Chapter 347: A Foreigner with a Heavy Accent
At Elise's question, several of the Githyanki looked at each other, then at Larriel.
As if they had made up their minds, they all retreated to the sides, including Larriel, so that Iris could see the center of the team.
Because it was dark, Elise didn't notice what Larriel was blocking behind her.
When the figures that blocked her view all dispersed, she realized that it was a creature with short stature, which could barely stand, and had a very weak breath of life.
"What's going on—wait, don't talk yet.
I feel that this creature is being rejected by the world..."
The young Gisyanki who had been pinned down before rushed forward again.
He was extremely emotional, which caused his fellow tribesmen to reach out their hands, trying to stop this reckless guy.
But the young Gith, known as Zach, is extremely fast.
He stepped over the obstruction of his fellow tribesmen and walked close to Iris. He clenched his right fist, placed it against his chest, and knelt down on one knee.
This was the highest etiquette he had learned from several human knights.
“My Lord God!
My sister... My sister has been like this since she was born.
You have also seen the crux of her immense weakness;
Her condition has become very bad since more than ten days ago... I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for a few more days.
Miss Larrel said she had a friend who was the best therapist she had ever met.
Please... please help us and let us see that therapist!
Miss Larrel says he's right here with you!
Please help us..."
……
"Is this a mushroom?"
Alvin pointed at the strange-looking thing in front of him with an incredulous look on his face.
Judging from its appearance, it definitely doesn't look edible.
Especially a human from the great eastern country of Blue Star, who had witnessed the lethality and hallucinogenicity of mushrooms.
"Is this what you eat?"
"Yes!"
Nimia, who was busy picking mushrooms, didn't understand what Ivan meant by his expression as if he had seen a ghost.
“These mushrooms, which look like little umbrellas, have a sweet taste;
I haven’t tried those palm-like ones, but friends who have tried them say they are good… uh, very comfortable…”
Ivan was still standing there in a daze.
"Is there something wrong with your eyes? They're glowing!"
"I know! I'm not blind..."
Nimia picked a mushroom the size of an orc's palm and threw it into the pocket on his back. He felt that he could no longer carry any more weight, so he simply patted the dirt on his hands and stood up with some difficulty.
"In the underground world, there are many things that glow."
An orc who was eager to show off picked up the bag on Nimia's back with one hand and gave the other a silly smile.
But when he turned around and looked at Ivan, his expression immediately changed into one of looking at a pervert.
“You human pervert, stop making a fuss here.
If you still have strength, come over and help pick more!"
“Sir Ivan, this is a normal characteristic of underground mushrooms and fungi.
Although this would attract animals to eat their bodies;
But it can also allow its spore powder to attach to these animals."
Nemia pointed in the direction behind the glowing fungi.
Although it was pitch black there, Alvin could still see scattered fungal lights in the darkness further away.
"The reproduction of species is a wonderful art everywhere..."
For some reason, this 1.4-meter-tall black girl suddenly sighed.
He looked at Nimia with a bit of surprise, and it seemed as if he saw the group of druids in the gray haze forest.
But he didn’t know that the druids were concerned with the entire natural cycle;
And this black girl in front of me, like most dark elves, only cares about reproduction...
"What about that one?"
Alvin pointed at a dark shadow a little further away.
Under the illumination of the glowing mushrooms, the outline looked like an umbrella-shaped mushroom taller than the hole.
"How can mushrooms grow so big?
Eh?
Why doesn't that giant mushroom glow? "
Following Ivan's finger, Nimia's pupils flashed scarlet light.
She kept the drow's natural darkvision activated.
However, Dark Vision, which was sensitive to heat, could not see anything in the direction Ivan pointed.
Nimia seemed to remember something and raised her hand to release a [Light Spell] in that direction.
Before the spell could take effect, she canceled her darkvision—the intense light from the spell would burn eyes with darkvision activated.
Just as the scenery in front of Nimia returned to normal, she finally saw clearly what the tall, temperatureless thing was.
"Get out of here!"
The dark elf turned and ran, shouting at Alvin and the others.
"That's a giant mushroom man!"
……
The Gith team that visited Breath of the Moon Sea consisted of six people, including Larriel, in a standard adventurer's combat formation.
As a second generation Gith born on the Material Plane, young Zach has little understanding of the ancient history of the Githyanki and the Githzerai.
Compared to the other Gith, he and his sister are more like humans born in the south.
The accent, manners, and some behavioral habits are exactly the same as those of the young humans in the southern towns.
During the decades that Iris raised Xiling and Lian, although she lived a secluded life, she could not avoid contact with humans in the south.
“Your accent smells like Redstone, Gith.”
Iris, who was leading the way, couldn't suppress her curiosity.
She asked in a lighthearted tone, glancing at the impulsive young Gith.
Zach was slightly stunned by the active response.
His ancestors had told him countless times about the cruelty of the gods and their indifference to life.
Therefore, the "God" in our impression would not care about such trivial matters.
"Your Highness Elise, I have lived in the suburbs of Red Stone Town since I was born.
Although I have to admit that the appearance of the Gith can be scary to other creatures at times, I still have some human friends my own age…”
There's nothing wrong with what Zach said.
Whether it is the Githyanki or the Githzerai, their appearance does not seem to have any traces of the main material plane.
In order to survive in the void without atmosphere and gravity, their skin seemed to be drained of moisture, becoming waxy, yellow, dry and shriveled.
The biggest physical feature of the Gis people is that they have no nose.
It was as if their noses had been gnawed off by something, and there was nothing below the cartilage of the nose bridge.
Only an inverted triangle-shaped protrusion remains - this is their breathing hole that has not yet completely degenerated.
"peer?"
Iris immediately discovered the highlight.
"According to the age scale of the Gis people, your peers wouldn't all be old men, right?"
