CHAPTER XXXII
The stronghold is about a thirty-minute walk from Dragon Hunting City, and Sanjing has already marked its location with the latest surrounding map he bought.
"This stronghold is actually built on a lake."
Sankei had reached the outside of the stronghold and looked at its appearance, a large four-story structure in the middle of a huge lake, the entrance of the lake had been paved with solid and delicate stone slabs, wooden guardrails were built on each side to form a passage into the stronghold, and in the most conspicuous position next to it stood a stone carved statue with the name of the hunters' group "Hunter's Love".
Many people in the surrounding area are also visiting the lake, and they are amazed by the unique structure of the base around the outer edge of the lake.
In this way, it seems that the water source of the surrounding lake encircles the stronghold, at least the beasts that are afraid of water cannot easily cross the lake to reach the inside of the stronghold, but it saves a lot of materials for security.
"That's amazing." Sanjing couldn't help but sigh that there were already so many mysteries on the outside of the stronghold, what would be its internal structure.
Just as Sanjing was carefully observing the stronghold, a person who looked like an apprentice next to him said contemptuously, "It's flashy, it's vain, it's really a trip for nothing." ”
Sankage turned around and found that the other party was a young man about sixteen or seventeen, carefully examining the structure on the top of the stronghold, and he was still reading something in his mouth.
"What kind of flashy are you talking about?" Sanjing asked curiously.
"You're here to visit, aren't you? Looks like a hunter. The boy said.
Sanjing nodded, "I'm a relic hunter. ”
"This stronghold is overhyped by people in the neighborhood, but in fact, it has no practical value except for its good looks."
"Huh? How so? Sanjing became more and more curious when he saw his serious appearance.
"Look, it's good to look at the external structure to use the water source of this lake to build a stronghold, but the top of it is too hollow and clean, such a large usable space, there is no protection such as iron nets or iron tents for the sake of beauty, once there are flying or gliding dragons and beasts attacking from a high place, then the whole stronghold will be in danger because of the establishment of the lake......"
As soon as the boy said this, Sanjing suddenly understood that if the top of the stronghold was attacked or an accident occurred, there was only one way out of the stronghold, unless he jumped into the water, so that if something happened to him, the situation would quickly be passive.
"Of course, the idea of a four-layer structure inside the stronghold is also very good, each floor has a certain space to set up facilities with different functions, and the view of the top layer must be excellent, it is a good choice to establish a reconnaissance or observation point on the top, but even if there is a weapon or bow and arrow defense, it can only prevent the crisis in advance, but it cannot fundamentally solve the lack of air defense, and it is too easy to destroy such a stronghold."
"You're saying that this stronghold is easy to be broken through from above, and those defensive settings are just showcase-solving, which leads to a greatly reduced security of the entire stronghold, so what should you do if you want to transform it?" Sanjing asked.
The boy said slowly, "Add some iron nets on the outside of the stronghold to the top of the four-story structure, the size gap is not more than the size of those dragons or birds and beasts, considering the aesthetics, it can be built into a symmetrical shape, and it will also be more stable, and then set some ropes that can go up and down freely in the iron net, jumping from the fourth layer to the first layer only need to follow the ropes, and even the ropes at the highest point can quickly move to any position in the stronghold!" ”
After thinking about it carefully, Sanjing felt that what the young man said made some sense, this stronghold is indeed too beautiful and clean, although it has a large four-story structure, as well as a series of perfect facilities such as observation points, camps, living rooms, etc., which is very suitable for the hunter group to be stationed, but if it is assumed to be built on the territory of many fierce beasts or evil dragons, such a stronghold is undoubtedly like paper paste, if the hunter group gathers here, it will soon fall into unexpected passivity, and there are many crises......
"You're right, you're also a construction hunter, right?" Sanjing felt that this teenager's ability in construction and construction was no less than the rumored construction hunter.
The boy shook his head, "I'm just an apprentice, and my master is the builder hunter......"
Just an apprentice is so powerful, so isn't this young master's master even more terrifying, Sanjing said, "That's the case, I'm Sanjing, the leader of the Lion Hunter Regiment, and I need to build a base of the Hunter Regiment recently, can I hire you to help?" ”
The boy waved his hand again and again, "I'm ...... I can't do it, my master said that my level is not at home now, and I am far from experienced. ”
"What about your master? If I could, I would like to ask him to join the Hunters. ”
"Master will not join any hunter group, he has long lived in seclusion......
"Seclusion?"
"Hmm...... My Master...... That...... Things to ...... I won't ever touch anything like building again. ”
In this case, it would be difficult to do, and Sanjing wondered if something must have happened that caused the young master to give up his job as a hunter and go into seclusion.
"So, can you help us build the Hunter Colony stronghold? Of course, we will ask other construction hunters to build the main stronghold, but we need your suggestions as some references, and I will also pay you a little construction reference fee. ”
"In that case...... It's no problem, oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Kukuan......"
"Okay, Kukuan, it's okay to call me Sanjing or the head of the group, where should I go if I want to find you?" Sanjing pulled out the map he had with him.
The boy thought for a moment, pointed to a location in the city of Dragon Hunting, and then he said goodbye to Sanjing, as if he had something to do.
Sanjing suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken a closer look at the internal facilities of this base, although from the perspective of security, it was just like what Kukuan said, but aside from this point, the construction and composition of the facilities inside were still very worthy of reference, after all, it also condensed the efforts of some construction hunters.
After Sankage reveals his identity, he gets permission to enter the inside of the stronghold from a hunter who looks like a doorman.
As soon as he entered, the first thing he saw was that there was a workbench facility similar to iron placed at the main entrance of the base, which was probably used to temporarily store clothes or equipment for going out.
Then enter the Hunter Colony Hall, where there is a table used by the Hunter Commander in the center, and other unknown facilities such as chairs, stone benches, straw blankets or cushions are placed on both sides.
A few hunters were sitting on it chatting about something, it should be the hunters of this hunter group, and there was no change in their demeanor because they saw the three scenes that came to visit and observed here, it seems that this place is indeed often visited......
