Aulus

All you need to do is find a few large trees over ten meters tall and use them to build a bridge; then you can construct a simple wooden bridge.

Suika felt that with the forest as a hunting ground, no matter how difficult things were for the people here, they wouldn't live like the characters in the stories.

Because of what Suika earlier, Gerald was somewhat resistant to her and didn't want to talk to her.

But as the leader, he knew very well that he couldn't afford to be stubborn.

He forced himself to calm down, to stop thinking about what Suika had said, and then spoke.

"We've investigated the situation in the north several times already, but it's been useless."

Ten meters may not seem long, but we simply don't have the means or the resources to build a bridge.

And there weren't any trees that big around."

Suika wasn't surprised that the other party had already investigated the other side; she would have been surprised if he truly knew nothing about that side.

"What if I could find suitable trees to build a bridge?"

Suika asked.

"Although the church is short of supplies, I can spare some resources to reinforce the bridge if we can build a basic wooden bridge."

However, there aren't any trees that big around here.

Gerald had barely finished speaking when Suika wagged her finger.

"There aren't any trees this long here, but there are on the other side."

It's getting late today. We'll take some people over tomorrow. I have a way to get enough big trees from the other side. You just need to arrange for people to reinforce the bridge then."

"You really can?" Gerald still couldn't quite believe it.

"Hey, you're doubting me, I'm getting angry!"

Suika put her hands on her hips and said with a fierce expression.

"Lemont, tomorrow you take some men and go with Suika to the north to check out the situation!"

Gerald thought for a moment, then looked up and saw Lemont secretly watching them from a distance. He called him over and entrusted the matter to him.

"North? Suika, are you going to the canyon?" Lemont hadn't heard the two talking; he'd only glanced at Suika a few times because he was worried about her suddenly baring her teeth at Gerald. Little did he expect to be conscripted by Gerald.

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Gerald still didn't quite believe her, Suika stopped explaining.

After all, there are some things you simply can't gain someone's trust with just words.

Especially since she had just dealt the other party a heavy blow.

Instead of refusing to communicate with Suika had to say and then arranged for someone to fool around with her. It can be said that Gerald's magnanimity is greater than that of many people.

So it's unlikely that such a small amount of distrust would trigger a dramatic shift in fortunes.

That night, Suika slept in a newly built log cabin.

Thanks to the warm and tropical climate here, even though there's not much stuff in the house, it's not cold at night.

The next morning, after getting up, Suika called on Lemont, and then took two equally young Sarkaz with her and headed towards the canyon to the north.

On the way, Lemont introduced his travel companions.

One of them is called Acute Angle, and the other is called Obtuse Angle.

It sounds strange, but that's the name of most Sarkaz.

Even in the Sarkaz, where the average number of men is raised is low, there aren't many intellectuals who can give people proper names; most people's names are just similar code names.

They also used to use these names to distinguish each other, and, in Acute Angle's words, their own names were much better than names like Lemont, which sounded completely unrecognizable.

The four of them arrived at the canyon amidst laughter and banter.

"The canyon here is very long and deep, and it goes all the way up into Laterano."

There's another 30 to 40 kilometers to go down.

Moreover, strong winds often blow up there.

We've tried to build bridges before, but they were all blown down."

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Lemont said to Suika.

Suika took a look around and realized that the canyon was very deep and the wind direction was very chaotic. Originally, she planned to use a tree that was more than ten meters tall as the main trunk, but after arriving here, she knew that this plan would not work.

Now I understand why Gerald wasn't interested.

However, this is no problem for Suika.

As the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

If one tree isn't enough, try two. If ten meters isn't enough, she'll go find a thicker and longer one.

"Be careful, don't stand too close. What are your thoughts on this canyon?" Seeing Suika standing silently on the edge of the cliff for a long time, Lemont worried that she might be swept into the canyon by the wind, so he reminded her.

Suika nodded

"You three stay here and don't leave, I'll be right back!"

After saying that, to the astonishment of the three, she lightly jumped and gracefully flew across the canyon to the other side.

Before Lemont could react, he saw Suika plunge headfirst into the forest opposite.

Chapter 515 Aulus

Two hours later, a group of people from the monastery stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bridge in front of them, which was "built" by sticking together seven or eight large trees, each a meter thick and more than twenty meters long.

I was speechless, but also a little excited.

Speechless, this bridge is far too rough.

Even the Sarkaz wouldn't use wood that's been simply cut off from branches without even peeling the bark as a bridge.

Suika said that they were making a fuss over nothing. She said that her architectural skills were learned from Gork and Mork. Although they might look a bit ugly, they were definitely durable.

These logs are not ordinary trees, but the famous Ironwood, which has a strength almost comparable to metal.

Luckily, I have a sharp eye. I was just looking for a few thick and long ones, but I happened to see these Ironwood that were growing so well.

These are bridge-building materials delivered right to our doorstep.

She didn't look for any other wood; she simply pulled out the thickest and longest pieces and brought them over.

When Obtuse Angle told Gerald about what had happened here, Gerald told the bishop, and then they arrived with their men, Suika had already tied the wood together with vines to create a rather exaggerated-looking wooden bridge on the cliff.

Gerald stood on the bridge, his face full of surprise.

He stomped his foot, feeling the solid ground beneath his feet, and his eyes lit up with surprise.

After bending down to examine the enormous tree beneath his feet more closely, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Because he recognized the wood as the famous Ironwood.

Looking at the wooden bridge, he felt a pang of heartache.

Ironwood is a valuable resource. So much Ironwood could completely renovate the monastery, inside and out, and there would still be surplus to make weapons.

Now it's just a bridge.

Fortunately, the chopped branches weren't thrown away; they were all left nearby, and they can still be quite useful if taken back.

Moreover, with this bridge, they can hunt in the forest to the north, which is quite good news for the monastery.

Looking at the lush forest across the way, Gerald felt a surge of pride.

With such a large forest as a hunting ground, he was confident that the monastery would no longer be plagued by hunger.

The old bishop held Suika's hand and thanked her for her help to the monastery.

Suika was about to speak, she suddenly saw two little angels somehow walk to the edge of the cliff and curiously look at the canyon.

Suddenly a strange gust of wind blew, and the two lost their balance, tumbling towards the cliff.

"Careful!"

Seeing the two fall, Lemont, who was not far away, rushed over without hesitation.

Then

The three of them fell into the canyon together.

While everyone was still in shock at the tragedy, shouts suddenly came from the canyon, growing louder as they approached.

They saw the three who had fallen fly back.

Suika was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief.

She sensed danger when she saw one of the people who had come with the old bishop and Gerald.

So she deliberately placed a few Little Suika in the canyon, just in case.

Surprisingly, this backup plan didn't trigger.

The three landed in the crowd, looking completely bewildered, and everyone quickly rushed over to check if they were injured.

"What's going on?" Gerald walked over and asked loudly.

The sudden series of events left all three of them somewhat shaken, looking bewildered and unsure of what had happened.

Finally, it was Lemont who spoke.

"I followed them after I saw Fortuna and Delphine fall."

While I was in the air, I saw the two of them float up, then I felt myself lighten, and then I floated up too...

After he finished speaking, the two little Sankta angels quickly nodded.

They all thought they were going to die, but they never expected to escape death.

Although I don't know why this happened, being alive is better than being dead.

"This canyon edge is too dangerous. Everyone in the hunting team must be extremely careful when traveling here in the future."

Someone spoke up.

Just moments ago everyone was happy about the completion of this bridge, but now that someone has fallen, everyone is suddenly somewhat resistant.

Suika looked at the gentle and refined man on the side of the crowd, who resembled a classmate.

"It's indeed a bit unsafe to leave it like this; we need to install a guardrail."

"Sir, what's your opinion on this?"

The person being stared at by Suika smiled and nodded slightly.

"Installing guardrails is indeed the most effective method."

Suika walked over happily.

"It seems great minds think alike."

But..."

The next second, Suika suddenly sprang up and swung her fist at her opponent.

The fist tore through the air, creating a sound like a cannonball.

"Thump!"

The man flew more than ten meters, rolled several times on the ground, and then landed.

Faced with Suika's sudden outburst, no one present could react in time.

By the time they made a move, the other person had already rolled several times on the ground.

"What's going on now?" Gerald felt somewhat overwhelmed by these sudden events.

"Brother Aulus ...do you have some kind of grudge?" the bishop asked uncertainly, looking at the man lying on the ground.

"This is the first time I've met him," Suika said calmly.

"Then why did you kill him?" Gerald couldn't understand why Suika would try to kill him so easily when they had just met.

Suika pointed to the "corpse" in the distance and said

"Didn't any of you notice the fishy smell on him...?"
