Божественный зверь Creator
Chapter 2105: Chapter 2106: Strolling Through the Marketplace
"I think there’s no need to rush, the clothes here seem quite interesting~"
Veronia put away her umbrella, which never left her hand in human form, and looked at Фэн Юань with a suggestion. If it were clothing solely related to death and similar cultures, she wouldn’t be very interested. However, thanks to the efforts in Kui Shan Town, these garments now carry a lot of peculiar meanings. Ignoring those meanings, the clothes are quite unique, which naturally tempted her a bit.
Фэн Юань did not object to this. Although he came here to see if there was any information related to Kui Shan Town, today’s main purpose was still to have fun and enjoy the festive atmosphere; investigation could be done later.
Therefore, Фэн Юань didn’t think Veronia’s suggestion was unreasonable, and even found it quite sensible.
With one hand gently pressing down on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s ears, Фэн Юань chuckled and said,
"Exactly, let’s browse around first~ Those documents won’t grow legs and run away~"
After saying that, Фэн Юань directly dragged Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound to the stalls to check out the goods.
Compared to Cha Mu Specialty Town, the Kui Shan Town venue temporarily set up in the Mao Mu Forest is relatively simpler. Besides the cart-like mini stalls recently favored by Maomu City along the riverside and plaza, there are also some small wooden huts made from spirit beast-grown trees selling specialties.
Since Фэн Юань and his group were numerous, they didn’t start moving together right away but decided to wander separately and regroup later.
Veronia did not follow Фэн Юань; rather, it was only Agunas and Tamur who chose to follow him. Even Long Boduo ran off to nearby stalls on his own.
Knowing their ordinary specialties were no match for other towns, Kui Shan Town instead showcased traditional cultural decorations with meanings they had altered.
Through these decorations, Фэн Юань realized they must have prepared thoroughly, or he wouldn’t see such a mix of various local cultures here.
Although Kui Shan Town, Cha Mu Town, and several other towns are under Maomu City jurisdiction, each has unique cultural customs, with Cha Mu Town being the most distinctive.
Being a long-preserved ancient town, its cultural richness even surpasses Maomu City, so the unique aspects of Cha Mu Town’s culture are evident in the altered patterns.
Beyond that, Фэн Юань could barely identify that the patterns also included Maomu City’s ancient culture, rain prayer patterns from Liantang Town, and other peculiar cultural markers unique to each place.
Perhaps due to forced fusion, these mixed patterns appeared somewhat discordant; they might look good at first glance, but a closer look reveals their complexity.
Probably for this reason, some stalls still had untouched traditional handicrafts.
But due to their meanings, those items were placed in the corners.
No choice; meanings like "life born from death," after all, aren’t very popular.
Фэн Юань, however, had no taboo about this; it wasn’t a big deal for him. It’s not just Фэн Юань, even beastmasters of ghost series and death-type spirit beasts felt no aversion towards these items, as their spirit beasts were related to them, right?
Ordinary people, however, tend to keep their distance from such things; in the past, when spirit beasts weren’t numerous, associating with ghost series and death-type spirit beasts was generally bad news.
This led to the relevant culture being not very popular; without spirit beasts, similar culture might have died out long ago.
Even Kui Shan Town, Фэн Юань guessed they had only recently revived these nearly forgotten things.
No choice; even Kui Shan Town’s traditional culture wasn’t something they fully accepted. Therefore, Фэн Юань was quite curious about the situation of the Ming Zun legend.
Such peculiar culture doesn’t simply appear; similar cultures often relate to the Netherworld or are homes to ghost series or death-type spirit beasts.
Only in these places would residents regard them without any taboo, even considering it part of their normal faith.
But Kui Shan Town is different; in Фэн Юань’s known records, there’s no ghost series or death-type spirit beast gathering in Kui Shan Town, as far as Netherworld connection?
Фэн Юань was unsure, but guessed there were no explicit links, or else Long Boduo and others wouldn’t have gone to investigate there later.
Unlike Божественный зверьs of the real world, many from the Netherworld, like Lorraine Tower, live from birth to this day. Given their lifespan, if there were overt connections, they would surely know.
So Фэн Юань was certain Kui Shan Town’s Ming Zun legend was abnormal, but there’s no rush; at least Фэн Юань was not considering these matters right now.
Placing a small stone statue on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s head, Фэн Юань chuckled and said,
"How about using this as your hat?"
Eyes moving upward, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound tried to see what was on its head. Unfortunately, it sensed that the object wasn’t steady, so it couldn’t move its head much. Because of this, it couldn’t identify what Фэн Юань put on its head.
The shopkeeper hesitated, unsure whether to ask Фэн Юань to remove the item, not because Фэн Юань hadn’t paid, but since the small stone statue was an ornament.
Its broad base made it not really suitable as a hat; putting it on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s head was a bit heavy, and any movement might cause it to fall.
Though carved from stone, the material wasn’t robust, and if it fell, it might break.
Luckily, Фэн Юань didn’t continue teasing the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, casually placing the stone statue back on the stall, and picked up a bead chain to measure it against the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound.
Shaking his head, Фэн Юань returned the bead chain to the stall, sighed, and rubbed the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s head vigorously, saying,
"Seems buying a gift for you isn’t so easy after all."
The bead chain could perfectly hang on the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s neck without affecting its movements, but many of its ultimate moves involved flames erupting on its body.
Although the beads were stone, the string was ordinary and not fire-resistant.
This didn’t surprise Фэн Юань; after all, people don’t typically put strange decorations on beasts during battle, unless the items have special abilities.
Everything here is just regular crafts with no special attributes or resistance to ultimate moves.
Фэн Юань casually took a bead string and put it on Xiao Ji’s neck, saying teasingly,
"I’m not being picky, just haven’t found anything suitable. Look at this one, don’t you have something similar?"
Xiao Ji had been persistently hinting for a while; Фэн Юань noticed, but the items here, though connected to the Netherworld, were mostly ordinary trinkets in design.
No custom treatments were made for different spirit beasts; these items weren’t much different from previous gifts Фэн Юань gave Xiao Ji.
That’s why Фэн Юань didn’t pick anything for Xiao Ji, not wanting to give the same or similar gifts repeatedly.
On the other hand, the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, being a new team member, had received almost no gifts from Фэн Юань, so there’s no concern of repeating gifts.
"Have you considered those robes?"
Agunas, who had been silent, suddenly glanced at the traditional folk costumes in the store and spoke up. Following Agunas’s gaze, Фэн Юань glanced at them and chuckled, saying,
"Better not; those robes...though nice, aren’t quite suitable."
These items aren’t going to disappear; besides, though exquisitely crafted, they didn’t measure up to Фэн Юань’s ritual robes.
No choice; the gap between world levels isn’t something craftsmanship can bridge.
