Bai Li pondered: "Although the cave dwellers are not as strong and powerful as the plateau giants, I heard that they are very agile and flexible. Some of the big tribes are good at craftsman skills. They are natural craftsmen and are very useful for building city-states. If you prepare more, you will also be able to do so in the future." One more chess piece that can be used, this Mei Danzuo should pay attention to it. I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest here."
When Princess Xiaoqian was having a private conversation with Bai Li, in another courtyard in the town, two other people were also having a secret conversation. Jie Kai said to Prince Feng Niu: "Your Highness, don't you find this incident a bit strange?"
Feng Niu nodded and said, "The supplies that the Giant Tribe wanted were for moving, which means they had already planned to move. These people are so powerful that they can carry heavy supplies through the mountains. They besieged Princess Xiaoqian and headed to the town. Ask for these things, and Her Royal Highness seems to have known their plans long ago."
Jie Kai thought about it and said: "Usier led the crowd to accept the mission and accepted the task of Princess Xiaoqian. This scene seems to have been arranged in advance... Your Highness, do you want to send someone to follow those plateau giants and watch them migrate to Where, what is the plot?"
Feng Niu shook his head and said, "They've left long ago, and it's impossible to catch up in the mountains and plateaus. We just do our own thing, no matter what other people's schemes are, don't lose your mind...Jie Kai, I know you're in my heart Doubt anything, but just think about it, don’t have to say it.”
Seeing that His Royal Highness saw through his thoughts, Jie Kai smiled wryly and said: "Then I won't say more, as long as Your Highness knows what's going on in your mind, it's really not easy to mess up things without shadow... This time the princess can escape smoothly, or we didn't Not getting involved in the scuffle is all due to the credit of one person."
Feng Niu also smiled: "The mayor of Arkad Town, Diqi Zhou, is indeed a talent. It can be seen that Princess Xiaoqian wants to win over him. We should also thank him for the matter. I will go to Ki Even the city-state, ask the city lord to recommend this person, and appoint him as the deputy director of the Finance Department. Although I can't bypass the city lord and directly serve as a city-state official, it should be no problem to say hello and recommend such a position."
Jie Kai asked: "Then you don't go to the Yudi River to visit the battlefield?"
Feng Niu: "The battlefield is there. You can go there anytime. Now that your identity has been made public, let's deal with the immediate matter first. Escort the princess back to the capital, and she will also pass through the city-state of Kish. Seeing what the princess means, she may want to take Di Qi invited him to take care of government affairs in his own territory city-state, and I promoted him in his hometown city-state, Di Qi himself should be more willing."
Speaking of this, he frowned and said: "Those two warriors, Medanzuo and Amon, are real warriors and very capable. They traveled farther than us, but they were able to reach us in time in the dark." The designated location should not be underestimated. Anyway, there is also a friendship of fighting side by side, this is a good opportunity to show closeness to the people, and treat them to a meal today."
Jie Kai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll order someone to prepare the dinner immediately, and then send someone to invite them."
Prince Feng Niu seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and said: "Not long ago, I heard the news from the city-state of Uruk that a magician beheaded the descendants of Humbaba's rebellion while crossing the river. Gilgamesh and Enqi They all used this as an excuse to kill Humbaba. You immediately secretly sent someone to ride fast horses to the city-state of Uruk, find the boatman at the time and ask privately—what does the magician’s staff look like? Is it a branch? ?”
Jie Kai asked in surprise: "Do you doubt that Amon is that magician?"
Feng Niu explained: "Under the leadership of your brilliant magician, we successfully crossed the plateau at night. What about them? This is just my intuition. I think Amon may be the magician. As for the truth , just ask."
Jie Kai: "If it is him, are you going to expose his identity?"
Feng Niu shook his head and said, "I'm just curious, as long as I know what's in my mind. He acted on the ferry to save people, and Gilgamesh didn't make things difficult for him. This time in Akkad Town, it was to cooperate with us in saving Princess Xiaoqian. Why should we embarrass him?"
…
Amon and Mei Danzuo returned to the inn and told each other how they were received by Princess Xiaoqian. Fortunately, the identity of the magician was not revealed. Amon smiled and said to Medanzuo: "I'm glad to see you recovering from the pain. You became so excited and enthusiastic in a blink of an eye. Congratulations on your restoration of your noble status... But you look a bit nympho, looking all the way Princess Xiaoqian's eyes are very wrong."
Mei Danzuo replied with some embarrassment: "God Amon, where did you go? I admire and worship Princess Xiaoqian. From today on, she is my idol!"
Amon reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, very good, you will follow your idol back to Baron City the day after tomorrow."
Mei Danzuo quickly explained: "Amon, you are my only god! I only admire Princess Xiaoqian, and of course I have to follow your guidance and follow you around."
Amon: "I understand what you think in your heart. The princess is indeed very charming, and she has repaid you. It is natural for you to be willing to work for her. This time it is not that you are leaving, but I let you return with the princess." Wangdu, we originally planned to cross the Youdi River and we should break up. The reason why we took you along the way was because we were afraid that something would happen to you. Now we can finally rest assured.
I will teach you the path of cultivation in the future. With your noble status, it may be more convenient for you to practice. You should go back to the capital first, deal with your own affairs, and then go to Link to find me. We made an appointment, that is, one year later, see you in Link's tribe. "
The two were discussing the time and place of their next meeting when someone announced outside the door that His Royal Highness Prince Feng Niu invited the two warriors to a banquet. Mei Danzuo asked in a low voice: "The prince treats guests to dinner, shall we go?" Amon replied: "We have fought side by side, and it's okay to have a meal together. Let's go, let's go to eat."
…
That night, Amon taught Mei Danzuo the follow-up content of cultivating the power of one body and two sides, until he had practiced all the sixth-level divine arts and sixth-level physical arts to the peak, and then he left Akkad town. During today's dinner, Prince Feng Niu asked them where they were going. Medanzuo said that he would follow the princess back to the capital, while Amon said that he had something to do far away. Now it has been delayed, so he will leave immediately.
Amon left the town at night, walked towards the Youdi River in the west, and walked around the mountain road for a long time. After confirming that no one was following him, he turned north, walked through the mountains and gradually climbed higher and higher, and returned to the giant tribe on the plateau. where it is.
This road was very difficult and long, and Amon hurried on as fast as he could, until the next morning he arrived at the plateau where he had negotiated with Ussier. The tent made of snow leopard skin has long disappeared, and there is no one in the surroundings. Where is the tribe of the plateau giants
Amon looked around, and saw faint black smoke rising from behind the distant mountains, in three different directions. Sure enough, the tribe of giants burned down their own village. In which village is Yin Nanna waiting for him? While Amon was hesitating, he suddenly heard a string of silver bell-like laughter coming from behind him.
Yin Nanna's voice said not far away: "My little Amon, handsome hunter, brave hero, you really kept your word and found this place as promised."
Amon has been using the detection magic to pay attention to the movement around him, but he didn't notice Yin Nanna's arrival at all, which shows that Yin Nanna's magic is much better than him! Amon turned around, and Yin Nanna stood a dozen steps away with a half-smile. She had long hair loose and was wearing a long golden dress. The long skirt actually changed its luster, like the light of stars and the light of water, wrapping her beautiful body so movingly.
Amon leaned on his staff and bowed to her: "You said you would come back to find me, and you did come!"
Yin Nanna covered her lips: "Oh, Amon, you are my savior, why are you talking to me so respectfully, don't you know Yin Nanna?... I feel so strange, why did you go into the muddy water of Princess Xiaoqian? ?”
Amon said truthfully: "To save Princess Xiaoqian, there is no more than me, and the princess has no way to escape. But I saw you go with Gilgamesh in the same car, and I thought you were him. His fiancée—Princess Xiaoqian."
Yin Nanna let out a happy smile, her skirt swayed and the flowers trembled: "So that's what happened! My little Amon, you are so cute, people always beg for my salvation, and no one has ever saved you. Me. You are the first person to say that and really do it. Although it was a misunderstanding, I am very happy, and this love will never be forgotten."
Amon quickly explained: "No, you have helped me before. Enkidu knew that I was a magician, but he said that it was under your protection that he could safely pass through the city-state of Uruk, which made up for my loss on the ferry. , without any difficulty."
When he spoke, his expression was very solemn, and he did not walk to Yin Nanna's side. Yin Nanna put away her smile, looked at him and sighed softly, "Looking at you, it seems that you already know my identity."
Amon replied respectfully: "Yes, I guessed it, but I want to ask you personally—may I ask if you are the former patron saint of Duke Town, Goddess Mu Yun?"
Yin Nanna looked at him blankly for a long time, and gradually smiled: "My little Amon, you are such a clever lamb, how did you guess it?... I am not only the patron saint of Duke Town, but I am still the patron saint of Duke Town today." You are the patron saint of the people of Duke Town, you are the lost lamb of my flock, and I have finally found you."
Amon replied: "I have seen your god statue since I was a child, but when I saw you, I didn't think about it, and I didn't dare to think about it. Occasionally saw your god statue in the temple in Akkad Town, and suddenly realized that you Why do I think you look familiar. Later, I found out that you are not Princess Xiaoqian, so I guessed that you might be the goddess Mu Yun, but this conclusion is too shocking, and I can't believe it without your own confirmation."
Yin Nanna smiled and nodded, "Now that you've confirmed it, why don't you salute the patron saint?"
Amon didn't kneel down immediately, but asked after thinking about it: "Duke Town is gone, maybe it's not your fault, but I have a question."
Yin Nanna was stunned: "Then you can ask!"
Amon: "May I ask the oracle that almost cut off one of my fingers, is it you who left behind?"
Yin Nanna calmly replied: "I am the one who stayed behind, the guardian oracle of Duke Town. Duke Town is my domain of the gods. Although the gods can see clearly, it is impossible to pay attention to everyone and everyone in the domain of gods all the time. One thing. You were almost cut off a finger in front of my temple, and I only found out afterwards... What, do you hate me for this?"
Amon asked again: "Since the gods can see clearly, do you know what I'm thinking?"
Yin Nanna looked at him, her eyes seemed to be more and more interested, and she still replied calmly: "As a god, I know your emotions, anger, sorrow, and every emotion hidden in your heart; I also know your body reactions, even It's the tiniest trace. I can tell if you're lying, but I can't directly know what you're thinking. To show your loyalty to the Patronus, tell me yourself."
Amon replied: "I don't hold grudges against you. On the contrary, I salute you for this oracle, because someone explained to me the source of the divine spirit. Otherwise, the town of Duke is gone, why should I Kneel to the patron saint who didn't protect the townspeople?" As he spoke, he knelt down and leaned over to kiss the soil on the ground, which is the most solemn etiquette on Tianshu Continent. In the past, when the alcoholic father took Amon to the temple to meet Goddess Mu Yun, he also saluted like this.
Yin Nanna's expression was a bit awkward, she changed slightly, and finally she showed a charming smile, walked over and reached out to help Amon up from the ground, and naturally took his arm, her soft and elastic chest was pressed against her. On his arm, just like the two once walked in the grassland.
The goddess smiled and said: "My Amon, this is not a temple, and there is no one else around, so you don't need to salute me like that. We used to arm each other like this, doesn't it feel good? Just pretend that you are still that Hunter in the mountains, I am still the slave girl shepherd."
Who says it doesn't feel good, it's good, very good! Amon held Yin Nanna's arm and said: "But you are a god after all, which makes me feel unbelievable." If this scene is seen by others, their jaws will drop in surprise. Amon is holding a goddess in his arms Speak calmly. The earth-shattering hero Gilgamesh may not have more bearing than this, but Amon is just an ordinary boy from the countryside.
Yin Nanna was very satisfied with Amon's performance, she put her cheek on his shoulder and rubbed it mischievously, pointed to the front and said, "If you still salute me, I will still be the guardian of you and your people." God, I have called you here today because I have something important to tell you, let's see what it is."
Following the direction of her finger, Qianqianyu finger picked a few times in the air, and Amon sensed a powerful wave of mana. In the open space not far away, the light distorted and a strange space appeared, and there were lights and shadows constantly flashing in the space. —
Flood, the monstrous torrent of water merged into a rolling turbid stream, overflowing the hills, wilderness, and desert. This is a miniature terrain display. Judging from the surrounding mountains out of the water, it is the landform around Duke Town. The scene in the light and shadow is obviously accelerating, the flood has gradually calmed down from surging, and a huge lake has formed around Duke Town.
The surface of the water gradually receded, and the wet muddy land on the high place was exposed, and there were muddy swamps everywhere. Duke Town no longer exists. In the black fire forest to the west, strange rocks, shrubs, and pools of water are dotted in a large swamp, which is impossible to pass through. When the water recedes to a certain extent, it will no longer recede quickly, because it is often raining in the sky, and the climate has changed.
To the north of this large swamp is the Syya Plateau, and to the east are the high mountains of the Youdi River Valley, which are still natural barriers. A tributary of the Youdi River was cut off by a landslide during the flood, and flowed through the swamp to the Syrian Desert in the south, converging into a large inland lake in a low-lying place. To the south of this lake, there is still the desolate Gobi desert, facing the Eju Empire and the Baron Kingdom in the distance.
To the north of the lake, a lot of grass gradually grew, and island-like grasslands appeared in the swamp, and looking around, it was still a Jedi surrounded by swamps. But near the high mountains of the Youdi River Valley, patches of fertile soil like isolated islands have emerged from the water. The light and shadow transformation stopped here, which should be the actual topography today.
Yin Nanna flicked her fingers, and the image disappeared. She held Amon's arm in her arms and asked, "Can you see what that is?"
Amon came back to his senses from the astonishing scene of the magic spell, took a breath and replied: "After the flood, the topography and landforms around Duke Town."
Yin Nanna nodded and said: "It is what your hometown looks like today. It is still changing slowly. After two or three years, there will be a thousand miles of fertile land surrounded by mountains, plateaus, swamps, and deserts. It is still It is a swamp that large groups of people cannot enter at all. Only a few pieces of fertile soil near the Youdi River Valley have emerged from the water, where seeds can be sown to establish villages and market towns... Amon, do you know where those plateau giants have gone? What did they do?"
Amon woke up like a dream: "I understand. They crossed the plateau, crossed the Youdi River, and passed through the mountains. They went there to find a piece of fertile soil to build a new home. Princess Xiaoqian asked them to submit to the Kingdom of Baron. To build the Marduk Temple in the new homeland is to expand the territory of the Kingdom of Hatti!"
Yin Nanna added with satisfaction: "This is the only way to enter that fertile land at present. The plateau giant tribe can carry heavy supplies for long distances in the mountains and mountains, and arrive first without fear of obstacles, quietly in an isolated and uninhabited wilderness." The establishment of villages, and the possibility of establishment of city-states in the future.”
Amon exclaimed in amazement: "As expected of the princess of the kingdom, she is really far-sighted, but if she does this, isn't she afraid of provoking disputes with the Kingdom of Hatti?"
Yin Nanna said meaningfully: "If disputes are inevitable sooner or later, it is better to prepare early. No matter which country you enter from, there will be a long and difficult supply line. If you can establish a stronghold first, you will have a great advantage... Ah Meng, don’t you want to go back to your hometown and rebuild your homeland? There will be fertile soil, flowing with milk and honey.”
