Sumer is a village town with more than 1000 people. However, Amun has never been to other places. He thinks that this town is much smaller than DUK town. But the sky here is very blue, and most of the people's clothes are light linen or cotton clothes. Looking at the fields and sheep around, as well as the livestock and the chickens and geese in captivity, they are obviously much richer than Duke town.

But the houses here don't look beautiful and solid enough, and they seem poorer than Duke. As they walked past the temple in the town, Amun was even surprised that the temple was built of wood and only had two floors! It's a far cry from the magnificent shrine of Lapis and white marble in Duke.

He murmured in a low voice, "why do people here build temples with wood? Most of the houses are made of wood. Aren't you afraid of fire? "

Yin Nanna explained in a low voice: "it is very expensive to transport stones out of the mountains and reprocess them. It is cheap and convenient to build houses with wood here But the hall of cultivation uses cedar wood, which is different from ordinary wood. "

Amun: what kingdom is this and what gods are worshipped in the temple

Yin Nanna: "this is in the kingdom of balun. The temple of enril is built."

Amun was a little puzzled and asked, "I heard that the main god believed in the kingdom of balun was the king God of malduk, while the main god of hathi and Assyria was the great God of enril. Why did the temple of enril be built here

Yinnanna shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe God's territory and human territory are not exactly the same. In the territory of balun, the temples of Marduk are built in the cities east of the Youdi River, while the temples of enril are built to the west of the Youdi river. However, there are also Marduk and other gods in the temples Anyway, they are all of the same God system. According to human legend, isn't enril the uncle of Marduk

Amun nodded his head and said, "Oh, so it is."

You don't want to ask, but you don't want to ask

Amun looked at her and said, "what's so strange about this? Isn't enril the uncle of Marduk? As far as I know, Horus is the king God of all the Egyptians, but the most important temple in lower eju is Isis temple, which also worships Horus and other gods. "

Yin Nanna blinked her eyes: "I mean, how did this division of temples along the banks of the Youdi River come into being in the first place? Is there an agreement between the gods? Aren't you curious? "

Curious? The curiosity of the gods sent the lives of the old madman and bell, and so many people were buried with him, and Amun could not help but embark on an unknown and rugged road. He didn't want to entangle this question in front of Yin Nanna, and said with a bitter smile: "what's the use of curiosity? I'm a little mortal, and I don't know the great God Marduk or enril, so I have no place to ask Yin Nanna, you are familiar with this place. Where can I sell clothes? Let's go shopping first. "

Yinnanna led Amun into a crossroad in the town and entered a shop. A boy of 16 or 7 years old came up and said, "do you want to buy clothes? Take a look. Our shop is the best goods in the neighborhood. There are cloth and ready-made clothes."

Amun is very simple to buy clothes. He points to himself and says, "I want ready-made clothes. I can wear them."

The clerk took a look at him, and it was obvious that Amun was not a noble. So he took a set of the best light cotton cloth clothes with red stripes, which were very beautiful and conspicuous, but there were no other designs, colors and embroideries. He said, "this suit needs 30 copper coins. It's cool and breathable in hot weather. It's cheap and good. You can't buy it anywhere else."

However, Amun thought that the cloth was not strong enough and was not wear-resistant enough. He pointed to a set of coarse linen cloth which was also very light but woven very tightly. He said, "I want this dress, plus pants of the same fabric. I'll have two sets."

Slightly disappointed, the man replied, "you don't want to see anything else, even if you have ten copper coins in one set and two sets of twenty?"

Amun shook his head and said, "I don't need it anymore Yin Nanna, you can choose what kind of clothes you want to buy. "

Yin Nanna pointed to a long skirt hanging on the wall: "this one looks good. I like it. Can it be very expensive?"

When the clerk turned to see Yin Nanna's appearance, he immediately had a light feeling in his eyes. He could hardly move his eyes when he looked at her face and body. When he heard the question, he returned to his mind and said, "Miss, you have a good taste. Among the clothes we sell in our shop, this is the best color that common people can wear. It's a little expensive. It needs 60 copper coins."

The guy looked at amon as he spoke. Amun didn't care what the guy thought of him. He took out a silver coin and handed it over: "that's it. I'll buy it. Do you have a place to change clothes? Let her change clothes first

The clerk was surprised, and then nodded his head again and again: "yes, there is. You can change clothes in the room by the small door behind the counter." Then he took the silver coins and found amon's twenty copper coins.

When Yin Nanna changes her clothes and comes out, Amun can't help but shine in front of her. The dress she chose was extremely fitted. The thin white cotton cloth was printed with indigo stripes, which perfectly outlined the delicate figure and was almost attractive. The boy's eyes were straight, and Yin Nanna turned around in place and asked playfully, "Amun, is it good-looking?"Amun nodded: "good-looking, you are good-looking, wearing this dress will be more beautiful."

"Girl, you are so beautiful. What's your name

Yin Nanna looked back and said with a smile: "my name is Yin Nanna. Can I give you another pair of shoes after buying your expensive clothes?"

Such expensive clothes? Is it really expensive? Amun didn't have any idea about it. Since the clothes had to be paid for, they were certainly expensive, but it was no big deal. With only 80 copper coins, I bought two sets of clothes and a skirt, which was not enough for the cheapest bottle of wine in Duke town.

And the guy was almost crushed by Yin Nanna's smile. He took out a pair of cloth trip shoes from the back of the counter. The thick soft hemp soles looked very comfortable. He said with a smile, "of course, you can come here when you are free. We have all kinds of beautiful clothes here."

Yin Nanna laughed at him again, but didn't say thank you. She pointed to Amun and said, "it's not the shoes I wear, but he pays for the money. You should give him a pair of shoes that he can wear. This pair is too small."

Man "ah" a, obviously more disappointed, but Yin Nanna still smile at him. He took another pair of shoes that Amun could wear and handed them to Yin Nanna, saying, "OK, I'll give you one more pair. I'll give you another pair of shoes even if I give them to you."

Yin Nanna covered her mouth and said with a smile, "you little guy gave me two pairs of shoes, so I'm not afraid that the boss will come back and scold you?"

The boy suddenly came to the spirit, straightened his chest and said: "what are you afraid of? The boss is my father, and this shop is my family's!..." Miss, you must come often. I'll give you a cheaper one Listen to the tone of this, and look at his eyes, do not know whether you want to give or take advantage of.

Put on the new clothes they bought, they went to the town again, which was more eye-catching. Passers-by almost all stare at Yin Nanna's body - her face, her chest, her body. Another person will be very uncomfortable to be seen, but Yin Nanna laughs as well.

Out of the shop, Amun asked, "where do you sell sheep? We're going to buy sheep

Yin Nanna: "of course not on the street. There is a market on the other side of the town."

There are similar regulations in all countries of Tianshu continent. Slaves are not allowed to wear dyed cloth, and people are not allowed to wear embroidered clothes. Yin Nanna claimed to be a shepherdess slave, but she wore a flowered skirt with indigo stripes. But Amun was still inexperienced in this respect, for there were few slaves in Duke.

Almost all the residents of Duke town are miners' families. Only the mayor and Lord Xiaogu have servants who serve the daily life. In the mines outside the town, there were slaves who worked like miners and wore the same clothes. Amun just thought that yinnana's dress was so beautiful that he couldn't help but look at her side.

When they came to the market town, the dazzling Yin Nanna caused a lot of commotion. Amun was not afraid to be seen by others. At first, he dared to look directly at Eko Maria's eyes. He was regarded as a God in the cave savage tribe, and became the center of public attention more than once in Duke. What was it to be seen by these townspeople? He just vaguely felt that there was something wrong, but he did not think clearly what was wrong.

Almost every stall owner would come over to greet him attentively, and then casually glanced over Amun's linen clothes and straw sandals. His expression was a little strange, as if he felt that it was a pity for Yin Nanna to stand with him.

However, she could not find the white sheep with black spots as Yin Nanna said. She looked very disappointed and seemed to cry again. Amun comforted, "can you change a sheep? Anyway, what you lost is a sheep. I can give you a bigger and better one. "

Yin Nanna pouted and shook her head: "no, I'm looking for a sheep like that. There are more sheep out of the town. Shall we go to the shepherd to buy a good one? "

Amun nodded and said, "well, let's keep looking."

They had already swayed around Sumer, where almost all the people in the town were talking about a young man in straw sandals and coarse linen clothes leading a charming girl to come here. The girl was dressed in shabby clothes. The young man took her to the old Joseph's tailor's shop and bought a beautiful and expensive new skirt. It is said that the young man only bought two sets of coarse linen clothes, but also very stingy to take advantage of it. The girl asked little Joseph for two pairs of shoes.

Life in a small town is plain and boring, and this kind of thing is easy to be the topic of communication. People are saying that it must be the young man who abducted the girl and eloped by here. They should come from far away, because the young man still speaks with a Hatty accent.

Amun followed Yin Nanna to the outside of the town. Sure enough, he saw the sheep grazing leisurely there. "Look, that's the sheep I'm looking for!" Yin Nanna said with a surprise

Amun turned his head and was stunned: "Yin Nanna, how do you point to me?"

Yin Nanna patted him: "you look over there."

Amon turned his head to the other side. There were some lambs with black spots in the sheep. At this time, Yin Nanna had already trotted over, squatted down and picked up a sheep, and exclaimed in surprise, "that's it, Amun, it's the sheep I lost!"

"Don't talk nonsense, miss. It's my sheep!" The shepherd, who was carrying a long whip, came from a distance and exclaimed unhappily that it was a burly old man.Amun quickly went to remind Yin Nanna: "how can this be your sheep, it can't fly, from such a far place can run here, do you wrong?"

The old man looked at Amun and said to Yin Nanna, "this is my master's sheep. Every morning I drive them to the hillside to eat grass, and every evening I drive them back to the sheep pen. Every day, I will carefully count them. This sheep is definitely not yours."

However, Yin Nanna held the sheep and began to cry at Amun: "but this is the sheep I lost. I know it. Amun, help me!"

The shepherd was angry: "beautiful girl, you can't be so unreasonable! It's my sheep. "

It seems that these two people are going to argue. If Yin Nanna is not a girl, the shepherd will swing his whip. Amun quickly stood in the middle and tried to persuade him: "maybe it's a similar looking sheep. She has been looking for it for a day. It's hard to avoid being worried. Well, I want to buy this sheep. How much is it worth? "

Before the shepherd spoke, yinnanna stood up and grabbed Amun and said, "this is my sheep. Why do you have to pay for it? He stole my sheep

The shepherd finally got angry and pointed his whip at Amun's nose and said, "foreigner, are you bringing this girl to be a robber? Be careful of my whip

Yin Nanna hid behind Amun and said, "we are not robbers, you are thieves. You stole my sheep!"

amon as like as two peas, and she did not care about the shepherd's whip. She opened her arms and said, "don't be angry, uncle. She has lost a sheep that looks exactly the same, and thinks it's her. I promise to help her find it, and I can pay for your sheep. "

The shepherd snorted coldly, waved his hand and hit a whiplash and said, "no! This is my master's sheep

Amun: "I give you more money, your master will not blame you, only will be more happy."

The shepherd took a look at him, held out two fingers and said scornfully, "well, two silver coins. Do you want to buy them?" He was disgusted with these two foreigners. The girl said he was a thief, but a young man who was guarding the girl seemed more hateful. So he offered a very unreasonable price to send them away.

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Amun had quickly pulled out two silver coins and handed them over. The shepherd was so stunned that he even forgot to reach for it. Amun took his hand, put the silver coin in the palm of his hand and said, "this is money. Keep it. Can you give me a rope so that I can lead the sheep away."

The things outside the mountain are really cheap. Amun has said that he is willing to pay more, but he only wants two silver coins. The shepherd looked at Amun as if he were looking at some monster. The sheep was not big. He could buy five with two silver coins. Today, he made a small fortune.

After looking at Amun for a long time, he suddenly regained his mind. He simply pulled down his whip rope and handed it to Amun. He said, "take this to tie the sheep. There is no other rope here." Then he came to me in a low voice and whispered, "young man, you are a generous and good man! Why don't you buy yourself a good suit of clothes if you have money That girl is beautiful, but you can't afford it. "

Amun said thanks, tied the sheep with a whip and led him out of the ranch. After walking away, yinnanna hugged Amun's arm, fell in his ear and said, "Amun, do you think I'm unreasonable? But this sheep is as like as two peas. I swear it is the same as the one I lost.

Amun said with a bitter smile: "maybe it's yours, maybe it's not yours, but there's no evidence that it's in other people's sheep. Unless someone proves that the sheep ran from your sheep, you can't take it away at will The place where you lost the sheep is so far away that it is unlikely that it will come by itself. There are a lot of black spots in that flock. Maybe they are really similar

Yin Nanna: "every sheep's spots are different. Of course, the sheep herders can recognize them. Anyway, I want to thank you for buying this sheep But why do you spend so much money? You are so strong that you don't have to be afraid of that shepherd's blackmail. How can he be your opponent

Amun shook his head and said, "I'm going to buy sheep, not to rob them. If I can prove that the sheep belongs to you, I don't mind helping you get it back. Unfortunately, I can't prove it. It's not that I don't believe you. "

Yin Nanna lowered her head and said, "but in this way, I owe you too much. How can I repay you?"

Amun laughed. "You have rewarded me. You brought me to town and sent me such delicious cakes."

Yin Nanna: but your sheep are too expensive. If I don't talk like that, you won't spend so much money

Amun shrugged: "it's not expensive. I think it's cheap."

Yin Nanna takes the whip rope from Amun's hand and leads the sheep. They cross the market and return to the town. Amun wanted to find a place where there were people. He wanted to experience all kinds of people and things. There was no specific purpose. When he returned to the town, he found that people were looking at them with a strange look and pointing out their private opinions behind their backs. But when he turned his head to look at the past, people turned away.

Although Amun has no experience of going out of the house, he is not really stupid. If he stealthily scans the divinity skill, he will probably know what people are talking about. He can't help laughing. At this time, he also realized that Yin Nanna was not an ordinary shepherd slave. She had seen many people outside the mountain, including many women, who were not as tender and beautiful as Yin Nanna.Passing the town pub, Yin Nanna suddenly stopped and said, "Amun, are you tired? If you are tired, you can go in and have a drink."

Amun suddenly remembered one thing. The mayor of Dusti once said that the cheapest glass of wine in the tavern outside was only a copper coin. He had been doubting about it. He really wanted to see it. So he said to yinnana, "I don't know if I go in for a drink, will it delay your time? I'll take you back first. It's dark when you're not far out of town. "

"Are you going to send me back?" she asked

Amun: you still have a long way to go after dark. Of course I will send you back. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. The market town is here

Yin Nanna laughed: "thank you! Whether you drink or not, it will be dark. There is still a long way to go after dark. Go and have a rest first. "

Wine is a luxury, but not only belongs to aristocrats. Many civilians have money and leisure time to drink a few drinks in the pub, which is the most luxurious enjoyment on weekdays. In the war years in the history of Tianshu continent, some countries once banned the drinking of civilians, because wine making consumed a lot of food and needed to be controlled in the difficult period of material shortage.

When people drink too much, they always think and whine, say something they don't dare to say and do something they don't dare to do, so pubs are often one of the most chaotic places in a town. Amun took Yin Nanna into the pub and immediately heard a loud noise. But when they came in, many people spoke in a low voice. Obviously, the topic of discussion in the tavern was two foreigners who came to the town today.

Amun found an empty table and sat down. There was a boss and two assistants. The boss came by himself and asked, "young man from afar, what would you like to drink? We have the best wine in the neighborhood. "

Amun is very direct, the first sentence is his most concerned about: "you here the cheapest wine, is a copper coin a cup?"

Boss Leng Leng Leng, immediately smile way: "yes, a copper coin a cup, you want to have a cup?" Although he was smiling, he had some disdain in his eyes. He had heard about foreigners in town. The young man was generous to girls, but he was stingy. Now, it is true.

How can a glass of wine be enough? Amun waved his hand and said, "have a pot."

The boss asked the waiter to bring a pot of wine and two cups. Yinnanna naturally reached out to take the wine pot and poured a glass of wine to Amun. She did not sit down, but stood by Amun's side with the jug in her hand.

Few women would come to the tavern to drink. Occasionally, most of them came from the prostitutes in the town. Brothels were another chaotic place in the market town. Such a beautiful woman came to the town and was brought into the tavern by Amun. Everyone's eyes were focused on Yin Nanna, waiting to see the beauty drink. It was much more enjoyable than eating wine and food under the side dishes. Unexpectedly, she didn't drink.

Amun was about to ask Yin Nanna to sit down. The tavern owner first asked, "girl, why don't you sit down? Is it someone who won't let you sit down? "

"No, I'm a slave girl. I can't sit here and drink wine," Yin nanajiao explained with a smile Take your time, amon. I'll stand and pour you wine

I see! The whisper in the tavern became loud, like a fly buzzing up. The girl was a slave brought by a young man from other countries. He dressed himself in cheap clothes, but he showed off her beautiful clothes in front of the public. He also violated the rules and bought a dyed skirt for her.

If Amun was a noble man, no one would interfere with his affairs if there was something wrong with the clothes of the beautiful slaves he loved. But it was a sin for Amun to wear straw sandals and coarse linen clothes, to drink the cheapest bad wine in the tavern, and to make such a public display with beautiful female slaves.
