Chapter 704 (1/1)
The world is very broad, and in this vast world, pregnant with people can not imagine the vitality. No one knows how the earliest humans came into contact with elves and dwarfs, or whether demons and demons were full of malice when they first entered the world. But in short, people who travel a lot will soon get used to one thing. Nothing in this world is incredible, because it is really incredible that only people can survive with such narrow ideas. In addition, everything is possible within the universe.
Fortunately, fioni and fitis both travel a lot, and they are well aware of the vastness of the world and its limitations. Therefore, when barnacles, oh no, they have to call them shell people. When shell people actively communicate with them, they do not spend too much time lamenting, but quickly accept the fact that each other is a race that can think independently. Of course, to accept is to accept. It is impossible to say that the sirens and witches are not curious about these shell people. As we all know, the intelligent creatures in this world have a certain body shape.
Among them, we can take human beings as a model. The small ones are dwarfs, dwarfs, and big ones, such as giants and dragons. Although their shapes are very different, the smallest race is at least one meter tall. Casters who study this aspect call this phenomenon the bottom line of enlightenment. They believe that a natural creature that is not inspired by magic must at least exceed this threshold to have human like intelligence. As for the life born out of natural forces or scattered magic energy like goblins, they do not need to abide by this bottom line.
That's why fitti didn't initially believe that the shell people were a communicable race. No matter how you look at them, these shells without magic are far away from the bottom line of enlightenment. However, the wise witch immediately thought that the so-called bottom line is often applied to humanoid creatures. If they are not viviparous or oviparous, and since the structure of mollusks, such as mollusks, are not the same as the previous two, it is normal for them that the restriction of this bottom line cannot be applied. If the grey robed mage was here, he would not care about anything else, and would devote all his energy to the study of the shell man, a brand-new intelligent creature. While witches are more pragmatic. After accepting the existence of shell people, the warden's next thought is what kind of help these incredible little things can provide for their trip.
The witch's idea soon came true, because the shell people's next move made her realize how valuable they were in this space. The shell of the shell began to bubble up. It looked like a crab just scratching from the water, but they spit out the debris of the sediment and food, but the white powder mixed in the foam, which is the sea salt that forms the salt line. Fioni didn't realize at first what shell people were doing when they spit sea salt out of their mouths. However, soon, with the shell people spit out the salt particles evenly spread on the rock, just covered by the falling rock, the interrupted salt line was reconnected, forming a complete barrier.
”Here,” the sea monster stared at what happened. He saw that the shell people consciously retreated to the inside of the salt line after finishing their work, and some were still checking along the gravel to see if there was any other damage that had not been found. Fioni turned to the witch. ”Didn't you say that these things have to go through the Shaman's hand to work?”
Fitis's brow was tight, and her magic eyes could clearly see that the salt line made by the shell people was emitting the same light as the previous salt line. There is no doubt that it is unnatural to awaken the dead, but the fact is that the shell people seem to have a way to do this easily, although at present only the giant's bone powder can awaken them.
”Where did you find these salts?” The warden asked the shell people. She didn't know which shell person she had just communicated with, so she could only ask all the shell people. After just a few seconds, the witch almost screamed with a lot of response. It took her a little effort to silence the voices in her mind. It seems that every shell person has the ability to communicate, which is a new discovery. ”Please answer me by one person. You have too many voices that I can't tell.”
After a few minutes, the witch guessed that it was a shell. People were choosing who to represent and negotiate with themselves. You know, although the language of both sides will not pose a problem from the communication process just now, the language habits of shell people are still different from those of human beings and sea monsters. The evidence is that they can almost only use nouns. There are two possibilities for this phenomenon. First, shell people think in such a way that things in their eyes are a stack of nouns. This is a rather primitive mode of thinking, because it is too restrictive, not conducive to language communication. The second reason is that fitis thinks it is more likely that the shell people are not talking to them. People are always used to express their opinions with words, but words are not the only way. Images, emotions and other factors can be used as means of communication. Shell people's communication depends on the information particles broadcast into the air. Then, compared with using grammar to communicate, witches have every reason to believe that they can wrap their own images and emotions in the particles so that their companions can feel them Receiving is a quicker way.
Sure enough, after waiting for the information is no longer a simple word, some images carrying consciousness into her mind, let her just a moment to understand the meaning of the shell people. So it's hard to tell who is better in this way of communication and language. ”I see.” The witch nodded. Judging from the information given to her by the shell people, they really didn't know the so-called shaman witchcraft. What activated the salt was a natural secretion of the shell human body. It's fair to say that things in nature don't all point to a single direction. Many times, similar raw materials can produce the same results under different effects. It is not impossible to say that there are substances in the human body that can activate giant bone meal.And that brings fitti to another question, ”how long have you lived here?” This time, the shell people's reply is full of doubts. They don't quite understand the witch or the concept of ”long” in human's mouth. After all, in this dark space, there is neither sun nor tide, and there is no way to calculate time. Therefore, it seems that the shell people have not given birth to the concept of time in the natural evolution. But according to them, their ancestors had flesh and blood here as early as the material age of fioni and fitis. It's interesting, when there's a time of flesh and blood Isn't that when thunder giant just died!
”I think, in a sense, these little guys in front of us are probably the purest descendants of the giant. They and their ancestors, each of them, grew up in the body of a giant. ” The witch's expression is a little strange. On the one hand, she instinctively dislikes these scavengers, just as people would hate hyenas and vultures. On the other hand, the undisguised kindness and gratitude of shell people make her unable to associate these little creatures with the ugly and despicable corpse eaters. This subtle sense of contradiction makes people uncertain about how to treat shell people.
However, the sea demon obviously does not have this problem. In the sea, fioni has seen too many ways of living that are more contrary to human moral common sense than eating corruption. He does not think that there are any mistakes in those creatures. It's just that humans, or races close to humans, should not put their moral values on other creatures. ”They do. But I don't think it's a problem. Since his bone marrow will become a monster, is it right that his barnacle turns into a shell man? And I like these little guys better than me. At least they know how to create and maintain
The witch kept silent this time. She looked at fioni and said, ”well, you're right. Well, you might as well ask the shell people what they think of us. I mean, our meat may not be as good as giants, but it must be fresher than these bones. ”
”Well, I don't think you have to worry. I've asked these friends that their diet is mainly sand. And as long as they don't exercise, they can stay away from food for a long time Fioni raised an eyebrow to show that the witch didn't have to worry about the shell man's threat. ”Besides, they're willing to show us around here. I don't think we need to refuse, do we?”
Fitis nodded reluctantly. She was not afraid of shell people, but simply hated the feeling that she was led by her master to visit his garden. ”Let them go back first. When our people are rested, we will visit again. ”
