Chapter 3292 Kuyena

When Luigi mentioned "fragrance powder", Angel also remembered the information about the fragrant tribe.

Not long ago, they also mentioned the Xiang Clan.

At that time, Heart Space harvested a batch of items fished out of the Sea of ​​Empty Mirrors.

Among them is a carbonized wood.

In the world of wizards, this kind of ancient dead wood that was forced into low-lying river beds due to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and mudslides is called charred wood; but in the Day Mirror Region, this kind of charred wood is called For "fragrant wood".

It was the Xiangxiang tribe who came up with the name "Fragrant Wood".

The Xiangxiang Tribe is not a very powerful race in the White Sun Mirror Realm, but they rely on their unique "fragrant powder making" technology to firmly rank among the middle and upper-class races in the White Sun Mirror Realm.

The raw material for making fragrant powder is "fragrant wood".

After recalling the information about the Incense Clan, Angel became more curious and concerned about the "alien" beauty on the display stand.

Because in his opinion, the two technologies most related to "alchemy" in the White Mirror Realm are Pilusiu's many inventions, and the other is the special fragrance of the Xiangxiang Clan.

Piluxiu's invention can barely correspond to mechanical alchemy in alchemy.

The fragrance powder of the fragrance-loving family undoubtedly corresponds to the fragrance branch of pharmacy.

Although Angel has never refined fragrance, he still knows a lot about fragrance. Therefore, he is curious about the difference between the fragrance powder made by the Xiangxiang tribe and the fragrance?

Is one branch connected to the other and two leaves blooming? Or is it a new approach and a new battlefield?

…

The "alien" beauty of the Qixiang tribe is named "Kuyena".

The reason why Angel knew her name was because after she came on stage, she introduced herself in a very sweet tone.

However, no matter how elegant his movements and delicate tone of voice are, coupled with the strange-shaped mouthparts that split his head into pieces, and the densely packed sharp teeth like snail teeth in the mouthparts, it makes people unable to pity him.

At least, Angel didn't feel elegant, only terrified.

"Don't look at how scary she is now. In fact, she is already one of the few people in the Xiangxiang tribe who can do anything." It was Luigi who spoke, perhaps seeing the subtlety in Angel's eyes, chimed in beside him.

"Then...I'm a little curious now about what other Xiangqi tribes look like." Angel was very sure that his and Luigi's aesthetics should be the same, and both belong to human aesthetics. If Kuyena is one of the few capable people in the Qixiang clan, how inferior will the other leaders of the Qixiang clan be?

Angel had already begun to wonder, could it be that the mouths of other Xiangxiang tribes could tear their whole bodies apart?

If that were the case, there would be no difference between it and an alien.

However, the answer was completely different from what Angel had imagined. Luigi leaned close to Angel and whispered: "Other Xiangxiang tribe have no human appearance at all. They are either tree-shaped or flower-plant shaped."

As he spoke, Luigi gestured with his hands.

From his gestures, Angel could roughly imagine what a group of "plant life" looked like.

He originally thought that the other Xiangxiang tribes were more frightened, but now it seems that he was mistaken. Luigi said that Kuyena is the only one that the Xiang Clan can take advantage of because she looks the most like a human; the others tend to be in plant form, and are not even "vegetative".

But then again, if it really had a plant-like appearance, maybe Angel would be more accepting of it.

This is probably the uncanny valley effect.

The more human-like it is, the more terrifying it is.

Luigi didn't know what Angel was thinking, and continued: "Actually, it's not just the Xiangxiang tribe. Most of the races on the Wanyou Forest are similar to plants and fungi. But they are not real plants. There are not even any plant-related organs in the body, which is completely different from a foreign race like Yusen..."

"Their plant appearance is just an appearance, meaningless. But the core is still the unique form of polymerized energy of life in the Mirror Realm."

When Luigi said this, the canine steward on the side also interjected: "Actually, I have heard a legend about the Wanyu Forest. It is said that the race on the Wanyou Forest is because of the projection of a mysterious forest in reality. After arriving in the Mirror Realm, the thousands of families and tribes on the Wanyou Forest were born. The reason why they had a plant shape was also influenced by that mysterious forest spirit."

Angel has heard of "forest spirits", which are similar to tree spirits and wood spirits. They are a collection of spirits born from an entire forest, similar to collective consciousness.

However, Angor could not imagine the mysterious level of forest spirit that Dog Butler mentioned. Perhaps it was the aggregation of a large number of mysterious phenomena?

Regarding the legend told by the Dog Butler, Luigi curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Similar rumors are rampant, but there is no evidence at all. Or is it that your Master House has found evidence?"

Butler Dog wagged his tail: "There is no evidence, but..."

Luigi: "But what?"

The canine butler said nothing, his dark eyes staring at Luigi's side.

Luigi looked back and saw Laplace slowly drinking hot tea on the table.

After Laplace put the teacup back on the table, she slowly said, "I told Meatball this legend."

Luigi: "..."

Luigi turned his head, glared at Butler Dog fiercely, and said silently: Since it was Laplace who said it, you should have pointed it out early in the morning!

Dog Butler lazily tilted his head and leaned on the paw pillow, with an innocent look on his face: Does it matter who said it?

Of course it’s important! Luigi grunted, but in the end he did not continue to find fault with the dog butler, but said to Angel: "In short, the other Qixiang tribe are all crooked and cracked, and Kuyena is actually the leader among them. "

After finishing speaking, Luigi whispered: "However, she is really different from other Xiangxiang tribe. It's so rare to see one with human form, it's really strange..."

After Luigi finished speaking, Sipolov, who had been sitting silently in the corner, suddenly slowly raised his hand: "Actually, I know about Kuyena."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Sipolov.

Facing the curious and doubtful eyes, Sipolov was also a little nervous. After a while, he said: "Although I have not had direct contact with Kuyena, I once met her in Peslav, the capital of the Ice Kingdom. Pass her."

"She dined with several admirals, and my grandfather was also there at that time."

"Later I asked my grandfather, and according to what my grandfather said, Kuyena went back to Ice Country to visit relatives..."

At this point, Sipolov stopped and did not continue, but others already understood what he meant.

Ice Country is the country of the Yingji people.

Kuyena will return to the Ice Kingdom to "visit relatives", which means that at least half of Kuyena's blood comes from the Yingji tribe.

With this news as evidence, it becomes very clear why Kuyena looks like a human.

The Yingji people look almost exactly like humans except for the lack of eyes. It is even said that when the Yingji people put on blindfolds and go directly to the wizarding world, no one will think it is strange.

If Kuyena had Yingji blood flowing through her body, it would be normal for her to look like a human.

However, what Angel couldn't figure out was...the looks of the Chuxiang tribe and the Yingji tribe were so different. Which predecessor of the Yingji tribe could fall in love with a plant from the Chuxiang tribe and even have a child?

What kind of hobby is this?

Another point, why are there no reproductive isolation between the Chuxiang and Yingji tribes?

The former question may involve personal hobbies, and Angel was too embarrassed to ask; but the latter question, he actually asked.

Facing Angel's inquiry, Laplace and Luigi were silent. They had no research on reproductive isolation.

The butler dog didn't even speak. As a puppy, it didn't know anything.

Only Sipolov, after hesitating for a few seconds, took the initiative and said: "I also asked my grandfather this question at that time. Grandpa's answer was that the Yingji tribe and the Qixiang tribe are reproductively isolated. The birth of Kuyena It was an accident."

"But what exactly is this 'accident'? Grandpa didn't say too much about it. I guess it may have something to do with biological experiments..." Sipolov: "Iceland has many research institutes for biological modification experiments, and some of them are related to foreign races. Joint research. It seems that there is a biological experimental research institute on the Wanyou Forest."

In other words, Sipolov speculated that Kuyena might have been born through biological experiments through cooperation between the Yingji tribe and the Qixiang tribe.

If this is the case, then the "hobby" issue Angel just speculated on is purely his personal imagination.

but……

"Institute of Biological Experiments, can this kind of secret really be revealed?" Angel asked curiously.

Sipolov looked puzzled: "Why can't you tell me? Admiral Oleg will be on stage later to talk about a new result of our biological experiment."

"...It's nothing, I'm just asking casually." Angel felt that he was asking too much, so he still brought the set of rules from the Southern Territory to the Mirror Territory.

In the Southern Territory, even if biomodification experiments are not taboo, they are rarely discussed in front of others. Especially in front of relatively strangers.

But in the Mirror Realm, biomodification experiments may be just like other research projects, just ordinary research.

"It turns out that she is still related to the Ice Kingdom. No wonder her name is similar to that of the Yingji tribe." Luigi also suddenly realized after learning the news.

Angel was digesting this information while listening to Kuyena's story on the stage.

Kuyena, like other medium and large groups, took out the special fragrance powder of the Xiangxiang group as soon as she came on stage.

The first fragrance powder she introduced was called Dark Fragrance Powder.

At first, Angel thought it was a fragrance powder related to the "dark system", but as she introduced it, she realized that this thing was actually an advanced version of the "Youlu fragrance powder".

Angel once saw Youlu Fragrance Powder in the product catalog of the Ancient Market Branch of Rejin City.

This is a special powder that stabilizes the energy state.

The so-called energy state is the form of energy, and the energy state that Angel comes into contact with the most is the soul.

If you use Youlu Incense Powder on an out-of-body soul, it can solidify the soul and make it look like an entity.

Although this effect is described in a general way, its practicality is extremely high. For example, some souls will be confused after death and will be taken away by the soul tide of the Quest world at any time. However, if you use Youlu Incense Powder, the confused souls can become clear, step into the material boundary, and have a certain A quantitative "entity", in this case, the soul tide cannot take you away.

Of course, this is Angel’s interpretation of Youlu Fragrance Powder from a human perspective and self-understanding.

From the perspective of Mirror Realm, the biggest buyer of Youlu Fragrance Powder is the Town of Resentful Girl.

It allows the mirror ghosts in Resentment Girl Town to maintain their form and increase their waking time.

It can be said that the Youlu Fragrance Powder of the Xiangxiang Clan was invented specifically for the Town of Resentful Girls.

Nowadays, the Xiangxiang Clan has upgraded the Youlu Fragrance Powder to the Dark Fragrance Powder. The general purpose has not changed, but the effect has been upgraded, allowing the Mirror Ghost to stay clear for twice as long.

The Mirror Ghosts in Resentment Girl Town seldom purchase foreign items. Therefore, they are actually big fat sheep. Although many ethnic groups are afraid of Resentment Girl Town, they all want to steal a handful of wool from the Mirror Ghosts in Resentment Girl Town. . The Xiangxiang Clan spent so much effort to upgrade Youlu Fragrance Powder, no doubt because they wanted to earn the crystals from Resentment Girl Town.

The effect is definitely there, as can be seen from Kuyena's increasingly horrifying smile.

However, Angel had no interest in the Dark Fragrance Powder, and he also knew about the existence of the Dark Fragrance Powder. Therefore, when Kuyena loudly promoted the Dark Fragrance Powder, he did not listen at all, but kept it in his mind. In the frenulum, Laplace was chatting about other topics.

"Is the legend that Butler Dog mentioned just now true?"

Angel is still very curious about the mysterious forest spirit.

Laplace: "I don't know either."

Angel: "..."

Laplace: "Although I don't know whether the legend is true or false, I found this legend from the origin of the Wanyou Forest. It was engraved on an ancient stone slab."

Thousands of years ago, when Laplace was just born, she also let her clone travel in the Mirror Realm.

It was at that time that Laplace went to the Wanyu Forest.

The place of origin is a secret ruin of the Wanyou Forest, which seems to be related to the origin of the Wanyou Forest. At that time, Laplace also spent a lot of effort to enter it.

In the Origin Ground, she found the stone tablet recording this legend.

Although there are ruins tablets to prove it, Laplace cannot judge whether this legend is true or false. After all, it’s possible that the slate was a forgery made by someone before.

It is also possible that the predecessors were ignorant and deliberately made things mysterious.

Not to mention the Mirror Realm, there are many such situations in reality. Because the knowledge reserve is insufficient, unknown things are placed in an unattainable background.

For example, "fire", primitive people do not understand fire, so they worship fire.

But now, "fire" is just a very common element symbol. Even ordinary people will not associate more with the character "fire". Because they understand it, they are not afraid of it.

In the same way, the content recorded in the ruins is not necessarily true, and may also be fabricated content due to ignorance.
