044, everyone has their own secrets
044, Everyone has their own secrets
Why did Amon dress like this? He did not reveal his identity as a magician, because he was a shameless magician! When the ship boss asked this, everyone was curious. Amon had to explain with a stern face: "I have a mission, which is related to the secrets of the gods, so I traveled with a hidden identity. Please don't ask again, and don't preach to anyone!"
Oh, it turned out to be a magician who performed a secret mission. He didn't want to reveal his identity, but he had to use his magician because of the appearance of the monster! Amon ordered everyone not to ask questions or to publicize it to anyone. He just showed the powerful magician to save everyone's lives. Even if everyone was confused, they could only be timid and dare not say anything more, but some people were still very puzzled.
Even if a noble magician wants to disguise himself, he can still dress up as a nobleman, or an ordinary official or a wealthy businessman, and will not attract attention. Why is Amon dressed in a lowly civilian manner? This seems unreasonable! Some people even have a trace of doubts in their hearts. Will he be a magician? But it was just a flash of thought, and no one dared to be sure, let alone express such suspicion.
At this time, Yin Nanna walked up to the bow of the boat and hugged Ammon's arm and said softly: "In order to carry out the secret mission of the kingdom, our noble magician disguised himself as he disguised himself as a rough coat.... His mission is very important, and he must not reveal his identity. He should have killed all of you to silence him!... But since the kind magician saved you, he doesn't want to do this. If anyone reveals his identity, he will definitely be severely punished by the kingdom!"
These words shocked everyone, and everyone saw Yin Nanna's face clearly. She was such a beautiful girl. She should be the most beloved maid of the magician. She also took her with her disguise and kept her with her. People kept silent and no one dared to say anything more.
Yin Nanna looked at the bow of the boat again, suddenly her face changed, and she cried to Ameng with a delicate look: "Little lamb, where is my little lamb? It has disappeared, it must have fallen into the river! I wanted to take good care of it and not let it suffer any more...Ameng, I am so sad..."
Yin Nanna cried as soon as she said she cried. Her voice was so pleasant, but her expression was so pitiful. Anyone couldn't help but want to accompany her to cry when she saw it. A businessman quickly walked to the bow of the boat and saluted Amon and said, "Great magician, you saved everyone's lives and saved all my goods. If you lost things, you should ask all of us to compensate, so let me compensate her for her losses!"
The merchant brought the most cargo across the river. The two warriors just now were also bodyguards he hired. He was grateful to Amon for saving his life. The valuable goods carried on the ferry were not damaged at all. He wanted to take this opportunity to repay Amon. It would be beneficial to make friends with a noble magician.
Although Amon is carrying out a "secret mission", he will always complete the mission in the future and return to the city-state or temple. Taking advantage of the opportunity in front of him to get in touch, he may do better business in the city-state where Amon works. He wants to compensate not only a sheep, but a huge sum of money left a deep impression.
Amon looks very young, probably only about twenty years old, and has mastered such powerful divine power. He is definitely extraordinary. He throws out three precious scrolls without even blinking his eyelids. This businessman is not like those unknown guys, and he has no doubt that Amon may be a magician.
Some people may have private practice magic skills and become magicians without the temple's permission, but how could that kind of person have so many precious magic weapons and objects, and they do not hesitate to use them. Only with a huge temple resource supported by it can such a dignified young magician be cultivated. Amon's identity must be quite noble and has a bright future! - The merchant's judgment is very certain.
As the merchant spoke, the servant next to him had handed the sheepskin purse. Looking at the heavy weight in his hand, he knew it was full of gold coins. Amon asked in surprise: "I lost the lamb because there were monsters in the river. Why did you ask me to compensate?"
The merchant replied humbly: "If it weren't for you, the entire ship had sunk at the bottom of the river, my life and everyone else would no longer exist, and this goods and money would no longer belong to me... Your courage and strength saved everyone, so I should be grateful. Please do not refuse."
The ship owner also advised: "Great Master of Magic, you should accept everyone's gratitude, otherwise we will be uneasy." He was still pounding in his heart while speaking, and Yin Nanna's words just scared him.
The ship owner is knowledgeable and speculated that Amon's identity must be very noble. He used three scrolls when fighting monsters, and the cost was greater than ordinary people imagine. If he didn't express his gratitude, he would be afraid that Amon would annoy him and leave when others got ashore. The ship owner who could not escape would be in trouble.
Since that said, Amon didn't want to refuse goodwill. He looked at the merchant and nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, I bought that lamb for two silver coins. If you want to compensate me for my losses, give me two silver coins."
These words stunned everyone in the boat. The two silver coins were not worth mentioning to a noble magician. Amon either accepted the merchant's generous gift or simply refused to show his generosity. On the other hand, in the eyes of ordinary people, buying a little lamb with two silver coins is expensive, and it is clearly a blackmail. The noble magician extorted the rich businessman with a small amount of money for a lamb, which was simply inexplicable!
Except for Yin Nanna, no one knew that Amon was telling the truth. Not everyone in the cabin saw that Amon had just used the scroll. Some people didn't know what was going on even if they saw it. They even really suspected that Amon was a magician. Some people had experience and knew how precious the scroll Amon used was.
Yin Nanna said in Amon's ear delicately: "Sir, we have lost more than one lamb. You have also spent three precious scrolls to kill the monster." This seemed to be a whisper, but the voice was not loud, but it made everyone in the boat hear it clearly.
Someone spoke: "Lescott Lee, a wealthy businessman in Uruk City, why do you only compensate the noble magician, one lamb, and why don't you compensate those three magic scrolls?"
Someone else said, "Boss Boss, you are also a rich man. The magician has saved your ferry and you should also compensate for those precious scrolls."
No matter how everyone guessed, everyone wanted to thank Amon, and they were afraid that they would offend the disguised magician because of this incident. Anyway, if the merchant and the ship owner paid the money, what's wrong with making others feel generous?
The ship owner was sweating as soon as he heard this, and he wanted to throw the nonsense person into the river. The merchant Nescott Li also complained secretly. He wanted to take this opportunity to pay a lot of money to make friends with this young and noble magician, but if he sold the goods he brought with the ship owner, he would probably not be able to afford the scroll.
The magic scroll is not an ordinary circulating commodity. Ordinary people cannot buy it even if they want to buy it, and only magicians can use it. But as long as it is useful, it can be priced at a high price. In the divine art academy of the royal capital or the temples of the great city state, noble and wealthy nobles can "request gifts" from the scroll maker, or spend a lot of money to ask someone to make it. No matter how you get it, the price will be very expensive.
Amon waved his hand and said, "I use the scroll to save my life. I don't need anyone else to compensate me. Thank you for your kindness. If you really want to repay me, don't hinder me from completing the mission. After you get off the boat, don't reveal my identity as a disguised person, that's it!"
The ship owner quietly wiped his sweat. The merchant also breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "My name is Lenéscott-Lee. He is a merchant from Uruk City, a noble magician. If you have the opportunity to pass by Uruk City after completing the mission, I will definitely do my best to treat you the best." These words were completely sincere. Amon had no intention of asking the people on the ship to compensate the scroll. As for the lamb, it was just because of the noble status of the owner.
Amon smiled and nodded, "Okay, I remember!" This continent is so strange to him, so it's better to have more people to know. Apart from Medanzo and Yin Nanna, who has a mysterious identity, he doesn't know anyone else, and he has a good impression of this businessman.
The ferry arrived on the other side, and everyone bowed to Amon to express his gratitude when they left. Amon stood at the bow of Yin Nanna and smiled and nodded, saying that they were the last to get off the boat. There was also a market town not far from the ferry on the other side. Everyone on the boat followed Amon's instructions and did not reveal his identity. At least no one in this town talked too much, because the magician had not left yet.
Someone on the other side saw the thrilling fight in the river from afar and asked what happened to the people who came off the boat? Everyone had to say that the monster appeared during the day, but was killed by a magician on the boat. However, the magician had a secret mission and did not want to show up, so he left quietly after getting off the boat. Although Amon did not reveal his identity, the matter could not be covered up and the news spread like wildfire.
After Amon got off the boat, he first went to the market to find a carriage so that Yin Nanna could take the ride. The road was far from the capital, so a girl could not walk thousands of miles away. At the market, he happened to meet Lescott-Li, commanding a group of guys to load the unloaded carriages on the boat into several carriages. When he saw Amon looking for the carriage, he took the initiative to walk over and said, "Sir, take my carriage for use, I will give it to you. It is my best carriage and horse."
Amon shook his head and said, "I'm just walking for a while. You don't have to send me such a good carriage."
The decoration on Lescott Lee's carriage was obviously used by civilians. Although it was comfortable and luxurious, it was probably not as good as the carriage carried by a noble magician. He heard Amon say this and quickly said, "There is no better carriage in this town. You can take this carriage for the time being. Even if it is lent to you, it will be possible to use it any time. If you can still remember me in the future, you can send someone to send the carriage back."
Lescott-Lee had a good idea. He might know Amon's identity through the carriage. Amon thought for a while and said, "Okay, thank you, I will return you to the carriage and horse!" He was going to find Medanzo at the first stop, but sooner or later he would go to the cape city-state of Eju to return Nero's staff, and pass by this place again, and just soar and return the carriage and horse.
When he got off the ferry, Amon made a decision. The second thing he had to do when traveling on the mainland was to fulfill Nero's last wish. Although Nero was one of the great magicians who chased Bell, the execution of the oracle and the kingdom's laws was not a personal grudge. He knew that he would die, but he was ordered to go without hesitation, which was even admirable.
It was the scroll left by Nero that saved Amon's life today. The merchant knew that he should repay Amon himself, and he should also repay Nero, and sent his staff and ring to the Cape Temple as his last wish.
He did not stop in the town for much time. He drove Yin Nanna away from the ferry but did not walk the official road, but turned into a path in the wilderness. The east bank of the Youdi River is within the territory of the Uruk city-state, with open terrain, grasslands, farmlands and low hills and forests everywhere. The land in the area of Duke Town is much more fertile, rich and prosperous.
Amon was not very good at chasing the carriage. It took him a long time to barely control the reins and let the horse walk along the road at Tianzhan. He even used the power of Qiyuansu magic to control the horse. There was always a gust of wind next to the carriage to guide the direction out of thin air.
Yin Nanna picked up the curtain and smiled, "Among, my brave hero, handsome hunter, and noble magician, you are not good at driving a carriage, right? Why did you use magic skills instead of whip? A well-trained good horse will know which direction to run whenever you hear the whip sound... There is a whip on the carriage, and I advise you to change to the whip rope given to you by the shepherd in Sumer Town."
When buying sheep outside Sumer town, the shepherd gave Amon a whip rope, which he kept in his leather pocket, and he didn't care much. At this moment, he heard Yin Nanna's reminder, he took out the whip rope but was surprised. Then he took out a ball of things from his leather pocket, which was the piece of snake tendon that was fished out in the river.
This whip rope looks so similar to the snake tendons of the strange snake. It is not only like it, but it should be the same material!
But there are differences between whip ropes and snake tendons. They do not shrink into a ball, but they spread like a rope, as if they have undergone some special processing. Although Amon has the theoretical knowledge of making various magical objects, he cannot tell at the moment what method to use to process the snake tendons into whip ropes. After all, he has never really used any objects to make them.
The terrifying Amon of the strange snake was experienced by himself. A shepherd actually made a whip rope with snake tendons and gave it to Amon casually. Then his identity is absolutely extraordinary, so mysterious that it is hard to guess! Since Yin Nanna reminded Amon, she was obviously informed, so she took Amon out of the town to buy sheep, and there should be other intentions!
Yin Nanna once said that her identity was mysterious and noble, and she could not even mention her name easily. Now it seems that her experience is probably even more difficult. Amon changed the whip rope and gently whipped forward. The two horses in front of the car drove forward with brisk steps, without any more control, and it seemed extremely easy to drive the carriage.
The vast fields are beautiful and the horses run happily, but Amon inexplicably felt a chilling air coming from the back of his neck. Seeing this whip, he realized that he seemed to have been used. He met Yin Nanna, the shepherd in Sumer Town, and the monsters that suddenly appeared in the river. Everything seemed to be arranged by someone.
Yin Nanna's experience will never be as simple as she said, and she will never happen to meet Amon. - No wonder Schrödinger reminded him like that!
Amon drove the carriage to the small road in the fields. In addition to trying to avoid the people on the boat, he also wanted to ask Yin Nanna alone, but he didn't dare to speak at this moment. What was this mysterious and beautiful woman's idea? Yin Nanna sat in the tent behind her, Amon's back was a little stiff. After a while, he asked: "Yin Nanna, we are not on the road leading to the Barron Capital. Do you know this road? Will you go wrong?"
Yin Nanna stretched out a hand and gently put it on his shoulder: "The road is under your feet, I am your guide. Even though you go forward, this road can go around Uruk City State along the east bank of the Youdi River, and return to the Avenue to continue to head towards Baron City... I lost the little lamb across the river, but I still have you - my handsome Amon! Why are you a little nervous? What touched your heartstrings? You must have something to ask me, why don't you ask?"
After crossing the river, Yin Nanna spoke to remind Amon of the strangeness of the whip rope, which was a hint. She knew that Amon would react to something, and she must be full of questions in her heart. She smiled and asked him to speak out on his own initiative.
Her hands were weak and boneless, and it should feel comfortable to put them on her shoulders, but Amon was a little scared, even more nervous than when facing the strange snake in the river. But he thought about it carefully again. Yin Nanna should have no malice towards him, so he tried his best to ask a question naturally: "Yin Nanna, how do you know I am carrying a scroll?"
When he was on the boat, he wanted to ask, but it was inconvenient to speak in front of everyone. Fortunately, Yin Nanna's reminder, Amon remembered to take out the scroll and kill the strange snake, saving his life. But he had never opened the skin pocket for Yin Nanna to see, nor did he reveal the secret of his magical skills. How could Yin Nanna know that there was a scroll hidden in his skin pocket?
