Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Tighten it more here, the horse's power is much greater than expected." Atta sitting on the grass heard the reminder from behind, nodded, and grasped the other end of the grass stem with a little force To make the relationship between the knits on your hands more compact. Having said that, she is not good at this kind of work after all. When preparing grass stems, she completely learns from the beginning. At the same time, she is often unskilled and often makes the quality of the straw ropes made. . The only thing that is gratifying is that at least she is better at this delicate work than the count and the cat goblin, and those two people have now been changed tasks to collect the supplies for the team overnight.

"Are you sure this thing will work? I mean, it sounds feasible, but as you said, horses are far more powerful than humans. Even if we really succeed in making the lasso you requested and accurate Hugging those horses, their struggles can completely throw us out. "The cheese said, while orderly weaving the grass stems into straw ropes with gloved hands, as a gray robe, his fingers have long been Adapting to and fine-tuned operations during training, the preparation of straw rope was not difficult for him, but just as he said, he felt a little worried about the results that his opponent could achieve. After all, cheese has never seen a real lasso.

Lassos, or nooses, may have similar but different targets in different cultural circles. For residents on the grassland, lasso generally refers to two things. The first is more common, as another tool for the herdsman besides the whip. To put it simply, a contractible knot is tied to the top of a rope. The herdsman will wrap the rope loop around the neck of the escaped animal by flicking it, and pull it back with horsepower and manpower. This is what Batu wants to make.

As for the second type of lasso, it is more common in the military. Although it is also used in daily life, it is still much less frequent than the first type. That is to tie a heavy object of similar mass, such as a stone, to both ends of a rope, and then throw it by speed, so that when the lasso hits the target, the heavy object at both ends will continue to move in accordance with inertia. The goal is intertwined. This kind of lasso can effectively tie the hind legs of cattle and sheep and human legs, and then achieve the effect of controlling the target. However, the target hit by it will fall over with a high probability, which will inevitably cause damage and loss.

The reason why Batu wants to introduce the second lasso after explaining that he wants to make the first lasso is actually justified. Just like the question raised by the cheese, Batu also had doubts when the idea came into being. He also considered using the second type of lasso to replace the milder approximation, but he did not take long to dispel it. The idea, "This is something that can't be helped. I said before that this thing has a gamble component. Lasso may not help us achieve our goal, but at least it can buy us time. Let one of us be more likely Riding on horseback, that ’s our purpose, is n’t it? "

There was a smile on the corner of the cheese, because he realized from whom he learned this idea. The prairie people are not neglected in calculations. In fact, because of the pressure of survival, they are often forced to face harsh choices. However, this way of survival has also made them very imprudent in some respects. This kind of imprudentness is relatively speaking. At least the people who have cultivated on the land never think that plundering and nomadism are an worthy encouragement. In these There are too many unpredictable risks in the work. But the prairie people do n’t think so. They do n’t have land that can produce food steadily. A disaster year or a plague can make the richest tribes lose their food. Compared with these, the risks are not considered risks, are they?

But now, Batu is standing in front of the mage, using his experience and wisdom to try to reduce the uncontrollable risks to achieve his purpose, for which he understands patience and preparation. This is a change from his original heroism and even some recklessness, but I still don't see the quality of this change. Just as a gray robe, the cheese appreciates this change, and he can see more sparks of thought in the behavior of his companions, which in his view is better than a bonfire of a hundred logs.

"That's right. But if we can leave those horses in place, is it more likely to be tamed?" The question actually knows the answer, but he still asked the question, the purpose is to see How Batu will answer him now. He wanted to know what the Hawk Falcon grew up after the previous incident.

If it was Batu a few days ago, he would show an impatient expression and answer the Master ’s question with a bit of irony, but now he is facing the cheese very seriously and explains with a serious expression , "Taming horses and capturing horses are two things. We can grab the group of horses by various means, but we can only get some horse meat, because the knocked down horses will not recognize us. Horses are a pride Only creatures who have been tested on their backs have the right to decide their direction. "

The mage was satisfied with this answer. He nodded and said nothing more, but the work at hand was done more quickly and delicately, and he is now more confident in his actions tomorrow.

As a result, at night, Atta failed to make a suitable lasso. The team could rely on the next day, only the cheese made half and half, and Batu made half. It was said that it was a day and a half. In fact, the mage intended to make this lasso longer and throw it out in a more concealed place, but he miscalculated the weight of the long straw rope, and the lasso could not be thrown away. Get up ~ www.readwn.com ~ Fortunately, Batu took over her work in time when she realized that the female swordsman's hand did not wield the magic sword when she was tying the grass rope. The part of the grass rope that fits just enough. And through this incident, the Falconer also realized that he might have a stereotyped impression of women unconsciously.

"You don't have to be too sad. As the first person to get in touch with this kind of thing, you have made a very good job." At the campfire after a simple dinner, Batu tried to comfort Atta. But to his surprise, that good face turned to him was not much frustrated, only a little unwilling. So this stimulated Batu's thinking about women. And his thinking has once again become the object of cheese observation.

Lothar also noticed the changes in Batu, but he did n’t seem to be surprised, "Some people need many years to grow up. Some people only need one day."
