Chapter 2257 What is special about the Mulan people
"Then do you know the direct reason why the Mulan people can't give birth to artisans? They are all human, so is there any essential difference?" Xia Duo asked again.

This is actually a problem he is worried about. The current Mulan people just can't become craftsmen of Imasca's creation magic system. If they can't become mages, then what's the use of buying these people back?
It may even be because of the mixed blood with the Nethers and Langas, those two ethnic groups could not produce mages. If this is the case, then the Mulan people can really be called the common enemy of all magic civilizations!
Regarding this problem, Jam shook his head in confusion, "As early as when the Mulan people appeared, the artisans of the empire discovered this phenomenon and tried to solve it, but more than 1000 years later, this problem still exists. .”

"Isn't there an explanation?"

"Of course there are explanations. Among them, there are two mainstream explanations. One is to attribute this problem to His Majesty Kotan, the master craftsman who first discovered the Mulan people, and believes that he deliberately restricted them to prevent the Mulan people from counterattacking and becoming the mainstream of the empire." The talent of the Mulan people, this kind of argument is very marketable, but the problem is that the upper echelon of the empire is actually very willing to accept the Mulan people, and they don’t want to waste such a huge population.”

"What about another explanation?"

"Another explanation involves the origin of the Muran people. The Muran people are not the native race of the main plane, but the great craftsman His Majesty Kotan found them from a different plane. Perhaps it is a difference in the plane. It makes it impossible for them to give birth to craftsmen belonging to their own plane."

"That's it!"

Xia Duo was thoughtful. Although Jam's second explanation seems reasonable, it is not very tenable, because he has been to a different plane, although it is not suitable for the blue crystal plane. But he has never heard that there are exclusive magic systems in different planes.

Furthermore, it is true that the Mulan people are from a different plane, but the Orientals are also from a different plane!Orientals can learn elven magic or Nether magic, which is enough to explain that it is not the reason for the alien plane.

He felt that there might be a problem with the Mulan people themselves. Maybe the so-called finding from a different plane is not true at all. The fact may be that the Mulan people are artificial humans at all!

In Xia Duo's impression, it seems that only artificial humans and clones have such huge defects that are different from natural humans. Imaska's creation magic seems to be based on matter, which actually includes the root of flesh and blood.

Maybe the Mulan people are really artificial humans!
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the upper echelons of Imaska ​​may not have the original intention to accept the Mulan people as Jam said. The emergence of more rentiers will inevitably reduce the income ratio of vested interests.

People's sense of superiority is often not reflected by absolute values, but by comparison with other people.

It's as if everyone has 100 million, the actual superior experience is the same as everyone only needs one dollar or 0, but if one person is one, although the absolute value is very small compared to 100 million, as long as other people If they are all 0, then he has an absolute sense of superiority.

Although Xia Duo dislikes this way of cognition, it is undeniable that this phenomenon is unavoidable before the material of civilization reaches great abundance.

Looking at the current situation of the Mulan people, even though there are a few wise men in the upper echelons of Imasca who have seen the benefits of accepting the Mulan people, most of the vested interests do not necessarily have such awareness.

It is very difficult for an individual to compete against an entire class, so it is not incomprehensible that the Mulan people are suppressed.

But there is also a problem here, that is, why are there only Mulan people?Shouldn't it be to suppress all latecomers?

Is it because the Mulan people have the largest population?

In Xia Duo's view, population size is hardly a reason for a race to be absolutely excluded. There should be some deep-seated reasons that are difficult for him, an outsider, to understand.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Duo put off his plan to buy a large number of slaves from the Mulan people, at least until he is sure that the Mulan people can apply the Nether magic system, he is not going to buy a large number of them.

……

While chatting, a group of people walked to a shop, and Jam purposely stopped and introduced to Xia Duo: "This is a display shop affiliated to the largest chamber of commerce in Inupuras, and the inside is enough to meet all the needs of customers."

"is it?"

Through the facade, Xia Duo could see the occasional fleeting figures inside. He immediately realized that the inside of the shop might not be as big as the outside appearance, so he nodded in agreement.

As soon as he entered the store, Xia Duo felt a warm atmosphere that was completely different from the outside world. It was more like a shopping mall than a store.

Although there are still Mulan people in the majority, there are also a lot of strangely dressed Imasca people wandering around in front of the stalls.

"Xia Duo, there are a lot of people here!"

"Yes, got it."

Xia Duo looked around, and saw a pole marked with Imaska ​​characters, which should be similar to shopping mall signs or store names on the earth, but it is a pity that he does not understand the Ruschum language here.

However, he could guess some shops just by looking at the products, so he rejected Jam's introduction, chose a direction by himself, and then stopped in front of a shop.

"Jim tax officer, help me to ask what is sold here?"

"Does Master Athos need a more detailed introduction? If you just want to know the products sold here, just ask me."

"Then tell me what those are?" Xia Duo pointed to the box-shaped items on the shelves in the store that obviously had viewing holes, and asked Jam.

"That is a cooking tool unique to Imascar, called [Baking Box], which can make food such as bread and barbecue."

"Is it?"

Xia Duo tried his best to hide the embarrassment on his face, but in private, Niya had already burst into laughter. Just now, the two made a bet. Niya guessed that it might be some kind of experimental equipment used by the craftsman of Imasca, but Xia Duo was It is more like a storage safe, which may be used to store certain items.

In the end, what Nya said was closer.

In fact, Xia Duo thought about things like ovens and microwave ovens, but he paranoidly believed that Imasca, who was still in the classical era, could not make those things.

This is where the embarrassment comes from.

If it's just a bet and lost, it's more than that.

"Are all the ovens here?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Arguably most of them are, but there are also different types of ovens, such as more focused on making bread, or more focused on making meat."

"Are there many people buying this cooking tool?"

"A lot, almost every household here in Inupuras uses it."

"Can Mulan people also use it?"

"Of course you can!"

Jam gave Xia Duo a weird look, "In fact, many of these utensils are designed for the Mulan people. The craftsmen are busy with their affairs, and it is impossible to make food by themselves!"
