Yin Nanna's tone was delicate and scared when she spoke, but looking at her expression, she didn't mean to be scared at all, but looked at Amon with great interest and smiled.

Amon twisted his neck and said, "Why did I kill you? Saving a boatload of people is not a bad thing! Yinnanna, can you tell me who the shepherd of Sumertown is, and his whip rope is made of the snake tendons of monsters in the Youngbottom River, you obviously know, why did you remind me now? Do you already know that we will encounter monsters when we cross the river, and whether the experience you are talking about is true or false—who are you and why did you find me?"

Yin Nanna smiled: "Everyone has their own secrets, Amon, aren't you the same? You said it yourself, a magician with a secret mission...... I want to thank you for everything you have helped me do, and what I said is true, but it depends on how you understand it, and maybe you will understand it in the future. ...... Amon, I will keep my promise to repay you, you can ask me for one thing, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse, even if what you want is my ......"

has already crossed the Yudi River, Yin Nanna doesn't seem to care if her identity is exposed, she just wants to see if Amon can guess who she is, but she doesn't say it, a little deliberately teasing him.

At that moment suddenly came the voice of a man in the distance, singing well, but the lyrics were not very good--"Who have you ever loved, have you never changed your heart? Your beloved bird has broken its wings, and your lion is wandering ......with his wounds."

As soon as she heard this song, Yin Nanna's face changed, and she withdrew her hand from Amon's shoulder and stood up. Amun also looked back in the direction from which the song came, and saw a convoy on the open river beach at the end of the field, and the magnificent carriage decorated with gold reliefs was flanked by guards of honor in bright armor, and the grandeur was almost like a king on a tour.

The carriage had no carriage, but supported a large ornate umbrella, and on it sat a man of about thirty years of age, with a handsome face and a muscular figure, dressed in a loose purple velvet robe. The driver was a samurai, a man more than nine feet tall, wearing only a cuirass and no helmet, with a heavy bronze sword shining silver hanging from his waist, and a huge shield about the height of an ordinary person beside him.

The singer was the purple-robed man sitting in the car, singing while holding a glass of wine, as if no one was around.

Seeing such a convoy coming from behind, Amon had already driven the carriage to the side of the road to avoid it. Yin Nanna shouted with an angry face: "Gilgamesh, you are really brave enough to sing such a song in front of me!

The singer also saw Yin Nanna, stood up in the car, bowed and saluted, "Beautiful girl, you can call me Jill...... Seeing your beautiful face like a god, what is your name today?"

Yin Nanna jumped out of the carriage and stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the convoy, and replied with a sneer: "My name is Yin Nanna, Jill, Lord Uruk, where are you going?"

Amun, who was in the carriage on the side of the road, was taken aback, it turned out that the owner of the convoy was Gilgamesh, the lord of Uruk City in the Kingdom of Barron! He had heard Medanzo mention this famous figure, some people said that he was a ninth-rank warrior, others said that he was a great magician, but Gilgamesh himself never confirmed it himself.

There is another person by Gilgamesh's side whose name is also thunderous on the Tianshu Continent, he is Gilgamesh's playmate when he was a child, and when he became an adult, he served as the captain of the city-state guard, named Enqidu, is a genuine ninth-level warrior, known as the first warrior of the Tianshu Continent. This title is somewhat exaggerated, but it is true that Enkidu has never been defeated.

Such a character is something that Amon would never dare to provoke, and with his identity, he will only avoid it from afar. But Yin Nanna didn't seem to be scared at all, so she stopped the entire convoy with a straight face. It seemed that Gilgamesh knew her, and got up in the car to salute her, but asked her what her name was today, and his demeanor was respectful but his tone was a little playful.

The situation of the Barron Kingdom is not the same as that of the Eju Empire, it is a united kingdom composed of many city-states forming alliances, and in the conquest [***] and acting in unison, there is also a city-state alliance council to decide major affairs and accept the leadership of the king, the king is actually equivalent to the role of the alliance leader, and the city lord of each city-state has great reading power.

Gilgamesh was a well-known heroic figure with a high reputation, and he usually didn't even pay much attention to the king, and only listened to decisions related to the important affairs of the kingdom. However, the city-state of Uruk was also an important town for the Kingdom of Baron to defend the Eudyes River defense, so the lords of the city-states, including the king, usually did not dare to offend him.

Hearing Yoonanna's conversation with Gilgamesh, Amon began to suspect that Yoonanna might be a princess of the royal family, the only way to explain the scene before him, which he had already had when Yoonanna wrote her name in the sacred script.

Gilgamesh ordered the convoy to stop, but he stood on the cart and did not get out, but still bowed and saluted: "I received urgent news on my way through the city-state that the youngest son of the so-called guardian god of the Eudes, Humbaba, a vicious snake, attacked the ferry during the day. Since Humbaba has violated the covenant of the gods, I can finally go and slaughter the nine-headed beast...... Yin Nanna, do you want to go and see the excitement?"

Amun, who heard this, was startled again, and the whip in his hand was so unstable that he couldn't hold it steady. Humbaba is the legendary patron saint of the Youngdi River, and Gilgamesh actually says that he is going to kill it! His heart is full of surprise and curiosity, and he really wants to see the excitement, but reason tells him that this kind of excitement cannot be made, and it is wise to leave quickly. But Yin Nanna stopped in the middle of the road to speak, and he had to hide on the side of the road and have nothing to do.

I only heard Yin Nanna giggle: "Jill, you are going to kill Hung Baba with Enqi, it is not easy to deal with, you must cut off all nine heads, can you do it?"

Gilgamesh narrowed his slender eyes, stroked a ring on his hand, and said: "I have to try it or not, I wanted to slaughter that nine-headed serpent, don't forget that cedar wood is the most important product of the city-state of Uruk, but the channel that transports it is controlled by Humbaba, and my people sacrifice to it year after year, but it is insatiable, how many years have it been impossible to sail at night, and how many people have been buried in the womb of its descendants?"

Yin Nanna frowned slightly: "But I heard that this is the agreement of the two gods of Enriel and Malduk, the jungle rich in cedar wood east of the Youngdi River is the territory of the gods of Malduk, but the Youngdi River is the territory of Humbaba, and it is the gate of Enriel's gods." ...... You are not allowed to sail at night because you have refused to set up a temple for Humbaba in Uruk. ”

Gilgamesh snorted coldly, "Does it really regard itself as a god? It's just a beast guarding the door! The temple of the city-state of Uruk will only worship the true guardians, not the blackmailers! Why does it ask me to worship its idol in the kingdom of the Lord God of Malduk? Poor hydra, do you think that in this way you can get your own god's domain, and you don't want to think that anyone will really sacrifice to it!"

Yin Nanna smiled again: "Yes, although Hong Baba has a lot of heads, it is not very easy to use...... But if you kill it, aren't you afraid of annoying Enriel?"

The warrior who was driving the car suddenly raised his head and said, "What happened at the ferry today, Humbaba has already violated the covenant of the gods, so I am going to kill it, and Enriel, as a god, cannot violate his own oracle...... The most beautiful girl in my eyes, why should you worry about it? It is we who face fierce battles, and we are also those who face danger, but I must pick up the sword in my hand today!"

Yin Nanna looked at the big man and said with a smile: "Enqidu, have you always wanted to be able to compete with the gods, and you want to kill Hong Baba to prove it?"

The warrior named Enqidu said proudly: "Even if Humbaba has a temple, how many people will sincerely sacrifice? If I kill that nine-headed evil beast, even if there is no temple, how many people on both sides of the Eudi River should be grateful and sing praises and make up a pastoral song to sing?"

Yin Nanna covered her mouth and said: "It's a pity that you are a step late, the strange snake that committed the murder in the river has been killed by a young hero who stepped forward, I was also present at the time, and it was he who escorted me across the river safely." ...... You don't become the hero who saved the boat, and you're going to find the bad luck of Humbaba? I don't think you can beat it alone, but Jill may have the ability. ”

Enqidu stood up from the wheel, turned back to Gilgamesh and said, "Lord of the city, please allow me to challenge Humbaba alone. ”

Gilgamesh glanced at Yin Nanna and frowned slightly, and then said to Enqidu with a pleasant face: "My best brother, of course I will not refuse your request, but I will not put you in danger either. You may be able to defeat Humbaba, but it will be difficult to stop him from escaping, so let me cut off its retreat for you, and let you cut off its nine heads one by one with your own hands, and accomplish your deeds!"

Enqidu bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Lord of the City." ”

Gilgamesh waved his hand and said to Yin Nanna: "The sons and grandsons of Humbaba do not let people cross the river at night, and kill one after another, and there is always an endless calamity, and today I will directly cut off the source of this calamity...... Yin Nanna, do you want to stop me?"

Yin Nanna's face was like a flower, and she looked at Gilgamesh with affectionate eyes and said: "How could I stop you, to be honest, I also want to see someone slaughter that nine-headed beast, Jill, you have this courage, you are really a hero...... Thank you for inviting me to come with me in the car, and I want to witness this rare heroic feat on earth. ”

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt, jumped into the carriage lightly, got into the carriage from Enqidu's side, and waved her hand: "Gilgamesh, let's go, I can't wait." ”

She actually left Amon and followed the convoy, Amon was a little puzzled and inexplicably relieved. The convoy continued to move forward, passing by Amon's side, and he was a little nervous, only to hear Gilgamesh ask: "Yin Nanna, you came in this carriage, don't you take it with you?"

Yin Nanna laughed: "My lamb himself will find the way and finally understand what his mission is, to walk with the heroic Jill, I no longer need the protection of others." ”

Gilgamesh sneered, "With Enqidu, my carriage is the safest place on the continent, but how can you need me to protect it?"

The guard of honor had gone away with the carriage in its arms, leaving Amon in place. Yin Nanna had asked Amon to send her to the capital of Baron, but now she followed Gilgamesh. If she is really a royal princess in distress, and she knows and trusts Gilgamesh, she really doesn't need a magician like Amon anymore with his protection, but she can't just say hello?

Amon had just thought this in his heart, when he heard Yin Nanna's voice in his ears: "I'll go and see how they kill the Hydra." ...... You killed Humbaba's youngest sons, and if Humbaba knows who did it, you will be in danger when you cross the Eudes in the future, so I wish them success. ...... Go on your own and go where you're going, and I'll come back to you and fulfill my promise. ”

The convoy had disappeared from the distant sight, but Yin Nanna's voice seemed to be ringing in her ears, although this was only a "secret language" in the mid-level information arts, but it was used very skillfully! Amon was taken aback again, and then thought that since Yin Nanna knew the divine script and had a noble identity, it was normal for her to be proficient in divine arts. It's just that he was interrupted by Gilgamesh before he finished speaking, and he still hasn't figured out who Yin Nanna is, and she comes and goes so mysteriously.

Seeing that the convoy was no longer visible, Amon raised his whip and was about to catch the car, but suddenly raised his head alertly. A black dot appeared where the convoy disappeared, and the black dot quickly became larger, and it was a galloping figure, extremely burly and tall like a giant, it was the samurai Enqidu who had just driven the car.

Enkidu seemed to be just walking, but his speed was faster than a frightened horse, and he could even catch up with the birds passing by in the sky, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Amun's car. Every step he took was silent, but Amon felt a force that made the earth tremble, and in front of this warrior, people couldn't even raise the courage to resist.

When Amon saw Enqidu's face clearly, he had already reached into his bag and took out the high-level scroll "Spatial Turbulence" in his bones, and put it together with the other two middle-level scrolls. If the ninth-level warrior was hostile to him, Amon would only want to escape as quickly as possible. But what did the "First Samurai of the Tianshu Continent" do when he came to him as a little coachman, was it Yin Nanna's instructions?

Seeing Enqidu's speed, Amon even doubted that if the other party really wanted to attack, would he have a chance to use the scroll? Enqidu came to the carriage and stood still, like a small mountain, although he had a calm face but did not mean to attack Amon, holding a golden plate in both hands, and said coldly: "Driver of the car, it was you who killed the monsters that committed murder in the Youdi River, protected the passengers on the boat, and maintained the safety and dignity of the city-state, this is the reward of the city lord, please take it." ”

Although the word "please" came out of the mouth of this proud samurai, the tone of his voice was an irresistible order. Amon jumped out of the carriage, stretched out his hands to take the gold plate, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Lord of the City, but I also saved people to save myself." He could feel that Enkidu had an inexplicable hostility towards him, and under the pressure of the great samurai's gaze, he even felt a little difficult to breathe.

Enqidu stared at Amun, still coldly saying, "Your actions deserve to be praised, this is the city lord's thanks. ...... Young magician, you are passing through the city-state under the protection of Yin Nanna today, so hurry away. The next time I run into you, be careful that I kill you! Remember, a woman like Yin Nanna can't belong to you. ”

With that, Enkidu turned around and left, quickly disappearing behind the distant horizon. A gust of wind blew, and Amon suddenly felt a chill, just a few words, he was already in a cold sweat. Look at the two scrolls and ten divine stones on the gold plate, the scrolls are the "Space Imprisonment" and "Detection Forbidden Break" that he used in the river.

Gilgamesh was well-informed, and not only knew what was happening on the Eudes, but even what kind of scroll Amon was using. He ordered Enqi to send two of them, and the other scroll was compensated with ten divine stones symbolizing the surname. The "Song of Ice and Fire" is probably worth far more than ten divine stones, it is Nero's original creation, and Gilgamesh may not know what kind of scroll it is, but he has done it very generously, probably to save Yin Nanna's face.

Enriel had just called Amon a "magician", apparently already knowing his identity, and his tone was very unkind, and he said that he had been protected by Yin Nanna to pass through the city-state, and that the next time he encountered him, he would kill him. This is really a disaster for Amon, when has he offended this ninth-level great warrior and the captain of the city-state guard? Listening to Enqidu's last words, he is clearly warning Amon not to think anything wrong about Yin Nanna!

Amon asked himself, he didn't have any wrong thoughts about Yin Nanna! What a trouble it was to be with this woman, first he encountered someone blocking the road outside Sumerian town, and when he crossed the river, a monster attacked him, and now he was inexplicably threatened by a great warrior. Fortunately, you don't have to go with her anymore, otherwise Amun will not be able to afford a fifth-level magician!

Amon was a little arrogant, what he encountered today was the top existence in the Tianshu Continent, in fact, with a fifth-level magician and the power of a fifth-level warrior at the same time, he could not be underestimated in any city-state in the Tianshu Continent.

The cold sweat had dried, and Amon sat in the carriage and asked himself a few questions—Was Yin Nanna hostile to herself? No, no. Did Yin Nanna do something wrong? No, she didn't seem to do anything wrong. Did you do anything wrong? No, you didn't do anything wrong. Am you sorry for Yin Nanna? No, he just helped her without the slightest offense.

Thinking of this, Amon settled down again, shook his horsewhip, and drove away quickly. He had just seen clearly that Gilgamesh's convoy had left the road and was heading up the fields towards the Eudean River, and the road was leading in the other direction, and according to Yinanna, it was possible to bypass Uruk City and return to the official road, and Amon only wanted to go as fast as possible.

The whip sounded continuously, and the horse ran very fast, and Nescott Lee sent him a good horse in a hundred, galloping all the way from afternoon to dusk. The cart finally slowed down after dark, the horse was tired, and the two horses could not stand it any longer, he had gone far enough. Enqidu had said that Amon could pass through the city-state this time, and that he didn't have to be too afraid, Amon just wanted to stay away from those potential dangers.

After dark, Amon found a hidden mountain forest far from the roadside, drove the carriage into the forest, and found a water source to drink the horses nearby. I also have to have a good rest, the consumption of fighting with the strange snake during the day is really large, and I feel a little dizzy after running all the way.

In the middle of the night, Amon woke up from sleep in the carriage, feeling still a little drowsy, and began to sit quietly and practice the basic meditation of divine arts, and suddenly felt a trace of shock and disturbance in his soul, and operated the detection magic to reach the most sensitive state of perception, and heard various sounds in the distance.

There was the terrible roar of the monsters, like thousands of bison screaming in unison, and the shouts of the warriors, which sounded vaguely like the voice of Enqidu, accompanied by the overwhelming sound of collision and crackling. Is Enkidu really wrestling with the nine-headed serpent Humbaba, the guardian of the Youngbottom River, and will he be able to kill it, or will he be killed by the serpent? The sound came from far away, and even if it was inaudible with the detection of divine sense, it was still terrifying.

Amon killed Humbaba's youngest son, and he might be retaliated against by the river god when he crossed the Eudea River in the future, so he should have hoped that someone would kill him. And Enqi has threatened Amon, and he should also hope that Enqi will be buried in the snake kiss. But when Amon heard the sound of the fight, he still hoped in his heart that Enqi would be able to successfully kill the Hydra.

As for the threat of that warrior, he didn't care too much, the Tianshu Continent was so big, Amon was a magician who hid his whereabouts and could go wherever he wanted, and it was almost impossible to deal with the captain of the city-state guard who was high above, even if he was in Uruk City, he might not meet it, in case he really ran into it and avoided it far away. Enqidu was just intimidating him, it was impossible to hunt down such an inconspicuous figure in person, and Amon was not Humbaba!

The distant struggle did not end until almost dawn, and the tragedy of the scene can be imagined. Amon was already in a trance, and he couldn't help but think of what the old madman said, whether it was physical art or divine art, if he cultivated to the ninth level, he was already the pinnacle of mortals, and even had the power to fight with the gods, and was called a demigod. And the old madman still suspects that some of the so-called gods are just demigods, not real gods.

Now it seems that the so-called Yudi River Humbaba may be a demigod, and the ninth-level great warrior Enqi dares to kill it, and he should also know the lair of the nine-headed serpent.
