Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Wake Up, Dagon (Part 1)

The fall was very short, and During the fall, Dagon was tumbling, and most of what he could see was spinning around. He forced himself to take a deep breath with astonishing willpower, then tried to get up. The attempt was a failure, he couldn't control his body at all, and taking a breath was the limit. At the end of the fall, he felt himself hit something hard and soft before being swallowed by the water.

The river was freezing cold, foam everywhere, bubbles everywhere. Dagon felt like he was hit several times by something hard and cold, and he didn't know where he was going up and down. He was very helpless in the water, he didn't know how to move his hands and feet, and he couldn't open his eyes, only hearing the deafening rumbling and oh la la oh la la.

He couldn't swim at all, but the river was so fast that he was not allowed to stand at the bottom. Dagon only felt something tugging at one of his arms, and he kept bobbing up and down in front of him. Then he felt himself fall once, and again, slammed into something, and then he didn't know anything.

At the edge of the cliff of the mouth water gorge, Doma dragged the last trial student up with the assistance of others. He tried to dive to save Dagon, but was held by the other six. Doma struggled, shaking fists and tearing the beards of others. In desperation, everyone had no choice but to raise their fists and knock him unconscious.

When they came to the shore, everyone looked down and saw no trace of anyone at all. The river of Mouthwater Gap continued to wash away, disappearing into a tunnel where Dagon, Balder and Bear Lizard disappeared. When they saw several pieces of ice floes smashed into pieces at the entrance of the tunnel, and then disappeared in a whirl, they knew that there was no way to rescue them.

What should I do? Stopping here is definitely not the way to go. After discussing it for a while, everyone decided to move on and set off along the road to the bear lizard's camp. On the one hand, we must cherish the memory of our fallen friends, and on the other hand, we must continue our lives. So, the trial students packed up their luggage, took turns carrying the unconscious Doma on their backs, and started a sad and staggering journey.

"Ah!" Dagon cried out in surprise and sat up. He immediately noticed the flames burning around him and knew where he was. This time Rhett was right across from Dagon, sitting on a stone mound, dozing off with his chin on his hand.

"Didn't? I fell asleep and dreamed?" Dagon jumped up happily, waking Rhett as well. His first words sent Dagon back to the ground.

"Ah, welcome to the realm of the Oli Gods. When you die, you will be picked up to be reunited with your ancestors, and you will not be alone."

" Am I dead?" Dagon said weakly, lying on the ground.

"Do you think there are other possibilities?" Rhett shook his head, disappointment in his voice. "I told you to go back, but you didn't; I didn't let you go back, but you turned back. This is not courting death, what else can be called courting death? Do you think it's a loss? Is your life a loss?"

Dagon sat up, thought about it carefully, and said, "My life is a bit of a loss, but it's not a loss."

"What should I do if my life is gone? Really can't tell good from bad!"

Dagon tugged at his beard, holding his face silent. After a while, it seemed that he didn't like this kind of silence, and Rhett waved his hand and said, "Okay, no matter who it is, he will be unwilling to die. Compared with me, you are already pretty good!"

"Yeah, you should be dead, otherwise you won't be a spirit. Can you tell me how you died?"

"My way of dying is not waiting for birth. Reid said: "I have never breathed the air of the world, and I have never drunk the water of the world. I know what is colorful and colorful, but I can't touch it. In contrast, you saved five people, very Not bad!"

Dagon counted with his fingers, and then said, "You're sure it's five, which means..."

"Yes, you're right. , the dwarf who was thrown by the rope in the end was also saved." Reid nodded slightly, and then clapped his hands in congratulations. "Okay, now is a good opportunity to reminisce about your life. If you knew this was the end, would you still make the same choice?"

"I don't know that." Dagon tugged at his beard and thought for a while, Then he said: "My dad taught me a truth, I don't know if it's appropriate to put it here, but I think it's roughly the same."

"What did Tormund say?"

"That's the routine he taught me the martial skill, that is, what method to use in any situation. I remember he hit me with a stick in one hand, let me remember how to hit, and then test how I should deal with it. I was beaten every time, and there were few that could be blocked, even when facing the same starting move. So he reasoned with me, saying that even the exact same move could lead to countless changes, so I couldn’t hold on to it. 'I've seen this and I know what to do with it' to fight the idea. You put your mind on that, against an imaginary threat, and you're missing some useful mind in the face of a real threat."

"I understand. Even if you do it again, you will only treat it as new and will not be affected by the previous one. Isn't this not a long memory?"

"Say these have What's the use? It's impossible to come back after death, you're still here to entertain me." Dagon lay down on the pillow again and said, "I only hope that the friends I rescued can take care of my parents more, and nothing else. Let's talk."

Reid looked at him directly, and after a while, he shook Erlang's legs and said leisurely: "You can't rely on others for that job, you have to do it yourself."

p>

"How do I get there myself?" Dagon at first was still stunned, but suddenly he thought about it, and a carp jumped up from the ground. "From the beginning to the end, you didn't explicitly say that I was dead! So I'm still alive, right?"

"Yes, you're still alive, probably a man who suffered a lot of injuries, fell into a hypothermic coma and The half-dead state caused by choking water." Reid said: "Jiangu's body is tenacious, you should be able to wake up."

"Very good!" Dagon ran wildly around the fire ring. , sometimes jumping vertically, sometimes sideways, like an excited wild boar that doesn't know what to do. After turning around for a while, he walked towards Rhett and hugged him at once. "Thank you for this good news. If I woke up, I would..."

"Stop, just stop here, I don't want you to do anything for me now, I only want you in the future Just do one thing." Reid said: "So far, you meet my requirements. You are good to people, dare to take responsibility, can take care of others, have your own ideas, and have the wisdom and action to solve problems. "

"Hehe, no one has ever praised me like that..."

"Any kind Jiangu person has the above characteristics, and you are only one of them. What really makes you What makes the difference is your attitude towards doing it all over again. You are neither escaping from options nor sticking to them. I hadn't thought about it before, but you reminded me that maybe your attitude is the solution The key."

Dagon pricked up his ears, trying to keep up with Rhett's thoughts, but he ended up with a simple conclusion: "Thank you for complimenting me."

"You saved five people, you should boast. And you were killed, you should get help." Reid looked up at the sky, there was a black hole above, there was nothing at all, but now a shooting star suddenly appeared.

The meteor slid across the night sky and turned, circling the sky for two weeks before settling. As the distance from the meteor kept getting closer, Dagon noticed that it was an incandescent five-pointed star whose rays of light had been flickering at a very high frequency, and staring at it would make people feel dizzy.

“Jiangu people will make rune tools, that is to embed mana and spell into tools or weapons in the form of rune. After continuous summarization and improvement, the priests in the temple of Ao Li have formed a complete set of tools and weapons. The specification of the manufacture and use of the rune allows craftsmen and other non-divine technique users to use the rune as well.”

Reid reached out and grabbed the meteor in his hand. Incandescent objects tend to be hot, and the meteor baked Dagon from a distance, but it didn't burn Red at all.

"The summary and improvement of the pastors are very good, but the rune was inspired at the earliest time. In my hand is a rune inspired by Spiritual God, as you save Jiangu clansman The reward for your life. What the temple gives you is called a gift, and for the ancestors, you did good deeds for the Jiangu people, and what you got is called a reward.”

“You can think that Spiritual God attunement is a kind of Equal contract, without any coercive elements. You take care of the descendants of the ancestors, and you can get rewards. This is actually not much different from priests. They take care of clansman, and they also get the right to use the diving technique and the corresponding power. There are only two differences. Dot: The ancestors are not giving you a gift, this is the original enlightened rune."

Reid reached forward and gave the incandescent five-pointed star to Dagon. At this time, the five-pointed star no longer bakes Dagon, it only emits heat equivalent to body temperature, and floats gently in front of Dagon. At the same time, the dazzling flicker disappeared, and Dagon could see a faintly visible text inside the five-pointed star: Shuo.

"Shuo?" As soon as Dagon uttered this word, the five-pointed star got the summon and burrowed into his chest at once. Dagon was startled and quickly touched himself, but there was no sign of the rune star except for the scales on his chest. And after absorbing the "Shuo" rune, Dagon didn't feel anything, especially he didn't feel that he had any more abilities.

"Monsters can't use the rune of the Jiangu clan, so you are not a monster." Dagon touched his chest, patted his stomach, retched twice, and found that he couldn't mobilize the ability of "Shuo" rune. "Is this rune fake? In fact, you are still a monster?"

"Don't be stupid, you already know in your heart that I'm not a monster, otherwise you wouldn't hug me." Reid snorted, holding Arms, squinting eyes looked towards the sky. "If you want to know how to use it, then you have to ask me!"

"Please tell me how to use this rune?" Dagon bowed to Rhett.

"I didn't expect to bow, I really didn't expect that. You are quite polite."

"My dad taught you to be polite to those who can teach you true ability. Human. If you can teach me to use Jiangu rune, it is not a monster, and I should salute you as it should be by rights."

"The method of use is very simple. On the one hand, focus the mana on it, which is probably located on the scales at your throat. If you have a mirror, you can try to look for it, and you should see a flashing word written backwards on the back of a scale. "

"Wait a minute, why is the rune on the scales?"

"The scales are your armor, the rune is just on your armor, that's how the rune is made." Is it hard to understand?"
