Rogel’s main body held his breath as he arrived at the underwater cave, took the rmaid’s Tear and mory Fish Scale, and then returned to the Gelin.
After storing the rmaid’s Tear away, he held the mory Fish Scale in his hand.
He wasn’t sure if the effect of the mory Fish Scale could be shared to the clone, so he could only apply it to his main body first.
"It certainly won’t be a beautiful mory."
Rogel took a deep breath and let the ga character slowly place the mory Fish Scale on his forehead.
After a whirlpool-like distortion appeared on the screen, a CG scene was displayed.
The rmaid’s na was Naya, which in their language ant purity and beauty.
Living at the bottom of the sea, their ho was filled with many shells and corals, beautiful and dreamy.
Naya had many friends and a sister nad Nia, and her life was happy and simple.
But one day, a group of uninvited guests arrived at their settlent, shattering their simple life entirely.
They were humanoid creatures uniformly dressed in black robes, adorned with silver stars.
These people captured the entire rmaid tribe that Naya belonged to, and those who resisted were all killed.
Naya was taken to a cave.
Her sister Nia was nowhere to be found.
Here, she watched as her forr kin were tortured to death one by one, experiencing painful and terrifying mutation.
At this ti, she deeply hated her extraordinary ability.
Being able to sense the mind communication of other creatures had beco a great sorrow.
Because what she heard was all pain and struggle, despair and wailing, these sounds constantly tortured her.
There was even a terrifying voice that appeared from ti to ti, just listening to part of it nearly shattered her spirit.
Eventually, she was forcibly made to swallow the tumor and was bound to this place.
But, at so point, those people stopped coming to this place.
She, too, slept for an unknown amount of ti in pain and struggle.
Upon waking again, she sensed a new creature had arrived here.
On the brink of death, she left a thought.
She implored Rogel, to find her sister Nia...
"Hah..."
"I’ll try my best, Naya..."
After Naya’s mory ended, Rogel exhaled.
His expression beca sowhat grave.
Because, from Naya’s mory, he learned an important piece of information.
The location of Naya’s tribe, or rather, the era she was from, might not be the sa as Rogel’s!
Because in this mory, a knowledgeable rmaid once told Naya about so matters of the human kingdom.
That kingdom wasn’t called Thousand Islands!
And the history of the Thousand Islands Kingdom spans several hundred years.
Unless, beyond the Five Major Seas, there are other human kingdoms...
Rogel rubbed his forehead.
He always felt the cave’s origin was exceedingly mysterious, now this point was further confird.
It seems the cave might involve forces related to ti.
But currently, Rogel still has no way to completely verify this, searching for the reason is even out of the question.
He can only set this aside for now and check the prompts.
[You have used the mory Fish Scale.]
[This item possesses a special skill—Voice of the Mind lv3.]
[Voice of the Mind lv3: You can listen to and feel the mind voices of other creatures through the Voice of the Mind, and conduct targeted mind communication.]
[Remaining uses of this skill 3/3]
Rogel originally thought the mory Fish Scale would allow him to acquire two skills, but it just gave him three chances to use this skill.
"...Not just three tis."
Rogel thought to himself.
Save and reload isn’t just for show.
If I listen and then reload, isn’t that fine?
"Listening can be done countless tis, but if used for speaking, then it truly can only be used three tis..."
After all, you can reload after listening.
But if you speak to a certain creature, you can’t very well reload right after having the conversation, can you?
Rogel stored away the mory Fish Scale.
Naya greatly helped him.
If possible, he would find her sister Nia.
At least he has to find those people wearing starry black robes.
Rogel took note of this matter secretly.
Then, his perspective once again shifted to the Deep Sea Blood Touch side.
After a series of mutated creatures were all slaughtered by Rogel, he had ti to carefully observe his surroundings.
This room had two entrances.
Besides the wall Rogel shattered, there was also an iron gate nearby.
Rogel ca to the iron gate and tried to open it but found that it was tightly closed.
"Seems there’s no way in from here, perhaps I need to find a key..."
Rogel started searching nearby but couldn’t find a key, only ca across a stone button with blood-colored patterns.
After observing it closely for a mont, Rogel pressed it.
[A heavy door has opened.]
A ga prompt appeared, Rogel looked at the iron gate, but it hadn’t moved at all.
Clearly, this switch didn’t control the door in front of him.
Rogel could only go to the passageway at the node and swam into the third passageway.
After entering this passageway, Rogel keenly sensed the oddity of the surrounding environnt.
This passageway exuded an eerie atmosphere everywhere.
On the rock walls, there were nurous tiny holes.
From these holes, blood-colored thin flesh tendrils kept erging and linked to other holes, forming a web of flesh tendrils on the rock walls that made people feel a chill.
Rogel saved a file, used the Serrated Bone Blade to cut off one of the flesh tendrils.
A sharp sound similar to what was heard before ca, and this flesh tendril shrank fiercely back into the hole.
Rogel did not see any kill prompt.
This made him feel suspicious.
He continued forward.
Not long after, Rogel saw a heavy stone door that was open.
Behind the stone door was a whirlpool teleport point and a secret statue.
[Secret Statue—Teleport Point Revived.]
[Now you can teleport to this node via the key.]
After taking a deep breath, Rogel swam into the whirlpool teleport point.
...
[Underwater cave, third layer.]
In a huge enclosed room.
This room was filled with seawater, but tinged with a pale red color.
The walls around were covered in interwoven blood-colored flesh tendrils, like a human throat when swallowing, continuously transporting sothing.
In the center of this room, curled a skinny humanoid creature.
Behind it, a heart the size of a person constantly pulsed like a water pump, extending a thick blood vessel, connecting with the humanoid creature’s spine.
It was hugging its knees, emitting weak murmuring sounds.
Surprisingly, Rogel could actually understand so of its language.
Or rather, it shared the mind communication ability with rmaids.
[It hurts... it hurts...]
[Mom and Dad... where are you...]
[Please don’t... don’t leave...]
