Chapter 38: Gems
Finally, it was time for the long-awaited painting session.
Hilda was still painting, and the slate depicted rattan, hay, and other foods, which the women processed into baskets and frames, and the women went out to pick them.
Hilda drew as she asked Lian Yue for confirmation.
Lian Yue's mind was not here, her eyes were full of all kinds of stones that Meimi had just picked up from the house.
It was the stone pigment used by Hilda to paint before, and Lian Yue was only curious at the beginning, and there was no meaning to delve into it.
But now it's different, Lian Yue looked at the stones of different colors, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to rush up to Timemi to take these stones.
"Memi!" Lian Yue's voice was a little sharp, with a little irrepressible excitement, she shouted, "Where did these stones come from, have you always used this to paint records?" ”
Hilda's whole body and mind were absorbed in the stone slab, and she did not pay attention to Lianyue's questioning.
"Hmm!" Memi walked over and replied, "The priests of the past have used this kind of stone to paint, and they can guarantee that the things recorded will not fade after thousands of years, and we know the legend of the beast god thousands of years ago through the records of the stone tablets. “
The legend of the beast god and the historical record of the orcs mentioned by Meimi are not within the scope of Lian Yue's concern, and she only firmly remembers the key words such as "after thousands of years without fading", which seems to be very similar to the mineral pigments mentioned on the Internet, and Lian Yue began to believe that such a stone should be a gem.
"Are there a lot of these stones?"
As soon as the words fell, before Mei Mi could answer anything, Lian Yue's mind suddenly flashed to the foot of the stone mountain opposite the river valley before, there seemed to be a lot of colored stones, could it be these?
Without waiting for Lian Yue to continue to guess, after a while, Meimi opened her mouth and explained: "You said these colored stones? For example, the blue stones were picked up from the mountain in front of the forest, and I went to see them with my teacher, and there are many more in them. ”
Bluestone ???
"And what about these?" Lian Yue pointed to the other colored stones in her hand.
"These? This yellowstone, this is redstone, this is greenstone......" Memy was happy to answer her questions, pointing to the stone at hand and said, "There is no redstone like this in the middle of the Black Forest, only near the coast. ”
Consecutive months: ...... Is the name so perfunctory?
He leaned over to Memmy, stood on tiptoe, and signaled that he wanted a stone to look at.
took a palm-sized blue stone handed to her by Meimi, Lian Yue looked at it carefully, the stone was blue-purple as a whole, the surface was pitted, with some gray-green and white dots on it, pinched, emmm, anyway, it was the hardness of the hand that could not be broken.
Then he looked at the other colors of the stone, and found that the characteristics of each color were different, and the redstone was obviously more brittle, and some of the debris could be pulled off with a light break. Greenstone and Yellowstone are different, especially Yellowstone has a smooth surface and looks like a pebble, but I don't know how hard it is.
The left and right hands were reversed, and Lian Yue carefully observed the stone in his hand, desperately trying to understand the stone in his hand.
But she suddenly found that she seemed to be excited in vain, because she didn't know these stones at all, and there was no good way to tell whether these colored stones were gems or not, and how valuable were they?
This feeling is like a person entering a treasure pavilion full of martial arts cheats, and immediately being able to practice peerless martial arts to reach the pinnacle of life, only to find that she is illiterate! Guarding Baoshan but not knowing the treasure is such a tyrannical thing!
However, she can also take them all to Blue Star for testing, and see what kind of stones they are, what if they are worth a lot? Just thinking like this, Lian Yue felt a little better in her heart.
"Can't you use those stones at the foot of the mountain on the other side?"
"Ah, you said those fluorescent stones at the foot of the mountain, those stones are too hard, and there is no way to break them easily." Memy chuckled softly and explained instead.
"Still, women like to pick a few pieces to make necklaces."
As soon as Meimi said this, Lian Yue's eyes instantly brightened, and her whole face softened.
......
Over there, Mei Mi squatted at the door of the hut, holding a big stone and smashing it on a piece of "gem", with a "bang", debris splashed everywhere, seeing this scene, Lian Yue's eyebrows couldn't help but tighten.
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Lian Yue walked over, took the stone in Meimi's hand, and said, "I'll help you!" ”
After weighing the big stone in his hand, it was a little heavy, and Lian Yue threw it aside, found a smaller pebble, and tried the feel, the weight was just right.
"Bang! Boom! Bang..."The pebble hit an orange colored stone, very easily, the stone was smashed into several large pieces, unlike Meimi just now, although the colored stone was broken into several pieces, the debris that burst out did not fly far away, only gently fell on Lian Yue's hand.
Apparently, Lianyue used her ability to gather all the debris of the colored stone within her reach.
Seeing this, Mei Mi only felt that although the stone used by Lian Yue was small, it was far better than her own effect, and her face couldn't help but bloom, but she didn't notice these small details.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
......
This time, there are not many colors needed, and they can be roughly divided into four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue.
Lianyue is very efficient, and quickly smashes stones of various colors into small pieces. The fragments of different colors are put into a small stone bowl in turn, and the fragments are finely ground into a powder with particles with long pebbles.
Plum Rice gathered the powdered particles with thick leaves, placed them in the hollows of the stone reserved on the side, and when they were all ground up, they found some plant juice and water to mix, and the paint was ready for Hilda.
Just when Lian Yue thought that this was the end, he heard Hilda, who was concentrating on the portrayal, say, "Meimi, you go to Nana and get a deer antler." ”
Antlers??? Antlers can also be used for painting???
Soon, Meimi, who went and returned, answered Lian Yue's doubts.
I saw that she was holding a deer antler with a silver light in her hand, which looked very familiar. Lian Yue carefully searched for her few experiences in the orc plane, and quickly identified this horn as belonging to the silverhorn deer she had hunted two days earlier.
The coral-like head horns, even if they are separated from the body of the silverhorn deer, still exude a silver metallic luster, and it looks very beautiful.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! Following the example of Lianyue, Memi picked up the pebbles and began to smash the antlers, with the sound of falling and debris scattered, but the result was not as she imagined.
Meimi's mouth was deflated, and she looked at Lian Yue with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand why she did what Lian Yue did just now, but the result was still littered with debris.
Lian Yue held her forehead with a little weakness, took the pebble in Meimi's hand, and said, "I'll come." ”
Meimi stood up and gave Lian Yue a seat.
Holding down the antlers with one hand, she was about to smash them down, but she was surprised to find that the touch of the antlers was completely different from what she imagined.
It was cold to the touch, with a metallic texture, the space blade swept away the antlers, and there was no bone as imagined, and the cross-section of the antlers was also silvery-white, which was very smooth.
Wu, Lian Yue raised her hand and glanced at the silver bracelet on her hand, then glanced at the antlers, glanced back and forth a few times, and frowned even tighter.
"This can also be used for coloring?"
"Of course!" Memi replied as a matter of course.
On one side, after the silver powder was blended, Lianyue saw Hilda start coloring with her special brush.
Even if it wasn't the first time I saw it, looking at the colorful and lifelike picture in front of her, Lian Yue still felt that if Hilda was born in modern times, she might be an outstanding artist.
With a light stroke of the pen, a vivid picture of picking and weaving rattan was born, with a picture of women sitting around weaving, and a picture of women carrying baskets and picking together.
Most importantly, of course, there is a woman in a long dress with a feather on her back teaching weaving techniques.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Lian Yue didn't know what to say, why did he not pay attention to it, and he was on the "history books" again.
