Chapter 974 Siren’s Collection
"The Siren's collection?" Hao Ren was stunned after hearing Katrina's words, "Are these the drifting objects you picked up from the sea?"
"It's not just a floating object," the Siren Queen blinked, "it's something that can surprise you - what do you think, do you want to see it?"
Before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily had already jumped over: "If you want to see it, let's go see it! Landlord, let's go over and have a look..."
Hao Ren had to press Lily's head hard with his hands to stop the husky from thrusting forward. He nodded to Katrina with interest: "If you don't mind being open to outsiders like us - of course you are very interested."
"It's not an overly confidential place," Katrina smiled and turned around slightly. "Those things that were originally thrown away by people in the above world are just collected by us. Follow me and store them. The entrance to the library is near here.”
Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lily followed the Siren Queen. They bypassed the lively palace square and the old city wall, which was still a construction site. There were fewer and fewer ordinary Siren around, and the area in front of them seemed... It was extremely quiet, but there were more and more battle maids patrolling back and forth with tridents on both sides of the road, as well as siren warriors in the form of giant Pippi shrimps. Finally, they arrived at a building that looked like a subway entrance. The entire building seemed to be a sloping pipe protruding from the ground. There was a heavy black iron sluice at the entrance, and a circle of sparkling water was surrounding the sluice. Gem, there were several armed sentries patrolling around the sluice, and the festive atmosphere in the city did not spread to the place at all.
Hao Ren blinked: "Didn't you say this is not a confidential place..."
"It is indeed not very secret, but there are still necessary guards." The Siren Queen waved to the guards at the door. The sentries bowed respectfully and then went to open the floodgates. "Perhaps the people on land have already These things are forgotten, but for us, these are the best collections."
A string of bubbles emerged from around the sluice. Accompanied by the creaking sound of mechanical operation, the heavy gate slowly opened to both sides, revealing a shimmering passage. It seems to lead to the depths of Nasatorn.
Katrina swam in front, leading the three of them into the "treasure house" cherished by the sirens. After entering the passage, Hao Ren noticed that there were many tangled pipes on the surrounding walls and ceilings, and some of them glowed faintly. The wiring is hidden behind those pipes. Katrina explained this place: "This was originally a mechanical cabin down here. We never knew what it was used for. We only know that all the machines are broken. Now I think it was probably damaged when the spacecraft crashed here. . Later, we cleared out the debris in the mechanical room, repaired the leaks, and transformed it into a storage warehouse."
The road ahead suddenly opened up, and an underground space of astonishing size appeared in front of Hao Ren.
"In the past ten thousand years, countless strange things have fallen into the sea. They were first thrown away by aliens. Later, humans began to move in the ocean, and their things accounted for the majority. The number of lost objects that fell into the ocean was staggering, and Kraken is a very curious species. When the sisters go out to play, they will pick up the most interesting things and take them home. This is how the anchors, mines, and propellers you see in the city come from. Over time, this As we get more and more stuff, we regularly throw the less interesting stuff into the trench, while the most interesting stuff is hidden in this collection.”
The huge underground space can still vaguely see the appearance of the old mechanical cabin. There are still traces of some pipes and fixed latches on the steel walls extending out on both sides. But now the mechanical cabin has been emptied, and the empty space left is full of piles. A staggering amount of debris. Countless shelves and stacks are neatly stacked, with aisles of about three meters between each other, and eye-catching signs are placed in front of each stack. Hao Ren couldn't help but be stunned when he saw all this. He realized that this was probably the richest and largest exhibition hall on the planet - a full ten thousand years of history, the entire planet's ocean collection, including all human beings. The lost belongings of the race are all piled up in this place, sorted and neatly organized!
If any naturalist or collector saw the scene here, they would probably faint from excitement immediately!
"This..." Hao Ren opened his mouth, but the first question that popped up was, "Um, why did you suddenly think of showing us this?"
Although this treasure house is not a secret place according to Katrina, there should be no reason to open it to outsiders casually. Although Hao Ren has a good relationship with the Sirens, there must be a special reason why the Siren Queen suddenly brought him here to visit.
Sure enough, Katrina raised her hand and pointed to the depths of the collection. A sea monster poked its head out from behind a large pile of debris. It turned out to be Mrs. Nangong Elsa.
"Elsa's request," Katrina smiled, "she said that you should be very interested in these things - about what happened in the history of this planet, and the changes of alien races in these ten thousand years, If you are investigating these, the Siren's collection can be of some help."
Hao Ren suddenly realized. The Siren Queen didn't know much about his work, but she probably knew that he was very concerned about the history of civilization, and she also knew that he and Vivian had been actively investigating alien situations on the earth. At this time, Elsa came forward. She asked him and Vivian to see the Siren Collection, and Katrina naturally agreed.
"How are you, are you interested in these things?" Elsa swam over from behind a row of shelves, followed by Nangong Wudi, "I haven't been to this collection library for a long time... I still remember it many years ago. I like this place the most, there are at least ten items in the collection that I found.”
"I'm interested, I'm so interested!" Hao Ren rubbed his hands and looked around at the objects from various historical periods and races, his eyes gleaming, "Even if you can't learn anything from these things, just look around. That’s enough for me to brag about for half a year! This...hey, by the way, why didn’t March 8th and May come?”
Nangong Wudi shook his head: "They are looking after Doudou outside, and they don't have much interest in this place."
Hao Ren pulled Vivian and Lily to the neat shelves and stacks, as if browsing through periods of time that had solidified. Lily's eyes widened, and she clamped her tail carefully, for fear of damaging any precious cultural relics here: "Speaking of which, do you know these bats?"
While looking at the historical relics that had been lying under the water for who knows how many years, Vivian looked at them with emotion and replied casually: "How can we all know each other... But many things can still be roughly judged about their age and origin. For example, this plate , should be something from three to four hundred years ago, from Europe."
Vivian said, pointing to a delicate white porcelain plate, which was placed together with two old-fashioned flintlock pistols. Despite their age, thanks to the special antiseptic treatment of the Siren, all these things remained as clean as new. state. After seeing these things, Katrina said casually: "In 1647, a French merchant ship encountered pirates on the high seas. This plate was one of the captain's collections, and the captain happened to be one of the few humans who knew black magic at that time. So his obsession after death remained on this piece of porcelain, a small plate, which caused the sinking of three pirate ships, until it finally fell into the sea with the last ship, and no one could fish it out again. .”
Hao Ren was surprised: "Do you know black magic or let the pirates kill you?"
"When the speed of your incantation is not as fast as the flying speed of bricks, all magic is nonsense," Lily hugged her arms and said proudly, "Wasn't the bat knocked down by my two bricks..."
"How many times have I told you not to mention this!" Vivian suddenly glared at Lily, "Wasn't I malnourished back then! And I've never seen a werewolf throw bricks in my 10,000 years of life. I just couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden. How about your way!"
Katrina looked at Vivian and Lily curiously, but didn't ask anything. She just pointed at the shelves arranged far away: "These shelves are arranged according to age, and human creations and alien creations are marked respectively. . Take a look for yourselves, you may be able to find something useful to you."
"Do you have anything for the witcher?" Vivian asked casually.
Katrina nodded and pointed to the corner of the collection: "The sea is so vast that anything will be swallowed up by it. The earliest relics of the demon hunters are in that direction, including the giant bow that once shot down the Sun Ship and the bow that killed Hydra. That sword."
Hao Ren was immediately in awe of the Krakens: What a bunch of collectors these are!
