057, a home flowing with milk and honey
Pei Li muttered, "Although the cavemen are not as strong and powerful as the plateau giants, I have heard that they are very agile and flexible, and some of the large tribes are skilled in artisans, and they are natural craftsmen, which are very useful for building city-states. One more hand to prepare, and one more chess piece that can be used in the future, this Medanzo should pay attention to. I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain here. β
When Princess Xiaoqian and Pei Li were chatting privately, in another courtyard in the town, the other two people were also talking secretly. Jie Kai said to Prince Feng New: "Your Highness, don't you think this incident is a little strange?"
Feng Niu nodded and said, "The materials that the Giant Tribe wants are for moving, which means that they have already planned to move. These manpower are infinitely large and can carry heavy supplies through the mountains. They besieged Princess Xiaoqian and demanded these things from the town, and Her Royal Highness seemed to know their plans for a long time. β
Jacques pondered and said, "Yusil led the crowd to accept the mission of Princess Xiaoqian, and this scene seems to have been arranged in advance. ...... Your Highness, do you think you want to send someone to follow those plateau giants to see where they have migrated and what their plans are?"
Feng Niu shook his head and said, "They have long since left, and it is impossible to catch up in the deep mountains and plateaus." We just need to do our own thing, no matter what others are trying to do, and don't behave in a way that is unexpected. ...... Jacquet, I know what you're suspicious about, but just think about it, you don't have to say it. β
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince saw through his thoughts, Jie Kai smiled bitterly: "Then I won't say more, Your Highness knows it in your heart, it's really not good to talk nonsense about things without a shadow." ...... This time, the princess was able to get out smoothly, or we didn't get involved in the scuffle, it was all due to one person's credit. β
Feng Nu also smiled: "The mayor of Akkad Town, Diqi Zhou, is indeed a talent, and it can be seen that Princess Xiaoqian wants to entrap him, so we should also thank him well." I will go to the city-state of Kish and ask the lord to recommend him and appoint him deputy governor of the Treasury Department. Although I can't directly appoint city-state officials past the city lord, it should be no problem to say hello and recommend such a position. β
Jacques asked, "Then you're not going to visit the battlefield at the Youngbottom River?"
Feng Nu: "The battlefield is there, you can go whenever you want, now that your identity has been revealed, deal with the matter in front of you first, escort the princess back to the royal capital, and she will also pass through the city-state of Kish." Judging by the princess's meaning, it may be that she wants to invite Diqi to her own territory city-state to take care of government affairs, and I will promote him in my hometown city-state, and Diqi himself should be more willing. β
Speaking of this, he frowned and said: "Those two warriors, Medanzo and Amon, are real warriors and very capable, they have traveled farther than us, but they can get to the designated position in time in the dark night, and they should not be underestimated. Anyway, there is also a friendship of fighting side by side, and this is a good opportunity to show that I am close to the people, and I invite them to a meal today. β
Jie Kai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll immediately order someone to prepare a dinner party, and then send someone to invite them." β
Prince Vonniu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Not long ago, I heard news from the city-state of Uruk that a magician had killed the children of Humbaba's rebellion while crossing the river, and both Gilgamesh and Enkie used this as an excuse to kill Humbaba. You immediately secretly sent someone to the city-state of Uruk on a fast horse, and found the shipwright at that time to ask privatelyβwhat does that magician's staff look like, is it a branch?"
Jacques was surprised, "Do you doubt that Amon is the magician?"
Feng Nu explained, "It was under the guidance of you, a brilliant magician, that we managed to cross the plateau at night, so what about them? It's just my gut feeling that Amon might be the magician, and as for the truth, I will know the truth." β
Jacquet: "If that's him, are you going to expose his identity?"
Feng Niu shook his head and said, "I'm just curious, just know it." He shot on the ferry to save people, Gilgamesh didn't embarrass him, and this time in Akkad Town was to cooperate with us to save Princess Akane, why should we embarrass him?"
...... Amon and Medanzo returned to the inn and told each other about being received by Princess Xiaoqian, and were glad that the identity of the magician had not been revealed. Amon smiled and said to Medanzo, "It's nice to see you recover from your injuries, and in a blink of an eye, you have become so excited and enthusiastic, and congratulations on regaining your noble status." ...... But you look a bit nymphomaniac, and the eyes you look at Princess Xiaoqian all the way are very wrong. β
Medanzo replied with some embarrassment: "God Amon, where did you go, I admire and worship Princess Xiaoqian, and from today on, she is my idol!"
Amon stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, very good, you will follow the idol back to Barron City the day after tomorrow." β
Medanzo hurriedly explained: "Amon, you are my only god! I only admire Princess Xiaoqian, and of course I have to follow your guidance and follow you. β
Amon: "I understand what you think, the princess is indeed very attractive, and she has repaid you, and it is human nature that you are willing to serve her." It's not that you're going to leave this time, it's me who asked you to go back to the royal capital with the princess, and we should break up when we originally planned to cross the Youngbottom River, and the reason why I took you along the way was that I was afraid that something would happen to you, and now I can finally rest assured.
I will teach you all the cultivation paths in the future, and with your noble status, it may be more convenient for you to cultivate. You should go back to the royal capital first, take care of your own affairs, and then go to Link to find me. We'll meet you in Link's tribe a year later. β
The two were discussing the time and place of their next meeting, when someone outside the door reported that His Royal Highness Prince Feng New had invited the two warriors to the banquet. Medanzo asked in a whisper: "The prince has a dinner party, shall we go?" Amon replied: "We have fought side by side, and it is nothing to have a meal together, let's go, let's eat." β
...... That night, Amon taught Medanzo the follow-up content of cultivating the power of both sides of the body until he had cultivated all the sixth-level divine techniques and sixth-level physical skills to the peak, and then he left Akkadian Town. At the dinner today, Prince Vonniu asked where the two of them were going, and Medanzo said that he was going to follow the princess back to the royal capital, and Amon said that he was going to a distant country for business, and now it was delayed, so he had to leave immediately.
Amon left the town at night, walked in the direction of the Youngdi River to the west, came to the mountain road and went around for a long time, and after making sure that no one was following him, he turned north, walked through the mountains and gradually ascended, and returned to the place where the plateau giant tribe was.
The road was very difficult and detouring, and Amon hurried as fast as he could, until the next morning he reached the plateau where he had negotiated with Yusir. The tent made of snow leopard skin is long gone, and there is no figure on all sides, where is the tribe of plateau giants?
Amon looked around, only to see a faint black smoke rising from behind the distant mountains, in three different directions. The Giant Tribe had indeed burned down their village, but in which village was Yin Nanna waiting for him? Amon was hesitating when he suddenly heard a string of silver bell-like laughter behind him.
Yin Nanna's voice said not far away: "My little Amon, handsome hunter, brave hero, you have kept your word and found this place as promised. β
Amon had been monitoring the magic to pay attention to the movements around him, but he didn't notice Yin Nanna's arrival at all, which showed that Yin Nanna's magic was much more clever than him! Amon turned around, Yin Nanna stood a dozen steps away with a smile, she wore long hair and a long golden dress. This long skirt is changing its luster, like starlight and water, wrapping her beautiful body looks so moving.
Amon held his staff and bowed to her, "You said you would come back to me, and sure enough, you came!"
Yin Nanna covered her lips: "Oh, Amon, you are my savior, why do you want to talk to me so respectfully, don't you know Yin Nanna?...... I think it's so strange, why did you wade into the troubled waters of Princess Xiaoqian?"
Amon said honestly: "Save Princess Xiaoqian, there is no more than me, not too much of me, and the princess herself has a complete way to get out." But I saw you and Gilgamesh in the same car, and I thought you were his fiancΓ©e, Princess Akane. β
Yin Nanna let out a happy smile, and the swaying flowers and branches of the laughing skirt swayed: "So that's what happened! My little Amon, you are so cute, people are begging me for salvation, and no one has ever saved me." You're the first person to say that and it's true, and although it's a misunderstanding, I'm glad that I won't forget it. β
Amon hurriedly explained, "No, you have also helped me, and Enqi knows that I am a magician, but he said that I was able to pass through the city-state of Uruk safely under your protection, making up for my loss on the ferry, without any trouble. β
He always looked solemn when he spoke, and he didn't go to Yin Nanna's side. Yin Nanna put away her smile, looked at him and sighed softly, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you already know my identity." β
Amon replied respectfully, "Yes, I guessed, but I want to ask you in personβare you the former patron saint of Duke Town, Goddess Mu Yun?"
Yin Nanna looked at him expressionlessly for a long time, and gradually smiled: "My little Amon, you are really a smart lamb, how did you guess?...... I am not only the former patron saint of Duke, but I am still the patron saint of the people of Duke, you are the lost lamb of my flock, and I have finally found it. β
Amun replied, "I have seen your idol since I was a child, but when I saw you in person, I did not think of it, nor did I dare to think of it. Occasionally I saw your idol in the temple in Akkadian Town, and suddenly realized why it seemed familiar to you in the first place. Later, I learned that you were not Princess Xiaoqian, so I guessed that you might be the goddess Mu Yun, but this conclusion was too shocking to be confirmed by you personally, and I couldn't believe it. β
Yin Nanna smiled and nodded, "Now that you've confirmed, why don't you salute the guardian spirit?"
Amon didn't immediately kneel, thought for a moment and asked, "Duk Town is no longer there, maybe it's not your fault, but I have a problem." β
Yin Nanna was stunned: "Then you can ask!"
Amon: "May I ask if the oracle that almost cut off one of my fingers was left by you?"
Yin Nanna replied calmly, "I left behind, and it is the guardian oracle of Duke Town. Duke Town is my Divine Domain, and although the gods can see everything, it is impossible to pay attention to everyone and everything in the Divine Domain all the time. You almost had a finger cut off in front of my temple, and I only found out about it after the fact. ...... Why, do you hold a grudge against me for that?"
Amon asked, "Since the gods can see everything, do you know what I'm thinking?"
Yin Nanna looked at him, her eyes seemed to be more and more interested, and she still replied calmly: "As a god, I know your joys, sorrows, and sorrows, every emotion hidden in your heart, and I also know your body's reactions, even the slightest traces. I can tell if you're lying, but I can't know directly what you're thinking. To show loyalty to the Patronus, tell me yourself. β
Amun replied, "I do not hold a grudge against you, on the contrary, I salute you for this oracle, because I have been explained the origin of the spirit of the god's surname. Otherwise, Duke Town is no longer there, why should I kneel to the Patronus Spirit who has no guardian of the townspeople?" he knelt down as he spoke, leaning down to kiss the dirt on the ground, which was the most solemn etiquette on the Tianshu Continent. In the past, when the drunkard father took Amon to the temple to meet the goddess Mu Yun, he also saluted like this.
Yin Nanna's expression was a little embarrassed, changed slightly, and finally showed a charming smile, walked over and reached out to help Amon up from the ground, and naturally grabbed his arm, the soft and elastic chest was attached to his arm, just like the two of them once walked in the grassland.
The goddess smiled and said, "My Amon, this is not a temple, and there is no one else around, so you don't need to bow to me like that." Doesn't it feel good that we used to hold arms like this? Just when you were the hunter in the mountains, and I was the slave girl who shepherded the sheep. β
Who said it doesn't feel good, it's good, it's very good! Amon put his arm around Yin Nanna and said, "But after all, you are a god, which makes me feel incredible." If this scene were seen by others, their jaws would drop in surprise, and Amun held a goddess in the crook of his arm and spoke calmly. The earth-shattering hero Gilgamesh is no more than that, but Amon is just an ordinary boy from the countryside.
Yin Nanna was very satisfied with Amon's performance, rubbed her cheek against his shoulder very mischievously, pointed ahead and said: "You still salute me, I am still the patron saint of you and your people, I have called you here today because I have something important to tell you, you see what it is." β
Following the direction of her finger, Qianqianyu's finger picked a few times in the air, Amon sensed a powerful mana fluctuation, and the light in the clearing not far away distorted to appear a strange space, and there were lights and shadows flashing in the space - floods, monstrous waters merged into rolling turbidity currents, overflowing over hills, fields, and deserts. This is a miniature topographical display, and judging by the surrounding outcropping of the mountains, it is the landscape around the town of Duk. The scene in the light and shadow was clearly accelerating, and the flood water was surging from rushing to calming down, and a huge lake formed in the vicinity of Duk Town.
The water gradually receded, and the damp mud at the heights was exposed, and there were muddy swamps everywhere. The town of Duk no longer exists, and the black fire jungle to the west is dotted with strange rocks, shrubs, and pools of water among a large swamp that is impassable. When the water recedes to a certain extent, it does not recede quickly, because it is always raining in the sky and the climate has changed.
To the north of this large swamp is the Syrian Plateau, and to the east is the lofty mountains of the Eudi Valley, which remains a natural barrier. A tributary of the Eudi River, cut off by a landslide during the flood, flows through the swamps to the southern part of the Syrian Desert, where it converges into a large inland lake in the lower areas. To the south of this lake, there is still a desolate desert Gobi, far away from the Eju Empire and the Kingdom of Baren.
To the north of the lake, a lot of grass gradually grows, and patches of island-like grasslands appear in the swamp, and further around, there are still Jedi surrounded by swamps. But near the lofty mountains of the Yudi River Valley, there are isolated islands of fertile soil that have come out of the water. The change of light and shadow stops here, and it should be the actual topography today.
With a flick of her fingers, the image disappeared, and she took one of Amun's arms in her arms and asked, "Do you see what it is?"
Amon came back to his senses from the astonishing magic scene and replied with a breath, "After the flood, the terrain around Duk Town. β
Yin Nanna nodded and said, "This is what your hometown looks like now, it is still slowly changing, and in two or three years, a thousand miles of fertile land surrounded by mountains, plateaus, swamps, and deserts will be formed." It is still a swamp that cannot be accessed by large groups of people, except for a few areas of fertile soil near the Eudi Valley that can be sown and planted with villages and market towns. ...... Amon, do you know where those plateau giants have gone, and what did Princess Xiaoqian send them to do?"
Amun woke up like a dream: "I see, they went through the plateau, across the Eude, through the mountains, and went there in search of a fertile land to build a new home. Princess Akane asked them to submit to the Kingdom of Barron and build the Temple of Maldok in their new homeland, which is to expand the territory of the Kingdom of Hati!"
Yin Nanna added with satisfaction: "This is the only way to enter that fertile land at present, and the tribe of highland giants can travel long distances with heavy supplies in the lofty mountains, and be the first to arrive without fear of danger, and quietly establish villages in an isolated uninhabited wilderness, and possibly establish a city-state in the future." β
Amon exclaimed: "She is worthy of being the princess of the kingdom, and she is really far-sighted, but if she does this, isn't she afraid of provoking a dispute with the Hatti Kingdom?"
Yin Nanna said meaningfully: "If disputes are inevitable sooner or later, it is better to prepare early. No matter which country you enter from, there are long and difficult supply lines, and it will be a great advantage to be able to establish a stronghold in advance. ...... Amon, don't you want to go back to your homeland and rebuild your homeland? It will be a fertile soil that will flow with milk and honey. β
