Chapter 243: The Returnee
Gawain brought Tyre here for this.
Although the actual "identification operation" of this seafood was not what he had originally expected, the results were satisfactory.
"This is the same type of creature as the big squid, although their forms are very different," the Kraken sister still retained her basic sanity in front of the food, and somewhat remembered the task given to her by Gawain, so after completing the "identification", she quickly arched back, drooling while reporting, "They have the same high-energy response, and the body tissues remain active after the death of the main body...... Sucks and has a natural attraction to the Kraken, which is an elemental creature...... Suck and also be particularly chewy...... Suck ......"
Gawain felt that he couldn't stand it anymore: "Why don't you suck it first?" β
"No, no," Tyre wiped his mouth vigorously, "I'm reserved." β
After saying this, the salted fish spirit raised his head and tried to shift his attention to the place beyond the "small snack".
She looked at the severely twisted and deformed metal remains floating around the corpse of "Giant Deer Amorn", as an individual from a highly civilized society, she naturally had a different understanding of these wonderful remains.
"This looks like an all-in-one attack," Miss Kraken guessed, "I found large lacerations near the spine of the great white deer, and there were also fragments of metal debris in those wounds, and the two seemed to have collided badly......
"Suicide attack...... Gawain frowned as he looked at the metal and crystals floating around the corpses, thinking about what benefits these things could bring to his territory.
There is no doubt that this is a technological creation far beyond the imagination of today's human beings, but when the generation gap of technology reaches a certain level, the relics of high civilization will lose their research and reference value for low civilizations - as strong as the Gondor Empire back then, in the case of elite gathering, it only roughly imitated the energy reaction on these wrecks, so as to create a protective barrier against the "will of the gods", and they failed to understand any of the technical details in these wreckage, So what can Cecil's collar learn from these wreckage?
I am afraid that it is not even possible to cut these metalsβlike the fragments of the Eternal Tablet, which is believed by all races of the present day to be a creation of the gods, indivisible to mortals except for self-disintegration.
Sitting back and watching Baoshan only return empty-handed, this is probably Gao Wen's mood now.
"If only I were a deep-water technician," Tyr wagged the tip of his tail, as if with some regret, "maybe learn something from these wreckage...... We Krakens have observed every season of civilization on the continent, but have never seen anything like it, these wrecks are really ...... Incredible. β
Tyr looks very scheming and scheming, but she is actually cautious and delicate in her bones, she knows that she is in a strange civilized entity, and as a special individual in this environment, she has controlled her words and deeds and curiosity very well, even if she came to this ancient fortress, saw the corpse of the so-called god, and saw the suspected god-killing weapon, she has not been too out of line, but at this moment, she still can't help but show interest in these wreckage.
"The deep-water technician you call can analyze these wreckage?" Gawain listened to Tyr's words and immediately turned his head and asked, "Can your technology parse this thing?" β
"I'm just saying," Tyre thought for a moment and waved his hand regretfully, "our technology is stuck in a delicate ...... Bottlenecks, deep-water technicians probably can't analyze these things that are completely different from our technical route. β
"Really...... That's a pity. β
Tyr was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in a low voice, "What do you say...... This is what you call a 'god', right? β
"Yes, you should have heard that just now - this is the god of nature."
After staying in human society for such a short period of time, Tyr is no longer as confused about the human religious system and the three views as she was at the beginning, and now she probably understands what the gods that humans believe in, and recently seen the flesh and blood of the gods collected by Gawain, she finally realizes what the "big squid" that she and her sisters usually dig in the deep sea is - but for the kraken who does not believe in gods, the supernatural idols that humans worship are really difficult to resonate with Tyr, Hearing Gawain's affirmative reply, she wanted to express her surprise, but in the end she could only sigh: "Oh, it's quite chewy." β
"I don't know how many believers will be scared half to death by your words," Gawain smiled helplessly, "but then again...... There are probably not many people who still believe in the gods of nature. β
Since the fall of the white star, the demise of the god of nature has become a fact that people do not talk about but know in their hearts, three thousand years have completely destroyed the original druid belief system, and after the only "sacrifice" druid "school of the Holy Spirit" has also degenerated into the end of all things, there are no public believers in the god of nature in this world.
But Gawain was sure that if the secrets of this alien space were revealed, it would still be enough to cause a huge shock to the entire world.
Then, Cecil will be on the cusp.
So he must not let this news leak out, at least now that the territory is still fledgling, he can't let this news leak out casually.
However, Gawain still hoped that he could dig up some things from this "treasure mountain" as much as possible this time and bring them out, so he turned his head to look at Kamal: "Kamal, can you still use the tools you used to cut samples from the corpse of the god and the wreckage around the corpse?" β
Kamal's voice came from the armor piece, "Definitely not going to work, and even if it did, I wouldn't recommend you touch anything here." β
Gao Wen frowned: "Why?" β
"Amon, the deer, is not as 'calm' as you seem," Kamel warned solemnly, "the gods are dead, but the flesh is not dead, he has a pattern of life that humans cannot understand, the corpse in front of you has never stopped regenerating for the past three thousand years, some unknown source has been repairing it, but these steel wreckage entangled with the corpse of the god inhibits this regeneration process, and the two form a delicate balance that can be maintained to this day." We used to collect samples here β from the corpses of gods or from the wreckage β each time at great sacrifice and with great danger, and now ...... We probably can't afford that risk. β
"Regenerative ......"
Gawain muttered to himself, and couldn't help but look at Tyr, who was snorting beside him.
The gods seem to be unkillable, although a long, long time ago there seems to have been a wave of strong open Zenith Star Fleet to kill the gods, but after they left, these dead gods have returned to the gods one after another (anyway, whether they go back or not, there are people on the god seat now who listen to the phone), and the storm lord in the deep sea and the nature god of the shadow world have been unable to return because of accidents, one is the life of being gnawed by people and cannot take care of themselves, and the other is the life of being scared by interstellar car accidents and cannot take care of themselves......
But it seems that as long as these external inhibitions are lifted, they will still come back to life?
Gawain didn't know if the loving, great, and selfless gods that the devout disciples spoke of were really that great, but he judged from the scene of the car accident in front of him that Ammon would probably be very happy if he woke up......
He decided to heed his inner guidance (and Kamel's warning) and let the god of nature continue to sleep quietly in the shadowy realm without touching the wreckage of Ammon and his surroundings without the technical and productive skills to do so.
But the rest of the samples in the fortress that can be used should be packed and taken with them as much as possible - maybe at some point the Might and Magic Gate will be closed again, and those samples that have been handed down from the Starfire Age to the present day will be an irreproducible treasure by then.
"Let's go, we've been in this place long enough," Gawain glanced back at the corpse of the giant deer Ammon, and then took a deep look at the seemingly eternal twisted remains floating around the god corpse, exhaled softly, and then looked at the ancient magus floating in the air not far away, "Kamal, are you ready to return to the human world?" β
The old Magister was silent.
When the day actually came, Kamal found himself completely unprepared.
In the past hundreds of years, he had imagined countless times what it would be like for him to leave this place and return to human society, but he never imagined that this day would actually come, let alone that he would lose the most basic attribute of "human" before this day came.
Hearing Gawain's question, he lowered his head, looked at his completely heterogeneous body, felt the endless flow of magical energy in his body, and suddenly had a trace of retreat and fear.
"This is what it looks like...... Can we return to humanity? β
"The outside world has changed a lot, and it will be challenging for you to return in any form, but in the land I rule, I can at least guarantee that you will be accepted by everyone," Gawain said slowly, "There are already quite a few ...... in my territory Challenging the conventional, my subjects are accustomed to accepting things beyond the three views, and a powerful magus from ancient times will be respected by them. Of course, the premise of all this is that you learn to follow the rules of this era and respect ...... My dominion over the land. β
After a longer silence, the arcane energy in Kamel's body gradually brightened, and he finally broke the silence: "Before accepting this long mission, we all knew that it was a difficult road, but we were willing to give up everything we were born to be for the survival of the race...... Now, perhaps, it's time to renew the vows you made back then.
"Senior Advisor to the Magister of Gondor and Warden of the 'Disobedient' Fortress, Kamal Srayne, will continue to fulfill the oath I made a thousand years ago, and in the name of humanity, I swear allegiance to you, Lord."
