Dawn of the Grey Tower

In a world where magic exists, the word evolution is not taken for granted. The geology of this world has not yet developed to the extent that it is possible to search for fossils on a large scale. What can be identified is often a very small number of fossils that are huge in size and clear in structure.

However, this does not mean that people do not believe that the appearance of creatures will change. The most obvious example of this is the giant dragon, a giant dragon in ancient times. According to the description and the remaining bones, its size is comparable to a large human town, and it is a real giant.

And the current giant dragons, such as Migo and Jinlong sisters, although they are also huge in size, they are nothing compared to those ancestors.

Not only that, plants and animals that have been growing in magic-filled areas for a long time will gradually evolve different characteristics, such as epidermis that only adapt to a very special environment, or a small number of organ mutations. These evidences are enough to show that organisms will adjust their own forms of existence to reproduce.

Therefore, the concept of ancient people is not very new to the gray robes. During their apprenticeship, they have seen and even dissected creatures that are suspected to be human beings in an earlier era.

They come from the desolate corners of the world, and most of them are isolated from most of the world for some reason, and there is an unexpected abundance of food, so that the process of adapting to the environment tends to stand still in the constant cycle of life.

In addition, those creatures called demihumans can also be counted as close relatives of humans. Humans are so susceptible to outside influences that there are far more types of demihumans than the subspecies of elves and dwarves.

This often becomes the reason for those long-lived intelligent species to look down on humans. In their view, humans who will undergo obvious changes in appearance within a few generations are not mature races at all. They are too dependent on the external environment and lack real internal support. But on the other hand, the adaptability of human beings is also beyond their reach.

"Can you tell what era people are from?"

The same gray robes, in addition to the different fields of magic research, the emphasis on miscellaneous studies also varies from person to person. Curse Crow's strength lies in the historical knowledge of human society, and its achievements in the field of biological structure are relatively poor.

Especially after the ratman plague, Cheese's knowledge in this field has made great progress. He has his own unique insights into some details of animals and plants. Relying on these insights, Cheese at this time is no longer As a good student of Yun Yiyun, he has been able to make relevant judgments independently, which is why the cursed crow handed over the leadership to him.

"Very ancient. Look here, the shape of these bones is natural, which means that it is adapted to the environment in which this person lives. Adding here and here, it can be basically judged that this thing did not undergo drastic changes and had to change itself Stance. In this case, his history may be longer than we imagined, and even...maybe the same as Longji Mountain. Because according to common sense, such a corpse should have been buried deep in the ground, and it is likely to be buried along with the uplifted mountain. pushed here."

Cheese is actually not sure about this inference. The traces of the remains of the creatures in front of him are beyond his knowledge. It can be said that this is the oldest creature he has ever seen, except for the void elves.

However, apart from when the corpse lived, he could still identify some other things, such as the huge breach behind it that pointed to the cause of death.

"Open from the inside, the process is not slow."

This is the cheese's conclusion about the wound, which is generally seen in the host killed by the parasite. There are often animals in nature that inject larvae or eggs into their victims for their development, and some of them will target humans.

"I can see this. However, his internal organs have not suffered any damage. If it is a parasite, the thing seems to be eager to escape, and nothing has moved except for the wound."

Curse Crow supplemented Cheese's discovery, proving to the latter that his biological knowledge was not so bad that he couldn't see it.

The cheese shrugged, and then checked the wound again, "Does this gap remind you of a chrysalis? When it was broken from the inside, the gap should look like this."

"According to the proportion of this gap, the thing that drilled out of it should be the same size as this person. If so, this is not called a broken chrysalis, but a molt. As far as I know, there are no molts in all branches of human beings. . " Curse Crow said this, glanced outside, then lowered his head and began to examine the corpse again.

The cheese was wondering the behavior of the cursed crow, because they had already investigated the information on the remains, until a low voice came to his ears through magic, "That thing is in front of the door."

Cheese controlled his expression and didn't try to cast a spell. What the cursed crow said was obviously the white ghost they had seen before, and it was not surprising that it could not be discovered by the two gray-robed mages.

The strange thing is, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com There is no stone wall between the two now. Whether the ghost has good intentions or malicious intentions, it should take action now. Why has it not gone further? The cheese took out the knife from the tool without a trace, pretending to try to cut the remains, but actually observed the entrance of the cave with the reflection of the blade.

Sure enough, a white shadow stood outside the door. At the same time, he also noticed that as the blade approached the remains, the long-haired white creature outside the door made a move to get closer, and when he lifted the blade, the creature retreated back to its original position and remained still. Does this mean that there is some connection between this remains and the ghost?

Longji Mountain is ten thousand feet high, there are not many things here, and the connections will be relatively direct. Cheese doesn't think that the white-haired ghost feeds on the remains. In fact, the remains have already been petrified and lost any possibility of providing nutrition. So why does it care so much?

"Do you think it's possible that something came out of this person's body, but it's not a parasite."

Cheese's words did not use magic to transmit sound. Although he knew that most of the other party could not understand the language of modern people, sometimes the information had a more direct way of feeling.

In some stories, the ghost who is out of the shackles of the body can understand all languages ​​​​because its way of understanding things is more direct.

"It's not a parasite, what could it be?" Curse Crow responded with some confusion. He didn't know why the cheese made the noise on purpose, but he could roughly guess that it should be a temptation.

"It's hard to say. For example, himself. The so-called inner essence is separated from the original shell. In layman's terms, ascension?"
