Chapter 111: Elven Shop
Herds of bigfoot deer jumped and ran through the trees, their light figures like the wind blowing in the woods, leaving only a string of hooves echoing behind them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The biggest feature of info elf city is that in addition to the main road, the rest of the areas with buildings, the ground is uneven, after all, this is a city with trees as a building, and the exposed tree roots and the soil raised by the roots make it impossible for the ground to be too flat, I'm afraid that except for flexible animals such as bigfoot, the horses and goats commonly used by other intelligent creatures cannot be used normally here.
Riding on the back of a deer, the girls were surprised to find that the feeling was much better than expected, in the orc grassland the girls rode the silver wolf, when the silver wolf run, because of the physiological structure, their spine is constantly rising and falling violently, if an ordinary person sits on the wolf's back, the feeling of bumps can make him appear strong dizziness, and only the physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary people can bear the occupation. But these deer do not, no matter how they jump, no matter what posture they run, their backs are always level, and they rarely stir, so that the passengers on their backs can not feel strong discomfort, as long as they can adapt to their speed, then any intelligent creature can easily ride.
After changing the way of travel, the speed of the team increased significantly, and for more than ten minutes, everyone had been circling around the gate of the Elven Royal Court, and they saw the same scene, but now only a few minutes later, the things that the girls saw were obviously different.
On the outskirts of the city, at the gates of the city, which we have been going around for a long time, are divided into living quarters, where almost all the trees are Arin trees, which are used for construction, and the elves nickname them house trees or hometown trees, the leaves of which are dark green, and the dark green is close to the color of the night, so that the whole area is dominated by dark colors. However, the dark green canopy is surrounded by a large number of emerald green vines, so that this sky composed of canopies does not look monotonous and oppressive.
"Hey, what's that?" The girls stumbled upon some wooden signs on the bottom of a few Arin trees, because the speed was too fast, the wooden signs flashed by, and it was difficult to see what was written on them, but the existence of the wooden signs made it impossible to ignore. Because the wooden card is so beautiful, from the appearance point of view, each wooden card has its own characteristics, their shape is by no means a stereotypical square, but mostly natural objects, animals, plants, rocks, stars, all kinds of shapes can be seen, and their bodies are engraved with a large number of beautiful patterns, the front also outlines gorgeous colors, not so much a wooden card, but more like a work of art. Seeing three or four similar wooden signs intermittently, Lina couldn't suppress her curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "Do those signs have any special significance?" I don't think all houses have such signs. ”
"Of course it has a special significance. Pannis, who was beside him, looked at the priest girl with a very strange look: "Those houses are shops, and the signs are the signs of the shops, and the patterns and words on them are the types and types of shops, aren't all cities like this?"
"Shops?" Lina was even more surprised, covering her mouth and exclaiming, "There are also shops in the elven city?"
"Ahem, ahem. A series of coughing sounds rang out from the mouths of the surrounding elves, and although the priest maiden belonged to the ranks of the guests, and the guards and accompanying officials could not scold her for the sake of courtesy, they could still express their disdain through their eyes. Catherine laughed and controlled Bigfoot to slow down a little and move forward side by side with Lina, reaching out and slapping her bald head a few times: "What are you talking about, of course there are shops in the city, and it's not a wilderness, is it worth being so strange? ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. Lina was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I've never seen it in a book, and you have always given me the impression of being elegant as living in another world, so I didn't think that you would do something like running a store, hahaha, so I don't think you are a barbarian, don't care." ”
"We are creatures too, and we have to live. "We also need salt when we cook, we need quilts and pillows when we sleep, we also need clothes and weapons when we go out, and when we lack these things, our first reaction is to go to the store and buy them, not to find a way to do them ourselves, so the store is still necessary," said Vral softly. So, not only do we have shops here, but we also have a lot of commercial activities, and if you look at the roadside, you can see that the closer you are to the center of the royal court, the more shops there are, and the more variety. ”
"Yes, that's true. Catherine nodded, "It's getting more and more." ”
The elves' shops are also opened in the treehouse, but unlike the treehouses used for ordinary residences, the treehouses used as shops, the entrance, that is, the tree hole, is often opened at the bottom, and anyone can enter the house from the ground, and some stores even have a counter-like hole directly at the bottom, and customers can stand directly outside the treehouse and trade with the operators inside. Take a closer look at the signboards of these closed shops, the scope of business is no different from the human world, because they are opened in the living area, these shops are basically dealing in some necessities of life, in order to meet the daily needs of the elves.
However, the further you go to the city center, the denser the shops become, and the surrounding scenery gradually changes. The change is of course reflected in the trees, the density of the trees is gradually decreasing, the sky is no longer covered by the canopy, and you can see a large starry sky when you look up, and the types of trees are also quietly changing, and the Yalin trees are becoming fewer and fewer, and they are replaced by another very strange tree.
"It's a scaly tree. Fral pointed to them and said, "Another kind of tree that we use as buildings." ”
The scaly trees are not stout, and the strongest scale-leaved trees have trunks that are only about the thickness of an adult male's waist, and their height is not high, basically only five or six meters tall. Their most distinctive feature is that they are wide, with a flattened and wide canopy that looks like an umbrella, and when several scaly trees grow together in dense numbers, their canopies join together to form a natural roof. And their biggest feature is their canopy and leaves, their leaves are like fish scales, layer by layer, from the center to the edge, the coverage is extremely fine, even in the case of heavy rain, the rain will not penetrate into the space covered by the canopy, only slide from the surroundings, therefore, they are the most suitable trees for roofing.
Following the direction of Vral's finger, the maidens saw not only the Scaly Tree, but also the inhabitants of the Elven Court. (To be continued.) )
