Dawn of the Grey Tower

Latest URL: What should a city look like? It is estimated that this question will be despised. Human cities stand on flat or undulating land like mountains, and so do elf cities. Even dwarves who live on mountains will create platforms in their rocky homes to simulate the feeling of the ground. Build functional buildings separately.

But again, the cities of spiders are not like this. They don't have the concept of being down-to-earth. The spiders living here may not touch the land from birth to death. For them, relying on solid soil Building buildings with rocks is a kind of fantasy, and the branches of various shapes and growing are the main load-bearing bodies they can rely on. There is no foundation at all, let alone a bottom.

From the outside, the so-called Skloss City looks like a fruit wrapped in spider silk, or a honeycomb made of spider silk. It hangs high between the spider webs, and its huge edges are embedded in the spider silk, running through the upper layer. and lower level. This does not mean that the silk city is bounded by these outer walls, in fact they are not outer walls, but foundations.

Countless spider threads radiate from the city to the surroundings. They are thick and thin, and they are the stable devices that fix the city and the road leading to the city. Youni and the guide below him were on such a road, above them, a few spiders crawled hurriedly with something in their mouths. Below them, four spiders carried a spider with an exceptionally large abdomen towards the city. Needless to say, the latter was preparing to give birth. Around them, there are countless roads like this, and the passers-by on them are even more innumerable.

The spider seemed to want to let Youni take a look at the outside of the city, and stopped for a few seconds before walking towards the inside of the spider web. Soon, they passed through the hollow in the shape of an inverted triangle. It is worth mentioning that the roads here are mostly in this shape. As a stable geometric figure, the appearance and use of triangles do not necessarily have many human factors. Inside, it is more likely that many spider webs extending in different directions naturally pulled the gap into this shape.

In short, along the triangular channel, Yoni stepped into the core territory of this octopus race for the first time.

In all fairness, Yoni is definitely not a person with shallow knowledge. Whether it is the unique architectural style of Riverrun or the magnificent buildings of various schools in the City of Laws, they are all enough to become a talking point for ordinary people to brag about for a lifetime. But they are human cities after all, or in other words, cities built with the concept of human construction, flat cities.

This is not the case for Skloss. The buildings of Skloss have various orientations like its roads. They also have their own appearance, but they are not as clear-cut as the buildings with wooden and stone structures. Spider silk is the main building material here, but it is not the only building material. Apart from spider silk, wood, leaves, stones and even other inexplicable things have become reinforcement and decoration materials.

For example, on the inside of the triangular passage when they entered, there were three pieces of wood that played the double role of the door frame and the floor.

Youni guessed that the road under his feet should be some kind of main road. The reason is that this spider thread is wider and can accommodate four spiders crawling side by side. Its boundary is even marked with colored stones, which looks strangely beautiful. .

The apprentice's nervous heart slowly let go, because he could feel that the people living here were not some monsters, not some cursed wraiths, and the residents here were all the same except for their appearance and habits. Is this the strong acceptance of being a mage? Or is it inclusiveness as a rushing person? It's hard to tell.

You say that doesn't mean it's safe here? Of course, different habits mean danger, and the spider's diet is likely to include creatures with four limbs. However, Youni has seen many similar things a long time ago. Rats can eat people, cats can eat people, dogs can eat people, people who are extremely hungry, hehe, what is the difference? In the final analysis, a creature with an appetite for itself is indeed frightening, but don't forget that people also look at the world with such eyes.

Eating is a topic that humans have been discussing for a long time, and it is probably the same for all creatures that need to eat to obtain nutrition. So why fear? There is nothing that can't hurt me, this is the original appearance of the world. The question is never how to keep others from harming oneself, but how to avoid the real danger in the possibility of harm.

"Here, it's very beautiful." From a human point of view, the city of spiders is not beautiful. The reason why the strange beauty is added as the article shows that it is not an ordinary way to appreciate it.

"Thank you. This is our home, it would have been more beautiful." The spider replied, crawling up the spider silk path, and saw that other spiders around would stop and look at them humanely, curious about Youni .

Youni also saw the residents of this city at close range. Except for the spiders he encountered, the spiders living here are not all the same. They should be divided into many different types in terms of biological classification. Although they are all spiders, their body shapes and body structures are also different.

"What happened here?" More beautifully, it means that the city of Skloss has been damaged in some way recently, and it has become no longer what it used to be. There are not many reasons that Youni can think of, and there is only one closest one.

"Rain. The previous heavy rain severely damaged the upper layer of our territory, including the city. The drainage work has just been completed recently, and the upper part of the city has been severely damaged. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The weaving masters are repairing it."

Now the apprentice finally understood why the other party brought him here. The rain washed away the spiders' homes, and he mentioned the spider webs to be used in the water. This will definitely cause some misunderstandings for the spiders. Neil has a way of making spider silk waterproof.

This is a bit difficult to ride a tiger. Youni himself does not have this kind of technology, and he doubts whether those weaving masters have the patience or interest to contact cheese. If they are willing, whether their teachers can forgive such extravagant behavior. It is natural to feel uneasy when things start to go beyond what one can afford.

Just when Youni was feeling uneasy, a small butterfly came from nowhere and landed on his shoulder. The butterfly was very strange, its wings were made of feathers. The apprentice blinked and looked left and right, only to find the light messenger on his shoulders. The expression on his face obviously changed several times, but he quickly regained his composure.

The butterfly was the messenger sent by the cheese before, and it had just conveyed the teacher's words to the apprentice. The content of the discourse is:

Go ahead and do it, I'm watching.
