Chapter 17: The Dwarf Inventor

As yesterday, the industrious women had already gotten up when the day was slightly bright, and they had always gotten up early, and they could not sleep at dawn because of the heavy fog and unstable sleep in the open air.

But at the lake, they met the short man who was sleeping soundly.

"Hah, isn't this Sheehan? Why did you come here to sleep?"

Sheehan was lying in the small pile of rocks by the lake, and was watched by several women for a while, and finally woke him up, and he looked around sleepily, and was still a little dazed, not knowing what was happening.

"What's the matter, what are you doing around me?" he asked, yawning, familiar people, so he wasn't nervous at all.

"Haha, Sheehan, did you go to the lake in the middle of the night to sleep because you wanted to fish?"

"Is there one?" Sheehan turned around and saw the lake a few meters away, and he shook his head, wondering how he had slept so well and came here.

"What's going on?" The three guys who were still patrolling saw that it was already dawn, and many of them had woken up, and were about to go back to the camp to get a good night's sleep, when they saw several women talking and laughing around a small figure, and they also came to take a look.

"Maybe it's sleepwalking, but that's okay, just don't run into the lake to catch fish. One of the young men with a scruffy beard couldn't help but quipped that he had heard that some people who slept well at night would wander around without knowing it, a situation called sleepwalking.

"Haha, not necessarily, maybe Sheehan dreamed of swimming herself. ”

Everyone was busy and having fun, pointing and pointing from time to time, to Sheen's embarrassment, he still hadn't figured out how he could sleepwalk, something that had never happened before.

In the end, Kirin inquired about the situation, and then instructed the night watchmen to look more carefully at night, and now that such a big living person as Sheen sleepwalked to the lake and did not find it, wouldn't it be easy for someone with bad intentions to sneak into the camp? Fortunately, the wooden wall can be built today, and the safety of the territory will be guaranteed.

Sheehan smuggled back, he couldn't stand the feeling of being watched by so many people.

The six forest trolls came over when the sun rose, and at the same time, they all dragged a huge wild boar in their hands, Lei Ming couldn't help but frown when he saw the wild boar in the past few days, although he could also deal with these huge beasts, but it would never be as easy as the trolls, and the dark blood flowing from the boar's nose and mouth swore that they were all stoned to death.

There are many people who think that the wild boar is very stupid, and when it encounters an opponent, it will immediately rush up and die, but Lei Ming knows that this is not the case, the wild boar is actually very shrewd, and only when it encounters a creature weaker than it will attack with perseverance, and when it feels danger, the wild boar will run away quickly.

The trolls were a little embarrassed to give the boar to Thunder, this is their meal for the day, the prophet told them to bring the wild boar directly and let Thunder arrange someone to cook it for them, not only will it save a lot of salt, but it will also taste delicious.

Lei Ming readily agreed, the townspeople of Kent Town each family have an iron pot, don't worry about no pot to cook, the pig skin of these wild boars is a good thing, enough to make several pairs of leather armor, and the production is simple, nothing more than cutting and sewing, the wild boar skin is rough and thick, it is excellent to make leather armor, and the boiled broth is also very delicious, and it contains rich nutrition, if the trolls can't eat it, they can also eat a few pieces of meat to satisfy their hunger, these five or six hundred catties of big wild boars have a lot of meat.

All the people are busy, even the women of the caravan are sowing the seeds, most of the strong men are cutting trees, not only to build walls, but also to build houses, there are not a few wood needs, and most of the older men have a skilled craft, now it is mainly the carpenter's work is more popular, the work of mowing grass can not be stopped, maybe when the weeds of nearly a thousand acres of land are cut, each family is enough to send a mat woven with tough grass stems.

Three of the six trolls were familiar with the previous day, and they exchanged a few words with a wow, and then tapped the big wooden hammer twice to demonstrate, and the three newcomers immediately understood, or it was easy to communicate with each other, and it would take a little time for Thunder to make them understand, and now it's okay, the trolls will start working as soon as they arrive.

The sound of "bang......bang

Thunder rode a stone horse into the depths of the forest, they had cut down trees so much that all the trees near the canyon had been stalked, and in order to avoid danger, all the felled places had been cleared, the trees had been cut down, the bushes had been removed, and the rattans had been collected, leaving only the stumps.

Maybe it was the noise of the trees being cut down, and the beasts that lived in the Forests of Kyle were all far away, and Thunder walked inside for a long time before he saw a few little squirrels, and they were moving with nuts.

In this way, cutting down trees adds a layer of security to the security of the territory.

Lei Ming returned satisfied, he already had some cases of territory construction in his heart, after all, he was a university scholar, and he also had a lot of knowledge in the development of the territory, and after the wooden wall of the territory was built, he was going to build the Dark Knight Hall first, and those people in Kent Town did not have a single professional, so the combat effectiveness of the territory would definitely not work, if he went out, the professionals of those caravans might not be able to suppress it, so he wanted to build the Knight Hall, and then turn a dozen young men from the Kent Town Garrison into bloodline warriors。

There was a burst of meat in the cauldron in the territory, even the man who was cutting trees above the canyon felt that he smelled the tempting fragrance, it was the aroma of the fine meat in the boiling soup, like a drop of essence flowing from the pieces of meat into the soup, the crushed salt hooked, the deliciousness of the big meat wafted out, and the several trolls who were working couldn't help but turn their heads frequently, looking into the iron pot containing the pieces of meat, and the others kept swallowing their saliva, thinking that they would have to ask for a bowl of broth no matter what they wanted when eating。

Didn't wait for noon, in order to take care of the trolls' eating time, the territory opened the meal in advance, and the six trolls sat down in groups, and large pieces of wild boar were packed in wooden barrels and handed over to them, and as soon as the trolls ate this delicious wild boar, they were immediately attracted and immediately feasted.

"Brother, the little bread tree has grown again. During the meal, Alice happily told Lei Ming the good news, and at the same time drank the broth happily, the soup of those mushrooms could not compare to the taste of the big meat and bones, she had completely forgotten the unbearable feeling of headaches at night, many times, she was even a little used to it.

"Then Alice has to grow up quickly. Lei Ming looked at the bread tree, which was about two meters tall, and nodded. He gnawed on the meat and bones in his hands, and it tasted really good, and it could be regarded as stained with the light of the group of trolls, otherwise he would still have to eat black bread.

The other people in the territory also ate happily one by one, these wild boar were cooked in a lot of pots, there was a lot of broth, and a few wild boars were cleaned up, and there were many pigs in the water that could be eaten, and the fat intestines cut into sections became fragrant and sweet, and many of the people were thinking when they looked at the trolls sitting on the periphery, if only these trolls came to help every day.

After eating, Lei Ming arranged for the people to continue their work, cutting down trees and sowing seeds are the top priorities, and everything must be completed quickly.

Inspired by the broth, and the trolls ate happily, they were full of energy when they worked, and the wooden hammer couldn't stop, and the sun hadn't set yet, and a circle of wooden walls was actually completed!

Many people are busy while looking at the tall wooden wall with joy, which is the capital of their livelihood, and they feel much safer after having the wooden wall.

Thunder designed and built the Dark Knight Hall himself, and the lords helped each other to start building the wooden house, which went exceptionally smoothly because the trolls helped in building the roof.

On the third day, Qi Lin was a little heavy and found Lei Ming, and leaned to Lei Ming's side and whispered: "Lord Lord, something is not quite right by the lake, there have been adult men in the territory who have been taken to the lake unknowingly for three consecutive days, and I have arranged for someone to focus on the inspection last night, but I didn't expect this situation to occur." ”

"Well, I see, it's okay at night, I'll take care of it. Lei Ming thought about some of the internal structure of the Knight's Hall, and when he heard Qi Lin report this kind of supernatural event, he glanced at the ground, thought about it distractedly, and then promised to check it himself, and now there were no casualties, Lei Ming thought that there might be something strange.

At night, Qi Lin personally led people to patrol, a total of three groups of three scattered in the camp to inspect, and there were four heightened and reinforced guard towers around the guard, it is hard to believe that every night there are adult men who are taken from the camp to the lake unconsciously.

Lei Ming lay on the canyon, although the moonlight was very faint, but with his eyesight he could barely see the situation in the camp, he was now condescending, he could observe unaffected, because he also felt that under the strict patrol of Qilin, no one should suddenly disappear into the camp, and the entire camp had two entrances and exits.

In the middle of the night, a thin white mist rose from the lake, and Lei Ming's mind was a little clearer, and it was normal for there to be fog at night by the lake, but Lei Ming was keenly aware that this fog was the key.

Sure enough, when the white fog became more and more and more and covered the camp, a soft murmur sounded in the ears of Thunder, and none of the members of the garrison patrolling in the camp with torches responded, and were still patrolling as usual, Thunder realized that something was wrong, turned on his horse, and launched a charge on the slope.

The heavy stone horse sped up quickly, plunging into the fog in the blink of an eye, and Qilin and the others heard the sound of a thunderous charge, and immediately rushed over.

When Thunder rushed into the white mist, a white ghost was floating in the air, and a short lord was held up by an invisible force, over the wooden wall, and followed the ghost, Thunder looked at it, the ghost was short, it seemed to be a woman, and it was a dwarf, but this ghost was just a remnant thought, just acting according to instinct.

"Relief. The blood spear pierced into the ghost's body, piercing through, and the dark fighting qi gushed out from the thunder's body, instantly shattering the ghost and dissipating into the air.

Kirin quickly brought people over, and the man who had been taken out of the camp by the ghost lay on the ground and fell asleep.

"Lord Lord, have you found anything?"

"Nothing, just a weak ghost. Lei Ming replied briefly, and then rode the stone horse to the lake.

"My lord, there's a cave over here!"

Thunder quickly drove the stone horse to the man's side, and by the light of the torch, he looked fixedly, only to see a small piece of land piled up in the middle of the rocks by the lake, and a boxy hole was exposed in front of him.

"It's a magnet, a very subtle mechanism. Lei Ming stretched out his hand and touched the entrance of the cave, and sure enough, he also touched the magnet, and as soon as the magnet in the cave was close to the magnet piled outside, it immediately produced a strong suction.

Relying on the suction of the opposite sex magnet to make the key to the cave is simple and practical, and does not require energy maintenance, and the magnet is scattered in the pile of rocks by the lake, which is even more inconspicuous, and it is also possible that the owner of the cave has found these stones with the same appearance as the magnet to cover up.

It should be that this dwarf ghost still maintains the habit of being alive, and every time he comes out, he has to open this mechanism, otherwise it will be difficult for them to discover this cave.

Lei Ming took a torch and went down to explore the road alone, the small steps were only about ten floors, three or two steps to the bottom, through the faint light of the torch, the whole picture of this underground cave came into Thunder Ming's eyes, tables, chairs, leather paper, more is a large number of parts, and even something similar to gunpowder, this is a small laboratory.

There are two stone rooms, one large and one small, and the small one is the bedroom, and there is only one quite large stone bed in the whole bedroom.

"This is a dwarf inventor. Lei Ming took a brief look, and he had a conclusion in his heart, feeling slightly surprised, he began to look at things one by one to see if this dwarf inventor had any great inventions!
