Sword and Magic and Clear Flow

Chapter 101

"This is my home—please live here as you please, and don't be polite to me!" Tanzhelin's smile never went down along the way. In the fresh air, you can overlook half of Agarve, the bustling port and the endless sea to the south.

The city of Agarve is surrounded by mountains and the sea, with beautiful scenery and well-developed commerce. It is the largest seaport city in the south of Long Island. It is calm and calm all year round. It can go directly to any coastal city-state and islands on the sea in Sousse, as well as along the southern coastline of the mainland. The long-distance voyage route leading to Salmon and the Duchy of Sail Xien.

Tanzhelin introduced his family again: "This is my mother, Olenzhi."

"Welcome! Don't be restrained, you just treat this place as your own home!" After hugging her son, Olianzhi reached out to hug his friends.

Xiao En and Gu Qinghe had to squat down and hug this enthusiastic dwarf old lady.Although it is the mansion of dwarves, their living habits and architectural aesthetics have converged with those of the dragon and sea people here. The interior is spacious and the ceiling is high. The room prepared for the two is also equipped with new furniture that fits human height. .

Tanzhelin is a dwarven businessman who was introduced to the action team by Kashu.

Xiao and Gu were going to the south of Longdao to promote Chinese brand daily chemical products, but Tanzhelin, who was born in Agarve, seized the opportunity.

When he learned that apart from the requirements for unified packaging, the price of the most critical production guidance and formula technology of those products was almost the same as free gift, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

Of course, there is also a rigid rule that the selling price must be low, but in the case of small profits but high sales, the profits will not be low.

After Xiao and Gu settled down, they immediately entered the work mode: "It's not too late, let's go and see your factory."

Tan Zhelin couldn't wait for it: "Okay, please come with me, the factory is nearby."

The action team also sought cooperation after taking a fancy to his family's already existing aloe vera gel business. The site and production equipment are all ready-made, and with a little modification and a few new assembly lines, other daily chemical products can be produced.

The dwarves originated in the northern part of the Pislan continent and are the most populous race. Because of their special anti-magic physique and racial talent, they are all focused on manual creation. It can be said that without them, the technology of this world would be difficult to develop to the present level. level.

The ancestors of Tanzhelin's family are also Snowmans. In order to avoid the disaster of war, they fled all the way south and finally settled in Long Island.When the Snowman Kingdom was still a dwarf regime, the cruel system in which all the defeated families were slaves in the mines forced them to abandon their homeland and find another way out, fleeing as far as they could.

The hot climate and strong sunlight on Dragon Island are not very friendly to the northern dwarves, and it will take a long time to adapt to the environment. Their ancestors began to plant and collect aloe vera on a large scale to treat sunburn.After more than ten generations of development, the formula of aloe vera gel with various functions has been perfected. In addition to sunburn, it has miraculous effects on burns, mosquito bites, and wound inflammation. It is also one of women's favorite cosmetics.

Now the Tanzhelin family is the most powerful businessman in Agarve, and their caravans are well-known in the capital La Rocaxia and the coastal city-states of Sous.

The local dwarves in Agarve also have an artisan guild for the purpose of helping each other. Even if they are not related by blood, they are very close to each other. After all, it is not easy for everyone to live away from home.

The production equipment of the new daily chemical products was made by local blacksmiths and mechanics. After they tried the efficacy of sulfur soap, they were even willing to turn down other jobs and work overtime to make the assembly line first.Without him, the body hair of the dwarves is too thick, the ghost weather here makes people sweat, and the work of the blacksmith is inseparable from the stove. It is dirty, greasy and itchy all day long. Sulfur soap really solves the big/troublesome.

The sales of sunscreens are not bad here. Tanzhelin has been in the cosmetics business all his life, but he never thought that ordinary face creams can have sun protection effects after adding zinc white. Zinc white is zinc oxide, which has been used as a white paint for oil painting before. use.

"Aren't the pigments all poisonous? It's okay to use this?" He was a little uneasy when he saw the formula. Many metals and minerals are poisonous.

Sean dug a little face painting demonstration on the spot: "Don't worry, zinc white is very safe, as long as you don't inhale it, it's fine, but it's a bit sticky after application."

Besides, what is zinc oxide? Women in ancient times were extremely crazy for whitening. Bird droppings, lead powder, mercury... dared to rub everything on their faces, and those who took arsenic/cream in pursuit of sick whiteness were the real poison.Later, tanning became popular again, such as bronze lotion, tanning machine, tanning salon, and some people went to the hospital for melanin transplantation... It can be said that the popularity of the earth has always been a mystery. As a native of the earth, it is difficult for him to understand .

Tan Zhelin breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not afraid of being sticky, it's better than suffering from sunburn."

"By the way, there is one more thing I hope you can help me find out." After Xiao En strangled the logic, he dared to make up anything: "My uncle was separated from his family in the early years, and he may be living in this area or the city-state of Sousse."

They received messages from their teammates one after another. The Principality of Lai Xien found two professors, and the Principality of Moonlight Forest and Salmon also found a few targets. The promotion of products in the inland areas has achieved remarkable results, and good news is also frequent after the beginning of spring.

As they predicted, the professors will contact the action team in places where they can buy luxury daily necessities, especially in big towns. Even if they can’t get together for a while, they will send a letter to report that they are safe. So far, they have found 42 professors, only 8 left!

And the eight professors are experts in the fields of chemistry, mathematics, microelectronics, and physics. They are all men, aged between 8 and 55. Before the time travel, they were healthy and energetic, and they were working hard on the front line of scientific research. .If they want to survive and develop in a different world, they have a more common language with the dwarves who also don't know magic, and they are likely to be engaged in manual manufacturing, mechanical metallurgy and other jobs.

Tan Zhelin: "No problem, what does your uncle look like?"

Sean: "Looks like me, older, about 60 or [-] years old." The facial features of the oriental face are peaceful, and the temperament is relatively similar.

Just as humans can't tell the difference between the dwarves, the dwarves are also a little face-blind when they see humans. Tan Zhelin wondered: "This...with all due respect, you humans all look about the same. What color are your hair and eyes? Do you have any portraits?"

"That's not true..." There are photo data in the game system, but only the system host can see it. It is too much a test of art skills to want to draw exactly the same.

Fortunately, during the war years, the Pislan Continent is very peaceful now, and 8 uncles were "lost" at once, and there is no reason for it.Sean thought for a while, and decided to be vague, whichever he found was which: "Black hair and black eyes—but when you get older, you may have gray hair mixed in, and your hair will be less."

Gu Qinghe: "..."

The professors were of different heights, short, fat, and thin, but whether it was well-maintained black hair, or gray hair after time travel, the extinct hair follicles cannot be resurrected from the dead, and the partial hair loss is indeed common—there is nothing wrong with the description .

They were talking, and the dwarf mechanic who was adjusting the assembly line equipment listened, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Hey, I seem to know your lost uncle!"

"Is it so tall and thin—" He measured it: "The hair on the back of the head has fallen out, and I usually like to comb the front hair to cover the bald parts, and I especially like to be clean..."

Such a talk is very visual, and Tan Zhelin suddenly understood: "I also remembered, is your uncle named Ilya? Last time the flower seedlings in the plantation fell ill and failed to harvest, and the potion was bought from him. It is called [-]-fold dilution of potassium permanganate, sprayed several times after emergence, and the disease did not reappear!"

Professor Yi's name is in line with Pislan's pronunciation rules, and the aborigines sound friendly when pronounced it. Sean was overjoyed: "Where is he?"

Dwarven Mechanic: "He used to work in my brother's quarry, and now he's in the stone shop in town—let me show the way."

Sean nodded and said, "Thank you."

They didn't expect to find the target as soon as they took the dwarf's route, which was a surprise.

When Xiao and Gu came to the stone store, Professor Yi was busy writing letters.

Ajave's daily chemical products factory has just been built, and the products sold in the city are still the products they shipped from the capital of Long Island, and the address marked on the package is Arokasha.

Professor Yi saw that there was something that the visitor didn't understand, so he burst into tears, threw the pen and paper and hugged the two young men: "My dear ones, I'm looking forward to you coming!"

Compared with the photos in the information, Professor Yi's hair is much darker and mottled, but it is still neatly combed with hairspray, covering the top of his head meticulously.The main ingredient of the hair gel is also aloe vera gel. It has to be said that Tangerine can make such a big family business because of the wide application of aloe vera.

Several dwarves who made the background board were also moved to tears: "Your uncle and nephew have such a good relationship, congratulations on the family reunion!"

After finally calming down, Professor Yi sat down with two members of the action team and had a good talk.

"It's good that everyone is safe!" He said, "Is there still 7 people left? I have also inquired about the southern part of Dragon Island and Agarve. They should not be here, and they are probably in the Free City of Soss, or some other place." Islands—the focus is still on big cities.”

Professor Yi talked about his own experience. He was unlucky when he first came here, and he was stranded on a deserted and inhabited island. After living like a savage for more than ten days, he finally came with a merchant ship that stopped at the island to replenish fresh water. Go to the Kingdom of Dragon Island and find a job in a quarry under the introduction of the captain—mostly non-metallic mineral deposits, such as limestone, granite, quartz, graphite, and phosphate rock, as well as a small amount of metal mines.

As long as you have a little strength, know how to operate machinery, and don't understand the language, you can do this job very well.And after he learned Pislan's common language, he immediately rose from a manual laborer to a mental worker, and took up his old job - preparing chemicals for ore processing, impurity removal and purification, and metal etching. leap.

After being rich and free, Professor Yi's obsession with cleanliness occurred again, and it can't be called "addiction", which is the most normal need of Virgo people.

When I was living on a deserted island, I had no conditions. It would be good if I could find food and drink. I can make do with anything. Now that I have the conditions, of course I have to live a clean life—especially those dwarves who are unkempt and sloppy, forcing them to shave their beards. Professor Yi would not do such a thing that violated racial traditions, but it would be difficult for them to live a clean life.

Then the development of germicidal disinfectants in this area is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Professor Yi obtained materials locally, obtained manganese dioxide and potassium hydroxide from various manganese ores, heated them to produce potassium manganate, and then oxidized and electrolyzed them in an alkaline solution to obtain potassium permanganate. The current used in the electrolysis process was Provided by a self-made carbon-zinc battery. After in-depth understanding of the application of magic ore, it was discovered that Pislan also has a process similar to "electrolysis" and "electroplating", but the energy used is different, so it is troublesome and low-power. battery.

Potassium permanganate can be called universal. It is not only a commonly used oxidant, but also can treat polluted waste water. It also has the functions of disinfection, antisepsis, deodorization, decolorization, and bleaching. It is mainly used for disinfection. It is used for wound cleaning, soil sterilization, and soaking seeds and fruits Tableware... But this thing is poisonous, it will corrode and burn the skin, and there are different dilution ratios for different purposes, the thicker the better.

Under his guidance, Professor Yi's dwarf boss and colleagues lived a healthier life and accepted the awkward Chinese pronunciation of potassium permanganate.

The reason why cheap potassium permanganate really took the high road and gained a foothold in the city of Agarve was because Professor Yi used it to save an adventurer who was accidentally infected with parasites in the dense forest. His identity is not simple, he is this The owner of the territory, the only heir of a certain Dragon Duke.

"Because the bishop of the Temple of Light here couldn't be cured, the Duke personally took his son to the capital to find a more powerful priest or shaman. When he passed by a small town near the quarry, he heard that there was a panacea. Catch...cough, please go over."

Professor Yi recalled: "What can I do? I'm not a doctor. I saw horny scales on his chest and back, which looked like lizards. So I bathed him in potassium permanganate solution and wiped his infected skin. He was cured as a lizard. After he was cured, the duke was going to arrest me... Well, I invited him to his mansion as a private doctor, and I spent a lot of time trying to persuade him to give up."

This is a commonly used method to remove ectoparasites from pet lizards. It is common for raising snakes, crabs, pet turtles, and ornamental fish. In addition to aquariums, it is also effective for livestock hoof rot...

Xiao En, Gu Qinghe: "..." The Dragon Clan does have some reptile habits, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"The dwarves are used to calling it potassium permanganate, but the dragon nobles of Agarve call it 'Amethyst'. Once it becomes a crystal, the price will rise. Pack it well. A small bottle the size of your thumb will cost ten gold coins." Originally, the raw material of this thing is very cheap, and it is not difficult to produce. I saw that the duke was a little bit annoyed by his domineering look, so I charged a high price with the purpose of slaughtering it. Then I earned the capital to open a store in the center of Agarve."

Professor Yi also said: "Because the packaging is different, the nobles here can't tell the difference between potassium permanganate and 'Amethyst'. Of course, the dwarves still buy it at the original price, a big bottle for one silver, which can prevent athlete's foot and underarm odor... Let us Get rich quietly, don't make a fuss."
