Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 49: 044, Everyone Has Their Secret
Why is Amon dressed like this? He doesn't reveal himself as a magician, because he is a magician who can't see the light! The owner of the boat asked, everyone was curious. Amon had to explain with his face on his face: “I have a mission and it concerns the secrets of the gods. That's why I hide my identity. Please don't ask again, and don't preach it to anyone! ”
Oh, it turns out he was a magician on a secret mission. He didn't want to reveal his identity, but he had to do it because of the monster! Amon commanded that no one should be questioned or preached. He had just demonstrated that powerful magic had saved everyone's life. Even if everyone was in doubt, it could only be Weino who dared not say anything more, but some people were still very confused.
A noble magician can make up a nobleman, an ordinary official or a wealthy businessman even if he wants to change his costume. It doesn't attract attention. How could Amon be a cheap civilian costume? This doesn't seem right! Some people even flashed a little doubt, could he be a magician? But it's just a flickering thought, and no one dares to be sure, let alone to say that suspicion.
At this time, YOON Nanna walked to the bow of the boat and held Amon's arm in a delicate voice: “In order to carry out the secret mission of the kingdom, our noble magician, dressed in disguise, did not hesitate to surrender himself to wear a rough linen coat. … his mission is so important that he can never reveal his identity and should have killed all of you! … but since the benevolent sorcerer has saved you, he does not want to do so. If anyone reveals his identity, he will surely be severely punished by the kingdom! ”
The words scared everyone, and everyone saw Yoon Nanna's face. She was such a beautiful girl, she should be the most adorable maid of the magician, and the costume traveler was with her. People shut up like cicadas, and no one dares say anything more.
Yoon Nanna looked at the bow again and suddenly her face changed. She cried to Amon Jiaodi: “Lamb, where's my lamb? It's gone. It must have fallen into the river! I wanted to take good care of it and not let it suffer again.... Amon, I'm so sad...”
Yoon Nanna said she cried when she cried. Her voice was so pleasant, but her face was so pathetic. No one could help herself but want to tear with her. A businessman hurried to the bow of the boat and saluted Ammon: "Great magician, you saved everyone's life and saved all my cargo. If you lost something, you should let us all make it up to you, let me make it up to her! ”
The businessman brought the most cargo across the river, and the two samurai were also his hired bodyguards. He thanked Amon for saving his life and not damaging the precious cargo he carried on the ferry. He wanted to take this opportunity to repay Amon. It would also be beneficial if he could meet a distinguished magician.
Ammon now carries out a "secret mission”, but will always return to the city or temple in the future. He was impressed not only by a sheep, but also by a large sum of money that he wanted to compensate, taking advantage of the opportunity he had before him to climb into a relationship and possibly do better business in the city of Ammon.
Amon looked very young, I'm afraid he was only about twenty years old, had mastered such a powerful divine power, and was absolutely extraordinary. He threw three precious scrolls out of his hand, without even blinking his eyelids. This businessman is not like those who don't know him, and there is no doubt that Amon may be a magician.
Some people may become magicians without the permission of the temple, but how could such a person possess so many precious artefacts and not hesitate to use them? Only with a vast temple of resources behind it can such a magnificent young magician be nurtured. Amon's identity must be quite noble and promising! - Very positive judgment by the businessman.
The merchant spoke, and the servant next to him had passed the sheepskin purse and looked at the amount of gold in his hand. Amon asked with some surprise, "I lost my lamb because there was a monster in the river, why should I let you make it up to me? ”
The merchant humbly replied: "If it were not for you, the whole ship would have sunk at the bottom of the river, and my life and the lives of everyone would have ceased to exist, and the goods and money would no longer belong to me. … Your courage and strength have saved everyone and you should be thankful and do not refuse. ”
The boat owner also persuaded: "Dear Mage, you should accept our gratitude or we will be disturbed.” As he spoke, his heart was still pounding, and Yoon Nanna's words frightened him.
The owner of the boat was knowledgeable and guessed that Amon's identity must be very honorable. He used three scrolls to fight monsters at a cost that exceeded the average man's imagination. If you don't thank him well, don't worry about annoying Amon. If someone comes ashore and leaves, the owner of the boat who can't escape will have bad luck.
In that case, Amon didn't want to reject the good intentions, and looked at the merchant and nodded: "Well, thank you, I bought the lamb for two silver coins. If you want to make up for my loss, just give me two silver coins. ”
Those words stunned the whole ship. Two silver coins were not worth mentioning to a noble magician. Amon should either accept a generous gift from a businessman or simply refuse to show generosity. On the other hand, in the view of ordinary people, two silver coins are expensive enough to buy a lamb. The distinguished magician is blackmailing the rich merchant for a lamb. It's amazing!
Apart from Yoon Nanna, nobody knows that Amon is telling the truth. Not everyone in the cabin saw that Amon had just used the scroll, and even if someone saw it, they didn't know what was going on, and even really suspected that Amon was a magician. And there are also people who have an eye for experience, who know how precious the scroll Amon uses.
Yoon Nanna dripped to Ammon's ear: “Master Magician, we have lost more than one lamb, and you have spent three precious scrolls to kill that monster.” This sounds like a whisper and a loud voice, but it can only be heard by the whole boat.
Someone said, "Lescott Lee, the wealthy merchant of Uruk City, why don't you compensate the noble Master Magician for only one lamb and those three scrolls? ”
Others said, "Boat owner, you are a rich man, the magician keeps your ferry, and you should compensate for those precious scrolls. ”
Whatever your thoughts may be, everyone wants to thank Amon, but only because of this offense to the magician in disguise, what kind of trouble is there? Anyway, there are merchants and boat owners to pay for it, so why not be generous?
As soon as the boat owner heard this sweat, he couldn't help but throw the nonsense into the river. Businessman Nescott? Li was also secretly screaming bitterness. He wanted to take this opportunity to pay a heavy debt of gratitude to the young and noble magician, but he sold the goods he carried together with the boat owner. I'm afraid he can't afford to pay for his scroll.
Theological scrolls are not common commodities, they cannot be bought by ordinary people, and can only be used by magicians. But as long as it's useful, it's worth it, and in Wangdu's seminary or the shrine of the Great City State, noble and wealthy aristocrats can “ask for a gift” from a scroll maker, or pay someone to make it. No matter how you get it, the price is high.
Amon shook his hand: “I also saved my own life by using the scroll. I don't need anyone else to compensate me for anything. Thank you for your kindness. If you really want to repay me, don't obstruct me from completing my task. When you get off the boat, don't reveal my disguise, that's it! ”
The boat owner quietly wiped the sweat off. The merchant was also relieved and thankful to say: “My name is Rainescot-Lee, I am a merchant and distinguished magician of Uruk City, and if you have the opportunity to pass through Uruk City after completing your mission, I will certainly do my best to entertain you.” This was utterly sincere, and Amon had no intention of having the people on board compensate for the scroll. As for the lamb, two silver coins, in the merchant's view, were merely due to the dignity of the owner's identity.
Amon smiled and nodded. “Okay, I remember!” This continent is so unfamiliar to him, it is good to know one more person, besides Medanzo and YOON Nanna, whose identity is mysterious, he doesn't know anyone else, and he has a good impression of the businessman.
When the ferry arrived on the other shore, everyone thanked Amon for bowing down to salute him. Amon stood at the bow of the boat with Yoon Nanna smiling and nodding. They were the last to disembark. There is also a catchment town not far from the ferry on the other side, and everyone on the boat did not disclose his identity at Amon's behest, at least nobody in this town has spoken out, because the magician has not left yet.
Someone on the other side of the river saw the shocking struggle in the river and asked what happened to the people on the boat. Everyone had to squeak and say that the monster appeared during the day, but was slaughtered by a magician on board. But the magician had a secret assignment and left quietly when he got off the boat, not wanting to show his head. Although Amon did not reveal his identity, the matter could not be concealed and the news had slipped away.
After Amon disembarked, he first went to the market to find a carriage so that Yin Nanna could take it. It was a long way from Wang Du, and he could not let a girl walk a thousand miles. I ran into Lescott-Lee at the market, and he commanded a group of guys to load the cargo off the boat onto several carriages, and he saw Amon come looking for the carriage, and he said, “Sir, take my carriage and give it to you, it's my best car and horse. ”
Amon shook his head: “I'm just walking a long way, you don't have to give me such a good ride. ”
The decorations on the Lescott-Lee carriage are obviously for the civilian population, and although comfortable and luxurious, they are probably no better than the carriage of a noble magician. He heard Amon say, "There's no better carriage in this town, so take this one for now, even if it's for you, whenever you need it. If you can think of me in the future, you can send someone back a carriage. ”
Lescott-Lee is a good idea, and he might be able to find out who Ammon is in the carriage. Amon thought, “Well, thank you. I'll pay you back the car and the horse!” He will go to Medanzo at the first stop, but sooner or later he will return Nero's staff to Cape Town State in Ecu, and he will pass by this place and return the horse.
When Amon got off the ferry, he made a decision, and the second thing to do on the continent was to complete Nero's will. Although Nero was one of the great magicians who hunted Bell, the execution of the ordinance of the Divine Oracle and Kingdom was not a personal vendetta, knowing that he would die, but ordered him to go without hesitation or even admiration.
It was Nero's scroll that saved Amon's life today. The businessman knew how to repay Amon, and Amon himself should repay Nero by sending his staff and ring to the Temple of Cape Sea as he wished.
He didn't stop much in town. He drove Yoon Nanna out of the ferry without taking the official official official route, but into a trail in the wilderness. This part of the eastern bank of the River Junior is the territory of Uruk City State, with its expansive wilderness, grasslands, farms and low hilly forests, which are much more fertile and prosperous than the land around the town of Tuduk.
It took Amon half a day to barely control the reins to move the horse forward along the path of the field station. He even used the power of aerobatic magic to control the horse, which was always steered by a gust of wind.
Yoon Nanna opened the curtains and smiled. “Amon, my brave hero, handsome hunter and noble magician, you don't really know how to catch a carriage, do you? Why did you use magic instead of whips? A well-trained horse knows which direction to run as long as he hears the whip... There is a whip in the car, I advise you to change the rope that the shepherd from Summer Town gave you. ”
When buying sheep outside Sumerian town, the shepherd gave Amon a whip rope and kept it in his pocket, which he didn't really care about. At this moment, listening to Yoon Nanna's reminder, he pulled out the whip rope and was surprised. Then he pulled out a bunch of things from his skin pocket, which was the snake clamp that was caught in the river.
This whip rope is so similar to the snake muscle of a weird snake, it's not just like that, it should be the same material!
But there's also a difference between the whip rope and the serpentine, and it's not shrunk together, it's just unfolding like a rope, and it seems to have undergone some kind of special processing. Although Amon possesses theoretical knowledge of making various artefacts, it is not clear for a while what method was used to process the serpentine muscle into a whip rope, after all, he has not really used any artefacts to make them.
The monster snake's horrible Amon was taught personally. A shepherd made a whip rope out of snake muscle and gave it to Amon at will. Then his identity is absolutely unusual and mysterious. Since Yoon Nanna reminded Amon, obviously she knew, so she took Amon out of town to buy sheep, there should be other intentions!
Yoon Nanna once said that her identity was mysterious and noble and that her name could not be easily mentioned, and now it seems that what happened to her is even more difficult. Amon switched the rope on and gently whipped forward. The two horses in front of the car ran forward in light footsteps. No more control was needed. It seemed so easy to steer the carriage.
The landscape of the vast fields is beautiful and the horses are joyful, yet Amonmo has a sense of cold in the back of his neck. Seeing this whip, he realized that he seemed to have been exploited. Out of the mountains, Yoonanna, the shepherd of Sumerian town, and the monster that suddenly appeared in the river, all connected as if they were arranged by someone.
What happened to Yoon Nanna would never be as simple as she herself had said, and it was no coincidence that she met Amon. No wonder Schrödinger reminded him that way!
Amon drove the wagon to the field trail. In addition to trying to avoid the people on the boat, he also wanted to ask Yoon Nanna alone, but he didn't dare to speak at this moment. What exactly is this mysterious and beautiful woman doing to him? Yoon Nanna sat in the car tent behind her, and Amon's back was a little stiff. He asked later: "Yoon Nanna, we are not on the road to King Barron. Do you know this road, can we go wrong? ”
Yoon Nanna stretched out a hand and gently sat on his shoulder: "At your feet is the road, and I am your guide. Despite going forward, this road can bypass Uruk City State along the eastern bank of the River Junior, returning to the Avenue to continue towards Barren City.... I lost my little lamb across the river, but I still have you - my handsome Amon! Why are you a little nervous? You must have something to ask me. Why don't you ask? ”
After crossing the river, Yoon Nanna said to remind Amona of the strangeness of the whip rope, which is a hint. She knew that Amon would react to something and must be full of questions, smiling and letting him speak up.
Her hands were weak and boneless and she should feel comfortable on her shoulders, but Amon was a little scared, even more nervous than facing the snake in the river. But then he thought about it, and Yoon Nanna didn't mean anything to herself, so he asked naturally: “Yoon Nanna, how did you know I was wearing a scroll? ”
He wanted to ask when he was on the boat, but he couldn't speak in front of the crowd. Fortunately, thanks to Yoon Nanna's reminder, Amon remembered to take out the scroll to kill the snake and save his own life. But he never opened his pocket for Yoon Nanna to see, nor revealed his secrets of magic. How did Yoon Nanna know that there was a scroll hidden in his pocket?
Yoon Nanna rubbed Amon's shoulder gently with her hands. It seemed like an unintentional tease: "You didn't tell me that you could do magic. It's your secret. We all have our own secrets, right?... you did some magic on the ship to kill monsters, and I also know that you carry many precious stones, and it's normal to have a scroll to protect you, right?... you told everyone you had a secret mission you couldn't reveal, and I'm still with you, you're not going to kill me, are you? ”
