Chapter 187 What is a Kraken
To be honest, it was not beyond Gao Wen's expectations that he saw some strange and mutated versions in the process of collecting his own biography. The changes of seven hundred years were enough to allow those unforeseen scholars with rich imagination to arrange any ancient figures in a strange way. Gao Wen Cecil is a golden sign that the entire continent knows. The thirty-five years of legendary life of this pioneering hero can be said to be a topic that has lasted forever among the population of all classes. There is a saying that he died early because of his achievements and reputation. Where can I find such a good topic?
At this time, Gao Wen was even a little grateful for the backwardness of this world, and fortunately the cultural industry of this world was unable to usher in explosive development because it was controlled by the upper class. If this place was as developed as the earth, it would be possible that he could see the pioneers seven hundred years ago being replaced with a portrait and hung in the game mall. Charles I logged in and gave it away. Grand Duke Wilder needed to sign in for seven days. Gao Wen Cecil was in the first gift bag...
And every month, these people will have new skins. His two granddaughters are very likely to throw their family money into it and burst into pieces, so that they can lick the new paintings of their ancestors. The party who lifted the coffin will maintain the embarrassment of more than 200 plus signs throughout the process, and they wish they could die for themselves...
Gao Wen patted his forehead hard and forced his thoughts back to his thunderous thoughts. He sighed and looked at the absurdly arranged "popular reading book" in front of him. Everyone knew that the story was fake, but it was the favorite pastime reading of the lady in the middle and south of the kingdom. This fully proved the vigorous vitality of popular literature and how boring people's daily life was in this era.
But as the party involved, Gao Wen saw some implicit facts in those fabricated love stories. The stories are not all fake.
In addition to those confidants who were tying up, there are several adventure stories related to Gowen Cecil. These adventure stories do not appear in any official biography. When outsiders see them, they may classify them as a second-rate novelist together with those confidants, but Gowen knows that at least half of those unknown adventures are true.
Search for the ruins of the ancient tombs in the wasteland of Gondor to find clues to the spirit of the element; lead a few soldiers to find safe passages while traveling through the "magic scorch marks", and accidentally discover the Gondor magician regiment that turned into crystals; when Cecil was invented, he went deep into the mountains, communicated with the elements and received blessings...
These are the other side of Gowen Cecil as a pioneer. From these experiences, we can see that he really lives like a halo... Of course, it doesn't matter whether he is a halo or not. What's important is that these unknown stories actually appear in a ridiculous knight novel, which is intriguing.
This novel has been circulating for a long time, and the original author is no longer verified. He probably was worried that he would be beaten up when he was writing a book. Therefore, the only clue left by the author is "Mr. C, the bard" as the pen name. Gao Wen didn't know how Mr. C knew these stories, but he must be a man who was patient and skillful enough. He visited countless people who had contact with Gowen Cecil or their descendants to sort out these materials. Among all these adventure stories, one chapter mentioned the story of Gowen Cecil's challenge to the deep sea.
The story says this: After assisting the great founding king Charles I, Gowen Cecil, who established the kingdom, was deeply worried about the monsters that kept wandering out of the wasteland of Gondor and the corruption of the demon tide that continued to spread. So he turned to the spirit of elementals of earth, water, fire, and wind, and the four princesses in the four elemental planes (there are princesses too?) who were impressed by the young hero knights, so he offered advice to him. Gowen Cecil finally accepted the inspiration of the water element and set out to the ocean to find the answer.
Although there was no Storm Priest as the guide at sea, Gowan Cecil was helped by the sea elves (of course, in Mr. C's writing, the sea elves broke into another princess in the process). The sea elves allowed the fleet to pass the storm around the continent and guided the team all the way east.
After a long day and night sailing, the sea elves suddenly fell into panic and dissuaded Gao Wen not to continue moving forward, because the sea to the east was the territory of the "Sizzy Monster". No land race could compete with the powerful Sizzy Monster in the ocean. However, Gao Wen Cecil was not afraid, and he insisted on moving forward, so the sea elves had to leave the team. Most of the ships in the fleet also left with the sea elves. Only Gao Wen Cecil and a few loyal guards continued to drive the ship. Not long after, they met the Sizzil.
The smart reader Gao Wen immediately realized that there must be a princess in the Siren...
But this story is a bit terrible here. Mr. C just records in a sloppy way that Gauven Cecil won the trust of the siren and was directed to a "sacred and beautiful" place. The group drank fine wine there for three days and three nights, and then was directly thrown back to the Loren continent by a storm.
This is obviously a fool to the reader.
Intuition tells Gao Wen that this story should be the record of the far-sea voyage missing in Gao Wen Cecil's memory.
But there was a strange race here: Siren.
Gao Wen is very unfamiliar with this racial name, and he only has a slight impression in his memory, but he points to bizarre myths and stories, which are not enough to prove it.
At this moment, the door of the study was knocked on. After the door opened, Druid Pittman walked in: "Sir, I heard Amber say you are looking for me?"
Gao Wen nodded, asked the old druid straight into the house, and said, "Have you heard of the Siren?"
"Sirencer?" Pitman touched his chin, "I've heard some legends related to them."
Gaowen's eyes lit up: Druid is the profession that knows the most about races in the world. Even if Pittman knows only legends related to Siren, the level of detail is definitely much more than what ordinary people know!
"Tell me!"
Pitman twisted his beard and said slowly: "The legends of siren are mostly concentrated in the eastern and southern parts of the continent. Few people mentioned them on Ansu. Even if they mention them, they will only appear in thrillers or similar strange stories. It is said that siren is one of the oldest intelligent creatures in the world, and their history is likely to be as long as the dragon. They have ruled the ocean for thousands of years before the rise of humans.
"Simon is a race with only women in the entire race. She lives in the depths of the ocean in the far east and almost never communicates with the intelligent races on the mainland. They all have beautiful appearances, but only the upper body looks like a human, and the lower body is full of all kinds of sea monsters...
"In addition to these, there are legends that siren actually do not disconnect with humans, but because they have the ability to change into human appearance, so when they go ashore, they will immediately integrate into the crowd... Yes, the ability to change, many legends point out that siren has ever-changing forms, and they are amorphous like water, so they can become various forms. Most of the legends of sea monsters in the distant sea are their masterpieces.
"In addition, there are legends that siren will visit the land in a planned manner. Because they have a long lifespan, they will regard observing the development of a short-lived civilization like humans as a pleasure. Whenever human civilization goes ups and downs, they will come to watch curiously; some people think that siren visiting the land to find something. Some people in certain classics of the silver elves swear to leave records of contact with siren, and say that siren will communicate peacefully with intelligent creatures on the land. Sometimes they will ask for help from 'land people', and as long as the land can satisfy their wishes, they will receive very generous rewards. Sometimes it is rare jewelry in the deep sea, sometimes it is strange and incredible magic device. It is said that the sea elves royal family has a trident that can release thunder and lightning, which is the gift given to them by the siren a thousand years ago.
"But there are legends that point out that the Siren do not seem to know the value of the gifts they give. They just give some things to the people on land according to their preferences. Sometimes when you point them a way, they will give you a box of pearls. Sometimes when you help them, they will only give you a piece of fish and there are tooth marks on the fish. The records in this regard are also left by the silver elves."
Gao Wen interrupted Pittman's story: "If they met Siren while sailing in the ocean, how would they treat the 'invading ocean' people?"
Pitman raised his eyebrows: "You have touched my blind spots in knowledge, but according to most legends, it is very, very dangerous to encounter sirens in the distant sea area."
"Very dangerous?" Gao Wen frowned, "Aren't there many legends that siren would communicate peacefully with people on land? They even gave gifts or something..."
"But that's on land," Pittman's expression was very serious. "In the ocean, they seemed to be very offensive, especially when the Trekkers entered some sea areas that they should not have entered, the Siren would immediately transform into terrifying sea monsters and drive away or even pursue them. They are the family members of the sea and have unimaginable power on the sea. Even the thunder and lightning summoned by the magicians cannot be compared with their storms. There are so many horror stories about ocean voyages, but not all of them are groundless."
Gao Wen frowned: "Is that true..."
At the same time, in the eastern deep sea far away from the Loren continent, some elegant and graceful figures were quickly crossing the dark and deep seabed, and their snake tails or fish tails were swinging in the sea, making these beautiful and intelligent creatures move quickly and difficult to understand as phantoms in the deep sea.
They had no idea that they had been regarded as a topic of discussion by two humans on the distant continent. For these deep-sea saltwater fish, there was still a very important work waiting for them to complete.
A siren crossed a "mountain" on the seabed, watching the scene ahead winding along the seabed. The special "deep sea vision" allows her to see a very distant place from this dark seabed.
A shockingly huge tentacle lies across the sea bottom in front of it, covered with layers of coral and deep-sea plants. A large number of broken pieces of flesh and blood were scattered around the tentacles. They had completely lost their vitality, but there was no sign of decay.
And in a more distant place, at the end of the tentacles that extend out like a small mountain range, you can vaguely see a more huge shadow, which is the larger body of flesh and blood, and the direction of the "first excavation site".
The excavation team leader's long snake tail slapped on the beach under the sea, then raised its tail high and swung quickly like a flag in the sea. She gave her team members loudly: "Dig here today! Come on, everyone!"
The Siren responded in unison: "Come on everyone!"
"Don't go too far with 'squid', don't waste time!"
"Don't waste time!"
"Don't steal engine fuel!"
"Don't steal engine fuel!"
“Excavation!”
