Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 171: Day 1

The cold stone cracked under the blow of the pickaxe, revealing a gap just wide enough to accommodate its sharp point and serve as a foothold. extravagant

This matter would not have been so easy, the hard rock is strong enough to resist the strike of most iron picks in the world, especially when the user does not have suitable power conditions, or even cannot swing vigorously because of fear of falling .

However, referring to the iron pickaxe that borrowed from the magic of the goblin, it not only knocked the rock, but it didn't even make any sound or vibration. One of the latter two may cause an avalanche, and the other may cause a landslide.

Obviously, this is also what Cheese considered when making these two sets of climbing picks, but at that time he didn't know who would use them to climb mountains in the future, and which mountain that unlucky guy was going to climb.

If he had known today, Gray Robe would definitely make great efforts to optimize the effects of these two props, such as saving stamina or increasing the friction of the grip.

The icy cold wind howled in the ear, and the hood pierced into it magically blocked most of the cold air that could frostbite a person's limbs, but even the one that seeped in was enough to quickly take away the mage's body temperature.

Human life needs heat to maintain, only the dead are cold. This is why, some food does not need delicate seasoning, as long as it is heated, it is enough to make it delicious. After all, the sense of taste is the reference standard for instructing people on what can be ingested in large quantities. Swallowing steaming food can save internal organs from heating up consumption. And when thinking of this, Cheese was naturally hungry.

Judging from the somatosensory time, the two did not climb for a long time, and they were only five or six floors high when looking down. But in fact, the sun has turned to the middle, and the cheese and the cursed crow have been climbing among the steep rocks all morning. extravagant

Whether their progress is fast or slow. It’s not slow because the climbing props of Cheese really save energy and increase climbing efficiency. The unhappiness is because the environment here is too harsh, and neither the cheese nor the curse crow has any climbing experience, especially now that the curse crow has only one hand left to use, even though he stubbornly follows the cheese, But the speed of the two could not be accelerated.

If you don't speed up, you don't speed up, complaining and opportunism are useless on the most honest and slowest road. Rushing and distraction are more deadly than physical exhaustion.

Cheese knew this, so he let go of the iron pick in his left hand after climbing up a huge raised rock, then took out the alchemy dice in his arms, and pressed one side of it to the rock in front of him.

Dragon's Back Mountain refuses to leap over its magic, but if the magic's purpose is something else, the mountain seems to be tolerant. With the help of alchemy and iron picks, Cheese quickly dug a small hole on the slightly shrunken stone wall. He continued to work hard and completed the excavation of the temporary hiding place when the cursed crow followed him. The stones made two windshield stone walls, beckoning the companions to rest here.

Although he didn't say anything, Cursed Crow still showed a relieved expression when he got into the cold shelter. It was too difficult to climb the mountain with one hand, and it was almost impossible without the help of magic.

"We'll rest here until tomorrow." Cheese didn't put away the alchemy dice, but let it change shape in his hand.

Curse Crow was somewhat surprised by this decision, but when he saw Cheese began to use the alchemy on the dice to transform the climbing pick, he understood the meaning of the same door. Based on the current situation, even if the two of them continue to climb in the afternoon, the progress they get will not be better than in the morning, and they will have to build a shelter again at that time. The energy and magic power consumed are not much for the time being, but it is definitely not enough to last until they turn over. mountains. extravagant

In this case, instead of competing for a short-term progress, it is better to stop and improve the tools used for climbing to prepare for the long road ahead. This transformation process should have been more complicated, and even needed to go down the mountain to find a blacksmith to complete it. It was the magic props in Cheese's hand that made it easier. Although alchemy dice cannot be used for mass production, there is no tool more versatile than it for manual transformation.

"I think I'll get something to eat first. In order to reduce consumption, we have to start calculating physical fitness and metabolic status. If the climb is going to last for a few minutes, the ideal situation is that the body absorbs all nutrients perfectly and does not produce metabolites. Trust me, you I don't want to go to the toilet in a place like this."

Curse Crow glanced at the cold wind outside, although it was as cold in this small hole without a fire, but after all, he did not face the wind directly. In this kind of environment, even the gray robe that can keep warm and ward off the cold is a bit stretched, let alone take off the clothes to excrete.

But having said that, is it possible to devise the perfect meal plan that provides the energy needed without causing the body to metabolize excess waste? For others, this is tantamount to fantasy, but for the gray robe mage, it is not impossible. The premise is that you have precise calculation ability and can accurately obtain the values ​​required for calculation.

By analyzing and summarizing the energy consumed by the two people in one day's actions, and then by secondary processing the dry food they carry with them, removing the excess, so as to make the so-called just good daily food, this is what the curse crow will do.

The only problem is that the food doesn't taste very good when it's done this way.

"It's best to make the amount of rations so that we can eat them all at once. We don't have time to stop and eat halfway."

While transforming the climbing tools, the cheese put forward more requirements for food.

Curse Crow agreed to this proposal, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com just muttered for a while before thinking about how to realize it.

The work of the two mages was carried out quickly in the narrow cave, during which cheese also took out the breath of dawn and used it as a tool for lighting and heating. The light of dawn may not be as warm as the sun at noon, but it is enough here So that you don't freeze your hands or your mind. Finally, before the sun went down, the gray-robed mages completed their tasks.

Cheese not only modified the climbing pick, but also made a simple prosthesis by the way, and connected it to the extra climbing pick. Although this is not as good as a real arm, the specially manufactured part can help the Cursed Crow complete its journey after all.

That night, they rested early after eating the special snow-capped dry food of the Curse Crow. More difficult journeys would take longer to recover their strength. It might not be possible to move at sunrise, but it was necessary to rest at sunset.

Before falling asleep, Cheese deliberately changed the structure of the stone wall and temporarily closed the entrance of the cave. It's not about worrying about what will crawl into the cave at night, but more about guarding against the cold wind that changes direction at night and possible landslides.
