Chapter 457 Inheritance of Beauty and Memes (23)

"You said why Shuangdie called your father, instead of 'senior'?"

Regarding this question, Hua An, who was packing up 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 seniors, except for everything In addition to elves who are older than me, in fact, in formal occasions, it also refers to the elf who 'shape for herself' and leads her growth."

"In human culture, these are probably parents. However, the birth of our elves does not require the help of other elves, so we have to correspond, but it is actually impossible to correspond... I can only say that for hundreds of years, there have been no parents. A few humans who can shape goblins, 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 sky-wrapping 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 spinning behind her proved that she was in a very happy mood.

According to tradition, the newborn fairy girl 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 guides oneself 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 It is a technique similar to the "Ether Transformation Inscription" used by the Spiritual Equipment Church and himself on the Chongyuan Iron Sword.

It is this technique that goblins rely on to carry their possessions 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?" ?”

"Imperial 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, and 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, goblins are a very tough species. Ian also observed before leaving the South China Sea, and found that the group of ice goblins had now turned into hot water goblins, and they lived happily.

Frost Butterfly might be the only remaining ice elf in that goblin 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, she 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...senior and junior..."

Looking at the two goblins flying in front of him, Ian vaguely understood that this is actually a kind of inheritance and a unique culture of goblins.

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.Fairy inheritance focuses on the soul, and their bodies only have their unique source material structure and inscription design. Most of the practitioners of fairy inheritance only have "power similar to fairies", 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 real elf at first, because Ian's way of thinking is completely different from most humans who choose the blood of elves—his thinking is quite special, just like a real elf , and also has spiritual power.

Now, the young man vaguely understood.

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 things that humans care about, because what they really need to pass on is actually 'memes' rather than 'genes'.

The latter is what is necessary for human reproduction, the production of offspring, and 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, for example, Hua An, the kind of 'beautiful and delicate' Mixing, the 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 goblins hope that someone will be curious about this kind of question, and that someone will be interested in their 'choices' and 'thoughts'.

The goblin hopes that someone will remember him, whether it is to remember 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 human beings for the continuation of their own blood.

In the final analysis, this is because people who do not pay attention to blood may also have children, and goblins who do not pay attention to ideas and memes will only return their memories to the goblin town, and it will be difficult to surface in the world.

This is the Leprechaun, a bearer of beauty and memes.

Back in Huangtengluo Town, Ian took out the camel beast from the hotel, took all his luggage, and set off with Hua An.

All the way north.
