Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon The pursuers continued on and arrived at the city of Djanet before sunset. Havon was indeed a good hunter. He successfully identified Amon’s hoof prints and located his horse not far from the north gate of the city — Amon had left the horse outside the city and walked through the gate on his own. His footprints couldn’t be found on the paved streets. The trail was lost! Djanet was not a big city. There were only about…-

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Compared to Amon, Vitru was more skilled in magic and better equipped, while Havon was more advanced in body arts and better at tracking. Additionally, they knew much more about Ejypt. They had finally managed to figure out Amon’s plan and destination. The situation was dire! After they entered the mountains on the east side of the Nile River, Vitru stopped using Sheuthe Tuspir. Exhausted, he no longer wished to expend his…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Vitru had asked Amon how he could perform advanced body arts and advanced magic at the same time. It was indeed Amon’s greatest secret. His nerves tensed to the extreme, then suddenly relaxed. He bowed and replied, “I didn’t expect to see you here, Lord Vitru! Perhaps you could tell me… How did those trash of the Ramose clan manage to track me down? There must surely be a genius tracker in your…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Intriguingly, Amon found something in common between the strings and the Aquaticores. Certainly, they couldn’t be used as parangons, but Amon guessed that once processed into whips or bowstrings, they could enhance the power of water magics. They could be extremely useful in a naval battle. Amon decided to study the string in his bag more carefully once he settled down in the capital city. Perhaps it could be processed into his first artefact.…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon “He’s Metatro’s friend," Mirieh replied coldly. "Metatro informed me to let him stay at the house and treat him well when he comes to visit. Metatro he has been away for far too long. I’ve been running out of money… I have to turn to you. What makes you come so late?” “Business is bad these days. I just laid in a new stock of goods and I’m strapped for cash too. I come to you as soon as I start to sell my goods and get my…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon After breakfast, Mirieh invited Amon out with great enthusiasm and asked Fossah to accompany him once again. She gave a considerable sum of money to Fossah and said to Amon, “You’re too kind to have bought so many things for us. If you need anything, please just tell Fossah and she will buy it for you.” Fossah clung to his arm tightly and smiled, “The capital is larger than you think. Many gardens are actually open to commoners. There are…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon The immediate life-threatening danger preceded his mind from having other thoughts. Instead of worrying about his sorcerer identity, what mattered now was to save his own life. The ice shield formed by water magic was, unfortunately, not very effective. It was not even widely acknowledged as defensive magic. But water magic was the first magic that Amon had learnt and could cast without a thought. Besides, he was in the middle of a river. Water was…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Why was Amon travelling in disguise? Why hadn’t he revealed that he could use magic? Because he wasn’t a mage, he was a sorcerer! The ferry owner’s question drew the crowd’s curiosity. Amon had to reply, “I’m on an important mission that involves the secrets of the gods. So I have to travel in disguise. Please don’t ask me anything about this or tell others about what you’ve heard and seen today!” Oh, so he was a…

Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Inanna spoke as if she was afraid, but her face didn’t show a hint of fear. Instead, she watched Amon, interested, with the shadow of a smile. Amon wrung his neck, “Why would I do that? It’s not a bad thing to save the lives of an entire crew! Inanna, can you tell me who exactly was the herdsman outside Som? You seem to know this lash is made from the string of the monster in the river. Why didn’t you remind me? Were you also aware that…

<<Previous Chapter Translator: Snorri Proofreader: theunfetteredsalmon Thinking back on the conversation between Inanna and Gilgamesh yesterday, Amon realised that there was more hidden information on the deities in it. From what he understood, the relations between Marduc and Enlil didn’t appear to be peaceful. Humbaba, as the gatekeeper of Enlil’s realm, hoped to have his own shrine built in Uruk so as to enable himself to own a realm too, however, he was refused by Gilgamesh. What was a…
