Chapter 70: Observation and Experiment

"Tsk, the beginning of commercial activities. Shuer sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "I didn't expect it to be at this stage." ”

"Eh, is it special?" Moria is not Shuer after all, Shuer had studied this knowledge in depth and systematically in order to help his sister control the family territory, but Moria did not have a similar experience, she really didn't understand the symbolism, "I just think it's funny, is it representative?"

"Well, the specific is more complicated, it is difficult to explain it in a short time, if you are interested, I can help you recommend thirty-six, no, thirty-seven books, all the great libraries of the Temple of the Gods can be found, after you understand it, you can almost understand. ”

"Yo Yo Yo, this piece of grass must taste good, I'm going to eat grass. "It's not impossible to let a race like Lin Jing endure the nature of reading, but thirty-seven, and the most boring academic works, just kidding, Moria is sure that from ancient times to today, no Lin Jing has succeeded.

"In short, you can understand that this is one of the landmark events in the development of civilization to a certain extent. Ignoring the guy disguised as a deer, Shul patted the Thunderstorm Beast at his feet, "This market ...... I mean this deal...... Anyway, how long has this kind of activity been going on in the square?"

"It's been a long time, I've been around since I was born, probably more than seventy years ago. Rex asked almost the same question as Lin Jing, "What's wrong, is it weird?"

"Nothing, just a bit of an accident. Shure asked thoughtfully, "The dragons guided you to build it?"

"No, I don't know if it's too specific, but I heard from the elders that the dragons didn't live here in the early days, but some intelligent beings thought it was quieter and chose to set up their nests here. Later, more and more intelligent beings gathered, and each race had its own advantages, of course, also its own disadvantages, so that there were some things that other races could easily do but could not do themselves. I don't know who came up with the idea first, everyone began to cooperate with each other, and at first it was just an occasional mutual aid, which was not too troublesome anyway, and it could make both parties more comfortable. However, with the increase in the number of intelligent beings, there are more and more situations that need mutual assistance, and gradually some intelligent beings specialize in helping other individuals solve such problems, so that everyone can be satisfied. ”

"And everyone takes up so much of their time that they can't go out to forage for food, in order to show their gratitude, every time I ask them for help, they will bring back their favorite food as a thank you gift, and slowly this pattern is fixed, and the thank you gift also becomes a reward. By the time I developed my wisdom, everyone was used to it, and in addition to helping to clean up the body, I could exchange some things, you see over there. ”

Shure had seen what Rex was referring to, a herbivorous long-necked behemoth dragging several trampled creatures on its tail.

The long-necked behemoth was too heavy, and its four legs were not only thick, but also the soles of its feet were huge, so as to maximize the contact area so as not to sink into the ground. Therefore, when they walk, they often inadvertently trample some ordinary beasts to death, as simple as humans trampling insects, and it seems that Shuer's concern just now is not unreasonable.

Under normal circumstances, if you step on it, you will be trampled to death, and you can't eat it anyway, and you don't know how to mourn the unlucky guy, and the long-necked beast won't look at it more, but now these intelligent beings don't do that, they will collect the corpse when they need it, and exchange it for some service they want. For this reason, some similar super-large beasts have even begun to deliberately trample some beasts to death, but this also depends on the opportunity.

Of course, super-large sapient bodies are scarce after all, most herbivorous beasts do not have this ability, and their physical characteristics are not suitable for hunting, but don't worry, they also have their own methods when they need the services of carnivorous beasts.

For example, using the freshest young grass collected, finding some omnivorous creatures in exchange for fresh corpses, and then using these corpses as a reward to hire those special giant beasts to serve, although the number is obviously disproportionate, but the grass is everywhere, it is still very easy to collect, and it can fully meet their needs.

That's right, it's an exchange, and it is precisely because of seeing this scene that Shuer's face became quite subtle while he sighed.

"What about the dragons?" Shure pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that Rex hadn't mentioned the dragons.

"In the past, the dragons did not live with everyone, but in a very distant mountainous area, but since this square began to take shape, they seem to be very interested, and often come to visit, and finally they simply moved most of the people here. ”

"Tsk, I see. Shul nodded, he didn't doubt Rex's story, and it wasn't strange that the dragons would move over, it seemed that the powerful high-level dragons in the dragon group were also very interested in the children's spontaneous behavior, and they moved here just to observe nearby, as for the purpose of observation...... Hehe, it goes without saying.

"What the hell are these guys trying to do?" Shure muttered to himself, squinting his eyes, "certainly not as simple as I thought, and if I'm not mistaken, their goals or ambitions are far greater than I thought." ”

"Eh, you already have an idea?" Mauria raised her hooves and kicked Shure, "Isn't it a simple observation?"

"It's hard to say, and I'm not sure for sure, but observations are just means, and they must have other purposes. Shuer suddenly squinted at Moria, "You are the liaison representative, and you also represent the dragon clan in front of the mage, and you actually came to ask me from the dragon clan?"

"They didn't tell me the purpose, I didn't even see them. Moria said innocently, "It's just that Ceglas and his mother had a secret conversation once, maybe my mother knew, but my mother didn't tell me." ”

"Well, I think Lady Anika should know something, after all, she has witnessed a similar history with her own eyes. "It's not an unacceptable purpose, at least for a long time, it won't have any effect. ”

"Huh?"

"Oh, I don't know what it's like to push the evolution of a race with my own hands, maybe Seglas wants to go back to the path of his old friends. Shuer shrugged his shoulders lightly, no longer thinking as before, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and his gaze stopped in one direction.

He saw something that looked familiar.

A pitch-black arthropod, one side covered with serrations, like a natural hand saw, was being held in the mouth of a giant beast dragging a large bundle of grass.
