To make up for yesterday’s second update, I finished setting up the scheduled sending but it didn’t work. T_T
——I am the dividing line——
Accompanying the arrival of the Queen is a scent of fragrance.
Fragrance is generally used to describe the scent of a beautiful woman, often with an ambiguous pink color.
But here, Xiangfeng is just an ordinary word with no unique emotional meaning.
After all, even after living in the ant world for a long time, I gradually accepted my current body. However, you have to make a fundamental change in the protagonist's aesthetics and think that a female ant with a hard shell, fluffy bristles, six jointed limbs and a pair of huge compound eyes is beautiful. Even if she smells good, that is definitely not the case. less than.
The protagonist's interest in the queen in front of her is focused on her origin, mystery, and the civilization of the ethnic group she represents, rather than on her individuality and gender.
The fragrance that comes with it is so unique that it deserves a special mention.
Ants rely on smell to obtain information and distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. It can be said that smell is to ants what images and sounds are to human senses.
The unique scent of this queen ant is mixed with the scent of her race and community. Unexpectedly, the simple-minded worker ants mistaken her for the enemy. At the same time, the smell mixed with the aroma of herbs and unique glandular secretions has a sense of solemnity and nobility.
Human beings can perceive the noble temperament through sight and hearing. For example, seeing a throne and a crown means that it is the luxury and nobility of the royal family, and symphonies and chimes naturally have a sense of nobility. Similarly, ants can also detect noble and elegant temperament or occasions through smell.
The fragrance of this queen signifies nobility, elegance and solemnity. It may be difficult to put human feelings into it. Let’s take this analogy: If the body odor of ordinary ants is like spraying low-quality perfume, then the body odor of the Queen is Guerlain’s One Thousand and One Nights perfume.
Being used to the vulgar and crude body odor of ordinary ants, the protagonist couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he first smelled the queen's fragrance. He felt that he should find a way to adjust his body odor when he went back. A dignified divine envoy king, a dignified human being, should be surrounded by a worthy fragrance.
The queen walked up to the oldest king and the protagonist, and the way of communication was still the intersection of tentacles, which was no different from the communication method of the ants on both sides of the river that the protagonist was familiar with before.
This is easy to understand. When humans in modern society meet similar people from primitive tribes, the two parties will still try to communicate using language. However, humans’ complex language system brings obstacles to this kind of communication, while ants’ consciousness communication does not have this problem. kind of hindrance.
The protagonist actually read a fleeting sense of disappointment from the Queen's tentacles, and it was like a hallucination for a short time.
But the protagonist felt that maybe this was not an illusion, because at the same moment, he also saw a scorching light fading from the queen's compound eyes.
what does that mean? The Queen seemed dissatisfied with herself after coming into contact with him?
However, the Queen quickly concealed this emotion and continued to communicate with the protagonist. These are all very formulaic communication contents. If translated into human language, they would be:
Nice to meet you and hope that both parties will maintain long-term friendship and cooperation.
As a generation who grew up under the influence of news network, the protagonist actually has an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the queen was invited into the lair by the oldest king. Several warriors followed her, but the huge unicorn could only stay on the ground, standing next to Tempest.
Tempest was obviously a little afraid of the big man next to him. Although this big man was a vegetarian, the lethality of his huge horns could not be overshadowed. Just like wolves are good at hunting, but they are also afraid of an elephant that is grazing quietly.
Fortunately, there were many Angel King warriors nearby, and these familiar smells made Tempest feel at ease. As he lived in "Dongyang City" for a long time, Tempest had become accustomed to the smell of ants.
The Queen, the Oldest King and the Divine Envoy King came to the conference room again. The three parties each occupied a corner of the circular conference room and began to enter the conference mode.
The protagonist and the Ant Queen's inheritance faction have had some exchanges before, which was not very pleasant, but both parties have basically expressed their attitude of cooperation: the protagonist will provide some assistance that is considered less than the Ant Queen's inheritance faction, and the two parties will cooperate to deal with the King's Conference. Factions.
Although the protagonist was left alive, he did not specify when he would start to deal with the King's Council faction. He still needs the King's Council faction to help him deal with the more powerful Paving Ant Barbarian Kingdom.
The Ant Queen's inheritance faction didn't know whether they didn't see this loophole or felt that they still needed time to hide their capabilities and bide their time, so they didn't raise any objections.
The queen of the "legacy" of the big-headed ant communicated with the oldest king and others for a while. The protagonist listened silently and did not speak.
From the exchanges between the other parties, the protagonist learned that the "legacy" of the big-headed ants had only had brief contact with the queen's inheritance faction before, and there was a conflict after the first contact.
This is also normal. Ants from different groups usually have a big fight after encountering each other.
However, the two sides were obviously very restrained. The queen ant inheritance faction was still very weak, and the "legacy" of the big-headed ants did not seem to want to cause trouble. Therefore, the two sides quickly reached a preliminary peace treaty, delineated a buffer zone, and prepared for friendly coexistence.
Later, the ant queen's inheritance faction experienced a food crisis. They did not intend to seek help from the protagonist at first. After all, they were not completely sure of the protagonist's position and were afraid of exposing their own existence. The Lao Wang sent a messenger to request food from the "remnants" of the big-headed ants who had just reached a friendship treaty.
And this messenger of the Lao Lao Wang was obviously no match for the Queen in the negotiations. He quickly revealed everything about the Queen Ant's inheritance faction and the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, making the Lao Lao Wang very angry.
The queen and the "legacy" of the big-headed ants are obviously very interested in a series of unprecedented behaviors of the protagonist, the God Envoy King. Therefore, the queen supports the oldest king with a batch of food, but asks the oldest king to convey his request for a meeting to the protagonist.
The Lao Wang thought twice and agreed to the queen's request. While sending a messenger, he also asked the protagonist for help again.
This is the origin of this tripartite meeting.
The protagonist can understand the reason why the queen wants to meet with him. After all, many of the protagonist's actions have the same civilized atmosphere as the "legacy" of the big-headed ants.
For example, the protagonist can tame flies, while the "remaining people" can tame beetles; the protagonist has opened up farmland and breeding farms, and the "remaining people" have already used ground stone tools, and seem to have entered the stage of agricultural civilization.
In a wild and wild environment, when you first discover another civilization, you naturally hope to get in touch with it.
