Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Dagon, parents are looking for you

It is worth taking a long way; The short road, some dangers should also be tolerated. Dagon rappels from an almost vertical abandoned patio rock face, which not only saves a lot of distance than a zigzag staircase that turns back and forth, but also crucially avoids the crowds blocking the road, thus saving a lot of time.

For Jiangu clansman, because they generally have broad shoulders and rounded waists, it is a matter with no difficulty to block the originally not wide underground staircase. Jiangu clansman are suitable for blocking the road and are good at blocking the road. Because of their low chassis, stable center of gravity and high strength, they can block the charge like a horse and a rock on the battlefield, and at the same time play the role of trapping horses and bear clips. The killing effect of this characteristic.

Pride on the battlefield has gradually become a custom. Jiangu clansman allows others to pass by, but is not allowed to be pushed or bumped away. On the road where there are still gaps, Dagon can hop up and down, showing his flexibility and enjoying the naughty privileges of being a child. But on the relatively crowded road ahead, he couldn't do the same thing, otherwise it would be too rude, too un-Jiangu.

Be a qualified Jiangu person, then be a Jiangu person who can eat and drink enough, and then pursue honor - this is the three-step plan that Dagon set for himself. Especially when he slid down two floors down the patio and finally got to the front of the water collection team, he had successfully put aside the mana manifesting thing and only thought about these three steps.

"hu hu..." He adjusted his breathing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his palm, and rubbed his face by the way, all the expressions of guilt and tension disappeared. "It's done, there are only five people waiting, I didn't run in vain, I'm at the front."

After jumping back to the main stairs, he didn't dare to run anymore. The Fourth Layer of Jiangu City - By the way, the Underground City of the dwarves counts the layers from top to bottom, while the above-ground city is from the bottom to the top - sits the Temple of Oli, which is dedicated to the Guardian God of Jiangu. Place, respect and reverence are the etiquettes that must be shown, and a stable and bowed walking posture must be observed, especially on the steps leading to the main entrance of the temple. Dagon adjusted the barrel on his back a little, patted his beard, and joined the team.

His posture is still walking, but he is always a little faster than others. Not far from the front is the Temple of Auli, on the left of the ascending steps is the memorial stone pillar showing the long history and great honor of Jiangu City, and the statue of Spiritual God is on the other side of the steps.

Aoli is a Jiangu with black hair and black beard, a face that is forever young and eyes that are always deep. Its statue generally takes a seated position, with an anvil under his butt, and tools for mining and ironing piled at his feet. Or good armor and weapons - different clans have different priorities, and the statues on this side of Jiangu have everything under their feet. This Ori is more than ten meters high, the body is made of granite, the armor is of Black Tortoise rock, and the weapon at the foot is gray gold ore, densely covered with reflections. Its eyes are carved from obsidian, in addition to being lifelike, giving people a feeling of always paying attention to themselves, they are also attached with spell, which can detect evil and give early warning.

Its priest is standing next to the statue, next to a bronze pipe with a valve. After a while, the priest Ori, who was wearing a gray chainmail shirt and a hammer on his chest, was about to perform a dive technique to purify the underground river water drawn from the pipe and distribute it to the residents who were waiting in line.

Dagon was in seventh place - he had just given up his place to Uncle Canlo, with a large grey beard. As for the other people who go backwards, don't let the child give way until the beard is white, that's inappropriate.

As predicted by the schedule, it is Pastor Ge Li who will perform a water purification spell today. His smile is very kind, his attitude is good, and his intelligence is not weak, but his mana can only be said to be very small, and he has not improved much in several decades. The people in the top 20 or 30 can receive high-quality purified water, and then they can insist on 100 ordinary qualified purified water. This is basically Ge Li's limit.

The reason why we need to purify the water is mainly because the underground river in the mountain range is not safe. Due to mining veins and deep digging underground, some harmful substances stored in the crevices of rock formations may contaminate water sources in the form of gas or liquid. Jiangu's body is tenacious and basically adapted to the natural toxins in the underground environment, but if you don't die, it doesn't mean you should eat stupidly. Purifying the water source with a spell can effectively help the body to excrete the accumulated toxins, so why not do it? Even if the mana behind is insufficient, it cannot guarantee to remove all impurities, but at least it can make the water non-toxic, so everyone is willing to line up.

Dagon always wants to be in the front not because he is competitive, but because he is always worried about his monster bloodline. If the water purified by the dive technique can expel toxins, then it may be effective against the monster bloodline. Of course, this is just wishful thinking on his part, and no pastor would think this theory holds true. But then again, no pastor denies the existence of such a probability. Anyway, as long as he doesn't suffer losses, it's a net profit, so Dagon always tries his best to rush to the front. Except for making some harmless little obstacles for him to play with him, everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Pastor Ge Li opened the gate to release the water, and a water column slightly thicker than his thumb flowed crash-bang out of the bronze water pipe. He placed one hand on the holy emblem on his chest, and the other hand drew a circle around the water column. The mana of the soil and the Water Element formed a divide technique, which had the effect of purifying, detoxifying and improving the water quality.

Huh? Dagon suddenly found himself able to feel the composition of the elements of the water purification dive technique. Before, he could only see the flickering light without further information. is it possible that after mana is manifested, it is possible to identify elements?

Don't panic, don't panic -- Dagon takes a deep breath. There is nothing special about identifying elements, and it is not unusual for Jiangu people who can show mana to be able to do it. It's just that he would lower his head and shake his shoulders unconsciously, which was immediately noticed by Pastor Ge Li.

"Dagon · Olison, you still know sorry!"

"I'm not! I don't! Uh...what's wrong with me?" Dagon was startled, lifts the head When he came, his hands swayed quickly in front of him, his face was flustered, and his skin was a little red.

"It's very dangerous for you to rush down the waste road. It can be said to be naughty now. Don't do that as an adult." Ge Li smiled and shook his head, his tone only exhorting but not criticizing. "You have to take care of yourself so that you can take care of the Steelcasts - didn't you keep saying that?"

"Sorry, Pastor Ge Li, I stopped doing this when I became an adult." Dagon Knock knocked a sigh of relief and replied: "I'll be more punctual and get to the front of the line earlier."

"Oh, clever boy, as long as you don't do dangerous things, the rest is up to you. Ge Li then raised his hand, pointed finger towards Dagon's body and turned around, and said, "The reason you came in front of the row is for so many buckets of water? You are carrying a few, why don't you put your water Can I move the tank down?"

"That can't be moved." Dagon replied very seriously: "I've considered that if the tank is full, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to carry it back, and it will block the road. , causing everyone to complain. Oh, there is also Doma's bucket in here, I'm helping him, but it's not my greed."

"Doma? Oh, that face is broken, now take it out. A dung child." Ge Li said this without any malicious intent, just simply stating the facts. There are 30,000 people in Jiangu City, and it takes some simplification to remember everyone. "Come on, fill up all the buckets as long as you can -- don't worry about my mana."

"I never worry about it," Dagon chuckled, adding mentally Dao: But it has never given high hopes.

Two iron poles were placed on the right shoulder together, the two big buckets in the front and the two large buckets in the back, and Dagon stood firmly to pick it up. The fellow Jiangu behind him helped him put the lid on, which would reduce the amount of spillage. After thanking Ori and everyone for their help, Dagon began to return. He had to go down dozens of steps and then climb up, a full two-story vertical city.

Just after walking a few steps, Dagon heard Ge Li calling him from behind: "Just leave? I have something else to tell you!"

both of his hands steady The pole turned his head and asked, "What else is there?"

The water purification technique in Ge Li's hands didn't stop, lifts the head to look at him, and asked suspiciously, "en? Do you have something else to do?"

"Didn't you say you have something to call me?"

"No? I didn't call you." Ge Li waved his hand and said, "Be careful on the road. Click, see clearly, and don't slip under your feet."

"Oh, I probably heard it wrong." Dagon stepped back again, but he heard it again as soon as he turned his head.

"Are you pretending to be stupid? I have something to do with you. Turn around and look up."

Dagon thought to himself, never heard that Pastor Ge Li has the ability to transmit ventriloquism sound , he's just a priest, not a bard! At this time, Dagon just turned around halfway and glanced back at the corners of his peripheral vision, but he would no longer rashly ask loudly.

He saw that Ge Li was concentrating on holding a water purification dive technique ceremony, reciting the wise blessings from the "Steelcast Scroll" of the Ao Li God, and he did not stop his performance at all. Everyone else on the steps bowed their heads, chanted prayers silently, and expressed their reverence to Ao Li, the protector of the Jiangu tribe. Looking up, I saw the door of the temple along the steps, no one else left?
Who is this kidding me?

Dagon snorted. He thought about it for a while, and thought of a few guys who were seriously suspected. They were all guys who used mana to show off their bad deeds. Most of them were friends of his adoptive father, and he couldn't beat them. There were a few overtakers on the road just now, and it was probably them.

With the answer, he was ready to continue his journey. At this time, someone shouted from the front: "Dagon, Dad is looking for you!"

"Hey! It's over, right? Now put on my dad?" Dagon really wanted to put down the bucket and use the pole Beat this voice.

"It's really your dad looking for you." A dwarf waved his hand under the steps and said in a low voice, "I just remembered that I saw Tormund Steelcast at the market before, he knew me If you want to queue up to get water, let me give you a message, let you put down the water and go to the market to find him, Spark Blacksmith - if I remember correctly."

"Oh, thank you , I see." Dagon quickly thanked. There were a lot of glances around to signal to make them quiet, and he quickly changed back to a low-key state and ran away with the pole.

Behind him, the obsidian eyes of the Aurelian statue kept watching Dagon's back, then blinked.

Everyone kept their heads down and no one noticed.
