Chapter 169 Chapter 169 Funny
When you focus, you often feel that time flies by quickly. It is said that the elves rely on constant focus on one thing to make themselves better through the long lifespan. This claim has never been proven, and it sounds more like other short lifespan races choreographing elves, so no one takes it seriously.

However, the training of the No. 15 mine group has been going on for more than two months, and everyone really doesn't feel much about the ebbing of time. Everyone felt -- and the only thing they cared about -- their martial skills had improved significantly. And Dagon knows that the most important thing for the students to improve is their confidence and fighting spirit, which can always play an important role in battle as much as the martial skill.

The arrangement of the martial skill exam has been decided, and it is still the routine of previous years. The whole class takes the test together, draws lots for a single round robin, and then freely forms a team for a melee with the goal of capturing the flag. Single-vs-one winners have 3 points, losers have 0 points, and draws have 1 point each; when a team captures the flag, each last "alive" person in the winner group has 5 points, "dead" has 2 points, and the loser has 2 points. "Survivor" in the survivor group can also get 1 point. Depending on the difficulty of the terrain, points will also be awarded each time a flagged stronghold is captured.

"It's imitating the situation in the Infinite Labyrinth." Mann said to Dagon: "Although I don't like elves, but their setting is very interesting, especially the capture of the flag battle to occupy the stronghold, We often face this kind of battle in the Infinite Labyrinth."

Dagon asked: "There are also strongholds in the Infinite Labyrinth that need to be tug-of-war?"

"en!" Nominate. He looked around and didn't continue talking about the infinite labyrinth, but said, "Dagon, those guys in the martial skill class rented so many sets of fortress armor, is this related to you?"

Although there is an exam tomorrow, a promise is a promise, and you can't leak the secret even a minute earlier, let alone a day. Dagon tugged at his beard and changed the subject bluntly - was he acting like a tacit consent?
"I want to hear about the Infinite Labyrinth Battlefield."

"Slick!" Seeing that Dagon didn't say anything, Mann stopped asking. "Dagon, the mask you designed is very good, you should wear it often. Your expression control is so bad, I can see everything written on your face."

"Marne Uncle, Infinite Labyrinth!"

"Okay, stubborn guy, just like your father." Mann didn't say which Dagon's father was, but it didn't matter. "The Infinite Labyrinth is located in the basement of the Demon City, between the surface world and the lava layer. The environment there is special, and the biggest feature is the lack of natural terrain. Earth Element is okay to say, it is underground after all; Fire Element is also okay, lava layer. It's not too far away. But the other three natural elements are relatively scarce, which makes the sorcerer very uncomfortable, and also affects the work of the spell and rune."

"Our ancestors of the Jiangu family thought of it. There is a way to let the maze slowly accumulate the power of natural elements and create element enrichment areas in different areas. It can strengthen the effect of spell, improve the durability of sorcerer, and sometimes provide some special effects, so such a place It must be contested and occupied. The elves' capture-the-flag assessment mode is simulating this scenario. You see, I didn't capture the flag, but surviving has some points - this is what elves often do."

"That's it!" Dagon said, "My father rarely told me about the Infinite Labyrinth, he said I was too young to know, or that I could learn what I should learn at the elite Academy - now I understand how It's up."

"Ai, Tormund won't tell you it's not because you can always learn, but because he always thinks he's failed in the Infinite Labyrinth. After sending him back to the back At the time, he already had some wrong ideas, such as being injured and losing the combat capability is an irreversible failure of the weapon master; leaving the team that is still fighting on the dangerous frontline and trusting him, and returning to his hometown by himself, this is also a huge failure." Mann squeezed the bridge of his nose and said, "We can't persuade him, we can't change his mind. When he hears the news of Lord Iger's death, he must count it as his own failure. Alas, I can't even imagine that he would How uncomfortable..."

Mentioning Tormund made Dagon feel homesick again. Two days ago, he received a letter from Gerlos from the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce. The letter criticized Dagon's behavior of "leaving without a word", claiming that it caused a lot of trouble for the caravan, and he would be looking for him in the future. settle accounts. On the other hand, the caravan had already been replenished, and before Dongxue had to leave the north. By the time the letter arrived, the caravan had already set off, and Gerlos told Dagon to stop begging for a fight.

Following the caravan was the money that Dagon sent home. Dividends on the road, especially the processing of materials on Chimera, are quite a lot of money. Being able to send money back will give Dagon some comfort, but it's nowhere near enough to resolve his nostalgia. People always say that Jiangu clansman spent his whole life thinking about the pothole he was born in, and there is some truth to that.

"Hey...it seems that I was wrong, I shouldn't have mentioned the matter over there." Mann tapped Dagon's forehead with his fist and said kindly: "Dagon, would you like to call me Uncle, my house is yours, so you should come here to visit relatives. By the way, I have good news to tell you."

"en? Uncle, what good news?"

"I told you more than two months ago that Chihoro Dongdong didn't have time to see you, but he has changed his mind now." Mann shook his head, both excited and proud of Dagon. He treats him like his own child. "Hey, don't thank me, it's not my credit. The whole thing is about the mask you're working on."

"Arrow mask? That's my father Tormund's idea."

p>

"Didn't you say Tormund has no other children? Then your adoptive father's is not yours, what's the difference? If I ask Tormund, I'll say: old iron..."

Dagon was stunned for a moment, then asked anxiously: "Why Lao Tie?"

"His surname is Steelcast, we nickname him Lao Tie. But don't talk to him Saying that I yelled that in front of you, I was afraid he would beat me fiercely." Man waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt me. This time is really not Tormund's idea, but yours."

"Professor Dongdong is not interested in the mask's anti-arrow function. Their dwarfs are small in size and lack strength, especially the neck muscles cannot wear such a heavy mask for a long time. Impact , with or without a mask doesn't really make a difference. He's concerned about that funny smiley face, which is why I went to him."

Marne brought Dagon a light beer, himself He also picked up a cup to moisten his throat, and then said: "At first he didn't pay attention to it. After I finished testing the optimal inclination angle and thickness of the visor, and made it according to the portrait he gave, he did it two days ago. He suddenly asked me to go over with a finished product. No, he asked me to come over again this morning, and asked me to bring a muscle-relaxing ointment."

"Huh? It takes too long to wear a mask. Tired neck?"

"The mask was too big for him, and it would either poke his chest or his eyes could only see through the nostrils. His neck was fine, it was his chin that hurt. He laughed. Got a cramp."

"pu hahaha, oh oh sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at the professor. But...haha, not so much. I looked at the mask, it was funny, but the cramp was a bit too much Exaggerated."

What does an arrow mask look like? Everyone knows that the eyes of the mask are two small holes, and Professor Dongdong designed a big eye socket for it. The raised eyebrows and the wide-open mouth have an exaggerated longitudinal extension. It was originally just a wild laughter with a big mouth open. There are three points of arrogance, three points of loneliness, three points of self-deprecation, and one point of invincible loneliness. It is indeed funny, but it has not reached the extreme.

The ultimate is the dynamic effect. After seeing the samples drawn by Professor Dongdong, Dagon had a new idea: add a movable chin to the visor. In fact, it is an arrow shield, which is designed on some Jiangu helmets, mainly to provide additional protection for the beard that Jiangu clansman values. In some designs, it can also replace part of the neck protector and become an extension of the helmet to the breastplate.

The arrow-proof visor has a certain thickness, and there is room to open a small chute on it and install an arrow shield. The arrow shield shows the lower part of the mouth, which is the double chin, lower lip, and semi-circular tongue. When the helmet is in motion, the arrow guards can move up and down along the chute, making a funny hahahaha smile.

"Dwarfs like to joke and prank, and Professor Dongdong may be more sensitive than ordinary dwarfs in this regard. So, he was too embarrassed to laugh at the effect of the mask, so he accidentally dislocated his chin. He can't Ann, holding my chin, I hurried to the priest for treatment, but my muscles still hurt." Marne said, "When he came back, he called me and asked me to introduce you to him."

"I Can you learn from him?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Mann nodded, said: "He thought about it carefully and thought that your idea is actually very creative, and the effect is also good. Very good, both practicality and artistry..."

Artistic? Dagon tugged at his beard, thinking of another word: funny.

"Professor Dongdong doesn't like brainless guys - here he mainly refers to our Jiangu clansman." "He said that the Illusion Technique requires a flexible mind, creativity, and thinking from perspectives that other people don't expect. He thinks you have this potential, so he wants to see you. If you're really good, he's willing to teach you. Anyway, he has teaching tasks every year, and if he has to fill up a few students, he is willing to give you the places."

"Wow, that's very good. As long as he teaches seriously, I will definitely learn hard!"

"Well, it should be. But let's wait until the end of the school year to complete the exam. Now every tutor can't find time." Man asked: "When is the martial skill test for those Jiangu students? , will you go to see it?"

"It will start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, it is estimated that it will take a whole day. I will go, after all, I have to see the results."

"That's okay, I'll go with you."
