042, Where is the devil
Amon could not be good at all magical techniques, making all the artifacts, and proficient in all formations, but he could fully understand and master these. The old madman was not sure whether Amon could find Bell's whereabouts, but his purpose was to hope that Amon could unlock the secrets of the gods, so the more profound the knowledge of divine arts, the better.
The old madman also devoted his efforts to create a staff that could be compared with the Saint Staff passed down from generation to generation in the Temple of Isis, just to allow Amon to be familiar with and master various magical techniques in the shortest time.
After reading the latest information in the Eyes of the Earth, Amon couldn't tell whether he felt emotional or grateful. The old madman spent more than a hundred years to go to many countries and temples on the mainland, and to check or peek at many classics, to sort out such complete and detailed magical materials, and to leave the most essence of the information in the Eyes of the Earth.
But after reading the old madman's message, Amon's doubts became deeper. He just suspected that he had made a mistake, but now he doubted that he had made a mistake? Since he wanted to have various experiences in the world through the "devil's temptation", he had only been out of the mountain for a day, and he had only been walking around Sumer Town.
Where is the devil? What about the ghost? What about the ghost? What about the ghost? What about the devil?
But no matter what, Amon can already practice level five magical arts, so he is not in a hurry to cross the river first. He plans to find a secluded place to familiarize himself with this new power control method, practice the unknown effects of various magical arts he had practiced before, and it will be safer to continue rushing. After all, walking in densely populated towns, there are many magical arts that are not very convenient to practice.
He opened all four hidden grooves on the iron branch staff, took out all the original divine stones, and replaced them with the earth's eyes, the dark blue water heart, the wind charm dance, and the flame elves. He already possessed the power of an intermediate magician and an intermediate warrior at the same time, and could open the most hidden groove at the top of the staff and embed the tears of the gods in it.
But Amon thought about it and finally decided not to do that. He remembered that when he mined the tears of the gods, the natural power between heaven and earth was disturbed. At that time, almost all the people familiar with divine sensing in Duke Town were alarmed. You must be careful when using such things. If you don’t have the absolute certainty to protect and hide yourself, it’s better not to use them, so you still leave the tears of the gods in your bones.
Although his staff was not inlaid with tears of the gods, his staff was already shocking. Not to mention anything else, there was only one magical point that Amon had never seen before. The ordinary staff was inlaid with divine stones and was inseparable, and it was impossible to exchange them. However, this staff could change the inlaid with divine stones at any time according to their different uses, and could also inlaid various special divine stones in sequence.
Amon has learned how to make a staff, but how this iron branch staff is still incomprehensible, beyond his knowledge. Moreover, horse steel is not the material for making a staff. The material of the staff must be something with a breath of life grown in nature, such as wood or bones, but the old madman made such a magical staff with horse steel!
Amon lifted his staff and withdrew his magic array. He put away his things and went back along the same route. He found a secluded place in the mountains by the Youdi River and stayed for seven days. Then he walked out of the mountains again and walked downstream along the Youdi River to look for the ferry.
Amon's sudden action not only sent the mayor of Sumer town to look for him to avoid the person he had sent, but also made another "minded person" wait for seven days in vain.
The two sons were so unlucky that the mayor of Sumer Town was both angry and afraid. He knew that Amon must be a person who was not easy to mess with. Perhaps he was a prince who visited privately. If this were the case, his family would be in trouble. But no matter what, he had to find out Amon's whereabouts first, and he didn't dare to make such a scandal. He sent people to search for a few days in the town and had to give up. The foreigner should have crossed the river long ago.
This time, Amon walked out of the deep mountains. For the sake of caution, he took out the five intermediate magic scrolls he obtained in the mysterious cave and put them directly into his pocket, so that he could use them at any time. Once again, he came to the grass slope where he met Yin Nanna. The green grass was as bright as the shade, and the beautiful scenery was still bright and fresh. The blue sky was floating with white clouds, and the sound of the flowing water of the Youdi River in the distance was like singing a gentle song.
The scenery was still the same and the mood was also relaxed. While walking, he remembered Yin Nanna again. But Schrödinger reminded him to be careful of that woman and not offend her. Why is this?
Thinking of this in his heart, he walked through the undulating grass slopes, the shallow grassy river beach, and a series of continuous hills by the river, and came to a high slope next to the rapids and dangerous shoals. Amon was wonderingly walking so far but he didn't see the ferry when he suddenly heard a familiar cry. A young girl was crying on the slope, but she was extremely pleasant and pleasant. It was Yin Nanna's voice!
Is there such a coincidence in the world? What trouble did Yin Nanna encounter? Amon quickly ran up the high slope. From a distance, he saw Yin Nanna squatting on the ground holding a little lamb and crying, "Lost lamb, where are you going? I lost the whole flock and I am left with you! Who can tell me what to do? Who can send me back to my hometown? Poor fate is lamenting. Do you want me to jump out of the rushing river?"
After saying that, Yin Nanna let go of the lamb's neck, stood up and walked towards the edge of the high slope. She looked at the rack and wanted to jump off the Youdi River, and was wearing the skirt that Amon bought.
"Yin Nanna, don't worry. If you have something to do, you can say it slowly. Don't jump down!" Among's voice suddenly came from the bushes. He had already jumped over with a quick step and reached out to hold Yin Nanna's arm.
"Oh my God, Amon, it's you!" Yin Nanna heard his voice and fell into Amon's arms. She reached out to hug him and cried even more violently. The tears wet Amon's clothes on his chest. She murmured on his chest while crying: "I thought I would never see you again, and I'm going to say goodbye to this world!...Amon, why are you still here and not far away?"
Her body was so soft, exuding an attractive atmosphere. Her plump breasts rubbed against Amon gently, as if she was teasing her unintentionally. Amon felt that his body had begun to get hot. He wanted to push her away, but he stretched out his hand and gently hugged her. There was such gentleness in his arms, I believe no one would have to push it away. He lowered his head and asked softly: "I'll do something else. I'm going to cross the river today, but I happened to meet you again... Don't cry first, tell me what's wrong?"
While speaking, he thought to himself that Schrödinger had reminded him that "can't...she" and could he not hold her? Anyway, he had already hugged her, and it felt very good, so let's hug her for a while.
Yin Nanna raised her head in surprise from her arms and said with tears in her eyes: "Do you want to cross the river? Can you take me with you and send me to the other side of the Youdi River? I will thank you heavily!...If you can't take me away, I can only jump from here."
Amon said helplessly: "What happened? Tell me!" This was the third time he asked her.
Yin Nanna said with tears in her eyes: "I dare not tell others my identity, but here, you are the only person I can believe. Amon, I don't want to lie to you, do you know I am not a shepherd slave?"
Amon nodded and said to the truth: "I can see that you are definitely not an ordinary shepherd slave. Where exactly are you from and who is it?"
Yin Nanna still stayed in Amon's arms and refused to get up, telling him her story, which was a sad encounter. Her identity was noble and mysterious, and she could not even mention her name easily. Once when she was secretly out for fun, her convoy was ambushed by a robber at the border, fled alone, and wandered to a strange place.
She was penniless and no one knew her here, so she asked the boaters at the ferry for help, asking to send her across the Youdi River. However, the boaters coveted her beauty and made an inappropriate request, but she refused. She asked the locals at the ferry for help, but another person asked Yin Nanna to herd sheep for him.
The number of sheep cannot be small, and the squeezed milk and cut wool will be more and more. The newly born little lamb with black spots is the reward for Yin Nanna's shepherd. Thinking that even if she could cross the Youdi River, she would have to travel a long way to go home, Yin Nanna agreed to this condition.
Yin Nanna was shepherding the sheep by the Youdi River. From last autumn to this summer, seeing that there were more and more little lambs with black spots in the flock, she was filled with joy and almost got enough money to cross the river and walked home. But unfortunate things happened again. On the day when Yin Nanna went to find the lost lamb, the owner of the flock regretted it and quietly took away all the sheep with black spots, leaving only the little lamb that was retrieved for Yin Nanna.
Thinking of the hopelessness of going home, Yin Nanna cried here sadly, and even wanted to jump off the Youdi River in despair. Fortunately, she met Amon again.
This story is bizarre enough, and I'm afraid no one can believe it after I say it. Yin Nanna herself seemed to know this. After saying it, she looked at Amon pitifully and said, "Can you believe what I said? I don't know how to prove it, but I can write my name for you. I am indeed not a shepherd's slave."
After saying that, she gently pushed Amon, left his arms, squatted down and picked up a dead branch and wrote her name on the ground - Yin Nanna. Amon, who had just heard the bizarre story, was shocked again, and was convinced that Yin Nanna had a very noble background, because she not only knows how to write, but also writes divine texts!
She wrote a sword book, and what is even more surprising is that Yin Nanna drew a square circle outside after writing her name, and three flame-shaped stripes were drawn above the square circle. According to the writing rules of the divine text, the names of gods must be written in this way, otherwise it will be disrespectful; and only the names of royal nobles in the world can be written in this way, otherwise it will be beyond the rules.
When Schrödinger used Eju cursive writing "I", he also drew an arch-shaped circle outside, which was the same rule in cursive divine text. Now Yin Nanna wrote her name like this, it is confirmed that she is undoubtedly a nobleman, and she is not an ordinary nobleman. Not all nobles can write divine texts, and it is even more impossible to add such a symbol to her name.
"Yin Nanna, I believe in you. Your origin is indeed noble." Amon couldn't help but nodded as he looked at the handwriting on the ground.
Yin Nanna threw away the dead branches and stood up, turned her head in surprise and asked, "Among, do you understand the divine text?"
Amon quickly explained: "Even if I don't understand, I can recognize this as a divine text. You can write a divine text that has proved your origin......Dignity lady, in your identity, why can't you directly seek help from people but stay here to shepherd the sheep? And what can I do for you?"
He did not admit that he understood the divine text because it might reveal his identity as a magician. But an ordinary person who is illiterate can also recognize that Yin Nanna wrote the divine text. Many temples have carvings of divine texts, which write psalms praising the gods.
Yin Nanna said in a sad tone: "Don't call me a noble lady, Amon, just call me Yin Nanna, I like you to call me that... My identity cannot be easily expressed in this faraway place, otherwise I may be kidnapped and asked for a huge ransom. Some people will also send assassins to assassinate me before the welcome comes... Amon, I trust you to tell you this. If you help me cross the Youdi River and send me safely to the capital, I swear to thank you very much!"
Ruoyin Nanna's identity is indeed very noble and important. In this remote area close to the border of the kingdom, it is indeed possible that someone will be kidnapped and asked for huge rewards. She also said that if the news is leaked, there may be assassins coming to assassinate before the welcome, which may involve a complex struggle for palace power.
Seeing Amon's somewhat puzzled look, Yin Nanna reached out to hold his arm, and explained and begged with a delicate explanation and begging: "I have always suspected that my convoy was attacked by robbers and was assassinated by the political enemies of the royal capital. They must have thought I was dead. If I knew I was still alive, I would not be able to return to Barron City safely.
Amon, my handsome hunter, brave hero Amon! If you are afraid, you can just send me across the Youdi River, lend me some money and go to Barron City by myself. I can tell you a place where one day you go to Barron City and I have already returned home safely, you will receive a huge reward there."
Yin Nanna hugged her arm, and her tender chest was rubbing against his arm, and the charming fragrance penetrated into her nostrils. Amon also felt a little fluttering, but his head was still clear, so he asked a question: "Yin Nanna, how much does it cost to return to the capital after crossing the Youdi River?"
Yin Nanna replied with a little disappointed: "One gold coin is enough... Amon, even if you don't give it to me, I will always be grateful to you!"
Amon shook his head and said, "I didn't say I won't give you it, I just asked. Anyway, I'm going to Barron City, so I don't mind walking with you. If you want to walk with me, can you promise a few things? Otherwise, I'll give you twenty silver coins after crossing the river and you go home by yourself."
Yin Nanna said in surprise: "Tell me, I promise you! My hero, I really don't know how to repay you. Now I have nothing, even if I use myself to repay..."
Amon interrupted her and said, "Don't talk about repaying me first. I haven't fulfilled my promise yet. Don't you pay me after you arrive at the capital?...My conditions are very simple. I hope you can change into a coarse cloth, cover your beautiful figure, apply mud on your face, and cover your beautiful face...You don't want to be recognized on the way back, right?"
Amon learned from the lessons in Sumer town and was killed in the middle of the night because he accidentally exposed the divine stones on his body. On the other hand, some people coveted Yin Nanna's beauty. Amon felt that it was no big deal to take Yin Nanna across the river and go on the road. He was a helpful child, but he didn't want to cause the same trouble again.
Schrödinger reminded Amon not to anger Yin Nanna. Even if he listened to the cat, he could not watch Yin Nanna jump in front of him, right? If Yin Nanna's self-reported experience was true, it could explain why Schrödinger reminded Amon that a royal noble with a mysterious identity could not be easily angered. As Amon's "refugee" in a foreign country, he could not have too close relationships with her, otherwise it would be very troublesome.
Amon actually asked her to apply mud on her face! Yin Nanna's expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, and even a hint of undetectable anger flashed in her eyes, but in the end she said in a coquettish way: "Let's talk about it when we cross the river. It's still far from King Barron. No one will know me in this remote place. In fact, you can rent a carriage, and I hide in the carriage without showing up."
Amon nodded and said, "Well, you can rent a carriage after you cross the river. But just in case, you still have to change your clothes and apply mud on your face. This is for you and for my own safety."
Yin Nanna lowered her head and said, "Let's cross the river first. I'll lead the way and go to the nearest ferry."
Amon: "I was about to find someone to ask where the ferry is. It would be great if you know the road."
As a god, how could Mu Yun let a mortal like Amon apply mud on her face? Fortunately, Amon didn't let her do this now. After crossing the Youdi River, she led Amon down the slope. After walking not far, she saw several villages. There was another market town. The river not far from the market town was the ferry.
The ferry of the river is often a distribution center for business roads, so it naturally develops into a town. If a wide river wants to find a convenient crossing place, it must rely on natural geographical conditions. First of all, the river surface should be wide and the water flow should be slow. The water from a section of the river should not be too deep. The long poles should be able to hold it to the end. The wind direction is uncertain all year round, and the ferry is frequent, so it is impossible to rely on sails. Basically, manpower is required to support the boat.
Amon was very serious in his work and would never delay it. Yin Nanna didn't want to put mud on her face now. Amon took her to the town and bought a set of burlap clothes for ten copper coins. After changing it, he came to the ferry. The little lamb was always following Yin Nanna, without any need to lead her and not lost.
The ferry is very large, with both ends flat and wide in the middle. Unlike the crescent-shaped cargo ship, this ferry has shallow draft and can stand more people on it. Many of the ferry crossings are merchants coming and going, and the goods they carry also require payment of ship money. Each person crossing the river will be five copper coins, one sheep and two copper coins. Amon paid twelve copper coins and took Yin Nanna and the little lamb onto the ship.
Although the ferry is already the slowest, the water surface is the widest, and the shallowest, the water becomes very deep not far from the river bank. From the long pole water line of the boatman, it can be seen that the water surface is nearly thirty feet from the bottom of the river. It is difficult to support such a long pole. There are three boatmen on both sides of the ferry holding six polees to support the boat. The ferry carried more than 60 people, more than a dozen livestock and a pile of goods, and slowly sailed to the other side.
Amon and Yin Nanna did not squeeze into the cabin with a canopy, and led the little lamb to stand at the bow of the boat to look at the scenery on the other side. A cool wind blew on the river, and Yin Nanna's hair brushed on Amon's face. His cheeks and ears were itchy, and his heart was inexplicably itchy, but he felt very comfortable.
Amon seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. The breeze on the Youdi River was intoxicating. He even thought to himself: "It's actually very good to just walk with Yin Nanna like this. At least you won't be lonely on the road, and there is also a gentle and lovely guide."
Perhaps the intoxication of the hair brushing slightly affected Amon's reaction. When the wind swirled and the strange vortex rolled up on the river surface, he suddenly realized that there was a dangerous aura deep in the bottom of the river, as if a terrifying force was about to explode. Amon, who suddenly awakened, hugged Yin Nanna and jumped into the cabin behind him, shouted, "Be careful everyone!" He raised the iron branch staff and jumped to the bow of the boat.
The moment he raised his staff, the water surface in front suddenly separated a line, a huge long tail raised up, and he pulled it hard towards the ferry. Sure enough, there were terrible monsters lurking in the water. For some reason, he suddenly launched an attack on the ferry. This move was so familiar to Amon that the iron-armored beast king Yunmeng liked to dive into the water and play such sneak attacks.
This tail is much larger than Yunmeng's huge tail with bone armor. The part that flew out of the river was more than twenty feet long, thicker than a bucket. It had dark green scales the size of a palm, which looked like an amazingly large snake tail. It was pumped down in the air, with the sound of air being compressed and exploded. Its speed and power were imagined. It seemed that it could break the ferry with one blow!
But the stunning snake tail did not pull the hull. A nearly transparent ice cover suddenly appeared in the air to block it. The ice cover then made a harsh sound of shattering and turned into countless pieces. The long tail continued to hit and sucked on a turbid fog in the shape of a shield. The speed of dissipating the fog was slightly slower, and it still pulled down heavily.
Chapter completed!
