"So Miss Mei, you got lost when you arrived in Fengyuan, and then you happened to fall here."

"That's right. I didn't expect this primeval forest to be so big." Thinking of my previous encounter, I sighed.

"Sorry, I can't send you out right away because of some things."

"Nothing, I'd rather say I'm happy to meet people. Mr. Daigo just tells me the way out."

"The road here is more complicated. If you are not in a hurry, how about Miss Yayi going with me first?" The man invited me, "I will be responsible for sending you out after the things here are taken care of."

Compared to continuing to get lost, the proposal in front of me is obviously a better choice.

"Excuse me, Mr. Daigo. If there is any need for help, I will do my best."

"Then thank you in advance, Miss Yayi."

After the polite conversation, the cave returned to silence again. Following Mr. Daigo away from the place where I fell, we came to a huge cave to rest, where the man's luggage was placed.

This is the ruins of an ancient civilization. I don’t know when it was built, and I don’t know when it died. It was eventually buried in this primeval forest. We are at the entrance of the building, and we can vaguely see the outline of the outer wall. The original door has been completely eroded by time, leaving only the dark entrance.

The man who helped me was organizing his belongings, including a searchlight, a pickaxe, and climbing tools. . .

Noticing my gaze, he looked away from the tool and looked back.

The intersection of their eyes made my heart beat a few times, and I had to admit that even in mountaineering clothes, I couldn't hide his aura. In order to hide my embarrassment, I found a random topic. "Why are you here, Mr. Daigo?"

"Just because of personal hobbies, there are stones here that I want to find."

Stones, I think of Mr. Zifuqi’s previous hobby of collecting stones. Is this a trend in Hoenn?

"Is there any problem? Miss Yayi."

"Well, it's nothing, I just thought of the people I know."

"Then why did Miss Yayi come here?"

"Ok?"

"Sorry, I've already said that before." The man gently brought up the topic and played with the tools in his hands casually. "If you have rested well, let's set off, Miss Yayi."

Ignore the sense of inconsistency in the conversation and lend a helping hand to people in trouble. Mr. Daigo is never a bad person. The most important thing is this name. I always feel like I have heard it somewhere, and the sound is a bit familiar.

"I haven't asked yet, Mr. Daigo, where are we going?"

"This is it. I plan to go to the ruins."

----------

The roads in the ruins are straight and long, with no side roads at all. The same stone pillars appear on both sides of the road at certain intervals, and the sound of footsteps is infinitely amplified by the echo. Mr. Daigo walked diagonally in front of me, turning back to pay attention to my situation from time to time.

The searchlight was held in front of him, and the light it emitted could only illuminate a two-meter radius. In order to keep myself in the light as much as possible, I quietly closed the distance with Mr. Daigo.

After walking along this road for a long time, we finally came to the area at the end of the road. Mr. Daigo placed the lamp in the center of the floor. The room was not large, and the entire space was illuminated by the searchlight alone.

"Mr. Daigo, is the stone you are looking for right here?"

"It doesn't look like it." Using the light, Dawu observed the surrounding walls.

Without further disturbing his thinking, I also came to the edge of the room. Just like the outermost wall of the ruins, the wall here has also been weathered, and cracks can be seen everywhere on the huge stone bricks.

Just, except for this piece in front of me.

I touched this different stone brick with my hand. It didn't feel as smooth as it looked. I could feel the slight ridges wandering on the surface.

"Mr. Daigo, please look here."

"Have you found anything?"

Dawu also brought the searchlight placed in the center of the room. As the light source came closer, the raised areas became more and more obvious, and unknown words appeared on the brick surface.

This is. . . The ancient writings of Hezhong’s underwater ruins! In Black and White 2, in Ripple Town, you can get a notebook that interprets ancient texts. When you investigate the underwater ruins later, the words on the stone tablet will automatically be displayed as translations.

I tried to focus on the brick surface, and it actually translated. . . I subconsciously read the words above, "Outsiders..."

"Miss Yayi, can you understand the text above?" The man who was calm and calm along the way rarely showed an expression of admiration, "This is really amazing knowledge."

"It's not about knowledge, I just happen to understand the meaning above." Rather than understanding, it's more like automatic translation. I can't figure out the specific principle.

"Then I'll trouble you." After hearing my answer, Mr. Daigo raised the searchlight closer so that I could continue reading.

"O stranger, I will tell you of the glory of the King. The King was born at the turn of dawn. That is all."

"Morning and dusk alternate, which means around 6 p.m." Mr. Daigo turned to look at the road we came from and continued to say to me, "Do you still remember those stone pillars on the road we came from? I counted them, there are 24 in total. .”

"That means the entrance is near the 18th stone pillar?"

"That's it, let's go."

"Ah."

We started to return along the way we came. Mr. Daigo and I were responsible for checking both sides of the wall, and after passing six stone pillars, we discovered the location of the mechanism.

"Here, this brick is loose. Miss Yai, please step back." After confirming that I was at a safe distance, Mr. Daigo pressed the loose brick. Then, the sound of gears turning sounded, and a new road appeared under our feet.

"Let's go, please be careful."

Stepping up the stairs, the passage is only for one person. Mr. Daigo moved the searchlight from his chest to his back, illuminating the path under my feet, and soon we reached the next room.

On the wall directly opposite the entrance to the room, just as the hint just mentioned, it depicts the story of a certain king.

At the turn of dawn and dusk, the child was born surrounded by people and sat on the throne of this country when he reached adulthood. However, due to the limited territory, in order to compete for resources, wars continue between countries on this continent. In order to find a solution, the young king embarked on a journey.

"Miss Mei, please translate here." While I was still looking at the murals, Mr. Daigo had already found clues to this room.

"Okay." I walked up to him and read the words on the wall, "The king drove the giant beasts to expand the land, and the people no longer fought."
