Those snake tendons, Amun even felt that they had the nature of dark blue water heart. Of course, they could not be used as divine stones. However, if they were processed into weapons such as long whip or bow string, they could greatly assist the power of water element divinity. If they were used in warships, their power could be maximized.

Amun plans to go back and study the snake tendon in his hand. Maybe he can use it to make his first artifact. He thought of the strange snake killed in the Euphrates that day. There must have been four fangs frozen in the ice and exploded into the water. Unfortunately, he did not find it. Although the snake's tendons and tusks are far from the spoils of enqidu, they are also very precious and rare artifact materials.

Gilgamesh's gift to show off to the whole country is really precious! Just as Amun thought so, the motorcade had passed through the gate, and he joined the cheering crowd and quickly entered the city of Baron.

The procession passed through the city of balun and came to the square in the center of the city. The square, which can hold hundreds of thousands of people, is just in front of the grand main temple of Marduk, opposite the royal palace. On the left is the school of theology of the kingdom of Baron, and on the right is the memorial hall of the glory of heroes. The memorial hall is dedicated to the famous heroes in the history of the kingdom. Without accident, the names of Gilgamesh and enqidu will also be engraved and worshipped there after their death.

People gathered on one side of the square, and a semicircle cordon blocked the temple steps. King hamorabi II of Baron led his ministers to meet Gilgamesh.

Naturally, a city Lord is not qualified to be welcomed by the king. However, Gilgamesh's achievement in killing Hun Baba has attracted the attention of the whole country, which is also the glory he deserves. After all, humbaba's tusks and snake tendons are at the front of the motorcade, and Hammurabi II also takes this opportunity to show his favor. The news had already spread, and the City owners of nearby cities also came to the king's capital to watch the fun. It was very complicated to stand behind the king and look at Gilgamesh.

There is also a group of royal nobles with the same complexion. We all know that Gilgamesh is the fiance of Princess Xiaoxi. We also know that the kingdom of Baron is likely to face a battle for the throne in the future. Some people are murmuring about the deep meaning of Gilgamesh's move, and others are thinking about which side to stand on? Gilgamesh's smile was bright and calm, and he knew that there were rumors in the kingdom that he might usurp Baron's throne after he married Princess Xiaoxi.

On the one hand, the purpose of Gilgamesh's move is to express his loyalty to the Kingdom and the gods. He killed hunbaba, but offered the snake's tendons and tusks to the Marduk temple. Obviously, he was announcing to the gods that humbaba had violated the agreement between Marduk and enril. If enril had anything to say, he should go to Marduk. On the other hand, it is also a kind of warning. He is not afraid of the guardian gods of the Youdi River, nor is he afraid of slander and threat from anyone.

So he swaggered to the king's capital to receive the cheers of the people and the king's welcome in person. He did not care about the rumors in the kingdom. The hero of the city-state was extremely proud! Enqi, the leader of his bodyguard and the first warrior on the mainland, did not accompany him to the city. He only took a simple guard of honor, and did not let the city-state army follow in the name of escort, which made many people feel inexplicably relieved.

Amun mingled in the crowd to watch the fun. He didn't care about enqi capital. He thought that yinnana would go into the city with Gilgamesh, but he didn't see her. She was not found in the royal welcome team in front of the temple. When Gilgamesh, accompanied by the king and the high priest of the Kingdom, entered the temple and square, and the atmosphere reached a climax, Amun quietly left to look for medanzo.

In today's Baren City, almost all the people are empty. Amun goes through the streets and asks for the way from the listless guys who guard the shop, and finally comes to the door of medanzo's house. This is a century old house. It has been renovated and rebuilt in recent years. It looks beautiful and spacious. A long time ago, this block was supposed to be the residence of aristocrats, but after the old king Hammurabi I expanded the king's city and built a more magnificent main temple, most of the princes now live in the southern city, and the east city is basically a new place for the rich and the common people.

There are many shops and inns nearby. Normally, this area should be prosperous and noisy, but today it is quite quiet. Although he lost his aristocratic status, he lived in his ancestral home and employed the porter, groom, servant and maid. It must cost a lot to maintain this kind of ostentation. No wonder he would sell precious refined iron and horse leather steel privately to make money.

Amun came unfortunately. The porter told him that the master of the house, madanzo, had gone out a few months ago, but he has not come back yet, and his mother is not at home. Today, he went to the square in front of the temple to watch the excitement. This made Amun a little surprised and disappointed. He came all the way, but it was normal to think about it. It has been nearly two years since mendanzo left the savage landing last time. He probably went to link again.

Since it's not easy to turn around and leave since he's here, it's better to say hello to his wife when he's not in. If there's any difficulty at home, he can help solve it. Anyway, Amun has plenty of money and time. He waited in the foyer of the mansion until it was getting dark when meidanzo's wife, mialli, took the maid home. When he heard that a friend had come to visit him, he also came to the side hall to meet him.Amun was a little surprised when he saw miyali. He was impressed! Outside the city gate, he saw miyali and her maid among the cheering crowds, waving her turban and screaming at Gilgamesh. Amun thought this person was the eldest girl of whose family, but it was madanzo's wife.

Miyaly saw Amun in his old coarse linen clothes and shoes covered with soil, and a coarse stick like a branch beside her. She frowned slightly, trying to be polite and politely asked about Amun's purpose. Amun took out a gold sign and put it on the table and said, "my name is Amun. I told medanzo that I would come here to visit. He must have mentioned me to you? This is my keepsake. Do you know it? "

Miyaly recognized the sign as soon as she saw it. Before leaving, medanzo had told her that if someone came here to take out the sign, he would give her the best reception. This man's Keepsake is not only left by the benefactor of his family, but also the most respected teacher of medanzo.

When she saw Amun take out the brand, she was very confused and even annoyed. The visitor was clearly a humble stranger, and he was very young. How could she be willing to leave such a strange man at home and give the best hospitality? The benefactor of medanzo's family has long been dead. What does it have to do with such a teenager with a sign? Look at Amun's appearance, it's obvious that he can't be madanzo's teacher!

Last time she came back home, she was shut up for more than a year. This time, she finally said she was going to do business, but there was no news for several months. She left her at home alone, and there was not much money left. Now that mendanzo himself did not go home, but came to such an obscure "creditor", how can people not be angry?

Thinking of this, miyaly tried to be polite, but she replied coldly: "I'm really sorry, sir! I don't know this brand very well, and I don't know you. Madanzo is not at home. I dare not take in a strange man and let the neighbors gossip. He went out two and a half months ago. He said that he would come back in three months at most, and the calculation time was fast. Can you come back in a few days? When madanzo comes home, he will give you the most warm hospitality

With these words, she asked the porter to see the guests off, and she didn't leave amon a meal!

Amun was shut down because of a soft nail. If he had just stepped out of the mountain, he would have been very surprised. But after this long journey, he saw the warmth and coldness of human feelings all the way. He could also understand why he should care about a woman? No one will be happy when her husband is away for a long time and a poorly dressed stranger comes to ask for hospitality.

"I'm staying in a nearby Inn and I'll come back to see you when madanzo gets home," he told miyali When he went out, he saw the old cloth shoes on his feet and the dirt on them. Amun also showed a wry smile.

Miyaly refused Amun the door and did not give the best hospitality as her husband told her. After all, she was a little guilty. She sent the maid forsha to follow her to see where Amun would live, and planned her words to her husband in her mind. Amun, of course, was amused to know that miyali's maid was following him quietly.

He came to the nearby Inn and asked for the best room with the hall. The room cost was two silver coins a day! ——Miyali was surprised by the maid's return.

Amun didn't do it just to enjoy or show off. He walked through the city states and realized that the better the place he lived, the less trouble he would have. If you live in the Cheapest Inn, many people sleep in grass shops to squeeze a room. Even if the neighbors are robbed of something, the first place to be investigated is that kind of place.

On the other hand, Amun also needs a quiet and undisturbed environment to practice his magic meditation every night. He can only find the most expensive room in the inn instead of the remote mountains in the city of Baron. Even the assistant will not disturb him without notice, which saves him a lot of trouble.

The next day, Amun went out of the Inn and went to the clothing store nearby to buy clothes. After a long journey, his old linen clothes were worn out and could not be worn. The two new ones he bought in Sumer were also old. Besides, the weather is getting colder and colder. It's very inappropriate to walk on the street in thin clothes again. Even if he is not afraid of the cold, he can't look too dazzling.

At the clothing store he bought two pairs of comfortable soft leather boots, the kind that madanzo wore on long-distance mountaineering. They were strong and durable, and two sets of light fur coats. According to the law of the Kingdom, ordinary people's clothes can't be decorated with flowers, colors and embroidery beyond the rules. However, the beautiful patterns on the fur of wild animals are natural, which is not against the order. Therefore, fur of various colors is the favorite of rich businessmen who are not noble and their prices are very expensive.

Amun was used to wearing animal skin clothes in the savage tribe. In this way, he looked like a young master of a rich merchant who came out to visit and see the world in Wangdu. Amun had just finished buying clothes to change, but met miyali's maid Fusa to pick up the winter clothes ordered by her mother a month ago.

The shop owner was very dissatisfied and said, "these two sets of fur clothes are worth 30 silver coins, but you don't pay cash to keep them on credit. My business also needs capital. How can I afford to be in arrears?"

"My master will come back in a few days. I'll pay back all the money and interest. You'll let me take the clothes first, or my mother will scold me," she explainedThe shop owner said calmly, "what does it have to do with me if your mother scolds you? Since your master can come back in a few days, you can pick it up in a few days! Like you, can I do my business? "

Amun saw this scene, and secretly said that it was not easy for medanzo to earn money, and his women were generous enough to spend money. These two sets of clothes were more expensive than those he had just bought! But he couldn't see that his wife couldn't get her new winter clothes. He went up and took out two gold coins and handed them to Fusa, saying, "aren't you a maid of the maidenzo family? I'll pay for it first, and let him visit me when medanzo comes back. He knows who I am and you know where I live

Soon after Amun returned to the inn, someone called at the door, and met with madanzo's wife and all the servants of his family waiting outside the inn. Although the road was short, even the carriage was ready.

As soon as miyali saw Amun, she saluted and apologized: "distinguished guest, you are my master's teacher, but I neglected you. Please forgive me for my mistake I can't read. I didn't recognize the sign yesterday, but after you left, I found out the map of inheritance in the family, which makes it clear that you really represent the identity of the benefactor of the family. "

Amun waved his hand with a smile: "you don't have to apologize. The husband is not at home. It's really inconvenient to take in a strange man. How can I blame?"

Mia: please don't say that. Now that I know your identity, how can I keep you in the inn? The best room has been cleaned up, the servant has prepared a good dinner, and the carriage is waiting outside the door. Please come with me If you refuse this treat, my husband will certainly blame me when he comes back. He told me before he went out, but I turned you out yesterday. I'm really sorry. Please give me a chance to make up for it. "

She asked for a long time. She only said that it was medanzo's advice. She must not neglect Amun. Amun nodded. It was more convenient to live in medanzo's house than in an inn. What's more, he just wanted to find a quiet place, so he left the Inn and went home with miyaly.

Amun lived in madanzo's house. Miyaly had a good reception. The servants also respected him. They called him "Lord Amun" when they met. However, after the deadline agreed by medanzo and his family, no one came back. Amun could not help but feel a little anxious. What happened to medanzo on the way? Although he is a middle-level warrior, he may also be in danger after a long journey to resell official controlled materials.

Miyaly is very curious about Amun's identity. She always looks for opportunities to spy on him. She asks about his background many times, and asks why medanzo called him a teacher? Amun naturally would not reveal himself easily. He only said that he knew medanzo when he was traveling. He taught him some skills he had learned, so he would call him a teacher. As for the keepsake in his hand, it is because he can get to know madanzo.

Miyaly has heard of the legend of the maidanzo family. His great grandfather was a sixth level magician and a priest of the Marduk temple, but he did not know where he was buried in the war. Later, a hunter from afar got his relics and sent him back to the city of Baron, saving the family that was in trouble at that time. A few years ago, medanzo also vaguely mentioned that the hunter got the magic classics left by his great grandfather and became a magician. These were more than 100 years ago.

Medanzo has not come back, I do not know what happened, miyaly has other ideas. One day, she said to Amun, "you have been in Wangdu for a long time, but you always go around the house and yard. There are many interesting places in Wangdu. You may not be familiar with this place. I'll let the groom take you with you, and forsha will accompany you everywhere

Amun also wanted to visit Wangdu. It was better to have a familiar guide, so he nodded and agreed. On that day, Amun went out in the carriage of madanzo's, accompanied by Fusa, the maid. Before leaving, miyali specially told Fusa to take amon to some places to have fun and eat delicious food. She didn't go back home until dark.

After Amun left, miyaly sent his servant to the front yard. She went upstairs to his room by herself and carefully searched his package. Amun was very careful. The heavy branch staff was not convenient to take out to play. He put it by the bed, but the four special stones were taken away and put into the bone.

The shape of that bone is a human rib. In order to prevent it from being lost, Amun hid it in his clothes. It was hidden and safe. It contained his most important things, including all the relics from the mysterious cave. The big leather bag was not carried with him. The clothes he changed were also put in the room. There was a small leather pocket in the big leather pocket, which was his money bag.

Amun is rich enough, not to mention the four special god stones. He only got them from the mysterious mountain. One of them is very precious and can't be exposed easily. But he didn't care much about money. He just knew that it was very important to travel to mainland China. In fact, he didn't have to spend much money.

In this period of time, he had to stay in the shop and buy things when he entered the city of Baron. So he put all his "money" in his pocket, including gold, silver, copper and God stone, which was convenient to use. To carry things back and forth in that bone is to perform space divinity. The bone itself will not be detected by the detection divinity, but the power fluctuation during the application of space divinity may be discovered. Everything needs to be careful. If you don't need bones, you can use them as little as possible. This is the king's capital.When he left Duke Town, he took five sacred stones with him, and found nine scattered ones in the cave. After crossing the Euphrates River, Gilgamesh "compensated" him with ten. On the way, he gave medanzo, Cain and Abel one each, and the remaining twenty-one stones were useless. They were all put in the pocket together with the coins. It was impossible for him to carry so much money when he went out. He only carried some coins in his pocket.

Miyaly was a little disappointed when she found that Amun had only a few sets of clothes to change. However, she opened her pocket and saw the dazzling stones and gold coins. She took a cold breath and stayed there for a long time. This is a huge sum of money. It's the money medanzo has made for decades!

Although there was no one in the room, she felt so nervous that her heart was pounding wildly and she couldn't breathe for a moment. She wanted to put the leather bag away, but she didn't want to put it down for a long time. After putting it down, she stroked her chest with her hand, took a few deep breaths, and began to examine other things in the room carefully. Amon had nothing but clothes and a leather bag, but the stick that was leaning against the bed.

Miyaly went to take the "branch", almost did not flash her waist. It was so heavy that one hand did not lift it. Miyaly stretched out two hands to lift the stick off the ground. Suddenly she thought of something in her heart.

She knew more or less what kind of "business" medanzo did. It seemed that the stick was a whole piece of horse leather steel, but it was disguised as a branch to hide people's eyes. No wonder Amun insisted on not letting the maid clean up his room.

The young man had a lot of money, but when he first came to Baron, he dressed so simple that he must have something to hide. He must be a "business partner" of medanzo. He specially purchases the refined iron and MAG steel specially controlled by the government in private. It's nothing to buy and sell a small amount of these things in private, but it's a felony to purchase and smuggle in large quantities.

He really made a lot of money! Miyaly sighed in her heart, and at the same time, she judged Amun's intention again. He came to see him at the time of his return. He must have come to receive the goods, but he never came back. I'm afraid he won't wait too long. As for the words medanzo told before he left home, they should be all disguised pretexts. He did not want to expose Amun's identity as an illegal black market merchant.

Miriam was a little flustered to restore the things in the room, and then crept downstairs to her room. She felt very disordered and sweating. She asked forsha to pour water for herself, but no one agreed. Then she remembered that the maid had gone out to play with amon. Just then someone called on her brother Enoch, the son of a merchant in the city of Baron.

As soon as Enoch entered the door, he was very unhappy and said, "my sister, I heard that you have taken a strange man to live at home. Today I asked the porter, and you asked forsha to accompany him out to play Did you send forsha back to her mother's house to borrow money the other day, just to entertain that man? "
