Chapter 209 What Do the Sea Monsters Usually Do
This is the first time Gawain has seen such a solemn and heavy expression on the face of the Siren Tyre. He originally thought that this expression would never appear on the face of this deep-sea saltwater fish that seemed to never wake up. However, it turns out that the other party's laziness is still limited.
And what she said with this expression naturally didn't seem like a joke, Hetty immediately continued to ask: "What do you mean by reshaping the world...?"
"Literally," Tyr shrugged (and the tip of his tail), "the properties of all substances change, some are subtle, barely noticeable by humans, and have no effect on their properties, while others are turned upside down, or even changed. From stone to magical minerals; the magical environment in nature will also change. The original magical power-filled area may become the magical power-depleted area, and the original thin element may become the new gate of the element world, and creatures will be mass extinction and mutation. , new species will also be formed in a short period of time, and most of the creations of civilization will disappear in this earth-shaking change."
"...You are scare people," Amber listened to the siren in a daze, she understood the meaning of every word in the other party's words, but the meaning after the connection was unbelievable. She was stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help shaking her head, "Your statement is almost no different from those cultists who promote the end of the world every day."
Tyr snorted softly: "There is a difference, they only know that the end is coming, but the siren knows how the end will come."
Gawain looked into Tyr's eyes quietly: "Have you experienced a real magic tide?"
"You should know that the siren is a kind of intelligent creature that is far older than the land race. We lived in this world for many years before your civilization learned to start fire," Tyr continued to poke his fork with the tip of his tail. Looking at the bread and potatoes in front of him, he said in a very natural tone, "Of course we have seen some things that you have not seen."
Gawain continued to ask: "If the magic tide is really what you described, how did you survive the real magic tide?"
Rebecca stopped the work she was doing to cut out the slices of bread, and looked up at Gawain in surprise: "Master Ancestor, do you really believe these statements?"
Gao Wen waved his hand: "It's okay to talk about money during the banquet."
"That's right, it's just small talk," Tyr laughed, "The magic tide is really scary, most mortal species can't resist it, but we sirens are a bit special, we are... um, this should be with us It is related to the nature of the elemental creatures. The magic tide has a great influence on the present world, but it cannot change the 'essence' of the elemental field. The life form of the siren is based on elements, and many of our magical powers are also driven by elements, so we have survived to this day. Our civilization has survived to this day. Of course, the influence is still there..."
Tyr stopped after saying this, as if he didn't intend to continue on this topic, just muttered in a low voice: "Every time I have to start all over..."
Heidi and Rebecca looked at each other. The things Tyre said were too unbelievable to them. Sometimes a thing was sensational beyond a certain level, but it wouldn't make people feel real, but Gawain still He followed Tyr's words seriously: "So, the 'magic tide' that occurred on this continent 700 years ago was just a 'small fluctuation'?"
Tyre replied casually: "Probably. After all, I didn't see what happened with my own eyes. I just guessed based on your description."
"Do you know how often the real magic tide comes? How long until the next time?"
"I can't answer you,
Tyre 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. That is to say, even if today is the day when the magic tide erupts in theory, it The real eruption time may also be a day in the next thousand years, who knows. "
The atmosphere during the banquet had become dull without knowing it. Gawain looked at Heidi and Rebecca, who had not used a knife and fork for a long time. He knew that Miss Kraken's undisguised words had caused them a lot of pressure.
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 area in a place like the Dark Mountains in the first place."
"Take what I said as a story," Tyre probably noticed that she had messed up the atmosphere (of course, she might just be too lazy to continue on this topic), she shook her head, "With the average of your human beings Lifespan, you don’t have to worry about this kind of thing that God knows how many generations will take place, look at it, look at it.”
"Let's talk about something more relaxed," Gao Wen also took advantage of the situation to change the topic, "Speaking of you living in the deep sea, what do you usually do?"
"sleep."
Gawain: "...I mean the normal Krakens other than you—and you can't sleep without doing anything every day, right?"
"Then we usually have too many things to do, repair houses, raise jellyfish, hold shape-shifting competitions and so on," Tyre counted with the tip of his tail clenching his fingers, and suddenly became happy at the end, "but it's the most interesting. It's still a matter of digging squid!"
Gao Wen listened with a confused expression: "What the hell is squid digging?"
"It's just digging squid! One of our slices..." Tyr frowned, trying to find a suitable word, "Renewable natural resources?"
Then she waved her tail: "Anyway, it is something that looks a lot like a big squid. It may be the remains of some ancient creature. It is especially huge. It covers an entire seabed. Its tentacles can grow and recover on their own. After digging it up, it will grow back after a while, and the big squid will grow small tentacles to say hello to the siren or dance with it, which is very interesting! We will dig squid every three or five times - ah yes, last time with that Helping mad humans fight because they built a smoky altar above the seabed where we dug squid, and they kept casting spells on the bottom of the sea, messing up our mines, and we sent people to follow. It was useless for them to negotiate, and they finally fought."
This time, even Amber Betty, Rebecca, and the others were confused. In all fairness, from the perspective of a normal human being, it is really impossible to understand what the Kraken is describing!
"The corpse of a huge creature? It's already dead and will continue to regenerate?" Rebecca was stunned for a while, "Then... How many people can you feed it!"
This girl deserves to be born in a poor Viscount. This idea is correct. In fact, when Gawain heard those descriptions, the first thing that came to his mind was eating, but he was more careful than Rebecca's ideas, and immediately realized something. The constantly regenerated flesh and blood of the regiment is probably not a "safety ration" - especially that thing is still from the strange and terrifying deep sea, who knows how many strange things are there?
In fact, in Gawain's eyes, the Kraken is already one of the "weird things"...
Even Amber couldn't help but become interested in the magical daily life of the Kraken, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you guys use to dig squid? Are you really eating it?"
"Uh, in fact, it's mainly used as fuel for the magic reactor, but it can also be eaten..." Tyr's face was a little embarrassed, "The meat of the big squid has very concentrated energy, and the taste is super good. We Doesn't the Kraken have no sense of taste? So the food with rich energy and good taste is our food. It's just that the big squid is usually supplied to the reactor first, and we usually eat a little..."
Gawain continued to be stunned: It can be burned and eaten, what the hell is this! ?
In other words, these deep-sea saltwater fish usually steal fuel from their own homes... Is this TM a kid who steals gasoline?
Sure enough, just as he imagined, there are some strange things in the deep sea.
Later, out of curiosity, Gawain asked Tyre a lot about the "big squid", and the characteristics of the latter were slowly pieced together in everyone's mind:
The remains of an extremely huge ancient creature, the length of a tentacle may reach several kilometers, like a small mountain range.
It has died on the seabed for countless years, but there is no sign of decay, and it even respawns continuously - but every time it just respawns a little, it will be dug up and burned by the siren (and possibly eaten).
Small tentacles sometimes grow on the surface of the tentacles of the giant squid. Those tentacles greet or dance with the Kraken. The Kraken's main evaluation of these tentacles is chewy.
The deep-sea creatures living around the big squid have a strong tendency to attack, and they are also relatively chewy.
The giant squid occasionally attracts some distant sea creatures, causing them to die near the squid tentacles like suicide - and these creatures from other seas are not chewy.
Obviously, Tyre's evaluation criteria for many things in the deep sea are based on "chewy" - I don't know if this is her own habit or the Kraken is like this...
After listening to Tyr's descriptions, Gawain had a doubt in his mind:
These salted fish... what did they find in the sea?
Are they afraid they have dug out an ancient god? !
Gawain's idea of this horror was not an open mind, but the various characteristics described by Tyre really made him think of the flesh and blood of the gods he found in the ruins in the mountains - the gods are dead, but the flesh and blood are not. Corruption is indestructible, and it also affects the minds of other creatures. This feature is too special and distinct, and it is difficult for people not to associate it with each other.
The "big squid" in the deep sea will continue to regenerate, but the flesh and blood of the gods that Gawain found will not. This may be because the crystal cube made by the magisters of Gondor has a certain suppressive effect;
But "big squid" can affect the minds of many creatures, why did it not affect the siren? These sea monsters not only use the "big squid" as fuel, but even as food... So what materials are these salted fish made of?
