottom of the sea. If you want to open up such an area, what powerful water pressure is needed to fight against."

"Don't forget, this is the temple, and the gods who are in charge of the ocean and the storm, and the main temple of Kareto." Panis let go of Vivian, who was gradually adapting, and whispered: "This is an extension of the will of the gods, and it is not surprising that nothing happens."

"Is it necessary to use divine power to fight against the water pressure of the deep sea?" Catherine looked at the scene in front of her. The temple in front of her was no different from their kind on land. Crystal energy lamps were hung high on both sides of the closed corridor, and ocean flags representing gods were hung on the high arches. The air was filled with the slight smell of sea fishy smell unique to the seaside, and bursts of singing sings came from the depths of the corridor.

"Wrong." At some point, Doris had already stood behind the girls with Lanna and Lamia, and the rest should have returned from another entrance and exit. The three sea tribes were wearing dry priest robes and delicate feet. They stepped on the ground naked, with wet hair spread on their shoulders. The three sea tribes had turned into human forms and were smiling at them with calm faces. Hearing Catherine's words, Doris corrected in a gentle tone as if the sister next door: "It's not to fight against water pressure, the ocean is part of my god. Everything in the ocean is under the control of my god. So it's not to fight against the temple, but to command, my god said that the sea water should avoid the temple and should not enter the temple, so the sea water retreated from the temple, and the temple became a dry space."

"But why?" Catherine asked in confusion: "You are all sea tribes. There is no need to open up such a waterless space as a temple, there is no need to do anything."

"No, this is necessary, and it is very necessary." Doris did not explain again, but took the initiative to lead everyone to the depths of the corridor. Lanna, who was dragging behind, explained to her mother: "There are a large number of sea tribes, whose size is larger than the entire temple, and some are even larger than several temples. It is impossible to establish a place where they can gather together to pay respect and pray. Therefore, it is finally unified that entering the temple must be transformed into a land form. The land form is about the same size as that of humans, so that there will be no embarrassing situations of being overcrowded or inaccessible. However, another problem arises. The land form is not convenient to move in the water, so we pray to the gods and classify the temple area into a waterproof area, so that all problems will be solved."

"Well, the body size problem is really troublesome." Catherine imagined the scene when several large sea beasts in the temple wanted to enter the temple, shook her head and sighed: "Fortunately we don't have to consider this issue, and this result is really good for us, otherwise even if there are amphibious beads, the world under the sea will always be troublesome."

Walking along the corridor and passing through several arches, the girls were surprised to find that they were standing in a courtyard. There was no cover above the courtyard. When they looked up, they could see a dark dome composed of a large amount of sea water. On the dome, occasionally some glowing sea fish swam leisurely, as if they were shooting stars across the sky at night.

In the courtyard, there are many corals dotted in a scattered manner. The colorful corals grow on the ground, changing colors under the lights, reflecting a halo that seems to be like a dream. The gap between the large clumps of corals is carved out from unknown stones. The surfaces of the tables and chairs are smooth and gentle, and it is very comfortable to sit on. Looking at the girls, they can almost imagine that when they come to the courtyard after supper, strolling among the corals, or lying on the warm stone chairs to look up at the occasional light passing by the dome. Such a scene gives the girls a very strange feeling, like leisure, but also an indescribable loneliness.

"Come here." Doris turned around and said, "I think you'd better go wash it first, wash off all the salt on your body, and then change your clothes. It's almost time for dinner, and I've prepared a special dinner for everyone. The courteous reception has ended outside the temple, so dinner is a small family dinner, to welcome the new friend of my daughter."

Katherine wanted to refuse these social engagements, just to understand the task situation as soon as possible to complete the task, but when she looked up and saw Doris with anticipation smile on her face like a hospitality mother, her heart couldn't help but soften and nodded subconsciously.

"Hey, you're enough." Panis suddenly coughed heavily, glanced at Doris who was smiling happily: "Don't secretly use your charming talent on such irrelevant issues? Is it necessary to do such a small matter?"

"Then I don't care, you have agreed anyway." Doris's joy of being able to succeed in his tricks. The cunning and liveliness in the quiet made her look like Lanna's mother, but more like a sister: "I just don't like the habit of you humans. I'm in a hurry to do anything, and I don't have any intention. Let's relax and relax. If you rest for a night, you won't lose much."

"Ha, thank you." Although he was disturbed by his natural charm, Catherine could not be angry about such a thing, so she could only smile bitterly and shake her head. Even Lan Na, who was beside her, seemed to feel embarrassed about her mother's behavior, and she turned her head awkwardly and refused to look at her.

"I told you before, you can't compare this way." Panis sighed: "You live at the bottom of the sea, and you are still alive day and night, and you can't feel the passage of time and your life span is long. It's not much difference for you one minute or one day, but human beings are different, and every day is precious."

Doris blinked and said to the girls: "Come with me, I'll take you to your room first. Just entered the seabed. You'd better spend three days staying here. Not only is it the rest and physical rest I told you before, but you also need to be familiar with the fighting and communication methods at the seabed, otherwise it would be very dangerous to enter the battle without preparation."
