Chapter 116: Leaving the Fire Wood and the South Stone Willow (I)
Chapter 116 Leaving the Fire Wood and the South Stone Willow (I)
"Fell, what method did you use to cut the Earth Fire Crystal?" asked Fair as he held the Earth Fire Crystal on the way.
"Huh?"
Merge patted his head, "I forgot, Fell, you can't speak yet." ”
Fell took a bite of the Earth Fire Crystal handed by Merge, and after hearing Merge's question, he tilted his head with puzzled eyes, as if he himself didn't quite know why he was able to cut through the Earth Fire Crystal so easily.
Tugging at Merger's hair, Fell shook his head slowly. In his subconscious, the Earth Fire Crystal was originally the food and dessert of their Fire Demon Clan, and he seemed to be born with the ability to easily cut the Earth Fire Crystal, not relying on any method, just like an instinct, and Phil himself didn't understand what was going on.
Seeing that Fell didn't know why he was able to cut the Earth Fire Crystal easily, Merge frowned slightly, rolled his eyes, and then said: "That's it, Fair, you poke a few holes in the Earth Fire Crystal, but move slowly, let me take a good look." ”
"Babble!"
Fell nodded, and stretched out his finger to slowly poke a hole in the Earth Fire Crystal that Merg had raised.
Merger, who couldn't take his eyes off this scene, frowned, "One more time, one more time Fair." ”
Hearing this, Phil poked a small hole in the earth fire crystal again. Mog imitated Fell, and also poked on the Earth Fire Crystal, but the Earth Fire Crystal did not change at all, and not even a trace appeared.
"One more time, one last ......"
“......”
............
Fer poked the Earth Fire Crystal hundreds of times, but Merge still couldn't understand why the extremely hard Earth Fire Crystal had become so fragile under Fair's fingers.
After observing it hundreds of times, Merge only felt that when Fair's finger touched the Earth Fire Crystal, it was not Fair's finger that broke the Earth Fire Crystal, but the Earth Fire Crystal automatically dodged Fair's finger. Naturally, a small hole the thickness of a finger is formed.
The more he looked at it, the more he didn't understand, and Merge scratched his hair in great distress.
On the side, silently watching Merge commanding Fell, poking hundreds of small holes in the earth fire crystal, and poking the earth fire crystal into a beecomb, Banan finally couldn't help but laugh: "The book says that the alchemist's curiosity is endless. It seems to be true. ”
Hearing that Banan glorified his "desire for money" as "curiosity for knowledge", Merge smiled awkwardly and did not explain anything, and Merge was not embarrassed to explain that the real purpose of his research on Fell's method of cutting earth fire crystals was to make money.
"Merge, you don't need to study why Fell was able to break the Earth Fire Crystal so easily, because you can't easily cut the Earth Fire Crystal like Fell. ”
Banan paused and explained, "Like I said before. The Firedemons are fire spirits, lava kings, and rulers of the fire element. The reason why Phil was able to easily cut through the hard earth fire crystal was because it was the talent of the Fire Demon Clan, and it was the fire elemental's obedience and fear of its king's will. ”
"However, Merge, you are not a fire demon, and the fire elemental structure in the Earth Fire Crystal will not automatically decompose and disperse because of you, so Merge, you can't easily cut the Earth Fire Crystal and destroy the structure of the Earth Fire Crystal like Fer. ”
Listen to Banan's explanation. Merge nodded thoughtfully, and the confusion in his eyes dissipated.
"It's like you can't be like my old tree elves. You can communicate with trees and forests, and get help from trees and gifts from forests. Banan smiled slightly, "This is the talent of the race. ”
Merge nodded, and said with a bitter face, "Understood." ”
Seeing Merger's drooping face and unhappy look, Banan laughed. "You can't complain about talent ......"
Seeing Banan looking up and laughing, Fair, who was sitting on Merge's head for some reason, also laughed. But Fair was smiling as he tugged at Merger's hair. It hurt so much that Merge gritted his teeth.
"Merge, don't worry about talent, you can mobilize the power of the stars, which is enough for many races to envy. After all, manipulating the power of the stars is a talent that only dragons have. ”
"It's here!"
Just as Merge was about to open his mouth to explain, and he didn't know why he was able to mobilize the power of the stars, he saw the breath coming from the low bushes in front of him, which was the breath he had first perceived, and hurriedly spoke.
Banan looked at the bushes in front of him, "This is where you perceived before?"
Merge nodded, "Yes." ”
"We split up and looked for a reddish plant with faint black vertical stripes and a faint smell of sulfur. Murger paused, "This plant is called Off-Fire Wood, and it's a tree that doesn't grow too tall, but gradually thickens as it grows. ”
"Good!"
Seeing Banan nodding, Merge continued to add: "If you see a fire-leaving wood, or a plant similar to a fire-leaving wood, don't break it easily, remember to notify me first." ”
After explaining the details, Merge and Banan split up and searched carefully among the lush low bushes.
Although it can emit a pungent smell of sulfur, it is located in a volcanic area, and even if it is an extinct volcano, the smell of sulfur in the vicinity is very strong, making it difficult to find the wood by smell, relying only on eyes, patience and time.
Half an hour later, the low bushes near the woods had almost turned upside down, and Merge saw no shadow of the firewood. With a deep sigh, Merge sat down on the ground.
Because the amplitude of Murge's movements was too large, it shook his shoulder, and Fell, who was unknown, "babbled".
Merge was about to open his mouth to explain to Fell, when he suddenly heard Banan exclaim.
"Found it!"
"Where?" Merge was overjoyed, quickly stood up, and ran towards Banan's location.
When Merge came to Banan's side, he found that it was already on the edge of the bush. Merge looked down and saw that at Banan's feet, there was a plant with a red body and a faint black vertical stripe on the trunk, which was the firewood that Merge had been looking for.
"I heard the sound of water here, so I thought I would look for it at the water's edge to see if I could find it, but I didn't expect to see a plant that was roughly the same as your description. Banan's eyes were filled with joy, and he continued to ask, "Merge, is this a firewood?"
"Well, this is the firewood. Merge nodded, "You're right, fire is fire, and if you want to grow, you need a lot of water and fire energy to provide nutrients. ”
Merge frowned, and shook his head with a not too good face, "But ......"
"But what?"
"However, this off-fire wood cannot be used to make pipes. Seeing Banan's puzzled eyes, Merge continued to explain: "This tree is only three fingers thick, and you can directly see that the age of this tree is less than 20 years old without using special techniques to identify the age of the tree. ”
"Off-fire wood that is not more than 500 years old is too brittle to be used to make pipes. Moreover, even if the age of the tree is not taken into account, the thickness of this off-fire tree is not suitable for making pipes. (To be continued.) )
