Chapter 3061: Magic Fruit and the Celestial Language
Walking through the Golden Dragon City District in person, what Xia Duo felt was more vivid and shocking than what he had seen in Saville's memories; the first impression this district gave him was that it was large, and not the kind of large that is simply scaled up from something small.
Rather, it conformed to the physique and habits of golden dragons, full of grandeur and unparalleled beauty of order, while simultaneously accounting for the convenience of smaller beings.
Walking through such a district, this was the first time since his transmigration that Xia Duo had felt such a rich exotic atmosphere; after all, the elf cities of the Material Plane were still cities of humanoid creatures, and even if their aesthetics formed a contrast with humans, they were still within the realm of imagination.
But this Golden Dragon City District was something Xia Duo could not have imagined no matter what, before seeing it with his own eyes (viewing memories counts, too).
Just look at the tall towers standing in the city.
Adjacent towers were connected by Xuan Kong Budao, and the tower tops and bodies also had platforms available for golden dragons to move about; Xia Duo had not been in this district for long before he had already seen quite a few golden dragons resting on those platforms.
From the platforms, one could overlook the earth with an unobstructed view; of course, it was only natural that golden dragons of higher status enjoyed platforms with better views.
On the ground, there were unexpectedly quite a few elves, humans, and even dwarves and gnomes; one would assume they also came from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire.
It was just that their existence was unknown to the Elf Main God and the Princess; to other gods, these Reincarnators were equivalent to non-existent, and now they had been incorporated into the Kingdom of Radiance.
Xia Duo was not conspicuous while mingling in the crowd; of course, this was for the elf and human Reincarnators on the ground, but for the golden dragons flying in the sky or resting on the tower platforms, it was likely impossible to hide.
However, neither the golden dragons nor Xia Duo cared about the other's presence; the golden dragons leisurely enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the Kingdom of Radiance, while Xia Duo was merely conducting a most ordinary exploration.
……
Walking halfway, Xia Duo noticed that the pedestrians on the road ahead had increased; it seemed something had happened up ahead, so he could not help but quicken his pace.
Only after getting closer did he realize that it was an elf Reincarnator living here who had just harvested a batch of fruit and was distributing it to neighbors and passersby; Xia Duo was close by and was also given two.
This was a mysterious fruit that was bright red, succulent, and even shimmering with faint fluorescence; he had never seen it in the Material Plane before. It should be a specialty of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, or a new variety created by the beliefs of these Reincarnators after they arrived in the Outer Planes.
Because he was in the Kingdom of Radiance, Xia Duo did not worry about the other party doing anything to the fruit, so he immediately took a bite; instantly, a refreshing, mint-like tingling sensation rushed straight to his brain, and the energy he had previously expended was instantly restored by more than half.
This made Xia Duo's eyes light up. In fact, he had long known that many specialties of the Outer Planes were excellent products for replenishing energy for people of the Material Plane, comparable to potions, yet without producing the drug resistance of potions.
His initial willingness to support the villages in the Daxia Divine Kingdom was largely to obtain a stable source of Celestial Wheat; that wheat could also survive in the Material Plane, but both its yield and effects were far inferior to those harvested in the Outer Planes.
Yatewude, the agricultural Consultant of the Territory, had lost who knows how many hairs on research in this area, and now, Xia Duo had discovered another Celestial specialty, and its effects were no less than Celestial Wheat.
Celestial Wheat excelled in satiating hunger and stable mass production, while this mint-flavored fruit excelled in instant recovery; in terms of the single function of restoring energy, it far exceeded Celestial Wheat.
If it could be introduced to the Material Plane, it would likely cause quite a stir.
Thinking this, the pace of Xia Duo's feet slowed down unconsciously, which appeared somewhat prominent among the local residents who left after receiving fruit or simply stopped to chat with the owner.
The owner distributing the fruit was a tall Gold Elf, and he did not consider engaging in agriculture to be lowly at all; if this were in the Material Plane, it would be simply unimaginable. At this moment, this hospitable Gold Elf had already noticed Xia Duo's lingering intention and took the initiative to extend an invitation:
"You are a guest from afar, aren't you? Akandor Fruit rarely bears fruit, but this time, because Lord Lu Yin has been promoted to Divine Envoy, it is a rare opportunity; you might as well try two more, guest."
As he spoke, he took out two more fruits and handed them to Xia Duo. The fruit owner's words immediately focused the eyes of the surrounding local residents on Xia Duo, but these people had no intention of exclusion; on the contrary, they were exceptionally enthusiastic.
Before Xia Duo could even speak, these people began to egg him on to accept the fruit, even clearing a path for him. The local residents were so enthusiastic that Xia Duo could not bear to refuse, and he truly liked this fruit.
This was in the Golden Dragon Community, and these people were undoubtedly speaking the language of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, just as the Reincarnators of the Daxia Divine Kingdom all spoke Netherese.
But in the Outer Planes, these languages from the Material Plane actually only remained as an appearance; the deeper substance could be called "Celestial Language."
Having mastered this language, one could communicate with creatures speaking any language in the Outer Planes, regardless of whether the other party knew Celestial Language or not.
As for what would happen if he went to the Material Plane, Xia Duo did not know for the time being, because he had not yet learned this Celestial Language.
Residents of the Kingdom of Radiance were blessed by the Lord of Radiance and knew this language without needing to learn it, and they could integrate the Celestial Language while maintaining their language from before they died; it was hard to say for a living person like Xia Duo.
Theoretically, he was now also a formal resident of the Kingdom of Radiance, but he had not discovered that he had gained an extra language; perhaps he needed to learn it separately.
However, this did not prevent him from being able to understand the Gold Elf's words now and comprehend them without error. The Akandor Fruit the other party spoke of should mean a fruit rich in Magic power.
Perhaps in the early days of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire's plane, before the elves had integrated into the Holy Elf Empire, they crudely considered Magic to be Dharma Power and named the fruit discovered during that period that could replenish a Spellcaster's energy "Magic Fruit."
Language can indeed reveal a lot of information; if one can fully understand a language, it is actually equivalent to understanding the civilization of the subject that speaks this language.
Learning of the preciousness of this fruit, Xia Duo did not want to be a greedy and powerless guest, so he took out some stock he had collected from his Personal Space—
There was maple leaf wine he had produced at the Evereska estate, as well as elf craft brews purchased through various channels, and of course, there was no shortage of fruit wine brewed by the Tower of Time itself.
Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Xia Duo took out these wines one by one and, imitating the fruit owner's manner, distributed them to the local residents present, after which he accepted the two Magic Fruits from the other party.
However, he did not eat these two fruits on the spot, but solemnly added a seal and put them away; he prepared to share them with Niya after returning to the Material Plane.
