My Magic Age

"Son of Kurad, what do you think of my question?" Mayana raised his stacked eyelids and sat cross-legged on the cowhide mat. A gust of night wind blew over and scattered his white hair. He leaned his skinny and hunched body towards the bonfire to keep himself warmer. His eyes fell on the fire-gathering scroll under the iron pot again, looking at the small square piece of magic antelope skin that had been slightly curled by the hot flames, and the dim magic lines on the parchment. Telling that his mission is coming to an end.

Yes, this is a magic scroll that has been used repeatedly for five days, burning every sunset until midnight. The magic pattern array has become blurry. I don't know what Meiana is thinking about and is so lost in thought. Kurtz on the side was a little nervous. In the Grudin tribe, every elderly wise man would be respected by the orcs. Kurtz glanced at me uneasily again. Seeing me, he didn’t look down on him. He could only look at me. Turning back, he could only say to Mayana: "I can't think of any good way. But I also talked to Jijia After discussing this, this winter we encountered a severe cold that has not been seen in a century. Many people died in the tribes that were already short of food and clothing. There was not enough food to eat. Now it has slowly evolved into a major famine. I think our blood wolf tribe is actually The problems we face have three aspects: food crisis, population crisis, and World of Warcraft crisis.”

Listening to Kurtz talking, it was like the two of us sitting under the moon, looking up at the night sky and talking back to back. Of course, I was talking most of the time, and Kurtz was eating. His stomach was like It's like you can never have enough. As long as there is delicious food, you will eat it up. But now, Kurtz's voice, which was just in the stage of changing his voice, was a bit sharp and hoarse. The topics we talked about while squatting on the grass were summarized together, and he could speak clearly and clearly.

Mayana listened very carefully. When he heard Kuz talking about the three major problems facing the orcs, his eyes couldn't help but shift from the fire-gathering scroll to Kuz. He looked at the newly grown orc child in front of him with some surprise. After all, he is still an orc boy who has never participated in the coming-of-age ceremony. He actually already owns a precious alloy bow that many wolf hunters can never ask for in their lives. antelope The light armor of sheepskin and even the rotten leather boots on the feet are made of devil antelope leather. Looking at the new stubble at the seams of the leather, you can guess that it must have been rough and rotten in the wilderness. The bad things have turned white, but even so, there are countless orc teenagers who dream of getting such a magic antelope leather armor when they are preparing to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, but the orc boy in front of them actually Dressed so casually.

Mayana even saw several long packages on the back of the Yagui beast. Those packages were tightly wrapped in ordinary cowhide. Maybe the people in the Laitu tribe would not recognize what they were, but as ancient The wise man of Ludin Town, Mayana had a weird expression when he saw those packages for the first time. , I should recognize that those packages contain some heavy weapons. I am a little worried about this. After all, no one knows that the group of ligers are acting as bandits in the wilderness. If these weapons alone are used to trace us and the group of lions, If the death of the Khajiit has anything to do with it, I think there might be endless trouble.

Kurtz saw Mayana staring at him, but he didn't show any stage fright. He continued at his own pace: "The food crisis is not actually a big problem, but it is also a big problem if you look into it deeply. I want to boil the problem down to During spring hunting, men in each tribe have to participate in spring hunting in order to make a living for a year. However, this makes it difficult for some small tribes to survive, and women have to leave their homes with their children. I came up with two ways to dig wild vegetables in the wilderness to fill my stomach. The first is to make full use of the magic antelope captured in the spring hunting. Every year after hunting the magic antelope herd in the depths of the wilderness, we always use the magic antelope sheepskin and horns. Bring it back, discard the skeleton and the whole body of the mutton, and let the vultures peck at it. If we can gather the meat and bring it back to the tribe, then at least this spring we will have no shortage of meat.”

Mayana, who was sitting across from him, immediately asked: "What should we do? We need those hunters to give up chasing the magic antelope herds. Every time they hunt a large number of magic antelopes, they must send these sheep back to the tribe with their skins and meat." If we do that, how many sheep can we hunt in the whole spring? We need to collect at least 100,000 magic antelope skins to exchange for food. What should we do about this?"

Obviously, Kurz is not the first to make full use of the mutton obtained from hunting the magic antelope. The biggest drawback of this method is the lack of transportation capacity. The hunters in the wilderness are still busy catching the magic antelope and have no time at all. The piles of deviled antelope mutton were sent back to the tribe. Even if they traveled a long distance and were sent back to the tribe, the fresh mutton would become stale.

"Send the women in the tribe to the wilderness to make the hunted magic antelope into raw meat jerky or bacon jerky. If it were us, I would find a way to make the mutton into this kind of thing!" Kurtz said from He took out a pack of meat floss from his pocket, opened the oil paper, and saw that the tobacco-like meat floss inside was golden yellow and fragrant, making people salivate.

"Is this the meat used to cook the soup in the soup pot at night? Well, it's delicious!" Mayana asked in surprise, and then asked: "Is this cooked meat?"

The biggest difference between cooked meat and raw meat is the issue of fuel for the orcs in the wilderness. On the grassland in early spring, if you can chase the wild sheep and bison herds, you may be able to pick up enough cattle behind them. Feces, that thing can also be burned. But if you want to turn a large amount of fresh mutton into mature meat in the wilderness, the amount of fuel required is very huge.

Kurtz glanced at the burning fire-gathering scroll with some embarrassment, and said: "We cooked it with the fire-gathering scroll, dried it, and then smashed it bit by bit with a wooden hammer, and it became the meat it is now. It tastes very good and melts in your mouth. It can also be made into a thick soup and served with wild vegetables. We also had wheat cakes a few days ago, which is best eaten with it. "

When it comes to eating, Kurtz's language becomes much more fluent. In this era when raw meat jerky is in short supply, they still talk about how to make luxurious meat floss. This is a provocation to Meyana. Meyana's eyes suddenly became very cold, which made my heart feel cold. I think what this old orc dislikes the most is the extravagant orc aristocrats. The decline of the entire orc world is caused by the orc aristocrats imitating the luxurious life of humans. Kurtz and Meiana are here Talking about how to make pork floss is really confusing.

I secretly poked him hard in the ribs, wondering why you kid always misses the point, so I could only pretend to be a good boy and add: "I heard from Sister Guoguo, Shi Luo People in Yite City like to drink this kind of broth very much, or eat these meat floss sandwiched in white bread, with some sweetness. The butter is so delicious. Since there is so much meat in the wilderness, it is even piled up like a mountain in the wilderness. How good is it to make meat floss with so much fresh mutton? It is convenient for us to store it ourselves! If you don’t want to eat it, you can just sell it to the merchants in exchange for food. Why do you have to use the magic antelope parchment paper in exchange for food?”

Mayana looked at me and Kurtz with wide eyes, as if he had thought of some new idea, as if it had ignited the hope of the orcs, but the enthusiasm dissipated in an instant, and I guess he was still entangled in the problem. There is not enough fuel in the wasteland, and it is impossible to make loose meat in batches.

But it finally diverted his attention. As for the solution to the food problem proposed by Kurtz, Mayana asked some other aspects, such as itinerary arrangements, safety guarantees, information communication, etc. Although Kurtz didn't think enough about it, Perfect, but after all, the answer was well-founded. Finally, Kurz said: "In the past, there were always some businessmen who took advantage of the spring hunting season to organize a large number of thunder rhinoceros caravans and walked into the wilderness in search of such prey. The devil antelope abandoned in the wilderness, they will hire some strong The beast girls made large quantities of these fresh meats into bacon and transported them back to various small towns in the wilderness for sale. In fact, if we can effectively organize the hunting team and establish contact with human merchants, we will no longer be able to survive. Let them pick up those discarded in the wasteland for nothing Instead of selling the mutton in the store to them, the difference is that they pick it up door-to-door, so we can sell it a little cheaper. If they don’t buy it, then we will mobilize the beast girls in the tribe to go into the wasteland in groups and bring the fresh meat to them. After the meat is made into dried meat, it is carried out by someone..."

Kurtz said a lot. He always looks at problems from a different perspective than other orcs. This is mostly influenced by me. I think of the human businessmen who gain profits from the orcs, and I want to talk about those huge profits from them. The industry strives for some back, at least initially to teach Kurtz how to deal with those human businessmen Even if he becomes a great hunter king in the future, he will still have precious Warcraft leather and other materials from Warcraft to trade with human merchants. I want to leave an impression on Kurtz first so that he can come into contact with those in the future. Businessmen should suffer less losses. Unexpectedly, the words I discussed with Kuz before actually changed Kuz's views on businessmen, and he even thought of some ways to restrain businessmen, which was a good inspiration for Mayana.

Later, we talked about the population crisis and the World of Warcraft crisis. In short, we talked a lot.

In the end, Mayana actually sighed and said: "It would have been better if this disaster had come five years later!"

It was already midnight, and Mayana's body seemed very tired, but he still managed to cheer up, opened his eyes and told Kuz about the current situation in Gurudin Town, and told Kuz that he must find a way to get a piece of land, even now. The blood wolf tribe's border areas have been almost divided into enfeoffments. Only the edge of the death swamp in the rear area is unattended, and there is still a beast disaster in that area. Kurtz needs to find a way to obtain the fiefdom there. Dragging his tired body, Mayana spread out a wolfskin mattress beside the campfire and slept in his clothes.

Qige also encouraged Kuz and looked towards the edge of the swamp. In fact, she wanted to get some corpse oil from the swamp zombies. At this time, Kurtz and I looked at each other secretly. No one could understand the excitement hidden in our eyes. In fact, we didn't care about the deserted land that no one cares about, nor did we care about the very high probability of something happening in our bodies and brains. Demon Core’s swamp zombies, that’s what we’re looking for The sweet potatoes under a whole swamp can solve the famine problem of hundreds of thousands of people at once. The sweet potatoes can also make a large amount of vermicelli. In these famine years, the orcs can use them to satisfy their hunger. After spending the famine years, , we can sell them to merchants.
