Chapter 151: Slave (1)
After getting a general idea, I started building the actual bridge.
Seeing something once is worth more than hearing about it a hundred times, and doing it once is worth more than seeing it a hundred times.
To properly understand the structure and the principle behind it, I built a model using branches.
A bridge that would allow survivors to cross the river more easily.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
More than getting stuck, I felt completely overwhelmed.
And I got stuck the moment I started.
“…How was I supposed to do this again?”
I had managed to understand the structure and principle thanks to the model.

‘And it doesn’t help that using aura is difficult for me.’
The felled trees had to be cut to a uniform size, and even using the plane was difficult because it was my first time doing it.
It wasn’t something that could be solved just by planing the wood.
But when it came time to actually do it, problems appeared everywhere.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
I split the felled tree exactly in half and then split each half again lengthwise.
That’s why I only used mana to reinforce my body and did all the work without aura.
Scrape! anxiety Scrape! beacon Scrape!
I still didn’t have proper control over the cold energy, so I tried to avoid using aura whenever possible.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Since the trunk was incredibly thick, sawing it required an absurd amount of physical labor.
‘Every time I do something like this, I respect people from ancient times even more.’
If the only problem had been the sawing, I could have gritted my teeth and endured it.
If I hadn’t even had a saw, I probably would have given up already.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Adjust its length.
Cut down a tree.
Breathing itself became difficult, so in the end I had no choice but to put on the veil I had received for protection against sandstorms.
But the sawdust flying everywhere was even worse.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
“Huff. abandon When the hell am I going to finish all of this?”
Plane it until every detail was uniform.
I had barely finished processing a single piece of wood and already felt like cursing.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
And the amount of material was absurd.
Sawing was exhausting.
Dust was flying everywhere.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
At the end of the day, they only had the strength of raccoons.
I considered asking the raccoon family for help, but dismissed the idea.
‘Isn’t there anyone around willing to work?’
And if they accidentally started a fire, it would be a disaster.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
I leaned against the pile of wood and drank a glass of water.
I hadn’t even been working that long, and I was already thinking that.
Doing all of this alone was much harder than I had imagined.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
‘And that’s not even considering whether I’ll actually be able to raise the bridge.’
Even though it was still a cool spring, I was drenched in sweat.
The worry slowly began to grow.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Title) Let Just One Person Come
What if, after processing all the wood, another problem arose and I couldn’t build the bridge?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.

└ Even a moderator refuses to become Grills’ slave. apple Haha.
└ HeavenlyDemon: Hmm. antenna Even I don’t find that appealing. admire It doesn’t even look like a hobby.

└ DwarfPassingBy: And would you even know how to use it? abandon Or could you at least figure it out if someone gave you one? portal Hahaha.
└ WildGrills: Sigh… I wish a suitable slave would show up.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
└ Exactly. afford The problem is that you’re alone.
└ WildGrills: If this is hard for me, I wonder how much worse it would be for a normal person. shadow I really do respect them more now.
└ At least they don’t do it alone, Grills…
└ I think he’s having an existential crisis. acquire Otherwise he wouldn’t have changed this much hahaha.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
└ Why don’t you ask the raccoon family for help?
└ What’s the point of humans having such high potential if they’re only strong when they work together? artist Hahaha.
└ Doesn’t that apply to the other races too?
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
└ Dad Raccoon is already working. silence He’s busy searching for medicinal herbs.
└ If you do that, you’ll end up getting kidnapped, idiot.

└ StarlightPrincess: You people don’t even seem human. armor How can you think like that?

└ WildGrills: To be honest, I did think about it, but I discarded the idea because they could get hurt.
└ He has fur, but yeah, it seems like he still has some conscience hahaha.
└ Every time I see Grills, I find a new reason to laugh hahaha.
└ StarlightPrincess: …Well, at least you still have some conscience left.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
After complaining a little, everyone said what they wanted to say and went back to their own business.
I had come in specifically to take a break.
I didn’t really care either.

└ What are they, foreign workers or something? avalanche Hahaha.
└ What if you ask the gorillas for help? anchor You never know. meadow They might agree if you give them fasting pills.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
└ More like animal workers hahaha.
└ Should we really call them beastfolk? wizard From the way they act, they seem more like prehistoric men.
└ They say beastfolk are excellent workers.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
└ Suspiciously: They’re not beastfolk, damn it…!
└ If they have fur, arms and legs, and can talk, they’re beastfolk hahaha.
└ That’s exactly what beastfolk are.
└ They really are hahaha.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
They were filled with mutual resentment.
But the gorillas were the Sloth’s sworn enemies.
It wasn’t that I had never thought about hiring the gorillas in exchange for fasting pills.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
‘Looks like I’ll have to do it myself.’
I complained inwardly as I continued processing wood.
Cut the logs horizontally.
As if they would ever agree to help me.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Then split them vertically.
As time passed, the amount of processed wood slowly increased.
Grain by grain, a mountain is formed.
And finally plane them.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Or perhaps gradually replace it with a stone bridge.
Later I could fill the joints with cement.
‘If I don’t let it dry, it’ll end up covered in mold…’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
“Phew…”
For now, the only important thing was focusing on finishing the bridge.
A considerable amount of time had passed, and a good quantity of processed wood had accumulated.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
For a moment, I thought that since I would probably be using a lot of wood in the future, perhaps I should build a separate drying room.
‘That would mean even more expansion work.’
Though I quickly dismissed the idea.
Of course, it was still nowhere near enough, but I carried the planks into the cave anyway to protect them from possible rain.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Unless survivors arrived, there would be no need to expand anything.
And even if they did arrive, they might be people with no productive skills whatsoever. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
And soldiers are famous for doing just about anything except producing things.
Ludwig was also a Holy Knight—in other words, a soldier.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
‘At least the inside of the cave is dry.’
Of course, one or two days weren’t enough to fully dry the wood.
A warm and dry environment.
Besides, the weather was still cool, so the fireplace remained lit.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
I let out a remark that was practically a sigh as I checked the time.
It was best to think of it simply as a base structure.
According to the dwarf, it was a process that required several months at minimum.
“Wow. meadow The whole day disappeared.”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
The sun slowly descended toward the horizon, as if telling me to wrap things up already.

I had spent the entire afternoon working after lunch, and evening was already approaching.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
I had lost an entire day working.
I wondered when all this would end, but if I kept working steadily, sooner or later I would see the finish line.
And I still wasn’t finished. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

I wanted to retrieve the fish traps and, while I was at it, check the opposite bank.
‘Hmm. afford That place looks even worse.’
Before the sun disappeared completely, I went up to the river.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
And it wasn’t grass.
It wasn’t like it had absorbed radiation or anything, but the entire ground glowed green.
The landscape that had appeared was even more unpleasant than the fog zone.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
The soil itself was literally emitting a green light.
Please don’t let whatever kind of radiation that is reach this side.
I carefully collected the fish caught in the traps.
‘What the hell happened there for it to end up like that?’
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
He was carrying a medicinal herb in his hand.
“Kie!”
Thanks to installing two traps instead of one, I had managed to catch no fewer than five fish.
Shortly after I returned, Dad Raccoon appeared.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
We decided to use it as an ingredient for fasting pills.
By the way, the fasting pills were already practically finished and could be delivered the next morning.
When I asked HeavenlyDemon, she told me it was a ginseng filled with internal energy.
It looked like wild ginseng.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
‘He has an incredible talent for finding ginseng.’
Since he had produced results, he deserved a reward.
I was happy, but the one who seemed happiest was the Sloth.
He really loved eating.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
“Kieee! palette Kie!”
“Kieee.”
I prepared one of the fish appetizingly and gave it to the raccoon family.
It seemed they absolutely loved grilled fish because they devoured it completely.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Watching her feed her child before feeding herself reminded me that a family was still a family.
Until a few years ago, I also used to sit and eat with my whole family around the same table.
‘This makes me a little jealous.’
Mom Raccoon was the first to place a piece of fish into Baby Raccoon’s mouth.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
It still hurt to remember, but now I could keep it as a memory.
If I couldn’t do that, the only one who would suffer would be me.
A bitter smile appeared on my face.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
I didn’t forget to practice the cultivation technique meant to control cold energy.
Shhhhhh—
After having dinner with the raccoon family, I rested inside the warm cave.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
As with everything, getting started is the hardest part.
Once momentum is gained, growth accelerates rapidly.
Although only a short time had passed, all my efforts were beginning to bear fruit.
The tiny mass of cold energy that had barely been the size of a grain of rice in the morning had now grown to the size of a ping-pong ball.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
My objective was to use it whenever I wanted, not simply separate it from mana.
‘But concentrating cold energy isn’t the final goal.’

When I finished practicing, I entered the gallery.
It was only a matter of time.
Even so, the progress wasn’t bad.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Things like how they were already halfway into a civil war and so on.
‘They’re still at it.’
The gallery was still on fire with discussions related to Eldorado.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
‘Besides, they don’t even have a clear leader.’
I didn’t care much.
Unless Ludwig and I ended up meeting and he revealed some explosive truth, that would probably be the end of it.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
And that was precisely the problem.
Well, what did it matter?
If the Hero were there, it would be a different story, but… Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
There was nobody capable of leading a civil war.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
I closed the gallery and prepared to sleep.
‘Just thinking about having to work again tomorrow gives me a headache.’
Wonmo was already fast asleep.
And the Sloth was still staring at the fireplace flames without doing anything else.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
***
I wish an excellent worker would fall from the sky.
Thinking foolish things like that, I slowly closed my eyes.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Just before dawn.
In the distance, the crowing of a rooster could be heard, and most animals began preparing to start their daily activities.
Time passed.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
So all the animals were still in the middle of their preparations.
But someone once said that the early bird catches the worm.
“……”
However, because of the season, the sun had not yet fully risen.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Like a certain animal staring intently at the signboard installed beside the river.
“Grrr.”
While everyone else was preparing, there was already someone taking action.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Among the many languages written on the sign, the one that caught the creature’s attention was the language of the Central Continent.
Then it turned its head and looked toward the place where a column of smoke was rising.
With its deep red eyes, it silently observed the words.
It was the smoke coming from the chimney after the Sloth had been feeding firewood into the fire throughout the entire night.
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
Judging by its appearance and the way it moved with its massive arms supporting its body against the ground, it was clearly a gorilla.
But unlike the other gorillas, its fur was completely white and its eyes were red.
The red-eyed creature slowly began walking toward the source of the smoke.
“……”
Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 151: Slave (1) by Indra Translations.
“Uuuh…!”
The palms of its hands were also a deep crimson color, as though they had been stained with blood.
And it wasn’t only its eyes that were red.
