For those snake tendons, Ameng actually sensed the nature similar to the blue water core. Of course they cannot be used as **** stones, but if they are processed with weapons such as long whips or bow strings, they can greatly assist the water elemental magic. If it is used in warships, its power can be maximized.
Amon intends to study the snake tendon in his hands after going back, maybe he can use it to make his first magical artifact. He remembered the monster that was beheaded in the Youdi River that day. There must be four fangs frozen in ice and blasted into the water. Unfortunately, he didn't find it. Although the snake's tendons and fangs of that strange snake are far from being comparable to Enqidu's trophies, they are also very precious and rare magical artifact materials.
Gilgamesh ’s gift to show off to the whole country was really precious. When Amon thought about it, the team had passed through the city gate, and he also quickly entered the Barron capital among the cheering crowd. .
The parade passed through the city of Barron, and came to the square in the center of the city. This large square can hold hundreds of thousands of people. It is in front of the magnificent Marduk Master of Gods hall and is far away from the royal palace. The Kingdom of Lun Kingdom Divine Academy, on the right is the Heroes' Glory Memorial Hall. The memorial hall enshrines all the famous heroes in the history of the kingdom. Unsurprisingly, the names of Gilgamesh and Enqidu will be inscribed and enshrined there after their death.
People gathered on one side of the square. A semi-circular warning line blocked everyone under the long steps of the temple. King Baron King Hammurabi II led his group of officials to greet Gilgamesh personally. arrival.
A city owner is naturally not qualified to let the king personally welcome him, but Gilgamesh ’s killing of Humbaba has attracted the attention of the whole country. This is also the glory he deserves. After all, Humba ’s fangs and snake tendons are walking in the convoy At the forefront, Hammurabi II also took this opportunity to show grace. The news spread long ago, and the city lords of the nearby city-states rushed to the king to watch the excitement. Standing behind the king and watching Gilgamesh's expression was very complicated.
There are also a group of royal nobles with similarly complex looks. Everyone knows that Gilgamesh is the fiance of Princess Xiaoqian. He also knows that the kingdom of Baron is likely to face a throne battle in the future. Some people are whispering to Gilgamesh. With the deep meaning of this move, there are still people thinking about which side they should stand on? And Gilgamesh's smile was bright and calm, and he also knew that there were rumors in the kingdom that he might usurp Barron's throne after marrying Princess Xiao Qian.
The purpose of Gilgamesh ’s move is on the one hand to express loyalty to the kingdom and gods. He killed Humbaba but dedicated the snakeskin and fangs to the Marduk shrine. Obviously, he announced to the gods that Humbaba violated the agreement between Marduk and Enril. If Enril had anything to say, he should go Find Marduk. On the other hand, it is also a warning that he is not afraid of the patron saint of Youdihe, and naturally will not be afraid of anyone's slander and threats.
He just came to the king in such a big swing, accepting the cheers of all the people and personally welcoming the king. He did not care about the rumours in the kingdom. This city-state hero was extremely proud of his guard captain, the first warrior in the mainland. Qidu did not come to the city of Barron with him, he only brought a simple ceremonial honour, and did not let the city-state army follow in the name of escort, which made many people feel inexplicably relieved.
Amon mixed with the crowd to see the excitement. He was not concerned about Enqidu. He thought Yinnana would also enter the city with Gilgamesh, but he did not see it. He was not found in the welcome team in front of the temple. Yin Nana's figure. When the atmosphere of Gilgamesh entering the temple and the square with the king and the high priest of the kingdom reached its climax, Amon quietly left to find Mei Danzuo.
In Barron City today, there are almost all empty streets. Amon walks all the way across the street. He finds the listless guys who guard the shop and asks for directions, and finally comes to Mei Danzuo ’s house. This is a century-old mansion, which has been renovated and rebuilt in recent years. It looks pretty and spacious. A long time ago, this block should be a noble colony, but after the expansion of the king city by the old king Hammurabi I and the construction of the more magnificent Master of Gods palace, the princes now mostly live in the south city, and the east city is basically new Of civilian rich businessmen.
There are many shops and inns nearby. Normally this area should be bustling and noisy. Today it is quite quiet. Mei Danzuo lost her noble status despite her family failure, but she still lives in the ranks of her daily life. She lives in her ancestral house and hires a porter, a groom, a servant and a maidservant. It will cost a lot to maintain such a platoon. It is no wonder that he will privately resell precious iron and Ma Gegang to make money.
Amen came by accident. The porter told him that the owner Mei Danzuo had been out a few months ago, and he had n’t returned yet, and the mother was not at home. Today, she went to the square in front of the temple to watch . This made Amon a little surprised and disappointed. He came across a thousand miles and threw himself into a void, but it is normal to think about it. It has been almost two years since Mei Danzuo last left the savages. .
Since it is not easy to turn around and leave, Mei Danzuo is not here. It is okay to see his wife and say hello. If there are any difficulties at home, you can also help solve it. Anyway, Amon has money and time. He was waiting in the foyer of the mansion. Until it was dark, Mei Danzuo's wife Mi Yali took the maid home. He heard that a friend came to visit Mei Danzuo and came to meet in the side hall.
Amon was slightly surprised when he saw Miyali. He actually had the impression that when he was outside the city gate, he saw Miyali and her maid among the cheering crowd. The headscarf screamed at Gilgamesh. Amon thought that this person was the eldest girl, but unexpectedly it was Mei Danzuo's wife.
Miyali saw Amon wearing half-worn burlap clothes and cloth shoes covered with mud, and a branch-like rough cane was next to her. Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she was as polite as possible. Asked Amon's intentions. Amon took out a golden sign and placed it on the table: "My name is Amon. I once told Mei Danzuo that I would come here to visit. He must have mentioned me to you? This is my token. I wonder if you know? "
Miyali recognized the sign as soon as she saw it, Mei Danzuo told her before leaving, if someone came here to take out this sign, we must give the best reception. The token in the hands of this person is not only left by the benefactor of their family, but he is also the most respected teacher of May Danzuo.
When she saw that Amon took out the brand, she was very puzzled and even annoyed. The person was clearly a lowly foreigner and very young. How could she be willing to leave such a strange man at home with the best hospitality? The benefactor of Mei Danzuo's family ancestors had long since died. When such a young boy came to hold a sign, what was the relationship with her? Obviously, it is impossible for Amon to be Mei Danzuo's teacher
Mei Danzuo came home last time, and she stayed behind for more than a year. She said she was going to do business this time, but she had no news for months. She left her alone at home, and the remaining money was already Running out. Now that Mei Danzuo didn't go home, he came with such an inexplicable "creditor". How could he not be angry?
Thinking about this, Miyali tried to be polite but very cold: "Sir, I ’m really sorry I do n’t know this brand or you, Mei Mei Danzuo is not at home, I dare not accept a strange man Let the neighbors talk gossip. He went out two and a half months ago and said that he will be back in five months at the most, and the days are coming soon. Can you come again in a few days? When Mei Danzuo comes home, he will definitely give you The warmest hospitality. "
After she said these words, she asked the porter to deliver the guests without even leaving Amon for a meal
Amon touched a soft nail and ate in a closed door. If he had just walked out of the mountain, he would be very stunned. But after this long journey, he saw the warmth and coldness all the way, and he could understand why, why bother with a woman? Her husband was away from home for a long time, and a strangely dressed man came to ask for hospitality. No one would be happy.
He said to Miyali: "I live in a nearby inn, and I will visit again when Mei Danzuo comes home." When I went out, I saw the pair of worn shoes on my feet and Amon also smiled bitterly at the dirt on his shoes.
Miyal rejected Amon from the door, and did not give the best hospitality according to her husband ’s instructions. After all, there was a dim sum. Sending the maid Fusha quietly followed to see where Amon would live and figured it out Talk to her husband. Of course Amon knew that Miyali's maid was quietly following her, and she couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He came to the nearby inn and asked for the best room with a foyer. The room money was two silver coins a day-the maid ’s return surprised Miyali.
Amon did not do this for enjoyment or ostentation. He walked through various city-states, and he knew that the better the place he lived in, the less trouble he would normally have. If you live in the cheapest big inn where many people sleep in a grass-filled room, even if the neighbors are lost by thieves, the first place to be investigated is the place.
On the other hand, Amon also has to practice divine meditation every night, and he needs a quiet and undisturbed environment. This remote mountain can not be found in King Barron ’s city, only the most expensive room in the inn, Even the buddies will not be disturbed suddenly without notification, but it saves a lot of trouble.
The next day Amon walked out of the inn and went to the nearby clothing store to buy clothes. After a long journey, his original linen cloth was already worn out and could not be worn. The two new sets he bought in Sumer Town were also old. Too. Moreover, the weather is getting cold and it is early winter. It is not appropriate to wear thin clothes to walk on the street. Even if he is not afraid of cold, he should not look too dazzling.
He bought two pairs of comfortable leather-soled soft boots in the ready-to-wear store, which is the kind that Mei Danzuo wore during long-distance mountain climbing. It was strong and beautiful and durable, as well as two sets of light fur coats. In the Kingdom ’s decree, civilians must not have over-the-counter patterns and embroiders, but the beautiful patterns on the beast ’s fur are natural and not illegal, so all kinds of furs are the favorite of wealthy businessmen who are not noble. The price is also very expensive.
Amon is used to wearing animal skin clothes in the Savage tribe. In such a dress, it looks like a young master of a wealthy merchant who came out to play and came to see the world in Wangdu. Amon had just bought the clothes and put them on, but happened to meet Miyali's maid, Fusha, to pick up the winter clothes that the mistress had ordered a month ago.
The shop owner said with dissatisfaction: "These two sets of furs are worth 30 silver coins, but you do n’t have to pay cash to make a credit. My business also needs capital, how can I be in arrears?"
Fisha quickly explained: "My host will be back in a few days. By then, all the profits will be paid back. You should let me take the clothes first, otherwise the mistress will scold me."
The shop owner said with a sullen face: "Your hostess scolds you, what does it have to do with me? Since your host can come back in a few days, you will come back in a few days and get it all like you, my business Can't you do it yet? "
Amon saw this scene, and secretly said that Mei Danzuo is not easy to make money, and the women in his family can be generous. The two sets of clothes are more expensive than what he just bought, but he ca n’t watch Mei Danzuo ’s. The wife couldn't get the newly added winter coat, and took two gold coins and handed it to Folsa: "Aren't you the maid of Mei Danzuo's house? I'll pay him the money first. When Mei Danzuo comes back, let him visit me. He knows who I am and you know where I live. "
After Amon returned to the inn, someone visited him soon. The interviewer was Mei Danzuo ’s wife, and he took all the servants in the family to wait outside the inn. Although the road was short, even the carriage was prepared.
Miyali apologized when she saw Amon: "Dear guests, you are the teacher of my host, but I have neglected you, please forgive me for my mistakes ... I do n’t read, I did n’t recognize yesterday The brand was out, but after you left, I found out the family inheritance map, which made it clear that you really represented the identity of the family benefactor. "
Amon smiled and waved his hand: "You do n’t have to apologize, the husband is not at home, it is really inconvenient to take in a strange man, how can I blame?"
Miyali: "Please don't say that, now that I know your identity, how can I still let you stay in the inn? The best room has been packed up at home, and the servant has prepared a sumptuous dinner The carriage is waiting outside the door, please come with me .... If you refuse this kind of treatment, my husband will blame me when he comes back. He had told him long before he went out, but I rejected you yesterday Besides, I really regret it. Please give me the chance to make up. "
She asked for a long time, only saying that this was Mei Danzuo's advice, she must not dare to neglect Amon, and Amon nodded. It is more convenient to live in Mei Danzuo's house than in an inn, and he just wanted to Looking for a quiet place, he left the inn and went home with Miyali.
Amon lives in Mei Danzuo's home, Miyali is very well-treated, and the servants respect him very much. When he meets, he is called "Master Amon". But after the deadline agreed by Mei Danzuo and his family, he never saw anyone come back, and Amon couldn't help but worry. Is it what happened to Mei Danzuo on the road? Although he is an Middle Level warrior, he may be in danger if he travels long distances to resell the official control materials.
Miyali is curious about Amon ’s identity. She usually finds an opportunity to try to spy. She tapped on the side and asked about his origin many times. She also asked why Mei Danzuo called him a teacher? Naturally, Amon will not easily reveal the truth. He only said that he met Mei Danzuo when he was traveling. He taught some of the skills he had learned to Mei Danzuo, so Mei Danzuo would call him his teacher. As for the token in his hand, it was left by the elders because it was the only way to get to know Mei Danzuo.
Miyali heard of the legend of Mei Danzuo's ancestors. The great-grandfather of Mei Danzuo used to be a sixth-level magician and a priest of the Marduk temple, but he did not know where he was buried in the war. Later, a distant hunter got his relics and sent them back to Barron City thousands of miles away, saving the family who was in trouble at that time. Mei Danzuo vaguely mentioned a few years ago that the hunter obtained the great-grandfather divine book and became a magician, which was more than a hundred years ago.
Mei Danzuo has n’t been back for a while, and I do n’t know what happened, Miyali has another thought. One day she said to Amon: "You have been in Wangdu for some time, but you always wander around in the house and yard. There are many interesting places in Wangdu. You may not be familiar with this place. I let the horseman carry you, Forsa ’s guide will pay you to walk around. "
Amen also wanted to visit Wangdu everywhere. A familiar leader is best, so he nodded and agreed. On this day, Amon went out in the carriage of Mei Danzuo, and the maid Fusha accompanied him. Before leaving, Miyali specifically told Fusha to take Amon to a few places, play with fun, eat delicious, and wait until it was dark before returning home, do not come back halfway.
After Amon left, Miyali sent her servant to the front yard. She quietly went upstairs into his room alone, carefully picking his parcel lightly. Amon was very cautious in doing things. The heavy branch staff was naturally inconvenient to take with him to play, and was placed beside the bed, but the four special crystals inside were taken away and put into bones.
The shape of that bone is the rib of a person. To prevent loss, Amon hid himself in his clothes. It was hidden and safe under the rib. It contained his most important things, including the one from him. All the relics of the mysterious big cave. The big leather pocket was not carried with him, and the changed clothes were also placed in the room. There was also a small leather pocket in the big leather pocket. That was his purse.
Amon is rich enough, not to mention the four special **** stones, just items obtained in the abdomen of the mysterious mountain. Anything you take out is quite precious, and naturally cannot be easily exposed. But he didn't care much about money. He just knew that it was very important when traveling the mainland. In fact, he didn't have to spend any money.
In this period of time, I entered Barron City and needed to stay in the store and buy things. So he put his "currency" in his purse. There are gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, and **** stones, which is also convenient for access. To take 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 can be discovered by people. Everything needs to be careful. You can use as few bones as possible, but here is Wangdu.
He left five **** stones when he left Duque Town, and picked up nine scattered stone stones in the cave. After crossing the Youdi River, Gilgamesh "compensated" him for ten stone stones. On the way, I gave Mei Danzuo, Cain, and Abel one each, and the remaining twenty-one **** stones were useless. At the moment, they were put in a small leather pocket with coins. Naturally, he couldn't carry so much money when he went out. He only had some coins in his pocket.
Miyali was a little disappointed when she found that Amon had only a few sets of clothes, but opened her small leather pocket and saw the dazzling **** stones and gold coins. This is a huge sum of money. Dingmei Danzuo has made money for decades
Although there was no one in the room, she felt so nervous that her heart was pounding and she couldn't even breathe for a moment. She wanted to put this leather pocket well, but she didn't want to put it down for a long time. After she put it down, she touched her chest with her hands, took a few deep breaths and began to carefully check other things in the room. Apart from clothes and leather pockets, Ameng had nothing else but the tree-shaped cane leaning against the bed.
Miyali went to take the "branch" with her hand and almost didn't flash her waist. It was so heavy that she didn't lift one hand. Miyali stretched out two hands to lift the cane off the ground, and suddenly thought "understand" something in her heart.
Mei Danzuo does a lot of "buying and selling". She seems to know how much this stick turned out to be a whole piece of horse leather, but it disguised as a tree branch to hide your eyes and ears. No wonder Amon insisted on not letting the maid clean his room.
The young man was heavily invested, but when he first came to Barron, he was dressed in such a simple way. There must be something invisible. He must be a "business partner" of Mei Danzuo, specializing in privately acquiring fine iron and mag steel, which is controlled exclusively by the government. This kind of thing is nothing to buy and sell in private, but a large number of special acquisitions and smuggling is a serious crime.
He really made a lot of money. Mia Li sighed in her heart, and at the same time re-judged Amon ’s intention, he just found the door at Mei Danzuo ’s agreed return time and must come to receive the goods. However, Mei Danzuo never came back, I am afraid this person will not wait too long. As for the words that Mei Danzuo advised before leaving home, they should all be covert pretexts, not wanting to expose Amon's identity as an illegal black market businessman.
Miyali panicked the things in the room as they were, and then crept downstairs back to her room, feeling that her breathing was chaotic and sweating, and asked Fusa to pour herself water but no one agreed. Then I remembered that the maid had accompanied Amon out to play. It was at this time that someone came to visit, her brother, Enoch, the son of a businessman in Barron.
Enoch said unpleasantly as soon as he entered the door: "My sister, I heard that you have taken a strange man to stay at home. Today I asked the porter. You also asked Fusha to go out with him .... … A few days ago, you sent Fosa to borrow money from her mother's house. Was it just to treat the man? "V
