Chapter 112: Unenclosed Houses
The place to which Vral is referring appears to be a shop selling leather goods. www.biquge.info The shop is made up of six scaly trees entangled together to form a roof, the trunks of the six trees are like the load-bearing pillars of ordinary houses to support the weight of the roof, there are no walls on the four sides of the store, and instead of the fence function, there is a circle of shrubs more than one person high, the dense shrubs are closely connected together in a circle, blocking the view of outsiders, and they cannot directly see the situation inside, only the position as a door is vacant, so that people can enter and exit freely, so that they do not need to squeeze in from the bushes, and there are only waist-high shrubs that play the role of windows like human housesOf course, even without these gaps like windows, the inside of the store is already bright during the day, because there is still a gap of at least one to two meters between the shrub wall of the store and the top of the tree composed of scale trees, as long as it is in the daytime, the sunlight cannot not shine in.
"Your shop...... Uh...... "As the deer approached the center of the city, the speed of the deer decreased again, from running to strolling, so Catherine had enough time to hesitate for a while, only to find that she could not find the right adjective, and could only reluctantly say: "Very well, very distinctive, this kind of room that is not closed on all sides, is it not uncomfortable to live?"
"This is supposed to be a store. Vral said helplessly: "It's not a place to live in people, and even if it is to live in people, it's no problem, you have the opportunity to sit in it, you will know, it feels very comfortable." β
"But it's windy on all sides. Lina couldn't help but point to the leather shop and said, "And in case of heavy rain, the rain will be blown by the wind, and not everyone will enter the house from the side, and the people and goods inside will be flooded." β
"Yes, that's right. Vral looked unchanged, nodded and said, "But let me ask you, have you felt the wind since landing?"
"En?" Lina was stunned, looked around, and looked at each other with the other girls, several of them nodded hesitantly, Lina could only frown, and said puzzledly: "Indeed, it seems that since landing, I haven't felt the wind anymore." β
"Because there is very little wind in the Lost Forest, or almost no at all. As the deer had slowly walked to the leather shop, Pannis leaned over to Lina and whispered, "The other forests have wind, but the Forest of Death does not, because the trees here are too dense for the wind to blow into." Besides, even if it blows in, it's useless, do you think that the circle of god-given trees on the outskirts of the city is just used as a fence?"
"Can it also be protected from the wind?" Catherine immediately reacted to what Pennis meant, and asked in surprise: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it can not only protect against the wind, but maybe it can also prevent the rain and the invasion of Warcraft?"
"It can't be completely protected from rain, it can only be reduced. Pannis said: "It can't completely defend against the invasion of Warcraft, but it has a dispelling effect on Warcraft, and if it is a large Warcraft riot or beast tide, it will still be affected." However, the greatest benefit of the God-given tree is that it is not only protected from wind, but also from fire and lightning. The need for fire prevention is not large, the environment of the dead forest is too humid, the water attribute elements are too abundant, and the flame is difficult to spread in a large area here, but lightning protection is very important, it often rains in the forest, and the rainfall is characterized by a relatively short time but the rain is extremely strong, accompanied by a large number of thunder and lightning, for these elves who live in the trees, no one wants to fall asleep at night, suddenly struck by a thunderbolt, although the stronger ones will not be directly hacked to death, but it is always a very uncomfortable thing to be struck by lightning. β
"What, are you interested in going in and having a look?" As if seeing the curiosity in the hearts of the girls, Vral took the initiative to say: "If you want to go in, I'll take you in to have a look, don't worry, you don't need to buy anything when you go in, you don't need to spend gold coins." β
"Hey, what do you mean. Catherine rolled her eyes, shook her head dissatisfiedly and said, "Don't go in, now it's as if I agreed to go in because I saved money, anyway, don't you have to prepare for a day tomorrow, and then there will be time." β
"Oh, as you wish. Vral snickered as he walked past the window of the leather goods shop with the herd of deer, and through the shrub window, he could see the inside of the shop. The interior of the shop is not very spacious, and most of the furnishings are made of wood, so if you look closely, you will see that it is a paradise for handicrafts. There are seven or eight display tables in the store, each of which is completely different in size, shape, shape and style, and it can be seen that it is not a uniform production of furniture, but has absolute individuality. Each display table is made exquisitely and beautifully, the exposed plane is engraved with fine patterns, the corners have been specially processed, carved into the shape of various birds and beasts, it can be said that the time spent on each display table in the store and the value it has are much higher than the goods sold, if a foreign customer enters the store, the first thing he notices is not the goods, but these display tables that can be called works of art.
In addition to the display table, there are other things in the store that attract the attention of customers, in the corner of the room, on the counter where the shopkeeper is located, on the shelves suspended from the branches of the roof, there are wood carvings of different sizes everywhere, the largest is a statue of the goddess of the forest, which is placed in the middle of the store, the smallest is not clear what the shape is, only the length of the index finger, placed in the cabinet behind the shopkeeper, according to Vrard, these wood carvings are just carved by the shopkeeper idlely, not for sale, but if you look at it but the customer feels pleasing to the eye, it is used as a gift to buy leather goods, but most of the customers are hopelessγ
There are so many things that distract the attention of the customers, it is obvious that it will have the opposite effect on the business, so the business of the store is not good, and in the five or six minutes that the queue passed, the girls did not see a single customer enter the store, but through the shrub window, it can be seen that the elf shopkeeper who runs the store did not show any urgency, but sat lazily behind the counter, humming a simple but melodious tune in his mouth, and lowered his head to carve the wood in his hand.
Hearing the hoofs of the deer, the shopkeeper glanced up at the window, and the maidens were sure that he saw the men outside, but as if they had seen nothing, they looked down again and turned their attention back to the carving in their hands. However, before bowing his head, the elf nodded imperceptibly to the crowd outside the window, which was regarded as a greeting. (To be continued.) )
