Dawn of the Grey Tower

There is no name between shell people, because they do not need this kind of thing to distinguish each other. The pheromone secreted by each shell will have a subtle difference in smell, which is a more accurate way of calling than any reference. In the shell society, shell people will consciously store the same kind of pheromone that they have communicated with. In the conversation with other people, they need to mention this kind of pheromone to release it as a supplement. However, it is worth mentioning that the shell people never seem to divide, because they do not need to worry about the reason of food, their society has always been in a fairly primitive structure, so in the original expression of shell people, there is no similar , You ". This concept came about after they met Fioni and Fetis. It wasn't until that time, when the shell people first encountered other creatures that could communicate, they realized they needed a name to collectively refer to their race. The "Shell Man" is actually not the name they immediately thought of, but the name Fiorni gave them after learning the message from the Shell People.

That is to say, maybe one day in the future, when the shell people have more contact with other races, thus prompting them to change their language and thinking style, they may call themselves another name. Just like elves don't call themselves elves, the dwarves never think they are short. In the eyes of the shells, humans and other races without shells may be weird. Only before that, there was a lucky man who became the first person with an individual name in his race.

"Thorn Crown, are you sure our direction is correct?" Thorn Crown is the name of the Shellman who led the way for Lothar and the others. The name is from Peg, the reason is that the shell of this shell looks like a crown of thorns. Of course, no one except Peg himself can agree with this association. However, considering that this is just a code name, everyone agreed to this naming method, and the thorn crown himself was quite satisfied with this title, although the witch explained to him for a long time what is a thorn and what is a crown. After that, he still liked the name. In addition, after inquiries, there is no gender for shell people. The reproduction of shell people is provided by two shell people, which are part of the raw materials of new life. That is to say, shell people can be either mothers or fathers. In the words of witches, this phenomenon is not uncommon in marine animals, and they call it hermaphrodite. So when "he" is used to refer to the crown of thorns, it is just because there is no proprietary term in the language of gender-specific races to refer to such biological individuals.

"Direction, unmistakable. Front, big, food." The idea of ​​the spiny crown came back to Lothar's mind, and the count nodded. In the shell man's concept, the bones of the giant were their food. The shell man will grind the huge bone, absorb the nutrients that can be involved in it, and then spit out the indigestible inorganic matter. And what kind of bones can be called "big" by shell people? Then at least half the size of the pelvis is required. A few people had seen a few scattered bones on the way before, but the crown of spines didn't use big to describe those things.

"Ask the guy why he didn't see the shell of the shell man along the way since he was a large food. There are a lot of small bones we saw just now." Jialun said with a slight frown, she was right. Within the safe range outlined by the salt line, there are a considerable number of shell debris near almost every bone. This is intriguing, because if the shells really feed on the bones of giants, then they will have enough time to devour this miracle bone. But the fact is that the shell people seem to have not really caused damage to each bone. Although the bones along the way have traces of being eaten, the general shape is completely abnormal, but the surrounding shells are dead. a long time.

It felt like the shell on the bone was destroyed by some force, and then the bone recovered itself slowly like a creature. When they used this question to ask the thorn crown, the latter also said that they did not know what happened to the compatriots on these bones. In addition to repairing the salt line, shell people rarely leave the bones they were born with.

"His name is Thorncrown, not that guy." The earl replied that he still liked the shellman, because from the information that the latter passed on to him, these creatures did not have the complex emotions that Lothar was familiar with, There is only a simple and simple joy. Jia Lun pouted, saying that he would use the term "thorn crown" next time, and Lothar conveyed the witch's problem to the shell on his shoulder. The reason why Lothar conveyed it was because the shell pheromone could not be spread too far, especially when the team kept moving forward.

There is a little hesitation in the thorn crown's answer. Due to the special communication method, the shell person's tone when he speaks has no room for concealment. "I don't know, communicate, scarce. Big food, margin." The meaning of this may be It is understood that the thorn crown does not clearly know the destination. This is because the team ’s destination is located on the edge of the salt line protection zone ~ www.readwn.com ~ And from the route that the thorn team took the team forward before the thorn crown, he originally It should be the intention to go to a few shell settlements nearby to ask about the situation ahead, but since those settlements disappeared for unknown reasons, no one can provide further information.

Losa frowned slightly. He thought that the status of the first few settlements was just normal. After all, before the team set off, the old shell man in the pelvic settlement asked them to investigate one thing, that is, the shell people did not Way to reproduce this matter. It stands to reason that the reason for this kind of thing should appear on the shell people themselves, but the old shell people's stubborn request requires the team to take over this commission. At that time, several people just thought that this was his emergency medical treatment, and the team did need a guide, so Jia Lun agreed first. But now thinking of the encounters of the previous settlements, the count began to feel that there might be some connection between these two things. And the bad hunch brought by this kind of speculation appeared more than once in the plague period of the ratmen.

"Tiao Guan said he didn't know what was happening. But I think it's better to be careful." Lothar's voice sank, and his companions who had been with him for a while knew that this was his performance when he was in danger. Fioni and Peg glanced at each other, and the Kraken nodded, and his palms approached his knife handle arbitrarily between the swings, ensuring that he could be pulled out for combat at any time. In such a slightly oppressive atmosphere, a huge object gradually faded the shadow wrapped around it and appeared in front of everyone.
