Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Primordial Hammering
Adamantite is the hardest metal in nature, it fully With the "sharpness" and "hardness" of Metal Element, it can easily destroy other objects, and it can also resist and reduce the damage when other objects try to destroy it. If combined with some Earth Element incantation to achieve the effect of earth creates metal, the strength of adamantine utensils can continue to increase.

Weapons are power, and armor is life, so Adamantite, which has both properties, is a very popular forging material. In the north of Jiangu Western District, there is the largest and most important concentrate gold mining area in the world, known as the Gold Valley, which produces more than 90% of the world's fine gold.

The Neil family in Jiangu city also owns a part of the output of the adamantine valley, which is about 40 catties of adamantine ingots every year. It is because of this income that the Neil family can provide every member of the Neil family with a gold beard ring. It is also because of the use of this unique gold beard ring, the people of the Neil family will not be mistaken outside.

Each Jiangu male has only one set of beard rings for life, which is a testament to identity, honor, backbone and skill. The beard ring has the blessing of the God of Oli, which is generally difficult to damage, but it will not be invulnerable, indestructible and impregnable in fierce battles. Even if it is damaged, Jiangu clansman will try to retrieve the fragments of the beard ring as much as possible, and find a way to glue or connect them in series to continue to use. Because of this tradition, the gold beard ring is not only valuable for its status, but also very practical.

Adamantine is much more difficult to process than silver, requiring more steps and repetitions to engrave a name. Dagon and Doma waited patiently by the side, and both of them rarely kept their mouths shut, daring not to disturb the craftsmen who were concentrating on their work with the sound of their conversation. Beating the gold beard ring requires not only the craftsmanship, but also the continuous use of mana, especially the power of the Fire Element that can restrain "gold". Fire is violent, so be extra careful.

The Fire Element swirled around the artisan's fingertips, as well as in Dagon's sight. Fire and earth make up Dagon's innate talent, where fire is even stronger than earth, which is quite rare in Jiangu clansman. Seeing the fire, he couldn't help but think of the accidental drinking of the fire-breathing potion in the underground river valley. His internal organs were not burnt by the fire-breathing agent, and the Fire Element physique should have provided him with protection!

With Fire Element in mind, why don't you try "rune Breathing Technique"? Breathing Technique pays attention to the fit and operation of the body and mana, and requires a combination of various postures during practice, among which the sitting posture is the most basic. In the sitting position, the soles of the feet are facing each other, the legs are naturally bent, and then the hands are crossed, the palms are facing the sky and placed in front of the navel. The head is naturally lowered, and the eyes can see both hands and feet at the same time.

With breathing, mana flows through the body, from the inside out to the surface of the skin. The legs form a loop, the arms form a loop, and the double loops form a loop that represents infinity. The 1st Step of Breathing Technique is to mobilize mana to perform an "8" cycle, let it wash the body, and make the body more adaptable to the state of mana circulation.

Between the breaths, the body is also interacting with the outside world. Taking out the old and taking in the new is itself a process of cleaning up impurities and accumulating mana, and in the sitting position, you can focus more on controlling each process, thereby improving efficiency. From this point of view, "rune Breathing Technique" is indeed the most primordial, the most basic mana exercise method, and the most natural method.

It should be feeling the flow of mana, and Starhelm began to move restlessly, circling around Dagon's neck, making people itchy. "Don't move, or get on top of my head." Dagon whispered to the bear lizard, rubbing his beard against the bear lizard. The Star Helmet did not leave the neck area, but instead lay down, constantly looking for and adjusting the posture that would make him comfortable.

After adjusting for a while, I found the most comfortable position. It was actually biting its tail and hanging itself around Dagon's neck. At this time, a strange phenomenon occurred. When Dagon was running mana between his breaths, his scales would vibrate, forming waves as they expanded and contracted. The star helmet is attached to the scales but not glued to them, it undulates with the scales and uses its tail to form a third loop with the Dagon.

This time, Dagon's head is also included in the loop, which has a major impact on overall breathing. First there was a slight dizziness over the top of his head, then his whole face was sore and his eyes were straight.

At this moment, a fiery feeling rises up from the neck, and wherever it goes, it can eliminate the uncomfortable feeling there. Of all the changes, the only thing that was different was the eyes. Everything Dagon saw was color-deflected, and soon only black and white and four colors stood out: green, blue, red, and yellow.

The fine gold whisker ring exudes a dazzling white light, and the carving tools in the hands of the craftsmen are mostly red fireflies. Dagon looked towards the earth, a faint earth-yellow faintly discernible, while the surface of his own body was a cycle of fiery red and earthy yellow.

Dagon understood right away, it was the distribution of elements around him, which he could perceive through visual cues. If you can see the distribution of elements, especially if you find particularly active and easily absorbed element activity locations, can you speed up the efficiency of mana accumulation?
After this thought appeared in my mind for a while, the vision that could see the distribution of elements disappeared. The people and things around were back to their originals, and the familiar and correct colors didn't make Dagon happy. He kept trying, hoping to reproduce the state just now, but without success.

Still haven't figured out the trick, Dagon thought. I only practiced the first movement of "rune Breathing Technique" for the first time. It can be said that I gently pushed on the door of mana and incantation, not to mention stepping into the door. . It may have been a mistake just now. Only by continuing to practice and use incantation can a stable spell effect be obtained. Yes, predecessors invented incantation to stabilize the effect of spell, which can be reused.

Although not able to reproduce the elemental vision, Dagon also gained from the vision just now. First of all, the generally processed items lack elemental activity. The stone benches in the craftsman's room are basically black, and they are not even comparable to the natural ground here. Then, purified, fine-forged, deep-processed items have strong activity, such as fine gold. This shows that simply changing the shape will destroy the natural flow of elements in it, but effective aggregation can concentrate and highlight the activity of elements, which has a process of first falling and then rising.

"rune Breathing Technique" also said that mana will first fall and then rise during cultivation, and must be tempered patiently - Dagon is thinking in his heart - so, this Breathing Technique is also from observing natural things How to purify the elements in to develop thinking, and then use it on dwarves?

His understanding is correct. The ancestors of the Jiangu people learned and mastered how to use mana by observing nature combined with their own practice, and then developed a series of usages of rune. In "rune Breathing Technique", many actions and methods of cultivation are born out of the manufacture of utensils, for example, the rotation cycle comes from "grinding".

Jiangu clansman's earliest processing method is grinding. Through grinding, he can obtain axes, arrows, and hammers, so that Jiangu clansman has the first weapon when facing the ominous beast in the wilderness.

"Weapons..." If there was one deepest thing about Dagon's sixty years before, it was weapons. He studied with the weapon master's father, and in hunger, but also in ardent expectations, he is familiar with weapons and practicing the use of weapons every day.

Restricted by family conditions, Dagon has practiced the techniques of every weapon, but only a few have actually been used. During the overwhelming majority time, he used models, stones of similar weight and shape, in place of real weapons. He had no opponents, no sparring, and he could only practice with goals he dictated to Tormund and then constructed from his own imagination. He has in his mind a silhouette of a father who is proficient in martial skills, a shadow of himself practicing hard, where he stores all his weapons.

"Mana becomes incantation, and ultimately it has to be used as a weapon. If you don't hammer, you can't hammer out a weapon. So, I am simply a weapon, and mana is to make up for my body and weapon...

...No, it should be to make up the gap between my body and the martial skill."

"Learn mana and then learn rune, rune can be combined into incantation and released, or hammered into weapons, but also You can hammer on the scales! The scales are my body, so I can play the role of a weapon. Yes, and the effect of armor! This way, even if I don't have the money to buy good rune weapons and armor, I can Unleash my full power!"

Dagon unconsciously finished the rune Breathing Technique, clenching his fists tightly, and exclaiming excitedly: "Ah! I know how my future is going!"

"Don't make a noise, scare me!" The craftsman reprimanded in a hoarse voice: "Dagon, you may ruin the work of the craftsman by doing this, which is very powerless!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Dagon brow beaded with sweat, quickly apologized.

"Fortunately, my hand is steady enough to complete the work." The craftsman clamped the gold beard ring with three fingers, "Take it, it's done. I see you've already braided your beard. The main braid in the center, put it on!"

"Thank you." Dagon took the beard ring with both hands, looked at the powerful Dagon · Olison · Neil engraving on it, and couldn't wait to hang it over his beard superior.

A beard ring is an unclosed cylinder that leaves a vertical slit for the beard so that the braid can be tucked in. After being placed, the beard ring will confirm that it is hanging on the correct beard according to the identity information (beard, old skin, nails and scales) attached to the name when engraving the name before, and then activate the rune on the beard ring. The blessing of the Great God of Oli descended, the vertical seam was closed, the beard ring was completely locked on the braid, and at the same time, his ability was revealed.

Dagon's beard was instantly smooth and neat, as did his hair. Originally, his hair was difficult to manage, which was not unrelated to the high activity of Fire Element in his physique. It was probably violent elements that produced violent hairstyles. Under the care of the beard ring, the violence was smoothed out and concentrated at the same time. The color of the braid tied with the beard ring changed from black to red, and finally became a shiny deep red.

"You are so beautiful! You can actually dye it." Doma looked down at his beard and said, "My beard ring doesn't have such a magical effect, and pure gold is better than silver. Ah!"

"The Neil family all use gold beard rings, but this is the first time I've seen one who changed the color of the beard." The craftsman said as he packed up his tools, "I don't think it has anything to do with the beard ring. , but it has something to do with Dagon physique. Your monster bloodline may be the cause of this change."

"I was just checked by Chief Kurt's monster detection ceremony spell, if there is a monster bloodline , will definitely be caught." Dagon touched the single deep red beard braid, feeling that it was both cool and handsome, and he was satisfied with it. "Thank you again. I can't wait for my family to see!"
