Chapter 177 Chapter 177 For the sake of appearance

Jiangu students came out, wearing fortress A, with a heavy arrow-proof mask on his face. It can be seen that their shoulders have been shaking, so the chin of the arrow-proof mask is also constantly sliding, always making a funny expression.

Actually, the Jiangu students were just laughing. They had to use arrow-proof masks to block their expressions. Especially look at the guy with no armor and no helmet, he had to cover his mouth and nose with someone else's cloak to hide his expression. But the curved eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, which are wrinkled with laughter, have been completely exposed, okay?

The best thing is not to pass the exam, but to know that you have passed before you leave the exam room. This self-confidence recovery and improvement is far more important and more celebrated than the test scores themselves. Dagon stepped forward, and before he could begin to greet him, everyone had already flashed their elbows, rushing to collide with him.

"You're still wearing fortress armor! Calm down!" Dagon raised his arms, taking turns. Of course, he is also wearing armor, and it doesn't actually hurt, even if it hurts, he is happy. "Okay, it's really exciting! It's just that I came out late, and I didn't see the expressions of other students."

"Don't look at it, we just need to think about it." Hamedom said with a smile: "Dagon, let me introduce to you, this is Toban Dadasi, a classmate of the martial skill course. This time we got his help, especially relying on his on-the-spot command, we won the victory very easily. Toban, this is Dagon Neil."

"The patriarch of Neil's family is prosperous, and when I see you today, Dagon is really a talent."

"They are all wearing masks. , where do you see talent?" Dagon took off his mask and raised his elbows with a smile.

Toban also smiled and took off his mask, his arms collided hard. This time Dagon took a big advantage, and Torban didn't wear armor. But Tuoban didn't care. At this happy time, even if his arm was dislocated, it was a sign of intimacy.

"Dagon, let's put on a mask, so that the elves don't feel happy when they see it. Although I don't care if their mood is good or bad, some elves just can't see the dwarves being happy, and may come over for no reason."

Dagon put on a mask, nodded hard, and said: "Yes, pay attention to the image, don't let them spoil our celebration. Do you have exams next?"

Too Ben nodded, but he said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow, today is gone. My stomach has collapsed after a busy day, and Hammerdom promised me to keep me full."

"Today I can only take care of my stomach, but I don’t dare to drink too much. There are still exams and credits to get.” Dagon said: “If you really want to take care of your fullness, then let Hammerdom solve it after the exam is completed. Let’s go first today. Dinner. I ordered a roasted deer in the school cafeteria, and it just came out when we got there. The halflings said it would take a whole three hours, and they took a lot of work."

"You can get it. Roasted deer? Usually only elves can command halflings to do that."

"Ah? Is there such a thing? No wonder the halfling secretly let me keep the pastry thing a secret, it turned out to be an exchange Ah!" Dagon shrugged and said, "Okay, I agreed anyway. You keep me a secret, don't tell me about the halfling cake, so we can all have roasted deer in the future. It's said to be delicious, I I haven't eaten it yet."

"Neither I nor neither of us." Hammerdom raised his hand and slapped it on the mask with a thud. In fact, many people made a "boom", they all wanted to wipe their saliva, and they forgot about covering their mouths for a while.

Halflings are widely regarded as the best cooks, just as Jiangu clansman is widely regarded as the best miners and blacksmiths. These all are inherent impressions. In fact, whether they are good or not depends on each person's training and talent. Halflings can only say they have a long tradition of "farming well and cooking well", they love what grows in the fields, and they love to satisfy their tongues and stomachs.

It's just that the deer prey isn't on the halfling's traditional recipes. It is generally believed that the largest prey a halfling can catch in the wild is a turkey. Halfling cooking a moose like a human cooks an elephant is ridiculous in itself. Therefore, the taste of this deer can only be regarded as average, and it does not feel as good as the boiled meat of cave fishing crabs to Dagon.

The cooking skills are not good, but the joy of victory brings unparalleled seasoning ability to the food. The Jiangu students tore the venison with joy, laughed and quarreled with each other, and bragged while eating. Here, the deer leg bone can be used as a stick to practice offense, and the deer rib can be used as a shield to act as a defense. When someone failed to grab the weapon, they sang. Those with good voices can be applauded, and those who sing out of tune are beaten on the head with deer bones, or have a chunk of meat stuffed into their mouths to shut them up.

"Only elves can hunt deer in the living forest, and maybe half-elves can too. After all, this deer is for us by elves." Hammerdom's mouth was full of oil, and he could hardly speak. . This is not because of too much oil, but because of too much chewing and tired face.

"It's not the service of the elves, it's my treat, you pay." Dagon lifted his beard, and Starhelm stuck his head out. It still has a piece of meat in its mouth, because it is too big to swallow, it just cuts it down and eats it like a caterpillar gnawing on a leaf. "Come on, Starhelm, thank you Hammerdom."

Starhelm hesitated, twisted for a moment, and finally let go of one of the meat's claw and shook it towards Hammerdom. It's trying so hard to stick a finger up, even if it's a thumbs up? It's a pity that the different structure of the palm makes it give up quickly, and it is more happy to hold the meat.

"You're a strange creature to have such a small bear lizard." Toban came over with the deer head, squeezed a gap beside Dagon and sat down. He slammed the deer's head on the table, and said, "The dwarves in the canine fortress have no bear lizards!"

"Then you will be in a position when you are fighting the northern Barbarian Race. Disadvantage?"

"We have a city wall and a fortress, and a heavy crossbow for city defense." Toban rubbed his hand on the red beard to make it shine. "Dagon, if you were the lord of Canine Keep, how would you arrange the battle with those Barbarians?"

"If I were the lord there, then I would know what to do." Dagon shook his head , said: "You asked a question I obviously don't know the answer to, but I don't think that's what you really meant to ask."

"Well, it's not that, but the question just made me know. Got the answer." Toban said: "Actually, what I want to ask is what are you going to do next year? The elves will definitely find a way to break this tactic of heavy armor. By the way, let me test you: If you are an elves, How to solve it?"

"There are many non-lethal weapons, and not using spell does not mean that it cannot cause elemental effects. Since Elf Archery is so accurate, how about using oil bottle arrows and incendiary arrows? Martial skill assessment If you can't use spell, how do you put out a fire in heavy armor?" Dagon said: "There are many ways to bow and arrow, and the anti-arrow mask may not be able to prevent the mucus from sticking to the face, and it will be judged as a failure if you lose your sight completely."

"I've thought about all of this, you go on, I want to try how many ways you can come up with."

"Are you testing me?" Dagon smiled and said, "That just now The two methods are free, and the latter can't be said in vain."

"I'll invite you to eat deer head. I saw that the brain is still there, and it's just right for you. In Canine Fortress, deer head and deer brain All are given to the smartest dwarves, half of them are wise men or weapon masters in the clan."

"It's Jiangu clansman, not a dwarf."

"You are from Jiangu City, You're right."

Dagon stroked his beard and didn't dwell on the subject. He looked at the deer's head, regardless of its surface appearance, but penetrated below with the earth's hearing and found out its skull structure. Then, he clasped the bone with his fingers, and with a forceful pull, he lifted the skull up.

"I'll take one bite if I say something, and you'll see if I can finish it." Dagon grabbed a handful with his hand, put it to his mouth, and said, "Adhesive throwing or shooting weapons, For example, using the stumbling bag will make the heavily armored Jiangu clansman basically lose his mobility."

"Eat." Toban nodded.

Dagon took a bite, and the taste was average, far inferior to venison. He grabbed another hand and said, "Competitions are patient and exhausting, such as eating, drinking and resting in front of the Jiangu students. If they encounter an attack, they rely on their mobility to escape, consuming the stamina of the heavily armored. Although the first round will be very painful, But as long as they do this, the elves will have a great advantage behind."

"That's okay." Toban let Dagon continue to eat, and the others stopped eating after reminding each other, standing up Open your ears and listen.

"Carry parts and build longer weapons." "Use portable traps like bear traps." "Learn to use a long-handled Warhammer or armor piercing cone to bridge the gap between attack and defense. "...

Dagon said for a while, having converted the food to venison. He said: "Apart from the exam room, the easiest way to do this is to lower the score for a draw. I've roughly calculated - not entirely accurate - if a win is four points, a draw is one point, and a loss is zero, Then it is entirely possible for the elves to control the score and throw you all below the pass line."

"We may also win!" Some students said unconvinced.

"The elves will learn to be smart. As long as the victory and the draw are divided, they can agree to a draw with you, and then each will let the human win a game. As long as the coordination is good, the human and half The Elves can make up three losses with just one win, the same score as our four draws. Don't forget, they also have a point when they draw with us, and they're more likely to get away by comparison If the elves want to make the situation easier, and a tie wins by 1 point and wins by 5 points, then who of you dares to draw In the end? If there is no tie score, what is the use of this fortress? To put it bluntly, this is just for the exam, and the exam is not a battlefield, and the situation is very easy to change.”

Tuoban nodded, Said: "Dagon, I admire you so much. But to convince me, you have to do two things."
