I'm sorry, I want to be a new person

Chapter 409 Weird Murals
Just when the war on the Tofu Islands began, another story was unfolding in the sea thousands of miles away.

It is daytime here now. If we count according to natural days, it is already September 9th.

This is the territory of the Terai people, or the hinterland of the territorial waters.

It is also the location of "Yele", the capital of the Terai people.

More than a month has passed since the army was dispatched, but the prosperity in the capital has not been affected. Millions of Terai people live here. This is not a barren seabed, let alone a barbaric underwater tribe, but a prosperous undersea city. .

Tall buildings made of volcanic rocks and underwater gardens made of colorful corals. Because they can swim freely, the Terai people have no concept of ground roads. This is a three-dimensional all-round city. The higher the status of the people, the shallower they live. The wider the line of sight, the easier it is to enjoy the transmitted sunlight.

Two figures covered in hoods dived all the way down.

The strange attire attracted the attention of the guards, especially the lack of tails of the two men. The Delai people never covered their tails, and they were immediately ready to come up for questioning.

But as soon as he swam closer, his mind wandered for a while, and he seemed to have forgotten what he was here for. He stayed in the sea in a daze until the hooded figure disappeared far away.

Relying on unknown abilities, the two figures actually had a smooth journey and arrived at the most special place in the underwater city "Yelai".

Poseidon Mountain where the "Poseidon Temple" is located.

This undersea mountain is extremely tall, with its top almost piercing the water surface. It is dark and cold, like a giant beast lingering in the deep sea.

From its outer contour, it is easy to see that this Poseidon Mountain may have been a large volcano in the past.And now it seems to be no longer active.

As the seat of the Poseidon Temple, this mountain is extremely well-defended. There are a large number of Poseidon sacrifices coming in and out from everywhere, and there are also countless ordinary Derai people at the bottom who come here to worship and worship.

The two hooded figures did not enter from the front, but went around to the inaccessible side. The taller one raised a hand and pointed at Poseidon Mountain in the distance.

"Let me try to see if that girl Jingwei's 'wonderful method' works."

The two fingers twisted slightly, and the next moment, the two hooded figures disappeared from the outside world.

They appeared inside Poseidon Mountain, in an inexplicable deserted palace.

It's much farther than Jingwei's range.

Taking off the hood, it was none other than Jiang Hou, and the other one was the female Sain, Shana, who had been following Jiang Hou.

"This is the Poseidon Temple, right?"

Jiang Hou moved his nose: "There is a rotten smell."

Shana is 1.8 meters tall, but she looks very petite next to the three-meter-high Jiang Hou. She is no longer the proud Saiyin two years ago, but Jiang Hou's most loyal follower.

But she still didn't know why Jiang Hou came here and why he brought her here.

The two of them didn't know what method they could use to breathe underwater, but after doing such a weird thing as sneaking into the Tanah Lot Temple, it didn't seem to matter anymore.

Jiang Hou looked at the dark murals around him, touched his chin and said, "This Poseidon Temple has its own explanation."

Shana also looked at these murals.

The art style of the Terai people is very different from that of humans, but there is no such thing as "art".

Painting, writing, and music are not the patent of human beings, but are natural pursuits after the development of intelligent biological civilization to a certain stage, but the forms of expression are different.

In Shana's opinion, the colors of these murals are too heavy and deep, with almost only dark tones and dark tones, lacking active colors, like oil stains that have not been cleaned for a long time, but perhaps in the eyes of the Derai people, these murals are sacred and beautiful.

The meaning can barely be discerned.

The content in front of the two of them seemed to be the high priest of Poseidon of a certain generation, crowning the king of the Derai people of a certain generation.

"Master Jiang, are you saying that the Sea God Temple made up these stories?"

Jiang Hou shook his head and said: "At least that's what they believe. Let's not rush, let's watch and talk."

The two of them came here for unknown reasons, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.

At least Jiang Hou is not in a hurry, but Shana is a little vigilant. After all, this is the Sea God Temple, the most sacred and secret place of the Draai people, and it is more important than the Draai people's palace.

"After the birth of human beings, they lost the guidance and protection of the source of their own blood, and had to go through a long barbaric era. It was not until the human population spread across the continent, and even because of climate and other reasons, that the races were divided. Hold the key called 'civilization'." Jiang Hou paced in the Sea God Temple like a tourist, his voice was undisguised, and he seemed not at all worried about attracting other Delai people.

The murals on both sides are constantly changing. They seem to be visiting the history of the Terai people in reverse. The deeper they go, the older they become.

The mural shows how the Terai people mined volcanic rocks and cultivated corals. It roughly records some of the important technologies that changed the civilization of the Terai people. There are also some pages that give close-ups of individual Terai people. They are all important figures in the past, such as inventions. Home, scientist, king of the Terai, general and the like.

Although Shana looked like every Delai, she couldn't even tell the difference between male and female.

"But the Terai people are different. From the very beginning of their birth, they have developed in the form of 'civilization' under the guidance, created language and writing, raised fish stocks, expanded the population, and transformed the seabed. So in just 4000 years Time has caught up with humans, and without the anomaly of 'Kyushu', we might have been much further ahead, such as compared with Xisaiin."

Shana nodded: "Compared to Kyushu, Xisayin is indeed far behind."

Jiang Hou stopped, pointed to one of the murals on the wall and said: "Look, the content in this painting should be the scene of the first king of the Delai people, who was entrusted with the will of the sea god and became the first king. Poseidon only showed one hand."

When Shana heard this, she looked over and saw a gorgeously dressed Derai kneeling on the wall. In the background were other Derai people, also kneeling at a distance.

A strange, slender gray-white hand poked out from the edge of the screen and placed a coral-shaped crown on the head of the gorgeously dressed Delai man.

Jiang Hou seemed to be very interested in this painting, and stopped directly in front of it.

Shana asked: "Mr. Jiang, is there anything special about this painting?"

Jiang Hou grinned, revealing his white tiger teeth, which had blood grooves that looked like lightning.

In terms of biological expression, he has become more and more deviated from humans.

"This is the first time I've seen it. There are indeed two suspicious points in this painting."

"First, that hand is obviously not the hand structure of the Derai race. Why is the image of a sea god made up by the Derai people different from the physical structure of the Derai people? Secondly, look at this first-generation Derai The tail of the King of Men, yes, the part hidden at the edge, the tip of the tail is curled up.”

Shana asked curiously: "Is there something wrong?"

"Rolling up the tail means sadness, pain, and fear in the physical instinct of the Terai people. It may be that the mural painter at that time knew the truth of the matter, so he risked his life to leave a little secret message."

Shana was thoughtful, but Jiang Hou had already moved on.

Looking at Jiang Hou's majestic back, Shana was in a daze for a moment.

She didn't know the purpose of Jiang Hou's coming here, but she didn't care. No matter how Jiang Hou ordered her, she would obey his orders, even if he asked her to die.

But Jiang Hou today is indeed a little different.

Became more talkative and open-minded.
Shana was most concerned about Jiang Hou's emotions, and she was confident that she didn't feel wrong.

Just why?

Jiang Hou suddenly said: "Shana, do you know that I am in a good mood today?"

"Sir, I can see it, but I don't know why."

Jiang Hou patted Shana on the shoulder, and the unexpected action made her stunned.

This was the first time in two years that Jiang Hou took the initiative to have physical contact with her.

The warmth coming from her shoulders was unknown to Shana. She had never felt so warm before.

"Because today I am finally free. Thank you for your company."

"what?"

Shana's mind was empty and she almost didn't hear what Jiang Hou said. All the nerve cells in her body had been concentrated on her shoulders.

"You have also practiced the wonderful magic of wishful thinking. If you are asked to get out of here alone, can you do it?"

Shana was dazed for a moment and then said: "Hmm? It can be done, but why are you alone? Don't you come with me?"

Jiang Hou stopped in front of a huge stone gate:
"Half and half, if it doesn't work out, I won't go back."
