On such an afternoon, the warm sun was shining, and Kig put his hand on a pergola over his eyebrows and looked over to Kuz.Then he said with some confusion: "What are they still talking about endlessly?"
Don't you just want to exchange these armor weapons for that piece of Gobi, it's really annoying to grind and chirp there, or let's go and sit in the shop over there for a while, and let Az talk to this group of old men here, it's all his family's business anyway. ”Kige pointed to a restaurant not far away, on the outside of the circular road around the central square, there were many very luxurious-looking shops, and a small two-story attic of brick and stone was built less than a hundred meters away from the council hall.On the front of it is a beer glass and a piece of roast lamb chops, and although the lines are very simple, the artist's skill is so profound that people can recognize them at a glance, and it is not difficult to guess that this is a restaurant.I hesitated a little, look at the fine salt under the buttocks, these salts are to be exchanged for money, if you don't guard here, losing a bag will not outweigh the loss!
This time we are going to the edge of the swamp to catch those swamp zombies, the road ahead is bleak, Kuz and I don't know very well what kind of strength those zombies are, but according to Gribaschin's and Kut's description, we have some understanding, at this time we are like ponies crossing the river, don't try it, how to know the depth."
Okay, okay!
We'll be waiting for him for a while, Caterina, go buy us some glass of apple juice!"
”Kig flicked his handkerchief impatiently.Caterina is timid, and I'm afraid she'll be teased by the savage orc werewolves when she goes to this orc tavern, after all, such a delicate red-haired beauty is very conspicuous when walking down the street.So he said, "Why don't I go!"
You're waiting here. ”"Then I'll go too!"
Kig jumped off the salt bag, a smug smile on his lips.I sighed with a broken face and said, "Forget it, let's go together!"
”Of course, you have to go and say hello to Kuz before leaving, or when this guy turns around and finds that we are all gone, he will be depressed and lose his temper alone.This guy has a good temper and personality, but he is greedy, we go to enjoy food, how can we be without him.I walked quietly over.Pulling his clean leather armor beside him, it was very noisy all around, and the councillors of the Presbyterian Church were still chattering about the gray dwarves, and it seemed that the discovery of the gray dwarves on the outskirts of Gruudin Town was a big deal for the Gruudin Council.Kuz was dizzy when the liger elder asked him.Just kidding, how do we know where these dwarves come from?
I was afraid that Kuz would not be able to hear me, so I said to him in a loud voice, "We're going to go to the restaurant over there for lunch, don't wait for you, you have to keep an eye on our salt, wait here and we'll bring you something to eat!"
”The next moment, everyone stopped arguing, as if the whole world was silent.I don't know whose wrist the tiger tooth bracelet slipped off and fell on the bluestone slab.There was a crisp sound that I could hear so clearly.The word "salt" in my mouth seemed to have been magnified countless times, like a heavy hammer repeatedly slamming into the chests of these councillors.It was as if it were frozen, when the werewolf guard's shiny dagger pierced the burlap bag of salt again, and saw the fine white salt trickle out of the sack like sand and sprinkle on the cyan stone floor.I'll give you a lung!
How hard it is for these salt bags to come by, who knows?
In order to be able to transport the fine salt out, the beast girls of the Laytu tribe stayed up for several nights in a row, carrying the linen shirts in the dwarven chain mail.Almost instantly, it was sewn into a sack.Seeing the snow-white fine salt flowing all over the ground, the werewolf guard didn't expect the salt inside to flow out like sand, so he hurriedly blocked the mouth with his hands, but there was still fine salt flowing out of his fingers.Coote stepped forward in a few big strides.Kicked the werewolf guard away with a fierce kick, frowned at the fine salt scattered on the ground, and scolded with a sinking face: "Go get the salt box!"
”Kurt put his hand on the mouth of the sack and took a handful of salt, dipped a little of it with his finger and licked it to his lips, it was salty and smellless.The councillors of the Council of Elders stared nervously at Coote, and saw that Coote nodded with a serious expression.For a while, the expressions on his face were varied, and the expressions were wonderful."
You made all this on the other side of Qinghai Lake?"
Kurt asked Kurtz solemnly.Kutz was a little dazed, then nodded yes.Those snow-white fine salts shone brightly in the sun, as if they were showing off their extraordinary.At this time, a werewolf elder beside Kut also came over, laughed and said: "I have never seen such a good fine salt in the hands of any Terran merchant, your seventh brother is very capable, this is really a hero out of a young man."
It was able to get so much good salt from Qinghai Lake without a sound. ”The members of the Council of Elders around were curious, the salt in the various trading houses in Guruding Town had almost run out recently, and everyone's daily food was about to fade out, looking at Bai Huahua's fine salt eyes were shining, everyone had their own thoughts, after all, this was a big deal.This means that at any time in the future, there will be no need to look at the faces of those salt merchants of the Terrans and Dwarves.This is considered the real ability of the orc tribe to make their own salt.The habit of nearly a thousand years made the councillors of the Gurudin Presbyterian Church wary, so someone in the crowd asked again: "All this salt was brought back from the Qinghai Lake on the other side of the Gobi, which was cursed by evil spirits?"
”"Yes!"
Kutz answered honestly."
Don't they all say that the salt lake there is poisonous?"
A councillor approached Coote's side and gently rubbed his hand on the fine salt and asked.The councillors who had been close to each other scattered again, as if they were hiding from the plague, for fear that the poison would infect them.Most of these people were orcs of noble status in gorgeous clothes, and they had their own tribes and territories in the western wilderness.Staying by Kut's side were several orc wise men, and even one of them gently pinched a small handful of fine salt, looked up at Kuz with wise eyes, and asked calmly, "Even if those wasteland bison drink the salt water of Qinghai Lake, they will be poisoned."
Are you sure that this salt does not contain poisons that kill people if eaten?
”Kuzi nodded firmly, and then in the exclamation of everyone, the orc wise man actually swallowed the small pinch of fine salt directly, only to see him holding his neck with one hand, making a strange grunt in his throat, and his face turned red to greet the guards on the side, and he was speechless for a while.Seeing the orc wise man look pained.Immediately, a shy werewolf nobleman stood up and pointed at Kuz's nose and sarcastically said, "Hmph!
You young people are so self-righteous that you think you're a savior!
For thousands of years, no sage dared to eat the salt in Qinghai Lake.It's not that it's cursed by the devil, it's a cursed land, and the salt water there can poison a strong ox, and you are so bold that you dare to bring salt back from there.and blatantly sent it to the Council of Elders, what a boldness!
”"If you kill the wise Imsh this time, you will be sent to the gallows!"
Another werewolf nobleman on the side approached Kuz and said, frightened by Kut's fierce eyes and hid in the crowd again.Kuz's face turned red, and he was in a hurry, and he actually stammered: "I, I" I looked at the wise man of Imsh on the side and did not look like he was poisoned, and then I thought about whether the old orc had eaten too much salt just now, so I untied the water bladder on Kuz's waist, ran up and took two steps and handed it to the wise man of Imsh obediently, this orc wise man was obviously salted.Grabbing the kettle and pouring a breath of water into his throat, he tasted it and exhaled a breath and said, "This salt is so salty!"
”Seeing that the wise man of Imsh was just salted to his throat, and after drinking a sip of water, he was fine, and at this time, the fat werewolf councilor who came out of the crowd was inevitably a little embarrassed, he didn't advance, he didn't retreat, and some helpless stood alone on the field, and the werewolf nobles who had just cheered for him had already shrunk into the crowd, but who had the heart to care about him at this time.Salt.It used to be a big problem for the orc tribe, a big problem, but now when someone stands up and says, "I can get endless salt!"
It was a very large loaf of bread, so big that if one person ate it, he would be drowned by a hungry man with saliva.Even if Kuz's family has been in charge of the Blood Wolf Clan for decades, and even if the Shaman Lord Kulebaolos is still the spiritual leader of the entire Orc Werewolf, it is impossible for the salt production to fall on Kuzi alone.The power of the orc tribe on the Paya Plateau is very scattered, and the orc wolf clan alone is divided into several major forces, the Silver Moon Wolf Clan, which was once known as the Werewolf Royal Family, the White Wolf Clan, which guards the southernmost tip of the Pai Plateau, is also known as the Frost Wolf Clan, and the Blood Wolf Clan that guards the Guruding Fortress in the western wilderness of the Pai Plateau.The Grey-Clawed Wolf Clan, who live a nomadic life in the wasteland, and the Wolf Warrior Clan who protect the Sacred Snow Mountain, these are only the forces of the Werewolf Clan in the Orc Tribe, and there are other Orc Clans, such as the Centaur Clan, the Minotaur Clan, the Lion Tiger Clan, the Ogre Clan, and so on.If the issue of salt caused infighting within the Blood Wolf Clan at the beginning, and even caused disputes and long-cherished wishes, then one day the Blood Wolf Clan itself would not be able to keep the formula of the salt making technique, so this big cake, we never thought of swallowing it alone from the beginning, when Kut and the other two elders of the Council of Elders found us, Kuzi and I made it clear that this salt making technique belonged to the Elder Council of Guruding Town and belonged to the Blood Wolf Clan.We just have to get a little bit of the salt-making errand, just a little bit of a request.And Kut and two other powerful elders have agreed to our request.When these snow-white fine salts really appeared in front of the elders' eyes, those fine salts like white sand were several times better than the coarse salt that merchants brought in from the Grimm Empire or the Dwarven Kingdom thousands of miles away.There is a world of difference between the two, these old orc elders and councilors who can stand in the Council of Elders, each of them has a big tribe behind them, and after so many years of experience in the Council of Elders, their pores have already been hollow, so when they saw these fine salts that were as crystal clear as white sand, all the councilors surrounded them, and at this time they began to ask about the details of the salt-making technique.So, again, we needed a reason to explain why we had the salt-making technique, and Kuz and I looked at each other tacitly, and at the same time set our eyes on Kig's well, when a child and a seemingly loyal and honest orc boy pointed at a magician apprentice at the same time and said: She told us!
At this time, Miss Qi's eyes widened, no matter how innocent her eyes blinked, it was useless.So this salt-making technique was described by me and Kuz as the secret art of salt-making in the Etian Kingdom.And Miss Qi is a magic apprentice in the Royal Grimm Junior Academy of Magic, and she is also a genius magic apothecary.After discussing for a long time, the elders of the Elders of Gruudin Town, who had a pure temperament, decided to give some rewards to the magic apprentice Qige, after all, he helped the orc tribe solve a life problem that had plagued him for hundreds of years, and such a merit was not too much to reward some high-grade magic herbs or high-grade magic metals, magic crystals, and epic weapons."
Child, what do you want?
I will do everything in my power to compensate you for what you have done for our orc tribe!
”The liger elder beside Coot asked one more question.Kig stood beside Kuz, her hands behind her back and looked extremely well-behaved, her eyes were like crooked crescents when she smiled, so that everyone could feel her loveliness, her big eyes turned, and then under the gaze of everyone, her eyes swept to my waist.At this moment, my heart panicked, and I subconsciously touched the hemp rope tied on my belt.The hemp rope was braided with a delicate bow, and under the rope was a tiger's eye stone drum the size of an adult's fist.In order to show off to the old orc Gribaschin, I hung this very beloved stone drum as an ornament, although the fist-sized stone was very heavy on my waist, but then I sat on the back of the Agui beast, and I didn't feel anything obviously, and I forgot to put it in my bag for a while.At this time, I was looked at by a group of orc elders of the Council of Elders, and I couldn't help but feel a little flustered, this stone drum can only be owned by becoming a junior shaman witch doctor, I hung this, wouldn't it be ruthless!
Don't offend a woman, I thought so sadly at the moment, but I didn't expect Qige to continue: "Then give me two more stone drums, this ornament is so beautifully made, I like its carving process very much!"
”I, Kuz, and the two-colored pupil Liger Elder were petrified in an instant!
Few people make such a request, mainly because the orcs who need it will naturally have it, and those who don't need it are useless to have it.This item, which looks like an ornament or a knick-knack, is actually the simplest totem of the orc shaman.Only orc shamans with magical powers are eligible to use it, but orcs who become shamans have the opportunity to choose a stone drum of any attribute in the warehouse of the Elders, and the difference between them is that each stone drum contains a primary spell, as long as the stone drum is infused with mana, the magic pattern circle in the stone drum can be activated, and the magic skill can be activated.These magical skills are broadly divided into four systems: wind, fire, water, and earth.Generally, the early orc shaman will choose the stone drum totem, after all, it is not easy for the orc shaman to improve the affinity of the magic element, and the early orc shaman will choose a certain system of magic element affinity to improve the cultivation, so the general shaman only needs a stone drum totem in the early stage.This kind of stone drum totem consumes very little mana, and when it comes to the high level, the shaman will choose a more advanced stone pillar totem, at this time, the stone drum totem on those shamans is useless, and many shamans will return these unused stone drum totems to the Council of Elders.I am now holding three other stone drums carved with different talismans, all of which were selected by the Lion Tiger Elder from the warehouse, and the carved stone drums were extremely beautiful and of slightly precious materials.The three stone drums are engraved with different types of magic patterns, and the carvings on each stone drum are different from the Xuanhuo magic patterns on the stone drum on my body, the sapphire crystal stone drum that looks the size of a fist is carved with the magic pattern of the waves, the crystal clear moonstone drum is carved with the light and uncertain wind demon pattern, and the verdant turquoise drum is carved with the mountains at the northern foot of the Pai Plateau, and this majestic picture is condensed into a small stone drum.Kig looked at me with a smile, and then tied the other three stone drums with hemp rope one by one and hung them all around my waist.Four heavy stone drums nearly broke my leather belt.I asked Kig with my eyes, but she winked at me secretly, as if to say, "Don't worry, there must be your good!"
To be continued.
