Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Stupid on the Rock
"The new shoes I just got, you It's a pity."

Dorma sat on a stone pier by the roadside, untied her shoelaces, and took off her shoes. It was a pair of grey moccasins, and the color and markings should be of lizard skin. Since there is no way to grow cotton or raise silkworms underground, leather is the main material for clothes, shoes and hats.

"Your shoes are not so well worn that they don't look like new?"

"These are my new shoes, but my big brother's old shoes." Doma shoved the shoes into Dagon's hands, took the ripped shoes with exposed toes, put them directly on his feet and said, "He completed his apprenticeship not long ago and has become a full-fledged blacksmith. For the blind date, he needs to wear decent clothes. Some, changed the case, so I have a chance to get this pair of shoes from him."

"Changed the case? How can you say that he is a big brother?" Dagon shook his head, Put your shoes on quickly. The situation of Doma's family is very different from his own. He has eight brother sisters, who can squeeze together as a family. When he is young, he can also get supplies from his big brother elder sister. Dagon is alone, and his adoptive father is unable to undertake a lot of work due to physical reasons, so his family life is even more difficult.

"Your shoes are a little small, but they're just about right." Dagon laced his shoes and stood up and danced a few times. The grey leather shoes were a little overcooked, but he had to bend his toes and slide down the wall anyway, so it wasn't a problem.

The team to collect the water was still moving forward. Without further ado, Dagon tied the iron buckets of both of them to his body with the assistance of Doma. "I'm going, and you should hurry up and pass a few. At least the people from the Huogu family won't block your way, hehe."

"Go away, if you don't say good things, just pretend to be a stone, you don't want to hear it. Your voice." Doma made a ferocious look, but it was as scary as he was usually, no difference. He saw Dagon start rubbing his hands, knowing that he was about to set off, and finally instructed: "Be careful, don't be too arrogant."

"Don't worry!"

Dagon suddenly Accelerate, slant down the steps, and dash out right where the U-turn is. The steps of Jiangu City are built along the downward stone wall, and the side is generally no different from the cliff. When digging down, Jiangu clansman could not be sure where a stable passage would be built, so he always chose multi-channel construction, which was the last choice.

Beside the main road there is an old abandoned road that is half a "patio" recessed into the cliff. Between the two relatively parallel stone walls, there are still some places where the prototype of the stairs remains, roughly along the shape of the rock, creating some uneven support points. When better paths were found, these prototypes were abandoned and the scaffolding used for construction was removed. According to Jiangu clansman tradition, this abandoned road should be completely smoothed in order to reduce the number of routes that can be used up and down in the city and relieve the pressure on defense.

This is what I said, but firstly, there is no pressure from the enemy to invade in Jiangu City, and secondly, everyone is racking their brains to find ways to fill their stomachs, so how can there be any spare energy to do this "thankful" matter. The lord of Neal's house was wise not to mention it, and everyone was wise to pretend not to know, and this was the very unwise move of Dagon to fly towards the abandoned road.

It was as if a skin filled with water hit the ground, only to hear a thud, Dagon slapped flat on the mountain wall, first trembled, then slowly flowed down a little, but fortunately it ended. Living. His two big hands were clinging to the mountain wall, and everyone could see the bulging blue veins on the back of his hands, as well as the reddened fingers and the whitened joints. Out of sight, his ten toes were at full force, and even his chin was hanging on a slightly protruding platform, allowing the muscles in his neck to act as a lever and a winch.

"I was careless, I almost fell and died." Dagon's heart was beating fast, but he didn't dare to breathe hard, mainly because he was afraid that his expanding chest and abdomen would push himself down from the mountain wall. "The impact of these iron buckets was bigger than expected, but fortunately they didn't lose their balance completely."

He moved slightly to stabilize himself in a more comfortable position, and then looked around. Although the next step has been thought out in advance, the direction, angle and speed must be calibrated again on the mountain wall. When observing, his eyes just swept across his hands, and he accidentally found that the fingers that were the most powerful had sunk into the rocks, and they had even lost consciousness!
No! Dagon suppressed the brief panic in his heart and focused his eyes again. The finger does not "sink" into the rock, but the rock climbs up the finger. When you look closely, you can notice a slight difference between the two. It is clearly the rock that has changed its own shape, becoming soft and flexible, and has undergone a slight deformation in the part that is in contact with the finger, and it is actively wrapped like glue. came up.

This small change has a huge supporting effect. Dagon's hands are not on the rock, but on the rock, which greatly increases the power he can exert. In terms of muscle ability, Dagon can lift two of himself with his arms, but the environmental conditions for exerting this strength are more critical. This small change in the stone wall is not accidental, but a natural manifestation of the mana of the earth element. Dagon has seen it from the father, but this is the first time he has shown this ability.

"Isn't it possible to manifest mana after an adult ceremony?"

Adult ceremony is not a simple walk through, but consists of a series of practical and important trials. First, you must deepen and review the tradition of the Jiangu tribe by taking care of the beard, then choose a profession and prove your ability in the profession, and then enter the official name ceremony chaired by the lord, get the beard ring, and give the Jiangu tribe according to your profession. Spiritual God Prayer. At this time, a Jiangu clansman is truly under the blessing of Spiritual God, and can stimulate his own mana.

Each creature has more or less mana, including two states, explicit and restrained. This type of innate mana is related to the environment in which it has lived for a long time and the bloodline inheritance of its ancestors. Because Jiangu clansman has lived underground for a long time, there are mainly Earth Elements up and down, and almost all Jiangu clansman will have mana in the direction of Earth Element. Some Jiangu clansman will also display Metal Element mana, which of course is related to the underground mine. The two elemental mana of earth and gold are quite suitable for the career direction of warrior and blacksmith, and are most common in Jiangu clansman.

But it's not common, and quite uncommon, to show element explicitness when underage.

"It's not a good thing." Dagon took a deep breath and quickly pulled his fingers out of the rock so that no one could see it. His eyes were dodging, for fear of colliding with those Jiangu clansman not far away, for fear that they would see a guilty conscience. Because of this, he hurriedly began to slide down the mountain wall, taking advantage of the once abandoned stairs to take a shortcut to the front as much as possible.

Jiangu clansman has to be "named" in the race Spiritual God, and can only exert his mana after being blessed, but this is not the case for some races, such as monsters.

"Could it be that the monster's bloodline ability is showing at this time..." Dagon thought of this, his scalp felt numb, and beads of sweat immediately poured out densely. "I'm from Jiangu, not a monster. If it's a monster, I won't be able to enter the hunting team, so how can I let the father mother live a good life with food, drink, clothes and clothes? No, it must not be discovered."

"It's going to happen soon... Even if you fall, as long as you don't die and don't get seriously injured, your mana will be much better than this time." Look in front of your eyes, take a step by step, and pin everything on being able to survive adult ceremony. When he enters the hunting team, the mana display will only be beneficial, and it can also increase his battle strength to a higher level.

All have mana, but not all can manifest mana, let alone use it in combat. Monsters rely on the accumulation of growth and the outbreak of crisis moments, and Jiangu clansman relies on long-term continuous learning and training. Dagon's combat skills training from his adoptive father, Tormund, lays the groundwork for the use of mana in the future, but it by no means includes lessons in actually eliciting and using mana. All Jiangu people, no matter how talented, have to wait for adult ceremony to manifest their mana, without exception.

Dagon is worried about the mana on the wall, and everyone else is worried about him. Jiangu clansman, who was walking on the steps, soon found the "wild boar" who was trying to take a shortcut, and reminded him to be careful. In addition to a few simple "be careful, come back soon", there are more tips based on knowledge and experience.

"Take the left side of the road, it's solid!" Some people see it more comprehensively and clearly from a bystander's point of view. "Don't go to the right, I see there are cracks in the rock there, I'm afraid it's loose. Yes, that granite is a one-piece structure, it can definitely hold up you brash child!"

The noise above caused After the attention of the people below, the girls from the Huogu family also lifted the head. They clapped and even whistled as they saw Dagon advancing in the hollow of the mountain wall, bouncing, sliding, climbing down. This is a great compliment, and it will not be given lightly, especially unmarried Jiangu women, who are especially stingy with this kind of compliment whistle, so it is not surprising that everyone is rumored that the Steelcast family is going to marry the Huogu family.

Usually, Dagon has a good face, and always accepts praises from others without the slightest hesitation. But how could he have the heart to listen to the whistle at this time? First, concentrate on rushing down the mountain wall safely and quickly, and take this opportunity to press the mana manifesting thing to the bottom of your heart, so as not to reveal the weak spot, this is the most important. The whistle, even if it got into one ear, would get out of Dagon's other ear.

"It's too brave," a girl from the Huogu family said loudly without shyness: "There are so many people rolling on the ground, who can roll on the wall, and can roll so well, this It’s rare. Sisters, you let me win you let me win ”

“You let me win what? It’s not you on the wall!” The red-haired younger sister beside her was relatively short. , but his temper was high. "You're talking nonsense again, watch me stab you in the ribs!"

"Oh, if you poke me again, you'll fight back!" The Huogu family's team rioted, only accompanied by laughter. It's a very common thing, everyone will just watch and be happy. "Still poking? You actually fought for... Hey? I'm fighting back! Stoke your forehead!"

There are many girls in the Huogu family, who are close in age and are very close to each other. This kind of thing is too common. , usually it will stop for a few minutes, and after a period of time, a new cycle will be found. When they quarreled, there was no lack of ideas that caught Dagon's attention, but the guy with the pig's head and the pig's brain didn't understand it at all, and just rushed forward stupidly.

Abandoned roads are less safe, but shorter distances. Dagon sullen his head and closed his mouth, not daring to reveal that he was able to use mana in advance inadvertently, and rushed to the front.
