The place that the rman King led was a temple.
However, this temple was in a different style compared to the buildings that we had passed.
The style that the buildings in this capital of the rman Empire was built in was what one would imagine from a kingdom of rmaids. It was built with what seed to be shells and different kinds of underwater materials.
It was only this temple that had the style that would be found on land.
It was only this temple that seed to be made of rocks.
This was a large temple that had a very large statue at the top of it. This statue was a large trident that had three large points right at the tip of this temple.
The strange thing was that this trident really seed excessive for a temple of this size, but there it was.
It was almost as if whoever had built this temple wanted to show off.
Of course, it wasn't my place to judge them on this.
All that mattered for was seeing the god that the rman Empire worshiped, the god of water, Aquaron.
Before entering the temple, there were so rman that ca over to stop us.
This was a group of old rman who were wearing clothes that were similar to the clothes that those from the Holy Empire wore. Though the clothes that they wore had more of an underwater feel to them compared to the robes that the priests of the Holy Empire wore.
It was clear that they were priests that worked at this temple.
After coming out, they actually didn't pay any attention to the rman King that was leading our group. As soon as they ca out, their attention imdiately went to , who was in the middle of the group.
It was even surprising that they were able to see since I was hidden by the others.
The rman King saw this and didn't seem to mind.
With a wave of his hand, the rmaid guards moved out of the way and revealed , who was standing there in the middle of the group.
The priests imdiately ca over and surrounded , but with the air bubble in the way, it was more than they surrounded the air bubble.
They seed like they wanted to co forward and look at carefully, but they stopped themselves from popping the air bubble in the end.
It wasn't out of respect for , but rather out of respect for the fact that the air bubble was created with Aquaron's relic. They looked at the air bubble as if they could tell that it was special.
After looking at like this for a bit which made feel like so kind of animal in a cage, the priest that was in charge finally said, "You are the one that Lord Aquaron summoned?"
Though he asked this, it was clear by the way that they looked at that they already knew that it was .
In fact, I was the only human that was here, so that made it even more obvious.
Still, with them surrounding like this, it wasn't as if I would be able to go anywhere... So I simply said with a nod, "That's right."
They looked at for a bit longer before suddenly moving out of the way.
The head priest just gave a simple nod and gestured to the main temple as he said, "His excellency is waiting for you."
I just gave a simple nod before moving forward towards the main altar of this temple. While I was moving forward, there were more people that suddenly ca out.
To my surprise, there were a bunch of other priests and nuns that ca out that stood on the sides of the main entrance. They lined up as if they were creating a path for to walk down.
While I was walking through, they even started singing hymns as if this was so kind of ceremony.
A bitter smile appeared on my lips when I heard this, but I had to admit that their singing was beautiful.
This was the singing of rmaids that could even compel a man to ram their ship into rocks, so it could only be described as hypnotic to people that weren't prepared for it.
But for , I had already heard Ariel's singing before and had been able to hold on, so it wasn't a problem for to resist this singing. Even if the singing had completely surrounded since there were so many rmaids here.
When I entered the temple and the doors closed behind , I found that the singing had completely disappeared.
It was silent in this temple, as if the doors had completely cut off the sound behind .
It was as if I had entered a completely different world.
It was unknown if they just stopped singing or if the sound proofing in this place was just that
good.
Once I was in this place, I imdiately looked around the temple.
To my surprise, this place was actually quite simple.
There weren't any pews or such that one might see in a human church, there was only a single statue that was right at the front of this room.
It had sothing that was on the top of this temple and sothing that wasn't on the top of
the temple.
It was a statue of a muscular man who was holding a trident.
This was most likely a statue of the god that was worshiped in this temple.
This was most likely a statue of Aquaron.
Seeing this statue, I couldn't help thinking to myself...
"This god seems to love himself a bit too much."
It was with this thought that there was a flash of light that ca from in front of .
This flash of light ca from the statue that was there before I was pulled into a completely
different space.
