This was the first time Gawain saw such a solemn and heavy expression on the face of the siren Tyr. He originally thought that this expression would never appear on this deep-sea salty creature that seemed to never wake up. Water fish face, but it turns out that the other party's laziness still has a limit.
And what she said with this expression certainly didn’t sound like she was joking. Hetty immediately asked: “What do you mean by reshaping the world?”
"Literally speaking," Tyr shrugged (and the tip of his tail), "The properties of all matter will change. Some changes are subtle and will hardly be noticed by humans and will not affect the properties. Some changes will be earth-shaking or even drastic. It will change from stone to magic mineral; the magic environment in nature will also change. Areas that were originally full of magic power may become magic power depletion areas, and places that were originally thin in elements may become new gates to the elemental world, and creatures will become extinct on a large scale. Mutations, new species will be formed in a short period of time, and most of the civilization's creations will disappear in this earth-shaking change."
"...Are you trying to scare people," Amber said blankly. She listened blankly as the siren finished speaking. She understood the meaning of every word in the other person's words, but the meaning when combined was unbelievable. She was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shake her head. "Your statement is almost the same as those cultists who preach about the end of the world every day."
Tear snorted softly: "There is a difference. They only know that the end of the world is coming, but the Siren knows How will the end come?"
Gawain looked into Tyr's eyes quietly: "Have you ever experienced a real demonic tide?"
"You should know, the sea monster is a monster. An intelligent creature far older than the land races, we have been living in this world for many years before your civilization learned how to make fire." Tyr continued to poke the bread and potatoes in front of him with a fork curled at the tip of his tail, while using a lot of He said in a natural tone, "Of course we have seen some things that you have never seen."
Gawain continued to ask: "If the magic tide is really as you described, how did you get from the real magic tide? Who survived?"
Rebecca stopped her work of destroying the bread and looked up at Gawain in surprise: "My lord, do you really believe these statements?"
p>Gawain waved his hand: "It doesn't hurt to have a discussion during the banquet."
"Yes, it's just chatting," Tyr laughed, "The magic tide is indeed terrifying, most of them No mortal species can resist it, but we sea monsters are a bit special. We are...well, this should be related to the nature of our elemental creatures. The demonic tide has a great impact on the current world, but it cannot change the nature of the elemental realm. ', and the Kraken's life form is based on elements, and many of our magical powers are also driven by elements, so we have survived safely to this day, and our civilization still exists today..."
Tier stopped at this point, as if he didn't intend to continue on this topic, and just whispered.Muttered: "You have to start over every time..."
Hetty and Rebecca looked at each other. To them, the things Tire said were too unbelievable. Sometimes one thing is shocking. If it exceeds a certain level, it will no longer make people feel real. However, Gawain continued to follow Tire's words seriously: "Then let's put it this way, the 'magic tide' that happened on this continent seven hundred years ago , is it just a 'small fluctuation'?"
Tier replied casually: "Probably, after all, I didn't see what happened with my own eyes. I was just guessing based on your description."
"Do you know how often a real demon wave comes? How long is it until the next one?"
"I can't answer you," Tire shook his head, " We do believe that the magic tide will occur periodically, but this 'cycle' is very unstable, and the deviation is calculated in thousands of years. In other words, even if today is the theoretical day when the magic tide breaks out, its real outbreak time may be in One day in the next thousand years, who can say for sure?"
The atmosphere at the table became dull unconsciously. Gawain looked at Hetty and Rui, who had not touched the knife and fork for a long time. Beka, he knew that Miss Siren's unabashed words had caused a lot of pressure on them.
So he smiled and shook his head: "Since it's all uncertain, then we don't have to worry - don't forget why we decided to establish a pioneering territory in a place like the Dark Mountains in the first place. ."
"Just listen to what I said as a story," Tier probably noticed that she had ruined the atmosphere (of course it was possible that she was just too lazy to continue on this topic), she said. Shaking his head, "With your average lifespan as a human being, you don't have to worry about something like this that will happen in God knows how many generations. Just look at it, look at it."
"Let's talk about something. Take it easy," Gawain also changed the subject, "By the way, what do you usually do when you live in the deep sea?"
"Sleep."
Gowen. : "...I mean the normal sirens other than you - and you can't do nothing but sleep every day, right?"
"Then the normal things we can do are There are too many, including building houses, raising jellyfish, holding transformation competitions, etc.," Tier counted on his fingers with the tip of his tail, and suddenly became happy at the end, "but the most interesting thing is digging squid!"
Gawain was confused when he heard this: "What the hell is squid digging?"
"It's just digging for giant squid! One of our kind..." Tier frowned , trying hard to find a suitable word, "Renewable natural resources?"
Then she waved her tail: "Anyway, it's something that looks a lot like a giant squid, maybe some kind of ancient creature. The wreckage of the squid is so huge that it covers the entire seabed. Its tentacles can grow and regenerate on their own. After being dug out, they will grow back after a period of time. Moreover, the giant squid will also grow small tentacles to greet the sea monster or greet the sea monster. dance together,Very interesting! We go digging for squid every now and then - yes, the last time we fought with those crazy humans was because they built a smoky altar above the seabed where we dug squid, and they kept casting spells on the seabed to stir it up. , messed up our mines, and it was useless for us to send people to negotiate with them, and finally they started fighting. ”
This time, even Amber Betty and Rebecca were confused. To be fair, with a normal human perspective, they really couldn’t understand what this siren was describing. What a thing!
“The corpse of some huge creature? Even though he is already dead, he will continue to regenerate? Rebecca was stunned for a while, "Then...how many people can be fed!" ”
This girl deserves to be born as a down-and-out viscount. This idea is correct. In fact, when Gawain heard those descriptions, the first thing he thought of was eating, but he was more thoughtful than Rebecca. , he immediately realized that a ball of flesh and blood that was constantly regenerating was probably not a "safe ration" - especially that thing came from the weird and terrifying deep sea. Who knows how many weird things there are there?
In fact, the race of sea monsters is already considered one of the "weird things" in Gawain's eyes...
Even Amber can't help but be fascinated by the magical power of the sea monsters. I became interested in daily life and couldn't help but ask: "By the way, what are you digging for squid for?" Is it really for eating? "
"Um, actually it is mainly used as fuel for the magic reactor, but it can also be eaten..." The expression on Tier's face was a little embarrassed, "The meat of the big squid has very concentrated energy. , the taste is also super good. Don’t we sirens have no sense of taste? So things that are rich in energy and taste good are our delicacies. It’s just that usually the giant squid has to be supplied to the reactor first, and we usually eat some secretly..."
Gao Wen continued to be stunned: "It can be burned and eaten. What's the point?" What the hell! ?
Speaking of which, these deep-sea saltwater fishes actually eat the fuel in their own homes... Are they the naughty kids who drink gasoline? Sure enough, just as he imagined, there were some strange things in the deep sea.
Out of curiosity, Gawain asked Tyr a lot about the "big squid". , the characteristics of the latter are slowly pieced together in everyone's minds:
The remains of an extremely huge ancient creature, with a tentacle that may be several kilometers long, like a small mountain range.
It has been dead on the seabed for countless years, but there is no sign of decay, and it will even continue to regenerate - but every time it regenerates a little, it will be dug up and burned by the sea monster (or maybe eaten fell off).
Small tentacles sometimes grow on the surface of the tentacles of the giant squid. Those tentacles will greet or dance with the siren. The main comment of the siren on these tentacles is: Chewy.
Big squid.The deep-sea creatures living around fish have a strong tendency to attack, and they are also chewy.
The giant squid occasionally attracts some distant sea creatures, causing them to die near the squid's tentacles as if committing suicide - and these creatures from other sea areas are not chewy.
Obviously, Tyr's evaluation criteria for many things in the deep sea are based on "chewyness" - I don't know if this is her own habit or the Kraken race is like this...
p>After listening to Tyr’s description, Gawain suddenly had a doubt in his mind:
Have these salted fish... been dug in the sea? What is it?
Are they digging up an ancient god? !
The shocking idea that came to Gawain was not out of imagination, but because the various characteristics described by Tyr really made him think of the piece of god's flesh and blood he found in the ruins in the mountain - the god It is dead, but its flesh and blood is indestructible and can also affect the minds of other creatures. This feature is so special and distinctive that it is difficult for people not to associate it with it.
The "big squid" in the deep sea will continue to regenerate, but the piece of god's flesh and blood that Gawain found will not. This may be because the crystal cube created by the magisters of Gondor has a certain suppressive effect;
But the "big squid" affects the minds of many creatures, why does it not affect the sea monster? These sea monsters not only use the "big squid" as fuel, but even as food... So what are these salted fish made of?
