"We believe it, because we know the quality of the water in our area. But we still need to show people the water to convince them, so I brought water with me."
The jellyfish beastman opened the conch shell, revealing the sea water inside, and continued.
“After the actual products are made, our tribe will put them on the stall for everyone who comes to trade with our tribe to see.
We will tell them that this is water provided by our tribe and you made it.
We will tell them that everyone is welcome to get water, and you are willing to share the method with everyone."
Xuan and Meng Yuqing raised their eyebrows after hearing what the other party said. The Blue Water Tribe meant to support the Qingshan Tribe.
To a certain extent, the Blue Water Tribe chose the Qingshan Tribe between the three major tribes and the Qingshan Tribe.
But why would they do this? They have been coming to the markets of the three major tribes for a long time. Why did they suddenly change their target and even hinted that they hoped to open another market?
Meng Yuqing was still thinking about the reason when Xuan asked directly, "Why did you do this? Or in other words, why did you choose us between us and the three major tribes?"
The jellyfish orc sat up straight and looked at Xuan and said, "There are disagreements within the three major tribes, and some people are unclear with the people on the side of the God Tribe."
The jellyfish orcs' expressions were indifferent, but Meng Yuqing could sense the Blue Water Tribe's dissatisfaction with the God Tribe's camp.
He lowered his eyes. The Blue Water Tribe and the Northern Tribe were separated by the entire South, and it was not convenient for them to go ashore.
Of course, it would be even more troublesome for the orcs on land to go to them. No matter how chaotic the north and south are, it would not have much impact on them.
How could they know what was happening in the north, and they were obviously hostile to the God Tribe.
"You don't like the God Tribe." Xuan said directly.
"Yes." The jellyfish orcs admitted frankly. Many people knew that they didn't like people from the northern tribes, because those who could come from the north to trade in the market basically had some connection with the God Tribe.
"Why?" Xuan was a little surprised by his attitude. From the perspective of Xuan and Meng Yuqing, this was no longer just dislike, but naked disgust.
"They will make things very bad here." The jellyfish orc spoke vaguely, but his tone was very certain.
"How do you know?" Meng Yuqing stared at the jellyfish orcs. The people of the Blue Water Tribe were so weird.
"Our witch told us that God will bring disaster." The jellyfish orc also stared at Meng Yuqing.
Xuan instantly became like a taut bowstring, also staring at the jellyfish orc.
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.
After a long moment, the jellyfish orc retracted his gaze and said casually, "As for how our witch knew this... sub-beasts all have some strange abilities, don't they?"
The atmosphere relaxed.
The three of them were silent for a while.
Meng Yuqing said, "Let's start now and make salt from seawater."
"Okay." The jellyfish orc nodded.
Xuan turned to look at Lian, who had been standing by as a backdrop, and said, "Go get some pots, bowls, and firewood."
Lian was originally in a semi-dazed state, but he came back to his senses the moment the atmosphere became tense. He immediately stood beside Meng Yuqing, ready to take Meng Yuqing away at any time.
Now after hearing Xuan's request, he nodded, agreed, and trotted away.
After a while he came over with a clay pot and some wood.
Xuan simply piled up stones to build a small stove, and Meng Yuqing placed the pottery jar on it.
Meng Yuqing picked up some broken stones and washed them with water. He then took a bamboo tube and asked Xuan to poke a few small holes in the bottom to make a simple filtering device.
After briefly filtering the seawater, Meng Yuqing said to the jellyfish orc, "Pour the water into the jar."
The jellyfish orc came over and poured water into the clay pot. When he was about halfway through, Meng Yuqing called for a stop.
"Let's make a fire and bring over a pair of chopsticks." Meng Yuqing said.
Xuan took over the task of lighting the fire, and Lian left to get the chopsticks.
When the jellyfish orc saw the fire started, he sat a little further away. For an orc like him, fire was too scary.
Xuan Helian sat next to Meng Yuqing and watched him stir the sea water in the pottery jar.
"It will take some time. We need to boil the water dry, and there are some follow-up operations." Meng Yuqing looked at the jellyfish orc.
The jellyfish orc waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we're not in a hurry, but can you bring some more water? Even the water you have here will do."
"No problem." Lian said, then carried a water tank and placed it next to the jellyfish orc.
Xuan and Meng Yuqing were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, but the jellyfish orc liked it very much and happily put his hands into the water tank.
When Meng Yuqing was almost done with the small tank of sea water, he discovered that the jellyfish beastman had already nestled inside the tank, occasionally producing some tentacles that hung on the edge of the tank.
This is too much of a way of not treating these people as outsiders.
A lot of white crystals have appeared in the pottery jar, but they are all very rough.
When Meng Yuqing saw that it was almost done, he poured all the coarse salt into the bowl. He took out chopsticks and stirred it around. Xuan and Lian looked at the coarse salt curiously.
The jellyfish beastman also stood up from the tank and stretched his neck to look over here.
"Is that all?" Xuan asked, looking at the coarse salt. The salt Meng Yuqing gave him before was also white like this, but it was much finer than the freshly boiled salt.
"Not yet, there are still some steps." Meng Yuqing asked Xuan to bring a piece of hairless animal skin, and then asked Xuan to carefully poke a lot of needle-sized holes in it. "And bring some water."
Xuan and Lian looked up at the jellyfish orcs at the same time. Seeing their actions, Meng Yuqing also looked up.
...
"Boiled drinkable water..." Although he sometimes drank water directly from the stream, it was possible but unnecessary for him to fetch water directly from the water tank where the jellyfish orcs were soaking.
It’s not like we can’t find clean water now.
