Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Ah, Sun
Dressed and refreshed, Dagon is about to embark on his journey. From Jiangu city to Myniris, almost equivalent to from the south to the north of the world. Even if the journey is smooth and safe, it will take eight months before entering the elf's territory. The fatigue of boats and cars along the way will be a feeling that Dagon has never experienced before.

Fortunately, the caravan sent by the "Golden Dog" Chamber of Commerce has been operating on this north-south line all year round. They are experienced and friendly to Jiangu clansman. It is said that the "Golden Dog" is the only one that can communicate with Jiangu clansman's two major settlements in the north and south: the Fangtooth Fortress and the Chamber of Commerce in Mopan City. , trusted by Jiangu clansman. The Neil family entrusted Dagon to them, and they also took a fancy to this trust.

You have to leave sooner or later, so you don't have to procrastinate. Dagon first said goodbye to his parents, then went to the lord's mansion to make a brief greeting, then took the bloodline certificate and personal seal to prove his identity, and went to the entrance and exit alone. The two families had packed a backpack for him, and from the back it looked like one Jiangu clansman was carrying another Jiangu clansman.

"You can only go this way, so you can't avoid me."

The familiar voice brought a smile back to Dagon's face, and he moved towards the dark corner. waved. "Doma, thank you for coming to see me. It'd be nice if your face was more beautiful, and I can keep some more good memories."

"You should create good memories, stop The idea of trying to take advantage of me." Doma came out of the shadows, hitting her elbows, shoulders, and forehead with Dagon. "It's very reluctant for you to leave, but your stay in Jiangu City will only delay those kind girls."

"You go save them!"

"I really I want to go." Doma touched her collapsed nose, shook her head and said, "Next week, I will be arranged to go on a blind date with the girl from the Huogu family. Alas, it is definitely a waste of time for something that has no results. I would rather go. You can earn more money by completing the extra tasks of the hunting party."

"Hehe, you should go on a blind date and let your family worry less." Dagon looked left and right, then put down his backpack, Open a pocket from the inside and take out a small leather pouch.

"Here is one hundred gold coins, given by the lord. You can buy something for my house from time to time and send it over there."

Dorma shook her head, not accepting these gold coins at all, Just pushed them back. "If you really trust me, don't give me money. What's a hundred gold coins enough for? I'll definitely send something to the Steelcast couple, and then I'll keep your account and give me money when you come back. If you can't live well , earning less than what I gave, it would be a shame!"

"Then you keep your accounts well?"

"Sure, don't worry. There is a saying that The biological brother clearly settles the account, the more careful I remember, the more calmly I give it."

"Well, this is better." Dagon reloaded the gold coin, put on his rucksack, and the two walked along the lord's mansion. The main road in front goes towards the city gate.

After the market ended, the place returned to calm, but everyone was still experiencing the happy aftertaste of being able to communicate with the outside world and get what they needed. The residents of Jiangu City have a new topic, that is, whether to end the city closure order early. The former lord Iger has been dead for 60 years, and now the adopted son Dagon he sent back is going to leave, can the lockdown order he sent back can also go?
It's just that it's not that fast to fully unblock, the Neil family needs the unanimous consent of all the auxiliary families to overturn the former lord's decision. Whether it can be successful or not, and when it will be successful, is no longer Dagon's business. The people of the Neil family were busy with politics, and no one came to send Dagon, so he sent his good brother to the city gate.

The guards of the lord's mansion stopped Doma, and he could not continue to move forward. The two said their final farewell in the middle of the pile of goods piled up by the golden dog Chamber of Commerce, and then one went to the surface and the other to the ground, separating from each other. At Dagon's insistence, Doma stepped out of the field of vision before he entered the passage, so that he could have a second look at Jiangu City. didn't expect Doma whistled, called Junlong, and ran away in three or two, so Dagon had no reason to delay.

Under the city closure order, the passages connecting Jiangu City to the outside world are extremely narrow and rugged sheep intestines, and only one Jiangu clansman can pass through with his stomach and buttocks raised at a time. In order to hold the fair, Lord Neal secretly repaired the narrow road, widened part of the bottleneck, and placed a steel cable overhead for hoisting goods. The Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce uses this steel cable to transport the goods in, and now they have to transport the harvest out. The boxes stacked near the city gate are the workload they have to complete in the past two days.

"Let that dwarf Prince go out first." The Chamber of Commerce people had already made arrangements. "Let him go out to bask in the sun and familiarize himself with the environment of the caravan. It will take more than half a year to walk on the road. The more you run in, the less trouble will arise."

So Dagon directly squeezed into the sequence of cargo handling Go out first. As he walked down the passage, the backpack was slung from a steel cable and dragged away by a rope.

The narrow passage is difficult to pass through, but the surrounding rocks are tightly wrapped, like the earth mother hugging him, it is a familiar sense of security. The front of the passage is getting brighter and brighter, soon surpassing the torch, the lantern and even the lava underground. That should be the power of the "sun", right?

Turning a corner, the tunnel is already bright, but the white light seems to be intensifying. Dagon wondered if it had a limit, and felt a little nervous, as if the sun was using the "sparkle" rune on him. For the first time, Dagon felt a little weak and weak under his feet, and felt that the light enveloped outside was full of terrifying danger. For a moment, he wanted to escape and go back to Underground City, which is familiar and full of affection and warmth, but at the end of the Martial Artist's unwillingness to admit defeat, he raised his left leg and stepped forward, and then raised his right leg to follow.

Turning the final turn, Dagon saw the opening. The sunlight slanted in from the entrance of the cave, like more than a dozen pillars. The naked eye clearly visible dust floating in the pillars, everything becomes clearer and more colorful. Outside the cave, there is no longer another cave or tunnel next to the subterranean environment, but a vast expanse of land. That vast and topless environment like the void gave Dagon boundless a sense of uncertainty and insecurity.

He swallowed with a grunt, trying to hide the trembling of his legs and tugging at the rope. The pack slid the final distance, and Dagon quickly unfastened it, then took the headhunter in his hand. The outside of the cave was filled with cheerful laughter, as well as some whistling and funny ditches, which should be the people of the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce. But Dagon can only rest assured with a weapon in his hand when the Great Desolate beast is in front of him.

On the 1st Step out of the cave, Dagon was directly "attacked" by the sun. The near-noon summer sun was violent and impersonal, without tenderness or modesty, clasping Dagon's head with dazzling rays and scorching heat. Tears flowed down suddenly, and Dagon hurriedly used one hand to build a pergola over his eyebrows to create a little shadow.

For sixty years, Dagon has not seen the sun. Perhaps this is not accurate, because on the way back from Gamoru City, Dagon may have seen the sun in his infant. Under the scorching sun, Dagon slowly but slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ground beneath his feet to adjust to the brightness outside. In the hazy vision, a fragile, swaying white object caught his attention, swaying in the wind as if to welcome and encourage Dagon to the ground. Is that... a flower?
Took a deep breath, Dagon doesn't want to become a fragile creature like a little wild flower, he is a tenacious Jiangu clansman, son and discipline of the Weapon Master. His mother had farmed on the outside land and in the sun, and he could certainly live on the outside land and in the sun.

Removing his hand from his eyebrows, Dagon saw the horizon, the mountain range in the distance and the canyons and plains that stretched down to his feet. The magnificent scenery shocked him. He never thought that the space could be so far away, and the Jiangu people's eyes could see so far. Then, he saw the sky, and the blue, boundless, and undead vast space made him immediately dizzy. At that time, the ground seemed to fall into the sky, and the feeling of falling and spinning poured over his head from the soles of his feet, and Dagon suddenly lost his balance and sat on the ground.

"Hahahaha, the result came out, the dwarf Prince fell."

Laughter came from all directions, and Dagon felt very uncomfortable and a little aggrieved at the same time. He has never seen the sky, the sun and clouds, or such a bright environment, it is normal to not adapt. What are those people laughing at?
However, he did fall down, which is worth laughing. As the father said, they laugh to get happiness, and they get up from mistakes and get lessons, and they are also happy.

"It's all fun then." Dagon shook his head, then stomped his feet on the ground, patted and touched with his hands, the ground outside was a little warmer, but just as strong and heavy, it would definitely support me A Jiangu clansman. He thought to himself, it wasn't the consistent earth or the distant sky that made me fall just now, it was just me. I wanted to fall just now, now I want to get up, I want to stand up straight and steady, who can stop it?

So, he stood up, swallowed, and the pain in his stomach was no longer uncomfortable. Once he stood firm, his field of vision became much wider. Only then did he notice that he was on a gentle slope. The reconnaissance tunnel of Jiangu City is hidden between several large rocks, and four solid guards guard it on all sides. Under the gentle slope covered with grass and wildflowers, twenty or thirty quadrupeds with thin legs and high necks were tied to stone stakes, and beside them were two rows of ten four-wheeled carts.

Golden-tongued Golden Retriever flags flew at the front and back of the caravan, which consisted of about twenty humans, six or seven halflings, and four Jiangu clansman. An earth-yellow-haired halfling stood dancing on a wine barrel, some gleefully taking scraps of paper from him, others foul-mouthed away from him empty-handed. The halfling was yelling "Dwarf Prince, Dwarf Prince" over there, which made people feel noisy.

So he took a deep breath and shouted in the vastness between Heaven and Earth:

"My name is Dagon Olison Neil, Jiangu clansman, I am not the dwarf Prince ."

"The sun-shrouded earth, here I come!"
