Chapter 139: Making Quill Pens
Su Bai frowned slightly in thought, his thick eyebrows almost connecting. He took a sip of water and muttered, “This time, they’re the ones proposing cooperation first. We need to maintain the initiative.”
Since it was the Spotted Deer Tribe that came to discuss cooperation, he could now negotiate terms with. After all, they were a Large Tribe and what did a Large Tribe lack? They had plenty of people, which was exactly what the Flame Dragon Tribe lacked right now.
[Facing a Tribe of over a thousand people, compared to the Black Snake Tribe, it is a world of difference. Even with about 300 people and the newly formed Archery Team, the Flame Dragon Tribe would still be vastly outnumbered. Even if, as a last resort, the Flame Dragon Tribe won, they would be left with very few people, and the Tribe would eventually perish. The best solution is to cooperate with the Spotted Deer Tribe. Their numbers could be of great use to us.] “Shaman, what’s wrong?” Yu Ying was worried upon seeing him silent for so long.
“It’s nothing, I’m just thinking about the Spotted Deer Tribe,” Su Bai put down his cup and stood up, saying, “Alright, enough thinking. Let’s make quill pens first.”
“Okay!” Yu Ying was particularly excited and asked, “Shaman, what do we need to prepare? I’ll go get it ready.”
“The first step is to select feathers. We need large feathers that are long and stiff.”
Su Bai recalled the steps for making quill pens and continued, “The second step is to process the feathers.”
Yu Ying nodded vigorously, one hand constantly tapping the palm of the other, and asked, “Shaman, how do we process them in the second step?”
“In the second step, we need to remove the scales from the end of the feather… Actually, bring me a feather, I’ll demonstrate it to you.” Su Bai said with a smile.
