Chapter 457: Beauty and the Legacy of Memes (2/3)
Chapter 457 Inheritance of Beauty and Memes (23)
"Why do you think Shuangdie called your father instead of 'senior'?"
Regarding this question, Hua An, who was packing her tent to salute, blinked, and she turned the small parasol in her hand with some distress—it looked like a big mushroom: "I don't know...but the seniors pointed out that everyone younger than the age In addition to my big goblin, in fact, in formal occasions, it also refers to the goblin who 'shape myself' and leads her to grow."
"In human culture, these are probably parents. However, the birth of our goblins does not require the help of other goblins, so we have to correspond, but in fact we can't do it... It can only be said that for hundreds of years, there have not been many parents. A human being who can shape a goblin, and you are an exception."
This is not surprising. Even those who have cultivated to the third energy level of the goblin bloodline, or even completely converted into goblins, may not be able to fully integrate into the goblin culture. At most, they will pass on the source material structure of goblins to their children and create a goblin family.
In this way, this is the relationship between parents and children, and of course it is not the senior and the younger in the popular sense.
"Is that so, then I probably understand."
Ian nodded slightly. He was not distressed. Whether Shuangdie called him father or senior, they were all called the same name. He was surprised for a moment at most, but he would not feel inconvenient.
He looked at the ice butterfly sitting on the air-wrapped armor. The newborn fairy girl was looking around the surrounding woods with a pair of clear golden eyes, as if re-acquainted with this familiar yet strange world.
Although her face was expressionless, the strange icy wings behind her were spinning, which proved that she was in a very happy mood.
The newborn fairy girl, according to tradition, was named Frost Butterfly Ian Huaan. Or Huaan Ian. Anyway, according to the word order of goblin culture, this is not important, what is important is the inheritance relationship between "self" and "the person who guided me to the world".
"Come on, let's go!"
At this moment, Hua An also packed all her luggage—it was a compressed box a little bigger than herself, and Ian keenly sensed that Hua An’s box also used some kind of unique inscription technology...probably related to The Spiritual Tool Church and the "Ether Transformation Inscription" similar technology used on the Chongyuan Iron Sword.
Goblins rely on this technique to carry their belongings and travel across the continent.
A huge iron box shaped like a royal seat is suspended under the elegant Miss Fairy, and she sits on it, comfortably pushing her luggage chair forward: "Where is your destination next?" ?”
"Emperor Capital."
Ian replied, he looked at the seat under Hua An, quite curious about the technology inside: "Miss Hua An, are you going to walk with us?"
"of course!"
Hua An took it for granted: "Shuangdie is my junior! It hasn't been long since I got the Shaper qualification certificate, she is my first junior!"
"I will definitely accompany her until Shuangdie completely becomes a qualified fairy!"
—What about the mission? What about the quest to go to the South China Sea Maze in Port Harrison?
Ian glanced at Shuangdie who was happily shaking his head on his shoulder, and decided not to ask this question.
To be honest, the task is really not important. He could tell the other party his identity as the master of the maze, and then put a mark on Hua An, so that she can freely pass through the big maze, and go to the ruins of the ice abyss, which is the original cooling room, to see the situation of the original goblin community.
Although the situation has changed drastically, elves are a very tough species. Ian also observed before leaving the South China Sea, and found that the group of ice elves have now turned into hot water elves, and they are living happily.
Frost Butterfly might be the only remaining ice elf in that elf gathering place.
"Since you are going to the imperial capital, you must go to Butte Station. Let me show you the way."
While Ian was thinking, Hua An also made plans for the next itinerary. She patted the luggage under her body, turned the seat-shaped box, and while flying backwards, smiled and waved the umbrella to Frost Butterfly Greetings: "Come here, Shuangdie, I will teach you a little trick!"
Shuangdie glanced at Ian, and after seeing the boy nodding, he also smiled and flew over with a cool breeze.
"Ah, look carefully now, you are really pretty..."
Hua An looked at Shuangdie's face, and then cheered: "Very good, it proves that my understanding of beauty has been passed down!"
"Shaping... Appearance... Seniors and juniors..."
Looking at the two fairies flying in front of him, Ian vaguely understood that this is actually a kind of inheritance and a unique culture of fairies.
Goblins don't have 'bloodlines' in the usual sense. In their own bodies, and all the so-called people who hold 'fairy bloodlines', they essentially turn their own bodies into 'fairy shells' controlled by real goblins. Energy level, soul sublimation, and after condensing the heart light body, the sublimated person of the goblin blood can truly appreciate the essence of this inheritance.
But how few sublimates of the third energy level? There are even fewer people who practice the blood of goblins. The goblin inheritance focuses on the soul, and their bodies only have their unique source material structure and inscription design. Most of the practitioners of the goblin inheritance only have "powers similar to goblins", but they have never been able to understand the spirit and core of goblin essence.
Therefore, Hua An didn't feel that Ian was not a true elf at first, because Ian's way of thinking was completely different from most humans who chose the blood of elves—his thinking was quite special, just like a real elf. And also has spiritual power.
Now, the young man vaguely understands.
The birth and inheritance, reincarnation and shaping of goblins are completely different from the birth of flesh and blood. Their existence itself is a life form that is completely different from human beings who reproduce with both sexes.
In other words, goblins are indifferent to the things humans care about, because what they really need to pass on is actually 'memes' rather than 'genes'.
The latter is a necessary thing for human reproduction and the creation of offspring, and it is also the reason itself.
But goblins pay more attention to things that other people think are illusory, such as 'name', such as 'appearance'... The first impression a goblin can give people is, for example, Hua An, the mixture of 'beauty and exquisiteness' , that kind of concept of 'freedom and happiness', this kind of vague but real impression, is what they really want.
—Why such a name? Why do you have such a face? Why choose such a posture to appear in this world? Why do you have such persistence and ideals?
The goblin hopes that someone will be curious about this kind of question, and that someone will be interested in their 'choice' and 'thoughts'.
The goblin hopes that someone will remember him, whether it is his appearance or his thoughts. Therefore, most of the fairies are so beautiful that they are unforgettable, and their actions and thinking are unique.
Inheriting these things is the most important thing for goblins, even more important than humans for the continuation of their own blood.
In the final analysis, this is because people who don’t pay attention to blood may also have children, and fairies who don’t pay attention to ideas and memes will only return their memories to the fairyland, and it will be difficult to surface in the world.
This is the goblin, a bearer of beauty and memes.
Back to Huangtengluo Town, Ian brought out the camel beast from the hotel, took all his luggage, and then set off with Hua An.
All the way north.
