Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Pigs
Dagon rushes forward with an iron barrel, relatively low and generous The body looks more like a wild boar on a rampage. But he is not the kind of wild boar without a brain, but a very intelligent and agile kind. When there is an obstacle in front of him, whether it is a pile of decorations on the side of the road or other Jiangu people who can't see him, Dagon can always change direction in time, dodge without slowing down.

It was a dexterity that seemed incongruous, as if the boar had learned to dragonfly touches the water lightly, as if a ball were bouncing. This flexibility is due to the ardent teaching and rigorous training of his father, Tormund "Half-Dragon" Steelcast. As the former captain of the guard of Lord Neil's family, he was the top three weapon masters in Jiangu city before his body was burned by the acid breath of a Black Dragon.

The acid poisoning injury made him infertile, almost completely destroying his hopes for life, and fortunately Dagon entered his life shortly thereafter. But "a half-dwarf with a bloodline of monsters" can't rekindle Tormund's beacon of life at all, but "a strong dwarf is a good child" can.

Tormund spent forty years observing Dagon, confirming his character, and teaching him wholeheartedly. Forty years of observation time is too long for human beings. Fortunately, the Jiangu people have a long life and can afford it. Moreover, once the Jiangu people confirm one thing, they will not be as fickle as human beings, but will only do their best with sincerity. Although Dagon only studied for 18 years, those 18 years were enough to make him a flexible and strong boy.

"Hey, I'm going to pass on the right!" "Hey, I'm on the left, passing!"

On the way, Dagon first sounded a warning, and then passed without stopping. every passerby. He controls the rhythm and speed very well, always the voice comes first and then the silhouette, so as to maintain the politeness that Jiangu people value very much. He hasn't done adult ceremony yet, so he can rely on himself as a child less than sixty years old, and see who surpasses others on the road - this preferential treatment will not be available in a few days.

"Smelly brat! Run so fast, don't fall down when going downhill!" The dwarf who was overtaken by Dagon scratched his beard, laughed and scolded: "You must know that the girl from the Fire Valley is in front, So run so fast! hahahaha..."

Squeak - Dagon stopped immediately with a sudden stop. He had almost nothing to be afraid of, including the lord Neil family, but his scalp tingled as soon as he heard the three words of Huogu family. The girls of the Jiangu clan are all good girls, they are honest and kind and have no bad intentions, and they are also good to Dagon, especially the ones from the Huogu family. It's just that Dagon can't accept giving his beard to someone else and then kissing his bride. He has always found such a custom unacceptable, considering the smell of the beard, it would always make him have one's hair stand on end, as if kissing himself.

He is completely different from other Jiangu clansman at this point, he suspects this is the influence of "monster bloodline" on him. He had tried to convince himself to correct this unusual idea, but the stubborn temper of the Jiangu people always appeared out of time on this issue, and he couldn't change it at all. Due to the sensitive topic of "monster bloodline", he did not dare to talk to others, even to his parents.

If you meet a girl - according to mother's words, go on a blind date - he can't guarantee that he will not show a weak spot in terms of expressions and movements, so he can only come up with tricks. cannot afford to offend Dagon has already figured it out clearly. After he became an adult, he first focused on the hunting team, and went to the cave system to catch prey and raise the standard of living at home. As for the blind date, anyway, this is just an adult, he can drag on for a hundred years, can the girl from the Huogu family wait for him for a hundred years?
'Maybe if you are older, you will not have this bad problem. 'Dagon consoled himself like this, and it was his last fantasy.

He was afraid of bumping into the girl from the Huogu family, worried about revealing the weak spot, and worried that someone would bring up the "monster bloodline" problem again, so he came to a sudden stop while running. It's just that his sudden braking has a different interpretation in the eyes of other Jiangu people. "Hey, that's right. You have to show upbringing and politeness in front of girls." An old man with a gray beard patted Dagon's shoulder with relief, and said: "Find the love of your life early, and then have a bunch of little fellows, watch them Rolling around at my feet. I think that Old Guy from Tormund will wake up laughing too!"

"Hehe...it should be..." Dagon scratched his head in embarrassment, flushing nervously. Climb up your cheeks. In the eyes of others, this is of course a normal reaction of shyness, and in exchange it must be a slap full of encouragement and understanding.

Imagine an embarrassing meeting with the Huogu girls, Dagon thinks it's not unacceptable to be a little behind in the fetch line, but what he can't accept is not making the effort to try and get a better result. So he chatted with the dwarf next to him without saying a word, while staring at those two round black eyes, trying to find a shortcut to get around the girl from the Huogu family.

As mentioned above, the city of Jiangu is underground. Jiangu clansman dug through the mountains and the ground through long-term labor, and built this magnificent city with the 7th Layer. There are only a few passages with steps cut out between the floors, which is also the main road that everyone uses. But outside the main road, there are always some relics left on the rock wall when the predecessors worked, such as some recessed stone footholds, supports for hanging ropes and other tools.

This is what Dagon is looking for.

As a Jiangu, Dagon can also see things clearly in a completely dark environment, but there is a limit to this kind of dark vision, which is only about thirty or forty meters. Therefore, the city of Jiangu will specially build a vertical downward bell tower in the center of the cave, and use the eternal fluorescent light ignited by magic to provide illumination to the surrounding. It wasn't that bright light, not even the last blush of the sunset. Just combined with darkvision, it doubles the results for half the effort, greatly increasing Jiangu clansman's field of view.

"Are you still looking for the girl from the Huogu family? No sorry, I'll keep it a secret for you." The old dwarf beside him stroked his beard and couldn't hide his gratified smile. "I heard Trona say that after adult ceremony you will go on a blind date?"

"No, you heard it wrong." Dagon poked his head beside the stairway, looking deeper. He saw the Fire Valley team at a glance—their fiery-red hair was so recognizable. There were six people in that row, like six fiery-red flowers, huddled together in the crowd. There was a lively red flower - a younger Sheila, who was probably a little older - was moving restlessly among the flowers.

"You don't have to be nervous when going on a blind date, but you don't have to worry, even if you are nervous, there is no problem. I was nervous back then, but it didn't prevent me from getting to know her." The old dwarf was still chattering, It's a bit dry mouth. So he patted Dagon on the shoulder to let him go first, stopped himself, cautiously picked up the leather jug hanging around his waist, and quenched his thirst with a light beer.

Young people should listen carefully when elders speak, and Dagon pays special attention to these etiquettes. Taking advantage of no one to speak, he hurriedly accelerated, not finding a shortcut, but seeing his good friend: Doma Dolton in front of one hundred and thirty steps.

If there is a food chain in Jiangu City, then the daughter of the Huogu family restrains Dagon, Dagon can manage Doma Dolton, and Doma can scare away the girls of the Huogu family. Due to an accident at birth - falling down three Level 16 steps and landing on her face is definitely an accident - Doma saved his life, but his face was ruined. His nose has almost no cartilage, only two holes are left, his forehead is collapsed, and his eyes are one big and one small, which looks very scary. This does not prevent him from having a soul that is worthy of the pride of the Jiangu clan, but it does not prevent him from scaring away the little girls of the Jiangu clan.

In fact, apart from girls, he doesn't have many male friends, and even his brother sisters rarely play with him. Dagon at first was also quite afraid to see that face, but he felt that Doma was actually better than him. Doma's face was dropped when she was a baby, and Ugly was also an ugly dwarf. And the monster bloodline scales on his neck and chest almost excluded him from the Dwarf Race group, obviously more serious.

Perhaps he saw a little bit of himself in Doma, or maybe he wanted to challenge his temperament. Anyway, Dagon soon stopped caring about Doma's appearance, and the two became good friends. They ridiculed themselves as ugly brothers, as the so-called one ugly and another strange, and they practiced their thick skin in each other's "cordial greetings", but on the contrary, they greatly expressed the cautious and sullen mood in normally.

Take a few quick steps to catch Doma and slap him hard—that's how they usually say hello.

"Can you do it lightly? The past few years are getting tougher every time!"

While rubbing her shoulders, Doma opened her bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl— Oh, and that's part of his childhood injury too. His nose is different from ordinary people's, so he always snores when he speaks: "Dagon, why did you fall into such a backward position? Usually you are in the front."

"Today I will go to the lord's mansion. Grab the potato flour, it's a bit of a delay." Dagon and Doma walked side by side, and the two wide men almost blocked the road. "Don't talk about me, why did you fall behind?"

"I've been composting before, otherwise where did the mushrooms and potatoes come from?"

"No wonder you have a streak on your body. The stench turns out to be the result of hard work."

"You weirdo, you may not be able to smell it without reminding you, and now I'm here to make a fuss about nothing." Head, snorted said: "When I join the hunting party, I won't have to do the hard work of digging and composting, and I won't have such a taste!"

"But you will still be ugly, and it's nothing like now. The difference." Dagon poked Doma with his elbow, and then said, "Want to get ahead of the team? I remember that it was Priest Ge Li from the Temple of Ori today to cast a spell to purify water. You also know that his diving technique is not powerful. What's the matter, when he gets to the back, he will be exhausted, and only muddy water will be left."

"Of course I want to go ahead." Thomas sighed, said: "But you also know that the road ahead is narrow. , there are several families with so many people that they can't squeeze through."

Dagon slapped his chest: "I can pass. Give me your bucket, untie the waistband and use it as a rope to tie the bucket, Tie it on your back, so I can pass by."

"Even if you are as flexible as an inflatable bladder, but the road ahead is narrow, you can't jump over it, right?"

"I'll take a shortcut and go down the mountain wall." Dagon lowered his head and saw his ten toes stubbornly sticking out of the upper. "Give me the shoes, I'll use them first, and I'll return them to you later."
