Rune tools are good things. Dagon has long agreed with this concept when he heard this sentence countless times from his father. If you want to be invincible, in addition to exercising your body and practicing martial arts, you also have to apply your mana to rune tools to exert effects that cannot be produced by the body and sharp blades alone.

According to an example, the headhunting axe is a rune, which can give the user a great advantage when facing a charge. If you want to take advantage of the rune, you must provide it with appropriate mana and operate it in the correct way. Spells are actually the same principle, and rune machines are an extremely simplified version of spells.

"I can't use mana yet, so I can't activate the flashing rune?"

"Everyone can use mana, but idiots in this world have never thought about the truth." Reed raised his old hand and pointed at Dagon and said, "In the future, every time you look in the mirror, you will say to yourself, 'I am idiot, I want to think' to wake yourself up. Mana is like air and water, it enters from your mouth and comes out from behind your butt. You won't use mana? You just won't use your mana according to other people's methods."

"Well... what you said makes sense, but I don't understand very well. You seem to be hinting that I don't use other people's methods to use mana. Why is that?" Dagon asked: "Are those proven methods not good? Is it not someone else's methods you taught me?"

"The methods used by Jian Gu clan cannot be said to be bad now. They can only say that they pay too much attention to ingenuity and become technologies that only float on the surface without original connotation. Since you are in the state of enlightenment of the gods, I suggest you re-stroke how to use mana from the most primitive stage."

Dagon shook his head: "This method sounds stupid. I will do it again after all the methods that the previous god enlightener has figured out? I don't have that time and energy, and I don't have that kind of wisdom. My magic power can be used, and it can bring a good life to my family. Even... it can make me live."

Reed seemed to have expected that Dagon would have such thoughts. He shook his head and explained calmly: "At the beginning, did the divine enlighteners face the same situation as they are now? The environment at that time, the danger at that time, the problems they have to solve at that time are the same as they are now?"

Dagon grabbed his beard, thought about it carefully, and then shook his head: "My history is not good, but I think the situation faced by the earliest Jiangu ancestors tens of thousands of years ago must be different from the present. After all, the descendants have made a lot of progress and have not had the initial hardship. What do you mean is that the current situation has changed, but the basis for research on spells and runes has not changed, and even a skewed technology has been developed based on the fact that they are no longer adapted to the current environment?"

"Very good! Great! My expectations are correct!" Reed smiled, then laughed loudly. Because of the laughter, his shoulders trembled, and his feet kept tapping on the ground.

As he smiled, Reed started crying again. The four-line tears slid down on his wrinkled face and were wiped away by him with his palm. He sucked his nose and said with his red eyes: "The basis of all mana is the same, very, very simple. You concentrate and let your willpower directly control the body and surpass the body. At this time, mana will be mobilized and move naturally to all surfaces of the body. Mana will be from the inside to the outside, and it will gather to the top of the limbs, that is, fingers and toes. At this time, as long as you place your fingers on the runes, there will be mana to activate the runes to produce effects. When the effect is generated, don't be nervous, follow the feeling."

Dagon listened carefully, then showed an incredible expression: "Call out the mana first, and then just point a little finger? That's so simple?"

"Yes, that's that simple." Reed said: "The initial mana was like hitting with fists and biting with teeth. It was that simple. Although it was simple, it was not efficient and had many restrictions. So people later studied wooden sticks, stone hammers, that is, those spells. When it developed to the present, the training of priests, the factions of mages, etc., they were all carved patterns on the original wooden sticks and stone hammers. Is it right? It's right. As for..."

Reed suddenly stopped talking and ended the topic. He raised his hand, pointed his index finger at Dagon's jaw, and said, "This time I will tell you the answer directly: The flash is here. Okay, the time is up, wake up."

Dagon took a deep breath, then closed his eyes. His body burned, then split into dozens of fire snakes, and quickly flew into the surrounding fire circle. Dagon didn't know that he disappeared like this every time, nor did he know that the process was reversed before every appearance.

When Dagon disappeared, Reed snorted and sat on the stone pier and crossed his legs. His face was impatient, and his expression was more like a young man than an old man. Just opposite him, the mist on the ground condensed upwards, forming six short and sturdy images.

Without waiting for these Jiangu figures to do anything, Reed spoke first: "Long time no see, the dwarf gods. Are you here to see if I am a prisoner?"

One of them looked the largest beard and the shortest shadow said: "You were an outsider who broke into the world. It was your luck to have a soul domain to give you shelter, not ours. I, Jiangu tribe, don't want to imprison you, but I can't let you go, let alone sacrifice the lives of Jiangu tribes and give you his body. Even if you are a prisoner, you are not a prisoner of our Jiangu tribe. If you have a way to leave, you will leave."

"I can't leave." Reed said: "I don't blame you. I just think you are jailers. You can take care of me but can't let me go. Tell me, what's going on when I suddenly disturb me this time?"

"You know it in your heart."

"Don't play such a dumb puzzle, it's boring." Reed scratched his scalp, then looked at the Jiangu god opposite him with a wink. "What do you do when you look at me like this? I've agreed before that Dagon is adult and his magic power is awakened, and I can chat with him. I've been trapped for sixty years. What's wrong with talking?"

"In the previous agreement, what you have to do is teach him what you know and bring him to the Jiangu clan, so that the Jiangu clan will regain glory, rather than teach him to you!" The Jiangu gods formed by the black shadow said: "From the oldest Neil family, the eldest son of this generation of Neil family, becomes kings in the hopes of everyone, this is the most destined choice."

Reed shook his head, waved his hand, and said, "I am not interested in your arrangements. I only teach according to my own ideas. And don't worry, even if I take out all my skills and use all my scheming, I can't turn Dagon into me. His thoughts...some of his thoughts even exceeded my expectations. Is this called naiveness, or some other trait I haven't seen clearly?"

"We will continue to observe, don't cross the line." The black shadow gradually disappeared, leaving a sentence: "You have not many days in your life, cherish it."

The shadow disappeared, Reed curled his lips and said, "I am not a dwarf, so I will not live long. But if you hadn't intervened, I could have lived with the dwarf's body and had a lifespan of four or five hundred years. If I had a body, the world would have been different."

Even though he has ambitions, he has long been worn out. In Dagon's soul realm for sixty years, Reed could not affect anything, and could only watch the fire alone. Now that Dagon is an adult, his magic power has the potential to completely control the soul realm and can threaten Reed's life at any time.

"Just a trace of residual soul, is this considered life?" Reed smiled bitterly, curled up, and gradually transformed into one with the stone pier under his seat.

On the other hand, Dagon opened his eyes and was immediately filled with a sip of water. He coughed violently, and splashed water with body temperature from his nostrils.

"I'm still alive, indeed..." Dagon looked around and found himself soaked in the water, shaking with the water flow. The reason why he was not washed away by the water flow was because an ice cube stranded in the shallow exposed by the underground river channel. The hunting axe was hooked on the ice, and his arm was still entangled with the belt, which was connected to the hunting axe.

The ice was melting and it would float again soon, and he would lose this fulcrum. Without further ado, Dagon tried to concentrate and command the muscles to obey the instructions.

People will quickly lose body temperature in ice water, causing their body to lose control, and ultimately unable to save themselves. The Jiangu people are tough and can hold on for a longer time, but they cannot be immune to frostbite. Dagon wanted to raise his hand and step on his legs, but his limbs were not moved at all.

If it were other young people in the hunting trial, there was no way to imagine at this time, but Dagon was different from them. He was able to show his mana. Although his concentration will not control his muscles, it caused a reaction to mana. Dagon felt a resilience, very thick and fire-like passionate force emanating from the heart, running through his limbs along his blood vessels and rushing to the tip of his fingers.

"Hot? It's really life-saving warmth..."

The mana with heat seemed to have energized Dagon's muscles and ordered all parts to start working. He found that he could slowly move his hands and feet. At the same time, he found that the heart-wrenching pain came out from all over the body. Restoring perception and also regaining pain. Pain can always make people feel alive more than numbness.

Dagon began to climb upwards, and the hunting axe was his hope for survival. After three minutes, he finally moved forward for half a meter. At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his knees. It turned out that he had hit the bottom of the river. With this feeling, he quickly changed his strategy, greedily kissed the bottom of the river with his feet, and used the stinging pain as a blind guide stick. In this way, he stood up again, and the river water had just surpassed his waist.
