Lux's Magic Penetration Rod
Extra: Prequel Part 3: The Oldest Salesman
Shurima, which has fully accepted Kalya, not only has another food source, but also has a quite unique specialty.
Since the Shuriman tribe has always acted as other people's thugs in the past, and they are the kind who fight without their lives, Setaka actually knows many leaders of land tigers. Some of these former employers are generous and some are stingy, but in Kal It seems that, without exception, they are all potential customers of fragrance powder.
Yes, according to Kalya's plan, the fragrant powder is a product to be sold at a high price. Even though the cost of this thing is not worth mentioning, and the manufacturing technology is not too complicated after explaining it clearly, Kalja still does not intend to sell it to ordinary people. people.
"Why?" When Kalya told Setaka, the elder sister didn't understand at all, "How much can you make if you just sell to those people?"
"Only by selling to them can we make more money." Kalya shook his head, and while carving on the box with a knife, he used words and sentences to explain to Setaka, "If it were you, what would you like to use? In exchange for a box of scented powder?”
"Maybe, a meal?" Setaka frowned, "No more, everyone still needs to eat."
"Yes, most of the tribes in this desert are still working hard to eat." Kalya blew the powder on the box, "Only those who can pay something to make themselves smell better I have enough money to hire a big shot like you."
"..."
Blinking, Setaka realized that what Kalya said seemed to make sense.
"So, you're going to make a beautiful box for it?"
"The box is just an insignificant piece of evidence." Kalya stiffly translated an idiom, "What's more important is the story."
"Story?" Setaka was a little confused, "What does the powder have to do with the story?"
"Do you think my status is unusual?" Kalya did not answer directly, but asked, "At least I must be the child of a big shot?"
"……How did you know?"
"Because you chose to teach me the language yourself." A bright smile appeared on Kalya's face, "instead of leaving me to others - I have discovered that you are very busy."
"So, what does it matter?"
"Since you picked me up and thought my identity was unusual, then our potential customers must have similar thoughts, right?" Kalya picked up the carving knife again, "A mysterious identity, a wonderful story, That’s enough to give a spice a staggering price.”
"Are you going to lie to them?" Setaka narrowed his eyes, "Or are you planning to get a promotion through this method?"
"Too direct words are very hurtful." Kalya blew again, "Whether you believe it or not, I have no intention of leaving Shurima."
"You are different from us." Setaka was not easily convinced by Kalya's words. "I am very grateful for your previous help. This proves that you are not the kind of bastard who likes to look at people with your nostrils. Your words are very powerful. , can give everyone courage, but I always feel that even if we sit face to face, we are not together."
Hearing what Setaka said, Kalya finally raised his head in surprise.
"You have very keen senses." He finally put down the box in his hand, "Maybe we can talk honestly."
"Very good, I never like beating around the bush." Setaka nodded, "You are different from us. I have already felt that if you are exposed to those big people, you will quickly integrate into them."
"Why do you think so?" Kalya seemed very interested. "If it was just for the powder, they could kick me away."
"No, you won't allow this." Setaka shook his head, "You like to use your brain - maybe it's because your body is too weak. You always have to think first and then act."
Although he had accepted the fact, when Setaka said "You are too weak" very seriously, Kalya still instinctively clicked his tongue.
"And we are not." Setaka ignored Kalya's dissatisfaction and continued, "Everyone in Shurima is a desperate mercenary. We are abandoned. We are different from you."
"So Shurima needs a reliable brain."
"Yes, a reliable brain, not a brain that doesn't know what it is thinking." Setaka nodded without hesitation, "I don't know what you want to do next."
"For that, just ask."
"You like to use your brain so much, so even if the answer you prepare is a lie, I may not be able to see through it."
"I swear to you, I didn't lie."
"It's hard for people to never lie." Setaka saw it clearly. "Even I have to lie to people sometimes and tell them that you will get better soon."
"...That should be regarded as a kind of language art."
This answer made Setaka a little unable to react. It was clear that what Kalya said was taught by him, but sometimes he could not understand what Kalya said - this kind of thing beyond his control made Setaka very Insecure.
"Otherwise, let's do this." Kalya thought for a while and changed his approach, "How is your memory?"
"Memory?" Setaka blinked, "It should be pretty good?"
"Then I will say something next, and then you repeat it." A smile appeared on Kalya's face, "If everything goes well, you will be the one to sell these fragrant powders to others - I will not have any contact with them at all. Apart from everyone in Rima, no one outside even knows that I exist, how about that?"
This answer made Setaka a little confused again. She looked at Kalya dully, only the light of flames danced in her deep eyes.
"Well, I mean, since you can't completely trust me, then I can only express my attitude." Kalya looked into Setaka's eyes, "I will not contact the buyer, Xiangfen. You will be responsible for the sale, so you don’t need to worry about me having any special thoughts, right?"
"This makes me even more confused." Setaka shook his head, "No one would refuse a better life."
"You just turned down that idiot's invitation."
"...I will not abandon everyone." Setaka was choked by this sentence for a long time. He was stunned for a moment before giving an answer, "Besides, you also said that he is an idiot."
"I was rescued by Shuriman." Kalya shrugged, "Besides, everyone just recognized that according to Shuriman rules, I am a Shuriman."
Setaka looked at the truly powerless man in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay, now it's time to memorize the lines." Kalya seemed not to see Setaka's complicated eyes, and looked at the box in his hand again, "This was found in a ruins..."
……………………
Setaka's acting talent is actually good - although she is usually used to speaking straightforwardly, if she is asked to speak according to Kalya's lines, what she says is very real and believable.
As a salesperson of perfume powder, the effect must be quite good.
Therefore, Kalya spent half a month polishing the lines and boxes, and finally made sure that the words he prepared were in line with Setaka's character and language habits, and then announced Setaka's departure.
"That's it." He looked at Setaka with great satisfaction. "Believe me, as long as you follow my instructions, this little box will be enough to buy us a Sklash."
"It? Replace it with a Sklash?" Setaka looked at the box that Kalya handed to him with some disbelief. "Well, what is engraved on it... is a dragon?"
"have you seen?"
"I've never seen it before, but when I saw it like this, my first thought was that of a dragon."
"That's right!" Kalya took back the box with great satisfaction, "But before that, I have to prepare some old work..."
"Old-fashioned?" Setaka has gradually become accustomed to Kalya's blunt way of composing words, "What is that?"
"Make it look older, like something from a certain period of time." Kalya started to mix the strange liquid and explained briefly to Setaka, "In order to match its story."
Hearing what Kalya said, Setaka showed a subtle and complicated expression on her face. As a mercenary who takes people's money and eliminates disasters for others, she is more accustomed to straightforward things, like Kalya's acting. This was the first time she had seen a full set of methods.
It happened that Kalya did this for Shurima, and she was not evaded in the whole process. It can even be said that Setaka herself was involved, which undoubtedly made the Shurima elder sister's emotions quite complicated.
Forget it, just think it’s for the tribe!
In the end, under the direction of Karya, Setaka successfully completed the performance on the edge of an oasis - the small box that Karya had carefully prepared for twenty days was indeed as he expected. Got a Scarash.
And it's a strong, fertile female Scarash.
When the eldest sister returned with Scarash in hand, everyone in the Shurima tribe was happy, and many people had even begun to think of a bright future.
Although this Skalalash is still somewhat wild and untamed, for a small tribe like Shurima, a prime female Skalalash is already a very valuable asset, whether it is used for subsequent Breeding Sklash or finding someone to trade them to become two male Sklash to carry goods can greatly strengthen the tribe's strength and make Shurima more resistant to risks.
And Setaka knew even more clearly that what Kalya exchanged for this Scarash was nothing more than a box of powder, a box, and a story that was not too complicated.
That night, everyone in Shurima gathered around the bonfire, excitedly thinking about the future, and did not fall asleep until late at night.
But Setaka couldn't sleep.
As the leader of the tribe and the eldest sister of everyone, she thought more - so she found Kalya for the second time.
"Maybe Shurima is not the right place for you." Looking at Kalya who was carving a block of wood with the knife again, Setaka thought for a moment and finally spoke, "You have a good mind. But I'm afraid Shurima won't be able to play it."
"Thank you for the compliment." Kalya said without raising his head, "But don't belittle yourself, you are very good at fighting."
"You have exchanged a Skalash for Shurima." Setaka continued, "If necessary, the old Skalash can be given to you."
This time Kalya finally raised his head in surprise.
"Pack enough water and food, and you can go to a better place." Setaka took a deep breath, "Shurima is too small to keep you."
"Why do you have such an idea?" Kalya finally got over it, "The box was replaced with a Scarash. I have proven my ability. Don't you prefer me to stay at this time?"
"We rescued you from the desert, and you brought us a Sklash. This is enough." Setaka seemed to have an account in his heart, "Shurima can't keep people like you. .”
"Those people finally chose to leave?" Karya quickly understood, "They are unwilling to be like you, carrying what they consider to be a burden?"
"We are not a burden."
"Well, that's good, I think so too." Kalya nodded seriously, "So, don't worry about me leaving."
"But you...you shouldn't have the same origin as us?"
"Some things don't necessarily need to be experienced personally." Kalya smiled, simply put away the carving knife, and put the carved gadget into Setaka's hand, "Okay, don't think about it, go to bed early, Shurima still needs you, Sister!"
Lowering his head, Setaka carefully looked at the wonderful wood carving in his hand. Her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his own, and the details and textures were quite a lot, but her body proportions were that of a big-headed doll. This unique shape Make it look a little extra lively.
After looking over and over several times, Setaka couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Then, just when Setaka raised his head and wanted to say "well done", he found that Kalya had fallen asleep leaning on the fire, sprawled out.
Seeing this scene, Setaka finally couldn't help but shook his head.
"It's really a bad sleep state." She shook her head and turned up the collar of Kalya's robe to cover his mouth. "If I let you sleep like this all night, your mouth will be full of sand tomorrow morning... …”
————————
The extra chapter will continue tomorrow.
Recently, many people in the book review section and in the readership group have said that I like to write plots that have nothing to do with the main plot... But in fact, these plots have a lot to do with the main plot.
Moreover, if some things are not written through this kind of narration, a dry list of experiences will only be more ugly-my previous books have proved this.
I'm sorry to any readers who are upset about this, but I just can't do it if I want to focus on Lux.
If I have to say, I think this is because I update too little. If I updated more every day, I wouldn't have this sense, right?
So let’s do it this way, if there is still this kind of branch plot description, I will try to update it a little more. If it doesn’t work, I will add an extra chapter. Maybe this will make it more comfortable for readers who are following the update?
As for readers who want me to reduce background descriptions and not write content that is irrelevant to the main plot... I really can't do that. A major core of this book is a detailed description of the world view of a magical world. In fact, it has been from the very beginning. Some readers say that the protagonist should be strong and not be political. That does represent a writing direction and a choice direction that readers like, but this book is not.
In other words, the biggest advantage of this book is actually the seemingly complicated background and world view.
If some readers think that the content I added in pursuit of truth and logic (including the words of free authors, including a lot of foreshadowing and preparation) is redundant, so I did not write well, I should be able to write more interestingly...
Having said that, I accept criticism - from the perspective of a reader, I also think that sometimes the writing is not good enough, and I cannot write about the various feelings of the vast world and all living beings, and I cannot write about the changing times and the changes in the world. The years of vicissitudes of life are long.
But if I shouldn't write like this, I should point the camera at the protagonist's face...
All I can say is that that is not what I want to write, and I am quite resistant to it, which makes it even more difficult for me to understand what I am writing.
Finally, those who can read this should be old readers. Thank you very much for your support. When it is updated tomorrow, there will be an extra chapter, which is still about Kalya’s past.
Thank you so much!
