The whole mind of the two chess players seems to have merged into the changing chess game of light and shadow, indifferent to the movement of the outside world, and continued to play chess wholeheartedly. Wallett and Raphael watched the chess without saying a word. If the chess game is the battlefield, they are the ones who are on the sidelines.
Ge Lie sat still, and Mu En didn't dare to speak. The whole courtyard fell into a strange silence. It was supposed to be menacing, but the scene became so absurd, making people dumbfounded. Mu En couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart, whoever told the secret, didn't find out clearly, let himself kick open the door of Master Gelie's chess playing room, this is simply too rude! Did someone deliberately frame him? Who is that young man who is playing chess with Lord Gelie? Could it be a great magician from the capital
Mu En wished he could arrest the informer and beat him to death, but he could only kneel at the door without saying a word and wait for Ge Lie to finish playing chess, with an extremely embarrassed look on his face.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long. After about a meal, Amon suddenly raised his head and smiled and said, "Lord Gelie, this junior has surrendered. Your mana and chess skills are far above mine. Playing chess opened my eyes and benefited me a lot!"
Following the voice, the light and shadow of the chess game on the table disappeared, and Ge Lie twitched his beard and laughed, "Young man, thank you, I haven't played such a good game of chess for a long time! Your chess skills are very good, look I must have studied the army array before, but I still lack actual combat command experience. As for mana, it is quite long-lasting in terms of your achievements, obviously surpassing magicians of the same level, it is really amazing! Change the game of chess For such a long time, at least you have to take out your staff... You didn't show your defeat. If you want to decide the outcome of this game of chess, you have to play until dawn. You don't want the people in that courtyard to kneel all night? Hehe, I don't want to either .”
After saying this, the ninth-level great magician turned his head and smiled at Mu En: "Our great warrior, you came here late at night, and the way of greeting you is quite special. I am playing chess with a kid who came from afar. I'm sorry I couldn't greet you just now, did I disturb you while performing official duties? If you have something to do, you can continue, and I won't hinder you."
Mu En's forehead was already sweating, he wisely didn't justify himself, but shook his head and said: "I received an order to arrest a person, the information was wrong, and I broke into the wrong door, Lord Gelie please forgive me! "
Ge Lie waved his hand: "The night is cold, you are still wearing armor, stop kneeling, stand up and talk. Please take a good look, is the person you want to arrest here?"
Mu En stood up, shook his head resolutely and said: "I have checked, there is no one I want to arrest."
Ge Lie's smile was very kind: "Captain Mu Enwei, are you sure?"
Mu En nodded with certainty: "Of course I am sure!"
Ge Lie just said clearly that he was playing chess with a kid who came from afar, how can he catch this guy? Not to mention whether this person is a spy of the Eju Empire, even if he is, there may be other secrets behind him. What's more, that person is a great magician, Mu En and his men are enough to catch him, how to deal with this person is already the business of Master Ge Lie, Mu En doesn't even want to ask any more questions.
At this moment, there was another movement outside the door. Governor Xiao Mo walked in with a few personal guards. He was also very surprised to see this scene. He quickly crossed the threshold and came to the house to salute Ge Lie: "Honorable great magician, why are you here? The guards patrolling the city are too reckless, I'm sorry to disturb your night talk!"
Just now, the guards reported that the captain Mu En led people to arrest the spies, surrounded a courtyard with heavy soldiers and kicked open two doors in a row, only to find that Master Ge Lie was playing chess with the people inside with two high priests. Governor Xiao Mo had already fallen asleep. Hearing the news, he quickly put on his clothes and came to see the situation.
Ge Lie pointed at Amon with a smile and said: "This Mr. Arhat is a disciple of an old friend of mine. I am very pleased that he has achieved level 7 achievement at a young age. He once rescued people who were in danger in the desert. Wallace and Raphael, who are from the border, happened to pass by the city-state of Syria these few days. I was happy tonight, so I played a game of chess, but I didn't expect that the great warrior Muen would come to say hello."
Xiao Mo quickly explained: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!... This Mr. Arhat is a great magician from afar, and also your friend. He also rescued two high priests in the desert, so he should be honored solemnly." Reception. I won’t disturb you tonight, and I will hold a banquet at the Governor’s Mansion another day to thank you.”
Amon also got up and returned the salute to Governor Xiao Mo, while Ge Lie shook his head with a smile and said: "There is no need to hold a banquet at the governor's mansion. He just came to talk to me. This is a private meeting, so don't disturb other people. Ah Luo Mr. He is going back to Egypt tomorrow, so it’s easy to come and go, since it’s a misunderstanding, Mr. Governor, go back to sleep, I’m sorry for disturbing you too.”
The governor, Xiao Mo, went back to sleep knowingly. He has ruled the city-state of Syria for many years, so how could he not wink. There were no carriages or horses on the street outside the gate or in the courtyard. Ge Lie and the two disciples obviously came on foot and did not want to disturb anyone. This was a private meeting.
Mu En didn't know where he got the news, but he came to arrest the spies but surrounded the yard. With Ge Lie's ability, how could he not detect the movement outside, there are three great magicians sitting in that room! As long as Ge Lie sent Wallet or Raphael out to say hello, Mu En could take people away, but he didn't do that.
I heard that the old man was playing chess with that young man. They played chess very seriously, as if they were waiting for Mu En to kick the door. Ge Lie clearly wanted Mu En to see him on purpose, and euphemistically said that the old man already knew about this matter and would deal with it on his own, and the others should stop fussing and talking.
If that great magician is really a secret agent of the Eju Empire, he can't do it easily in this urban area. Ge Lie and the two high priests are there, and others can't intervene, let alone intervene. If the great magician is not a secret agent of the Ecu Empire, the consequences of this misunderstanding are very serious, it is better to pretend not to know.
Xiao Mo left with Mu En's apology. These people are really efficient in their work, and I don't know where to find the right door panel. After a while, they repaired the house door and courtyard door lightly, closed the door and left. go out. Xiao Mo ordered Mu En and his soldiers not to talk nonsense, while Mu En ordered the guards to retreat to the intersections around the courtyard to guard and not allow other people to disturb, and the silence was restored in the darkness.
Not long after, the door opened, and Vallett and Raphael came out, then closed the door lightly, guarding the courtyard from left to right.
Only Ge Lie and Amon were left in the room. When talking alone, Ge Lie didn't hide anything, and asked straight to the point: "Amon, counting the time, we haven't seen each other for nearly three years. I saw you outside Mr. Nietzsche's house, I really didn't expect to see you here today. You have grown up, and you are already a great magician!"
The great magician's sharp eyes, which were only glimpsed at night at the beginning, can still recognize Amon today. Amon left his seat and saluted undulatingly: "That's right, I am Amon, the miner from Duke Town. I know that you are a friend of Mr. Nietzsche. You helped me back then, and I didn't have the opportunity to express my gratitude to you until today. "
Ge Lie sat there, looking at Amon with a look full of emotion: "It is really a master who makes a good student, and only Nietzsche can teach you such an outstanding student, but you are not like him... Amon, since you are back The city-state of Syria, and I recognized you, as the chief priest, I have to ask you a few questions."
Amon replied respectfully: "Your old man, please ask."
Ge Lie thought for a while before saying: "I've heard about you in Eju. You returned Nero's relics in the cape city-state, and later became a glorious warrior in the Temple of Isis, and also made contributions to the blessing ceremony. .These things are all your own experience, but you left Duke Town to implement the decree of the Hatti Empire, so I first want to ask if your mission has been completed?"
It seems that there are quite a lot of spies infiltrating each other between the two countries. Ge Lie even heard about Amon's "deeds". Amon said with a wry smile: "Reporting to Lord Priest, my task has been completed. According to the official announcement of the Eju Empire I found, the evil great magician Bell was eliminated thirty-four years ago. Back then, the guardian of the Isis Temple Saintess Onion made a sacred sacrifice for this. Perhaps due to negligence, this announcement was not sent to Hatti Kingdom."
Ge Lie nodded: "In this case, your mission has been completed, and the town of Duke is no longer there. According to reason and law, the Hatti Kingdom should not pursue the miner named Amon. Let me ask you again, you Is it a secret agent of the Ecu Empire?"
Amon didn't deny anything, and said truthfully: "I don't know what your so-called secret agent refers to? I did accept the mission of the Temple of Isis to investigate the topography of the desert and swamp after the flood. So I was sent to carry out this mission because I told her long ago that I wanted to go back to my hometown to have a look."
Ge Lie smiled: "Thousands of miles of deserts, lakes, swamps, and grasslands are there. Whoever wants to see them can see them all. I think the high-level officials of various kingdoms already know what it will look like in the future. Do you want to see it? It doesn't matter. But did you enter the city-state of Syria this time to spy on the military situation?"
Amon shook his head and said: "No, I only came here for two purposes, one is to see the manor left by Mayor Dusty, it should have belonged to Moses, but it was occupied by a gang of scoundrels, so I bought this The second is to ask to see Mr. Ge Lie, Mr. Nietzsche once told me that I must see you when I have the opportunity, and you may tell me if you have something."
Ge Lie was stunned, then changed the topic and continued to ask: "Since you are not here to spy on the military situation, someone told you that you are a spy sent by the Eju Empire to try to harm the Kingdom of Hatti and the city-state of Syria, how do you do that?" Look?"
Amon replied frankly: "I was forced to leave my hometown. After many twists and turns, the Temple of Isis finally took me in. The Hatti Kingdom surrendered to the Eju Empire, at least for now. I just ask to go back to my hometown to see where it has become. What is it like, the Temple of Isis asked me to report what I saw. If you think this violates the laws of the Kingdom of Hatti, please deal with it according to the law."
Ge Lie thought for a while, and smiled wryly: "Most of the conspiracies in the world are likely to be revealed. Since you said that, you really didn't violate any law, at least before the Hatti Kingdom and the Eju Empire broke openly. Amon, do you know why I let those people break in and see you with me?"
Amon didn't answer, but asked instead: "Please advise."
Ge Lie: "After playing that game of chess with you, I know very well that they can't catch you at all. Once they do, they will only cause casualties to the innocent people around. You are such an outstanding seventh-level magician, it is not so easy to catch you without a fight. of."
Amon said very modestly: "But in front of you, I have no chance to escape at all. It is very easy for you to take me down."
Ge Lie blinked his eyes suddenly and said: "Really? Even the Scorpion King Surabaya dare not attack you easily, you must rely on something. It is said that Nero created a storm of destruction in his later years, and you are the one who got his relic , right?... Let’s not mention the legends, you did not violate the laws of the Hatti Kingdom, and you also completed the mission of the year. I just came to meet the younger generation of my old friend, and played a game of chess with you.”
Amon didn't say much, knelt there and leaned over again: "Thank you!"
Ge Lie sighed, shook his head lightly and said: "You don't need to thank me, in fact, I didn't really help you with anything, no matter it was at the beginning or now... If there is a possibility of meeting each other on the battlefield in the future, I will not be polite."
Amon: "You have given me enough help, why do you say that?"
Ge Lie: "Because we are in different positions, I know more and more complicated things than you. I won't say much about official affairs. There is one thing I want to thank you for. You rescued people in the desert. I killed two of my students. But I have a question in my mind, and I ask you to answer it."
As he spoke, the great magician waved his hand, and another cloud of light and shadow appeared in the room. It was the scene where Amon and the Scorpion King Sishui swore to each other. God.", "If I break my oath, I will always be a humble human being in your eyes."
He waved again, and the light and shadow disappeared. Ge Lie showed a thoughtful look and asked: "Your oath with the Scorpion King has a profound meaning, what kind of secret does it contain?"
The great magician spoke so directly. Amon didn't want to lie and didn't know how to answer. He was hesitating when he heard Ge Lie say again: "You don't need to answer in a hurry. Before making such a request, I will show you another paragraph. Secret. I have buried this secret in my heart for a long time, even my closest relatives have not revealed it, and finally I am waiting for you."
Ge Lie stretched out his left hand and shook it lightly, a staff appeared out of thin air. There is a ring on his left middle finger, which seems to be a space magic weapon similar to the ring left by Nero, and the staff is hidden in it. With the appearance of the staff, the tables, chairs and walls in the room seemed to become transparent and gradually disappeared, and Amon felt that he had come to another world.
It is not uncommon for Amon to demonstrate that information magic can demonstrate light and shadow traces, but Ge Lie's brilliant magic directly brought Amon into the scene a long time ago, as if he was on the scene .
Floods, a turbid ocean, thick black clouds hanging down in the sky and heavy rain, and lightning flashes across the dark sky, with deafening noises, making people not know where they are. A piece of spherical lightning fell, creating spiral bright traces in the water. At this moment, a voice shouted angrily: "God, you finally appeared in the human world. I have been waiting for too long!"
A figure separated from the waves and flew straight to the sky. It was the old lunatic Nietzsche. His messy hair and beard fluttered in the air, and the staff in his hand emitted thousands of golden light bands. The God of God cursed and waved the staff, as if trying to poke a hole in the sky, exuding suffocating madness all over his body.
The god on the cloud finally appeared. Nietzsche threw his staff into the air, and it exploded into a ball of golden light like the most dazzling sun. Immediately afterwards, countless thick lightning bolts gathered from all directions, the sky and the earth shook, and Nietzsche also turned into a ball of dazzling light and then flew away to ashes and annihilated.
This section of the scene disappeared, but Ge Lie's magic was not over yet, and he was in the tall and majestic temple again during the light and shadow shift. Ge Lie was kneeling in front of the statue of Enlil to pray, and suddenly heard the voice of the god: "It was the flood that destroyed the town of Duk, it was the heavy rain that brought the flood, and it was the warm and humid wind blowing from the ocean that circled the Assyrian plateau. It is my divine power that makes the air currents on the plateau circle, and it is my anger that guides the thunder and lightning in the clouds."
Amon also heard Gelie's cry in his soul: "But what about Duke Town? No one survived the flood!"
Enlil replied: "The flood is my blessing to the city-state of Syria! I will hear the cheers of the crowds, and my temple will be flooded with worshipers who come to express their gratitude. It will not be long before you will understand all this. As for Duke, do you mean to ask me why I didn't save them in the flood? Why should I save them?"
Then a piece of information was printed in Amon's mind. It was all kinds of things that happened in his hometown after he left Duke Town. Many children died young and a series of tragedies. People violated the patron saint while praying to Goddess Mu Yun. oracle.
Then I heard Enlil's voice say again: "Priest, have you seen it? They have abandoned the decree of the patron saint, and the goddess Mu Yun has no reason to keep it there, so I will bless that land again. Flood It is my blessing, but people can't just ask to enjoy the blessings of the gods, and I don't need to save sinners in the flood."
Ge Lie's magical spell ended here, and everything in the house returned to normal. Amon knelt there and his shoulders twitched uncontrollably. There was no sound of crying, but tears were streaming down his face, and he kept his head down for a long time without speaking. He hadn't shed tears for a long time. At this moment, he finally understood the cause and effect of the great flood, and also saw the last brilliant glory of Nietzsche's life. His heart was filled with indescribable sorrow, so that he couldn't speak.
