Ge Lie suddenly sighed: "Wallet, you are the first among my students to become a great magician, and your achievements in the future are likely to be higher than mine. I have a confession, if this person becomes your friend, If one day I'm gone, you and Raphael must not neglect or despise him."
Hua Laite said in surprise: "Teacher, why do you say such a thing? You are already a ninth-level great magician. Your powerful strength makes you have a vigorous life, which is far longer than the lifespan of ordinary people. In my heart, you Like a god."
Ge Lie sighed again: "Gilgamesh showed you the letter, and you also know my wish. It is almost impossible to realize. I just want to try my best. Even if thousands of years later we have already No, maybe this wish still cannot be realized in the world, but after all, someone has tried it. This is the meaning of existence I am pursuing, do you understand?"
Wallett's expression became serious: "Teacher wants to build a brand new city-state on that thousand-mile-long fertile soil, which will be managed by the surrounding countries and coexist in a compatible manner regardless of race or belief. I'm afraid even the gods will not support this. But I understand what you are for, you have foreseen the never-ending disaster of blood and fire, even if you can’t stop it, you still want to do your best. As long as you think about it, teacher, I will fully support it, and this is also my wish.”
Ge Lie said solemnly: "From the moment I had the ninth-level achievement, I made this vow. I knew in my heart that it would not come true, but I can dedicate my life. As for you and Raphael, there may be another The secret is waiting for you to reveal it, and even I don’t know the answer... The young man named A Luoha is getting more and more familiar to me, if he comes to the city-state of Syria as a guest, you must bring him to see me.”
…
Amon didn't know that Ge Lie had recognized him and was waiting to meet him. He still lived in the city-state after collecting the title deed. This time he didn't look for an inn, but directly bought a courtyard under the name of Aruohe with a lot of money, as a foothold for future trips to the city-state of Syria. In the future, he may have to travel to and from the city-state many times. It is of course more convenient to have his own residence.
After a simple settlement, Amon wandered around the city-state of Syria to get acquainted with this place first. When he walked near the south gate that day, he saw many people gathered on the avenue leading to the city gate, all of them showed excited expressions as if they were waiting for something. After inquiring again, it turned out that the visiting high priest Raphael had returned.
When Raphael left, he didn't disturb anyone, but when he came back, there was a lot of pomp and circumstance. The cape city-state also sent a return envoy and a specially escorted guard to give the high priest the highest standard of courtesy. Amon was looking for Raphael, so he also stood in the crowd to watch the fun.
The guards who guarded the gate lined up to greet them. Raphael's carriage entered the city first, followed by soldiers in bright armor from the cape city-state. In order to show politeness, except for knives and axes, all other weapons were put away. Raphael's eyes are really good. Sitting in the carriage with the hood closed, he waved and smiled to the welcome people. He turned his head and met Amon's eyes. A follower ordered a few words.
At this moment, Amon felt an uncomfortable feeling. It was a sense of resentment and fear, which came from a carriage behind him. In that car was the envoy of the cape city-state, and the people sitting in it could not be seen clearly with the curtain hanging down, but Amon could be sure that someone in the car was staring at him from the corner of the curtain, full of hostility.
Amon wanted to avoid it, and quickly disappeared from the crowd. But Raphael's entourage had already left the convoy and walked over, parting the crowd and saluting to him: "Master Aroha, hello, Lord Raphael sent me to greet you!"
The crowd automatically separated to give Amon an open space, and everyone looked at him with expressions of respect. Amon had no choice but to return the courtesy: "Master Raphael has good eyesight. Among so many people, he can recognize me at a glance. What advice does he send you here?"
The entourage bowed and said, "Master Raphael is very glad that you can come to the city-state of Syria. I wonder if you have met High Priest Wallace?"
Amon shook his head slightly: "I just arrived in the city-state, and I haven't had time to visit yet."
The entourage said again: "In this case, Master Raphael asked me to leave his address, and you are welcome to be a guest. I also want to ask you where you live in the city-state of Syria. He wants to visit in person. If you don't have a place to live, let me Arrange it on your behalf."
While speaking, the convoy had gone far away, and Raphael saw Amon as soon as he entered the city. He was going to the official office with the envoys accompanying the cape city-state, and it was inconvenient to stop, so he specially sent an entourage to greet him to convey his greetings to Amon. Amon thought for a while, and left his address in the city-state of Syria, and there was nothing to keep secret.
The hostile gaze in the second car caught Amon's attention, but he is now a great magician and a great warrior, and he is walking alone, so he is not afraid of anything, even if there is trouble If you can't handle it, you can always escape in this densely populated city-state. Besides, he wanted to see Ge Lie, and Raphael took the initiative to seek him out.
…
As the convoy walked away, Fayol Judah quietly lowered a corner of the car curtain, his face gloomy and lost in thought. He is the envoy of this return visit to the cape city-state, and he has two tasks here. The official duty is to lead the guards to escort Raphael back to the country, to convey the greetings from the cape city-state, to negotiate business and trade matters after the traffic resumes, and to secretly investigate the virtual and real dynamics of the Syrian city-state.
In addition, he also has a personal mission, which was secretly given to him by the great magician Julian. If there were two people in the cape city-state who hated Amon the most, they would be Julian and Judas. The reason why Judah hated Amon was very simple. He once embezzled the money that Rod Dick rewarded Amon, and his actions in Duke Town also indirectly framed Amon.
Judah thought that Amon was just an insignificant little miner, but he didn't expect that Amon would become an important person later. A little person who has been offended and framed by himself suddenly becomes important, which will make people sleepless. I hope that he will be unlucky again, otherwise one day the unlucky one will probably be me. This is the mentality of many people, even though Amon never offended or offended Judas.
As for Julian's hatred for Amon, which has been deeply rooted in his bones, the subordinates sent to hunt down Amon disappeared without a trace, but the saint sent someone to send back the secret letter he sent to the High Priest of Burke, and then sent He was placed far away in the city-state of Syria, causing Julian to suffer. As long as Amon is still alive, he will be like a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, but there is nothing he can do.
After all, Julian is an eighth-level great magician and one of the elders of Eju Theological Academy. Although he is under the jurisdiction of the city lord Rod Dick in name, his actual status is not lower than Rod Dick. The empire is also well-informed and powerful. He couldn't openly offend the saint, but that didn't mean he couldn't offend Amon.
When Amon was in the Temple of Isis, Julian couldn't do anything to him, and now the opportunity finally came. Amon was sent to the city-state of Syria to carry out a secret investigation mission, and Julian also heard about it through his own channels. If a spy like this is caught, he will not be recognized in public. He will either be executed after interrogating the information, or make a private exchange. In short, once Amon is exposed, not only will the mission fail, but nine times out of ten he will lose his identity. killed.
This time Fayol Judah was sent as the envoy for the return visit, which was also specially arranged by Julian.
Sitting in the car, Judas remembered what Lord Julian told him secretly: "When you go to Hatti, besides performing the official duties assigned to you by the city-state, you should also pay attention to another thing. I heard that Amon was killed by Isis. The temple sent a spy mission to the city-state of Syria, if you can find his whereabouts, I think you know what to do?"
Fayol asked a little nervously: "If Amon is exposed and caught, will it affect the major events of the empire and the city-state?"
Julian said with a smile: "He is going to spy on the situation after the flood. As far as I know, the empire has sent more than one secret agent, there are no more than him, and Amon does not know the real military and political secrets. Even if He was captured by accident, and the Eju Empire and the Temple of Isis will not admit it, and there will be no future troubles. Judas, this is a secret between you and me. If you can succeed, it shows that you are a very capable person. I suppose you don't want to be just a clerk forever, do you?"
Judah asked again: "Why did the Temple of Isis send Amon to perform a spy mission?"
Julian sneered and said: "It's nothing more than giving him a chance to be promoted again. The Temple of Isis is facing a change of power. Some people are vigorously cultivating cronies, including me, who belong to the excluded party. But don't forget Even if I am not the high priest of the Temple of Isis, I am also the elder of the Eju Theological Academy. The changes that will take place in the city-state of Syria, the Eju Theological Academy has already made a clear prediction, and has obtained the guidance of the oracle. Amon's mission is irrelevant."
On the way here, Judas was always in a tangled mood. He knew that Lord Julian wanted to get rid of Amon through the hands of Hattie, which was also in line with his wishes, but he always felt a little uneasy. Amon's hope is also very slim. But as soon as he entered the city, he actually saw Amon, what a coincidence! Is there really a guide from the gods
As soon as Judas gritted his teeth, he made a decision to let Amon disappear here forever. After returning, Master Julian will appreciate and reuse him, and there will be no worrying future troubles like Amon.
Ge Lie did not receive envoys from the cape city-state. Governor Xiao Mo held a grand welcome dinner in the mansion, and asked the financial officer to accompany Mr. Judas to have fun in the city-state these few days.
At the same time, Governor Xiao Mo secretly issued an order. The entire city-state still showed a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere, but quietly stepped up its guard and investigation to prevent the infiltrated spies from obtaining important information. Officials at the level of Governor Xiao Mo already knew that the conflict between Hatti and Eju was approaching, but it was not yet time for a complete showdown. The more this is the case, the more superficial the article must be, and the more enthusiastic the hospitality for the envoy from Ecu will be.
On that very night, the captain of the guards in charge of patrolling the city-state, Reis Muen, received a secret report that a secret agent from the Eju Empire had sneaked into the city-state to spy on the military situation after inspecting the strategic terrain around the Blackfire Forest. But it happened to be recognized. The report also included the address of this secret agent. This person is called A Luo He. A few days ago, he bought a house in the city-state as a base for secret activities.
Before the two countries prepared for war, this kind of spy infiltration was very common. The Kingdom of Hatti also sent many spies to the Eju Empire to perform tasks in the name of business or other. strict.
Mu En didn't know whether the secret report was true or not, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately rushed to the house with a team of personal soldiers, and quietly blocked the intersections at both ends in the night, and the heavily armed soldiers surrounded the house to prevent leakage and prevent The spy took advantage of the chaos to escape, and then brought some elite men to the door, ready to arrest Aruohe himself.
Muen is the captain of the personal guards of the city-state of Syria, and he is in charge of three personal guards. Usually, the three captains take turns to be responsible for patrolling the city. But today, the governor ordered Muen to go into battle in person to show his respect, but he just happened to be in time. On this matter, luck is really good.
Mu En's background is also somewhat special. Two years ago, he was just a small leader of a station in the Black Fire Forest, and his subordinates only managed a dozen or so soldiers stationed at the station.
In that great flood, Duke Town and all the post stations in the Blackfire Forest were washed away. Only Mi En quickly led the soldiers to the highest boulder nearby and tied everyone together with a belt. Shrubs await rescue. The great magician Ge Lie drove the blue boat deep into the flood to Duke Town, and rescued them on the way. The group of soldiers were the only survivors in the flood.
No matter when he was in distress or when he was rescued, Mu En commanded well, whether it was frightened or pleasantly surprised, the soldiers under his command had always maintained discipline under his orders, and there was no panic at all, and they did not disturb Song on the blue boat. Lie was praised and appreciated by Ge Lie. After returning to the city, Ge Lie specially recommended Mu En to Xiao Mo, and he has been reused ever since.
When Xiao Mo led the crowd to ambush Rod Dick's convoy, he lost a personal squad. Of course, it needed to be rebuilt. Mu En became a small team leader, and later called a sub-team leader. Just a few months ago, Muen broke through level seven and became a great warrior, and was promoted to be the captain of the personal guard of the entire Syrian city-state, responsible for protecting the safety of the governor and maintaining the order of the city-state.
After becoming a great warrior, Mu En possessed the status of aristocrat and served as the captain of the city-state's personal guard. His status was far beyond that of the small head of the post station back then. He is deeply grateful to Gelie, this great magician saved him and recommended him, not only for saving his life but also for knowing him.
Because of this, Mu En fulfilled his duties, and as a great warrior, he would personally arrest a small secret agent. Judas, the envoy of the cape city-state, is still here as a guest, so everything must be done in secret.
It was very quiet at night, and the location of Aruohe's house was also very secluded, the streets had long been emptied and martial law was enforced. Mu En checked it with satisfaction, and then came to the door, drew out his weapon, and kicked the door open.
Under the feet of a great samurai, the thick wooden door was as fragile as a piece of paper, and it shattered and scattered without even making a loud sound. Mu En held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, and he was the first to walk in. The front yard was empty, and the windows of the hall revealed lights, so the people inside probably hadn't rested yet.
Mu En didn't talk nonsense, he took a weapon and walked towards the door under the guard of his own soldiers, raised his foot and kicked the door away. This kick was very heavy, the door panel was not broken, but the door shaft was broken and shot directly into the house. If someone was hiding behind the door and peeping, they would fall into the room with the door panel.
Mu En's shield and long sword were shining brightly, and guards on both sides with round shields and spear guns stretched into the door from left to right to block the flanks, and they cooperated very skillfully. According to common sense, after the heavy door panel fell to the ground, Captain Mu En should give a majestic shout and announce his name, explaining his intention to get the spy to surrender voluntarily.
Seeing this kind of scene, and the great warrior Mu En leading people to arrest him personally, it's no wonder that a little spy is so frightened!
But a stunned thing happened. Just as Mu En kicked the door away to see the scene inside, he threw away the weapon and knelt down to salute with a plop. The guards on both sides immediately put down their weapons and knelt outside the door. The armor on their bodies made a light and crisp sound of collision. The three of them said in unison: "Damn it, I disturbed your old man in the middle of the night!"
The soldiers behind all showed astonishment, put down their weapons and knelt together in the courtyard without saying a word.
Sure enough, there were people in the room, not one but four. There was an old man sitting face to face with a young man, without even raising his eyelids, as if he didn't hear any sound. There were two other people sitting side by side at the table, and they happened to be facing the door. They saw Mu En kicking in the door, made a stop gesture and showed a stern look. They were the two high priests of the city-state of Syria, Wallet. with Raphael.
The kicked door turned into countless fragments in mid-air, and flew all over the ground, but not even a single piece fell on the table and the four people. That young man is of course the "secret agent" A Luo He that Mu En wants to capture tonight, and the old man opposite A Luo He is unexpectedly Ge Lie, these two are playing chess!
What they played was an ancient army battle beast chess. This kind of chess used various beast-shaped chess pieces to replace different types of troops. They formed formations on a large chessboard to restrain each other and fight each other. The calculation was very complicated, and only a few people Can play and understand. And the way these two people play is even more peculiar, there is no chessboard and chess pieces at all, and the light and shadow of the army battle beast chess appear in the void on the table. The chessboard changes and beasts fight each other, completely demonstrating the chess game with superb magic.
Muen has also heard of this kind of trick, and only a great magician can do it. Needless to say, Ge Lie, but the young man opposite him is also a great magician!
