Dean followed her to the Warcraft display area on the second floor.
Matching the luxurious architectural style, Rose Trading Company has always been famous for its wealth and rich variety of products. This new store opened in the center of the professional market, as a branch specializing in selling Warcraft, demonstrates this feature very well.
The display area was filled with various magical beasts that had been dosed with sufficient amounts of paralysis potion. Dean calculated that almost all the rare species that might appear in the empire's territory were included. He passed by the iron cage display stands made of special metals. It even feels a bit dizzying.
Dean opened the system interface and used the detection function to check the information about these monsters. He walked around, and occasionally stood there for a long time when he saw rare monsters. For a while, take another look.
I don’t know what the background of Rose Trading Company is. Many of the rare monsters on display were seen by Dean in real life for the first time. While flipping through the system information, he compared it with the content in the book. Along the way, he benefited. Very shallow.
Dean, who was enjoying himself, did not notice the strange expression gradually appearing on the face of the waitress who was responsible for leading the way.
She turned her back to Dean, muttering to herself.
What’s so good about Warcraft? He even took a step and paused for a while. Couldn't this person be here to step on the spot?
It's a pity that no matter how much she complained, Dean always had his own way of doing things. With such a weird customer in the stall, the waiter could only hold his nose and admit that he was unlucky. He took Dean around and saw all the Warcraft displays. After that, he led the people further and came to the area where the monsters were tamed.
This part displays the magical beasts that have been tamed by the elves.
Dean was also a little shocked when he heard the waiter's introduction. Although he had always heard about it, this was the first time he came to a shop that sold tamed monsters. His whole body instantly cheered up, and his expression became a little more serious than before.
He followed the waiter and walked into this room, which was much smaller than the exhibition hall just now.
As soon as he entered this area, Dean's attention was attracted by the large sealed box in the center.
It was a tree-like monster with a humanoid form. Its beautiful facial features protruded from under the bark of the tree. The head of the human face was directly connected to the twisted branches, like inverted hair, with a kind of... Twisted beauty.
These brown-black branches are intertwined together, exuding an uncomfortable and ominous atmosphere that seems to be about to die. However, they are dotted with countless vibrant green leaves, like decorations, emitting a glowing light.
Dean's eyes moved downward, and he could see the curves of the waist and crotch of the humanoid creature under the bark, as well as the countless thick tree roots below the legs, which were rooted in the soil at the bottom of the sealed box. They were not clearly visible.
These tree roots can be removed, and the trunk part is simply the shape of a human body, with concave and convex shapes and graceful curves. It looks like a humanoid life wrapped in bark and sealed in the trunk.
It makes people...somewhat uncomfortable.
Does anyone buy this thing?
Dean looked at the human face in the trees, only the outline of the facial features was exposed, and seemed to have no self-awareness, and frowned subconsciously.
He knew what kind of monster it was.
A rare monster that only appears deep in the forest, the ancient tree elf.
Although it is not powerful, it is very rare. Coupled with the bonus of appearance, the price has always been high.
But Dean felt more and more uncomfortable looking at such a monster that was recognized as having excellent appearance.
For some reason, he always felt that the trees were like coffins, suppressing this humanoid life within his body. There was a subtle sense of disharmony between the two.
Suppressing the weird feeling in his heart, Dean opened the system and checked the detailed information of this monster.
[Name of Warcraft: Ancient Tree Elf]
[Gender: Female]
[Talent: Wind Leaves Harmony]
[Introduction to Warcraft: It is composed of tree spirits and ancient trees. The dead wood that has lost the possibility of continuation binds the new life born from its own body, trying to continue its existence in this way.
The old spirit that does not want to leave and the new baby form this wrong life form together.
It has outstanding attack capabilities among Warcraft of the same level, but its inability to move is its fatal weakness. 】
[Level: Intermediate monster]
[Status: Baptized by the power of nature, the origin of life is damaged. 】
…
After reading the system introduction, Dean turned to the waiter and asked: "Is this ancient tree elf also for sale?"
The waiter shook his head, "I'm sorry, sir, this ancient tree elf is a precious competition item that is going to be sent to the auction house for auction. It will only be displayed to the public and will not be sold."
"I hope you will understand."
Dean nodded in understanding.
In fact, even if this magical beast is not an auction item, he has no intention of buying it. After all, it is a defective product after the baptism of the elves. Its origin has been damaged, and it cannot be used as a normal breeding beast when it is brought back. For others, It may be a priceless treasure, but to Dean, it is like worthless food, tasteless and a pity to throw away.
But magical beasts like the ancient tree elves really piqued his interest.
Looking at the monster locked in the sealed box in front of him, Dean propped up his chin and fell into deep thought.
As mentioned in the system introduction, the ancient tree elf is actually a kind of magical beast composed of a tree and a tree spirit.
And it is not a symbiotic relationship as people think. Its tree spirit is wrapped in the trees. In fact, it forms a state that is close to a seal, trapping it in the trees to maintain the vitality of the trees.
No wonder he felt so incongruous between the two.
The relationship between trees and tree spirits should not be a coexistence relationship, but an iterative relationship, a life-and-death relationship between descendants. The two are forcibly pieced together, and the nascent vitality and the exhausted death energy are mixed together. Only when they are harmonious can they be called harmony. strangeness.
Dean couldn't help but think wildly.
Since it is in a wrong state, why can't it be corrected?
If you separate these two parts...
The essence of reverse selective breeding is weakening, so is dismantling a manifestation of weakening, or a way to it?
Dean traced the body curves of the ancient tree elf with his eyes, as if he were using a scalpel to trace on the monster's body, which caused the leaves on the tree to tremble with excitement.
The emerald green leaves collided together, making a crisp sound like wind chimes striking each other. Dean was unaware that this pressure was brought to the ancient tree elf by himself, and he was still thinking about how to bring the symbiotic relationship together. Warcraft is disassembled into two parts.
Anatomy?
But the two are completely entangled. If they really want to be separated by physical means, the internal structure and details of their bodies must be clarified...
The more he thought about it, the more deeply he thought about it, and his expression gradually became more solemn.
The little waiter girl watching on the side was shocked, and her hand involuntarily placed on the alarm on her wrist.
"……gentlemen?"
She took a step back and probed.
"Besides this ancient tree elf, we have other monsters. Why don't you... take a look at the others?"
"Sorry, I got distracted."
Dean, who was interrupted from thinking, came back to his senses and realized that this was not a good place to think about these things. After explaining casually, he pointed at the ancient tree elf and asked.
"Do you have other ancient tree elves?"
After a moment's pause, he added with a hint of disgust.
"Those who have not been tamed by the elves."
