Princess Xiaoqian made a gesture, and the warrior put down the sliding rod, she refused to help her down, and said to Yusil and the others: "If it were just me, I could forgive you, but your actions should not be indulged, and you must be severely punished." This princess remembers that you live in the mountains and wilderness, and have not been instructed by education, and wants to give you a chance to reform your ways, which is also a punishment, and if you are willing to accept it, I can not send a large army to exterminate you. ”

Yusir knelt down and replied, "We sincerely repent and are willing to accept the punishment and teachings of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Princess Xiaoqian stood there, her weak figure had an indescribable majesty, and said slowly: "In order to maintain the dignity of the kingdom's decrees, you are banished from the city-state of Kish, and you are to be exiled from the village where you live, and you will never be allowed to commit the same crime again,"

This one is ruthless enough, but it can't be refused, the giant tribe doesn't do it themselves, and the city-state's army will do the same. Yusil replied happily: "All the tribes here will burn down the villages in the mountains and gather their people to move far away. ”

The princess nodded with satisfaction, pressed one hand to her chest, and pointed to the clouds with the other, and said, "In the name of the great god Malduk, you and your people must follow the teachings of the kingdom of Barun, sacrifice to the gods, and serve the kingdom. Wherever you migrate, build a village where you are staying, and also build a temple of Marduk, and receive guidance from the gods. ”

Hearing this, everyone around them was stunned, and no one could refute the construction of the temple to offer sacrifices to the great god Marduk. However, this is a very practical problem in the world, no matter which country the temple is built, it needs official approval and the appointment of priests, and the priest of the temple is also one of the local administrators, with the status of the nobility of the kingdom.

Prince Feng Nu was about to interject, but Mayor Tip whispered a few words to him, and the prince nodded and said no more. Yusir had told Diqi that he was a second-level sorcerer, and that there was a record in the main temple of Malduk in Barron, and it seemed to be true. If so, it also meets the conditions that Princess Xiaoqian said, but the procedure of appointing the kingdom is not very reasonable, can you still get this kind of reward if you kidnap the princess?

Princess Xiaoqian seemed to be aware of the doubts of Prince Feng Nu and the others, and then said: "The establishment of an official temple and the appointment of priests require the approval of the kingdom, which is a reward for you. But make no mistake about it, I have a difficult and dangerous mission for you, which, if completed, will not only atone for your sins, but also be rewarded by the Kingdom. ”

Yusir raised his head and said, "May I ask Her Highness the princess what task you want us to complete? Since my people and I have confessed our sins, we will sincerely accept the punishment and serve you and the kingdom!"

Princess Xiaoqian walked straight over, stretched out her hand to separate the warriors who tried to stand in front of her, her bravery was truly admirable! She walked up to Yusir, took out a scroll wrapped in flannel from her bosom, handed it to him, and said: "The difficult task is the punishment for you, and it is written on it, and the forgiveness and reward after completing the task are also in it, take it...... Before tomorrow, before tomorrow, take the people to burn down the village and move to a distant place, and no one is allowed to stay!"

Yusir respectfully raised his hands above his head to take the scroll, stood up with his knees back, bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

He went away with the giants, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Everyone knew that as soon as the princess returned to the city-state, there would inevitably be an army to exterminate the tribe of these giants. But their escape on their own was nothing more than accepting the Princess's punishment, which ordered them to burn down the village and move before they got out the morrow, and the city-state's army could not have arrived so quickly.

This is the majesty of Princess Xiaoqian, she was besieged by the giant tribe, but with her superb courage and charm, she made these barbarians obey the king and voluntarily accept the punishment. What an admirable and adored feat, I don't know who was the first to start cheering, and then the cheers rang out, and the people were all praising the princess.

Pei Li's expression was very satisfied, this was originally a play, although it was not staged exactly as originally planned, but the last scene was still successful. No one knew exactly what task Princess Xiaoqian had given to the Giant Tribe, but it was not easy to ask on this occasion, and everyone gathered around the princess and returned to Akkadian Town.

Princess Akane and Prince Feng Nu arrived at the same time in the small market town, and the warriors of the town became the heroes of the kingdom, which was an unprecedented glory in the town of Akkad for a hundred years, and this day was destined to be a grand festival!

More than half of the town's daily necessities were collected overnight, and if they were not replenished as soon as possible, it would affect the residents for the winter, and those farm tools and livestock must be fully compensated before the beginning of spring, otherwise it will affect the farming of the next year. Princess Akane generously said that she would take care of all this, and immediately sent an envoy to the city-state of Kish with the list to procure it, and return it to the inhabitants of Akkadian Town.

Although the things that the Giant Tribe wants are huge, they are not valuable, and they are only worth dozens of divine stones when they add up, and if they are in a big city-state, they can quickly purchase all of them. In addition, Princess Xiaoqian also provided the list of all the warriors who participated in the rescue to the city-state of Kish, and ordered a commendation, and the mayor of the town, Diqi - Zhou Jinjue, was two levels!

Diqi-Zhou's current position is still the mayor of the town, but his status can already be compared to that of the administrative officials in the city-states, each of which has a finance office, an archives office, a judicial office, and an agriculture and animal husbandry department...... and other institutions to manage government affairs, and the directors of each department are called financial officers, law clerks, judicial officers, and property officers...... , and the deputy chief of each department is the current level of Diqi Zhou.

All this has just begun, and with the appreciation and cultivation of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Mayor Diqi's future is bright.

There are several heroes in the rescue team who need special commendations, that is, the warriors recruited by Mayor Tich temporarily, and Feng Nu and his entourage do not need to, it is the royal family's own business, but Medanzo and Amon must be thanked.

Diqi Zhou cleaned his house and let Princess Xiaoqian move in, and asked the chief priest of the town to empty his courtyard and invite Prince Feng New to stay. The place where Princess Xiaoqian met and rewarded the two warriors was in the temple of the town, which was the side hall with the relief of the goddess Mu Yun.

They were called in alone to receive a cordial meeting from Her Royal Highness the Princess, starting with Amun. After saluting, the princess gave him a seat, looked at him and asked with a smile: "This warrior, your name is Amon, right? May I ask where you come from, the kingdom needs talents like you, and I also want to thank you for such a hero." ”

In front of him sat Princess Xiaoqian, next to the princess stood the magician Pei Li, and behind him was the relief of the goddess Mu Yun, Amon felt like he was pierced by all kinds of eye crosses, and he was a little uncomfortable. He replied, "I am a hunter from the deep mountains, and I practice physical skills to catch prey, and I am used to walking through the mountains. This time, I was recruited by the mayor of Diqi to rescue Her Royal Highness, and the majesty of the princess impressed the giant tribe, and I am ashamed that I did not do much to do my best. ”

Princess Xiaoqian waved her hand and said, "Don't say that, without the escort of all the warriors, I won't come back safely." I would like to ask what kind of reward you would like to receive, and I will give it as much as I can, as long as it is within my ability. ”

Pei Li placed two plates in front of Amun, one containing two divine stones and the other containing forty gold coins. He said lightly: "These are not the princess's rewards, just the gratitude of the city-state, I don't know if it is more convenient for you to use the divine stone or the gold coin, you can take one of the plates at will." ”

Amon was not polite, and said thank you, and reached out and took forty gold coins. Pei Li's gaze was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything. Princess Xiaoqian still looked at him with a smile and asked kindly, "My warrior Amon, you haven't said what reward you hope to get." ”

Amon shook his head and said, "I accepted the mayor's recruitment voluntarily, and I don't need any additional rewards from you, princess. ”

Princess Xiaoqian shook her head and said, "No, you must accept it!"

Pei Li reminded on the side: "Amon, this is not your business alone, if you don't accept the princess's thanks, what should you do with the other warriors? If the princess doesn't thank the warriors who rescued her, what do you want the people of the kingdom to talk about, it is related to the princess's reputation, you must accept it." ”

Princess Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Pei Li, you don't have to be so harsh, Amon is just a hunter in the mountains, and he doesn't understand many things. Then he said to Amun with a pleasant face: "My warrior, I really want to thank you, please tell me, what do you want most in your heart?"

Amon raised his head and looked into her eyes and said, "Beautiful princess, thank you for your generosity, if you have to answer, I can tell you." ...... Not long ago I went to the royal capital, and saw your fiancé Gilgamesh enter the city with a gift of three humbaba sinews and twelve tusks, which are said to be the best weapons of warriors. Suppose one day, I can do more for you, hoping to get a snake tendon and a snake fang. ”

Pei Li's face changed to an angry expression, this earth-bun warrior's request was too much! He scolded: "It's a gift from the princess's fiancé, how can you ask for it?"

Amon hurriedly explained: "I don't want Her Royal Highness the princess to give it to me now, but to wait until the day in the future, when I can do more for the princess and can receive such a thanks, please ask the princess to grant this request." Now that the princess asked, that's what I thought in my heart, and I didn't want anything else. ”

Princess Xiaoqian looked at Amon and was stunned for a while, and finally waved her hand and smiled: "Pei Li, you don't have to be angry, he is telling the truth." ...... Amon, I grant your request, and when one day you can be thanked for what you have done, I will give you a snake sinew and a tusk of Humbaba, and explain to Gilgamesh what happened. ...... Alright, stand down and let Medanzo in. ”

Amon bowed and was about to go out, when Princess Xiaoqian suddenly stopped him and said, "Amon, I heard that you are a fifth-level warrior, I regret I didn't see you show your skills, can you demonstrate it." As he spoke, Pei Li had already handed over a short knife, which was an ordinary table knife for cutting meat.

It was rude to use a weapon in front of the princess, and it was an offense to do it without permission, Amon took the knife and retreated to the door, and waved it lightly to the side, a faint light emitted from the blade, and the sound of air bursting came from the void. Then he quickly put away the knife and carefully put it back on the table.

Pei Li nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, it's a fifth-level physical technique, thank you, you can retreat." ”

After Amon left, Pei Li said with some doubts: "It seems that he is not the divine magician, it is impossible for physical arts and divine arts to be cultivated at the same level, even if he has undergone the second awakening of power, he can only learn some low-level divine techniques with auxiliary surnames." The person who sent the signal in the mountains that night used the information magic so skillfully, and he was at least a sixth-level magician, could it be Medanzo?"

Princess Xiaoqian also smiled: "Amon really doesn't look like it, haven't you already tried, he took the gold coin instead of the divine stone, this is not the habit of a magician." ...... This man was really funny, he dared to look me in the eye when he spoke, but he didn't feel unnatural at all, and he calmly asked for something like that, and his tone was like a god. ”

Pei Li sneered and said: "The soil buns in the countryside have no knowledge, they dare to say anything, and the princess doesn't have to be angry with him." ”

Princess Xiaoqian said: "I'm not angry, I just think this person is very interesting." ”

When Mei Danzo came in, Princess Xiaoqian simply asked him to show him the skills of a fourth-level samurai first. Medanzo took the knife and gestured it several times with great vigour, then handed it back to Peili. When the gold coins and the Divine Stone were served, Mei Danzo picked up the Divine Stone without thinking about it, because it was easier to carry.

When Princess Xiaoqian asked him what he wanted to receive the most, Medanzo thought for a long time, then knelt down from the table and saluted: "Don't hide it from Your Royal Highness, I am a resident of Barron City, and my great-grandfather was a sixth-level magician in the Malduk Temple, but in the long years, my family has lost its glory. In my generation, not only did they lose their territory and hereditary titles, but they also lost their status as nobility. The last wish of the ancestors, I hope that the descendants can regain the glory of the family, please give me advice, princess, what should I do?"

Princess Xiaoqian looked at Mei Danzuo and smiled happily: "Although I don't have real power, as a princess of the kingdom, I can give you the status of a nobleman, you have made such a feat, as long as I go back to the king to say hello." From this day on, you are Lord Medanzo, and you can be exempted from the taxes of the commoners, but if you want to officially obtain the register, you will need to return to the royal capital. As for your ancestors' hereditary titles and territories, they are not so simple to restore, unless you can make real contributions to the kingdom in the future. ”

Medanzo said gratefully: "Yes, I understand that it is enough for the princess to restore my nobility, and everything in the future will depend on me." ”

Princess Xiaoqian asked again, "You can follow my convoy back to Barron City, or you can take the document I signed and go directly to the Governor of the Archives Department." I won't stay in this town for long, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow via the city-state of Kish. Brave warrior, will you escort me all the way to the royal capital? You are a witness to the events here, and I want to take you back to the royal capital. ”

Medanzo replied: "I am 120,000 willing to follow the princess back to the royal capital, but my friend and I have made an appointment to go to a distant place together, and I happen to pass through the town of Akkadian, and I need my friend's permission to leave without permission, otherwise I will not keep my promise." ”

Princess Xiaoqian blinked and said, "Oh, is your friend Ameng? Then you can discuss it with him, and just say that it is what I mean." I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and you've decided that you can follow me then. ”

When Medanzo got up and was about to retreat, Princess Akane stopped him again and asked, "My lord, how did you and Amon meet and become friends?

Medanzo replied a little embarrassed, but also cautiously: "I'm not afraid of the princess's jokes, I used to travel to the deep mountains of the Youngdi Valley, trade supplies with those dwarven tribes who are good at smelting, and earn some money to support the family. ”

Pei Li asked with great interest, "Is Amon also a dwarf?"

Medanzo replied: "No, I was attacked by a beast in the mountains and almost died, and he happened to pass by to save me, and that's how we met." ”

Princess Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and she stood up and said, "My lord, if you have a good relationship with those dwarven tribes, I have a glorious task to give you, and I will have the opportunity to restore your family lineage title and noble domain in the future." ”

Medanzo looked up excitedly and said, "The relationship is quite good, I am friends with a very large dwarven tribal patriarch who is friends of life and death, may I ask what glorious task the princess wants to give me?"

Princess Xiaoqian didn't say anything in a hurry, waved her hand and said, "When you return to the royal capital, you can come directly to me and report your name." It would be better if you went back with me. ...... You can step back and get your things in order. ”

After Medanzo went out, Pei Li frowned and said, "It seems that he is not that magician, but indeed a real fourth-level warrior." Then someone is spying on us, and we must be careful in all our actions, and it is wise to return to the king at once. Your plans are beneficial to the kingdom and you are not afraid of being known to the king, but your political enemies cannot be informed of your plans until they are carried out. ”

Princess Xiaoqian nodded with a calm face and said: "It may be that the king sent a court magician to secretly protect me, it is protection and supervision, you pay attention during this time and see if you can find this person, we will pretend not to know for the time being." ”

Pei Li asked again: "You sent Yusil to lead the Plateau Giant Tribe to carry out the plan, do you also want to use this Medanzo to use the Dwarven Tribe? We have only just met this person, and we are not sure if it is reliable. ”

Princess Xiaoqian smiled: "So I didn't say anything in a hurry, first observe him, envelop him, and cultivate him as our own person." It is easy for a nobleman in the royal capital who has lost his status to investigate his origins, and if what he says is true, he will be able to be used by us if his status is restored and he is given the opportunity to regain his title of domain and lineage. ”
