My Magic Age

The Tauren tribe is a very rare tribe in the wasteland. They are also a branch of the orcs, but they are more suitable to live in warmer places. The cold wind in the winter on the Pai Plateau makes these Tauren miserable, and the tribe's The purest tauren are still vegetarians, so the Pai Plateau, which is barren and does not produce food, is considered a barren land for them. Old Kuru told us that there are currently no more than 30,000 tauren on the Pai Plateau. They do not have stomachs as powerful as werewolves. When werewolves are hungry, they can eat bark, grass roots, and even cooked leather, but tauren The worst they can do is eat potatoes, and they are tall. Adult tauren rarely weigh less than one ton, and a meal requires at least twenty or thirty kilograms of food. In this way, food will affect the tauren tribe. The greatest barrier to reproduction.

Tribal tauren are natural gathering experts. They are naturally very sensitive to medicinal herbs. Adult tauren will leave their hometown with a basket of medicine on their backs and can travel to every remote corner of the wilderness.

Qige said that this tall tauren with a gentle temperament actually gave up the silver-leaf grass on the ground.

Just because of Qi Ge's polite words, he would exchange other herbs in his backpack for Silver Leaf Grass with Qi Ge. This shows how honest and honest he is, even a little silly!

At that time, Qige shook her head to express her refusal, and smiled and said to the tauren: There are blooming silver-leaf grasses everywhere. Here, it is absolutely no big deal if I give you some silver-leaf grasses, but if I exchange them with you for other Herbal medicine, that’s taking advantage of you.

The tauren seemed confused about Qige's rejection, but after hearing Qige's explanation, he laughed heartily. He simply opened his herbal bag and showed the herbs inside to Qige. He turned around and saw Qige's side. There was also an Agui beast that was eating grass, so he asked Qige: Smart human girl, you must have brought a lot of daily necessities with you when you took the Agui beast on a trip in this wilderness! So, do you have any salt?

The tauren offered to exchange salt and wheat cakes for medicinal herbs. Qige accepted this condition without hesitation because she took a fancy to the woodgrass and salvia in the tauren's herbal bag. These two magical herbs are used to make moonlight ink. Although the dosage of supplementary ingredients is very small, if you want to buy these two herbal medicines, it is difficult to It's not easy to come across. If you want to buy it, you have to go to a large magic herbal store in a big city. Qige's moonlight ink just lacks these two accessories. Originally, she wanted to cut corners when configuring the magic ink. Just like last time without the Ningshen Flower, I also made the scroll, right?

When Qige said this, I asked her strangely: "Miss Qi, didn't you tell the tauren that there is a saltwater pond not far from here?"

Qige sat next to me and laid out the herbs used to make moonlight ink in the herbal bag in proportion. Then she complained to me and said, "Why didn't I tell you? I told him that there is a pond not far over there. There must be a rock salt mine nearby. You can mine a piece and take it with you. But he told me that this kind of salt mine is very common in the wasteland, but only large livestock dare to drink such salt water. Orcs will easily get sick if they drink it. He also told me that those rock salt mines are poisonous and let them I must be careful not to drink the salty water from the pond by mistake!”

I was a little stunned after hearing this, and I directly asked Kurtz who was eating meat in the haggis soup pot: "Azi, you said there is a lack of salt on the Pai Plateau. Half of the salt is well salt transported from the dwarf country. , the other half is sea salt transported from the human kingdom. The reason why there is no salt production on your Pai Plateau is..."

Kurtz swallowed the offal in his mouth, raised his head and said to me: "The halite mines all over the Pai Plateau are poisonous!"

I remember the last time I bought salt in Yemen Town, the price of a pound of salt was about 20 silver. Then I asked Qige: "How much is the price of salt in Green Capital?"

"Fine salt is about two silvers per catty, and coarse salt is fifty copper coins! However, selling salt privately is a felony, and you will be sent to the gallows or guillotine. If you want to transport salt to the Pai Plateau, you need a trade certificate. Also need to pay very high tariffs, usually these Once things are done, a pound of salt will cost around ten silvers. Coupled with the high freight and losses, the salt dealers will sell the salt to the Gurudin tribe for about fifteen silvers, right? Orcs?" Qige said to me while counting on her fingers.

Her eyes were staring at the various colors of magic grass smoke on the ground, focusing on the subdivided types. It seemed that she was going to configure moonlight ink today.

I asked Kurtz: "I mean, since salt is so expensive, have the magic apothecaries in your orc tribe never thought about how to withdraw and store mineral salt?"

"How come there isn't? I don't know how many sages have always wanted to use magic means to refine better quality salt. There are many successful examples, but the cost is higher than buying it from humans. Various catalysts and fusion agents and A lot of charcoal. I don’t know how much salt can be exchanged for these things alone. In the past, before the luxury goods in the human world entered the wilderness, there were so many good things in our tribe. A bundle of magic herbs could be exchanged for a jar of salt. No one had to worry about salt. It’s just that in the past few years! As I became poorer, I gradually realized that I couldn’t even afford salt, let alone make my own salt!”

"We don't have much salt anymore. I originally thought that two kilograms of salt would be enough in this wasteland. Unexpectedly, the tauren finally offered to exchange one ice grass for one kilogram of salt!" Qige said with some embarrassment. , Ice grass is no longer a primary magic herb. It can also be considered a special one among intermediate magic herbs, mainly because There is no place where ice grass grows in the Green Empire. Except for the ice and snow tundra where the barbarians live in the northernmost region, this plant grows. The other places are under the snowy mountains of the Pai Plateau of the orcs and the New West Asia of the dwarf kingdom. Ice grass can only appear deep in the mountains. In the Green Empire, one plant of this thing is almost worth a gold coin. I have to say that Qi Ge took advantage of it, but I’m afraid the salt we brought has also been depleted.

"At most... at most we should try to put as little salt as possible when making food in the future. Eating more meat can also save salt!" Qi Ge had already begun to think about how to save salt.

I kicked Kuz, who was still eating the meat in the soup pot, and asked him to take back the magic antelope skin we cooked. During the cooking process of the magic antelope leather, special magic potion must be applied, otherwise it will not be cooked. During the process, the magic storage capacity of the magic leather will be greatly reduced.

Well, now that we have said this, we have to talk about what is the difference between ordinary leather and magic leather?

right! It is magic storage. Magic leather does not mean that its defense ability is necessarily stronger than ordinary leather. For example, the hard cowhide of one-horned bison in the wilderness is more durable than the magic antelope leather, but the difference is that bison leather cannot store magic power. Magicians You can use a carving knife to draw magic patterns on the leather of the magic antelope. These magic patterns are successfully drawn. The leather is magic scrolls. These magic scrolls can be stored for a long time without losing effect. But as for ordinary bison leather, in fact, magicians can also draw magic patterns on bison leather, but the magic patterns drawn on bison leather are magic patterns. It only takes half a day for it to evaporate completely, leaving only an empty cowhide roll covered with knife marks.

At this time, Katarina was squatting behind Qige, grinding the secondary moonstone with a grinder. I took out a bottle of magic stabilizer from Qige's pocket, and waited for Kuz to retrieve it, which was half dry in the sun. Magic antelope skin, use a small brush to evenly apply the stabilizer to the magic antelope skin. I hate the spicy taste of this stabilizer. This is Gelu. The smell of juice from the roots, he smiled and hugged Kurtz and said to him: "Brother, I have thought of another way to make money. Brother, when you take over the management of the Gurudin tribe and become the master, you can give it to me." Write a letter, and I will tell you how to lead your people to get rich. Brother, I definitely have a good idea in this regard. "

Kurtz curled his lips and smiled wildly. He raised his thick eyebrows and said happily: "I have six brothers above me. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you to get rich in this life. If I can become the mayor of Gurudin Town, Chief, not only must all six of my brothers die in the battle, but they must also have no heirs, but my eldest brother’s eldest son Kubandi is the same age as me, and he is very brave and is considered very powerful in our tribe.”

"Are you as good as you?" I asked him curiously,

"Haha, when it comes to hunting, he is definitely not as good as me. It would be difficult for me to beat him if we fight hard. My advantage is the entire wilderness. For a hunter like me who can survive in any environment, the entire Beilu Wasteland This is my home!" Kuz spread the magic antelope skin in his arms on the grass, and cooperated with me to apply magic paint on the sheepskin.

Catalina saw us sorting out three one-meter-square magic antelope skins. She was probably worried that I was too tired. I had been hunting by the pond for most of the day and stayed up late at night to draw magic scrolls, so she asked worriedly: "How many scrolls are you going to make today?"

"Do as much as possible. I don't know what I will encounter in the future. The conditions in the wilderness are not good, and the orc hunters are also having a hard time. I think most people who can adapt to the environment here have to drink raw water and eat raw meat. , maybe you can’t eat salt for a long time, and you will get sick over time. We can help you if you can. Try to help these people! "I didn't do this out of kindness. I just wanted to help the orcs overcome the current difficulties, and the simple orcs care more about equal exchange. They don't like to accept gifts from others. Maybe this is the case. Helping others brings us greater rewards.

Seeing Qige looking a little ashamed at this time, I thought that she had always cared about whether we could eat salt in the future, and she must have been blaming herself for her selfish behavior. I turned to her and winked and said: "Don't worry, I have seen a very practical and simple method of making salt in the ancient orc magic sheepskin scrolls. What I can guarantee is that at least in the wasteland we will have it." Don’t worry about the endless salt, I’m here!”

Qige's face was slightly red, she glared at me angrily and said, "Are you sure you can do this all night?"

"Miss Qi, can we not become fat in one sitting?" I asked her with a grimace.
