275. Would it make me very rude to eat so full while eating?
Repeating the same trick, Xingke and his party, who had lived in someone else's house, were arranged to live in a tree.
It doesn't mean that you get knocked into a tree after you offend others, but that you actually live in the trunk of a big tree.
On the towering old trees, which are about the same size as a commercial building, there are connecting bridges made by elves using wood and vines, connecting each big tree together to form a very natural three-dimensional urban transportation.
.
Then, the place where the elves live is the cave dug out of the outer trunk of the ancient tree.
Maybe it's rude to call it a cave? After all, this kind of artistic cabin is much more beautiful than a cave.
Mashiro seemed to like this place very much, and left the stars behind to explore after he had arrived.
And this is not a tree hole hollowed out by insects, but a house carved bit by bit on the solid wood trunk. Even the walls will have vague patterns.
"These are all done with the unique magical ability of our family. We can shape our living space as we wish without causing harm to the life system of the big tree. And as the tree grows older, our houses will become more beautiful.
Sturdy.
Moreover, this tree itself has the effect of repelling insects, so you never have to worry about parasites in the house.”
As the Cree leader explained, Xingke smelled the smell on the wall. Sure enough, there was a smell similar to mint, and the source was a layer of dried resin on the wall.
In this regard, Xingke just wants to say——
"Please come to another world to do real estate business. You will make a lot of money."
"Please stop joking. We elves will only be together in the forest. The human world is not suitable for our long-term existence."
"I asked you to plant trees...but forget it, can I learn your magic?"
"...Although I have never seen a human being who has learned the magic gifted by elves, we don't mind if you insist."
"Ah, it's really not necessary to be so afraid of me. That kind of thing is just to get you to agree to our stay. I really don't have any ill intentions towards your Lindu."
Although Xing Ke wanted to explain, looking at the expression on Mr. Patriarch's face, Xing Ke knew that it wouldn't be of much use.
"Well, you have also seen my magic strength. I can guarantee that I have learned many useful and useless magics. During my stay, if you have no trouble, you can come to me. Three pieces
Things, within three things, whether it is to destroy the human race in this world or to build a permanent magic barrier for this forest that even the gods cannot break, I will agree to it.
How about it? Is it a good deal?"
After that, Mr. Patriarch and Miss Faltania, who had been glaring at Xingke behind him, did not stay here anymore. They just left a message saying that they would bring food later, and then left.
Of course, the elf hunters lurking around this room are still conscientiously monitoring the movements of the stars from a distance.
And on another tree not far away is the patriarch's home, which is quite convenient to disturb.
………………
"Gith! Why did you come to the elves' territory? Do you understand that they are all demons? The kind of demons that open children's heads and suck their brains! Aren't you afraid that they will assassinate you while you are asleep?"
Without a big nerve like Mashiro, Louise has been very vigilant in hiding behind the star from the moment she saw the elf's iconic long ears.
Now I dare to run out.
"...Are you a child? Do you believe this kind of bedtime ghost story? In your world, it is only rumored because of the war with the elves.
The elves in this world are so good, how can they be so vicious?"
Indeed, in Louise's world, there are also elves with long ears, and their [First Living Magic] is also very interesting to hear. However, because they live in the extremely hot desert area uncharacteristically, there is no such thing as Xingke.
Went to find them.
"But……"
"And the elves in your world are all desert elves who have lost the protection of the forest. In their legends, you successors of nothingness are the real demons. Do you dare to believe it?"
Speaking to this extent, even if Louise doesn't understand the meaning of public opinion and the war of public opinion, at least she shouldn't believe in the nonsense that "elves are brain-eating demons" in her heart, right?
"...Hmph - be careful when you sleep! Don't tell us to remind you!"
Turning around to choose a bedroom, Louise no longer wanted to pay attention to Xing Ke, she made a face and closed the door directly.
"Hmph, the little girl's temperament is not allowed to be exposed?"
There is no Santa Claus in this world, the police will not arrest disobedient bad children, and Thunder God will not steal belly buttons. Drinking milk will not make your breasts bigger, and hard work may not lead to results, let alone when you grow up.
Become relaxed...
Aren't these all very obvious scams?
No one believes the truth, but clever lies are welcomed by everyone.
Regardless of the world, this rule will not change.
………………
"What are you looking at?"
Walking up behind Mashiro, Xingke spoke in confusion.
Because he saw Mashiro studying a certain piece of furniture in the room very seriously, Hoshiki unconsciously became curious.
"Someone, what is this?"
Following Mashiro's line of sight, Hoshiki also observed. It was a small platform, but it was not very flat. There was a small depression in the middle.
There is very weak magic energy that can be sensed inside the depression. According to the observation of the star, there are still unclear scorch marks, but...it doesn't look like burning by an open flame.
"This should be a stove, right? The kind used for cooking."
"No flames visible."
"This should be the magic stove."
Touching the slight scorch marks, although there are residual magic elements, it does not seem to come from active magic in the human body.
"Maybe... there is such a thing as [magic stone] in this world, right? It can generate heat, and it can be used for heating. There is no smoke, no open flame, and the house in this kind of tree hole still has very good applicability.
.
You see, although there are no kitchen utensils around, there are sinks and sewers for washing dishes and chopsticks. The decoration style is completely different, but the general function is still the same."
The sewer should be directly connected to the roots of the trees and allowed to be absorbed by the trees, right? This kind of recycling is really environmentally friendly.
Moreover, the style of these furnishings is indeed a step closer to aesthetics than practicality. No wonder Mashiro is fascinated by them.
"You are right. The owner of this room has not been used since he left a hundred years ago and died in a shipwreck ten years ago. Therefore, there was no time to prepare the kitchen utensils."
Faltania's voice came from the door, still looking unhappy, but his attitude was much better than at the beginning.
"I will make it for you tomorrow if you need it."
"Hey, little girl, why are you here?"
"I'm not young anymore!~ I will be an adult in two hundred years!"
As if she didn't want to be looked down upon, Faltania retorted sharply.
"...It is true that two hundred years have passed quickly, but think about it, people who are older than you will still be older than you in two hundred years. In front of her, you will always be a child."
"..."
Her cheeks quickly turned red, but when she saw that the reason she had always been refuted by someone, she seemed to be unable to find a reason to refute it for a while.
"Oh, by the way, you haven't told me what you came here for."
"...Uncle asked me to come over and invite you to dine together. No matter what means are used, the guests are still guests.
That’s it, I’ve conveyed it, goodbye.”
After quickly explaining her purpose, Faltania turned around and left. She didn't want to stay with this difficult human being for one more second now.
"Mashiro, did I offend her?"
"I don't know. But I want to know how to use this beautiful stove."
