Hiking in the desert at more than fifty degrees Celsius during the day is undoubtedly a very painful thing.

Even the Kalinshan people, accustomed to the desert heat, drink almost half a jug of water every hour, occasionally pouring a little on their heads and bodies to cool down, to make sure they don't fall into a coma from dehydration and heat stroke.

In less than five hours, more than 280 litres of water were consumed.

And that's about the same as the weight of a camel.

That is, in just one afternoon, the caravan drank four barrels with a capacity of 70 liters and turned a camel from "fully loaded" to "unloaded".

What's even more outrageous is that the real water guzzlers, the camels, haven't started drinking yet.

Although, under extreme conditions, these "ships of the desert" can go from two weeks to a month without drinking water.

But doing so will cause them to lose their physical strength and weight-bearing capacity, and even to die of exhaustion and illness.

Therefore, the camels of the caravan are normally fed almost a liter of water every day to ensure that their physical strength does not have problems.

This means that 1,000 camels alone consume 1,000 litres of water per day.

It's definitely a lot of pressure on logistics.

When it gets dark and the whole caravan is set up in place, ready to eat something and go to bed......

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as they watched the soldiers and the little werewolves take out a huge barrel from the dimensional pouch and unscrew a silver jug and pour water into it.

The kettle, which was almost the size of an adult man's palm, was so stunned that it filled the entire wooden barrel.

Later, a tent was taken out to surround the wooden basin, and a candlestick with the two-ring magic [Immortal Flame] attached to it was also placed in the tent.

When all this was done, Zuo Sicai got up and walked in, stripped naked and soaked in cold water to take a bath.

Bathing in the middle of the desert with clean water?!

Not to mention the slaves, civilians and mercenaries who were stunned.

Even Bernard, who was born in a wealthy merchant family, opened his mouth wide in shock and couldn't close it for a long time.

"This ...... That's too extravagant, isn't it? The orc warrior Ritter couldn't help but exclaim.

As a person who had traveled with caravans through the Karlin Desert more than once, he had seen many quirks of wealthy merchants and nobles, such as the need to eat fresh meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables every day.

But this is the first one to set up a tent in the middle of the desert and bathe in clean water.

Although Ritter knew that his strange little master had powerful magical powers, he never expected that the other party would be able to play such ingenious tricks.

"That's the [Endless Kettle]! A magical item that permanently connects to the Hydro Plane. It sells for 5,360 gold in Port Carlin! ”

A mercenary gave the name of the little kettle in a slightly trembling voice, and its daunting price.

"What? More than 5,000 gold coins? Just to buy a kettle that can pour unlimited water? The world is crazy! The other mercenary couldn't help but complain.

Obviously, for those of them who lick blood and exchange their lives for money, this kind of behavior of "spending a lot of money" on expensive magic items just for a little convenience is simply "extravagant" to the extreme,...

Not to mention the unheard of thing like bathing in clean water in the desert.

"At least we don't have to worry about fresh water reserves running out too quickly, do we?" The corners of Bernard's mouth twitched in defense of Zuo Si.

The mercenary captain first licked his somewhat dry lips, and immediately nodded thoughtfully: "That's right! It seems that we can open up water to everyone, including those slaves and camels. And once there is enough water replenishment, even if the caravan travels sixty kilometers a day, it will not be too much of a problem. ”

"But I still can't understand why it costs more than 5,000 gold coins to solve a problem that can be solved by spending dozens of gold coins."

"Same! I don't understand it either. But this does not prevent me from envy and jealousy, and I also hope that one day I can be so rich and willful. ”

"Hahahaha! It's up to you? Stop dreaming! As far as I know, you always go to the tavern to drink the cheapest beer, and you can't even order a glass of wine for five copper coins. ”

"Cut! You don't understand! Only by saving in this way can you save enough money to go back to your hometown and get married. ”

……

Just when these mercenaries were arguing with each other, chatting and farting, Zuo Si, who was a little clean, had already washed the dust and grit off his body, changed into a set of civilian clothes and walked out of the tent.

As a modern man, his pursuit of good food and personal hygiene has long been a habit ingrained in his bones.

As long as conditions permit, I will take a shower and brush my teeth at least once a day.

Even when living in the Tower of the Floating City, this is no exception.

Since the sun had already set, the temperature in the surrounding environment was dropping rapidly, and there were only about 20 degrees left.

Therefore, Zuo Si didn't feel any discomfort even if he put away the [Frozen Pearl], except that the air was a little dry, and the fine sand and gravel would fly around with the wind.

Without any hesitation!

He directly unscrewed the [Endless Water Kettle] and poured a large amount of water on the ground, until the moisture content in the air increased significantly, and the grit was wet and could no longer fly.

After all this was done, he threw the kettle in his hand to Bernard and instructed, "Take it and replenish the slaves and hired civilians with enough water, and by the way, a simple scrub of the body." In this way, we can ensure that they do not get sick and tired to the greatest extent. ”

"What do you mean...... Give this expensive magical item directly to those slaves? ”

Bernard's eyes widened, barely believing what he was hearing.

Naturally, there is no need to say anything about the Karinfir who practiced slavery.

If a slave owner gives magic items to his slaves, he puts himself in the same position as a slave.

Not only will you be ridiculed by everyone, but you will also be excluded by the circle you are in.

In comparison, the business empire Amm is slightly better.

But any family with a little background will also establish strict rules.

Servants are never allowed to eat at the same table as their masters, or to touch expensive objects such as magical objects, paintings, sculptures, etc.

And think that it is an offense and insult to the master by a servant.

But Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: "That's right! Anyway, if a magic item like the [Endless Water Bottle] that has no limit on the number of times it can be used is not fully used, then what is the point of its existence? ”

Identity?

Class?

Status?

He doesn't care about that.

As a traveling mage, there are only two things that Zuo Si really cares about, and that is knowledge and power.

The former can help him better understand and recognize the complex multiverse, and the latter is a necessary means to ensure his own security.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

As for what the "upper class" such as aristocrats and wealthy businessmen think of themselves......

Zuo Si felt that as long as he was strong enough, even if he wore a tattered and patched beggar suit at the banquet, he would be touted as a "trend", and rude eating would be interpreted as "bold" and "informal".

In short, the strong are always privileged.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Ilminster, the First Chosen Chosen of the Goddess of Magic, the Great Sage of the Valley of Shadows, who is said to be one of the most powerful spellcasters in all of Feron.

With his eccentric temper and personality, he doesn't look like a likable guy at all.

But even so, there are still a large number of people who are tirelessly touting it.

Merchants would even make up all kinds of stories, borrowing the old man's fame to rub the heat and promote their own goods.
