Vol 2 Chapter 53: Who kidnapped who

Chapter 053: Who Abducted Who
Diqi answered with dissatisfaction: "Of course everything was delivered. Didn't you see the convoy outside? But I'm here to redeem people, not to give gifts. When the things you want arrive, you should let Princess Xiaoqian let go. Right? I want to see all of them! "The scene in front of them was different from what was imagined. These people didn't mention Princess Xiaoqian at all.
Euseel smiled and said, "Don't worry, you must be tired from a long distance. Sit down and eat something first. Of course, the princess of the kingdom is fine, but I have to find out first if what you send is what we want."
Someone set the game, dried fruits in the mountains, and even wine on the table. This posture is like a treat for dinner. Amon and others didn't sit down. How could they be thinking about eating here? Di Qi took a roll of straw paper from his arms and handed it to Euseel: "Everything is on this, do you want to count it?"
Just now Euse took the paper roll and unrolled it, a big man next to him said angrily: "It's all on top of this! We have spent so much trouble, are we coming to this paper? Show me!"
Euseir's expression was a bit awkward, and he turned his head and scolded, "What are you talking about? This is a list of items, and everything is on the outside carriage. You can check it by comparison! Show you, do you know the words? ... Early I reminded you that if you do n’t talk nonsense, you wo n’t be embarrassed.
If on another occasion, Amon might laugh out loud, but at this time he couldn't laugh. Eucer began to read aloud the contents of the list, noodles, preserved meat, seeds, farm tools, cloth ... and so on, there were really a lot of mess. Every time he read it, the plateau giants cheered. Someone asked in an unbelievable tone: "Really, are these things for us? Great!"
The mayor of Diqi replied: "Of course it is for you, as long as Princess Xiao Qian is safe and sound." The giants cheered again: "Princess? Of course she's all right, these things are ours!" After hearing this, Diqi waited Talent was relieved, as long as the princess was safe, everything else was easy to handle.
All the types and quantities of materials have been read. The last item on the list is a lot of money. The mayor of Diqi asked: "The thing is clear, but how much do you want? The messenger did not say the number."
A giant with a beast tail hanging on his head interjected, "Of course you need a lot of money, how can you get thirty gold coins!"
Upon hearing this, Amon almost didn't reach out to help the table. Thirty gold coins is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people, but kidnapped the princess of the kingdom and asked the other party to bring a team of horses and horses for a bunch of worthless things. As a result, only thirty gold coins were extorted. If Princess Xiao Qian herself heard it, she would jump up! Is she so worthless? Although the items sent by the convoy are not valuable, they are huge and add up to more than thirty gold coins.
"What? You want thirty gold coins!" Even if the mayor of Diqi was still calm, he couldn't help crying out.
The intervening giant touched his head: "Too much? Then ... how about twenty coins?"
Euseel glared at the intervening giant and drank: "How much more, is the princess of the Barron Kingdom worth this money?"
Another giant with a ring on his nose made a clever echo of his own words: "That is, you want too few. How about twenty gold coins? At least fifty gold coins!"
Di Qi and others did not say anything, showing the weirdness that cannot be tolerated. Usil's nose was crooked, and he almost did not fall off the stool. He patted the table and said, "You only want fifty coins?"
The giants finally realized that the fifty gold coins were still too few, and another giant with tattoos on his forehead snorted and said sighingly: "Let's not let you talk nonsense, speak shame! If I were, one hundred gold coins! "The plateau giants aren't stupid enough to get home. When things look wrong, they start to raise prices.
The mayor of Diqi quickly waved his hand: "One hundred gold coins is one hundred gold coins, I gave them, but there are so many, I ca n’t go up anymore! But I did n’t bring so many gold coins, so I will give you five stones." He It was true that no gold coins were brought, and all the stones were brought. At the sight of this scene, they also responded to the situation and promised to pay a "giant money" of one hundred gold coins.
Amon also saw that the group of plateau giants had not fully negotiated in advance. Materials are what they want, but money is not considered. These giants should come from different tribes and have their own costumes, with beast tails, nose loops, and tattoos, which can be distinguished with a little attention. The giants in the tent are the leaders of the tribe, and the three who just spoke should be the respective big leaders of the three tribes, which is equivalent to the role of the patriarch.
It's really a headache to be able to organize these people to act together. It's a headache to see Usil's appearance.
When the giants heard that the mayor of Diqi was going to give five stones, they quarreled again: "Five stones? How do we divide the three tribes! Who will take one and who will take two?"
They spoke so loudly that the tent was buzzing. Euseir couldn't listen anymore. He pulled a short stick from his waist and knocked on the table. "Don't make a noise, I have the final say, six divine stones, two of your tribe!" Road: "The last condition is six stones, please hand it over."
The six divine stones are much less than the mayor of Diqi predicted in advance, but he did not dare to pay too much, and said dissatisfied: "From twenty gold coins to six divine stones, you are too much! I am too! In order to save the princess, money can be given to you first. "He put six stones one by one on the table, and the three chiefs took them on the spot, holding them in his hands and looking at them with a grin. Wonderful.
Euseel stared at them fiercely, with a feeling of hate for iron and steel in his eyes, and said to the mayor of Diqi: "You have paid for the money, and you have to hand over the rest of the items. Is that right? "
Mei Danzuo, who had never spoken, couldn't help but said, "Speaking of it, you always want something, where is Princess Xiao Qian? Give her everything safe and secure."
Euseel shook her head and said, "No, no, what if you take Princess Xiao Qian away and regret not giving anything?"
The magician Jake also interjected: "This is your site, everything has been sent to the mountains, how can it be taken away so easily? We have sincerity, but you ca n’t negotiate like this. First, let us know Princess Xiao Qian Where, confirm her safety! "
A tribal leader lifted up the stone: "Of course the princess is safe. She is all right now, but if we want to bring people, she must agree."
Upon hearing this, Di Qi and others were shocked. Euseir hurriedly knocked on the table again and said, "Just tell you not to talk, just shut up, otherwise I won't care!"
Seeing that Eusier was really angry, the three leaders nodded and said, "Okay, we won't say anything, all of you. You can get everything we want with a single message, and it was delivered to the mountain. Now, everyone will listen to your orders from now on. "Then shouted at the little leaders behind him:" You all shut up, just listen to Lord Eusil. "
The tent finally quieted down, and Usil said to Diqi: "I only saw this list, and the items on the list haven't been counted yet. Do I have to know if everything has been delivered? ... As for the Kingdom Princess, just wait We get everything and we will definitely let her go. "
For some reason, the mayor of Diqi no longer wanted to entangle with Usil, and did not insist on seeing Princess Xiao Qian first. He thought about it and replied: "You can count the supplies first. I think there are three tribes here. Well, divided into three, and finally send someone away ....... When you really need to carry things, hand over the princess and her followers, so that's always okay? ... Send someone to check things first, We return to the team and wait. "
They finally ended this ridiculous negotiation and returned to the team. Yuledu anxiously greeted him and asked, "How about? Did you meet the princess? Is she all right?"
Jie Kai waved his hand: "The situation has changed. Princess Xiao Qian may not be in their hands. We will discuss it later."
Just listening to the messy talks of the plateau giants, Amon and four others are not fools, and they have already noticed the flaws-those tribes should not have caught Princess Xiao Qian. The situation is like the letter from the injured samurai newspaper. Princess Xiao Qian is besieged in a valley, and the giant tribe is anxious for something, so she sends a messenger to the town to blackmail. It's not easy to organize these people to act together. The one who leads the idea should be the Euseel.
Back in the middle of the convoy, everyone hid behind a carriage to discuss it. You Le Duo asked the mayor of Diqi: "So, why did you promise to let them count the supplies?"
The mayor of Diqi smiled bitterly: "They did not catch Princess Xiao Qian. This is just our guess. Even so, the princess must still be under siege and cannot escape .... You did not see how the plateau giants negotiated today. They may not even I ca n’t understand my fingers, how long does it take to sort things out and sort them out?

Amon echoed: "It's going to be dark. They want to take inventory of these supplies, at least until tomorrow's dawn. With these things to attract their attention, we can quietly act at night to find out the situation, at least first Determine where Princess Qian is located, is she safe? "
Medanzo nodded in agreement: "Yes, this should be done. We know where Princess Xiao Qian is, and you can touch the nearby high place by dark cover. Although the fierce warriors of the Giant Tribe are fierce, they are still in the dark. Can bypass the guards. If they can release Princess Xiaoqian at that time, everything is easy to say; if we repent and don't keep our promises, we will be able to rescue people inside and outside together. "
Youledo groaned: "The abduction of a kingdom princess must be severely punished! If you do not bear the serious consequences, you can get a large ransom, which can only promote and condone this behavior. You must send the city-state's army to it. Destroy them. But these are the last words. At present, the safety of the princess is the most important, and it is the best to afford conflict. "
The mayor of Diqi opened a roll of things, a city-state topographic atlas in the town of Akkad, marked with the location of Princess Xiaoqian besieged. There is an open valley, backed by a precipitous peak, and the mountains on the left and right sides are embracing. The entrance to the valley is very narrow, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is difficult to break through if blocked by people. If you use flying objects, such as advanced air scrolls, beware of the long-range crossbow arrows in the Giant Tribe.
The plan of the mayor of Diqi was to cover the night and cover the mountain peaks on both sides of the valley quietly. If you are sure that Princess Xiao Qian is still safe, don't rush into it. After the agreed time, the giant tribe had not let go of the princess, they besieged the raid from both sides in response to the princess' breakout. Diqi also arranged the retreat route after the princess was rescued, but some differences occurred when assigning specific tasks.
The mayor of Diqi himself wanted to go, but both Jiekai and Amon resolutely let him stay, because he is the leader of this group of people. They need to supervise the other party to count the supplies and need to negotiate at any time. If he walks away, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Usil, and finally decides to go with Amon and others.
You Ledu decided to go in person this time, Jie Kai had nodded and agreed. In this way, Jie Kai insisted that the five people in his line should act as a team, and said that they quietly traversed the mountains and jungles in the dark, and they should be familiar with each other and good at cooperating with each other.
This is more or less an excuse. Jie Kai doesn't want to reveal the identity of You Le Duo. What is the first thing to protect is the "Her Highness". All five of them were well-trained and skilful with each other. It was clear that Jiekai didn't look at ordinary intermediate samurai and didn't want to bring the two burdens of Amon and Medanzo.
The result of the discussion was that the soldiers were divided into two paths. Jie Kai and his party of five people, Amon and Medanzo, touched the mountain from the left and right sides. If the princess was spotless after dawn, they lurked quietly. Diqi agreed to operate at noon tomorrow. By that time, things should be counted anyway, and the giant tribe should also order release. If they don't let people go, they can only help to save people and cover the princess and leave.
With a clever magician leading the team, walking in the middle of the mountain has a great advantage. Detecting the magic can find the ambush locations of the plateau giants in advance and can quietly bypass them. No matter how many giants are besieging the princess, it is impossible to densely hold all the places. Such a large mountain can always sneak into the surroundings.
However, during the treacherous one-night trek, he used the magic technique to detect all kinds of complicated terrain, and found all the latent enemies at a distance. There was no negligence, which is by no means an ordinary magician. In this team, I am afraid that only Jake has this ability.
The mayor of Diqi also wanted to send Amun and Medanzo with him. Amon refused with a smile: "I am a hunter in the mountain. I am used to chasing beasts in the mountains and perceiving dangers. Dare to walk into the mountains at night, and also have the confidence to touch it quietly. Such a normal wizard can not walk, accidentally may fall off the cliff, only strong samurai have this physical strength and skill, I bring Just follow Medanzo. "
Amon's words made sense, and the mayor of Diqi no longer insisted, but wished them good luck and told them to be careful. Walking the night and starting to detect magic at any time, Amon this fifth-level magician is better than Jake's sixth-level magician, which is his usual habit. Therefore, Amon did not want to work with others. It would be inconvenient to use the magic, and accidentally exposed his identity as a magician.
Jake Kaiben did not expect anything from these two people, but out of good intentions he told Medanzo: "This is not a battle on the battlefield, wearing heavy armor, climbing and climbing is a burden. Even if your armor is very light, The accidental sound of metal collision will also expose your position, and the shield is not suitable for carrying. Your shuttle gun is not a weapon for combat in the jungle. If you must bring it, I recommend that you smear it first because it is in the Reflects at night. "
Jake is a teacher at the Barron Divinity School. He usually teaches not only divinity, but also various combat skills and precautions, and systematically instructs and trains students. Amon was so taken by his words that he let Medanzo leave the armor and shield and handed it to the mayor of Diqi. After he set off, he picked up the shuttle gun again, and Amon changed Medanzo's axe and a set of soft armor in his clothes.
As for Amon himself, he didn't wear armor to take other weapons. He was still holding a tree-like cane.
The two rescue teams left one after the other, quietly descending the mountain to circle the dense forest, and no one was found. The Giant Tribe also sent someone to count the supplies. The leaders were still the leaders, and Usil was standing aside to supervise the statistics. The mayor of Diqi accompanied the clerk with him. Unloading those things, sorting them out, the scene was messy and noisy.
The mayor of Diqi deliberately did not send anyone to help, and let these plateau giants do it themselves, enough to keep them busy until dawn. A lot of torches were lit on the plateau at night, making this open field look like daylight, and it also looked dark and dark outside the surrounding mountains.
Regardless of how to count the supplies on the mountain, Amon took Medanzo down the mountain, crossed the mountains and climbed up to the designated location on the map. Medanzo has traveled to cave savage tribes in the mountains many times. He is now also a third-level magician, paying attention to the conditions under his feet and walking without problems during the day. The apprentices taught by Amon are different from ordinary wizards. They do not use wands at critical moments, and they usually use magic to help them, even if it is just to shelter from the wind and rain.
As for Amon himself, let alone say that he is better than a great magician at night on mountain roads. In case, he also uses an iron stick to monitor the surrounding situation at any time.
They had to go to the other side of the besieged valley by Princess Xiao Qian, and had to go farther, but arrived earlier than Jiekai and others. At midnight, the two had quietly climbed up the ridge on the side of the valley. Looking up from a height, it turned out that a group of people were standing in the middle of the valley, and the light of the bonfire could be seen in the dark.
Amon felt a little strange, because when he climbed the ridge, he was not found to be vigilant in the vicinity. In order to be cautious, he asked Medanzo to find a place to hide it. He carried a staff and quietly investigated along the ridge, and found the guarded giant warrior near Taniguchi.
On the mountain beam on the side where Amon is, there are seven or eight giant warriors, holding bows and arrows in their arms, and sticks around them are sleeping. Amon did not alarm them, and quietly retreated to his original position.
