056, the tone of the gods

056, the tone of the god

Princess Xiao Qian made a gesture, and the warrior put down the slide rod. She refused to help her walk down and said to Yusier and others: "If it is just me, I can forgive you, but your behavior cannot be indulged, and you must be severely punished. I think you live in the mountains and wilderness and have not been educated and guided. I want to give you a chance to reform, which is also a punishment. If I am willing to accept it, I can not send a large army to wipe you out."

Yusir knelt down and replied, "We sincerely regret it and are willing to accept the punishment and teachings of His Highness the Princess!"

Princess Xiao Qian stood there, her weak figure had an indescribable majesty, and she said slowly: "In order to maintain the dignity of the kingdom laws, you will be exiled from the Kish city-state, leave the villages where you live, burn down everything in the houses and tribes, and never commit the same crime again," she said.

This one is cruel enough, but it cannot be refused. The Giant Tribe itself does not do it, and the city-state army will do the same. Yusir replied happily: "All tribes here will burn down the villages in the mountains and gather their tribes to move to the distance."

The princess nodded with satisfaction, pressed her chest with one hand, pointed to the clouds with the other hand, and said, "In the name of the great God of Marduk, you and your tribesmen must follow the education of the Kingdom of Barron, sacrifice to the gods, and be loyal to the kingdom. No matter where you migrate, build a village where you stop and build a temple of Marduk and accept the guidance of the gods."

Hearing this, everyone next to him was stunned. No one could refute the construction of a temple to sacrifice to the great god Malduk. However, doing so involves a very realistic issue in the secular world. No matter which country the temple is built, it requires official approval and appointment of priests. The priests of the temple are also one of the local chief executives and have the identity of a kingdom noble.

Just as Prince Feng Nuo was about to interrupt, the mayor Diqi whispered a few words to him. The prince nodded and did not say anything again. Usir once told Diqi that he was a second-level magician and had records in the main temple of Marduk in Barron City, which seemed to be true. If this is the case, it would meet the conditions that Princess Xiao Qian said, but the procedure for appointing the kingdom was unreasonable. Can you still get such a reward if you kidnapped the princess?

Princess Xiao Qian seemed to be aware of the doubts of Prince Feng Nuo and others, and then said: "Building a formal temple and appointing a priest requires the recognition of the kingdom, which is a reward for you. But don't misunderstand, I have a difficult and dangerous mission to hand over to you. If it can be completed, it will not only be able to atone for sins, but also receive the reward of the kingdom."

Usir raised his head and said, "What is the task that His Highness Princess has to complete? Since my tribe and I have pleaded guilty, we will sincerely accept the punishment and serve you and the kingdom!"

Princess Xiao Qian walked straight over and stretched out her hand to separate the warrior who was trying to block the guard in front of her. Her courage was really admirable! She walked to Yusir, took out a velvet book from her arms and handed it to him, "The difficult task is to punish you, all written on it, and the forgiveness and reward after completing the task are also here, take it!... Before sunrise tomorrow, I will take the tribe members to burn the village and move to the distance, and no one is allowed to stay!"

Yusir respectfully raised his hands over his head and took the book. He stepped back with his knees and lowered his head and said, "As for order!"

He took the giants away, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Everyone knew that as soon as the princess returned to the city-state, there would inevitably be an army to wipe out these giant tribes. However, the significance of escaping by themselves was completely different from accepting the princess' punishment. The princess ordered them to burn the villages and move them tomorrow before sunrise, and the army of the city-state could not arrive so quickly.

This is the majesty of Princess Xiao Qian. She was surrounded by the giant tribe, but with her superb courage and charm, these barbarians obeyed the king and voluntarily received punishment. What an admirable and admirable achievement. I don’t know who was the first to start cheering, and then the cheers rang out, and people were praising the princess.

Peili looked very satisfied. This was a play. Although it was not performed completely according to the original plan, the last scene was successful. No one knew what task Princess Xiao Qian had assigned to the Giant Tribe, but it was not easy to ask on such occasions. Everyone surrounded the princess and returned to Akkade Town.

Princess Xiao Qian and Prince Feng Nuo arrived at the small market town at the same time, and the warriors in the town became the heroes of the kingdom. This is an unprecedented glory in the town of Akkad, and this day is destined to be a grand festival! People spontaneously carnival, and excited cheers and praises can be heard in every corner of the town.

More than half of the various daily necessities in the town were collected overnight. If they were not replenished as soon as possible, it would affect the residents' wintering. The farm tools and livestock must be fully compensated before spring, otherwise it would affect the farming in the coming year. Princess Xiao Qian generously stated that she would bear all this and immediately sent an envoy to Kish City State to purchase it with a list, and returned it to the residents of Akkad Town.

Although the Giant Tribe wants a lot of things, they are not expensive. The sum is only worth dozens of divine stones. If it is in a big city, it will be fully purchased soon. In addition, Princess Xiao Qian also provided the list of all warriors participating in the rescue to Kish City State and ordered commendation, the mayor Diqi and Zhou Jinjue, two levels!

Diqi Zhou's current position is still the mayor, but his identity is already comparable to that of the governing officials in the city-state. In addition to the city-state, each city-state also has a Finance Department, Archives Department, Judicial Department, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department and other institutions to manage government affairs. The chiefs of each department are called Finance Department, Clerk, Judicial Department, Property Office..., and the deputy chiefs of each department are Diqi Zhou's current level.

All this has just begun. He was appreciated and cultivated by His Highness the Princess, and Mayor Diqi's future is bright.

There are several heroes in the rescue team who need special rewards, namely the warriors temporarily recruited by Mayor Dici. Feng Nuo and his entourage do not need it. That is the royal family's own business, but Medanzo and Amon must thank them again.

Diqi Zhou cleaned his house and let Princess Xiao Qian move in. He also asked the town's main priest to clear his courtyard and asked Prince Feng Nuo to stay. The place where Princess Xiao Qian met and commended the two warriors was in the temple in the town, which was the partial hall with the relief of Goddess Mu Yun.

They were called in alone to receive a cordial meeting with His Highness Princess. First of all, Amon. After the salute, the princess gave him a seat and looked at him with a smile and asked, "This warrior, your name is Amon, right? Where do you come from? The kingdom needs talents like you, and I want to thank you for a hero like you."

Princess Xiao Qian sat in front of her, and the magician Peili stood beside the princess, behind her was the relief of Goddess Mu Yun. Amon felt as if he was penetrated by various eyes, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He bowed and replied: "I am a hunter from the deep mountains. I practice physical skills to capture prey, and I am used to traveling through the mountains. This time, I was recruited by Mayor Diqi to rescue His Highness the princess, and the princess's majesty convinced the giant tribe. I am ashamed that I did not do much power."

Princess Xiao Qian waved her hand and said, "Don't say that. Without the guards of all the warriors, I will not return safely. What kind of reward do you want to get? As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely give it as much as possible."

Peili 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 the princess' rewards, but just the thanks of the city-state. I don't know if it's more convenient for you to use divine stones or gold coins. You can take away one of them at will."

Amon was not polite and said thank you and reached out to take away forty gold coins. Peili's eyes were a little confused but he didn't say anything. Princess Xiao Qian still looked at him with a smile and asked kindly: "My warrior Amon, you haven't said you want to get any reward."

Amon shook his head and said, "I accept the recruitment of the mayor by voluntarily and do not need your extra reward from Princess."

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

Peili reminded on the side: "Amun, this is not your own business. If you don't accept the princess's thanks, what should you do if you call other warriors? If the princess doesn't thank the warriors who rescued her, what do you want the people of the kingdom to discuss? It depends on the princess' reputation, you must accept it."

Princess Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Pei Li, you don't have to say that it is so strict. Amon is just a hunter in the mountains and doesn't understand many things." She said to Amon with a happy look, "My warrior, I really want to thank you. Please tell me, what do you want most in your heart?"

Amon looked up at her eyes and said, "Beautiful princess, thank you for your generosity. If you have to answer, I can tell you... Not long ago, I went to the capital and saw your fiancé Gilgamesh bringing gifts to the city and giving you three Hoba snake tendons and twelve long teeth. It is said that they are the best weapons for the warriors. If one day in the future, I can do more for you, hoping to get a snake tendon and a snake tooth."

Peili's face changed and angry. The rustic samurai warrior made too much request! He scolded: "That is a gift from the princess's fiancé. How can you ask for it?"

Amon quickly explained: "I don't want His Highness to give me now, but when one day in the future, I can do more for the princess and get such thanks, please ask the princess to agree to this request. Since the princess asked, this is what I think in my heart, and I don't want anything else."

Princess Xiao Qian was stunned for a while when she finally waved her hand and smiled, "Pei Li, don't be angry, he is telling the truth...Among, I promise your request. When one day your actions can be thanked for like this, I will give you a snake tendon and a tooth from Hombaba, and explain the story of the matter to Gilgamesh...Okay, you go back and let Medanzo come in."

Amon bowed and was about to go out, when Princess Xiao Qian suddenly called him again and said, "Amon, I heard that you are a level 5 warrior. I'm sorry I didn't see you showing off your skills. Can you demonstrate it?" As she said that, Peili had already handed over a short knife, which was an ordinary table knife for cutting meat.

It is rude to move weapons in front of the princess, and it is also an offensive act without permission. Amon took the knife and retreated to the door, gently waved it to the side, and a faint light came from the blade, and the sound of air bursting came from the void. Then he quickly put the knife away and carefully put it back on the table.

Peili nodded with satisfaction: "It's indeed a level 5 physical technique. Thank you, you can step down."

After Amon left, Peili said with some confusion: "It seems that he is not the magician. Physical skills and magicians cannot be practiced at the same level. Even if he has undergone the secondary awakening of power, he can only learn some auxiliary low-level magicians. The person who sent signals in the mountains that night used the information magician so skillfully, at least he was a level six magician. Could it be Medanzo?"

Princess Xiao Qian also smiled: "Among is really not like it. Haven't you tried it? He took gold coins but did not take divine stones. This is not the habit of a magician... This person is really interesting. He dared to look me in the eyes when he spoke, but he didn't feel unnatural at all. He asked for something like a god."

Peili sneered and said, "The country buns in the country have no knowledge and dare to say anything. The princess doesn't have to be angry with him."

Princess Xiao Qian smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I just think this person is very interesting."

When Medanzo came in, Princess Xiao Qian asked him to show the skills of a Level 4 warrior first. Medanzo took the knife and gestured proudly several times, then handed it back to Peili. When the gold coins and the divine stone were brought up, Medanzo took the divine stone without thinking, because it was easier to carry.

When Princess Xiao Qian asked him what he wanted to thank him most, Medanzo thought for a long time, left the table and knelt down and saluted: "I'm not to be hiding this princess, I am a resident of Barron City. My great-grandfather is a level 6 magician in the Temple of Malduck. However, over the long years, my family has lost glory. By my generation, not only has the territory and hereditary titles been lost, but also the status of a noble. The ancestors' last wishes, I hope that future generations can find the glory of the family. Please give me advice, what should I do?"

Princess Xiao Qian looked at Medanzo and smiled happily: "Although I do not have real power, as a kingdom princess, you can give you the status of a nobleman. You have made such a merit as long as I return to the kingdom and say hello. From today on, you are Lord Medanzo, and you can exempt the taxes of civilians. However, if you want to officially obtain the registry, you still need to return to the kingdom. As for the hereditary titles and territory of your ancestors, it is not so easy to restore, unless you can make real merits for the kingdom in the future."

Medanzo said gratefully: "Yes, I understand that as long as the princess can restore my noble status, it will be enough. Everything in the future will depend on myself."

Princess Xiao Qian asked again: "You can follow my convoy back to Barron City, or you can take the documents signed by me to go directly to the archivist. I will not stay in this town for a long time, and I will leave the day after tomorrow through the Kish city. Are the brave warriors willing to protect me all the way to the capital? You are a witness to the incident here, and I hope to take you back to the capital."

Medanzo replied: "I am willing to follow the princess back to the capital, but I have made an appointment with my friends to go far away. I happened to pass by Akkad Town. I still need the permission of my friends if I leave without permission, otherwise I will not keep my promise."

Princess Xiao Qian blinked and said, "Oh, is your friend referring to Amon? Then you can discuss it with him and say it's what I mean. I'll set off the day after tomorrow, and you decide that you can follow me at that time."

When Medanzo stood up and was about to leave, Princess Xiao Qian called him again and asked, "My Lord, how did you meet Amon, and how could he become friends? He claimed to be a hunter in the mountains, how could he meet you?"

Medanzo was a little embarrassed, but he replied cautiously: "I am not afraid of the princess' jokes. I used to go to the deep mountains of the Youdi River Valley to trade materials with those dwarf tribes who are good at smelting, making some money to maintain the family income. I met Amon in the mountains."

Peili asked with interest: "Is Amon also a dwarf?"

Medanzo replied: "No, I was attacked by a beast in the mountains and almost died. He happened to pass by and saved me. That's how we met."

Princess Xiao Qian's eyes lit up, and she stood up and said, "My Lord, if you have a good relationship with those dwarf tribes, I have a glorious mission to hand over to you, and I will have the opportunity to restore your family lineage title and noble territory in the future."

Medanzo looked up excitedly and said, "The relationship is quite good. I am a life-and-death friend with a large dwarf tribe. What glorious mission does the princess want to give me?"

Princess Xiao Qian was not in a hurry to say anything, and waved her hand and said, "When you return to the capital, you can come to me directly and report your name. If you follow me back, that would be even better... You can leave and arrange your own affairs first."

After Medanzo went out, Peli frowned and said, "It seems that he is not that magician either. He is indeed a real level 4 warrior. So if someone is secretly spying on us, be careful of all actions. It is wise to return to the king immediately. Your plan is beneficial to the king. You are not afraid of being known by the king, but you cannot be learned by your political enemies before the plan is implemented."

Princess Xiao Qian nodded calmly and said, "Maybe the king sent me to secretly protect me, both as a protector and as a supervisor. Please be careful during this period and see if you can find this person. We pretend not to know for the time being."

Peili asked again: "You sent Yusir to lead the Plateau Giant Tribe to plan. Do you also want to use this Medanzo to use the dwarf tribe? We have just met this person and cannot be sure whether it is reliable."
