I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 261: Exchange at a Price

"Is this a magic prop?" Julia looked at the exploded deep pit with lingering fear.

Joseph jumped down from Riley’s hand, dusting off the dirt on his body:

"This is the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb that Eric came up with, made by me and Bruno. It doesn’t need magic to activate, and the materials are simple, most suitable for us Dwarves to use!"

A group of Dwarves turned pale with shock upon hearing this news. Something with power comparable to a tier-3 magic prop could be made by Dwarves?

Henry pulled so hard he tore off a clump of his beard, but he didn’t seem to feel the pain, hurriedly asking:

"What? This isn’t a magic prop?"

Joseph said with both excitement and pride: "It’s not a magic prop! As long as we have the materials, we can make a lot of them. When using it, you just need a little origin power to trigger it. Throw it out before the magic runes fully light up, otherwise, it’s easy to blow yourself up."

This point was similar to the grenades in Eric’s previous life, so the timing of the throw had to be very precise. Throwing it late would hurt oneself; throwing it early would make it easy to dodge.

Julia and the other Dwarves immediately understood the significance of this thing. A group of Dwarves stepped forward to surround Joseph, asking clamorously.

"This isn’t a magic prop, so what materials is it made of?"

"Can it only be thrown by hand? How about combining it with a thrower?"

"What is its specific attack range..."

The questions were too many; Joseph answered them one by one until his mouth and tongue were dry.

Finally, Julia couldn’t stand it anymore. She waved her hand to shoo the Dwarves away like flies. She held the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb Joseph gave her, loving it too much to put it down, examining it from top to bottom.

"Is Eric really willing to teach its secret formula to the Dwarves?" Julia asked with apprehension.

Joseph and the Dwarves from the Hadu tribe laughed upon hearing this.

"Eric has as many ideas as stars in the sky. He is the most generous person I have ever seen; he never hides anything. The method to make the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb was specially thought up by him to help us Dwarves solve our difficulties. Of course, he is willing."

Luban said with emotion. Since knowing him, the ideas Eric provided them were countless, such as paper which would cause a writing revolution if taken outside, various construction materials, including the warm heated bed. Who knew how his brain grew.

Julia and Henry excitedly looked back and forth at the shape of the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb, never getting tired of looking at it. After a long while, they passed it to other clansmen.

Julia was so happy her eyes became moist. She rubbed her eyes: "Eric is truly a good child, thinking for us Dwarves like that."

It must be known that the selling price of a tier-3 magic prop was extremely expensive. If it could be mass-produced as Joseph said, Eric had truly given the Dwarves a great gift they couldn’t refuse.

"I really don’t know how to repay him." Henry sighed.

Joseph smiled: "Our little patriarch also wants to cooperate with the Gray tribe. You guys will be in charge of firing bricks, and we will trade with you."

"Firing bricks? Is that the thing used to build houses that Eric mentioned before?" Julia still remembered the bricks Eric had mentioned.

"Right, next to the Gray tribe happens to be a swamp area. Eric said we can try using the mud there to fire bricks; maybe they will be stronger than normal bricks." Joseph replied.

Luban saw the two of them still glancing at the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb, so he comforted them:

"You don’t need to rush to make Thunderbolt Fire Bombs first. Riley and Minh are both excellent warriors; they can help clear out the magic beasts that are active again in the surroundings. Make the mud bricks first; you also have to build a brick kiln."

Julia withdrew her gaze: "It’s called the Thunderbolt Fire Bomb? The name is so majestic. You’re right, rebuilding the tribe is the most important thing. And doesn’t Eric need bricks? Why trade? However many he needs, we will make for him."

"That won’t do. Eric specifically instructed that we must use a trading method. If you feel guilty, you can give him a cheaper price. Later, there will be other things the Gray tribe needs to help with. After all, the people in our tribe aren’t enough..."

Joseph said hurriedly. Eric guessed right; the Gray tribe indeed didn’t intend to use a trading method.

Actually, putting oneself in another’s shoes, if Joseph stood in Julia’s position, he wouldn’t agree to trade either.

The Thunderbolt Fire Bomb was such an important thing, yet Eric gave the formula just like that. Now that he needed a few bricks but still had to use a trading method, it felt too ungrateful.

It was just that before they departed, Eric had deliberately instructed them. The Hadu tribe currently only had these few people, but the early stage of developing the tribe required a lot of things; they couldn’t do it all by themselves.

If the Gray tribe didn’t agree to use a trading method to exchange for bricks, how would the Hadu tribe dare to ask them to help make other things?

Joseph thought from the perspective of the Hadu tribe for a moment. The tribe’s population was only that much, but according to Eric’s plan, for the tribe to develop better, they really needed a lot of things. Besides bricks, there was also a large amount of cement.

Although road repairs were temporarily put aside, it would have to be done sooner or later. The amount of cement needed for that was an astronomical figure; they would definitely need to cooperate with other tribes.

He also saw that this was Eric deliberately taking care of the Dwarves. With such long-term cooperation, the Snow Wolves would frequently pass by, so the safety factor of the Gray tribe would naturally increase.

The difficulty of firing bricks wasn’t high. Even beastmen could learn it after a few tries. It was just that controlling the fire was a bit harder; after many attempts, one could master it. It wasn’t a job that only Dwarves could do.

Besides the fact that the Gray tribe happened to need to rebuild and build a brick kiln, making them the trading partner for bricks for the Hadu tribe, perhaps one of the reasons was also to help them live safely.

Henry looked at Julia. The two of them hesitated and pondered for a long time before agreeing.

"Right, Evan is still at the Hadu tribe, right? He is also a good child. Although he is a human, he has a good heart. The magic wand I promised to make for him is done. When you go back, help me take it to him."

Julia went home and took out a long object wrapped tightly in brown hemp cloth, handing it to Joseph. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Evan is truly a good human. He is also Eric’s magic teacher. He doesn’t have that annoying arrogance of mages, teaches writing to beastmen, and is willing to go open up wastelands together. Not bad at all." Mentioning Evan, Joseph also praised him endlessly.

Luban touched it admiringly: "Did Julia forge it herself? Evan is really lucky."

Previously, when the Dwarves hadn’t scattered everywhere, Julia’s forging skills were top-tier among all Dwarves.

There was a peak period in her youth when Julia even forged a divine artifact. Luban and other juniors could only look up to her.

Hearing that Julia personally forged a wand for Evan, Luban admired him from the bottom of his heart.
