Chapter 141 North by Northeast

The convoy headed north, and luck might always balance itself, so the journey suddenly became smooth. They did not encounter lords who wanted to kill good things, nor did they have powerful thunderstorms in nature, no Chimera, and no monsters that rushed out of their nests. Although they encountered bears twice, their wheels broke three or four times, and there were also several untrustworthy people who did not want to pay off their debts, these were not really troublesome.

Since having a good conversation with Reed, Dagon no longer puts doubts and sorrow first, cheers up again, and intensifies his training every day. Even if he is a divine enlightener, becoming a priest is not that simple, especially in the stage of mana accumulation. The daily cycle practice is very boring, and the sitting and walking postures have been completed, followed by standing and lying postures.

Maybe you will ask: What's the difficulty of standing and lying? If you are at home, it is not difficult to do these two movements simply, but Dagon is in the convoy and he is always moving. The carriage is not stable, the ground is never flat, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes left and sometimes right, and the constant bumps can affect or even break the mana cycle.

This reminded him of the time he was training with his father. At that time, there were boring training events, such as slashing five thousand times and stabbing five thousand times. If you focus on every move, analyze the problem in time and make adjustments, boredom is not a big problem, the main problem is interference.

Tormond was physically disabled and had not enough power to beat Dagon, but he had definitely the power to make trouble. He poked his legs with a pole, suddenly scared him, plucked his weapons, and threw the hair falling from Kuku at the back of his ear. These interferences made Dagon suffer, but it was precisely because of overcoming these interferences that Dagon's martial arts could be steadily improved.

Now, the constantly bumping vehicles have become new interference. Dagon must concentrate and leave redundancy to constantly deal with sudden changes. He must stand firmly in the forward car and steadily run his mana. He cannot stand dead like a sculpture, it should be like water in a cup, which must not only fight and borrow force, but also cannot escape the tolerance of the mana cycle.

However, simply confrontation is not smart, so Dagon tried to practice while the convoy was camping at night and take a nap while driving during the day. After several actions, his wallet was much more bulging than when he left home. The income of a silver coin per vigil was no longer as important as training and resting.

In addition to the mana cycle, "earth listening" is also the focus of training. Dagon devotes all his extra mana to "earth listening" and strives to fully master this ability as soon as possible. With the increase of training, the organs activated by the gods gradually become stronger. Now the mana input is no longer as numb and itchy as before, but is less and less, which means that they have become increasingly integrated into the body system.

It is not easy to cultivate a new sense, and it is even more difficult than having to train hearing and touch after sudden blindness. Dagon focused his training on discrimination ability, and could not only allow "earth hearing" to provide information about "whether there is anything" but also what it is.

A smell of rice came. Some people only knew that it was eaten, some people could know what they were eaten, what spices were added, and what cooking techniques were used. If an invisible enemy launched an attack, they could not only know what weapons the attacker used, what combat skills he used, and where his weakness was.

When focusing on one thing, time seems to get faster, and the world wants to slip away quickly. The Golden Dog Caravan leaves the scope of Heshan City and enters the eastern country through the levels. Dagon even knows nothing about it. He does not focus on the "most prosperous country of mankind" outside, but gives nature, mana and elements.

From early summer to late summer, carrying the goods re-purchased from the East, the Golden Dog Caravan finally arrived at Badabao, which is the most difficult place on the entire road. The towering mountains run across the east and west, and the turbulent deep ravine always reminds the threats on the road. In the area, every uphill and downhill, every bridge must be carefully passed, and weight bearing and balance are very critical indicators. Sometimes, in order to reduce danger, some goods must be unloaded from the car and carried separately on people and horses. Frequent uphill and downhill goods and frequent parking inspections will definitely delay a lot of time.

However, this is an alpine environment, and the terrain power of the earth element is very strong, which is suitable for Dagon's practice. When the convoy stops to cross the bridge one by one, Dagon will come down and stand up against the cliff, and at the same time activates mana and earth's hearing.

The hearing of the earth can penetrate the rocks, but the loss is only the detection distance. Since no other sense can see the rocks, the hearing of the earth must play its role alone, which is a good opportunity to exercise "discrimination ability". Dagon searches for tree roots behind the rocks, searches for soil and bugs in the gaps, but he also accidentally found a burden that is quite old.

Cut off the trees standing on the rock side, cleared the soil, and moved the rock below. One of them was obviously placed by man-made stone slabs and exposed. Everyone lifted the stone slabs and found what Dagon mentioned. Inside were some gold and silver jewelry and precious utensils, such as sterling silver candlesticks and dressing boxes inlaid with gems. The things were very expensive, but the package outside was just a scattered bag. Everyone thought it might be a stolen item, unlike the original owner of the item hiding here.

"I've been there for many years, and it's at least fifteen years to see how rusted these iron parts are," Maipu said with great certainty after careful inspection: "Although the items are expensive, there are no marks on them, and the standards are very common, so it's very easy to take action. Dagon, this is what you found..."

"According to the rules of the caravan, I can't sell it myself," said Dagon.

"Okay, I'll record your account first, and then pay dividends when you have the opportunity to sell it." Maipu looked at the account book and said, "I estimated it, there may be five or six hundred gold coins from the Eastern Kingdom."

"Unexpected fortune." Dagon just smiled faintly. He turned to ask Geros: "What should I do if I want to send the money to my parents?"

"Send it to your adoptive parents in Jian'an Ancient City?" Geros had already asked the matter at Dagon's house. He shook his head and said, "As long as Jian'an Ancient City is still locked down, this matter will be very difficult and it is impossible to be urgent. But we will return to the vicinity of Jian'an Ancient City next year to see what's going on there, and we can try to send money to you."

"Then do it like this, don't forget to exchange it for the Jingu tribe's gold coins."

"Maip, this matter is recorded in the account." Geros called out to Dagon, who was about to go back to practice, and said, "Don't worry, there is something to discuss with you."

"you say."

"According to previous years' experience, the road to Bada Castle will take at least one month. The next stop is Wolf Eye Castle, a castle jointly managed by elves and humans. From Wolf Eye Castle, you can go directly to Semi-Namilis for about two months, and you will arrive in winter. However, from Wolf Eye Castle, you can quickly reach the Dog Tooth Fortress, where the earth dwarves in the north are guarding against the northern barbarians."

"I know the Canine Tooth Fortress, it is only a single arrow from the Orc Barbarian Fortress, and it is a place where small battles are constantly occurring all day long. All the Jian Gu tribes there live on the ground, which is very different from the Jian Gu tribes in the south." Dagon then thought about it and understood Geros' intention. "Do you want to go to the Canine Tooth Fortress?"

"In order to avoid the threat of Manlin, the caravan quickly passed Mawang Bay, and the caravan lost a lot. Go to the Dog Tooth Fortress, sell the items from the East Country, and collect the goods from the Dog Tooth Fortress, so that you can make up for the losses when you arrive in Seonamilis and make more money, so that everyone can spend the winter well." Geros said at the same time: "In addition to this, Cang Tooth Fortress has the best dwarf craftsmen in the entire north, and is the best choice for processing Chimerape - of course, if you like the elf style, then Seonamilis is the first choice."

"You only need the first reason to go to the Canine Fortress." Dagon said with a smile: "According to the requirements of the clan meeting, I can just report this year. It's just autumn and there's still time. As long as you don't think I'm deliberately delaying, just give me a reward."

"Ha, that's definitely not." Geros said: "If you really run away, I will only give you a reward of 10 gold coins. Whoever wants to find it! If that person really finds you, he will definitely be in short supply of money. Just send him 10 gold coins."

"There is no spare money." Dagon knew that Jerous was joking, so he continued to practice after laughing.

Passing twenty bridges, crossing thirty peaks, the valley suddenly filled with jingling sounds. People shouted in the valley, and the winch creaked, and the rocks and soil fell down. Dagon was curious when he heard the movement outside, and opened the carriage and looked out, and saw the construction team of Bada Castle working on the mountain not far away.

Construction teams with a population of 5,000 are rarely seen, and can be described as almost everywhere, and this is just a construction site. Geros introduced that Badaburgh has always had the desire to build a road that is well connected. They continued to dig on the mountain, hoping to build a road that allows the carriage to go straight in both directions. This road cannot have too steep heights and undulations. All the bridges passing through must be hard support bridges, and cannot be swaying suspension bridges. They spent ten years choosing the route, and the entire project would probably take 60 years to build.

"It's not enough time for a generation of humans to spend, and this project is too hard and dangerous. Fortunately, with the strong assistance of the Jiangu people, the stonemasons, blacksmiths and architects at the Canine Fortress have been here for a long time, guiding and working, which has allowed the humans in Bada Castle to see the hope of completion." Geros said: "It's a pity, I guess I can't wait for the day it's completed..."

Dagon put his hands on his hips and stroked his beard with the other. He looked at the project from afar. He felt that he could not see enough, and he felt that it was not what it was at the beginning, so he asked, "How long will it take to complete?"

"Twenty-five years." Geros smiled and said, "I didn't mean that I would die in twenty-five years, but at that time I saved enough money and stopped doing this. Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers without monsters, plow the fields and eat by yourself, and there are children running around me. That's great."

"You can solve the child's part first." Dagon has learned how to tell jokes in a human way after following the convoy for so long. "Does Tess know your ambitions?"

"Ha! If she didn't know, no one would know." Geros looked at Dagon with a slanted eye and said, "I found that you were in a very good mood today, even your posture and momentum were different. What's wrong? Seeing such a project, the Jiangu tribe's hands were itchy?"

"I know that the Jiangu tribe can build new things, of course I will be in a good mood. Jeros, who designed and organized the entire project?"

"It seems like an elf. I forgot what my name is, but I can be sure that it has something to do with Seonamilis."
