As intended, we had sorted out the magic scrolls we needed, and when everything was ready, we set out for the drowning berth on the edge of the Death Swamp, once home to the Raitu tribe. www.biquge.infoYesterday, Kuz had informed Elder Gribaschin's side that the orcs of the Raitu tribe would set out at dawn in order to cross the barren wasteland around the town of Gurudin, which had been completely overrun by hungry orcs, and they had dug out the roots of grass that could be eaten. The farther you go to the periphery, the more you can find something to eat, but there are demonic beasts in those places-Wind Wolves. We need to take the orcs of the tribe and avoid as many orcs as possible who are looking for food in the surrounding wasteland. At the same time, doing so minimizes hassle.

Just the night before departure, Chief Kut and two wolf orc elders from the Elders of Gurudin Town approached me and Qige, because all the shops in Gurudin Town had run out of salt, and at least two caravans carrying salt had not arrived in Guruding Town on time, no matter what the reason, whether it was a natural disaster, or a human hazard, no matter what kind of coincidence or conspiracy, the problem had arisen, and it would be a major matter that endangered the safety of the entire Western Wasteland.

No matter who doesn't eat salt, physical fitness will decline, even if meat food contains a small amount of salt, but in such a famine period, there is no way to provide enough meat for the blood wolf legion in the Guruding Fortress, if this situation cannot be solved within a month, then the combat power and morale of the Blood Wolf Legion will decline, those 50,000 blood wolf troops guarding the Guruding Fortress, they are in such a cataclysm year, and their families are in a difficult period of starvation. It is already extremely difficult to be able to stay in the fortress. Once the lack of salt is delayed for too long. They think of their family members outside, and they are emotionally impetuous. Maybe it will cause a mutiny in the barracks, and then it will be a big deal.

By the time the Coot chieftain and the Council of Elders had contacted a number of trading houses, hoping that a merchant would bring some salt here. There have been human merchants who have agreed to rent an airship from the airport and immediately go to the Grimm Empire to bring back some salt to solve their urgent needs. But the Presbyterians could not put their eggs in the same basket, and only pinned their hopes on these mercenary merchants.

In the intervening days, we have sold magical herbs, demon antelope skins, and some weapons of unknown origin in the town of Gurudin. Zig and I are again in a caravan on our way to the steward of Leipas. This led some people to think that we were the children of some of the merchants in the caravan that Old Kuru and Kuz were in, which is why Kurt personally approached me and Kig to see if we could contact other merchants to transport salt to Gurudin.

"Salt?" said Kig, smiling like a kitten stealing salted fish.

Kige sat on a chair in the living room, put his chin on his hands and asked Kurt with a smile: "Instead of always buying salt, so that it is always controlled by others, it is better to make salt yourself, if the blood wolf clan has the method of salt production......

Obviously. The current Acting Chief of the Blood Wolf Clan in Gruuddin, Kut, was not a very good businessman, he was even so dull that he didn't react at all, and he sat in his chair thinking about how to solve the problem of the salt shortage, and he didn't even hear the meaning of Qige's words.

The orc werewolf elder of the Council of Elders who was sitting next to him raised his eyelids. Puzzled, he asked, "We make our own salt?"

"Why not, there's no shortage of salt mines in the wasteland!" said Kige, always smiling as he spoke to outsiders.

"All those salt water are poisonous! Even if we orcs are as strong as us, we will die if we eat those poisonous salts. Another orc elder who had completely wrapped his body in sackcloth said hoarsely. The sound sent my shudders down. I suddenly remembered the liger man Bifron we had killed in the northern foothills of the wasteland. There is such a hoarse voice, when he speaks. It's as if countless pieces of grit slide on the glass, making the joints of people's bones sour.

Qige stretched out a finger, her voice was as light as a yellow warbler, she stood up and smiled at the three most powerful people in Guruding Town in front of her, and said, "That's why I said the method of salt making, we have a way to remove the poison from the mineral salt." ”

"Shhh

"What do you want?rare magical herbs, silver, and adamantite gold?" the orc elder who wrapped his head in sackcloth raised his head and asked urgently, his left pupil was very strange dark gold, while the right pupil was a miserable white light green, he was actually a lion tiger, and my hair exploded.

It is self-evident how significant the matter of salt making is for the future of the Blood Wolf Clan. Qige's eyes were almost bent into a small crescent, and he almost covered his mouth to make this transaction, and in front of my eyes and Kuz, I talked a lot with Kut and the two elders of the Council of Elders, and blatantly sold this method of boiling salt that I had given to Kuzi to the Gurudin Presbyterian Church, but one of the conditions was that the errand of making salt, the Elders' Council must let Kuzi do it. Kuz and I were actually worried that Kig would annoy Kurt by asking for something too precious in exchange for this worthless method of making salt, and I was worried that we would be carried out of Grudin.

It was a very, very puzzling deal, and the two elders in the Council of Elders and Coot were confused, because Kig had just asked for one thing, and it was a rarity for ordinary orcs, but for the Grudin's Elders, or the Grudin's Shamanic Priests' Union, it was nothing more ordinary. In fact, in the end, I didn't understand why Qige would use the 'salt-making method' to replace a stone drum that couldn't be beaten.

This is a stone drum carefully polished and carved with an adult's fist-sized tiger's eye stone, which is very exquisitely carved, and two tiger's eyes are actually polished out on the tiger's eye stone, which is lifelike on the drum surface. This stone drum is very meaningful to the orcs, because every orc who becomes a shaman will receive a war stone drum issued by the shaman's guild, which is like the union medal issued by the magicians' guild to every apprentice who successfully registers as a magician, symbolic more than practical, and it is said that this stone drum is used in conjunction with the orc's magic skills. It can cast some group magic, and it is said that it can be used in conjunction with the war dance of the orc tribe. But this stone drum is other than an orc shaman. Magicians of all races can't use it!

The elder of the Lion Tiger Clan was even a little embarrassed, thinking that his appearance had frightened us. Only then did Miss Qi just symbolize and accept a useless stone drum as a reward. The stone drums were piled up like a hill in the storehouses of the shamanic guild and covered with dust. He personally asked someone to get a stone drum carved from tiger's eye stone, which is actually not much different from the stone drum carved from ordinary stone, except that the stone is more precious, and after polishing, it is more like an ornament.

In this way, several of us had this trip to Qinghai Lake.

Wait until Chief Kut leaves with the two orc elders from the Council of Elders. The four of us got together and started talking about the next steps. It seems that there must be a visit to Qinghai Lake, the most famous sea of death in the Pai Plateau, where there is enough salt. Originally, he thought that it would be good for just a few of us to go and come back with a batch of salt, but Kuz said that he would pass by Night Wolf Cliff on the way, and that place was notoriously rich in wolves, and the boy had given him a pot of wind wolf fangs and arrows from Chief Coot, and he had been thinking about hunting wind wolves all day long. He wanted more than just a pot of arrows.

If you want me to say: Since it must be to hunt the wind wolves, it is a waste to discard some wolf meat, so it is better to let the tribe of Laitu also follow us, and then we will go from Qinghai Lake. It is possible to divide the army into two routes and send some men to bring the salt back to the town of Gurudin, and the large army can just go south from Qinghai Lake to the edge of the Death Swamp. Then head west to reach Drowning Lodge.

This road must have been rarely traveled by orcs, as it was between Qinghai Lake and the town of Gurudin. Separated by a treacherous mountain pass like the Night Wolf Cliff, only powerful orc hunters would dare to cross it. Ordinary orcs wouldn't dare risk dying here. Because of this, there must be plenty of wild herbs and magical herbs waiting to be picked along the way, and I suspect that we may find some sweet potatoes after the night at Wolf Cliff, and maybe even find some sweet potatoes!

The four of us got together and talked about it for half the night, and when Kuz said that his grandmother wanted him to bring the most capable maid this time, he saw that neither I nor Kig looked surprised, so he asked, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"

I actually want to say, there is not even a maid by your side, where do you have a little bit of the appearance of an orc noble young master? In the end, Qi Ge blinked his eyes and gave him a sentence: "Don't all nobles have maids?"

Kuzi suddenly realized, "hehe" smirk, self-deprecating: "It turns out that I am also a nobleman, why didn't I think before?"

Finally, Kuz asked Kig what I wanted to ask the most, and he asked, "Why do you want a stone drum, and what is the use of this thing?"

Qige leaned on the wooden door frame by the balcony with one hand, held the gorgeously colored tiger's eye stone drum with one hand, and brought it to her eyes to take a closer look, and after a while, she did not find anything strange about this stone drum, so she raised her head and replied indifferently, "I am curious, no!"

Kuzi and I felt that in order to satisfy our curiosity about Miss Qi, it was indeed possible to do this, and anyway, the method of making salt was intended to be given to Kuzi from the beginning. At that time, I was thinking that he would one day become the leader of a certain tribe, so with the salt boiling method, his tribe would not starve even in a catastrophic year, and he just needed to be a tribal chief with peace of mind.

Qige didn't see any secrets about this stone drum, so he took out a piece of red rope from his bag, and quickly tied the stone drum into a small pendant, and the tiger's eye stone drum with a shiny yellow pattern was tied to the red rope, which was very beautiful. She carried the red rope, shook the stone drum in her hand, and said, "However, this thing still has a little effect." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed the tiger's eye stone drum into my arms, and then said to me: "You have to keep this well, if you dare to lose it, see how I clean you up." ”

I held the tiger's eye stone drum in my hand, like a hot potato, and I could imagine how angry Miss Qi would look if I accidentally broke this stone. I held this piece of tiger's eye stone drum in both hands, and when I observed it closely, I found that the stone drum was intricately carved with various magic pattern arrays, and the symbols in these magic arrays were all I had never seen before, they were ancient and special, and they were very awkward to put together. It looks like there are no rules at all, but when they are put together, they form a special pattern.

I asked stupidly, "This thing." What's the use of me?"

Kig blinked and put his ear against my ear and said, "You try to manipulate the fire mana in your body. Slowly enter the stone drum and feel the difference. ”

I gathered the burning mana in my body to my fingertips according to what Kig said, and I knew that those were irascible fire magic elements. Originally, these irascible fire-based magic elements were very resistant to my temptation, but later, with the power of their delicate control, they were forcibly sent into the Tiger's Eye Stone Drum, and the simplest layer of magic patterns on the surface of the Tiger's Eye Stone Drum was immediately dyed with a layer of brilliant red color.

At this time, I was still holding the tiger's eye stone drum with one hand, and suddenly I felt a wave of heat spreading out of the stone drum.

"Whew!" Caterina's body next to me was pushed and swayed by the heatwave, and she was almost pushed down by the sudden heatwave, and she was busy holding my shoulders tightly with both hands to stabilize her body. The heat blew through the curtains on the balcony violently outside, and the room seemed to be swept by a strong wind, and the items were scattered all over the ground.

Kige stood a little farther away, covered his mouth in surprise, and looked at me with round eyes. There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

I wondered, "What's wrong with you, is there something wrong with this magic vessel?"

Qige jumped over and snatched the stone drum from my hand, looked at it carefully, and then said with great interest: "This is the tiger's eye stone drum, not some magic vessel. This is a totem that symbolizes the identity of the orc shaman, but it seems that I guessed correctly, this stone drum is indeed a totem of fire attributes. The first-order magic skill is actually 'Ring of Fire Resistance', which is very good. It's just a little bit powerful!"

Kuzi was able to stuff an apple in his mouth and said in surprise, "Jia." You can use the magic tools of the orc shaman!"

I said in my heart: What's so surprising about this, you don't know, in the caravan, old Kuru has already taught me the magic skills of the four beasts, what is there to make a fuss about if I can use the magic artifacts of the beasts?

Qi Ge played with the tiger's eye stone drum in his hand for a long time, and finally with a depressed face, he stuffed the tiger's eye stone drum into my hand, and said a little unwillingly: "Sure enough, I still can't, human magicians can't use the magic tools of the orc shamans, and I can't use this stone drum totem either!, but why can Jia?"

I looked at Kige a little speechless, and I didn't know how to explain it for a while. Could it be said that when I ate a burn out fruit and was not burned to death by fire poison, when those fire poisons were stored in my body and slowly corroded my body, my body gave birth to natural resistance, and later, those fire poisons were stored in my body in the form of fire elemental mana, and these mana from all over the body could be used to cast orc magic.

As for why I was able to unleash orc magic, it was because old Kuru had boldly guessed at the time that the magic power in my body did not belong to any of the three magician systems of the humans, orcs, and elves.

In such a coincidence, in order to be able to solve my problem from the pain of obtaining burns, old Kuru taught me the first magic "anti-magic", this magic is completely to burn the excessive fire element mana in the body, and then there is a "heating" that can increase proficiency by draining mana, and now my heating level has successfully crossed the threshold of level 5, and the magic recovery speed has increased by 50%, although the base is small, but this attribute is also very powerful. The third magic "Shadow Cloak" is completely my life-saving skill, and by chance, when I released the skill, I accidentally entered the deep meditation space, which strengthened the ability to cast spells without being interrupted by the outside world. The fourth magic "Fire Tongue Weapon", the additional damage of this fire attribute, has a little explosion damage effect, and when I hunted the demon antelope, I clearly found that this damage effect actually has a penetrating effect.

Why is Kuz so surprised? Because at this time, I have already touched the secret of the root of the orc magic skills, which is totem spells.

At the very beginning, after each shaman is recognized by the shaman's guild, he will get a stone drum like this in the guild according to his own strengths, and the orc shaman also calls this thing a totem, and these primary totems are usually divided into four types: the thick and solid earth element totem, the water element totem full of life vitality, the passionate and extremely irritable fire element totem, and the smart and light wind element totem. Usually the Grand Elder of the Shaman's Guild will issue different types of stone drum totems according to the different characteristics of each orc shaman. As for the stone drum that Qige obtained, it was completely to give Qige a psychological comfort, and everyone knew that such a totem was almost useless to a human magician who had awakened the magic pool. But they never expected that I would be able to control such a fire-type stone drum totem. (To be continued.) )
