King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 820: Future History

"Wow! Why are there Hilichurls under the sea?" Paimon was surprised and panicked when he saw the Hilichurl Ranger wearing a Hilichurl mask in the distance.

Many fighting methods in the seabed are useless, and Ying's strength is greatly reduced. And more importantly: why do we run to the bottom of the sea and still encounter hill people?
Could it be possible that these magical creatures could actually survive anywhere?
Ying held the holy sword in her hand and tried to swing it a few times. The resistance in the water made her swing seem a little weak.

Several people were on full alert - in fact, it was mainly Ying who was standing in the front, while Paimon and An, who was like a floating spirit, had huddled behind her.

"Holy Sword?! How come you have a Holy Sword in your hand?!"

However, to the surprise of the three, the Hilliard Ranger in the distance did not fight with them right away.

For some reason, this monster actually began to circle around the golden one-handed sword in Ying's hand.

"The talking Hilichook Ranger is so magical!" Because the Hilichook Ranger can talk, Paimon's vigilance immediately dissipated, and was replaced by incomparable curiosity.

"You haven't told me where this weapon came from?" Carter finally calmed down. He looked at the holy sword in Ying's hand with burning eyes. The scorching eyes successfully made Ying put the weapon back.

Because she was afraid that if she was slow, the Hill Ranger would start to snatch it away. Although it was just a toy she picked up from the ruins, Ying didn't want to give it away.

"Over there, if you want, you can look for it yourself. I think it should still be there." Ying turned sideways and pointed to the ruins below that were blocked off from the sea water, and said to the Hilliard Ranger in front of him.

Unexpectedly, when Carter saw this, his tone became more certain: "It is true. The holy sword has been taken out."

"Does that mean that we two don't have to work anymore?" Yu Jin poked his head out from behind Carter, making Ying on the opposite side happy.

"Nice to meet you again, Senior!"

"Hey! Why do I always meet you in such strange places?"

"I was just wondering why you guys always end up in such weird places?"

Yu Jin spread his hands helplessly and said that Ying and Paimon were somewhat like him, always liking to run around and then popping up in inexplicable corners.

He looked at the terrain nearby. This was an inconspicuous trench. The ruins Ying mentioned before were located on one side of the trench. If Carter hadn't brought him here, he probably wouldn't have noticed the ruins when he passed by here.

It has to be said that Ying and Paimon are already qualified adventurers, and their sensitivity to ruins is even better than his own - anyway, the Embers Ruins would definitely not be able to find such remote ruins.

"That's not true. We were hunting crabs on the sea floor and we found An!"

"Ann brought us here!"

Ying and Paimeng spoke one by one and pushed out An, who was like a floating spirit on the water, behind them.

"Well..., pure water elves can give birth to children?" Yu Jin suddenly turned his head and asked Carter. The reason was that An looked too much like a young version of a pure water elf.

But this time Carter had no intention of answering Yu Jin. He looked at An floating in the water and suddenly asked, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with the Red Queen?"

"Red... Red Queen? Who is that? I don't know, but I feel vaguely familiar with her. By the way, have we met before?"

An shook his head, and then his eyes were fixed on Carter. He had thought Carter was just an ordinary ranger, but when he got closer, An suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which made him concerned.

"My memory is very bad. Although I have no impression of you now, maybe we have met before." Carter laughed at himself. He was 100% sure that he and Ann had a relationship, but the damn memory made it only a guess.

"Forget it. The past can always be dug up, but the future needs to be changed by our own hands."

"Come with me, you who holds the holy sword, and solve the crisis like a true hero!"

Carter put aside the memories of the past. Now that the holy sword had been found, it was time to return to the original fetal sea without further delay!

"Resolve the crisis? Are you asking me to save the prince this time?" Ying scratched his head, feeling that the words just now were so familiar.

After thinking for a while, she finally realized it. It seemed that An had said the same thing when he found her before, asking her to save the princess or something.

Later, the princess was indeed found by them, but she seemed not to want to be rescued, and she even kicked the three of them out.

"I guessed half right. He went to save the young master, not the prince." Yu Jin waved to the three people behind him, and then followed Carter back the same way. "Young master... he still needs to go and save him?" With such doubts, Ying followed with the holy sword.

……

The sun pierced through the clouds, and the sea sparkled below. This was a very common scene, but for the people of Fontaine who had experienced the huge waves, this ordinary scenery became pleasant.

Of course, it would have been better if the running sun hadn’t disappeared - many people didn’t get enough of it.

"Go away, go back and pack your things." Similar voices gradually became the mainstream in the crowd, and the crowd watching the excitement near the coastline also gradually dispersed.

The sea level stopped rising and calmed down again, so many previously stalled works could finally be started.

Among these, post-care work is naturally the top priority, but in addition to post-care work, there are some other tasks that cannot be ignored.

"Ta! Tat! Tat!"

The huge underground cave is filled with ruined building ruins. It is extremely quiet here, with only the footsteps of outsiders echoing.

It was the Fatui who explored the ruins, but now they have temporarily forgotten this purpose because the size of the ruins is so shocking.

Although it is called a cave, it is actually more like a hollow underground. Looking around, you can see many broken bridges connecting various locations underground.

In slightly flatter areas, collapsed and weathered walls can be seen everywhere, all of which tell the same fact: in the distant past, this place was once a city.

“So… so big.”

"Are you done sighing? Time is urgent, so once you're done sighing, head towards the tower."

The servant's words instantly sobered the astonished Fools. They suppressed their shock and followed closely.

The tower the servant had mentioned exuded an aura that was completely different from other places in the ruins, not just in terms of perception but also in terms of vision.

Other parts of the ruins have been severely weathered, and many places are even covered with vegetation, so you can only vaguely see the stones wrapped in the green.

But the tall tower in the distance is different. Its rock-built tower has not weathered in this humid environment. Instead, it appears as clean as new because of the dripping water.

This look is almost like the words "I am special" written on his face.

A group of people were traveling through the desolate ruins. The Fatui had explored many ruins before, so they were good at this and the mechanisms in the ruins could not stop them at all.

After several near-collapses, everyone arrived inside the tower.

"Report sir, no discovery!"

"no!"

“Nothing to gain here either!”

Bad news came from all directions, but there was no sign of dissatisfaction or irritation on the servants' faces.

She looked up and saw that the jump water ring on the top of the tower had lit up at some point. The servant jumped into the water ring and turned into a ball of water, flying into the distance along the predetermined path.

"Snapped!"

The water ball exploded and landed in a broken hall. The servant looked up, but before she had time to look around, she was attracted by the stone slabs on the wall.

"Funina? Why is she painted here?"

The figure engraved on the ancient stone slab is none other than today’s water goddess, Finina.
