After a while.
The grouse flapped its wings and asked, Why did you say chicken words?
Are you also a chicken? But you look too much like a person!
Matthew smiled amicably.
I just learned your language by chance. Theres no need to be so surprised. There are many capable people among humans who can communicate with other species. Mages are the best among them. Of course, if youve heard the legends of Druids, you wont find it strange.
The grouse shook his head.
I dont know what a Druid is, but I think thats because I dont have much Imowledge.
After all, Im just a grouse that has just reached adulthood. Matthew asked the new resident about his living experience.
Do you like this forest?
The grouse looked around.
Its alright. The environment here is not bad. There are no natural enemies, but theres a lack of food.
It took me a few days to find an earthworm or something in the ground.
From a rational point of view, this place is not suitable for living, but for some reason, there is a force that attracts me and urges me to settle down here.
I even have the urge to return to my home in the barren mountains in the north and bring my family here. Matthew understood.
This was the effect of the Life Sanctuary.
He immediately opened his arms in welcome.
As the owner of this forest, I welcome more outstanding residents like you.
The grouse looked at him warily.
Do you want to eat my eggs?
Matthew asked,
Can you lay eggs?
The grouse was stunned for a moment, then immediately said happily, I cant lay eggs. Then its fine.
But there are many hens in my family. They are good at laying eggs. Do you want to eat their eggs? Matthew blinked.
I can promise not to eat it.
But there are always risks in nature. Im sure you know this better than me. The grouse thought for a moment.
Thats enough. We dont want to be like those idiots on the farm and become human animals.
If your promise is true, I will consider bringing my entire family to this forest.
We will live and multiply here. God bless us. I hope that snakes, wolverines, and other terrifying creatures will never appear in this forest!
Matthew naturally could not guarantee anything.
He knew very well that as the power of the Life Sanctuary continued to spread, all kinds of creatures would appear in his forest. The paradise that the grouse dreamed of was destined to never come true.
But as the first grouse to live in this forest, I can give you some preferential treatment.
Matthew mobilized the power of the oak tree domain and cast a permanent cover on him.
This state allowed the grouse to have a powerful stealth effect when it walked into the domain. Especially when it was still, it was difficult for the enemy to discover its existence.
The grouse immediately felt Matthews sincerity.
He was overjoyed.
Youre amazing, as expected of a human who can speak the chicken language! Thank you very much for your gift. I will tell all the grouse in the family what you have done.
Right, Chicken Man, I have a gift for you.
As he spoke, he flapped his wings and ran toward the riverbank of the Old Woman River.
Matthew followed closely behind. You can call me Matthew.
The grouse dug hard on the riverbank.
Got it, Chicken Man.
After a while.
He dug a small hole in the soft sand.
There were some strange broken stones and the bodies of some earthworms buried in the pit.
In the middle of these things was a silver necklace with a few small sapphires embedded in it.
The grouse passed the necklace to Matthew.
He filled up the hole in the river bank.
Then, he ran back into the oak forest without looking back.
I should go. If others find out that Ive been talking to a human, they might think that Im an indecent chicken.
I know you have a good impression of me, but we still have to keep our distance.
Goodbye, Chicken Man.
[Prompt: You have completed an in-depth conversation with the grouse.
Current animal conversation progress (1/300); Your XP +10;
Your Nature Affinity has increased slightly.
Your Knowledge (Nature-Birds)+l;
You have received the gift of the grouse, Swimmers Necklace.
[Swimmers Necklace: An ordinary sapphire silver necklace with the remnant spirituality of a drowned healthy swimmer.]
The wearers swimming ability +10, but there is a small chance of being attacked by water ghosts while swimming.
The value of the necklace was average. It could only be said that it had the potential to be a collectable.
Matthew put away the necklace.
He knew very well that animal conversation was a way of practising the domain of nature, just like planting trees.
He tried to activate this ability on the spot and then walked into the oak forest.
However, he didnt hear anything along the way.
This was normal.
The animals in the oak forest were few in both species and numbers.
More importantly
There was a threshold for animals to talk to.
Not every animal could communicate with humans. Even if they had this ability, they had to have a certain level of spirituality in order to complete the conversation.
Compared to humans, most animals had very low spirituality.
Generally speaking, the smaller the size, the younger the age, and the further away from human society, the lower the spirituality of animals..
