Chapter 8: Vivien's Question
"Mom is a little older, hiss, more than 200 years old, although the body is still healthy, but I can feel that she is gradually getting old, hissing, I don't like this feeling. "The girls discovered a characteristic of the lizardman, whenever the mood is not calm, whether it is happy or sad, the tongue will retract frequently, the tail will also flick in a small area, the higher the degree of uncalmness, the faster the frequency of contraction and swing, through this feature is very combined with the situation on the scene, it is easy to judge the mood of a lizard man. For example, now, speaking of his mother, Galantis's tongue retracted significantly faster, and said in a low tone: "I like to watch my mother preside over the sacrificial ceremony, hiss, whenever my mother dances the hunting dance, I feel very happy, hiss, but since my mother handed over the position of high priest to Ona twenty years ago, I have never presided over the ceremony, and I really want to see my mother dance the hunting dance again." β
An hour ago, the food was served on the table one after another, and the aroma wafting from the food attracted the attention of the girls, no one had the heart to think about other issues anymore, everyone focused on the food, after all, it had just come out of the ice field, although Pannis's cooking skills were also good, but after all, the food on the ice field was still very scarce, even if there was enough food and compressed food, but the taste and nutrition of this food would not taste good no matter how processed and cooked, and in the last month, even the eternally expressionless Eva couldn't help frowning when she heard the activity of eating, and rarely showed her expressionγ As a result, everyone felt as if they hadn't eaten in years, and after only half an hour, the sumptuous dishes on the table had turned into a pile of empty cutlery with the help of seven people, and the residual aroma of food wafted through the dining room. The guests of the other table of the Light of Hope Adventure Party had already finished their lunch early to avoid embarrassment, and only the entire Nelly Adventure Party and Lady Galantis were left in the spacious dining room. After eating the lunch of a lifetime, Galantis remembered that Eva had just asked about the customs of the marsh, and after a brief introduction, the topic was naturally brought by the girls to Alcmene, who they were most curious about.
"It turns out that your mother was the last high priest of the swamp people. "Because the name lizardman is not very good. Although the lizardmen themselves don't care what the aliens call themselves, from Catherine's point of view, her good upbringing makes her habitually call Gallantis by the swamp people: "I have long heard that the high priest of the previous generation of the swamp people was the friendliest of the outside world. No wonder she will let you come to the outside world to gain experience. β
"Well, because of my uncle and sister, my mother has been very fond of communicating with humans since she was young. Galantis nodded his triangular head like a human: "Hiss, everyone praised Mom for promoting communication with humans, hiss." Although there are some old people who are not used to the current life, hiss, but the younger generation is very grateful for the hard work of their mothers. β
"Galantis, I have a question for you. Vivien had been silent before, not knowing what she was thinking, when she suddenly asked, seemingly unintentionally, "I find it difficult for you swamp people to speak the lingua franca, why don't you use the soul whisper to talk to us, isn't that much more convenient?"
"Ahem. Pannis suddenly let out a choking cough, and said with a wandering gaze: "You guys talk first, hahahaha." I've got a little bit of something to do, so let's go first. β
"Smack", the swamp hunter Galantis, who has the strength of the legendary level, instantly wrapped his tail around Pannis's legs, and then grabbed his sleeve again, his yellow-green vertical pupils flashed with pitiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, why are you leaving again, hiss, didn't you say that you would go home to see your mother together." β
"Hey, when is it okay. The corners of Pennis's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I found out that you have been out for the past few years." I've learned it badly outside, but I've learned this method, isn't it that Maraca belt that broke you, you let it go. I'm going to educate him for Alcmene, don't drag me, I'm going to find him. β
"Don't make a fuss, anyway, it's okay to go back and see in the swamp, it just so happens that Galantis hasn't been home for a long time. She misses her mother so much, so she should give her a reason to go back and see. Catherine decided: "Also, why do you react so strongly when it comes to soul whispering, Vivien, what the hell is soul whispering, I have never heard of it at all." β
"Hiss, soul whispering is a special instinct of our race, and it's normal for you not to know, Sister Knight. Although Galantis couldn't shake her tail because she was wrapped around Pannis, her tongue quickly retracted to show that she was happy in her heart: "But this mage sister, hiss, I didn't expect you to know the soul whisper, few people know it." Ah, by the way, you're my uncle's new teammates, so my uncle must have told you. β
"Well, yes, that's what he told me. Vivien straightened the ruffled hat on top of her head with her regained sensibility hand, and said with a bright smile to Pannis, "You're right, dear Pannis, it was just a dream of mine, and it was a good dream that someone told me about these strange things in the dream, right?" β
"Hahahaha, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word. Pannis looked up at the sky and said with a forced smile: "What a good dream, what strange knowledge, why don't I remember anything?"
"Hmph, I'll spare you for the time being, I haven't finished asking my question yet. Vivien wrinkled her nose and grimaced, and continued to ask, "Galantis, do you have any props that allow other races to use this special ability temporarily?"
"Hiss, is there such a prop?" said Galantis strangely, "I haven't heard of it at all, hey, if there is, I should know." β
"Could it be that your mother made it before, but didn't tell you?" Vivien glanced at Pannis, "For example, your mother made it when your uncle was in the swamp." β
"Hey, that's possible. Galantis suddenly realized: "During that time, my mother went out with my uncle and sister for a while, hiss, and after I came back, my mother was indeed busy for a long time, and she looked very tired, if she had ever made it, it must have been that time." β
"I see, thank you. Vivien nodded, and since she happened to be sitting on the other side of Pennis, she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you too, and I'm sorry for such a precious gift." (To be continued.) )
