The correct way to open the sprite

After hearing what Feng Yu said, Nicole said: "That's the food you cooked for me at that time."

"That's just the simplest thing. I will also cook delicacies that are a hundred times more delicious than those things. I am just afraid that it will have a bad influence in the camp."

Annie was very happy to see that Feng Yu could think about the camp and said: "Dear Darren, this actually has nothing to do with food. As long as you can find food, it's okay to make your own food. You are not a soldier, just follow the soldiers in the camp. It’s not good to eat.”

Feng Yu's eyes lit up, "Good guy, I'm afraid it would be shameful to eat small dishes, but you told me that eating from a big pot is shameless. That's fine. Tomorrow, I'll make some small stir-fries to satisfy my craving."

Nicole looked at Feng Yu's greedy look and pinched his nose.

“Darren, I’ve eaten your food, and it’s really delicious, but I also found that you like to put salt in everything you cook.

I don’t know if your world is short of salt, but here, salt is a very precious thing. When I went to the Elf Forest, I was only willing to take a little with me, but you ate all of it.

I have seen the table salt you brought. It has pure white particles and no peculiar smell. There is also table salt of that quality on the Green Continent, but even among the nobles, it is rare. "

"So if you eat sweets in the camp, it's not because you like sweets, but because there's no salt."

"Both. We elves and halflings are both races that are good at raising bees. After our two races lived together, our bee breeding and honey-making technology have been greatly improved.

Compared with salt, honey is cheaper. The key is that you don’t need to spend gold coins to buy it from goblins or other merchants.

In the past, when we were in the Elf Forest, there would be merchants who took the initiative to bring salt to us in exchange for the specialties of the Elf Forest, but now that we are here, it is difficult for us to get salt. "

"Wait a minute, you elves have no money." Feng Yu seemed to have heard a big joke.

"I know you are thinking about magic scrolls, but we elves will never sell magic scrolls to humans."

The elf has been living in the rich elf forest for tens of thousands of years, but he is still a poor man. This is something Feng Yu can't accept at all. He thought it was just that there was no precious metal left in this camp. You guys don't have any at all.

"Do you still remember the poem I composed by the sea?"

As soon as Feng Yu reminded her, Nicole thought of Feng Yu standing in the waist-deep water and shouting "Ocean, you are all water", and she couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Nicole's smiling face, Feng Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong"

"The wilderness where we are is exposed to intense sunlight, little rain, and hot winds blowing against our faces, and the sea is less than fifty miles away from our camp. Under such conditions, there is a lack of salt. Don't you think it's particularly ironic?"

"You're talking about the salt in the sea, Darren. You can't rely on the salt in the sea. You can't eat that kind of salt. If you eat too much, you will get sick, lose your teeth, and die miserably."

"Well, someone has eaten it."

Nicole nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, humans have tried to boil salt with bitter seawater and got a yellowish thing. Although it is a bit bitter, it is indeed very salty.

But it didn't take long for people who ate this salt to get sick one after another. They even asked the elves for help, but the elves' magicians could not cure the disease.

But as long as you don't eat that kind of salt, you'll be fine. Mild cases can get better on their own, but severe cases won't work and you can only wait for death. "

"How did they make salt from the sea?"

"Put it in a pot and boil it. A big pot of sea water can boil out a little salt."

Feng Yu asked: "It's all done."

"Yes"

"Isn't that seeking death? Salt brine cannot be eaten in large quantities."

Nicole blinked her big eyes and asked: "What kind of brine?"

Feng Yu said: "I can't explain a kind of chemical raw material, but as long as you separate it, you can get salt that is not bitter.

When I was a child, I lived not far from the seaside, and I saw artificial salt on the seaside.

I made a note of this. After finishing the crossbow and giving your grandfather an explanation, I will try to see if I can make some salt. "

Nicole said worriedly: "You have to promise me not to eat randomly."

Feng Yu: ""

"I'll find a mouse first and feed it twenty pounds to see the effect. Will this work?"

Nicole laughed heartily: "With twenty pounds of salt, the mouse would have died of salt."

Feng Yu: ""

Feng Yu originally wanted to help the elves build a large crossbow for use on a crude arrow tower with only a skeleton left, the kind that could blast the heads of ghosts eight hundred miles away. After all, something stupid, big, black and thick is better than a small one. Things are easy to make.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It was too powerful but not practical enough. The main threats facing the elf camp now were the halfling herdsmen grazing cattails at the mouth of the river and the native farmers who were opening up wasteland for farming in the wilderness.

These halflings, who have little fighting power compared to the elves and muscular dwarves who play with bows and arrows, are the food providers of the camp and the most indispensable agricultural workers.

The threats they faced were mainly beasts such as fishmen and steppenwolves. They had little armor and were not large herds of beasts. Most of them were small groups of three or five beasts or individual wandering beasts.

The large beast herds near the camp were wiped out by the elven archers, but it was this small wandering beast herd that posed a great threat to the halflings.

There are too few elven warriors to protect all the halflings, so strengthening the self-protection ability of the halflings is particularly important for this camp.

The crossbow does not need to be too complicated. Things such as safety bolts and hand guards are all removed. Most of the mechanisms are made of wood to enhance the strength of the bow arm. The penetrating power of the crossbow is ensured by stepping on the string, which also allows halflings to Very good to use.

It uses a dwarven musket-style trigger and a simple sight structure to ensure easy use. With casual practice, halflings who are not good at fighting can have considerable lethality.

This kind of crossbow is easy to make, and the crossbow arrows do not need to be forged arrows like the elven archers do. The arrows can be hammered into three-sided arrows with just a few hammers.

The wounds caused by arrows of this shape are difficult to heal. Even if a beast with a strong constitution is not killed on the spot, it will not be able to run very far and will bleed to death.

Under Feng Yu's command, the dwarf and the elf bowsmith worked together to use the stored materials for making bows and arrows to make the crossbow he designed in half a day.

Anthony and several elven archers watched the excitement from the side. After the crossbow was completed, the dwarf patriarch Dick looked at the familiar gun stock and the firing structure like the dwarf musket, and felt particularly friendly.

According to the method described by Feng Yu, this meaty guy easily strung the crossbow by stepping on the pedal ring, installed a ready-made crossbow arrow, and put it on his shoulder to pass through the same dwarf musket designed by Feng Yu. The machine sighting device is aimed at a target 20 meters away.
