Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 362: Steel Gulong (2/3)
Because of Yin En's order, the food in the caravan tonight is quite good. Apart from the fresh oiled noodle cakes and broth, the steward of the caravan was very happy and distributed a small piece of smoked bacon to everyone .
This smoked cured meat is made of a very large piece of venison. First, a layer of finer sea salt is applied to the surface, and then covered with cheap rock salt. It is left for half a month, and then placed in a cool and dry cave. A wild fungus is fermented for two months.
During the fermentation period, it needs a unique aroma of the former indigenous people, so that the aroma can penetrate into every part of the meat with the yeast, making the meat extremely tender and delicious.
Because it is a traditional food used for indigenous sacrifices, only shamans and chiefs can eat it, so it is also called "Shaman smoked bacon" and "Nanshan bacon".
Chefs in Harrison Port have improved the process and turned it into a local specialty. This kind of smoked cured meat has a very long shelf life. Whether it is boiled in soup or sandwiched in dry food, it is very flavorful, delicious and delicious. It is very suitable for long-term walking adventurers and caravan reserves.
Yin En also likes the taste of this kind of smoked bacon very much. He used it to hang soup at the beginning. It always reminded him of the ham and bacon in his hometown, but there is no such magical fermentation bacteria and fresh meat Flavored flowers can be regarded as the unique delicacy of Terra Continent.
After a full meal, everyone's face was full of oil, and the morale calmed down by the head brought back by Yin En, the anxiety caused by the attack by the monster was completely expelled.
It's actually quite uncomfortable to sleep in the carriage, because there are a lot of things in it, even Yin En's thin figure is a bit cramped, it's hard to imagine people like Qing Chao and Scott who are tall and burly How did the guy stuff it in.
But the good thing is that Yin En can fall asleep standing up, and he is also approaching the second energy level, the development of the brain is increasing, and ten minutes of deep sleep can meet the daily needs.
The next morning, the steward's nephew and third brother took the dejected ghost, head and documents, and rode back to Port Harrison on fast horses. There was no doubt that they would get a big reward.
And Yin En and others continued to move forward.
The clouds drifted away, the rain came and went, the sun and the moon cycled for five days, and the caravan passed through several towns, including Sanhe City, the most important water cargo transit point in Nanling.
The City of Three Rivers, which is located at the confluence of the Yinwok River, the Jet River and the Kilber River, and close to the sea, cannot expand its urban area.
Because, it is essentially a large village built on the only solid soil in the middle of the swamp, but the residents of Nanling built a city on the swamp with rocks, planks, and various canal bridges '.
The caravan delivered a batch of goods here, and then put in a new batch of goods. Yin En also met with the person in charge of the White Room Chamber of Commerce here.
The other party warmly entertained the boy, and respectfully asked Yin En to review the operation of the local chamber of commerce.
Yin En knew that the other party wanted to leave a good impression on him. When he became an elder in the future, he might have a chance to be promoted back to the headquarters in Port Harrison, so he also took a look around.
"It's a pity that you came a little early, my lord. In the middle of the rainy season, the water in the Three Rivers Basin will rise."
The steward with a goatee looked at the densely packed merchant ships and fishing boats on the Three Rivers, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "At that time, the most valuable goods in the entire Nanling Colony and Autonomous Region will be imported into Three Rivers City, and the price will be comparable. It will be much cheaper than other times.”
Yin En is indeed quite interested: "Oh? Then I really have time to see and see."
The Yin Walker River runs from the northeast to the south, the Jet River runs from the northwest to the southeast, and the Kilber River traverses the Baisen Mountain Range. The first-class Warcraft material, which is the most expensive harvest of the mountain people and the natives in a year, is enough to exchange for a large amount of materials for the rapid development of the tribe from the empire.
"By the way, if you have the following alchemy materials, you can help me buy a batch first. This is my alchemy coat of arms, and you can go to the public account of Harrison Port."
Since there is a time period for low prices, it is natural not to let go of cheap prices. Yin En gave a batch of product lists, most of which are materials related to alchemy potions and inscriptions, and the manager naturally agreed.
The caravan stayed here for a day and set off at noon the next day.
Not long after leaving Sanhe City, they arrived at the last pass where Yin En and the caravan traveled together.
The mouth of the Indigo Mountain Gorge of the Nanling Mountain People.
After that, there is the criss-crossed and vibrant Nauman Plain.
Indigo Mountain, also known as Qishan Mountain. A mountain that seems to have been coated with metal, and under the sunlight, it emits a strange blue light towards the surroundings.
It is said that four hundred years ago, there was an ancient dragon "Steel Dragon" inhabiting this place. Its powerful force infected the surrounding mountains and changed the rock physical properties of this place.
The local mountain people, no matter where they are in the mountains, respect this dragon as the "Mountain Dragon God". Infected rocks are used to build houses and temples, to graze cattle and flocks for the Dragon God, and to sacrifice year after year.
Gu Long didn't seem to care about the actions of these villains. Although he didn't use the mountain people as food, and didn't destroy their villages and towns, he never really sheltered them.
And this kind of rock infested by the power of the ancient dragon is called 'Steel Stone'. Its surface layer is almost metal, but the inside becomes tough. It has become a special building material for building levels. The fortress is almost indestructible, even the power of the alchemy cannon is no different from the breeze blowing in front of the fortress made of smelt steel.
At that time, the Nineteenth Army of the Empire was ordered to break through the Indigo Mountain Gap, and it ran unimpeded all the way, but it was the first setback in front of the strong fortress of the mountain people. I am afraid that the Nineteenth Army can only attack by force at a great price.
Steel Dragon has disappeared now. According to the legend of the mountain people, the dragon **** was awakened by a violent snowstorm. , causing the sun to reappear.
The mountain people who were on the verge of extinction due to natural disasters got a respite.
Then, she uttered a roar that shook the mountains, flew into the high sky, and never returned.
According to scholars' speculation and analysis, the frost disaster that swept across the Falut Mountains, Nanling and the entire Baisen Mountains four hundred years ago was another ancient dragon 'Ice Menglong' that inhabited the Karan Mountains The process of migration, but the sudden interruption of this migration may be related to the obstruction of Qian Ganglong.
Scholars believe that this is just a rare battle for the territory of ancient dragons, but the mountain people firmly believe that the dragon **** chooses to fight to protect them, and they should always maintain the dragon god's lair and maintain the sacrificial offerings. , waiting for her return.
