Chapter 108: Oasis

In any case, Ye Zhiqiu, as a mercenary, successfully integrated into the White Camel Mountain Chamber of Commerce, no longer in the company of lowly and filthy slaves, but owned a simple tent alone, and even had a maid who was physically mature and looked good.

This is probably some kind of compensation from the caravan owner Oak, or a means to win over senior mercenaries, Ye Zhiqiu did not refuse, nor did he want to refuse, so he accepted it happily, and at the same time received ten jars of wine that were easy to store, all of which were replaced by him with highly sealed sheepskin bags and refilled.

As for the ten extra terracotta wine jars, they were exchanged by Ye Zhiqiu, and two young slaves were bought from the caravan accountant.

This kind of business mind to make the best use of things tickles the heart of the caravan owner Oak, and the more he looks at Ye Zhiqiu, the more pleasing he feels. Of course, if he hadn't nodded in agreement, the caravan accountant wouldn't have agreed to exchange two little slaves for ten terracotta wine jars, which would have been too cheap.

In ordinary supply point oases, slave auction conferences, untrained little slaves are not worth a few dollars, and usually when the owner has a whim, they are cut off and used to feed their favorite pet beasts, such as the lion of the king of beasts, the swift predator sand leopard, the overlord of the desert steppe, the burrowing bear, and so on.

Ye Zhiqiu's explanation is that these two female ** subordinates with unopened bodies have the potential to practice joyful yoga, and proper recuperation and teaching will train them to become the best priests of the god of love.

The caravan boss Oak didn't understand, but his scholars were stunned, feeling like a sharpshooter/scud/swordsman/mercenary from the East?? Mr. Fallen Leaves in late autumn is terrible, not only does he know the yoga of the body poison country, but he is also familiar with the priestly inheritance of the Olympian Temple.

Avatar, a scholar who is proficient in geometry, ballistics, and trigonometric functions, suddenly felt that Ye Zhiqiu was unfathomable, and then thought about it, and felt that his mouth was empty, thinking that he was talking about it, so he calmed down, did not take it seriously, and had no intention of reporting it to the caravan boss at all.

Therefore, before the end of the short rest, the White Camel Mountain Chamber of Commerce thoroughly digested the spoils left over from the defeat of the charcoal burning party bandits, thirteen steel chariots, seven of which were disassembled into parts by wrenches, collected coal and water, and evenly distributed to the remaining six steel chariots.

Then, the caravan set out again, and before the sun slid down the horizon, it reached an oasis of supply points, the Oasis of Moon Bay.

Since the White Camel Mountain caravan was a pack beast and a steel steam chariot, no one dared to disturb them along the way, and it even caused some hostility and vigilance when they arrived at the oasis.

Fortunately, the caravan boss Oak came forward in person, and his face and connections were still very useful, especially after explaining the origin of these war monsters, and the fact that he would auction off the whole vehicle and sell a large number of parts and components, he immediately won the praise of the owner of the oasis and his peers who were looking for business opportunities at the supply point.

Thirteen steel steam chariots, this will be a feast of carving up that affects the balance of order, destroys the rules based on strength, and redistributes benefits.

The White Camel Mountain Chamber of Commerce will receive a large amount of money, and the owners and managers of the oasis will definitely buy at least three steel steam chariots as the hole cards for the oasis owners to enhance their voice, and they will not lack coal and water in their hands to feed and drive these war beasts to provide them with additional force protection.

At the same time, some parts have to be purchased, after all, no one can guarantee that these steel steam chariots will continue to fight, and the ubiquitous wind and sand in the desert has always been one of the biggest hidden dangers that affect the strength of the war beasts.

Another hidden danger is the oxidative rust of metals, especially in warm and humid oasis areas, metal products tend to accelerate corrosion, even large steel parts, can not withstand the wear of time.

Due to the big business brought by the owner of the White Camel Mountain caravan, Oak, the entire caravan was arranged to be stationed in the best location of the Moon Bay Oasis, the Xianyue Lake, and the resplendent "palace" ushered in a new owner, although it was a temporary residence for a few days, but this kind of treatment was only deserved by the princes and nobles of the desert.

It can be seen from this that Oak, who brought wealth to everyone, received what kind of courtesy, it was simply the king of Jade Toe who came here and enjoyed the supreme position.

After Ye Zhiqiu learned the details, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's as short as one day and one night, and no matter how long it is, it's only two or three days." This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary chamber leaders can enjoy, and it has exceeded the rules of the desert. It's just that everyone was blinded by the glittering golden light of wealth, so they acquiesced, and there will definitely be no one to spread it, and they are not afraid of the nobles being held accountable. ”

Knowing the inside story but not opening his mouth, Ye Zhiqiu is not a minority who does not know the world and is incompatible with the mainstream of society, so he wisely kept silent, and began to summon the maid and the two girl slaves in the tent to wash away the dirt on his body.

The water in the oasis is rationed, and it costs money to use every drop, and everyone has a quota, which is still just the treatment of ordinary people. As for the servants and slaves, they did not have any right to use water, they were like goods, even lower than livestock.

So, Ye Zhiqiu saw two young girl slaves, digging moist sand and coating their bodies by the lake, drying them close to the fire, and then carefully peeling them off to take away most of the dirt and sweat stains. The maid then collected the fat dripping from the barbecue, smeared it all over the slaves' bodies, including the unnutritious and sparse yellow hair, and then used a sharp spatula to shave all the body hair off the two teenage slaves.

After Ye Zhiqiu watched the whole story, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's quite interesting! It is said that at the Olympia Games a long, long time ago, the participating athletes would be covered with thick olive oil, and even if they fell to the ground and were contaminated with sand and mud, as long as they were gently hung with a wooden scraper, they would be clean." ”

The maid and the two maiden slaves, listening to the new master's gossip and jokes, were fascinated by the exotic atmosphere contained in it. It is said that distance produces beauty, and the gap between the times arouses curiosity, and they are no exception, especially since the new masters are mercenaries from the East, and they are not like the men in the desert, who regard them as lowly goods.

It's time for dinner! The food that was distributed to Ye Zhiqiu's tent was a pile of roasted meat, and a stack of unleavened dough. The former tastes good, and the latter is like a stone, Ye Zhiqiu has a hard time gnawing it, and after barely taking a bite, his mouth is dry.

When he saw that the jug was boiling, he simply crumpled the dough and threw it in, and it didn't take long for the dough to be boiled fragrant, and a can of dough soup was baked.

"Tasted good, slightly almost meaty. Ye Zhiqiu scooped out a little with a long-handled ladle, tasted some in small bites, and had no salty taste, and when he saw the oily barbecue, he quickly cut some and threw it in.

When they came down, the noodle soup without oil and salt became rich and colorful, and the maid and the two maiden slaves ate the meaty pastry soup, and tears flowed from their eyes.
