Chapter 750: Deep Sea Intelligence
Cecil Palace, in a special room.
This room is unusually furnished, there is no normal bed and bedding in the room, and the bed is occupied by a large pool half-buried in the center of the room, and next to the pool is a large wooden barrel, which contains white and delicate granules, and around this strange pool and wooden barrel, it is the normal table, chair, furniture, and daily things.
The eerie layout of the room gives the impression that someone has built a pool in the bedroom.
Betty, dressed in a black and white maid dress, was standing by the pool, holding a long-handled wooden spoon in her hand, scooping out some white particles from a nearby wooden bucket and sprinkling them into the pool and stirring them carefully.
Suddenly, the water in the pool rippled strangely, and then the ripples quickly amplified, as if there were sudden wind waves in a windless room, and the pool water rolled up layers of waves, and in the continuous sound of rattling, the churning water continued to condense, and gradually formed a female body with a bewitching snake tail and long blue hair in the center of the pool.
Betty kept her grip on the spoon, blinking at the figure emerging from the pool, and only after the other party was completely solidified did she exclaim slightly, and then bowed vigorously: "Good afternoon, Miss Tyre!" β
Tyr, who successfully completed the resurrection, supported himself with his tail and raised his upper body in the water: "Little Betty! Gawain is not there? β
"Sir...... Ah, Your Majesty is in the study," Betty thought for a moment, correcting her salutation a little with hindsight, "and there are no guests over there now. β
"Oh, okay, I've got something to look for him - you get busy first, I'm leaving!"
Tyr said quickly as she crawled out of the pool, but just as she was about to arch towards the door, she stopped, and the Siren lady noticed the wooden spoon in Betty's hand, so she stirred the water in the pool with the tip of her tail, and after a moment's feeling, waved her hand: "Less salt, not salty enough, add more ......"
As she spoke, she arched quickly towards the door, and soon disappeared in front of Betty.
It may have happened a little quickly, and it took a moment for Betty to react, she looked in the direction Tyre had left, then looked down at the wooden spoon in her hand and the salt bucket at her feet, bent down to lift the bucket, and began to pour salt into the water with a clatter......
Tyr quickly arched into Gawain's study, and the commotion made Gawain, who was reading a book, raise his head.
Seeing Tyr suddenly appearing at the door, Gawain was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but say with a somewhat strange expression: "Someone just reported that you suddenly jumped from the tallest Demon Net Central Tower outside the city, and fell to pieces, all over the ground - is this your newly invented fast home skill?" β
"What do you mean by jumping down, I fell off my tail frozen......" Tyre waved his hand vigorously, but then showed a thoughtful look, "Hey, but what you said makes sense, on such a cold day, if I happen to go out, then it seems that I can really return quickly if I die outside...... Oh no, I'm not here to tell you this! β
"Whatever you say, put the tail in first," Gawain glanced at the long tail behind Tillβthe Siren lady was almost at his desk, but the back half of the tail was still outside the door, swinging restlessly in the hallway, "get in the way outside, and someone will step on you again." β
"Oooh," Tyr agreed, curling her tail back into the room, closing the door with the tip of her tail, and then nodding to Gawain when she had coiled herself up very ladylikely, "I corresponded with Antavien and learned something that might interest you. β
"Can you pique my interest?" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, thought about what kind of intersection he could have with the Kraken Kingdom on the other side of the Endless Sea, and couldn't help but laugh and joke, "In the depths of the Endless Sea, the things that can arouse my interest can be the only thing that the Lord of the Storm has changed, and the Children of the Storm will destroy themselves." β
Tyr nodded, "Yes." β
Gawain: "...... Yes? β
"There may be something wrong with the Storm Child, but we haven't figured out what's going on yet," Tyr didn't seem to notice the wonderful expression on Gawain's face, and just said to himself, "Two days ago, a group of strange amphibious intelligent creatures suddenly appeared on the 'sunny beach' on the west side of the Io continent, and the great witch of the deep Hathaway named them 'Naga', and now, our queen suspects that those 'Naga' may have been mutated from the Storm Child......"
Gawain: "...... Yes? β
"Some of the Storm Sons have been found on those 'Naga', and some Naga are still wearing Storm Child robes." Thiel added.
"Wait a minute, I need to take my time." Gawain rubbed his forehead, he never expected that this deep-sea salted fish would suddenly bring him so much explosive news - this deep-sea visitor seemed to be best at doing things that made him stunned as a traverser, whether it was her sudden death every once in a while or the occasional deep-sea intelligence she brought with her, she could always do it easily.
If Gawain always shocked the world with his forward-looking vision, then Tyr was clearly there to shock Gawain.
After relieving himself, he exhaled and looked at Tyr, "Alright, let's go one by one, first talk about the 'Naga', how they appeared, and then talk about the Children of the Storm......"
Tyr did not hide it, for the strange things that had happened at sea were not classified here, and she told everything she had heard.
ββ¦β¦ They must have taken advantage of the darkness to sneak from the bottom of the sea to the continent of Io. We have surveillance devices in Antavien and several major towns, but those 'naga' seem to have bypassed the surveillance by mistake......
"Those nagas look strange, a bit like a mixture of humans and sea snakes, sea fish, or underage krakens with transformation technology, the great witch initially guesses that they are the result of human mutations, but she can't find out the cause, and there is no trace of the remnants of the curse......
ββ¦β¦ They all seemed excited, as happy as if they had returned home to the continent of Io, but they didn't attack any of the Siren sisters - in fact they showed unusual closeness and obedience to the Sirens - of course, when they were a little calmer and able to communicate simply. Most of the nagas who have just arrived at the beach are in a state where it is difficult to communicate.
ββ¦β¦ According to the few Naga who calmed down and were able to talk, they went on a 'pilgrimage' to the continent of Io because they heard 'Eva's call'. But they don't remember exactly what happened when they were humans, and they can't remember how they mutated into that......
"The Great Witch says that over time, some Naga may become more awake and regain more memories, but it's still ...... for sure"
As he spoke, Tyr raised his hand to summon a water ball, which writhed in the air and gradually coalesced into a vivid "water sculpture" that took on the appearance of the creature known as the Naga.
It seems that Tyr's communication with the Kraken Kingdom through the resonance of the global magic field is not only able to transmit sound, but also images - this image of Naga should be transmitted to her over there.
It would be nice to be able to crack the technology that the Krakens used to establish communication across the Endless Sea with the help of magical ripples......
Gawain's mind flashed with a few divergent thoughts for a moment, and then his attention fell on the water sculpture in mid-air.
Naga's image was even more bizarre than he had imagined, with scales and fins, webbed and gills, with all kinds of distinctive amphibian characteristics, but still maintaining a considerable human body and facial posture, which would probably leave a deep impression on everyone who witnessed it.
Looking at the clear fins and long tail between a sea snake and a sea fish, Gawain exhaled softly: "Very obvious deep-sea features......"
Tyr nodded: "Yes, they have mutated and are fully adapted to survive in the deep sea - the previous Storm Children were not, and although those humans were very good at ocean-related spells, they still had to settle on land." β
Gawain frowned, "Isn't it 100% sure that these Naga were mutated from the Children of the Storm?" β
"Actually, in my opinion, the evidence is quite obvious, but the Great Witch is a scholar, and she and her deep sea witches are rigorous, and it is said that they have not found the key evidence that the Children of the Storm mutated into Naga, nor have they observed the specific process of mutation, so they can't draw conclusions for a while."
"Then let's assume that the Naga were indeed mutated from the Children of the Storm," Gawain said casually, "You just said that some Naga who have calmed down claim to have entered the Siren Realm for pilgrimage?" β
"That's right."
"You also mentioned 'Eva's calling,'......" Gawain frowned, "I've heard you mention the word 'Eva' occasionally, but what does 'Eva's call' mean?" β
"First of all, Eva, this is a term for our Kraken, used to refer to the condensation of consciousness shared by all Krakens on a planet," Tyr said as he pondered his vocabulary in an attempt to make it easier for Gawain to understand the concept, "You may think she's the 'god' of the Kraken, but you know that we don't believe in any specific gods, this Eva...... Think of it as the will of the Kraken. However, according to our theory, the will of Eva should be a virtual, conceptual product, she exists in an invisible way, acts on our race in an abstract way, and there should be no such thing as 'Eva's calling' in theory......"
"But a group of crazy cultists said that they heard the 'Eva's call', and maybe even had an unimaginable mutation due to this summoning, because of this summoning to go on a pilgrimage to the Kraken's realm," Gawain's expression became serious a little, "It shouldn't exist out of thin air, should it?" β
ββ¦β¦ yes, I think so, too, and the queen and the great witch should think the same way," Tyr frowned a little distressedly, "but why don't we krakens themselves feel the so-called 'Eva's call' at all?" β
Gawain looked at the visitor from the deep sea in front of him, but his heart was quickly combining all kinds of information and clues.
First of all, the most important thing to note is the identity of those Storm Children before they became the so-called "Naga".
They are crazy cultists.
Their actions are closely related to the "gods".
Whether they want to disobey the gods like the Society of the End of All Things, or fanatically want to please the gods like normal cultists, their actions are most likely based on "gods."
Well, "Eva's Calling"...... What does it have to do with God? In other words, what does the group of krakens represented by Eva have to do with the gods?
In an instant, Gawain's mind came up with a whole bunch of inconsistencies such as food chain, storm lord sashimi, hungry salted fish essence, food and diners.
He couldn't help but tap his forehead, and after gathering away the words that were running around in his head, it all came down to one thing: the Kraken ate the god of storms.
As a time-traveler who has read all the stories in his previous life, and as a satellite spirit with rich observation, a faint answer soon appeared in his heart.
This answer seems terrifying and bizarre, it seems incredible, but it fits the logic of this world.
The throne of God seems to be usurpable.
The fact that all things dare to create a fake god is enough to show that the position of the so-called god is not as indestructible as mortals think.
Gawain couldn't help but glance at Tyre with a strange look.
Tyr was stunned by this strange gaze, and the tip of his tail stood up and wagged, "Hey, what did you think?" β
"You Siren...... What is the population? Uh, or fish mouth or something......"
Tyr thought for a moment, "Millions, we have the size of the population. β
The corners of Gawain's mouth twitched.
If the situation was really as he imagined, if it was really these deep-sea salted fish who unwittingly usurped the throne of the Lord of the Storm, then this picture was really a little weird.
Will it be the Kraken, with a population of millions, or the Eva who approximates a concept?
If it is the former, then what is the state of a "new storm lord" who needs millions of people to add up to be considered a "god"?
If it's the latter......
So, will the conceptualized Eva become the Lord of the Storm? Where will this newborn god appear, in the real world? The world of the water element? Or is it that mysterious and distant divine realm? He...... Could it be the will of the Krakens?
In any case, there may be hidden secrets of the gods, hidden mysteries of their birth and destruction.
With his mind racing at high speed, Gawain looked at Tyr, who returned a confused gaze while fiddling with the tip of his tail in boredom.
This is really the harmony of the deep sea......
(Oh yes!!) οΌ
