MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 13 Infiltrate the village

Waiting for the storm to subside was a long process, and Cheese and the others got bored after each sleep. Moisture cannot be dispelled by flame alone, it can only be comforted.

Fortunately, it is safe enough here, and there is not much need to worry about external threats in the town of mushrooms. There are no traces of battle on the city wall built by giant trees. Considering the time when it was built, it is enough to explain the secrets and dangers of this place. remote.

This is indeed the case. The food brought by Mushroom Guren is only the fruits and some roots of plants. Although the quantity is quite large, the quality is the level of a child who is familiar with forest knowledge trying his best to collect it. It is difficult to say that it is rich.

It is unrealistic to make it difficult for a group of mushrooms to prepare food for people. They only need to stuff a part of their body into the nutrient-rich soil to obtain all the necessary substances. I am afraid that for the mushrooms, the quality of food is This piece of soil is delicious and that piece of soil is not.

Surprisingly, in addition to preparing the food, the mushroom man also brought an iron pot to the cheese and the others. Gray Robe was certain that a group of mushrooms who were somewhat afraid of fire could not develop metallurgical technology. In other words, this iron pot must have come from an individual or group of some other intelligent creature. After a simple judgment, the answer came out in front of Gray Robe.

"Human craftsmanship, but the processing method is relatively primitive, and no decoration can be seen. It should be the product of the small settlement." Cheese tapped the edge of the pot, and then extended it out of the window. Different voices.

The pot was half filled and put on the fire. First, there was too much water and it was difficult to boil it. Second, the strength of one arm was limited, and it was difficult to recover the iron pot filled with water.

"A group of people got lost here, and the pots in their hands were finally picked up by the mushrooms?" Pinwei looked at the pots and made an inference. He was not a person who likes this kind of thinking game, but he has nothing else to do now. easy to do.

"There are many possibilities. Yuni, your homework today is to use this pot to speculate on the living environment and habits of its previous owner. If you are uncertain, you can ask Pinwei." Cheese stood up and moved his limbs. .

"What about you, teacher?" The apprentice raised his face and saw a faint smile on the corner of Cheese's mouth. Gray robe made a gesture of not panic, and then turned out along the window.

What's more surprising is that both Yuni and Pinwei saw Cheese turn out the window and leave, but there was another Cheese by the window. He looked out the window quietly, as if he was interested in the rain. After a few seconds, the cheese turned his head to look at the two of them, showing an inexplicable smile.

Clone is a spell that appears in many stories. Like many spells with similar effects and different principles, there are also many ways to leave a clone in place that can be faked.

Cheese used a relatively advanced spell, relying on the steam rising from the iron pot and a piece of clothing he wore. The advantage of this spell is that the gray robe himself can partially receive the information of the clone and control it to do it. limited response. The disadvantage is that it will divert some of Cheese's concentration during the casting, and the spell will automatically disarm when Grey Robe himself loses consciousness or is sluggish.

It's one thing not to want to get into trouble, it's another thing to do nothing in the unknown. Cheese's plan is very clear. He wants to use the cover of rain to deceive the mother tree by relying on his clone, and then go around the village of the mushroom people to see their ecological status. He has already made up his mind that even if he discovers that Mushroom Guren is a man-eating monster in the process, he will not interfere. This is the edge of the blank world, and they are truly isolated and helpless.

Moreover, it is not too uncommon for humans to be used as food or even livestock. This is the case in areas where vampires are the rulers, and even some closed areas that worship cannibalism do so. This kind of thing cannot really be eliminated by one person.

Cheese stepped on the rain screen again, but his mentality was completely different. Before, he was a wanderer in the rain, eagerly looking for a tree hole that could avoid the deadly cold water. Now he is a ghost in the rain, dwelling in the dull water, walking in the cacophony of loud rushes.

Besides, he is the only one, and he has a way to minimize the impact of the rain, such as becoming a part of the rain. There are many spells in magic that can make people swim like a fish in the water temporarily. Since the rain has been so heavy, the same spell can naturally work.

In fact, he had a doubt before, why does the mushroom man need to build a town? Judging from the dialogue translated by Yuni, the reproduction of these creatures is no different from the mushrooms in nature. Their birth comes from the collapsed and dead giant trees, so they should regard these giant trees as the origin of life and the breeding ground for the survival of the race. rather than turning them into building materials.

A possible explanation is that not every part of the giant tree can become the nourishment for the birth of the mushroom man, they just use the meaningless place, which can better protect the compatriots. Another possibility is that this is not the will of the orphans, just like they have no idea of ​​​​making a good relationship with the cheese, the birth of the town also comes from the will of the tree mother.

What Cheese is curious about is what the so-called mother tree is. The giant tree has wisdom because of its age, and it even affects the inhabitants of it, which is reasonable. Because the mushroom man was born from wood, UU read www. It is equally reasonable for uukanshu.com to turn to the source of its origin.

It's just that when the two are combined into a cycle like a **** and a believer, the gray robe becomes alert, which is very similar to what the Crypt Mother once did. Closed settlements, single beliefs, even if there is a normal development context, the results still stir the gray robe's nerves.

Anyway, take a look and observe. While not categorically attributable to plants, examples like Mushrooms are different from ordinary humans or intelligent biomes, and they have their own value.

Huge wooden houses are more like flower houses or greenhouses. Mushrooms’ houses rarely see windows or chimneys. After all, they don’t need sunlight. The windows on the walls are just for the convenience of communication between indoor and outdoor mushrooms. This is a good thing. The fact that the window is not important means that no one will pay attention to it. Cheese can better use the window to observe the residents inside. As for the dim environment, it will not be difficult for the mage with changing methods.

So in the rain, the gray-robed mage was lying on the side of the window, like a little thief, and slowly stuck his head out. A big mushroom head came into view first, and he almost screamed out in fright.

Fortunately, this is not the fact that Mushroom Guren has superior sensing ability, but that individual happens to have half of his body leaning against the window, maybe he likes the feeling of rain hitting him occasionally.
