Chapter 63 Preferred Deals
Dagon and Xingjiu ate the Jiangu sausages beautifully. One lies comfortably on the tent to bask in the sun, and the other runs away to find a place where no one can see to solve the problem. His stomach needs to continue to adapt to the ingredients and recipes on the ground. It is estimated that this diarrhea will last for a while. Fortunately, he can at least feel a slight improvement.
Bury the pit today, dig another spare next to it, and then Dagon walked back with his hunting axe. He chose the pit under a sunken hillside and climbed up the ridge again, he saw from afar that the leader of the caravan, Geros, was talking to the two Jiangu people. They were not the dwarf of the caravan. Dagon narrowed his eyes and focused on distinguishing, and found that one of them was Antoine Neil, the lord of Jiangu City.
"Sixteen rune-long swords, half human and half elves, are the best quality." Antoine said to Jelos at a position that Dagon could not hear: "These are half the payment for goods and half the deposit. The food I want will be shipped to you this autumn, and the passage will be opened to your chamber of commerce again."
"No problem, Lord Lord, the Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce is willing to serve the Jiangu tribe. This is a good deal, and we have shipped empty boxes for almost two days."
"It's not empty either, there are still some stones inside. Keep away and throw them away, and don't pile them around the ancient city to make people suspicious."
"Lord, aren't the soldiers patrolling and protecting around this ancient city all from the Neil family?"
"Just do what I said, but it's just to transport twenty or thirty miles out. Is it difficult?" Antoine said: "Remember, you don't have to let others know what Jian's ancient city needs. The city lockdown order has not been completely over. If it causes a political turmoil, it is difficult to explain the clan meeting and Jian's ancient city, then you will have to sacrifice your chamber of commerce."
"The Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce is loyal and reliable, please rest assured Lord." Geros rubbed his hands and smiled, saying, "Sir, do you have any other explanations?"
"No, do your best, and see you again if you have a chance." Antoine had seen Dagon coming from the ridge. He didn't want to meet with the worker, and he didn't want to make up a lie when Dagon asked what he was doing. So Antoine took his guard and turned around and left in a hurry.
After a low rumbling sound, a stream of smoke rose from the originally narrow tunnel. Then, Toby ran to Jerous and danced and told how the tunnel entrance was closed by himself.
"Bah, I don't care how the stingy guy sealed himself up. It's said that as long as the dwarf closes the cave, it won't be able to sleep. I think they are all preparing for the future coffin." Jerous took out his pipe and shaved the e-liquid at the bottom with a wooden piece, and said at the same time: "I talked about a confidential transaction, but I don't give additional closure fees. These dwarves really don't do business."
Toby smiled and asked, "That's our dwarf prince's father, right?"
"The prince's father does not have the demeanor of a king, and is even more stingy than some orc chiefs." Geros gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "The good things in Jian Gucheng are nothing but rune tools, and they were not given one."
"Indeed, now the pure gold is a good thing, the rune... is very ordinary. Especially since the elves invented the seal card..."
"Shut up! I'm still within the scope of Jian'an Ancient City. Have you forgotten the request of the clan meeting?" Geros pointed at Dagon with a wink, and said to Toby in a low voice: "Let that boy hear that if he doesn't go to Semilius, but goes back with the news, then we'll have to lose a lot of money. Keep your mouth tight, and the others are fine, I'm worried about you boy."
"Boss, I won't let it go."
When Dagon returned to the convoy, Toby was leaving with a humming tune. Geros also lit his pipe, and the light and dark flames reflected red on his face. Before Dagon could say a word, Geros sighed first, shook his head and made a regretful expression. "Your father was not good to you, and he didn't say anything related to you. Have you offended him?"
"I don't know the answer, you can only ask the lord himself." Dagon did not show any sadness or anger, which was a bit beyond Jerous's expectations. "What did he do? He actually left the city during the lockdown order. If this was discovered, it would definitely be another big storm."
"Your family bought more things, and this is the final payment. The city has been closed for 60 years. Good luck. I guess he hasn't seen the sun for a long time. Come up and shower it on, can you stop your father?"
"That can't." Dagon rubbed his stomach and said, "Mr. Geros, can I prepare some food for the Jiangu people? I can't eat it now, and my stomach needs buffering."
"I would give Luciga priority to the ingredients from Jian's ancient city, but I can't change the team's recipes. We all eat whatever we have on the road." Geros pointed to the two Bart brothers who were checking the condition of the car at the end and said, "Those dwarves can eat it, and it's okay, so the problem is you, not my recipe."
"There is a problem with the city lockdown order." Dagon rubbed his stomach and climbed back into the carriage.
The Golden Dog Caravan is an orderly division of labor. They unfolded countless times, took back the camp, and then drove the convoy to rush. All the work was already very skilled. Looking at their tense and orderly work scene, Dagon felt that this was a kind of enjoyment. He felt that if he helped, the possibility of causing trouble in the end would be greater.
The last one to get on the car was Luciga's big pot. The last job was to pour water into the charcoal pit that had been burning for several days to completely prevent it from rekindling. Horses who had been resting for many days were put on harnesses again. They even shook their heads and tails excitedly, and their noses were gushing. When the whip exploded in the air, the wood wheels and the bearings rubbed, the carriage bumped and shaking slightly on the large shaft, making a crunching sound, which meant that the Golden Dog Caravan was on the road again.
The four-wheeled carriages lined up in a row and moved forward steadily. Dagon was the fourth from front to back. This was the best position in the entire convoy, safe and secure, and there was little work. The fifth car behind him was the dormitory of everyone, which was a bed in it, and it was used to take turns to sleep during the day and night. The fifth car was driven by Toby, who was at the front of the car, and Dagon was at the rear of the fourth carriage. As long as the two horses were not swaying around and blocking it, Dagon could chat with Toby.
However, Dagon is currently not as interested in chatting with Toby as Observing Horses. He has never seen such creatures, so he is full of curiosity. He will never be annoyed when he can't sleep during the day. Star Helmet is not satisfied with his performance, and often climbs onto his face and shakes his tail, shakes his body, and blocks his sight.
"You can't ride, let me see what's wrong with the mount of the man on the surface?" Dagon pulled the star helmet off his face, put it in his palm, and scratched its belly with his other hand. This move can always quickly disintegrate the star helmet's resistance. It will giggle and giggle, and then the whole body is too relaxed and weak.
After the convoy set off, Dagon found that the carriage that shaking with the ups and downs of the road became his second trouble. The dizziness would surge from time to time, as if the scene of just walking out of the tunnel and being knocked down by the sun and the sky could be reproduced at any time. Although Dagon could get out of the car and use his legs to catch up with the convoy's speed, he still had to earn money at night and had to sleep during the day, and he had to overcome this difficulty, just like overcoming the discomfort caused by food on the ground.
"Other Jiangu people can bear it, but I can bear it too." Dagon has firm confidence, but he still can't slogans in vain. He must find a way. Fortunately, this method is not difficult to find. Dagon found that using Rune Breathing Method for practice can effectively overcome the discomfort caused by bumpy movements.
The inhalation... exhalation... cycle is established and continuously operated between breathing. Dagon noticed that when practicing on the surface, the concentration of the two elements, wood and water, is much higher than that of the underground, and the soil and metal are relatively reduced. Fire is vigorous during the day and will be sparse at night. But overall, it will be easier to practice on the Rune Breathing Method on the surface. The relatively complete five elements can form the effect of promoting circulation, which is also the basic method mentioned in "Transforming Qi into Stone".
The first small stage of practice is to complete the frame, that is, the practice of sitting posture. The sign of completion is that you can gather elemental power in the palm of your hand, rather than just pushing it to your fingertips like before. The essence of rune breathing is to turn magic power into runes to display it. Energy is concentrated in the palm of your hand, and the palm becomes white paper with an ink pool, which can be written in the palm of your hand to form simple runes.
The palms overlap, the palms face the sky, slowly making the height of the palms exceed ten fingers. When immersed in the practice, the car sways less severely, and the movement will also allow more elements to flow through Dagon's body. Although it is sitting, "movement" seems to be the core of "Runish Breathing" and the ultimate element of cultivation.
Dagon practiced concentratingly and quickly, and the convoy suddenly stopped. Geros' voice came from the front. He called on the convoy members to open the box of Jian Gucheng and throw away all the waste inside.
"This place has been thirty miles away from Jian'an Ancient City, which is far enough. Maipu, go and take a look. Don't bring those baking waste that is pretending to be smeared and reduce the weight of the convoy."
Dagon saw with his own eyes that some boxes were transported out of the tunnel and loaded onto the carriage. Now he watched them untied the ropes and unloaded them to the convoy. After the boxes were opened, there were stones inside, or ordinary rocks that were of little use. Because they were produced underground, they were slightly different from the large rocks on the ground that had been exposed to the sun for a long time, but they were dumped on the side of the road and were not conspicuous for a while.
These stones answered some questions for Dagon. Now he knew what Antoine had done for a special trip. The market seemed to be open to all residents, but the one who actually got a lot of goods was actually the Neil family. The Golden Dog Chamber of Commerce must have sent the most urgent supplies to the Neil family, and this process must be concealed. Who should be hidden from? Or should the other people in the city leave early to go north to take the road?
All things were left in the Neil family's castle, and the boxes transported were all useless stones. There were also several such boxes on the Dagon car, so he also extended a helping hand to help the convoy work.
During the transport, Dagon found that a box was wet, and water flowed through the gap at the bottom of the box, spilling all the way. Since it was gravel, the seepage of water was not obvious, but the box would not contain water bags, right? Dagon opened the box and a cold breath came to his face. The box must have been filled with ice before.
