Traveling alone through the thousands of miles of desert, of course, you need to make enough preparations. In that environment, I am afraid that the elemental magic will not be able to condense enough water. Fortunately, Amon had a magical bone, so he condensed clean water by the lake, put it in a container and hid it with him, and then sat down to rest with Schrödinger in his arms.
In the early morning of the next day, Amon set off, just like when he left Duke Town, walking alone through the wilderness with a fine iron staff and a sleepy cat in his leather pocket. This time he did not enter the deep mountains, but went south in the desert to the distant and unfamiliar Ecu Empire.
Although it is winter, in the endless sand dunes, the sand reflects the scorching sun, and there is a piece of white flowers all around. There is no place to find a shade, as if it will dry people out in a short time. Even the scorpions got deep into the sand and no longer showed their heads. Amon walked unhurriedly without stopping.
He wanted to find a place to rest, but he found that there was nowhere to hide from the sun and heat waves. Instead of sitting on the hot sand, he might as well continue walking. If someone was around, they would notice that the air around Amon was cool, and he used divine magic. The main reason for doing this is not to make myself comfortable, but to worry about the cat in the leather pocket. Schrödinger was very weak, and Amon naturally couldn't bear to let him suffer from the scorching heat in the desert.
As he walked, he was recalling his experience during this time, what happened to Mei Danzuo, Princess Xiaoqian's plot, Yin Nanna's plan, and all the things he saw in the underworld. He felt a little relief in his grief that his father's soul was finally at rest, and that of Mayor Dusty was also released. I remember the old lunatic once said that Amon should thank and repay Dusti, find Moses and guide him to return to his hometown to rebuild his homeland. This is Amon's gratitude and repayment.
The soul of the mayor of Dusty told Amon that the underworld was not the real destination of the undead after death, but a world created by Hades with a magical technique that could control the undead. Amon followed Yin Nanna through the seven gates of the underworld, and had various mixed feelings. Could it be the so-called God's Domain of Hades? It is quite in line with the identity of Pluto. I don't know what are the different mysteries of the other gods' domains
Thinking back to the seven portals now, Amon always felt that there was something missing in them. It didn't fully show the destination world of the soul after death, and it disgusted Amon very much. The old lunatic asked him to find a way to become a god. If one day Amon really became a god, one of the things he would have to do was to destroy that Hades and build a real destination for the dead.
This is just the fantasy of a little fifth-level magician, but who can stop a teenager from realizing his dream? Erebi, the king of the underworld, might not have imagined that Amon would have such a wish after escaping from Hades. Even if Pluto knew it, it was just a sneer, and she would not take this little mortal seriously.
Walking in the desert under the scorching sun is a continuous consumption of divine power, and only Amon has such a habit. After experiencing the weakness of depleting his strength on the outskirts of Uruk, Amon also knew how to control and adjust to avoid falling into that situation again inadvertently.
When the sun was strongest at noon, Amon slapped his waist, and a cloud of water mist flew out from nowhere, condensing into an ice crystal cloud above his head, drifting forward with him without evaporating, just Like a parasol that reflects light. It would be great if there was a covered carriage. My own carriage was still left in the inn in Akkad Town——Amon just thought so when he looked up and saw a carriage approaching.
There is no road in the desert, as long as you can walk, but this car is running too fast. It is running wildly all the way at noon, and the driver is waving his whip and whipping the horse again and again. Is this trying to tire the horse to death? It didn't take long for the car to pass the sand dunes in front of it. The driver saw Amon's face beaming with joy from a long distance, and then realized that Amon was only walking alone, and shouted in the car with a disappointed face: "Desert The bandit is chasing, hurry up and hide!"
Amon grew up in Duke Town, and he often heard stories of desert robbers from the merchants who came to the town. The Syria Desert belongs to the junction of the three countries of Eju, Hatti, and Baron, and it is also an important commercial route between countries. There are caravans carrying a large amount of goods passing by, and naturally there are also robbers.
It is said that the robbers in the desert come and go like the wind and are extremely fierce. If they encounter one, it is difficult to survive. Some people even call these robbers the desert tribe. This is a no-man's land, and the surrounding terrain is very complicated. It is hard to tell which country's gangsters have flown here to do business in killing people and stealing goods. It is difficult to eliminate and track down.
Large caravans usually spend a lot of money to hire samurai guards, and small caravans also hire bodyguards, but they can only ask for luck when they encounter large groups of bandits. The driver was pretty good. He wanted to call Amon for help, but found that Amon couldn't save them, so he reminded Amon to hide himself.
The robber hadn't seen Amon yet, so he might be able to escape by hiding behind the dunes or burrowing into the soft sand to temporarily cover his body. Amon nodded towards the driver and said, "Thank you for reminding me, you don't have to be afraid, I'll stop the robbers."
He had heard the legend of desert robbers since he was a child, and this was the first time he met them. He was a little curious, not to mention that there was a chance to save people, so why not do something good? Amon waved his staff, and the cloud above his head quietly disappeared. He walked past the galloping carriage with a branch, and then heard the sound of horseshoes. Two people and four horses were chasing behind the sand dunes in the distance. .
Two robbers in black robes and cloaks covering their heads came after them on horseback, with a horse tied behind them galloping along. Holding the reins in one hand and the sharp machete in the other, they chased and shouted: "Fatty man, don't run anymore, stretch your head and shrink your head with a knife, hand over the money on your body quickly, and the uncle will give it to you!" You are happy. Otherwise, I will tie you up and leave you in the desert to be dried alive!... Hey, brat, who are you?"
The two robbers saw Amon who had passed by the carriage and suddenly appeared. They were surprised how such a person could appear and meet them without running or avoiding. The horse ran very fast, and the speaking time was right in front of him. The robber on the left immediately stabbed him with a knife. He was used to killing people, and he didn't even bother to ask who the other party was. In this kind of situation, whoever meets him will die.
The scimitar is made of fine iron, with a curved blade, which is very suitable for chopping and cutting with the power of a galloping horse. When the knife slashed at Amon, there was still a faint light on the blade, and the area covered by the sharp edge far exceeded the length of the blade. This is a martial skill that can only be possessed by a fifth-level warrior. No wonder the legendary Desert Clan So fierce!
But Amon didn't die, he heard a click, and the "branch" in his hand went up to meet the blade, passing through the edge and hitting the man's forearm holding the blade directly.
With a sudden scream, the robber's forearm was broken, and the knife flew out of his hand. But the "branch" didn't stop, it directly picked it up, the horse rushed forward, but the man was picked up in the air and fell heavily on the sand dune. The other robber didn't expect this at all. His horse had already run over, and in shock, he hurriedly reined in his horse and rushed towards Amon with his knife raised.
As a result, his horse "unfortunately" stepped on the soft quicksand. During the run, its front hooves sank and knelt down, and suddenly fell forward and rolled. The robber was caught off guard and fell off the horse, and was crushed heavily by the rolling horse. He didn't know how many bones were broken, and he passed out on the spot with a muffled grunt.
Amon cleaned up the two robbers with incomparable agility, which was the skill of a man and a horse.
He himself is also a fifth-level warrior, and his martial arts skills on horseback may not be as good as that robber. He didn't use any magic skills when dealing with the first person, and only used quicksand fall in the earth element magic technique to deal with the second person. But the opponent was too underestimating the enemy, the first strike was completely careless, and he never expected that Amon's shot would be so calm and accurate.
Amon had the experience of hunting in the mountains and knocking down all the beasts that came flooding in. Although the two men rushed forward aggressively, they didn't make him feel too much pressure. Moreover, the young Amon probably hasn't fully realized that he has unknowingly added another kind of temperament to him. He seldom feels fear and panic. All this may have something to do with experience.
I have seen the underworld, no matter how fierce the robbers in the desert are, how can they make Amon panic
It was the fifth-level warrior who fell into the sand dune in great panic. He raised his left hand and shouted: "Forgive me, I didn't know you were a lone hero! ... I didn't come to you, the offense is purely Unintentionally, if you let me go, I will reward you heavily, my coffers are full of gold and silver!"
"Hero, my benefactor, you must not let them go. They will bring a large group of robbers to kill you later. These two are the leaders of the desert bandits. They killed all the other people in the caravan. The servant drove me here in a carriage, fortunately I met you!"
A panting and sweaty fat man came running in the distance, and looking back, the carriage had stopped, and the horse pulling the cart collapsed to death on the sand dune, foaming at the mouth and twitching. After being whipped and galloped all the way under the scorching sun, pulling a cart and two people, the horse finally died of exhaustion. If Amon came a little later, they might have been poisoned.
When the terrified robber saw the fat man, his eyes lit up suddenly, he pointed at him and shouted to Amon: "Hero, that's him, he has a lot of money on him, you might as well kill him if you kill me, then you will get rich All the money on him is yours, if you let me go, I, Night Wolf, will give you double the reward, and I will pay you twice as much as this fat man has on you!"
This person is called Night Wolf. Amon has actually heard his name before. The merchants who came to Duke Town mentioned it several times. It is said that this person led his forty thieves to run amok in the desert. He is a very powerful bandit. Even the city-state sent troops to pursue and suppress them several times without success. The fat man was shocked when he heard the words, and tremblingly dared not go this way, he trembled and shouted: "Senpai, you saved my life, and I will definitely repay you. As long as I return to Egypt, I will pay you back." I can pay you three times this amount!"
Amon is so powerful, he took down two robbers in a blink of an eye, and walked through the desert alone, who knows where he came from? Maybe he is also a lone thief! If he had evil intentions, that fat man would be just as unlucky in this deserted desert. Thinking of this, how could he not be afraid, and the fat man hurriedly made a promise of great thanks.
However, Amon ignored the thoughts of the merchant and the robber, turned around and asked the fat man, "Are you going to Eju? There is also a carriage, um, very good! May I ask who you are and what happened to you?"
Amon's voice was not loud, but he had a kind of majesty. The fat man hurriedly bowed and said, "I am Xiou, a merchant from Memphis City in the Eju Empire. I transported goods to the city-state of Uruk in the Kingdom of Baron for sale. When it came to the robbers, it was just the two of them, but they killed the caravan's bodyguard and all the guys, and only me and my slave escaped here."
Amon asked again: "Going to Uruk for business, do you know Lescott Lee?"
Xiou was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Yes, of course I do. I sell a lot of goods to him, and I often buy things in his shop. Are you his friend?"
Amon: "It's still a friend, I once protected him once."
As soon as Xiou heard this, he "understood". Amon was a warrior and used to be Lescott-Lee's bodyguard. He hurried up a few steps and said, "Great, then we are friends too! You If you protect me and return to Egypt safely, I will thank you very much!"
Seeing that the two of them had become more and more familiar with each other, the robber shouted anxiously: "Hero, how can you trust a shameless businessman, they are worse than the robber!... You can get a piece of money now if you kill him." A lot of money, if you let me go, you are guaranteed to get another big sum of money, I, Night Wolf, have a reputation for being trustworthy in the desert!"
However, Amon didn't seem to have heard Yelang's words. He pointed to the four horses around and said to Xio: "Take all these horses, one of them is harnessed to the cart, and the other three are behind the cart. Let's go together, we I happen to be going to Eju too, so I can take you to the cape city-state along the way."
After the two robbers fell off their horses, the four horses stood in place, including the horse whose forefoot fell just now also stood up at this moment, and was not injured. The horse of Siora's chariot was dead, and there were three people in the chariot for a long journey in the desert. One horse was obviously not enough. The two unridden horses carried skin bags on their backs, which should be fresh water for drinking, which is also necessary for walking in the desert.
Before Xiou could order, the servant who drove the cart had already run over and took the reins of the four horses, pulled them to the cart side together, untied the leather bag from the horse’s back and threw it into the cart, and replaced it on the shaft He picked up a horse and shouted respectfully: "Master, this hero, the cart is ready!"
Night Wolf sat on the dune and yelled, "Hero, you can't do this!"
Amon picked up the two scimitars on the ground and handed them to Xiou, "Take this and don't keep it."
Xio shivered for a moment, but still took it carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to kill these two robbers?"
Amon shook his head and said, "I don't want to kill people."
Night Wolf injured his leg when he fell, and kept struggling to stand up. He shouted: "Since you don't want to kill us, why did you take the horses and water, we will die of thirst in the desert!"
Amon walked towards the carriage, and replied slowly: "I don't kill you, it's just because I don't want to kill people, it's not that you don't deserve to die! The knife you cut at me just now was like cutting grass, did you ever ask me?" Who is it, do you still want me to save you? If you don’t want to die of thirst in the desert, I have two suggestions. First, wait for the gods to save you. Second, commit suicide before being dried by the sun. Have fun by yourself."
These words made Xiou tremble again, Amon was really cruel, but it was only natural after thinking about it, if he hadn't dodged the knife just now, Amon would have died in the wilderness long ago. When getting into the car, Amon asked the driver, "What's your name?"
The driver replied: "My name is Aesop, and I am the slave of Lord Xio."
Amon nodded: "Aesop, you did a good job, let's drive back."
The carriage turned around, three horses were tied at the back, and three people sat on it, heading south. Xio lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at Yelang who was gradually disappearing from sight, and said, "He's dead!"
Amon said: "How do you know, maybe someone will pass by and save them."
Xiou: "This is impossible. Since the great flood, the north of the desert has become a vast swamp, and the land transportation has been cut off. No one takes this commercial road anymore. I went north because I was in a panic while fleeing. "
Amon nodded and said: "So that's the case, then they are indeed dead. That man is called Night Wolf. I have heard his name before. He has suffered a lot of blood and debts in the desert, so he deserves to end up like this."
But Xiou seemed to suddenly think of something, he slapped his forehead and said: "Benefactor, I have heard of the name Night Wolf. He has been harassing the commercial roads for many years. The lord of the cape city-state, Master Dick, offered a reward for arrest. Whoever can capture or cut him down alive There will be a large bounty for sending the head of the cape city-state, you almost missed this opportunity!"
Amon did not order the carriage to return, but pointed to the two scimitars on the ground: "I am not interested in asking for the money. If you want, the knife is at your feet. Go and chop off his head and bring it back to the city. The bounty is yours!"
Xiou trembled again: "I don't have the guts. If you don't want the bounty, then you don't want it. Anyway, as long as you get to the cape city-state, I will definitely thank you!" The fat businessman looked somewhat regretful. He didn't have the courage to take a knife to cut off the head of a gangster, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to accept the reward. Even if Night Wolf is dead, his thieves are still there. If he finds out that Xiou killed Night Wolf, will he still be able to follow this business path in the future
The carriage continued to move forward, and Xiou asked again: "Benefactor, I still don't know where you are from and what is your name?"
Amon replied: "My name is Amon." He only said his name, but did not introduce his origin, and Xiou didn't want to ask more questions. In the businessman's opinion, since Amon had been Lescott Lee's bodyguard, he might be a warrior who traveled around the continent.
