"No, usually not shed. I'll shed the tribe. But if you're a human tribe leader, you won't shed it where others see it. I'm gonna. I have a body.."

"Body surface?"

"I mean,..."

Whee sighed a little.

There are concepts that are not well understood between different races It's the law..

'I mean, even if I use the same words, it's like this..'

Fortunately, Whee's explanation was not necessary.

Owen has met a lot of humans as a drifter..

"No,I know about the body. It's not hard to understand. If the tribal leader looks weak, the warriors of the tribe are weak You think you're a person, right? But don't tell the other Lizardmen that. You won't understand.."

"Why?"

"At least we have something more important than body.."

Owen and Bent Lacrak, tears flowing through their jaws, dripping on the floor I saw the thing..

When Whee tried to ask him what it was, Lakrak looked back at Owen and Whee.

Lakrak said, lightly stealing tears with his thumb.

"Oh, my god, isn't it Owen??"

"It's late.."

"No, it's late, but ...It's not too late. I got a chance to get a star.."

The two approached Lakrak..

"So tell me, your heart is better, Tribal Chief.."

"Who's the human friend next to you??"

"Met on the way. It's an errand boy of automatism. You're here to tell me the words of the Lord of Automaticity.."

Whee gave an example..

"It's called the whirl of automatism.."

Lakrak looked down at Whee, and called Owen with a hand.

Lacrak and Owen spoke a few words in a whisper for a moment.

I tried to overheard the whee, whose ears were as bright as my eyes, but I couldn't hear them..

'...I don't feel good..'

Lakrak said.

"You'll be tired of coming a long way, but I'm sorry. We have to have a long night. So I want to see Yongmu first, but what about it? Whipped?"

"Good.."

"Okay. Come along.."

Whee was prepared to a certain extent.

Lizardman warriors are running out on either side of the tent, or Lakrak is running out. I didn't want to be surprised if I pulled my sword..

But that didn't happen..

He was able to enter the largest tent with Lakrak.

"So, the service is?"

He was in a low position, unbuckled one of his pockets and handed it to Lakrak.

"First of all, you get this gift.."

"Well."

Lakrak took his pocket and unscrewed it..

What was inside looked like a piece of dark white stone.

Lakrak took it in his hand and recognized it right away.

"It's rock salt.."

"Example."

"Is This the Gift of Automatism Holy Week?"

"Example."

I knew it wasn't just a gift..

Salt itself is a precious thing, but only a lump of rock salt in a fist If you say it's a tribal gift, it would be an insult..

Lakrak says that this is not for insulting the Holy Lord of automatism. I knew it..

The context was present in this rock salt.

Once, automaticity is a real exhaust wall that is not found in the current era Had.

There are cases where agricultural races defend villages through woodcuts. The wooden wooden book is loose, and the earth-stacked Saturn is also maintenance Given the manpower that needs to be exhausted, it is called a great wall Can not.

Until the development of proper building technology and consecration, the agricultural races There was a lack of walls of this kind to protect.

On the other hand, the ancient ruins of Automaticity are Saturn, but a whopping 5 meters It was over high, and it was mysterious..

Saturn has mud soldiers who self-repair when the castle collapses It was functional, dull and slow, but not very capable of combat. In similar cases, it could be used as a troop to defend the castle.

In addition, automaticity had geographical advantages.

There were two ways to go from the north of the peninsula to the north-west. One is through the wilderness, the other is below him. It was through a rugged mountain valley..

Both paths can't be called good for drifters, but both paths Those who knew all of them generally preferred the mountain valley.

The first reason is that it's a wilderness where people can easily get lost and wander. Because the mountain valley along the road is less dangerous. The second reason was because the distance is shortened a lot, and the third is It was because of automatism..

May the fountain appear like a miracle when water to drink and food to eat fall in the wilderness You have to pray, but automaticity drifts minimal drinkable water Degree provided.

'That's what I mean....'

Automaticity was blocking the way to the continent..

Automaticity itself does not stop the middle of the mountain valley, but it does not stop the middle of the mountain valley. If you have enough troops for automatism, you always have a back when you pass that way. I was anxious..

Lacrak is currently neutral with black scaly Lizardman, although automaticity is Even if you are maintaining a relationship, take profit with just one betrayal If you can, the humans of automatism can do that enough. Thought.

'I don't know if we will move on to that wide land in the future.... The Blue Worm God borders the continent and the north. Then we need to ensure the safety of the road to the mountain valley..'

When you exit the mountain valley, you can see the north and north-west of the continent It leads to the road..

'And there's a problem as important as this road..'

Automatism was not simply an ancient ruins built in a secluded place.

There was a salt mine inside the automaton.

'Salt.'

The human shortage in automatism is not so rigid, so the amount of mining is large. Although, it was salt.

Salt was an essential element, especially in herding.

Predators or omnivores get into the body by eating other animals Sodium uses can be maintained, but herbivores have not. Plants alone cannot maintain sodium in the body.

Because herbivores consume minerals and have salinity He licks stones and swallows dirt.

But people artificially give them food, and they keep moving a long way. In the case of cattle, there is little or no opportunity to do so.

Herbivores with a lack of sodium in the body are caused by hyponatremia From vomiting or upset stomach, you may eventually die from kidney function damage There was. More salt, especially in the case of the most important pregnant individuals in herding Needed.

The herding of the black scales tribe has been persistent since it has been on track to some extent. Needed a large amount of salt.

Even if you're not a herdsman, salt is used in many places.

As well as matching the liver of the dish, the scale of the lack of black scales As it grows, basic smoking technology makes it difficult to store meat We had to develop salting technology, and also dye technology and leather tanning The same chemical treatment, when something does not rot, do something When washing, when burial, the lack of black scales for such purposes It was not used, but it was used as a fertilizer, and as money in itself.

'And I knew that quite a large amount of transactions came from automatism..'

The salt from the far shore is expensive when it comes inland There is a lot of salt that does not fit in the resin, and there is a lot of salt that is broken in the salt lake. Did. Automaticity was the largest salt production site in the vicinity.

'I mean, I handed you a hunk of rock salt from that place....'

Whi said.

"This is the first rock salt that the Holy Lord of Automaticity hands over without charge."

"If it's the first, it's the second, it's the third.."

"And then there will be, too.."

With a bearded face under a leather bandana flipped over on his bent head I laughed..

"You can get it.."

Lakrak nodded and held the rock salt in his hand.

And he gave strength to his grasp of rock salt.

Rock salt splintered and flowed between Lakrak's fingers.

Lakrak whisked his hand and said, " Oh, my god.".

"Tell him you're well received.."

Whi shook his teeth..

"What did you do?"

"Oh, you don't know because you don't have a god. This is just what... It is one of the ritual rituals. Sprinkle one small lump of rock salt on the floor... Well, God is pleased. You know that.."

There is no god in the Humans of automatism, but the Warping is a shameless lie Knew.

"It was a gift of Automatism Holy Week.."

"It's just a small lump of rock salt. And I used it well. That's what it was.?"

"You know that's not the intention. In addition, the second and third rock salts were also said by the Lord of Automiseong. Didn't I tell you? It's not just a lump of film like that.."

"I heard that Automiseong Seongju had a lot of riches, but I only used one person It's extravagant to send rock salt that much. You're right. I want you to get more stuff to trade next time. Thank god it's not the rainy season.."

Whee nearly got angry..

But it wasn't that the races were different and the horses weren't working..

Lakrak cut the context of a hunk of rock salt handed to him by Whi.

A somewhat rough, but not entirely rude, diplomatic procedure has been completed Will.

Somehow, seemingly, Lakrak received salt, and he used it..

Automisung Seongju couldn't say anything..

'You look like a seasoned lizard..'

Whee endured the anger.

"Let's talk more properly. Why did you refuse? Don't you need salt?"

Lakrak sat down and looked out of the tent. He seemed to be looking at the stars..

"I'm not going back.?"

"You can't go back to this.."

Lakrak looked back..

"...Yeah, a human from automatism,whee. Let's talk about it. I'm actually, like a human, dressed up in this and that... Find the hidden meaning in the words... What do you say about this??"

"Is it diplomatic??"

"Yeah. I don't know that. Do not like. I just like'talk' more."

"...Good, Lak Lak. Let's talk. Why did you refuse??"

Lakrak, who was in his arms, spread out one finger.

"First, I like to pick up offers rejected by others and serve them. No.."

"...What do you mean?"

"If someone else once refused, the offer is not worth it Because of it. It might be a more favorable offer for me than anyone else, but I need to think about it once more. I mean, it's gonna be.."

"...That's not the word. This offer is only for you by the Holy Lord..."

"No. You know, Owen really 'accidentally' met you and 'luckily' brought you back. I think it's.?"

I made a whipping noise..

Lakrak continued.

"Owen says you come from the north, not the west. I didn't come from Automatism, I came through the wilderness. And beyond the wilderness there is a tribe of severed ears. I assure you, you would have made the same offer to Salkait.. But I was rejected.."

"...That's right.."

"Maybe now I refused for the second reason I would say.."

Whee listened to Lakrak without answering.

Lakrak said.

"Second, there is no " gift without a price." I'm not fooled by that. The greedy Salkait seems to discern that much.."

"...Not as much as that. Automaticity The Holy Lord wants to give salt. Without a price.."

"No."

Lakrak crossed..

"If we get salt from you, we must protect you. I'm not right.?"

"......"

"Whenever you are surrounded by automatism, we will be our I will worry about the safety of salt and I will be full of it. Even if you do 'diplomacy'as you like, and you risk yourself, we can't do it You have to pay attention to fights that are not related to us.."

Whee spoke slowly..

"Lakrak, that's diplomacy.."

"I know.."

"It's not a price-free gift, but we're making the right deal.."

"I know that, too.."

"So why are you refusing for a second reason??"

Lakrak laughed.

"Don't you really know? I think you've already heard from Salkait.?"

"......"

The answer of Lakrak overlaps with the answer of the wacky Nol Tribal Leader Heard that.

"Why can't we have automatism? After we throw humans out, not only salt mines, but automaticity is ours. Can you? I don't.?"
