Chapter 328
The lessons from the previous two times were not enough. Yu Sui had made up his mind that if he could still pick up intelligent creatures and he couldn’t just sit back and watch, he would send them to the Red Grass Tribe (Tauren:…).
Half of the reason for the addition of a new human to the tribe this time was due to Hei Yan. After laughing a few times, he explained for Yu Sui.
"I see. We came to the Dream Continent quite early, so the nobles and royal families of the Qilan Empire must have been replaced by new generations long ago. Otherwise, I would have been able to figure out the specific identity of the human named Hawke."
Robert stroked his beard and thought. Before being hunted by humans, dwarves were distributed in both the East and West Continents. He used to live in the Qilan Empire (dwarves have longer lifespans than humans).
Bombur's expression was somewhat serious. "He's the son of an earl. His enemies are the marquis and the sons of other earls. It seems he's offended quite a few powerful forces. No wonder he's fleeing to the Dream Continent. Other countries really can't protect him, unless he hides in the Death Continent."
Yu Sui was curious. Death Continent? The name didn't sound like a good place. "What is Death Continent?"
"The Death Continent is also known as the Dark Continent. It is full of dark creatures, such as skeleton soldiers, liches, bone dragons, etc. Living people who enter it will also turn into dark creatures and become subordinates of the liches." Bombur explained patiently.
Heiyan said: "The only living creature inside is the dark wizard."
It turns out there are such mysterious things here. Yu Sui was shocked. When I played online games before, I thought the dark style was very cool and handsome, but it’s a bit scary when it really appears in real life...
No wonder Uncle Bombur said Hawke could hide there. Anyone who dared to go to the Death Continent to capture people would accidentally become a skeleton soldier, and if he was lucky, he could become a skeleton general.
However, unless Hawke is a dark wizard, escaping there will be a dead end.
"That's why he chose to come to us," Yu Sui touched his chin. "According to the Xiren caravan, the Golden Kingdom violated their agreement and let in merchants from the Kingdom of Tavia without authorization. That's why they didn't dare to send Hawke to the Red Grass Tribe. The caravan from the Kingdom of Tavia will definitely go there too. There are many orcs traveling in and out of the Tauren Tribe, so it's not a secret."
As soon as these words were spoken, Heiyan and the others looked unhappy.
"The Golden Kingdom is really capable of anything, but they can even sell the cubs of their own kind, so it's nothing to violate the agreement with humans." Heiyan said sarcastically.
The two dwarves frowned when they heard for the first time that the Golden Kingdom was selling orc cubs. Although they were not of the same race as the orcs, they were still sad and angry when they heard the news.
But they were dwarves, so it was not appropriate for them to say too much in front of the orcs. After a moment's silence, they sighed and shook their heads.
Yu Sui shrugged and thought, I hope Xiaochu's mother will usurp the throne soon. The current ruler is too incompetent and will sooner or later arouse public anger.
In order to comfort everyone, he told a few people the price of the liquor and several hundred boxes of cotton seeds.
Sure enough, when they heard that the tribe’s liquor, after deducting the budget to trade the liquor of the small orcs, could be exchanged for so many gold coins, several people’s eyes widened.
This was the first time Heiyan heard the news. He was so excited that he kept patting Yu Sui's shoulders and almost knocked him to the ground.
"Good boy, you're amazing! You can actually earn so much! Now we have a lot left after spending. Our tribe has never had so much gold coins!"
Bombur was overjoyed. "This human is so rich! He is indeed the earl's son. He even took so many things with him when he escaped. That's great! With these cotton seeds, we will have an extra source of income in the future."
"Yes, in addition to using the cotton we grow ourselves, we can also sell the rest to other tribes," Robert continued.
Black Rock nodded and asked the two dwarves, "By the way, can you make cotton into cloth and clothes?"
This question stumped the two dwarves, as they were not very good at weaving...
After a long silence, Rob said, "Ellie does know how to make clothes, but how to make cotton into cloth is something that humans all know, so there's no reason why we can't learn. Now that we have cotton, we can slowly experiment."
Yu Sui had watched this series of videos about textiles. Two years before he traveled through time, those pastoral-style handicraft videos were very popular. Now he was very grateful for that trend, which had taught him a lot of knowledge, and now it all came in handy.
It just so happened that in order to attract traffic, the bloggers who shot the videos used very old machines, such as cotton gins and textile machines, which were wooden machines used in ancient times. The principles were relatively simple, and if you think about it carefully, they should be able to be replicated.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, the principle of weaving is not that difficult. It's a bit similar to spinning wool. First, the seeds are removed from the picked cotton, then the cotton is fluffed to make it soft, and then the yarn is spun and then woven."
After saying that, the others were still confused.
Even if I explain the detailed steps now, it will still be difficult to understand if you haven't seen the process with your own eyes.
Yu Sui thought about it and put the topic on hold until the cotton was planted.
In my previous life, I heard that some old cloth shops were very particular about weaving. It was said that good cotton cloth had to go through "seventy-two transformations" before it could take shape, comparable to Sun Wukong.
The Heitu tribe was growing cotton and making cotton cloth for the first time, so they didn't have to meet such high standards. Even in the past, not everyone could afford to wear or use such good cotton cloth, so there was no need to set such high standards now.
The spinning machine and loom are slightly more difficult, the cotton gin is very simple, but these are no problem for the dwarves at all.
As for the personnel for the defense line, Yu Sui already had candidates in mind, namely the cats and rats with more flexible fingers. Their strength was not as good as that of the large orcs, but when it came to this kind of precision work, the small orcs were better at it, and the cats and rats were the best among them.
"Let's plant it first. Cotton has very high requirements for temperature. We have to plant it as early as possible. If we plant it later, the harvest time will be even later. The temperature here has started to drop in September. Low temperature will seriously affect the cotton yield." Yu Sui said.
"In that case, let's plant the cotton as soon as the transaction is completed. But the tribe has you. Your natural magic can shorten the growth time of plants, so planting cotton should not be a problem." Heiyan said after thinking for a moment.
Heiyan didn't know what the requirements were for cotton planting, but when he heard Xiaoyu Sui say that cotton was afraid of the cold, he realized that it would be quite difficult for the Heitu tribe to grow cotton.
The climate where the tribe is located is slightly colder than that of the Red Grass Tribe. The entire Fantasy Continent is colder than other continents, but the Red Grass Tribe is closer to the Elf Forest, where it is spring all year round, so it is relatively warmer.
