My Magic Age

Finally, a few days later, this small saltwater pond welcomed its new owner. It was a group of hungry and killing wilderness hyenas. The entire hyena group probably numbered less than a hundred. They were led by a hyena queen who was nearly twice the size of ordinary hyenas. She exuded a strong poisonous gas, and even the hair on her back was The black spots were also glowing with green light. No matter where the cold and resentful gaze glanced, the hyenas there would be so frightened that they would urinate and pee, and run away with their tails between their legs and whimpering softly.

They came very suddenly. The one ran over from the Ulutu River in the north in the morning mist on the eve of dawn. Almost every adult hyena had wounds on his body. Although there was no bleeding, the ferocious wounds had not healed. signs. When Kuz woke me up from my sleep, the hyenas had already occupied the saltwater pond. Kuz stared at the hyenas wandering outside our camp not far away and said to me: "Jijia, they are a group of defeated people. from hyena camp Escaped from the other side of the land, Liros and his werewolves of the White Wolf Tribe hunted a large number of buffalo there. The hyenas did not have enough food. The powerful hyena tribe was expanding its territory, and the weak hyena group would be forced to Migration.”

"What do they want to do?" Through the thin mist, I saw the hyenas in the distance whose fur was wetted by the morning mist and looked miserable.

Kurtz suppressed his restless emotions and said: "Maybe they want to drive us away, maybe they are interested in the food here. They don't seem to be in good condition and are very hungry. Their queen is a mutated female Hyenas not only have extraordinary abilities, but also have rich fighting experience and are very difficult to mess with.”

"This queen seems to be in a bad mood?" After I said this, I had a special urge to leave here. There is no part of the hyena that is useful. If it hadn't been obsessed with drawing scrolls these days, it would have been a few days. We left before now, and I think it might not be too late to leave now.

So, we gave this group of hyenas this piece of grassland with a saltwater pond and surrounded by silver-leaf grass. On that morning, before the sun had dispersed the fog, we quietly left there. Our new journey has begun.

...beautiful dividing line...

In the past few days, Qige and I have made a large number of defective scrolls. Most of them are fire-gathering scrolls. Some frost scrolls are for Kuz. He made some small bird-catching clips 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 the legs.

Kuz said to me happily: Now even if he meets Wind Wolf, he will be able to fight.

Warcraft all have magic resistance. Such ice magic cannot cause much damage to them, but it can slow down their movement speed for a certain period of time. This is very fatal to the Wasteland Wind Wolf, Kurtz I have been in a good mood these days. Even when the group of hyenas invaded his territory, he actually chose to give in after my persuasion. This is very rare for him who has an upright personality and wants to be the hunter king. The reason There are two:

First, during the few days when I kept making magic scrolls, Kuz cooked a pot of salt using the method I gave him. After a long period of boiling, the rock salt solution, which had been filtered out of impurities by cotton cloth and charcoal, finally formed into snow-like salt crystals in the iron pot. Kuz hugged me excitedly and screamed and jumped, unable to control himself with excitement.

It is not difficult to understand how much this simple method of boiling salt means to the orcs. After learning this method, you don’t have 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. This extremely simple method of boiling salt will It will promote the blood wolf clan to become the real overlord on the Pai Plateau.

Secondly, the devil antelope and bison meat that Kuz had returned from hunting these days were boiled into large pieces of spiced beef and mutton, and dried on the meat rack to become dried meat. This is a batch of cooked jerky with plenty of salt, and I guarantee it won't go bad on the long trip.

But one night, Kurtz squatted beside me boredly and watched me draw a magic scroll. This time, the magic scroll failed again as expected. The magic ink containing violent energy exploded on the parchment roll, and even the wooden A corner of the test bench was blown up, and pieces of wood flew out and hit my eyes. If it weren't for my strong self-healing ability, I would have lost one eye this time. This time not only frightened Qige, but also made Kuz very angry. For the first time, I saw the honest little orc blushing towards Qige.

This won't work! If it continues to affect the harmony of the team, I don’t want to give up such a rare experimental opportunity. Qige’s magic scroll making experiment is an accumulation of experience for her, so why not me? Every time I failed, my super magic perception would vaguely realize where the problem occurred, which was of great help to me in drawing magic patterns, so I didn't want to stop. But Kurtz was very worried about me and kept dragging me to death to prevent me from doing such an experiment.

So I racked my brains and came up with a way. I took off a piece of thoroughly dried beef from the meat drying rack and placed it on a flat piece of granite. I found a hammer in the suitcase and kept hammering the piece of meat. It was smashed to pieces, so rotten that every fiber burst open, like a pile of light yellow cotton wool, and the aroma of beef filled the air.

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

He picked up a little bit with his finger and put it in his mouth. He immediately looked at me with a very strange expression.

"How do you feel? It's delicious, right? Does it melt in your mouth?" I asked him repeatedly. Seeing him nodding his head, I said to him proudly, "I named this thing meat floss. After the dried beef jerky is smashed into this shape, it is easier to carry. You see, we can find a square iron box, put all the meat floss in it, and then use a hammer to compact it. In this way, the square pieces can be wrapped with oil paper and arranged very neatly..."

So, in the following nights, every night you can see a little orc, taking the 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 to make raw meat jerky so much. It is said that it is difficult to have such a personal experience without being there. It turns out that it is not that the orcs don't know that raw meat is not delicious, nor is it because they are lazy, but it is difficult to find a fire source in the wasteland!

So I decided to make a little change to Kuz. The orcs in the wilderness prefer to disassemble the large prey they hunt on the spot. After getting the most useful leather and horns, they pick the best fresh meat from the prey, cut it off and dry it into raw meat jerky, and carry it with them as dry food. After each camping, if conditions permit, they will find some dry firewood or dry cow dung to boil a large pot of water, then pour the black raw meat jerky into it, add some collected wild vegetables, and cook it into a pot of meat jerky and wild vegetable soup.

Isn't this the specialty of the fat cook Uncle Anlu in the caravan? But I have a deep understanding of how it tastes. To be honest, the taste cannot be described clearly by the three words "very unpalatable".

In the wilderness, almost every spring hunting season, a large number of hunters begin to touch the edge of the magic antelope herd and obtain a large number of magic antelope skins. This is the biggest harvest of the wilderness hunters in a year. In the following months, merchants from different regions will purchase these magic parchments. Almost all hunters will focus on the magic antelope skins and horns. The fresh meat and bones of the magic antelope will be abandoned in the wilderness and eaten by the wild beasts in the wilderness. There is no time to peel the magic antelope skin, who will care about that little bit of meat that has no value at all?

When more than 10,000 magic antelopes are abandoned in the wilderness? This piece is definitely a big cake and delicious meat for the orcs who are now trapped in poverty in the wilderness! Just let those poor orcs in the wilderness make this antelope meat into that kind of black raw jerky and take it back to the tribe? Even the orcs don’t like to eat this kind of thing. It has no other value except for keeping it for their own physical reserves!

Okay! Meat floss, this is what I can think of. Without occupying any other resources, these things can be exchanged for food, cloth, gold and silver utensils, and other large quantities of "camel goods" from the human empire. The abandoned demon antelope meat in the wilderness is made into raw jerky, which human merchants will definitely disdain, but it can be made into these melt-in-the-mouth products, which can be eaten with bread and butter, or thrown into a soup pot to make a pot of thick soup. This thing definitely has a market.

From vermicelli, salt to the current meat floss, these are the three commodities that I can think of that will be most helpful to Kuz. However, salt only meets domestic demand, and the merchant will definitely not be able to transport salt back from the Pai Plateau! I think the honest little orc Kuz may not think of these now. He is working so hard to beat the cooked beef jerky and make meat floss just to satisfy his appetite, and I asked him to make as much of these jerky into meat floss as possible, which is more convenient to carry.

I never thought that the magic scrolls I made accidentally would be so crucial. In the future, whether I am cooking salt or antelope meat in the wilderness, I will probably need these cheap magic scrolls. Although these scrolls are sold at high prices in the auction, there is no doubt that these scrolls are not much more valuable to me than a silver coin. They are made of a silver coin!
