Pivot of the Sky

Depending on the situation, the highland giant tribe surrounded Princess Xiao Xi in this valley, guarded on both sides of the hill at the entrance to the valley, which should be heavily guarded. The guards on both sides of the mountain were not very tight, and Amon and Medanzo easily touched it, and they began to analyse the situation quietly.

Amon said something strange: "I found seven or eight giant archers on the beach near the valley entrance, but they were all asleep, so can we trap Princess Xiao Xi? ”

Medanzo frowned: “It's not surprising that people always have to rest. There must be someone at the valley. Once Princess Xiaoxi finds out she wants to break through, she sends a signal, blows a whistle or a trumpet or something. The guards naturally wake up. ”

Amon nodded: "Well, that should be it. It's not surprising that we can touch this place. After all, it's all over the Meereen Cliffs, but Princess Xiao Xi, in the middle of the open valley, they find movement and can't move lightly. ”

Medanzo also looked at the luminous light of the hidden campfire in the valley: “Now that you are familiar with the terrain and the distribution of the guards, when the clouds in the sky cover the light of the stars and moon and the darkness of the night, you can actually sneak over to inform them and let Princess Xiaoxi quietly leave our way. ”

Amon frowned: “It's not necessarily safe to do that. Diving in the dark is also likely to be discovered by detective magic. Down below the mountain is a vast expanse. How do you know that there are no magicians in the guards of the giant tribe? I think that Eucil is a magician today. ”

And Medanzo frowned, “The magician? Eighty-nine of his ten are magicians, right? Can a magician in a giant tribe compare to you? Your magic should be able to dive into hidden breath.... I was just thinking, knock out all the giant guards on this side of the mountain, sneak over and bring the princess here to take it away, that's a piece of Qigong! ”

Amon asked back: "Where we come from, is there a way to go? ”

Medanzo sighed: "Yeah, there's no way, it's a lot of jungle, mountain walls, cliffs, noble princesses can't tread. I was wondering if I could carry the princess out, but it was too risky, and if the wildlings chased from behind, they wouldn't be able to escape very quickly. ”

Amon asked, "Can you keep the princess safe from accidents while just carrying one person or maybe?" Can you take all the princess's escorts from here? If they can't, why would they give a princess to a man to carry? If that worked, the provocative guard would have carried the princess out of the mountain. ”

Medanzo chuckled and laughed: “I just thought about it, I really want to do my best. ”

Ammon pointed to the middle of the valley: “Our advantage is to understand the distribution of giant guards on this side of the ridge, hoping that Jacques and the others can get a clear picture of what's going on over there, and it will be much easier if we do it. Don't forget the plan we agreed to, we'll wait till noon tomorrow to see what happens, and if we don't do as we planned, we'll keep the others out of time. ”

Medanzo nodded: "You are right, my Amon God, at your command. … but can we think of a way to signal Princess Xiao Xi? Let them know the rescue is coming, and they'll be all right. ”

Amon thought, “That's fine, Princess Cecil. They should be able to get my signal.” Speaking, he lifted the Iron Branch Staff, pointing to the center of the valley, silent, and used all his divine powers in one direction, not even close to Medanzo felt it.

Although Amon is only a Level 5 magician and is not yet able to practise high-end magic, he has mastered and excelled in the art and is at the height of his skill, not to mention his magical staff. Although he did not know which level of theologian Yoon Nanna was, he did know that she was highly skilled in information theology. When she left with Gilgamesh, she disappeared far away and could still hear her voice in her ear, even Amon couldn't do that.

The bonfire in the middle of the valley is far from bright, and it took Amon's detection magic to reach its limits to get a rough picture of what was going on there. The guards beside Princess Xiao Xi set up a makeshift camp, using large stones and tree trunks as a wall close to two people high to resist crossbow attacks in all directions. There was a campfire in the wall and a samurai guard, and a tent was erected on one side. As for the situation in the tent, Amon could not be detected, and the distance was too far away, as if there were magic forces shielding the spy.

……

In the tent behind the camp wall, a man and a woman were talking, and a magic array was placed along the corner of the tent, isolating the voices inside and outside.

The person sitting next to her is Princess Xiao Xi, a man under the age of thirty. This guy should look handsome, but he looks a little uncomfortable. It may be inappropriate to describe a man by "witchcraft", but his skin is too white and too thin, his lips are very red, his eyes are thin and long, and he always has a slightly evil feeling.

In the middle of the conversation, the man suddenly looked up in one direction and seemed to have found something. Princess Xiaoxi asked, "What's the situation, Perry? ”

Paris closed his eyes and said, "Someone is signaling us with information magic, very far away, on the ridge over there. ”

Princess Xiao Xi was surprised: “Who is it and what signal is it sending? ”

PARIS: “I don't know who it is, and it's impossible to feel so far away. The other party is very careful and is able to converge the power of the divine art directly in this direction without disturbing the surrounding area. The power is not hostile, it is to inform us - he is here. ”

Princess Xiao Xi frowned: “Is it rescue? Is that a mistake? ”

Paris bowed: "My noble princess, don't you believe in Paris? ”

Princess Xiao Xi laughed again and said, "How could I not believe you, my dear magician? You have recently succeeded in advancing to the Seventh Great Magician, but I am the only one who knows. Why not publish it? Once the message is public, your status must be very different. ”

Paris also laughed: "To be of service to the princess is far more desirable than the accomplishments of a great magician, and you know my aspirations very well. Hiding strength around you for the time being may be more beneficial to our plot, after all, a great magician is too eye-catching. There are many great magicians in Wang Du, but only a princess like you. ”

Princess Xiao Xi stroked the back of the chair: “Perry, you are a wise man, and your future in the kingdom is unlimited if I can achieve my wishes in the future.... what was the situation just now, a magician came here to rescue us, who do you think it would be? ”

Perry's eyes narrowed: “Jacques is the person at Baron's Academy of Theology who has the most hope of successfully advancing to the seventh level of the great magician. He is Prince Feng Nyu's divine enlightenment mentor. The two of them were also friends. This time, he followed His Highness Feng Nyu through Arcade Town. He should be the one who sent the signal! ”

Princess Xiao Xi nodded with satisfaction: “You are such a magical reckoning, Paiklaus sent a letter. Prince Feng Nyu did come with Jackay and dive into this place bypassing the guards of the Giant Samurai.... you see, when will they have to do it? When we send the guards into the battlefield to induce them to commit the wrong attack, can we completely subdue them? ”

"Prince Vonneux is a passionate man who cares about his beautiful young aunt.... Rest assured, I know the situation of all five of them. If you really want to do it, you will be able to conquer them, not to mention the simple highland giants who have confused them.... soon there will be rumors in Wang Du, Prince Feng Nu while traveling with the princess, heavy gold bought the giant tribe of the plateau in an attempt to assassinate you, he mixed his hands. … and you, the noble princess, must show generosity and explain to him the excuse, so that everyone can be grateful and respectful. ”

Princess Xiao Xi smiled and said, “I will forgive him for his sins, even if they have not been committed. Although the youngest of all princes, Feng Nyu is the most threatening, smarter and more popular than his brothers. After this, I'm afraid his praiseworthy name will have to be questioned. … Jacques has signaled, we don't have to respond, just wait for the highland giants and them to do it. ”

The smile of Paris is somewhat mysterious: “Those crude giants are simple but trustworthy. They won't let us go until they arrive, and Lord Feng is fast! … According to Her Highness the Princess, when will the Giant Tribe be able to deliver what it wants? ”

Princess Xiao Xi replied confidently: “For at least ten days, if it's just money, it's okay, but the giant tribe wants such a large quantity of living goods, it's unlikely that a small town of Acad will be ready for delivery in three days. … it will take 10 days to report the materials to the city state organization and send a guard team to escort the horses. ”

PERI: “Eucil is an interesting highland giant, and he's already organized those tribes, ready to take anything and go, enough for them to build a new home in distant fertile soil. … you are truly deliberate in giving Eucharistic aristocracy and allowing him to study divinity, while his noble land is enclosed within the Kingdom of Hati! I'm afraid no one will think of it. ”

Princess Xiao Xi closed her smile and said softly: “It is now only the nominal territory of the Kingdom of Hati, and will soon become a place of four wars for all nations. The highland giants who can conquer good battles arrive early to establish their homestead, are guided by me. Eucil promised to lead the people to establish a temple for Marduk. I think the gods will be grateful, and the kingdom should be more grateful! With such a piece of chess, the Kingdom of Baron will take the initiative and I will be an important decision maker in the upcoming national disputes, which is only the first step in the plan. ”

If Amon in the distance could hear this conversation, what would be the shock? But the confident little princess Sydney and the great magician Perry also misjudged two things: first, the one who sent the signal was not Jacques, but Amon; and secondly, the material demanded by the giant tribe, prepared by Mayor Ditch in just one night and a half days, and delivered in another day!

……

Amon put away his staff and stood still for half a day, seemingly waiting for something. Medanzo asked confused, “Amon God, what are you doing? ”

Ammon replied: "I just sent a signal over there with the information magic, informing them that the rescue had arrived, but received no reply. ”

Medanzo exclaimed: “I am also a magician, I didn't even notice! ”

Amon revealed a childlike smile: “You are a little tender. This surgery is very difficult. Although it is not advanced divinity, the means are very smart. I have to rely on my staff to do it. ”

Medanzo admired the praise: “You are indeed brilliant and always amazing to me. But can they reply to you? Even if there are magicians there, I'm afraid they may not be any smarter than you. ”

Amon frowned: “Princess Xiao Xi is surrounded by a level 6 magician, even if his message magic is worse than mine, he can receive signals. Princess Xiaoxi herself, I know, she can also be divine, I don't know anything else, but information divinity is definitely smarter than me. Probably not sure who we are, I don't have that ability to speak directly in their ears. They don't respond, they may be afraid of exposing our position, so let's go somewhere else. ”

Amon lurked closer to the valley with Medanzo, not far from the archers of the giant tribes. If they are going to do it tomorrow at noon, they can first destroy the archers and cut out the biggest threat when they break through. Hopefully Jacques and others will do the same thing on the hill across the street, clicking on the mouth of Occupy Valley to cover Princess Xiaoxi's successful escape.

……

While Amon was quietly lurking in the mountains, the material count on the plateau continued, and the heads of the mighty giants were sweating. They can put a carriage against their shoulders, but are not very good at counting numbers and sorting supplies. Fortunately, Eucil is on the side checking the commands, otherwise they don't know what the mess looks like.

Mayor Dickie chatted with a mismatch next to him, and he was curious about Eucil, and asked, "Eucil, are you a plateau giant too? I don't look like you, but they listen to you. ”

Eucille looked a little embarrassed and didn't respond well: "Why are you asking me this question? I'm really a tribe here. I'm just a little shorter! Since I was a kid, I was laughed at, so I simply snuck down the mountain and learned magic before returning to my people.” Then the tone turned and said with pride: "Now the people worship me and elect me as the leader of the United Tribes, thinking that I am the smartest and most capable of the tribe! ”

Ditch hurried: “So that's it, disrespect, admiration!... Anyway, if you dare to kidnap even the princess of the kingdom, I offend you to ask again, are you a magician? ”

Eucher shook his round head and said: "No, you misunderstood, I am a second degree magician of the Eight Scriptures! With the blessing of the Temple, in the Lord's Temple of Marduk, King Baron, and my record of accepting the awakening ritual of power. ”

This time it was Dickie's turn to be surprised and say, “Really? You, you are a noble magician, this is incredible! ”

Eucher turned his head and glanced at the round eyes and said, "What's incredible? Mayor, if you don't believe me, you can go to the Lord's Temple of Marduk in Barron City and check their registration files to see if they have my name. ”

Ditch is only the mayor of a small town. He has no right to go to the main temple of Wangdu to check the texts. Eucher's words, whether true or false, can only be considered angry with him. Dickie answered with a calm face: "I mean the incredible thing you're doing right now! Why kidnap a princess of the kingdom if you are a noble magician and must have a noble lineage seal? It's betrayal! Even if you want to do something for the people, you can't do it this way. Are you stupid? It will only have disastrous consequences for these tribes. ”

Eucille straightened her chest: “Of course I have a reason, it's actually... I can't tell you anyway, it's a secret!” Speaking of which, he suddenly seemed to realize that he had already said too much, and would continue to talk, so he shut up. Whatever Mayor Dickie tries to say next, Eucil is always talking about something else, and he's not going to talk about it.

……

At dawn, Jacques and Yuleto and five others finally climbed the ridge on the other side of the valley, lurking in the dense forest for a little rest. Jackay's eyes were slightly tired and he sat quietly there without a word. Looking at the other people's appearance is somewhat wondrous, with branches and small mouths drawn from mountain stones on their clothes. Especially Jacques' student Elliot, who not only broke his pants and twisted his leg, but also added a wound to his leg. Fortunately, he was not hindered by the timely use of magic therapy.

All of them are noble lords of honor in Wangdu. For the first time, they have crossed the dangerous mountains and mountains in the night, far less admirable than Amon and Medanzo, who have long been used to doing so.

After taking a short break to regain energy and strength, Yuleto said to Jacques, oddly enough, "The guards here are not tight, no Titan warriors have been found nearby. ”

Jacques pointed to the surrounding terrain: “With such a vast area of deep mountain wilderness, no giant tribe can protect every place. There is no other way out of here without familiarizing itself with the terrain.... hide it and don't move. I'll check around. It's almost dawn. Please be careful! ”

Jacques searched quietly along the ridge with his scepter, almost opposite it, on a beach near the mouth of the valley, guarding the archers of about a dozen wildling tribes. Jacques did not dare to get too close and quietly returned, discussing it with Yolando and others for half a day, reaching a conclusion similar to that of Amon and Medanzo.

It was already dawn and it was unlikely that Jackay would make the same decision as Amon. He moved quietly to a position near the valley entrance, not far from the giant warriors, and waited quietly for noon to arrive.
