Do you want to go too?
Amon sighed slightly. There were some things that couldn't be persuaded. He could only let Medanzo untie the knot in his heart. Although it was easy to kill people with a sword, it was not so easy to cut off troubles.
The next day, they arrived at a town. Amon asked Medanzo to stop the carriage and said, "This town is very big. We'll stay here for a while and buy some things we need on the road. There are many taverns and shops in the town. You can go and relax. I only have one warning: don't look for people to fight. "
Amon stayed in the inn. At night, he deliberately asked Medanzo to go out alone and not come back at night. Medanzo first went to the tavern in the town and drank a lot of wine. The more he drank, the more sober he became. Then he went to the largest brothel in the town. He called the most beautiful prostitutes in the brothel to his room and drank with him. Then he closed the door and spent the night. He didn't come out until noon the next day.
Medanzo was rich. He made a lot of money from selling Damasc steel embryos. He was usually very thrifty, but today he was very generous. Back at the inn, Amon asked him with a smile, "How is it? Do you feel better?"
Medanzo replied with a little embarrassment, "When I looked up and saw the sun at noon today, I suddenly felt that I didn't need to be like this. I'm your servant, but I need you to take care of me silently. I'm really ashamed. Please forgive me. "
Amon nodded. "Well, it's good that you've calmed down. You really haven't been feeling well these days. I'm also very happy to see that you've finally figured it out and stopped being depressed."
The somewhat mischievous Medanzo came back again. He winked at Amon and said, "My god, you're young, strong, handsome, and rich. If you go to the brothel, the girls will definitely like you very much. If you want to see it, can I take you there today?"
To be honest, Amon had never been to a brothel, and he never thought of what he would do in that kind of place. Although he was still young in the caveman tribe, his body was already very mature. Link had expressed more than once that he would send the most beautiful girl in the tribe to serve him. Perhaps it was because of the difference in aesthetic standards, but Amon had never been interested.
It wasn't that Amon didn't have any desires, and he had never deliberately wronged himself. When he met Yoon Namna, he did feel the budding desire in his body, but he didn't want to do anything to Yoon Namna. In his heart, there was already a woman. She was untouchable, but she had a name that belonged to him. There were no other temptations in this world.
Medanzo wanted to take him to the brothel to broaden his horizons, but Amon wasn't interested at all. He even felt that he was wronging his own desires, so he smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you want to go again today?"
Medanzo also smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, it's not necessary."
Amon waved his hand, "Then let's go. We'll continue westward and cross the Euphrate River. Then we'll reach the mountain road. There won't be such a big town again."
Medanzo said reluctantly, "Why are you in such a hurry? You'll have to leave after crossing the Euphrate River … I heard something strange in the town today. Princess Sissila is trapped in a tribe of alpine giants. She's in a very dangerous situation. If this gets out, the whole kingdom will be shocked. "
Amon suddenly stood up, "What's wrong with Princess Sissila? Tell me clearly. "
Medanzo was surprised, "Amun, why are you so concerned? Could it be … "
"I know Princess Sissila. She's my friend. What danger is she in?" Amon interrupted.
Medanzo was tongue-tied, "You … your friend? Oh, I see. Princess Sissila must have met you when she was traveling in the kingdom in disguise. No wonder you're not interested in the girls in the town. They're nothing in your eyes. But I have to remind you, haven't you heard the rumors in the kingdom? "
Amon glared at him, "You've just woken up and you're already talking nonsense. I met Princess Sissila by chance. We're friends. She helped me before. How can I not be concerned when I hear she's in danger? What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me! "
This town was called the Town of Arcade. When Medanzo came out from the brothel this afternoon, he saw a group of people gathering in front of the shrine. Mayor Tich was recruiting warriors to rescue Princess Sissila. A few days ago, a group of merchants came to the town. They stayed in the town for a few days and went sightseeing. One of them was a beautiful young lady, who left a deep impression on them.
A few days ago, the caravan left the town for the Syah Highlands in the north. It was said that they were going to trade goods with the highland giants. Mayor Tich warned them not to go there rashly, because they might be in danger unless they hired enough bodyguards to protect them. He also advised the young lady not to take the risk. If the caravan wanted to go, she should stay in the town and wait for them. The girl thanked him with a smile. Her dazzling smile almost stole Tich's soul, but she still went.
But yesterday, a man from the caravan suddenly returned to the town with a weapon in his hand and blood all over his body. Did you find Tich? Zhou reported. He was Princess Sissila's bodyguard, and the beautiful young lady was the princess. They were attacked by the giants in the mountains and trapped in a valley. They were in a very dangerous situation. The bodyguard risked his life to climb over a mountain and kill a mountain giant who tried to stop him on the way to the town.
The injured bodyguard told Tich? Princess Zhou Xiaoqian was trapped in the valley and asked him to bring people to rescue her. Mayor Tich's head was buzzing. He felt like the sky was falling down. If something happened to Princess Sissila in Arcade, his life would be in danger.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to offend Princess Sissila as long as she revealed her identity. Not only was she the King's only sister, but she also had a fiancé like Gilgamesh. Who would dare to offend her? But the barbaric giants on the plateau didn't care. When they heard that the young lady in the caravan was a princess, they attacked her even more ferociously. They tried to kidnap her and extort her for a large sum of money.
Princess Sissila might be playful, but she wasn't stupid. The caravan was actually her bodyguard in disguise. They could protect her under normal circumstances. But this time, they ran into a tribe of giants who were familiar with the terrain. The situation was very strange. The giants, who usually fought each other on their own, joined forces. Princess Sissila's bodyguard couldn't hold them off and had to protect her as they retreated. They were forced into a valley, and the situation was very dangerous.
As soon as the warrior arrived, Tich? Before Zhou Yu could organize a rescue team, the Giants United Tribe actually sent a messenger. The messenger was tall and wore coarse clothes made of animal skin. He even had a ring on his nose. He thought that he was very beautiful. After delivering a message, he took his leave. Tich? Mayor Zhou's heart almost stopped beating. For the sake of Princess Sissila's safety, he didn't let the giant stay.
The messenger's message was terrible. A princess was in their hands. They asked the town of Arcade to ransom her with a large sum of money in three days. Otherwise, they would kill the princess. The tribes were planning to move far away anyway. They weren't afraid of being hunted down by Bablon's army, and there was nowhere to find them in the mountains.
Mayor Tich wasn't sure if the news was true or not. Had the princess already been captured by the giants on the way back to Arcade? Or was it just a bluff? Mayor Tich didn't dare to take any chances. He had to follow the messenger's conditions and send the materials to the designated place as soon as possible.
Mayor Tich was a bit confused about what the giants wanted. Kidnapping and extorting a large sum of money should be enough. What were these barbarians thinking about? They wanted to bake wheat flour into cakes that could be stored for a long time, processed jerky and dried meat, large wooden barrels of salt, a lot of dromedary camels that could only carry goods for long distances, cloth that could be made into clothes, farming tools for farming, seeds that could be sown next year, tents for camping, and finally, a large sum of money, but they didn't say how much they wanted.
Mayor Tich ordered the townspeople to prepare overnight. While Medanzo was drinking with his mistress, the townspeople were busy baking pancakes and making jerky. Farming tools, salt, seeds, dromedary camels, and cloth were all gathered in the name of the government. However, they didn't find many tents for camping. This was not a military camp. Who would store such things for no reason?
Tich? Zhou Zhen was a very capable local governor. If it was someone else who encountered such a situation, they would definitely be flustered for a few days. However, he had sent people to inform the residents to work together. It only took him one night and half a day to get everything ready. He did not panic at all. Most of the materials were collected from the shops, and the temple in the town issued a receipt for them. As for the camels and farming tools taken from the farmers' houses, they were all carefully recorded. They could take the receipt to the town clerk to get the money.
But Tich? Zhou Zhen didn't dare to place all his hopes on the ransom. He made two preparations. He immediately recruited brave warriors with a large sum of money. Nominally, they were escorting the materials to negotiate with the giants. At the same time, they were also trying to save Princess Sissila by force in case the giants turned against them. Transporting a large number of materials to the giants in the mountains was a dangerous task. Mayor Tich decided to lead the team himself.
The giants' messenger only gave him three days. It would take a day to get to the designated place from Arcade, and it would be too late to ask for help from the city or the king. Distant water could not put out a nearby fire. Arcade was the largest town in the area. It had more than five thousand residents. Mayor Tich could only rely on him.
Tich sent an urgent message to the city of Kish. At the same time, he gathered all the warriors and the only two mages in the town and put up a notice to recruit warriors to go with him. Tich? Zhou Zhen was a fifth-level warrior. There were more than twenty warriors in the town, but they were still too weak. He hoped that there would be more warriors willing to help him.
Medanzo happened to see the scene. He heard the crowd talking about the princess. Princess Sissila might have been captured by the giants. Some people shook their heads and sighed. The playful princess was finally in trouble. What a pity for such a beautiful girl. No matter how angry Gilgamesh was, it would be useless. The simple-minded giants wouldn't think too much about the consequences.
Medanzo didn't stay long. He went back to the inn after asking about the situation. Amon was startled. He lifted his cane and asked, "Did you find out when Mayor Tich plans to leave?"
Medanzo answered, "Today, I'm recruiting warriors to join the escort team. We'll leave in the evening. We can't afford any delay. Time is tight."
Amon said, "My friend is in danger. I'm going to save her. Medanzo, will you come with me?"
Metatro patted his chest with a joyful expression. "Actually, I want to go too. Don't forget that I'm a brave warrior. I want to wash away my shame with heroic deeds and pull myself together again. However, I'm traveling with you, so I have to listen to your orders."
Amon nodded, "You want to go too? That's better. Let's go. "
Medanzo blinked his eyes and said, "Amun, if you want to join the team, you can't do it as a sorcerer. I have a suggestion. It'll be more convenient, but I'll have to trouble you for now. "
Amon said, "You've really come back to life. You always have a lot of ideas. Tell me if you have any."
Medanzo scratched the back of his head and said shyly, "I'm a middle-grade warrior. I'll be valued if I join the team. We have two horses, so I'll go as a ranger. Amun, you can pretend to be my follower for now. You'll have to keep the twig and the leather bag with you at all times. That way, you'll be able to follow me. "
Amon glanced at Medanzo, "You want to save Princess Sissila as a ranger, like a hero in the legends? Very well, it does suit your temperament. I'll make you look more majestic. Put on these. "He reached into the leather bag and took out a golden spear. He handed it to Medanzo.
The leather bag was only three feet square, but the spear was nine feet long. Medanzo was stunned. While he was still in a daze, Amon took out a three-foot-wide and five-foot-long green shield. He put it on the table and took out a silver sword. This sword was much more beautiful than Medanzo's. It was made of damasc steel and plated with heavy silver. It was engraved with subtle patterns in the shape of a magic circle. There was a parangon inlaid in the middle of the sword.
"My God Amon, you are …" Metatro was tongue-tied and couldn't say a word.
Amon was not done yet. He reached out and took out another set of luxurious armor. It was very light in his hand and was engraved with magic formations. It was obviously a specially made magic artifact with excellent defensive effects. He put them in front of Medanzo and said with a smile, "Now you look like a noble warrior, don't you think? I've prepared these for you a long time ago. You can use them now. "
The spear and the shield were very sharp and strong. The sword and the armor were not ordinary weapons. They were enchanted with magic. Medanzo took the sword and touched the armor. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. After a long while, he looked up and said, "Even if I sold my ancestral home, it wouldn't be enough to make a set of weapons like this. How can I accept it? Please lend it to me for a while. "
Amon smiled and shook his head, "These are yours. I've also given Link a staff. But you can't reveal your identity as a sorcerer in the mainland, so I've prepared a set of warrior's equipment for you."
Medanzo had seen Link's staff in the savage tribe. He was so envious that he drooled. He didn't expect that Amon had already prepared such a set of equipment for him. In the team that chased after Bair, the equipment of the warriors was naturally of high quality. Even after the battle, they were still intact. Which one of them wasn't good?
Metatro was already quite handsome. Now that he had changed into this armor, a sword at his waist, a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, he looked like a majestic god of war, incomparably dazzling.
… …
While Amon and Medanzo were talking, in a separate courtyard at the back of another inn in Arcade, two people were also discussing something. A middle-aged man with a staff said to a young man, "Your Highness, I don't recommend that you take the risk yourself. If you want to save the princess, you should send us. If Princess Sissila can't be saved, and something happens to you, it'll be troublesome. "
The young man called "Your Highness" said, "I was passing through Arcade when something happened to Princess Sissila. Do you think I won't be in trouble? She's the princess of the kingdom. What does it mean if I don't save her? If this gets out, I'll lose all my prestige in the kingdom. "
The middle-aged man still tried to persuade him, "Even the princess's guards couldn't resist the attack of the giants. I'm afraid we're no match for them. Of course we have to save her. It won't hurt your prestige if you send us."
The young man shook his head, "I'm a little older than her, but she's my aunt. Not only will I save her, but I'll also go myself. Princess Sissila is in danger because she was caught off guard. We should be careful and save her instead of fighting the giants. "
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and nodded, "It's good that you go yourself. Whether you can save her or not, it's a sign of your sincerity and courage. If it weren't for the possible danger, I would also suggest that you go yourself. But if anything happens, our responsibility is to protect your safety first. "
The young man waved his hand, "Yes, I understand. I'll go now."
The middle-aged man looked at the staff in his hand and looked up, "I have a suggestion. Please don't reveal your identity for the time being. Don't let anyone know who you are before you rescue the princess and meet her. If the giants know that you're going to rescue her, I'm afraid they'll add another target to their list. If the rescue fails, no one here will recognize you. It won't affect your reputation. "
