Dawn of the Grey Tower

z2Chapter 96: River exploration

At night, the Shale Department used to stay near the river. Thanks to the long-term stationing of the Shale Ministry, their former camps have not been re-covered by pasture, the fire pits dug by the herdsmen, and the various materials abandoned or left over have greatly reduced the difficulty of several people camping. After leaving Batu to prepare the dry food they need tomorrow, the cheese walked alone to the riverside mentioned by Wu Qi in the name of reconnaissance. The river here is not clear in the night, only the rolling waves and the sound of the water flow can indicate that it is still full of water.

The cheese looked at the water, and magic mist shimmered in his eyes. If the parasite infected by the child in the Shale Department really came from this river, it obviously had unusual places. Moreover, he also doubted whether those parasites really came directly from the river water. Cheese has heard people say that some parasites will parasitize in the body of ants at first, they will control the ants to climb on the tip of the grass and let the cattle and sheep eat them while eating grass. Complete the transfer of the host, and when people eat parasitic beef and mutton, they will enter the body.

The parasites in that child are not large, but they can be judged by their size directly from the eggs and they are too arbitrary, as he heard in the example he said, parasites that can parasitize ants Obviously much smaller than those he found. Therefore, it is not certain that the origin of the bugs is that simple. In addition to the growth process of parasites, cheese is also curious about their parasitic range. Are they only parasitic on the human body? Or other thermophilic animals like humans? Will they change hosts? Will it be contagious?

Too many questions were interrupted before they were answered, and the mystery contained in the huge crack that engulfed the parasite was not inferior to the former. The mage felt a bit of a headache, he thought he would not have any troublesome troubles before arriving at the city of ten thousand dharma. In fact, it was the same. If Lothar was not swallowed by the crack, the cheese didn’t need to continue to intervene in this incident. But now in order to get the count back, he had to pick up the clues he had put down again.

“Hope is too late, no, it must be too late.” Today is the third day, and the cheese doesn’t know what kind of situation Losa has fallen into. But even if the Earl was only imprisoned, three days of water and fasting was enough to kill a person. He is betting, he knows this very well. He was betting that Lothar could use his own power to support the present until he could save it. Even though the mage was full of confidence in the count when explaining to others, he would still feel dazed and worried when facing the river alone.

The magic light in ‘s eyes went out. Gray robe did not see any shadows related to magic from the surrounding environment. This is consistent with the result when he observed the knot that replaced Lothar. In a similar situation, the cheese is not unseen. According to his experience, when there is no magical reaction on something that is obviously wrong, often It only means one thing. That is, the existence that makes or uses them is not comparable to the level of the wizard or the caster, so those existences use more principled power than magic.

“Wet Soul, Tower of Blood and Flesh, Mother of Crypts, Mother of Shadows …” Taboo names are read from the mage’s mouth, but he is not worried that chanting the names of these evil gods will attract their attention. The name is not so easy to call, their sincere believers or those who are valued have their own way of calling them. The cheese chanted these names, just hoping to find clues that might be related to the situation at hand. But this is really not easy, even if it is the same evil god, because they show different postures, they will use different names and different behavior styles. Moreover, these styles are often contradictory and even very different. It is not uncommon for the believers of the same Evil God to believe in different incarnations, so that the two churches are hostile to each other and even kill each other. Relying on experience to decipher the identity of the evil **** is no less difficult than engraving marks on the ship’s stern to record the position of what fell into the water.

Words, stopped. The mage no longer recites the blasphemous names, but closes his eyes and begins to take a deep breath. The surroundings begin to gradually drift away from the breath of the cheese, until only his heartbeat is left in his world. Then at a certain moment, the heartbeat disappeared. The lines of the chain appeared on the surface of the mage’s skin, but compared with the past, these chains now look thick and thin, and the color is different. This is because they were not made at the same time.

In the six years after the Rat Plague, in addition to teaching the Rat Man and taking care of his own magical research, the cheese also invested a lot of energy in his true profession, but these efforts did not allow the Master to master more The application of spells or abilities, it only allows him to accomplish one thing, a deeper self-knowledge. He is pursuing the person behind the name cheese, pursuing the essence of self. This is an indescribable process, and the result is the new chains on the cheese. These chains are not shackles, on the contrary, they are the medium ~ www.wuxiax.com ~ The best cage for trapping a beast is the beast itself, which was taught by the master of the Grey Tower a long time ago. The chain on the cheese is the same, there is no external force can trap his internal energy, unless those forces are also part of him.

The gray robe covered with chain-like patterns on his skin slowly knelt down. He stretched out his hands, and the two chains meandering down from his arms ended in the palms of his left and right hands. When he pressed the palms of his hands close to the ground, the chain on his body connected to the outside world. “Buzz!” The earth began to tremble at this moment, like the earthquake when the rift appeared. But this time, the vibration did not bring about changes in the ground, and its amplitude was not so intense. Of course, this may also be because the source of this earthquake is relatively deep …

“The earthquake just happened!” Batu said to the mage the first time the cheese came back, although he knew that the mage certainly felt it.

“It’s just a small shock, maybe the aftershock that happened a few days ago.” The cheese replied casually, letting people see nothing about his connection to this little earthquake. “Yeah, you know the river nearby. Where is the downstream flow? ”

“Underground.” The boy said without thinking. “Many rivers on the grassland are like this. I don’t know when a spring suddenly appeared, so a stream formed, and several streams merged into a river. And the river will be at their end. Re-flow into the ground. Almost every river changes its route every year, so only tribes who migrate to the same area many times can grasp the law of changes in water sources. What’s wrong? ”

“It’s nothing. Just like that, some problems can be explained.”
