Wolf King

"Of course, it's my clan's honor." Xiao Yun laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

Before the greedy green dragon opened his mouth, Xiao Yun preemptively said: "However, we have to wait until next year's harvest. I heard that the inheritance of the dragon clan is comprehensive and powerful. As a noble green dragon lord, you must know that our food is obtained through farming. What you get, sow in spring and harvest in autumn, this year we only sow enough for the consumption of our people. Next year, our family will cultivate a lot to meet your needs, let alone a year, every year from now on we will Prepare food for next year for you."

The green dragon's mouth is half open... If you make him wait another year, he will definitely not do it. He doesn't care what the hell is farming!But Xiao Yun immediately said that he will provide food every year in the future, is this really flattering?

"That's fine." The green dragon raised his chin proudly, suppressing his pride.

"I knew that the knowledge inherited by the Dragon Clan is much better than that of the Tauren. You Dragon Clan must know a lot about farming? To tell you the truth, our Snow Werewolves have just learned farming from the Tauren. This is the first time we have tried it. Many places are not doing well." Xiao Yun smiled very modestly, "Since you, as the honorable Lord of the Green Dragon, are willing to accept the ingredients we offer, doesn't it mean that my family's farming techniques are not bad? Makes me feel honored.”

"Hmph." The green dragon's chin was almost raised to the sky. He didn't know what farming was, but there is no dragon who doesn't like being flattered!

"Since this is the case, our family must hurry up and prepare for next year's farming, strive to grow the best ingredients for your lord, and do our best to satisfy you..." Xiao Yun put on a flattering face, "Can I I would like to ask your lord to release those gray dwarves as soon as possible? The iron tools made by these gray dwarves can allow our family to grow food for you better..."

"No problem." The Green Dragon waved his hand, "But don't forget my jewelry, ingredients are important, and jewelry is equally important."

"Of course, this is of course." Xiao Yun smiled again, "Then, in order not to waste time, the warriors of our clan will go with you to bring back the gray dwarves? Lest they take the opportunity to be lazy on the way home." , it would be better to start casting as soon as possible."

"Okay." The green dragon looked at Xiao Yun's eyes, not to mention how satisfied, alas, it's a pity that this cub is a snow werewolf, if he was from another tribe, he would be taken back as a slave... It's really annoying for the snow werewolf to go crazy!

Xiao Yun immediately turned his head to look at the stunned fighters, his eyes on Hongye and Yu were especially hot.

Hongye & Yu: "..."

Both of them nodded silently at the same time, with extremely firm expressions—don't worry, Ayun!We will definitely remember the location of this green dragon's lair!

The green dragon, who even ate, took and enjoyed a rainbow fart, soared into the air happily, leading a group of snow werewolf warriors straight to his lair.The northern forest is not small, and the dragon's lair will be protected by a magic circle, so it's not so easy to find without a guide.

Xiao Yun watched the big lizard fly away with an indifferent face, and slowly raised his middle finger to send him off warmly...

The two patriarchs who were eavesdropping in the next room did not come out until the green dragon flew away. Both of them had solemn expressions. Huo Yan may be slow, but his IQ can still rise when encountering major events that endanger the tribe. They worriedly said: "Ayun , is this really feasible?"

"Is it feasible? There is no better way." Xiao Yun sighed lightly, "Killing can't be killed, and if you release it, you are afraid that this thing will take revenge, so you will come to make trouble if you have nothing to do. The most important thing is that the gray dwarves have to come back. ...Whether it's worship or flattery, you can talk about other things only after you have stabilized yourself."

The grassroots patriarch shook his head: "I'm afraid that the green dragon's greed will not be so easy to satisfy... just provide food for one green dragon. If other green dragons also come to find it, how can we afford it?"

"I'm not very worried about this. The green dragon is so greedy, so willing to share our good exploitation resources with others?" Xiao Yun sneered, "As for this green dragon, it will definitely expand if you give him benefits... You have to think about it. There is a way to let him know that our snow werewolves are not so easy to take advantage of."

The two patriarchs looked at each other in blank dismay, and then turned their attention to Xiao Yun. It seemed that Ah Yun still had a way... At present, they could only trust Ah Yun.If it were them, they really didn't know what to do except fight the green dragon and lose both.

The soldiers brought back more than forty gray dwarves overnight, along with jewelry patterns, molds, a box of jewelry and dozens of kilograms of gold and silver ingots packed and thrown by the green dragon. The traces of the claws... It is obvious that the guy is not only greedy, but also very petty, and the precious metals used to make jewelry leave their own breath, which is also drunk.

Originally, Xiao Yun planned to let the gray dwarves live together near the iron mine, but now he believed in the evil of the green dragon and had to give up his plan to let the gray dwarves be "independent" - the gray dwarves probably didn't have the guts to be scared once. Living so far away from the Snow Werewolf, if something happens, you have to run a hundred and eighty kilometers to ask for help.

The three collective bedrooms are assigned to the gray dwarves, and an "industrial area" is set aside for the gray dwarves far away from the living area. Before the earth is frozen, build a coke-burning kiln and iron-making furnace in a hurry. Blast furnace and blacksmith workshop.

Xiao Yun is indeed a technical geek, but he really doesn't know anything about iron making technology... But his series of troubles before were not in vain, if it weren't for the cement, cement bricks, and sealed pottery pipes he made with the Snow Werewolf. , coking kilns and blast furnaces for ironmaking are not so easy to get out.

The more than 40 gray dwarves who had only rested for one day had no time to be touched and finally saw the sun again, so they invested in the busy construction of the industrial area... They already knew from Shire and Elba that they could regain their freedom because of the snow werewolves and the green dragon. A deal was made, and the greed of the Dragon Clan is known to all races. They couldn't imagine how much the Snow Werewolves had paid—it was meaningless to thank them, and they had no other way to express their gratitude except for working hard.

——Exchanging the loyalty of the gray dwarves with the shameless green dragon, Xiao Yun felt complicated just thinking about it.

The coking kiln is ignited and fired. In the absence of ready-made equipment, the relatively primitive coking kiln has no way to obtain additional products in the coking process, but anyway, what is needed at present is only coke for ironmaking, and other processes can be developed in the future. Get on the horse when the conditions are met.

The gray dwarves have their own smelting technology inheritance, and the difficult conditions will not prevent them from smelting iron. During the firing of the coking kiln (the original earthen kiln takes a long time to make coking, about ten days), they will use the existing building materials to build Building a vertical blast furnace for ironmaking—this is really a technical job, and Xiao Yun doesn't know it at all anyway...

Hmm... In fact, if you just want to separate iron from iron ore, it is very easy. Dig a hole in the soil, cover it with stones and yellow mud to make a ground furnace with a bag shape and a narrow top opening (similar to a bread oven) , the lower part of the ground furnace leaves a vent, burns charcoal in the ground furnace, puts in iron ore, when the temperature rises to about [-] degrees, the iron oxide in the iron ore is reduced to iron, after cooling, take out the iron block, and then put this The iron ore with a lot of impurities is put into a furnace that burns hot (burning coal and charcoal is fine), burns red, clamps it out with wooden sticks to quench, and repeatedly forges to remove the oxides mixed in the iron block. Iron with mechanical properties - this is how the blacksmiths in the TV series forge iron objects. The gray dwarves use this time-consuming and laborious method to forge iron objects when the conditions are so primitive that they cannot even smelt coal into coke.

Now with the protection of the Snow Werewolf and sufficient raw materials to use to a certain extent, the gray dwarves are naturally willing to improve the smelting process a little bit—how does Xiao Yun think the vertical blast furnace built with cement, cement bricks and pottery pipes is primitive? , but the gray dwarves are very satisfied...

"This blast furnace can burn many times before it collapses!" Balu, the leader of the gray dwarves, said to Xiao Yun with such a happy face.

Xiao Yun: "..."

Hmm... The height of this rough consumable blast furnace body is about three meters. The throat at the top is made of cement paste. The hopper and furnace gas pipes are replaced by pottery and pottery pipes that get through the bottom. There are no refractory bricks covering the body, just cement. Bricks, furnace body brackets, are the tribes using those scrapped merchant ship weapons to process and use them for waste, and the tuyere and hot air pipes are also replaced with pottery pipes-although it looks like that, but how do you look at it? Why is it wrong? Anyway, Xiao Yun thinks that calling this thing a blast furnace is a bit too much, and calling it a shaft furnace is barely acceptable.

The shaft furnace is covered, and the coking kiln that has been emitting black smoke for several days can also come out of the kiln. Water is injected from the ignition hole on the side wall of the kiln to quench the coke, and the gray-black coke is pulled out. The iron ore and limestone brought back by the snow werewolves as coolies were put into the furnace and boiled.

When Xiao Yun mingled with the gray dwarves in charge of the smelting of the shaft furnace, he suddenly remembered the role of coke as a fertilizer—coke reacted with water vapor and air to make semi-water gas, and then hydrogen and nitrogen in the air Combined to generate ammonia, then it is ammonia fertilizer~~ It seems that the technology of generating ammonia appeared during World War I, and it was originally made of explosives?

Hmm... During the war, the chemical fertilizer factory was transformed into an explosives factory. Common fertilizer processing can be used as explosives, so Xiao Yun still has the common sense. He didn't expect to sweep the world with some industrial technology trees. One is that he is not a science major. Second, even if he has a golden finger to point the industrial technology tree to the era of breech-loading guns, it is useless to deal with green dragons, elves, tigers, and so on-they are good at magic!He didn't think he could see mushroom eggs in his lifetime—but it's always a good thing to be able to create a fertilizer industry. Even the green dragon reached out and asked him for ingredients. Obviously, the hardest currency in the world is food~!

With the mentality of experimenting, Xiao Yun asked the gray dwarf Balu whether their gray dwarf had the technology to obtain some kind of extract from coke that could make plants grow better, and what he replied was Balu's pure blank face... good!

Regrettably, he suppressed this thought firmly, Xiao Yun continued to pull Balu and asked them if they had seen phosphorite...

"Are you referring to the kind of ore that looks a bit like coal and glows green when it burns?" Baloo thought for a while before asking.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Yun was so excited at first, and didn't expect Balu to really know, so he became excited immediately.

"I have seen that this kind of ore is used by dark elves to dye cloth, and they don't use it much...By the way, didn't you pick up quartz stone near the lair where the goblins used to live? Quartz stone is often associated with the phosphate rock you mentioned Ah." Baloo said.

Xiao Yun didn't bring it up in one breath, and almost pouted over it—Nima!

Feelings Last year, he walked on top of the phosphate mine hidden in the ground... Then why did he go crazy picking up bones all this year!

He took out the cloth roll on his belt and recorded the phosphate rock. After calming down, Xiao Yun once again discovered a very practical problem... Phosphate fertilizers that can be dissolved in water can be absorbed by plants. The phosphate rock that is mined is insoluble in water. Only through industrial processing can it be turned into a usable fertilizer—then the question is, where can he find someone who understands this technology in this land where phosphate rock is used as mineral dyes?

"Ah, Ayun? Did I say something wrong?" When Balu saw Xiao Yun lying on the ground, he thought he had done something wrong.

Xiao Yun got up silently, looked at the sky at 45 degrees: "...you are right, it is this world that is wrong."

Baru: "??"

"There are so many strange people and unscientific magic in this world, why doesn't the technology tree go in the direction of agricultural production?" Xiao Yun was extremely sad, and the red molten iron flowing from the tap hole of the shaft furnace did not cheer him up.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, Xiao Yun became even more sad, and it was really painful——as soon as everyone sat down and picked up the bowl, a green-haired gemstone monster fell from the sky.

The gray dwarf was so frightened that he screamed and ran around like a headless chicken, but he held the bowl firmly in his hand.

All the goblins shrank into a corner and shivered.

Snow Werewolf & Rabbit Manul had no expression on their faces.

This uninvited guest swept the audience with arrogant and cold eyes, as if he disliked the snow werewolf tribe's practice of sitting and dining in groups in the open air, but he didn't get out of the way, he just fell down cheekily, and he didn't know where he came from. He sat down on a chair, took out a small square table and placed it in front of him, then looked at Chef Snow Werewolf who was guarding the earthenware pot and serving soup and wheat cakes for everyone.

Dahe subconsciously looked at Xiao Yun.

"...Give it to him! Give it to him to eat!" What else could Xiao Yun say, when he fooled this guy away ten days ago, he managed to fool him about the need for a cook.

With a constipated expression, Da He sent the wheat cakes and soup over.

The green dragon who doesn't know what his face is... The thief naturally conjures a white napkin around his neck, and the adult snow werewolves eat for ten minutes to clear the wind and clear the clouds in five minutes.

Then the guy looked at Dahe with piercing eyes.

Da He looked at Xiao Yun expressionlessly.

Xiao Yun didn't want to say anything, and waved his hands feebly.

After eating more than a dozen wheat cakes and eating a clay pot of soup, this brazen green dragon stopped eating, gracefully wiped his mouth with a napkin, got up, put away his chair and table, and turned to look at Xiao Yun pretended to put his hands behind his back and said, "I'll come back to see the progress of my jewelry making next time."

After rising lightly, this guy looked at Xiao Yun again, with a disgusted expression on his face: "Won't you feel tired of eating the same dishes next time if you change the dishes?"

Xiao Yun almost pulled out his middle finger on the spot—then why don't you come here! !

Xiao Yun, who was so angry that his stomach hurt, ran to squeeze into a room with the grassroots patriarch that night, and when the clansmen fell asleep, he sincerely asked the grassroots who was a hundred times more reliable than Huoyan: "Patriarch, you said that we should sacrifice , Spend some blood and set up a food festival, invite all the green dragons to come over for dinner, and then kill them all at once, don’t leave anyone alive... Can other dragons find out about this?"

The grass root seemed to be struck by ten thousand lightning bolts in an instant, and looked at him in horror.

"Our own people will definitely not tell this matter, and this is not okay?" Xiao Yun said painfully.

The grassroots patriarch was silent for at least 10 minutes, raised his hand and patted Xiao Yun's shoulder, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke: "...Ayun...don't think too much, if you can do this, the Elf King will soon I just did it... the elves also like those beautiful gems."

Xiao Yun covered his face and fell on the kang. He understood how the three buddies felt when Churchill told him, "Even if the last Indian dies, the British Empire will not surrender"—they just wanted to exploit them ruthlessly. You, what can you do!

Just do whatever you want!

Holding 12 points of anger, Xiao Yun, who planned a hundred ways to cook dragon meat, devoted himself to the aggrieved work of "supervising" the gray dwarves to make jewelry for the green dragon the next day.

...then he saw the jewelry pattern provided by the green dragon, and laughed for 10 minutes first.

"——It's so ugly, brother! If it weren't for the gold and silver's own beauty and forcibly stuffing gemstones, this thing can be worn out? How does this guy have the nerve to let me brag about his high-sightedness!"

"...Wait!" Xiao Yun suddenly thought of something, and his smiling face changed instantly, his eyes flickering.

Xia Er, who was drawing gold thread with a rough tool, accidentally saw Xiao Yun's gloomy face, and shivered suddenly.

A few days later, when the heavy snow was coming, the shameless Green Dragon came to Cengfan again, saying that he was calling to check the progress of making jewelry, but this product was completely aiming at the meal, and he ignored it after he came. The gray dwarf just stared at the chef who was cooking.

Xiao Yun gave Dahe a look, sneaked away by himself, and carried out his burnt flying statue.

The half-meter-high and [-]-centimeter-wide flying statue, because Xiao Yun deliberately saved some petal paints this year, is a colorful and gorgeous... When he appeared with the flying statue, he was eating the green dragon of Haisai A pair of eyes immediately stuck to the flying apsaras. He took two steps to the left, and the green dragon's eyeballs moved to the left. He took two steps to the right, and the green dragon's eyeballs moved to the right.

Xiao Yun immediately piled up a warm smile for business use: "Honorable Lord Green Dragon, what do you think of this goddess statue?"

The green dragon couldn't care less about eating white wheat cakes, his scorching eyes almost saw through Xiao Yun's face, as if countless invisible hands stretched out from his eyes...

"As you can see, this is... a statue of the Goddess of Life." Xiao Yun said without changing his face. The gods in this world are all fashionable to have part-time jobs. The same... yes, the one believed by the tauren. I don't know if this goddess is busy.

Huoyan & Grassroots: "??" The goddess of harvest? !

"My family gathered the strength of the whole family to create this statue of the Goddess of Life, but unfortunately found that we were not even capable of building a temple suitable for this goddess." Xiao Yun fell to the ground in frustration.

All Snow Werewolves: "??"

"Obviously, this goddess statue is only worthy of a noble green dragon like you." Xiao Yun respectfully offered the goddess statue with both hands.

The green dragon jumped over the table and swooped up to snatch it... Well, he didn't maintain his composure at this time.

Xiao Yun looked coldly at the green dragon caressing the statue of the goddess, with the same smile on his face: "Although my family doesn't believe in gods, I also hope to do something for the goddess of life... In fact, I really want to create a Just like the jewelry worn by this goddess statue, unfortunately, we snow werewolves are very poor and do not own gold..."

Of course the flying sky statue should wear a flying bun, and of course the flying bun should be paired with gorgeous head and face jewelry. The green dragon looked at the jewelry on the goddess statue in shock and then turned his attention to Xiao Yun: "Can you make this kind of jewelry?"

...As long as there are materials and accessories, those handmade bloggers' DIY jewelry can make you bright, believe it or not?Xiao Yun secretly rolled his eyes and smiled pleasantly: "Of course."

The breath of the green dragon changed: "I allow you to use my gold jewelry... Make this jewelry!"

——Nimma wants you to learn how to comb a flying bun. See how you can take off such a troublesome hairstyle and wear jewelry on your head so quickly you can change into a dragon!

Xiao Yun pretended to hesitate, and said a little reluctantly: "This is very difficult...it will be even more difficult than us concentrating the strength of the whole family to create a flying statue...Of course, if we can gain your friendship, we snow werewolves will definitely go all out .”

The green dragon immediately beamed with joy, and pretended to be cold, raised his chin and said: "I can consider rewarding you my friendship."

Xiao Yun was MMP in his heart, but on the surface he was very moved: "I'm very honored, and I can't help but want to pay more for you—" Then he switched to a disappointed expression, "It's a pity that we don't have animal fat anymore, it's hard to catch it recently To the wild boar, otherwise, we can treat you to more delicious pancakes this time, alas, what a pity."

"What's the matter!" The green dragon snorted coldly, and immediately ascended to the sky...uh, soared into the sky.

"It would be even better if you can catch live young wild boars. The oil of young wild boars is the most fragrant - the more the better, the better!" Xiao Yun shouted at the green dragon flying away.

The green dragon's humming sound came from afar...

Xiao Yun raised his middle finger to express his greetings, and then quickly turned his head to look at the bewildered others: "Hurry up and eat! We're still waiting for that guy to come back!"

all staff:"……"

The grassroots patriarch swallowed hard: "Ah Yun, don't you mean to..."

"No way, this brown candy is sticky and can't be shaken off, so try to use the waste as much as possible, at least to earn back the food expenses. Let him fly all over the forest and catch us hundreds of wild boars. The big ones will eat meat, and the small ones will be eaten." Let’s take advantage of the cold weather so it’s not easy to get infected.” Xiao Yun said with a displeased face.

The grassroots patriarch suddenly didn't feel sorry for the goddess statue that was given away for nothing...

Xiao Yun looked at Hongye again: "Do you know where there are large groups of prey and it's not easy for us to hunt?"

Hongye looked at him dully.
