Yesterday Amon heard Inanna and Gilgamesh and the others Yin talks, indistinct also relationship to Spiritual God secret. Marduk and relationship of Enlil two Spiritual God as if are not very good, but Hong anxiously is guarding a gate in Enlil god territory, it hopes that establishes oneself Temple in Uruk City State, can have the god territory, but was rejected by Gilgamesh. What „god territory” is, is various Kingdom is the Spiritual God establishes the Temple domain? Amon was still not clear the outcome.
Hong Baba accepts along the river offering sacrifices of resident, his descendants cannot come out to attack the person in the daytime, this probably is also the agreements of god. Yesterday obviously Python had violated the agreement, although it had been cut to kill by Amon, but Gilgamesh seized this opportunity not to let off, bringing enkidu to eliminate Hong Baba.
This point Amon has guessed right actually, Gilgamesh and other opportunities waited to be very long, since he became Uruk City Lord that day gets up wants to kill Hong Baba.
Like Babylon Kingdom Xuya City State, Uruk City State also produces the precious snow pine . Moreover the output is very big. Xuya City State's snow pine must cut in the high mountain ridge, the price of then transporting is very big. But the Uruk City State's condition is much better, logging artisan only need fell the trees on riverside high mountain, then grips the wooden raft to put in the Youdi River III classes to flutter, is embraced to tow the shore in the downstream current of water gentle place from the special ship again.
The snow pine is not only a precious lumber, is the material of manufacture combat tank as well as warship, is very important economy and strategic resources, is one of the Uruk City State's main products. But in the river has Hong Baba and his descendants occupies, every year must offer sacrifices cattle in groups to them in the navigation of daytime security, but at night has slightly possibly is buried in the snake kiss not. Gilgamesh as City Lord, already wants to eradicate this disaster.
Unknowingly using Detection Magic Technique for a long time, the wrestle sound of that distant place has ceased finally, Amon then recovers, day already dawn. Although he „rest” a night, but felt that was more tired than yesterday, always one intermittent dizzy somewhat cannot even come to a stop, was not only because felt from bucket that shock impact beyond description, but also a night excessively used the Magic Technique strength reason consecutively for one day.
Amon is first time encounters this situation, almost suspected that oneself has fallen ill, it seems like or lacks uses the experience of Magic Technique, last night used the limit that the consumption of Detection Magic Technique surpassed has been able to withstand, was actually unknowingly slowly occurred, when has returned to the appearance, he became very weak. Any Mage encounters this situation, needs to rest for a long time can restore very much, is Amon simultaneously has the Middle Level Warrior physical strength, has not lain down at the scene.
Amon hits Spiritual to drive carriage to continue to start off, is really the misfortune never singly comes, he discovered that two horses also without saying a word cannot hit Spiritual to come, nose proclaimed shouts the white clouds to be very tired very exhausted appearance, ran not quickly, the half-way also had diarrhea. horse was a pampered animal, Amon drove a cart is too ruthless, trades the prestige common horse estimate of yesterday running on the road, these two steeds could not bear.
They are the artificial t Si Yang steeds, yesterday had not actually eaten the dry fodder, but has drunk a spring water, in the morning ate was bringing the azure leave of grass of dewdrop, ran crazily one day later also had the weak symptom. Has become with horse this appearance, Amon clear oneself cannot in this case continue to hurry along, must find a place to recuperate, otherwise the words situation of bitter experience accident will be very dangerous.
Luckily here leaves the Uruk city to be very far, the place is also very remote, he wants to look for a household of peasant family to enough money, stays for temporary lodging for several days to recuperate to restore well, well feeds the oneself horse, is in luck to take enough fodder again.
He is really also in luck, has not arrived sees the small at the foot of the hill of distant place to have a village at noon, the house is very very pretty, the left is the continuous farmland, on the right hillside is putting cattle in groups. The alley is leading to this village, Amon wields the whip, two horse turns round pulling a cart slowly to drive to the village, arrives at Fang Hanqian the flat land across the stockade.
The carriage entered village, the person in houses had been alarmed, several people go out of the house to come to see the sound. Amon stopped is preparing to explain the purpose in coming, the discovery forefront two have actually knelt to salute saying: „Honored Sir, how before you will arrive at our main house gates?”
Fixed the eyes on looks is really Ij, two men who that knelt down Guardian Amon's two Warrior on ferryboat, Lescaut. Li in bodyguard who on the road hires. They did not have the saber only to make the appearance of farmer at this moment, but the attire is very clean, on neckband and sleeve cuff also has the simple embroidery decoration. Following should be servant of their family member and village, saw these two men to kneel down, followed is kneeling salutes.
This wilderness looks not to have other place, only then a at the foot of the hill such village, since met Amon to hide also without enough time, must put down the whip to go down the carriage saying: „So to be how skillful? Here has run into you. My horse got sick, needs to rest to feed the grass well, I long-distance hurry along somewhat to be also exhausted, wants to find a place to stay overnight in somebody's home for several days, will pay to your enough rewards.”
That two men said with one voice: „Honored Sir, your carriage stops before the gate, is our being honored! Discussed that what reward is intimate? Was you have rescued our life, we should repay well, please come in quickly, your horse will also obtain the best care.”
Amon lived in two brothers' villages, he only wants to stay overnight in somebody's home for 1-2 days, unexpectedly excessive drain magic power fully had not restored, the body feels throughout ill, unexpectedly first successive several days. Two brothers' extreme respectful to Amon reception, making him live in the best room, eats with using is in the family|home is also best.
These two brothers elder brothers called this hidden, the younger brother's name was Abe, lived in a very big farmhouse, shared a main hall, but the room has been divided into about two parts, had the respective staircase, Amon lives in the building of younger brother Abe family|home.
These two brothers unexpectedly are also noble, but the family circumstances already went down in the world, the territory of family now only pasture outside remaining this village as well as a village. As a result of the village and pasture close neighbor in the same place, after two brothers divided family property, lives in one. The farmland has apportioned the elder brother this hidden, the pasture has apportioned younger brother Abe. When their fathers just before the end told that two brothers must live together in peace and harmony and help mutually.
Has servant to help to look after the farmland and breeds the cattle, two brothers occasionally also will work to the paddies and pasture in personally. More often they like going out for a walk, are looking for various opportunities, for example can be Kingdom works to restore ancestor's title glory, making the family promote.
Although two brothers' family circumstances were ruined, but had the opportunity to study Physique Technique in childhood, now is Second Level Warrior. They do not need to worry about food or clothing are not however wealthy, but goes far must spend a lot of money, these time accompanies in the homeward journey that goes out, the money of two brothers belt has used up, temporarily accepts a employment of merchant to cross Youdi River to deliver to Uruk City State across Desert as the bodyguard the cargo safely, unexpectedly actually encountered the monster in the river, had Amon they not to come back usually in spoke together, two brothers' manner were very respectful, Amon asked anything, they replied anything, lest explained insufficient careful, has neglected this honored Sir Mage.
Amon inquired many related Babylon Kingdom as well as the Uruk City State's situation actually. At least he understands that so-called Youdi River god Hong Baba and gratitude and grudges between Uruk City State, clear why Gilgamesh must kill it.
Amon also heard another very interesting matter, in the heart „determined” finally Inanna status, that beautiful moving miss should be Babylon King Princess of Moraby II younger sister young Han it is said this small alizarin red princess has the astonishing beautiful appearance, actually the natural disposition romantically does not like the life in imperial palace. Plays to various places frequently, yearns for heroic story in the legend, but also likes the disguise changing costume the appearance of common people miss, walks in the marketplace and in the wilderness, does not know that cancelled the hearts of many men. As a result of her status, does not need to explain the reason, these treat as the man who the common people miss pursues naturally also to include the small alizarin red princess cherish the illegal lecher to her, does not have any good end entirely.
Gilgamesh meets Inanna time sang a song, what if the lyrics said is the small alizarin red princess, then the entire Kingdom people should understand that is any meaning. A news is very important, the small fungus princess is the Gilgamesh fiancee! When this wedding is senior king Hammurabi I am alive assigns, the goal is to certainly boss around the Kingdom most well-known City State hero, and promises in another City State with Kingdom to make the small alizarin red princess's dowry.
This political marriage already can consolidate the rule of Babylon Kingdom, can better control western frontier strategic place Uruk City State, it hold was crossing the Youdi River choke point, west of Youdi River passes through Desert, is and Egypt Empire and Hittites Kingdom's intersection point. The marriage has arranged, the litigant is not then able to reject, moreover seems everyone has no reason to oppose that one is the Kingdom most beautiful princess, another is the Kingdom most famous City State hero.
However three years ago after senior king Hammurabi I passed away, the situation had the subtle change, the eldest son and Hammurabi of II Hammurabi I succeeds to the throne, his was very old, will not have the oneself child, Babylon Kingdom the struggle of future throne right of inheritance to set the foreshadowing. Has the qualifications with possibly to involve the throne to compete, is the several nephews of small alizarin red princess and king.
The senior king has two grown children, when the eldest son is young the Hammurabi II of living, this year when quickly 70 years old, a youngest daughter is the small alizarin red princess who his old age favorite imperial concubine lives, this year is also less than 20 years old. This year the enormous difference in age, is not rare regarding the royal family, because the senior king has many imperial concubines, however actually only has left behind such two 7 twelfth branch in his youth and old age.
Small alizarin red princess once repeatedly openly said is not interested in the authority, only wants to be far away from the kings to go to happy playing, does not want already to get married, she seems like the young girl who wants to play all the time to like the practical joke. In Kingdom spreads is not knowing when the news when spreads, some political opponents want while the princess goes out to assassinate her. In the marketplace also has another rumor, Gilgamesh, if married the small alizarin red princess, may usurp the Babylon Kingdom throne, does not clarify is any person spreads.
These rumors make Gilgamesh very disgruntled, he therefore eagerly does not get married the small alizarin red princess, the wedding such has been towing.
Small alizarin red princess previous Yin time the disguise changed costume goes out has played, heard that has not returned to the royal palace from the summer of last year to the winter of this year, it is estimated that also by the status everywhere remove evil playwriting of common people, did not have the honored princess proper appearance. It is said small alizarin red princess is naive, in Kingdom does not know that has provoked many unreasoning passion man lovesickness tears, therefore some people will say that this is already scandalous is also very dangerous, her political opponent will send for assassinating her while this opportunity.
Heard these, Amon had then determined Inanna should be the small alizarin red princess, this can explain that his all sees: Why when Inanna thinks document writes the oneself name, will add on mark that only then the Spiritual God or royal family noble can use \; Why she will know Gilgamesh. But Gilgamesh sang such song, actually salutes and invites to her her and good.
enkidu obviously knows that Amon is Sorcerer, said this time him under the asylum of Inanna through City State, threatens Amon to have improper ambition, will otherwise possibly kill him. The reason is very simple, small alizarin red princess is the Gilgamesh fiancee, hence all obtained the reasonable explanation.
Since „ knows that „ the Inanna status is the small alizarin red princess, Amon slightly sighed, no longer goes to think, when oneself perhaps is only that romantic and mischievous princess game Kingdom one of the many people sexually harassing. Even if will arrive at Babylon City, Amon as impossible to look for her as King Fuli, he did not plan to want as for the reward of Inanna commitment.
But he impression to Inanna is good, is very at least beautiful in the feeling on that wilderness together strolling, she gives his cake, is Amon has tasted unsurpassed beautiful is dark. She has not done to be unfair to his matter, counter- has sheltered an exposed status Sorcerer security passes Uruk City State. Places this feeling and gratitude at heart, do not go to think, Amon only feels at ease recuperates the body of oneself in two brothers' villages.
When two brothers Amon entertainment good of , let he is weak have a comfortable safe house, can better restoration magic power, Amon feel grateful since the mind. When on ferryboat, is these two brothers raises the sword to step onto bow Guardian in him about, but hiding that other people are panic-stricken in cabin, Amon very much thanked them at that time. Had a matter, making the Amon decision of recreation body probably repay these two people well.
In Amon is admitted to the village the seventh day, the path outside village has come up the City State's messenger. Sir City Lord sent out the multi-channel messengers to take the spin flag to go all over City State's each village, announced two news to the people. The first article news: Seven days ago Hong Baba descendants and a rogue Python have attacked the ferryboat in the daytime, was cut to kill by Sorcerer at the scene. Gilgamesh has issued announcement to entire City State, explained Amon's status Sorcerer, has not said his name one by one.
Gilgamesh has not hidden identity for Amon, in the message that but the messenger transmits how has not said this Sorcerer afterward. The people discussed in private, after that Sorcerer disembarked, quietly walked from the track, the time passes for seven days, it is estimated that already left the Uruk City State's possession to go far away.
Sorcerer cut to kill the monster to save full Chuan the person, this was a shocking matter, even was some incredibleness beyond description. But the attention of people was attracted by the second news, because this news made one shock that was hard to imagine! City State's protects the Captain enkidu Sir, seven days ago night cut to kill Youdi River god Hong Baba, has chopped its nine heads, has manufactured a battle drum with the snake skin, with the snake bone system prestige the drumstick, and extracted nine snake muscles, to draw out 36 buckteeth.
City Lord Sir Gilgamesh and enkidu fought side-by-side, intercept Hong Baba escape route to make it have no place to go, to be cut all heads by enkidu finally. This makes the common people shocking heroic act, the news travels, enkidu became Spiritual God general existence in the mind of City State people with the Gilgamesh name!
It is said Sir City Lord has also made a decision, the obtained spoils of war will be divided into three, each share is three snake muscles with four buckteeth, keeps Uruk City State as permanent commemorating, offers to Great Great God Marduk, delivers to the Babylon royal palace as giving the unmarried wife and children alizarin red princess's gift.
Recently Gilgamesh is going to offer the name of gift to go to Marduk to advocate Temple and Babylon royal palace respectively, this news travelled, was not only Uruk City State, seethed with excitement including entire Babylon Kingdom. In each City State even is the far away village, people at excited discussion these many years of unprecedented grand occasions.
The Babylon Kingdom people ebullition, with living in Amon in village is very as if remote, but at present his situation changes is very awkward.
Before the City State's messenger arrives at the village gate, read out Sir City Lord announcement loudly, he also heard in the building clearly, at that time also two brothers on ship naturally also clear his status.
Gave shelter to Sorcerer family|home and has given best hospitality, if did not know the circumstances of the matter can also explain, but knew now City State's announcement, they should doing perhaps was takes Amon to give City State Temple. These two brothers have seen the Amon's skill, clear oneself at is not a match, such does is certainly impossible, may continue to give shelter to Amon not to be inappropriate.
Amon does not want to annoy troublesome to them, after the window in building looks the City State messenger goes far away, he had planned that packed the thing to leave. Unexpectedly two brothers went home, has not actually occurred like anything, still respectful asked Amon to go downstairs to eat meal, the supper was more sumptuous than the past, simply has not raised the messenger to read out the matter of announcement. When supper Amon expressed thanks very much tactfully, and proposed saying good-bye before leaving, he plans to walk immediately, a night does not want to remain again much.
However the two brothers sent all people, the Abe's very sincere saying in front of Amon: „Our benefactors, please do not suspect that we receive cordially your sincerity. Was you have saved our brothers' lives, your arrival was our gospels! Actually we looked, you also need to rest for these days ill well. But your horse also got sick, the groom in village will certainly feed them, carries you to step the future journey. Please anything do not need to be worried that relieved living here, until fully restores to start off again! The journey is perhaps more unobstructed.”
Abe very obvious was suggesting Amon, the two brothers were clear he are position Sorcerer, moreover ill was unsuitable to continue to hurry along. They will not mind that will not leak the Amon's identity, still very much respectfully will receive cordially him, to repay his graciousness of life-saving. Now the news has travelled in entire City State, if Amon returns to the main road, perhaps some people will know him, will get better thoroughly starts off to be safer again.
This to Amon indeed is a wiser choice, although he fully has not restored, but was also insufficient to be afraid these two brothers. In village all people in Amon's Detection Magic Technique monitoring range, in this remote place, even if there is any condition he also very convenient hiding to arrive in nearby wilderness and Jungle.
Amon thinks to nod to say finally: „Many thanks your good intentions, I will certainly repay your, if there is anything to request to open the mouth freely, certain making contribution that I can accomplish.” He said that but actually does not have other meaning, do not look that the Amon attire is ordinary, but is absolutely rich, he has enough financial resource numerous reward this two brothers, even if buys for them the present is bigger than several times of villages.
Amon these words made this elder brother move, on this day after the dinner, this hidden younger brother Abe will call in the field, discussed with him: „What Amon makes us have to request to open the mouth freely, my dear brothers, what intimacy should we ask his while this opportunity?”
Abe shakes the head saying: „Amon, although is position Sorcerer, can actually be able to use Scroll, should be rich. However we receive cordially him to repay the graciousness of life-saving, how can also scheme his wealth?”
This hidden pats the younger brother shoulder saying: „You have misunderstood, do I possibly want his money? We saw on the ship, he is that splendid Sorcerer, grasped that formidable and mysterious strength!...... Do not forget us also to study the qualifications of Magic Technique, even has registered the name in the ceremony record of Temple, but nobody meets again to teach our Magic Technique.”
Abe also sighed: „Yes, grandfather's old priest of friend and that respect passed away.”
Two brothers' talk also involves to past events. Only then noble has the qualifications to study Magic Technique, but does not mean, so long as is noble can study Magic Technique at will. This must obtain permission of Temple, accepts Awakening of Strength ceremony, must have the explicit registration, was equal to obtaining the approval qualifications.
Therefore the Mage status is very difficult to pretend to be, each Mage family background is on record, which City State and which Temple, was held Awakening of Strength ceremony by which priest, these records are clear.
Two brothers' grandfathers are also alive, in Uruk Temple old priest is his friend, once complied to teach Abe with this hidden Magic Technique, and has held Awakening of Strength ceremony, has made the confirmation registration in Temple. But Awakening of Strength is not can succeed immediately, that old priest is only simple has held one time for them, afterward passed away.
