"Please make a new Water Purifier for us!" Shauna approached Li Xiang, her silver hair dancing in the wind. "This Water Purifier produces too little water, it can't meet the needs of our entire race!"
"Yes, yes, and the water produced by this Water Purifier is getting worse and worse …"
"Mr. Li Xiang, please help us! If this continues, our race will become weaker and weaker! "
The centaur girls nearby all rushed up and started talking. Although Li Xiang couldn't understand what they were saying, he roughly understood their situation.
"If there are enough parts and equipment, making a new one isn't a problem." Li Xiang couldn't stand the starry eyes of the beautiful girls. He smiled awkwardly. "Otherwise, we can only repair this one."
"Parts? Please come with me. " Shauna gestured for Li Xiang to follow her and scolded the group of girls who came over, asking them to make way for Li Xiang.
The two walked side by side into the depths of the race. The centaur race, like most of the other races, was still in the era of agriculture. They lived in relatively simple wooden houses and stone houses.
In the innermost area, there was a row of neat and tidy centaur girls guarding a small wooden house. They looked serious, obviously more serious than the girls outside.
Shauna brought Li Xiang to the small wooden house. There were all kinds of messy mechanical parts inside. Some of them were new, and some were obviously violently removed from the machine.
"These mechanical parts were collected by me when I was out. The price of Wessex's machines is too high. I have always wanted to let my people research how to make a Water Purifier, so I left a lot of parts for them to try. Unfortunately, centaurs don't seem to be born with any mechanical talent …" Shauna sighed. "Do you think these parts are enough? If you need anything else, I can find a way to get it done. "
"It's enough. It's not difficult to make a Water Purifier. We just need the basic parts and the operating table." Li Xiang's black box contained the simplest metal workstation. Originally, it was used to repair firearms in an emergency, but it was enough to make a water purifier.
He took out a metal control panel and immediately fiddled with it. "Queen Shana, I see that the water in Mirror Lake is quite clear. Why do you still need a water purifier to purify it?"
"Sigh, the original Mirror Lake was indeed very clean, but I don't know when it started, but when we drank the water, we suddenly felt a very disgusting taste. Centaurs are different from humans. We are a race that is naturally close to origin substances and magic particles. We are very sensitive to the aura of disaster-type creatures. Even the slightest smell will cause us to feel a strong sense of disgust. " Shana looked at the tranquil and beautiful Mirror Lake not far away. "If we drink that kind of lake water, we will definitely fall sick."
"This … That's right, the calamity aura on my body should be very thick, right? Why don't you feel disgusted?" Li Xiang asked curiously. His hands kept moving, and the changes in the operation made Shana dizzy. She really admired these human Mechanics who were nimble with their hands.
To be able to create like nature, they were no different from gods in the eyes of these ancient races.
"This is also what puzzles me. You have a very scary calamity aura, but it doesn't affect us. Even these children can't feel it. If it wasn't for my long hair changing color, I'm afraid no one would have noticed it. On the contrary, I can smell a … nice smell from you. " Shana's face turned red. Her words sounded a little flirtatious. She did not want Li Xiang to think that she was a flirtatious person.
"Maybe it's because I'm neither a human nor a calamity. In that case, I'm closer to you ancient races." Li Xiang clapped his hands, stood up, and raised the huge water purifier. "It's done."
"So, so fast!" Shana felt that the two of them had only chatted for a short while, and seeing the water purifier in his hands was like a dream.
"It's just a water purifier." Li Xiang held up the water purifier and explained with a smile, "I made some slight modifications to the water purifier outside. Other than the water purifying speed and capacity, it also has its own purification function. Simply put, not only the water in Mirror Lake, but any water source can be purified through it. This way, there's no need to tie it to Mirror Lake."
"Thank you so much! Shall we go and try it out now? " Shana was very excited. They could only purify the water in Mirror Lake, so they could not go too far away from Mirror Lake. The composition of the water from outside was unknown, so they did not dare to drink it casually. With this new water purifier, all the problems were solved.
"Okay."
The two of them came out of the wooden house with the new water purifier. A group of female warriors looked at them curiously, their eyes full of desire.
The centaur girls were all waiting by Mirror Lake. Jana shouted at the group of lively girls and came forward alone. "Mother, the water purifier is done?"
From the outside, Li Xiang's water purifier was bigger and more beautiful.
"Yes, please use it, Mr. Li Xiang." Shana nodded and respectfully stepped aside.
Li Xiang carried the water purifier to Mirror Lake. The water purifier made by Wessex was already a little broken. After all, it had been used for a year. Even if it was of high quality, it would not last for long.
As he approached Mirror Lake, he smelled a scent similar to a calamity.
However, it was not quite the same as a calamity.
If it was a purebred calamity or a mutant, the faint golden aura in his body would definitely have a strong desire to devour it. However, in the face of this aura, it hid in his heart and did not move at all, as if it was looking down on it.
"Is there something under the lake?" Li Xiang asked Shana.
Shana shook her head and replied, "Mirror Lake used to be a gathering place for unicorns. Ever since we took it over, the unicorns have found a new habitat … But speaking of which, it seems that there is a high chance that the unicorns will mutate into Fallen Unicorns."
Fallen Unicorns were normal unicorns that mutated after absorbing too much calamity energy. Unicorns were a non-elemental race, and they could choose to join any faction after they reached adulthood. However, in an environment like Jade Forest, the chances of them becoming Fallen Unicorns were extremely low. Most of them became Brilliant Unicorns.
They drank Mirror Lake's water for a long time and had a high chance of becoming Fallen Unicorns. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with Mirror Lake.
Li Xiang placed the water purifier on top of the lake. The lake water quickly filled the water purifier. With the Origin Substance as the energy source, the purifying process was extremely fast. He scooped up a cup of lake water. After purifying it, the smell was obviously gone.
"Please try it." Li Xiang handed the stone cup to Shana.
Shana took a sip, and a blush slowly appeared on her face. Her smile was extremely sweet.
"It's delicious. It's already very close to the purest source of water," Shana yelled loudly. The clan's grounds immediately erupted with cheers.
The young girls fought to taste the fresh water, and Shana took the opportunity to pull Li Xiang away from the crowd.
The two of them went to a small forest nearby. Shana looked at the cheering clansmen with gratification, as if she were in a dream.
The problem that had troubled her for so long had been solved just like that.
"Um … Mr. Li Xiang, can you sell this water purifier to us?" Shana's face was slightly red, and the ends of her silver-white hair were also slightly red.
"Sell? Isn't it a gift to you? " Li Xiang was' polite '. He naturally hoped to receive a reward from the centaur clan, but he would not take advantage of the situation.
After all, it was just a water purifier that he made casually.
"This … This won't do! According to the Wessex Convention, we should offer at least five times the price for this water purifier. " Shana shook her head and said firmly, "The Jadeite Forest is known for its integrity. This has also been our practice for many years."
"Five times?"
"Yes, five hundred servings of centaur breast milk, five hundred catties of rice that we grew ourselves, and five thousand sets of specially made bows and arrows. Will that do?" Shana asked carefully, afraid that he would go back on his words. "Centaur breast milk is a very delicious drink, and it has the effect of improving one's physique. Our rice is famous in the Jadeite Forest, and it should be one of the high-grade ingredients that you humans speak of. The power of our specially made bows and arrows is not inferior to your Origin Substance guns. It is said that many archery departments of human universities purchase them in large quantities."
“.....”
"If … If that's not enough, I can give you ten servings of my own breast milk first!" Shana's cheeks were like a ripe apple, and she held back her shyness. "Our young ladies can produce high-quality breast milk even if they don't give birth. Quality is related to strength. My breast milk is usually only fed to children, and it is never sold."
Breast milk had a special meaning to the centaur clan. Because it was mass-produced, they did not know who drank it in the end, so they did not feel particularly embarrassed. However, a private supply like this had a very strong special meaning.
For the sake of the water purifier, Shana did not care so much. After all, she needed three years of savings from her clan to pay for all the items that had been discussed.
"Alright then, but this kind of deal is not fair to you. I see that the parts in the wooden house are enough to make a batch of water purifiers. How about this, I will use up all the parts inside, but I hope that Queen Shana can promise me a few things." Li Xiang calculated. He did not care about the small profits in front of him.
"No problem! I am willing to agree to anything! " Shana replied without hesitation. This was her heartfelt words. If Li Xiang could solve the problem of the water purifier in one go, it would not be a big deal even if she gave herself to him.
She knew that many humans had some strange hobbies towards other races, and this was all within her acceptable range. Moreover, she vaguely felt that Li Xiang was different from those humans.
"Don't be in a hurry to agree. Listen to me first and then consider." Li Xiang smiled and slowly stated his conditions.
He needed the centaurs to provide him with detailed information about the Jadeite Forest, and it would be best if they could introduce him to the dragons or fairies. After all, this training was the main purpose.
Secondly, he hoped that in the future, the centaurs would leave the Jadeite Forest to help him, whether it was to deal with humans or disasters.
"I will not insist on the second condition, but in my most critical moment, you must come to my aid." Li Xiang said in a deep voice. "My enemies are very strong, so I can't guarantee anything."
"No problem. When the time comes, I will personally lead the most elite warriors to help you," Shana said firmly. Shana replied resolutely, "You have helped our race, we will not leave you in the lurch."
After the conditions were agreed, Li Xiang immediately returned to the wooden house to continue his work, and Shana found an excuse to milk …
When the sun was about to set, Shana pushed open the wooden door and saw Li Xiang still working. There was a large pile of water purifiers on the ground. There were so many that she felt a little dizzy.
"Mr. Li Xiang, please drink the milk …" Shana knew that Li Xiang did not understand what she was saying, but she still blushed.
In her hand was the breast milk that her mother had personally squeezed out. It was a sample.
"Oh, thank you." Li Xiang took the stone cup and drank it in one gulp. It was sweet, and the rich milky fragrance made him realize that this was not tea …
It was just as Shana said. The centaur's breast milk tasted much better than most drinks. It was very warm and had a certain effect on the body. However, at his level, the improvement was almost insignificant.
Half an hour later, he finally finished making all the water purifiers.
Shana was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. What price did her mother have to pay in exchange for so many water purifiers?
Did she just sell the entire race? But, if there were so many, it would not be enough even if she sold them!
She was a little hesitant, but after seeing Li Xiang's smile, she felt a lot more at ease. Ever since he saved her companions, Shana felt that this young man was very gentle, not as cunning as some humans.
The two of them carried the water purifiers out together. According to this number, every five households would have an independent water purifier. This was unimaginable in the past.
While everyone was distributing the water purifiers, Shana quietly appeared and secretly handed a few bottles of milky white breast milk to Li Xiang.
"Mr. Li Xiang, you can't give this to others!" She warned him seriously. If people knew that the centaur queen also sold breast milk, it would bring great negative effects to the race.
"I understand." He nodded and carefully put them away. "Right, I plan to go down to Mirror Lake and find the source of the water pollution. That is the best way to solve the problem."
"Down to Mirror Lake? Then I will go with you. " Shana took a step forward. "Otherwise, it will be too dangerous. If there are evil creatures hiding down there, we can take care of each other."
"Alright then." Li Xiang was not worried about the disaster. If there was a disaster here, it would have wiped out all the creatures.
Disasters were absolutely evil and chaotic creatures. They ignored all rules and only knew how to destroy.
And even if it was the lowest Grade F disaster, it was not something they could fight against.
After the discussion, Shana took the silver longbow and dived into Mirror Lake with Li Xiang.
The lake water was cold. As soon as he entered the water, Li Xiang felt a strong aura. The deeper he went, the more obvious it became.
Shana waved at him in the water, indicating for him to ride on her.
Centaurs were much better swimmers than humans, and they could breathe freely underwater. Li Xiang's diving speed was much slower than hers, so he simply rode on her.
"Please hold on tight." Shana wrapped his hand around her waist. After confirming that there was no problem, she immediately dived.
They were extremely fast!
In an instant, they reached the bottom of Mirror Lake.
