Chapter 71: Distasteful Revenge
Adrian was a hero who had faced countless foes and conquered them all. But this time, things were different. It seemed he had met an enemy like no other... architecture.
"Not again!" Adrian sighed as the tent he made crashed once again.
Even though Adrian had raised countless tents during the dozens of subjugation and exploration quests, he had embarked on, building a sturdy structure from just animal hides, sticks, and stones was a new experience for him.
No matter how many times he tried, the tent ended up collapsing, much to his dismay and the entertainment of the tribal who were watching him intently.
"How the heck do they stay up?" Adrian wondered, staring at the tents around him.
He thought they had to have support from metal pins or something else to help the central beam stay in place, but he was wrong. There was no underlying secret like Adrian expected.
Next to him, Rina and some other slaves worked hard, making a tent in groups. Since he was failing independently, Adrian decided to take some time off and analyse how the others did it before returning to work on his own.
"...this is a tent?" Adrian wondered upon seeing the structure Rina had made from scratch.
The first thing Adrian noticed inside the tent was the tiny hole in the ceiling to allow unfiltered light to enter. On top of the hole was a flap that could be shut if it rained or obstructed the light if needed.
