Chapter 56 The Sixth Fortress
"I think the sage Morgar might not be able to survive this summer."

Guabrak said lowly to Grox.

No matter how dull Groks was, he could still feel the deep sadness in the leader's tone.

"But I greeted the old man before I set off. I think he is fine, isn't he?"

Gua Braque shook his head:
"He told me on the way back from the northern frontier last time that his limbs began to stiffen and it became difficult to walk."

"I asked him again the last time I learned about the map from him before departure."

"He said he had a vague feeling that his time was numbered, so he began to pray day and night."

"Waiting for the final call of the gods at all times."

Grox fell silent now.

He finally understood why Guabrak had suddenly started learning map making.

Grox, who followed the leader to listen to Morgar's class, knew.

Making a map is much harder than it looks.

First of all, making animal blood suitable for drawing is a huge problem.

Because different types of animal blood have different textures, and trolls often don't have room to pick and choose.

Therefore, it is necessary to master the corresponding treatment and processing methods for the animal blood of various common animals.

The process of making and processing also requires a lot of patience.

Add appropriate proportions of plants and ores to the collected animal blood for mixing and stirring.

After so many repetitions, the animal blood with bright colors, not easy to solidify, and which can be used for drawing can be obtained at last.

Getting the beast blood done is only the first step.

In the process of mapping, it is also necessary to draw lines and shapes on the leather with gentle and steady.

Volume and Strength need to be adjusted to control the shade and thickness of the lines.

Once written improperly, animal blood is easy to seep and spread on the leather, resulting in indistinct parts of the map.

Therefore, during the whole process, one must remain focused at all times and handle every stroke carefully.

Pause now and then to check the shapes and lines you've drawn and their relationship to other elements on the map to ensure accuracy and coherence.

The character traits necessary to draw a map: patience, carefulness, concentration, etc., are things that are incompatible with most trolls.

Not to mention that painting itself is a rare quality among trolls.

Troll artists generally only like to play with bones.

So it is conceivable that a troll with cartography ability like Morgel is such a valuable talent for the "Big Stick Clan".

It would be fine if it was the "Big Clan" in the past. After all, the life centered on the lair, and important places that should be familiar with, such as the third peak mountain stream that can provide water and prey, are already very familiar. There is no big difference if there is a map or not. .

But now is the pioneering period for the trolls.

The importance of strategic materials such as maps is highlighted.

There is no doubt that losing Morgar would be a great loss for the clan.

The young trolls leading the way were unaware of the dreary atmosphere in the leader's place.

The team just kept going.

After a change of the sun and the moon that made the trolls seem unaware.

Guabulak and his party finally climbed to the ridge of the sixth peak.

Walk in the direction indicated by the monument.

A stone house blown by the wind and snow came into view.

It stands alone among the white snow-capped mountains.

Like a piece of jade in the rough waiting to be carved.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The resident of the sixth peak has been completed, and it has initially qualified to be called a "fortress".

The resident stone house is made of rough and ancient huge snow-capped limestone stacks, and the rocks are carved with cracks by the times and wind and frost.

These are stones obtained locally, which look rough and uneven, and some are even incomplete, giving people a sense of sloppy.

But if you really hit it with a stone stick, you will understand that the strong shock can only be possessed by extremely hard rock.

The snow hangs down from the eaves in icicles, like rows of swords piercing the earth.

These icicles made a low roar in the wind, majestic and majestic.

The whole stone house exudes a wild atmosphere.

It was uncrafted, unostentatious, insignificant in the desolate and silent snowy landscape.

However, in its majestic and majestic bulk, it carries the years and natural wildness, which makes people fascinated by it.

The layout of the house is similar to that of the Fourth Fortress.

The storage area, firepit and rest area are clearly divided.

Accommodating the next row of nine trolls is no problem at all.

Since the location of the sixth fortress is not as favorable as that of the fourth fortress, it is instead located in the northern part of the Great Snow Mountains where the climate is extremely harsh, and the sunlight basically disappears.

Therefore, the whole stone house did not deliberately cut out windows.

A small opening was simply made on the side of the house, and a movable wooden board was used to block it.

For example, in the current situation where a lot of firewood is added to the firepit, just move the boards a little to make some gaps.

The trolls sat on the ground around Guabrak just like a few days ago.

Waiting for the opening of the last banquet before leaving.

Guabulak was not in a hurry to speak, but first looked at the surrounding walls and the layout of the room.

A sense of accomplishment comes spontaneously.

As far as the building itself is concerned, it is just an ordinary stone house.

Although large enough, there is nothing special about it other than that,

However, no one can imagine that this stone house fortress was created on the ridge of the sixth peak.

Because the difficulty of excavating the stone is far better than that of the fourth peak.

So even if it's just filling in the shelf that was built last time, it's a lot more convenient than starting from scratch, and the trolls still expend a lot of energy.

The difficulty of building a stone house on the sixth peak does not stop there.

The daily wind blowing on the sixth peak is so strong that it seems like thousands of troops galloping past.

This makes building boulders extremely difficult.

And whenever a real storm comes, the trolls must stop building immediately.

Let the rocks you just hit on fall down again, and hours of hard work come to naught and you must stop first.

Otherwise, if you insist on working, not only may you be injured by falling rocks, but you may also be directly buried by the manic wind and snow.

No matter what it is, on the sixth peak with extremely poor visibility, it is almost equivalent to death.

After all, more than half of the trolls in the team are low-level trolls, and their physical fitness is not outstanding.

Coupled with the limited field of vision, it may not be possible to get timely rescue from other trolls.

Fortunately, the overall construction went smoothly this time, although one troll warrior was accidentally crushed by a loose boulder.

But an injury like this isn't a big deal for the trolls.

Eat and drink a few meals and you'll be fine.

After summarizing this action, especially considering that no troll died, Guabrak was very satisfied.

He opened his mouth, about to express his gratitude and encouragement to all the trolls present.

Sudden.

The supreme torrent springs from the depths of the soul.

　Thank you Qi Liang for the monthly pass!
