As he walked, Bai Shi said, "This island must have once been home to a huge city. They used the same language as us, so they were probably our ancestors.
"It's a pity there are no specific records or heritage; otherwise, we wouldn't have to suffer because of these damned ruins.
"I believe you already know how large a city-state's ruins can be. How could every exposed ruin be useful? Most of them are like this—just piles of broken stones.
"It's just that some ruins have strange things buried inside that can be activated by certain languages. We need to be careful, but not excessively so."
He was like a tour guide, leading Alka and the others on a tour of the island. He introduced the ruins and some dangerous areas as if he were telling stories about scenic spots.
