Chapter 44: Change of Mind
The demonstration of the use of the camera frightened the high-ups of the spotted hyena people as expected.
Especially the silver reflector, the moment the explosion appeared, several orcs jumped up in fright, looking at the personnel who were operating with nervous expressions.
However, the two little bosses who volunteered to take pictures of Jesse Fer and the others still put their middle fingers and index fingers up with a smug face, forming a big "V" gesture, calmly waiting for the camera's exposure time to end.
"What a stupid posture!" was Queen Pabbi's only thought after her fright. She couldn't understand why those two idiots were making such stupid gestures.
In fact, not only the queen, but even the female Chu Shou in the summoning space was puzzled, and she was even more surprised that the two spotted hyena people little leaders were self-taught.
"What was that just now!?" Calleby was the first to question the small explosion, if it weren't for Jessefer's repeated emphasis on this process before filming, he would have been mentally prepared, he would have flown over with an axe and nailed Aite to the ground.
This is also the opinion of the other orcs, but they don't have the courage of Calabi, and in the small explosion just now, they were more frightened than reacted, so they didn't do anything too dangerous.
"Don't worry, my lord, it's just a flash. Jessefer calmly replied, "It will make the photo clearer." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, don't look at the loud voice, it's not a big deal!" the two little leaders hurriedly agreed.
The two little leaders were also startled by this thing at first, so at this time, seeing so many high-ranking people in the tribe also frightened by the flash effect, they couldn't help but feel a little refreshed in their hearts - hehe, those bravest and most powerful warriors are nothing more than that.
Under this psychological effect, the two small leaders interjected unfreely, instinctively wanting to show off their courage in front of everyone.
"Mouthy!" Queen Papbi, who had been looking at the two silly hats unpleasantly, had finally seized her chance. "I didn't let you speak!"
In normal times, Queen Pabi might have killed these two fools directly, and even the lower punishment would have relegated them to a lower caste, but now the situation is a little inappropriate.
Because these two idiots seem to be the only ones best suited to operate this weird thing called a camera - after all, only these two know a little about the camera so far, and the others don't know anything about it.
Queen Pabi wanted to do something wrong to these human merchants, but she really couldn't bear that good thing, and she could only hope that the two fools would learn the art of photography.
But...... Thinking of this, Queen Pabi couldn't help but sigh heavily in her heart, orcs hate to study. Even she is the same, not to mention those two subordinates, it will probably take a lot of time for those two stupid things to learn to take pictures, right?
"Is the picture ready?" Queen Pabi couldn't wait to ask the human merchants as soon as she saw the strange ritual end.
"No, it's just a rubber soler, we need to put it on the photo paper, which takes about two solar hours. Jesse replied respectfully.
"So long?" said the Queen, frowning.
"It's not really much. Because we brought 20 pieces of photographic paper this time, if we used up all at once, we would only use two solar hours for 20 photos, which would be much faster than the portrait. Jessefer carefully explained to the Queen.
"Twenty sheets, are you running out of them?" said Queen Pabby, who was more concerned about the news. If this is true, then if you want to use a camera in the future, you will have to wait for the supply of this human merchant. In this way, wouldn't the plan they had discussed before to kill people and sell goods fall through?
There is a concern in the heart. Queen Pabi turned her gaze to Borg to hear what he had to say.
Borg sensed the Queen's gaze and knew her intentions. So he quietly said to the human merchants, "Then you guys should get that picture out quickly." ”
"This ......," said Jessefer embarrassed, "we need a dark room with no light and a little clean water." ”
The camera's entire set of equipment had been installed in the space given to her by the girl who called herself Alexander, including equipment for developing the photographs.
It was also the first time that Jesse Fer and the others had seen a safety lamp that could light without magic and just with a strange thing called a battery, and they had to marvel at the magic of dwarven technology again.
As for the configuration of the inexplicable developing concentrate, it was naturally made by Aite according to the instructions.
...... In fact, the whole process was almost handled by Aite, and of course, other curious people also helped.
"No problem, I'll leave this to you. Listening to Jessefer's words, Queen Pabbi immediately agreed, and gave the task to the two subordinates.
Queen Pabbi knew that Borg didn't really mean to let the human traders develop the photos, he just wanted to delay the humans and then take the opportunity to make his own opinion. At this point, Queen Pabi suddenly felt a little glad - the two stupid little bosses were at least somewhat useful.
When Jesse and the others were sent away by their subordinates, Queen Pabby looked at Borg and asked, "What's your opinion?"
"Your Majesty, I think we should have a good relationship with these people, not kill them. Borg thought calmly and said slowly.
"You are a mother-in-law, and you have changed your mind again, your position and belief are not firm! There is definitely a problem!" At this time, Kalebi, who was on the side, stood up again and raised an objection, "According to what I said, these human beings are extremely treacherous, and you can see that they have no good intentions, so it is better to kill them!"
Borg frowned and said coldly, "Kill them, what's the benefit of killing them?"
Before meeting with the human traders, Queen Pabi had the soldiers search them, and now they couldn't find anything more valuable than a few large tents, planks, and lighting stones.
Of course, under Jessifer's clever bribery and the horror of the disease, the soldiers' search for the bodies of those girls was also quite sloppy, so Jessefer was able to get away with it and not be revealed as a daughter.
In fact, this female Chu Shou had already prepared, when she asked Jesse Fu to play a man, it was so that she could one day appear as a man like this to confuse the enemy, so Chu Shou naturally prepared some small props for Jesse Fu to facilitate her use when she played.
"Those magicians' magic tools don't do much for us, on the contrary, if we really want to do it, we will lose something, but the gains outweigh the losses. "But the picture of that camera is useful." ”
"What's the use!?isn't it just a few paintings!?" retorted angrily, "just find some artists!"
"No, it's different, if we have these pictures, we can exchange them for some supplies with other human traders, I'm sure humans will love this. Think about it, twenty photos, with the greed of a human merchant, it is estimated that one photo can be exchanged for a pound of iron, and we don't need so many gems to exchange. Borg smiled sinisterly, "Besides, I've thought of a way to make those pigs' heads suffer." ”
The Spotted Hyena tribe is not located in a bonanza area, their methods are backward, and their gem production is very limited, so they also make a living by looting. However, for such a large tribe, in addition to self-sufficiency and looting, trade also accounts for a large part of their material reserves.
High-quality iron tools and a variety of food and medicine are indispensable to the life of the orc tribe, so the orcs have to trade with them despite their hostility to humans. (To be continued!)
