Chapter 1208: Labyrinth Treasure (8)
There are still some differences in the tail of the mermaid - Madrudin's tail has a fish fin, which is a structure similar to a membrane, while the tail fin of the priest of Bona is slightly thicker, like a dolphin fin.
This is a serious problem: dolphins are not fish, they are mammals!
The mermaid's tail can say a lot!
For example, bat wings and sparrow wings are two different concepts!
Leo also noticed the problem and said: "The specific situation cannot be analyzed, but, preliminary guess, this is the evidence of the gods doing biochemical transformation, and the creatures that were used for modification were definitely caught casually, regardless of whether he was a dolphin or a tuna, anyway, the tail is almost the same, but the powerful one is here, it seems that the mermaids do not take the difference between tails too seriously, and there is no mention of the tradition that mermaids with different tails cannot intermarry, indicating that they are not reproductively isolated, which shows that Their genes are still dominated by the upper body, as for the lower body, it is the less important dominant recessive gene determination, if this is the case, it can only be said that the genetic modification technology of these gods is too strong, the Chinese people, no, the earthlings haven't even touched the threshold, they have already spliced genes casually, but it's right to think about it, your whole world is even a mess of races like this, otherwise it can't be explained from an evolutionary point of view! β
"Could it be caused by the different laws of the world's origin?" I say.
"Of course, it's not different, I feel that it's caused by the lack of solid laws." Leo said.
"Well, that's another subject that needs to be studied." I say.
Leo was a little annoyed: "When the things on land are almost dealt with, we have to open up a research direction of the marine branch, there are really too many topics." β
"You yourself know that there are endless topics," I said, "and you never think that many topics are bad during the Young Warriors. β
"I am a sigh for those who will join us in the future," Leo said. β
I couldn't help but sigh: "This is what the Chinese language says, there is no end to learning!" β
"There is no end to learning from the sea." Leo added.
We're talking about the mermaid's tail, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals have already taken action.
It was the five rangers who carried the water tank at the beginning, they all had anger in their bodies, even in the swamp, it was not very strenuous, these shrimp soldiers and crabs in front of them were very strong, but there seemed to be no similar etheric energy on their bodies, and it was quite difficult on this uphill road,
Fortunately, there is a looming path along the creek, which seems to have not been walked for many years, and it can barely be walked.
I was next to the water tank, strolling along, chatting with the two merfolk from time to time, bit by bit to set out the customs and customs of the mermaid people, while complaining to Leo about the difference between fairy tales and the real world.
The mermaid princess in the fairy tale, or the mermaid kingdom, is incomparably wonderful and leisurely, but what about reality? After all, they are intelligent creatures, the race has to live, to serve the gods, to fight against the enemy, although the mode of life is very different from the land, but the essence is the same, food, clothing, housing, firewood, rice, oil and salt, as well as the spiritual world, there is not much difference.
The priests have their own circles of life and their own visions, the warriors have the duties of the warriors, and the commoners have only various obligations......
There is no beauty of food and clothing, and there is not even a terrifying and evil invasion of foreign enemies - listening to their descriptions, the war with the Kraken is so stalemate, the production that civilians can produce, the hunting and grazing that can hunt and graze, and the battlefield that can go to the battlefield, how similar to the confrontation between orcs and humans and elves.
"To understand a new race, or to understand a new thing, at the beginning, you will feel that it is novel and interesting, but as you understand it deeply, you will compare it with what you already know, and then embed this new knowledge into your original cognitive system to form and strengthen your own cognitive range," I concluded, "In this process, the most important thing is not how broad your cognitive scope is, but whether your most basic cognitive framework is scientific and rigorous, rational and objective." β
"To put it bluntly, the foundation must be laid well, so that the house will not be crooked." Leo said.
"It's a little too big, too." I looked up the hillside.
The part near the foot of the mountain has a fairly lush vegetation, and the higher you go, the less plants there are, and the part near the top of the mountain, which is called the floating island, the more desolate it becomes, and the stones under our feet are gray and white, but the top of the mountain is black or brown, very similar to the texture of the rocks on the grassland coast.
"Floating islands, flying islands and whatever, are standard in the wizarding world," Leo said, "However, it is not clear why those in the heterotopic plane can levitate, and now another one has popped up, and in other words, there are no flying islands on the human side, and airships are rare......"
In many Earths, the wizarding world has flying islands or airships and the like, but our world really doesn't have any, or rather, it's not none, it's just rare.
It takes a lot of energy to build a flying island, and it is also very troublesome to control, just like an aircraft carrier on the earth, there must be a large number of professionals responsible for control, and these talents, at least must be reserve magicians, and no matter how angry the warrior profession is, it is not enough.
This can also be seen how many powerful subordinates were under the command of the original Minotaur the Great!
As for the floating islands of various heterotopes, it is estimated that we will not be able to explore them until we set foot in the void and enter the stage of space exploration.
Maderudin and Priest Bona have been less talkative since they entered the water tank, and they don't know if they have nothing to say or if they are too embarrassed to be so close, but Leo thinks that the man is close to the water and the moon first, and the woman is the one who has the intention of being a concubine......
When he said this, I suddenly remembered the original Atayal......
Thinking about it now, at that time, I was the only one who stupidly thought that I was covering up well, and the people next to me could see what I meant to Atayal, but what about her? Why can't you see it?
Of course, the attitude of the priest of Bona in front of him towards Maderuding is indeed concerned and appreciative, and even, may have the intention of taking advantage of it, but I can be sure that Ataya never thought that I would have a chance, let alone take advantage of me - she has met many suitors, and they have all been defeated at the feet of the young patriarch, and at that time, in her eyes, I must have been just a stupid boy who was infatuated but infatuated, and the reason why she didn't refuse to break it was because she didn't want to hit me directly, at least, for the character characteristics of the Minotaur, It is not difficult to accept to lose directly to a strong person like the young patriarch, and being rejected by a girl will be laughed at by her peers......
However, I'm not sure if there is a "young patriarch" behind Priest Bona who Madrudin is completely invincible.
Thinking of this, I was in a trance.
Obviously, I have read and studied so many books on earth psychology, including love stories in film and television literature, but there is no fixed pattern of love, even if I have become a strong man comparable to or even surpassed by the legendary powerhouse, I am still not sure.
I even wondered, if I saved Atayal, what would I do with her?
Maderudin has experienced such an adventure, and returned to the clan with a large group of fish-man slaves, which should have made a great contribution, otherwise he would not have become a priest, but there will definitely be no fewer people who envy and envy him, and Priest Bona is willing to come here with him, this friendship is even more than the original Atayal, of course, they are facing a powerful alien race like me, so there will be more things to consider, and the affection between the two can only be regarded as a part of it, unlike me, purely because of emotion.
Of course, I also wanted to protect the race, but apart from me, this kind of thing was only known to Leo and Zhao Ritian at that time.
In this comparison, I actually envy Madruding a little - at least, his chances are much better than mine, even if there is a guy similar to the young patriarch, he already has a certain advantage, unless that guy is too powerful and makes a stupid trick such as forcibly forcing marriage, then, maybe I should make a move......
This is probably the side plot embodied in them.
The atmosphere was a little dull, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals didn't even talk much, and the three of us chatted with each other, and with the discussion between Leo and me, it still couldn't be lively.
However, this is not an outing, so there is no need to worry about it.
In contrast, I was more concerned about what was in the labyrinth, and hurried through the mermaid's branch and directly entered the dragon realm.
Of course, maybe the plot of the mermaid won't unfold until the return of the dragon world, so there's no hurry, anyway, I've experienced enough plots and don't care about these minutiae.
Thinking like this, I felt a little more relaxed, and subconsciously touched the Taiyin stone and pendant on my chest.
"Sure enough, you remembered TΓ©a again," said Leo, "and when you see this boy and the priestess, do you think you are better than him?" β
I quietly put away the Taiyin Stone and the Space Pendant, and said: "On the contrary, I feel that I am more stupid than a white-eyed fish, and you can also see that the two of them should know each other's intentions, just a layer of window paper has not been pierced, by the way, is there a clue on the top of the mountain?" β
"It's not a big problem to basically probe around, but well, the few mermaids left behind have moved." Leo grasped the problem and held on.
My heart moved: "They've already reported to the merfolk's temple?" If I'm not mistaken, this Bona priest has a fiancΓ© or something. β
"Not really," Leo replied, to my surprise, "they actually quite expected the two of them to come together." β
