The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 675
As if noticing Lin Tianci's gaze, Saili continued:
"The local residents of Sepulu are mainly ordinary humans and half-orcs, and there are no other ethnic groups."

Half-orcs are actually human beings. They are different from the green-skinned orcs in the past. Just like the elves are now divided into four large groups, human beings, which are all over the multiverse world, are not only called "human beings".

Humans are more like a general term. Half-orcs are a branch of humans. They are humans that have been mutated by magic and grow animal organs from their bodies. At the same time, half-orcs also have some mutations in abilities compared to normal humans.

For example, half-orcs with rabbit ears have better hearing, and half-orcs with leopard tails run faster, etc.

Half-orcs are not uncommon, even if you don't count the time when you went to Ogaadut in the west, you have seen some in the small town called Ruthwaite in Eastern China.

But this is the first time I've seen the half-orc with wings on the back.

"The half-orcs here are all of the type with wings on their backs. There are no half-orcs with other animal characteristics. It may be a benign mutation to adapt to the environment."

After all, the environment belongs to living in the sky, and it is really convenient to fly with wings on the back, at least you don't have to worry about falling to your death.

As if seeing what Lin Tianci was thinking, Sai Li said:
"You can't die if you jump off the floating island. The float will react with the magic power in the living body. The effect is similar to falling on the sea. You will float in mid-air, and you can even swim like you are in sea water, but you can't touch it. Going to the sea is a very novel experience.”

No matter how novel it is, Brother Lin doesn't want to experience it anyway...

Looking at the giant floating ship that was gradually going away, Sai Li continued:
"The plants planted on the floating island are affected by the core of the floating island, and they also have the ability to react with the float. In addition, the thickness of the float layer is more than [-] meters and the sea water is equivalent to very calm. The local people initially made ships out of wooden boards. Sailing among the floating islands is their main means of transportation and travel. Later, after research, people slowly began to develop the smelted metal that can also have this quality, so the wooden boat gradually evolved into a mixture of metal and wood. With use, the shape of the ship is also getting bigger and bigger, and the white smoke similar to the waves can be seen on the bow and side of the ship, which is the floater with a higher density under the action of gravity."

At this time, several children who were playing with the ball accidentally kicked the ball to Lin Tianci's side, and the ball floated all the way to Brother Lin's feet as if gliding on the water.

This thing is definitely no stranger, even if there is no experience in the previous life, the favorite of the funny disciples of the Shenfumen is volleyball.

Lin Tianci kicked the ball towards a group of children who were waving to him, and the latter immediately cheered and continued the game.

After tugging on the cloak, Brother Lin immediately walked towards the village. In short, he first asked the locals if they had seen the falling meteor, and they were looking to find out where the debris was.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The area of ​​the floating island where Lin Tianci is located is not small, almost catching up with the wonderland in the clouds.There are many floating islands on the side that are only the size of a mountain, some with a few trees growing sparsely on them, and some are simply stones.

This is normal, after all, there is a village above, at least the land area is enough to be self-sufficient, otherwise, where can I find food?
Sai Li said that the floating islands at the foot of Saipuru are considered the minimum standard for inhabitation, and the standard for large floating islands is more than 20 square kilometers.

—Are you sure this can still be called an island...

The size of a floating island is based on the cores that make it up. These cores have different "magnetism" and cannot be integrated with each other. Therefore, it is impossible to pull small floating islands together to form a continent. Build exceptionally long suspension bridges to connect them.

Walking into the village on the floating island, Lin Tianci felt that there was some truth in saying 'you can only see from a distance'.

From a distance, the buildings in the village are square and square, and because they are painted with different colors of paint, they are not ugly.

But it's different when you get closer.

The building materials they used should simply be mud mixed with straw to make blanks, and then put into molds to form and dry, and finally turned into mud bricks, without even firing.

The so-called colorful paint is a viscous paint similar to asphalt, which can protect these mud bricks from being washed out by water in heavy rain, which is equivalent to a waterproof layer.

Since it is said to be similar to asphalt, it does not refer to the stickiness, but the taste...

Walking in such a village, sometimes the smell is quite pungent to the eyes, especially the houses that have just been repainted, the formaldehyde content must have exceeded the standard nearby.

On one side of the village, near the cliff of the floating island, there is a long wooden structure that looks like a pier, which is used to dock the ships that sail in the sky unique to this plane.

Behind the pier are warehouses and markets, and after that are residential houses.

Brother Lin, an outsider, should be very conspicuous when he came to the village, but everyone didn't give him any strange glances, and some even came up to ask him what kind of products he was dealing in.

For people on this plane, people who travel around wearing cloaks are merchants, but for this small village, it is a good thing to have merchants, and everyone can't wait for them to come.

And when it comes to the residents in the village, Brother Lin feels that they seem to be very backward.

This is not nonsense, clothing can directly reflect the level of productivity.

Like Eastern Shenzhou, whether it is cotton, linen or even high-grade silk, it has long been not limited to weaving into cloth, and the dyeing and embroidery techniques are much higher than here.

This is also a manifestation of the level of productivity. After all, when everyone can't eat, who cares about whether the clothes look good or not?

The fabrics of the local people's clothing are sparsely woven and have large holes, which shows that the textile technology is not good, and the color is also very single. Most of the patterns are painted with paint, and after washing, a large amount of dirt-like stains will be scattered. Even the dyeing technique is very primitive.

In addition, the people here may be because they are closer to the sun, and they all have brown skin, which makes them look poor.

"This is your illusion. The level of civilization of Saipulu is not bad, and the level is better than that of the humans in the kingdom of fairies. The reason you see the people here is that they are dressed in dilapidated clothes and their houses are simple, because this is a remote village. , when you get to a really big city, you should look at it differently."

Walking on the street with people coming and going, Saili continued to whisper through the brooch:
"The darker skin color is indeed related to the sunshine, so people with lighter skin color in Cyprus are usually of high social status, mainly civil servants who hide in the house all the year round. But they don't respect the skin. The color is dark or light, and the real high-ranking nobles of Sepulu will use gold powder or gold paint to paint the whole body in gold, which is the symbol of power."

"Why is there such a custom?"

Covered in gold dust all over...

Look more rich?

"Because the people in Cyprus are very superstitious. This kind of superstition is not aimed at a certain god, nor is it an ancestor worship for their ancestors, but a kind of superstitious worship for the ancient elves."

Why did you run out of the ancient elves while talking?
"Saipulu is a transliteration of the ancient elves, which means 'floating'. When the magic civilization of the ancient elves rose, they never gave up their exploration of alien planes. A group of ancient elves came here Saipuru, they opened the portal and established a base here, so Saipuru now also retains a very considerable number of ancient elf relics, and many planar travelers also hope to come to Saipuru to pan for gold. There is also a It is said that the floating city of the ancient elves is a reference to the floating island of Cypru, but this is only speculation, and there is no real evidence."

When Lin Tianci was in the West, he often heard Leticia mention the ancient elves. Their magic civilization is really awesome. It is estimated that they have already built the Internet, and the development level is no less than that of the earth in the 21st century. Space exploration has gone beyond.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg of the ancient elf civilization. At the peak of their civilization, they had colonized countless planes. When they came to a plane, there was an [-]% chance that they would hear the legend of the ancient elves or find their relics there.There are very few planes like Sevilla and the Kingdom of Fairies that have no trace of the existence of ancient elves.

"The human beings in front of you were still living with stone-polished tools at that time. The arrival of the ancient elves was equivalent to enlightening them. They also regarded the ancient elves with golden skin and a height of about two meters as gods. The skin is a light golden color similar to honey, so until now the local nobles would paint their bodies as 'Gods' to show that their rights came from the gods."

There was a bit of sarcasm in Sally's subsequent tone:
"Because it is equivalent to the colony of the ancient elves, the locals will also use part of the magic and magic technology taught by the ancient elves. They regard the precise subject of magic as a gift from the gods, and they will use it but never study its principles. To analyze the principles of magic is blasphemy."

"What do you say?"

"Let me give you an example. A mage from Cyprus will worship the spell book of a certain spell all day long, thinking that magic is bestowed by their gods, and never researching why the magic can be released according to the method in the spell book. This is a very ridiculous move, no matter how much he worships, no matter how much he prays, the power of the spell will not become stronger."

That is to say, knowing what is not knowing why.

"So their magic has never been developed. Anyone who tries to understand and develop new spells will be classified as a heretic, but you don't have to worry about this. The locals are very tolerant of visitors from other worlds. The only advantage of their unique belief is There is only 'I believe mine, it doesn't matter if outsiders believe it or not'."

The appearance of Lin Tianci is very different from that of the local people. It should be said that the appearance of the yellow people in Eastern China is very different from that of humans in other planes and regions. As long as he lifts his cloak, anyone can see the strangeness of this person place.

——Is there something wrong with this description?

"In short, this is a less dangerous plane. If you are looking for fragments here, I recommend going to a real big city to find a local temple of writing. The place that reads as the Magician's Association shows your identity and ask."

Sai Li didn't know that the Gate of the Three Realms would send monks near the debris, so she gave this suggestion.

Since the Gate of the Three Realms sent him to this floating island, it means that the fragments should be nearby, so it is better to go to the inn first... or inquire about it at a well-informed place such as a tavern and hotel.
