my age of magic

Chapter 97
Finally, after a few days, the small saltwater pond welcomed its new owner.It was a group of hungry and slaughtered wilderness hyenas. The entire group of hyenas was probably less than a hundred. It was led by a hyena queen who was nearly twice the size of ordinary hyenas. She exuded strong poisonous gas all over her body. The black spots also glowed with green light. No matter where the cold and resentful eyes glanced, the hyenas there would be so frightened that they would pee and shit, and run away whimpering with their tails between their legs.

They came very suddenly. The one ran over from the north side of the Ulutu River in the morning mist on the eve of dawn. Almost every adult hyena was wounded. Although the blood was no longer there, the hideous wounds had not healed. signs.When Kuz yelled me from my deep sleep, those hyenas had already occupied the saltwater pond, and Kuz stared at the hyenas wandering outside our camp not far away and said to me: "Ji Jia, they are a group of defeated ones. Fleeing from the hyena camp, Liros led his white wolf clan werewolves to hunt a large number of bison there. The food for the hyenas was not enough. The powerful hyena tribe was expanding its territory, and the weak hyena group was about to forced to relocate."

"What are they trying to do?" Through the thin mist, I saw the hyenas in the distance whose fur was wet by the morning mist, and they were in a panic.

Kurz suppressed his agitation and said: "Maybe they want to drive us away, maybe they are looking at the food here, they don't seem to be in good condition, and they are very hungry. Their queen is a mutated female." Hyenas not only have extraordinary abilities, but also have rich combat experience, so they are very difficult to mess with."

"This queen seems to be in a bad mood?" After I finished speaking, I felt a special urge to leave here. There is nothing useful about the hyena. We left a few days ago, and I think it might not be too late to leave now.

So, just like this, we gave up this piece of grassland with a saltwater pond surrounded by silver-leaf grass to the group of hyenas, and on that morning, before the sun dispelled the fog, we quietly left there, Started our new journey.

...beautiful dividing line...

In the past few days, Qige and I have made a large number of defective scrolls, most of which are focused fire scrolls, and some frost scrolls are for Kurtz. He made some small bird traps to match these frost scrolls. Turned into a frost trap, this thing is not very harmful, but for a beast without any magic resistance, it is enough to frostbite its legs.

Kuz said to me happily: Even if you meet the wind wolf now, you will have the strength to fight.

Warcraft all have magic resistance, this kind of ice magic can't cause much damage to them, but it can slow down their movement speed for a certain period of time, which is very fatal to the wasteland wind wolf, Kurz I have been in a good mood these days. Even the group of hyenas invaded his territory. Under my persuasion, he actually chose to give in. This is very rare for him who is straightforward and wants to be the hunter king. The reason There are two:

One is that in the past few days when I kept making magic scrolls, Kurtz cooked a pot of salt using the method I gave him.After a long period of boiling, the halite aqueous solution, which was filtered out of impurities by cotton cloth and charcoal, finally formed snow-like salt crystals in the iron pot. Kurtz hugged me excitedly, shouted and jumped, and couldn't control himself with excitement.

It is not difficult to understand how meaningful this simple method of boiling salt is to the orcs.After learning this method, it means that you don’t need to buy those high-priced salt. There are such halite veins everywhere on the Pai Plateau. Even if you do this halite business, you will make a lot of money every day. It will promote the blood wolf clan to become the real overlord on the Pai Plateau.

The second is that the magic antelope and bison meat that Kuz has been hunting uninterruptedly over the past few days have been boiled into large pieces of spiced beef and mutton, and dried on the meat rack.It's a batch of deli jerky with plenty of salt, and I promise it won't go bad on a long trip.

But one night, Kuz squatted beside me boredly watching me draw a magic scroll. This time, the magic scroll failed again as expected. The magic ink containing violent energy exploded on the parchment scroll, turning the wood A corner of the test bench was blown up, and the wood residues splashed out happened to shoot into my eyes. If it weren't for my strong self-healing ability, I would have to be blind this time.This time not only scared Qige, but also made Kurz very angry. It was the first time I saw the honest little orc blushing at Qige.

This can't work!Looking at it will affect the harmony of the team, and I don't want to give up such a rare opportunity to experiment. The experiment of making magic scrolls like Qige is the accumulation of experience for her, so why not for me?Every time I fail, my super magic perception will faintly realize where the problem happened, which is very helpful for me to draw the magic pattern, so I don't want to stop.But Kurtz was very worried about me, and he held me alive and refused to let me do such an experiment.

So I racked my brains and came up with a way to take a piece of dry beef from the meat drying rack, put it on a flat piece of granite, and found a hammer in the suitcase to shake the piece of meat continuously. It was smashed to a pulp, so rotten that every fiber burst open, like a pile of light yellow cotton wool, and the smell of beef filled the air.

Kurz asked me curiously: "Jia, what is this? It smells so good!"

He put a little bit of it in his mouth with his fingers, and immediately looked at me with a very strange expression.

"What do you think? It's delicious, doesn't it melt in your mouth?" I asked him again and again, and when I saw him nodding his head in a hurry, I said to him proudly: "I named this thing, it's called meat floss. After the dried beef jerky is smashed like this, it is easier to carry. You see, we can find a square iron box, put all the meat floss in it, and then tamp it with a hammer, so that the square pieces are wrapped in oiled paper Well, it can be coded very neatly..."

So, in the following nights, a little orc could be seen every night, holding a hammer and smashing the beef on the meat drying rack.It can be seen that he likes this taste very much. I have never understood why the orcs in the wasteland like making raw meat jerky very much.It can be said that it is not immersive, it is difficult to have such a personal experience. It turns out that it is not because the orcs do not know that raw meat is not good, nor is it because they are lazy, but because it is difficult to find fire sources in the wasteland!

So I decided to make a small change to Kurtz.The orcs in the wilderness prefer to decompose the large prey they hunt on the spot. After obtaining the most useful leather and horns, they pick the best part of the fresh meat of the prey, cut it off and dry it into raw meat, and carry it with them as dry food. After camping every time, those who have the conditions will find some dry firewood or dried cow dung to boil a large pot of water, then pour the dark raw meat into it, add some collected wild vegetables, and cook a pot of dried meat Wild vegetable soup.

Isn't this the housekeeping skill that Uncle Anlu, the fat cook in the caravan, is good at?It's just that I have a deep understanding of the taste. To be honest, the three words "unpalatable" can never express the taste clearly.

In the wilderness, almost every year at the end of the spring hunting, a large number of hunters began to touch the edge of the magic antelope herd and obtained a large amount of magic antelope skins. Within a few months, merchants from different regions will buy these magical parchments. Almost all hunters will focus on the magic antelope skin and horns. The fresh meat and bones of the magic antelope will only be discarded in the wilderness. Let the beasts on the wasteland eat it up.There is no time to peel the magic antelope skin, who cares about that little piece of meat that is worthless?
What about when the number of magic antelopes over [-] is abandoned in the wilderness?This piece is definitely a big piece of cake for the orcs who are now on the edge of poverty in the wasteland, delicious meat!Just let those poor orcs in the wilderness turn the antelope meat into that kind of black raw meat and bring it back to the tribe?Even the orcs wouldn't like to eat this kind of food. Apart from keeping it as a physical reserve, it has no other value!

All right!Meat floss, this thing is what I can think of.Without taking up any other resources, these things can be exchanged for food, cloth, gold and silverware, etc., which come to the human empire in large quantities.Human merchants would definitely dismiss the abandoned wild antelope meat as raw jerky, but it melts in the mouth and can be eaten with bread and butter, or thrown into a soup pot to make a pot of thick soup. There is definitely a market for this stuff.

From vermicelli, salt to the current meat floss, these are the three commodities that I can think of that will be most helpful to Kurz, but the salt is only to meet domestic demand, and it is absolutely impossible for that businessman to travel all the way. Let's traffic salt back on the Pai Plateau!I think the upright little orc Kurtz may not be able to think of this now. He smashed cooked beef jerky and made meat floss just to satisfy his own appetite, and I begged him to make as much meat as possible. It is made into meat floss, which is more convenient to carry.

I never thought about making magic scrolls unintentionally. It would be so important. In the future, whether cooking salt or antelope meat in the wilderness, you will probably be inseparable from these cheap magic scrolls, although these scrolls are in the auction house. The auction got a high price, but there is no doubt that these scrolls are really not much higher than a silver coin for me, it is made of a silver coin!
