Chapter 116 Perfumer and Wandering Poet

The Dior family are free people and live in the mountain territory. Since there is not much land for farming, it is suitable for growing fruit trees, so the people in the territory basically make a living by picking and taking care of fruit trees.

His parents were among them, and they had rich experience in planting some fruit trees, and even took care of a few special varieties of fruit trees. Because of this, their family's life was actually pretty good.

But Dio is an alternative. He has no interest in how to plant or take care of fruit trees. Instead, he likes smells. In his eyes, all smells are more precious than gold coins.

At first, his parents forced him to learn to grow fruit trees. After many failures, they stopped doing so. However, they did not condone him. They always believed that their son's hobby was a weird thing. Not only could he not be able to support himself, but he would also be unable to do so. Being laughed at.

Later, for some unknown reason, one of the special fruit trees they took care of suddenly withered, but the root cause could not be found. The lord was furious and hanged them directly, but he ran out, was later caught, and was reduced to For the serfs.

Then when the lone wolf robbed a village, he took many serfs with him, and he was inside.

Linn killed the lone wolf and rescued these people. Naturally, there was no reason to return them. Karis counted and divided the serfs according to their abilities.

Dior was physically weaker, but his hands were more dexterous, so Caris asked him to participate in making soap, but he didn't expect that he would do such a thing.

"This is the soap you made. Why did you think of putting flower juice in it?" Linn asked.

Dior had his head lowered. After hearing this question, he immediately raised his head and said, "Because soap also has a smell. I can smell it. It is a light white color."

Lin En frowned slightly. This was the first time he heard of using color to describe taste.

"You only need to mix different colors into white to give them a new flavor. Not only can you add flower juice, but you can also add leaves, soil, stones. Everything has a flavor."

"Oh, where are the people?" Linn asked.

"Humans naturally have it, too. People have complex tastes. It's not just fragrance, but also odor, sourness, etc. The fragrance is completely different depending on gender and age."

Lin En looked at his fascination with the fragrance, and coupled with his words, he felt a little crazy.

This is a man who is extremely paranoid about smells and is, in a way, a lunatic.

“Since you’re so interested in scent, have you ever made anything that smells like it?” Lynn said.

"Yes, I once used five kinds of flowers to make a particularly fragrant water. I called it Wuhuaxiang. Unfortunately, it can't be preserved for a long time." There was no concern on Dior's face. "As long as I want, I can make it again. Because I’ve memorized that scent.”

Lynn tapped her fingers on the table, "From now on, you don't have to go to the mining area to mine. Instead, you can make perfume. Just make the five-flower fragrance you mentioned. Apply for the materials directly. When can it be made?"

Dio was stunned, and it took him a while to react, "Just two days."

"Okay, just two days, I hope you won't disappoint me, go back."

Dio left the castle and walked on the road, he still felt like he was dreaming. Growing up, no matter who heard about his preferences, they would laugh at him, even his parents were no exception.

This also made him unwilling to talk to others. This time, if the lord hadn't asked, he would have answered, otherwise he wouldn't have said a word.

But now the lord asked him to make perfume. Is this acknowledging his preference?

Or maybe it's just pure curiosity.

No matter what, Dior will make the perfume. This is his preference. It doesn't matter even if it is deemed useless.

Lin En looked at the Dior information on the papyrus and muttered, "He must be a special talent. He makes perfume. I was thinking about how to make such a thing before, but I didn't expect that he could research it on his own."

Perfume is a rare item. The countess would only take out the perfume and spray it on major festivals. Other times, she wouldn't give it up at all.

Of course, perfumes are also divided into grades. The bottle of perfume in the countess's hand is of a higher grade, but other low-grade perfumes can still be sprayed frequently.

The output of this alchemical product is very small, and each bottle is valuable. It also represents the status of the nobility. When the nobility gathers, the hall is full of various perfumes. The level of perfume on someone's body will be determined. You can smell it by smelling it.

It would be a surprise if Dior could mass-produce perfume.

"Task 4: Increase the population, complete the task and reward special talents [long-term task 50/50] (completed)"

[Special talents: perfumer, fine blacksmith, wandering poet. 】

Dior is a perfumer, so Linn is still a little unsure about what the last two are.

As the mission was refreshed, the population behind it also increased to one hundred and fifty people.

The castle was quite quiet. Linn looked outside, felt a little bored, and walked out.

It's not dark yet, but there aren't many people in the town. They don't have much entertainment, so they can only stay in the house and do some producer stuff.

Lynn came to the place where Karis taught. Due to lack of paper, they could only practice on the ground using wooden sticks.

Karis teaches from above. After teaching a word, he comes down to check each word and point out the mistakes.

Among those who studied were not only members of the militia, but also servants in the castle and some serfs.

Lin En said that if you want to learn to read and write, you can come and learn. There is no need to spend money, and there is no distinction between status.

What surprised Linn was that Harvey was also writing and drawing there, and seemed to be quite interested in reading and writing.

Karis noticed Linn and wanted to say something, but Linn shook his head and said not to disturb him.

However, someone still deserted, saw him, saluted immediately, and then led a group of other people to salute.

Lin En was helpless, "You continue to study and don't pay attention to me."

He cast his gaze on the old man sitting next to him. Although he was thin, he was in good spirits and was obviously different from the serfs.

Lin En walked over and the old man stood up immediately, "Lord."

"Sit down, I came here to talk to you. Caris's statistical information says that you are a free citizen, but you have the ability to read and write and have been to many places." Lynn asked.

Hamid nodded, "When I was young, I liked to travel around. I wanted to see the scenery of different places and see the local life. I am lucky to be able to live to such an old age. I really felt like I was arrested last time. My life is about to end, Lord Lord, I don’t even know how to repay your kindness.”

Lin En smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, I can tell from your words that you are a wandering poet, right?"

Hamid was surprised, "As expected of a lord, he can judge people accurately. I was indeed a wandering poet before, but now I am just an ordinary old man."

"Oh, why, why do you say that if you don't like to go to different places?"

"I've seen a lot of things and experienced a lot of things, and I feel very tired. I want to stay in a quiet place to spend my old age." Hamid smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that something like that would happen. A mercenary would be so bold. To attack the nobles."

Harvey noticed this, threw down the stick, trotted over, squatted on the ground and listened to their conversation.

Lin En did not drive him away and said, "Can you tell me what you have seen?"

Hamid asked: "What do you want to know, Lord? I am just an ordinary person, and what I see are ordinary things."

Linn thought for a while, "I heard that in addition to humans, there are elves, dwarves and other races. I would like to hear about these races."

Hamid smiled and said: "I only know a little bit. Since you are interested, I will tell you what I know."

He raised his head, looked forward, and said slowly: "Sir, do you know that the race with the largest number is actually not humans, but orcs?"

"Orcs?" Lin En was surprised. This was the first time he had heard of it.

"Yes, the area where the Orcs are located is the northernmost part of the continent. It is covered with snow all year round, the weather is freezing, and food is scarce. A long time ago, the Orcs occupied fertile land and enslaved people. The people at that time were not even serfs. It is called food by the beast tribe."

Lin En frowned slightly, this plot development seemed a bit familiar.

"Later, gods appeared among humans, and the gods led extraordinary beings to fight against the beasts. No one knew what the battle between the gods was like. But after that battle, the beasts were driven to the north and never had the chance to come out. However, they are not willing to stay there, and organize a large number of orcs to attack southward every year.

In order to stop them, several kingdoms united to build a city wall stretching thousands of miles on the border, which was called the Watch Wall. The forces stationed there were independent from the kingdom and were called Watchers. "

Lynn: "."

"The Watchers have been fighting against the Orcs all year round, but the Orcs are very strong and can even break through the high wall, right? However, because the nobles have parties every day and have no defensive strength at all, they are defeated by the Orcs." Lin En endured He kept saying.

Hamid, "Lord, you have a rich imagination and can write knight stories, but that's not the case. The border of the beast tribe is close to the Canyon of the Undead. I don't know why, but the undead there have been particularly active in the past few decades and often come out to attack. The beast clan has caused the number of the beast clan to continue to decrease, and there is no spare power to attack humans."

Lynn: It seemed like the story wasn't what he thought it was.

"In addition to the orcs, there are also elves, dwarves, half-orcs, giants, etc. There are many races, but they are all within their own territories and generally do not come out.

The elves' clan is the Elf Forest, while the dwarves are in the dwarf highlands. Orcs are widely distributed. As for the giants, I have only heard about them, but I have never seen them. "

"What about the dragons?" Harvey suddenly said, "I heard from the mercenaries in the tavern that dragons are full of treasures, and they also like to collect things. Each dragon represents a treasure."

His eyes were shining, and his saliva was drooling.

Hamid shook his head, "Dragon is synonymous with power. Every adult dragon is at the legendary level. There are warriors who want to ride dragons, and knights who want to obtain treasures. As long as you dare to provoke the dragon clan, you will not survive at all. Before A few years ago, I heard people say that there were traces of dragons here, and I wanted to come and have a look. I regarded seeing a dragon as my last wish, but I didn't see it."

"You mean here?" Linn was confused, "Where do you mean specifically?"

"The other party only said that it was in the Sunset Forest area, but did not elaborate. I guess he just said that on purpose, because I didn't find any traces of dragons." Hamid shook his head, with regret on his face.

Linn was silent. For some reason, Rafe's diary suddenly came to his mind.
