Never mind the biology issue in non-undergraduate departments. , the situation of hybrids in the Lost World is like the earth scolding bastards, and they are not so popular. This is especially embarrassing for races such as elves and dwarves, which mostly have recessive genes.
In races with many dominant genes, such as goblins and orcs, it is not obvious whether they are mixed-race or not, so there will be no similar discrimination. On the contrary, such ethnic groups will be proud of their prosperous population. Whether it's mixed blood or pure blood, the more the merrier.
The more bizarre thing is humans. As long as they are handsome and handsome, they will usually be accepted. On the contrary, if they are weird and weird, they will also be rejected.
In short, appearance is everything. But in most cases, humans' acceptance of hybrids is relatively high. Because appearance is the first impression that humans use to judge a person, and ability is the real basis for judging a person. Most people still respect people who are capable.
The half-elf couple of Dove Song can establish a foothold in Shanling City and make a reputation so that they can be recommended by the soldiers guarding the gate. They must be capable people. In addition, they are willing to take in other half-elves to help in the hotel, so they must have a good heart.
As for whether this might be Sun Erniang's shop or the Longmen Inn, specializing in human flesh. At least from Lin's point of view, if you want to run a black shop, you have to open it in a remote place, and only passers-by can come and go. Doing this in a crowded place can easily cause trouble.
In addition, the world of Lost World is prone to produce undead creatures such as undead and resentful spirits. If there are rumors of haunting in the magician's base camp, the group of inspectors will come out to investigate, and all the evil tricks will be uncovered.
And is there any collusion, or the product of other conspiracy theories? Lin could only say that if he was afraid of everything, doubted everything, and had no limits to his imagination, it was really not suitable to go out. When you go out, you should be three-quarters bold and seven-cent careful.
Led by a half-elf with horns and pointed ears, Lin and others moved into a small courtyard in Dove Song. In addition to the parking warehouse, there are also exclusive stables, three rooms, a general shop, and a small hall.
This is the yard used by the smallest caravan. If the team were larger, there would be no commercial profit margins at all, and the risk would increase exponentially.
The herds of beasts and monsters encountered in the wild will not stop trying their best to hunt the meat in their eyes just because the caravan has relatively few people. And to have a certain scale of guards, of course the profits must be enough to pay for the guards. This is why the size of the caravan is not small. ,
As for Lin and his party, four people and a car traveled across the mainland, which was an unusual thing in itself. Naturally, they couldn't find a hotel that was just right for them to stay. Fortunately, renting this small courtyard is not too much of a burden for Lin. With all their belongings, they value safety more than saving money. Because the contents of the car can be roughly converted into cash, such a small courtyard can be rented for three hundred years.
After roughly settling in, the rest was left to the two girls to sort out. Lin and Fen planned to go straight to the main destination of their trip, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce affiliated with the Magician Association branch in Shanling City. Lin only brought a bag of Kir gold coins, and other than that he only had some magic props with him.
If you are not familiar with the place, the public security in the place is not so good that you don't pick up lost things on the road and don't close your house at night. Therefore, necessary self-protection is still necessary.
And the container containing the indescribable thing was carried by Fen himself. No way, only she can touch that thing, and she takes it with her wherever she goes. Lin and the two girls felt nauseous and uncomfortable just by being near that container, let alone having to move it.
In Song of Pigeons, I found out the location of the Chamber of Commerce, which is on the twentieth floor of the fortress area inside the mountain. And that floor is already quite upper level, and the mountain fortress only has twenty-six floors in total. Going further up is the Shanling Tower.
The twenty-second to twenty-sixth floors are where various offices of the branch headquarters are located. The one who handles the affairs of apprentices, the one who handles the affairs of magicians, and the one who manages magical knowledge. Just like in Wulian City, the five towers have their own duties.
The twenty-first floor is the meeting hall and the place where apprentices conduct assessments. The twenty floors further down, in addition to being the location of the association's affiliated chamber of commerce, there are also some powerful families settled here.
To reach the twentieth floor, although there are stairs for people to climb in the mountain fortress, it is no different from climbing a mountain. Back on Earth, in buildings with more than seven floors, some people actually took the stairs.
There are three ways to quickly advance to each floor. One is to use levitation to ascend from the outside, and then you will be invited by the inspectors to drink tea and chat.
One takes the elevator. In addition to several elevators operating outside, there are also elevators inside the mountain fortress. The disadvantage is that it takes time and you have to wait for the elevator to go up and down, but the cost is cheap.
The next step is to use the internal teleportation magic circle. Related magic arrays are widely used inside some magic towers. These magic towers usually do not have stairs connecting the upper and lower floors and rely entirely on teleportation. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy and is expensive to build, but it is very fast in terms of time and there is almost no waiting. Of course, the cost of using the teleportation array is also quite high.
Before the two of them arrived at the gate of the mountain fortress, Lin couldn't help but raise his head and sigh, sighing at its majesty. Fen found it funny and said: "Judging from the pictures you drew for me, there are not many skyscrapers in your world, they are much higher than here. Today you also saw your mouth opened so wide that flies almost flew in." ”
"This feeling is different. If there are skyscrapers, we will lose our aesthetic appreciation of other things and only retain those inorganic buildings. Then the next step for the earth will be to almost face the fate of self-destruction. It is precisely from the It is the experience of different aesthetics in various fields that creates the so-called culture. Otherwise, we will just be like animals, with two instincts in our lives."
"Which two?"
"Eat and mate."
All right. This time the lich, who considered himself well-informed, was speechless.
There is an urn at the gate of the mountain fortress. It looks old but is well maintained. However, there is a magic tower guarding the mountain ridge. It will take a fierce battle to reach this urn city. Lin was suspicious in his heart.
Now that the war years are far behind, this barbican city has become a checkpoint to enter the mountain fortress. There are many people waiting to enter the upper level, waiting under the rows of elevators. However, no one was paying attention to the teleportation array. Only the magician guarding it was chatting.
The teleportation array can be said to be the thing that Lin was most interested in after coming to Lost Land. As the saying goes: time is money. What could be more valuable than this kind of teleportation magic that does not require time to fly, take trains, or waste time on transportation.
The apprentice-level three-ring magic arbitrary door is Lin's key research project in addition to astronomy. Especially now that the Earth has been found, the only remaining obstacle on the way home is the question of how to get back. The magic categories related to teleportation have naturally become the focus of Lin's attention.
I traveled all over Xijia District before, wanting to see the teleportation magic circle with my own eyes, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance. Now that an opportunity is right in front of him and he can experience it for himself, Lin is eager to give it a try. So he looked at Fen beside him with a pair of shining eyes and asked: "Let's go up in the teleportation array, okay?"
In response to this man's inexplicable excitement, Fen poured a bucket of cold water, moved the container in his right hand in front of someone, and asked: "With this thing, where do you want to be transported to?"
Lin was stunned and asked: "Will it interfere with the function of magic?"
"In essence, the magic of Lost Land is to use power to forcefully change the status quo, or change cognition. Simply put, if you want to change something, you must have a power more powerful than it before you can do it. As I said, this thing is still connected to his original body. Is there any existence with higher power than them in this world? As far as I know, there is not. Of course, there may be others other than what I know. I can't guarantee it. And it's obvious that the magic circle doesn't have such a level of ability to teleport Him. So if you want to use the teleportation array, if you're lucky it won't work, if you're not lucky "
Hearing this, Lin's face became quite ugly. He then asked: "Will it be transported to the world where he is?"
"I don't know, I've never tried anything stupid like that. If you're interested, maybe you can give it a try?"
"Forget it, let's take the elevator."
"Elevator? What is that?"
"Well, okay, that's not the elevator, that's the one I'm talking about." Pointing to the elevator in operation. Fen nodded and walked to the end of the queue together.
The order here was quite chaotic. Lin didn't notice the rules for riding the elevator for a while, so he stood and watched. Maybe it was Fen's appearance that was very conspicuous, or maybe it was her status as a great magician that was so dazzling, but after a while, someone came up to greet her.
An apprentice girl came to Fen, bowed respectfully, and asked: "Your Majesty the Great Magician, which level of the fortress do you want to go to?"
"Floor 20, where the Chamber of Commerce is located."
"Why don't you just use the teleportation magic circle? It will be more convenient and faster there."
"No, the things I have on hand are not suitable for teleportation magic. So if you can help me arrange this, um" "Plank Road Elevator." "Okay, Plank Road Elevator."
"Okay, Your Excellency, I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible."
When the girl returned to what looked like the console of the elevator on the plank road, she said a few words to her colleagues. A loud bell was heard, and the notice behind the console was replaced with the word "Layer".
Suddenly the people waiting made a little noise. Lin Zai guessed that maybe it was Fen's dissatisfaction caused by jumping in line. However, due to their status, no one dared to really make a fuss. Perhaps it is because of her beauty that most men want to maintain their gentlemanly attitude and leave some good impressions.
In short, under everyone's sad eyes, Lin followed Fen and entered the spacious plank road elevator. 11
