Pivot of the Sky

Princess Xiao Xi made a gesture and the samurai put down the sliding rod. She refused to take it down and said to Eucher and others: “If it was just me, I could forgive you, but your actions cannot be indulged and you must be severely punished. This Prince thinks that you live in mountains that are barbaric and not under indoctrination. He wants to give you a chance to change your mind. It is also a punishment. If you wish to accept it, I can destroy you without sending a large army. ”

Eucher knelt down and replied: "We sincerely regret our sincere willingness to accept the punishment and reminder of Her Highness the Princess! ”

Princess Xiao Xi stood there with an indescribable majesty, slowly saying: "In order to preserve the dignity of the royal decree, expel you from the state of Kish, leave the villages where you live, burn down houses and tribes, and never commit the same crimes again."

This article is harsh enough, but it cannot be refused. The giant tribe itself will not do it, and the army of the city state will do the same. Yussir replied with great pleasure: "All the tribes here will burn the villages in the mountains and gather the people to move far away. ”

The princess nodded with satisfaction, pressing her chest with one hand, pointing to the cloud and saying: "In the name of the Great God of Marduk, you and your people shall obey the indoctrination of the Kingdom of Baron, offering sacrifices to the Spirit and serving the Kingdom. Wherever you migrate, build villages where you are stationed, but also build the Temple of Marduk and receive the guidance of the gods. ”

When you hear this, everyone next to you stands still, building a temple to sacrifice to the Great God of Marduk, which nobody can refute. But doing so involves a very real problem in the secular world, where, regardless of the degree of construction, the temple requires official approval and the appointment of priests, and where the clergy of the temple is also one of the local administrators with the status of nobility of the kingdom.

Prince Feng Nyu was just about to intervene, and Mayor Diqi whispered to him a few words, and the prince nodded and did not make any more noise. Eucil had told Ditch that he was a second-degree magician and had a record in the main temple of Marduk in Barron City, which seemed to be true. If so, it also meets the conditions stated by Princess Xiao Xi. It is only unreasonable for the Kingdom to appoint such a procedure. Can the princess be rewarded for kidnapping her?

Princess Xiao Xi seemed to be clear about the confusion of Prince Feng Nyu and others, and went on to say: "The establishment of a formal temple and the appointment of clerics require the approval of the Kingdom, which is a prize for you. But don't get me wrong, I have a difficult and dangerous mission to entrust to you, and if I can accomplish it, I can not only ransom the sins, but also get rewards from the kingdom. ”

Eucil raised his head and said, "What is the task for Her Highness the Princess? Since my people and I have confessed, we sincerely accept punishment and serve you and your kingdom! ”

Princess Xiao Xi walked straight past and reached out to separate the samurai trying to guard her in front of her. Her bravery is truly admirable! She walked up to Eucil and took a roll of cloth wrapped in her arms and handed it to him: "The tough task is to punish you. It's all written on it, and the forgiveness and reward for completing the task is here. Take it!... before sunrise tomorrow, take the people to burn down the village and move far away, no one is allowed to stay! ”

Eucille respectfully raised her hands over her head and took the scroll. Standing back on her knees, she bowed her head: "Yes! ”

He took the giants away, and they stared at each other. Everyone knows that as soon as the princess returns to the city, there will inevitably be an army to destroy these giant tribes. However, their escape on their own is not the same as accepting the princess's punishment. The princess ordered them to burn the village before sunrise tomorrow, and the city's army could not have arrived so soon.

This is the majesty of Princess Xiao Xi. She is besieged by the giant tribe, but with tremendous courage and charm, these barbarians obey the king and volunteer to be punished. How admirable and admirable this work is. I don't know who was the first to start cheering, and then the cheering went off, and people praised the princess.

The look on Perry's face was satisfying. It was a play, and although it wasn't performed exactly as planned, the last scene was a success. Nobody knew exactly what task Princess Xiaoxi had entrusted to the giant tribe, but on such occasions it was difficult to ask, and the crowd crowded Princess back to Acad Town.

Princess Xiao Xi and Prince Feng Nyu are riding in the small town, and the town's samurai have become the heroes of the kingdom. This is an unprecedented honor for Acad Town in centuries, and this day is destined to be a grand festival! Spontaneous carnival, exciting cheers and praises can be heard in every corner of town.

More than half of the town's living materials are collected overnight. Failure to replenish them as soon as possible affects the population for the winter, and those agricultural tools and livestock must be fully compensated before spring begins, otherwise it will affect farming in the coming year. Princess Xiao Xi generously stated that all of this would be borne by her, and immediately sent an envoy with the list to Kish City State for procurement, doubling it to the residents of Aqad town.

Giant tribes want a lot of things, but they are not precious. Together, they are worth dozens of magic stones. If you are in a big city state, you can buy them soon. Beyond that, Princess Xiao Xi also provided the list of all the warriors who participated in the rescue to Kish City State to order the award, Mayor Dickie Zhou Jin Duke Level 2!

Ditch - Zhou is still a mayor, but his status can already be compared to that of a governor in the proposed city state, which, in addition to being the owner of the city, also has institutions such as the Treasury, Archives, Justice, Agriculture and Herding Department, which are called Treasury Officers, Registrars, Magistrates, Property Officers, etc., while the deputy directors of each department are at the level of Ditch - Zhou.

This is just the beginning, appreciated and cultivated by Her Royal Highness, and Mayor Ditch has a bright future.

There are several heroes in the rescue team who need special accolades, namely Mayor Ditch's temporarily recruited warrior, not Feng News and his entourage, which is the royal family's own business, but Medanzo and Amon must be thanked again.

Dickie - Zhou cleaned his house, let Princess Xiao Xi stay, and let the main priest of the town empty his courtyard, please ask Prince Feng Nyu to stay. The place where Princess Xiao Xi met and honored the two warriors was in the town's temple, the hallway where the Mu Yun Goddess was embossed.

They were called in alone to receive a cordial meeting with Her Royal Highness, first of all Amon. After the salute, the princess gave her a seat and looked at him with a smile. “This warrior, your name is Amon, right? Where you come from, the kingdom needs people like you, and I want to thank you for being such a hero. ”

Sitting in front of Princess Xiao Xi, standing beside the princess was the magician Pei Li, behind which was the embroidery of Goddess Mu Yun, Amon felt like he was being crossed by various eyes, a little uncomfortable. “I'm a hunter from the deep mountains," he replied, "and I practice my physics to catch prey and get used to crossing the mountains. In response to the recruitment of Mayor Ditch to rescue Her Highness, the majesty of the Princess has persuaded the giant tribe and I am ashamed that I did not do much. ”

Princess Xiao Xi waved: “Don't say that, without the guards of all the warriors, I will not return in peace. Please ask what kind of reward you would like to receive, as long as it is within my competence, I will definitely give it to you. ”

Perry placed two plates in front of Amon, one with two divine stones and the other with forty gold coins. He said lightly: "These are not princess rewards, they are just the thanks of the city state. I don't know if it's easier for you to take one of these plates with the magic stone or with the gold coin. ”

Amon was welcome, and he said thank you for reaching out and taking 40 gold coins. Perry's gaze was a little confusing, but he didn't say anything. Princess Xiao Xi looked at him with a smile and asked kindly, "My warrior Amon, you haven't said you want much reward. ”

Amon shook his head: “I accept the mayor's recruitment on a voluntary basis and do not need an extra reward from the princess. ”

Princess Xiao Xi shook her head and said, "No, you must accept it! ”

"Amon, what if you don't accept the princess's gratitude and ask the other warriors? If the princess does not thank the warriors who rescued her, you must accept what you want the people of the kingdom to say about the princess's reputation. ”

Princess Xiao Xi smiled: "Perry, you don't have to be so harsh. Amon is just a hunter in the mountains and doesn't understand a lot of things.” And he said to Ammon with pleasure, “My warrior, I sincerely want to thank you, please tell me what you want most in your heart? ”

Amon looked up into her eyes and said, "Beautiful princess, thank you for your generosity, I can tell you if you must answer. … I went to Wangdu not long ago and saw your fiancé Gilgamesh enter the city with a gift to give you three Humbaba snake bars and twelve long teeth, which are said to be the best weapons of the warriors. If one day I can do more for you, hoping to get a snake stick and a snake tooth. ”

Perry's face turned angry, and this clay samurai demanded too much! He scolded, "It's a gift from the princess's fiancé. How can you ask for it? ”

Amon quickly explained: "I am not asking Her Highness to give me this now, but to ask the Princess to respond to this request when one day I will be able to do more for her. Now that the princess has asked, that's what I think, and I don't want anything else. ”

Princess Xiao Xi looked at Amon for a moment and finally waved her hand and smiled: “Perry, you don't have to be angry. He's telling the truth. … Amon, I agree to your request that one day I will send you a snake stick and a long tooth from Humbaba and explain what happened to Gilgamesh when you can be thankful for what you did.... OK, you back off and let Medanzo in. ”

Amon was about to bow and bow, and Princess Xiao Xi suddenly called him again: "Amon, I hear you are a level 5 samurai, unfortunately I didn't see you do anything, can you show me?” Speaking, Paris has handed over a short knife, a common meat knife that cuts meat.

It is rude to engage in unauthorized weaponry in front of the princess. If not allowed, it is also an offense. Amon took the knife and retreated to the door, gently waving it to the side. A faint light was emitted on the knife, and the air burst into the void. Then he quickly put the knife away and carefully put it back on the table.

Perry nodded with satisfaction: "It is definitely Grade 5 physical surgery, thank you, you can back off. ”

After Amon left, Perry said with some doubt: “It seems that he is not the magician. It is impossible to practice physics and magic at the same level. Even after a second awakening of power, he can only learn some ancillary low-order magic. The man who signaled in the mountains that night, the man who used information theology so brilliant, at least a level six magician, could it be Medanzo? ”

Princess Xiao Xi laughed: “Amon really doesn't look like him. Didn't you already try it? He took the gold coin instead of the Divine Stone. It's not the habit of a magician.... This man is so funny. He dared to look me in the eye when he spoke, but didn't feel unnatural at all. He asked for something like that in peace and quiet. The tone was like a god. ”

Pelli sneered: "I don't know much about the country buns, I dare say anything, the princess doesn't have to be angry with him. ”

"'I'm not angry,' said Princess Xiaoxi Guan. 'I just thought this guy was funny. ”

When Medanzo came in, Princess Xiaoxi simply asked him to show the skill of a Class 4 warrior first. Medanzo picked up the knife and scored it several times before returning it to Paris. When the gold coins and the Divine Stone came up, Medanzo picked up the Divine Stone without thinking about it, because it was easier to carry.

When Princess Xiao Xi asked him what he wanted most, Medanzo thought for half a day and left his seat to kneel down and pray: “I am a resident of Barron City without concealment, my great-grandfather was a Grade 6 magician in the Temple of Marduk, but my family lost its glory over the long years. My generation has lost not only its territory and hereditary seal, but also its aristocracy. Ancestors' wishes, hope that future generations will find the glory of the family home, please point out the princess, what should I do? ”

Princess Xiaoxi looked at Medanzo and laughed happily: "I am not in power, but as a princess of the kingdom, I can give you the status of nobility. You have made such a merit, as long as I return to the king to say hello. From this day on, you are Lord Medanzo, exempt from taxes on the civilian population, but you will need me to return to Wangdu to officially obtain the books. As for the ancestral seals and territories of your ancestors, it's not that simple to restore them, unless you can make a real tribute to the kingdom in the future. ”

Medanzo said with gratitude: "Yes, I understand that as long as the princess can restore my aristocracy, it will be enough, and everything that lies ahead will be up to me. ”

Princess Xiao Xi asked: "You can follow my convoy back to Barren City, or you can go directly to the Archives Administrator with the paperwork I signed. I won't be in this town for long and will be leaving the state of Kish the day after tomorrow. Brave samurai, will you escort me all the way to Wangdu? You are a witness to the events here, and I want to take you back to Wangdu. ”

Metanzo replied: "I am willing to follow the princess back to Wang Du, but I have made an appointment with a friend to go far away. I happened to pass through Arcade town, and I need the permission of my friend to leave without permission, otherwise I will not keep my promise. ”

Princess Xiaoxi blinked: "Oh, does your friend mean Amon? Then you can talk to him, just say it's me. I leave the day after tomorrow, and you decide to follow. ”

When Medanzo got up and was about to leave, Princess Xiao Xi called him back and asked him, "My lord, how did you and Amon meet and become friends? He claims to be a hunter in the mountains. How did he meet you? ”

Medanzo replied with some embarrassment, but caution: "I was not afraid of princess jokes, I used to travel to the deep mountains of the valley, trading supplies with the dwarf tribes who were good at smelting, making some money to keep my home, Amon I knew in the mountains. ”

Paris asked with interest, "Is Amon a dwarf too? ”

"He wasn't," replied Medanzo. "I was threatened with death by a beast in the mountains. He just walked past me and saved me. That's how we met. ”

Princess Xiaoxi's eyes lit up and stood up: "My lord, if you have a good relationship with those dwarf tribes, I have a glorious task to entrust you with the opportunity to restore your family lineage seal and noble lands in the future. ”

Medanzo looked up very excitedly and said, "It's a pretty good relationship. I'm with a big Dwarf tribe chief. What glorious task does the princess want to give me? ”

Princess Xiaoxi was not anxious to say anything. “When you return to Wangdu, you can come directly to me and report your name. It would be better if you followed me back. … you can step back and arrange your own business first. ”

After Medanzo went out, Perry frowned: “It seems that he is not the magician, he is indeed a true level four warrior. Then there are those who spy on us in secret. Be careful what you do. It is wise to return to the King immediately. Your plot is beneficial to the kingdom, not afraid to be known by the king, but not by your political enemies until the plan is implemented. ”

Princess Xiao Xi nodded softly: "It is possible that the king sent to protect my court magician secretly. It is both protection and supervision. Be careful during this time to see if we can find this person, we pretend not to know for the moment. ”

"Do you want to use this Medanzo for the Dwarf tribe, too, when you send Eucil to lead the Titans of the Plateau to plan? We've just met this person, and we can't be sure if it's reliable. ”

Princess Xiaoxi laughed: "So I wasn't in a hurry to say anything. I watched him first, caged him, and cultivated him into our own people. Wang Du, an unidentified nobleman, wanted to investigate his origins very simply. If what he said was true, restore his aristocratic identity and give him a chance to regain the seal of territory and descent, he would surely be able to use it for us. ”
