Chapter 2257 The special features of the Mulan people
"Then do you know the direct reason why the Mulan people cannot give birth to craftsmen? They are all human beings, is there any essential difference?" Xia Duo asked again.
In fact, this is also a problem that worries him. The current Mulan people are still unable to become craftsmen of the Imasca creation magic system. If they cannot become mages, then what is the use of buying these people back?
It may even be that because of the mixed blood with the Nese people and Langas people, those two groups are unable to give birth to mages. If this is the case, then the Mulan people can really be called the common enemy of all magical civilizations!
Regarding this problem, Jam also shook his head in confusion, "As early as where the Mulan people appeared, the craftsmen of the empire discovered this phenomenon and tried to solve it, but more than a thousand years later, this problem has
Still exist."
"Isn't there an explanation?"
"Of course there are explanations, and there are two mainstream explanations. One is to attribute this problem to His Majesty Kotan, the master of craftsmen who first discovered the Muran people. He thinks that he deliberately restricted it in order to prevent the Muran people from counterattacking and becoming the mainstream of the empire.
There is a lot of market for saying that the talents of the Mulan people are great, but the problem is that the upper echelons of the empire are actually very willing to accept the Mulan people and do not want to waste such a huge population."
"What about the other explanation?"
"Another explanation involves the origin of the Mulan people. The Mulan people are not an indigenous race on the main plane, but were found by His Majesty Kotan, the great master of craftsmen, from an alien plane. Perhaps it is the difference in the planes.
This makes it impossible for them to give birth to craftsmen who belong to this plane."
"That's it!"
Shado thought thoughtfully. Although Jam's second explanation seemed reasonable, it was actually not very tenable because he had been to an alien plane, even though it was as unsuitable as the azure plane.
He lives in a plane, but he has never heard that different planes have exclusive magic systems.
Furthermore, it is true that the Mulan people come from an alien plane, but the Orientals also come from an alien plane! The Orientals can learn elf magic or Nese magic, which is enough to explain why it is not an alien plane.
He felt that maybe there was something wrong with the Mulan people themselves. Maybe the so-called "finding them from another dimension" was not true at all. The fact was that the Mulan people were simply artificial humans!
In Sha Duo's impression, it seems that only artificial humans and clones have such huge flaws that are different from natural humans. Imasca's creation magic seems to be based on matter, but in fact it already includes the foundation of flesh and blood.
Maybe the Mulans are really artificial humans!
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the upper echelons of Imasca may not have the original intention to accept the Mulan people as Jam said. Although they know that making the cake bigger will give everyone a larger share, there are new
The emergence of rentiers will inevitably reduce the proportion of income for vested interests.
People's sense of superiority is often not reflected by absolute numerical values, but by comparison with other people.
It's like everyone has one million. The actual superior experience is the same as if everyone only has one dollar or 0. But if one person has one, although the absolute value is very small compared to one million, it only takes
If everyone else is 0, then he has an absolute sense of superiority.
Although Chateau is very disgusted with this way of cognition, it is undeniable that this phenomenon is difficult to avoid before civilization reaches great abundance.
Looking at the current situation of the Mulan people, even if there are a few wise men in the upper echelons of Imaskar who see the benefits of accepting the Mulan people, most of the vested interests may not have such a realization.
It is difficult for an individual to compete with an entire class, so it is not incomprehensible that the Mulan people are suppressed.
But there is also a problem here, that is, why are the Mulan people alone? Shouldn't they suppress all underachievers?
Is it just because the Mulans have the largest population?
In Xia Duo's view, population size is hardly a reason for a race to be absolutely excluded. There should be some underlying reasons that are difficult for him, an outsider, to understand.
With this in mind, Xia Duo temporarily put aside his plan to purchase a large number of Mulan slaves, at least until he was sure that the Mulan people could apply the Nese magic system.
…
While chatting, the group of people walked to a shop. Jam stopped and introduced Shado: "This is a display shop affiliated with the largest chamber of commerce in Inuplas. It is sufficient to meet all the needs of customers."
"Yeah?"
Through the facade, Xia Duo could see the occasional fleeting figures inside. He immediately realized that the interior of the store might not be as big as it appeared on the outside, so he nodded in agreement.
As soon as he entered the store, Xia Duo felt a warm atmosphere that was completely different from the outside world. It was more like a shopping mall than a store.
Although the Mulan people still make up the majority inside, there are also many Imaskans dressed in strange clothes, wandering around in front of each stall.
"Xia Duo, there are a lot of people here!"
"I see it."
Shado looked around and saw poles marked with Imasca characters, which should be similar to shopping mall signs or store names on Earth, but unfortunately he did not understand the Rushum language here.
However, he could guess some of the stores just by looking at the products, so he refused Jam's introduction, chose a direction on his own, and stopped in front of a store.
"Tax officer Jam, help me ask what is for sale here?"
"Do you need a more detailed introduction to Master Athos? If you just want to know about the products sold here, just ask me."
"Then tell me what those are?" Xia Duo pointed to the box-shaped items on the shelves in the store but clearly had observation holes, and asked Jam.
"That's a cooking tool unique to Imaska, called a [baking box]. It can make bread, barbecue and other foods."
"Is it?"
Xia Duo tried his best to hide the embarrassment on his face, but in private Niya had already laughed. The two of them had just made a bet. Niya guessed that it might be some kind of experimental instrument used by the craftsmen of Imasca, but Xia Duo was
It is said to be more like a storage safe, which may be used to store certain items.
No matter what the result is, what Niya said is closer.
In fact, Chateau had thought about things like ovens and microwaves, but he was paranoid that it was impossible for Imasca, who was still in the classical era, to create those things.
This is where the embarrassment comes from.
If it's just that you lose a bet, it's more than that.
"Are all the baking boxes here?" Xia Duo asked again.
"It can be said that most of them are, but there are also different types of baking boxes, such as more focused on making bread, or more focused on making meat."
“Are many people buying this cooking tool?”
"A lot, almost every household here in Inuplas uses it."
"Can the Mulans also use it?"
"Of course!"
Jam glanced at Xia Duo strangely, "Actually, many of these utensils are designed for use by the Mulan people. The craftsmen are so busy with their work that it is impossible for them to make food themselves!"
