Chapter 40 You have to be Neil

Lord Antoine Neil looked up and down at Dagon and signaled him to stand up straight. "Are you spontaneously showing the two elements of mana, fire and earth? Very good - so you will be more qualified."

The lord's reception room was filled with propaganda materials that demonstrated the great achievements of the Neil family, paintings, tapestries, sculptures, weapons and armor, and biographies with exquisitely printed golden letters on the cover were filled with shelves. These made Dagon feel out of place and rejected. "What's the qualification? Is the adult ceremony?" Dagon restrainedly retracted his gaze, and the lord's question made him a little difficult to understand.

The lord did not answer, but walked straight to Doma and patted his shoulder. "Doma of Doma, I remember you, it seems that you have been to the Lord's Mansion, right?"

"Reply to Lord Lord, you are right. I have collected fertilizer for the mushroom and potato field and have been to the Lord's Mansion many times. There are more... here."

Antoine looked embarrassed, Dagon tried hard to hold back his laughter, both of his faces were red.

"Well...uh...good kid...work well and live well after adulthood, and this is yours." Lord Antoine took out a beard ring and put it in Doma's hand. It was a half-finger hollow silver cylinder, which was cross-sectioned into three parts with relief. On the upper and lower sides are the blessings of the God of Aure and the historical honorary title of Jian's ancient city. The middle is temporarily blank and the owner's name will be carved.

"The craftsman is in the craftsman's area of ​​the castle. Just ask the servants outside to take you there. Dagon and I have something to say, and you are not needed here, Doma."

"Thank you, Lord Lord, I'll go now." Doma winked at Dagon before leaving, probably to wait for him at the silversmith.

The door of the house was closed, Lord Antoine walked to a corner of the house, stopped in front of the display stand with the armor of the Neil family's predecessors, and said to Dagon: "Are you thinking about why you want to keep you? The reason is very simple. You are from this family. Come on, please feel free to touch this plate armor. If you like it, you can give it to you."

Dagong touched it, good steel and good structure. The dome armor can greatly deflect and disperse the impact force, and the joints in various places take into account protection and flexibility. In the steel with different thicknesses and distributions according to the function, the marks of runes can be vaguely seen. It is very likely that this is a rune. But this is a good plate armor given to himself? Dagong felt a little scared, so he took his hand back.

"I don't want it," said Dagon. "The good plate armor is made for specific owners, and this one is obviously not mine."

"It's not mine, either." Antoine smiled, and the curve of the corners of her mouth trembled. He said, "Don't worry, I'm just asking. I'll contribute to the Neil family just like you, so that the stable operation of the ancient city can be guaranteed. Can you understand this?"

Dagon felt that there were something hidden in the Lord's words today that made him worry, so he replied: "Lord, thanks to your management over the years, there has been no trouble in Jian Gucheng."

"But the current situation of Jian Gucheng is not good, and the development prospects are not good, and the same is true for the Neil family. I need more people to help me, and you are a good choice." Antoine said: "I don't go around in circles with you. You are already an adult and have good abilities. Whether it is martial arts or elemental talents, including your momentary decision when you dare to act and your courage to think about your companions. You have proved that you are a member of the Neil family."

"Lord, my last name is Olison."

"Not anymore. I have officially signed the document to restore your Neil surname and accept you as a member of the family." Antoine said: "Dagon, you are the adopted son of the former lord. I am just an outsider. I have never been able to give you the official Neil surname. Fortunately, you performed well and proved yourself in the adult trial, so I have room for operation."

Dagon scratched his head and asked, "Has there been any change?"

"There are more opportunities for development." Antoine pointed to the armor and other items beside the wall and said, "Dagon, your life in the Steel Cast Family is not very good? I heard you often don't have enough food?"

"I have too much appetite and can't eat enough anywhere."

"If such an armor is sold, it can be exchanged for food for the Steel-Cam family to eat for ten years." Antoine said: "There is no shortage of craftsmen in Jian'an Ancient City, but what is lacking is the opportunity to trade with the outside world. There are the best rune craftsmen here, but everyone still can't eat enough. This is my responsibility."

In fact, it was caused by the Closing Order, Dagon knew it well. Antoine, this sturdy Jiangu tribe, has a deep golden gaze, a wide nose and a long golden beard. He has always been gentle to Dagon. Although he has not taken special attention, he has not hated and made things difficult for him. He has always been an honest and fair person, which has been recognized by everyone, but why did he lie about the responsibility for the Closing Order?

"I'm trying to find a way to lift the lockdown order, at least open a channel for goods trade. Relying on mushrooms and potatoes and hunting alone, the people in Jian Gucheng cannot eat enough, the children will become thinner and the adults will be weak and weak. You join the hunting team to eat more and bring some extra for the steel cast couple." Antoine said: "Extra... This is a very interesting word. Why can the hunting team get extra food? Have you ever thought about it?"

Dagon shook his head and he began to feel nervous.

"Hunting has to face the threat of nature, and may also encounter monster-polluting creatures caused by underground changes. The risk has always been high. However, in order to bring more food to the city, more people must be encouraged to go to the hunting team, so I acquiesced to the hunter to obtain some extra spoils. Anyway, it is all eaten into the belly of the residents of the Jian Ancient City, so why not do it? However, due to the limitation of distance, hunting cannot expand infinitely. The existing underground planting fields are no longer usable, and even raising livestock has to make way for food. Obviously, the city has reached its limit and we must return to the ground."

"Lord, I also agree with the trade to make everyone earn more, but what can I do?"

"I need more support from the Neil family, which will slowly affect the balance of decision-making. The city lockdown order will be twenty years, but the people of Jian Gucheng will have to wait and have a meal and have a meal for another twenty years?" Antoine shook her head and said, "Dagon, I need a Neil family member to go out first so that the Neil family can regain the seat of the Dwarf Clan Federation. This person cannot be ordinary, but it cannot be too important, because this action must control the rhythm and cannot cause too much rebound."

"So I'm the most suitable?" Dagon probably understood. "I can be a member of the Neil family or an Orlyson. Because of this flexibility, I became part of the plan?"

"Well, you're right." Antoine said: "You have to bear the responsibility of whatever surname you use. At the same time, you will get the kind of care you use. After you restore the Neil surname, your monthly food ratio will be four times that of now, and you can also get elemental gems, whether you use it yourself or save it as currency. This is just the most basic, and it is not the reward you get when you perform your tasks."

Four times the ratio? If there are really four times the amount of potato flour, then the food at home will be significantly improved, at least the dry food can be full.

"This is good." Dagon nodded and said, "I support the trade so that everyone can have a full meal."

"I'll be relieved if you say this." Antoine patted Dagon's shoulder and said, "The hunting team will be inspected recently to avoid any polluted monsters like the corpse demon who do evil and cannot go out to perform tasks for the time being. This is your report, so I don't have to hide it from you. The entire Jian Gucheng must be inspected. When you come, you should see Chief Pastor Kurt checking the Lord's Mansion, right?"

Dagon nodded and said he had seen it.

"No matter what you do, the people of the Neil family must take the lead and take the lead. Whether it is to check the entire city or admit mistakes and gradually resume foreign trade, how can the Neil family not compete for the first place, so how can others follow?" Antoine said: "Recently, the hunting team cannot go out, so you can practice hammering skills at home, and then wait for the task. Tormond is a weapon master, and he can teach you, just learn from him. We thought you were dead before, so we decided to send all your shares to you, and they don't need them to come again. Now it's four times. Do you want to pick them up by yourself or send them to you?"

"I'll get it." Dagon smiled happily when he thought of getting more food.

"I think I'd better send it to you on time. Because you have to perform tasks in the future and you may not be in the city, so don't miss the time."

"Then thank you Lord."

"Reasonably, you should call me... Well, it's all right. This is your beard ring, take it and put it on your name." Antoine took out a pure gold beard ring, which was obviously thicker and longer than the one given to Doma, and the carvings on it were more exquisite. "The last name is Neil, and this must not be wrong."

The two words Neil can be exchanged for four times the rations, and Dagon feels that he has made a profit. He packed his beard and came to the craftsman's residence as fast as possible. He comes to the lord's mansion every month, and every time he receives food, he passes through the craftsman's area, and there is no need to lead the way.

When he arrived, Doma had already put on a beard ring and was shaking his beard to show off at Dagon. "Hey, this thing is really useful. I have tried it just now. Whether it is splashing water or mud, it can be cleaned up just by tidying it up, and it does not affect the beard shape."

"Of course, I've wanted this for a long time. My beard is very irritable and it's difficult to take care of it. I often have to bother my mother." Dagon gave the pure gold whisker ring to the craftsman, and then said politely: "Master, this is mine, please process it."

"Huh, it's actually pure gold, it will take more effort to fight." The craftsman looked at it carefully, and then said, "Like that guy, give me a strand of hair, a strand of beard, rub some old skin or cut some nails. I will add it to the soul engraving solvent before I can carve your name."

Dagon acted as he said. When he pulled out his beard, Xingheul curiously poked his head out, and then patted the scales on Dagon's neck with his hind legs. This reminded Dagon that the scales were also part of him.

"Use the scales too." Dagon pulled down a piece of scale and handed it over. He did this a lot when he was a child, but this would only make the scales more and more, and he could not get rid of the scales at all.

"Oh, it turns out to be Dagon." The craftsman touched the scales, took out his glasses and put them on, and said, "The Lord has told you that your surname is Neil, so you have to call Dagon Neil, right?"

"Can you carve Dagon Steel Cast Neil?"

"That's not OK. The surname of the Gangzhu family cannot be changed to the middle name. It does not mean that it is close, but that it is laughing at the fact that there is no one in their family. It is not suitable, very inappropriate."

"Or it's better to call Dagon Olison Neil." Dagon scratched his beard and said, "If only Dagon Neil were, I would always feel unreal."
