The investigation of the bells and drums proceeded very quickly, and before it was dark he turned the whole set of Guiliji around to find out the situation here.

Of course, Rimuru, the actual staff member and hidden clerk, strongly condemned this, after all, he was the one who recorded everything he saw and heard along the way, and even recorded some thoughts and notes in the heart of the bell and drum. Even with the help of the leyline's backend system, Rimuru was still running out of energy.

Therefore, when night fell, the young demon god and his dependents fell asleep early.

Outside, the Chinese New Year's Eve fork sat alone on the roof with his eyes closed, accompanied only by the moonlight on the return set.

After a night of silence, the next morning the group set off for the east and spent half a day on a beach.

"Why do you want to come to the beach, it's dangerous to touch sea beasts......"

Yingda was a little confused, she really didn't understand what salt had to do with the beach, although she wasn't afraid of sea beasts.

"Sister Yingda, let me ask you, do you think the Sea Clan needs salt?"

Zhong Gu smiled and asked Ying Da a question.

"Sea Clan...... It shouldn't be salt-free, right? After all, my lord, will the Sea Clan buy salt from the Salt God Tribe? ”

Finally intrigued by this question, she carefully recalled some details of her dealings with the salt of the earth, and finally said with certainty.

"I have the impression that the Sea Clan doesn't trade with the salt of the earth, so I don't think there should be any need for salt, right?"

"But isn't the sea salty too?"

A small voice interjected, but she didn't expect everyone to look at her, making her cheeks flush immediately.

"I, I, I...... Just casually, don't look at me like that......"

Ganyu obviously didn't want to be too conspicuous, as the youngest member of the immortals, she didn't have enough confidence and always seemed a little timid.

"Sister Ganyu is right, the sea water is indeed salty? It seems that Sister Ganyu is usually very careful. ”

Bell and drum old talkers, in the face of a newcomer like Ganyu who lacks confidence, he naturally wants to use words of high emotional intelligence to encourage.

"Where...... It's just that Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun before and liked to eat sea fish, and occasionally heard her mention it. ”

"It's like something Liuyun will do...... However, the sea water is salty, is it possible? ”

After all, some people guessed the purpose of the bell and drum, but they were not very sure, so they could only ask him with their eyes.

"Indeed, the fact that the sea water is salty proves that it contains salt. You think, they are all creatures, even red foxes and wild boars will look for mineral salt to lick and eat, and the creatures in the sea naturally need salt, but the salt is absorbed in the seawater. ”

Zhong Drum explained, and Ying Da's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he learned to answer.

"I understand, I understand, just like Lord Stove God cooks, the soup will become salty, and salt will be put in the seawater......"

When Yingda said this, he suddenly said angrily.

"The salt god is too favorite, right? It is too hateful to secretly put salt in the sea water to support the sea tribe, and to increase the price of our salt. ”

Everyone was embarrassed, and Zhong Gu could only say that sure enough, the fire elemental was quite strong...... Wait, why does he use "both"?

However, the destination has arrived, and the bell and drum pressed the complaint in his heart, and did not correct Yingda's thoughts.

"Now that we know there's salt in the sea, we just have to find a way to extract it."

"Extracting salt from seawater? If this is possible, the salt can be said to be inexhaustible...... Do you have a way to do that? ”

"Give it a try, it won't affect anything."

The bell drum stood on a tidal flat, which was not a completely sandy beach, and the bell and drum used the power of the rock element to quickly open a salt pond.

"Next, we have to find a way to bring in some seawater......"

"I'll do it."

Xiao said a word and went into the air, turning into the prototype of the Peng bird, and for a time the wind was fierce, fanning the sea water into the dug salt pool, and the bell and drum immediately sealed the mouth of the salt pond and prevented the sea water from returning to the sea.

"Xiao! Well done awesome! "It's a bit of a hairstyle that's a bit expensive.

Xiao still coolly returned behind the bell and drum, with no change on his face.

"Next, Sister Inducta, I'm going to trouble you to dry some of this seawater."

"Is it okay to dry the water? Small meaning~"

Yingda's temperament was also vigorous, and two pure flames immediately condensed from her hands and spewed violently towards the salt pool.

"Hm! Governess! Rimuru seemed to have some sense of evaporating the sea like this, and the bell and drum touched him soothingly.

"It's only an experimental phase now, and after that, we should still use seawater to dry salt...... Let's take a look at the effect today. ”

"M~"

Evaporating a pool of seawater was not too difficult for Oda, and the misty water vapor was rapidly transpiring and spreading, and the seashore seemed to be foggy.

And on a hill far away from the tidal flat, a group of people dressed completely different from Guiliji and Tianheng Mountain were looking at this side from afar.

"My lord, what are the people of the Retreat trying to do? That Lord Dust God has never agreed to our request to raise the price of salt, are we ......?"

"What is it? The demon god who has returned to the people, and the evil star of the rock king behind him, don't think crookedly to pull all of us to be buried together. ”

"But the priest's command......"

"The priest only ordered me to send an envoy to the Division to discuss the price of salt, and if the dust god does not agree, can I still force the other party to do so?"

This group of people is the envoy of the salt of the earth to return to the collection, but now it seems that there are obviously factions in this group of people, and the two main envoys and deputy envoys who speak do not belong to the same camp.

"Let's go back, since Lord Dust doesn't want to see us, we don't have to waste any more time, Lord Priest wants to increase the price of salt, then mention it, anyway, the salt production is in his hands......"

The envoy didn't entangle with the deputy envoy too much, and left first with his subordinates, not caring about the eyes of the deputy envoy.

It's just that although these people are standing far away, they don't know that their conversations have all fallen on the ears of the bell and the end, and the two demon gods glanced at each other, showing an expression of watching the show together.

"Sister Inductor, you can stop."

"Okay."

The temperature of the flame in Yingda was extremely high, and although the sea water was not completely dried up, it was still boiling, and even the surrounding areas of the salt pit were burned due to the high temperature, producing some transparent crystals, which made the bells and drums stunned.

"It seems that there is still an unexpected gain, I can't imagine that the flames driven by the fire elemental power are so powerful."

"Oh? Do you have any ideas? ”

In the end, when he saw Zhong Gu's expression like that of a cat seeing a fish, he immediately knew what idea he had in mind.

"Haha, let's talk about it later, let's go see the results first, Sister Ganyu, please lower the temperature of the salt pond?"

"Okay, okay."

Ganyu released the ice elemental power a little slowly, and an ice lotus condensed above the salt pool, and the boiling sea water gradually calmed down.

"It's okay, it's okay, we don't have to let the water freeze anymore, let's go and see ......"

When the group came to the edge of the salt pond, they saw that under the shallow pool water, a layer of white salt crystals had been evenly spread, and the fine texture made people feel comfortable at a glance.

"It's salt! It's really salt! ”
