Chapter 928 Warning
Carmel's remarks made Gawain look contemplative.
He had heard some racial culture and traditions about sirens from Tyre, so he was no stranger to the concept of "Eva".
Unlike most races on land, sirens have not had any concept of "gods" since ancient times. They do not worship any gods, nor do they believe that any absolutely transcendent individual is some kind of creator/savior/guide , in their cultural system, the only "god" similar to the land race is "Eva", but they never think that Eva is a god - Tyre spent a long time talking to Gawain Explain what Eva is, because it is a difficult concept for terrestrial races to understand, and Gawain summed up one of the most important key points after listening to Tyre’s introduction:
Eva is the collection of all the Krakens. They treat their entire race as a whole, just like a large number of cells gathered together. These cells give themselves a name to this huge and complex cell aggregate and call it— -people.
This peculiar worldview is probably related to their "deep sea belonging" culture, that is, all things originate from the deep sea, all things belong to the deep sea, and all things gather into one in the deep sea.
Therefore, the Kraken does not, and will never have the concept of worshipping gods - the greatest and most extraordinary existence in their minds, that is, an extra-large Kraken.
From Gawain's point of view, the Krakens are probably a wonderful race that maintains their individual will, yet recognizes the world like a swarm of insects.
He frowned slightly and looked at Carmel: "What do you mean, the reason why the Song of the Deep Sea and the Rune of the Deep Sea can produce a mental protection effect is because it essentially mobilizes the power of 'Eva', which is 'Eva' Are you helping us fight divine pollution?"
"It's very likely." Carmel nodded.
Gawain still frowned: "But what is the reason why the Kraken's 'Eva' can fight against divine pollution?"
"About this... I just mentioned that for our 'gods', the essence of 'Eva' may be equivalent to an 'foreign god'," Kamal said slowly, considering his vocabulary, " You should remember that Miss Till once said that she and her clan were not the original inhabitants of our planet, they came from a place completely different from our planet's environment."
"I remember," Gawain nodded, "and I heard her describe the tool that the siren used to come to this world, it was very much like some kind of 'ship' that could be used to span long distances between stars - like Astrologers in the time of Gondor were the same as the 'starships' conceived by scholars. But it is clear that the scale of that thing is countless times larger than the starships imagined by anthropologists 700 years ago."
Carmel nodded slowly: "Yes,
Some kind of aircraft used to cross the starry sky, it sounds like the Krakens are from another planet, but I talked to Miss Till a few times recently, and I heard her describe the situation in her hometown, describing the Krakens in this The troubles of surviving in the world...I have a bolder guess. "
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows: "A bolder guess?"
"The Krakens have gone through a very long 'adaptation period' on our planet. They even lost their bodies for a while, and they regained their mobility after 're-aggregation' on the seabed in the most primitive elemental form for an unknown number of years... This is beyond the concept of 'the natural environment of the two planets is different', and considering that elemental creatures are innately immune to the influence of the magic tide, the problems they encounter should not be some kind of 'magic tide sequelae', so... I guess They may have come from a place that is 'farther away' than we think, even so far away...to the extent that the basic laws of the world are different."
Gawain's face suddenly became serious: "Continue talking."
"If it is because of the different basic laws that the Kraken is 'incompatible' with our world, then their 'Eva' must be the same. In their world, I am afraid there is no so-called 'divine pollution' or 'belief chains' , and there is no such thing as a 'spirit seal'. The 'Eva' born in this situation may be a god who has 'already' broken free from the bondage... No, strictly speaking, it should be a god 'God-like individuals', because their 'Eva' will not receive prayers at all, nor will they produce any belief feedback, and they will not be able to establish substantial connections with believers...
"If the above conjecture holds true, then the effect of the Deep Sea Song and the Deep Sea Rune makes sense: they direct pollution to a 'regular anomaly'. There was an old Gondor proverb, 'The floods of this world cannot wash away the underworld. feathers', because the two are not in the same dimension, and the pollution of our world... obviously cannot affect an alien individual."
"The pollution of our world can't affect individuals from other places..." Gawain thought quickly, and gradually became suspicious, "But one thing, the Song of the Deep Sea and those runes can in turn affect people in our world— Isn't that invigorating effect a real one?"
"We're still analysing this, but Miss Jenny has a guess," Kamal said. "She doesn't think the joy and exhilaration we feel in Deep Song and Deep Rune may not be due to 'Eva' psychic effects, which may have been a by-product of some kind of 'connection making'..."
"A by-product of establishing a connection?" Gawain looked curiously at Jenny who didn't speak much beside him, "What connection?"
"The 'connection' between the sirens," Jenny replied immediately, and then explained her views while sorting out the language, "The siren is an elemental creature, although it may be an elemental creature from 'another world', But they also have characteristics similar to the elemental creatures in our world, that is, 'resonance', which is a phenomenon that will inevitably occur after pure elements approach each other. I also confirmed from Miss Tyre that the sirens can Feel the emotions of your fellow clan to a certain extent, and this emotional resonance will be more obvious when you communicate with the song of the deep sea or the 'Tentacle Twist Dance'..."
Gawain wanted to be serious the whole time, but he didn't hold back all of a sudden: "What kind of thing is the tentacle twirling dance..."
"...This is Miss Till's original words," Jenny's face was also a little strange, "it just turned into a bunch of tentacles and then twisted and swayed with the same family..."
"Okay, don't explain it, just understand the meaning roughly," Gawain interrupted the other party with a wave of his hand, "All in all, there is some kind of basic 'telepathy' between the Kraken, although it can't directly transmit information like a spiritual network, but Emotions can be shared among the sirens - so, those runes and songs..."
As he spoke, he looked at Jenny, who nodded: "Yes, those runes and songs bring us to the 'collective mood' of the siren - the excitement and pleasure that the user feels does not come from Iraq. The baby's 'positive mental pollution', but just... felt the good mood of the Krakens."
Gao Wen was stunned, and suddenly subconsciously pressed his forehead: "So those deep-sea salted fish are always so happy..."
"We can now explain why there are sequelae such as 'squid mania' after long-term exposure to deep-sea runes," Carmel said, spreading his hands. "This is also the result of emotional resonance."
Gawain nodded slowly, and gradually straightened out the conjectures of Carmel and Jenny. Then he suddenly thought of something: "If the ability of those runes and songs to resist pollution comes from the siren and the world's" Out of place', does this mean that if the Kraken fully adapts and integrates into this world, this resistance will also disappear? Now that Eva has occupied the position of the god of the storm, the Kraken is obviously gradually adapting this world!"
"To be honest, this possibility cannot be ruled out," Carmel said in a serious tone. "The 'adaptation' of the sirens may cause them to lose a unique 'advantage', which is indeed a bit contradictory and a bit ironic. possibility. But I don't think it's going to be that simple, at least not anytime soon.
"First of all, there is an obvious evidence: the 'race' of the sirens has occupied the position of the god of the storm, and their 'Eva' has now substantially become the god of the storm, and has a large number of 'Naga' as believers , but neither ordinary sirens nor their 'Eva' showed any contamination of divinity, which shows that their 'adaptation' and 'pollution' are not a simple exchange relationship.
"Secondly, even if the sirens adapt to the rules of our world, it does not mean that they are exactly the same as the original inhabitants of our world. The adaptability of creatures changes according to the cyclic environment, and only those that actually affect survival are Environmental factors will cause the adaptive evolution of organisms, and whether 'Eva' produces divine pollution obviously does not affect the daily survival of the Kraken. Therefore, the most likely situation is that the Kraken will eventually adapt to the environment of our world, But their 'Eva' doesn't change - because the laws of nature don't affect them."
Gawain nodded slowly while listening. He agreed with Carmel's theory, but in the end he said with a serious expression: "Even so, we have to be prepared."
"Yes, always plan for the worst," Carmel said in a deep voice, "the protection 'borrowed' from the Kraken may fail, and even if there is no possibility of failure, we cannot put all the All the hope is on the Krakens - although they are indeed reliable and friendly allies, but as you said, 'other people's after all.' Moreover, we can not only have a deck of cards. "
"Therefore, your progress on the mental protection system is very important, which brings us more possibilities," Gawain nodded slightly and said slowly, "We understand enough about the principle that we can It is possible to develop mental protection technology that is entirely your own, while also avoiding the impact of technological black boxes... This last point is particularly important."
As he spoke, he sighed softly, and his tone was not without worry: "Now our mental protection technology is based on the deep sea rune. In the long run, it actually points to an 'unknown individual'. If we can't To explain it technically, it is likely to trigger people's reverence for mysterious and unknown forces, and then generate some kind of 'worship trend', although this possibility is very small, but we should also avoid any possibility of this aspect."
Gawain's reminder obviously produced the biggest warning to the former disobedient Carmel. The radiance flowing from the latter's body was slightly still for a moment, and then the arcane master lowered his head, with a hint of awe in his tone: "Yes, we will definitely keep that in mind."
Gawain nodded, then glanced at the holographic projection floating in the research room, as well as the busy technicians everywhere.
"It is necessary for us to synchronize this information to our Kraken allies - although they may have already realized that they are 'out of place' with this world and are also studying the issue of 'adaptation', we must be frank enough manner."
Carmel and Jenny said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Gawain sighed and looked at Carmel: "Next, let's talk about... things related to God. I got a lot of information from Amoen."
...
Hetty was sitting in her office, the magic web terminal set aside was working silently, and the printing device connected to the magic web terminal was spitting out text from a distance.
The Imperial Chief Druid Pitman was sitting in a chair not far from her.
"One after another, mages have begun to report the situation of the goddess of magic 'lost contact' to the supernatural affairs department of the government affairs office," Hetty took the report spit out from the printer, glanced at the general content at the beginning, and felt slightly He shook his head and said in a low voice, "Although most of the mages are shallow believers or even pan-believers of the goddess of magic, and there are no particularly devout and fanatical believers, the 'disconnection' of the gods still makes many people uneasy."
"If this state of unclear intelligence continues for a while, they will be even more uneasy," Pittman said casually. "Thinking about it, they are just uneasy now. This is the best situation."
"We will announce the news soon," Hetty put down the report, "according to the meaning of the ancestors, we will hold a high-profile meeting of the top mages, and then directly announce the news that the goddess of magic has fallen for unknown reasons... ...and then rely on the guidance of public opinion and a series of official activities to gradually divert everyone's attention and smooth the transition of events ... But I am still worried that there will be too much chaos."
"There's bound to be a certain level of chaos and turmoil, and that's something you don't even want to avoid - the goddess of magic is literally gone, and we can't, and certainly don't want to recreate it out of thin air to appease people," Pete said. Man waved his hand, "It may be the quickest and most effective way to announce the news directly. What we need at this time is fast, and everyone needs an answer, even if the answer is bad, as long as the follow-up official announcements and public opinion guidance can keep up. , it can all come to an end after a chaotic but short process.”
Having said that, the old Druid smiled and added a few words: "And don't underestimate the ability of human beings to adapt and accept... The fall of the white star three thousand years ago caused a greater impact than today. Yimen is not a shallow believer like a mage, but hasn't everything ended smoothly?
"In the end, for the vast majority of people who are not so devout in their beliefs, God is really a concept that is too far away. When the gods leave... life must continue."
