Siren is a race full of mystery. This is not only because they live in the deep sea far away from land and have a physical distance from surface creatures, but also because they seem to have a unique way of thinking and worldview, which leads to a huge difference between the things they describe and the things you really know. For example, when humans divide the monsters in the deep sea according to their magic level and attack attributes, what Siren comes up with is a chewy ranking list, and this tm is completely unable to communicate.

So Gao Wen was not sure what the "big squid" dug in the deep sea by the sirens was. He could only boldly guess it as something related to gods based on the various characteristics mentioned by Tyre, but whether it was... it would take him to see it with his own eyes to know.

Unfortunately, there is no chance to go to the deep sea yet.

After dinner, Tyre stretched out his big laziness. The deep-water creatures who were preparing to hibernate at this moment seemed to have no idea of ​​walking a hundred steps after a meal. During the meal, she had already yawned her yawn. Miss Siren untied her tail, waved her hands and said she wanted to go back and slump, and then climbed out of the restaurant one by one.

The crawling posture is indeed so embarrassing...

Betty got up to clean up the tableware. Rebecca returned to his room with a bunch of rune substrates and scrolls and then calculated. Amber just finished eating and drinking and rolling into the shadow. I didn't know what to do. Soon there were only Gowen and Hetty left in the restaurant.

Gao Wen could see that Hetty had something to do, so he took the initiative to ask: "What are you thinking?"

"Ancestor, do you believe what the Siren said?"

Gao Wen first asked the other party: "What do you mean?"

"In legend, things from the deep sea have the characteristics of bewitching people's hearts and lust and frenzy. There are also sailors who rumor that as long as the ship leaves the near sea, they will hear the sirens' singing on a windless night," said Hetty, who read from the book, "the song will lure the ship into the whirlpool and reef areas, and even drag people into the nightmare, leaving only the empty and ragged ghost ship drifting on the sea."

"But you obviously don't believe these legends," Gao Wen smiled and looked at Hetty, "and the superstitious statements of those sailors are even more ridiculous for seven hundred years. How many ships have actually been to the far sea and returned alive? Where did those sailors come from a lot of 'seeing and hearing' with their own eyes'?"

Hetty shook his head gently: "The legend is indeed absurd and unruly, but what Tyre said is indeed sensational and shakes people's hearts."

"You mean the part about the 'real tide'," Govin knew what Hetty meant, "To be honest, I would rather believe it is true."

Hetty frowned: "Is it because of the minerals I found in the Dark Mountains recently?"

"Home raw stone was formed in the demon tide and what we cannot be sure of is that what matter will disappear during the demon tide," Gao Wen said quietly. "The mutation in the dark mountains is visible to everyone, and in the wasteland of Gondor, we have also seen countless things that have been affected by the demon tide and changed their nature. A large number of new magic materials may be a wealth, but if this phenomenon occurs all over the world, it will be a disaster for mortal civilization. Can you imagine what the consequences would be if the general magic materials known to mankind suddenly changed their nature or even disappeared out of thin air?"

"Even the temple of the stars of the elves will fall," Hetty smiled bitterly, but then said, "But there are still iron ore in the dark mountains, and there are still construction stones, giant wood is still giant wood, and quartz sand is still quartz sand..."

"This is the last trace of kindness left by the world to mortals. Not 100% of matter will change in the demon tide. Now it seems that those most basic substances with low magic sensitivity are least susceptible to the demon tide. Moreover, even the influenced demon materials are not 100% converted. But no one can say whether they will still be like this when the 'real demon tide' breaks out. And even if the substances affected by the demon tide are only 100%, this is enough to destroy the foundation of mortal civilization: those magic circles in operation, magic wells around the world, mage towers, and demon materials that have been installed in magic devices, once they are affected by the demon tide during their operation..."

Gao Wen did not say the last sentence, but Hetty and he both understood what that would be like: mortal civilization really exploded in an instant, and it was ascended to heaven...

The powerful Gondor Empire was destroyed after only one month of perseverance in the demon tide. It is not unreasonable.

This is a desperate future. If the true power of the Demon Tide is really as Tyr described and Gao Wen imagined, then the mortal civilization at this stage would not have thought of any way to save itself. Even if Gao Wen had two lifetimes and millions of years of satellite experience plus one piece, he would not have imagined how to use the current human civilization to fight against the Demon Tide's material world to shake the foundation. This world is so "changeable". Who could have thought of this?

But...is there really no way?

Somehow, Gao Wen suddenly thought of the sentence he saw in the laboratory of the ruins in the mountains:

Human beings will always exist, even if they disobey the gods.

Did the Gondor magicians were not studying the method of immortality, but were trying to find a way to fight the demon tide by studying the power of gods? In the Spark Age a thousand years ago, the Gondor magicians already knew that the demon tide was coming?

That's why they said, "human beings will survive forever", rather than "xx will live forever". The latter is the immortality of an individual, but the former may refer to the existence of the entire race and the entire civilization!

However, in the demon tide seven hundred years ago, the Gondor Empire only lasted for one month.

Did their research fail in the Spark Age? Give up? Go on the wrong path? Or... the situation is not what they imagined. The research projects of the ruins in the mountains actually have nothing to do with the magic wave?

Gao Wen's thoughts were turning sharply, and he thought of the "big squid" dug by the Siren on the bottom of the sea.

According to the information disclosed by Tyre, the big squid died at the bottom of the sea before the emergence of the Siren civilization. In other words, the thing suspected to be a god's relics has experienced several demon tides in the deep sea, but it seems that it has never been affected...

The sirens are not affected by the demon tide, or the impact they have been affected is limited. Although their civilization seems to have been affected, at least they still continue...

"Ancestor?" Hetty couldn't help but break the silence when he saw Gao Wen not speaking for a long time, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering whether mortals have a way to survive in the face of the demon tide," Gao Wen said slowly. "Although there is no clear evidence, I think the way out exists, either in the gods or in the way of the elements."

"Are the priests and elemental mages?"

"No, you're talking about two types of spell casting professions. They are users of power, but I think the way out should be in the essence of power, or... the essence of our material world."

Seeing Hetty fall into thinking with this sentence, Gao Wen couldn't help laughing: "It's too early to think about this now. With our current strength and even the current level of the entire mortal world, we are not qualified to think about these issues. Instead of considering these, we should go back and take a break and think about how to organize the personnel selection in two days."

Yes, it is not the time to think about these things, at least it is not the time to let Hetty think about them.

Gao Wen comforted Hetty and asked her to go back to the room to rest. At the same time, he was also concentrating in his mind and calling on the surveillance satellite located in space.

The "magic imaging overhead view" that looked like a thermal imaging map appeared in his mind. With his current location as the center, the magic distribution map of hundreds of kilometers around him and the topographic map were combined in a superposition manner. The misty magic breath was floating and changing on the overhead view, and the recent giant planet monitoring information jumped into his mind:

"The energy level of the giant planet has dropped and turned to a low alert state.

"The energy level of the giant planet has dropped to a low level, confirming that the giant planet has entered a calm period and the alert is lifted.

"Each system enters low power self-test mode."

At least, there is no sign of an outbreak of the magic tide for the time being.

At the same time, in the western border of the Ansu Kingdom, the border of the Duke of Franklin, and the junction of moss and wood forests.

The Ogure tribe state adjacent to Ansu is a loosely structured alliance kingdom. After entering this land covered by mountains and dense forests, the human advancement and development troops chose to live peacefully with the local forces, and established a firm foothold in the western part of the mainland by signing a contract and winning over the alliance. After seven hundred years of integration and evolution, many races on this land have combined to form a new force, and more than a dozen intelligent races have lived here for a long time, while the spirits, gray elves, goblins, orcs and humans are the most powerful and most vocal races. The original hereditary habitat of these races was their respective main cities. Through the ruling structure called the "Five Kings Review Group", they jointly governed this vast territory.

Unlike Tifeng, which is now in the same way as Ansu, the Ogure tribe state has maintained good diplomatic relations with Ansu for seven hundred years. The Franklin family in the western part of Ansu has made an indelible contribution to this: this family that is good at calculating and good at doing business has always been willing to deal with races in the dense forests of the mountains and has long trade with the gray elves. On the border of the "moss wood forest" in the main settlement area of ​​the gray elves, the Franklin family also established a large-scale trade.

Market towns and several special settlements to facilitate the exchange of business trips. Although they used various means to accumulate wealth in the process, and even created "policy orders" that mandated merchants to exchange one-third of their property for Franklin silver coins, and had to settle the Franklin silver coins to walk in the country, compared with the nobles in other regions who directly dig pits on the road to rob vendors and hire robbers to directly rob the market, the Franklin family is already a rare wise man.

But today, the wise Duke of Franklin encountered trouble.

The trading market town "Jinlin Town" on the edge of moss and wood forests.
