To be honest, it was not unexpected for Gao Wen to see some strange mutated versions in the process of searching for his life biography. Seven hundred years of changes are enough for those imaginative unofficial historians to turn any one into a new one. The arrangement of ancient characters is bizarre, and Gawain Cecil is a golden brand known to the entire continent. The legendary life of this pioneering hero for thirty-five years can be said to be everlasting among all classes of people. There is a saying that goes well when it comes to topics - people who achieve great success and fame die young. Where can I find such good topics?
At this time, Gawain was even a little grateful that this world was backward. He was grateful that the cultural industry in this world could not usher in explosive development because it was in the hands of the upper class. If this place was as developed as the earth, it would not be safe. He could see the pioneering pioneers seven hundred years ago being replaced with portraits one by one and hung in the game mall. Charles I was given a gift when he logged in, Archduke Wilder needed to sign in for seven days, and Gawain Cecil was included in the first gift package... …
And these people will have new skins coming out every month. His two granddaughters are very likely to throw in the family’s money and explode them so that they can lick their ancestors’ new designs——and He, the client who rose up in the coffin, will maintain the embarrassment of more than 200 plus numbers throughout the whole process, wishing he could destroy himself...
Gowen slapped himself hard on the forehead and started to run away. His thoughts were forcibly gathered back, and he sighed, looking at the "popular book" full of absurd arrangements in front of him - everyone knew that the story in it was false, but it was about the lady from the central and southern parts of the kingdom. Favorite recreational reading, which fully proves the vitality of popular literature and how boring people's daily life is in this era.
But as a person involved, Gawain saw some hidden facts in those random love stories-the stories inside were not all false.
Except for the confidante who was pieced together, there are many adventure stories related to Gawain Cecil, which have not appeared in any official biography. When outsiders see them, they may be classified together with those confidantes as the imagination of some second-rate novelist, but Gawain knows that at least half of those unknown adventures are real.
Search the ruins of ancient tombs in the wasteland of Gondor to find clues about the elemental spirits; when passing through the "Magic Scorch", he led a few soldiers to find a safe passage, and unexpectedly discovered the crystal spirit. The Order of the Magisters of Gondor; go deep into the mountains when Cecil led the founding, communicate with the elements and receive blessings...
These are the other sides of Gawain Cecil as a pioneer. From these It can be seen from experience that he really lives like a cheat with a halo... Of course, it doesn't matter whether he is a cheat or not. What is important is that these unknown stories actually appeared in a ridiculous knight novel. This is intriguing.
This novel has been circulating for a long time, and the original author cannot be verified. He was probably worried about being beaten when he wrote the book, so the only clue left by this author isIt is the pen name of "Mr. Bard C". Gawain doesn't know how this Mr. C knows these stories, but he must be a patient and knowledgeable guy. He has visited countless places with Gawain. ·Only people who had contact with Cecil or their descendants could compile this information. Among all these adventure stories, one chapter mentioned the story of Gawain Cecil's challenge to the deep sea.
The story goes like this: After Gawain Cecil assisted the great founding king Charles I to establish the kingdom, he was deeply worried about the monsters that continued to wander out of the wasteland of Gondor and the monsters that were still there. The demonic tide that continued to spread was corrupting, so he turned to the elemental spirits of earth, water, fire, and wind. The four princesses from the four elemental planes (there are princesses in that thing?) were impressed by the young heroic knight. Many people offered him advice, and Gawain Cecil finally accepted the enlightenment of the water element and set out to the ocean to find the answer.
Although there was no Storm Priest as a guide on the sea, Gawain Cecil received help from the sea elves (of course, in Mr. C’s writing, the sea elves lost another princess in the process) , the sea elves allowed the fleet to cross the storm around the continent and guided the team all the way to the east.
After an unknown number of days and nights of sailing, the sea elves suddenly fell into panic and dissuaded Gawain from continuing forward, because the sea further east was the territory of the "sea monster", and any land creature It is impossible for any race to contend with the powerful sea monster in the ocean, but Gawain Cecil was not afraid. He insisted on moving forward, so the sea elves had to leave the team, and most of the ships in the fleet also followed. The elves left, and only Gawain Cecil and a few loyal guards continued to sail the boat, and not long after, they encountered the Siren.
The smart reader Gawain immediately guessed that there must be a princess in the Siren...
But this story is a bit anticlimactic here, and Mr. C is just scrawled. It is recorded that Gawain Cecil gained the trust of the Siren and was guided to a "sacred and beautiful" place. The group drank wine there for three days and three nights, and then were thrown back to Los Angeles by a storm. Lun continent.
This is obviously meant to fool readers.
Intuition tells Gawain that this story should be the record of the long sea voyage that is missing from Gawain Cecil’s memory.
But a strange race appears here: the Kraken.
Gawain is very unfamiliar with the name of this race, and there is only a slight impression in the memory he inherited, but they all point to bizarre myths and legends, which are not enough to obtain evidence.
At this moment, there was a knock on the study door. After the door opened, Druid Pittman walked in: "Sir, I heard Amber said you were looking for me?"
Gawain nodded, let the old druid enter the house and asked straight to the point: "Have you ever heard of the Siren?"
"The Siren?" Pitman touched his chin, "I I've heard something about them.legend. ”
Gawain’s eyes suddenly lit up: Druid is indeed the profession that knows the most about the races in the world. Even if all Pitman knows is the legendary story about the sea monster, the level of detail is definitely higher than Most people know much more!
“Tell me about it! "
Pitman twirled his beard and said unhurriedly: "The legend of the Kraken is mostly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of the continent. Few people mention it here in Ansu. Even if it is mentioned, it is not mentioned." It only appears in horror stories or similar weird stories. It is said that the Kraken is one of the oldest intelligent creatures in the world, and its history is most likely as old as the dragon. They have ruled the oceans for thousands of years before the rise of humans.
“The Sirens are a race of only women. They live in the depths of the ocean in the far east and almost never communicate with the intelligent races on the mainland; they all have beautiful looks, but they only have The upper body looks like a human, and the lower body looks like various sea monsters...
"In addition to these, there are also legends that say that the sea monsters do not communicate with humans, but because they have The ability to change into human form, so when they land on the beach, they will immediately blend into the crowd... Yes, the ability to change, many legends point out that sirens have ever-changing forms. They are as amorphous as water, so they can transform into various forms. With various appearances, most of the sea monster legends in the distant sea are their masterpieces.
"In addition, there are also legends that sea monsters will visit the land in a planned way. Because they have a long lifespan, they regard it as a kind of fun to observe the development of short-lived civilizations such as humans. Whenever human civilization rises and falls, Once there is a twists and turns, they will come to watch out of curiosity; some people think that the sea monster visits the land to find something. In some classics of the Silver Elf, some people swore that they left records of contact with the sea monster, and said that the sea monster They will communicate peacefully with intelligent creatures on land. They sometimes ask "land people" for help, and as long as the land people can fulfill their wishes, they will receive very generous rewards - sometimes rare jewelry in the deep sea. Sometimes it is a weird and incredible magical device. It is said that the sea elves royal family has a trident that can release thunder and lightning, which was a gift given to them by the sea monster thousands of years ago.
"But there are also legends that point to the sea. The demons don't seem to know the value of the gifts they give. They just give some things to the people on land according to their own preferences. Sometimes you give them directions and they will give you a box of pearls. Sometimes You have done them a great favor, but they will only give you a piece of fish - and there are teeth marks on the fish. Records in this area were also left by the Silver Elves. "
Gawain interrupted Pitman's narration: "If they encounter a sea monster while sailing on an ocean voyage, how will they treat the people who 'invade the ocean'? "
Pittman raised his eyebrows: "You have touched upon my blind spot of knowledge - but according to most legends, encountering a sea monster in the distant sea is very, very dangerous. ”
"Very dangerous?" Gawain frowned, "Aren't there many legends that mention that sea monsters can communicate peacefully with people on land? They even give gifts and so on..."
" But that's on land," Pittman said with a serious expression. "In the ocean, they seem to be very aggressive, especially when the Trekkers enter some sea areas they shouldn't enter, and the Kraken will immediately turn into terror. The sea monsters come out to drive away or even chase them. They are the dependents of the sea. They have unimaginable power on the sea. Even the thunder and lightning summoned by the most powerful magician cannot compare with their storms. There are so many stories about ocean voyages. The horror stories are not all groundless."
Gawain frowned: "Is that so..."
At the same time, in the east far away from the Loren continent. In the deep sea, some elegant and graceful figures are quickly crossing the dark and deep seabed. Their snake tails or fish tails are swinging in the water, making these beautiful and intelligent creatures move quickly and elusively like phantoms in the deep sea.
They had no idea that they had been treated as a topic of discussion by two humans on a distant continent. For these deep-sea saltwater fish, there was still very important work waiting for them to complete.
A siren crossed a "mountain" on the seabed and looked at the scene in front of her that was winding along the seafloor. Her special "deep sea vision" allowed her to navigate the dark seabed. Gaze far into the distance.
A staggeringly huge tentacle stretches across the seabed in front. The tentacle is covered with layers of corals and deep-sea plants. A large number of fragmented pieces of flesh and blood are scattered around the tentacle. They have been completely lost. It's full of life, but there's no sign of decay.
And in a more distant place, at the end of the tentacles that extend like a small mountain range, you can vaguely see a more mammoth shadow, which is a larger flesh and blood body, the "third The direction of the "excavation site".
The long snake tail of the leader of the excavation team flapped on the seabed beach, and then the tip of the tail was raised high, swinging rapidly like a flag in the sea water. She gave instructions loudly to her team members: "Let's dig here today! Come on, everyone!"
The sea monsters responded in unison: "Come on, everyone!"
"Don't go too far with the 'squid', don't waste it Time!"
"Don't waste time!"
"Don't steal engine fuel!"
"Don't steal engine fuel!"
p>"Excavate!"
"Excavate!"
