Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 461: Secrets of Salt Mines

Why do tribes see salt so heavily?

When there is no salt, it can actually go on, but with salt, that strong * * excites it completely.

Whether people on this side, or tribes on the other side of the ocean, believe that salt strengthens their bodies, strengthens their minds, is a gift from God, and with it life is passion.

Tribes fought for territory, prey, etc., and salt was one of the factors that provoked the battle.

According to Wacha, the salt mine occupied by the tribe was discovered hundreds of years ago. The first people to discover the salt mine failed to guard the salt mine. Even the tribe was devastated. They heard that the entire tribe had migrated to the city. There was no way, but the other tribes could not fight. In order to prevent further blows, they ran away.

After that, the salt mine battle entered the white heat, the Horn of Fire tribe did not give up this fat, finally squeezed out others and took a place, but to monopolize, their ability at the time was not enough, the tribe was small, less than a thousand people, they could seize a place, in addition to their own strength, the Thai River tribe played a great role in it, this Horn of Humanity has always remembered, and has been cooperating with the Thai River people for years.

Over the centuries, the battle over the salt mines has not stopped, but the five tribes have not changed, and it seems that the front has been united and no one else allowed to mix. So unanimous and unanimous, it looks like they have a deal out there, five tribes working together, and, in fact, there's a secret in it.

The five tribes occupying the salt mine can have fewer people, but definitely not more than the others!

“The salt mine, it's a treasure!” Wacha sentiment. That is one of the reasons why he has been emphasizing the need to recapture the salt mine.

“Elder, do you know the Reapers?” Wacha asked.

Shu Lu? Shao Xuan thought about it and nodded. “I heard it, but I heard it when I was trading in town, and I didn't know much about it. ”

The Ashley tribe, a tribe that believes in salt, has a lot of legends about salt, and it's said that the earliest salt they discovered was that one of the ancestors of the Ashley tribe saw a strange animal, which took him to a lake, and then he saw a miracle. The miracle is a salt lake.

And the totem of the Reed tribe is the strange-looking animal, called the "salt beast," which no one has ever seen before. Some say it's a Reed fiction, but the Reed have always believed in the existence of salt beasts.

No one can say exactly what is true or false, but then the six major tribes emerged to build the city, become noble slave owners and drive change in other tribes.

Salt lakes of the Ash tribe were seized and occupied by the six tribes. They were unable to recapture them. Negatively, the entire tribe was scattered. The scattered Ashley entered the six cityscapes and sometimes helped the nobles to make salt for their livelihood. However, in previous years, it was heard that the nobles had discovered a new salt spring, where some Ashley tribes were called Ashley Salt City, where they had gathered some people to build a city, and there were still a lot of people who heard that they were going to Ashley Salt City.

Of course, Wacha did not speak of the Reapers to give Shao Xuan an insistent history of the Reapers.

“The technique of reclaiming the salt made by Ash, like the casting technique of Gongjia family, this is famous among the tribes, even if the slave owners, if you invite people to make salt, it is often the reclaimed Ash. Salt made by Ashley is very expensive, mostly enjoyed by the noblemen, and others want to buy it, it takes several times more money to get it.” Wacha said.

Shao Xuan understands that, like the golden valley produced by Jinyu Tianzhuang, which is famous everywhere, from the city to the mountain tribe, has heard of it.

“But apart from the five tribes we occupy in the salt mine, no one knows that the salt we produce from the salt mine does not require a sophisticated extraction process, and the salt we get is much better than they!!” Speaking of which, Wachat is proud that his own tribe has been able to seize such a good resource, of course it is to be proud.

No wonder salt mines are rarely mentioned, which is deliberately diluting the existence of salt mines and making fewer people aware of them. Even the tribes, more than half of them do not know what the salt mine really is. Tribes were told only to use salt for their own purposes, not to trade abroad, to find someone specializing in such transactions, which they would naturally arrange. And the tribesmen, who have always followed this directive, have never made an exception.

It's not just the Horn of Fire tribe, but the other four tribes, the Red Fox, the Forest, the Mountain Wind, the Thai River, they all did the same thing, hiding from the dead.

High-quality salt does sell for a higher price, and even puts the famous Ashley on one foot, switching from six cities to something more, but it's equally dangerous.

If we sell it, this kind of thing will definitely cause the six cities to sneak around. With their style of action, we will definitely get involved in the salt mine thing. The scolding of Ashito is a precursor! Therefore, the five tribes will not divulge information at all!!

That is why the five tribes did not follow a rule until they discovered the quality of the salt mines and would never let new tribes get involved or release information.

As for the salt traded to other tribes… even in such an excellent salt mine, there is a difference between salt and salt.

“We collect salt in the salt hole, the ones at the top of the salt hole, and then we put them aside. Those are good salt, they are reserved for our own tribes, and they will be transported secretly back to the tribes in the future, and no one else will notice the difference here. ”

“You mean the salt on the top of the hole, that's what we usually eat?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Yeah, that's it. When you look at it, are those salt blocks a little red?” Wacha asks Shao Xuan.

“Indeed." At that time Shao Xuan discovered that the salt blocks he had distributed were not the same color as he had seen before, but they tasted good, and so did everyone. At that time, Shao Xuan didn't really think much about it, and he hid the Xuan machine inside.

“The salt we extract from the salt mine, as compared to the salt from the Ashley lake and the salt from the new salt springs of the slave owners, tastes stronger and has a strong sense of ambition. Normally, we don't add anything else to the roast meat, just these salts are fine, tastes great, and feels good. It's not necessarily that big of an appetite to let the warriors eat unsalted barbecue after eating. We've tried some salt from Amba City and it doesn't taste like salt from our salt mine! Sometimes the trading team comes back with some salt, but they're all poorer in quality, just covering up.” Wacha finds the tribe clever, unattractive and able to cover itself.

For tribesmen, it's not meat, it's power! Salt plays an important role in this.

“The salt at the top of the salt hole is mined for one's own use, then the salt elsewhere is mined and traded out?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Yes, all the salt we trade out is elsewhere in the cave, and although the salt is okay, it's not much better than it is at the top. There are places where salt is extracted more often than not, and the salt that is made will be sold to others. ”

Tribes don't save money, leave things for themselves, and save them for sale with something better. This behavior is stupid for them, so what they leave to their own people is the best, and what they sell is of worse quality.

This is true of the Flaming Horn, as is true of the other four tribes. Especially in the salt hole they dug up, near the surface of the salt hole, they wouldn't keep any of the salt themselves. This secret five tribes share the same mind.

So, apart from the five tribes that are here, the other tribes have no idea how good the salt quality is in this salt mine. Even if they take the salt they bought from the five tribes and go to the city to trade with people, they will not have many ideas. Even if they have ideas, they will not be strong. After all, now more and more salt springs and salt pools have been discovered. Although most of them have been occupied by the six nobles, there are still some in the hands of the tribes, so they do not come all the way from the deep mountain forest because of a salt mine.

Something happened at the salt mine, the fierce fox and the forest tribe used salt cages to help them, salt was also a little salt, the core secrets would not be revealed at all.

“Oh, Elder, you certainly haven't seen what those salt mines we just mined look like.” Vacha said, reaching to his side waist, touching out a beast leather bag with a wide mouth filled with tiny cans made of a beast bone of a fierce beast, fist size, and clogged with a wooden plug.

Vacca pulled the plug out and buttoned the pottery cans down to the palms of the spread apart.

When the jar opened, Shao Xuan saw the first look at the salt block in Wacha's hand and thought it was fresh meat! The red and white distribution, I don't know if it melts for some reason, looks even with a tender feeling, like a piece of meat that has just been chopped out and rinsed with water!

“Is this... salt?!” Shao Xuanxiao looked at it in a strange way. If you look closely, it does have the solid essence of the crystal block. When it was first mined, the crystal feel must have been clearer, but it was carried by Wacha, with some slight changes.

Wacha looked at this salt stone in his hand, and his eyes seemed to have a burning temperature, "This is what we picked up at the top of the salt hole, and when it boiled again, the salt color would be lighter, just like the one that the elders had divided up. But we mineguards usually use it directly, and it hasn't been restrained. Two days before the incident at the salt mine, I put a small piece of salt stone that had just come out in a jar and I wanted to put it in when I was cooking broth with my brothers.” When Vacha came here, staring at the burning eyes of the salt blocks cooled and seemed to think of the day.

Most of the fighters out there will grind the salt blocks with them, but some of them are more used to carrying the whole block, just like Wacha, who is stationed at the mine site, with the salt one piece at a time. In addition to making tea with some herbs, warriors sometimes consume a lot of energy and put a little salt in the kettle and flush it with a drink. It's not theoretical knowledge that they understand, it's intuition and the desire of the body, what the body needs, and they do it according to that intuition.

In addition to the usual salt, the hunted prey will also be salted, as the meat will not rot easily if these salts are applied, and can be dried again for longer.

I've heard that some of the fabric dye tribes also buy salt of slightly lower quality, and they dye it with salt in it, so the dyed cloth can be taken directly to the royal city and sold to the slave owners at high prices.

For the tribesmen, salt is distributed among the affairs of life, the battle for salt land has always existed, even if there is no crystal, salt mines, flaming horn tribes will be robbed back.

“Elder, when you go to the salt mine, we take back the salt mine, you will see more salt. When we sleep in the salt hole, we dream of these pieces of salt stone.” Wacha put the salt blocks in his hand carefully back in the can and licked his palm, thinking about something, suddenly, "I dreamed of crystals yesterday, but when I woke up, I forgot all about them, and I thought, if we keep digging down the salt hole, maybe we'll see crystals. ”

Usually, they all dig holes along the horizon, and then dig down until they're done, and the method of digging on the fox is different. Perhaps they dig down before they finish digging the first floor.

Shao Xuan thought it was also possible that the crystals he found in the Bat Mountain crater, in addition to those in the crater, many others were deep in the mountain.

Perhaps salt from salt mines is different and related to crystals. How many salt mines, mountains or mountains, and how many crystals?

“The chief decided to act three days later, right?” Wacha asked.

Due to the injuries, this time the conscription did not want Wacha to follow him. He was not called at the meeting, but the weapons distributed to Wacha were kept, and the conscription wanted to wait for him to heal before giving them.

“Well, three days later, we went that way separately from the Thai people. Go three ways.” Shao Xuando.

Wacha grabbed the head, he didn't want to miss this operation, “I went up to the mountain to find the chief, now I'm almost recovered, I can definitely go out with the team in three days! ”

Watching Wacha go up the mountain, Shao Xuan did not follow, but walked towards the duck shed.

The green fat duck just poked his head out of the duck shed. He probably wanted to go out for a walk. He saw Shao Xuan come and retract his head quickly.

Pushing the door open, Shao Xuan saw the fat ducks squatting in the duck's nest. The big wings covered the duck eggs. Those duck eggs must have been good hardness. Otherwise, they would have been squatted by this fat duck.

Shao Xuan walked over and didn't care how many eggs the duck blew up. “Wings up, let me see how many eggs you grabbed. ”

Fat ducks don't move, a little hesitant.

“If I don't rob you, I'll see how many.” Shao Xuan added.

The fat duck swallowed it slowly and retrieved its wings.

“Get up and stand aside. I can't see you squatting in such a large area.” Shao Xuan waved beside him.

Fat ducks are reluctant to move away.

Shao Xuan counted, 31 eggs, different colors and sizes, not stolen from the same nest, but also hatch-resistant, if it was the same as the previous ducks, it would have hatched out.

“Keep working on it and hatch it up early. ”

As he emerged from the duck shed, Shao Xuan discovered that the sky began to drift with snow.

The snow arrived earlier this year, hopefully the salt mines will compete and there will be no snowstorms.
