my age of magic

Chapter 160. 160. Four Lines of Totems
In such an afternoon, when the warm sunshine came down, Qige put a shade over her eyebrows with her hands, and looked towards Kurtz.Then he said with some puzzlement: "What are they talking about endlessly? Don't you just want to exchange these armors and weapons for that piece of Gobi? It's so annoying to grind there, or we will go there Sit in the shop for a while, and let Azi talk to these old men here, it's all his family's business anyway."

Qige pointed to a restaurant not far away. On the outside of the ring road around the central square, there are many shops that look very luxurious. A small two-story attic with brick and stone structure is not far from the parliament hall. A hundred meters away, it is built facing the street.A beer mug and a grilled lamb chop are painted on the cover in front of its door. Although the lines are very simple, the artist's skills are very deep, so that people can recognize these two things at a glance, and then it is not difficult to guess which one. It's a restaurant.

I was a little hesitant. I looked at the fine salt under my buttocks. These salts were exchanged for money. If I didn't guard them here, throwing a bag would not be worth the loss!This time we are going to hunt those swamp zombies at the edge of the swamp. The road ahead is bleak. Kurz and I don’t know what kind of strength those zombies are. With some understanding, we are like ponies crossing the river at this time. If we don’t try it, how will we know the depth.

"Okay, okay! We'll be waiting for him for a while, Katerina, go and buy us some apple juice!" Qige flicked the handkerchief impatiently.

Katerina is timid, I am worried that she will be molested by those savage orc werewolves when she goes to this orc tavern, after all, such a charming red-haired beauty is very conspicuous on the street.So he said: "How about I go! You wait here."

"Then I'll go too!" Qige jumped off the salt bag with a smug smile.

I sighed with a sullen face and said, "Forget it, let's go together!"

Of course, it is necessary to say hello to Kurz before leaving, otherwise, when this guy turns around and finds that we are all gone, leaving him alone to eat, he will be depressed and lose his temper alone. Okay, but I'm just greedy, let's enjoy the food, how can we do without him.I walked over quietly and pulled his clean leather armor beside him. The surrounding area was very noisy, and the members of the Presbyterian Church were still chattering about Kurt and the gray dwarves. The discovery of gray dwarves on the outskirts of Rudin Town is a big event for the Gludin Council.

Kurz was dizzy when asked by the liger elder, joking, how do we know where these dwarves come from?
I was worried that Kurtz couldn't hear me clearly, so I said loudly to him: "We are going to have a little lunch in the restaurant over there, don't wait for you, you have to pay attention to our salt, here When we come back, I will bring you something to eat!"

The next moment, everyone stopped arguing, as if the whole world was quiet.A tiger tooth bracelet slipped off someone's wrist and fell on the bluestone board, making a series of crisp sounds, which I heard so clearly.The word "salt" in my mouth seemed to have been magnified countless times, like a heavy hammer hitting the chests of these congressmen repeatedly.

All this seemed to be frozen, when the sharp dagger of the werewolf guard pierced the burlap bag containing salt again, and saw the snow-white fine salt dripping out of the bag like sand, sprinkled on the blue flagstone floor.I'll give you a lung!How difficult it is for these salt bags to come, who can know?In order to be able to transport the fine salt, the orc girls of the Raitu tribe stayed up for several nights and sewed the sackcloth shirts in the dwarven chain armor into sacks, which were almost invisible.

Seeing the snow-white fine salt flowing all over the ground, the werewolf guard didn't expect that the salt inside would flow out like sand, so he quickly blocked the opening with his hands, but fine salt still flowed out from between his fingers.Kut strode forward with a few strides, kicked the werewolf guard away fiercely, looked at the fine salt scattered on the ground with a frown, and yelled, "Go get the salt box!"

Kurt put his hand on the opening of the sack and took a handful of salt, dipped a little bit on his lips and licked it. It was very salty and had no peculiar smell. The members of the Presbyterian Council stared at Kurt nervously, watching Kurt nodded with a serious expression.All of a sudden, there were all kinds of expressions on his face, and the expressions were wonderful.

"Did you make all of these in Qinghai Lake?" Kurt asked Kurtz seriously.

Kurz was a little dazed, then nodded and said yes.Those snow-white fine salts are shining brightly in the sun, as if they are showing off their extraordinaryness.At this time, a werewolf elder beside Kurt also came over, laughed and said: "I have never seen such good fine salt in the hands of a human merchant, your old seventh is very capable!" , This is really a hero born out of a boy. To be able to get back so much good salt from Qinghai Lake without making a sound."

The members of the Presbyterian Church all around gathered around curiously. The salt in all commercial shops in Gluding Town has almost run out of salt recently. Everyone’s daily food is almost fading away, and their eyes are shining when they look at the fine white salt. Jingguang, everyone has their own thoughts, after all, this is a big thing.

This means that at any time in the future, it is no longer necessary to look at the faces of the salt merchants of the human race and the dwarf race.This can be regarded as the real ability of the orc tribe to make salt by itself.The habit of nearly a thousand years made the councilors of the Gludin Presbyterian Church feel vigilant, so someone in the crowd asked again: "These salts are all brought back from the Qinghai Lake on the other side of the Gobi cursed by evil spirits." ?”

"Yes!" Kurtz replied honestly.

"Didn't everyone say that the salt lake there is poisonous?" A member of parliament asked Kurt, rubbing the fine salt with his hand.

The congressmen who had been close together dispersed again, as if they were hiding from the plague, for fear that the poison would infect themselves.Most of these people are orcs with rich clothes and aristocratic status. They have their own tribes and territories in the western wilderness.

Staying by Kurt's side were a few wise orcs, and one even squeezed a small handful of fine salt, looked up at Kurtz with wise eyes, and asked calmly, "Even if those wild buffaloes drink The salt water in Qinghai Lake will also be poisoned to death. Are you sure the salt does not contain the poison that would kill people if eaten?"

Kurz nodded firmly, and amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the orc wise man swallowed the small pinch of fine salt directly. He covered his neck with one hand, and made a strange cooing sound from his throat. His face turned red and greeted the guards beside him, but he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing the pained look of the orc wise man, a werewolf nobleman with a stomach full stood up, pointed at Kurz's nose and said sarcastically: "Hmph! You young people are so self-righteous, you really think you are the savior of the world! In the thousands of years of inheritance, none of the sages dared to eat the salt in Qinghai Lake, because it was cursed by the devil there, it is a cursed land, the salt water there can poison a strong cow, you...you You are so courageous, you dared to bring salt back there, and blatantly sent it to the Presbyterian Church, you are so courageous!"

"If you kill the wise Imsh this time, you will be sent to the gallows!" Another werewolf nobleman approached and said to Kurtz, who was scared by Kurt's sharp eyes and hid in the crowd again.

Kuz blushed, panicked, and stuttered: "I...I..."

I looked aside and saw that the Imsh wise man didn't seem to be poisoned, and then I wondered if the old orc had eaten too much salt just now, so I took off the water bag on Kurtz's waist, ran up two steps, and handed it to him obediently. Imsh wise man, this orc wise man was obviously overwhelmed by the salt. He grabbed the kettle and poured clear water down his throat. Then he took a breath and said, "This salt is so salty!"

Seeing that the wise man of Imsh had salt in his throat and was fine after taking a sip of clear water, the fat werewolf councilor who came out of the crowd was unavoidably embarrassed. Standing alone on the field, the werewolf aristocrats who had just cheered for him had retreated into the crowd in desperation, but who cares about him at this time.

Salt, used to be a big trouble for the orc tribe, a big problem, but now when someone stands up and says: I can get more salt than I can eat!

This is a very big cake, so big that if one person eats it, he will be drowned in the saliva of a hungry person. Even if Kuz's family has been in charge of the blood wolf clan for decades, even if Kule Lord Paulus Shaman is also the spiritual leader of the entire orc werewolf, so it is impossible for Kurtz to be the only one responsible for making salt.

The power of the orc tribe on the Paya Plateau is very scattered. Only the orc wolf tribe is divided into several major forces. The Silver Moon Wolf Clan, once known as the werewolf royal family, guards the White Wolf Clan at the southernmost tip of the Pai Plateau, up to Mir. (also known as the Frostwolf Clan), the Blood Wolf Clan guarding the Gludin Fortress in the western wilderness of the Pai Plateau, the Gray Claw Wolf Clan living a nomadic life in the wasteland, and the War Wolf Clan guarding the sacred snow-capped mountains, these are just The power of the werewolf clan in the orc tribe, and other orc powers, such as the centaur clan, tauren clan, liger clan, ogre clan and so on.If the issue of salt caused internal strife within the Blood Wolf Clan from the very beginning, and even caused disputes and long-cherished wishes, then one day the Blood Wolf Clan would not be able to keep the formula for making salt. I thought about taking it all by myself. When Kurt and the other two elders of the Presbyterian Church found us, Kuz and Qige, I made it clear that the salt-making technique belonged to the Presbyterian Council of Gluding Town and belonged to the Blood Wolf Clan. of.We just want to get a little share of the salt-making job, just such a small request.And Kurt and two other high-ranking elders have agreed to our request.

When the snow-white fine salt really appeared before the eyes of the elders, the fine salt like white sand was several times better than the coarse salt that those merchants brought in from the Grimm Empire or the Dwarf Kingdom thousands of miles away. Coarse salt contains grit, impurities, and even bitterness. When the orcs eat salt, they usually have to dissolve it with water before eating it.There is a huge difference between the two. These old orc elder councilors who can stand firm in the Presbyterian Church each have a big tribe to rely on behind them. After so many years of experience in the Presbyterian Council, the pores of their pores are already hollow, so Seeing the crystal-clear fine salt like white sand, all the councilors gathered around it. At this time, they began to ask about the details of the salt-making technique.

So, we need a reason again to explain why we have the salt-making technique. Kuz and I looked at each other tacitly, and at the same time, our eyes fell on Qige...

Well, when a child and a good-natured-looking young orc both pointed at an apprentice wizard and said: She told us!At this time, Miss Qi's eyes widened, no matter how innocently she blinked, it was useless.So this salt-making technique was described by Kuz and me as the secret technique of salt-making in the Kingdom of Aitia.And Miss Qi is a magic apprentice in the Green Royal Junior Magic Academy, and also a genius magic pharmacist.

After discussing for a long time, the good-natured Elders of the Presbyterian Church in Gludin Town decided to give some rewards to the magic apprentice Qige. After all, he helped the orc tribe solve a life problem that has plagued the tribe for hundreds of years. High-level magic medicinal materials, high-level magic metals, magic crystals, and epic weapons are not an exaggeration.

"Son, what do you want? I will do my best to compensate you for what you have done for our orc tribe!" The liger elder beside Kurt asked such a question again.

Qige stood beside Kurtz, with her hands behind her back, she looked extremely cute. When she smiled, her eyes were like crescent moons, which made everyone feel her cuteness. Her big eyes rolled around, Then, under the gaze of everyone, their 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 woven into a beautiful bow, and a tiger-eye stone drum the size of an adult's fist was tied to the rope.I secretly complained in my heart, I was too flamboyant in the morning, 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 heavy on the waist, But then I sat on Yagui Beast's back, and I didn't have any obvious feeling, and I forgot to put it in the bag for a while.

At this time, a group of orc elders from the Presbyterian Church looked at it together, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered. This stone drum can only be owned by a junior shaman and witch doctor. If I hang this up, it will be cruel!Really don't offend women, I was thinking so sadly at this moment, but I didn't expect Qige to say: "Then give me two more stone drums, this jewelry is so beautifully made, I like its carving process very much !"

The three of me, Kuz, and the liger elder with two-color pupils were petrified instantly!

Few people make such a request, mainly because the orcs who need it will naturally have it, and it is useless for those who don't need it.This item, which looks like an ornament or a small ornament, is actually the simplest totem of an orc shaman.Only orc shamans with magical powers are eligible to use it, but all orcs who become shamans have the opportunity to pick a stone drum of any attribute in the warehouse of the elders. The differences between them are: Each stone drum contains a primary spell, as long as mana is poured into the stone drum, the magic pattern circle in the stone drum can be activated, and the magic skills can be activated.

These magic skills are roughly divided into four types: 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 magic elements. The early orc shaman will choose a certain series of magic element affinity to improve, so Generally, in the early stage, a shaman only needs a stone drum totem.

This kind of stone drum totem consumes very little mana. After reaching a high level, shamans will choose more advanced stone pillar totems. At this time, the stone drum totems on those shamans are useless, and many shamans will use them The Stone Drum Totem that was not found was returned to the Council of Elders.

Now I am holding three other stone drums carved with different runes. These three stone drums are all carefully selected by the liger elder from the warehouse. The carvings are extremely exquisite and the materials are slightly precious. stone drum.The three stone drums are engraved with different types of magic patterns. The glyphs on each stone drum are different from the mysterious fire magic pattern on the stone drum on my body. The drum is engraved with folded wave magic patterns, the crystal clear moonstone drum is engraved with light and unpredictable wind magic patterns, and the verdant turquoise drum is engraved with the endless stretches of the northern foot of the Pai Plateau. The mountains, this majestic picture is condensed into a small stone drum.Qige looked at me with a smile, then tied the other three stone drums one by one with hemp rope, and hung them all around my waist.Four heavy stone drums almost broke my leather belt.I asked Qige with my eyes, but she winked at me secretly, as if to say: Don't worry, there must be benefits for you!
