71 – Episode 71 Soap
“Lord… I will call the owner. “Lord So.”
After a while,
The owner has come out.
“Why do you leave like that?”
“So… I’m so thrilled to see Lord So.”
“Did I do something wrong?”
“Oh.. No. “Lord So.”
I glanced at the store owner,
He pointed to the lamp.
“What oil do you use here? Is it monster oil?”
“Yes, I mainly use monster oil. However, today I used black tree oil.”
“Black tree?”
If it is a black tree,
This is a tree that lives on Monster Island.
A tree with a black tint,
The leaves and fruits are black.
I heard that the stronger the magic energy, the better it grows.
Instead, it cannot grow in lands without demon energy, such as on the continent.
‘In a word, it is a tree of little value.’
A tree that needs magical energy to grow.
The fruit grown on this tree cannot be eaten by humans.
‘You get oil from the fruit of that tree?’
I thought of the oil stored in the manufacturing plant.
There was no black tree oil there.
“Hey… Lord So?”
“Wait a minute, let’s think about it.”
“S-sorry… I’m sorry.”
Vegetable oil is expensive,
What is the reason why animal oil is cheap?
Animal oil is worthless.
In other words, oil is extracted from the monster’s corpse.
Because they cannot be eaten, they will be thrown away anyway.
Vegetable oil, on the other hand, is extracted from valuable fruits.
As a result, prices are bound to be high.
Because labor costs are added to the price of the fruit used.
‘But what if it’s a black tree?’
The black tree is like a monster corpse.
1) There is a lot of quantity.
Just as monster corpses pour in every day,
Black trees grow all over Monster Island.
2) The price is cheap.
Monster corpses excluding some parts have low prices.
No, it is accurate to say that there is no price. Because it’s no different from trash.
Black Tree is also like this.
The fruits of the black tree cannot be eaten.
So there is no price.
‘Why didn’t I know this? ‘Why didn’t you bring this?’
I held a lamp filled with black tree oil.
“Do you want to buy this?”
“Yes!? “I’ll give it to you as a gift.”
“No. Then I feel uncomfortable. “The price… you can pay it, guard captain.”
“Me…? Yes. “I have to pay.”
The security captain handed the money to the store owner.
I tapped the guard captain on the shoulder.
“Do you remember that I forgave you?”
“Of course. Lord Su!”
“Then, good luck.”
We went straight to the soap factory.
I created a blueprint using black tree oil.
[Completeness 53]
“That’s right!”
When mixing animal oil and using it, the completeness did not exceed 40.
But when I used black tree oil, the perfection level immediately increased to 53.
“Good, good.”
Drawing blueprints, which used to be boring, suddenly became fun.
Every time I drew a blueprint, the level of completion improved little by little.
Completeness 51
Completeness 54
Completeness 57
Completeness 55
…
Completeness 68
If the perfection level is 68, it is similar to using olive oil.
“Finally.”
The problem that had been bothering me for several days has been resolved.
When you are so happy,
The soap maker came in.
“Lord So? Are you out already?”
“Oh, okay, come here instead.”
I asked why he didn’t bring black tree oil.
Seeing that it is also used as a lamp, he must not have known.
“Because Lord So wanted soap to wash his body. Black tree oil has magical energy.”
“No. No.”
Your health will not worsen if you touch an object with magical energy.
The ground you step on and the trees used to build buildings are all items that have been encroached upon by demon energy.
But it doesn’t have any effect.
The key is whether to eat this or not.
Even a small amount does not have a significant effect.
I put black tree oil on my finger and put it on my tongue.
“Lord So!?”
“This much is okay. So, it’s okay to use it as soap.”
Then he handed out a blueprint.
Soap made from black tree.
“This?”
“Can we make it like this?”
“Of course.”
“Then make it.”
The manufacturer looked troubled.
“Why?”
“That’s it, Lord So, it is possible to make it according to the blueprint, but even if you can’t, it will take half a year.”
When I first came here,
The manufacturer explained the process of making soap.
What goes into the ingredients?
What tools do you use,
I even told you how to make it.
But there was something I didn’t say.
“After mixing the oil sufficiently, an aging process is necessary. “The period is six months to a year.”
I thought we were all there now,
An ambush appeared again.
‘I found the ingredients, is it time now?’
So, does it take this long to make soap on Earth?
Is it completed after a long process?
Modern people who want to ‘quickly, quickly’?
Unfortunately, I don’t know this part.
Because I can’t go back to Earth and find out.
But,
“It definitely would have shortened the time…”
Using science and technology, the ripening period could be shortened.
“There is no way there is such technology. Instead…”
If there were science on Earth,
There is magic in this world.
“Can I make it right before the ripening stage?”
“It is possible. “There is enough lye, and it is not difficult to find black tree oil.”
“Okay. Just make it.”
“Yes! “Lord So.”
Only then did the soap maker’s expression brighten.
.
.
A box was filled with water mixed with black tree oil and lye.
Then the boxes were loaded onto the wagon.
“Young Master So, where are you going again?”
Issac asked worriedly.
“I have to go to the Gray Magic Tower. In the meantime, please play plain.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Vampire spirit.
Gray Magic Tower.
I explained to the Buma Tower owner what I wanted.
“So. “You are asking us to ripen it quickly.”
“Is it possible?”
The owner of the Buma Tower smiled.
“Of course. “Lord So.”
Then he brought a contract.
At the top was written what I requested,
The wizard’s compensation was specified below.
“This much?”
Despite my startled voice, Bumatapju was calm.
“As you know, a wizard’s time is gold. “Lord So.”
When we reduced material costs,
Now there is a wizard cost.
‘I only need to make 6 months’ supply anyway…’
You can make soap without a wizard in 6 months.
All you need is the quantity to use beforehand.
I signed the contract with tears in my eyes.
“Thank you. “Lord So.”
For some reason, the word Soyeongju that Bumatapju added to the end of every word sounded like Hogaengnim.
Anyway,
The magic was amazing.
The ripening period that was supposed to take 6 months was completed in just 3 days.
The Lord of the Demon Tower came out to see me off at the entrance of the Gray Magic Tower.
“Please be kind when the second batch arrives.”
“We will age it for sure. “Lord So.”
“Oh, well… You don’t have to add the word ‘Soyeongju’ at the end. Lord Buma Tower.”
“hahahaha, that’s not polite. “Lord So.”
With the aged mixture,
Arrived at Plain again.
City Plain.
Soap factory.
“It has really matured. “With this, you can make soap right away.”
The soap manufacturer began production.
Although there were occasional shortcomings,
When making soap, his professionalism was revealed.
“Your eyes are alive.”
Soap must continue to be produced in the future.
To do that, you need a soap craftsman.
“What is your name? “Do you have any family?”
He was so focused that he couldn’t even hear my question.
I raised my head only after spreading the entire mixture on the floor.
“What is your name? “Do you have any family?”
“I am Klein. My family consists of a wife and three sons.”
“What about other family members?”
“My parents passed away at a young age, and I have brothers.”
“Well, I don’t mind being a brother. Are you planning on coming to Iron? I will build the world’s largest soap factory. “Would you like to work with me?”
Clin’s eyes became hazy.
As expected.
When I was making soap, I felt that this was my calling.
“Are you talking about the world’s largest soap factory?”
“So, you said some cities make special soap, right? Let’s make better soap than that. “With me.”
A few days later,
Klein and his family left for Iron.
And only the soap he made remained in the soap factory.
I picked one up and put it on my nose.
The fragrant smell, different from existing soap, stimulated the sense of smell.
“It’s finally finished.”
Ask someone to
Supplied soap to refugee camps.
.
.
It’s been a while since I walked through the refugee camp with Isaac.
Unlike before, soap was seen being used.
They rubbed their hands with soap without hesitation.
“Wow, look at this scent!”
“It smells really good!”
“After washing with soap, my face became moist.”
Soap did not only have a cleansing effect.
Perhaps it is a characteristic of black tree, and it also has a moisturizing effect.
Thanks to this, it was popular among women as well.
“My lord, I am glad. “Everyone is using the soap well.”
“Yes… But isn’t it too much?”
“Yes…?”
“No. “I was just talking to myself.”
Recent financial situation has been difficult,
It feels like the distribution has become smaller.
‘But how much does that soap cost?’
I have no choice but to use expensive soap for the next six months.
It will take 6 months for soap to be made with a low unit price.
In such a situation, I heard a conversation that made me feel bad.
A woman patted her cheek and got down on her knees.
“Thank you to the Earth Goddess for giving me this soap.”
‘What? Why does the Earth Goddess suddenly appear?
Then another woman knelt down next to her.
“We are grateful to the Earth Goddess for giving us the soap making method and for allowing us to use soap.”
‘No, the goddess of earth gave us the recipe for making soap? ‘I’ve never heard that goddess’ voice before?’
“My lord, the Earth Goddess is truly benevolent. Didn’t she let us farm on Monster Island and even give us scented soap when the epidemic spread?”
‘Why are you like this, Isaac?’
