In the settlement, the largest and most luxurious stone house is used to entertain guests. The furnishings inside were as expected, so simple that a beggar would cry in despair. Except for a cabinet with scattered things and a stone table, there was nothing else.
The so-called 'luxury' is just a self-consoling word compared with other places. However, this group of elemental creatures do not have this awareness. In other words, in their minds, 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 meeting the basic needs, various considerations will naturally arise, 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, it is a mass. It's not a mess, it's not a mass, it's just a 'bump'.
To put it more complicatedly, it means that there are no physiological characteristics of normal creatures at all. Fang Mi Di is an inorganic dead thing like a stone. From the perspective of an earthling, it is not even a robot or a machine puppet. It is just a very simple puppet or clay puppet that can move on its own. This kind of thing that is put on the big screen 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 tissues and organs such as muscles, so there is no need for rest and other behaviors. Since they don't need to rest, they certainly don't use furniture such as chairs and beds, so their residences don't have these 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, making it convenient for them to do things if they have work needs.
Beyond that, they have no physiological needs for eating, excreting, 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 homes of elemental creatures are so simple from a human perspective. Even if he expressed disdainful opinions, he would probably be stared at like an idiot until he felt uncomfortable.
But how to deal with magicians, the few leading elemental creatures in this settlement seem to be experienced. So after inviting two outsiders from other worlds, they directly used the skill of turning fossils into mud to raise the ground to a suitable height, and created two temporary seats for the two magicians to sit on. .
This would save someone from becoming a human chair. Of course, Lin would not complain about the dust on the two dirt chairs, or complain about sitting up and smacking his buttocks.
'Two distinguished guests, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them. We will tell you everything we know, and we will tell you everything we know. '
Starting with this polite remark, Lin started asking a hundred thousand why questions. However, there are many questions that elemental creatures are so accustomed to when they are suddenly mentioned that they have to think about them before they can answer them. It was hard for this group of elemental creatures to seriously answer someone's stupid questions that even Fen couldn't bear to hear.
However, in these trivial common sense and trivial matters, Lin not only tinkered with his understanding of the elemental world, making it as close to the real appearance as possible. It also shortened 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 have no habit of drinking, and most of them don't have mouths to drink. Otherwise, the process will be shorter and don’t require so much arranging.
When the Marquis of Fire was almost done, Lin asked in a gossipy 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 'Gem Arm' was the one who used to have a unicorn arm and killed people everywhere. But now he gave a wry smile and said, "Friend, I am no longer qualified to be called a gem arm. Call me an iron man." '
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 as in Homo sapiens society. The original gem of the 'Gem Arm' was taken away, and his name was naturally changed.
I heard that some high-level elemental creatures have real names, rather than names based on physical characteristics. Even if the elf core is destroyed, those elemental creatures will still remember all the previous memories when they wake up again. Ironstone people call such elemental creatures '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 Gemmen are constantly plundering Gem bodies, hoping to completely replace themselves and gain the qualifications 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 knock on my door. If it weren't for the help of two friends, our settlement would forever be without many companions. '
A simple sentence brings 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 answered patiently: 'Because the gem body can use magic, which is something that other bodies cannot do. As for the attack, whether it is infused with magic power or has magical effects is a huge difference in terms of power. Therefore, we all regard the body of gems as our highest yearning. '
'Oh. Lin smiled slightly and remained silent. In fact, from the perspective of a magician, this is a very correct choice. Because most of the gems in Lost Land can be classified as magic materials. When elemental creatures use gem bodies, they can generate magical effects by themselves with every movement of their hands, which saves them 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 the way they fight, you can get a clue.
Fighting relies entirely on fists, there is no skill at all, and strength depends entirely 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 we should ask, what is the reason why these elemental creatures are so unwilling to make progress?
