Chapter 048: Devil on Earth
Of those snake tendons, Amon actually felt that it has a similar blue water heart. Of course, they cannot be used as stones, but if they are processed into weapons such as whip or bowstring, they can greatly assist the power of water elemental magic. If used on a warship, its power can be maximized.
Amon intends to study the snake tendons in his hand after returning, maybe he can use it to make the first magic artifact he has processed. He remembered the weird snake that had been killed in the Youdi River that day. There must be four fangs frozen in the ice and blasted into the water. Unfortunately, he didn't find it at the time. Although the snake's tendons and fangs of that weird snake are far from being comparable to the spoils of En Qidu, they are also very rare and precious artifact materials.
The gift of Gilgamesh showing off to the whole country is really precious! Just when Amon thought so, the team had passed the city gate, and he hurried into the crowd of cheering crowds and quickly entered the capital of Barron.
The parade passed through the city of Barron to the square in the center of the city. This large square can hold hundreds of thousands of people, right in front of the magnificent main temple of Marduk, opposite the palace, and on the left is Pakistan. Kingdom of God Theological Academy, on the right is the Heroes' Glory Memorial. The memorial hall is dedicated to the famous heroes in the history of the kingdom. It is not surprising that the names of Gilgamesh and Enqidu will be engraved and worshipped there after their death.
The people gathered on one side of the square, and a semi-circular cordon blocked the people under the long steps of the temple. King Hammurabi II of Barron led the ministers to personally welcome the arrival of Gilgamesh here.
A city owner is naturally not qualified for the king to welcome him, but Gilgamesh ’s beheading of Humubaba attracted the attention of the country. This is also the glory he deserves. After all, Humbaba ’s fangs and snake tendons are at the front of the team. Hammurabi II also took the opportunity to show his favor. The news spread long ago, and the city leaders of the nearby city-states also rushed to the king to watch it lively. Standing behind the king and watching Gilgamesh looked complicated.
The look is also complicated by a group of royal nobles. Everyone knows that Gilgamesh is the fiance of Princess Xiao Qian, and also knows that the Kingdom of Barron may face a dispute over the throne in the future. Someone muttered Gilgamesh's move in his heart. Deeply, is anyone still thinking about which side to stand on? Gilgamesh's smile was bright and calm. He also knew the rumors in the kingdom that he might usurp Barron's throne after he married Princess Xiao Qian.
The purpose of Gilgamesh's move was, on the one hand, to show loyalty to the kingdom and the gods. He killed Humbaba and dedicated the snake tendons and fangs to the Marduk Temple. Obviously he was declaring to the gods that Humbab violated the agreement between Marduk and Enril. If Enril had any thoughts, He said he should go to Marduk. On the other hand, it is also a warning. He is not afraid of the patron saint of Youdihe, and naturally will not fear anyone's slander and threats.
He was so swayed to the king that he accepted the cheers of all people and greeted the king himself, and he did not care about the rumors in the kingdom. The city-state hero was extremely proud! His captain, En Qi, the first warrior on the mainland, did not come to Barron with him. He also brought simple ceremonies, and did not let the city's army follow in the name of escorts, which made many people inexplicable. Breath.
Amon was watching the crowd in the crowd. He didn't care about En Qidu. He thought that Yin Nanna would also enter the city with Gilgamesh, but he did not see it. In the royal welcoming team in front of the temple, Yin Nana was not found. . When Gilgamesh was accompanied by the king and the high priest of the kingdom into the temple and the atmosphere of the square reached a climax, Amon quietly left to look for Medanzo.
Today, Barron City is almost empty, and Amon walked through the street all the way, looking for the helpless folks in the caretaker shop to ask for directions, and finally came to Medanzo's house. This is a century-old house. It has been renovated and rebuilt in recent years, and it looks pretty and spacious. A long time ago, this neighbourhood should be a settlement of nobles, but after the old king Hammurabi I expanded the king ’s city and built a more magnificent main temple, the Princes now mostly live in Nancheng, and the Dongcheng area is basically new. The settlement of wealthy civilians.
There are many shops and inns nearby. The area should be bustling and noisy, but it is quite quiet today. Although Mei Danzuo lost his identity as a nobleman, he still lived in the ancestral home and hired a concierge, a groom, a servant, and a servant girl. Maintaining such a pomp is bound to cost a lot, no wonder he will privately resell precious fine iron and Marc Steel to make money.
Amon was very unfortunate. The concierge told him that the owner, Medanzo, had gone out a few months ago, and had not yet returned, and his mother was not at home. Today, she went to the square in front of the temple to see the excitement. This made Amon a little surprised and disappointed, but he flew across a thousand miles, but it was normal to think about it. It was almost two years since Medanzo had left the savage, and he probably went to Link again. There.
Since it ’s not easy to turn around and leave, Medanzo is not here. It ’s okay to meet his wife and say hello. If there are any difficulties at home, they can help solve it. Anyway, Amon has money and time. He waited in the foyer of the mansion, and it was n’t until dark that Medanzo ’s wife, Malia, took the maid home, and heard that a friend had come to visit Medanzo and came to the side hall. see.
Amon was slightly surprised when he saw Mia Li, he was so impressed! While outside the city gate, he saw Malia and her maid in the cheering crowd, and she also screamed at Gilgamesh while waving her headscarf. Amon originally thought that this man was the eldest girl, but did not expect to be Medanzo's wife.
Miyali saw Amon wearing half-used hessian clothes, cloth shoes covered with mud, and a rough stick like a tree stick next to her, and her brows frowned slightly, keeping polite as much as possible, asking politely. Come here. Amon took out a golden sign and put it on the table and said, "My name is Amon, I once told Medanzo that I would come here to visit. He must have mentioned me to you, right? This is my token. I wonder if you know? "
Miyali recognized the sign as soon as she saw it. Mei Danzuo told her before she left. If anyone comes here to take out the sign, she must give the best reception. The token in this man's hand was not only retained by the benefactors of his family, but he was also Medanzo's most respected teacher.
When she saw Amon come up with this brand, she was very confused and even annoyed. The person who came was obviously a lowly foreigner and very young. How could she be willing to leave such a strange man at home for the best hospitality? The benefactor on Mei Danzuo ’s ancestor has long since died. What is the relationship between her and a teenager holding a sign? It is obviously impossible to see Amon's appearance as a teacher of Medanzo!
Mei Danzuo returned home last time. She had n’t closed her door for more than a year and was not doing business. This time, she said she had to go to business again, but she had n’t heard from her for months. Already. Now that Medanzo himself did not return home, he came to such an inexplicable "debtor", how could he not make people angry?
Thinking of this, Miyali tried to be as polite as possible but said very coldly: "Sir, I'm really sorry! I don't know this brand and I don't know you. Medanzo is not at home, and I dare not accept a strange man. Let the neighbourhood neighbors gossip. He went out two and a half months ago and said that he will be back for up to three months, and the days are coming soon. Can you come again in a few days? When Medanzo comes home, I will definitely give you The warmest hospitality. "
After saying this, she invited the porter to drop off her guests, and didn't even leave Amun for a meal!
Amon hit a soft nail and ate behind closed doors. If he had just walked out of the mountains, he would have been wrong. But after this long journey, he saw the warmth and warmth along the way, and he could understand why, why bother with a woman? Her husband was away for a long time, and a strangely dressed man came to ask for hospitality, and no one would be happy.
He said to Miyali: "I live in a nearby inn and I will come back when Medanzo comes home." When I went out, I saw the worn-out cloth shoes on my feet and the shoes. Amon smiled bitterly at the dirt.
Mia Li turned away from Amon, and did not give the best hospitality according to her husband's instructions. After all, there was a lack of food, and the maid Fusha was quietly followed to see where Amon would live, and figured out in her heart. Speech. Amon certainly knew that Miyali's maid was quietly following herself, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He came to a nearby inn and asked for the best room with a foyer. The money for the room was two silver coins a day! The maid's return surprised Malia.
Amon did not do this for the purpose of enjoying or showing off. He walked through the city-states and knew that the better he lived, the less trouble he usually had. If you live in the cheapest large inn, many people sleep in a straw bed and squeeze a room. Even if the neighbourhood neighbour is lost by a thief, the first place to be investigated is that kind of place.
On the other hand, Amon also needs to practice divine meditation every night. He needs a quiet and undisturbed environment. There can be no remote mountains in the city of Barron. He can only find the most expensive room in the inn. You won't be interrupted without notice, and it will save you a lot of trouble.
The next day Amon stepped out of the inn and went to a nearby clothing store to buy clothes. After a long journey, his original linen was worn out and worn, and the two new ones he bought in Sumer town were old. What's more, it's getting cold in the early winter, and it's not appropriate to wear thin clothes to walk on the street. Even if he is not afraid of the cold, he can't look too dazzling.
He bought two pairs of comfortable leather-soled soft boots in the ready-to-wear store, the kind that Medanzo wore when he was hiking long distances. It was strong, beautiful and durable, and two light fur coats. According to the laws of the Kingdom, civilian dress cannot be embroidered with excessive patterns, but the beautiful pattern on the fur of the beast is natural and is not an offense. Therefore, all kinds of furs are the favorite of wealthy merchants with noble status. The price is also very expensive.
Amon was accustomed to wearing animal skin clothes in the savage tribe. This dress was very similar to the master of a wealthy businessman who came out to play and went to the king to meet the world. Amon had just bought her clothes and changed them, but she just happened to meet Miyali's maid, Versa, to pick up the winter clothes made by her mother a month ago.
The shop owner was very dissatisfied and said, "These two sets of furs are worth thirty silver coins, but you don't pay cash to be credited. My business also needs capital. How can I be in arrears?"
Fusha quickly explained: "My master will be back in a few days. At that time, I must return all the benefits, so please let me take my clothes off first, otherwise my mother will scold me."
The shop owner calmly said, "What is your relationship with your mother-in-law scolding you? Since your owner can come back in a few days, you can come back in a few days to get it! It ’s like you, my business is still doing Don't do it? "
Amon saw this scene, and secretly said that Medanzo was not easy to make money, and his woman was generous enough to spend money. These two clothes were more expensive than he just bought! But he couldn't see that Medanzo's wife couldn't get the new winter clothes, came forward and took out two gold coins and handed it to Fraser: "Aren't you Maidzo's maid? I'll pay him for this money first Wait for Medanzo to return and let him visit me. He knows who I am and you know where I live. "
When Amon returned to the inn, someone came to visit him soon. The seeker was Medanzo's wife, and he took all the servants in the house to wait outside the inn. Although the road was short, the carriage was ready.
Miyali apologized as soon as she saw Amon: "Dear guest, you are my master ’s teacher, but I have neglected you. Please forgive me for my fault! ... I did not recognize and did not recognize it yesterday. Brand, but after you left, I found out the family heritage map, and it became clear that you really represent the identity of the family benefactor. "
Amon waved with a smile: "You don't have to apologize. If your husband is not at home, it is really inconvenient to take in a strange man. How can I blame it?"
Miriam: "Please don't say that. Now that I know your identity, how can I keep you in the inn? The house has packed the best room, the servant has prepared a rich dinner, and the carriage is Waiting at the door, please come with me .... If you refuse this kind of treatment, my husband will blame me when he returns. He had told him long before he went out, but I turned you out yesterday. Repent, please give me a chance to make up. "
She asked for a long time, only to say that this was Medanzo's advice, and she must not dare to neglect Amon, and Amon nodded. It is more convenient to live in Medanzo's house than to live in an inn, and he just wants to find It's just a quiet place, so I left the inn and went home with Malia.
Amon lives in Medanzo's house, and Miyali treats him well. The servants also respect him, and they call him "Master Amon" when they meet. But after the deadline agreed by Medanzo and his family, he never saw anyone return, and Amon couldn't help but be anxious. Is something wrong with Medanzo on the road? Although he is a mid-level samurai, he may be in danger of selling long-distance sales of official controlled materials.
Miyali is curious about Amon's identity. She always finds a chance to try to spy, and asks his origins many times. She also asks why Medanzo called his teacher? Amon naturally will not easily reveal the bottom, but only said that he met Medanzo while traveling, and taught him some techniques that he had learned, so Medanzo would call his teacher. As for the token in hand, it was left by the elders because it was able to get acquainted with Medanzo.
Malia has heard the legend of Medanzo's ancestors. Medanzo's great-grandfather was a sixth-level magician and priest of the Marduk temple, but he did not know where he was buried during the war. Later, a distant hunter got his relic, and sent it back to Barron for thousands of miles to save the family in trouble at the time. Medanzo also vaguely mentioned a few years ago that the hunter got a magic book left by his great-grandfather to become a magician, which happened more than a hundred years ago.
Medanzo didn't return. I didn't know what happened, and Malia had another thought. One day she said to Amon, "You have been with the king for a while, but you always have to walk around the house and the yard. There are many interesting places in the king. You may not be familiar with this, I will let the groom carry you Versa is a guide to accompany you everywhere. "
Amon also wanted to look around the king's capital, a familiar guide is best, but nodded and agreed. On this day Amon went out in the carriage of Medanzo's house, and Maid Versa accompanied him. Before leaving, Malia specifically told Fraser to take Amon to a few places, play fun, eat delicious food, wait until dark, and then go home, do not come back halfway.
After Amon left, Miri sent his servant to the front yard, and quietly went upstairs into his room, carefully picking his parcels lightly. Amon was very cautious. The heavy branch staff was naturally inconvenient to take out and put on the bedside, but the four special crystals inside were taken away and put into the bones.
The shape of the bone was a human rib. To prevent loss, Amon hid in his clothes. It was hidden and safe under the ribs. It contained his most important things, including the mysterious cave. All relics. The big leather pocket was not carried on his back, and the changed clothes were also placed in the room. There was also a small leather pocket in the big leather pocket, which was his wallet.
Amon is rich enough, not to mention the four special stones, just the items obtained in the belly of the mysterious mountain, any one of them is quite precious, and naturally cannot be easily exposed. But he didn't care much about money. He just knew it was important when traveling to the mainland. In fact, he didn't have to spend any money.
After entering Barron City for a while, he needed to stay and buy something, so he put his "currency" in a money bag, including gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, and stones. Putting things back and forth in that bone is to perform space magic. The bone itself will not be detected by the detection magic, but the power fluctuations during the space magic may be discovered. Everything needs to be careful. Can use as little as possible without bones, but here is the capital.
When he left the town of Duke, he brought five stones, and picked nine more scattered stones in the cave. After crossing the Youdi River, Gilgamesh "compensated" his ten stones. I gave Medanzo, Cain, and Abel each along the way, and the remaining twenty-one divine stones were useless. At the moment, they were put in small pockets with coins. Naturally, he couldn't bring so much money with him when he went out, only to put some coins in his pocket.
Miali found that there were only a few sets of Amon's clothes when changing clothes, but she opened the small leather pocket to see the dazzling stones and gold coins, and took a breath of air. This is a huge sum of money, the money that Dame Danzo has earned for decades!
Although there was no one in the room, she felt so nervous, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't even breathe for a moment. She wanted to put the bag in, but she couldn't bear to put it down for a long time. After she put it down, she stroked her chest with her hands, took a few deep breaths, and began to carefully check other things in the room. Except for clothes and leather pockets, Amon had nothing else but the tree-like cane leaning against the bed.
Miyali took the "twig" with her hands, and almost did not flash her waist. It was so heavy that she didn't even lift one hand. Miyali stretched out her two hands before lifting the cane off the ground, and suddenly wanted to "understand" something in her heart.
She was somewhat clear about what Medanzo was doing to "sell". It seemed that the stick turned out to be a whole piece of horse leather, but it was disguised as a tree branch. No wonder Amon kept insisting that the maid should not clean up his room.
The young man had huge sums of money, but when he first came to Barron, he was so simple, there must be something invisible. He must be a "business partner" of Medanzo, who specializes in privately purchasing official controlled fine iron and Magnesium steel. This kind of thing is privately traded in small quantities, but it is a felony for a large number of specialized acquisitions and smuggling.
He really made a lot of money! Mia Li lamented in her heart, and at the same time re-judged the arrival of Amon. He just came to the house at the time agreed by Medanzo, and must have come to collect the goods, but Medanzo did not return. I'm afraid people won't wait too long. As for Medanzo's remarks before leaving home, they should all be covert pretexts, not wanting to reveal Amon's identity as an illegal black market businessman.
Miyali flustered to restore the contents of the room to the original, and then stomped downstairs and returned to her room. She felt that her breathing was messy and she was sweating. She asked Versa to pour water for herself but no one agreed. I remembered that the maid had accompanied Amon out to play. It was then that someone came to visit her brother, Enoch, the son of a businessman in Barron.
When Enoch entered the door, he said unhappyly, "My sister, I heard that you have accepted a strange man to live at home. Today I asked the concierge, and you asked Fusha to accompany him to play .... God, did you send Fusha back to her mother's house to borrow money? Is it just to treat the man? "
