Sword and Magic and Clear Flow

Ivy Town was originally just a resting place for adventurers and professional mercenaries who went in and out of the Nightwind Forest. Later, the business of accommodation and catering started, and many magicians and alchemists came to live for a while when the magic plants were mature. Purchase freshly picked fresh materials, concoct them on the spot and take them away.

In the season when there is no magic plant production, the town is relatively depressed, and there are some active people who reclaim the surrounding forests and take advantage of the good environment of Yefeng Forest to artificially plant magic plants that are in short supply.

However, the higher the level of magic plants, the more difficult it is to grow them on a large scale. In order to prevent them from failing for many years, they also planted a lot of flowers and fruit trees, which is at least a basic income.

Later, not only were there an endless stream of businessmen who bought flowers to refine essential oils and bought fruits to make jams, but also beekeepers who used flower fields or orchards to keep bees came and settled down. The honey and beeswax they produced could be transported eastward from Hailibo Port to Long Island. And the coastal city-state of Sous, which can be transported to the inland from a tributary of the Liuguang River to the north, and the reputation of Ivy nectar gradually spread throughout Pislan.

The lush forest is connected to the endless sea of ​​flowers. There are calendulas with layered petals and swaying in the breeze, or red or pink and white camellias, which are always suitable for heavy makeup. The flowers are clustered in pure white, fairy-like Ginger butterfly flutters, and azaleas, which are most familiar to and loved by Chinese people, bloom all over the mountains... Several wooden sheds stand among the flowers, and inside are rows of beehives. Hardworking bees come and go. Honey is available in all seasons.

Today, the scale of Ivy Town is really not small. The road connecting Yefeng Forest in the west, Hailibo City in the east, and the streets leading to different river ports in the north and south intersect, dividing the whole town into four parts. There have been differences in the long development. division of functions.

The only thing in common is that the houses and pavilions are all relocated to the original trees. There are many tall red bean trees and phoenix trees in the town.

The operation team felt the rare tranquility here, and the familiar flowers and plants made them feel as if they were in a tropical town on the earth.

"It's not the right time for us to come. Wait until May and June, when the leaves of the phoenix tree are like the feathers of a flying phoenix, and the flowers are like a crown of a phoenix. That's beautiful." The chief guard of the Dragon Clan said.

He is very familiar with the town of Ivy, first he took a group of people to the mercenary union and sent a task to screen and weigh the baskets of fresh white leaf orchids and other harvests, and soon local craftsmen came to negotiate the price, as long as In two days, these magic plants can be dried, ground, and processed into powder.

The business of meat-cutting, deboning, and fur tanning is also handed over here. There are also many foreign merchants who come here to buy magic-planted monsters. A bustling magic material trading market has spontaneously formed around the trade union.

Several dragon guards worked together to lift the two manticores out, there was a burst of exclamation from around, and there were people asking prices one after another on the spot, but they were all driven away by the chief guard.

"I'm going to stay in the town for two days. You take care of these two and make them more energetic." The chief guard said and asked the person in charge of the mercenary union to take care of them who were blindly fed, tied up and half dead along the way. Manticore dragged away.

"This is a gift to the King and Queen of Dragon Island, if one hair is missing..."

"Don't dare, I will definitely take good care of you!" The person in charge took the gold coins and promised again and again.

At this time, there was a sudden riot in the market, and the two groups of people confronted each other.

The members of the action team had seen the legendary holy-rank monster black shadow six-winged horse from a distance when they were in the prince's palace.

I saw the guy who was all black and looked like a horse but not a horse said: "Xi Lulu~"

After hearing this, the patrol captain who was traveling with him pointed his spear/gun at the leader of the mercenary on the opposing side with confidence, and asked, "What's in your carriage?!"

"Oh, what else is there, just a cart of green physalis." The mercenary leader looked wronged and wronged, "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere."

Patrol Captain: "Open it and let me see!"

"Okay, look." The mercenary leader was very calm, and the two men lifted the oilcloth on the carriage, and it turned out that they were all the low-level magic plants green physalis abundant in this season.

The captain stretched out his hand to paw and paw, but found nothing unusual.

The black shadow six-winged horse: "Hey, hey." After saying that, it made a movement of pawing the ground with its claws.

The patrol captain nodded, and summoned the soldiers to plunge their spears into the mound of Physalis hay, pry and lift, and a layer of wooden boards was lifted, and the magic plants on the upper layer were scattered all over the ground, revealing the space on the lower layer, which contained three The corpses of Gift beasts crowded together.

The mercenary leader's face changed, and he was about to run away after pushing away from the crowd, but was caught and tied up within a few steps.

The dark and long hairy face of the black shadow six-winged horse made a bit of a sense of embarrassment: "咴儿~咴儿~"

The patrol captain translated for it: "As long as your means are not enough, don't even think about fooling around."

The onlookers: "!" It turned out that the cargo box of the carriage was divided into two layers, and the special smell of physalis was used to cover up the smell of blood!

Members of the action team: "!" It turns out that people can understand horses and translate!

"It seems that the "Endangered Warcraft Protection Law" has been implemented. Fortunately, we abide by the law and don't take chances to poach." The chief guard sighed.

Wait, human-animal translation, no one finds it amazing?Seeing that the aborigines were all surprised, Hamburg suppressed the questions that came to his lips.

The black shadow six-winged horse was not mentioned in the original book "Travel of Pislan", so it doesn't have such an image in the game. Sean couldn't help but stare at it non-stop. By the way, he used the system function to record all The tall and straight, cool figure of the lower holy rank warcraft god horse.

"Bo'er~" The black shadow six-winged horse noticed Xiao En's line of sight, openly let others see, and stretched out three pairs of bat-like fleshy wings to shake, posing in a posture that he thought was handsome.

After the patrol captain caught the poacher, he slapped the horse in the face with his backhand: "Don't play hooligans with the crowd! Let's go!"

The black shadow six-winged horse let out a "嘿~" and went on patrolling aggrievedly.

Sean: "?" What's the situation?

The chief guard of the Dragon Clan couldn't bear to look straight at him, and patted Xiao En on the shoulder: "Don't take it to heart, they have this virtue."

Sean: "..." Forget it, don't ask, ignorance is bliss.

They then stayed in a nearby hotel, and at the same time repeated the same trick, released the intimate secret of the game props, and looked for clues to Professor Zhang in the current map of Ivy Town.

Xiao En and Gu Qinghe squeezed into a bathroom to wash away the fatigue of the journey. After each of them lathered their faces with shaving cream, they shaved in front of the mirror while expressing affection.

"Have you shaved clean? Let me check." Sean said, holding Lao Gong's handsome face and stamping two quality inspection stamps.

"Let me check it instead." Lu Qinghe's old face was slightly hot, rubbing his lover's ear and temples together, rubbing his lips against the delicate skin, feeling his enthusiastic response, thinking to himself that it's been a long time since I've done it, why don't you take advantage of the atmosphere to proclaim adultery during the day, Stuffed with soy sauce...

"Have you two finished washing?" Hamburg shouted outside the bathroom: "We found Professor Zhang! Let's go and see together!"

Just as the sleeping dragon was about to wake up, he turned over and continued to sleep, but he couldn't sleep well, and the thief felt uncomfortable.

Gu Qinghe: "..."

"It's finished washing, wait a minute!" Xiao En responded, and lightly pecked and kissed him, comforting the depressed old Gong, and whispered: "Let's go, let's go tonight... eh?"

Lu Qinghe: "Okay, you get dressed, I'll go out and beat him up first."

The caring little secretary in Hamburg uploaded and shared the route map. They walked along the stone roads of the town and in the alleys full of exotic styles. After a while, they came to a blooming rose garden.

Exquisite hollowed-out iron signboards, quaint low stone walls, and a rose tree as tall as a person protrude from the wall. Every corner is like a painting.

"You are here." Professor Zhang stood among the flaming flowers, his gray hair was carefully groomed, and he held a cute long-crested starling bird in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face, like an amiable Grandpa next door.

Everyone's excited and anxious emotions were gradually calmed down in the gossip with them.

Zhan Wensong briefly explained the tasks of the action team and the situation at home after Professor Zhang traveled across the country, and asked, "We found the cave where you hid before. How have you been through the past two years? Are you in good health?"

"I suffered a little when I first came here, but it was cured in Ivy Town, and I have everything I should have here. I also used technology to invest in shares, and cooperated with others in the cosmetics business. Now my life has stabilized and my life is pretty good."

Professor Zhang regretfully watched the little bird fly back to the owner and then disappeared, and said: "The town came to promote the "Endangered Warcraft Protection Law", I guessed that the old guys who came together must be out of order , was about to join them in Roberia."

"We can assign manpower to escort you there." Zhan Wensong said: "Dean Li and Professor Yang are both in Prince Stabelle's palace, neither of them are experts in related fields. With you here, the production of the second-generation cabin Efficiency will definitely improve a lot.”

Professor Zhang responded happily: "I can finally go home! Does our family, Wang Shu, miss me? Did he cry? Did he grow taller?"

"She is the boss behind the rescue operation. I have never seen her cry. She is still 1.1 meters tall." Zhan Wensong answered one by one, "Our guild name is still chosen by Wang Shu, called 'Where is Dad'."

"Sigh, Wang Shu is a filial child, and thank you for taking the risk to come to the rescue." Professor Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with treating the AI ​​as a child's favorite, but just watched her grow old year by year, and she was still six years old. The appearance of a [-]-year-old child, occasionally there is a trace of sadness in my heart.

"After I finish handing over the industry here, I will go to Robilia to join the old guys."

"Is it 666 Shenhualu Water Industry?" Zhan Wensong asked.

"That's right, you guys use it too? Does it taste the same?" Professor Zhang said with a smile, "I'm here, I'll take you to see the toilet water workshop."

Toilet water is a perfume product made of about 70% alcohol with herbal extracts, plant essences, distilled water, sodium citrate to prevent precipitation and antioxidants. The core is the production of alcohol.

Professor Zhang just started to directly distill high-concentration alcohol from grain wine purchased on the market, so the cost is very high. A small bottle of 666 Shenhualu water the size of a palm needs to be sold for 2 gold coins to pay back the cost.

"Now this set of joint bioprocessing equipment is designed according to the situation here, and I hired a few dwarf craftsmen to make it. It has been put into production for three months and has just reached the balance of payments." Professor Zhang said.

Combined bioprocessing technology combines saccharification and fermentation into one reaction system, using corn, wheat straw, bran, bagasse, sawdust and other plant wastes containing a large amount of lignocellulose as raw materials, using the synergy of enzymes and microbial complexes Degradation of cellulose produces alcohol.

Temperature control, fermentation, degradation, purification, testing...every link is controlled by staff wearing one-piece overalls and masks. They were trained/taught by Professor Zhang. There are also A few men in white coats were growing anaerobic bacteria.

Professor Zhang looked proud: "They are all employees I recruited here. I have to say that it is so convenient to use magic in experiments."

Zhan asked Song: "So...why do you make toilet water?"

Professor Zhang: "When I was lost in the tropical rainforest, I was tortured by all kinds of bugs. I always thought that there would be toilet water. After I came out, I finally put it into practice. I did it. There are still a few more. There are different kinds of fragrances, come, let me show you the place where essential oils are refined."

Everyone: "..." They immediately thought of a hundred ways to use alcohol, the kind that makes a lot of money every minute, especially the officers and soldiers thought about it a little deeper, medical treatment, fuel, weapons...

I didn't expect Professor Zhang to have such a technology in his hands, and he didn't develop in any direction other than making daily necessities. It can only be said that scientists' minds are very pure, which is different from dirty mortals like them who always think about money...

The members of the action team helped to collect dried rose petals and threw them into a large furnace. Under the furnace, water was heated for heating. Steam was collected through iron tanks and then condensed to obtain condensate.After standing for a few hours, the water and oil are separated into layers, and the upper layer is rose essential oil, and the remaining liquid has more or less essential oil components dissolved in it, which is the so-called pure dew.

Every twenty or thirty kilograms of petals can make almost one liter of essential oil.

In addition to the petal and fragrant leaf distillation method, there is also the peel seed pressing method, which is to squeeze the chopped and squeezed peel, let the juice flow out and collect it, and separate the essential oil through a centrifuge. This method can produce lemons, citrus, almonds, Aromatic essential oils such as rosehip seeds.

Perfume is simpler than toilet water, and it is also a blended product of essence and alcohol. Because there are no insect repellent herbal ingredients, the taste is more delicate and distant.After visiting the flower field, steam room, and blending and bottling room, everyone became fragrant.

Essential oil dew can be sold directly in bottles and sealed with a cork. It can also be made into moisturizer with oil. Finely ground pearl powder is added to make face powder. Local beeswax is bleached and decolorized to make white honey. Wax, combined with essence and ready-made flower and fruit pigments become lip balms, lipsticks and rouges of different colors...Professor Zhang's workshop has formed a complete cosmetics production chain.

Otherwise, how can someone have a daughter? Their thinking is different from that of ordinary old men.

Players and officers and soldiers never paid attention to these things before crossing, and after crossing, they lived a rough life. Even the soaps they made were simple and rude sulfur soap and transparent soap, which were inferior to the cosmetics industry that can make people beautiful. I don't know how many grades.

Seeing everyone's eyes, Professor Zhang also knew that he was misunderstood as the grandpa of a girl's heart, and quickly waved his hands to defend: "I just made a mosquito repellent toilet water, and other things are already here!"

Everyone: "Oh—" I don't believe it.

"Really, Pislan Continental has quite a complete range of cosmetics. At most, I can help refine pigments and design new packaging to make it more refined." Professor Zhang blushed: "Besides, I have only lived in this town for a year. It’s such a big business with the capital here... Well, the two of them are my partners.”

A pair of women walked towards them, one with a honey complexion and the other with a fairer complexion, but they looked exactly the same, obviously a pair of twins.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my elder sister Chelimoya, and this is my younger sister Guawa, who have been in the flower oil business in Ivy Town for more than ten years." Professor Zhang said: "They are all my... juniors .”

The two women are both from the sea tribe. They wear very cool clothes, and their skin is well maintained. They can't tell their age. Their appearance is similar to that of humans, except that the ears are shaped like fish fins.

It is said that the ear holes of the Hai people can also close on their own, and they will close their ears when they quarrel, which is very convenient for "not listening or listening to bastard chanting scriptures", and they can concentrate on scolding each other.

"It turns out that Uncle Zhang comes from a big family." Guawa was more lively and hugged a dozen handsome young men one by one. Chelimoya was more reserved and just nodded with a smile.

Professor Zhang: "Yes, they just found me, and my amnesia was cured in one fell swoop—so now I have to go home."

Everyone: "..." Amnesia is really a symptom that is easy to get sick and easy to recover from.

Professor Zhang was grateful to them for taking him in. He didn't hide his secrets at this time, so he wrote down the formula of toilet water and the production process of alcohol as a gift.

The Haizu sisters congratulated Professor Zhang on his family reunion, and even though they were very sad, they accepted his departure.They also refused to accept this heavy gift in vain, and in the past two days, they converted his technology shares into cash—a 100 million gold coin dwarf bank magic crystal card and gave him it.

Zhan Wensong thought of the team of adventurers he met in Yefeng Forest. They lived like savages in the deep mountains and old forests. If they found pandas, the bounty seemed to be only 100 million—it was impossible to find them. "Cosmetics is a profiteering industry everywhere. You can easily make money by planting flowers and selling oil with delicious fragrance..."

"Isn't it? They are all extracted from ordinary plants, and they are sold as expensive as Zhonggao Mozhi." Professor Zhang was deeply touched.

After parting with the Haier sisters, Professor Zhang quietly said to the members of the action team: "Look, one of them is dark-skinned and the other is fair-skinned. Do they look like the Haier sisters?"

Everyone: "?" What?Haier?That pair of cartoon characters in bikinis?

"The two of them happen to be twins who look exactly the same, but they don't look like Haier." Professor Zhang said, "I've wanted to complain about this stalk for a long time, but it's a pity that no one here understands me—fortunately, you are here!"

Everyone: "...well, it's pretty similar." Just be happy.

In the early morning two days later, the sun shone into the town of Ivy, and it was coated with a shimmer of orange red.Zhan Wensong dispatched two outstanding officers and soldiers to escort Professor Zhang back to the capital Robilia, and the remaining 13 members continued to follow Prince Pannabo and his party to the port city of Hailibo, where they will take a boat to their final destination—— —Dragon Island Kingdom.
