Chapter 180: Elven Mountain Village
Now, on the 39th of April in 431, early in the morning, the grass blades are still sticking to the unevaporated dewdrops, the fog is very large, the air is very clean, and in the current environment, the amount of water that can be controlled has increased a lot, and with the same amount of magic, he can control twice as much water.

The two had already arrived at a mountain village, and after encountering the [Soul Shelter], the two continued to move forward for two days and two nights, and during these two days and two nights, they did not make any pauses except for going to the toilet and eating.
Generally speaking, a small settlement is monoracial, as is the case in most areas, mainly because of the differences in sleep and working hours between the various ethnic groups, as well as the various ethnic customs, the festivals that have been passed down, and finally, there is reproductive segregation: the chances of having a child born through interracial marriage are as small as none, and finally there are some social and ethical issues.
The difference in longevity is enough to cause a lot of confusion, so much that it's terrible.
Therefore, even if the government wants to build a multi-racial village when arranging it, it will ensure that the innate life difference of the races building the village will not exceed a hundred years, and the race of the inhabitants here is very pure: a large group of elves, only a few humans, and those humans seem to only stay here for a short time, just like them.
Although it was in the mountains, the road under the feet of the two was still very smooth, after all, the soil used to make the stones was everywhere, and he couldn't use it up at all, and he also smelled the smell of some natural fertilizers, and on the terraces not far away, there were elves wielding hoes.
Albert stepped forward and saluted an old elven man sitting at the entrance of the village, that is, put his right hand on the collarbone of his left chest with his middle finger, spread his left hand forward, and asked where it was.
The wizard ritual has a origin, ancient wizards believed that in the casting of spells, the middle finger in the finger is the most effective [modern research has confirmed this is a fallacy], holding it can show that you are not hostile, and the palm of the left hand aimed at the other party can also show that you have no willingness to gather magic to attack, it seems that a series of actions are very solemn, in fact, it is equivalent to saying hello between strangers.
Because the middle finger was very important to the ancient wizards, the middle finger in Avaranga also had the meaning of contempt, mockery, and the subtle overlap of certain small details always made him smile when no one was around.
The village is still nearly five days away from the Grand Canyon, because there are still a few more convenient roads that bypass the village directly, there are few visitors, so there are no hotels in the local area, generally only those who like the natural environment will come here, and there are also orcs returning to their hometowns, but there are few, and there are only a few in a year.
The two of them planned not to spend the night here, at most to buy some food, eggs, cut ducks, and a few catties of fruit, the price was not expensive, it was only eaten by the locals themselves, and only a small part of it would be sold in the town where it took five hours to fly.
"Eh, look, you're one of the kind. He pointed to a raccoon cat on the side of the road and beckoned to it, "It's the same color as you, it is said that the immortal breed generally rarely has pets, it seems to be true, we walked a big circle, the whole village is almost dozens of people, there is a total of one cat and two dogs inside and out, it seems that there are children at home." "Indeed. She squinted and sniffed, "The smell of cats and dogs is quite faint, and you can barely smell it here." ”
Immortals rarely have pets.
They will also like small animals, and the basic aesthetics are almost the same, but the long-lived species rarely have pets.
It's mainly a matter of lifespan, a person's lifespan, after cultivation, is about two or three hundred years old, and the longest known limit life span of a demon pet is more than two hundred years old, and most of the demon pets will live dozens of years less than their masters, but almost, as I said, the magic pet will be with the wizard for a lifetime, but the elves, the blood clan, the werewolf, and the situation of several known immortal species is more special.
They can easily live to three times the life of humans, five times the lifespan or even higher, at the same time, the impact of their strength on their own magic pets will be very small, animals are animals after all, it is still very difficult to run the [energy circulation system] by themselves like people, generally speaking, the life span of monsters is more than a hundred years, it is different if there is an owner, and the owner can help the pet.
Ancient elves also had pets, a demon pet from a small age to a hundred years before it died, and it will not be raised anymore, each generation of elves is almost the same, to later, this has actually become a custom, so as you can see, there are few cats and dogs in the whole village, and the others are nearby wild animals.
"After all, if you live so long longer than us, it will definitely be different. Albert concluded by adding, "Someone has been following behind." ”
"Hey, you two, are you from outside the mountain?" spoke a little child, an elven child, who should be eleven or twelve years old, "where did you come from?"
Both of them heard the footsteps of the child, and the other party had no extra cover at all, so it was not difficult to hear. "South. "Oh, can you tell me what the hell is like out there?" "You don't know?" he felt a little strange, "it's not that far from the city, is it?"
"My parents didn't tell me, they all said I was too young, and I would know when I was older. "And how old are you?" Eleven. "Oh. ”
If it were a human, he would be in the seventh grade at this age, but the elves were still preparing for the first grade.
"Actually, it's just like that, it's more people, bigger houses, more food, and you can buy a lot of things, it's pretty much the same. "Really, you won't lie to me, will you?" "What reason do I have to lie to you?" "It's only been a few minutes since we realized it, and I don't even know your name, so what's the good of lying to you? I'm about to enter the first grade, and I'll know everything by then." ”
"That's right. The elf child nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.
A little further east, there is a small principality belonging to the elves, which can also be called an autonomous region of ethnic minorities, and it is said that a small part of the area there still maintains a twisted prosperity, just like the two elves he saw, he found the scene of the elf from the depths of his memory, and the armor that was almost like a comic book made of plastic and useless except for its beauty, those elves called it art, and he still does not understand why there is such a strange appearance.
But everywhere else is normal, pursuing something more useful.
The two of them had been moving around the village, and the village of the pointy-eared people was much less domesticated than the humans, except that there were many fewer domestic animals.
Another point to note is that elves have pointed ears, but they don't have long ears, and their ears are the same as those of humans, and if they have long ears, it is not in line with the laws of evolution.
After all, the ears are on both sides of the head, and the sound needs to be transmitted by the medium, if they have long ears, like the "donkey ears" drawn in those comic works, it will cause their hearing to be hindered, and part of the direction is blocked by their own ears, and they cannot hear sounds in all directions, which is a huge evolutionary defect, and only one of the tens of thousands of elves has longer ears, which people call it, "congenital deformity".
"Don't be stunned, let's go. He was looking in her direction as he thought, so Cecilia seemed to have misunderstood something, and Albert realized after recovering from his thoughts, looking at her with the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward, he didn't explain anything.
"Okay, let's go. He exhaled softly, "Next stop, the Grand Canyon." ”
