A report from the Rune Research Institute was sent to Gawain. He looked at the report for a long time, finally exhaled slightly, stood up, opened the door to the terrace, and walked outside the room.
The cold wind in the cold winter is blowing against our faces, but the cold winter air cannot make Cecil Territory fall into silence. Under the bright sunshine after the snow, the citizens of Cecil Territory are walking back and forth. Go to various jobs in the streets, or go to the Government Affairs Office to look for new job opportunities.
"Have you successfully achieved a certain degree of signal transmission within the coverage of the magic field..." Looking at the territory that was still prosperous in winter, what Gawain thought of was what he saw in the report. Content, "In the magic field, the oscillating magic power of a specific frequency can be transmitted wirelessly, and the function of the 'black box' part of the communication spell seems to be only to allow the frequency of the magic oscillation to achieve wide-area changes... Could it be said that the entire world is Is it shrouded in a magic field? The original magic is not a disordered energy traveling in nature, but a large field with a complex structure?"
Gawain's thoughts were divergent, and his eyes were moving randomly. I swept around the yard downstairs, but I couldn't help but stop halfway through the sweep.
He saw a long, beautiful girl emerging from the mansion door as cautiously as a thief. That was Tier, who stayed in the room all day and rarely left the house. The strange siren didn't know what she wanted to do. She hesitantly reached the door of the courtyard, and then very carefully stuck out the tip of her tail - poking at the snow outside the courtyard gate that had not yet been cleared.
The next second Gawain saw Tire's whole body straighten up, and his tail quickly retracted.
The two guards standing at the door of the yard looked at this strange sea caterpillar in confusion the whole time.
Gawain couldn't help but greeted curiously: "Tyr, what are you doing?"
Miss Siren was startled by the sudden sound coming from above, and almost almost She twitched her tail and jumped out of the door. Then she looked up and saw Gawain standing on the second floor terrace. She raised her tail and shook it: "I want to go out! But the winter in your human world is too cold..."
“You actually have time to go out?” Govent was surprised, “Have you ended your hibernation?”
“Didn’t I not go swimming in the river for a long time? I thought the sun was quite bright today, so I wanted to go for a swim to relax, but I didn’t expect...ugh - it’s so cold in the snow! I decided not to go..."
Gawain listened. As Er said, I couldn't help but look up at the huge sun disk in the sky that could cover almost half of the sky, and thought to myself that the siren girl was right, the sun is indeed quite big...
Tir At this time, she spoke again, waving her arms and the tip of her tail vigorously: "Human lord, are you basking in the sun up there?"
Gawain replied casually: "Yes."< /p>
"Then I'll show off with you too!"
Miss Siren shouted from a distance, then flicked her tail and came towards this side. At first, Gawain thought that the girl was going to enter the house and climb up the stairs to the second floor, so he wanted to turn around and open the balcony door. As a result, before he had time to take action, he realized that something was wrong - the sea monster reached the center of the yard and stopped, then coiled its long tail twice in place, tremblingly holding up its upper body like a spring, and tightened Then she started to exert force, pressing her whole body tighter and tighter - at this point Gawain guessed what this clever guy wanted to do, and quickly stopped him: "Wait a moment..."
However, He said this half a beat too late. By the time he finished speaking, he had already seen that the salted fish essence had completely compressed him into a flat spring. Then there was a "boom" sound, and Tier's whole body moved towards him. Flying straight towards the terrace...
A light blue light curtain immediately lit up above the terrace, completely covering all angles leading to the terrace. Gawain watched helplessly as Tier hit him head-on. On the shield, the tail was slapped in front of the light curtain with a "snap" sound.
The confused mermaid lady (sea snake and salted fish) just slipped off the shield in front of Gawain.
After a few seconds, the shield disappeared automatically. Gawain looked under the balcony and saw Tyr wrapping his tail around the pillar under the balcony, struggling to climb up. Although it was difficult for her to climb up because of her strange way of controlling her tail, luckily the second floor was not very high, so she basically stuck her tail on the ground and climbed up...
It took a moment... Afterwards, Miss Siren, who climbed outside the railing, stretched out her hand: "Hey, don't just look at me, give me a hand."
Gawain expressionlessly stretched out his hand to pull the salty fish spirit onto the terrace: " Oh."
After finally climbing up, the first thing Tier did was to put his hands on his hips and complain: "Why did you put up a shield on the terrace when you had nothing to do? What?”
Gowen spread his hands and said, “It’s mainly to protect against Amber—there are shields outside every window, balcony, and terrace of this house. If you approach quickly, you will definitely be hit by it. On the barrier."
Tier glanced at Gawain: "Does it work?"
Gawain sighed: "It doesn't work, Amber came in with a shadow step, it's not as good as a mousetrap. ."
Tiel looked helpless and muttered as he rolled himself into a ball seriously: "I live in this house more or less, why didn't anyone tell me about such a big renovation? ..."
"Nonsense, you sleep most of the day, and only have a meal when you wake up occasionally. I doubt that even if the entire Cecil Territory is blown up one day, you will have to wait until We won't know until the next meal..."
Tier looked Gawain up and down, and suddenly said: "Usually you always look serious and dignified in front of others. I didn't expect you. This person’s words are quite interesting.”
Gawain was startled for a moment, and couldn’t help but smile and sigh:"Actually, my personality is not that serious, but you have to know that as a lord, and a lord who came out of history books, I always have to consider my own image."
"You guys Humans are really weird, with too many self-limiting rules." Tyr shook his head, his long sea-blue hair wavy like water in the sun, "We sirens never pay attention to these illusory things - we They are a very straightforward race, and all their thoughts and actions are undisguised. Well, in most cases..."
Due to Tyr's strange schedule and lazy attitude, Gawain doesn't have much. He had the opportunity to learn about the deep sea from this siren lady. When he heard the other party take the initiative to mention it, he immediately asked: "Speaking of which, what do you do in your tribe?"
"Me? I'm a Tide Master," Tyr shrugged, "Combatant."
"Tide Master?" Gawain blinked, feeling like he heard a rather remarkable title, "What is this? What kind of position?"
Tiel crossed his arms and put the tip of his tail against his chin as he thought: "According to your human understanding... he is a relatively high-level combat priest, responsible for the battlefield. The kind that creates strategic-level magic effects. If you convert it into your military rank, it should be equivalent to a captain of thousands."
Gawain was really surprised this time: "So you are so powerful. ?”
He originally thought that Tyr, a guy who was just waiting to die and could swim back from the endless sea to the human country, couldn’t be a powerful guy, even if he was thrown into the deep sea. The God of Harmony must be a lonely and homely character, but he never expected that the other party would reveal such a great identity when he opened his mouth - although he was not sure what the role of the Siren's battle priests was in their entire military system. What position, but there is no doubt that Tire is in the upper middle class among her tribe!
emmmmm...I suddenly became a little curious about the social promotion mechanism of those sirens...I am afraid they don't select commanders based on their appetite and walking posture.
“I always feel that there are some bad thoughts going on in your mind,” Tire stared at Gawain’s eyes for a long time, “I’m telling you, don’t look at me, who is usually lazy. But that’s not the case. If there is real danger and there is water around, most of you will run away... and you won’t be able to beat me!”
Gao Wen always felt that the other party had accidentally jumped just now! There were some weird words, but he felt that directly pointing out the words might cause the siren lady to end the conversation immediately, so he simply changed the topic: "You mentioned that you are a battle priest - the word priest is very popular in your language. Does it also belong to a religious vocabulary? You sirens also have your own religion and belief system?"
He remembered that Tyr mentioned before that sirens do not believe in gods.
“If the religion and belief you are talking about is worshiping a specific god like you humans, then we sea monsters do not believe in gods, but we also have our own worship"The object," Till explained, "we worship is the 'spirit' of all the sirens, the 'pan-consciousness' of our race and the entire ocean, which we call 'Eva'." I don’t know if you can understand this symbolic meaning of ‘idolatry’. To us Sirens, Eva is not a god, but she has a status in our society similar to that of your human gods. "
Gawain rubbed his chin: "Worshipping the spirit of the race and worshiping the natural environment are part of the symbol... It's nothing, I can understand it. In fact, this kind of belief also exists on land, on the mainland. The Ogure tribe in the west has a "pan-faith" in all natural things and natural phenomena. Some of them worship their ancestors, some worship thunder and lightning, wind, rocks and plants in nature, and some even worship the fate of birth, old age, illness and death. Wheel', which is related to the multi-racial mixing situation in their country. In addition, today's druids also tend to have pan-beliefs. They worship 'nature' and 'life' rather than exact gods. "
"I do know this - that chewy big white deer is dead," Tire nodded, "But having said that, I think the beliefs and religions of you land people are really It's strange... Your church has changed one after another, and even the entire civilization has changed one after another. Every time the demonic tide comes, the civilization of the land people will be cut off, but no matter how complete the cutoff is, As long as civilization reappears, you will still believe in those gods... They are obviously just a group of powerful creatures that are very chewy, so why are they so attractive to you land people? "
Tear just said it unintentionally, but when Gawain heard her last few words, his heart suddenly jumped——
Every time the demonic tide washes the world again, After the card, the new mortal civilization will establish similar beliefs and religious systems?
