The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

After counting his breaths more than a thousand times, Gu Ran began to swim upwards.

"Travel westward."

When Gu Ran surfaced, he heard the little conch's grandmother's words once again.

"Can this thing even be used for location tracking? Wasn't the little conch detected back then? Was it because the distance was too far, or even if it was detected, the merfolk couldn't reach the little conch to save it?"

Gu Ran carefully stroked the pink conch necklace around her neck, sensing that it was not an ordinary item.

Afterwards, the little conch grandmother used the conch necklace to make Gu Ran change direction several times along the way, and finally told him that if he kept swimming, he could return to the mermaid clan.

Gu Ran saw Alice waiting for him from a great distance.

"Gu Ran!"

Alice waved to him happily, her golden hair shimmering in the sunlight, and swam toward him.

"The elder has been waiting for you. Let me take you to see her."

Gu Ran nodded: "Perfect timing, I also have some questions I'd like to ask her."

Along the way, Alice secretly glanced at Gu Ran, wanting to say something, but she bit her lip, her delicate white cheeks flushed red, and in the end she said nothing.

Gu Ran noticed her unusual behavior, but at the moment his mind was completely focused on the little conch, so he didn't bother to ask.

Not long after, Gu Ran met Little Conch's grandmother.

"Is the person in that underwater ruin really Little Eudora? How can you be so sure?" Gu Ran asked directly when he saw Little Conch's grandmother.

Grandma Conch glanced at Alice, and after Alice left, she slowly said, "That was indeed Eudora, because only Eudora can enter the underwater ruins to receive the inheritance. Other creatures, whether they are mermaids or not, even if they obtain the key to open the ruins, cannot actually receive the inheritance."

Only Eudora can receive the inheritance?

Gu Ran instantly grasped the key information.

That underwater ruin is indeed closely related to the mermaid race. It's not just that it was occupied by the mermaids. Moreover, the little conch's importance to the mermaid race goes beyond just being the daughter of the chief and a mermaid princess. To the mermaid race, the little conch might even be more important than her chief and mother.

So that's why the little conch has this conch necklace, right? It allows her to be located and found at any time, and it also allows her to activate a teleportation skill to escape most dangers.

However, if that's the case, then the only thing inside the ruins could indeed be a small sea snail.

Thinking of this, Gu Ran felt a little relieved.

It's good that the little sea snail is alright.

"So we don't need to worry about it now? Can those sea monsters and ferocious beasts really not destroy that underwater ruin? Even if they can't, won't Eudora inside be affected?" Gu Ran continued to ask, which was another aspect he was concerned about.

Grandma Conch shook her head: "No, the power of that ruin is far beyond your imagination. Its history is so long that even we mermaids ourselves cannot say how many years it has existed. But all these years have passed, and it has been able to continue to operate. Neither natural disasters nor attacks from any creature can damage it in the slightest, so there is no need to worry about it."

"As for the inside, it is said to be like another small world. Once you go in, you will not be affected by the outside. Therefore, our merfolk have used it as a sanctuary."

Gu Ran: "Your mermaid race also used it as a sanctuary? That means that besides those who receive the inheritance, other creatures can also enter? Then why doesn't your mermaid race use this ruin as a sanctuary now? Is it because you lack inheritors, so your mermaid race can't control that ruin now?"

Grandma Conch nodded: "Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it from you anymore. The Merfolk did indeed have a successor of that ruin. That was the most glorious moment for the Merfolk. Even when faced with natural disasters that mortals couldn't resist, the entire Merfolk could enter the ruin for refuge."

"However, not all mermaids can receive the inheritance at any time. Only mermaids who are recognized by the ruins can begin to receive the inheritance when they officially come of age and enter the ruins with the key. Eudora is a mermaid recognized by the ruins, and just a few days ago, Eudora also came of age."

Gu Ran suddenly thought of the little sea snail's kiss.

I never expected that she, who looked to be about the same age as me, was already an adult.

Grandma Conch continued, "Although Eudora has reached the most suitable time to receive the inheritance, the area around the ruins has been occupied by those ferocious beasts, and the mermaids cannot stray too far from the ruins. It has reached the most critical moment. So I thought I would ask Eudora to ask you if you can help the mermaids reclaim the ruins so that Eudora can enter the ruins to receive the inheritance."

"Actually, I was a bit too anxious, because I had no idea of ​​your actual strength. I was just hoping for the best, but I didn't expect that after seeing you, Eudora would decide to risk infiltrating the ruins to receive the inheritance. Fortunately, she succeeded in the end. If anything had happened to Eudora, it would have been a catastrophe for the merfolk."

Gu Ran suddenly realized that he finally understood the unusual behavior of the little conch that day.

It turns out that Little Conch came to ask him with a guilty feeling. She felt that she was taking advantage of him. After learning that his strength was not enough to reclaim the ruins immediately and safely, she decided to secretly risk sneaking in herself.

Gu Ran suddenly asked, "Among the merfolk, is Eudora the only one who can receive the inheritance from the ruins?"

Grandma Conch said with certainty, "That's right. Only Eudora has been recognized by the ruins. No other mermaid can accept the inheritance of the ruins!"

......

Outside the light screen.

boom!

Grandma Conch's words struck Ariel like a thunderclap.

“That’s right. Only Eudora has been recognized by the ruins. No other mermaid can accept the legacy of the ruins.”

Besides this, no other merman can receive the legacy of the ruins... no other merman can receive the legacy of the ruins...

Then what is Ariel to her?

Since only Eudora, the mermaid, has been able to receive the legacy of the ruins from beginning to end, it is impossible for her to appear!

"No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ariel murmured involuntarily. "Something must be wrong. It's impossible that only that pink mermaid could receive the legacy of the ruins!"

The other powerful humans were also taken aback and began to discuss among themselves.

"That's impossible. In fact, the one who received the inheritance is the current Sea Queen, not that pink mermaid."

"What's going on? Was the old merman lying? Or did something unexpected happen later?"

"That's possible. After all, the old mermaid herself said that although this ruin was occupied by her mermaid clan, it has a very long history. There might be some secrets that even her own mermaid clan doesn't know. It's understandable if she's wrong."

"That's true. Besides, we can't guarantee she's lying. Although Gu Ran has helped them so much, it's also possible that the old mermaid is very cunning and doesn't want to reveal the secrets of the mermaid race."

Lin Fan initially felt something was amiss, but after hearing what others said, he calmed down, thinking that Gu Ran couldn't possibly clear her name twice more.

I must have been affected by what happened with Gu Qingqing earlier, and I was overthinking it.

......

In the light screen.

After asking the question, Gu Ran kept staring at the little conch grandmother's expression. If she showed even the slightest sign of lying, he would definitely be able to detect it.

However, Gu Ran's final feeling was that she wasn't lying.

Actually, Gu Ran's final question was somewhat of a surprise attack, to confirm whether what was inside the ruins was indeed a small conch.

"How long will it take for Eudora to come out?" Gu Ran asked finally.

Grandmother of the little conch: "I can't be sure. There are tests when receiving the inheritance. If it goes smoothly, then you can come out sooner. If there are any unexpected events, then you will come out later. I don't know exactly how long it will take."

If we don't know the specific "reopening time," then we can only wait.

During this time, Gu Ran noticed that Alice seemed to be watching him the whole time, but when he looked at her, she quickly looked away.

The time had passed until the sixth day.

"Gu Ran, something terrible has happened at the ruins; the situation is very bad," Grandma Conch said gravely. "It seems something unexpected has occurred inside the ruins. We must take remedial action, otherwise Eudora may very well fail..."

"What if she fails?" Gu Ran's heart tightened.

"The result is death."

The underwater ruins were still radiating light, but they were no longer as dazzling as before, and huge tremors were emanating from them, forming wave after wave of waves.

Gu Ran looked at the little conch grandmother beside her, her eyes asking – what should we do now?

Grandma Conch turned around: "Come with me."

92. The Truth! The Beginning of a Fallen Alliance!? 4k

Throughout the journey, Grandma Conch's expression remained very solemn.

Around noon, Grandma Conch stopped.

She turned and glanced at Gu Ran: "Let's move on."

Gu Ran nodded.

I don't know how deep I swam, but gradually a completely black building appeared on the seabed.

Another underwater ruin?

"Where is this?" Gu Ran asked the little conch grandmother with a questioning look in his eyes.

Grandma Conch took out a bead, which emitted a soft light that illuminated a distance of several meters around it.

“This is another underwater ruin, containing tools that can help Eudora.” Grandmother Conch, holding the bead, disappeared into the darkness. “Let’s go in.”

Gu Ran was slightly puzzled, but he didn't have time to ask any more questions. Seeing that Grandma Little Conch had already gone inside, he had no choice but to follow her in.

The entire ruins resembled a mass of thick ink, pitch black inside, so dark that even with Gu Ran's eyesight, he couldn't see very far.

If it weren't for the glowing pearl of the little conch's grandmother, which provided enough light to dispel the darkness, he probably wouldn't be able to tell which way was which by now.

However, it wasn't all water. Gu Ran cleared her throat and found that she could speak.

"How can we help Eudora?" After walking for a while, Gu Ran suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

"It's very simple, it's just that you die."

The little conch grandmother, who had been walking forward, suddenly turned around. The white light shone on her aged face, making her look very sinister.

trap? !

why? !

Gu Ran was startled, and then immediately tried to capture the little conch grandmother.
