The paper man called himself Kasa, and he came from the Kingdom of Baili. He said that this was a peripheral roundabout of the Kingdom of Baili, a place used to resist the impact of void fragments and storms.
"You will fall here. You should be sucked into the one-way passage and then be rolled here. Such accidents happen in the void, and some twisted spaces cannot be seen at all."
Casa looked at the wreckage of the spaceship in front of him curiously: "That's your flying prop, right? It's really big, can I touch it?"
Francis and Bing discussed it and said yes.
So the paper man walked carefully to the side, stretched out his paper-like hand, touched here and looked there.
At this time, liaison officer Bin began to show his expertise.
"Mr. Casa, we come from the Yao civilization and are followers of the Yao God. Have you heard of the Yao God?"
"No, we only have one giant [Baili] who created the world here, but the Baili Giant died long before the establishment of Baili Kingdom."
Casa pointed to a place among the ruins, where there were two stone pillars, both decorated with golden flowers.
"Is this the flower you planted?"
"That's Sand Rose."
Bin told the other party: "Under here are buried two of our companions who died in this accident. According to the tradition of the Yao people's flying boats, two sand roses will be planted on them, hoping that they can rest in peace."
"That's it. I'm really sorry."
A surprised expression appeared on Casa's face: "But in the twists and turns of the one-way passage, very few people survive. This is the first time I have seen people who fell here and are not dead. Your ship should be very strong.
.”
He patted the inner shell of the snail boat with his hand, his flaky hand slightly bent.
Francis also said: "Are you all in this shape?"
"Yes."
Casa didn't mind this, he said: "This is a way of life in Baili Kingdom, called [folding paper]. In this form, we don't need to take in food, our bodies are light, and we consume very, very little.
very convenient."
Bin touched his mandible: "Then I have a question. What will happen if you fight? Will you get entangled in a ball, or tear each other apart?"
The paper man laughed loudly: "Good question! But our fight is not what you said. In this era, everyone is fighting. Because the fight is to solve the problem of who is right, and there will be people watching, so at this time
Let's dance and fight, whoever wins is justified."
"Actually, there are two main reasons for this custom. One is that everyone has to have some fun, and the chief justice strictly prohibits fighting and hurting others. If you win a fight, you will be punished, and if you lose, you will get hurt."
"Secondly, people from Baili don't actually touch each other easily. This is a very private and intimate act. You can directly know the other person's true thoughts. It's quite disgusting for two people who are fighting to touch each other."
Francis thought for a while, it was indeed a bit strange for two people to get into a ball and then read each other's minds.
"This is acceptable."
Bin looked at Francis: "Our ancestors of bones always play collision games, why not dance to look more handsome. Let's add some music accompaniment or something, and it can also attract passing girls, such as vampires, blood elves and catwomen.
"
He shook his fists happily: "That way, fighting will have multiple meanings. Not only must you defeat the opponent, but you must also gain recognition from the outside world. Maybe there will be a date or something."
Bin turned around and asked: "If you are dating, or like each other - you also have this desire, right? Then what will you do?"
"Flesh and blood is the kind of flesh that sticks together and rolls around. The way our skeleton ancestors make love is usually relatively gentle. They remove their arms and connect one arm to the other person's shoulder. This is called a side-by-side partner.
"
"Of course, there are also some who are more playful and intense. For example, some like to connect their heads to each other's spine, some will connect their hands and feet, and some like to assemble their bodies together to look like four arms and four legs. I
Personally, I prefer the traditional school, but I don’t reject this kind of intimacy..."
Francis couldn't listen anymore: "No need to say it in such detail!"
Only then did Bin stop.
Cassar, the paper man, said: "Unfortunately, our only way is to touch. As you can see, we ourselves are liberated from flesh and blood, but we cannot express it so enthusiastically."
"Even very close people will not be in contact for a long time, because being able to see each other's true thoughts is a very risky thing in itself. But we also have our own way, and we will give these gifts to each other.
The gift becomes a part of us.”
"For example, if you fold the gems into paper, you can turn them into thin pieces of paper and give them to the other person. If the other person accepts it, it may become a part of you."
"Or necklaces, rings, hair accessories, clothes...anything is fine."
Bin opened his mouth wide: "Wait, I understand, this is a declaration of sovereignty, right? Putting your gifts on the other person means that this is my person, and keep other people away."
An understanding smile appeared on his skull.
"That's what it means."
Casa explained: "If you turn the gift into a [folded paper] and connect it to the body, it will become a part of the body, just like your bones. Of course, not all will just increase, but some will decrease."
Francis understood.
This is a process of mutual transformation and change between partners of Baili people. Through additions and subtractions, the shape of the pieces of paper will also change.
Change also represents changes in their relationship.
"But actually [folding paper] like ours is very convenient... Do you want to become a folding paper too?"
Casa suggested: "You can't leave anyway. This is a place that gods cannot enter. It is a hermitage created by a hundred-mile giant. There is only a one-way passage."
Francis replied: "Sorry, I have no intention of changing my race."
"Me too." Bin agreed.
"That's it."
Casa was not very disappointed. He said: "Do you want to go to our country? Baili Country has not seen outsiders for a long time. You will definitely receive preferential treatment from all parties in the past."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Francis and Bing decided to wait.
They just prayed to the newly built statue and are still waiting for the god's oracle. As long as the god notices this place, they can go back.
Before leaving, Casa warned: "Okay. But you'd better move away from here. This place is a fall and impact zone. The edge and underground will be better. A lot of stones and debris will fall from the air, which is very dangerous."
The fact is as he said.
The dust and gravel falling from the sky never stopped, and a month later, a meteorite rain hit here.
But these are all things that voyagers have learned.
They were already prepared.
Francis made new adjustments to the project plan. He and Bin changed the camp into a cave-style structure, protected by stones and the remaining metal of the flying boat, and began planting cloud roses on a large scale.
In the past, cloud roses have always been considered a flower species used for festival celebrations. They will fly into the sky and turn into flower-shaped clouds, which are of high ornamental value.
It is suitable for the environment here. It has the characteristic of "swallowing clouds" and can grow rapidly.
The two buried the Almighty Stone in the soil and planted rose seeds. Although this method is difficult to maintain in the long term, it is necessary for now.
The heavy fog provided a certain amount of moisture, coupled with the strong nourishment of the all-purpose stone fertilizer, allowing the roses in the depression to grow rapidly.
During this period, Francis and Bin built a small garden with stones, and also used the remaining plastic pieces of the flying boat to build a protective roof and fixed it above the garden.
He used his knowledge of magic talismans and the [Rose Magic Talisman] to create the [Indestructible] magic talisman structure.
The cloud rose, which normally takes two months to bloom, bloomed with white petals in 22 days under the almighty stone's ripening.
One after another, cloud-like roses flew into the sky. They swallowed the clouds and grew rapidly. Soon, the sky here was painted with a large number of flower shapes.
After Yun Rose repaired the sky, the meteorites no longer fell in one piece, but only scattered small fragments and loose sand.
Francis and Bing high-fived each other.
"It's done!"
This is the strategy they discussed.
They are in a very small world, with a large number of cloud roses covering the sky above to form the first layer of defense network to avoid direct bombardment by meteorite rain, otherwise it will be difficult to escape wherever they hide.
Cloud roses have the [Counterattacker] characteristic, which can shatter the meteorite that hits them first. They can grow rapidly by swallowing clouds. Even if the initial panel is not high, there are no natural enemies here and they can become extremely strong.
The windless environment here also makes the cloud roses more stable and move extremely slowly, ensuring that they cover the sky above their heads.
After years of exploring the near-earth world of the void, the voyagers have accumulated a lot of experience and have many countermeasures for survival and camping in the wild.
This method of transforming the sky shocked the paper man Casa.
"Can roses block meteorites!?"
He looked at the white clouds and flower clusters in the sky, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face: "Don't flowers only grow in soil and water?"
"That's normally the case."
Bingga laughed and put his arms on his hips: "But we are the Yao people, the people of Yao God. The roses of the Yao people can catch clouds in the sky and swallow sand on the ground. They serve as sentry towers when placed in the city. Hold them in your hands.
It can also be used as a weapon."
He patted the weapon case containing [Black Magic] on his back.
"Speaking of which, we also have a kind of rose, which is a bit similar to Casa's. Do we carry that kind of rose on our ship?" Bin looked at Francis.
Francis is in charge of supplies.
He immediately understood what Bin was saying.
"have."
Francis took Casa to the simple rose garden nearby.
In addition to cloud roses, some other roses are planted here, including gentle green roses, attendant white roses, conqueror purple roses, calm blue roses, etc.
The roses of the Yao people can be of great use at critical moments.
Francis pointed to one of the thin, medium-sized roses and said, "This."
There was a solemn expression on Kasa's face. He carefully approached and observed the rose at close range. He touched the rose and shivered all over.
"This... is [folding paper]. You can also fold paper??"
"no."
Francis said: "This is the ever-changing paper rose. To a certain extent, it also has some characteristics of origami. Its petals can be spliced and bent at will like origami, and it is also an excellent material we use. We made [
Origami Avatar] can replace the user's death once, which can be of great help at critical moments."
"The scapegoat rose? Origami incarnation..."
Kasa's voice was trembling: "Can you make [stacked paper]?"
"To a certain extent, does it count?"
Francis didn't know what the other party meant: "It's just one kind of rose."
"You guys! How many roses can you grow?" Casa became excited.
Bin said: "Although we are not professional gardeners or rose experts, we can still do basic planting, and it is not difficult. It is just that this place lacks nutrients and environment... If there is an almighty stone, we can plant it on a large scale.
"
"I have it, we have it!"
Kasa gasped and said: "We will give you as much as you want! We have things like the Almighty Stone everywhere!"
Francis and Bing were stunned when they heard this.
The paper man sighed: "The number of our [folded papers] is getting smaller and smaller now. The bottom paper left by the Baili Giant is no longer enough. Everyone is very anxious..."
