Why did Amon dress like this, and he didn't reveal his identity as a magician, because he was originally a magician who couldn't see the light! When the shipowner asked, everyone was curious, and Amon had to explain with a straight face: "I have a mission, which is related to the secrets of the gods, so I will hide my identity and travel, please don't ask again, and don't preach it to anyone!"

Oh, it turned out to be a magician on a secret mission, and he didn't want to reveal his identity, but because of the appearance of the monster, he had to use the magic! Amon ordered everyone not to ask questions and not to preach to anyone, he just showed a powerful magic to save everyone's lives, even if everyone had doubts in their hearts, they could only promise not to say anything more, but some people were still very puzzled.

Even if a noble magician wants to disguise himself, he can also disguise himself as a nobleman, an ordinary official or a wealthy merchant, and he will not attract attention either, how can Amon be dressed as a lowly commoner? This seems unreasonable! Some people even have a trace of doubt in their hearts, whether he will be a magician? But it is only a flash of thought, and no one dares to be sure, let alone say this suspicion.

At this time, Yin Nanna walked up to the bow of the boat, hugged Amun's arm, and said coquettishly: "In order to carry out the secret mission of the kingdom, our noble magician did not hesitate to disguise himself and put on rough linen clothes. ...... His mission is very important, and his identity must not be revealed, and he should have killed all of you...... But the merciful magician does not want to do this since he has saved you, and if anyone reveals his identity, he will be severely punished by the kingdom!"

These words shocked everyone, and everyone also saw Yin Nanna's face clearly, she turned out to be such a delicate girl, she should be the most favored maid of the magician, and she also took her with her when she traveled in disguise. The people were silent, and no one dared to say anything more.

Yin Nanna glanced at the bow of the boat again, and suddenly her face changed, and she cried to Amon Jiao: "Little lamb, where is my little lamb? It is gone, it must have fallen into the river! I wanted to take good care of it and not let it suffer any more." ...... Amon, I'm so sad......"

Yin Nanna cried when she said she cried, her voice was so pleasant, but her expression was so pitiful, no one couldn't help but want to accompany her to cry sadly. A merchant hurriedly walked to the bow of the ship and saluted Amun, "Great magician, you saved everyone's lives and saved all my goods. You lost something, and you deserve all of us to compensate for it, so let me compensate her for her loss!"

The merchant crossed the river with the most goods, and the two warriors were also his bodyguards, and he was grateful to Amon for saving his life, and the valuable goods carried on the ferry were not damaged at all, and he wanted to take this opportunity to repay Amun, if he could make friends with a noble magician.

Although Amon is currently on a "secret mission", he will always return to the city-state or temple in the future. Taking advantage of the opportunity in front of him to make friends, he may be able to do better business in the city-state where Amon works in the future, and he wants to compensate not only a sheep, but also a large sum of money to impress.

Amon looked very young, probably only about twenty years old, and he had already mastered such a powerful divine power, and it was definitely extraordinary, and he threw out three precious scrolls without even blinking an eyelid. The merchant was not like those uninformed fellows, who had no suspicion that Amon might be a magician.

Some people may become magicians without the permission of the temple, but how could that kind of person have so many precious divine artifacts and use them without hesitation. Only with the support of a huge temple resource can cultivate such a magnanimous young magician, Amun's identity must be quite noble, and the future is immeasurable!--The merchant judged with great certainty.

As the merchant spoke, the servant beside him had already handed over the parchment purse, and when he saw the heavy weight in his hand, he knew that it was full of gold coins. Amon was a little surprised and asked, "I lost the lamb because of the monster in the river, why should you make up for it?"

The merchant humbly replied, "If it were not for you, the whole ship would have sunk to the bottom of the river, and my life and that of all men would have ceased, and the goods and money would no longer belong to me." ...... Your courage and strength have saved everyone, and you should be grateful, and please do not refuse. ”

The ship's master also persuaded him, "Venerable Magician, you should accept everyone's gratitude, otherwise we will be upset. His heart was still pounding as he spoke, and Yin Nanna's words just now scared him.

The shipowner was well-informed, and he also guessed that Amun's identity must be very noble, and he used three scrolls to fight the monster, and the price was greater than most people imagined. If you don't express your gratitude properly, I'm afraid that I will annoy Amun, and the others will go ashore and leave, and he, the owner of the ship, who can't escape, will be unlucky.

Since he said that, Amon didn't want to refuse the kindness, he looked at the merchant and nodded: "Okay, thank you, I bought that lamb for two silver coins, and if you want to compensate me for my loss, give me two silver coins." ”

The words made the shipload stunned, two silver coins were not worth anything to a noble magician, and Amon should either accept a generous gift from a merchant or simply refuse it as a sign of generosity. On the other hand, in the eyes of ordinary people, two silver coins to buy a lamb is expensive enough, it is clearly extortion, and it is inexplicable for a noble magician to extort a small sum of money from this rich merchant for a lamb!

Except for Yin Nanna, no one knew that Amon was telling the truth. Not everyone in the cabin could see that Amon had just used the scroll, and even if they did, they didn't know what was going on, and even really suspected that Amon was a magician. And there are also people who have experience and know how precious the scroll Amun used is.

Yin Nanna whispered in Amun's ear, "Master Magician, we have lost more than one lamb, and you have spent three precious scrolls to kill that monster. These words seemed to be whispered, and the sound was not loud, but the people on the boat could hear it clearly.

Someone spoke: "Lescott Lee, the great wealthy merchant of Uruk City, why did you only compensate the Venerable Divine Master for one lamb, why didn't you compensate those three Divine Scrolls?"

Someone else said, "Ship Boss, you are also a rich man, Master Magician has kept your ferry, and you should also compensate those precious scrolls." ”

No matter what everyone guessed in their hearts, everyone wanted to thank Amon, and they were afraid that there would be any trouble for offending the disguised magician because of this incident, anyway, there were merchants and ship owners who paid for it, so why not be generous to others?

When the shipowner heard this, he sweated and was eager to throw the man who was talking nonsense into the river. The merchant Nescott Lee also secretly complained, he wanted to take this opportunity to pay a lot of money to befriend this young and noble magician, but if he sold the goods he brought and the shipowner's ship, I am afraid that he would not be able to pay for the scroll.

Divine scrolls are not ordinary circulating commodities, ordinary people can't buy them if they want to, and only magicians can use them. But anything useful was valuable, and in the temples of the royal capital or the temples of the great city-states, the noble and wealthy nobles could "ask for gifts" from the scroll makers, or pay a lot of money to have them made. No matter how you get it, it comes at a price.

Amon waved his hand and said: "I use the scroll to save my own life, I don't need others to compensate for anything, thank you for your kindness, if you really want to repay, don't hinder me from completing the task." After you get off the ship, don't reveal my disguised identity, that's fine!"

The shipowner quietly wiped his sweat. The merchant also breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "My name is Lenescot Lee, I am a merchant of Uruk City, Venerable Magician, if you have the opportunity to pass by Uruk City after completing the mission, I will definitely do my best to give you the best hospitality." This was utterly sincere, and Amon had no intention of asking the ship's people to compensate for the scroll, and as for the lamb asking for two silver coins, in the eyes of the merchants, it was only because of the dignity of the master's status.

Amon smiled and nodded, "Okay, I remember!" This continent is so strange to him, it would be good if there was one more person he knew, except for Medanzo and the mysterious Yin Nanna, he didn't know anyone else, and he had a good impression of this businessman.

The ferry arrived on the other side, and everyone bowed to Amon as they left, and Amon stood at the bow of the boat with Yin Nanna in his arms and smiled and nodded, they were the last to disembark. There was also a market town not far from the ferry on the other side, and everyone on the ship obeyed Amun's orders without revealing his identity, at least no one in this town said much, because the magician had not yet left.

Someone on the other side of the river saw the thrilling fight in the river from afar, and asked what had happened to the people who had come down from the boat. But this magician had a secret mission and didn't want to show his head, so he got off the ship and quietly left. Although Amon did not reveal his identity, this matter could not be concealed, and the news spread far and wide.

After Amon got off the boat, he first went to the bazaar to find a carriage for Yin Nanna to ride, and it was far from the royal capital, and he could not let a girl go all the way. At the bazaar, General Lescott Lee was commanding a group of men to load the goods unloaded from the ship onto several wagons, and when he saw Amon coming to look for the carriage, he came and said, "Sir, take my carriage and use it, I have given it to you, it is my best carriage and horse." ”

Amon shook his head and said, "I'm just walking a little way, you don't have to give me such a good carriage and horse." ”

The ornamentation on Lescott Lee's carriage was evidently that of the commoners, and although it was comfortable and luxurious, it was probably not as good as the carriage of a noble magician. When he heard Amon say this, he hurriedly said, "There is no better carriage in this town, so you can take this one for the time being, even if it is lent to you, you can use it whenever you want." In the future, if you can remember my words, you can send someone to bring the carriage back by the way. ”

Lescote Lee had a good idea, and he might be able to find out Amun's identity through the carriage in the future. Amon thought for a moment and said, "Well, thank you, I'll pay you back the chariot and horse!" He was going to find Medanzo on his first stop, but sooner or later he would have to go to the city-state of Cape Eju to return Nero's staff, and he would pass through this place again, just in time to return the chariot and horse.

When he got off the ferry, Amon made the decision that the second thing he had to do on his expedition to the mainland was to fulfill Nero's last wish. Although Nero was one of the great magicians who hunted down Bell, it was not a personal vendetta to carry out the decrees of the oracle and the kingdom, and he knew that he would die, but he still obeyed the order without hesitation, and even admired.

It was Nero who left the scroll that saved Amun's life today, and the merchant still knew that if he repaid Amon, Amon himself should repay Nero by sending his staff and ring to the temple of the headland as he wished.

He didn't stop much in the town, and drove Yin Nanna out of the ferry without taking the official road, but into a small road in the wilderness. The area on the east bank of the Urdi River is the territory of the city-state of Uruk, and the terrain is an open field, full of pastures, farmsteads, and low hills and woodlands, which is much more fertile than the land around the town of Uruk, and appears to be rich and prosperous.

Amon was not very good at driving the carriage, and it took him half a day to barely control the reins and let the horse walk along the road of Tian Station, and he even used the power of Qi Yuansu magic to control the horse, and there was always a gust of wind next to the car to guide the way.

Yin Nanna picked up the curtain and said with a smile: "Amon, my brave hero, handsome hunter, and noble magician, you are not very good at driving carriages, are you? How can you use magic instead of whips? A well-trained horse knows which direction to run in as long as it hears the whip...... There is a whip in the cart, and I advise you to change it to the whip rope that the shepherd in Sumer town gave you. ”

While buying sheep outside Sumer, the shepherd gave Amun a whip rope that he kept in his leather pocket and didn't pay much attention to it. At this moment, listening to Yin Nanna's reminder, he took out the whip rope but was taken aback, and then took out a lump of something from his leather pocket, which was the snake tendon that he had fished up in the river.

This whip rope is so similar to the snake tendon of the strange snake, not only the image, it should be the same material!

But the whip rope is also different from the snake tendon, it is not shrunk into a ball, but it unfolds like a rope, as if it has undergone some kind of special processing. Although Amon had the theoretical knowledge to make various artifacts, he couldn't tell for a moment what method was used to process the snake tendons into whip ropes, and he had never actually used any artifacts to make them.

The terrible Amun of the strange snake has been personally taught, a shepherd actually made a whip rope out of snake tendons, and gave it to Amon casually, then his identity is definitely not ordinary, and it is mysterious that people can't guess! Since Yin Nanna reminded Amun, obviously she is in the know, then she took Amon to buy sheep outside the town, there should be other intentions!

Yin Nanna once said that her identity is mysterious and noble, and she can't even mention her name easily, and now it seems that her experience is probably even more difficult. Amon put the whip rope on and struck a gentle blow forward, and the two horses in front of the carriage galloped forward with brisk steps, not needing more control at all, and it seemed easy to steer the carriage.

The scenery of the vast fields is very beautiful, and the horses are running happily, but Amon inexplicably has a feeling of chilling air on the back of his neck. At the sight of this whip, he already realized that he seemed to be being used. Yin Nanna, the shepherd in Sumerian Town, and the monster that suddenly appeared in the river, all of them seem to have been arranged by someone.

What happened to Yin Nanna will never be as simple as she herself says, and it is no accident that she meets Amun. - No wonder Schrödinger reminded him like that!

Amon drove the carriage to the path between the fields, in addition to wanting to avoid the people on the boat, he also wanted to ask Yin Nanna alone, but he didn't dare to speak at the moment. Yin Nanna sat in the canopy behind her, Amon's back was a little stiff, and after a while she asked, "Yin Nanna, we are not taking the road to the capital of the Barun king, do you know this road, will you go wrong?"

Yin Nanna stretched out a hand and gently put it on his shoulder: "The road under your feet is the road, I am your guide, although go ahead, this road can go along the east bank of the Eudi River around the city-state of Uruk, and return to the road to continue to the city of Barun." ...... I lost my little lamb across the river, but I still have you—my handsome Amon! Why are you a little nervous, what tugs at your heartstrings? You must have something to ask me, why don't you ask?"

After crossing the river, Yin Nanna opened her mouth to remind Amun of the strangeness of the whip rope, which was a hint. She knew that Amon would react to something, and her heart must be full of questions, so she smiled and asked him to take the initiative to speak.

Her hands were weak and boneless, and they should feel comfortable on her shoulders, but Amon was inexplicably a little scared, even more nervous than when she faced the strange snake in the river. But he thought about it carefully, Yin Nanna should have no ill will towards him, so he asked as naturally as possible: "Yin Nanna, how do you know that I have a scroll?"

He wanted to ask this sentence when he was on the ship, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of everyone. Fortunately, thanks to Yin Nanna's reminder, Amon remembered to take out the scroll and kill the strange snake to save his own life. But he never opened his leather pocket for Yin Nanna to see, nor did he reveal the secret of his magic skills, how could Yin Nanna know that there was still a scroll hidden in his leather pocket?

Yin Nanna gently rubbed Amon's shoulder with her hand, as if intentionally or unintentionally teasing: "You didn't tell me that you know magic, this is your secret, each of us has our own secrets, don't you?...... You performed a magic spell on the ship to slay monsters, and I know that you carry a lot of precious divine stones, so it's normal to have scrolls to protect you?...... You tell everyone that you have a secret mission that cannot be revealed, and I am still with you, you will not kill me, will you?"
