Sword of Dawn

"Thank you very much - without your help, I really don't know how to proceed with some things, after all, I am far less mature than my father," Film showed a grateful expression, and then showed some hesitation After a pause, he continued, "To be honest, I... didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to work with people like you."

Fendil looked at Film: "Do you still mind our identities?"

Film looked at the tall northern nobleman, and nodded after a short thought: "I can't go against my heart—I'm still a little restrained when talking with you, but I feel that I'm getting used to it. The feeling you bring to me is different from the nobles I have come into contact with before, you have some special...atmosphere, it is wonderful, I don't know how to describe it."

Fendil looked at Film silently for two seconds, then suddenly chuckled and shook his head: "Actually, if you saw us before the signing ceremony of Silver Fort, then your feelings towards us will be the same as your previous contact It is no different from other nobles who have lived."

Film froze in astonishment.

"We all know the style you have seen before, but we know how to restrain our habits better than those old people," Fendil said calmly, "the rules of the nobility... Oh, that thing is like a heap In a room full of fish and shrimps, everyone who stays in it will be deeply affected by its smell. No one in our circle can escape, or in other words, no one is allowed to escape.

"My friend, Eleven and I also came out of that room—but as His Majesty said, a new era has come, and anyone who is familiar with history will understand one thing, only to hug in time Only people in the new era are qualified to survive.

"Of course, when I say this, I don't mean that my friendship with you is fake. On the contrary, I am very satisfied with our current state, because just like a bottle of wine in a thousand bottles will always be broken by mistake, a thousand nobles There will always be one or two strange guys in there."

On the other side, Eleven also interjected: "Thank you for the signing ceremony in Silver Castle—at least now some nobles who don't want to stay in that room full of fish and shrimp can have the opportunity to come out legally. I can already foresee that the signing ceremony will definitely be recorded in the history books and become a lesson that scholars of later generations must study."

Film listened to the words of the two partners, showing a thoughtful look, but shook his head with a little embarrassment: "Although I understand, I am not very familiar with history... My understanding of history It all comes from those exaggerated old scripts. You should know that in the past, civilians were not allowed to have access to real history books."

"...Imperial College has a history class," Fendil was silent for a moment, then suddenly said leisurely, "I think this may be the greatest point of His Majesty the Emperor."

Film showed a somewhat dazed look for a while.

Fendil noticed the bewilderment in his eyes, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "If you have the chance, go and buy more books to read. There are more books that civilians are allowed to read now than before."

"I want to go to a place," Eleven said suddenly, and looked at Fendil, "You should also want to go and see it?"

Fendil understood the meaning of the other party almost instantly, and nodded slightly: "Alright, he is here after all..."

Film looked at the two in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

"We are going to meet someone, our mutual friend," Fendil said softly, "Come along and get to know him."

Film's eyes swept over Fendil and Eleven, and he found that the expressions of these two friends seemed to have changed, but he didn't know why the change came, but he still nodded. : "Of course... far away?"

"It's not far." Eleven raised his head and looked towards the end of the street. "I heard...he was placed there."

Film noticed a strange word in the other party's words: "Placement?"

Eleven didn't answer, but just followed Fendil's footsteps and walked towards the end of the street.

Film could only keep up with a little confusion.

……

At the end of the block, a solemn building stands on a small square.

The building looked very brand new, as if it had just been built.

"Ansu Civil War Memorial..." Film raised his head and looked curiously at the sign at the entrance of the building, "Is your friend here?"

"That's right." Fendil nodded, and took the lead to walk towards the ten steps of the memorial hall.

There are guards guarding the entrance of the memorial hall. They told the three of them that today is a closed day, and the memorial hall is closed to ordinary citizens, but Film saw Eleven and Fendil stepping up to say something to the guards and showing their respective identities It proved that after some negotiation, the two soldiers nodded in agreement, turned around and opened the gate of the memorial hall.

"Please leave within an hour, and do not enter the side hall and the rear corridor." The guard reminded after opening the door.

"This can be regarded as using a little 'privilege'." Fendil looked at Film who walked up the steps, and said slightly jokingly.

The three walked into this somewhat special-looking building. Shortly after entering the gate, Film saw a hall appear in front of his eyes.

Because it was a closed day, it seemed very quiet here, and the lights in the hall were only less than half turned on. In the slightly dim light, Film noticed the "figure" standing in the center of the hall at first sight. ".

After following Fendil and the two close, he realized that the figure turned out to be a lifelike sculpture.

A young man with a long sword and armor stood there, bathed in the light of a single magic spar lamp, quietly watching the direction of the hall entrance.

At this point, Film has already understood.

This is probably the "mutual friend" that Fendil and Eleven said.

"He's Belk, Belk Lauren," Fendil said as expected, he stared at the lifelike sculpture, and kept his eyes on it for a long time, "He's the oldest of the three of us."

"He took a path we never dared to imagine, and ushered in an ending we never imagined," Eleven sighed softly, "He once told us many things about the times and changes, but after he was willing to share with us When we said that, I never understood it, and when I did, he was already here."

Fendil stood opposite the "statue" of Belk. He stared at the eyes that had turned into cold rocks for a long time, and suddenly broke the silence:

"Belk, as you wish, this great era has finally arrived."

A heavy and solemn atmosphere lingered here, and Film didn't know what to say. He was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Can you tell me about him?"

"Of course, but we only know part of it," Fendil said slowly, "the rest, the soldiers who participated in that war may know some, the former lord of Pompeii may know some, the commanders of Rock Fortress Maybe know some too... I'm not sure if these scattered pieces can piece together a complete story, but if it is possible, if there is a chance in the future, I hope you can write this story and write it into your phantom drama inside.

"Just take it as a legacy for the last knight of the old era."

Chapter 0750 Deep Sea Intelligence

Cecil Palace, in a special room.

This guest room is furnished unusually. There is no normal bed and bedding in the room. A large pool half buried in the center of the room occupies the position of the bed. Next to the pool is a large wooden barrel, which contains The white and delicate granules, around this weird pool and wooden barrel, are normal tables, chairs, furniture, and daily things.

The eerie layout of the rooms gives the impression that someone built a swimming pool in their bedroom.

Betty, who was wearing a black and white maid dress, was standing by the pool. She held a long-handled wooden spoon in her hand, scooped out some white particles from the wooden bucket beside her, sprinkled them into the pool and stirred them carefully.

Suddenly, there were strange ripples in the water in the pool, and then the ripples quickly enlarged, as if a storm suddenly broke out in a windless room, and the pool water rolled up layers of waves. Those tumbling water sprays continued to condense, gradually forming a female body with a coquettish snake tail and long blue hair in the center of the pool.

Betty maintained the movement of holding the ladle tightly, blinking her eyes at the figure emerging from the pool, and waited until the figure was completely solidified before she let out a small exclamation, and then bowed vigorously: "Miss Till, afternoon it is good!"

Tyre, who successfully resurrected, propped himself up on his tail and raised his upper body in the water: "Little Betty! Is Gawain here?"

"Master... Ah, Your Majesty is in the study," Betty thought for a while, and corrected her address with a little belatedness, "There are no guests over there now."

"Oh, okay, I have something to look for him - you get busy first, I'm leaving!"

Till crawled out of the pool while talking quickly, but stopped when she was about to arch towards the door. The siren lady noticed the wooden spoon in Betty's hand, and stirred it with the tip of her tail. After feeling the water in the pond, he waved his hand: "I put less salt, it's not salty enough, add more..."

While speaking, she quickly arched towards the door, and soon disappeared in front of Betty.

Things might have happened a little too fast, Betty realized after a while, she looked at the direction where Tyr left, then looked down at the wooden spoon in her hand and the salt bucket at her feet, bent down to pick up the bucket, and started rattling Pour the salt into the water...

Tire quickly arched into Gawain's study room, and the commotion caused Gawain who was reading a book to raise his head.

Seeing Tyre who suddenly appeared at the door, Gawain was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but said with a somewhat weird expression: "Just now someone reported that you suddenly jumped from the tallest magic net center tower outside the city. When it fell, it fell to pieces, and it was all over the ground—is this your newly-invented quick home skill?"

"What do you mean by jumping off? I fell off because my tail was frozen..." Till waved his hands vigorously, but then he looked thoughtful, "Hey, but what you said makes sense, it's so cold God, if I happen to go out, it seems that I can return quickly if I just die outside... Oh no, I didn't come to tell you this!"

"No matter what you say, put the tail in first." Gawain glanced at the long tail behind Tyre - the Siren lady was almost at his desk, but the second half of the tail was still there Outside the door, he was swaying restlessly in the corridor, "Block the road outside, and someone will step on you when you come and go."

"Oh, oh," Tire agreed, curling his tail back into the room, and closed the door with the tip of his tail. She nodded to Gawain after coiling herself up very ladylikely, "I just talked to Anta Wayne Correspondence, I know something that may interest you."

"Can it arouse my interest?" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, thinking about the intersection between himself and the Siren Kingdom far away across the endless sea, he couldn't help laughing and made a joke, "In the depths of the endless sea I am afraid that the things that can arouse my interest, besides the mutation of the Storm Lord, is that the children of the storm are all self-defeating."

Tyre nodded: "Yes."

Gao Wen: "...huh?"

"There may indeed be something wrong with the Son of the Storm, but we haven't figured out what's going on," Tire seemed not to notice the wonderful expression on Gawain's face, and just continued, "What happened two days ago?" A group of strange amphibious intelligent creatures suddenly appeared on the "Sunshine Beach" on the west side of the Io continent. Hathaway, the great witch of the deep sea, named them "Naga". Now, our queen suspects that those "Naga" 'Probably mutated from the Son of the Storm..."

Gao Wen: "...huh?"

"Some marks of the Son of the Storm were found on those 'Naga', and some Naga were still wearing the robe of the Son of the Storm." Till added.

"Wait a minute, I need to take it easy." Gao Wen rubbed his forehead, never expecting that this deep-sea salted fish would suddenly bring him so much explosive news—this deep-sea visitor seems to be best at making things that make people feel uncomfortable. He, a traveler, was dumbfounded, whether it was her frequent sudden death or the occasional deep-sea intelligence, he could always do it with ease.

If Gawain always shocked the world with his advanced vision, then Tire obviously came here specifically to shock Gawain.

After soothing his spirit, he exhaled and looked at Tyr: "Okay, let's go one by one, first talk about 'Naga', how they appeared, and then discuss the children of the storm..."

Till didn't hide anything, because the anecdotes that happened at sea are not secret here, so she immediately told the news she heard in detail.

"...They should have dived from the bottom of the sea to the continent of Io at night. We have monitoring devices in Antavien and several major towns, but those 'Naga' seem to have bypassed the monitoring by accident. dead end...

"Those naga look strange, a bit like a mixture of humans, sea snakes, and sea fish, or juvenile sea monsters with a messy transformation technology. The big witch preliminarily guessed that they were the result of human mutation, but they couldn't find out the reason, and couldn't see the curse. Remnants of...

"...They all seem to be very excited, and they are as happy as returning home after coming to Io Continent, but they didn't attack any of the siren sisters—in fact, they showed extraordinary closeness and obedience to the siren ——Of course, when they were a little calmer and able to communicate easily. Most of the Naga who had just arrived on the beach were in a state where it was difficult to communicate.

"...According to the self-reports of the few Naga who calmed down and were able to talk, they went on a 'pilgrimage' to the continent of Io because they heard the 'call of Eva'. But they don't remember clearly what happened when they were humans, and I can't remember how I mutated into that appearance...

"The great witch said that as time goes by, some Naga may become more awake and recover more memories, but everything is still uncertain..."

As Till spoke, he raised his hand and summoned a water polo. The water polo twisted in the air and gradually condensed into a lifelike "water sculpture". The appearance of the creatures of Ka".

It seems that Tire's communication with the Siren Kingdom through the resonance of the global magic field can not only transmit sound, but also transmit images—the image of Naga should be transmitted to her there.

It would be great if we could crack the technology used by the sea monsters to establish communication across the endless sea with the help of magic ripples...

Some divergent thoughts flashed through Gao Wen's mind for a moment, and then his attention fell on the water sculpture in midair.

The image of Naga is even weirder than he imagined. It has scales and fins, webs and gills, and has all kinds of distinctive characteristics of amphibians, but it still maintains a considerable degree of human half-body and facial posture. Impress every witness.

Looking at the clear fins and the long tail between the sea snake and the sea fish presented on the water sculpture, Gawain exhaled softly: "Very obvious deep-sea features..."

Tyr nodded: "Yes, they have mutated enough to be able to survive in the deep sea - the sons of the storm were not able to. Although those humans are very good at ocean-related spells, they still have to settle on land."

Gao Wen frowned: "Isn't it [-]% sure that these Naga are mutated from the Son of the Storm?"

"Actually, in my opinion, the evidence is quite obvious, but the Grand Witch is a scholar. She and her deep sea witches pay attention to rigor. It is said that they have not found the key evidence that the son of the storm mutated into a Naga, nor observed The specific process of mutation, so no conclusion can be drawn for a while.”

"Then let's assume that the Naga is indeed a mutation from the Son of the Storm," Gao Wen said casually, "You just said that some Naga who calmed down claimed to enter the Kraken Domain for pilgrimage?"

"correct."

"You also mentioned 'Eva's call'..." Gawain frowned, "I heard you mention the word 'Eva' occasionally, but what does 'Eva's call' mean?"

"First of all, let's talk about Eva. This is a term for our sea monsters. It is used to refer to the common consciousness of all sea monsters on a planet," Tire said while trying to think of words, trying to make Gawain more understandable. It is easy to understand this concept, "You may think that she is the 'god' of the sirens, but you know that we do not believe in any specific gods, this Eva... you just think of it as the will of the sirens But according to our theory, Eva's group will should be a virtual and conceptual product, she exists in an invisible way, and acts on our race in an abstract way, so there should be no "Eva's" in theory. Summoning' this kind of thing..."

"But a group of crazy cultists said that they heard the 'Eva's call', and they may even have unimaginable mutations because of this call, because of this call, they went to the domain of the sea monster to make a pilgrimage," Gawain said with an expression It became serious a little bit, "It shouldn't exist out of thin air, should it?"

"...Yeah, I think so too, the Queen and the Grand Witch probably think the same way," Till frowned in distress, "But why don't we sea monsters feel the so-called 'Yi' at all?" What about baby's call'?"

Gawain looked at the visitor from the deep sea in front of him, but he was quickly compiling various information and clues in his mind.

The first thing that should be paid attention to is the identity of those sons of the storm before they became the so-called "Naga".

They are crazy cultists.

Their actions are closely related to "gods".

Whether they want to disobey the gods like the Doom Society, or want to please the gods like normal cultists, their actions are all based on "god" as the starting point.

So, what does "Eva's Call"... have to do with God?In other words, what does the sea monster group represented by Eva have to do with God?

In an instant, a lot of irrelevant words such as food chain, storm lord sashimi, hungry salted fish, food and eaters popped up in Gao Wen's mind.

He couldn't help tapping his forehead, and after collecting the words that were running around in his head, everything boiled down to one point: the sea monster ate the God of Storms.

As a traveler who has read all the stories in his previous life, and as a satellite spirit with rich observation experience, a vague answer soon surfaced in his heart.

This answer seems horrifying, bizarre, and unbelievable, but it conforms to the logic of this world.

The god position seems to be usurpable.

If all things die, they dare to create a fake god, which is enough to show that the position of the so-called god is not as indestructible as mortals imagine.

Gawain couldn't help but cast a strange look at Tyre.

Tire was taken aback by the weird sight, and the tip of his tail stood up and shook: "Hey, what did you think of?"

"You sea monsters... how many people do you have? Uh, or something like a fish mouth..."

Till thought for a while: "A few million, we are controlling the population size."

The corner of Gao Wen's mouth trembled.

If the situation is really as he imagined, if it is true that these deep-sea salted fish usurped the position of the Lord of Storms unknowingly, then this picture is really a bit weird.

Was it the Kraken with a population of several million that took over the God of the Lord of Storms, or the Eva who was similar to a concept?

If it is the former, then what kind of state is a "New Lord of Storms" who needs several million people to be considered a "god"?

if the latter one……

So, will the conceptualized Eva become the materialized Lord of the Storm?Where will this newborn god appear, the real world?The world of water elements?Or the mysterious and distant God Realm?He...will it still be the will of the Krakens?

In any case, there may be the secrets of the gods hidden in it, the mystery of their birth and destruction.

With his mind running at high speed, Gawain looked at Tyre, and Tyre returned a puzzled look, while still fiddling with the tip of his tail boredly.

This is really the God of Harmony of the Deep Sea...

Chapter 0751 Growth

No matter what happened to the position of the Lord of Storms, Gawain obviously couldn't get an answer from the God of Harmony of the Deep Sea who was fiddling with the tip of his tail.
