Chapter 60 Ah, the sun

Dagon is dressed neatly and full of energy, and Dagon is about to embark on a journey. From the ancient city to the Secret Namilis, it is almost equivalent to going from the south to the north of the world. Even if the journey is smooth and safe, it will take eight months to enter the territory of the elves. The hardship of the boat and the journey will be a feeling that Dagon has never experienced before.

Fortunately, the caravan sent by the "Golden Dog" Chamber of Commerce has been active on this north-south line all year round. They are experienced and are more friendly to the Jiangu people. It is said that the "Golden Dog" is the only chamber of commerce that can communicate with the two major settlements of the Jiangu people: the Canine Fortress and Mopan City. It has three caravans with a size of about fifty people, and they travel back and forth with these two strongholds all year round, and are deeply trusted by the Jiangu people. The Neil family entrusted Dagon to them, and they also took a fancy to this trust.

If you have to leave sooner or later, there is no need to delay. Dagon said goodbye to his parents first, then went to the lord's mansion to make a brief greeting, then took the bloodline certificate and personal seal ring to the entrance and exit alone. The two families prepared a full backpack for him, and from the back it looked like a Jiangu people carrying another Jiangu people.

"You can only walk from here, so you can't avoid me."

The familiar voice made Dagon’s face reappear, and he waved to the dark corner. “Doma, thank you for sending me. But it would be great if your face could be more beautiful, and I could keep more beautiful memories.”

"You should create good memories and stop trying to take advantage of me." Doma came out of the shadow and hit his elbow, shoulder and forehead with Dagon in turn. "You are reluctant to leave, but your stay in Jian Gucheng will only delay those kind girls."

"You go and save them!"

"I really want to go." Doma touched his collapsed nose and shook his head and said, "Next week I will be arranged to go on a blind date with the girl from the Huogu family. Alas, things that are definitely not successful are a waste of time. I would rather complete the additional tasks of the hunting team and earn more money."

"Haha, you'd better go on a blind date and let your family worry less." Dagon looked around, then put down his backpack, opened a pocket from the inside, and took out a small leather bag from it.

"There are 100 gold coins here, given by the lord. You can buy something for my house from time to time and send it to me."

Doma shook his head and didn't take the gold coins at all. He pushed them back directly. "If you really believe me, don't give me money. What's more than one hundred gold coins? I will definitely give you things to the steel-cast couple, and then I will keep the accounts for you, and you will give me money when you come back. If you can't live a good life and earn as much as I can't give, that's embarrassing!"

"Then do you keep your accounts?"

"Yes, don't worry. There is a saying that brothers settle the accounts clearly. The more carefully I remember, the more calm I am."

"Well, this is better." Dagon reloaded the gold coins, carried the backpack, and the two of them walked along the road in front of the lord's mansion towards the city gate.

After the market ended, the place returned to peace, but everyone was still experiencing the joy of being able to communicate with the outside world and change to the joy they needed. The residents of Jian Gucheng had another topic, that is, whether the city lockdown order should be ended early. The former lord Egg has passed away for sixty years. Now that his adopted son Dagong, whom he sent back, is leaving, can the city lockdown order he sent back be gone?

It was just that the full unblocking was not so fast. The Neil family needed the unanimous consent of all the auxiliary families to overthrow the former lord's decision. Whether it can be successful and when it will be successful is no longer related to Dagon. The people of the Neil family are busy with politics and no one comes to deliver Dagon, so he will let his good brothers send them to the city gate.

The guards of the lord's mansion stopped Doma and could not continue to move forward. The two of them said their final farewell among the goods piled up by the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce, and then they went to the surface and the underground, separated from each other. With Dagon's insistence, Doma walked out of sight before he could enter the passage, so that he could see more eyes from Jian's ancient city. Unexpectedly, Doma blew a whistle and called Junlong, and ran away in a few seconds, so Dagon had no reason to delay.

Under the city lockdown order, the passages connecting Jian'an Ancient City and the outside world were extremely narrow and rugged paths, and only one Jian'an Ancient tribe could pass through at a time. In order to hold a market, Lord Neil secretly repaired the narrow path, widened some bottlenecks, and put a steel cable on his head to lift the goods. The Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce used this steel cable to transport the goods in, and now it is necessary to transport the harvest. The boxes piled up near the city gate are the work they will complete in the past two days.

"Let that dwarf prince go out first." The people from the Chamber of Commerce have already made arrangements. "Let him go out and bask in the sun and become familiar with the caravan environment. He has to walk on the road for more than half a year, and he can get less trouble if he runs in."

So Dagon squeezed directly into the cargo transport sequence and gave priority to it. He walked in the passage, and his backpack hung on the steel cable and pulled it away with a rope.

The narrow passage is difficult to pass, but the surrounding rocks are tightly wrapped around it, like Mother Earth embracing him into her arms, which is a familiar sense of security. The front of the passage is getting brighter and brighter, and soon it surpasses the torches, lanterns and even the underground magma. That should be the power of the "sun"?

Turning a corner, the tunnel was already very bright, but the white and shaking light seemed to be strengthening. Dagon wondered if it had any limit, and his heart felt a little weak, as if the sun was using a "flashing" rune on him. For the first time, Dagon felt a little weak and weak under his feet, and felt that the outside of the light was full of terrible danger. For a moment, he wanted to escape and return to the familiar and affectionate underground city, but the end of the warrior who was unyielding, made him raise his left leg and move forward, and then raise his right leg to follow.

Turning the last turn, Dagon saw the entrance of the cave. The sunlight shone in from the entrance, as if more than ten pillars. The dust clearly visible to the naked eye floated in the pillars, and everything became clearer and colorful. Outside the entrance, it was no longer another cave or tunnel that followed in the underground environment, but a vast land. The environment as wide and without a roof gave Dagon an endless sense of uncertainty and insecurity.

He swallowed his saliva with a gulp, tried hard to hide the trembling of his legs, and pulled the rope hard. The backpack slid over the last distance, and Dagon quickly untied it and then held the hunting axe in his hand. The outside of the hole was filled with cheerful laughter, and there were some whistles and funny little songs. It should be the members of the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce. But Dagon was only at the moment of the prehistoric beasts, and he could only feel at ease with a weapon in his hand.

The first step to step out of the cave, Dagon was directly "attacked" by the sun. The scorching summer sun approaching noon was violent and inhumane, without any tenderness or modesty, and pressed the dazzling light and burning heat waves on Dagon's head. Tears suddenly flowed down, and Dagon hurriedly set up a pergola on his eyebrows with one hand to create a shadow.

In sixty years, Dagon has never seen the sun. Perhaps this is not accurate, because on the way back from the Gaimo City, Dagon in his cradle might have seen the sun. Under the scorching sun, Dagon tried hard but slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ground beneath his feet to adapt to the brightness outside. In the hazy field of view, a fragile and swaying white object attracted his attention, swaying in the wind, as if welcoming and encouraging Dagon to come to the ground. Is that... a flower?

Taking a deep breath, Dagon didn't want to become a creature as fragile as a wild flower. He was a tough Jiangu tribe, the son and apprentice of the weapon master. His mother had cultivated on the outside land and under the sun, and he could definitely live on the outside land and under the sun.

Removed his hand from his eyebrows, Dagon saw the horizon, the mountains in the distance, the canyons and plains stretching to his feet. The magnificent scenery shocked him. He never thought that the space could be so far away, and the eyes of the Jiangu tribe could see such a far distance. Then, he saw the sky, the blue, boundless, and huge space without falling, which made him immediately dizzy. At that time, the ground seemed to fall into the sky, and the feeling of falling and rotating surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Dagon suddenly lost his balance and sat on the ground.

"Hahahaha, it turned out and the dwarf prince fell."

The laughter surrounded him from all directions, his stomach was turbulent, and Dagon felt very uncomfortable and a little aggrieved. He had never seen the sky, the sun and the clouds, and the environment was so bright. It was normal for those people to be unhappy. What did those people laugh at?

However, they did fall down, which is worth laughing. As my father said, they were happy to laugh, and what they got when they made mistakes was learned from their experiences and lessons, and they were also happy.

"Then you'll be happy." Dagon shook his head, then stomped his feet on the ground, patted and touched it with his hands. The floor outside was warmer, but it was just as strong and heavy, and it would definitely support me as a Jiangu tribe. He thought to himself that what made me fall just now was not the usual earth or the distant sky, but just myself. I was about to fall just now, and now I want to stand up straight and steadily, who can stop me?

So he stood up, swallowed, and his stomach no longer felt uncomfortable. He stood firmly and his vision was much wider. Only then did he notice that he was on a gentle slope. The reconnaissance tunnel of the ancient city was hidden among several large rocks, and four solid guards were guarding on all sides. Under the gentle slope covered with grass and wild flowers, twenty or thirty four-legged animals with thin legs and high necks were tied to stone stakes. Next to them were two rows of ten four-wheeled trucks in parallel.

The golden retriever flag with golden tongue fluttered at the front and the end of the convoy. The caravan consisted of about twenty humans, six or seven halflings and four Jiangu people. A halfling with yellow hair stood on the barrel and danced. Some people took the paper from him and were cheerful, while others cursed away from him with empty hands. The halfling was shouting "Dwarf Prince, Dwarf Prince", which made people feel noisy.

So he took a deep breath and shouted loudly in the vast world:

"My name is Dagon Olison Neil, a member of the Jiangu tribe, I am not a dwarf prince."
