On the southern slope of this naturally formed col, they spent decades on the southern slope of this naturally formed col, slowly moving the foundation of stones from afar, and dragging back huge logs from the depths of Yelian Mountain, building houses, forming a small village, and they also built a wooden wall on the outskirts of the village in order to resist the zombies in the depths of the swamp.No one would have thought that the solid walls in the eyes of these orcs, the wooden houses made of logs that could be inhabited for more than a hundred years, would turn this village in the col into ruins in the spring in the hands of the corpse kings who crawled out of the depths of the swamp.Those gray dwarf slave faces have been cleaning up the entire ruins for more than half a month, just cleaning out those logs, Kuz thinks that these tattered logs can be used for nothing other than firewood, until after having corpse fire oil and corpse residue, those fire-gathering scrolls have been completely recovered into the wooden magic sealing box.Kutz intended to send the discarded timber to Horsens.In order to keep the blacksmith shop running, Horsens sent orc teams to the depths of Yelian Mountain to cut wood, and he needed a lot of charcoal and coke.However, Kuz's decision put me in the way, and I felt that the timber could not be used as the main beam of a house or the wall of a village, but it could be used for other purposes.In the past few days, the clean-up work has slowly come to an end, and the gray dwarves have actually started a new work, they don't know where to find an anvil, and they actually set up a simple blacksmith shop on the outskirts of the village: anvils, wind boxes, standing furnaces, water troughs, and even they have asked for some corpse residue soaked in corpse fire oil from the gray dwarf slaves who make corpse oil, which is said to burn at a temperature higher than the refined coke, so that in this way.Tooling throughout the tribe, as well as simple crafting, are no longer a problem.Horsens followed Kuz and I as we walked through the deserted village of Laitu, and everywhere we saw that only the foundationstones of the houses remained, many improvised huts made of planks and cowhides.It's on these cornerstones.The original Raitu beast girls were very nostalgic for their homes, and even if they had been razed to the ground, they would silently choose to build improvised shacks on top of the ruins.The orcs who joined the Laitu tribe after being on the wasteland also chose some flat and clean places to build temporary shacks.The village in the col looks messy.Outside the disorganized shack were all kinds of miscellaneous items, washed leather armor, linen bandeau breasts, half-cut sausages, and strings of half-dried dried meat.Some of the tattered wooden basins, clay pots, woolen blankets that were picked up from the rubble, as long as they could be used, were cleared.Horsens sighed and said: "These dozen orc tribes near the drowning berth should almost all be like this, hey!
Unexpectedly, nearly a hundred years of painstaking management would be ruined overnight. ”"Everything will be fine!"
Kutz likes to say that, and his optimism is infected by Geril.And Horsens laughed and said to Kutz with satisfaction: "You young people are still motivated."
It's a good idea to be energetic, and a kid like you is born to be a leader!
I've never seen them work so hard in my quarries!
”Horsens pointed not far away, two gray dwarf slaves who were sawing broken wood with a long saw.There was no orc overseer beside the two gray dwarves, and there were two boiled sweet potatoes on the wooden pier beside them.They were breaking up the discarded timber and making it into a two-inch plank, with a square pile of timber next to it."
What are they doing?
Is it a bed?
”Geril didn't understand it for a long time, and asked Kuz in confusion.Kuzi grinned and said, "You ask Jia, these are all Jia's ideas!"
”Geril's inquiring gaze overshadowed me.I had no choice but to stand up and explain to her: "These square timbers and planks are also fine woods that have been finely worked, and I want to turn those broken and half-rotten logs, as well as logs that have been discarded for various reasons, into these fine timbers, which can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as wooden beds, window frames, wardrobes, wooden doors, dining tables, and benches."
Anything you can imagine, you can do it.And the wood is easy to stack and preserve. ”Finally, I said, "Since it has been discarded, it would be a pity if we couldn't use it and use it as firewood!"
”Horsens, who was on the side, listened to what I said, and was very inspired to nod his head again and again: "This is indeed the truth, this is the truth.It's great to turn trash into treasure!
”He saw that the two gray dwarf slaves had been working with their heads down, and they didn't even communicate with each other, and they didn't pay attention to us standing not far away, all the time with our heads down.Horsens asked curiously, "How did these lazy gray dwarf slaves become willing to work so hard, there is no gray dwarf slave in my quarry who is willing to work so hard!"
”"I know this, Jia always told me that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it!"
Kuzi said hurriedly on the side.Horsens asked uncertainly, "Just two full meals?"
It's as simple as that?
”"In fact, we just let them understand how difficult life morality is, and also let them understand a truth, that is, none of us can survive, and they must be the first to sacrifice!"
I added that at this point I thought I should wear a pair of tortoiseshell eyes so that I could look older, otherwise I would think I was an adult dwarf if I was talking like this.Horsens suddenly realized, he paused the cane in his hand fiercely, and said very excitedly: "Why didn't I think of this truth earlier!"
They are just so hungry that they can eat two full meals now, how can they not cherish it!
”Luckily, our group had slowly walked away, otherwise the two grey dwarf slaves would have been working in fear.Walking along the stone road to the east of the village, I said to Horsens at Kuz's side: "Actually, there are some other things in this, such as distribution according to work, clear rewards and punishments, all of which have a little to do with it!"
”Kutz and the others were accustomed to me speaking in such a tone, but Horsens had a look of surprise on his face.I decided to talk less and talk too much about things, which always revealed our plans, like I've been talking to Kuz lately about the future of the Raytu tribe.I don't want to talk too much about how to rebuild this orc village, the shrewd miner who can always find some business opportunity in it, and then lobby and squeeze us.The refinery was built in an open area on the east side of the village.Nowadays, it is still very shabby, only a temporary stove made of stone sticks, but these granite stone sticks will fall off naturally one by one, and sometimes they will burst.It's not very safe, and I'm worried that these stoves made of stone sticks will collapse one day, so I've been trying to rebuild a row of stoves out of clay for the past few days, but unfortunately there are hundreds of headless swamp zombies piled up next to the stoves.Before all of them were refined into corpse fire oil, there was no chance to extinguish the stove, and the matter dragged on.Ten large iron pots more than three meters high were as huge as giant mixers in a gravel yard, the corpse residue under the stove was burned red, and the raging flames from the corpse squirted from the corpse boiled the corpse fire oil in the iron pot, and a gray dwarf slave wore a cowhide apron and sat awkwardly on a wooden shelf.Holding an iron spoon more than three meters long in his hand, he is adding blue sail crystal sand to it.Looking at his roasted red face, I thought to myself that this job could only be done by dwarves who are not afraid of fire.The powdered bluesail crystal sand was carefully and evenly sprinkled into the iron pot by the gray dwarf, and then the strong-looking gray dwarf began to scoop out the corpse fire oil from the iron pot one by one, and poured it into the oil drum that had been prepared.An orc overseer lay with his back to us on a freshly made bench, apparently so immersed in his own world that he didn't even hear our footsteps, perhaps because of the fierce burning sound coming from all ten iron pots, or perhaps because the smelter was too cozy for him to let his guard down.He stared leisurely at the dozens of gray dwarves toiling at their work.While saying to the gray dwarf slave, "Hey, I said Ryota, these swamp zombies are left, Master Jijia has already ordered."
After refining, you have to extinguish all these stoves, these granite have exploded very seriously recently, if one accidentally collapses a certain oil pot, a few of us will be the first to die in the fire, and no one can run away!
You see, even the corpses under the stove, a single zombie arm is burning all day.This pot full of corpse fire oil is really going to burn, I guess in the end we won't even have ashes left, you have to be careful to keep an eye on Lao Tzu!
”The gray dwarf was very attentive in scooping out the corpse oil from the iron pot, spoonful by spoonful, and when the orc overseer said the last word, he quickly turned his head to show that he knew and understood.But when he turned his head, he saw me and Kuz approaching with Horsens, and was so frightened that his long-handled iron spoon almost fell from his hand, and immediately splashed a hot splash of oil.Fortunately, the oil did not splash out of the oil pot, if it really accidentally splashed out, it flowed down the edge of the iron pot, and the hot oil in the whole big iron pot would be ignited, and if you wanted to put out the fire at that time, it was definitely not an easy task.The orc overseer was so frightened that he bounced off the wooden chair when he saw the gray dwarf slave Ryota drop the iron spoon, pointed at the gray dwarf slave and scolded: "You kid really don't know how to write dead words, if you light this pot of hot oil, I'll give you an airship ticket to heaven!"
You reckless fellow, haven't you been in a hurry to get a whip lately" "Ahem!
”Horsens was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his orcs who were playing treasure there.Hearing a series of coughs, the orc overseer subconsciously turned his head, and suddenly saw a group of people behind him staring at him as if they were watching a play, and suddenly his face was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and he stood next to the wooden chair with a complicated and trembling expression, looking at Horsens with some pity, a half-gnawed sausage fell out of his sleeve and rolled down the wooden chair, and he wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth in a panic."
Get out of the way!"
Horsens reached out and kicked the embarrassed orc overseer aside, glaring at him fiercely.Horsens was drawn to the ten large iron cauldrons and the flames burning below, and ignored the embarrassed expression of the orc overseer in the quarry.He wanted to take two steps forward, but a breeze blew, and he was forced back by the boiling heat, and he pointed to the big iron pot and asked, "These swamp zombies are refining corpse fire oil, are they going to be used to make fire bombs?"
”"Nope!
We didn't think about what exactly we would do with them, our brothers just wanted to transport these corpse fire oils back to Gurudin, and sell them directly!
Actually, our original idea was to sell it to people who hunt in the wilderness all year round, and it was very resistant to burning," Kutz explained, following Horsens' words.Horsens opened his mouth clearly, gently touched the stubble on his chin with one hand, and said slowly: "That's it!
Those complicated oil drums are actually stoves, but the price of these corpse fire oils is high, right?
”Seeing that Kutz and I were both looking at him suspiciously, Horsens didn't answer his words, so he went on to explain: "This time I came in person, in addition to escorting your relatives back safely, I actually want to make two deals with your brothers!"
The first is to see if we can make oil drums next.In addition, I heard from you that it would take a lot of iron to rebuild this village in Drowned, and I still have a little stock there!
If you two want to buy it, I can buy it cheaper. ”I said in my heart: Your iron ore there is not only a little stock, it is simply a mountain!
To be continued.
