Chapter 64: Born Yellow
Elena's cheeks flushed, and she turned her head away in embarrassment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSnow also blushed, but only the right cheek, and it was in the shape of a slap.
Just now, Elena woke up and saw Snow sitting beside her with a wicked smile on her face, doing something to her. The most hateful thing is that his collar was actually pulled open by him. Without even thinking about it, Elena's left hand beckoned Snow in the face, and a snap almost knocked Snow unconscious.
"Okay, will you tie your clothes yourself, or will you let me come?" Snow said with a depressed face.
"I'm sorry for you." Elena whispered.
Snow carefully tied up Elena's clothes, rubbed his face and said pitifully, "Can I stay here for a while, and then go out when the swelling is gone?" ā
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Elena was very upset.
"Forget it, who made me look like a pervert." Snow waved his hand generously, "How are you feeling now?" ā
"It's much better, but I don't have the strength to do it." Elena looked at Snow's embarrassed look, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise upward.
"Don't have the strength? You almost fanned me out just now. Snow gave her a blank look.
"Haven't I already been humble?" As soon as Elena finished speaking, the door was opened.
"Mayor Town, the fish soup is ready." Bias walked in with fish soup and was pleasantly surprised to see Elena with her eyes open, "Huh? Miss Elena, are you awake? ā
"Hmm." Alina nodded.
Snow turned his face sideways, raised his hand and said, "Give me the fish soup, you can go out." Don't tell them just yet, Elena just woke up and needs to rest. ā
"Yes." Bias handed the fish soup to Snow, said hello to Elena, and turned to go out.
Snow took the fish soup and stirred it slightly with a small spoon, "Can you do it yourself?" ā
"Yes." Elena tried to stand up, but was clearly unable to do so.
"I'll do it anyway." Snow put down the fish soup, gently helped Elena up, half leaned on the head of the bed, and then picked up the fish soup and carefully brought it to Elena's lips, "Be careful of burning." ā
"Hmm." Elena nodded softly, her cheeks redder.
This docile look was the first time Snow saw it, and couldn't help but say: "You're still very cute when you're well-behaved, why do you always look like an enemy to me." ā
Elena lowered her eyebrows and did not answer. Maybe she was really hungry, or maybe for some other reason, Elena felt that this bowl of fish soup was much more delicious than all the food she had eaten before.
After drinking the fish soup, Snow briefly told the story of the Kantz siblings. Alina was supposed to meet them, but Snow refused. Let her have a good rest, and let Yalian bring the two of them over tomorrow to catch up. This time, Elena surprisingly did not refute Snow's words, but nodded gently. This made Snow a little unaccustomed, but he was still very happy about Elena's change of attitude.
Out of Elena's room, a wave of fatigue hits her. These few days have not been easy, and Snow is physically and mentally exhausted. I was going to ask if there were any special circumstances in the town in the past two days, but I was so sleepy that I yawned and turned back to my room. I went to bed, and I fell asleep with a sinking head.
Snow slept soundly until the noise and a pungent aroma came from outside the door, and Snow opened his eyes dimly.
Sitting up and rubbing his eyes, Snow looked out the window. It should have been midnight and it was pitch black outside the window. If you listen closely, it should be Abra and Gerosan who are back.
Snow got up and went downstairs, opened the door and walked out. Torches were lit up in the town, and many residents were happily carrying things from their wagons. Mandasen and his men set up a bonfire in front of the clearing, roasting several skinned beasts. With the application of salt and other spices, a burst of meat aroma comes to the nose.
"Mayor, I was just going to wake you up." Mandason smiled and stepped forward, "Abela they brought a lot of goodies. ā
"What about them?" Snow turned his head to look around, but he didn't notice Abra and Geralsan.
"The two of them were so tired that the carriage jumped down and went to sleep in the room before it could stop." "After fighting off the beasts, I led the men to fight off the fleshier beasts, gutted them, and hung them out of the room. Although the fish soup is good, it needs to be changed occasionally to the taste. ā
Snow nodded, "I'm here to help." ā
Under the busy work of Snow and others, the aroma of barbecue soon spread throughout Luke Town. With the exception of Abra and Gerosanne, all the inhabitants were hooked by the smell of meat. A few roasted beasts were divided up in an instant. Mandason and the others had to drag a few more beasts and begin to skin them.
"Captain, is this beast broken, why does it smell like this?" Bias said with a frown.
"No, it's only been a few days." Mandason stepped forward and sniffed it, and said, "Something has been stained on this guy, the meat should not be broken, let's peel it." ā
"Oh, it smells so pungent." Bias muttered, which happened to be heard by Snow on the side.
"What's pungent?" Snow asked, turning his head.
"This guy doesn't know which rat hole he's in, and he's covered in pungent stuff." Bias said.
"Pungent stuff?" Snow raised his eyebrows, got up and walked over, and said, "Where is it?" Let me see. "These beasts are all moving in the mountains and forests, and they may bring out some useful information on them.
"Here's it." Bias said, pointing to the right hind leg of the beast in his hand.
Snow looked closely, and there were indeed some yellow crystals on the beast's receding hair. Snow pinched a little, rubbed his hands together, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and his eyes lit up.
"This ...... It's born yellow. "The so-called natural yellow is the so-called sulfur. Looking at the yellow crystals between his fingers, Snow became excited.
Everyone knows that sulfur is an indispensable ingredient in making gunpowder. After mechanical mixing according to the ratio of one nitrate, two yellows, and three charcoals, black powder can be obtained. Under the action of appropriate external energy, black powder can burn rapidly and regularly, and at the same time produce a large amount of high-temperature gas substance. In the military, it is mainly used as the ****** of guns and shells, and the energy source of other driving devices, and it is also an important part of ammunition.
In other words, there are one or more sulfur mines in the mountains and forests. And it is not buried deeply, because it is impossible for the beast to go deep into the ground. How could this discovery not make Snow excited, with brimstone, as long as he got saltpeter, he could make black powder. This leads to the creation of highly lethal thermal weapons such as muskets. This is undoubtedly a huge propeller and an invincible umbrella for the development of Rook Town.
"Mayor Mayor, are you alright?" Bias on the side asked in surprise.
"Of course there's something, quick, let people drag all the beast carcasses over, I'm going to check them one by one." Snow waved his hand and said, he wanted to see what other treasure information was on the bodies of other beasts.
