To be honest, Gwen was taken aback when Tyre suddenly emerged from the water. Sirens were essentially elementals. When the sea caterpillar monster was in the water, it had no breath at all. If Gwen had a brick in his hand, he would have thrown it at it.
After calming himself down, Gwen looked at Tyre, who was swimming in the water. "What are you doing in the river so late at night?"
"If I'm not in the river, then should I be on the shore?" Tyre replied matter-of-factly. "I'm a siren, a water elemental."
"… That makes sense …" Gwen touched his chin, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Wait, if I remember correctly, you should be guiding the workers at the shipyard at this time, right?"
Tyre had now become the technical consultant for the ship in the territory. Although she would still try to make up for sleep, according to the report from her subordinates, the sea caterpillar monster was indeed working hard at the shipyard.
Like most of the factories in the territory, the shipyard also implemented a three-shift rotation system. The craftsmen worked overtime to repair the ships seized from the nobles in the Southern Territory to cope with the increasing pressure of river transportation during the large-scale construction of the Southern Territory after the war. At the same time, they worked hard to learn the technology of the sirens' spacecraft under the guidance of Tyre, studying how to build new ships. At this time, if Gwen remembered correctly, Tyre should be in the shipyard.
"Ah ha … Today's scheduled work is done. Now they are testing the strength of several materials. I don't have to watch over them, and I'm not familiar with the materials used by you landers," Tyre said as she swam to the shore. The starlight sprinkled on her wet hair, giving it a wonderful luster. "Then I came out early."
Gwen was a little speechless. "Didn't you sneak out?"
"No one found out." Tyre shook her head indifferently. "I sneaked out through the drainage pipe."
Gwen was speechless.
Did the sea caterpillar monster really not realize that the person in front of her was the biggest boss? She did not feel the slightest bit of psychological pressure when she told him about her sneaking out in front of him.
Gwen could not help but have a strong curiosity about the social form and customs of the sirens. He squatted down and looked at Tyre, who was leisurely soaking in the water. "Are you sirens as heartless as you? Do you usually … have something to worry about? "
"Heartless? I don't think so … But it's probably like that in your eyes. "Tyre, who was in the water, slapped her tail, she jumped out of the water and slapped the water like a salted fish on the ground beside Gwen.... and slapped her tail as she said," Our race … We can live for a long time, and have experienced many things.. So, we are a little different from you..... a little a little, a little a little different from you.. in. Compared to the sirens, even your so-called long-lived elves are a rather young race. Oh my god, I finally turned over. "
Gwen glanced at the salted fish, who could only turn over after a long time. He could not see the heritage and temperament of the so-called "deep sea ancient race" from this joker. But he knew that what Tyre said was true. As an ancient race that had witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations on the land, this group of deep-sea salted fish was fully qualified to treat any species on the land as' children '.
In this regard, perhaps only the satellite spirit of his main body could compete with the salted fish of the deep sea.
But he did not intend to discuss the ancient race with Tyre. Instead, he looked at the two banks of the Whitewater River, which were illuminated by the light of the magic crystal lamp. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You have been living here for more than a year. What do you think of this place?"
"It's developing fast. The order is good. There are a lot of strange things. Although not advanced, your technical route can still give me some inspiration." Tyre, who was supporting her body with her fishtail, commented. "But there are a lot of hidden dangers. Basically, they are brought about by the rapid development."
Gwen looked at Tyre with interest. "What about the specifics?"
"If you don't mind, I will tell you." Tyre patted his tail indifferently. "You are so ahead that only a few people can really keep up with your pace. Most of the people in the governing body you set up only know what to do, but not why. Your population and territory are expanding too fast, and the order in the remote areas is bound to be chaotic. Before you train enough administrative personnel, this chaos cannot be solved. Your army is powerful, but it lacks real tempering. They have not seen enough blood and need more tests of war. Your territory is developing very fast, but it will slow down one day. Once it slows down, the industries that rely on the dividends brought by the rapid development will have problems. Just from what I can see, there are already so many problems."
Gwen looked at Tyre, a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to observe so much."
"I'm just lazy, not blind. And I usually read the newspaper. Although it's a little troublesome to always wet the newspaper," Tyre said, glancing at Gwen. "But then again … actually, you know these hidden dangers yourself."
"How can I not know?" Gwen smiled helplessly, frankly admitting Tyre's words. "But even if there are hidden dangers, we still have to develop. Stagnation is not a problem of facing the hidden dangers. That will lead to the destruction of the country."
"Anyway, you have already taken down Firmrock Fortress, so you have the foundation to make up for these hidden dangers. As long as you develop and digest steadily, these shortcomings will slowly be remedied."
Gwen did not expect that this deep-sea salted fish would analyze a matter so seriously and discuss it with him so seriously. But he also knew that this was Tyre's way of showing 'sincerity'. Recently, this deep-sea salted fish had been running to several research departments almost every day. For this reason, she had even greatly reduced her sleeping time. Obviously, the arcane energy control technology behind the 'Rainbow Cannon' was very important to the sirens who were stuck in a technological bottleneck. When it came to the interests of the race, even the lazy Tyre had become reliable.
"It's good to have this time to digest," Gwen could not help but whisper softly. Then, he curiously asked a question. "Actually, there is something I have been curious about. In the long years that you sirens have been observing the civilizations on the land, the civilizations have been dying and dying one season after another. Is there really no civilization that could resist the demonic wave?"
This question was very important. Gwen really wanted to confirm one thing: was the demonic wave really unsolvable to the mortals?
From the time the sirens had been observing the land until now, the rise and fall of civilizations for more than a dozen seasons. Countless intelligent and brave races had been active on this land. Were they all destroyed by the demonic wave?
In the face of Gwen's question, Tyre showed a rare hesitation and confusion.
Gwen caught the subtle change in Tyre's expression. "Is there anything you don't know?"
"Actually, there is no secret, but there is something that we have not been able to confirm," Tyre gently patted the rock under him with his fishtail. "I believe that you are a rational and calm person. So I am going to tell you about a phenomenon that we have discovered."
Gwen's expression became serious as he quietly listened to Tyre's story.
But Tyre's first sentence surprised him. "… In fact, not all civilizations were destroyed by the demonic wave. Some had self-destructed for various reasons before the demonic wave, and some … suddenly disappeared after the demonic wave. I am talking about the real demonic wave. "
According to Tyre, there were two types of demonic waves. The demonic wave that the Kingdom of Gondor experienced 700 years ago was only a small 'ripple'. When the real demonic wave came, the whole world would be turned upside down, and that was the real unstoppable.
So Gwen was immediately surprised. "There were civilizations that successfully survived the demonic wave?"
"Yes, and more than one." Tyre nodded solemnly. "They found the protective technology that could withstand the demonic wave, or found the pattern of the demonic wave and built a safe zone in advance. There was even a race that completed the life form transformation before the demonic wave. They all survived the demonic wave. We thought that those civilizations were probably fine … but in the end, they suddenly perished after the demonic wave ended."
"Perished suddenly?" Gwen heard the deeper meaning in Tyre's words. "That is to say, you do not know the reason?"
"It seems that a large-scale war broke out suddenly, but we could not tell who was fighting with. Our observers also went ashore to investigate the situation, but found that the records of the civilizations on the land were basically all destroyed. Even if some information was found, it was only the crazy words of the deranged. In addition, we have also observed large-scale mass suicides and martyrdom … It is completely inexplicable. "
Gwen's brows were tightly knitted together. He had never thought of this situation before, but he vaguely remembered … when he was hanging in the sky as a satellite spirit, he did observe the flames of war that spread across the entire continent, and even a war that was enough to destroy all the countries on the continent …
Although his observation at that time was severely disjointed, and he could not piece together the complete development process from the messy images, the existence of those images was enough to prove that Tyre was right.
It was not only the demonic wave that destroyed the civilization on the continent.
"Our observation ability on the land is limited because we will be affected to a certain extent by the demonic wave. The sirens will not die during the demonic wave, but our equipment will be greatly disturbed, and the ocean itself will become very dangerous and difficult to control. So we do not know what happened before and after the demonic wave, but we can be sure of one thing: it seems that when the civilization on the land develops to a certain extent, it is bound to encounter a destructive disaster. There is a bottleneck waiting there, and this bottleneck … should have appeared after the demonic wave ended."
Bottleneck, an invisible bottleneck, or … a trap.
"It is very much like a trap, isn't it?" Tyre's voice came from the side, and it was exactly what Gwen was thinking. The siren lady propped herself up with her fishtail and looked up at the starry night sky. "It is as if the civilizations are sailing in a dark sea. We sirens watched from afar, watching their lights flickering in the dark sea. Some of them were swallowed by the storm, some were extinguished before the storm came, and those who were lucky enough to get through the storm … before we could congratulate them, their lights were suddenly extinguished. This is a terrible world. The dark sea seems to have a vortex that is invisible to the naked eye, and it would suddenly swallow the careless voyagers. So we gave this mysterious and terrible phenomenon a name —
"We call it the 'Black Trap', a trap in the dark sea."
