Chapter 439: The Dwellers in the Sand

How to show that you have no ill will to someone who is not clear about your friend or foe, or even to think, is a difficult problem, because racial and cultural differences are likely to turn the weakness of one side into a threat in the eyes of the other.

Until the channels of communication are actually established, nothing is just a clumsy gesture than a finger. And it is valuable to be able to break through this kind of comparison and finally build someone who can make a real exchange between the two parties.

Mages are generally not such people, because their minds are always in their own line and are solid in their own veins. In a sense, they are the worst communicators, and if you can't get into their stream of thought, you may never understand the true meaning of their every word.

Therefore, in history, there are many spellcasters who are called sages, but no king really dares to let these sages go to other countries. If the creed of knighthood makes them inflexible, then the habits of mages make them both arrogant and inflexible. Fortunately, two of the four people here are not mages in the traditional sense.

"You're saying these little ones might not be ours, enemy?" Lolo crouched down slightly, to get a closer look at the hermit crab-like creatures that had emerged from the sand dunes she had picked up.

She could clearly see that after the initial crowding and shoving, the creatures that had run out of the sand quickly organized themselves and made some kind of syllable by striking their claws. The syllables might have been language or something like that, because after they did, the hermit crabs in the back became much more orderly. No longer crowded at the exit like a swarm, but one by one out of the sandy burial, and quickly formed an arc of queues outside.

"Very possibly. The children of the gods have only been here for a long time, and they may be able to gather a group of faithful servants, but they will not be able to make a decisive change in the environment. Of course, if they were their birthers, it would be a different matter, but these children are far worse than they are. It's not natural, of course, but it doesn't happen out of nowhere. Long before the blasphemy of the evil gods encroached on this place, there were creatures that thrived here. ”

Cheese motioned for Via to lower the creature on the sand pillar, as it didn't look very comfortable with such height. Since these creatures are not hostile, they shouldn't be the subject of study, at least not yet.

"Do you think they can help us?" is the question they should be thinking about right now, and with the entire team severely attrition and low morale, it is not a bad thing to seek help from the outside.

Besides, after the bumps along the way, although it seems that the time after their landing may not have been as long as the time it took to gather and arrive here in the rushing stream, the fatigue and energy consumption of people are not calculated in this way. Now they are exhausted.

"Maybe. But I think it's a joy as long as they don't become enemies. The gray robe replied in his usual style, in the face of unknown circumstances and developments, he never took the initiative to strive for the possibility that seemed the best, because it also meant the most changes.

For the best results to occur, it is necessary to overcome more difficulties, some of which are visible and some of which are not. Rather than overcoming them all, Cheese prefers to follow the principle of efficiency first, to get an acceptable result, and if it is found that there is room for improvement in the process of advancing to the result, and the cost is controllable, then slowly try to do it.

"They said, they can help us. But only if we first liberate all of their people from the underground. Lolo's voice interrupted the conversation between the two mages.

They looked at the dancer, hoping to know why she could make such a positive judgment. Then they found that while they were still concentrating on the relationship with these creatures and doing the so-called correct logical deduction, the hermit crabs had already gathered around Lolo and Yoni, and seemed to be getting along with them well.

However, the reasons surrounding these two people may be somewhat different, for Lolo, the hermit crabs maintain a respectful attitude, they carefully maintain a distance from the dancing girl, and take the initiative to build a human ladder, so that the special individuals in the group can reach the same height as her eyes.

As for Yoni, they were all around him, probably because of the fact that the apprentice was carrying a lot of rations, some of which had fallen out of the holes in the broken bag in the bumps. The hermit crabs naturally gathered around the apprentice after eating the debris from the ground, but they had no intention of fighting.

"Get the food out, we need a break too. Give some to them, anyway, there is no need for that much. Cheese sighed lightly and said to the apprentice.

They did have a round of rest in the rocks before, but the strength they recovered by that time was long since they were exhausted compared to the scorching heat and the events that followed. And fatigue will not disappear and lie, in order to prevent this kind of thing, this time the gray robe also specially brought a few spirit-boosting potions, which is his last killer weapon, not something to use now.

Besides, after such a long time, the second monster has not flown past the sky, which means that the raid on the other side is mostly successful.

This can't be blamed on Cheese's over-optimism, even if he really knows exactly what Jung is facing, he will make the judgment of resting in place. The reason is simple, the opponent in front of you cannot be defeated by brute force.

Besides, the caster never relied on anything like that to win. A hungry stomach and a relaxed mind are the reliance of a fully powered brain.

"Can you understand them?" explained Yoni's side, and Cheese responded to what Lolo had just said.

There is no doubt about the existence of language among these creatures, and language or the early forms of communication that could be called language are actually quite common. It's just that the conditions that can really make the language profound, and even carry a civilized thinking concept, must be accompanied by the words.

"I can't say it's listening, it's closer to feeling. I can feel their emotions by observing their movements and the way they behave. I know it doesn't sound very reasonable, but it does work on me. ”

"Intuitive perception. There's nothing unreasonable about it, it's just that we don't know the connection yet. That's why it's collectively called intuition. Cheese nodded, he also had quite a few scenes similar to intuition in his own life experience.

Therefore, he does not use what he knows to arbitrarily break people's dependence on intuition. If you don't believe in yourself, it doesn't make sense. However, it is not uncommon to believe in so-called intuition too much, or even become a captive of it, and degenerate from a human being into a beast that does not think, and many of them are carefully planned deceptions by the hands of the devil.

The affirmation of the gray robe directly suffocated Wei Ya's doubts back into her mouth, as a mage of the City of Ten Thousand Laws, she was actually very disgusted with people like Luo Luo who relied on so-called intuition, especially since they actually relied on intuition to have the ability to cast spells, which was simply unreasonable. But when Cheese spoke his opinion, the mage's eyes flashed with thought, and she had to admit that the gray robe's argument was more plausible than to reject intuition altogether and attribute it to the illusion of animal nature.

This is also another trait of the mages cultivated in the City of Ten Thousand Laws, they believe in the truth more than the so-called personal charm, as long as what you say is reasonable, they can ignore the difference in status for the time being.

Lolo nodded, she lowered her arms to the ground, and one of the hermit crabs slowly crawled out of the thrust of the clan and came to the palm of her hand. It was evident that, despite believing that they were not malicious, the sensation of being touched on the skin by the thin limbs was still unpleasant to her. But for the sake of possible cooperation, she put up with it anyway, and asked softly,

"Please tell me your names. ”
