Lin's spy stepped into a place filled with the stench of decay.
This place was located at the edge of the Emerald Dragon City. The ground was covered with soft and black soil. There were many protruding mounds on the ground, and many Mao Jades were shuttling back and forth between the mounds.
In fact, this was the area where the Emerald Dragons placed their corpses. It was known as the 'Graveyard'. Regardless of whether it was the noble level or the lower level, the Emerald Dragons would place their dead companions here and bury them. In front of Lin, there were several Emerald Dragons digging a hole and throwing a large number of corpses into it.
Dealing with the corpses of their own kind had always been a very special thing. Every creature had a different way of doing it. Most creatures with higher intelligence would feel sad about the death of their companions, and the Emerald Dragons were the same. However, for the current Emerald Dragons, they would at most feel sad for the companions they had a good relationship with. They would just casually throw the corpses of other Emerald Dragons together.
Although this place was used to bury corpses, the surrounding walls were built higher than other areas. This was to prevent carnivorous creatures from being attracted from outside.
This place was also the place where Mao Jades gathered the most. They could easily dig into the ground and eat a big meal. The Emerald Dragons would drive Mao Jades away in other places, but here, they needed Mao Jades. Without Mao Jades to deal with the corpses, not only would this place smell bad, it would also be easy to spread all kinds of diseases.
Although Mao Jades' hair would also stick to a lot of fungi, it was much better than leaving the corpses here to slowly rot and grow bacteria.
Lin planned to do some tests on the fungi here. The spy reached out a finger, dipped it in the soil on the ground, and put it in his mouth. It seemed that there were no fungi here that were particularly dangerous to the Emerald Dragons.
In terms of fighting diseases. The Emerald Dragons didn't make any special progress. They were currently eating various kinds of plants to test which ones were effective. Then, they basically relied on their own immunity. If a disease broke out in such a big city, they might all be wiped out.
However, Lin's main purpose here was to see a new story passed down by the Emerald Dragons. Next to the cemetery, the Emerald Dragons built a building called the 'mourning hall'. It was dedicated to commemorating the dead Emerald Dragons.
The mourning hall wasn't big. Lin walked in through the entrance. Many Emerald Dragons were gathered inside. Some white stones were placed under the walls on both sides of the mourning hall. The Emerald Dragons silently looked at the stones without saying anything.
These stones represented their dead companions. If they wanted to commemorate them, they had to pick up a white stone and put it in the mourning hall. Then, they would pray. Emerald Dragons would be responsible for cleaning these stones after a while..
This was indeed very normal, but the Emerald Dragons had a special kind of imagination. They believed that after death, they would still have consciousness. ... and the Emerald Dragons were the Emerald Dragons..
This was the Emerald Dragons... And Lin had a word for it: 'soul'.
... Emerald Emerald Emerald Emerald dragons.......... the Emeremerald Dragons......... Emeremerald Emerald Dragons... Emerald Emerald Lin,.......................
. At first, Lin thought it was just their imagination, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But recently, she found that it was worth researching. Emerald Emerald Dragons and Emerald Dragons had the same explanation for the Emerald Dragon's soul. It was a body of thought that existed after death.
Generally speaking, the main consciousness of a creature was born from the connection of brain cells. They stored memories and produced thoughts. So why would the cells still have thoughts after death?
This seemed to be the Emerald Dragons' imagination. They believed that they could continue to 'live' after death. It seemed impossible. But recently, Lin discovered something interesting.
For example … electricity.
Every creature's brain had electricity. Or rather, every creature had electricity. In this graveyard with a large number of corpses, Lin could clearly feel electric currents similar to brain waves in the vicinity.
Electricity came in many different forms, but Lin preferred the general term. So, she didn't classify them in detail. This kind of electric current was quite unique. The location of a creature's death was usually very clear. But generally, it required a very sensitive sensory organ.
Lin also discovered some special places. Sometimes, there would be newborn babies. They didn't learn anything, but they knew how to run to places where corpses were buried.
This was an interesting phenomenon … Lin now believed that after brain death, some kind of special information like electric waves would be produced, which would affect the relatively fragile brains of the babies.
Lin originally thought that it required cells, a large amount of matter, and electric current to store information, but now it seemed that electric current alone could store a lot of information.
Perhaps the Emerald Dragons called this kind of brain wave 'soul'. Lin had been trying to figure out this phenomenon recently. It seemed to be related to many mysterious things …
It seemed that the Emerald Dragons' thoughts weren't necessarily completely groundless. They could still discover some truths, but they liked to put more imagination on the things they discovered, which eventually led to them becoming completely unreal.
In the following time, Lin recorded some of the electric signals here. She decided to store this information and release it to the brain worm when she returned. Perhaps the brain worm would be able to decipher it? After all, the brain worm used electric signals to transmit signals. Of course, Lin could also transmit electric signals. However, Lin couldn't decipher any "memories" from the signals here.
In Lin's opinion, information alone wasn't enough to represent thoughts. However, she found this mysterious thing quite interesting.
After recording this information, Lin's spy left the graveyard and returned to Emerald Dragon City's Upper Zone. She then arrived before Susumi's palace.
Now that she had more or less "experienced" everything in Emerald Dragon City, she only had one last doubt left.
Susumi's attitude toward Lin was similar to Tucker's during the ten years Lin took care of her. However, after returning to Emerald Dragon City, Susumi didn't mention Lin at all. Instead, she became a king and established her own kingdom.
Susumi had received all kinds of education. Hence, she could help the Emerald Dragons improve rapidly. Unlike other species like the Skeletal Dragons, even though they had equal intelligence, they hadn't developed at all during this short period of time. This showed how important it was to have a "wise person" in a group.
However, should she talk to Susumi now? Floating astronomy.
