Chapter 51: Grassland at night

Views:

Some people are even guessing, did this guy kidnap a beautiful female slave from a noble family and sneak away from Hardy to Baron? Some people think in their hearts: If they have such a charming and beautiful female slave, they will definitely dress her up beautifully, but not for others to see, but only for themselves... In fact, it is most beautiful to wear nothing, and hugging her to bed is simply a world. The most ecstatic enjoyment.

Amon drank his own wine, and everyone in the tavern guessed wildly. Finally, a drunken voice asked loudly: "Outsider, did you abduct this girl?"

Amon raised his head and replied, "She brought me to this town to look for the lost sheep."

Yin Nanna also smiled and said: "I was not kidnapped by him, I brought him here, he is a good person who helped me."

At this time, the owner of the hotel rushed over to persuade him, "He's drunk, don't mind!" Then the owner ran over to persuade the drunk man, fearing that the wrong words would cause conflicts and smash things in the tavern.

Amon felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere, some corners looked over with inexplicable hostility, and he didn't want to stay here any longer. This bad wine for a cup of copper coins is really not very tasty, it is not as good as the wild fruit wine brewed by the cave-dwelling savage tribe. He drank very quickly. Yin Nanna stood beside her and kept pouring the wine. After finishing drinking, Amon put down the glass and asked again: "Boss, what is the most expensive wine here?"

The boss was surprised again, and took out a beautiful copper bottle from behind the counter and walked to the table: "This is the best wine in our store. There are only two bottles, and each bottle costs one silver coin."

Amon reached out his hand to touch the big leather pocket, and found that the three silver coins he took out in advance were all used up, and there were only twenty scattered copper coins. So he took out a small leather pocket from his bosom, opened it and took out two silver coins and said, "I want two bottles of wine, how much is this jug of wine?"

It's so cheap! The bottle of wine brought by the boss was familiar to Amon. It was the same as the bottle his father gave him when he left Duke Town. It cost fifteen silver coins in his hometown, but only one silver coin here. Amon didn't buy it for himself. He is not addicted to alcohol. These two bottles of wine were prepared for Schrödinger.

The boss's eyes were a little straight, he reached out and touched his forehead as if he was wiping sweat, nodded repeatedly and said: "You bought these two bottles of wine, and the other one is free, no money!"

When Amon went to the town today, there was always something extra to gain. He bought two pairs of shoes for free, bought sheep white and gave a whip rope, and bought wine and gave a jug of wine for free. But he didn't like this town very much, he just wanted to send Yin Nanna back quickly, and then crossed the Youdi River to continue eastward. At least he knew one thing here, the world outside the mountain is indeed very different from Duke Town.

Amon conveniently put the two bottles of wine into the big leather pocket, while Schrödinger was still curled up in the innermost part and fell asleep, without any reaction, he took Yin Nanna and left the tavern.

The two foreigners left, but the tavern owner still stood there in a daze for a long time without moving. Someone next to him shouted: "Shu Te, what's wrong with you? Was your soul taken away by that slave girl? Why didn't you discuss it and buy her at a high price? I really want to know how much such a beautiful slave girl is worth." money?"

Another voice also shouted: "The foreigner drank the cheapest wine himself, but bought two bottles of the most expensive wine to take away. Is it for the slave girl to drink at night? He is really good to the slave girl. If I If you can afford such a female slave, you are willing to feed her such expensive wine!"

The hotel owner named Shute finally came back to his senses and said loudly: "Buy her? Guess what I saw just now? It's a sacred stone, and there's more than one sacred stone! It's in the young man's purse!"

When Amon paid the money just now, he didn't want to show off. He just opened the leather pocket by a small corner. Other people couldn't see what was in it, but the boss who was standing next to him saw the luster of the god stone in an instant. This situation is too weird, the sacred stone is a symbol of nobility, how can a person with a lot of sacred stones in his pocket drink a copper coin and a cup of bad wine

The atmosphere in the tavern immediately boiled, and people began to discuss loudly with red faces, and the story of the stranger was interpreted into another version——

The young man should be a servant of a noble family, he stole the master's money, kidnapped the beautiful female slave and eloped quietly. That female slave should be very much loved by the original master, and she used the best for food and clothing, and the young man has wronged her for spending money like this. But this young man himself is very stingy, and he doesn't want to spend too much money to arouse suspicion, or he is a poor man who doesn't know how to spend money.

Some people started counting with their fingers drunkenly. One sacred stone was worth twenty gold coins, one gold coin was worth twenty silver coins, one silver coin was worth one hundred copper coins, and the dress the young man bought for the girl was worth sixty copper coins. How many dresses like that can one divine stone buy? The correct answer is six hundred and sixty-six, and I need to find a copper coin.

After all the calculations, no one could figure it out. In short, it was a lot, and everyone felt that the dress Amon bought for Yin Nanna was really too cheap. There is a handful of divine stones in his pocket, but he bought clothes worth only sixty copper coins for such a beautiful girl. There must be something wrong with the young man's money.

No one noticed, but amidst the wild speculations of a group of drunks, at the best, biggest, and cleanest table in the corner, two men whispered something in a whisper, paid their bill and hurried out.

Amon asked outside the town: "In Nanna, where do you live and where should I send you?"

Yin Nanna: "The place where you met me is fine. My sheepfold is not far from there, and I can walk back by myself."

Amon thought for a while and said, "Okay then, I'll send you to the place where you came, and bring your little lamb home quickly."

Halfway through the way back, it was getting dark. Half a bright moon rises, and the undulating grass slopes can be seen clearly under the quiet moonlight. The night is another kind of gentle and tranquil beauty.

If the experience in the town just now made people feel a little bit unhappy, they have already forgotten it in the beautiful scenery of this beautiful day. Naturally, it is impossible to walk too fast under the moonlight. little lamb.

After walking a short distance under the moonlight, Amon's expression darkened and he stopped. Yin Nanna asked curiously, "What's wrong with you, are you tired again?"

Amon shook his head: "No, someone is staring at us."

Yin Nanna showed a panicked look: "In the middle of the night, why is there someone here? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

Amon: "There are both in front and behind, and they should be aimed at us... Yin Nanna, don't be afraid, I'll just send them away, and I will definitely send you back safely."

After speaking, he let go of Yin Nanna's waist, and shouted to the surroundings with the iron branch staff: "Since you are here, why hide there? I don't know you, and I don't owe you money. Why are you so big?" Come in the middle of the night with a weapon?"

There was a sneer from the front, and two people came out, the one in front was holding a long sword, and the one behind was actually holding a staff. The man with the staff shouted: "Outlander, you stole the master's money and kidnapped the slave girl, how dare you show off in the town of Sumer?"

The man holding the sword shouted: "We don't talk nonsense, leave the money bag and the slave girl, and spare your life!"

Along with the voice, three people came out from the grassy slope behind, with axes and sticks in their hands, apparently with ill intentions. Yin Nanna huddled beside Amon in horror and whispered: "Don't believe what they say, they want to steal your money and take me away, and they will definitely kill you to silence them. How can this kind of thing spread to people? Know."

Amon was not afraid. His first thought was Ma Qi, the neighbor of Duke Town, the tripolar warrior who was killed by an old lunatic in the Black Fire Forest. His second thought was Ma Qi. It turned out to be the three things that the old lunatic confessed. First of all, don't kill people lightly, and even if you have to kill people, try to use the smallest force possible.

He asked a little strangely: "The person opposite, you are holding a staff, is a magician? Since you are a magician, why do you do such a thing?"

As soon as these words came out, a voice behind him shouted in a panic: "Master Wen Nu, he recognized you, we can't let him go again!"

The man with the sword yelled angrily: "Hansom, shut up!" Then he said to Amon: "Since you know that there is a distinguished magician here, why don't you hurry up and hand over the money bag and the slave girl for you? Please forgive me for my crime!"

This group of people is very inexperienced as robbers, and it is the first time they have done murder for money. The two people in front are the sons of the mayor of Sumer Town. The older brother is Guy, a second-level warrior, and the younger brother is Wennu, a first-level magician. Of course, the town of Sumer could not compare with the town of Duke, which produced important strategic materials, so the status of the mayor was not high, and he was only the lowest nobleman in the Baron Kingdom.

The mayor of the town sent his youngest son to a nearby city-state to learn magic arts, spending almost half of the family's money, and Wen Nu became a first-level magician. This time he returned home from the city-state and asked his father for money before bribing the priests, hoping to get a priesthood in the city-state temple.

But the mayor's father was unwilling to spend so much money, and instead persuaded his son to be a priest in the town's temple. Anyway, the talk broke down, and it was really difficult for the family to get the money Wen Nu wanted, so he took his brother Guy to the tavern to drink and vent his depressed emotions.

In the end, they saw Amon and Yin Nanna in the tavern. When they learned that Amon had a huge sum of money, they were moved. When people drink too much, they will become more courageous, and even want to do something to get rich and kill. After discussing it, the two brothers decided that the money will go to the younger brother, and the beautiful female slave will go to the older brother.

The two brothers made up their minds, and they left the town with three strong servants holding weapons. They walked faster than Amon, and took a shortcut to block Amon here.

The servant didn't drink, and it was the first time he did such a sinful act, so he was unavoidably timid. As soon as Amon mentioned the magician, the servant named Hansom thought he had recognized Wennu. There was only one magician in Sumer Town, Wennu, and everyone knew who it was without mentioning the name. Guy scolded the flustered servant, and was already waiting for Amon to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Leave with weapons now, I choose to forgive you!" Amon suddenly said something coldly that no one had thought of. There was inexplicable majesty in his voice, like a noble priest or simply like a gods.

Although Amon was young, he was very majestic when he was serious. This temperament was developed unconsciously. Don't forget that he has always been regarded as a god in the cave-dwelling savage tribe. Amon himself doesn't like to show off, but the cat next to him is bigger than anyone else, can he learn from Schrödinger every day

Both Wen Nu and Gay were taken aback, and even had a momentary illusion—Amon looked like a prince visiting privately in a low suit, and then they felt that this illusion was ridiculous. Which prince would walk at night wearing straw sandals

Guy laughed loudly, as if he was emboldened by his laughter, he raised his sword and greeted him, "Outsider, you are courting death! According to Article 18 of the Baron Kingdom Code, slaves who steal, sell or abduct others, Civilians will be given the death penalty! Here, let me execute it."

Amon was afraid that he would hurt Yin Nanna, and he didn't want to wait for everyone to surround him before making a move. He took a long step forward and swung the iron staff in his hand to hit him, aiming at Gay's shoulder. Amon's staff looked like an ordinary branch, and it was light and fluttering without any abnormality when it was waved.

Guy's face was full of ridicule. Although his sword was not the best horse leather steel, it was also made of sharp fine iron. It cost him fifteen silver coins! This foreigner actually attacked him with a branch. Maybe Guy was trying to show off. He suddenly yelled, holding his sword with both hands, and slashed at the "branch" that was being swung diagonally, trying to take Amon with the branch. Cut into two sections.

The strength he used is really not small, this sword is enough to split a tree, let alone an inconspicuous dead branch. However, when the sword struck the branch, there was a sound of metal colliding, dazzling sparks were drawn in the dark night, and there was a piercing sound, and the slender fine iron sword was unexpectedly broken.

The deformed half of the tip of the sword flew out, and the other half with the hilt dropped to the ground, and Guy's tiger's mouth was shattered. Amon's "branch" looked light and light when it hit the sword, but it carried a kind of impact force and strange tremors. The divergent shock waves penetrated straight into the body, and half of Guy's body was numb, and his voice screamed even if he wanted to. No sound.

Amon's staff interrupted the fine iron long sword, without any hindrance or influence, and continued to swing forward to point at Guy's right shoulder, making an inaudible "poof" sound, without any blood flying. At the scene, Guy's body softened and he fell to the ground. He is a second-level warrior, but Amon can't tell what level of warrior's strength he is using. This is the miner's skill in Duke Town, but at this moment he is not using a sledgehammer but an iron staff, and the hammer is not ore core.

It was just one blow for Amon to bring down Guy, but this blow embodies the perfect combination of speed, strength, agility, and accuracy. He is not proficient in martial arts, and no one can teach him various fighting skills on the battlefield. He also went hunting when he was practicing martial arts in the tribe of cave dwellers, and he had seen all kinds of beasts. There are not so many tricks in fighting fierce beasts. The shots are simple and effective, and Amon always catches alive. He never kills a wild beast on the spot, which is much more difficult than killing a wild beast.

Amon has this habit. On the one hand, it is because the live beasts are brought back to the village, and they can be slaughtered and eaten fresh meat at any time. On the other hand, Link also likes to experiment with raising various wild animals, and try not to let the clansmen risk hunting and have food at any time. source. Amon doesn't care whether any kind of beast can be domesticated and raised, as long as the tribesmen catch it alive and bring it back.

So when he was hunting, he was always followed by a group of people. Some people alarmed the wild animals in the surrounding valleys and ran to where Amon was, and a group of people followed Amon with ropes and sticks. Amon brandished the iron staff and knocked down the beasts one by one, and the cave dwellers rushed forward and tied them with ropes to carry them away. At this time, the tribe is as lively as a festival.

Amon usually fights against the Iron Armored Beastmaster, not really fighting but just trying out his skills. Guy's sword looked menacing, but it was far from the iron-clad beast king Yunmeng's tail lash.

After a successful blow, Amon strode past Guy, swung the iron staff down and hit the same position on his left shoulder, then accelerated and suddenly leaped forward like a wild beast, the staff was struck out with the sound of wind, and there was a blow in the air. The ball of fire was scattered and flew in all directions.

Wen Nu is a magician. Under normal circumstances, he should use magic to cover or help Guy when he makes a move, but he didn't expect that his brother, a second-level warrior, would be defeated by this foreigner in the blink of an eye. , It was already too late to cast the divine spell, and just sent out a ball of fire to Amon in a haste.

A first-level magician can only perform simple low-level magic. The fire elemental magic is powerful, dazzling and beautiful. Many people like to learn it first, and Wen Nu is no exception. This magical technique is naturally powerful against ordinary people, and it is also weird and difficult to imitate against ordinary warriors, because this is a magical power that others do not have, and it has a very good deterrent and damage effect.

But Amon's judgment was very accurate, and he wasn't afraid at all. He didn't dodge or dodge on the way forward, and scattered the fireball like shooting fireflies. Wen Nu let out an exclamation, and it was too late to send out the continuous magical spells. Amon's iron staff swung over, and the tip of the staff swept across his cheeks with the sharp wind sound, and it felt like being cut by a knife. A little of that would knock his brains out.

It wasn't the head that was smashed, just a click, and the staff that Wen Nu raised was smashed into several pieces. Naturally, his staff couldn't catch Amon's eyes. It was just a piece of hard walnut wood inlaid with an ordinary god stone after magical processing. No matter how hard the thick walnut wood is, how can it withstand Amon's stick? As the staff broke, the divine stone at the top shattered into powder, and Wen Nu let out a hoarse voice and fell limply to the ground.

Wen Nu was injured, it wasn't Amon who injured him. While casting the divine spell, someone suddenly destroyed the staff. The power that was already in operation could not be vented. If it is not well controlled, it will backfire on the caster himself. His body was as uncomfortable as being burned by fire. The divine stone wasn't broken by Amon either. Amon didn't waste it that much, and it was also because the staff was destroyed while casting the divine spell.

"Yin Nanna, come here! You guys, put down your weapons!" Amon leaned on his staff, raised one foot to step on Wen Nu's side lying cheek, and shouted coldly towards the three servants in the distance .

Yin Nanna had already rushed to Amon's side with her skirt in her hand. Before the three servants could react, they saw two young masters who were usually majestic and majestic were knocked to the ground in an instant. If you step on it, you can take your life at any time. They threw down their axes and clubs, and fell on their knees together, crying, "Outlanders, no, noble warriors, spare our young masters! If they die, we shall die too!"

Amon looked at them with slightly strange eyes, and asked back: "You are so interesting, why do you beg me to spare these two young masters? Do you have anything to do with me, don't forget that you are also holding weapons If you want to kill me, why should you beg me for mercy on behalf of others, I haven't said to forgive you yet!"

The servants shouted: "Noble foreign warriors, we were also forced. We tried to dissuade the two young masters, but we couldn't. We didn't want to do such a sinful thing, but we had to come."

Yin Nanna whispered beside Amon: "We can't let them go, not even one of them! Amon, you surprised me so much, you actually have such a powerful force!... If you didn't defeat them today, wouldn't they be so powerful?" If you let us go, you will be killed and your money will be taken away, and I will be taken away by force... Did they want to spare you? Everyone deserves to die!"

Amon pointed at the three servants with his staff and said: "As a servant, can you persuade your master? I shouldn't bear the consequences. I know what kind of punishment you will suffer, so bear it yourself. I have no intention of punishing you again." You guys are not worth my shot." Then pointing to Guy who fell to the ground under the grass slope, he said, "You might as well not have power, otherwise you will only bring more harm and disaster to yourself and others." Then he continued Pointing to Wen Nu at his feet: "You are not worthy of using a staff!"

After saying these words, he kicked the blood-spitting Wennu off the grass slope, rolled to Guy's side, and said to the three servants: "Hurry up and carry them back, get out now!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" The three servants bowed to the ground, then got up and hurried over to carry the two young masters on their backs, one of them picked up the remaining things, and hurried away in the night.

When Wen Nu was casting a spell, the staff that inspired the magic spell was suddenly destroyed. For a magician, his injury would leave a terrible shadow in his life. Guy's injury was very light, and Amon just cracked the cartilage in his shoulder socket, but this kind of injury is extremely difficult to heal, which means that he may no longer be able to use the power of physical skills to swing the sword.

As for the three servants, Amon had no interest in dealing with them at all, and knew that they would end up worse than the two young masters after they returned. I remember when I was in Duke Town, the mayor of Dusty’s son, Moses, was playing outside and made a mistake. He went home and was punished for not eating for a day and copying the instructions of the gods. However, the two servants who looked after Moses were beaten to death. The two young masters caused such a big disaster and suffered such serious injuries, right in front of the eyes of the three servants, one can imagine their miserable end after returning, or they should run away now.

When they walked far away under the moonlight and gradually lost sight of their figures, Amon turned around and put his arm around Yin Nanna's waist and said, "Didn't it scare you? Don't be afraid, let's continue on our way."
