Chapter 140 Chapter 140 God's opponent
The elves learned to make runes, and the elves learned to use city defenses Heavy crossbow, the elves also invented the elves card, so what are the Jiangu people doing?
After negotiation, the Golden Dog Caravan got the lord's permission to enter Heshan City, and then stayed here for five days before leaving. During these five days, the Golden Dog Caravan must provide sufficient transactions and services, so that the residents of Heshan City can soothe their emotions and increase their confidence before the war. This was a bit difficult at first, but the bard Nassim Bond accepted the invitation of the Golden Dog Caravan, counting himself as a service provided by the caravan, and the problem was solved.

It takes seven days in total to enter the city, stay and leave. Dagon goes to the city wall every day to see the mixed army of elves, and not a day is left. He carefully watched the elves, half-elves and humans cooperate with each other, saw the strict and orderly rotation on duty, and saw the elf ranger swinging his arms at him from the heavy crossbow operating position, probably saying "Don't look, Goodbye" sort of thing.

The genie didn't stop him from staying there all day watching, or hiding the fact that he had been found. But the more generous the elves are, the more uncomfortable Dagon's heart is, as if the Jiangu tribe's proud burst of city defense heavy crossbow is not much mysterious, and it is not important.

On the fifth day of the "Punishment Station", Heshan City welcomed the first batch of savage monsters who attacked. Those were thirty flying apes, in short, gorillas with huge black wings behind them. They live in savage forests as tribes, gathering half of their food and killing the other half. This group of flying apes had apparently attacked human villages, and perhaps the army as well. Some of the flying apes had injuries on their bodies, and all of them had human weapons in their hands.

Because of their thick and heavy bodies, they don't fly very fast, but they have a huge impact. When Hibiki pounces on his opponent from the air, his power is almost equal to that of a charging Knight. Going into hand-to-hand combat with such monsters is quite a disadvantage, and it is safest to let the archer shoot from a distance. However, this group of flying monkeys chose the wrong direction and gliding from the air approached the defense area in charge of the elves.

Dagon saw with his own eyes that the elves skillfully manipulated the city defense heavy crossbow to shoot in the air, killing the flying monkeys one by one. The elves not only mastered the assembly, maintenance, debugging and use, but also designed stronghold tactics around the city defense heavy crossbow, giving full play to the power of the heavy crossbow without waste. Elf Race's rangers and warriors cooperate fully. A crossbow has five people to cooperate, not to mention observation, command, and operation, as well as a special knife, which seems to be better than the Jiangu's tactics.

The victory of the elves is the victory of Heshan City, but not the victory of the Jiangu tribe. Dagon took a careful look and found that Jiangu clansman in Heshan City has three main occupations: farmer, craftsman and beggar. Not to mention the city guards, Jiangu clansman is basically invisible even among the mercenaries. The Jiangu people don't have much presence in Heshan City. Their status here, like Dagon watching under the city wall, is not important, so no one cares.

The arrival of the flying monkey means that the ground army of the wild forest will not be too far away, and wild beasts have begun to appear in groups around the city. It is said that the cavalry of Heshan City has been out cleaning the small groups of monsters, and then using their corpses as bait to hunt down the larger, dumber monsters. Perhaps the half-elf Kunrui was among the cavalry, but Dagon didn't care. He was sitting in the caravan carriage that quickly drove away from Heshan City from the north gate, showing a look of lingering soul.

In order to get out of this dangerous area as soon as possible, the people in the convoy kept working day and night, and they didn't care about Dagon at all. Thanks to the sale of most of the inventory in Heshan City, the team was able to travel lightly and successfully avoided the threat of the wild forest.

Dagon was in a better mood after five days in a row before the team could finally stop and take a break. During this time, Dagon has been working hard to accumulate mana, and whenever he has time, he will go to the Soul Spirit middle realm. He wanted to ask Rhett, and also the gods of the Jiangu tribe, do they know what happened on the world?
"Of course I do." Rhett's expression looked like he had written the words "as it should" on his face. "The decline of the Jiangu people is an indisputable fact, but you have been living in a state of closure, and all you hear are the stories of the Jiangu people and how prosperous and glorious the city of Jiangu was. The Jiangu people have indeed prospered and prosperous in the past, but these Years have been declining, other places have felt it, and you have been living in a dream."

Dagon felt incredible: "I thought life would be better in Jiangu City when the lockdown was lifted, my Parents can also be happier than before."

"You don't have to worry about it, it will definitely be better after the lockdown is lifted, I'm talking about the situation of the entire race." Reid shrugged and said: "After seeing When you got the elf card, you felt that the technology of the Jiangu clan had been stagnant for a long time, and then you vaguely had the feeling of today. Today, you see not only the technology, but the people of the Jiangu clan seem to be excluded from the world. Outside, so the discomfort deepens, right?"

Dagon thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, but how did Rhett know?
"I live between your Soul World and Spirit World. I can't guess your thoughts, but your emotional changes can happen right in front of me." Reid pointed to the surrounding fire ring and said: " Look at these flames and your mood is perfectly clear written on them."

Dagon stared at the flames for a long time, thinking about sad or happy things, trying to make them change, but after a while , he came to the conclusion: "I can't see it."

"You have to watch it for more than sixty years." Reid shook his head slightly and said: "Dagon, you are even more sad that Jiangu clansman is not valued. , or are you more worried that Jiangu clansman has no future?"

A simple choice of two, plus three hidden options of none, both, and don't know, but it's all in one hand. Dagon opened his mouth, stuck at the question. He raised a finger, motioning for Rhett to wait a moment, then, with one hand clutching his beard and resting on his chin, started pacing around his own Soul Spirit middle.

The surrounding wall of fire flickered, like Dagon's mood. These flames can only reflect emotion when Dagon is not paying attention, otherwise it's just an "I'm keeping an eye out" message. Rhett, motionless, didn't say a word, for fear of disturbing Dagon's thinking. But he kept his eyes fixed on the wall of emotion, waiting eagerly for the moment Dagon really wanted to understand.

Dagon stopped after at least three hundred laps. When he came to Rhett, the wall of fire stopped moving for a moment, as solid as a rock.

"I'm not answering that question, but asking one: What should I do?"

Reid pointed to the top of his head and asked with a slanted mouth: "You don't ask Spiritual God?"

"They've been there." Dagon said, "If I do it right, there will be rewards, so the key is that I do it right."

"It's only These?" Reid clenched his fists and encouraged: "Dagon, you have other thoughts, I can feel them. Say it, say it honestly."

"If God Oli has something Arrange, drop the Oracle, and let the priest of the temple execute it. I'm thinking, the Jiangu clan shouldn't decline, unless the Spiritual God doesn't know what to do."

The wall of fire swayed, and there was dullness from above. But there was a faint sound, as if someone shouted loudly from a long distance away. Rhett shook his head: "You are brave, but what you said is wrong. Spiritual God knows what to do, that is man-made. You think about it fairly and justly, if God Auli issues an Oracle, the priest of the temple will How to do it?"

Dagon frowned, then shook his head: "I don't understand. I have to enter the temple to attend priest study before I can access those materials."

"Yes, I Forget about it." Rhett patted his forehead and said, "Well, leave this question to yourself. You should first figure out what decline is, what is development, and what are they caused by. Only know these , you might know how to do it."

"So you don't know either?"

"Just kidding, of course I do. Dagon, think about it, think about it Why am I trapped here!" Reid's voice was loud and his shoulders were shaking violently, but he was not particularly angry, but was still laughing wildly: "hehe haha, I know too much, and the Spiritual God of the Jiangu tribe is also afraid I went out and fucked. They enlightened you and used you as a buffer between me and the outside world. The knowledge in my head can kill all the gods, are you believing or not?"

"Even if you have a chance, please don't do it. God Oli is very good to the Jiangu clan, and every Jiangu clansman has been blessed by him. If it is an evil god, or those underground monsters, if you have a way to destroy them Just do it. The Spiritual God of the Jiangu clan is kind..."

"I know they are kind, but kindness cannot stop the decline of the Jiangu clan. Or more accurately, kindness does not It will revive the Jiangu people. If kindness prevents the Jiangu people from standing up and becoming stronger, what will you do with kindness?"

"When kindness becomes a hindrance, then the path under my feet must be wrong. Dagon said very firmly: "I believe that what is good for the Jiangu clan will definitely not be evil, whether in name or in reality. Rhett, I think you are wrong in some places, you seem to The Jiangu gods are regarded as enemies... No, it is not necessary to separate life and death. It feels like two sides of the battle, you and the Jiangu gods are opponents and want to decide the winner."

Rui De laughed, but there was no laughter. "If I could go out, I would have to live and die. But here, I have lost. First to your soul, second to Spiritual Gods. I don't hate you because Is it your body, your life, or I disturb you. But lost to Spiritual God? absolutely thunder. Reid beat his chest, waved his fists to the sky, and shouted loudly: "What, what do you want to say? You also know that the Jiangu clan is not good, but you have no way, only I have it! Only me! The solution is very simple: get rid of Your lives, the Jiangu clan will be saved!"

Dagon shook his head, thinking that Rhett was wrong. He looked towards the sky, he couldn't see it clearly, the God of Oli didn't know how far away he was located; look at Rhett, state seems crazy, but he wasn't crazy, just venting. Dagon looked under his feet, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the layers of stairs he had climbed were still under the transparent ground.

"Ryder, I have to know the past to understand the present. If I understand the present, I may be able to peek into the future. I think you are right, and the gods of the Jiangu tribe are also right." Dagon scratched He scratched his head and said, "I've made up my mind. Whether it's to better study history, understand the past, or better contribute my strength in the future, I decided to enter the temple system to study and become a priest."

"Haha, are you going to babble?"

"No." Dagon shook his head. He pointed to the sky and said, "I don't need to look up, unlike other pastors, because I know Spiritual God has enlightened me and has been watching me. What I do is look down and then look around. . I want to understand that problem, turn it into the steps below, and go up one layer at a time. At that time, I should be able to face you and discuss the problem with you, not just listen to you.”
