MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 10 messenger of the woods
Memory can be deceiving sometimes. Many things that you think you remember, you swear and miss day and night, in fact, it was not like that at the time, but people have an impression of the past, and a lot of imagination is added to it to become vivid.
There are also many things that we think we have forgotten, that others can’t remember them, and that they feel unfamiliar when looking at the photos. But in the middle of the night, there is a flash of light in the dream, and at a certain moment, the thoughts drift, and the past scene reappears, as if filling the missing part of a huge puzzle.
Cheese is experiencing the latter situation. He thinks that he has never been here, but only knows through Migo's narration that there is a lonely peak nearby that has been transformed into a giant dragon harbor. Now sitting in the hut made of giant trees, he realized that he was wrong. He didn't hear people talk about what happened here at all, he experienced it himself.
That memory was too unfamiliar to Gray Robe, and it was only now that he vaguely remembered it. Cheese tried to find out which stage of his life this happened through his recovered memory, but he couldn't come to a conclusion at all. The most likely time was when he got the Dragon Calling Flute and entered into a relationship with Migo. At that time, he should have entered the blank world through other directions.
How did Cheese know that his memory probably didn't belong to him at all, or that it didn't belong to Cheese's consciousness. Its source can be traced back to the person who was older, the second gray robe in the world, the first apprentice of the first gray robe.
Regarding the origin of Cheese, Anleena has always been tight-lipped. She knows that telling Cheese how strange his birth is, which is equivalent to telling him that his essence is not only human, but may not even belong to this world completely.
That would be a huge shock to Cheese and, combined with the knowledge he's researched, could even bring unexpected risks. Ignorance is sometimes a protective color. If you don't know, you won't be afraid or worried, but it's easier to survive.
At this moment, Gray Robe didn't know what his problem was, he just thought it was a side effect of some kind of magic, that is, forgetting a certain memory, together with the memory of releasing this magic. Similar spells exist, and are often unknown because of their amnestic side effects, with only scales and claws circulating.
As a qualified mage, Cheese's first thought is the most likely answer, although this answer is quite outrageous to others.
"In any case, our situation has improved now. I have never been to this village, but there are more than one similar villages in this wood, and they have more than one kind of owner. I hope we meet better. comminicate."
Cheese shook his clothes. In fact, his personal clothes are best dried, because the gray robe on his body blocks a lot of rain, and the waterproof effect may not be as good as special rain gear in the short term, but in the long run, the former may Even better.
"Are there still people who don't communicate well? They already live here, so they shouldn't even think about being bandits or something."
Pinwei frowned slightly, and Cheese's sudden recollection made him a little worried, but as a servant, at this time, he had no right to explore Gray Robe's physical and mental state, and could only follow Cheese to ask some extended questions. And there is nothing wrong with what the half-demon said, the residents living in seclusion in such a forest, even if they are not elves, their mentality will not be much worse.
"This forest is very old, and their neighbors with dragons can be traced back to the time when the dragons migrated here. The old things are not necessarily quiet, they have a longer time to exert their influence and change things with their will. Especially For a group of creatures living in the trees themselves as buildings, the will of the forest is subtle and irresistible."
Cheese had seen what the Old Ones had done to the All-Father, and his memory told him that the woods were far less harmless than they seemed. For the giant trees, the residents here are like livestock kept in captivity by humans, or insects that are observed as playthings, and they don’t need to do anything to make them transform.
"So, are we in danger?" Yuni asked. In fact, half of what Cheese just said was for him. The apprentice didn't give up thinking. He actively followed Cheese's analysis and introduction of the current situation, and made conjectures.
"It's not dangerous. Threats can only be called risks until they are determined. When dealing with risks, you have to prepare for the worst, but you can't take the initiative to lead the situation to the worst. The mistakes we often make, It is to judge things prematurely based on your own imagination, and then bring the situation that may change to that imagination. To use an analogy, it is like you shoot the arrow in your hand first, and then run to it It's an easy fallacy."
Cheese said gently, then looked at the flames, "There may be danger here, but it may not reflect on us. Although this forest is old, it is not crazy. Their hostility is hidden under the ground like tree roots. It is not easy to expose. We are just a group of passers-by, like migratory migratory birds, as long as we leave in time, there will be no problem. So sometimes pretending to be a lake is not an acceptable choice. "
A certain atmosphere in the room, with Cheese's words suddenly dissipated, the three people's backs were inexplicably loose, as if the eyes that had been staring at themselves for a long time suddenly moved away. Yuni was a little puzzled, and Pingwei was thoughtful, but Cheese just smiled. Some people understood what he said. In fact, since they approached the wall of the city, invisible pressure has been found, but the other two were completely unaware that their bodies were being oppressed by the gaze.
Part of this is because the gray robes share their pressure, and part of it is because the initiator of the gaze has the ability to hide his sight. From this point of view, the dragon's destruction of the forest is probably not an overly boring and random act, and it is more likely to be a counterattack after receiving the same attention.
"It's all right. We won't be too embarrassed here, as long as we act like guests, we can stay until the rain subsides. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Cheese promised the other two. Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door of the house.
Under the gesture of gray robe's eyes, Pinwei slowly got up, walked to the door, and opened the wooden door with a very guarded posture. The person standing outside stood quietly in the rain. No, it should be said that the thing knocking on the door stood quietly in the rain. After all, it is difficult to be classified as a humanoid. After all, its shape looks like a huge mushroom. solitary. A gigantic, human-like, human-like stature, a super giant mushroom.
The magical creatures in front of them made both Yuni and Pinwei stunned. Whether it was the rich racial illustrations in the City of Ten Thousand Laws or the various pedestrians coming and going in Riverrun, they had never seen such a strange and bizarre existence. . Da Mushroom Gu also looked at the three people in the room with the same quiet posture. In the shadow under the cap, there were two pure green eyes, which were about twice the size of a human, and their shape was closer to a circle. Rain fell on its umbrella-shaped canopy, dripping down the edges.
"Let it in. It is the messenger who came to negotiate with us." Cheese also knew little about the existence in front of him, but it was not difficult to guess the intention of the other party.
Pinwei slowly let the door open, and the man standing Mushroom lifted his feet and walked into the house step by step, leaving circular footprints on the ground.
