Chapter 452 Chapter 455 Nao Nao
Xiluoai is right, stuff your stomach and sleep well As soon as he slept, Dagon immediately felt refreshed, refreshed, and his negative emotions seemed to be disappeared. With a smile on his face and confidence in his chest, Dagon has had days of full of energy. Just a week later, Shirouai left temporarily for a trip back to Myris, and the low mood returned.

Dagon knows that the impossible is caused by Shiloai, and it should be a problem with itself. He took a day off from the Pioneer Army to meditate, and took a good look at his mentality and thoughts in the quiet room. He hopes to find the source of those sad Visualization Techniques, can't ask Aoli's help for this matter?
"Oli is still in a painful transformation, so he won't bother him if he can." Dagon lit the meditative incense and sat barefoot and cross-legged on a large square stone, hands folded on his chest. This is the most common introspection ceremony of the Temple of Ori and Jiangu clansman, which helps to concentrate one's mind and conduct profound self-analysis.

Dagon worked very hard, made full use of all the dive techniques and spell skills he mastered, and checked himself nearly a hundred times, but still couldn't find any problems. Perhaps the only problem is that he is too healthy. The trials of the divine enlightenment path tempered his body. Even without the dive force, his strength, durability, flexibility and agility are far beyond that of ordinary Jiangu clansman. Especially after he turned into a skeleton, he used dive force to reorganize his body. In terms of flesh and blood, he still looked like Jiangu clansman, but the skeleton was comparable to fine gold, and the elemental mana was better than mithril. If there's a problem, it's a problem with him becoming a little less human.

The body is healthy, the physical aspect of the brain is impeccable, and the mental and spiritual aspects are not disturbed and influenced by others. In the end, Dagon still didn't understand what was going on, but only came up with a solution: encourage himself a little more every day, review a lot, and remind himself to think in the right place.

As soon as he left the quiet room, Saree greeted him and handed him two notes. One of them was Thorens' daily report on the progress of the vanguard's training, and the other was a letter.

"Dagon, there is a human girl named Lati looking for you. She first found the Temple of Ori and said that she knew you and Shiroai, and accurately described the appearance of you two to Phoenix." Surrey Said, "Phoenix didn't think she was an assassin, so she sent her letter to the Vanguard, and then went here."

"Lati? I know her, a little girl, I Found it in a well." Dagon opened the letter, and without writing, he drew a well with charcoal, and a little girl with loose hair came out of the well. Looking at the appearance of the well, it was indeed the well that Lati hid in. "Where is she now? I'm going to see her."

"It's arranged in the Temple of Auli, do you want to go there? I suggest you take her to the vanguard's reception room for a meeting. It's safer there. The defense force is stronger.”

“The vanguard is training in shooting, so don’t let Lati pass by. The Temple of Ori is more suitable for receiving my friends from the past.” Dagon thought for a while and asked: "Sary, have you heard of threats again recently?"

"I heard some rumors from the mercenary channel that the elves may have to take action, probably seeing you as a threat like Bono. Well. The Mages Association, the Elf Cursed Sword, and some druids who are willing to work for the money, they can play all kinds of tricks, it is better to be careful."

"Bono...if they Thinking of me as the next Bono would be too underestimating." Dagon shook his head and said, "But you also reminded me that Bono was influenced by the Magic Association's ultra-long-range Illusion Technique that affected his mind and judgment. , which led to his failure step by step. Remind me to convene a meeting of the Hunters and talk about it."

"Using the Illusion Technique to influence the mind remotely? That's not very dangerous. "Sari frowned and asked: "Dagon, your state has been up and down recently, has it been affected? Have you seen Dongdong and Shiluoai?"

"Eh? You can see that I'm a little restless? I'll tell you the truth, I do have this problem. I checked with them, and I checked myself with the dive technique just now, and it's fine. At present, I can only think that I have just started to correct With so many people and so many things in charge, I haven't gotten used to it yet, and the responsibilities have created pressure. Saree, I'm only seventy, and I'm too young in the Jiangu clan."

"All of us—mainly the The Old Partners of the Wind Chasers - they all think that your body is young, but your mind and mind are not young." Surrey said: "We all truly admire your knowledge and ability, and recognize you. So don't use youth to pressure yourself, and don't use youth to excuse yourself. Forget those two words, focus on what you're going to do, and you'll be fine."

"Really? Thank you," Dagon said.

Sari smiled and continued: "Since you said thank you, then I'll say a little more: the most important thing is not to be afraid of making mistakes, especially don't think that you are young so you will make them. Mistakes. No matter whether you are young or not, you will make mistakes, and you will inevitably make mistakes. Don't put pressure on yourself, who doesn't get beaten when he learns a martial skill? It's okay to make mistakes and not die."

"Okay, I'll remember Stop it." Dagon smiled and said, "Bart, sent a message to the Vanguard Thohens, and said that I had read the report, approved it, and implemented it as soon as he suggested. Let's go, let's go to the temple."

Since the trial of the road of divine revelation, the Ori Temple in Chiling City has become a crowded place, and the number of people who come here to pray every day has greatly increased. Due to "busy business", Dagon no longer holds sunrise blessing prayers every day, which reduces the flow of some people, but it only makes some reluctant places to stay on the steps in front of the door. Jiangu clansman from Chiling City likes to visit the gate of the shrine as long as he is okay. Even if it is full of people and cannot go in to pray, being able to look outside and walk around seems to bring blessings. 、

Today, there are many groups of humans on the steps in front of the temple, which is not common, so it attracted the attention of the surrounding Jiangu clansman. These 30 people are not very old, and it is not a problem to say that they are teenagers. Their clothes were in disarray, some like beggars, some like farmers and craftsmen, and some like the rogue nobles. How did these guys get together? Why are their eyes so nervous?
In fact, not only these young human beings are nervous, but Sari is also nervous, for fear that assassins and killers will be mixed in with this group of outsiders. By the way, there are also monsters. Some monsters have the ability to disguise. Chiling City is no better than Myris, there is no super large array to detect and counter monsters. Although the battle strength of Dagon itself is very strong, this is in front of the Oli Temple, but there is a saying that the seemingly safest place is often the most dangerous.

"I guess these came with Lati." Dagon passed through the crowd, using the Illusion Technique to change the appearance of the three of them, so as not to be surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd. If you don't reveal your identity, you can't jump in the queue. The three of them obediently and honestly walked up the steps in the "pilgrimage prayer" procession, and passed in front of the group of human youths.

"It looks like these people... are quite confusing." Sari twitched his lips, she didn't look down on these people, and even if she didn't say they were hooligans, she would have kept her word.

Entering the Temple of Ori, Dagon left the team and walked directly to the back room. Phoenix smiled slightly when he saw Dagon's gesture, and walked back with him. There were three youngsters, one man, two women, and three youngsters sitting in the reception room. Two of them nervously looked at the water cups in front of them. The tea inside was cold, and they didn't even see them take a sip.

Dagon pushed open the door of the reception room, his gaze resting on the three of them. For Jiangu clansman, ten years is not a long time, and the appearance will not change much, but for human beings, especially for the age group of seven or eight to seventeen or eighteen years old, the change will be huge.

Careful identification, Dagon saw the traces of the past from the face of one of the girls in the red cotton coat. He tried his best to match those heroic eyes with the old shadow that often rubbed with tears, but he still couldn't believe it. "Lati?" Dagon asked tentatively: "How did you grow up like this?"

"Who are you?" The girl's eyes widened, her eyes very vigilant.

"Oh, I forgot the Illusion Technique." Dagon raised his hand and patted his chest, releasing the Illusion Technique that changed their appearance. I saw a bright smile on the girl's face, laughter gushing out from her yellowish teeth. "Dagon! You haven't changed at all! Still wide and thick!"

This is definitely Lati, since she used to describe Dagon as "wide and thick". "I've said it many times, isn't it okay to use generosity? Remove the two words!"

"No way!" Lati stood up, took two steps forward, and suddenly stopped: "Uh, still Can I hold you?"

"Come on! I don't have thorns on my body." Dagon opened his arms, and Lati jumped in, wrapping his arms around Dagon's shoulders and hugging him, resting his head on Dagon on the shoulders.

"Hey...it doesn't feel the same, are you getting shorter?" Lati rubbed her face on Dagon's shoulder, then stood up with the corners of her eyes wiped. In fact, it is not that Dagon has become shorter, but Lati has become taller. She wore flats and was the same height as Dagon, but she wasn't the poor little girl she used to be.

"These two are my friends, and the other twenty-four outside, we all came from Heshan City." Lati straight to the point, said: "We want to come to Chiling City. Life, I just want to find you to see if I can get a job."

"You are so direct." Dagon scratched his head and motioned for everyone to sit down. "Lati, the lord of Chiling City is a Tuoban, not me, I don't care about it. But I know that Chiling City is developing, there are many job opportunities, and humans are not prohibited from coming, It shouldn't What's wrong with be. Why, someone won't let you live here?"

"That's not true, on the one hand I miss you, on the other hand they don't believe I know you." Lati laughed Hehe said, her back was straight and confident, and she had no stage fright at all, which was very unusual. "We didn't come to go to Chiling City, but to find you. You completed the road of divine enlightenment, and then gave up the divine position to Aoli, which makes us feel that there will be a future with you."

Dagon smiled and stroked his beard and said, "Well...it sounds reasonable, but it's not enough. You have to praise me more, or I won't help you."

"Also To brag? It’s too much. There must be a lot of people who have said it to you, so I won’t repeat it. You can just assume that what they said is right, and I will save you a little time.” Lati laughed, it seemed very relaxed, but she His two companions became very nervous, and their hearts were in their throats. Is this the attitude of speaking to Spiritual God? That is the Legendary who completed the road of divine revelation, and this is the city of Jiangu clansman, not the home field of human beings...

"Well, well said! I have indeed heard those words, and Austrian Many priests in the Temple of Power have lived for five-six hundred years, and they must be stronger than you in terms of vocabulary and rhetoric, so I won't let you ashamed." Dagon hehe smiled, obviously Lati was still cute in his heart. The Little Sister. "Lati, I'm not the Lord of Chiling City, so you have to obey the Lord's arrangement and enforce his laws when you live here. There is no room for intercession on this point."

"No problem! ' Lati nodded hard.

"Apart from this I will definitely help you." Dagon said to Phoenix: "Please make arrangements, take the youngster brought by this girl to the back, and don't let them be watched on the steps. Burn some food to keep them full, and the food will be deducted from me."

Phoenix nodded, and was about to leave the Conference Hall to handle this matter. Seeing this, Lati also said to the young man beside her: "Kirke, you go with this kind-hearted old man, take care of those guys, you must be polite and don't cause trouble!"

"Hey!" Kirk nodded hard and answered neatly.

Dagon was relieved to see this and said: "Aiya, Lati seems to have really grown up and has taken the lead. You are also right, although you were weak when you were young, you often cried. But he has always been very determined, and he must do what he thinks clearly. Gerlos tried to keep you in the caravan without success. You said that you must go to Heshan City to find your aunt. How have you been in the past ten years, how are you? "

"Look at me, I'm alive and kicking now, I'm sure it's alright!" Lati twitched his lips and said, "You've become a god, I'm sure I can't hide it from you. The first five years were actually pretty good." , My aunt takes good care of me, just like she treats her own child, she eats, wears, and uses the same thing. I am very grateful to her. She said that I should learn skills and support myself to truly grow up."

Dagon nodded and said, "Well, it's really good for you that she can say that."

"She sent me to the tailor's shop as an apprentice, and I learned to do laundry. , mending and sewing clothes. My craftsmanship is very good. You can see that I made this dress myself, and I also made most of the clothes of the idiots out there." Lati said: "You told me to take money Hide it, don't expose it, I always remember it. I was planning to find an opportunity to open a clothes shop, sell cloth, make ready-to-wear clothes, and wash and mend the lord and Mrs. Knight, I will definitely be able to live well Life."

Raising his hands and scratching his scalp, Dagon lost his smile. "You would say that, it must have been a change."

"The civil division instigated the war, the war caused the plague, and the aunt's family was very unfortunate." Lati sighed, said: "As an apprentice, at that time, I still belong to the tailor shop, and I have to take care of the master family and cannot go back. I heard that there was a problem with the well water next to my aunt’s house, and many people died in her area. The well water I drink from the tailor shop is safe.”

"Sorry to hear this news, and my condolences," Dagon said.

"I have buried my grief, and I have a family again, a group of orphans who lost their families in the plague and war." Lati said: "The lord of Heshan City - I don't want to mention his Name - Relying on the war and the persecution of the dwarves to get enough citizenship points, he plans to move and send the whole family to live in the flying continent. Later, the flying continent pu chi was smashed, and all his property fell into fear. Si black tower, turned into a pauper lord. Although Heshan City was still his, it was clear that it gradually lost control. That lord unfathomable mystery died - assassinated I guess - and Heshan City became bandits and bandits Do you still remember Ma Feng who killed my parents? Heshan City has many Ma Feng.”

How could Dagon not remember Ma Feng, how could he not remember being with him in White Horse Town That rainy night when we fought? "Heshan City is so chaotic, how did you persevere?"

"Remember, I still had some money, so I bought the tailor shop. My master thinks Heshan City is too dangerous, just like going to the shop. Other cities. He sold it to me at a very cheap price, but he was killed by robbers before he left the city. It must have been done by a certain group of people in Heshan City."

Lati said this. The tone of the matter was unremarkable, but Dagon could hear the thrill inside. She continued: "I immediately knew that without protection and ability, I couldn't leave Heshan City alive, so I used the tailor's shop as a cover and worked hard to survive with my new family. Dagon, they all have some craftsmanship, you won't look down on them, will you? "

"In a dangerous environment, you can use whatever craft you have. As long as you don't bully the good, I have no problem." Dagon stretched out his hands and said, "I have learned the martial skill since I was a child." , Martial skill is fundamentally the technique of killing people, and it is the most frightening of all crafts, but are you afraid of me? People depend on character, craftsmanship comes second."

"Huh... ..." Lati relieved, and then said: "I'm relieved if you say that. There are thieves and liars among them, who can open the door, pick locks, and kidnap tickets and poison..."

"Wait, still Someone kidnapped and poisoned?" Dagon stared wide-eyed, saying, "Can I go back?"

"Yes. But please listen to my explanation." Lati said: "We don't tie up civilians or businessmen. We only look for nobles and Knights, especially those who like to fight and bully dwarves for the sake of citizenship. Nobles and Knights have a good habit of spending money to buy their lives after being captured. We will not invite mercenaries to deal with us like businessmen. We are also very reputable, we will release people when we get the money, and we will not torture them.”

“Don’t do these things after you come to Chiling City.” Dagon said: "Find some serious business. If you want to be an apprentice and need a guarantee, I can help you connect them, provided you manage them well."

"I will definitely manage them and not embarrass you. Yes." Lati was relieved, and there was an unconcealed ease in her smile. "Dagon, my prayers have come true, thank you."

"Aoli will now bless everyone who wants to live in peace, happiness and tranquility, whether you are human or Jiangu clansman, they will be treated equally ."

"I pray to you." Lati tilted her head and blinked her eyes, and said, "I don't know what your holy emblem looks like, and I don't know if the ceremony is right, so I refer to I have received the prayer ceremony of the Ori. Judging from the result, I should have been right."

"Pray to me? After the trial, I have given up the divine force, and now I am an ordinary person, you pray to me ?" Dagon scratched his head, his face suddenly sullen, and he gasped.

Yes, he gave Ori the divide force, but not all of it - he (intentionally/unintentionally) forgot part of the divide force on the musket. According to what he learned from the trials of the Path of Revelation, he is now an ordinary person, but Dagon as a "God" has not completely disappeared, but is very weak, and may not be even a Demi-God in terms of strength.

But he is still the main god, and functionally he can still receive beliefs, listen to prayers, and give diving techniques, but he just doesn't have the corresponding power. Not having enough power, Dagon couldn't hear other people's prayers, didn't even know someone was praying, and couldn't respond. But this does not mean that prayer will disappear and have no effect.

He has indeed completed the path of divine revelation, and there will surely be people who will worship him as Spiritual God. In addition to Lati, there are some people who may not have been helped and redeemed by other Spiritual Gods, and it is not harmful to try here in "Dagon Lord God" anyway. Thus, Dagon may have received many prayers without knowing it.

Some of the prayers are for praise, and some are for devotion, but the largest percentage of prayers must be for help. Dagon now understands how he's in a low mood, always feeling that something bad is about to happen, the guilt and self-blame that comes from receiving prayers but being unable to do anything about their requests - because of a lack of divide force. He produced the judgment of "I didn't do it well", which in turn led to the denial of his own abilities.

As a god, he is indeed unqualified, but he did not intend to be a god—regardless of whether he is qualified or not. Dagon slapped himself on the forehead hard, then looked at Lati, a little didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "It turns out that I had nightmares a while ago because you were talking about it..."

"You Still having nightmares?" Lati was stunned for a moment.

"I'm not a god, and of course I have nightmares when you and people like you are thinking about it. It's like when someone misses you so much, you sneeze." Dagon scratched his head, feeling again This kind of statement is a bit of a shirk of responsibility, looked towards back to make up for it, and said: "Hey, are you serious? Come, get to know the True God in the world."

Dagon stretched out his right hand and pulled up Lati's right hand, and said to her: "Don't ask God in the future, use your own hands to create a better life. I may not dare to promise other things, but I can promise you, I will do my best to create a beautiful life that you can use Hands build an environment for a better life."

Lati nodded hard, she lowered her head and looked at her palms carefully, then a shivered pulled a stone out of her pocket. It was an ordinary piece of granite, the edges and corners of which had been smoothed by wind and rain, and I don't know where she picked it up. Lati put the stone in front of Dagon and said, "I promise the youngest Jack, please give him your blessing. Don't bother, just blow at the stone - that's all he wants."

Just said Now that I am not a god, I just said that a happy life depends on hands to create, am I saying this in vain? Dagon tugged at his beard and looked sad.
