Chapter 110: New Colors, New Habits
"Look, as the king said, they are stuck in the swamp."
On the green grass, several green dragons in green cloaks lay on the grass, looking at the silver ships in the distance with a lookout log.
"Where the hell did this bunch come from? Actually destroyed our port. One of the emerald dragons said, "That's a huge loss. ”
Most of the houses in the harbor are a kind of 'vacant' that has not yet been sold, so destroying them would be a huge loss for the Emerald Dragon.
Most of the people who stayed in the canyon were the people, because they didn't have crystals to build houses, and the people who went to live outside were basically hired by the nobles, and they could only squeeze into some narrow and dirty places, and only after some of them earned enough crystals could they buy houses on their own.
Generally speaking, houses can be built casually, but not only do you have to buy materials, but you also have to pay the guards 'protection crystals' to prevent attacks from Mao Yu, dinosaurs and thieves, and the price of this 'protection crystal' is much more expensive than the materials.
Therefore, most of the houses were built by nobles, and they could drive some soldiers for free, and then build buildings, and then sell them to other people, thus forming a relationship of buying and selling houses.
"It's none of our business anyway, it's something that those nobles have to worry about." Another emerald dragon said, "We just need to watch them here." ”
The ships were rocking in place and unable to move forward, and most of them were a little skewed, looking like they were trapped.
There was a group of silver-armored dragons dangling from the ship, they looked very anxious, and some of them were strapped to the ropes and tested under the boat.
But none of them seemed to be able to get the ship out of the swamp......
The observing emerald dragons said, "What should I do now?" "Let's wait for a moment. Wait for the next command...... Wait a minute. Something strange was coming out. ”
The emerald dragons saw some black-bodied creatures emerge from the ship. They crawled down the hull of the boat to the bottom of the boat, they didn't have to pull the ropes, and they didn't get stuck in the swamp.
The black creatures climbed down from the various boats, they crawled over the swamp, and then all gathered under one ship, which seemed to be trying to push that one.
"Those are...... What creature? Go back and report! Seeing this, several jade dragons hurriedly ran away.
……
What kind of creatures are they? If you had to come up with a name, it would probably be something like a fish......
Lin was also observing the situation here, and these black creatures were the creatures that the Silver Armor Dragon originally used to drive ships. After initial observations, Lynn discovered that the creature resembled a fish.
They are about a meter long, have smooth skin like sea creatures, dorsal fins on their backs, a tail up to half a meter long that is flattened and suitable for swimming in water, suction cups on their limbs that allow them to move by sticking to the hull of a boat, gills but can breathe with their lungs on land.
This creature is muscular. It can also run fast on land, but Lynn thinks most of its structures are used to live in water.
From the outside, it looks more like a salamander with fins. But its own structure is biased towards fish, and it can stand semi-upright, and now they use their broad feet to step on the swamp and push the boat with their forelimbs.
Their intelligence is not very high, the weight of their brain volume is about 0.7%, and they can understand the commands of the silver-armored dragon.
This strange creature, let's call it 'Half Fish', is supposed to be a subsidiary species brought by the Silver Armored Dragon from somewhere, and the Silver Armored Dragon needs to keep shouting from the boat before it can move.
They resemble the relationship between the electric gnome and the emerald dragon, these half-fish are trying to push the boat out of the swamp, although they can stand in the swamp with the webbed on their feet, but it is impossible to push the boat, and several half-fish have already sunk into the swamp.
No matter how much the silver-armored dragons above shouted, they couldn't push the ship out.
Lynn thinks that the shipbuilders of the Silver Armor didn't think about the environment where the ship would encounter large potholes or swamps when building the ship? Don't they live in a place where they don't have such an environment? Is there such a place in this world?
The place where they lived was strange, and Lin felt a little strange about the language spoken by the silver-armored dragon, which seemed to be a different language system, although it was mixed with some words that were used by the white dragon, but they were basically new, or mixed with old words from the previous one.
Why would they do that? Lin felt that this was meaningless, because the previous words could also express the things and meanings of the present, could it be that the color of the scales has changed, and the personality has also changed?
…… This feels unlikely......
Because of this, Lynn wanted to ask them directly.
"Quack, ahhhh Now a few silver-armored dragons were shouting in the boat, and they found that the half-fish could not push the boat, so they had to order them back.
'Boom! ’
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind them, and the silver-armored dragon was startled, and they quickly turned their heads to look, only to see a hard-armored dragon standing behind them, but this silver-armored dragon was not wearing armor, and the scales of its whole body were shining in the sun.
"Gah?" These dragons are a little strange, because there are no dragons standing here just now.
"Do you understand?" The unarmored dragon made a sound.
In fact, this dragon is a 'spy' that Lin just created, and the words it speaks are the original white skeleton dragon language.
Several silver-armored dragons were stunned when they heard this, and Lin felt a feeling of extreme surprise appear in them, and after being stunned for more than ten seconds, they suddenly screamed, and drew their weapons and slashed at the spy!
The blade slashed through the Spy's body, and the Spy fell to the ground with blood gushing out.
…… This reaction seems somewhat unexpected.
Lin didn't strengthen the spy, its structure is similar to that of ordinary silver-armored dragons, and the interesting thing is the reaction of this group of silver-armored dragons, they seem to have a strange feeling for the dragon who spoke the original words, and then subconsciously want to hack the target to death.
They don't have anger or fear when they cut it, which means that they are not scared or angry, but more like a ...... Nerve reflexes?
Is there such a strange nerve reflex?
Lynn thought that maybe she should take a look at their memories, but that didn't necessarily help, and Lynn thought it would be better to just watch them go back to their homes.
"Quack...... Several silver-armored dragons lifted the Spy's body and threw it from the ship into the swamp.
They don't seem to feel much about the death of their 'kind'.
In fact, Lynn almost always thought that the dragons were a group of white skeletons that did not inhabit the Dinosaur Continent, and not the descendants of Crystal Maniac......
However, Lynn found something deep in their cabin......
This was supposed to be the place where the commander stayed, but there were no dragons now, and Lynn's eyes flew here, and the whole room was filled with stone and metal things, and Lin was surprised by this. They were the same as before, without the slightest use of woodwork, and almost all Lynn saw was rock and metal at the moment.
The old empty fishing boats were quite wooden, but the boats here have no wood at all, and Lynn thinks they definitely have been inspired in some way.
Their devices seem to be relatively simple in terms of their drives, and Lynn has investigated most of their devices before, and all of the devices that Lynn has seen so far are run on wheels, and these wheels are operated by Half-Fish or Silver-Armored Dragons themselves.
That is, it is quite strange to rely purely on the body to run these things.
But the most interesting thing is that in the center of this room, there is a statue.
The statue is two meters tall and is made of a white stone, it is made in the shape of a white dragon, it is armed with a weapon, it is wearing armor, although its face is not recognizable, but there is a line of words on the base of the statue.
'The eternal king, the creator of the will of the zào - crystal madness'.
Using the original White Skeleton Dragon script, it was clear that the group of silver-armored dragons worshipped the Crystal Maniac, and even if they encountered some kind of encounter, they still seemed to believe in what had been before...... And the reason why they kill spies can also be found here.
Next to the statue of Crystal Maniac was a stone slab with something written in the White Skeleton Dragon script on it.
The content written above is mainly about how great the crystal madness is, saying that it has great power and wisdom or something, and in the last line it is written: 'This is the text of the creation zào, those who are not qualified cannot read it, they can only watch it, otherwise they will be punished.' ’
"As if they think that the original language is something very 'noble' that only qualified people can pronounce? And what is this qualifier? ”
Lynn wanted more and more to see the creatures that taught them...... What is it.
………………
After that, several days and nights had passed.
The silver armor dragon has been completely trapped in the swamp area and can no longer move forward, and the giant ship that seems to be able to crush a qiē is now useless, although only the first few are stuck in the swamp, but the back ones do not dare to move forward, so they seem to plan to let the next few ships turn around and move to another place.
There was a large swamp between the harbor and the Emerald Dragon Canyon, and although there was a road in the swamp, there was no way for such a large ship to pass, and the group of silver-armored dragons obviously did not intend to give up, and they turned the ships that were not stuck to the north......
Once desert to the north, the dry world has been turned green by the tsunami and the rain of bewildering fungi, and it is home to a variety of wonderful plants.
The most common of them is a plant called the 'vine fern'. These creatures are native to the North Continent, and their seeds have even survived centuries of ice age in the desert.
The Silverarmed Dragons had already sent scouts to explore there, and found that there was no swamp there, so they seemed to think they could get around.
After deciding this, the silver-armored dragon left a part of the team to guard the ships that were stuck in the swamp, and the ships behind began to turn around and head towards the desert......
But they don't know what to expect. (To be continued......)
