Chapter 447: Terrarium
It was actually less of a cage and far more like the terrarium that people kept their lizards, turtles, frogs, and pet insects in. It was currently empty of any terrain or the other little decorations people used, but as Sage took a look around at his surroundings he saw that he wasnt alone. Well, the Chameleon Mantis that is. Sage was hidden within it, and the six inch tall mantis was locked in a large clear walled cage. There also happened to be at least another dozen such cages in the room, at least that he could see. The cage was on top of a steel work table, or at least thats what it looked like. He could see the door to the front and to the sides of it he saw a medical style countertop with cabinets above and below. There was what looked like an examination table, with an extending arm that held lights and a rolling tray full of tools to the side.
Turning around, the rest of the room had two hallways. One of them was populated with terrariums and aquariums like the one he was in, while the other had larger cages with larger animals in them. His current vantage point made it hard for him to distinguish what exactly was in those cages, but his new location seemed quite apparent. Looks like I ran into the local animal handler, veterinarian, or zoologist.
Sage let the Chameleon Mantis do whatever it wished, not bothering to guide it any longer. Instead he focused his attention upon the person who had, presumably, captured him. The man was wearing a blue jumpsuit like everyone else, with the special symbol on his chest. The symbol wasnt of a different color and he still didnt know their language so it was a mystery as to the rank of the fellow. The man had thick brown mop-like hair that had quite a lot of height and volume. After a few minutes, Sage stopped wondering at how much access these people had to hair products because a few more people entered the room.
One of them wore a set of hexagonal framed glasses and pushed them up his nose. The blond man moved closer and stared into the cage. He seemed to be examining the Chameleon Mantis quite closely and writing things down onto a clipboard he was carrying. Or at least, thats what Sage assumed it to be. The other new arrival was actually the same older woman that Sage had been following before, the one with the golden symbol on her chest. She actually walked over to the cage and her eyes started to dilate. There was a sudden pressure building up around the Chameleon Mantis that Sage felt through his link. After a few moments the pressure disappeared and then the woman nodded to the guy with the dreadlocks. She spoke for a bit and the man lit up with a bright smile, putting his hand to his shoulder, a gesture Sage took as a salute. The woman left, and the man with dreadlocks did a little dance in place. He said something to the blond man in glasses, but the fellow didnt even turn towards him.
After a few hours, the blond man left the room and the lights dimmed down. Left to his own devices, Sage moved into the Universe Ring and copied over the events of the day into a Memory Sphere. Specifically focusing on the language and the context as they spoke. With enough time and effort, I should be able to reverse engineer their language. Or at least enough of it that I can catch one of them and have them teach me the rest.
He dedicated one of the rooms in his manor to this purpose, starting to write out a phonetic version of each sound on the walls and trying to pick out the sounds coming up multiple times. While he was working, a ghostly projection appeared behind him and started laughing. Sage turned around and glared at Guan Zhenyan, Didnt we agree you werent allowed to come into my private room?
Eh, this isnt your bedroom. Also, I was bored. Talking to those bug-people is like trying to talk to a wall. Its far more entertaining to watch you struggle. Didnt you say you came from the Holy Flame Sect? Why havent you ever heard of a Hearts Tongue?
Eww, a what? That does not sound right.
From the look that Sage gave him, Guan Zhenyan suddenly felt odd. Sage was looking at him like he just found out his biggest secret and it was unclean. Guan Zhenyan turned away and his projection started to fade away, Just ask that fatty, youre boring me.
