The city of Kraken, Nasathorn, is a mysterious city completely hidden under the Pacific Ocean. It existed here countless centuries ago. The glory of that city even predates the mythical era on the surface. Except for the Kraken
, no one knows how to get to that city. No matter the advanced detection technology of modern humans or the powerful alien gods of the past, they have never successfully set foot in Nasatorn. Some people speculate that the entire city is located at the bottom of a deep sea fissure.
, the plumes of smoke produced by submarine volcanoes hide its whereabouts, and some people speculate that Kraken builds huge invisible barriers over their homes to prevent outsiders from prying - but in fact these speculations are incorrect.
Nasathorn is located on the earth, but not entirely on the earth. It is sandwiched in a space crack that intersects with the real world. The closure of the curvature of space makes the city invisible to all observation methods, or even impossible at all.
Arrival. Only the Sirens hold the secret to opening the city's gates - in the past ten thousand years, only extremely limited visitors have been allowed to enter Nasathorn, including some alien scholars and some lucky humans.
, and those who were lucky enough to visit Nasathorn often passed down a few words about this miraculous city to later generations.
It's just that the stories they handed down are basically regarded as dreams and are eventually presented to future generations in the form of myths, legends and folk tales.
"Inside the space gap?" After hearing Shakira's description, Vivian was very interested, "How did you build that kind of thing? It took many generations to build a similar shadow in the Athens Sanctuary.
City. And it also leaves loopholes that can be broken through. How did Nasatorn achieve complete concealment?"
"I don't know about that," Shakeela shrugged. "Since I was born, there has been a blue water dome above my head. The whole city seems to have been lying in the cracks in space in that state from the beginning. No one has talked about it.
Who was the original builder of the city? Few people would take the initiative to ask this."
Hao Ren turned his head slightly while driving: "Let me ask something, it may be a little offensive - isn't the Kraken immortal? Are there no old people in the city who have lived since the beginning of the city's construction? They should know that the city is
Who made it?"
"The Kraken is indeed immortal, but we will actively choose to 'recycle' at the right time and return to the water body to complete the new life." Shakira vaguely mentioned the life cycle of the Kraken. Then she shook her head, "There is indeed such a thing
Elders, although few in number, do exist. But they never talk about the origin of the city - one of the rules of Nasatorn is not to talk about the past. We abide by the commandments and live quietly.
, not disturbing anyone and not being disturbed by anyone, and this cycle continues for a long time, as if the city is eternal...until the Queen orders people to go ashore."
"Do you occasionally allow outsiders to visit your city?" Elizabeth leaned on the back of Shakira's seat and stretched her head vigorously. "Do you usually understand the outside world?"
"Very few, but like I just said, there are indeed exceptions," Shakeela nodded slightly. "We are also curious about the outside world, so we occasionally communicate with the surface. In the past, we would also do it every few hundred
A few sentries were sent to travel to the surface every year to gain more knowledge. The sentries used deep-water orbs to record the conditions of the outside world and brought them back to everyone. In ancient times...that is, the era of myths you call, we also established short-lived relationships with some alien families near the sea.
A covenant of time, but soon they all died."
Vivian smiled: "What do you think of the surface world?"
"In the early days, the surface world was a bit boring, and many things changed very slowly. People have been using bronze for thousands of years. It took us two batches of sentinels to see them change from bronze to iron, and
Those large families who claim to be gods change even more slowly than humans. Many times our sentinels come ashore after a thousand years, and they still pass the time by watching humans fight and fight with beasts. But then the changes in the surface world accelerated.
The end of the mythical age is beyond everyone's expectations. The rise of demon hunters and humans far exceeds the collapse of the mythical age. Every time the sentinels come ashore, they will see a new human kingdom. The spokespersons of the surface world are always there.
Change, then machines and industry... Although it is still not as great as Nasatorn, the skills that humans have displayed in the past hundred years are really amazing."
Vivian nodded sympathetically: "Yes, I think so too - the world is changing faster and faster. In the past, when I woke up from my sleep, should humans use bronze or bronze, and should they use iron or iron, but
Later, when I woke up, they changed from windmills to steam engines, and as soon as I took a nap, they began to electrify. Now I don’t dare to sleep, for fear that I will accidentally oversleep and wake up to find that there are no people on the earth, only the remaining
Several transmitting towers stand there, and all mankind has immigrated to Sagittarius."
Hao Ren listened to the coke: "Look at what you said, how exaggerated it is."
Vivian snorted: "You can't empathize with me, but I tell you this is all true. There is no good in sleeping in. I used to know a vampire named Audrian, after the myth collapsed.
One of the fierce generals who survived to modern times, he got an ancient treasure once, and then he was going to retreat to sleep to absorb the power, but he fell asleep directly."
Lily was shocked: "How can you still sleep to death while sleeping?"
Vivian shrugged: "In 1950, he went to Novaya Zemlya, dug a hole and slept there. Over the next 40 years, the Soviets dropped more than 200 nuclear bombs there. No one knew where the unlucky thing was.
He finished playing when there was an explosion, so he probably died completely the first time. Anyway, I have never seen him since then, so he must have died into ashes."
Hao Ren's face was covered in cold sweat: "..."
"So it's best not to pick up treasures and then practice in seclusion for hundreds of years," Vivian sighed. "It was okay in peaceful times or the slow-paced times before, but doing this now is courting death. Human beings
The speed of development is like taking drugs. In just a few years, they have evolved from queuing to shoot to intercontinental missiles. If you really find a place to retreat and practice for hundreds of years, you may not be able to have the earth bombed by humans while you are in retreat. With human beings
With this ability to seek death, I won’t be surprised if they blow up the earth any time - so the smartest thing among contemporary aliens is to stare at the news and newspapers, ready to follow the large troops to evacuate at any time... Why don’t you say anything?"
Hao Ren patted Vivian's shoulder: "I think it's best to find a way to cure your narcolepsy if you have the chance."
Shakeela next to her had a dull face and said nothing. As a siren who had only seen the surface of the earth for hundreds of years, she was embarrassed to say anything at this time.
Later that day, the team arrived at the scheduled sea point. This is a desolate and gravel-strewn pristine beach, far away from cities and highways. Human development here has not yet begun, so there is no need to worry about causing supernatural phenomena here.
Unnecessary attention. There are some steep granite walls next to the coastline. The layers of impact marks on the rock walls record the changes of time here. Seeing the scene here, Shakeela couldn't help but sigh: "I remember a hundred
When I first landed a few years ago, there were many coastlines like this... There was a cliff similar to this where I landed. But now it has become more and more troublesome to find a place where no one is paying attention to swim in the sea."
Hao Ren put away the vehicle and stretched his arms facing the sea and took a deep breath. The open ocean scenery here made people feel happy, and the cool sea breeze with a slightly fishy smell was also particularly pleasant. Nangong Wuyue was doing the same stretching posture next to him,
The expression on his face was full of joy but also a bit uneasy.
Hao Ren noticed this keenly: "A little nervous?"
"I'm afraid of being close to home," Nangong Wuyue smiled. "My mother has kept me away from the deep sea since I was a child. I'm afraid she really foresaw the changes in Nasa Torn from the beginning. But now I finally want to break my mother's
Reprimand...I hope she won't blame me."
Hao Ren smiled: "She is just worried that something will happen to you. If we guarantee your safety, then your mother will not blame anyone."
"Go" felt a little uneasy after getting off the car. She squatted down close to Vivian's feet, stared at the vast sea with wide eyes, and meowed softly and nervously: This was the first time she had seen it.
to the sea.
"Hurry up, we can reach the first resting island before nightfall. Of course, if you are not tired, we can go directly to the center of the Pacific without stopping," Shakira squinted her eyes and felt the sea breeze.
The message, "Today is a good day for a trip to the sea."
As she spoke, a layer of water rippled around Shakira, and she was about to change her form and send everyone into the sea, but at this moment, the data terminal suddenly came out of Hao Ren's pocket: "Wait a minute! There is a space anomaly.
——Someone teleported here!"
Vivian immediately frowned, and she read the familiar magic frequency from the turbulence in the surrounding space.
"Be alert, it's a witcher!"
