Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Next to the market
Jiangu City includes two parts, the ground and the underground, the previous lord The closure of the city has not ended, so the ground part outside the mountain is currently abandoned, leaving only the regularly rotating scouts for defense. There's always been a strategic buffer there, to slow the enemy down, or as a launching pad in pursuit.

First Layer is the real defense line of Jiangu City, there is a solid city wall reinforced by the dive technique, lots of traps, and the ever tenacious Jiangu clansman. The lord's castle is set up on this floor, playing a pioneering role in jointly defending against foreign enemies. In turn, there will be production and living areas, warehouse areas, planting and smelting areas, and mining areas. For every fourth layer, you are eligible to build a formal Oli temple. On the one hand, it shows how prosperous Jiangu clansman's life and work are, and on the other hand, it also uses this performance to apply to the god Oli for divine blessing.

When there is no threat from foreign enemies, there is a lively market near the lord's mansion on the first floor. It has also had a long-term splendor, and countless items that the Jiangu people are proud of, especially the exquisite weapons and rune tools, all make the merchants flock to it. But now, especially after sixty-two years of closure, it has long since fallen silent, existing only as a bartering place for the inhabitants of the city.

The depression of the market also made the lord's mansion deserted. This is the place where the Neal family has lived for generations. There is a labyrinth-like position between the high walls. It is said that there is a powerful Guardian who does not need to eat or breathe. It has never been breached. Jiangu City is named after the Jiangu clan. All Jiangu clansman with a round body and a hard and square soul originated here, and the Neil family was the original lord, which has continued to this day and is highly respected within the clan.

Respect - there is face, but starting from the position of strength, the Neal family has long since decayed and marginalized.

Children will decline when they are young, and the Neal family of this generation as the lord only has Glauda Neal as a woman. She is the younger sister of the previous lord, Aig Neil patriarch, who was revered as the "Wind Chaser". The lordship of the Jiangu clan has always been passed down from male to female, but sixty-two years ago, Iger Neil died of serious injuries in a battle with the devil, and was forced to issue a city closure order and transfer the power of the lord to My own brother-in-law - on the premise of completely joining the family and changing her surname. As a result, the husband of Ganlauda Neil, Antoine Pleiba IV, changed his name to Antoine Neil and became the current lord of Jiangu City.

He was sitting with his wife on a platform on the third floor of the lord's castle. He was wiping a steel essence shield decorated with a gold Warhammer pattern, and the engraved "No Hammer, No Tool" family motto was polished brightly. In the sixty-two years as the lord, Antoine can be said to be conscientious and conscientious, to be fair and hard, and no one can fault it. And he has a very good relationship with his wife. He has given birth to four children for the Neil family over the years, and the fifth child is also prepared in his stomach. This completely broke the shackles of the previous generations of the Neil family. He brings extra trust.

Garauda is content with her current life. Yes, if you only look at the cost of food and drink, it is definitely not as good as when she was a child a hundred years ago. But the order to seal the city was issued by the big brother, not his own husband. Although she can't eat well now, she is always full, and she values spiritual satisfaction more. The children grew up healthy and were all around. Antoine didn't have to rush to fight the "contract war" with monsters. She felt that she could fully accept the current situation.

Just sent the child out to play, and Gan Lauda rarely enjoyed the time between the two of them. She sat quietly, an old piece of armor on her lap, a full set of grinding and repairing tools beside her. She comes to mend armor, just like her husband sharpens his shield, it's the little pleasures in life that relax the mind and soothe the mood. The two listened to each other's work and breathing, as if the entire world belonged to only the two of them.

At this moment, a banging sound of ding ding dong dong came from outside the castle, crossed the city wall maze, and hovered in her ear. "I haven't heard such an intense rune hammering in a long time." Ganlauda put down the tie wire of the armor piece, listened for a while, and said, "I don't know who is making rune equipment."

"A letter from the Dwarf Clan Federation was sent to the outer city defense line yesterday." Antoine said irrelevant words.

Gan Laoda was startled, and the threading needle fell to the ground. "It must not be the news of the Demon City. God Oli has mercy, it must not be the news of the Demon City."

"It's not there, don't be too nervous. Your big Brother, the previous lord here died in Gamor City, and I have no plans for that at all." Antoine continued to wipe the shield, and the beeswax-stained rag made a zhi zhi sound on the metal. "It's news related to Myris, the crown of the world. The Dwarf Clan Federation reminded me that this time it's the Neal family's turn to send someone to the crown of the world for training."

"Don't go, the lockdown order has not been lifted, and a child cannot go to the elf's territory." Gan Lauda shook her head and clenched her fists. "If the elves could have rescued at that time, it wouldn't have taken much time and manpower, and my big brother wouldn't have died! It's them - those white skins with pointed ears - who held the dragon-slaying arrows and didn't send them down before. It caused heavy losses to the guards around Iger. Now the elves are trying to teach my child? This is impossible!"

"I have already replied and agreed," Antoine looked down at the shield, not hammering or not. The four characters of Qi seemed to be closer to him. "This time, the Dwarf Clan Federation has said very clearly that if the Neil family cannot respect the original agreement and continue to prevaricate with the city closure order, then it will be difficult to retain the seats in the Clan Federation."

"They dare!" Garuda jumped up from the chair, kicked the shield in Antoine's hand, and said, "This is the city of Jiangu, the Place of Origin of the Jiangu people, the Neal family is the Jiangu people The original guardian of , and the eternal guardian. If he dares to take away the authority of the Neal family, he excludes himself from the social group of the Jiangu people."

The shield rolled on the ground, making an oh la la hula sound. Antoine bent down, grasped the shield by the sides, and picked it up again. "My dear, there are so many cases in the name, they have a way. The Neal family is not short of names, but of reality, like a king who is about to starve to death, which is not taken seriously. I have weighed it, this is a time Good opportunity, we can send Dagon · Olison, he is also the child of the Neal family."

"He can't go." Gan Lao Da took a deep breath and said: "Let Fontan go , that he will go when he is an adult."

"Fanton is only eighteen years old, and it will be forty-two years." Antoine put the shield against the wall and held Gan Lao with both hands. Da's arm, and said: "Only the adult child of the family can go to the crown of the world, Dagon is just right. I am going to give him the surname of Neil, so that the dwarf clan federation will not be able to say anything."

Gan Lauda's tone suddenly softened and she said, "You...you want to give him Neil's surname?"

"Yes. Why not? He is the adopted son of your big brother. , and specifically entrusted to bring it back to the Neil family for upbringing. This order is written together with the city closure order, and it has the seal of the lord and the holy emblem of the Auli God, which has the same binding force." Antoine touched his wife's Beard, soothed her and said: "Even if his surname is Neil, he is not in the lord's line of succession. Being able to obtain this honorable surname is also very beneficial to his future development."

"No, Still not good. If you go to the crown of the world, the Jiangu people will become idiots and trash."

"There have been a few idiots before, but there have also been heroes of the Jiangu clan. That is A training center, not a city of demons, at least there is no danger of life and death, and I don’t think Dagon will become an idiot. Even if the part of the Jiangu clan wants to become an idiot, the part of the monster bloodline will not agree.”

"Go get the letter back, or prepare to let Levanko go. According to the ancient etiquette, it should be the heir of the lord to go to the crown of the world to train. Levanko became an adult twenty years ago, and he also I will never become an idiot."

"If you think so, then modify the armor in your hand according to the size of our eldest son." Antoine's words caused the heart of Ganlauda. hit hard. "Without the help of the Clan Federation, we won't be able to regain our strength before the lockdown ends, and Jiangu City and our Neal family will be even more dangerous."

"Dagon wants to be a hunter. Let him It's good to be a hunter."

"1.24 million liters of grain, you can measure it yourself." Antoine sighed, said: "Dagon, at most Olison with the surname of Neil, But you can't always see him more important than our son, or even more important than the future of the whole Jiangu city. If you can't figure it out, think about it. There is still a short time before adult ceremony, I hope to see Dagon's body shape Armor instead of letting our Levanco wear that."

"They're both the same size."

Antoine shook his head: "No, they're very different. ”

The lord went back to the house with the shield. The shield of the family was dented by Garuda, but he was not in the mood to repair it today. The current situation of the city is precarious. If the external traffic is not restored, the city closure order is lifted, and commerce is reopened, I am afraid that the city will be in distress, eaten up, and died.

He left the platform along the steps, and the sound of ding ding dong dong was heard behind him. The original specialty of Jiangu City is the rune equipment. This kind of clanging sound used to be like the running water of a waterfall, which can be stirred and lingering all day long.

"I haven't heard of it for a few years. Who is this who bought the rune equipment? At this time, will it have something to do with adult ceremony?" In Antoine's heart, the names of Dagon and Tormund He was about to emerge, but his thoughts were disturbed by the hurried guards.

"Another letter?" He took the envelope and looked at it, his expression changed immediately. The imprint of the wax seal on the letter is very clear, it is the emblem of his own family, the Pleiba family. Careful identification, you can get more specific information based on some changes in details known only to the clansman.

The letter came from his aunt, now the dwarf queen.

They were not close in the past. A letter came suddenly, and there is probably nothing good in it.

"Ai, don't make trouble for me. This Jiangu city can't stand any more trouble."
