Karantso and I were standing in front of a wooden cage with small white silk cocoons hanging on the cliff wall, according to Karantso, those silk cocoons were filled with restless goblins, and any goblin slaves who were lazy, sick, injured, or trying to escape, once discovered, would be sent here and made into white silk cocoons and hung on the walls, which were the food of the giant spiders.It seems that these giant spiders have plenty of food, and I wonder how many goblin slaves Boynd has captured to have so many problem goblins, knowing that these goblins are timid and afraid of death, and it is impossible for them to expose so many shortcomings when their lives are seriously threatened.In the underground cave, a huge wooden support is erected every ten meters, and there is a dim oil lamp next to the support, so that the tunnel does not look completely dark on this day, and there is a faint light, which will give people a psychological hint, that is: hope.The air here wasn't stuffy, but the hum of the spinning wheel could be heard from a long distance, and I asked Karaantso in surprise, "Does your orc tribe make a spinning wheel?"
”She looked at me blankly and asked, "What is a spinning wheel?"
”Well, I didn't say it!
I shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands, searched for words, and said to her simply and briskly: "The machine that spins spider silk." ”She was stunned, then paused, thought about it seriously, and said to me: "Jijia, don't say it, our tribe really has a spinning wheel, although the style is a bit simple, but it is very convenient. ”In front of the square wooden cage showed the disgusting and hideous head of the giant spider, and a large and small eye grew, watching the movement around them in horror, hissing sounds, and when they saw me and Karantso walking slowly, the books in their abdomen and lungs became rapid breathing.
Push it up.I looked at cage after cage of giant spiders and asked Karantso, "Didn't you say to transport these spiders back to the orc village?"
What, changed your mind?
”Karantso clasped his hands around his chest.
Before, the double-edged greatsword on her back glowed coldly in the faint light, and she smiled faintly, and then said to me, "That Bernd guy has some new ideas, so we decided to store these spiders in the underground cave for the time being." ”Then she added to me: "That Bernd guy is always full of whimsical ideas, and the dwarf you got back is such an interesting person." ”It seems that Karantso has begun to slowly try to accept the dwarven warrior.At this time, I checked the giant spiders in the cage one by one, some of the giant spiders had completely healed where the spider legs were broken in their abdomen, no new spider legs had grown at the wounds, and the remaining small spider legs also fell off automatically at the joints, it seemed that they had been living in the cave for a while, and the dampness and cold here had no effect on these big guys with strong physiques.The only thing that makes them unhappy is probably the way they are raised like cramming.Some of the newly caught giant spider wounds were brand new, and the remaining nearly half a foot long spider leg was still flowing purple liquid, and whenever I got close to these spiders, their breathing became extremely rapid, and in the dim light, countless spider eyes stared at me, and I also felt a terrifying feeling of pores.At this time, I noticed one thing, the spiders in the wooden cage were placed upside down in the cage, and their huge bodies were stuck in the wooden cage, and there was no way to move at all, only to expose the spinning to our line of sight very clearly.The big spiders who had lost their legs were locked in the corral, their bodies immobilized and the spinners at the tips of their tails trembling slightly.
Not too far from the tail of each giant spider, there was a spinning wheel in the shape of a wheel, and between the spinning wheel and the spinner, there was a very thin silk thread connected to each other.A total of seven beast girls sat in front of the spinning wheel, shaking the spinning wheel in front of them quickly, and seven extremely fine spider silks spit out quickly from the spinner at the spider's tail.No, to be precise, under the high-speed rotation of the spinning wheel, the spider silk is quickly pulled out, each spinning wheel is like a large roller, but it can be seen that each roller is installed with a very delicate spindle, so that the roller can rotate rapidly, and at the same time that the roller rotates at high speed, the cam device placed in the center of the roller can also make the roller sway evenly from side to side, so that the spun silk thread will be evenly wound on the spindle.This is a very ingenious mechanism, and such a linkage mechanical mechanism is undoubtedly a book of heaven for the orcs in the orc tribe, and they have no way to make this thing.However, only I know that these spinning wheels must be in the hands of these orcs.Because even I'm not sure if this thing is available at Greene.I looked at Karantso suspiciously, and when he saw that I had found the clue, he hesitated for a moment, and said to me, "I promised Bernd not to talk nonsense, and he did not do anything but make a few more elaborate wheels, which is not difficult." ”Seeing that I was still staring at her, she stroked her hair with some embarrassment, and then said, "Well, I know I can't hide it from you, yes, he looked at a few drawings in the treasure chest, and then he helped us make this thing, with it, we beast girls can make the most delicate silk ingots even if we are dozing and shaking the spinning wheel." ”"You don't blame me, do you?"
You're not going to trouble him, are you?
Karantso asked me cautiously."
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that!
However, since it has been made like this, have you ever thought of using a waterwheel or windmill as a power, this kind of manpower spinning wheel is a bit too low-level after all!
”I sighed, since Karantso said that, it meant that he was taking the blame on himself, and he didn't want me to blame Bernd for peeking at the drawings in those treasure chests.I can only stop at this, and if I think about it from another angle, it is not a good thing.In addition to me, in the underground cave, there are still people who can understand these drawings, and the most commendable thing is that some of the mechanisms in these drawings have been very cleverly applied to the real equipment.But apparently, Karantso didn't understand what I meant, and she thought about it, thinking that I was saying to her: there are a few beast girls who spin silk.So she spread out her hands and said to me, "I only have so many people, so, at the moment, it is imperative that you think of ways to get me back more slaves, the construction here needs manpower, the development of orc villages needs manpower, the management of those barbarians at the foot of the mountain needs manpower, the development of the circular valley also needs manpower, we have caught a total of twenty-seven giant spiders, and now the only spiders that can move up and draw silk are a fraction of the total number of spiders seven, and those spiders can only be idle in wooden cages to raise fat, you know?"
That's a great waste!
”"Okay, I'll find a way to buy some more slaves as soon as possible, but before that, can you enslave those goblins, since you've let them dig caves, why don't you let them spin?"
I proposed.Karantso grumbled, "Do you think I haven't tried?
As soon as those goblins smell here, or hear any sound from these giant spiders, they will become paralyzed and have no strength to work, at first I thought they were pretending, and after killing a few in succession, they were still the same, so, in desperation, I gave up this idea. ”At this time, an orc female warrior suddenly stopped, the spinning wheel stopped turning, she touched the extremely thin spider silk with her hand, frowned, picked up a rattan and stood up, walked to the giant spider, and slammed it on its abdomen.
A few whips were whipped in the soft spot, and the spider let out an irrepressible scream of pain.Karantso walked over and asked the beast girl, "Is this guy spitting filaments again?"
”The beast girl nodded, and whipped the giant spider a few more times before turning around and walking back to her place and continuing to spin.Sure enough, at this time, the spider silk spit out of the giant spider's belly spinner became much tougher, and it turned out that these spiders were sometimes lazy.There are already two rows of neat spider silk ingots on the wooden shelves on the side, these are the best materials for making magic spider silk cloth, it seems that in such a short period of time, it is quite rewarding, and who would have thought that in this dark underground cave, there would be such a special spider silk processing workshop.It is said that the spider silk of this spider silk demon pattern cloth, in the trading market, almost all of them are one ingot of gold and one ingot of yarn, looking at the silk ingots on the shelves, the joy of harvest is overflowing in my heart.At this time, it occurred to me that a large number of slaves in the Imperial Capital Slave Market came from various planes, and those slave traders were to transport the natives and defeated from all planes back to the Imperial Capital, and then force them to sign a magical slave contract, put a metal collar around their necks, and become slaves.In this way, the Hiero plane must also be a large slave transportation area, then, there must be a very prosperous slave market in Tanton City, and the final destination of our team's trip this time is located in Tanton City, I might as well buy some slaves in the slave market in Tanton City.Subsequently, I went to see the square stone chambers excavated out of the tunnel, almost every stone chamber has an area of hundreds of square meters, and the smooth rock floor is carved with straight lines, these warp and weft lines carved on the flat ground divide the ground of the stone chamber into one meter square floor tiles, each floor tile is polished out of the anti-skid lines, which looks extremely elegant.On the surrounding stone walls, there is a relief-like stone pillar every short distance, only when you walk into it can you find that these stone pillars are actually intimately connected with the stone wall, these stone pillars extend upwards to the vaulted dome of the ceiling, the dome of nearly ten meters high makes this stone room look very wide, and the delicate round vaulted dome better prevents these underground stone chambers from rising to the roof.I don't know, how did those goblins dig out such a large stone chamber in such a short period of time, if you want to study it in detail, it will undoubtedly lead to a history of blood and tears of goblins, I don't care about the life and death of those goblins, for Xinliu Valley, it is urgent to control the number of goblins.I didn't have time to stay in the underground cavern for too long, and after touring this, I returned to the altar from scratch.By this time, Karantso had already prepared the herbs I needed and, of course, a few fish.Those fish are orc warriors who specially caught a few herring fish from the stream next to the orc village, as a half-elf Lucia's appetite has been a little bad recently, especially after I made the roasted spider leg that day, she has been eating fruit tightly for the past few days, and our team spans the entire Black Forest, and it takes a lot of physical strength every day.Moreover, the Black Forest is full of ferocious beasts, which requires every member of our team to be in the best possible physical condition.It's hard to find fish in this forest, so I asked Karantso to send someone to Xinliu Valley to bring back a few herrings.Also, barbecue game has been a little tired of eating recently, maybe you can change the way to eat fried fish tonight.As for those herbs, they are the last herbs that Qige needs to mix Xueluo ink, although they are ingredients, but without these herbs, then what is blended is not Xueluo ink, they are not like Ningshen grass, it doesn't matter how much or how little you put it, at most the ink state is unstable.Without these ingredients, it would be impossible to make snowfall ink, and Kige has tried and made it several times on the road, all of which have ended in failure.There is no way, it just so happens that these ingredients are in stock in the underground herb warehouse of Xinliu Valley, which is an incomparably huge medicine garden of low-level magic herbs, and there are hundreds of low-level magic herbs growing in this world.In my underground warehouse, these magic herbs have been stored for a while, and now that I take them out at this time, I can only make excuses that they are pressing.
In the innermost part of the magic backpack, Qige has been in a state of almost madness recently, mixing those magic potions, the reason is that on the edge of the lake in the valley, we found a piece of dragon's blood grass, although the leaves of those dragon's blood grass are not the dark purple of the legendary best dragon's blood grass, but the reddish-brown dragon's blood grass can also show that these magic herbs are only one step away from the best dragon's blood grass.Dragon's Blood is said to be able to refine a potion known as the power of powerful trolls, and it is said that warriors who take this magic potion have endless power as if they were possessed by trolls.Therefore, recently, Qige has been learning about the characteristics of these dragon's blood grasses.I returned to the team camp and handed over the magic herbs to Kige, who also looked up at me in surprise, and then said to me: "Take it to Takama and let her deal with it, before that, don't bother me, I will help you mix the falling snow ink before dinner, and inform the team, I need some time to experiment with the medicinal properties of these dragon's blood herbs for half a day this afternoon, you can come and help me later!"
”"Okay!"
An ominous premonition gripped me, and I agreed without hesitation, despite my bitter face.At this time, Qige, who had been burying her head on the table, slowly raised her head, a trace of an intriguing smile floated on her beautiful face, her eyes that were as clear as Weiyang Lake water flashed with a sparkling light, and the ruby in her throat under her neck shone brightly, she gently lifted the scattered green silk behind her ears, looked at me seriously, and said softly: "Fool!
”By this time, I had lifted the curtain of her tent, turned and walked out.
