Chapter 210 The Way Out in the Magic Tide

Siren is a race full of mysteries, not only because they live in the deep sea far away from 6 places and have a physical distance from surface creatures, but also because they seem to have a different way of thinking and worldview, which leads to their There may be a huge difference between what you describe and what you really know—for example, when humans classify monsters in the deep sea according to their magic power levels and attack attributes, what the sea-monsters bring out is not. It's a chewy list, and this tm can't communicate at all.

Therefore, Gawain was not at all sure what the "big squid" dug by the sea monsters in the deep sea was. Whether or not it is… that will have to wait until he sees it with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, there is no chance to go to the deep sea at present.

After dinner, Tyre stretched a lot. The deep-water creatures who were ready to hibernate at this moment seemed to have no concept of walking after a meal. Answering a bunch of questions from Gawain during the banquet made her yawn. Miss Yao untied her coiled tail, waved to everyone and said that she was going to go back to paralysis, and then climbed out of the restaurant one by one.

The crawling posture is still so embarrassing...

Betty got up to clean up the tableware, Rebecca returned to her room with a lot of rune substrates and scrolls, and then proceeded to calculate, Amber rolled into the shadows as soon as she was full and didn't know what to do, and soon the restaurant was full of only people. Gawain and Hetty were left.

Gawain could see that Heidi had something on his mind, so he took the initiative to ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"Ancestor, do you believe what that siren said?"

Gao Wen first asked the other party, "What do you mean?"

"In the legends, all things from the deep sea have the characteristics of demagogic, seductive and frantic, and even sailors said that as long as the ship left the sea, they would hear the song of the siren on a windless night," Hetty said of herself. From the knowledge from the books, "The song will lure ships into eddies and reef areas, and even drag people into nightmares, leaving only empty and broken ghost ships drifting on the sea."

"But you obviously don't believe the legends,

Gawain glanced at Hetty with a smile, "and the superstitions of those sailors are even more ridiculous—seven hundred years ago, how many ships have actually been to the high seas and come back alive? Where did those sailors get a lot of 'seeing with their own eyes'. "

Heidi shook his head gently: "The legend is indeed absurd and uninhibited, but what Tyre said is indeed sensational and shakes people's hearts."

"You mean the part about the 'real tide'," Gawain knew what Hetty meant. "To be honest, I'd rather believe it's true."

Heidi frowned: "Is it because of those minerals found in the Dark Mountains recently?"

"Hom Rough Stone was formed in the magic tide - and what we can't be sure of is that what substance will disappear in the process of the magic tide," Gawain said quietly, "The mutation in the Dark Mountains is visible to everyone with their own eyes, In the wasteland of Gondor back then... we also saw countless things whose nature was changed by the influence of the magic tide. A large number of new magic materials may be a wealth, but if this phenomenon occurs all over the world, it will be very important to mortals. Civilization is a disaster, can you imagine the consequences if all the universal magic materials known to mankind suddenly change their properties overnight or even disappear out of thin air?"

"Even the Temple of the Stars of the Elves will fall," Heidi shook his head with a wry smile, but then added, "But there are still iron ore in the dark mountains, there are still building stones, giant wood is still giant wood, quartz sand It’s still quartz sand…”

"This is the last bit of goodwill left by the world to mortals. Not 100% of the substances will change in the magic tide. Now it seems that the most basic substances with low magic sensitivity are the least affected by the magic tide, and Even the magic-inducing materials that will be affected are not 100% converted - but no one can tell if this will still be the case when the 'real magic tide' explodes. And even if the material affected by the magic tide is only 100% Ten out of ten, this is enough to destroy the foundation of mortal civilization: those magic circles in operation, magic wells around the world, mage towers, those magic materials that have been installed into magic devices, once they are in the process of operation. Tide influence..."

Gawain didn't say the last sentence, but Hetty and he both understood what it would be like: the mortal civilization really exploded in an instant, spiraling into the sky...

It is not unreasonable that the mighty and incomparably powerful Empire of Gondor persisted in the tide of magic for only a month and then vanished into ashes.

This is a despairing future. If the true power of the magic tide is really as described by Tyre and imagined by Gawain, then the mortal civilization at this stage cannot think of any self-help method, even if Gawain has two lifetimes and millions of people. With the addition of years of satellite experience, he can't imagine how to fight against the tide of magic with today's human civilization - the foundation of the material world will be shaken, and the world is so "changeable", who can think of this?

But...is there really no way?

For some reason, Gawain suddenly thought of the sentence he saw in the laboratory of the ruins in the mountains:

Humans will live forever, even if they disobey the gods.

Could it be that those Gondor magisters were not studying the method of immortality, but trying to find a way to fight the tide by studying the power of the gods? In the age of sparks a thousand years ago, the magisters of Gondor already knew that the tide was coming?

That's why they say "human beings will live forever", not "xx will live forever" - the latter is the immortality of an individual, but the former may refer to the survival of the entire race and civilization!

But in the tide of magic seven hundred years ago (in Tyre's mouth, it was just a "little tide"), the Gondor Empire only lasted for a month.

Did their research in the Spark Age fail? give up? Wrong way? Or... the situation is not what I imagined at all, and the research project of the ruins in the mountains has nothing to do with the magic tide?

The thoughts in Gawain's mind turned sharply, and he thought of the "big squid" that the Kraken excavated at the bottom of the sea.

According to the information disclosed by Tyre, the big squid died on the seabed before the siren civilization appeared. That is to say, the thing that is suspected to be the relic of the gods has experienced several magical tides in the deep sea, but it never seems to be affected. ...

Krakens are also not affected by the magic tide, or the impact is limited - although their civilization seems to have suffered some shocks, at least they still continue...

"Ancestor?" Seeing that Gao Wen didn't speak for a long time, Heidi couldn't help breaking the silence, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering if there is a way for mortals to survive in the face of the demonic tide," Gawain said slowly, "Although there is no clear evidence, I think there is a way out, either in the gods or in the way of the elements. "

"A priest and an elemental mage?"

"No, you are only talking about two spellcasting professions, they are users of power, but I think the way out should be the essence of power, or... the essence of our material world."

Seeing Heidi pondering with this sentence, Gawain couldn't help laughing: "It's too early to think about this, with our current strength, even with the current level of the entire mortal world, we are not qualified to think about this. Question, instead of thinking about these things, let's go back and take a rest, and then think about how to organize the selection of personnel in two days."

Yes, now is not the time to think about it, at least not for Hetty to think about it.

Gawain comforted Heidi and asked her to go back to her room to rest. At the same time, he was also concentrating in his mind, calling for the monitoring satellites in space.

The "magic power imaging top view" like a thermal imaging map appeared in his mind. With his current location as the center, the surrounding magic power distribution map and the topographic map within a range of hundreds of kilometers were combined in a superimposed manner, creating a dense magical power atmosphere. Floating and changing on the top view, and several recent giant planet monitoring information jumped into my mind:

"The energy level of the giant planet has dropped and it has entered a state of low alert.

"The energy level of the giant planet has dropped to a low level, confirming that the giant planet has entered a quiet period, and the alert has been lifted.

"Each system enters low power self-test mode."

At least, there is no sign of the magic tide breaking out for the time being.

At the same time, the western border of Anzu Kingdom, the border of the Duchy of Franklin, and the junction of Mosswood Forest.

The Ogure tribal country adjacent to Ansu is a loosely-structured alliance kingdom. Seven hundred years ago, the human pioneering force entered this land covered by mountains and dense forests and chose to live peacefully with the local forces. By concluding contracts and drawing alliances, it has gained a firm foothold in the western part of the Big Six. After seven hundred years of integration and evolution, many races originally in this land have been combined into a new force with more than a dozen wisdom. Races live here for a long time, and Eldar, Grey Elves, Goblins, Orcs and Humans are the most powerful and powerful races. The original hereditary habitats of these races are their respective main cities. The ruling structure of the "Wang Council", they jointly govern this vast country.

Unlike Typhon, who is now on the same level as Ansu, the Ogure tribe has always maintained good diplomatic relations with Ansu for seven hundred years. The Franklin family in the western border of Ansu contributed to this : This calculating and business-savvy family has always been happy to deal with the races in the mountains and dense forests, and has a long-term trade relationship with the gray elves, and at the border of the "Mossy Woods", the main inhabited area of ​​the gray elves, the Franklin family also established A large trading market town and several specialized settlements to facilitate business travel - although they have used various means to amass wealth in the process, and have even come up with forcing merchants to exchange one-third of their wealth for Franklin silver coins , and the "decree" that must be settled in Franklin silver coins to walk in the territory, but compared with the nobles in other areas who directly dig holes on the road to loot traders and hire robbers to directly rob the market, the Franklin family is already rare. wise man.

But today, the wise Duke of Franklin encountered trouble.

The trade market town "Jinlin Town" on the edge of the Mosswood Forest.

The flaming torches illuminated the night, and a large group of soldiers blocked all the traffic arteries around the market town and surrounded the largest commercial building in the town.
