Nasathorn, the Siren City, is a mysterious city completely hidden on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It already existed here countless centuries ago. The glory of that city was even earlier than the mythical age on the surface. No one knows how to get to that city except the Kraken. Neither the advanced detection technology of modern humans nor the powerful alien gods of the past have ever successfully set foot in Nasathorn. Some speculate that the entire city is located at the bottom of a deep sea fissure, concealed by smoke columns from undersea volcanoes, and others speculate that the sirens have built huge invisible barriers over their homes to keep outsiders from prying eyes-but in fact these None of the guesses were correct.
Nasathorn is located on the earth, but it is not entirely located on the earth. It is sandwiched in a space crack that meets the real world. The closure of the space curvature makes this city invisible to all observation methods, and it is even impossible to see it at all. arrival. Only the Krakens have the knack of opening the gates of the city—for the past ten thousand years, only a very limited number of visitors have been allowed into Narzaton, including certain alien scholars, and some lucky ones among humans, and those Those lucky enough to visit Naxathorn often left behind a few words about this marvelous city.
It's just that the stories they handed down are basically regarded as sleepwalking, and finally presented to future generations in the form of myths, legends and folk tales.
"In the crevice of space?" After hearing Shaqila's description, Vivian was very interested, "How did you build that kind of thing? It took many generations of people in the Athens Sanctuary to build a similar shadow The city, but also left a loophole that can be breached, how did Nasathorn completely hide?"
"I don't know about that," Shakira shrugged, "Since I was born, there is a blue water dome above my head, and the whole city seems to have been lying in the crack of space in that state from the very beginning, no one talked about it Who was the original builder of the city, and few people would take the initiative to ask this.”
Hao Ren turned his head slightly while driving: "I'm asking, it might be a bit offensive—isn't the sea monster immortal? Are there no old people in the city who have lived since the beginning of the city's construction? They should know who the city is. Made it?"
"The sea monster is indeed immortal. But we will actively choose to 'recycle' at the right time and return to the water body to complete a new life." Shakira vaguely mentioned the life cycle of the sea monster, then shook her head, "There is indeed such a thing. Although the number of elders is small, there are indeed. It’s just that they never talk about the origin of the city—one of Nasathorn’s rules is not to talk about the past. We abide by the commandments and live in peace. Disturbing and being disturbed by no one, and so on for a long time, as if the city were eternal...until the Queen orders people to go ashore."
"Do you occasionally let outsiders visit your city?" Elizabeth lay on the back of Shakira's seat and stretched her head vigorously. "Do you usually know the outside world?"
"Rarely, but as I said just now, there are indeed special cases," Shakira nodded slightly. "We are also curious about the outside world, so we communicate with the surface occasionally. In the past, we would Send a few sentinels to the surface to travel to increase knowledge. The sentries used deep water orbs to record the situation in the outside world and brought them back for everyone to see. In ancient times...that is, the age of myths you said, we also established a short-term relationship with some alien families near the sea. Covenant. But soon they all perished."
Vivian smiled: "What do you think about the surface world?"
"In the early days, the surface world was kind of boring. Many things changed very slowly. People have been using bronze for thousands of years. We changed two batches of Sentinels before we saw them switch from bronze to iron, and Those big families who call themselves gods are even slower to change than humans. Many times our sentries go ashore after a thousand years, and they still pass the time by watching humans fight and fight with wild beasts. But then the changes in the surface world accelerated. Well, the end of the Age of Myths is beyond everyone's expectations. The rise of demon hunters and humans far exceeds the speed of the collapse of the Age of Myths. Every time a sentinel goes ashore, a new human kingdom will be seen. The spokesperson of the surface world is always there Change, and then machines and industry...Although it is still not as great as Nasathorn. But the skills that humans have shown in the past hundred years are really amazing."
Vivienne nodded sympathetically: "Yeah, I think so too—the world is really changing faster and faster. I used to wake up from a sleep. Should humans use bronze or bronze, iron or iron, but later As soon as I woke up, they changed from a windmill to a steam engine, and then they began to electrify after a little nap. Now I dare not sleep, for fear that if I accidentally oversleep and wake up, I will find that there are no people left on the earth. A launch tower stands there, and all of humanity has migrated to Sagittarius."
Hao Ren listened to Coke: "Look at what you said, it's not that exaggerated."
Vivian snorted: "You can't empathize with me, but let me tell you that it's all true, and it's no good to sleep late—I used to know a vampire named Audrian, who survived the collapse of the myth." He was a fierce general in modern times, he got an ancient treasure once, and then he was going to retreat and sleep to absorb power, but he fell asleep directly."
Lily was shocked: "How can you sleep to death?"
Vivian shrugged: "In 1950, he went to Xindi Island to dig a hole and fell asleep. In the next 40 years, the Soviets dropped more than 200 nuclear bombs there. No one knows where the unlucky guy is. I finished playing during the second explosion, so I guess he was completely dead the first time, anyway, I have never seen him since then, so he should be dead."
Hao Ren's face was covered with cold sweat: "..."
"So it's better not to do such things as retreating for hundreds of years after picking up the treasure," Vivienne sighed, "It's okay in the peaceful era or the slow-paced era before, but doing it now is courting death. The speed of development is like taking medicine. In just a few years, they have evolved from queuing and shooting to intercontinental missiles. If you really find a place to retreat and practice for hundreds of years, the earth may be blown up by humans while you are retreating. With this death-death ability, I don’t wonder when they blow up the earth—so the smartest contemporary aliens are staring at the news and newspapers, ready to evacuate with the big troops at any time... Why don’t you talk?"
Hao Ren patted Vivian on the shoulder: "I think the most important thing is to find a way to cure your narcolepsy if there is a chance."
Shakira next to her kept a blank face and said nothing. As a siren who only glanced at the surface of the earth for hundreds of years, she was embarrassed to say anything at this time.
Later in the day, the team arrived at the scheduled departure point. This is a desolate and pristine beach full of gravel, far away from the city and highways, human development has not yet started, so don't worry about causing supernatural phenomena here and attracting unnecessary attention. There are some steep granite walls beside the coastline, and the layers of impact marks on the rock walls record the changes of time here. Seeing the scene here, Shaqila couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "I remember that when I first landed a hundred years ago, there were still many coastlines like this... Where I landed, there was a cliff similar to this one. But now Finding places to swim in the sea where no one is paying attention has become more and more troublesome."
Hao Ren put away the car, stretched his arms facing the sea and took a deep breath. The open ocean scenery here makes people feel happy, and the cool sea breeze with a slight fishy smell is also very pleasant. Nangong Wuyue was doing the same stretching posture beside him, with a happy expression on her face, but still a little uneasy.
Hao Ren noticed this keenly: "A little nervous?"
"Being close to the hometown is timid," Nangong Wuyue smiled, "My mother kept me away from the deep sea since I was a child. I am afraid that she really foresaw the change in Nasathorn from the very beginning. But now I am finally going to break my mother's will." Admonition... I hope she won't blame me."
Hao Ren smiled: "She's just worried that something will happen to you. If we guarantee your safety, then your mother won't blame anyone."
"Roll" felt a little uneasy after getting off the car. She squatted down close to Vivienne's feet, stared at the vast sea with wide eyes, and meowed softly and nervously: This is the first time she saw to the sea.
"Hurry up, we can reach the first resting island before nightfall. Of course, if you are not tired, we can go directly to the center of the Pacific Ocean without stopping," Shakira narrowed her eyes and felt the sea breeze. message, "Today is a good day for a sea trip."
As she spoke, a layer of water rippled around Shaqila, and she was about to change her shape and send everyone into the sea, but at this moment, a data terminal suddenly popped out of Hao Ren's pocket: "Wait a minute! There is a space anomaly —Someone sent it over!"
Vivienne immediately frowned, and she read the familiar magic frequency from the turmoil in the surrounding space.
"Be vigilant, it's a demon hunter!"
