Chapter 142 Chapter 142 The North
What is the general impression of the Jiangu people?
Tenacious, craftsman, warrior, stubbornness, bearded, these five traits can always be ranked in the top five, at most swap the order with each other. Jiangu clansman in the south live mainly underground, while Jiangu clansman in the north live above ground, so miners and subterranean creatures are not yet a common feature. But Dagon along the way, I feel that the Jiangu family's characteristics are basically only the bearded old and stubborn.

Speaking of tenacious, what race isn't tenacious in its own way? Everyone is facing the threat of underground monsters, everyone who died in the infinite labyrinth, everyone who knew that their predecessors died and still fought without hesitation, which one of them did not show tenacious?
Jiangu craftsmen were famous in the past, but now they are only "famous" in everyone's habit. Frequent merchants and elderly people will also say that "Jiangu craftsmen are the best", but they also have to admit that "it's not much better now". Other races have caught up, or to be more precise, the overall level of craftsmen has improved, but the level of the Jiangu has not changed. And as the elves will also manufacture heavy crossbows and runes, the good days of Jiangu craftsmen are coming to an end.

As for warrior, Jiangu clansman is not afraid of fighting, many arms and martial skills are very distinctive, but it is never first under the heavens. The current first under the heavens is not which kind of troops of which race, but the Elf card. The monster produced by mana summon has surpassed the "warrior" of the past, whether it is battle strength, logistical pressure and the durability of repeated use. Anyway, as long as the elf card itself is not damaged and the user still has enough mana, then the elf card can activate five summons everyday all, which is equivalent to carrying an escort with you, or even a small team. Isn’t this more fragrant than any warrior? ?
There is nothing that must be done by the Jiangu people, is it different to look for humans or elves?

Dagon didn't actually hear the words, but he could feel them as if they were in the hearts of everyone he met, more or less deep or shallow. This is no longer the era of "Jiangu people built infinite labyrinths and are the heroes who save the world", those are too long ago, and even the longest elves in lifespan will not remember. Although everyone in the world knows that the Jiangu tribe built the infinite labyrinth to block the attack of the underground monsters, it has become almost the same as "the Jiangu tribe built an arrow tower" - its historical significance and value have faded.

What happened to the Jiangu family?

Dagon came to Canine Fortress, a famous northern Jiangu city with such questions. There are almost 2.5 million Jiangu clansman living here, distributed in a vast area named front line city wall, second line tower, third line, fourth line library, infinite city and six star town. The dog-tooth fortress was built on a plain area about thirty miles wide between the two mountain ranges. Since the mountains are mostly sheer cliffs and precipitous rock faces that are difficult to pass, this plain area has become the necessary place for the northern Barbarian Race to go south.

Although the Barbarian Race can be divided into small groups and sneaked in from other places, how should the spills of war be transported back after a loot? Mountainous areas can't bear large-scale logistics at all. If there were such places, they would have been blocked by various bunkers, checkpoints, and fortresses. What was once the biggest and best gap is now the canine fortress, where the Jiangu people migrated from the south to the north, building here, guarding here, and living here.

It still looks like a "typical" Jiangu city, except that there are no caves and tunnels one after another. The convoy passed through "Six Star Town", which gave Dagon the feeling of the First Layer market in Jiangu City. Relatively sparse buildings, Jiangu clansman roaming the humble and wide streets, and old cows watching the caravan with wide eyes. Oh, Lao Niu is indeed not the style of Jiangu City, but those big eyes made Dagon think of bear lizards, especially Kuku at home.

He's a little homesick.

Take a deep breath, rub your eyes with the heels of your palms, and make yourself smile. Homesickness is lovely rather than shameful, no need to escape but no need to indulge. Jiangu City is still under lockdown, right? Now is the time to go back, even if there is no bounty to find him, Dagon will not be able to enter the city. If you miss, you will miss, but you just need to be clear that missing will not change anything, whether it is changing yourself or changing reality.

He calmed down a bit, tidied up his clothes to look refreshed, and jumped out of the car. Jiangu clansman around sees him, and his eyes will always stay on the gold beard ring for a moment. Some old people will wave to him, or raise their pipes and wine glasses. Dagon nods slightly, in return.

"They're saying hello to you, why?" the troubadour Nassim Bond came up from behind on a donkey. Since there is no donkey stirrup, this thing, his legs have nowhere to rest, and can only be swayed and swayed like two wooden sticks. Dagon turned slightly to avoid being kicked innocently by him.

"Only Neal's beard rings can be made of adamantine gold, I have few rings, and this one is very new and easier to identify. They know that I have traveled a long way from the south, Let's be more enthusiastic."

"As far as I know, the dwarves here don't miss life in the south, so they like you definitely not because of where you come from." Nasim plucked the strings lightly, said with a faint smile: "You don't have a beard for marriage, but you are strong and beautiful. They want to introduce you to girls from the Jiangu tribe?"

"Have you ever had a relationship with the Jiangu tribe... "

"No!" Nasim denied immediately, not at all sloppy. "I found that Jiangu girls still like you, powerful, trustworthy, and able to hack monsters and make money. Like me, they say I'm too glib tongue, oily, powdery, and idle. Besides, I don't want to go to Jiangu The hate ledger of the tribe."

"You know the hatred ledger?" Dagon wondered. "My mother said that even the Jiangu tribe rarely mentions such an ancient tradition of the hate ledger, and she doesn't even think there is any place outside Jiangu that still keeps hatred on the ledger."

" I have collected stories of the Jiangu tribe and used them to create poems, have you forgotten?" Nasim's upper body was swaying on the back of the donkey, which was a habitual movement when he was very proud. "Dagon, the poem I wrote about the battle of Chimera has been written, do you want to listen to it?"

"I don't want to." Dagon waved his hand quickly, also not at all sloppy. "If there was me in the song, I would be ashamed; if it wasn't for me, I would probably beat you up. With all that said, forget it."

"I wanted you to go first. Try it out, it seems like it's gone. I'll leave the beard here for the first time. Oh~~ everyone has a beard, but none of them have a beard like mine!"

" In the Jiangu tribe, it is often a criminal who chooses to dress up like your beard." Dagon patted the back of a donkey and said, "Nasim, do you know where the biggest Aura temple is here?"

"Then you're asking the right person. It's in the Three-Line District. It's a large building with a golden hammer on its head. There's a dial on top of the hammer, and the Metal Element flame burns day and night every day, and the time is expressed in numbers." Naxi Mu pinched his beard and looked thoughtful: "I've always wanted to know what the inside of the clock tower looks like, but unfortunately only the Jiangu people are allowed to enter there."

"So where is the armor market here?"

"Ha! You'd better ask Gerlos, I can't say well, after all, armor and swords are not my specialty. My weapons are my strings, and my armor is graceful and beautiful."

"Then what is your Invisibility Technique?"

"That's my unfathomable temperament~~~" Nassim let go of his throat, and the aria's tone gradually rose, turning at the peak A few laps, and then glide down in one breath, landing firmly and lightly on the ground. Someone in the caravan applauded, and Dagon gave three clappings, but Jiangu clansman on the side of the road just rolled his eyes.

"This is the bad thing about the Jiangu clan: only when you go to the tavern, accompanied by foam and greasy applause, will you not hesitate to applaud." Nasim then said: "But to be honest, if you want to buy or sell things, you should go through Caravans are better, they can get you the right price and good quality goods. The dwarves here in Canine Fortress may be too close to the Barbarian in the north and have learned some tricks. Look at me, I'm on the way They all buy and sell things with Maipu, which can prevent them from being cheated."

"I am also Jiangu clansman." Dagon's implication is that the Jiangu family will not cheat Jiangu clansman.

"I won't have the confidence you have, and I advise you not to have such simple ideas." Nassim shook his head, put on an unfathomable smile, and said, "Dagon, I know a man who Do you want to hear your related secrets?"

"The key is whether you want to tell me." Dagon looked at him, then smiled: "Well, I won't tell you if you know it's not good for you. If we go into the same tavern, I'll always buy you a glass of wine, how about that?"

"Okay, the Jiangu's promise is the hardest thing in the world." Nassim shook his head, attracting the donkey Dissatisfied cry. He stroked the donkey's head to appease him, and then said, "Geros is not in the convoy now. He ran away as soon as he entered Wolf's Eye Castle. That was about a week ago."

"This is me. I didn't notice that recently, the cultivation has achieved some results and has been busy consolidating. So now is Maipu commanding the team?"

"Well, it is indeed him. But Maipu has nothing to do with you, Gerlos left early. Caravan, with Toby and Rusiga. By the way, haven't you noticed that the meals in the past week have not been the same?"

"More hard bread and cured meat, less soup and porridge. I ate it all in the carriage, so I didn't pay attention."

"Hehe, you've almost become a hermit lately, but you're still very young." Nasim walked around for a while, but finally Circle back to Dagon. "Geros and the others also took two cars, one with the remains of a Chimera. Now you understand what this has to do with you?"

"The leather It’s hard to deal with, probably because I’m afraid of delaying my time to go to Myris, so I’ll go first. But if you say it’s related to me, it’s not that simple.” Dagon’s face gradually opened with a smile, he said: “ Wouldn't they make a chimera cloak for me?"

"I think that's the only reason." Nassim said, "Toby won't let me reveal it in advance, but now he has entered the canine fortress, can't be considered in advance. It's just that when you see them, it's better to be completely ignorant. The more surprised the better. By the way, how much do you think that chimera skin is worth? I count Also participated in battles and contributed to the invisible battlefield?"

"I think songs are your dividends. You must know that gold coins come and go quickly, and classic works of art will last forever."

"You said it to my heart." Nassim took out the shamisen, and was ready to sing. "This famous quote is worth a song."

"You told me this one at a vigil. You are so narcissistic."

Pluck the Strings The hand stopped abruptly.
