Chapter 6 Next to the Market

The ancient city of Jian includes two parts: the ground and the underground. The previous lord's lockdown order has not yet ended, so the ground part outside the mountain is currently abandoned, leaving only regular rotation of scout defense. It has always been a strategic buffer, which can delay the enemy or serve as a starting platform for pursuit.

The first floor is the real defense line of Jian Gu City. Here are a stable city wall strengthened by magical techniques, a large number of traps, and the forever tenacious Jian Gu people. The lord's castle is set up on this floor, playing a pioneering role in resisting foreign enemies together. Going downwards, there will be production and living areas, warehouse areas, planting and smelting areas and mining areas. Each of the four floors is qualified to establish a regular Temple of Aoli, which shows how prosperous the lives and work of Jian Gu people are, and on the other hand, it also uses this performance to apply for divine blessing from Aoli.

When there was no threat from foreign enemies, there was a lively market near the first floor of the Lord's Mansion. It had long been glorious, and countless items that the ancient tribe of the Lingjian were proud of, especially the exquisite weapons and rune equipment, all of which were attracted by merchants. But now, especially after 62 years of closure, it has long been silent and existed only as a place for the residents of the city to barter.

The market depression also made the lord's mansion desert. This is the place where the Neil family lived for generations. Between the high walls, there is a maze-like position. It is said that there are powerful guardians who do not require food or breathing. It has never been broken. Jian's ancient city is named after Jian's ancient clan. All Jian's ancient clan members with round bodies and hard souls originated from this. The Neil family was the original lord, and has been continued to this day and is highly respected in the clan.

Respect - There is face, but based on the strength and status, the Neil family has long been declining and marginalized.

If children are young, they will decline. The Neil family, as the lord, is the only female. She is the sister of the leader of the Aeg Neil clan of the previous generation, and was honored as the "Wind Chaser". The lord power of the Jiangu tribe has always been passed on to men but not women. However, sixty-two years ago, Aeg Neil died of severe slander in the battle with the devil. He was forced to issue a city lockdown order and handed over the lord's power to his brother-in-law - the premise of complete marriage and changing his surname. Therefore, Gangu's husband, Antoine Preba IV, was renamed Antoine Neil, and became the current lord of Jiangu.

He was sitting hugging with his wife on a platform on the third floor of the Lord's Castle. He was wiping a steel shield decorated with a golden warhammer pattern. The family motto of "no hammer, no instrument" was shattered. During the sixty-two years of being the Lord, Antoine could be said to have worked diligently and made fair efforts. Everyone could not find any mistakes. He had a very good relationship with his wife. He gave birth to four children for the Neil family over the years, and the fifth one was also prepared in his stomach. This completely broke the shackles of the previous generations of Neil's family and brought him extra trust.

Garauda is satisfied with her current life. Yes, if she only looks at the cost of food and drink, it will definitely not be as good as when she was a child a hundred years ago. But the order to lock down was issued by her brother, not her husband. Although she is not well eaten now, she can still eat enough, and she values ​​spiritual satisfaction more. The children grow up healthily and are all around her, so Antoine doesn't have to rush to engage in a "contract battle" with the monsters. She feels that she can fully accept the current situation.

Having just sent the child out to play, Ganlaoda rarely enjoyed this time between the two of them. She sat quietly, with an old armor on her knees, beside her a complete set of tools for polishing and repairing. She came to repair the armor, just like her husband polishing a shield, which was a small pleasure in life, which could relax and relieve emotions. The two listened to each other's work and breathing, as if the whole world belonged to them only.

At this time, a jingling sound came from outside the castle, crossing the maze of the city wall, and hovering to her ears. "I haven't heard such a fierce rune hammer in a long time." Ganlaoda put down the binding line of the armor piece, listened for a while, and said, "I don't know who is building rune equipment."

"The letter from the Dwarf Clan Federation was sent to the outer city defense yesterday." Antoine said nothing about it.

Ganlaoda was shocked and accidentally fell to the ground by squeezing the rope needle. "Don't be the news of Gai Demon City. God Aoli expressed his compassion, and don't be the news of Gai Demon City."

"It's not there, don't be too nervous. Your brother, the former lord here died in the City of Gamo, I have no intention at all." Antoine continued to wipe the shield, and the rag stained with beeswax made a squeaking sound on the metal. "It's news related to Seminar Namilis - World Crown. The Dwarf Clan Federation reminded me that it was the turn of the Neil family to send someone to World Crown to participate in training and study."

"If you don't go, the city lockdown order has not been lifted, and a child cannot go to the elves' territory." Ganlaoda shook his head and clenched his fists. "If the elves could rescue at that time, it would not take much time and manpower, my brother would not have died! It was also them - those white skins with sharp ears - who had previously locked the dragon-slaying arrows and failed to send them down, which caused the guards around Eiger to suffer heavy losses. Now the elves are thinking of teaching my child badly? This is impossible!"

"I have replied to it," Antoine looked down at the shield, and the words "no hammer and no equipment" seemed to be closer to him. "This time, the Dwarf Clan Federation said it very clearly. If the Neil family cannot respect the original agreement and continue to use the city lockdown order to excuse it, it will be difficult for the seats in the Clan Federation to continue to retain."

"They dare!" Ganlaoda jumped from the chair, kicked the shield in Antoine's hand away, and said, "This is Jian's ancient city, the birthplace of Jian's ancient people. The Neil family was the first guardian of Jian's ancient people and the eternal guardian. He dared to deprive the authority of the Neil family, which was to exclude himself from the social group of Jian's ancient people."

The shield rolled on the ground, making a whirring sound. Antoine bent down, pinched the edge of the shield, and picked it up again. "Dear, there are many cases of namelessness, and they have some solutions. The Neil family does not lack name, but reality, just like a king who is about to starve to death, which is not valued. I have weighed it, this is a good opportunity, we can send Dagon Olison, who is also a child of the Neil family."

"He can't go." Ganlaoda took a breath and said, "Let Fonten go, just say he will go when he becomes an adult."

"Fonten is only eighteen years old, and it will take forty-two years." Antoine put the shield against the wall, grabbed Ganlaoda's arm with both hands, and said, "Only the adult children of the family can go to the world crown, Dagon is just right. I am going to give him Neil's surname, so the Dwarf clan union can't say anything."

Ganlaoda's tone suddenly softened and she said, "You...you want to give him Neil's last name?"

"Yes. What's wrong? He is the adopted son accepted by your brother, and he specially instructed him to bring back the Neil family to the fostering order. This order is written with the lord's seal and the Holy Emblem seal of the God of Aure, which has the same binding force." Antoine touched his wife's beard and comforted her, "Even if his surname is Neil, he will not be in the lord's inheritance sequence. Being able to obtain this honorable surname will also be very beneficial to his future development."

"No, it's still not good. If you go to the World Crown, Jian Gu will become a fool and a waste."

"I have produced a few idiots before, but also heroes from Jian Gu clan. It was a training center, not a magic city, at least there is no danger of life and death. And I don't think Dagon will become a idiot. Even if the part of the rugged tribe is going to become a idiot, the part of the monster bloodline will not agree."

"You go and get the letter back, or prepare to let Levanko go. If you follow the ancient etiquette, the lord's heir should go to the World Crown training. Levanko has become an adult for twenty years, and he will never become a fool."

"If you think so, then modify the armor in your hand according to the size of our eldest son." Antoine's words caused a heavy blow to Ganlaoda's heart. "If we cannot obtain the help of the clan union, we will not be able to recover our strength before the end of the lockdown. Jian Gucheng and our Neil family will be even more dangerous."

"Dagon wants to be a hunter. It's good to have him be a hunter."

"One.24 million liters of food, you can measure it yourself." Antoine sighed and said, "Dagon, at most, only Olison with the surname Neil, but you can't see him more important than our son, or even more important than the future of the entire Jian Ancient City. If you can't figure it out, then think about it. There is still a short time before the adult ceremony. I hope to see Dagon's body-shaped armor instead of letting our Levanko wear that thing."

"They're both of them the same size."

Antoine shook her head: "No, they are very different."

The lord returned to the house with a shield. The shield of the family was kicked by Ganlaoda, but he was not in the mood to repair it today. The current situation of the city is in danger. If external transportation is not restored, the city lockdown order is lifted, and the trade is reopened, I am afraid I will be in a difficult city and will die.

He left the platform along the steps, and there was another jingle and jingle behind him. The original specialty of Jian Gucheng was rune equipment. This jingle and jingle and jingle was once like the flowing water of a waterfall, which could surround and linger all day long.

"I haven't heard it for several years. Who bought rune equipment? At this time, will it be related to the ritual of coming-of-age?" In Antoine's heart, the names of Dagon and Tormond were about to emerge, but their thoughts were disturbed by the guards who rushed to the scene.

"Is there another letter?" He took the envelope and looked at it, and his face changed immediately. The mark on the wax seal on the letter was very clear, which was the emblem of his family's Preba family. If you carefully distinguish it, you can get more specific information based on some details that only family members know.

The letter comes from his aunt, the current dwarf queen.

They were not close in the past. I suddenly wrote a letter and there was probably nothing good about it.
