Chapter 41: The Question of the Beast's Talking

After three days of hard work, the first stage of the task of building a bamboo building has been successfully completed, at this time just after noon, there is still a long time before the evening, the little gray at the request of Stern, I don't know where to catch a horned deer, Stern asked the dwarves to go to the mountain to cut some dry firewood, he himself dragged the horned deer to the small river that joins the sea, cleaned it up, cut half of it, fixed it on a hard branch, and roasted it on the firewood that had already been piled up.

A group of people gathered around the roaring fire, smelling the smell of barbecue, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, seeing that the golden roast meat was already cooked, Stern took out the dagger, used the dagger to divide the barbecue one by one, and distributed it to all the dwarves in the second seat.

It's been a long time since the last barbecue, and Stern now feels that the meat is very tender, and the dwarves are immersed in the delicious taste of the barbecue, when I saw Avanti cautiously come to Stern's side, open his hands to Stern and plead, "Master, I want to eat meat too."

The dwarves next to them were stunned for a while, with a look of surprise on their faces, most of them except for Higg didn't know that Avanti could speak, so it was normal to see a surprised look on their faces, and after the surprise, everyone laughed, and they labeled Avanti as a foodie from then on.

"Brother Andy, I have a question, it's also a contract beast, why can your Avanti speak, but my dumb can't?" Higg asked as he turned his head to Stern as he ate the barbecue.

Stern hadn't really thought about it, and he jokingly said to Higg, "Because it's a nerd, you've named it dumb, can it still talk?" Stern's words drew another burst of laughter.

"Why my Avanti can speak, and your Dumb can't speak, I can't say this, maybe it can only be attributed to a talent, of course, it may also be because Dumb has been knocked out by you with a hammer before signing the contract, and Avanti is awake, or Dumb has just mutated into a low-level Warcraft Some abilities have not yet matured", Xige thought about it and felt that it made sense, not all Warcraft can be called Avanti, and not all Warcraft can speak human words.

"Alas, the meat is tender and delicious, but it's a pity that I didn't bring fruit wine this time. Higg said as he ate the meat.

After listening to this, Stern took out a can of blood orchid rum potion from the space ring, opened the lid and handed it to Higg, the sudden appearance of rum made Higg's eyes light up, took the jar, raised the bottle in mid-air and raised his head downward, the wine suddenly poured into his mouth in a big gulp, and after drinking a few sips in a row, Higg put down the jar and handed it back to Stern and said loudly, "Well~, it's really good, it's much better than our fruit wine."

Stern handed the jar to the other dwarves, "Come, everyone take a few sips and have a taste." Everyone sat around and talked freely, and the friendship between Stern and the dwarves grew a lot.

After dinner, the dwarves walked into the bamboo building, the bamboo building was covered with hay, they took out the sheepskin they brought and put it on the hay, and lay down on the sheepskin to sleep, before three consecutive days were nested under the mountain rock to rest, fortunately it was only a little drizzle on the first day, otherwise they would have slept very peacefully in those days, although there was still a trace of sea breeze blowing into the bamboo building through the gap between the bamboos, but now they are lying in the bamboo building and sleeping much more at ease than the previous two days,' Snorr, purr' A few dwarves made a slight purr ...... a few moments.

The next morning, everyone got up early, they gathered outside the bamboo building early, waiting for Stern to give them the task, seeing that everyone was there, Stern began to tell everyone what to do today.

"Our shipbuilding base has now been built, and then we can build ships with peace of mind, first of all, the most important thing in shipbuilding is the material, to the hardness of our tools we now have the requirements for wood hardness can not be too high, otherwise it is easy to damage the tool, the most important thing is to choose corrosion-resistant, high toughness, low shrinkage of wood, today our task is to go to the mountain to find materials, the best trees for shipbuilding are made of the same kind of trees, we find the right materials after moving to the foot of the mountain, after the final selection to determine which material to choose”。

After Stern finished the task, the dwarves began to carry out the task of selecting materials, the quality of a ship depends largely on the quality of the hull materials, but now Stern's requirements for the ship to be built are not too high, as long as he can go home safely.

"It's camphor wood, it's hard and unusually heavy, it's hard to make shipbuilding timber with the tools we use now, it's not the best wood. "It was carried down from the mountain by two dwarves together, and it would be a good material if it were put on modern earth, but camphor wood is not the most suitable for the almost primitive status quo of tools.

Stern walked around the side of the tree that the dwarf had brought down from the mountain, and came to a short section of brown trees, "That's it, this is teak, it is highly corrosion-resistant, it is not easy to deform in various climates, the expansion and contraction rate is very small, it is better as a shipbuilding material, it is less prone to water leakage, the texture of the wood is not as hard as camphor wood, and it is more convenient to process, it is the best shipbuilding material here, is there more such trees on this mountain?" Stern asked the dwarf who cut down this tree.

"Quite a lot, one every fifty meters or so," replied one of the dwarves. Stern nodded, "That's good, we decided to use teak as a material to build a ship, and then you will recognize this kind of wood cutting, the teak on the ground is a little shorter, and it is best to choose teak with a DBH of more than half a meter or less than one meter." ”

After determining the materials for the shipbuilding, all the dwarves continued up the hill in search of teak. Because the teak trees are very long, with a diameter of up to one metre, it was also very challenging for the dwarves to move the trees down the mountain, so they had to work in groups to find the younger ones and work together to cut down the trees, and after cutting down, they had to clear a path before they could safely move to the beach at the foot of the mountain.

During this time, Avanti showed its absolute superiority as a fifty-year-old low-level demonic beast, and it was able to lift one of the six-meter-long teak ends on its own, while it took three dwarves to lift the other.

The majestic mountains drowned all the dwarf figures, and even a tall man like Stern could barely show a single golden hair, and it was difficult to cut down trees in such a primeval forest, but fortunately the weather was sunny on this day, and there were no clouds under the long blue sky, otherwise such a difficult task would not have been completed.
