Chapter 464 Black Trap

To be honest, Gawain was really taken aback when Tyre suddenly emerged from the water—a creature like a Kraken seems to be an elemental body in essence, and when this sea caterpillar lurks in the water, it is a little Without any breath, this guy suddenly popped his head out. If there was a brick in Gawain's hand at that time, he should have exhaled by this time...

After calming down, Gawain looked at Tyr who was swimming in the water: "What are you doing soaking in the river so late?"

"I'm not in the river, am I on the bank?" Tyr responded confidently, "I'm a siren, a water element."

"...That makes sense..." Gawain touched his chin, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Wait, if I remember correctly, you should be instructing the workers at the shipyard at this time, right?"

Tyre has now become a ship technical consultant on the territory. Although she will still try to use all possible time to make up for her sleep, according to reports from her subordinates, this sea caterpillar monster was indeed in the shipyard. Serious work.

Like most factories in the territory, the shipyard also implements a three-shift rotation system, and the craftsmen work overtime to repair the ships seized from the nobles of the southern border, in order to cope with the increasing pressure on the river during the large-scale construction of the southern border after the war. , while under the guidance of Tyre, he worked hard to learn the craft of the Kraken and how to build new ships—and at this time, if Gawain remembered correctly, Tyre should be staying at the shipyard...

"Aha... The work scheduled for today is all busy, and now they are testing the strength of several materials, I don't need to watch, and I am not familiar with the materials you land people use," Tyr swam to the shore As she said, the starlight sprinkled on her wet long hair, with a wonderful brilliance, "Then I came out early..."

Gawain was a little speechless for a while: "Isn't this still slipping out..."

"No one found out," Tyre shook his head indifferently, "I secretly ran down the drain pipe..."

Gao Wen: "..."

Did this sea caterpillar really not realize that he was the biggest boss in front of him? This guy told his sneaking in front of him, and he didn't feel any psychological pressure...

Gawain couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about the social form and customs of the Kraken, he squatted down and looked at Tyr who was immersed in the water leisurely: "Are all of you Kraken as heartless and heartless as you are? Yes? Do you usually... have something to worry about?"

"Heartless? I don't think so...but it's probably in your eyes," Tyr slapped his tail vigorously in the water, and jumped out of the water with a clatter.

He patted on the ground beside Gawain like a salted fish, and then patted his tail while saying, "Our race... we can live for a long time, and we have experienced a lot of things. It's really too much to see. So it seems a little different from you. Compared with the siren, even the so-called elves of the long-lived species are a fairly young race... Oh mother, I finally turned it over."

Gawain glanced at the salted fish who had been on the shore for a long time to turn over. He really couldn't see the background and temperament of the so-called "ancient deep-sea race" from such a funny person, but he knew that what Tyr said was all Fact: As an ancient race that has witnessed the rise and fall of civilization season after season on land, this group of deep-sea salted fish is fully qualified 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 any old-fashioned topics with Tyr, but turned his attention to the banks of the White Water River illuminated by the brilliance of the magic spar lamp. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Have lived here for a while? How do you feel about this place?"

"The development is very fast, the order is good, and there are many strange things. Although it is not advanced, your technical route can still give me some inspiration," Tyr supported his body with his fish tail and commented pertinently, " But there are also many hidden dangers, which are basically brought about by the rapid development.”

Gawain looked at Tyr with interest: "What about the specifics?"

"If you don't think it's harsh, I'll tell you," Tyr patted his tail indifferently, "You're so advanced that only a few people really keep up with your pace, the ruling institution you set up More than half of the people in China only know what to do, but don't know why; your population and territory are expanding too fast, and the order in the remote areas will inevitably be chaotic. Until you develop enough administrative staff, this chaos is There is no solution; your army is strong but lacks real tempering, they have not seen enough blood, and more battles are needed; 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 of rapid development to survive will have problems - just from what I can see, there are already so many."

Gawain looked at Tyr with a little surprise: "I didn't expect you to observe so much normally..."

"I'm just lazy, not blind, and I usually read newspapers—although it's a little troublesome to get the newspapers wet all the time," Tyre said, and glanced at Gawain, "but then again... actually You know these hidden dangers yourself."

"Why don't you know," Gawain smiled helplessly, admitting Till's statement calmly, "but there are hidden dangers to develop, and stagnation is not a problem of facing the hidden dangers - that is the collapse of the country and the family. of."

"Anyway, you have built a rock fortress, and you have the foundation to make up for these hidden dangers. As long as you develop and digest safely, these shortcomings will be slowly made up."

Gawain 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, this deep-sea salted fish has been running to several research departments almost every day. For this reason, she has even greatly shortened her sleeping time. Obviously, the arcane energy control technology behind the "Rainbow Cannon" is falling into It is really important for the Krakens who are technical bottlenecks. In the face of racial interests, even Tyr, who is lazy and almost died in place, will become reliable.

"It's good to have this digestion time," Gawain couldn't help but muttered softly, and then asked a question curiously, "Actually, there is one thing I've always been curious about—in the long years of your siren's observation of terrestrial civilization, Season after season of life and death of civilization, is there really no civilization that can resist the tide of magic?"

This question is really important, and Gawain really wants to confirm one thing: Is the magic tide really incomprehensible to mortals?

Since the Siren observed the land, the civilization has risen and fallen for more than ten seasons. Countless intelligent or brave races have been active on this land. Are they all destroyed by the magic tide?

Facing the question raised by Gawain, Tyre rarely showed a hint of hesitation and entanglement.

Gawain captured the subtle changes in Tyre's expression: "Is there any secret?"

"It's not really a secret, but there's one thing we can't confirm," Tyr patted the rock under his body with his fish tail, "I believe you're a rational and calm person—so I'm going to talk to you. Tell me about a phenomenon we have discovered."

Gawain's expression became solemn, and he quietly listened to Tyre's narration.

And Tyr's first sentence made him look surprised: "...In fact, not all civilizations were destroyed by the magic tide - some died before the outbreak of the magic tide for various reasons, while others The... disappeared suddenly after riding the tide. I mean the real big tide."

According to Tyre, there are two kinds of magic tides. The magic tide that the Gondor Empire experienced 700 years ago can only be said to be a small-scale "ripple", and when the real big magic tide came, The whole world will be turned upside down, that is truly irresistible.

So Gao Wen was immediately surprised: "Has anyone successfully survived the great tide of magic?"

"Yes, and there is more than one," Tyr nodded earnestly and said, "They found the protection technology that can resist the magic tide, or found the law of the magic tide's changes, built a safe zone in advance, and even had a race before the magic tide came. After completing the life form transformation of the entire clan, they all survived the arrival of the big magic tide. We used to think that those civilizations were probably all right... But in the end, they suddenly died after the magic tide ended. perished."

"Suddenly perish?" Gawain heard the deep meaning from Tyre's words, "That is to say, you don't know the reason?"

"It looks like a huge war broke out suddenly, but I can't tell who is fighting. Our observers also went ashore to investigate the situation, but found that the storage data of land-based civilizations were basically destroyed. Even if some data were found, the above There are only insane madmen talking. Plus we have observed mass suicides and burials on a massive scale...it's not entirely clear."

Gawain's brows furrowed 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 continent, and even the A war capable of destroying all the nations on the continent...

Although his observations at that time had been severely interrupted, he could not piece together the complete development process from those messy pictures, but the existence of those pictures was enough to prove that what Tyre said was true.

It's not just the magic tide that destroys civilization on the continent.

"Our ability to see on land is limited because we will also be affected to some extent by the tidal wave - the siren won't die when the tidal wave arrives, but our equipment will be greatly disturbed and the ocean itself will become It is very dangerous and difficult to control, so we do not know exactly what happened before and after the magic tide. There is only one thing that can be determined: as long as the civilization on land develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably encounter a catastrophic disaster. There is a bottleneck. Wait there, and this bottleneck... should be after the tide is over."

A bottleneck, an invisible bottleneck, or...a trap.

"It's like a trap, isn't it?" Tyr's voice came from the side, and it hit Gawain's mind. The lady siren propped herself up with her fish tail, raised her head and looked at the starry night sky, " Civilizations are like sailing in a dark sea, we sirens watch from a distance, watching their lights flicker in the dark sea, some of them are swallowed by the storm, some are extinguished before the storm comes. , and those who were lucky enough to make it through the storm zone...they went out all of a sudden before we could go to congratulate. It's a scary world, there seems to be a maelstrom in the dark ocean that is invisible to the naked eye. , would suddenly engulf the careless voyager, so we gave this mysterious and terrifying phenomenon a name—

"We call it the 'black trap', a trap in the dark sea."
