Chapter 141 Chapter 141 North by Northeast
The team goes all the way north, maybe luck this thing will always be self balance, so the journey suddenly becomes smoother. They didn't encounter lords who wanted to kill the good, nor the powerful thunderstorms of nature, nor the chimeras, nor the rare beasts that rushed out of their lair. There were bears twice, the wheels broke three or four times, and there were a few untrustworthy people who didn't want to pay their debts, but none of that really bothered me.

Since having a good conversation with Rhett, Dagon has put his doubts and sorrows away from his priorities, and has regained his strength and has stepped up his training every day. Even if he is a Spiritual God initiate, becoming a priest is not that simple, especially during the mana accumulation stage. The daily cycle practice is very boring, the sitting and walking positions have been completed, and the next is the standing and lying positions.

You may ask: what's so hard about standing and lying down? At home, it's not difficult to just do these two movements, but Dagon is on the team and he is always moving. The carriage is not smooth, the ground has never been flat, fast and slow, left and right, and the constant bumps can affect or even break the mana cycle.

This reminded him of the time when he was training with his father, when there were boring training programs, such as 5,000 slashes, 5,000 straight stabs and so on. If you focus on each action, study and judge the problem in time and make adjustments, boredom is not a big problem, the main problem is interference.

Tormund is physically disabled and doesn't have enough power to beat Dagon, but he definitely has the power to make trouble for him. Stab him in the leg with a pole, scare him abruptly, pull his weapon, and throw Kuku's hair behind his ears. These disturbances make Dagon miserable, but it is precisely by overcoming these disturbances that Dagon's martial skill can be steadily improved.

Now, the constantly bumpy vehicle has become a new distraction, and Dagon must concentrate attention completely and leave redundancy to constantly respond to sudden changes. He had to stand firm on the advancing car and run his mana steadily. He can't stand dead like a sculpture, it should be like water in a cup, both to fight and to use force, and it can't escape the tolerance range of the mana cycle.

However, it's not smart to simply engage in confrontation. Dagon still tries to take advantage of the team's camping at night to cultivate, and to catch up on sleep during the daytime. After several actions, his wallet was much more bloated than when he left home, and the gain of one Silver Coin each time vigil was no longer as important as training and resting.

In addition to the mana cycle, "earth hearing" is also the focus of training, Dagon put all the excess mana into "earth hearing", and strive to fully master this ability as soon as possible. With the increase of training, the organs activated by Spiritual God gradually became stronger, and now the input of mana no longer feels the tingling feeling before, but less and less, which shows that they have become more and more integrated into the body system.

Training a new sense is not easy, even harder than having to train hearing and touch after being suddenly blinded. Dagon focuses on the ability to distinguish, not just let the "earth hearing" provide "there is something" information, but also what it is.

A fragrant smell of rice wafts. Some people only know that it is eaten, and some people can know what to eat, what spices are put in, and what cooking methods are used. If an invisible enemy launches an attack, not only does he know about it, but also what weapon the attacker uses, what battle skill he adopts, and where his weakness is.

When you focus on one thing, time seems to speed up, and the world wants to escape quickly. The Golden Dog Caravan left the range of Heshan City and entered the East Kingdom through the checkpoint, Dagon didn't even know about it. He did not focus on the "most prosperous country of mankind" outside, but gave nature, mana and elements.

From the beginning of summer to the end of summer, carrying goods repurchased from Dongguo, the Golden Dog Caravan finally came to Padabol, which is the most difficult place on the whole road. The towering mountain range traverses east and west, dividing north and south, and the rushing deep stream always reminds the threat on the road. In this area, every up and down slope and every bridge must be passed carefully, and load-bearing and balance are very critical indicators. Sometimes, in order to reduce the danger, some goods have to be unloaded from the vehicle and carried separately on the backs of people and horses. Frequent loading and unloading of goods and frequent parking inspections will definitely delay a lot of time.

However, this is an alpine environment. Earth Element's terrain is very powerful, which is suitable for Dagon cultivation. When the convoy stopped and the trucks crossed the bridge alone, Dagon would come down and stand against the cliff, running his mana and earth hearing at the same time.

Earth hearing can penetrate rocks, the only loss is detection distance. Since no other senses can see the rock, the earth's hearing must function alone, which is a good opportunity to exercise the "discerning ability". Dagon searched for roots behind rocks, scoured the crevices for dirt and insect, but also stumbled upon a rather old baggage.

The trees standing on the side of the rock were chopped down, the dirt was removed, and the rock below was removed, and a slate was obviously placed artificially. Everyone lifted the slate and found the package that Dagon said. Inside are some gold and silver jewelry and valuables, such as sterling silver candlesticks and gem-set dressing boxes. The things are very valuable, but the wrapping outside is just a burlap bag, which everyone thinks may be stolen goods, not like the previous owner of the item hid it here.

"It's been old, and depending on the degree of rusting of these iron parts, it must have been at least fifteen years." After careful inspection, Maipu said with great certainty: "Although the item is valuable, there is nothing on it. The mark, the standard is also very common, so it is very good to sell. Dagon, this is what you found..."

"Follow the rules of the caravan, I can't sell it myself." Dagon said.

"Okay, I'll record it for you first, and I'll pay dividends when I have a chance to sell it." Maipu looked at the account book and said, "I roughly estimated that there may be five-six hundred Dongguo. gold coin."

"Windfall." Dagon just smiled faintly. He turned around and asked Geros, "What if I want to send the money to my parents?"

"Send it to your adoptive parents in Jiangu City?" After asking clearly, he shook his head and said, "As long as the city of Jiangu is still closed, this matter is very difficult, and it can't be done in a hurry. But we will go back to the vicinity of Jiangu city next year to see what is there. If it is necessary, we can try to send you the money."

"Then do it, don't forget to change to the gold coin of the Jiangu family."

"Maipu, this It's on the account." Geros stopped Dagon, who was about to go back to the cultivation, and said, "Don't worry, I have something to discuss with you."

"You say it."

"According to the experience of previous years, the section of the road at Padaul Fort will take at least a month, and the next stop will be Wolf Eye Castle, a castle jointly managed by elves and humans. It's about two months away from Myniris, and it'll be there in winter. But from Wolf's Eye Castle east, it's quick to reach Canine Fortress, where the dwarves of the north guard against the Barbarian Race of the north."

"I know about the canine fortress. It's just a stone's throw away from the fortress of the orc Barbarian Race. It's a place where small battles take place all day long. The Jiangu people there all live on the ground, which is very different from the Jiangu people in our south. ." After a second thought, Dagon understood Gerros' intention. "Do you want to go to the Dogtooth Fortress?"

"In order to avoid the threat of the savage forest and pass through Mawang Bay quickly, the caravan lost a lot. Go to the Dogtooth Fortress and sell the items in the East Country. , by the way, collect the goods from Canine Tooth Fortress, so that you can make up for the loss when you get to Myniris, and you can make an extra profit, so everyone can spend the winter well." Geros said at the same time: "In addition to this, Canine Tooth The fortress has the best dwarven artisans in the entire north, and is the best choice for chimera skins - of course, if you like elven style, then Myniris is the first choice."

"Just the first One reason should go to Canine Fortress." Dagon said with a smile: "According to the requirements of the clan meeting, I will report this year, it is just autumn, and the time is too late. As long as you don't think I am deliberately delaying, send me a reward That's fine."

"Ha, definitely not." Geros said, "If you do run away, I will only offer a 10gold coin reward, whoever wants to find it! If that person finds it You must be very short of money, so you will send him 10gold coins."

"I don't have that spare money." Dagon knew that Geros was joking, and after laughing, he continued to cultivated.

After passing through twenty bridges and over thirty peaks, within the valley was suddenly filled with the sound of ding ding dong dong. People shouted within the valley, the winches rattled into pieces, and the rocks and mud fell with a roar. Dagon was curious when he heard the movement outside. He opened the carriage and looked out. He was seeing the construction team of Padaul Fort working on the mountain not far away.

The construction team of 5,000 people is rarely seen. It can almost be described as covering the mountains and plains, and this is just a construction site. Gerros said that Padabol has always had the desire to build roads in all directions. They continued to dig on the mountain, hoping to build a road that would allow the carriage to pass in both directions. The road must not have too steep ups and downs, and all bridges passing through must be hard-supported bridges, not swaying suspension bridges. It took them ten years to choose the route, and the whole project is estimated to take sixty years.

"It's not enough time for a human generation to go in, and the project is too hard and too dangerous. Fortunately, Jiangu clansman has been very helpful, and the masons, blacksmiths and architects at the canine fortress I have been here for a long time, and I have been guiding and working at the same time, so that the human beings in Padapa can see the hope of completion." Geros said: "Unfortunately, I don't think I can wait for the day when it is completed..."

Dagon put his hands on his hips and stroked his beard with the other. He looked at the project from a distance, and felt that he couldn't see enough, and secondly, that it was not what it was like at the beginning, so he asked, "How long will it take to complete?"

"Twenty-five years. "Jeros said with a smile: "I'm not saying I'll die in twenty-five years, but I've saved enough money at that time to quit this business. Find a place with no monsters in verdant hills and limpid water, It would be great to plough the fields and eat by yourself, with children running around by your side."

"You can solve the child part first." Dagon has been with the team for so long, and he has long learned how to do it. Tell jokes the human way. "Does Tess know your ambitions?"

"Ha! If she doesn't, no one knows." Geros squinted at Dagon and said, "I see how you feel today. It's very good, even the posture and imposing manner are different. What's wrong? Seeing such a project, the Jiangu people's hands are itchy?"

"Of course I feel good knowing that the Jiangu people can build new things. It will be fine. Gerros, who designed the whole project?"

"It seems to be an elf, I forgot what its name is, but I can be sure that it has something to do with Myniris."

Dagon no longer akimbo, but wiped his hands on the outside of his thighs, sighed, and went back to the car for cultivation.
