040, the grassland at night

Some people are even speculating whether this young man has abducted a beautiful female slave girl from a noble family and quietly escaped from Harti to Barron? Some people think in their hearts: If they had such a charming and beautiful female slave, they would definitely dress her up beautifully, but not show it to others, but only to themselves...... In fact, wearing nothing is the most beautiful, and hugging it to bed is simply the most ** enjoyment in the world.

Amon drank his own wine, and everyone in the tavern was thinking about their own guesses, and finally a drunken voice asked in a loud voice, "Stranger, did you kidnap this girl?"

Amon looked up and replied, "She brought me to this town in search of the lost sheep. ”

Yin Nanna also smiled and said: "I was not abducted by him, I brought him here, he is a good person who helped me." ”

At this time, the owner of the hotel hurriedly ran over and persuaded him: "He is drunk, don't you mind!" and then the boss ran over to persuade the drunk man, for fear that everyone would not speak correctly and cause some conflict, and smash the things in the tavern.

Amon sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, and the eyes that came from some corners were inexplicably hostile, and he didn't want to stay here any longer. This copper coin cup of bad wine is really not very good, and it is not as good as the wild fruit wine brewed in the caveman savage tribe. He drank quickly, Yin Nanna stood beside him and kept pouring wine, and after drinking, Amon put down the glass and asked again: "Boss, what is the most expensive wine you have here?"

The boss was taken aback again, and took out a fine copper bottle from behind the counter and walked to the table: "This is the best wine in our shop, there are only two bottles, and one bottle costs a silver coin." ”

Amon reached out and touched his large leather pocket, and found that the three silver coins he had taken out in advance were all gone, only twenty scattered copper coins. So he took out a small leather bag from his arms, opened it and took out two silver coins and said, "I want two bottles of wine, how much is this pot of wine?"

The bottle of wine that the boss brought Amon knew was the same one his father had given him when he left Duketown, and it sold for fifteen silver coins in his hometown, and only one silver coin was needed here. Amon didn't buy it for himself, he wasn't a drinker, and the two bottles were for Schrödinger.

The boss's eyes were a little straight, he reached out and touched his forehead as if he was wiping sweat, and nodded again and again: "You bought these two bottles of wine, and the pot was given away for free, no money!"

Amon always had an extra harvest when he went to the town today, he bought clothes and gave him two pairs of shoes, he bought a sheep and gave him a whip rope, and he bought wine and gave him a pot of wine. But he didn't like this town very much, and just wanted to send Yin Nanna back as soon as possible, and then cross the Youngdi River and continue eastward. At least he knew one thing here, many parts of the world beyond the mountains were indeed very different from Duketown.

Amon put the two bottles of wine into his big leather pocket, and Schrödinger was still in the innermost part of the house and fell asleep, without any reaction at all, he left the tavern with Yin Nanna.

...... The two strangers were gone, but the tavern owner stood there stunned for a long time. Someone next to him shouted, "Shute, what's wrong with you? Has your soul been snatched away by that slave girl? Why don't you negotiate and buy her for a lot of money? I really want to know how much such a beautiful slave girl is worth?"

Another voice also shouted: "The stranger himself drank the cheapest wine, but bought two bottles of the most expensive wine to take away, is it for the slave girl to drink at night? He is really good to the slave girl, and if I can afford to buy such a slave girl, I am willing to feed her such expensive wine!"

The hotelier, named Shute, finally came to his senses and said loudly, "Buy her? Guess what I just saw? It's a Divine Stone, and there's more than one Divine Stone! It's in the young man's purse!"

Amon didn't want to show off when he paid just now, but opened the leather pocket a small corner, and the others couldn't see what was inside, but the boss who was standing next to him saw the luster of the divine stone for a moment. This situation is too weird, the divine stone is a symbol of nobility, how can a person with a large handful of divine stones in his pocket drink a copper coin and a cup of bad wine?

The atmosphere in the tavern was immediately boiling, and the people began to discuss it aloud, and the story of the stranger was interpreted into another version—that the young man was supposed to be a servant of a great nobleman's family, who stole his master's money, and abducted the beautiful slave girl and eloped quietly. The slave girl should be very favored by the original master, and she used the best food and clothing, and the young man was already very wronged by spending money like this. But the lad himself was very stingy, and did not want to spend too much money to arouse suspicion, or he was a poor man who did not know how to spend it.

Some people began to drunkenly fold their fingers, a divine stone was worth twenty gold coins, a gold coin was worth twenty silver coins, a silver coin was worth a hundred copper coins, and the dress that the young man bought for the girl was sixty copper coins. How many of those dresses can you buy with one divine stone? The correct answer is six hundred and sixty-six, and forty copper coins are needed.

No one can calculate it, in short, it's a lot, and everyone thinks that the skirt Amon bought for Yin Nanna is too cheap. There is a handful of sacred stones in his pocket, but he buys clothes for such a beautiful girl that are only worth sixty copper coins, and there must be something wrong with the young man's money.

No one noticed, and in the midst of the whimsical speculation of a group of drunkards, two people whispered a few words at the best, biggest, and cleanest table in the corner, paid the bill, and hurried out.

...... Amon asked outside the town, "Yin Nanna, where do you live and where should I send you?"

Yin Nanna: "You can meet me where you can, my sheepfold is not far from there, and I can walk back by myself." ”

Amon thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll send you where you came from and go home quickly with your little lamb." ”

Halfway back, it was getting dark. The moon rises in the middle of the moon, and the undulating grassy slopes can be seen clearly in the quiet moonlight, and the night is another gentle and tranquil beauty.

If the experience in the town just now was a little unpleasant, it has long been forgotten in this beautiful scenery, and it is naturally impossible to walk too fast under the moonlight, the two of them are like snuggling together for a walk, and Yin Nanna is still holding a little lamb in her hand.

Just after walking a short distance in the moonlight, Amon suddenly stood up with a sinking face, and Yin Nanna asked curiously, "What's wrong with you, are you tired again?"

Amon shook his head: "No, someone is staring at us. ”

Yin Nanna showed a panicked look: "In the middle of the night, how can there be people here, where is it, why didn't I see it?"

Amon: "There are both in front and behind, and they should be coming for us." ...... Yin Nanna, you don't have to be afraid, I'll just send them away, and I'll definitely send you back safely. ”

After speaking, he let go of Yin Nanna's waist, and shouted to the surroundings with the iron branch staff he was carrying: "Since you are here, why hide there? I don't know you, and I don't owe you money, why do you come with weapons in the middle of the night?"

There was a sneering voice from the front, and two people walked out, the person in front was holding a long sword, and the person in the back was actually holding a magic staff. The wand-bearer shouted, "Stranger, you have stolen your master's money, abducted a slave girl, and dared to swagger in Sumerian Town?"

The man with the sword shouted: "We don't talk nonsense, we can spare your life if we leave the money bag and the slave girl!"

As he spoke, three people came out of the grassy slope behind, with axes and clubs in their hands, apparently ill-intentioned. Yin Nanna shrank beside Amon in horror and whispered: "Don't believe their words, they want to rob your money and kidnap me, they will definitely kill you, how can this kind of thing be spread out to let people know." ”

Amon was not afraid, his first thought was the neighbor Ma Qi in Duke Town, the third-level warrior who tried to make money and kill in the black fire jungle but was killed by the old madman, and the second thought was actually the three things that the old madman confessed, the first is not to kill people easily, even if you have to kill, try to use the least force.

He asked a little strangely, "The person on the other side, you are holding a magic staff, you are a magician, since you are a magician, why do you do such a thing?"

As soon as these words came out, a voice behind him shouted with a little panic: "Young Master Wennu, he recognized you, and he can't let him go again!"

The man with the sword shouted angrily, "Hansem, shut up!" and then said to Amun: "Since you know that there is a noble magician here, why don't you hurry up and hand over the money bag and the slave girl and ask for forgiveness for your crimes!"

This group of people is very inexperienced in being robbers, and it is the first time that they have done the business of seeking money and killing people. The two in front are the sons of the mayor of Sumerian Town, the elder brother is called Guy, a second-class warrior, and the younger brother is named Wennu, a first-class magician. Of course, Sumerian Town cannot be compared with Duk Town, which produces important strategic materials, so the status of the mayor of the town is not high, and he is only the lowest nobleman of the Barun Kingdom.

The mayor sent his youngest son to a nearby city-state to learn magic, spending almost half of the family's money, and Winnu became a first-class magician. This time he returned home from the city-state and asked his father for money to bribe the priest again in order to get a priesthood in the temple of the city-state.

However, the mayor's father was unwilling to give so much money, and persuaded his son to become a priest in the town's temple. Anyway, the talk collapsed, and it was really difficult for the family to come up with the money that Wen Nu wanted, so he took his brother Guy to the tavern to drink and vent his frustration.

As a result, they saw Amon and Yin Nanna in the tavern, and when they learned that Amon had a huge amount of money, they were moved. When people drink too much, they will become more courageous, and they even want to do things to make money and kill people, and the brothers discussed and decided that the money would go to the younger brother, and the beautiful slave girl would go to the elder brother.

The brothers had made up their minds, so they went out of the town with three sturdy servants with weapons, and they walked faster than Amun, and took a shortcut to stop Amun here.

The servant had not drunk, and it was the first time he had done such a sinful act, so he was inevitably a little timid. As soon as Amon mentioned the magician, the servant named Hansom thought that he recognized Wennu, and there was only one magician in Sumerian Town, and everyone knew who it was without mentioning his name. Guy scolded the flustered servant, already waiting for Amon to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Leave now with your weapons, I choose to forgive you!" Amon suddenly said something coldly that no one expected, and there was an inexplicable majesty in his voice, like a noble priest or almost like a god.

Don't look at Amun's age, but when he is serious, he is very majestic, this temperament is cultivated unconsciously, don't forget that he has always been worshiped as a god in the troglodyte savage tribe. Amon himself doesn't like to play music, but the cat shelf next to him is bigger than anyone else, can he still learn it when he looks at Schrödinger every day?

Both Winnu and Guy were taken aback, and even had a momentary illusion that Amon looked like a prince who had paid a private visit, and they immediately thought that this illusion was ridiculous, what prince would walk at night in straw sandals?

Guy laughed, as if to embolden himself, and raised his sword to meet him, saying: "Stranger, you are looking for death! According to Article 18 of the Code of the Kingdom of Baron, the commoner who steals or abducts the slaves of others will be given the death penalty! Here, let me carry it out." ”

Amon was afraid that he would hurt Yin Nanna, and he didn't want to wait for everyone to surround him before making a move, so he took a leap forward and swung the iron branch staff in his hand and hit it, aiming at Guy's shoulder. Amon's staff looked like an ordinary branch, and when it was waved, it was fluttering without any abnormality.

Guy was full of ridicule, although his sword was not the best horse leather steel, but it was also made of sharp fine iron, and it cost him fifteen silver coins! This stranger actually attacked him with a branch, Guy may have wanted to show off, and suddenly shouted with a sword in both hands, and slashed at the swinging "branch", trying to cut Amon into two pieces with a sword connected to the branch.

The force he used was not small, and this sword was enough to split a tree, let alone an inconspicuous dead branch. However, the sword slashed on the branch and made a sound of metal clashing, and a dazzling spark was drawn in the darkness of the night, and with a piercing sound, the slender fine iron sword was unexpectedly interrupted.

The deformed half of the sword tip flew out, and the other half with the hilt of the sword also fell to the ground, and Guy's jaw cracked. Amon's "branch" looked light on the sword, but with a kind of impact and strange tremor, the divergent shock wave drilled straight into the body, half of Guy's body was numb, and his voice couldn't shout.

Amun's staff interrupted the iron sword, as if it was not hindered or affected in any way, and continued to swing forward at the socket of Guy's right shoulder, making a few inaudible "poof" sounds, there was no scene of flesh and blood flying, but Guy's body was weak and fell to the ground. He is a second-level warrior, and Amon is using the strength of several levels of warriors but can't see it, this is the miner's skill in Duke Town, but at the moment he is not using a sledgehammer but an iron staff, and it is not the core of the mine.

Amon took down Guy as a single blow, but it was the perfect combination of speed, power, agility, and accuracy. He was not proficient in martial arts, and no one could teach him all kinds of fighting skills on the battlefield, and he would also go hunting while practicing physical skills in the troglodyte savage tribe, and he had seen all kinds of fierce beasts. There are not so many tricks in fighting with beasts, the shots are simple and effective, and Amon is always caught alive, never killing a beast on the spot, which is much more difficult than killing a beast.

Amon had this habit because of the fact that live beasts were brought back to the village and could be slaughtered and eaten fresh at any time, and on the other hand, Link also liked to experiment with all kinds of wild animals, trying not to risk his people to hunt and have a food source at any time. Amon doesn't care if any kind of beast can be domesticated or raised, just let the people catch it alive and bring it back.

So when he hunted, he was followed by a crowd of men, some of whom were alarmed in the valley on all sides and drove the wild beasts to the place where Amon was, and a group of men with ropes and clubs followed Amun. Amon waved his iron rod to bring down the beasts, and the cavemen rushed to pounce on them and tie them with ropes and carry them away. At such times, the tribe is as lively as a festival.

Amon usually fights with the Iron Beastmaster, not really fighting, just trying his skills. Guy's sword looked menacing, but it was far from the tail volley of the Iron Beastmaster Yunmeng.

With a successful blow, Amon stepped past Guy, and the iron staff swung down and hit him in the same position on his left shoulder, and then accelerated and suddenly rushed forward like a beast, and the staff struck out with the sound of the wind, and a ball of fire was scattered in the air.

Wen Nu was a magician, and under normal circumstances, he should have used his magic to cover or help when Guy was moving, but he didn't think that his brother, a second-level warrior, would be defeated by this stranger in the blink of an eye, and it was too late to cast another magic spell, so he just sent out a fireball to hit Amon in a hurry.

A first-level divine magician can only cast simple low-level divine arts, and the fire element divine magic is powerful and dazzling, and it is very majestic, many people like to learn it first, and Wen Nu is no exception. This hand magic technique is naturally very powerful against ordinary people, and it is also strange and difficult to imitate against ordinary samurai, because this is a magical power that others do not grasp, and it has a very good deterrent and damage effect.

But Amon judged very accurately, and he was not afraid at all, and he did not dodge or dodge on the way forward, and scattered the fireball like a firefly. Wen Nu let out an exclamation, and it was too late to send out the continuous magic spells, Amun's iron staff swung over, and the tip of the staff swept across his cheeks with a sharp wind sound, and it felt like he had been cut by a knife, and he was only a little short of breaking his head.

It wasn't the head that was smashed, but the click of the staff that Winnu had raised was shattered into several pieces. Naturally, his staff couldn't get into Amon's eyes, but a hard walnut wood was inlaid with an ordinary divine stone after divine processing. No matter how hard the walnut wood with the thickness of the cup was, how could it withstand Amon's sweep with a staff? As the staff broke, the divine stone at the top shattered into powder, and Wen Nu snorted and spat blood and fell to the ground.

Wen Nu was injured, it wasn't Amon who injured him, he was using the magic at the same time as someone suddenly destroyed the staff, the power that was already working could not be vented, and if it was not well controlled, it would regurgitate the caster himself, and his body was as uncomfortable as being burned. The Divine Stone was not broken by Amon, and Amon was not so wasteful, also because the staff was destroyed when he was performing the magic spell.

"Yin Nanna, come here...... Lay down your weapons, you guys!" Amon raised his hand to his staff, put one foot on Wennu's lying cheek, and shouted coldly to the three servants in the distance.

Yin Nanna had already run to Amun's side with her skirt in her hand, and before the three servants behind could react, they saw that the two usually majestic young masters were knocked to the ground in a blink of an eye, and the little young master Wennu's head was still trampled underfoot, and he could take his surname at any time. They dropped their axes and clubs, fell to their knees together, and shouted, "No, noble warriors, strangers, spare our young master!

Amon looked at them with a slightly strange look and asked, "You guys are really interesting, why did you beg me to spare these two young masters? Do you have any life related to me, don't forget that you yourself are holding weapons and want to kill me, why do you beg me for mercy for others, I haven't said to forgive you yet!"

The servants shouted: "Noble foreign warriors, we are also forced, we want to dissuade the two young masters but can't persuade them, we don't want to do such a criminal deed at all, but we have to come." ”

Yin Nanna whispered beside Amun: "I can't let them go, I can't let any of them go!" Amun, you surprise me so much, you actually have such a powerful power...... If you hadn't defeated them today, they wouldn't have let us go, you would have been killed and your money taken, and I would have been taken captive. ...... Did they ever want to spare you? All of them should be damned!"

Amon pointed at the three servants with his staff: "As a servant, I should not bear the consequences if I can persuade my master, I know what kind of punishment you will endure, then take it yourself, I have no intention of punishing you again, and it is not worth my action." Then he pointed to Guy who fell to the ground under the grass slope and said: "It is better for you to have no strength, otherwise it will only bring more harm and disaster to yourself and others." Then he pointed at Wen Nu at his feet: "You don't deserve to use a staff!"

After saying this, he kicked the blood-vomiting Winnu down the grassy slope, rolled to Guy's side, and said to the three servants: "Carry them back quickly, get out now!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" the three servants saluted, then got up and hurriedly ran over to pick up the two young masters, and one of them picked up the rest of his things and hurried away in the night.

While Vinnu was casting a spell, the staff that had been used to induce magic was suddenly destroyed, and his injuries would leave a terrible shadow on a magician for the rest of his life. Guy's injuries were minor, and Amon only broke the cartilage in his shoulder socket, but this injury was extremely difficult to heal, which meant that he would probably never be able to use the power of his body to swing his sword again.

As for the three servants, Amon was not interested in cleaning them up at all, and he knew that when they went back, they would only end up worse than the two young masters. I remember that when he was in Durk, Moses, the son of Mayor Dusty, had made a mistake while playing outside, and went home to be punished for not eating for a day and copying the instructions of the gods, but the two slaves who cared for Moses were beaten half to death. The two young masters had caused such a big disaster and were so seriously injured, right in front of the eyes of the three servants, the miserable fate of them after they went back can be imagined, or they should have escaped now.

When they walked away in the moonlight and gradually lost sight, Amon turned around and grabbed Yin Nanna's waist and said, "I didn't scare you, did I? ”
