Formicea Chapter 66

The chamber of knowledge cos into view.

It's still rather weird that this super important structure looks like all the other caves from the outside.

Aside from a larger gateway and the dod shapes of hardened applicant, which protrude out of the earth, it isn't much different from a storage hall or barrack.

The first thing I notice is the strong presence of guardians in front of the building.

I think they might have increased the security because of the humans.

Other creatures would probably have no interest in sothing not related to food but the humans might beco curious.

Naturally, my giant escort draws their attention long before I'm even close.

On the other side, it could be the princess pheromone.

Either way, a short ti later I'm together with Olira at the entrance.

I tried to sound friendly since those guardians are still much larger than and born killers.

Being intimidated by this is all too understandable.

All the more strange is it when they after a short pause do exactly as I say and move to the sides.

I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to such creatures obeying my every word.

However, it's ti to get Olira inside.

As soon we enter the large entrance hall, a scholar approaches us.

(E)

I wanted to say culture, but I don't even know if that concept exists within the swarm.

It's usually a word that describes a nation not only based on their discoveries and patriotism, which the Formicea certainly have, but also their art and style.

And for sure I haven't seen any Formicea painters or singers.

Now that I think about it, pheromone singers would be interesting.

But I should return to the scholar.

This one seems to have processed my answer and responds.

(scholar)

A babysitter?

Are they going to observe us?
