Pivot of the Sky

The town of Summer, home to more than a thousand people, is already a small village town, but Amon has never been anywhere else, and thinks it is much smaller than the town of Duke. But the sky here is blue, and most of the clothes people wear are lightweight linen or cotton clothes, and the fields and sheep on all sides, and the livestock and the herding goose, are obviously much richer than Duke Town.

But the building doesn't look pretty enough and sturdy and seems poorer than the town of Duke. Amon was even a little surprised when they walked past the town's temple, which was actually covered with wood and only two floors tall! It's a long way from the magnificent temple built in Turk Town with green and gold stone and white marble.

He whispered, “Why are people here building temples with wood? Most of the houses are wooden. Aren't you afraid of fire? ”

Yoon Nanna explained in a low voice: “Stone comes out of the mountains and reprocessing is expensive. It is cheap and convenient to build a house with wood. … but the temple is made of cedar wood, which is different from ordinary wood. ”

Amon: “What kingdom is this, and what god is this in the temple? ”

YOON Nanna: “This is the territory of the Kingdom of Baron, and the Temple of Enrique has been built. ”

Amon was somewhat puzzled and asked: “I heard that the Lord God of the Kingdom of Baron is King Marduk, and that the Lord God of Hattie and Assyria is the Great God of Enrique. Why is the Temple of Enrique built here? ”

Yoon Nanna shrugged her shoulders: “Perhaps the realm of God is not exactly the same as the realm of man. In Barron, the provinces east of the juvenile river build the Temple of Marduk, while those west of the juvenile river are the Temple of Enrique, but the temple also serves Marduk and the other gods.... It's all the same god system anyway. According to human legend, isn't Enrique Marduk's uncle? ”

Amon nodded: "Oh, I see. ”

Amon stopped asking, and Yoon Nanna asked, "Amon, aren't you curious? ”

Amon looked back at her and said, "What's so strange about this, Enrique? Isn't he Marduk's uncle? As far as I know, the king god of the Empire is Horus, but the most important temple of the Lower Ecumenical is the Temple of Isis, which is also dedicated to Horus and the other gods. ”

YOON Nanna blinked: “I mean this division of the temple along the banks of the river, how was it formed at the earliest, is there also an agreement between the gods? Aren't you curious? ”

Curiosity? Curiosity about the gods sent both the old lunatic and Bell's life in, and so many others were buried, and Amon was forced to go on an unknown and rugged journey. He did not want to meddle with this question in front of Yoon Nanna, smiling and answering: “What good is curiosity? I am a little mortal, I do not know Marduk or Lord Enrique, I have no place to ask.... Yoon Nanna, this place is familiar to you, where do you sell clothes? Let's go get some clothes first. ”

Yoon Nanna dragged Amon into a Yokohama alley in town and into a shop. A 16-year-old and 7-year-old man greeted him: “Do you want to buy clothes? Just take a look. Our store is the best in the neighborhood, with cloth and ready-made clothes. ”

Amon buys clothes very simply, pointing to himself: “I want to get dressed, I can wear it. ”

Guy glanced at him, obviously Amon was not a nobleman, so he took the best light cotton cloth, the red stripe was pretty and eye-catching, but there were no other colors and embroideries, greeting him: “Thirty copper coins are needed for this suit, cool and breathable on a hot day, good price, you can't buy it anywhere else. ”

Amon thought the fabric was sturdy and not durable enough, pointing to an equally lightweight but tightly woven set of coarse linen clothes next to it: “I want this cloth, plus pants of the same fabric, two sets. ”

Dude slightly disappointed answered: "Pants of ten copper coins, two sets of twenty, don't you see anything else? ”

Amon shook his head: “I don't need it anymore.... Yoon Nanna, choose what kind of clothes you want to buy. ”

Yoon Nanna pointed at a long dress hanging from the wall: “This looks good, I like it, wouldn't it be expensive? ”

When the man turned his head and saw Yoon Nanna's face, his eyes immediately felt glowing. Staring at her face and body could hardly move his gaze. When he heard the question, he replied: "This young lady, you really have eyes. Of all the clothes we sell, this is the best color that civilians can wear. It is just a little more expensive and requires sixty copper coins. ”

Dude glanced at Amon as he spoke. Amon didn't even care what the guy thought of him. He thought or didn't want to reach out and pulled out a silver coin and handed it over: “That's all I bought. Do you have a place to change? Let her change first. ”

Dude was surprised, so he nodded. “Yes, there is. The little door behind the counter goes in and you can change into the house.” Then took the silver coin and found Amon twenty copper coins.

When Yoon Nanna got dressed and came out, Amon couldn't help but notice. The dress she chose fits perfectly and is a fine white cotton cloth with an indigo stripe that perfectly outlines her delicate figure, almost everywhere unattractive. The boy's eyes were straightened, and Yoon Nanna turned around and said, “Amon, is it nice? ”

Amon nodded: "Beautiful. You look good. You look even better in this outfit. ”

And the guy sighed, “Girl, you're beautiful. What's your name? ”

Yoon Nanna looked back and smiled: “My name is Yoon Nanna. I bought you such expensive clothes. Can I give you some more shoes? ”

Such expensive clothes? Is it really expensive? Amon has no idea about this. Since clothes are expensive to buy, of course, but it's no big deal. In total, only 80 copper coins have bought two sets of clothes and a dress. It's not enough for the cheapest bottle of wine in Duke Town.

And the guy was almost souffled by Yoon Nanna's laughter. He took a pair of cloth tripping shoes out of the back of the counter. The thick soft hemp bottom looked very comfortable. He said with a smile: "Sure, come back often. We have all kinds of beautiful clothes here. ”

Yoon Nanna smiled at him again, but didn't say thank you, and pointed to Ammon: “I'm not wearing shoes, but he paid for them. You should give him a pair of shoes he can wear. These are too small. ”

Man, "Ah” sounded obviously disappointing, but Yoon Nanna still looked at him with a smile. He handed Yin Nanna another pair of shoes that Amon could wear, along with the original pair: "Okay, I'll give you another pair, even if I give it to you. ”

Yoon Nanna smiled in disguise: "You little fellow gave me two pairs of shoes at once, I'm not afraid the boss will come back to scold you? ”

The little fellow came out of nowhere and raised his chest: “Don't be afraid, the owner is my father, this shop is my house!... Miss, you must come here often, I will give you a cheap price.” The tone of his voice made him look again, and he didn't know if he wanted to give or take advantage of it.

It's even more eye-catching when you put on the new clothes you bought and the two walked into town again. Past pedestrians almost stared at Yoon Nanna - her face, her breasts, her body. It must be uncomfortable to see someone else, but Yoon Nanna is laughing.

Out of the store, Amon asked, "Where are the sheep sellers? Let's go buy sheep. ”

Yin Nanna: “Of course not. There is a market on the other end of town. ”

Similar provisions exist in the countries of the Heavenly Pivot, where slaves may not wear dyed fabrics or embroidered clothing. Yoon Nanna, claiming to be a shepherd slave, wore a flower dress stained with an indigo stripe. Amon, however, remains inexperienced in this regard, as there are virtually no slaves in the town of Duke.

The inhabitants of Duke Town are almost all miners' houses, only the mayor and Lord Xiao Gu have servants who live and live. There are mining slaves in the mines outside the town, who do the same work as miners and dress in the same clothes. Amon just thought Yoon Nanna looked so good in this dress that even he couldn't help but look at his face more often.

The two came to the town, and Yin Nanna caused a lot of unrest. Amon is not afraid of people to look at him. He dared to look at Aikoo-Maria in the first place, and in the Cave Wildlings tribe was worshipped as a god. In Duke Town, more than once, he became the center of attention. What is it that these townspeople see? He just seemed a little out of place, but didn't figure out what was wrong.

Almost every staller would come to greet him with enthusiasm and then sweep Amon's linen and grass shoes by surprise and look a little strange, as if it was too bad for Yoon Nanna to stand with him.

But when she went around the market, she couldn't find what Yoon Nanna called a white sheep with black spots. Her divine color looked disappointing as if she was about to cry again. Amon consoled, “Can I get another sheep? Anyway, what you lose is a sheep, and I can give you a bigger and better one. ”

Yoon Nanna shook her head with her mouth. “No, that's the kind of sheep I'm looking for. Get out of town and graze the sheep. There's more sheep out there. Can we go get a shepherd? ”

Amon nodded, “Well, let's keep looking. ”

They had already rocked around Sumerian, and almost everyone in town was talking about a guy in grass shoes and a coarse coat, leading a beautiful girl here. The girl was wearing worn out clothes, and the young man led her to Old Joseph's tailoring shop and bought a beautiful, expensive new dress. The young man was said to have bought only two sets of coarse linen clothes himself and to have taken advantage of them in a small way, asking the girl for two pairs of shoes.

Life in small towns is boring, and this is the easiest thing to spread. People are arguing that it must have been the guy who kidnapped the girl who ran by here, and the two should have come from far away, because the guy was talking with a hatchet accent.

Amon followed Yoon Nanna out of town and saw the herd of herds there eating grass. Yoon Nanna suddenly had a surprise finger: “Look, that's the sheep I'm looking for! ”

Amon turned his head and shook: "Yoon Nanna, how can you point at me? ”

Yoon Nanna photographed him: "Look over there. ”

Amon turned his head to the other side, and there were actually several lambs in the herd with black spots. By then, YOON Nanna had run over and squatted down to hold a sheep and shouted with surprise: "That's it, Amon, that's the sheep I lost! ”

“Lady, don't talk nonsense. That's my sheep!” The shepherd with the long rod whip came from afar and shouted unhappily that he was a haunted old man.

Amon hurriedly walked over and reminded Yoon Nanna: “How could this be your sheep? It can't fly. It can come here from so far away. Are you mistaken? ”

The old man glanced at Amon and went to Yin Nanna. “This is my master's sheep. Every morning I drive them to the hillside for grass. Every evening I drive them back to the sheep ring. Every day I count them carefully. This sheep is definitely not yours. ”

Yeon Nanna held the sheep and didn't let go. She started crying at Amon again: "But this is the sheep I lost. I know it, Amon, help me! ”

The shepherd got angry: "Beautiful girl, you can't be so unreasonable! It's the sheep I put. ”

If Yoon Nanna is not a girl, the old shepherd will probably have to wave a whip. Amon quickly stood in the middle of the conversation: “Probably a similar sheep, she has been looking for a day, inevitably in a bit of a hurry. I'll tell you what. How much is it worth to buy this sheep? ”

The shepherd hasn't spoken yet, but Yoon Nanna stood up and grabbed Ammon. “This is obviously my sheep. Why do you have to pay for it? He stole my sheep! ”

The shepherd finally got angry, pointing a whip at Amon's nose: “Outsiders, did you bring this girl to be a bandit? Watch my whip! ”

Yoon Nanna hid behind Amon and said: "We are not bandits, you are the thief, you stole my sheep! ”

Amon didn't care about the shepherd's whip, and opened his arms. “Don't be angry, uncle. She lost an identical sheep, thinking this was her.... I promised to help her find it and pay for your sheep. ”

The shepherd snorted coldly and waved a whip: “Not for sale! This is my master's sheep. ”

Amon: “I'll give you more money. Your master won't blame you. He'll just be happier. ”

The shepherd glanced at him and stretched out two fingers to scornfully say: "Okay, two silver coins, love to buy or not!” He hated the two expatriates, and the girl said he was a thief, and a little fellow looked worse in front of the girl, so he said an incredible price and wanted to send them away.

Unexpectedly, Amon had already pulled out two silver coins and handed them over. The shepherd stared and even forgot to reach for them. Amon pulled his hand over and put the silver coin in the palm of his hand: “Here's the money. Put it away. Can you give me a rope so I can take the sheep away? ”

Things outside the mountains are really cheap, Amon has already said that he is willing to pay more, I didn't expect to ask for two silver coins. And the shepherd stared at Amon like a monster, the sheep was not big, two silver coins could buy five, today is a small fortune.

He looked at Amon for half a day and suddenly came back to his senses. He simply ripped off his whip rope and gave it to Ammon: "Take this to the sheep. There is no other rope here.” Then he whispered, “Boy, you're a generous good man! Why don't you buy yourself a nice dress if you have money?... the girl is beautiful, but I'm afraid you can't afford to waste it. ”

Amon said thank you and tied the sheep with a whip and took it off the ranch. When she walked away, Yoon Nanna held Amon's arm in his ear and said, “Amon, don't you think I'm being unreasonable? But this sheep is mine, and I swear, it looks exactly like the one I threw away. ”

Amon grinned, "Maybe it's yours, maybe it's not yours, but there's no proof that it's in the sheep herd, and you can't just take it with you unless someone proves that it came from your sheep herd.... the place where you lost your sheep is a long way from here, and it's unlikely to come running by itself. There are a lot of black spots in those sheep, maybe really. ”

Yoon Nanna: “Each sheep has a different spot. Of course the shepherd will recognize it. Anyway, I want to thank you for buying this sheep.... but why are you spending so much money? You're strong. You don't have to be afraid of that shepherd's blackmail. Who's your opponent? ”

Amon shook his head: “I went to buy sheep, not to rob them. If I can prove that the sheep is yours, I wouldn't mind helping you get it back, but unfortunately I can't prove it, not that I don't believe you. ”

Yoon Nanna bowed her head: “But how can I repay you if I owe you too much? ”

Amon laughed: "You have already repaid me, brought me to town and sent me such a delicious cake. ”

Yin Nanna: “But your sheep are too expensive, if I didn't talk like that, you wouldn't have spent so much money. ”

Amon shrugged: “It's not expensive, I think it's cheap. ”

Yoon Nanna picked up the flogging rope from Amon and took the sheep. They crossed the market and returned to town. Amon is looking for a place where people smoke just to experience people and things, and for no particular purpose. When he returned to town, he found people looking at them with a strange look and pointing a finger behind their back in private. But when he turned around, people looked away.

Although Amon has no experience of going out, he is not really stupid, to detect the magic has been quietly swept, he probably knows what people are talking about, can't help but laugh. At this time, he also realized that Yoon Nanna was no ordinary shepherd slave. He saw more people outside the mountains, including many women, who were not as soft and beautiful as Yoon Nanna.

When walking past the town pub, Yoon Nanna suddenly stopped walking: "Amon, are you tired? If you're tired, you can go in for a drink. ”

Amon suddenly remembered one thing, Mayor Dusty once said that the cheapest glass of wine outside the tavern was just a bronze coin, he would always doubt it, and he really wanted to see it, so he went to Yoon Nanna and said, “Don't know if I'll take a moment to go in for a drink? Why don't I take you home first? It'll be dark before you get out of town. ”

Yoon Nanna asked back: "Are you going to send me back? ”

Amon: “You still have a long way to go after dark. Of course I'm sending you back. I'm not in a hurry anyway, the town is here. ”

Yoon Nanna laughed: "Thank you! Drink or not, it will be dark anyway. There is still a long way to go after dark. Go inside and rest for a while. ”

Alcohol is a luxury, but it is not just a nobleman, and many civilians have the money to have a few drinks in the pub at their leisure, making it the most luxurious enjoyment of the week. During the years of war in the history of the Heavenly Pivot continent, certain countries had banned the consumption of alcohol by civilians because the production of alcohol consumed large quantities of food and needed to be controlled during difficult periods of material strain.

People get drunk and want to whine, say things they don't dare to say and do things they don't dare to do, so pubs are often one of the most chaotic places in a town. Amon walked into the tavern with Yoon Nanna and immediately heard a noise. But when they came in, a lot of people whispered, and obviously the subject of the discussion in the tavern was the two outsiders who came to town today.

Amon sat down at an empty table, and there was a boss and two guys, and the boss himself came over and said, "Young man, what would you like to drink? We have the best wine nearby. ”

Amon was very straightforward, and the first sentence was, "Is the cheapest wine you have here a cup of copper? ”

The boss froze and laughed: "Yes, a cup of copper. Would you like one?” Although he was laughing, his eyes were a little despicable. He had already heard about the outsiders' affairs in town. The young man was very generous to the girl, but he was very mean to himself, which is true at first glance.

How can a glass of wine be enough? Amon waved his hand: “Have a pot. ”

The boss greeted the man with a bottle of wine and two glasses, and Yoon Nanna naturally reached out to pick up the bottle and poured a glass of wine to Amon, but did not sit down and stood beside Amon with the bottle.

Few women come to the tavern to drink, most of them occasionally prostitutes from the town, and the brothel is another chaotic part of the town. This beautiful woman came to town and was brought into the tavern by Amon. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yoon Nanna, waiting to see her drink. This is more enjoyable than a small dish, but I didn't expect her to drink it.

Amon was about to say hello to Yoon Nanna. The owner of the tavern first asked: "Girl, why don't you sit down? Doesn't anybody want you to sit down? ”

Yoon Nana explained with a smile: "No, I'm a slave, I can't sit here drinking.... Amon, take your time and I'll pour you a drink. ”

So that's it! The whisper in the tavern suddenly grew louder, like a fly buzzing up. The girl, a slave brought by a young man from a foreign country, wore cheap clothes himself, but showed off her beauty in front of the crowd and bought her a dyed dress in violation of the rules.

If Amon is a noble adult, nobody cares about the moments on her beloved beauty slave costume. But it's a sin for Amon to wear grass shoes and coarse coats, drink the cheapest bad liquor in a tavern, and carry a beautiful slave.
