Chapter 440: The Sand Shell Man

Names, sometimes not so easy to report. It's also quite interesting, before you declare your name, do you not exist? The person and thing that is the subject of the name exists, of course, before it is named or recognized by the name, otherwise the world would be a huge dictionary with only one name in it, and there is nothing behind the name.

Since there is a real thing first, and then there is a name placed on it, then the name itself becomes less important, because even the content to which it refers may not be eternal, and how can the name of the reference to this content be conclusively spoken?

"I think they might call themselves Click," Lolo gave a subtle expression as he uttered the onomatopoeia, which was more like a chelicer tapping than a name.

It's no wonder that for species that use rhythmic percussion to communicate, there may be infinite variations in the two seemingly close sounds of click and click, and the so-called click sound is only a sound to human hearing, and in their language it may be the truth of everything.

"Sandshells, I think we can call them that. Of course, in their language they should be called Click, or anything like that. Cheese understands the dilemma of the dancer's expression, and she has to translate two very different language systems, even if one of them is not the language that humans express through the vocal organs in the narrow sense.

There are bound to be a lot of problems, not only for Lolo's ability to feel, but also for her ability to master her own language to express concepts and ideas that do not conform to conventional logic as much as possible. In a sense, this is the ability that every prophet must possess to make the indescribable into something that can be spoken.

"Well, Sandhusk, that sounds pretty apt. In short, they are indeed the indigenous people here. According to their descriptions, the sandbar was supposed to be a bulge hidden beneath the water's surface, where things washed out of the river would settle, and the sandbars made a living from it. The Sand Husks in front of us are warriors and gatherers of the clan, and their normal job is to collect food on the surface of the dunes to feed the people inside the sand. ”

After saying this, it can indeed be seen that many people with sand shells do not eat the food immediately after picking it up, but send it to the snail shell behind them. The protrusions on the shells of the snails were like slots holding the right-sized pieces of food in them.

It is important to note that not all sand-hulled people have suitable grooves on their backs, so traces of manual chiseling are evident on the carapace of some individuals. It's easy to think of workers who are physically deformed because they are required to perform certain heavy physical tasks. In fact, in many of the more primitive areas, there are many similar practices in the human communities that maintain tribal life. It's also a way of adapting to nature.

"What happened next was much as you might have guessed, starting at a certain time, the Sandhusks described it as the Moon of Turmoil. The underwater sand dunes where they live have changed drastically, and the familiar terrain has become an unfamiliar labyrinth, but fortunately, the food reserves within the tribe are sufficient to avoid problems. To get out of their predicament, they organize an expedition to try to explore the labyrinth structure and rediscover the passage to the predator's grounds. ”

Luo Luo glanced at the claw-wielding clawed man for a few moments, then turned to his companion and explained, "They say that this team has been on the expedition for a long time, and it feels like it should be many years, but I don't know exactly how long it will be. ”

The sense of time, which is as subtle as the name. In fact, it is not only the calendar of the Sandhusk people that is a mystery to humans, but also the human calendar for those races that have the closest contact with humans. The average life expectancy of each race is different, and so is the understanding of nature.

For example, the year in the elven calendar is actually composed of many springs, summers, autumns and winters, and because of their long lifespan, they can find patterns in the rotation of these seasons. In most civilizations, the human calendar corresponds to the starry sky, and through the observation of day and night, and the seasons, human beings are able to summarize the laws of time cycle and make use of it.

As a spell caster, their own vision must be wider than that of ordinary people, and of course they understand the truth that the calendar does not understand. Therefore, the long years that the Sand Shell people feel may only be a few weeks or a month for humans. This is a piece of news that has no reference, at least now that they have no in-depth understanding of the Sand Shell people's concept of time. But immediately after, Luo Luo's expression changed significantly.

"They said that during the exploration, there was a lot of loss of manpower. Some of the vanished Sandhusks were heading to the rocks we had come from, and some were heading elsewhere. Although they are not sure what the specific cause of their death is, they want us not to go near these two places, which are dangerous. ”

At this point, the dancer's expression indicated that she had guessed what existed in the second forbidden area that the Sandhusk had pointed out.

They found Him. And then it was devoured. The cultists above the ground couldn't spot the husk people under the sand, and the ones who could do that must be inhuman. That is, our goal. The grey robe said calmly, his gaze wandering over the sandshell man's body, wondering if these creatures that suddenly appeared could be trusted.

Everything they say is based on the truth of the preface, and if they had been acting with malice at the beginning, it would not be very difficult to deceive. The truth, the lie, the speculation. Whenever this happens, Cheese begins to wish for Atta and her magic sword to be by his side, and the Oath Breaker's abilities should also be effective against these Sandshells.

No, didn't he know that there were lies in the world before he knew the female swordsman? Relying on the magic sword would be laughed at by the same family for a gray robe, and the answer must be found through his own hands, and opportunistic tricks must be mastered.

Think, reason, and then build a tower of logic to confirm the credibility of what you are saying. This is what the gray robe does and styles.

"How credible do you think?" asked Wei Ya suddenly, she probably had the same question in mind as Cheese, but she didn't try to give the answer on her own like Cheese.

Unlike the Grey Tower, the mages of the City of Ten Thousand Laws are more adept at teamwork, they are well aware of the limitations of their personal experience and experience, and they also know that the best way to make up for this shortcoming is to blend and collide with different opinions.

"It's impossible to judge. The gray robe stood up as he spoke, and gently shook off the grains of sand,

"There is no precursor to the appearance of the Sandhusks, and there is no absolute guarantee in Lolo's translation, all clues are built on unstable cornerstones. I can give ten opinions to prove the reliability of their words, and I can use ten opinions to refute each one. Therefore, there is no way to judge. But the inability to judge is itself a judgment, and it means at least one thing. ”

"We still have a lot of options. Instead of following the accumulation of clues, bind one's own rationality to a reasonable path. The mage quickly said what Cheese had not finished.

Her reaction made the gray robe unconsciously cast his gaze, and he felt a tacit understanding from this woman more than once. This tacit understanding does not come from any peculiar commonality, it comes from a similar way of thinking.

Is the education of the Gray Tower really from the male witch lineage? Then why does his own thoughts coincide with the mages of the City of Ten Thousand Laws? For these troubles, Cheese chooses to put it aside for the time being.

"Ask them if they'd like to tell us the direction of the second exclusion zone. It can at least be taken as a reference. ”
