Tina opened her eyes and found herself in another dimension.

It is still in the deep sea, but the space is not large, like a small secret realm.

The environment in the secret realm is very beautiful, just like the Mermaid Island in the 'One Piece' anime. Even in the deep sea, the sun shines in, all kinds of fish swim in front of Tina, and the coral seaweed slowly swaying. , full of vitality.

But soon, Tina's eyes fell on the huge crystal shells not far away.

"Where is the hope of the mermaid that the sacrifice said?"

Tina thought curiously and immediately came to the shell.

As if sensing Tina's arrival, the shell slowly opened, and what appeared in the crystal shell was not a pearl, nor any other mermaid, but only a blue crystal similar to a Rubik's Cube.

A faint light appeared on the crystal, turning into a figure.

Seeing this figure, Tina suddenly exclaimed. "Sacrifice!"

This is a projection, and it is also a mermaid, but she looks very old, and her eyes are full of kindness when she looks at Tina.

The priest spoke slowly and said with a smile. "Tina, make good use of this crystal, it is the treasure of the mermaid family. After any mermaid dies, the soul will be absorbed by it. When there is enough energy, it will recast the body for the dead mermaid and resurrect the mermaid. , this is our merman's hope."

"what?"

Hearing this, Tina widened her eyes with shock on her face.

Is there such a treasure in the forbidden land of mermaids?

She had never heard of it.

But the priest would not lie to himself, Tina nodded seriously and said. "Sacrificial, I remember, I will definitely protect it, but what kind of energy do you need to revive you?"

The priest shook his head and said. "You can't get that energy in the ocean, so ah, Tina, go out on an adventure."

"Adventure, adventure?"

Tina was stunned.

The priest smiled. "Yeah, go on an adventure, haven't you met an adventurer?"

"Eh, eh? How did you know about the priest?"

"Hehe, don't underestimate me, I'm a sacrifice."

The priest smiled and said. "It's too dangerous for you to be alone at the bottom of the sea now. There is safety in following the adventurer, and you should also want to go on an adventure, right?"

"I-I see, sacrifice."

After the priest said so, Tina nodded obediently, indicating that she knew, but she still asked. "Then, sacrifice, how do I get that energy?"

"It's simple."

The priest waved his hand, and the water flowed, turning into a spar.

Said the priest. "Remember the appearance of this spar, it is called a deep sea stone, and it is the core of sea energy that only condenses in the sea."

"Deep sea stone..."

After Tina carefully memorized the appearance of the stone, she nodded and said. "Sacrificial, I know, I will definitely try to find it in the future, and resurrect you as soon as possible."

Hearing the words, the sacrifice said with deep meaning. "Don't worry, because you can't find it, just follow the adventurer you know, little Tina, remember the words of the sacrifice."

"What?"

"Deep sea stone, it is rumored that it is the crystallization of the power of the sea god. After the death of the sea god, the power of the sea **** is sprinkled into the ocean, and the deep sea stone is born. You have to remember that the sea **** is already dead, understand?"

"Poseidon... is dead?"

Tina remembered.

But she didn't understand why the priest asked her to remember such words.

What does the priest want her to do?

Tina didn't understand for a while.

But as the sound fell, the projection of the sacrifice slowly disappeared.

I saw a ray of light emerging from the Rubik's Cube, pouring into Tina's body, and then, the entire secret realm shook, as if something had changed.

After a long while, calm was restored.

Tina touched the crown, surprised. "Eh? Is the forbidden land integrated into the crown? In other words, no matter where I am in the future, can I return to the secret realm?"

The light brought a message to Tina.

That is, this secret realm is integrated into the crown. As long as she wears the crown, no matter where she is, Tina can return to the forbidden area again.

But thinking of the sacrifice, Tina was still a little confused.

Poseidon...

Legend has it that it was a **** born in the sea and controlled the authority of the sea.

It is also the belief of the mermaid, but a long time ago, the sea **** fell, and the godhead was broken.

Since then, the mermaid has lost faith.

The authority of the sea has also returned to the sea.

The sea **** is dead, Tina knows about it, but why remember this matter?

Tina's face was wrinkled, and four words were written all over her face: "I don't understand."

"Well... I don't want to, I don't understand~"

After Tina rubbed her delicate white and delicate face and murmured, her eyes began to look around in the secret realm.

"The benefactor said that there may be a treasure chest in the forbidden area, and you have to help the benefactor find it, eh, is that the one?"

Tina's voice was pleasantly surprised, and she quickly found the target.

A purple treasure chest that sparkles.

It looks very beautiful.

Tina immediately happily swam over to pick up the treasure chest, and then continued to swim in the forbidden area to see if there were any other treasure chests.

But after walking around, Tina didn't find the second one either.

It looks like there is only one treasure chest in there.

Tina was a little disappointed.

After all, if the benefactor likes treasure chests, Tina still wants to find a few more treasure chests and make the benefactor happy.

Fortunately, Tina quickly came back to her senses. After glancing at the direction of the crystal shell, a firm look flashed in her eyes. With a thought, light appeared on the crown above her head and turned into a crack. Tina entered. Among them, disappeared here.

Restoring calm in the secret realm.

Fish swim.

but...

hum.

Shells open.

In the cube, the light flickered.

Two figures appeared, looking at the surrounding environment, fell into contemplation.

One of them is the sacrifice just now.

The other, with a crown on his head, seems to be the former mermaid queen.

"Sacrificial priest, has the human you predicted already come?"

"Yes, Her Majesty."

The priest nodded and said with a smile. "I can feel that Tina has been in contact with that human being. This is the guidance of fate."

"destiny..."

After the Queen heard the words, she was stunned for a moment, and then there was a wry smile on her face. "But for this so-called fate, we mermaids seem to have suffered heavy losses."

"Besides, Tina is alone, is it really possible? That is the power of the sea **** after all."

The priest still said with a faint smile on his face. "Your Majesty, loss is inevitable. All of this is for a better future for the mermaid, and Tina...Although she is a person, I think we should trust her, don't you?"

"Of course I trust Tina."

The queen looked sad. "Just a little worried..."

...

on the sea.

in the mechanical house.

Kendo training room.

Bai Ye was under a lush tree, holding a bone sword and swinging it.

The sound of sword chirping that kept ringing in his ears completely immersed Bai Ye.

He waved the sword in his hand completely subconsciously, and seemed to be able to sense a breath-like feeling coming from the sword.

very magical.

It was as if the breath of the sword was heard.

Following this breathing sound, Bai Ye subconsciously made his breathing consistent with that of the sword.

Gradually, as the bone sword in his hand continued to wave, a sense of gratitude lingered in his heart, and Bai Ye subconsciously slashed out with a sword.

Swish.

The environment is broken.

A sword qi burst out from the bone sword and slashed towards the wall of the training room not far away, leaving a shallow white mark.

"." Then, is that sword energy? "

"It's amazing. I've only seen it in novels before, but I didn't expect the master to do it."

"So handsome~"

A maid's voice sounded.

Bai Ye opened his eyes as if he was awakened, looked at the bone sword in his hand with a slightly startled expression, and then an excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk, is this the realm of kendo?"

"I've taken the first step towards becoming a kendo expert, right? Listen to the sound of the sword's breathing."

It is precisely because of this that Bai Ye can break out a slash.

As for the slash just now, Bai Ye did not input fog energy into the bone sword, and broke out entirely by his own instinct.

However, this does not mean that nothing needs to be consumed to display the sword energy, but it is not the fog energy that is consumed, but the mental energy.

Weird.

Logically speaking, it should also consume physical fitness.

"It may be that listening to the sword's breathing will consume mental power, so slashing will also consume mental power."

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Either way, this is good news.

It means that his fighting power has increased again.

There is no need to use the bone sword to release slashes in the future.

Of course, the bone sword is still a very handy weapon, and Bai Ye has no plans to replace it with a new weapon, not to mention that he will release the slash and use it with the bone sword, which can make the slash released by Bai Ye more powerful.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing here without training, watching me?"

Bai Ye put away the bone sword, looked at a group of maids not far away, and couldn't help asking with a smile.

heard.

Although the maids were a little cautious, they probably knew Bai Ye's character, so they were not afraid, but answered with a smile.

"Master, everyone is watching your training."

"That's right, the master looks serious during training, very handsome~"
