Chapter Seventy-Three: Papermaking

There is a large area of giant sequoia forest in the eastern part of the gladiatorial arena of Tequila Island, and on one of the tallest giant sequoia trees, many white dragon eggs like silkworm cocoons are hanging at this moment.

After Green took Sam, Lannister, and Douglas to carry the iron cage with the multi-tailed nylon to the clearing under the giant tree, he said to Maggie, who was wearing a colorful green dress, "Are you ready?"

Maggie nodded with a tense little face, and in front of her was an even larger, multi-tailed nylon in an iron cage.

This is the leader of every multi-tailed nylon tribe - the queen of dragons.

Compared to other common multi-tailed nylons, the queen is more than twice as large, and the two pairs of wide wings look even more colorful.

"Don't be so nervous! everyone is nearby and can definitely keep you safe. Green laughed a few words with the little girl, and when she saw that Maggie had finally relaxed, she stepped aside and shouted, "Come on, Maggie, it's up to you next." ”

As Green's words fell, Maggie began to dance in her beautiful colorful dress, while on the other side, the Lannister's Broken Tail Dragon shook its crest of its fins and let out a soothing chirp.

That's how Nebel came up with taming the multi-tailed nylons after returning: mimicking their penchant for dancing in the air during courtship to gain the favor of the dragon queen, while having the tail-tailed dragon send soothing signals to soothe their emotions, and the dragon eggs in the trees to reduce the hostility of the multi-tailed nylons.

As Maggie danced the wide sleeves of her coat, the restless multi-tailed nylons in several iron cages gradually calmed down, and the nearest dragon queen even stuck her head out of the cage to watch.

Sensing that the time was ripe, Green quietly pulled the lock on the iron cage, and the dragon queen who had regained her freedom did not immediately fly to Maggie's side, but instigated her colorful wings to fly to the tall giant sequoia tree.

When it flew into the bushes to inspect it, and found that none of the dragon eggs were damaged, the relieved dragon queen flew to Maggie's side and danced with her......

Noticing that the multi-tailed nylons released one after another did not attack Maggie, Green couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he waved his hand at the little girl under the cedar tree from a distance, and then led everyone to the side.

"Green, I just noticed that quite a few multi-tailed nylons have burns on their bodies, and once Maggie has tamed them completely, can we help them heal?" Sam took the pen and Ben and got out of the grass on one side.

"No problem, but I'll leave this task to Lenny. ”

The Lannister, who was walking back with the Broken Tail Dragon, nodded with a wry smile when he heard Green's words and said, "I found that I am really about to become a dragon priest now." ”

"Hehe, I don't think you're a priest, you're more of a paladin. Green said with a smile and wagging his finger.

Paladin?Templar?Lannister shook his head in confusion.

Angrily slapped a shovel of dragon dung into the barrel, Albi finally couldn't help but burst out, "Damn, we're obviously here to learn how to be a dragon knight! ”

"What can you do then?" said another young man with a slightly immature face and a somewhat similar appearance to Douglas, "Do you still want to give up?"

Giving up, thinking that if he went back, his father would definitely be furious, Albi's anger that had just been stored up suddenly dissipated half.

He reluctantly dropped the shovel in his hand, and then said with a sad face, "Dodge, I really don't want to deal with dragon dung all day! I heard that your brother is also on Dragon Tongue Island now, and he has also become a dragon knight, can we go and beg him to teach us the real art of dragon training?"

Dodge shook his head without even thinking about it and said, "My father didn't allow me to see him, and although I am brothers to him, we don't know each other. ”

After hearing Dodge's answer, Albi was stunned for a long time before exclaiming, "Berserkers are really all perverts!"

"I heard that there are still people who have been assigned to move bricks on the construction site, I think the two of us are still content, at least the work we do now is related to dragons. And you see, over there, a girl has never complained, we can't even be inferior to a girl. Dodge said as he pointed to the girl in black who was feeding the stone chewing dragon in another dragon stable.

"Uh," Albi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Do you know this girl?"

"She's the shield warrior who always doesn't say a word next to Her Royal Highness the princess-Freya, you can't even see it now, right?"

“......”

As soon as Green and Pipsqueak entered the arena, they saw Anne and Maria holding two little fairy dragons, pouting their little buttocks, head to head, standing there biting their ears.

When the two of them found themselves walking in, they immediately pretended not to say anything and ran away, which made Green scratch his head a little puzzled, is there any little secret that can't be heard?

But he didn't think much of it, Maria appeared, and it seemed that Princess Victoria must have come again.

In a newly built workshop outside the Colosseum, Victoria was watching intently as the women of Tequila spread the pulp out on the wooden board to dry, and when she saw Green walk in, she immediately said happily, "Green, did you invent this papermaking technique as well?"

"This... I didn't invent it, but Sam found it in an old book. After greeting the busy clansmen, Green walked over to Princess Victoria's side and whispered.

Due to the recent increase in the amount of paper used on Tequita, it was obvious that the costly and inexpensive sheepskins that had been made in the past were not suitable, so Green taught the inhabitants of Tequila the "new" art of papermaking.

Raw materials such as bark, hemp, rags, and fishing nets that were not used in the past are soaked or steamed in lime water to degum and disperse into fibers, and then broken into pulp, and then the pulp is soaked into a slurry, and new paper can be obtained after being fished out and dried with a paper grager.

This method of making paper is not only very common in raw materials, but also very simple in process, and the women of Tequila have mastered it in a short time. Although the paper made today is somewhat yellow and coarse, this method of making paper is amazed by all who have seen it compared to the sheepskin paper of the past.
