"Another possibility?"
The old butler took the ID card that Nancy handed over. He glanced at the notes on the back of the ID card, which did not mention anything related to work.
Moreover, most slaves were illiterate, so writing down such precautions on paper would be of no use at all. It would be better to gather them together and have an overseer supervise them with a whip.
"It is mentioned that each storage box contains items for daily use."
Nancy pulled out the storage box under the bed. It was a long iron box with a lock on it.
Locks already existed in this world, and there were many sophisticated locks, so Nancy was not surprised when she got the key.
She used her key to open her storage box, which was neatly filled with towels, shampoo, soap, toothpaste cups and other small items.
Nancy picked up a box of toothpaste.
"What is this? There seems to be a lot of their writing on it."
The old butler came to Nancy's side and looked at the things in the box. He could see the use of things like the cups, but he couldn't understand the use of the toothpaste in Nancy's hand.
"I don't know, but it looks like there's a bar of sea salt soap in there."
Nancy opened the toothpaste box in her hand, held it in her hand for a while, trying to figure out what it did, and then picked up a smaller box.
The box was a paper box containing soap. After she opened it, she finally saw something familiar.
"They also have sea salt soap? Aren't they similar to us in this respect?" The old butler also recognized the bar of soap in Nancy's hand.
The most primitive soap has appeared in various countries around the world, and the nobles of the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai use this block-like item extensively to wash their bodies.
The raw material for soap in this world comes from a sticky substance in the crystal sea, but it is not difficult to mine, so this product is not expensive in the market of the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai. At least... it is a very cheap gadget for the nobles.
"It's different. There's a big difference! Look at this, father."
Nancy smelled the fragrance of the soap, put it back into the box, and showed the box to the old butler beside her.
"What's wrong with this box with strange pictures on it?" The old butler still couldn't figure it out.
Nancy sighed... She dragged the old housekeeper's storage box out from under the bed. Nancy used the key to open the old housekeeper's storage box and took out another box of soap.
"Do you see the difference?" Nancy took two boxes of soap and showed them to the old housekeeper.
"No, the pictures on the two boxes are exactly the same. Why would they do that?"
The old butler looked carefully at the two boxes in Nancy's hands. He couldn't see any difference between them.
This was also a very puzzling thing in his opinion. The sea salt soap that Xiu Enzhe came to the kingdom to sell could be simply wrapped in a layer of thin paper, and there was no need to put it in such a complicated box.
"They make this sea salt soap and hire people to paint on the boxes?" The old housekeeper finally gave an answer that made Nancy very disappointed.
“The patterns on these boxes were not drawn by humans!”
Nancy told the old housekeeper in a serious tone something that made her feel a little uneasy.
"It's not drawn by a person. Could it be that the pattern appeared on the box out of thin air? Nancy, you... you don't look well."
The old housekeeper noticed that Nancy's expression was very ugly, but her eyes flickered and she soon cheered up again.
"These two boxes were made by foreigners, but they were not painted by humans! Do you remember the argument I had with my father when I returned from the secret society?" Nancy lowered her voice and said to the old butler.
"Father... Of course I remember that you suggested using golems to produce iron tools. Your father, no... I said that was impossible." He has not yet adapted to the role of Nancy's father.
"Yes, my father rejected me at the time, saying that this was a waste of the core magic of the earth vein, but these people did it."
Nancy's voice trembled slightly, and her hands holding the two soap boxes also trembled slightly, as if they were not holding soaps, but two miracles that could change the world.
"They use golems to produce sea salt soap? This... is such a waste of magic power! What is their king thinking!!"
The old butler misunderstood Nancy's idea again. In his opinion, the magic power stored in the core of the earth vein is the proof of a country's strength.
Nancy wanted to use this magic power to drive the golem to produce steel. The old butler could still support Nancy, but these guys actually used magic power to produce soap! It's crazy!
"They're not as stupid as you think, father." Nancy felt a little tired, a feeling she often had, whether she was studying in the Gemansis Secret Society or communicating with her butler now.
Her thoughts were always regarded as crazy and some unreasonable delusions, but now a terrible fact was laid before her.
This country not only achieved what she could only dream of doing, but also far exceeded the limits of her imagination!
"I think they have already started using golems to forge steel in large quantities, and even to make those terrifying weapons, so they have the stomach to use golems to make this kind of dispensable soap." Nancy told the old butler another fact that went beyond his worldview.
"That's why these boxes are exactly the same. Not only the soap, but also this cup is made by Golem!" Nancy once again took out an iron cup that they were most familiar with and said to the old butler.
"This... How is this possible? Where does their country get so much magic power... to drive such a huge golem?"
The old butler kept shaking his head. The golem can be said to be a weapon to protect the country in any country. It is unknown how much national strength it will consume to drive it once.
The amount of magic power required to activate the golem is even more terrifying, not to mention the production of civilian supplies.
"Maybe they didn't use magic, they found something else to drive the golem." Nancy said.
"Then...what is that thing?" The old butler could no longer think any further. He could only listen to his 'daughter' talking about something she couldn't understand.
"I don't know either, but if they have the spare capacity to use golems to mass-produce this sea salt soap, it means that their country has almost no shortage of other things, including food..." Nancy said the most critical question, and her voice even trembled again when she said this. "In a country that has no shortage of food, do you think they will have fewer citizens?"
