The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes
Chapter 12: parting soon
When Charles and Hongye came to the hotel to report the next morning, they found that it was almost a battlefield.
A space was cleared out of the parking lot behind the hotel, and a huge pot was placed in the middle. This pot put Charles in and simmered without pressure. A cheerful flame danced on the wood under the pot, and white steam was constantly emerging from the pot.
Around the pot are five long tables like petals, and beside the tables are baskets and wooden barrels filled with various medicinal herbs. Each table is numbered from 1 to 5, and the corresponding baskets and barrels are tied with cloth strips of different colors.
Not far from the well, several barrels and people were waiting there.
Chef Tonyo, veterinarian Phil, and many people from the caravan cut the medicinal herbs at the long table together, and then put the chopped medicinal herbs into the corresponding baskets and wooden barrels for later use.
At this time, Halkara was wearing a blue long-sleeved overalls, with a white apron in front of her, and her waist-length golden hair was **** and tied behind her head.
"Is the red table No. 1 ready?" Halcala didn't think that everyone else could know the names of those herbs. If anyone got the wrong type of herbs, it would be a big problem, so she thought of this way. Directing people to feed.
"Ready!" Tonio replied loudly.
"The second table is red?"
"Ready!"
After confirming that all the medicinal materials were ready, Halcala waved, "No. 1 red, come on!"
Keane, who was beside the huge pot, immediately cast a spell, blowing away the flames beside the pot with a gust of wind, and then Tonio rushed up with the basket and poured the medicinal ingredients into the pot.
Haalkala, who was standing downwind, smelled the medicinal herbs wafting out of the pot, and ordered Phil at table two to pour the first basket into it, followed by tables three and four.
At this time, Halkara was like a general, instructing everyone to pour various medicinal materials and water into the pot at different times.
After working for almost an hour, after a few people added a few buckets of water, Horatio covered the pot with a huge wooden board that could be used as a table, and then took out a lot of wood from the bottom of the pot and extinguished it.
At this moment, Halkara announced: "Everyone rest for an hour, and the filling team is ready."
This pot of medicine consumed about one-third of the medicinal materials, and Halkara took advantage of this time to check the order of the medicinal materials for the second pot of medicine.
When the time came, the flame under the pot was extinguished.
Someone put a small table beside the pot and stood up, lifted the lid and scooped out the steaming potion into a clean wooden barrel.
Then someone carried away the wooden barrel full of potions, and poured the potions into ceramic vials the size of thumbs on another long table.
Charles helped to plug the cork with wax on the mouth of the bottle, and finally the person who cooked the wax on the side would seal the bottle with molten wax.
In the days that followed, Charles, like the rest of the caravan, drank a bottle of this stuff every fortnight.
Looking at the green potion, Charles knew that this was his destiny.
The last medicinal dregs were fished out and piled aside to cool, because these medicinal dregs were about to become feed for the draught horses.
Immediately afterwards, Hal Kara began to instruct everyone to make the second pot of potion.
From this day on, the people of the caravan began to do their own work.
Aubrey sells the draw horse that is no longer suitable for pulling carts, and then buys a new draw horse with Phil.
A draught horse called Parma produced on the savannah is the strongest draught horse on the continent, and the heaviest can reach a ton. They have strong endurance, are not picky eaters, and are not easy to get sick. They are the best draught horses for folk teams.
Although the subterranean dragons commonly used by the army have high combat effectiveness, their survivability on the battlefield is much higher than that of horses. But they are too difficult to serve, and they are not easy to supplement. The most important thing is that they eat too much. Under the same conditions, the consumption of feed per 100 kilometers is much higher than that of horses. Therefore, they can only be used by the army, and when the caravans use them, they are waiting to be eaten and poor.
Elizabeth is in charge of the sales and purchase of the caravan's goods. She directly negotiated with the bosses in the chamber of commerce, and quickly negotiated the goods to be sold and purchased. The empty part of the truck was also filled with goods from several dwarven artisans. Because the next stop is a place with a strong military atmosphere, those weapons and armors will not be sold.
After Phil bought the draw horses, he helped the two guards choose new war horses, and then went around the city to buy concentrate.
Anthony took Charles to buy food in the city as well. This time, with the help of Hongye, and Charles had a good face here, they bypassed the middlemen in the city in just one day and then went to the nearby village to buy all the food. Food such as jerky required. Since there are very few oats here, corn is purchased as a substitute.
The other members also do some private work in their free time, pick up some interesting items in the market, put them in their luggage, and then sell them when they go to other places.
Charles originally planned to sell the necklace made of the wolf's magic core, but now it has been hung on Hong Ye's neck.
And Cromwell, who called himself a bard, said "I'm going to collect wind" after entering the city and disappeared.
Then everyone could meet him in the tavern every night playing the concertina and singing.
He is not an employee of the caravan, but a passenger who travels with the caravan after paying for the ticket.
It is very dangerous to travel far these days, and there are endless beasts and bandits along the way. Most people who travel alone will choose to let a large caravan on the way to take them to their destination, and the caravan will let people vouch for the passengers, otherwise who knows if you are a robbery spy.
Some adventurers will also buy tickets to follow the caravan. If there is danger on the way and they need to take action, the caravan will free the ticket and pay.
So there are two coaches in this caravan for these people to ride.
Sometimes small caravans will seek shelter from large caravans on some dangerous roads, and the two sides will exchange some commercial information at the same time.
Because Cromwell was guaranteed by Elizabeth, he sometimes helped the caravan to do some things, so he was quite popular in the caravan.
For example, last night, a young green-skinned woman who was conquered by Cromwell's singing in the tavern chased Cromwell to the hotel, and then the members of the caravan kindly told Cromwell's room number took her.
In the end, Cromwell slipped away from the third floor window in a disheveled manner.
The day when the caravan set off was coming. On the afternoon before the departure, Hongye rode a borrowed horse and took Charles to the grassland in the north.
and then stabbed it...
Oh, of course it wasn't Charles who stabbed.
The sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind and grass are low to see slimes.
Hongye stabbed a nearby slime to death.
There are many small rivers and streams in the maple forest that flow from south to north to the grassland.
More than 300 years ago, the orcs were pure nomads. After a year of drought, a large number of victims were far away from the maple forest.
At this time, Philip, the priest of the Harvest Temple, and two sisters came here.
In the next five years, he taught the orcs who have been grazing for generations to reclaim wasteland on the edge of the maple forest to cultivate pastures and drought-tolerant grains in rotation, and cultivate wild vegetables on the grassland. Raise chickens in moderation, and use farmyard manure to improve soil fertility.
He also led everyone to dig a rammed wall to resist the monsters on the grassland, and turned the soil pit into a pond to store the summer rainwater, the spring snowmelt and the river water flowing from the maple forest.
At the same time he worked with the craftsmen here to make the best plow so far, and later with the orcs to light up the parchment technique.
Five years later, when the great sage and two sisters who were consecrated by the Harvest Temple left, the orcs here stepped into a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural era with one toe. In the following time, the model of the corn city and its surrounding farms was popularized in the north of Fenglin. One by one, the tribes began to establish settlements in the north of Fenglin, and then according to the plan left by the great sage, they built a road that traverses the east and west.
In the north of Sumi City, there is a large lake that was turned into a mud pit left when the Sumi City was built to build walls and walls. I don't know since when, the small river flowing out of the maple forest brought a lot of edible fish, and then these fish lived in this lake, which was called "North Lake" by the locals. down.
The parting was imminent, Hongye didn't say anything to Charles, but brought him here to eat grilled fish.
(=^ェ^=)???????(??ω??)
ˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇˇ﹌?﹌ˇˇˇˇˇˇ
Hongye and Charles stood together on the grass by the lake. Hongye sprinkled a handful of corn on the lake, attracting a group of fish to grab it. Then Charles threw the biggest fireball he could throw right now, and after a "boom", several fish were blown over their stomachs.
It's nice that this place doesn't ban fried fish.
In this world, spices are also luxury goods. Almost all tropical spices are monopolized by the elves in the south. Sometimes there is no place to buy them if you have money.
Fortunately, there are many wild onions and thyme in the local area. At noon, Hongye went to the south maple forest to pick a lot of fresh maple leaves. So after the two disemboweled the fish, they stuffed some wild onions in the fish's belly, then smeared it with a little salt, then wrapped it in maple leaves, wrapped it with a layer of mud, and finally threw it into the fire.
There is a huge salt lake on the north side of the prairie, and there is no shortage of salt on the prairie.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the fiery red sunset slowly climbed up to the sky.
The two sat side by side by the fire, and Hongye once again told Charles about things to pay attention to when going out in the wild. Although she knew it herself, these experiences on the prairie might not necessarily apply in the South.
When the two finished eating the grilled fish, the sun had already set, and it was completely dark.
Not long after, two green light spots appeared in the grass.
Then these spots of light grew more and more, and finally surrounded them both.
