Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Thirty years ago, when the Ethiopian Empire learned that Bell had crossed the border of the cape city-state and fled through the Syrian desert to the valley of the Youdi River, he not only mobilized a group of magicians and warriors from Egypt to hunt down, but also Through official documents, the Kingdom of Hati, especially the city-states in the vicinity of the Youdi River Valley, was requested to assist in the pursuit of Bell.
Therefore, a decree was issued by Hati Kingdom, which was sent to all parts of the country symbolically. This was more of a perfunctory. It only said that it would send warriors everywhere to pursue Bell, but did not say what would happen if it did not send people. Everyone in the world knows clearly that they sent someone to hunt down a ninth-level magician, not to mention if they can find it, even if they find it, it is almost the same as finding death. It has nothing to do with themselves. Just believe it.
Duke Town also received a decree. How could they have heard of Bell, and even less likely to send a blacksmith to chase down the Grand Magician, so there is no action at all, and of course no one will be held accountable.
Later, the Temple of Isis claimed that Bell had been wiped out by the virgin Allium, but the official had been vehement about this matter, and no one would be willing to mention the name Bell. This matter would be over and history. But he still left a tail that no one noticed. The Kingdom of Hati issued a decree that will never be revoked, and he forgot to revoke it afterwards. In fact, no one needs to do anything anymore, things are gone, no one will have nothing to do and go after a big magician who has no news.
More interestingly, the town of Duque only received a decree to assist in the pursuit of Bell. Afterwards, the Egyptian Empire did not inform the Hati Kingdom that Bell had been eliminated, and the Hati Kingdom naturally did not have anything to do with it. The announcement was forwarded to all parts of the country. In theory, Duque Town had no idea about it.
In fact, the people in Duque town really did not know anything about it. The decree thirty years ago had never heard of it. Apart from the old maniac, no one knew who Bell was. Today, Dusti turned this decree out and announced it in public, and this decree is still in effect!
The townspeople are all surprised. Who is Bell? Hearing what the mayor said, it seems to be a magician, a magician who ordered the pursuit of the Ethiopian Empire and the Kingdom of Hati, it must be very difficult to deal with. There are so many magicians and warriors Sending people from the small Duque town? Why is the mayor so enthusiastic, even if you want to be charming, you don't have to use this kind of thing to show credit?
Everyone was looking at each other and whispering, the old maniac Nietzsche stepped forward and asked: "Mayor, you said there is such a warrior in this town, who is he?"
Dasti pointed his finger expressionlessly somewhere in the crowd: "We have witnessed the miracles of people who are favored by the gods, and we know how the patron saint blessed him, is Amon."
As soon as Amun heard the mayor read such a decree, he immediately understood what was going on. That was when the old maniac and Gorete discussed with Dusty last night and found an excuse to let him leave Duque or say He was banished. But others didn't understand, and someone immediately shouted, "What, Amon! Lord Mayor wants to send a child to destroy the magician?"
Ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Not to mention the killing of the magician, even sending a child to the sinister Jungle is a nonsense. If this is not what Mayor Dustin said, I am afraid that people will already be scolded by the blood.
Mayor Dustin asked coldly, "Oh, then send you?"
This sentence dispels the voice of most attempts to question, but one person came out tremblingly and knelt down toward the mayor: "Sir, please send me ..."
This man is Amon ’s father, and today he rarely drank too much. The mayor of Dustin looked at him and asked blankly: "Are you a warrior? Have you ever received any special favor from the guardian goddess? Sorry, I've decided to send Amon!"
Amon ’s father lips whispered and wanted to say something. Amon and the old maniac had lifted him up and down, whispering a few words in each ear. He was obviously shocked to hear this, but eventually nodded.
The matter was decided. Amon, as a warrior sent by Duque Town, went deep into Jungle to pursue the evil great magician Bell and execute the kingdom ’s decree. The mayor of the town gave Amon an hour, let him go home, pack up his clothes and set off immediately, and did not allow anyone to send him out of town.
As a supervisor, after dispersing the crowd, Dusty personally accompanied Amon home. In Amon's impression, the mayor also entered the courtyard of his house for the first time. Amon is the "warrior" elected by Duque Town, and deserves to be honored. The mayor's office is official and gives him a purse and a knife in the name of the whole town.
The Warriors also need to spend money to buy things when they go out, and they also need weapons. The knife that the mayor gave Amon is naturally a very good fine iron knife, which is sharp and tough, and is very resistant to wear and tear. Not easy to break. The size is slightly smaller, and even less than one foot long, it is better to use it to skin and cut meat than to chase down the big magician.
Amon did n’t have much. He only took the branch and two skin sacs. A small skin sac could hold valuables in his arms, and a large skin sac could carry many things on his shoulders. He left the twenty divine stones in his hand to his father, but the father insisted that he take half of it, and he definitely needed money outside.
Mayor Dustin said aside: "The money Amon needs to go out should come from the town. I have sent the money bag."
Amon ’s father opened the wallet and found that there were five **** stones, five gold coins, ten silver coins, and dozens of copper coins. Amon glanced and took out the five **** stones: "Father, these are left for you, and I will take the rest."
Father shook his head straight: "You still bring all the stone stones. Bring more stone stones, so it's convenient."
Dustie could n’t help but interject: "Old drunkard, you do n’t know much about the outside world. In many country taverns, you only need a copper coin for a glass of wine. If you take a **** stone to pay, I ’m afraid Even pubs can be bought. You must bring change, which is convenient and not troublesome! "
A **** stone is equivalent to 20 baht gold. Each gold coin in the mainland weighs one plant. Each silver and copper coin weighs half a baht. Each gold coin is worth 20 silver coins, and each silver coin is worth 1 One hundred copper coins. In other words, if a cup of wine sells a copper coin somewhere, Amon drinks a glass of wine and pays for a **** stone. The tavern has to find him 39,999 copper coins!
Amon ’s father opened his mouth. He needed a silver coin to buy a bottle of wine in Duque Town. The glass of his small family can only pour at most five glasses. He froze for a long time before saying: "Child , You really should go to the outside world! "
Mayor Dasti left. Amon and his father split the money. Eventually, Amon only took away the money bag given by the mayor, and left all twenty **** stones in his hands to his father. The father listened to Dustin's words and took 30 silver coins that must be carried by Amon. This was the money Fayol gave last time.
The old maniac and Amon both told the drunkard that the mayor just made an excuse to let Amon leave the town, because Xiao Gu wanted to take revenge on Amon and let the child go to hide, everything was arranged, there was nothing to do Worry, wait for a while before coming back. After only two fathers and sons were left in the room, they didn't know what they said to say goodbye. When Amun left, there was an extra bottle of wine in his backpack. That was the best wine for his father.
......
The folks in Duque Town sent Amon to the entrance of Eastern Border like a warrior, watching him walk into the winding path between the mountains and forests. This trail is usually left by hunting, and some people go to the edge of the mountain near the town to pick wild vegetables and fruits, and then go deep into the mountains, the lush vegetation covers the sky. The Youdi River runs through deep mountains, about two hundred miles from Duque Town.
Caveman savages are found in the mountains. Caveman savages are also called dwarves in the Kingdom of Barron, but Amon heard from the old maniac that the caveman has no difference from the residents of Duque Town. , In an uncivilized state, so most people appear short.
Amon knows that the old maniac is right. In fact, there are cavemen in Duque Town. They ran out of the mountains to exchange things with the townspeople. They often can get the best iron ore and the high quality concentrate. Sand, also know that these things are the favorite of the townspeople. Cavemen who came to the town to make exchanges should be considered the smartest. They also speak the language of the mainland, but not many words.
The mine in the north of Duque Town even employs strong troglodytes to help mine the ore. They are very good miners. They have learned a lot after living for a long time. They are almost the same as the townspeople in Duque Town. Not like "savage". However, the vast majority of caveman savages in the mountains are still in a rather savage state, often attacking other tribes and people in the past, sometimes very dangerous.
The townspeople go hunting in the Eastern Border mountains and rarely go deep into the mountains. Apart from the old lunatics, no one has reached the edge of the Youdi River in the past 100 years. Amon didn't know where he was going. The thing that the old maniac told him last night was just to make an excuse for him to leave Duque Town to avoid misfortune.
Amon walked very simply, looking while walking, as if waiting for someone to appear. The old maniac said that there were a few last things to wait for when he left, and he did not see the old maniac or the mayor of Dustin among the people who saw him off.
The path winds along a steep mountain, gradually deeper, and in the distance are tall trees, even in the sultry weather, it is very cool. The sun was sparsely spotted on the road, and there were lush bushes growing along the road, many with thorns and wild flowers of unknown colors. The surroundings are very quiet, but there is always a dangerous breath lurking, and the occasional bird song from the distance is so sweet. If you walk alone in the mountains, you will probably feel this way.
Amon has been walking for a long time, and he has n’t seen Duke Town since long ago. The lush original Jungle is on all sides, and the road under his feet is becoming more and more rugged and difficult to recognize. Turning over a mountain pass to a small high slope, he saw two people standing under a big tree. Mayor Dasti was waiting for him with the old maniac.
Amon stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mayor, Mr. Nietzsche, are you waiting for me? Is there anything else to explain?" The old maniac told Amon yesterday, don't call him teacher again, so today In front of Dusty, Amon called him Mr. Nietzsche.
The old madman glared at Dusty without speaking, squatting lazily with his feet. Dusty coughed and seemed to take out something like this: "Amon, you are a warrior in this town and deserve to be rewarded. This is something I personally sent to you. It was inconvenient to take it out in front of others just now. "
The old maniac added a sentence next to it lukewarmly: "This is Rod; Dick gave a personal gift to Mayor Dusty, as a thank-you in the town of Duque. Da Mayor Stie passed it on to you, I think it was logical, but he received a lot of things from others, and you only got 30 silver coins, almost got a finger cut off. "
No one was present anyway. The old maniac was outspoken. For the first time, Amon saw the mayor's face flushed with blush. The mayor handed over two certificates in a delicate waterproof hard cowhide case, which was signed by the head politician of Égerian empire cape city-state and Master of Gods; Dick.
The document is written in high-grade esculent paper, which is flattened with a grass stem that grows on the banks of the Ronnie River, and is processed through multiple steps of embossing. It is the most convenient writing material. One of the important commodities exported by the Egyptian Empire to other parts of the mainland. The high-grade straw paper that Amon saw was usually only used to write official documents of the empire.
Amon is literate, and one of them can be recognized as the identity certificate of the citizen of Eju, but the column where the name is written is empty, and the end is Rhodes; Dick ’s signature and the seal of the Straits City State are accurate. Whoever gets it, writing his own name is equivalent to acquiring the citizenship of the Egyptian Empire. Rhodes; Dick gave such a thing to Dusty, it is not expensive.
Dasti himself has obtained the citizenship of the Egyptian Empire, but this document can be given away as a great gift. Rod; Dick left such a thing, it can be said that it was very thoughtful, as to how Dusty handled it, it would not matter to him.
Another document is the border pass of the Egyptian Empire, which is the most useful for businessmen. Passages issued by border city-states are required to travel to or from other countries, otherwise it may not be able to enter the gate, and even if you are unlucky Grab it as a spy. Obviously this was left to Dusty himself, so that he could do some personal business. At the moment, under the instruction or persecution of the old maniac, Dusti also gave it to Amon.
"Boy, the emissaries of Wangdu will come to Duque Town in three days, with the decision to punish you in public. I made an excuse to let you leave, and with these two things, there will be no problem in identity Well, the road ahead is hard and dangerous. Take care of yourself .... Do n’t thank me. Actually, I should thank you. It ’s not that you dig out the tears of the gods, and I ca n’t receive so many gifts. It ’s a fortune ....... Anything else, you tell Mr. Nietzsche, I went back to town, and by the way, see if anyone came. "
Dasti left, leaving only the old maniac to speak with Amon alone. The old maniac looked at his back and said: "Dastie is a good person, you should thank him! Although he got a lot because of you You should also give these to you. There are many things a person can or may not do. Some of them should be done, but they need to pay a certain price. As long as he does it for you, you should be grateful. Remember this truth. "
Amon nodded and said: "I remember, what else do you have to order?"
Schrodinger at the foot of the old maniac said: "Take this cat away too."
