The Siren City of Nasaton is a mysterious city completely hidden at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where it has existed for centuries, and its glory is even greater than that of mythology on the surface. No one knew how to get to the city except the Kraken, and neither the advanced detection technology of modern humans nor the powerful alien gods of yesteryear had ever successfully set foot in Nasaton. Some speculate that the entire city is located at the bottom of a deep-sea rift, with pillars of smoke from submarine volcanoes hiding its whereabouts, and others that the Kraken has built a huge invisible barrier over their home to keep outsiders out from prying eyes - but none of these speculations are true.

Nasatone is located on Earth, but not entirely on Earth, it is caught in a spatial rift that intersects with the real world, and the city is invisible or even inaccessible by all means of observation. Only the Krakens have the knack for opening the gates of the city - for the past 10,000 years, only a very limited number of visitors have been allowed into Nasaton, including some heterogeneous scholars, as well as some of the lucky ones among the humans, and those who are fortunate enough to visit Nasaton have often passed down a few stories about the miraculous city to later generations.

It's just that the stories they have handed down will basically be regarded as dreams, and eventually presented to future generations in the form of myths, legends and folk tales.

"In the cracks of space?" After hearing Shakira's description, Vivien was intrigued, "How did you build that kind of thing?" It took many generations for the Athenian sanctuary to build a similar shadow city, and it left a hole that could be breached. How did Nasaton manage to be completely hidden? ”

"I don't know," Shakira shrugged, "from the moment I was born." Overhead was the blue water dome, and the whole city seemed to lie in a spatial crack in that state from the beginning, and no one had ever talked about who the original builder of the city was, and few people would take the initiative to ask about it. ”

Hao Ren tilted his head slightly while driving: "I ask something, it may be a little offended - isn't the Kraken immortal?" Isn't there an old man in the city who has lived from the beginning of the city to the present? They should know who built the city, right? ”

"The Kraken is indeed immortal, but we will actively choose 'circulation' at the right time to return to the water body to complete the rebirth." Shakira vaguely mentioned the Kraken's life cycle, then shook her head, "There are indeed elders like that. Although the number is small, it does. It's just that they never talk about the origins of the city - one of the rules of Nasaton is not to talk about the past, we obey the commandments and live in peace. Don't bother anyone and don't be bothered by anyone. And so on and so on for a long time, as if the city were eternal...... Until the queen ordered people to go ashore. ”

"You occasionally let outsiders visit your city?" Elizabeth leaned on the back of Shakira's chair and rubbed her head vigorously, "Do you usually know the outside world?" ”

"Very few, but as I said, there are exceptions," Shakira nodded slightly, "We are also curious about the outside world, so we occasionally communicate with the surface. In the past, we would send a few sentinels to the surface every few hundred years to travel to the surface to gain knowledge. The Sentinels used the Deepwater Orb to record the situation of the outside world and brought it back to everyone to see, in ancient times...... This is what you call the age of mythology. We also made a brief alliance with some of the alien clans near the sea, but they all died out soon. ”

Vivien smiled, "What do you think of the surface world?" ”

"In the early days, the surface world was a bit boring, a lot of things changed very slowly, people have been using bronze for thousands of years, we changed two groups of sentinels to see them change from bronze to iron, and the great families that called themselves gods changed even slower than humans, and many times our sentinels came ashore after a thousand years, and they still relied on watching humans fight and fight wild beasts to kill time. However, the changes in the surface world have accelerated, the end of the Age of Mythology has exceeded everyone's expectations, the rate of the rise of witchers and humans has far exceeded the speed of the collapse of the Age of Mythology, and every time a sentinel comes ashore, he will see a new kingdom of mankind, and the spokesperson of the surface world is changing all the time, and then there are machines and industrial ...... Although it is still not as great as Nasaton, the skill that humans have shown in the last hundred years is truly amazing. ”

Vivien nodded sympathetically: "Yes, I think so too - the world is really changing faster and faster, I used to wake up in my sleep and humans should use bronze or bronze, iron or iron, but then I woke up they changed from a windmill to a steam engine, and then a little nap began to electrify." Now I don't even dare to sleep, for fear that I will accidentally oversleep and wake up to find that there are no people on the earth, and there are only a few transmission towers standing there, and all mankind has emigrated to Sagittarius. ”

Hao Ren listened to Coke: "Look at what you said, it's so exaggerated." ”

Vivien snorted: "You can't empathize, but I'm telling you that it's all true, and it's really not good to sleep lazy - I used to know a blood clan named Audrian, who was also a fierce general who survived to modern times after the collapse of mythology, he once got an ancient treasure, and then prepared to retreat and sleep to absorb power, but he died of sleep." ”

Lily was shocked: "How can you sleep and still sleep to death?" ”

Vivian shrugged: "He went to Novaya Zemlya in 1950 to dig a pit and fell asleep, and the Soviets threw more than 200 nuclear bombs there for more than 40 years, no one knows which explosion the unlucky thing finished playing, I guess he died completely the first time, anyway, I haven't seen him since then, he should be dead to ashes." ”

Hao Ren's face was in cold sweat: "......"

"So it's best not to do this kind of thing after picking up the treasure and practicing in retreat for hundreds of years," Vivien sighed, "It's okay in the era of peace or the slow-paced era before, but now it's just looking for death." The speed of human development is like a drug, and in just a few years, they have evolved from queuing up to shoot to intercontinental missiles, if you really find a place to retreat and practice for hundreds of years, maybe the earth will be bombed by humans when you are in retreat. With the human being capable of death, I don't wonder when they blew up the Earth - so the smartest thing about the current outliers is to stare at the newspapers, ready to follow the army out at any time...... Why don't you speak? ”

Hao Ren patted Vivian on the shoulder: "I think it's best to find a way to cure your narcolepsy if you have a chance." ”

Shakira next to her kept silent, as a kraken who had only glanced at the surface for hundreds of years, she was embarrassed to say anything at this time.

Later in the day, the team arrived at their scheduled exit point. It's a desolate, gravelly pristine beach, far from the city and the road, and human development has yet to take place, so there's no need to worry about unwanted attention from the paranormal here. There are some steep granite walls along the coastline, and the layers of impact marks on the rock walls record the changes of time here. Seeing the sight here, Shakira couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I remember that when I first came ashore a hundred years ago, there were many coastlines like this...... The place where I landed was a cliff similar to this one. But now it's becoming more and more troublesome to find a place where no one is paying attention to swim in the sea. ”

Hao Ren put away the car, stretched his arms and breathed deeply towards the sea, the open ocean scenery here made people feel happy, and the cool sea breeze with a slightly fishy smell was also very pleasant. Nangong May was doing the same stretching posture next to him, but there was still a little uneasiness in the excitement on his face.

Hao Ren keenly noticed this: "Nervous? ”

"It's timid," Nangong May smiled, "My mother has kept me away from the deep sea since I was a child, and I'm afraid it was really she who foresaw Nasaton's change from the beginning. But now I'm finally going to break my mother's admonition...... Hope she doesn't blame me. ”

Hao Ren smiled: "She's just worried about your accident, if we guarantee your safety, then your mother won't blame anyone." ”

Feeling a little uneasy after getting out of the car, she crouched down close to Vivien's feet, stared at the vast sea with wide eyes, and meowed softly and nervously: This was the first time she had seen the sea.

"Hurry up, we'll be the first island to rest before nightfall, and if you're not tired we can go straight to the center of the Pacific without stopping," Shakira squinted as she felt the message from the sea breeze, "It's a good day to travel to the sea." ”

As she spoke, a layer of water rippled around Shakira, and she was about to change her form and send everyone into the sea, but at this moment, the number of terminals suddenly burst out of Hao Ren's pocket: "Wait! There's a spatial anomaly - someone has teleported over! ”

Vivien immediately frowned, and she read the familiar frequencies of magic from the turbulence of the space around her.

"Be vigilant, it's the witcher!"

(Ask for a monthly pass in a pinch!) Look at it and forget it! (To be continued......)
