Chapter 188: “Amphisbaena”
After returning to Tore Forest, I decided to conduct experiments right away.
Originally, I had planned to gather the Newts and leave them somewhere, but it didn’t make much difference whether they were placed in a separate territory or left by the river.
“Keeping the plaza was a good idea. Let’s try various things right away.”
I only brought five Lizardmen with me.
While there were quite a few Hiers Newts, their appearance aside, they were classified as amphibians. Probably.
It’s unclear whether the game clearly distinguishes between amphibians and reptiles, and even if it does, it’s uncertain whether dealing with amphibian Newts would lead to Dragons.
“─ Before that, I wonder if dragons are reptiles. And what about Lizardmen? They were bipedal, and their skeletal structure seemed suitable for upright walking. Does that mean they are closer to dinosaurs? Then, are dragons dinosaurs?”
It’s said that the biggest difference between dinosaurs and reptiles that have survived until modern times is the suitability of the skeletal structure for upright walking.
Following that definition, it could be said that Lizardmen are dinosaurs.
