In October 156 of the Ziyun calendar, Stern prepared to go to the Sauron Empire to purchase blood orchids and bring them back to Yunmeng City to sell them to the Holy Dragon Mercenary Guild at a high price, and then the Holy Dragon Mercenary Guild transferred them to the Bauhinia Empire military, and the military has entrusted the guild to purchase blood orchids on behalf of the guild all year round, and this is not the first time Stern has gone to sea to buy blood orchids.

He boarded a dhow bound for the Sauron Empire in the port of Dorman in Scott City, the hull was fifteen meters long, eight meters wide, and three meters high, it was a luxury sailing ship dedicated to serving the nobility, and the sea was calm and calm, but this time he went to sea a little back, and encountered a violent storm at sea, and the huge waves on the sea swept him to a desert island, and the whole ship was eventually swallowed by the sea.

In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since he came to this desert island, today Stern is going to lead the dwarves to start the construction of galleons, and he will be able to leave the island in a short time, he got up from bed early, and when he came out of the cave, he saw Xia concentrating on physical training in the clearing, and it could be seen that Xia was a hardworking and motivated child. Higg had been waiting at the foot of the hill for a long time, and Stern came to Higg's side and waited with him for the dwarves to arrive.

Soon after, all the dwarves had arrived, Stern cleared his throat and said: "Thank you for coming today, you can put down your heavy work to help me build a ship, I thank you all here" After speaking, Stern bowed to everyone, and then said, "Uncle Higg has prepared all the tools needed for the initial stage of shipbuilding so far yesterday, and then we can start shipbuilding work, so I will arrange our next work"

Stern calmly recounted the shipbuilding, and the dwarves on the side listened attentively, "First of all, shipbuilding is not something that can be completed in a day or two, at least one or two months, and at most half a year, so I set the location of shipbuilding on the east coast of the hill, and we need to build a bamboo building there first, as our temporary base, and sleep in the bamboo building at night during the shipbuilding period;

Secondly, the ship to be built this time has less than five people on board with me and two contract demonic beasts, so the tentative hull length is ten meters, the width is six meters, and the height is two meters and a half, which is too big to waste time and is not easy to control, too small and easy to be overturned by the waves, this size should be about the same;

Finally, we need to make a canvas with a width of four meters and a length of six meters, and the material used to make the canvas can be made of linen, although it is a little rougher, but it will be usable, we will not talk about other things, everyone will go back today to prepare some luggage, and tomorrow we will set off to the coast to build the bamboo building first."

After Stern finished explaining the shipbuilding to the dwarves, he dismissed everyone, and Higg and Stern walked side by side, left and right, "Uncle Higg, then we will leave tomorrow, as for the meal, I will have someone take Xiao Ash to the hill to get it, and after the completion of the bamboo building, all the food can be stored in the bamboo building, or we can burn it in the same place when the time comes."

Higg nodded in agreement, "Brother Andy, the next shipbuilding matter will be left to us with confidence, you can give us guidance on the side." The only thing Stern had to do was to build a ship, and the second was to look for the Storm Leopard.

The temperature alternates between hot and cold in the warming season, the weather is changeable, the next morning it was drizzling, the dwarves gathered early in the open space according to the original agreement, each of them with luggage, everyone set off as soon as they arrived, the road was relatively flat, Stern rode the little gray in front to lead the way, the goblin king Avanti followed quietly, the road was not too far in total, less than twenty miles, it took about half a day to reach the coast.

Stern led them to the foot of the mountain to the south, jumped down from the little gray back, pointed to the mountain and said, "Look at the bamboo forest on the mountain, we will go there to cut the bamboo, and after we have cut it, we will move here, and after we build a bamboo building here, this will be our temporary residence." The group found a place sheltered by mountains and rocks to rest for a while, and by the way, they took the dry food they brought over and ate lunch.

After lunch, everyone began to go up the mountain, according to Stern's request, the dwarves first cut down two trees, cut the trunks into four wooden stakes, fixed them on the beach at the foot of the mountain, and drew a rectangular range five meters long and four meters wide, and used the four wooden stakes as the four feet of the bamboo building, so as to make the bamboo building stronger.

Then Stern divided the dwarves into two groups, one group went to the mountain to cut rattan to fix the bamboo, and the other group went to the bamboo forest with Stern to cut bamboo, and the dwarves moved the cut bamboo to the foot of the mountain one by one, and the bamboo cut by Stern was carried to the foot of the mountain by Avanti, which was extremely powerful and could move five bamboos at a time.

In one afternoon, the foot of the mountain was full of bamboo and rattan, and the number of bamboos was obviously not enough, and it was estimated that it would take half a day to cut enough bamboo tomorrow. After half a day's drive this morning and a half-day of cutting bamboo in the afternoon, Stern was not a black-hearted contractor, and he told the dwarves to stop and rest early.

I only brought two days of dry food with me today, and I ate a little bit of dinner very simply, and after eating, everyone sat quietly on the ground to rest and sleep after a tiring day.

The next day, when the weather had cleared, the dwarves continued their work of cutting rattan and bamboo, and in less than half a day they had cut the same amount of bamboo as yesterday. Lunch was picked up by Stern on Ash's ride up the hill, and it took less than an hour to go back and forth.

After lunch, the next job is to use rattan to weave the bamboo wall, the preparation of the bamboo wall has certain requirements, the side facing the sea is five meters wide and three meters high, the side facing the sea is five meters wide and two meters high, and the two bamboo walls between the two sides are four meters wide, and the height decreases from three meters to two meters, so that the oncoming sea breeze will be blocked by the three-meter-high bamboo wall, and the top of the bamboo building will not be blown away by the wind.

It took half a day for the dwarves to cut the bamboo to the required length, weave it into a bamboo wall, and fix it on a wooden stake after weaving, and a bamboo building without a roof was built. On the third day, the main thing is to make the roof of the bamboo building without a roof, the roof is more complicated to do, it took the dwarves half a day, after the roof is covered, Stern has people to cut a lot of thatch, the thatch is arranged together in a row on the top of the bamboo building, and then the thatch is pressed with bamboo, so that even if it rains heavily, the bamboo building will not leak.

The door of the bamboo building was opened from the back so that the sea breeze would not blow into the bamboo building, and after doing this, Stern rode back to the hill with Little Ash to get some soft hay, which he spread on the ground inside the bamboo building.
