Chapter 58

Diqi was very dissatisfied with the answer: "of course, everything has been sent. Don't you see the motorcade outside? But I'm here to redeem people, not to give gifts. When the things are here, you should let Xiaoxi go, right? I want to see all of them! " The scene in front of me is not the same as what I imagined. These people don't mention Princess Xiaoxi at all. The kidnapping is not like this.

Eusil said with a smile, "don't worry. You must be tired from a long journey. Please sit down and eat something. Of course, the princess of the kingdom is OK, but I have to find out whether the things you sent are what we want

Some people have set up game, dried fruit and wine on the table. It looks like a treat to eat. Amun and others did not sit down. How could they have the heart to eat here? Dickie took a roll of straw paper from his arms and handed it to eusil. "Everything is on it. Do you want to count it?"

Eusil took the roll and just unfolded it. There was a big man beside him who was very angry and said, "it's all on it! We've spent so much time on this piece of paper? Show me

Eusil looked a little embarrassed and turned his head and exclaimed, "what are you talking about? This is a list of items registered on the outside of the carriage, can be compared to count! Let me show you. Do you know Chinese I've already reminded you that if you don't talk nonsense, you won't lose face, but you can't remember it! "

If another occasion, Amun might laugh, but he couldn't laugh. Eusil began to read aloud the contents of the list: bread, meat, seeds, farm tools, cloth Wait, there's a lot of clutter. Every time he read one item, the plateau giants cheered. Some people still asked in an unbelievable voice, "really, are these things for us? Great

The mayor of Diqi replied, "of course, it's for you, as long as Princess Xiaoxi is safe and sound." The giants cheered again: "princess? Of course she's OK. All these things are ours Hearing this, Diqi and other people were relieved. As long as the princess was safe, everything else would be easy to do.

The last item in the list was a large sum of money. The mayor of Diqi asked, "the things are very clear, but how much do you want?"? The messenger did not say the number. "

A giant with a wild animal's tail on his head interposed: "of course, a large amount of money, how can I get 30 gold coins?"

On hearing this, amon almost didn't reach for the table. Thirty gold coins are really a lot of money for ordinary people, but they kidnap the princess of the Kingdom, let the other party bring a large group of chariots and horses, and ask for a pile of worthless things. As a result, they only extort 30 gold coins in cash. If she heard it, she would jump up in anger! ——Is she so worthless? Although all the things sent by the motorcade are not valuable, they are in large quantities, which add up to more than 30 gold coins.

"What? You want thirty gold coins Even if Diqi was calm, he couldn't help calling out.

The giant who cut in touched his big head: "too much? So You have to ask for twenty gold coins

Eusil glared at the giant who interrupted and drank, "what's more? Is the princess of Baron worth this money?"

Another giant with a ring on his nose said cleverly, "that is, what you want is too little. How can twenty gold coins be enough? At least fifty gold coins

Diqi and others were silent. Their expressions were strange. But eusil's nose was so crooked that he almost didn't fall off the stool. He patted the table and said, "you only want fifty gold coins?"

The giants finally realized that the fifty gold coins were still too few. Another giant with tattoos on his forehead said in an impassioned voice: "I've told you not to talk nonsense and to be shameful! If I were, I would have a hundred gold coins! " This group of plateau giants are not stupid. They start to raise prices after seeing the situation is wrong.

Diqi mayor quickly waved his hand: "a hundred gold coins are 100 gold coins. I gave them, but they are so much that they can't go up any more! But I don't have so many gold coins with me. I'll give you five sacred stones. " He did not bring gold coins, but all God's stones. When he saw this scene, he also acted according to circumstances and promised to pay a "huge sum" of 100 gold coins.

Amun also saw that this group of plateau giants had not fully discussed in advance. The material is what they want, but the money is not considered. These giants should come from different tribes. Their costumes have their own characteristics. They have tail, nose ring and tattoo. They can be distinguished by a little attention. The giants in the tent are all the leaders of the tribe. The three leaders who spoke just now should be the chief leaders of each tribe, equivalent to the role of clan leader.

It's really a headache to organize these people to act together. It's a headache to see eusil.

When the giants heard that the mayor of Diqi wanted to give five sacred stones, they quarreled again: "five sacred stones? How can we divide the three tribes! Who will take one or two? "

They spoke so loud that the tent was buzzing. Usil could not hear it. He drew a short stick from his waist and knocked on the table. "No quarrel, I has the final say, six gods, two tribes of each one!" Then he rushed to Diqi mayor and said, "the last condition is six sacred stones. Please hand them in quickly."The six sacred stones were much less than the mayor of Diqi had predicted in advance, but he did not dare to take them out too happily. He yelled in discontent: "you are too much to raise from 20 gold coins to 6 Magic stones! In order to save the princess, I can give you money first. " He put six sacred stones on the table one by one, and the three leaders took them away on the spot. They held them in their hands and looked left and right. They were very happy.

Eusil glared at them fiercely. His eyes were full of resentment. He said to the mayor of Diqi: "you have paid for the money. What's left should be handed over one by one?"

Medanzo, who had never said anything, couldn't help it. He began to drink: "after all, you always want things. Where is Xiaoxi princess? Give her out safe and sound, then you can get the things. "

Eusil shook his head and said, "no, no, no, what if you take Princess Xiaoxi away and regret not to give something?"

The magician Jackie also interposed: "this is your territory. Everything has been sent to the mountain. How can it be so easy to take away? We have sincerity, but you can't negotiate like this. First of all, let us know where Xiaoxi is and make sure she is safe

A tribal leader took up the stone and said, "of course, the princess is safe. She's ok now. But if we want us to bring people, she has to promise herself."

Hearing this, Diqi and other people were shocked. Eusil knocked on the table again and said, "if you don't talk, shut up, or I won't care!"

Seeing that eusil was really angry, the three big leaders quickly nodded their heads and said, "OK, we won't say anything. We'll listen to you. You said that we could get all the things we wanted with one message. As expected, someone sent them up the mountain. From now on, everyone will listen to your orders. " Then he called to the little leaders behind him, "shut up, all of you, and listen only to Lord eusil."

When the tent finally quieted down, eusil said to Tyche, "I only saw this list. The materials on the list have not been counted. I have to know whether all the things have been delivered in full As for the princess of the Kingdom, as long as we get everything, we will definitely let her go. "

For some reason, the mayor of Diqi no longer wanted to entangle with eusil, nor insisted on seeing Princess Xiaoxi first. He thought for a moment and replied, "you can count the materials first. I think there are three tribes here. First count them and divide them into three parts, and then send someone to transport them away When you really need to deliver things, hand over the princess and her entourage. Is that ok Send someone to check the things first, and we'll go back to the motorcade and wait. "

They finally ended the negotiation and returned to the team. Youleduo anxiously welcomed them and asked, "what's up? See the princess? Is she OK? "

Jackie waved his hand and said, "the situation has changed. Princess Xiaoxi may not be in their hands. Let's discuss it in the back."

Just after listening to the disorderly conversation of the plateau giants, Amun and other four people were not fools. They had already noticed the flaw - those tribes should not have caught Princess Xiaoxi. The situation was like the letter from the wounded warrior. Princess Qian was trapped in a valley, and the giant tribe was anxious for something, so she sent messengers to the town to blackmail. It's not easy to organize these people to act together. It should be eusil who led the way.

Back in the middle of the motorcade, everyone hid behind a carriage to discuss. Youledu asked the mayor of Diqi: "in this case, why do you still agree to let them check the materials?"

The mayor of Diqi said with a wry smile: "they didn't catch Princess Xiaoxi. This is just our guess. Even so, the princess must still be besieged and unable to get out of it You don't see how the plateau giants negotiate today. I'm afraid they can't even count their fingers. How long does it take them to sort things out and divide them up? "

Amun agreed: "it's going to be dark. They want to count these materials, at least until tomorrow morning. With these things to attract their attention, we can take advantage of the night quietly to explore the situation, at least to determine the location of Princess Qian, whether she is safe? "

Medanzo nodded in agreement: "yes, it should be done. We know where Princess Xiaoxi is, and we can touch the nearby high place under the cover of darkness. Although the warriors of the giant tribe are fierce, they can still bypass the guards in the dark. If they can release Xiaoxi, everything will be fine. If we go back on our promises, we can help them out. "

Youledu pondered: "if you kidnap a princess of the Kingdom, you must be severely punished! If we do not bear the serious consequences, if we can get a large ransom, we can only encourage and connive at this kind of behavior. We must send the army of the city-state to destroy them. But these are later words. At present, the safety of the princess is the most important thing, and it is the best to avoid conflict. "

The mayor of Diqi opened a volume, which was the topographic Atlas of the city-state collected by Akkad Town, which marked the position of Princess Xiaoxi being besieged. It is an open valley with a steep peak on its back. The mountains on both sides are encircled. The entrance of the valley is narrow. The terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack. However, it is difficult to break through if it is blocked. With the help of flying objects, such as advanced air scrolls, we should also guard against the crossbows and arrows in the giant tribe, which can not let the princess take risks.Mayor Diqi's plan is to walk through the mountains under the cover of night and climb the peaks on both sides of the valley. If it is confirmed that Princess Xiaoxi is still safe, don't worry and act rashly. After the appointed time, the giant tribe did not release the princess, so they raided the princess from both sides to meet the princess. After Diqi rescued the princess, the route of retreat was also arranged, but there were some differences in the assignment of specific tasks.

Diqi mayor himself wanted to go, but Jack and Amun insisted that he stay, because he was the leader of this group of people. He had to supervise the other party to count materials and negotiate with each other at any time. If he left, it would certainly arouse eusil's suspicion, and finally decided to go to Amun and others.

Youleduo insisted on going there in person this time, and Jackie had to nod his head. In this way, Jackie insisted that the five members of his party should form a team and act alone. He said that they should be familiar with each other and be good at cooperation with each other, and it would be inconvenient to take other people along.

This is more or less an excuse. Jackie doesn't want to expose the identity of youleduo. In case of any situation, the "Royal Highness" should be protected first. The five of them had been well trained and cooperated with each other skillfully. Obviously, Jackie didn't pay attention to the ordinary middle-level warriors, and didn't want to take Amun and madanzo as the two encumbrances.

The result of the discussion was that the soldiers were divided into two groups. Five people, including Jackie, and Amun and medanzo, touched the mountain from the left and right sides. If the princess is found safe after dawn, she will hide quietly. The time appointed by Diqi was noon tomorrow. At that time, everything should be counted in any case, and the giant tribe should also order the release of people. If they don't let people go, they can only save people and cover the princess to leave.

With a skillful diviner as the leader, walking on the mountain night road has a great advantage. Detection of divinity can find out the ambush position of those plateau giants in advance, and can walk around quietly. No matter how many giants besieged the princess, they couldn't keep close to all the places. Such a large mountain can always sneak around.

However, during one night's arduous trek, he always used divinity to detect all kinds of complex terrain, and found all potential enemies from a long distance without negligence. This is not what ordinary magicians can do. I'm afraid Jackie is the only one in this team.

The mayor of Diqi also wanted to send a magician to accompany Amun and medanzo. Amun said with a smile: "I'm a hunter in the mountains. I'm used to chasing wild animals in the mountains and detecting all kinds of dangers. That's why I dare to walk into the mountain at night and feel it quietly. It's impossible for a general magician to walk on such a road. If you are not careful, you may fall off the cliff. Only a strong warrior can have this strength and skill. I'll take medanzo with me

Amun's words are very reasonable. The mayor of Diqi did not insist any more. He could only wish them good luck and tell them to be careful. Amun, a level five magician, is better than Jackie's level six magician. This is his usual habit. Therefore, Amun didn't want to be with others. It was inconvenient to use divine arts like that. He would also expose his identity as a magician.

Jackie Ben didn't expect anything from the two men, but out of good intentions, he warned medanzo: "this is not a fight on the battlefield. Wearing heavy armor, climbing is a burden. Even if your armor is light, the sound of metal collision will reveal your position, and the shield is not suitable for carrying. Your spear is not a weapon for fighting in the jungle. If you have to carry it, I suggest smearing it with mud first, because it will reflect light at night. "

Jackie is a teacher of Baron theological Academy. He teaches not only divinity, but also various combat skills and matters needing attention. He gives systematic guidance and training to students. His words Amun deeply thought, let medanzo leave the armor and shield to Diqi mayor. After leaving, he put away the shuttle gun, and Amun replaced madanzo with an axe and a suit of soft armor under his clothes.

As for Amun himself, he did not wear armor to take other weapons, but was still on a stick shaped like a branch.

The two rescue teams left one after another and went down the mountain to circle the dense forest without being found by anyone. The giant tribe also sent people to check the supplies. The leaders were the leaders. Eusil stood by to supervise the statistics. The mayor of Diqi accompanied him with the clerk. The scene was chaotic and noisy after unloading and sorting out those things.

The mayor of Diqi didn't send anyone to help him. He let these plateau giants do it by themselves. It was enough for them to be busy until dawn. Many torches were lit on the plateau at night, which made the open land as bright as day, and the surrounding mountains were extremely dark.

Without mentioning how to count the goods and materials on the mountain, Amun took medanzo down the mountain first, crossed the mountains and made a detour up to the location specified in the map. Medanzo has visited the cave dwelling savage tribes in the mountains many times. Now he is also a third level magician. He should pay attention to the condition under his feet and walk as well as in the daytime. The disciples taught by Amun are different from other magicians. They don't use the staff when they are not in a critical situation. They also use divine arts to help them, even if they are just for shelter from the wind and rain.

As for Amun himself, not to mention that he was better at walking mountain roads at night than a great magician. In case of emergency, he also used his iron staff to monitor the situation around him.They wanted to go around to the other side of the valley where Princess Xiaoxi was trapped, and walked a long way, but they arrived much earlier than Jackie and others. By midnight, they had already climbed the ridge on the side of the valley. Looking from a high place, a group of people were stationed in the middle of the valley, and the light of the campfire could be seen in the night.

Amun felt a little strange, because when he climbed the ridge, he didn't find anyone on guard around here. In order to be cautious, he asked medanzo to find a place to hide. He carried his staff to spy along the ridge, and found the guard giant warrior near the mouth of the valley.

On this side of the mountain where Amun was, there were seven or eight giant warriors, with bows and arrows in their arms and sticks beside them, sleeping. Amun did not disturb them, but quietly retreated to his original position.
