To be honest, when Tyre suddenly emerged from the water, Gao Wen was really shocked by the creature like a sirens. It seemed that it was essentially an elemental body. When this seabird was hidden in the water, it had no breath at all. This guy suddenly popped up. If Gao Wen had a brick in his hand, he should have already shouted up at this time...

After calming down, Gao Wen looked at Tyre who was swimming in the water: "What are you doing in the river so late?"

"I'm not in the river, is it on the shore?" Tyr responded with confidence, "I'm a siren, water element."

"...This makes sense..." Gao Wen touched his chin, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait, if I remember correctly, you should be guiding workers at the shipyard at this time, right?"

Tyre has now become a technical consultant for ships in the territory. Although she will still buy all possible time to make up for her sleep, according to reports from her subordinates, the caterpillar monster is indeed working hard at the shipyard.

Like most factories in the territory, the shipyards also implement a three-shift rotation system. While the craftsmen work overtime to repair the ships seized from the nobles of the South to cope with the increasing pressure on river transportation during the large-scale construction after the Southern War, they worked hard to learn Siren's voyage technology under the guidance of Tyr and study how to make new ships. At this time, if Gao Wen remembers correctly, Tyr should stay in the shipyard...

"Ahhh... I've finished all the work scheduled today. Now they are testing the strength of several materials. I don't need to stare at them. Moreover, I'm not familiar with the materials you people on land," Tyre said as he swam to the shore, starlight shining on her long wet hair, with a wonderful layer of brilliance, "and then I came out early..."

Gao Wen was speechless for a moment: "Didn't this still slip out..."

"No one noticed it again," Tyre shook his head indifferently, "I secretly flowed out of the drain pipe..."

Gao Wen: "…"

Did this caterpillar monster really not realize that the biggest boss in front of him was the one he had? This guy told him about his sneaking in front of him, and there was no psychological pressure at all...

Gao Wen couldn't help but feel curious about the social form and customs of the Siren. He squatted down and looked at Tyre who was soaked in the water leisurely: "Are you Siren all as heartless as you? Do you usually... have something to worry about?"

"Heartless? I don't think...but it's probably the case in your eyes," Tyre slapped his tail hard in the water, jumped out of the water, slapped on the ground next to Gao Wen like a salted fish, and then slapped his tail while slapping it, "Our race... can live for a long time and have experienced a lot of things. I've seen too much, so it seems a little different from you. Compared with the sirens, even the so-called immortal elves are a very young race... Alas, I finally turned over."

Gao Wen glanced at the salted fish that had been slamming on the shore for a long time before turning over. He really couldn't see the background and temperament of the so-called "ancient race of deep sea" from such a funny guy, but he knew that what Tyre said was the facts: as an ancient race that had witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations on land one after another, this group of deep sea salted fish had sufficient qualifications to regard any species on land as a "child".

At this point, I'm afraid only his satellite essence can compete with the deep-sea salted fish.

But he did not intend to discuss any ancient topics with Tyre, but turned his attention to the banks of the Baishui River, illuminated by the brilliance of the magic crystal stone lamp. After a moment of silence, he asked: "I have lived here for more than a year. What do you think of this place?"

"It develops very fast, has good order, and there are many strange things. Although it is not advanced, your technical route can still inspire me," Tyr supported his body with a fish tail and commented in a pertinent manner. "But there are many hidden dangers, and basically they are caused by the rapid development."

Gao Wen looked at Tyre with great interest: "What about specific?"

"If you don't feel harsh, I'll tell you," Tyre patted his tail indifferently. "You've gone so far that only a few people have really followed your pace. Most of the people in the ruling organs you formed only know what to do, but not why to do it. Your population and territory expand too quickly, and the order in remote areas will inevitably be chaotic. Before you cultivate enough administrative personnel, this chaos is unsolvable; your army is strong but lacks real tempering, and they don't see enough blood, and they need more tests of war; your territory develops very fast, but it will always slow down one day, and once it slows down, those industries that rely on the dividends brought by rapid development will have problems. I can see so many of them."

Gao Wen looked at Tyre with a little surprise: "I didn't expect you to observe so much..."

"I'm just lazy, not blind, and I usually read newspapers, although it's a bit troublesome to get the newspaper wet," Tyre said, looking at Gao Wen, "But then... you actually know these hidden dangers yourself."

"How could you not know?" Gao Wen smiled helplessly and admitted Tyre's statement frankly, "But if there are hidden dangers, you have to develop. Stagnation will not face hidden dangers. That will lead to the destruction of the country and the family."

"Anyway, you have laid a rock fortress and have a foundation to make up for these hidden dangers. As long as you develop and digest it safely, these shortcomings will be slowly made up."

Gao Wen didn't expect that this deep-sea salted fish would analyze something so seriously and discuss it with him so seriously. However, he also knew that this was the way Tyre showed "sincerity" in recent times, this deep-sea salted fish would go to several research departments almost every day. For this reason, she even greatly reduced her sleep time. Obviously, the arcane energy control technology behind the "Rainbow Cannon" is really important to the Siren who are trapped in a technical bottleneck. When facing racial interests, even Tyre, who was lazy and died almost in place, will become reliable.

"It's good to have this digestion time," Gao Wen couldn't help but mutter softly, and then asked a question with some curiosity, "Actually, there is something I've always been curious about in the long years when you Siren observed land civilization, and the life and death of civilizations were clear and destroyed one after another. Isn't there really no civilization to resist the demon tide?"

This question is really important. Gao Wen really wants to confirm one thing: Is the demon tide really unsolvable for mortals?

Since the Siren observed the land, the rise and fall of civilizations over the past ten seasons, countless intelligent or brave races have been active on this land. Have they all been destroyed by the demon tide?

Faced with the questions raised by Gao Wen, Tyre rarely showed a hint of hesitation and entanglement.

Gao Wen captured the subtle changes in Tyre's expression: "Is there any hidden truth?"

"It's not actually a hidden truth, but there's something we can't confirm yet," Tyre gently patted the rock under his body with his fishtail. "I believe you are a rational and calm person, so I'm going to tell you about a phenomenon we've discovered."

Gao Wen's expression became solemn, and he listened quietly to Tyre's story.

Tyre's first sentence made him look surprised: "...In fact, not all civilizations were destroyed by the demon tide. Some of them died for various reasons before the demon tide broke out, while others... suddenly disappeared after surviving the demon tide. I mean the real great demon tide."

According to Tyre, there are two types of demon tides. The demon tide that the Gondor Empire experienced seven hundred years ago can only be said to be a small-scale "ripples". When the real great demon tide comes, the whole world will be earth-shaking, which is truly irresistible.

So Gao Wen was immediately surprised: "Any one who has successfully withstood the big demon tide?"

"Yes, and more than one," Tyr said seriously, "they found protection technology that could resist the demon tide, or found the law of the demon tide's change, and built a safe zone in advance. There was even a race that completed the life form transformation of the entire clan before the demon tide arrived. They all survived when the demon tide arrived. We used to think that those civilizations were probably fine... But in the end, they suddenly perished after the demon tide ended."

"Suddenly perish?" Gowen heard a deep meaning from Tyre's words, "In other words, you don't know the reason?"

"It seems that a huge war suddenly broke out, but we can't see who we are fighting with. Our observers have also gone ashore to investigate the situation, but found that the stored information of the land civilization was basically destroyed. Even if we found some information, there were only crazy crazy words on it. In addition, we have also observed super-large-scale collective suicide and burial phenomena...it is completely unclear."

Gao Wen frowned tightly. This was something he had never thought about before, but he still vaguely remembered... When he was hanging in the sky as a satellite spirit, he did observe the war spreading across the continent, and even a war that was enough to destroy all countries on the continent...

Although his observations were severely intermittent at that time and could not piece together a complete development process from the messy pictures, the existence of those pictures was enough to prove that what Tyre said was true.

It is not just the demon tide that destroys the civilization on the continent.

"Our ability to observe on land is limited, because we will also be affected by the demon tide, the Siren will not die when the demon tide arrives, but our equipment will be greatly disturbed, and the ocean itself will become very dangerous and difficult to control. Therefore, we are not sure what happened before and after the demon tide. There is only one thing we can determine: as long as the civilization on land develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably encounter extinction disasters, and there is a bottleneck waiting there, and this bottleneck... should appear after the demon tide ends."

Bottleneck, an invisible bottleneck, or... a trap.

"It looks like a trap, right?" Tyr's voice came from the side, hitting what Gao Wen thought. The Siren lady supported herself with her fishtail and looked up at the night sky full of stars. "Civilizations are like sailing in a dark ocean. We Siren looked from afar, watching their lights flashing in the dark sea, some of which were swallowed by the storm, and some were extinguished before the storm came, and those who had managed to rush through the storm area... before we could congratulate them, they suddenly went out. This is a terrible world. There is a big vortex in the dark ocean that cannot be seen by the naked eye, which will suddenly swallow the careless voyager, so we gave this mysterious and terrible phenomenon a name.

"We call it the 'black trap', a trap in the dark sea."
