The largest and most luxurious stone house in the settlement is a place used to entertain guests. As expected, the furnishings inside are so simple that a beggar would cry in confusion. Apart from a cabinet with odds and ends and a stone table.
Outside, there is nothing else.
The so-called 'luxury' is just a self-comfort word compared to other places. However, this group of elemental creatures have no awareness of this. In other words, in their concept, this place is already extremely luxurious.
.
But in fact, when I think about it, the reason why earth elemental creatures have such simple residences is not because they are too poor or uneducated, but simply because they have no needs.
People need to sit or lie down because they want the muscles that support the body to rest and not to be tense all the time, maintaining standing or weird postures. After the basic needs are met, various kinds of things will naturally occur.
Considerations such as comfort, sturdiness, materials used, artistic value, etc.
But just now, while taking advantage of the treatment, Lin certainly took a good look at the physiological structure of these elemental creatures. In a word, they are just a ball. Not a mess, not a ball of anything, just a 'ball'
That's all.
To put it more complicatedly, it means that there are no physiological characteristics of normal living things. The wandering land is just an inorganic dead thing like a stone. From the perspective of an earthling, it is not even a robot or a machine doll.
A very simple puppet or clay puppet can move on its own. When put on the big screen, this kind of thing belongs to the supernatural horror genre.
However, this can also explain why elemental creatures are summoned to the mysterious land to act in a dependent posture without any discomfort. This is because they are like this in their own world.
Since there is no physiological structure to speak of, of course there will be no muscles and other tissues and organs, so there is no need for rest and other behaviors. Since there is no need to rest, of course there is no need for furniture such as chairs and beds, so there will be no such things as chairs and beds in their residences.
These are very common things in the human world.
If you understand it from this perspective, cabinets are used to store things. Even if they are elemental creatures, they will have similar needs. The table is at the height of their hands, which is convenient for doing things. If they
If there is a job requirement.
In addition, they have no physiological needs for eating, excretion, etc. Of course, they have no use for many objects that can be seen in human society, and naturally they will not buy them in their own homes.
Therefore, it is very reasonable that the home of elemental creatures is so simple from a human perspective. Even if you make a disdainful opinion, you will probably be stared at like an idiot until you feel uncomfortable.
But how to deal with magicians? The few leading elemental creatures in this settlement seem to have old experience. So after inviting two outsiders from other worlds, they directly used the skill of turning fossils into mud to make the ground
It was directly raised to a suitable height, and two temporary seats were created for the two magicians to sit.
This actually saved someone from the fate of becoming a human chair. Of course Lin would not complain about the dust on these two earthen chairs, or complain about smacking his buttocks when he sat on them.
'Two distinguished guests, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. We will tell you everything you know.'
Starting with these polite words, Lin started to ask a hundred thousand why questions. However, there are many questions that elemental creatures are so accustomed to that they have to think about them before they can answer them when they are suddenly mentioned.
.It’s hard for this group of elemental creatures to seriously answer someone’s stupid questions that even Fen can’t bear to hear.
However, in these trivial common sense and trivial matters, Lin not only tinkered with his understanding of the elemental world to make it as close to the real appearance as possible. He also narrowed the relationship with this group of elemental creatures, allowing them to gradually let down their guard.
.
This is because there is no wine on hand. These earth elemental creatures do not have the habit of drinking, and most of them do not have mouths to drink from. Otherwise, the process will be shorter and there will be less need for so much elaboration.
When the Fire Lord was almost done, Lin asked in a casual tone: 'By the way, Gem Arm, let me ask. What is the origin of the group that fought against you before?'
The elemental creature called "Jewel Arm" was the one who used to have a unicorn arm and killed people everywhere. But now he smiled bitterly and said: "Friend, I am not qualified to be called Gem Arm. Call me Iron Stone."
People.'
The names of these elemental creatures are actually just names for their characteristics. Most elemental creatures do not have a unique name to represent someone like the society of Homo sapiens. The original gem of the 'jewel arm' was taken away
, his name was naturally changed.
I heard that some high-level elemental creatures have real names, rather than names based on physical characteristics. Those elemental creatures will remember all the previous memories even if the elf core is destroyed when they wake up again. Ironstone people say this
The elemental creatures are 'elves favored by the spirit of the Earth Mother'.
Regarding the group of elemental creatures that came to cause trouble for this settlement, the Iron Stone Man replied: 'They are plunderers from Moon Bay, people from the Three Gemstones Settlement. The three strongest Gemstones are constantly plundering Gemstone bodies.
I hope to completely replace myself and gain the qualification to enter the gem pit. I originally thought that a mere gem arm would not arouse their greed and attention, but I didn't expect that they would still come to my door. If it weren't for the help of two friends,
Our settlement will forever be missing many companions.'
This simple sentence brought out a lot of interesting information. Lin asked: 'It sounds like the strength between you is determined by the material of your body? And it seems that gems are the most highly regarded, why?'
This is another common sense question for elemental creatures. The Iron Stone Man took the trouble to answer: 'Because the gem body can use magic, which is something that other bodies cannot do. And during the attack, is there any magic power injected into it?
, or have magical effects, which are far different in terms of power. Therefore, we all regard the body of gems as our highest aspiration.'
'Oh.' Lin smiled faintly and remained silent. In fact, from the perspective of a magician, this is a very correct choice. Because most of the gems in the Lost Land can be classified as magic materials. And the elements
When a creature uses a gem body, the magic effect will be generated by itself with every movement of its hands, which saves the step of learning magic.
Just...hehe.
Nowadays, it seems that the cultural level of the earth element universe is still in a very primitive state. Just by looking at their fighting methods, you can get a glimpse of it.
Fighting relies entirely on fists. There is no skill at all. Strength and weakness all depend on talent. The reason why you have to transform yourself into a gem body is just because the attack has its own magic effect, which can cause more damage to the opponent.
But is this all their potential? Or should we ask, why are these elemental creatures so unwilling to make progress?
