"Dagon, we have prepared armor shirts for you. Do you see if they fit?"

Early in the morning, Corona called on the child and laid a patched armor lining on the stone table. This armor lining is actually a light chain armor shirt, filled with grated and compacted rags and broken leather in the vertical and horizontal partitions, and then tightened and riveted with two layers of leather, and installed a few simple armor pieces or metal thin rods on the outside of the sleeves, shoulders, chest and side ribs. If you only do the lining, there will be no armor pieces and thin rods. Its advantage is that it is lighter than breastplates, scales or plate armor, but its protection ability is a little less.

A truly good armor needs to be tailored, which is much more expensive than tailored weapons. Not to mention now, even when Tormond is not injured, his family's income cannot be customized at will. It must be accumulated for many years.

It is not that the weapon master has a low income, but that the Jian Gu tribe's armor has a high level of armor and has more smelting and manufacturing skills inside, so it makes sense that it is expensive. In Jian Gu City, this armor lining is nothing, but if it is outside, it is also a pretty good armor.

"Dagon, what are you doing? Come here quickly." The mother urged him again, and then she saw Dagon shaking. She noticed the child's dark circles and tired look at the first glance. "You didn't sleep well last night? Are you so excited?"

"Ah? Well!" Dagon nodded: "Fallen from the bed and didn't fall asleep afterwards."

"This is not good, you have to keep your spirits up." Corona picked up the armor shirt and put it on Dagon's chest. "Well, I think it's about the same, but you still have to try it."

While yawning, Dagon put himself in his clothes. The armored shirt is slightly weighted, and it feels strong and safe when worn on his body. Through the shoulders, four straps on his chest and abdomen, the weight of the clothes can be borne by the entire upper body, and basically does not affect the body's movement.

"Turn your arms and let me see." Corona tugged here and then nodded. "Well, she is in good condition. Take off her belt first, and I'll adjust your belt for you. Do you want to go to sleep? You don't need to work today."

"I haven't gone to feed Kuku yet." Dagon pointed to the backyard. Their bear lizard had long been lying at the door, and from time to time stretched his tongue out from under the crack of the door, indicating that he was hungry.

"No need, go to bed, I'll feed it."

Corona touched the top of Dagon's head. In two days, Dagon will not be a child and will become the pillar of the family.

At this time, Tormond's scolding came from the bedroom: "Don't spoil him, let him feed the bear lizard. There is nothing else today? Dagon, go to the Temple of Orli today and adjust your mood. What does a warrior who cannot calm down look like?"

"Oh, OK." Dagon rubbed his cheeks hard, and then said, "Can I ride Kuku?"

"The hunting team will take you to the bear lizard nest, and you will soon have your own mount. The underage Jian Gu people cannot drive bear lizards, so you should be honest!"

Corona also said, "Yes, listen to Tommond. I know you can ride, but that's different from showing the ability to ride in public."

If it weren't for the long tongue under the crack of the door, Dagon might have fought for it again.

The bear lizard is a big lizard with a size similar to a horse and a bear-like power. It is a stubborn but friendly underground creature with affinity with the power of earth element, so it is quite close to the Jian Gu people. Under the witness of the God of Aureus, the bear lizard can reach a contract with the Jian Gu people until the end of their lives and face the test of life together.

Jian Gu raised bear lizards as mounts, and bear lizards grew and reproduced under the protection of Jian Gu. This relationship has lasted for thousands of years. In the underground biosphere, bear lizards have not been strong in combat, and are generally driven away and prey. The combat power of Jian Gu tribe is not difficult to suppress all wildlife. However, Jian Gu has two major shortcomings, and they must be overcome with the help of bear lizards.

First of all, Jian Gu people were not a race that was good at climbing. Although they lived underground, they were basically tunnels and caves, but this did not allow Jian Gu people to have the ability to absorb on stone walls or climb on the ceiling. When digging underground cities, Jian Gu people had to use rope ladders, lifting wells, scaffolding and other tools to work. The bear lizard had suction cups on its six feet and had extremely strong crawling ability.

Another is the fatal disadvantage of Jian'an ancients: they sink when they enter the water. It is said that Jian'an ancients are as strong as rocks, so when they fall into the water, they are really rocks. Except for newborn children, almost no Jian'an ancients can float. Using magic power or acquired training skills, Jian'an ancients may be able to swim for a short distance, but they are too close to rocks and metals, so they will eventually go to the bottom of the water. Only by using external objects - such as the bear lizards who are good at swimming - can Jian'an ancients cross underground rivers and lakes and continuously expand their own fields.

"Kuku, today is still dry moss." Dagon likes to put his hands on his head when feeding the bear lizard. "Wait until I go to the hunting team, will you bring you a hole rat back to improve your life?"

The bear lizard at home lowered his head and tried to chew dry moss with his arc-shaped teeth, but ignored him.

Everyone was hungry, and even the bear lizard could eat dry moss that tasted so good. Dagon was also hungry, but now it was not time to eat, so he could only bear it anymore, or go to the temple to see his luck, and maybe he could have a meal with the priest there. Although he was nominally the adopted son of the lord, he had never eaten a bite at the lord's house. From the beginning of memory, he had lived in the Steel Cast home, with his parents Tormond and Corona. His biggest bond with the Neil family was a potato flour ration that was given monthly.

In the future, there will be more relationships: for example, after becoming a hunter, you have to pay taxes to the lord, you have to be recruited and become soldiers during wars, and you have to repair Jian'an Ancient City in the form of labor every year, etc. This is true for every adult Jian'an Ancient City residents, and no exception is.

His stomach started screaming again, reminding him not to be late. Dagon put the dry moss feed, patted Kuku's back, and then slipped out of the house and headed towards the temple.

Today, I was lucky. All underage children could be divided into porridge made with potato flour. Dagong is the oldest among children, and his body shape seemed a bit abrupt. However, the Jiangu people paid great attention to traditions and rules. If they did not perform adulthood rituals, they would be underage, so they did not drive him out, and of course they did not give him more because of his large appetite.

Holding a bowl of potato flour porridge the same size as other children, Dagon lowered his head and ate it slowly, and used this time to think about a question: Should I ask myself what's going on in my dream?

The priests of the temple all possess the power of divine art, that is, outside the five basic elements, they will use the energy channel called "spiritual channel". All the powers from high-level powerful wisdom enter the user's body from this "spiritual channel", echoing the elemental power and the "soul power" generated by their own souls. The five elements plus souls and spirits constitute the main components of all spells.

Cultivate the heart and let the soul resonate with the spirit. Every magic caster must conduct this training, so Dagon feels that they can guide themselves in their knowledge of dreams. But at this critical moment, if the secret of their magic power is exposed and then the monster bloodline awakening is revealed, wouldn't that be bad?

He lowered his head to drink porridge, looked up and looked at the holy emblems hanging everywhere in the Temple of Orli. After thinking about it, Dagon still felt that it would be wonderful not to say it. As long as he survived the adult ceremony and obtained the qualification of a hunting team, it would be better to explain the dreams and mana. In "Scroll of Steel Cast", Aolis solemnly promised that he would bless every descendant of Jiangu, but Dagon did not remember that Jiangu, who had not said that he had mixed bloodlines of other races, would receive the same blessing, and even did not know whether he would be blessed.

Dagon kept silent and drank the potato powder at the same speed as other children, packed the tableware in a regular manner, and then walked out of the temple alone to the feet of the statue of Aureus. He knelt under the statue of Aureus on one knee, holding the toes of one statue of Aureus and pressing the other hand on his chest.

"Origo, I can only pray to you silently in my heart and confess my current thoughts to you." Dagon carefully confides his thoughts: "I dare not go to your pastor, but I dare not hide from you. I need your blessing to allow me to use my own hands to provide a better life for my family."

"My physique is different from other Jiangu people, which leads to my appetite and never eating enough, but I have not become greedy because of this." Dagon prayed: "My heart and my spirit have always been Jiangu people, and they know how to tolerate and humble. My parents, Tormond and Corona of the Steel Cast Family, are all very good people. They take their all their strength to take care of me, and more importantly, educate me - all my beauty is given by them, and I am willing to dedicate all my beauty to them."

"God Auri, if my monster blood will one day disturb my mind and body, please let it be later, slower, so that I can take good care of my parents first and give them a good and happy life. If I will fall, please let the fall happen after they leave the mortal world peacefully and perfectly, and have reunited under your knees, don't let them be sad for me. God Auri, I swear, even if the blood of the monster finally erodes me and makes me worse than beasts, I will only bite the enemy of the Jiangu tribe."

"God Auri, I don't ask you to arrange everything for me after I'm overcoming difficulties. I'm about to carry out the coming-of-age ceremony. I'm willing to become a qualified Jiangu tribe. Not a monster, not a monster, definitely not a monster."

Under the statue of the god, after completing the prayer in his heart, Dagon felt much more at ease, and the pressure was not as great as when he couldn't sleep before. He stood up and found that there were more people around him, many of whom were also going to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. Among the many faces, Doma's ugly face was the easiest to distinguish, especially when he was still laughing.

Everyone came to pray, hoping that God Oli would bless him. This is also a custom. Adult rituals are not available every year. After all, every time the lord needs to take out some beard rings with magic effects. That is a rune, and it is also a considerable expense! This time, young people in the past five years will come to the adult rituals, so there are a lot of people coming to pray today. Dagon hurriedly let go of the place for others, and he decided to go back and have a good sleep.

Now he feels that he can get a good rest.
