To be honest, Gawain was taken aback when Tyr suddenly emerged from the water. The sea monster seems to be an elemental body in essence. When the sea caterpillar was hiding in the water, there was no breath No, this guy popped up all of a sudden, and if Gao Wen had a brick in his hand, he should have called up by now...
After gathering his mind, Gawain looked at Tyre who was swimming in the water: "What are you doing in the river so late?"
"I'm not in the river, am I on the shore?" Tyre responded confidently, "I'm a siren, a water element."
"... That makes sense..." Gao Wen stroked his chin, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait, if I remember correctly, you should be instructing the workers at the shipyard right now?"
Till has now become a ship technical consultant in the territory. Although she will still try to catch up on sleep, according to reports from her subordinates, this sea caterpillar was indeed in the shipyard when she was in the shipyard. Serious work.
Like most of the factories in the territory, the shipyard also implemented a three-shift rotation system. The craftsmen worked overtime to repair the ships seized from the nobles of the southern border to cope with the increasing pressure on river transportation during the large-scale construction of the southern border after the war. At the same time, under the guidance of Tire, he worked hard to learn the technology of Kraken's aircraft, and studied how to manufacture new ships. At this time, if Gawain remembers correctly, Tire should be staying in the shipyard...
"Aha... I'm done with the scheduled work today, and now they're testing the strength of several materials. I don't need to watch from the side, and I'm not familiar with the materials you land people use," Till said as he swam to the shore. Said, Xinghui sprinkled on her wet long hair, with a layer of wonderful brilliance, "Then I came out early..."
Gao Wen was a little speechless for a while: "Isn't this still slipping out..."
"No one noticed." Tyr shook his head indifferently, "I secretly flowed out of the drain..."
Gao Wen: "..."
Did this sea caterpillar really not realize that he was facing the biggest boss? This guy told him about his sneaking experience in front of him without any psychological pressure at all...
Gao Wen couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about the social form and customs of the sea monsters. He squatted down and looked at Tyre, who was soaking in the water leisurely: "Aren't all of you sea monsters as heartless as you?" What? Do you usually... have anything to worry about?"
"Heartless? I don't think so...but it probably looks like this to you," Tire slapped his tail vigorously in the water, jumped out of the water with a splash, and slapped beside Gawain like a salted fish On the ground, he patted his tail and said, "Our race... can live for a long time and have experienced many things. I have seen too much, so it seems a little different from you. And Compared with sea monsters, even your so-called immortal elves are a very young race... Oh my god, it's finally turned over."
Gawain glanced at the salted fish who had been slapping on the shore for a long time before turning over. He really couldn't see the background and temperament of the so-called "deep-sea ancient race" from such a funny person, but he knew that what Tyre was talking about was Fact: As an ancient race that has witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations on land season after season, this group of deep-sea salted fish has sufficient qualifications to regard any species on land as a "child".
At this point, I am afraid that only the satellite essence of his body can compete with the deep-sea salted fish.
But he didn't intend to discuss the topic of ancient qualifications with Tire, but turned his attention to the banks of the Baishui River illuminated by the brilliance of the magic spar lamp. After a moment of silence, he asked: "I have lived here for a long time. What do you think of this place?"
"The development is fast, the order is good, and there are many weird things. Although it is not advanced, your technical route can still give me some inspiration." Till propped up his body with his fish tail, and commented very pertinently, " It’s just that there are many hidden dangers, which are basically brought about by too fast development.”
Gawain looked at Tyre with great interest: "What's the specifics?"
"If you don't find it harsh, I'll tell you," Tyr patted his tail indifferently, "You are so far ahead that only a few people have really kept up with you. The ruling body you formed More than half of the people in the middle school only know what to do, but they don't know why to do it; your population and territory expand too fast, and the order in the remote areas will inevitably be chaotic. There is no solution; your army is strong but lacks real tempering, they haven’t seen enough blood, and they need more battle tests; your territory is developing extremely fast, but it will always slow down one day, once it slows down , Those industries that rely on the dividends brought by rapid development to survive will have problems, as far as I can see, there are already so many."
Gawain looked at Tire with a little surprise: "I didn't expect you to observe so much..."
"I'm just lazy, not blind, and I usually read the newspaper, although it's a bit troublesome to always get the newspaper wet," Till said, and glanced at Gawain, "but then again... In fact, these hidden dangers you You know it yourself."
"Why don't you know?" Gawain smiled helplessly, and frankly admitted Tyre's statement, "But if there are hidden dangers, you have to develop. If you stagnate, it's not a matter of facing hidden dangers, it will ruin the country and the family. "
"Anyway, you have already built the rock fortress, so you have the foundation to make up for these hidden dangers. As long as you develop and digest in a safe and stable manner, these shortcomings will be gradually repaired."
Gao Wen didn't expect that this deep-sea salted fish would analyze a matter so seriously, and discuss it with himself so seriously, but he also knew that this was Tyre's way of showing "sincerity" recently For a long time, this deep-sea salted fish has been going to several research departments almost every day. For this reason, she even greatly reduced her sleeping time. Obviously, the arcane energy control technology behind the "Rainbow Cannon" is falling into a technical bottleneck It is really important to the sea-monsters. When facing racial interests, even Tire, who is lazy and almost died on the spot, will become reliable.
"It would be nice to have this time to digest," Gawain couldn't help muttering softly, and then asked a question curiously, "Actually, there is one thing that I've always been curious about. During the long years you sea monsters have been observing land civilizations, what happened one season after another? The life and death of civilizations in a season is flickering, is it true that no civilization can resist the tide of demons?"
This question is really important, Gao Wen really wants to confirm one thing: Is the magic tide really incomprehensible to mortals
From the sea monster's observation of the land to the present, there have been more than ten seasons of civilization rise and fall, and countless intelligent or brave races have been active on this land. Could it be that they were all destroyed by the demon tide
Facing the question raised by Gao Wen, Tyre showed a rare look of hesitation and entanglement.
Gawain caught the slight change in Tyre's expression: "Is there something hidden?"
"Actually, it's not a secret, but there's something we can't prove yet," Till patted the rock under his body with his fishtail, "I believe you are a rational and calm person, so I plan to tell you about it." It's something we've seen before."
Gawain's expression became solemn, and he quietly listened to Tyre's narration.
And Tyre's first sentence made him look surprised: "...in fact, not all civilizations are destroyed by the demonic tide, some of them destroyed themselves for various reasons before the demonic tide broke out, and some... are It disappeared suddenly after carrying the demon tide. I mean the real big demon tide."
According to Tyre, there are two kinds of demonic tides. The demonic tide experienced by the Gondor Empire seven hundred years ago can only be said to be a small-scale "ripple", and when the real big demonic tide arrives, The whole world is going to be turned upside down, and that's what's truly irresistible.
So Gao Wen was immediately surprised: "Is there anyone who has successfully overcome the great demon tide?"
"Yes, and more than one," Tyr nodded seriously, "They have found a protective technology that can resist the magic tide, or they have found the law of the magic tide, built a safety zone in advance, and there is even a race before the arrival of the magic tide." Completed the transformation of the life form of the whole family, they all survived the arrival of the great evil tide, we used to think that those civilizations were probably fine... But in the end, they suddenly perished after the evil tide ended gone."
"Sudden death?" Gawain heard the deep meaning from Tyre's words, "That is to say, you don't know the reason?"
"It seems that a large-scale war broke out suddenly, but we can't tell who it is fighting with. Our observers also went ashore to investigate the situation, but found that the storage data of land civilizations were basically destroyed. Even if some data were found, the above There are only insane lunatics talking wildly. In addition, we have also observed large-scale mass suicides and burials... It is completely unclear."
Gao Wen frowned tightly. This situation was something he had never thought of before, but he still vaguely remembered... When he was hanging in the sky as a satellite spirit, he did observe the flames of war spreading across the entire continent, even enough to A war to destroy all countries on the continent...
Although his observations had been severely interrupted at that time, and it was impossible to piece together a complete development process from those messy pictures, the existence of those pictures was enough to prove that what Tyre said was true.
It wasn't just the demon tide that destroyed the civilization on the mainland.
"Our ability to observe on land is limited, because we will also be affected by the magic tide to a certain extent. The sea monster will not die when the magic tide arrives, but our equipment will be greatly disturbed, and the ocean itself will become very dangerous , is difficult to control, so we don't know exactly what happened before and after the demon tide. There is only one thing that can be determined: it seems that as long as the civilization on land develops to a certain level, it will inevitably encounter extinction disasters, and there is a bottleneck waiting There, and this bottleneck... should appear after the end of the magic tide."
A bottleneck, an invisible bottleneck, or... a trap.
"It's like a trap, isn't it?" Tyre's voice came from the side, hitting what Gawain was thinking. The siren lady propped herself up on her fish tail, and looked up at the night sky full of stars, " Civilizations seem to be sailing in a dark ocean. We sea monsters watched from afar, watching their lights flickering in the dark sea. Some of them were swallowed by the storm, and some were extinguished before the storm came. And those who were lucky enough to pass through the storm area... before we went to congratulate them, they also suddenly went out. This is really a terrifying world. In the dark ocean, there seems to be a maelstrom invisible to the naked eye. will suddenly engulf unwary voyagers, so we have a name for this mysterious and terrifying phenomenon
"We call it the 'black trap', a trap in the dark sea."
