062. Give you two choices

Walking alone through the thousands of miles of desert, of course, you have to make enough preparations, in that kind of environment, I am afraid that the elemental magic will not be able to condense enough water. Fortunately, Amon had magical bones, so he condensed pure water by the lake, put it in a vessel, and hid it with him, and then sat down to rest in Schrödinger's arms.

In the early hours of the next morning, Amon set out, as he had left Duk Town, with a staff of fine iron and a sleeping cat in his leather pocket, walking alone through the wilderness. This time, instead of going into the mountains, he headed south in the desert to the distant and strange Empire of Eju.

Although it is winter, in the endless sand dunes, the sand particles reflect the scorching sun, and there is no place to find shade on all sides, as if it will not be long before people are dry. Even the scorpion burrowed into the depths of the sand and no longer showed its head, and Amon walked unhurriedly, never stopping.

He wanted to find a place to rest, but he found that there was nowhere to hide from the sun and heat, so he should continue walking rather than sit on the scorching sand. If someone was around, they would sense that the air around Amon was cool, and he used a magic technique. I didn't do this mainly to make myself comfortable, but to worry about the cat in my leather pocket. Schrödinger was weak, and Amon could not bear to let him endure the heat of the desert any longer.

As he walked, he was thinking back to the experiences of this time, what happened to Medanzo, Princess Xiaoqian's schemes, Yin Nanna's plans, and what he saw in the underworld. He felt a glimmer of relief in his grief that his father's soul had finally rested, and Mayor Dasty's soul had been liberated. I remember that the old madman once said that Amon should thank and repay Dusty, find Moses and guide him to return to his hometown to rebuild his homeland, this is Amun's gratitude and reward.

Mayor Dasty's soul tells Amon that Hades is not the true destination of the undead after death, but a world created by Hades with a divine technique that can control the undead. Amon followed Yin Nanna through the seven portals of Hades, and had all kinds of complicated feelings, could it be that the so-called divine domain of the Hades King? It is very consistent with the identity of the Hades King, I don't know what is the difference between the divine domains of other gods?

Thinking back to the seven portals now, Amon always felt that there was something missing in them, and it did not fully show the world where the soul would return after death, and it made Amon very disgusted. The old madman asks him to find a way to become a god, and if Amon does become a god one day, one of the things he will do is to destroy that underworld and build a true place for the undead.

This is just the fantasy of a small fifth-level magician, but who can stop a young man from dreaming of it? Hades King Erebi probably couldn't have imagined that Amon would have such a wish after he escaped from Hades. Even if Hades knew, it would only be a slap, so she wouldn't take this little mortal seriously.

Walking in the desert under the scorching sky is a continuous drain on the power of the gods, and only Amun has such a habit. After a frail encounter on the outskirts of Uruk, Amon also knew how to control and regulate to avoid inadvertently falling into that situation again.

At the height of the midday sun, Amon patted his waist, and out of nowhere, a mist flew out, condensing into a cloud of ice crystals overhead, drifting forward without evaporating, like a parasol that reflected light. If only there was a carriage with a canopy, and my own carriage was still left in the inn in the town of Akkad. - Amon was just thinking this, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a carriage coming.

It doesn't matter if there is a road in the desert, as long as you can walk, but this car is running too fast, and in the middle of the day, the driver is waving his whip and whipping the horse again and again, is this trying to tire the horse to death? It didn't take long for the car to cross the sand dunes in front of him, and the driver saw Amon from afar with a happy face, and then found that Amon was just a person on foot, and shouted loudly in the car with a disappointed face: "The desert robbers are chasing after you, don't hide quickly!"

Amon grew up in Duk and often heard stories of desert bandits from the merchants who came to the town. The Syrian Desert belongs to the junction of Eju, Hati and Barun, and is also an important trade route between various countries, with caravans carrying a large number of goods passing through, and naturally there are robbers.

It is said that the robbers in the desert come and go like the wind, and they are extremely fierce, and it is difficult to stay alive if they encounter them, and some people even call these robbers the desert tribe. This is a no-man's-land for thousands of miles, and the nearby terrain is very complicated, and it is impossible to tell which country the gangsters have fled here to do the business of killing people and stealing goods, and it is difficult to clear and trace.

Large caravans are usually guarded by samurai at great expense, while smaller caravans are also escorted by bodyguards, but they can only be blessed with large bandits. The driver was very good, and he wanted to call for help from Amon, but found that Amon couldn't save them, so he reminded Amon to hide.

The robbers hadn't seen Amon yet, so they might have escaped by hiding behind the dunes or burrowing into the soft sand to cover themselves up temporarily. Amon nodded to the driver and said, "Thank you for reminding me, you don't have to be afraid, I'll stop the robbers." ”

Since he was a child, he had heard the legend of desert robbers, and it was the first time he had encountered them, and he was a little curious, not to mention that there was still a chance to save people, so why not do something good? Amon waved his staff, and the cloud above his head quietly disappeared, and he walked past the galloping carriage with a tree branch, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and two people and four horses chased after him behind the sand dunes in the distance.

Two robbers, dressed in black robes and covering their heads with cloaks, chased after them, followed by a horse tied to them. They held the reins in one hand and the bright scimitar in the other, and shouted while chasing: "Dead fatty, don't run anymore, stretching your head is a knife and shrinking your head is also a knife, hand over the money on your body quickly, and the uncle will give you a good time." Otherwise, I will tie you up and leave you in the desert to dry your life...... Hey, stinky boy, who are you?"

When the two robbers saw Amon who suddenly appeared when he passed by the carriage, they were surprised how such a person could come out and meet them without running away or dodging. The horse ran very fast, and when he spoke, he came to the front of him, and the robber on the left horse was a knife, he was used to killing people, and he didn't even bother to ask who the other party was, and whoever met it on this occasion was a death.

The scimitar is made of fine iron, and the blade has a curved body, which is very suitable for slashing and slashing with the power of the galloping horse. When the knife slashed towards Amun, there was still a faint layer of light on the blade, and the range of the edge shrouded far exceeded the length of the blade, this is a martial art that can only be possessed by a fifth-level warrior, no wonder the legendary desert clan is so fierce!

Amon didn't die, but he heard a click, and the "branch" in his hand met it, without touching the blade, and hit the man's forearm directly through the blade.

There was a sudden scream, and the robber's forearm was broken, and the knife flew out of his hand. The "branch" did not stop, and went straight forward, and the horse rushed forward, but the man was picked up in the air and fell heavily on the sand dune. The other robber did not expect this at all, his horse had already run over, and in a frightened manner, he hurriedly turned his horse and rushed towards Amun with his sword.

As a result, his horse was "unlucky" to step on the soft quicksand, and in the middle of the run, his front hooves fell and knelt down, and suddenly he fell and rolled forward. The robber fell off his horse suddenly, and was heavily weighed by the tumbling horse, and he didn't know how many bones he broke, and he fainted on the spot with a muffled grunt.

Amon cleaned up the two robbers, and his movements were extremely neat, that is, the kung fu of the wrong people.

He himself is also a fifth-level warrior, and his martial arts skills on the war horse may not be as good as that robber, and he didn't use any magic when dealing with the first person, and he only used the quicksand in the earth elemental magic to deal with the second person. But the other party was too light on the enemy, and the first knife was completely careless, and he didn't expect Amon to be so calm and accurate.

Amon had the experience of hunting in the mountains and taking down all the wild beasts that came in the flood alive, and although the two men rushed in with great momentum, it did not make him feel very stressed. And the young Amon probably didn't fully realize that he had unconsciously added another temperament to him, and he rarely felt scared and panicked, all of which may have something to do with the experience.

Hades has seen it, no matter how fierce the robbers in the desert are, how can they make Amon panic?

Extremely frightened was the fifth-level samurai who had fallen from the sand dune, and he raised his left hand and shouted, "Forgive me, I didn't know you were a lone hero...... I'm not here for you, it's unintentional to offend, and if you let me go, I'll give you a heavy reward, my treasury is full of gold and silver!"

"Hero, my benefactor, you must not let them go, they will come and kill you with a large army of robbers. These two men are the leaders of the desert bandits, and they have killed all the other people in the caravan, and only the servants have fled here in a carriage, and I am glad to have met you!"

In the distance came a panting, sweaty fat man, and when he looked back, the carriage had stopped, and the horse pulling the carriage was foaming at the mouth and convulsing and falling to death on the dunes. Whipped with a leather whip and galloping all the way under the fierce sky, pulling a cart and two people, the horse finally died of exhaustion. If Amon had come a little later, they would have been poisoned.

When the frightened robber saw the fat man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at him and shouted at Amun: "Hero, it is him, he has a large sum of money on him, you might as well kill him, and then you will be rich! The money on his body is all yours, if you can let me go, my night wolf will give you double the reward, and I will pay you twice as much money as this fat man!"

This man's name is Night Wolf, Amon has actually heard his name, and the merchants who came to Duk Town have mentioned it several times, and it is said that this man led his forty thieves to run rampant in the desert, and he was a very powerful bandit, and even the city-state sent troops to pursue him several times without success. The fat man was startled when he heard this, and he trembled and didn't dare to go any further, so he trembled and shouted: "Benefactor, you saved my life, I will definitely repay it heavily, as long as I return to Eju, I can pay you three times as much money!"

Amon was so skillful that he had collected two robbers in the blink of an eye, and he was walking through the desert alone, who knows where he came from? Maybe he was also a lone thief! If he had bad intentions, the fat man would have been unlucky in this desert where no one was around. As soon as he thought of this, how could he not be afraid, and the fat man quickly made a promise of gratitude.

Amun paid no attention to the thoughts of the merchant and the robber, and turned to the fat man, "Are you going to Eju? And the carriage, well, very good! Who are you, and what has happened to you?"

Amon's voice was not loud, but it had a kind of majesty, and the fat man hurriedly bowed and said: "I am Theo, a merchant from the city of Mengfeisi in the Eju Empire, transporting goods to the city-state of Uruk in the Kingdom of Baron to sell, and on the way back, I met robbers, just the two of them, but killed the bodyguards and all the men of the caravan, and only me and my slaves escaped here. ”

Amon asked again, "Go to Uruk City to do business, do you know Lescott Lee?"

Xi'o was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Yes, of course I know, I have a lot of goods that I sell to him, and I often buy things in his shop." Are you his friend?"

Amon: "Sort of a friend, I protected him once. ”

As soon as Theo heard this, he "understood" that Amon was a samurai who had been Lescott Lee's bodyguard, and he quickly took a few steps closer and said, "Great, then we are friends too!

When the robber saw that the two of them were getting acquainted with each other, he shouted anxiously: "Hero, how can you trust a shameless businessman, who is less trustworthy than the robbers...... If you kill him, you can get a large sum of money now, let me go, and I am guaranteed to get another large sum of money, my night wolf is notoriously trustworthy in the desert!"

Amon didn't seem to hear the night wolf's words, and pointed to the four horses around him and said to Theo: "Take all these horses with you, one of them is put on the cart, and the other three are led behind the cart, let's go together, I happen to be going to Eju too, and I can drop you off in the city-state of the headland." ”

After the two robbers fell off their horses, the four horses stood in place, including the horse whose front hooves had fallen just now, and they were also standing up at this moment, and they were not injured. The horses of Theola's carriage had fallen, and there were three men on the long march in the desert, and one horse was obviously not enough. The two unridden horses were carrying skins on their backs, which were supposed to be fresh water for drinking, and it was necessary to walk in the desert.

Before Theo could give his command, the servant who was driving the cart had already run over and took the reins of all four horses, pulled them to the side of the cart together, untied the skin from the horse's back and threw it into the cart, and changed a horse on the wheel, and shouted very respectfully: "Sir, this hero, the chariot is ready!"

The night wolf sat on the dunes and shouted, "Hero, you can't do this!"

Amon picked up the two scimitars on the ground and handed them to Theo, saying, "Take this, don't leave it." ”

Theo shuddered for a moment, but still took it cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "You didn't kill these two robbers?"

Amon shook his head and said, "I don't want to kill. ”

The night wolf was wounded in the leg when he fell, and he struggled to get up, and there he cried out: "If you don't want to kill us, why do you take the horses and water, we will die of thirst in the desert!"

Amon walked to the carriage and replied slowly: "I don't kill you, just because I don't want to kill, it's not that you don't deserve to die! The knife you just slashed at me was like cutting grass, but did you ask me who I was, and do you want me to save you? If you don't want to die of thirst in the desert, I have two suggestions, first, wait for the gods to come and save you, and second, kill yourself before being dried up by the sun, and give yourself a good time." ”

This made Theo shudder again, Amon is really ruthless, but it is reasonable to think about it, if the knife just now had not been dodged, Amon would have been in the wilderness. When he got in the car, Amon asked the driver, "What's your name?"

The driver replied, "My name is Aesop, and I am a slave of Lord Theo. ”

Amon nodded: "Aesop, you did a good job, drive back." ”

The carriage turned around, with three horses tied to it and three men sitting on it, heading south. Theo lifted the curtain and glanced at the night wolf who was gradually disappearing from sight and said, "He's dead!"

Amon said, "How do you know, maybe someone will pass by and save them." ”

Theo: "It's impossible, since the great flood, the north of the desert has become a swamp, the land transportation has been cut off, no one takes this trade route anymore, I will go north in a panic while fleeing." ”

Amon nodded and said, "I see, then they are indeed dead." His name was Night Wolf, and I had heard his name, and he was in the desert with a lot of blood, and he deserved to end up like this. ”

Xi'o seemed to suddenly remember something, and patted his head and said: "Benefactor, I have also heard of the name Night Wolf, he has been harassing the trade for many years, Lord Dick, the lord of the Cape City-State, has a bounty for his arrest, if anyone can capture him alive or cut off his head, and send him to the Cape City-State will have a large bounty, you almost missed this opportunity!"

Amon did not order the carriage to return, but pointed to the two scimitars on the ground: "I'm not interested in asking for this money, if you want, the knife is at your feet, go cut off his head and bring it back to the city-state, the bounty is yours!"

Theo shuddered again: "How dare I do it, if you don't want the bounty, then you don't want it, anyway, as long as you get to the city-state of the headland, I will definitely thank you!" The fat merchant looked a little regretful, he didn't have the courage to take a knife to cut off the head of a bandit, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to accept the reward. Even if the night wolf is dead, but the thieves under him are still there, if he knows that it was the night wolf killed by Xiou, will he not be able to take this trade route in the future?

As the carriage moved on, Theo asked, "Benefactor, I don't know where you come from or what your name is?"

Amon replied, "My name is Amun." He only gave his name, but did not introduce his origins, and Theo did not ask too much. In the merchant's opinion, Amon may have been a warrior who traveled around the continent since he had been Lescott Lee's bodyguard.
