In front of Gawain was the latest batch of investigation materials on the ruins in the mountains sent by the messenger soldiers. This information detailed what the Knights of Byron had seen and heard in the ruins in the mountains, and was accompanied by a more detailed map. and some hand-drawn manuscripts of Stranger Things.
After the winter, Knight Byron's exploration of the ruins in the mountains is still not over. He spends half of every month wandering around the super-large facility in the mountains, looking for more corridors, dark passages and rooms, and drawing them. On the map along the way, every three days or so, he will send a soldier to send the newly collected information to the territory.
At present, these are all routine materials, and no new research facilities involving the secrets of the gods have been discovered, but the expanding map itself is enough to surprise Gawain—the real scale of the ruins once This time challenged his expectations. The size of those corridors and halls may have reached the level of a small city. Even after exploring for so long, Knight Byron could not complete its current "floor". Not long ago, Byron He and the exploration team also discovered two large stairs leading to the upper and lower floors in the ruins. More and more clues have proved that there are new large areas in the ruins waiting to be discovered.
Gawain in the upper section is easy to understand - that may lead to some observatory or lookout structure at the top of the Dark Mountains, but where does the lower section lead? The middle layer of the ruins has almost hollowed out the entire mountain. Could it be that the lower layer has spread to the ground?
Even as an ancient facility to study the mysteries of the gods, this scale is too large.
But no matter how big its overall scale is, quite a large part of its middle-level area has been completely explored and mapped. Knight Byron confirmed the safety and sturdiness of those areas. Gawain's next plan is to take the general territory. Some things were transferred to the ruins in the mountains.
Those vast ancient halls should not be wasted in vain. Their sturdiness and secrecy themselves are the greatest utilization value. Gao Wen plans to transfer the newly assembled heat ray gun production line, stamping armor production line and rune substrate production line there. Others need to be transferred there. Confidential things, or things that are harmful to the environment and make a lot of noise can also be transferred to the mountain. That itself is the research facility of the ancient Gondor Empire. It has advanced protective structures and sound insulation effects. The brick and tile workshops that came out were much stronger.
Gawain picked up the dip pen next to him and was about to leave some notes on one of the documents, but at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came in from outside the door.
There was a knock on the door, and after getting a response from Gawain, Betty pushed the door and walked in.
"Master!" The little maid hurriedly walked to the desk, bowed in a sign that looked like she was about to lift herself over, and said crisply, "The square in Knights Street. superior,
Someone caught a big fish! "
"Big fish?" Gao Wendeng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this girl to run over in a hurry to report such an inexplicable incident, "Why do you still need a report when you catch a fish - send it directly to the kitchen."
Betty straightened up, thought for a while, and shook her head vigorously: "It's too big to cook in one pot!"
"You can't catch a shark," Gawain laughed dumbly, "It's the fish from the Baishui River that ran down the diversion culvert to the well in Knight Street..."
"It doesn't look like it grows in the White Water River, because half of it looks like a person..."
"……What?!"
Gao Wen rushed to the square of Knight Street, and the patrolling soldiers who responded in time had already imposed martial law. A young apprentice knight wearing a commander's armor was maintaining order at the scene, and those who were blocked at the martial law line. The residents outside were curiously watching the movement here in the corners of the streets and alleys.
Gawain recognized the young commander because he had personally awarded the soldier with honors—in the first defense of Cecil, this young soldier named Kerim fought exceptionally brave, so he was appreciated, not only His rank was raised, and he was taught by Byron to become a knight apprentice.
"Sir!" Seeing Gawain, Kerim immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The situation has been brought under control, that... creature is still staying by the well."
"What the hell is going on?" Gawain frowned, "I heard that you caught a...woman who was half human and half fish?"
Kerim shook his head: "It wasn't caught, it was discovered by Miss Pea when she was fetching water - the half-fish half-human creature seemed to be hiding at the bottom of the well, and was later pulled up by the passing carpenter and apprentice. "
In Gawain's mind, the book he had seen a few days ago suddenly appeared in his mind... ahem, the biography of the knight, and he thought of the book in parallel... those "sea monsters" mentioned in the biography.
Will it be so coincidental?
He was looking forward to but couldn't believe that he would be so lucky, but he had already taken a step under his feet. He took Betty through the blockade of the soldiers and saw a few people in the small square surrounded by a temporary wooden fence. Right next to the well.
Pittman, Rebecca, Amber, Hetty... Almost everyone who is well-informed has come, and there are three craftsmen who are being questioned by soldiers and a little girl with an empty bucket, that is peas.
A strange woman was sitting lazily on the edge of the well. She had beautiful long navy blue hair, and was wearing a peculiar blue "coat" made of leather on her upper body. Her cheeks and arms were exposed. A scale-like structure can also be seen on her upper body, and her lower body... As described by Betty and Kerim, it is a beautiful fishtail with pale gold and blue patterns.
Gao Wen moved in his heart and walked forward quickly.
Rebecca and the others were curiously surrounding this strange woman at the moment, Heidi analyzed the beautiful lines on the other's tail like magic lines with a serious face, while Amber inquired about the other's origin and the purpose of visiting this place. But the half-human half-fish woman was always lazy and didn't respond to most of the questions.
"What's the situation?" Gawain asked aloud, and until he spoke next to him, the few people who were immersed in the study of seafood finally noticed his existence, and Rebecca was the first to jump up: " Lord Ancestor! This person looks like the kind of 'sea monster' you asked about before!"
Listen to her quantifier - this "strip" person! At this moment, the fusion of the two species is superb...
Pittman also turned his face, and the old Druid had a rare seriousness on his face: "My lord, I'm afraid this is really a siren - but I don't know how she got here. When she saw us just now Showed a lot of vigilance and hostility, but after we said we had no ill will, she...was less active."
Really a sea monster? !
Gawain controlled his excitement and looked curiously at the "Miss Mermaid" sitting on the edge of the well, and the latter also raised his eyelids and looked at him curiously at this time, and the two stared at each other for a little while. Yes, the tail of "Miss Mermaid" suddenly slapped on the edge of the well, and she made a pleasant but lazy voice: "Where have I seen you?"
Gawain was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic, and even wanted to dance in ecstasy.
Was this siren thrown down from the sky by the goddess of luck to solve the mystery? !
"Are you a Kraken?" Gawain took two deep breaths before he calmed down, and then immediately asked impatiently, "If so, maybe we have actually met - my name is Gawain Cecil, seven hundred years ago. Have we met?!"
"Gawain Cecil? Yawn..." Miss Mermaid yawned loudly, then rubbed her eyes, "Seven hundred years ago... I seem to have a little impression. It seems that such a human appeared at that time, but I haven't dealt with that human very much. You said that was you? Can you humans live for seven hundred years?"
Gawain didn't know how to explain for a moment: "Uh... I was resurrected recently."
Miss Mermaid blinked: "Have you developed new functions?"
Gawain: "...I can't say that either."
"It doesn't matter, I'm not familiar with you anyway," Miss Mermaid shook her head, her long sea-blue hair shone wonderfully in the sun, "I'm so sleepy, I was woken up by a bucket when I was half asleep. Now, who threw the bucket?"
Gawain glanced awkwardly at Pea not far away, but then he reacted: "Of course you will be smashed when you sleep in our well... By the way, what's your name?"
"Tyr," replied the mermaid in a muttered voice, "Is the place where I stayed just now a well?"
It can be seen that she really doesn't want to talk to people, but she is also a little interested in Gawain, so the two of them reluctantly reached an exchange, and this exchange is enough to make the people next to them amazed, Rui Bei Ka almost looked at his ancestors with admiration and reached a consensus with a fish, and couldn't help but say: "Master ancestor, did you even fish in those days?"
I don't know how she thought about it.
Gawain glanced at Rebecca dumbfounded, then looked at the Kraken who called himself "Tyr", unable to bear curiosity: "Where did you come from? Why did you come here? Do you need our help? Is it?"
"Me? I'm from the deep sea," Tyr shook his body slightly on the edge of the well, "I don't know why I came to the land of your humans... I was in the sea a few days ago fighting another group of humans. ——Then I wandered off with the large group. I swam to the house by myself, but somehow I came to this place while swimming. When I opened my eyes and saw humans everywhere, I thought I had fallen into the enemy's lair. , startled."
"Fighting a gang of humans in the sea?" Gao Wen keenly grasped the key point in this sentence, and then realized another key point, "You said that you were traveling back to your Kraken's territory. Wandering here?"
Tyre nodded: "Yes."
If the records of the legends and elves are correct, the siren is an intelligent creature living in the far sea in the east of the continent...
Gawain's face became strange: "Miss Tyre, if I guessed correctly, you... probably swim backward..."
"what?"
