Chapter 194: Quest Reward
There are mines and basins, rivers and lakes in the west, but the western prairie covers the most extensive area. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The western prairie has fertile land and countless rivers, and the Lake family has been grazing here for a living since ancient times.
Due to the mobility of grazing, there are few decent towns in the entire western prairie, except for the Black Sheep City, which is located on the shores of Lake Naxi.
This is a huge city, although the permanent population is only tens of thousands, but more than half of the cattle, sheep and goods on the western grassland are in transit here.
Every autumn, Black Sheep City will welcome countless merchants, and it is the most lively season. But this summer, at the invitation of the Black Sheep family, many businessmen advanced their trips because they were told that the Black Sheep family had spirits and toilet paper to sell.
Liquor and toilet paper have always been sold in Black Iron Town, but the production is limited, and the purchase of toilet paper is limited by the cunning merchant of Hawkeye Hank, and Black Iron Town is far away and the transportation cost is high.
So as soon as they heard that these two things could be bought in Black Sheep City, the merchants rushed over like flies that smelled the stench.
Spirits, although the taste is not as good as Liucui wine, is definitely strong, and the quality of the toilet paper of the Black Sheep family seems to be better than that of Black Iron Town, because they make seven or eight different flavors.
Thousands of pounds of liquor and dozens of truckloads of toilet paper were sold out in an instant, and Lance Lake, who was in charge of this matter, had a smile on his face.
He was the nephew of the old lord Oran Lake, and although he could not inherit a territory like his cousins, he earned a lot of gold by slaughtering cattle and sheep.
But he was not satisfied with this life, and although he had not killed a sheep by himself for many years, and his appearance was very glamorous, he always felt that someone was saying that he was just a butcher behind his back.
This time his uncle had a whimsical desire to make sake and toilet paper, and he gave him the task.
At first, he didn't believe that Orlan had such technology, after all, it was all Black Iron Town's stuff.
But when he distilled the spirit for the first time according to the recipe and process, the ecstasy in his heart even made him want to hold the vat for three days and three nights.
These are all gold coins, a few pennies and a pound of grain, you can sell a hundred times more money in a month, there is nothing more profitable in the world.
And toilet paper, too, Lance never imagined that high-grade toilet paper, which is as white as snow and exudes fragrance, would be made from ordinary broken fishing nets, discarded leather shoes and wheat straw.
It's ridiculous that those aristocrats still treat them as treasures and put them on the dining table at home, thinking that it is a fashion.
"Lord Lance, the goods have arrived this time. ”
When Lance, who was counting gold coins at home, heard this, he immediately felt that the paper mill was made, because he heard that the bleach he brought from Black Iron Town this time was the latest formula, and the paper made was whiter and more flexible, but it needed a special blend.
Lance felt that he should have something in his hands, otherwise his uncle would not let him take care of it if he was unhappy one day, and where would he find such a good place to make money?
The bleach mixture was written on a blank piece of paper, and Lance followed the procedure above, first pouring the yellow liquid into a glass bucket.
This glass bucket was still stolen from Black Iron Town, but what does it matter, Black Iron Town was owned by Black Sheep before winter, and now it is just used in advance.
He removed the sour stopper, and the pungent smell came out instantly.
There should be no problem, it smells similar to the previous bleach, which makes him even more reassured, it seems that it is just a real new formula, not that Renault has discovered the secret of their stealing.
Carefully pour the concentrated acid into it, and according to the instructions on the paper, you have to wait until it is stable and take a red-hot iron rod to do a test, and the one with a large number of bubbles is qualified.
He was a little anxious to get a red-hot iron rod and reach into the glass bucket.
The moment the iron rod came into contact with the liquid, the liquid inside exploded violently.
Lance and the few workers around him had no idea what was going on, and were torn apart by the heat and drafts.
The roof of the paper mill was lifted in an instant, and the simple walls were torn apart, and none of the workers inside were spared.
The loud bang almost shattered the sky, and the entire Black Sheep City could clearly feel the shaking of the earth.
A dozen of the Awoken rushed over as fast as they could, but in front of them was an almost charred flat ground, with some burnt minced meat scattered on the ground in the distance.
The paper mill occupies more than a dozen houses, what kind of power is it that allows them to be destroyed in an instant?
An emaciated old man arrived in a carriage, and he was the owner of the Westside Prairies, Oran Lake.
He glanced coldly at the scene, and then left in the carriage again.
You don't need to check to know that this must be Renault's ghost, and a little anger suddenly swelled up in Orangujing's eyes.
Even if it was revenge, Renault's methods were too ruthless, but fortunately, Orlan had a trick up his sleeve early and let his stupid nephew manage it, otherwise the loss would have been even greater this time.
Since something happened to the paper mill, the matter of the brewery must have been discovered by Renault as well.
The Orlan man is an old man who never underestimates his opponent, even if it is Renault, who has the title of "Fool Lord".
But would anyone who can make spirits and toilet paper really be a fool?
Orlan pondered for a moment in the carriage, although the explosion was only a little skin wound for him and Black Sheep City, but after all, killing his nephew, in addition to the superficial pacification work, a small revenge on Renault was also necessary.
Otherwise, everyone will think that he is too weak.
"Gather three thousand cavalry and go to the Tuk Basin. ”
The simple order was immediately and effectively executed, and Orlan had just returned to the dim and luxurious Lord's Mansion, and the three thousand iron horsemen had already left Black Sheep City.
They will board a boat at the huge pier of Naxi Lake and follow the Naxi River up to the Tuke Basin.
The Orlan's orders were clear, to burn houses, destroy crops, and try not to kill people.
After all, in his plan, after capturing Black Iron Town, he would definitely immediately annex the Tuke Basin. So let's keep all the people, or who will help him farm?
......
The trees in the compound of the city hall of Black Iron Town finally grew, and the giant trees that were more than ten meters high writhed their python-like bodies, opened their canopies for more than twenty meters, and were covered with emerald creepers, covering the entire octagonal building tightly.
In this midsummer night, the green leaves block the starlight, but it attracts countless high-priced summer insects.
The Iron Rooster also seemed to have found a more ideal resting place, abandoning the black whirlwind that had been with him all along, and flew alone to the top of the canopy.
Listening to the insects outside the window, a dense sound came from the corner of the living room, it was a small machine with a beautiful shape and a very high-tech sense - the oxygen concentrator, Renault's first mission reward. (To be continued.) )
