Chapter 42: Where is the devil

042 Where is the devil
Amon cannot be good at all the magic, make all the utensils, master all the formations, but he can fully understand and master these. The old lunatic didn't know if 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 theology, the better.
The old lunatic also devoted all his efforts to creating such a staff, which is comparable to the maiden's staff passed down from generation to generation in the Temple of Isis, in order to allow Amon to be familiar with and master various magical skills in the shortest time.
After reading the latest information in the pupil of the earth, Amon couldn't tell whether the taste in his heart was emotional or grateful. It took the old madman more than a hundred years to know how many countries and temples on the mainland, and how many classics he consulted or peeked at, so that he could sort out such complete and detailed divine information, leaving the best information in the earth. Hitomi.
But after reading the old lunatic's message, Amon's doubts deepened. He just suspected that he was wrong, but now he wondered if the old lunatic was wrong? Since the "temptation of the devil" is required to have all the world's experiences, it is only one day after I went out of the mountain, and I only made a circle in the town of Sumer.
Where is the devil? What about ghosts, what about ghosts?
But in any case, Amon can already practice the fifth-level divine magic. Instead, he can't rush to cross the river first. He intends to find a quiet place to familiarize himself with this new power control method, and to use the various divine magics he has previously cultivated All the unknown effects are drilled again, and it will be safer to continue on the road. After all, walking in densely populated towns and cities has many divine skills that are not easy to practice.
He opened all the four hidden grooves on the iron stick staff, took out the original stones, and replaced them with the pupil of the earth, the blue water heart, the charm of the wind, and the flame spirit. He already possesses the power of both a middle-ranked magician and a middle-ranked warrior. He can open the most hidden groove on the top of the staff and embed the tears of the gods.
But Amon thought about it, and finally decided not to do so. He remembered that when the tears of the gods were mined, the natural power between heaven and earth was disturbed. At that time, almost everyone who was familiar with divine induction in Duke Town was shocked. You must be careful when using such things. If you don't have absolute confidence to protect and hide yourself, you might as well not use them, so you still leave the tears of the gods in your bones.
Although there are no tears inlaid with the gods, his staff is already shocking enough. Besides, there is only one magical thing that Amon has never seen. The general staff is inseparable after being inlaid with the stone, and it is impossible to exchange it. However, this staff can be replaced at any time according to different uses, and various special stones can be inserted in turn.
Amon has learned how to make a staff, but how this iron stick staff was made is still incomprehensible, beyond his knowledge. Moreover, Ma Ganggang is not the material for making wands. The materials of the wands must be natural-growth life-giving things, such as wood or bones, but the old lunatic has made a magic wand with horse leather.
Amon lifted the staff and withdrew the magical array, and put away the thing and went back the same way. He found a quiet place in the mountain by the Youdi River for seven days, and then walked out of the mountains and along the Youdi River Walking downstream looking for the ferry.
The sudden move of Amon not only quietly sent the mayor of Sumer town to seek him out, but also made another "interested person" wait for seven days in vain.
The two sons had such a big mold. The mayor of Sumer town was both angry and scared. He knew that Amon must be a bad guy. Maybe it was a prince who was a private visitor. If so, his family People are going to be unlucky. But in any case, we must first find out the whereabouts of Amon, and this scandal is not dare to publicize. He sent someone to look around the town quietly for several days without any clue, so he had to give up, and the foreigner should have crossed the river long ago.
Amon walked out of the mountain this time. To be cautious, he took out the five middle-level divine scrolls obtained in the mysterious cave and put them directly into the leather pocket, ready to use. Once again came to the grassy where Yin Nanna was met, the green grass was still the fresh and beautiful scenery, the blue sky was fluttering with white clouds, and the sound of the flowing water of the Youdi River was like singing a soft song.
The scenery was still there, and my mood was soothing. During the stroll, he remembered Yin Nanna again. Schrodinger reminded him to be careful that the woman could not offend her. Why?
Thinking of this in his heart, he walked over the undulating grass slope, the riverbank with Asakusa, a series of hills along the river, and came to a high next to the rapids. Amon was wondering that he hadn't seen the ferry so far, and suddenly heard a familiar cry. A young girl wept on the high slope, but she cried so sweetly, 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, and when she was far away, she saw Yin Nanna crouching on the ground and hugging a little lamb, crying, and said, "Lost lamb, where are you going? I have lost the entire flock, and I have I've got you down! Who can tell me what to do and who can send me back to my hometown? Poor fate is lamentable. Would you want me to jump off this flowing river? "
After speaking, Yin Nanna loosened the lamb's neck, stood up and walked towards the edge of Gaopo. She wanted to jump off the Youdi River when looking at the rack, and she was still wearing the skirt that Amon bought.
"Yin Nanna, don't worry, you can slowly say something, don't jump down!" Amon's voice suddenly came from the bushes. He already leaped in a stride, and stretched his arms to hold Yin Nanna.
"Oh my God, Amon, it's you!" Yin Nanna heard his voice and fell into Amun's arms. She reached out and cried even more, her tears wet the clothes on Amon's chest. , Whispering and whispering in his chest: "I thought I would never see you again, and I have to say goodbye to this world! ... Amon, why are you still here and haven't gone away?"
Her body was soft, exuding a seductive breath, and her plump chest hugged gently against Amon, seemingly inadvertently fluttering. Amon felt that his body was beginning to feel hot, and he wanted to push her away, but reached out and hugged her gently. With such tenderness in his arms, I believe no one would be able to push it away. He lowered his head and asked softly, "I'm going to do something else. I'm preparing to cross the river today, but I just met you again .... ... Don't cry, tell me what happened? "
As he spoke, he was still thinking, Schrodinger reminded "Can't ... she", shouldn't he be able to hold her? Anyway, I already hugged it, and it feels very good, so hug it for a while.
Yin Nanna lifted her head in surprise and said tearfully: "Are you going to cross the river? Can you take me with me and take me to the other side of the Youdi River, I will thank you again and again! ... if You can't take me away, I can only jump from here. "
Amon said helplessly: "What happened, you tell me!" He asked her for the third time.
Yin Nanna said with tears: "I dare not tell others who I am, but here you are the only person I can believe in. Amon, I don't want to lie to you, do you know that I am not a shepherd slave?"
Amon nodded and said truthfully, "I can see that you are definitely not an ordinary shepherdess slave. Where do you come from and who are you?"
Yin Nanna still lay down in Amen's arms and told his story to him. This was a sad experience. Her identity was noble and mysterious, and she could not even mention her name easily. One time when she was secretly going out to play, her convoy encountered an ambush by a robber at the border, and fled alone, leaving to a strange place.
She was penniless, and no one knew her here, so she asked the ferryboat supporters for help and asked her to cross the Youdi River. But the boater coveted her beauty and made a non-partial request, and she refused. She asked the locals for help at the ferry again, but another person proposed a condition for Yin Nanna to herd sheep for him.
The number of sheep should not be small, and the amount of sheep's milk and sheared wool should also be more and more. The new born lamb with black spots is the reward for the sheep. Thinking of being able to cross the Youdi River, she would have to travel a long way to go home, and Yin Nanna agreed to this condition.
Yin Nanna shepherds at the Youdi River. From last fall to this summer, seeing more and more lambs with black spots in the flock, she was full of joy, and she was about to get around the long journey home across the river. . But the unfortunate thing happened again. On the day when Yin Nanna went looking for the lost lamb, the owner of the flock repented, and quietly took away all the sheep with black spots, and only gave Yin Nanna such a retrieve. Little lamb.
Thinking of being hopeless at home, Yin Nanna was crying sadly here. She even wanted to jump off the Youdi River in despair. Fortunately, she encountered Amon again.
The story is so bizarre that I'm afraid nobody can believe it. Yin Nanna seems to know this, and after watching it, she looks at Amon pitifully, "Can you believe what I say? I don't know How can I prove it, but I can write my name for you to see. I am indeed not a shepherd slave. "
After speaking, she gently pushed Amon out of his embrace, crouched down, 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, convinced that Yin Nanna had a fairly noble birth, because she not only wrote but also wrote divine text!
She wrote a sword book, and even more surprisingly, Yin Nanna wrote a square circle outside her name, and three flame-shaped stripes were drawn on the square circle. According to the rules of writing in the scriptures, the name of the deities must be written in this way, otherwise it is disrespectful; and only the names of royal and nobles in the world can be written in this way, otherwise it is excessive.
When Schrodinger wrote "I" in Iju Cursive, he also drew an arch-shaped circle outside, which is the same rule of cursive scripture. Now that Yin Nanna wrote her own name like this, it has been confirmed that she is undoubtedly of noble origin, and is not an ordinary noble. Not all nobles can write divine writing, and it is impossible to add such a mark to her name.
"Yin Nanna, I believe in you, your origin is really noble." Amon nodded, watching the handwriting on the ground.
Yin Nanna threw away the dead branches and stood up, turning her head a little surprised and asking, "Amon, do you know the God?"
Amon quickly explained: "Even if I do n’t understand, you can recognize this as the scriptures. You can write the scriptures to prove your origin .... Honourable lady, in your capacity, why not ask people directly Help but stay here to shepherd? And what can I do for you? "
He did not admit that he knew the scriptures, as this might reveal his magician identity. But an ordinary illiterate person can also recognize that Yin Nanna is writing a divine script, and many divine temples have carved divine script, writing poems praising the gods.
Yin Nanna said in a sad tone: "Don't call me noble lady, Amun, you call me Yin Nanna, I like you to call me like this .... My identity cannot be easily stated in this distant place, otherwise it may be People kidnap and demand huge ransoms, and some people will send assassins to assassinate me before the arrival of the greeter .... Amon, I trust you to tell you this. If you help me cross the Youdi River and send me safely Wangdu, I swear I will thank you heavily! "
If Yin Nanna's identity is indeed very noble and important, in this remote area close to the border of the kingdom, she may indeed be kidnapped for a huge reward. She also said that if the news was leaked, it would be possible for assassins to come to assassinate before the greeter, which may involve complicated court power struggles.
Seeing Amon's somewhat doubtful, Yin Nanna reached out and hugged his arm, and then explained and begged: "I have been wondering that the attack on my convoy by a robber was an assassination arranged by Wang Du's political opponents. They must think I Dead, if I knew I was still alive, I wouldn't let me return safely to Barron.
Amon, my handsome hunter and brave hero Amon! If you are afraid, you can just send me across the Youdi River, and then lend me a twist, I will go to Barron City myself. I can tell you a place where one day you will go to Barron, and if I have returned home safely, you will receive a huge reward there. "
The arm was held by Yin Nanna, the tender breast was holding his arm, and the charming fragrance smelled straight into the nostrils. Amon also felt that her body was floating, but her head was still awake, and she asked a question: "Yin Nanna, how much does it cost if you cross the Youdi River to return to Wangdu?"
Yin Nanna replied with a little disappointment: "One gold coin is enough .... Amen, even if you don't send me, I will always be grateful to you!"
Amon shook his head and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't give you away, I just asked. Anyway, I'm going to Barron, and I don't mind walking with you. If you want to walk with me, can you agree to a few? Matter? Otherwise I will give you twenty silver coins after crossing the river, and you go home by yourself. "
Yin Nanna was pleasantly surprised: "You say it, I promise you! My hero, I really don't know how to repay you, now I have nothing, even if I repay myself ..."
Amon interrupted her and said, "Don't talk about retribution first, I haven't fulfilled the promised things, haven't you got to pay me when you're in the capital? ... My conditions are simple, I hope you can change Coarse clothes, cover your beautiful figure, put dirt on your face, cover your beautiful face .... You don't want to be recognized on the way back, right? "
Amon learned this lesson in Sumer town, and suffered a murder in the middle of the night, because he accidentally exposed the divine stone on his body, but on the other hand, some people coveted Yin Nanna's beauty. Amon felt that it would not be a big deal to take Yin Nanna across the river. He was a helpful child, but he didn't want to cause the same trouble again.
Schrödinger reminded Amon not to offend Yin Nana. Even if she listened to the cat, she couldn't watch Yin Nana jumping in front of her, right? If Yin Nanna's self-reported experience is true, it can also explain why Schrödinger reminded Amun that way, a mysterious royal noble could not easily be offended. As a foreign "refugee" in Amon, you must not have too close a relationship with men and women, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
Amon actually asked her to put mud on her face! Yin Nanna's expression was a little embarrassing for a moment, and even an indescribable anger flashed in her eyes, but eventually she said diligently: "Let's say it when we cross the river, it is far from the king of Baron. People will know me. Actually, 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 waiting for the river. But just in case, you still have to change clothes and put mud on your face. This is for your sake and also for For my own safety. "
Yin Nana lowered her head and said, "Let's cross the river first. Let me lead the way to the nearest ferry."
Amon: "I was looking for someone to ask where the ferry is. It would be great if you knew the way."
How can Mu Yun, as a god, let a mortal like Amon put mud on his face? Fortunately, Amon didn't let her do it now, and waited until she passed the Youdi River, so she led Amon down the high slope. I walked not far and saw several villages. Then I went forward to another market town, and the river not far from the market town was a ferry.
Dahe's ferry is often a distribution center for business routes, so it naturally develops into a town. Wide rivers looking for a convenient place to cross must rely on naturally occurring geographical conditions. First of all, the river should be wide and the water flow should be slow. The water from a river can't be too deep. The wind direction varies throughout the year, and ferries frequently travel, and it is impossible to rely on sails. Basically, all people need to support the ship.
Amon is very serious in her work. She will never let it go. Yin Nanna is unwilling to put mud on her face. Amon first took her to the town to buy a set of burlap clothes for ten copper coins. Only came to the ferry. The little lamb has always been behind Yin Nanna, without being dragged or lost.
The ferry was very large, with two ends flat and wide in the middle. Unlike a cargo ship with a deep crescent shape, this ferry has a shallow draft and can hold more people on it. Many river-crossers are businessmen who come and go, and they need to pay for the goods they bring. Five copper coins for each person crossing the river, two copper coins for a sheep, and Amon paid twelve copper coins, and took Yin Nanna and the little lamb on board.
Although the ferry is already the section with the slowest water flow, the widest water surface, and the shallowest water depth, the water becomes deep not far from the river bank. It can be seen from the long waterline of the boatman that the water surface is away from the river bottom. Close to thirty feet. Such a long bow was struggling to support, with three boatmen on each side of the ferry holding a total of six long bows to support the ship. The ferry carried more than 60 people, more than a dozen livestock and a pile of cargo, and slowly sailed to the opposite bank.
Amon and Yin Nanna didn't squeeze into the sheltered cabin, and led the little lamb at the bow of the boat to look at the scenery across the shore. A cool wind blew from the river, Yin Nana'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. The breeze on the Youdi River was intoxicating. He even thought in his heart: "It's really good to walk along with Yin Nanna like this, at least I won't be lonely on the road. Human guide. "
Maybe it was the intoxication of the hair that slightly affected Amon's reaction. When the wind swirled and the river swirled strangely, he suddenly realized that there was a dangerous breath in the depths of the river. The power of fear is surging and is about to erupt. Suddenly awakening, Amon hugged Yin Nana and jumped into the cabin behind her, yelling "Everyone be careful!" Raising the iron stick and jumping up to the bow.
As soon as he lifted his staff, the water in front of him suddenly separated a line, a huge long tail lifted up, and hurled fiercely towards the ferry. There was a terrible monster lurking in the water. I don't know why he suddenly launched an attack on the ferry. This is a trick Amon is too familiar with. The iron beast king Yun Meng loves such a sneak attack underwater.
This tail is much bigger than Yunmeng's bone-tailed giant tail. Just the part flying out of the river is more than twenty feet long and thicker than a bucket. It has palm-sized dark green scales on it. Like an astonishing snake tail. It pulled down in the air, with the sound of compressed air bursting. Its speed and power are imaginable. It seems that it can break the ferry in one hit!
But the amazing snake tail did not draw the hull, and a nearly transparent ice cover suddenly appeared in the air to block it. The ice cover then made a harsh cracking sound and turned into numerous fragments. The long tail continued to hit and shielded the turbid mist in the shape of a shield. The speed of breaking the mist was slightly slower, and it was still heavy.
The space seemed to be twisted a bit, and the long tail seemed to be paused for a moment by a strange force, and then heard Amon's loud drink from the bow.
