my age of magic

Chapter 185 Chapter 185

It is too hot next to this row of large iron pans, and it won’t take long for us to sweat. We dare not stay here for too long. If we don’t replenish the salt water in time, it will easily cause dehydration. A group of people are in the distance from the oil pan Sit down and rest by the wooden table and wooden chair next to the oil depot a hundred meters away.

Here, a warehouse was temporarily built with wooden boards, and nearly [-] barrels of corpse kerosene were placed inside, and dozens of empty barrels were scattered outside the warehouse.

Dozens of gray dwarf slaves were sitting in the open space in front of the warehouse, each with a sharp file in their hands, and they were bit by bit breaking the sternum left by the swamp corpse king from both ribs to make a bone. If you want to use a bone shield, you only need to put a layer of corpse king skin on the bone shield. This kind of bone shield is light and strong.

"What kind of deal does the owner want to make with our brothers?" Kurz sat down and asked straight to the point. Seeing that Horsens kept his eyes on the oil barrels in the warehouse, he asked, "Do you want to exchange iron ingots for fire?" Oil? In addition to making fire bullets, isn’t this something that only magic pharmacists can use? Or, the host, you think the same as Jia, do you think Gludin’s orcs are willing to buy this kind of stove?”

At this time, Kurtz's maid, Asakusa, was carrying a set of cups and a beast girl, and brought over the oil stove outside my tent. The vertical oil stove, it seems that the orc girl carried it very easily. She put the oil stove in front of my feet, lifted the iron cover skillfully, unscrewed the regulating valve, and ignited the fire with flint. Finally, place the kettle on the stove polished like a lotus flower, and wait quietly for the water in the kettle to boil.

"Why not? This thing looks very convenient, and not all wasteland hunters like it, wasting a lot of time behind the one-horned buffalo, picking up dried cow dung for cooking. However, I would like to know the corpse fire The price of oil, if this kind of oil stove is as expensive as those luxury items shipped from the Grimm Empire, not many orcs can afford it!" Horsens carefully watched the flames burning on the stove , His eyes showed eager gazes.

I looked at the oil stove in front of me and said slowly: "Such a poorly made oil stove is worth about three silver coins. If it is made carefully, the cost will never be higher than five silver coins. I have tried to boil water with this kettle, and it can be boiled almost 150 times, which means..."

Before I finished speaking, Horsens repeatedly said in amazement: "Based on this calculation, if you only cook two meals a day on the wasteland, then an oil stove can be used continuously for two months after being filled with grease. The hunters have completed a hunt, but the first thing I know is, how many silver coins are you going to sell for this thing?"

"Ten silver!" Kurz and I looked at each other and said to Horsens at the same time.

"It's so cheap?" Horsens said solemnly.

No one knows what kind of chain reaction will be brought about when so much corpse oil enters the market of the orc tribe, but Kurz and I have planned to develop the convenient cooking utensils made of corpse oil in the direction of poverty from the very beginning, which is also The place where we have been arguing the most recently is whether to maximize the benefits, or to win word of mouth and let this convenient and quick oil stove enter the life of ordinary orcs.In the end, we set a price for ten silver bars.

Ten silverware is equivalent to half a month's wages for an adult orc, which is not a small sum of money, but for an orc hunter who walks into the wilderness alone, as long as he is lucky enough to hunt a magic antelope or Wind Wolf, the capital and everything have been recovered, even if you don't hunt these low-level monsters, you can meet a few rare magic herbs in the wasteland.

Speaking of it, our corpse fire oil is almost out of business. Hunting these swamp zombies is just something that the Raitu tribe has to do in order to survive.

So all along, why no orc tribes are willing to refine corpse oil?The main reason is that hunting swamp zombies is extremely risky. Many orc hunters are reluctant to set foot in the dead swamp because this is a very dangerous area. The undead creatures in it are very troublesome to hunt. Even some hunters Knowing the method of refining corpse kerosene, but in the end because there was no way to bring out the corpse kerosene, he finally gave up and just took away the magic core in the skull of the swamp zombie.

Not to mention the orc tribes on the edge of the swamp, ordinary orc warriors have no way to resist those ghost killer death scythes, if these tribal chiefs have the formula of corpse fire oil, if they are crazy and insist on the corpse fire oil, drive The orcs in the tribe went to hunt the swamp zombies in the swamp, which would bring disaster to the tribe.

This recipe was given to Qige by Elder Meyana, the orc wise man who walked on the wasteland and guided the displaced orcs how to survive. After discovering that Qige was a magician, he decisively sent the formula of corpse fire oil Giving it to Qige, I think Meyerna must think that Qige has the ability to hunt those swamp zombies. Maybe even if Qige can't deal with those swamp zombies, as a magician, she must have a group of powerful people behind her. Take on these swamp zombies.

Hunting the swamp zombies, even though Kurz and I were very well prepared at the beginning, we actually paid a considerable price, and this was with the help of Viru and Jambach, the Raitu beast in the tribe The female warriors gradually built up their confidence, and gradually figured out some ways to kill the swamp zombies.The most important thing is that we have the means to restrain the death scythe. Now, even if the female beast warriors encounter the death scythe, they won't have too much fear.

Those fears all stem from ignorance. After we killed sixty or seventy death scythes in a row, its mystery has been unveiled by us.

Therefore, for us, corpse fire oil is not a rare thing. Even if it is difficult to buy in the market now, we have no intention of doing a unique business with rare goods. The idea of ​​Kuz and I is to spread the market as much as possible. Well, this is also a measure to improve the quality of life of the orcs, just like the orcs already have the ability to make their own salt. These are all things that promote the progress of the orc tribe, and it is also a kind of corpse fire oil. Low-level strategic material, it is the main ingredient of fire bombs.

I smiled and said to Horsens: "Is the owner of Horsens interested in corpse fire oil?"

At this time, the kettle on the oil stove was making "sizzling" noises, a cloud of white water vapor gushed out from the spout, and the lid of the kettle was dancing happily. Horsens lifted the kettle from the oil stove behind him. He lifted it down, filled the wooden cups on the wooden table with his own hands, and said with a sigh: "No one dared to think that one day everyone would sit together and use the bodies of these ferocious beasts in the swamp. oil to boil water to make tea, but now it seems that all this has become a reality!"

Horsens said with emotion: "This is a good thing. Not all orcs like those raw meat jerky. This business is not difficult to do. To be honest, according to the price customized by your brother, this kind of oil stove is absolutely not worth it. Worrying about sales, is it a little late for me to say that I want to join in now?"

I looked up at Kurtz and motioned for him to speak.

Kurz was not hypocritical, and said directly: "If the owner wants to do this corpse oil business, it's fine. Jia and I's plan is that we only sell corpse oil. As for Jia, he will do this. The oil stove is just to find a new outlet for so much fire oil!"

Kurz pointed to the mountains of oil barrels in the warehouse, and explained: "After all, even if we make incendiary bombs, there is a certain limit. We can't expect to hang ourselves on this tree. Now we can be regarded as cooperation, Huo Sen The owner of Sri Lanka, you provide the oil furnace, and we provide the corpse fire oil. I don’t think it’s better like this. Let’s add two to one to make five. As for the first plan, this kind of oil stove that can hold seven liters of corpse fire oil is in charge of our Raitu tribe. Corpse fire oil, you are in charge of the oil stove, an oil stove filled with seven liters of corpse fire oil, we sell it for ten silver pieces, and we are responsible for the final brewing and sales."

What Kurtz said is actually just a big circle. The cost of a set of oil stove with exquisite workmanship is close to five silver coins. After such an oil stove is sold, we and Horsens will pay half a cent. It happened to be a five silver company, which is almost the same as Horsens selling the oil stove to us directly.

Horsens' face was a little ugly. In fact, it didn't matter whether the business was successful or not. If the business was not successful, there was righteousness, but if he was played for a fool, no one would feel comfortable.Now that Kurz has a big circle in front of Horsens, Horsens is very unhappy.

Horsens is a very cultivated orc. If he was an ordinary orc with a short temper, he would have turned around and left at this time, but he was still waiting for Kurtz's words.

"The second option is that you provide the oil stove, and we produce the corpse fire oil, but you need to be responsible for the sales and transportation among the orc tribes on the Pai Plateau. In this case, the cost of making the oil stove will be eliminated. In addition, the profit from our sale of oil stoves is divided between our two families."

After hearing the first half of what Kurtz said, Horsens' eyes were almost black, but after hearing the final profit distribution, Horsens stared at Kurtz with wide eyes, and asked hurriedly: "Really?"

"Would you like to listen to the third plan?" Even if Kurz spoke the orc language, his speaking speed was unhurried and his voice was very thick, but on this occasion, it seemed a bit irritating.

"Let's talk about it!" In fact, Horsens can basically decide on the second cooperation method with us, but he still wants to hear the third plan.

Kuz pursed his lips and smiled: "We'll sell your corpse oil directly, one silver and two liters!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"I did it!" Horsens said proudly, holding out his hand in the air.

Kurz quickly stood up and reached out to pat Horsens' palm, and the deal was considered finalized.

Horsens has been working hard for the past few days, and at this time he wandered around the village with us for a long time. When he was sitting at the door of the corpse fire oil warehouse, he already seemed physically exhausted. Now that he finished the deal, Horsens looked Although very tired, but in a good mood, I went back to the tent to rest after sitting for a while.

I sat in the chair and was filled with emotions for a while.

At this time, Kuz was still a little dizzy and couldn't wake up. He asked me with some incomprehension: "Jia, you said that it would be so easy for us to just sell his corpse for one silver and two liters at the beginning. How wonderful! Why do you have to go around such a big circle, and finally sell the corpse fire oil to him!"

I pursed my lips and smiled and said: "If we said at the beginning that we wanted to sell him corpse oil directly, I guess the old orc would have to bargain with us, and our corpse oil may not be able to sell for the price of one silver and two liters." , You went around with him like this, told him that we knew the profit in it, and then told us our price, this guy didn't even pay back the price, he just agreed!"
