Chapter 2: The Secret of the Drainage Channel
Atlantis8:09 PM
We walked along the long drainage channel for quite some time
In this short period of time, I suddenly realized the reason why people would prefer raising their buildings up higher to live, and why they didn't really dig down instead; it was because staying underground gave one a rather uncoaveas if the top could collapse at any time
Ahead ofpath, and behind me was a place that led off into an unseen direction
”Wait a minute”
After a moment of silence, senior Gasai took the lead, which broke the calht here”
Uh…To be honest, I totally can't tell what's not quite right here
Hearing him say so, everyone looked around, and then their expressions seemed to follow suit and suddenly beca
”This is a guide mark” Yido walked over to the side, and stopped in front of a wall ”Soe channel” He stretched out a hand, and gently knocked twice on the wall A strange totem with a diameter of thirty centimeters or so i like a winged flea, and beside it was an incantation that I couldn't read
”The white and yellow fogs' guide mark” Gasai looked at the totem on the wall, and faintly said
…Which ht
”This at least confirs are not some sudden phenomena, and we can definitely affir the roll of soe, Yido pulled that thing open It was a very big piece of white paper Then he covered that totem with the white paper, and in just a few seconds, the totem was copied down into an exact likeness of it
”If someone's behind the it, Gasai tilted his head as he thought for a bit ”Forget it, let's find Icy Fla too”
This brother, you really are so sure of it
”That, is there no other way to find Senior, apart fro techniques?” I raised a question, and then was immediately stared at by a bunch of different-colored, shi+ny eyes
My hair stood up, my hair really stood up
Is it necessary for everyone to stare atto cause ical pressure to increase, which will then shorten my life!?
”I was just giving an exa a step back, I instantly added on this sentence
As if he suddenly thought of soht, there's still another way to find Icy Flame”
Everyone immediately looked at him
”But it's just that this way is rather shocking” Senior Gasai commented
”Then I'll have to trouble you not to act rashly” Clearly understanding what the word ”shocking””Yado, take out the Foretelling Mirror”
The Foretelling Mirror?
Of the ten treasures of the Water Fairies!?
I watched as Yado took out a large box that was half his height froe It wasfros, mostly totems and the like
Wait a minute!
You guys actually brought the fairies' treasure along with you and even lost the luggage once!?
I suddenly felt a little dizzy Sure enough, the people of this world are not compatible with me Most of the time I have only one conclusion about them: can't be understood
”Is it really alright for you guys to bring the water ht, Chifuyu finally e channel, he see Mirror is an important treasure of the Water Fairies Is this really okay?”
Yido s Mirror can only be activated by me If other people come across it, it'll be just like an useless water mirror; even if it's lost, we don't need to worry about it being misused And the waterhappens to the water mirror, I will definitely be able to retrieve it”
”So that's how it is” Chifuyu nodded
I kind of wanted to ask: ill happen if so does happen to the water mirror?
But I don't really dare to casually ask these sort of questions, because I've had s that shouldn't be said, and finally, it would conclude withslit if I let a third person know about it
Yado opened the box The interior was padded with a white, soft unknown grass, and in the ined It was kind of similar to the round mirrors from ancient times, with a radius of about twenty-five centimeters in size It was encircled by a silvery blue raved with a variety of deep blue totems
The mirror's surface was dark, a bit different from my impression of it
”I thought the Foretelling Mirror doesn't have a physical body” Looking at that black mirror, Gasai said the above words
”Nn, usually it doesn't, but e go out, it has to be convenient to bring, so ould temporarily seal it into a physical form, just like the one you see now” Yido stretched out his palm, and that black mirror seemed to have a life of its own as it ilow before it floated, slowlytoward his palm
At the sa,around Yido's feet, and slowly became drops of water bit by bit This scene is rather similar to when I first met Minas
”A shadow still exists around it In this kind of place, even the waterat the blurry surface of the mirror, Yido shook his head
”Or is so the use of spell-based techniques?” Senior Gasai folded his arhtful expression ”These few coo so smoothly Looks like it'll be quite difficult to end this”
He said what everyone was thinking about
Up till now, I' us is that face-changing person, but for so to do with the white and yellow fogs
It's just an intuition that I can't explain, so I'm not too sure either
”It did cover the Foretelling Mirror's vision, but it seenitive techniques can still work” S, Yido i above his pal zhī huá, yǐ èi , yī wǒ yuàn ér xiǎnxiàn zànqiě zhī shì”
[T/N: The water of the lake, the n, with me as your name, and the water mirror as your form, comply with my wish and reveal the present]
Thethat's very similar to ripples
There seemed to be a shadoithin the blurriness, but I was entirely unable toinside
”The things inside the ling to see the blurry shadow, Yado, who had been standing beside , issued in a very low voice, al me a start
Why didn't you say so earlier, causing me to look until I nearly went cross-eyed What a waste of energy
”I've obtained Prince Icy Fla while, Yido suddenly opened his eyes, living up to our expectations as he gave us this good news ”However, he's some distance away from us In addition, the water mirror also showed a third person in this place, but it was unable to show exactly who the third person is In short, this person has a great relevance on the events in this town”
A third person?
The third person isn't the face-changing person?
Obviously the water uy can be demoted to fourth person for now
”There are two directions, so how do you feel about the clearly heard those words too, Leido turned around, and asked both Gasai and Chifuyu
Hey, there's no need to ask me, huh!
What you trying to i me automatically!?
”If we first head towards the so-called third person, e be able to meet up with Icy Flame?” Senior Gasai asked a very crucial question
Yido closed his eyes again, and after a few seconds, he answered: ”Yes, but the time couldn't be detected However, Prince Icy Flah that area”
Basically, I can already tell what senior Gasai's ansill be
”I'll head towards the third person Instead of ai for someone, it would be better to first head towards the place that has h, just as I expected, senior Gasai made this decision
To tell the truth, souess Their process of thinking si at all
”I don't ed
”Then it's settled” Putting the water htly drew across the surface of the mirror, and that not-so-small ht After entering his palm, it vanished without a trace
Strange, if the mirror could be directly stored inside his body like this, then why did they have to go through all the trouble of bringing such a huge luggage here?
I don't get it
Looking around, Yido put his palether, and bit by bit, drops of water dispersed from his hands ”Let's wash the walls around us first before we continue” Once his words fell, those waterdrops instantly hit the surrounding walls As if they were being cleaned by heavy rain, the walls were immediately washed by violent streams of water, and lines of totems that looked a lot like fleas appeared everywhere
The entire drainage channel was filled with those whatchauides
Seeing the
