Chapter 13 Infiltrate the Village
Waiting for the storm to subside was a long process. Cheese and the others felt bored after sleeping. The moisture could not be dispelled by the flames alone, but only comforted people.
Fortunately, this place is safe enough. There is no need to worry about external threats in the town of Mulan. There is no trace of battle on the walls built by giant trees. Considering the time it was built, it is enough to show the secret and remoteness of the place.
This is true. The only food brought by the Mutton Lonely is the fruit of the plant and some rhizomes. Although the quantity is large, the quality is the degree to which a child who is familiar with forest knowledge can do his best to collect it. It is hard to say that it is abundant.
It is not realistic to prepare food for a group of mushroom orphans. They only need to stuff part of their body into nutrient-rich soil to obtain all the necessary substances. I am afraid that for mushroom orphans, the quality of food is the difference between this piece of soil and that piece of soil but not that piece of soil.
Surprisingly, in addition to preparing food, Mumen Muslims also brought an iron pot to Cheese and the others. Gray Robe is sure that a group of Muslims who are afraid of fire cannot develop metallurgical technology. In other words, this iron pot must have come from an individual or group of other intelligent creatures. After a simple judgment, the answer was about to emerge in front of Gray Robe.
"Human craftsmanship, but the processing method is relatively primitive, and there is no decoration to see. It should be the product of a small settlement." Cheese knocked on the edge of the pot, then stretched it out of the window, and the rain hit the pot body, making a sound of varying weight.
Half the pot is filled with it and put it on the heat. On the one hand, it is because there is too much water and it is difficult to boil it. On the other hand, the strength of the one-arm is limited, so it is difficult to retract the iron pot filled with water.
"A group of people were lost here, and the pot in their hands was picked up by the orphans?" Pinwei looked at the pot and made a reason for inference. He was not a person who liked this kind of thinking game, but there was nothing else to do now.
"There are many possibilities. Yuni, your homework today is to use this pot to speculate on the living environment and habits of the owner before. For the uncertain part, you can ask Pinwei." Cheese said, standing up and moving his limbs.
"What about you, teacher?" The apprentice raised his face and saw the faint smile on the corner of Cheese's mouth. Gray Rooster made a gesture of not panic, and then flipped out along the window.
What is more surprising is that even though Yuni and Pinwei saw Cheese rolling through the window, there was still a cheese next to the window. He looked out the window quietly, as if he was quite interested in the rain. A few seconds later, the Cheese turned to look at the two of them, showing a smile of unknown significance.
The clone is a spell that appears in many stories. Like many spells with similar effects and different principles, there are also many ways to leave a clone that can be faked and real.
Cheese uses a relatively advanced spell, relying on the steam rising from the iron pot and a piece of clothing he has worn. The advantage of this spell is that the gray robe itself can partially receive information from the clone and control it to make a limited response. The disadvantage is that it will restrain part of the concentration of cheese during the casting period, and the spell will be automatically removed when the gray robe itself loses consciousness or is depressed.
It is one thing not to want to cause trouble, but it is another thing to be in the unknown and do nothing. Cheese's plan is very clear. He wants to use the cover of rain to deceive the tree mother by relying on his clone, and then walk around the village of Mulan to see their ecological conditions. He has made up his mind. Even if he finds Mulan to be a man-eating monster in the process, he should not interfere. This is the edge of the blank world, and they are truly isolated and helpless people.
Moreover, it is not too rare for humans to be treated as food and even livestock. This is the case with vampires as rulers, and there are even some closed areas that advocate cannibal customs. This kind of thing cannot be truly eliminated by one person.
Cheese stepped into the rain again, but his mentality was completely different. Before, he was a wanderer in the rain, eager to find a tree hole that could avoid the deadly cold water. Now he is a ghost in the rain, living in the dim and light flow, walking in the noisy and hideous rapid sound.
Besides, he is the only one, and he has a way to minimize the influence of rain, such as turning it into a part of rain. There are many magics in the magic that can make people swim like fish temporarily in the water. Since the rain has been so heavy, the same magic can naturally work.
In fact, he had a question before, why did the Mutton Man need to build a town? Judging from the dialogue translated by Yuni, the reproduction of these creatures is no different from the Mutton Man in nature. Their birth comes from the collapsed and dead giant trees. Then they should regard these giant trees as a breeding ground for the origin of life and the survival of race, rather than turning them into building materials.
One possible explanation is that not every part of the giant tree can become the nutrient for the birth of the Mutton Orphans. They only use meaningless places to better protect their compatriots. Another possibility is that this is not due to the wishes of the Mutton Orphans, just as they do not want to have a good idea of having a good relationship with cheese, and the birth of the town also comes from the will of the mother of the tree.
Cheese was curious about what the so-called tree mother is. Giant trees have wisdom because of their age and even influenced their residents. This is also reasonable. Mutton is born from wood and worships its origin.
But when the two are combined and become a cycle like a god and a believer, the gray robe becomes alert, which is very similar to what the Mother of the Crypt once did. The closed settlements and a single faith, even if there is a normal development context, still stirs the nerves of the gray robe.
In short, let’s take a look first and observe. Although it cannot be absolutely attributed to plants, examples such as Mushroom Lone are different from ordinary humans or intelligent biomes, and they have their own value.
Huge wooden houses are more like flower houses or greenhouses. The houses of Mutton Own rarely see windows or chimneys. After all, they do not need sunlight. The windows on the walls are just to facilitate communication between Mutton Own indoors and outdoors. This is a good thing. If the windows are not important, it means that no one will pay attention to it. Cheese can better use the windows to observe the residents inside. As for the dim environment, the mage with changeable means is not difficult.
So in the rain, the gray-robed mage lay on the side of the window like a little thief, slowly poking his head out. A large lonely mushroom head first came into his eyes, which scared him almost screamed.
