Short vacation 21

"Tifa, you go here. Cut down nearby trees and get some hardwoods and rattan for me. ”

Using half-burned dead branches, I drew a simple map on the ground. In order to prevent Tifa from getting lost, I even stood up and pointed to the forest path that I could vaguely see in the distance.

After making sure Tifa fully understood my intentions, he pulled out a Mithril throwing knife from his bottomless bag.

"That's right! ”

"Oh!"

Tifa didn't understand why I was giving her a throwing knife, but she took it very well. It was simply bandaged with animal skin and stuffed into the waist bag at the back.

"We'll separate from here, and I'll look for you at dawn. ”

"Good!"

Seeing Tifa leave, he turned to put out the fire on the ground. Kicked the hot rocks apart, and cut a few leafy branches nearby. Like a broom, carefully remove all traces on the ground. After confirming that nothing was missing, he picked up the giant sword leaning to the side, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Unlike others, this forest is something I've grown up playing with. So even in the middle of the night, I quickly got out.

....... A dirt road leading to the main city of Hemalton.

Here, where I am standing now, I can faintly see a few flickering lights in the direction of the main city.

On one side is an abandoned wheat field, and the artemisia grass on the abandoned wheat field can be borrowed. On the other side, there is a nameless river that flows through the main city of Hemalton. Every year when the rainy season begins, the river swells. Only now here, many of the large rocks in the middle of the river are exposed.

On this two-carriage dirt road, I had to dig two three-metre-square pits before dawn.

With the theories proposed by Tifa, plus some of my previous assumptions about myself.

Now, the greatsword takes on the role of a shovel in my hands. First, a certain amount of wind elemental was poured into the greatsword, and then a certain amount of earth element. Sure enough, the giant sword plunged into the ground like slicing tofu, and the earth quickly turned up.

Wind elements have always been my favorite. The earth elemental ones were a bit difficult to control, and it took me a lot of effort to get the hang of it.

When all the skills are mastered, digging a pit becomes a handy thing for me.

...... Finally.

"Shhhh Call.... ”

Looking at his masterpiece, I was very satisfied. The pit, which was supposed to be completed at dawn, was more than two hours ahead of schedule. He took a deep breath and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Sweating is not due to physical strength.

In fact, concentrating on the elements for the first time is a burden on the mind in itself. It lasted for three hours, and the mana output made me almost collapse.

During this time, you have to go back and forth between the forest and the dirt road. Fortunately, there is the support of the bottomless bag, but it is an unknown waste of physical strength.

The small wooden trees that Tifa had cut down all the way were brought to use, and some of them were sharpened and sunk into the pit. For maximum lethality, all sharpened disposable wooden spears are neatly stacked at the bottom of the pit.

The remaining branches are to be used as scaffolds for the camouflage of the pit. Then there is artemisia, and then then there is the void earth. In order to bear fruit, I even went to the river, fetched water, and sprinkled it on the artemisia grass covered with empty soil. In this way, after dawn, the void soil will condense together due to the relationship of moisture.

The purpose of this is to prevent some people from entering by mistake. (The trap is triggered only after a certain amount of weight has been reached.) )

Because I was in a hurry, I discarded the excess soil directly into the river.

However, plans don't always keep up with changes.

There's one thing I've forgotten.
