my age of magic

Chapter 704 204. The Earth Workshop of the Demonic Spider Silk

Kalantso and I stood in front of a wooden cage, and there were some small white silk cocoons hanging on the cliff beside it. According to Kalantso, those silk cocoons were filled with restless goblins. Goblin slaves who are lazy, sick, injured or want to escape, once found, will be sent here to be made into white silk cocoons and hung on the walls. These are the food of giant spiders.

It seems that these giant spiders have plenty of food. I am curious how many goblin slaves Bernd captured and brought back so many problem goblins. You must know that these goblins are timid and afraid of death. When their lives are seriously threatened, they are It is impossible to expose so many shortcomings.

In the underground cave, a huge wooden support is erected every ten meters, and there are dim oil lamps next to the support, so that the tunnel does not look completely dark on this day, and there is a faint light, which will give A kind of psychological hint, that is: hope.

The air here is not stuffy, but the 'hum' of the spinning wheel can be heard from a long distance away. I asked Kalantso in surprise: "Can your orc tribe make spinning wheels?"

She looked at me blankly and asked, "What is a spinning wheel?"

Well, I didn't say anything!
I shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands, searched for words, and said to her simply and clearly: "A machine that spins spider silk."

She was stunned, then paused, thought about it seriously, and said to me: "Jijia, don't tell me, our tribe really has a 'spinning wheel'. Although the style is a bit simple, it is very convenient."

The disgusting ferocious head of a giant spider was exposed in front of the square wooden cage, with large and small eyes growing out, watching the surrounding movement in horror, and making a 'hissing' sound from its mouth, when they saw me and Kalan Tso slow Walking slowly, the book lung breathing in the abdomen became rapid.

I looked at cage after cage of giant spiders, and asked Kalancuo, "Didn't you say to transport these spiders back to the orc village? What, changed your mind?"

Kalancuo clasped her hands in front of her chest, and the double-edged sword on her back shone coldly under the faint light. She smiled faintly, and then said to me: "That guy Bernd has some New ideas, so we decided to store these spiders in underground caves for the time being."

Later, she added to me: "That guy Bernd always has endless ideas. The dwarf you found is really interesting."

It seems that Kalancuo has begun to slowly try to accept the dwarf warrior.

At this time, I checked the giant spiders in the cages one by one. Some of the giant spiders had completely healed where the spider legs were broken in the abdomen. No new spider legs grew from the wounds. The remaining small spider legs also fell off automatically at the joints. It seems that they have been living in the cave for a while, and the humidity and cold here have no effect on these big guys with strong physique.

The only thing that makes them feel uncomfortable is probably the feeding method like duck feeding.

The wounds of some newly captured giant spiders are brand new, and the remaining spider legs are nearly half a foot long, and purple liquid is constantly flowing out. Whenever they get close to these spiders, their breathing will become weaker. It was extremely urgent, and under the dim light, countless spider eyes were staring at me, which made me also feel a kind of creepy feeling in the pores.

There is also a square opening at the back of the wooden cage, and the spinner is exposed under the fat abdomen. At this time, I noticed one thing, the spiders in the wooden cage are placed upside down in the cage, and their huge bodies Stuck in the wooden cage, there is no way to move at all, only the spinning machine is exposed to our sight very clearly.

Those big spiders that lost their legs were locked in the animal pen, and their bodies were imprisoned so that they could not move. The spinner at the tip of the tail trembled slightly. Not too far from the tail of each giant spider, There is a spinning wheel in the shape of a potter's wheel, and there is a very thin silk thread between the spinning wheel and the spinner.

A total of seven beast girls were sitting in front of the spinning wheel, shaking the spinning wheel in front of them quickly, and seven extremely thin spider silks were quickly spit out from the spinner at the spider's tail.

No, to be precise, under the high-speed rotation of the spinning wheel, the spider silk is pulled out quickly. Each spinning wheel is like a large potter's wheel, but it can be seen that each potter's wheel is equipped with a very delicate tile shaft. In this way, the potter's wheel can rotate rapidly, and while the potter's wheel is rotating at a high speed, the cam device placed in the center of the potter's wheel can also make the potter's wheel swing from side to side evenly, so that the spun silk threads will be evenly wound on the spindle.

This is a very ingenious mechanism, and such a linked mechanical mechanism is undoubtedly like a bible for the orcs in the orc tribe. They have no way to make this thing.

However, only I know that these spinning wheels must be in the hands of these orcs.Because even I am not sure whether this thing can be bought in Green Emperor.

I looked at Kalancuo suspiciously. When he saw that I had discovered the clue, he hesitated for a moment, and said to me: "I promised Bernd that I would not talk nonsense, and he didn't do anything, just did a few things. It's just a more delicate potter's wheel, and it's not difficult."

Seeing that I was still staring at her, she brushed her hair in a little embarrassment, and then said: "Well, I know I can't hide it from you, yes, he read a few blueprints in the treasure chest, and then helped us make With this thing, even if we beast girls spin the spinning wheel while dozing off, we can spin the most delicate silk spindles."

"You won't blame me, will you?" (You won't trouble him, will you?) Kalantso asked me cautiously.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that! But, since it's all done like this, have you ever thought about using waterwheels or windmills as power? After all, this kind of human spinning wheel is a bit too low-level!" I sighed. Well, since Kalancuo said this, it means that he took the responsibility on himself, and didn't want me to blame Bernd for peeking at the blueprints in those treasure chests.

For this matter, I can only give up, and think about it from another angle, this might not be a good thing.

Besides me, in the underground cave, there are still people who can understand these blueprints, and the most commendable thing is that a certain mechanism in these blueprints has been cleverly applied to real equipment.

But obviously, Kalancuo didn't understand what I meant. After thinking about it, she thought I was telling her: there are a little few beast girls spinning silk.

So she spread her hands and said to me: "I only have so many people, so the most urgent thing is to find more slaves for me. The construction here needs manpower, and the development of the orc village needs manpower. Manpower is needed to manage the savages at the foot of the mountain, and manpower is also needed to develop the circular valley. We hunted a total of 27 giant spiders, and now only a fraction of the total number of spiders that can start spinning - seven, and the other spiders only Can be left idle in a wooden cage to raise fat, you know? This is a great waste!"

"Okay, I will find a way as soon as possible and buy some slaves back, but before that, can you enslave those goblins, since you have already let them dig caves, why don't you let them spin silk?" I suggested. .

Kalantso complained and said: "Do you think I haven't tried it? As long as those goblins smell the smell here, or hear any sound made by these giant spiders, they will become paralyzed and have no strength to work. I thought they were just pretending, but after killing a few of them, they were still the same, so in desperation, I gave up this idea."

At this moment, a female orc warrior stopped suddenly, and the spinning wheel stopped spinning. She touched the extremely thin spider silk with her hand, frowned, picked up a cane, stood up, walked to the giant spider, and ruthlessly Viciously lashing the softest part of its abdomen a few times, the spider let out an uncontrollable scream of pain.

Kalantso walked over to the beast girl and asked, "Is this guy spinning filaments again?"

The beast girl nodded, then lashed the giant spider several times, then turned around and walked back to her position, and continued spinning.

Sure enough, at this time, the spider silk spit out from the spinner in the abdomen of the giant spider became much tougher. It turns out that these spiders are sometimes lazy.

There are two rows of neatly arranged spider silk ingots on the wooden shelf at the side. These are excellent materials for making magic-weave spider silk cloth. It seems that in such a short period of time, there are quite a lot of gains. Who would have thought that, In this dark underground cave, there is such a special spider silk processing workshop.

It is said that the spider silk of this kind of spider silk magic weave cloth, in the trading market, is almost one ingot of gold and one ingot of yarn. Looking at the silk ingots on the shelf, the joy of harvesting is overflowing in my heart.

At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that a large number of slaves in the slave market in the imperial capital came from various planes. Put on metal collars and become slaves.

In this way, the Hierro plane must also be a large-scale slave delivery place, so there must be a very prosperous slave market in Tanton City. This time, the final destination of our team's trip is to be located in Tanton City. I might as well buy some slaves at the slave market in Tanton City.

Afterwards, I took a look at the square stone chambers excavated in the tunnel. Almost every stone chamber has an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. Straight lines are carved on the smooth rocky ground. The latitude and longitude lines on the flat ground divide the floor of the stone chamber into one-meter-square floor tiles. Each floor tile is polished with anti-skid patterns, which looks extremely elegant.

On the surrounding stone walls, there is a relief-like stone pillar every not far away. Only when you walk in can you find that these stone pillars are actually closely connected with the stone wall. These stone pillars extend up to the vaulted ceiling of the ceiling. The nearly ten-meter-high dome makes this stone chamber look very spacious, and the exquisite round vault better prevents the imagination of these underground stone chambers from falling.

I don't know how those goblins dug out such a large stone chamber in such a short period of time. If we want to study it carefully, it will undoubtedly lead to a history of blood and tears for the goblins. I don't care about the life and death of those goblins. For Xinliu Valley, controlling the population of goblins is an urgent matter.

I didn't have time to stay in the underground cave for too long. After visiting these, I returned to the altar.

At this time, Kalancuo has prepared several herbs for me, and of course, a few fish.

Those fish were a few herrings caught by the orc warriors from the stream next to the orc village. Lucia, who is a half-elf, has a bit of a poor appetite recently, especially after I finished roasting the spider legs that day. We all eat fruit tightly to survive. Our team spans the entire Black Forest, and we need to exert a lot of physical strength every day.

Moreover, there are many ferocious beasts in the Black Forest, which requires every member of our team to maintain the best physical condition.

It is difficult to find fish in this forest, so I asked Kalancuo to send someone to Xinliu Valley to bring back a few herrings.

That's right, I've been getting a little tired of grilling wild game recently, maybe I can change it to 'fried fish' tonight.

As for those herbs, they are the last few herbs that Qige needs to prepare 'Xueluo Ink'. Although they are ingredients, without these herbs, what is prepared is not 'Xueluo Ink'. It doesn't matter if you put more or less, the most is that the ink state is unstable.

Without these ingredients, "Xueluo ink" cannot be made. Qige has tried and made several times on the road, but all ended in failure.

No way, it just so happens that these ingredients are in stock in Xinliu Valley's underground herbal medicine warehouse. Xinliu Valley is a huge medicinal garden of low-level magic herbs. In this world, hundreds of low-level magic herbs grow.

In my underground warehouse, these magical herbs have been stored for a while, and now I can only take them out at this time, saying that they are pressed... in the innermost part of the magic backpack...

……

Recently, Qige has been in a nearly crazy state, preparing those magic potions. The reason is that by the lakeside of the valley, we found a piece of dragon's blood grass, although the leaves of those dragon's blood grass are not as deep as the legendary top-quality dragon's blood grass. The purple, but reddish-brown dragon's blood grass can also show that these magic herbs are only one step away from the top-quality dragon's blood grass.

It is said that dragon's blood grass can refine a potion called 'Strong Troll Power'. It is said that warriors who take this magical potion have endless power like a troll possessed.

Therefore, Qige has been learning about the characteristics of these 'dragon's blood grass' recently.

I returned to the team camp and handed those magic herbs to Qige, Qige also looked up at me in surprise, and then said to me: "Bring it to Takama, let her deal with it, before that, don't Come to bother me, I will help you prepare the Luoxue ink before dinner, and inform the team that I will rest for half a day this afternoon, I need some time to experiment with the medicinal properties of these dragon's blood herbs, and you will come and help me later!"

"...Okay!" An ominous premonition enveloped my heart. Although I had a bitter face, I agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, Qige, who had been burying her head on the table, slowly raised her head, an intriguing smile floated on her beautiful face, a sparkle of light flickered in her eyes as clear as Weiyang Lake, and her neck and throat The ruby ​​was shining brightly, she gently pushed the messy black hair behind her ears, looked at me seriously, and said softly: "Fool!"

By this time, I had lifted the curtain of her tent, turned and walked out.
