Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 12: .Coarse salt in a clay pot

The clay pot is earthy yellow, the size of an adult's head, it seems that it has been used for a long time, and the edge is worn very badly, and the pattern that should have been painted on the surface of the clay pot is only a little vaguely visible. Really.

   "Master, I think you need to know this discovery."

  The Swadian farmer walked quickly, holding the old clay pot, his expression was very cautious.

   "Hey, wait."

   But for Kant, his brows could not help but frown.

  Especially looking at the dilapidated earthenware pot, he couldn't help frowning: "If what you said is this earthenware pot that should be treated and buried, I don't think I need to get it."

   There is no porcelain technology in this world, but it does not mean that there is no technology for making advanced pottery.

   Exquisite high-grade pottery is just as expensive.

Especially in the eyes of Kant’s nobles, this dilapidated clay pot, except for the poor people who have nothing, does not care about this kind of thing at all, even if it is thrown in the corner of the street, if there is no cleaner to take the initiative to clean, it will be placed for a long time. No one will pick it up.

  The Principality of the Lions is rich in clay, so there is no shortage of high-grade pottery and low-grade pottery.

   "No, not this clay pot."

  The Swadian farmer also shook his head to explain.

   "What is that?" Kant was slightly curious.

"it is this."

  Farmers came to Kant, still carefully holding the dilapidated pottery jar, which seemed to contain something. With the sunlight, a piece of white flowers bloomed conspicuously.

   Kant was slightly surprised.

   seems familiar.

   looked carefully at the pottery jar. The white flower inside the object was a pile of white solid powder.

   And this kind of thing suddenly appeared in Kant's mind.

   "Salt?" His eyes widened slightly.

   And the farmer nodded exactly: "Yes, Lord Lord, it's salt."

   Kant's eyes were a bit happy.

   In this backward world, salt and sugar are scarce condiments. Even if he was a young duke and a baron of the lion duchy, there were less than two baskets of such condiments when he came to his land.

   10 pounds of salt, 10 pounds of sugar, 5 pounds of black pepper, this is the condiment he got when he divided the baron.

   "Where did this pot of salt come from?"

  Kant couldn't help but swallow his mouth, watching the peasant spirit was very exciting.

   "The wolves' tents have a relatively large tent. This pot was inside when we cleaned up." The farmer replied, pointing to the grass not far away.

   "The Jackal?"

   Kant licked his lips, but frowned slightly.

   has scanned the tent that has not been completely folded, made of animal skins and linen, and looks bigger than the ordinary Jackal tent, and his heart is also clear.

   That should be the tent of the jackal.

Although    is a primitive race, it still has ranks, and the boss also owns most of the property in the tribe.

   But what makes Kant wonder is why there is salt in this tribe of jackals. You know, even in the affluent Principality of Lions, those families of small landlords do not have so much salt!

   "This should be the salt produced in the desert salt mine."

   There were desert robbers speaking with a positive tone, obviously they knew this salt.

  Especially their eyes swept over the white salt powder in the clay pot, which was slightly grayish, which confirmed their statement: "And it is still an open-pit salt mine, the coarse salt collected in the saline-alkali fields."

   "Coarse salt in saline land?" Kant turned his head and raised his eyebrows.

  The desert robbers nodded: "Yes, it is similar to the salt produced in the salt mines of the Sultanate of Sarand."

At the same time, these desert robbers also added: "However, these salts should be coarse salt that is collected and simply cleaned up. There is a small amount of sediment in the mouth, so the taste is very poor. Generally, the artisans of Salander will use the coarse salt Filter it again, then re-boil into finer table salt."

   "This is it." Kant nodded gently.

   But his eyes looked at the coarse salt in the clay pot in front of him, and he thought about it in his mind.

   "If we speculate in this way, then we can be sure that there may be a saline land in the depths of the Nalun Desert?" Kant's face tried to maintain calm, but his voice was a little excited.

  The desert robber nodded affirmatively: "If there is no accident, this is indeed the case."

   a happy look appeared on Kant's face.

   Even if he tried his best to control his expression, the joy in his heart still made him a little difficult to control.

   "This is really good news!"

   Kant swallowed, his fists clenched.

Something like salt may not be much at all during the modern earth period, but throughout history, this salty condiment, whether in the East or the West, represents luxury, expensive, and rich people's exclusive synonym!

   And this is the mysterious plane of the sword and magic, society similar to the Middle Ages, the same is true.

  Salt is an expensive condiment and one of the common materials used by those magicians to cast spells. Therefore, mastering this precious material almost controls the wealth!

  Now, in the depths of this barren Naren desert, there is even a saline land full of salt.

   really excited Kant.

   "This is an opportunity!"

   He swallowed a spit, and he was extremely solemn in his ecstatic eyes, because as a traverser, he certainly knew what he would get if he mastered the salt production place.

   wealth.

   Opportunity.

   There is also a conspiracy.

   looked around, Kant licked the corner of his mouth, his heart settled down.

  On the sentry oasis, there is only his village, and Dekhremim also has only his people, and there are no outsiders. Therefore, at present, this secret belongs to him only.

  【Ding…After some efforts, the oasis was cleaned up】

   [Temporary task: "Rebuilding the oasis" completed]

  【Reward: flour × 20 bags】

  【Evaluation: It's just simple manual work, it can be done easily, isn't it? 】

   Just as Kant was pleased in his heart, the system also heard a tone.

   On the retina, a dialog box appeared, proving that the temporary task he had just received in the morning had been completed.

  At the same time in my mind, in a mysterious system space, 20 bags of barley flour have been prepared, as long as Kant is willing to come out at any time.

   "Double Happiness is coming." Kant smiled.

   looked down at the jar of salt under his feet, which was even more pleasant to him.

  As long as Dekhrim develops and Kant has enough self-preservation power, then these salts can become his help, open up the trade line of the male lion and gain more wealth.

  Salt like this is almost equal to hard currency!

   The eyes flashed on the retina, and the system's temporary tasks were released again.

  【Ding…Temporary task release】

   [Temporary Mission: The Origin of Salt]

   [Reward: Standard Swadia House × 5]

   [Introduction: Where did these salts come from? This is a problem, please explore the depths of the desert carefully, maybe you can find different resources, such as UU reading www.uukanshu.com such as these precious salts. 】

   looked at the dialog on the retina, Kant shook his head and chuckled.

  Even if the system does not have this task, he will definitely arrange people to search for where these salts come from.

   "Saline land? That's mine!"

   Kant's face was determined.

   If such precious resources are occupied by those primitive jackals, it would be a pity.

   This salt mine resource must be controlled by Kant.

   has no false mercy and excuses. To put it bluntly, Kant wanted to seize this kind of resources to complete his development, even if it would cause conflict with the jackal tribe, it would not hesitate!

   "Swadians, never fear."

   Kant's eyes are deep, with pride and domineering.

   On the mainland of Kaladea, the Kingdom of Swadia itself is known as invincible in the field. In this world, slaughtering some jackals in the primitive tribe period is really simple.

   And with a system, Kant can still fight for battle!

   Even if you use the life of 10 Swadian farmers in exchange for a place to advance to the rank of a Swadian knight, they are all great value.

   "We plan for a long time."

   But Kant calmed his emotions and calmed down quickly.

   Salt mines must be found, but of course, deep into the vast desert of Nalun, of course, we need to be cautious. It is simply impossible to rush into the desert in a hurry by virtue of system tasks. That is no different from the stupid stunned youth.

   But looking at the six desert robbers next to him, the smile on Kant's face was even stronger.

   "Fortunately, I have a desert expert."

   PS: Aha, I was busy signing the contract today, and then went to the postal contract. It was really a delay...
