MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 14 arrested
Mushrooms' eyes are not open or closed, and their simple visual organs do not have the ability to close. This is somewhat similar to fish. When resting, the eyes of fish remain the same as when they are awake, but the brain no longer receives signals from the outside. Of course, the premise of this analogy is that mushrooms have a brain or a perception center.
The joys, sorrows, pains, and pleasures that can be shared among intelligent creatures all come from their similar thinking cores, so that it is difficult for people to imagine how plants can respond to gaps in their bodies without pain. Pain, it's reminiscent of numbness. Numbness, numbness and dullness, are plants always dull? Those who know them will probably object.
Plants are by no means rigid, they are strangely sharp, different from animals. So what about Mushroom? This kind of existence between animals and plants, are they keen, or where is their keenness reflected?
This is the primary consideration when getting to know a new group of unknown foes and friends, and many wizards call this first contact. The first contact requires caution and adaptability, and the teachers in the City of All Laws will teach the apprentices like this. However, the first contact in the true sense is rare. People accumulate knowledge and pass information. The news of a creature will be known to others more or less, even if it is a rumor, it can be regarded as a superficial impression.
The same is true for the gray robes. Their knowledge reserve far exceeds that of apprentices at the same age, and their long-term learning has also made them accustomed to relying on their own knowledge to sort out problems. Just as Cheese did with the Rat Man, he compared the differences between humans and Rat Man through anatomy, and compared Rat Man's knowledge with that of humans to establish a first impression.
It's just that this time Cheese can't kidnap a mushroom man and dissect it. His thirst for knowledge is not so strong, and his subtle sense of morality does not allow him to do so. Fortunately, speaking of the first contact, Cheese should be considered to be more experienced among the gray robes. He is always in touch with those taboos that no one has ever touched, isn't it?
"Even the mad believers of the evil gods don't necessarily know their gods better than I do. After all, he only worships one, and I have to deal with a group. The more you see, the more experience you will have."
This is what Cheese had said to Grand Duke Fierhammer, who inquired about the Mother of the Crypt during his six years in the ravine. Mushroom Guren is not an evil god, even if it is expected to be a group of scrolls in the worst case, it is not difficult to deal with them.
The steps are very light. In fact, there is no need, because the rain is too heavy, even if the giant walks by, I am afraid that no one will be able to find it, but the physical state and attitude are inseparable, there is no one who can really relax the inner tense, if there is, he Tightness and relaxation are also relative.
Cheese, who thought he was moving carefully, went to the other side of the window to get a better view of the scene in the window, where he could avoid the mushrooms in the window.
Looking through the simple wooden windows, the interior of the room is somewhat similar to a cowshed or a horse pen. Except for the roof and walls, there is nothing but columns in the room, which makes people wonder if it has been abandoned for many years.
After all, if it weren't for a barren house, why would there be a layer of black soil on the ground, and the soil is still buried with various rotten fruits, animal dung, and even bones?
Oh, I'm afraid it's the other way around, it's because, it's because someone uses it, that this fertilizer is collected and carpeted all over the house. And those who enjoy this layer of fertilizer carpet are huge mushrooms. They look nothing strange except that they are bigger.
Mimic? Is it a mimesis for the Mushroom Man to pretend to be Mushroom when he's not moving? This may be worth discussing among the mages of all methods, but it is of little significance to Cheese. He just needs to know that Mushroom Gu who lives here is likely to open his hands and feet and start dancing in the next second. It looks like they are resting and possibly growing, as do humans, and children's development is always accompanied by sleep.
The magic aura was very weak in the bottom of his eyes, and Cheese didn't see anything wrong on the fertilizer carpet. No matter what the composition of the fertilizer was, they were no longer magical. From this point of view, there seems to be no problem with this village. Cheese withdrew his gaze and looked at the other buildings around him. He carefully walked through the water, avoiding the possible sight of the tree mother.
The situation in other rooms is similar, the difference may be that the number and size of mushrooms in different rooms are different, but there will definitely be a big mushroom in the center of the room where the little mushroom is located. As for the cemetery and other facilities, Cheese has not seen it. For plants, it may be enough to return to the soil.
A simple species, a simple village. This is the judgment made by Cheese. There is no altar, no burial pit. Due to the particularity of the mushroom species, they live very peacefully. So far, the situation here is only one thing that puzzles him, and that is how did they build this village, if that's all they need to live on?
You must know that although birds and insects are often referred to as architectural experts in nature, the buildings here have obvious artificial traces and are not works that can be completed by instinct. To build this town, at least tools are needed, so at least there should be a place to put tools, right?
"Maybe they didn't build this place." Cheese walked to the hut where Yuni and Pinwei were, and made a judgment on the last anomaly in his heart. He turned into the window and wanted to lift the illusion he had set up, but then the wooden staff pressed against the mage's chin.
Mushroom Gu is difficult to associate with the word momentum, even if it holds a thick wooden staff that can knock people unconscious. But at this moment, Gray Pao really felt that the guy in front of him had a bit of the style of Jian Qi. It's not that there is power like qi in Mushroom, it's mainly a kind of calmness, a kind of calmness like waving a handkerchief while holding a weapon.
This is something neither Atta nor Kailas have, because they know very well what the weapon in their hands means, only Jian Qi and the people in his homeland have shown a dialectical relative attitude towards the weapon.
"It seems that your spells failed to deceive them, sir." With his hands behind his head, Pengwei stood beside two mushrooms, and Yuni was in the same posture.
Judging from the footprints on the ground that have not yet dried, the two were captured not long ago, and there is no sign of a fight in the room, which is very interesting, not to mention recruiting this half-demon, even Yuni can now transform through transformation Coming to fight, they shouldn't be caught so easily.
Cheese shrugged and raised his hands, "Did they say anything? It's okay to question or abuse."
Yuni hesitated for a moment, "None of these, they just said they would take you to see the mother tree."
