"You'll be more adorable to the new shoes I just got."

Doma sat on the stone pier on the side of the road, untied her shoelaces and took off her shoes. It was a pair of gray soft-soled leather shoes. Judging from the color and markings, it should be lizard skin. Since cotton or silkworms are not allowed to be grown underground, leather is the main material for clothes and shoes and hats.

"Your shoes are worn lightly, don't look new?"

"This is my new shoes, but my brother's old shoes." Doma stuffed the shoes into Dagon's hand, took the ripped shoes that could expose their toes, put them directly on his feet, and said, "He completed his apprenticeship not long ago and has become a formal blacksmith. For blind dates, he had to wear a decent dress and changed a set of shells, so I had the opportunity to get these shoes from him."

"Change the shell? How can I say that my brother?" Dagon shook his head and quickly changed his shoes. The situation in the Doma family is very different from that of himself. He has eight siblings, and he can squeeze together in the family. Younger ones can also get supplies replaced by his brothers and sisters. Dagon is the only one, and his adoptive father cannot bear a lot of work due to physical reasons, so his family lives even more difficult.

"Your shoes are a little small, but you can wear them just as much as possible." Dagon tied his shoelaces and stood up and jumped a few times. The gray leather shoes were a little over the feet, but he had to bend his toes and slide down the rock wall anyway, so there was no big problem.

The team to get the water was still moving forward. Without further ado, Dagon tied all the iron barrels of the two people to their bodies with the help of Doma. "I'm going, you should hurry up and surpass a few. At least the people from the Huogu family will not block your way, hehe."

"Get out, if you don't know how to say good things, you're ready to be rocked. I don't want to hear your voice." Doma made a seemingly ferocious strange expression, but it was as scary as he usually was. Nothing was different. When he saw Dagon start rubbing his hands, he knew that he was about to set off, and finally he instructed: "Be careful, don't be too arrogant."

"Don't worry!"

Dagong suddenly accelerated, rushed down the steps, and rushed out at the U-shaped turn. The steps of Jian Gucheng were built along the downward stone wall, and there was generally no difference between them and the cliff. When digging down, Jian Gu people could not be sure where they were suitable for building stable passages, so they always chose multiple constructions and finally preferred them.

Next to the main road is an old abandoned road, which is half a "pattern" concave on the cliff. Between two relatively parallel stone walls, there are still prototypes of steps remaining in some places, roughly along the rock-distributed body, and some uneven support points were created. Later, a better path was found, and these prototypes were abandoned and the scaffolding for construction was demolished. According to the tradition of the Jiangu people, this abandoned road should be completely flattened to reduce the routes that can be passed up and down in the city and reduce the pressure on defense.

That's it, but firstly, there is no pressure for the enemy to invade in Jian Gucheng, and secondly, everyone is racking their brains to find ways to fill their stomachs, so they have no time to do this "repaying" thing. The lord of the Neil family wisely mentioned this matter, and everyone wisely pretended not to know, so that Dagon was very unwise to rush to the abandoned road.

It seemed as if the skin filled with water hit the ground. With a bang, Dagon slapped the entire mountain wall. He first trembled, then slowly flowed down a little, but fortunately it finally stopped. His two big hands clamped the mountain wall tightly, and everyone could see the swollen veins on the back of his hand, and red fingers and white joints. In the places where he could not see, ten toes used all their strength, and even his chin was hung on a slightly protruding platform so that the muscles at the neck could play the role of leverage and winch.

"I was careless and almost fell and died." Dagon's heart was pounding, but he did not dare to breathe hard, mainly because he was afraid of expanding his chest and abdomen to squeeze himself off the mountain wall. "The impact of these iron barrels was greater than expected, but fortunately they did not completely lose balance."

He moved his body a little, adjusted his position to stabilize it in a more comfortable position, and then observed the surroundings. Although he had thought about how to go next, he had to calibrate the direction, angle and speed again on the mountain wall. When observing, his eyes just swept through his hands, and accidentally discovered that the fingers that had the greatest strength had fallen into the rock, and they had even lost consciousness!

No! Dagon suppressed the brief panic in his heart and observed it again. The fingers were not "sinking" into the rock, but the rock climbed onto the fingers. When you looked carefully, you could notice the slight difference between the two. It was clearly the shape of the rock itself, which became soft and tough, and had a slight deformation at the part that was in contact with the fingers, and it was actively wrapped like glue.

This small change produced a huge auxiliary effect. Dagon's hand was not snatching the rock, but holding the rock, which greatly increased the power he could exert. In terms of muscle abilities, Dagon could lift both of himself with his arms, but whether there was an environmental condition to exert this power was more critical. This slight change in the stone wall was not accidental, but the natural presentation of the magic power of the earth element. Dagon had seen it from his father, but this was the first time he had shown this ability.

"Isn't it possible to show mana only after the adulthood ceremony?"

The adulthood ceremony is not a simple process, but consists of a series of practical and important trials. First, you must deepen the review of the tradition of the Jiangu clan by taking care of your beard, then choose a profession and prove your ability in profession. Then you enter the formal naming ceremony presided over by the lord, get the beard ring, and pray to the corresponding gods of the Jiangu clan according to your profession. At this time, a Jiangu clan member is truly under the blessing of the gods and can stimulate his own magic power.

Every creature has more or less magic power, including two states of exterior and restraint. This innate magic power type is related to the environment in which they lived for a long time and the blood inheritance of their ancestors. Because the Jiangu people lived underground for a long time, the upper, lower, left and right were mainly earth elements, and almost all the Jiangu people would have magic power in the direction of earth elements. Some Jiangu people would also show magic power in the direction of gold elements, which of course is related to underground mineral veins. The two elements of earth and gold are quite consistent with the profession direction of warriors and blacksmiths, and are most common among Jiangu people.

However, underage shows that elemental manifestation is not common, and it is quite uncommon.

"This is not a good thing." Dagon took a breath and quickly pulled his finger out of the rocks so that others could not see it. His eyes were dodging, for fear of colliding with the sights of the Jian Gu people not far away, for fear that they would feel guilty. Because of this, he quickly began to slide down the mountain wall, and with the help of the abandoned ladder, he took the shortcuts as much as possible to get ahead.

The Jiangu people have to "name" with the gods of the race and can only exert their magic power after receiving blessings, but this is not the case for some races, such as monsters.

"It's not that the blood abilities of monsters are revealed at this time..." When Dagong thought of this, he felt his scalp numb, and sweat beads immediately popped up. "I am Jian Gu, not a monster. If it is a monster, I can't enter the hunting team. How can I let my parents live a good life of eating, drinking and wearing warm clothes? No, I must not be discovered."

"I'm about to...even if I fall down, as long as I don't die or get seriously injured, it's much better than the appearance of my mana at this time."

With a thousand regrets in his heart, he could only look at the front of him, take one step at a time, and place everything on being able to survive the adult ceremony. Once he entered the hunting team, his mana would be exposed and would only benefit, and he could also increase his combat power to a higher level.

Everyone has mana, but not everyone can expose mana, let alone use mana for combat. Monsters rely on the accumulation of growth and the outbreak of crisis moments, and the Jiangu people rely on long-term and continuous learning and training. The combat skills training Dagon received from his adoptive father Tormond is to lay the foundation for the future use of mana, but there is no course for actually stimulating and using mana. All Jiangu people, no matter how talented they are, have to wait for the adult ceremony to expose their mana, without exception.

Dagon was worried about mana on the wall, while others were worried about him. The Jiangu people who were marching on the steps soon discovered the "wild boar" trying to take a shortcut, and they all reminded him to be careful. In addition to a few simple words "Be careful and come back quickly", more are prompts based on insight and experience.

"Walk the broken road on the left, it's strong!" Some people looked more comprehensive and clear from the perspective of bystanders. "Don't go to the right. I saw cracks on the rocks there, and I'm afraid it's loose. Yes, that piece of granite is an integrated structure, which can definitely hold on to you, the reckless child!"

The noise above attracted the attention of the people below, and the girls of the Huogu family also raised their heads. They saw Dagon moving forward in the indentation of the mountain wall, sometimes bounced, sometimes slipped, sometimes climbed and fell, and they all clapped and even blew whistles. This is an amazing praise and will not be given easily, especially the unmarried Jiangu women, who are particularly stingy with this kind of praise whistle, so it is not surprising that everyone rumored that the Gangzhu family wanted to marry the Huogu family.

Usually, Dagon is very proud of his face and always accepts praise from others without hesitation. But at this time he has no intention of listening to the whistle? First, concentrate on rushing down from the mountain wall safely and quickly, and take this opportunity to press down on the things that are exposed in the mana to the bottom of his heart, so as not to reveal flaws. This is the most important thing. The whistle, even if it penetrates one ear, will drill out of Dagon's ear on the other.

"So brave," said a girl from the Huogu family without hesitation: "There are so many people rolling on the ground, and they can roll on the wall and roll so well. Sisters, Cheng Rong Cheng Rong."

"What are you going to give up? You're not on the wall!" Although the red-haired sister beside her was relatively short, she had a very high temper. "You're talking nonsense again, look at me poking your ribs!"
