Chapter 173: Escaping plan

Views:

Back then, Amon captured Hatti King Lucier alive, and let a cat sit on the throne in the middle to enjoy the barbecue and wine first, while the king watched eagerly from the side. This scene angered Celia, the great magician of the palace. Amon managed to kidnap the king in a sneak attack under her nose.

Celia asked Amon for a duel, and Amon agreed. Later, at the banquet for the peace talks between the two countries, this matter was brought up again. Pharaoh Ecu and King Hatti even said that they also wanted to witness the duel.

Although the duel was just a private act, the duel between Celia and Amon was equivalent to an agreement recognized by the monarchs of the two countries. The unfortunate King Lucier and Pharaoh Rasis II had already died violently. Even the successor Pharaoh Eraht could not object to Siammon participating in this well-known duel. Therefore, this is the best chance for Amon to leave Eju.

In fact, this duel should have been held long ago, but there were many unexpected factors that delayed it. As soon as Amon returned to the territory of Eju with the army, the Uruk city army of the Baron Kingdom attacked in a large scale, and the first battle achieved the glory of the general of the Amon Empire. This great war had just subsided, and a war broke out between Hatti and the Kingdom of Baron at the northern end of the Syrian Desert.

Prince Asher and Golie commanded the battle on the front line and were about to win a big victory, but news suddenly came from Hattusha City, the capital of Hatti King, that King Lucier had passed away. He succeeded to the throne as the new king, and urgently summoned Prince Asher to return to the capital to attend Lucier's funeral.

Lucille asked Prince Asher to command the army and asked Ge Lie to assist him. It was obvious that he wanted to pass on Asher and let him establish meritorious prestige before succeeding to the throne. Lucille's death was very sudden, and everyone suspected that it was related to the struggle for the throne. If Prince Asher really surrendered his military power and returned to the capital, it would be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

After seeking Gelie's consent and gaining the support of the front-line generals, Prince Asher quickly ended the war with the Kingdom of Baron through negotiations, and led the elite of the army and the generals back to the capital in the name of participating in the national funeral. . The new king, Ennis, had a guilty conscience. He knew the truth about Lucille's death the most, and he never thought that Prince Asher would lead the army back to the court.

Ennis succeeded to the throne with the support of the prime minister of the kingdom, Zhu Guli. In a panic, he followed the advice of the prime minister, and opened the magic array to protect the capital of the king, keeping everyone out of the city, and wanted Prince Asher to enter the city alone. crimes against the kingdom.

It is true that Asher did not fully obey the king's orders, but he cannot be said to be guilty. Ennis didn't expect the war to end so quickly. His original order was to ask Asher to hand over the position of commander in chief of the battlefield to Ge Lie, and come back to attend the funeral by himself. As a result, the battle was over, the Baron Kingdom retreated, and Ge Lie and the generals also returned with Asher. On the surface, Asher was not at fault, but contributed to the country!

The generals quit, they preached in the army that Prince Ennis killed his father and usurped the throne, and now they want to kill the meritorious ministers, planning to launch a mutiny to attack the capital, and a civil war is about to break out. Hattusha's city is strong and protected by a large magic array, so it is difficult to attack. No matter who wins, the end result is that both sides will suffer.

At a critical juncture, Ge Lie asked to open the city gate and entered the capital alone. He was the honorary chief veteran of Hattie Theological Academy, and he had a high prestige in the kingdom, and no one stopped him.

Ge Lie went to the palace to meet the new king and reported the battle on the front line, and asked privately: "Your Majesty, you should know the result. If Prince Asher must launch a mutiny, the king will not be able to defend it. What will happen to you then? What will happen to the Kingdom of Hatti? Do you want to injure the entire kingdom in a civil war and eventually die, or do you want to settle it decently?"

Ennis didn't want to hear this, and detained Ge Lie in the palace in the name of discussing state affairs, but it caused the division of various factions in the capital city and the dissatisfaction of the people. Hattie Academy of Theology first objected to the king's detainment of Ge Lie, and even said that if the chief elder was not released, they would no longer operate the magic formation that guarded the king's capital.

Even if Ge Lie didn't resist, Ennis wouldn't dare to kill him. If the new king does not kill Ge Lie, he can still negotiate. If Ge Lie is killed, it will definitely cause a mutiny. King Asher sent Prime Minister Zhu Guli to persuade Ge Lie to support him. Zhu Gu Li's nephew is Ge Lie's favorite student Raphael. He thought that Ge Lie and himself belonged to an interest group.

But Ge Lie asked the prime minister: "I don't ask how King Lucille died, do you know what happened to you? Did you want to bury yourself when the capital was breached and the kingdom suffered great trauma? To end this palace coup decently, and not let innocent soldiers and people be buried with you? I can guarantee the safety of your family, as long as you persuade Ennis according to my words, now he is very scared, but he refuses to listen to what I say. "

In the end, Ge Lie was released from the palace, and the new king ordered him to live in Hatti Academy of Theology, which was tantamount to house arrest in disguise. At this time, Asher outside the city had led a large army to surround all the gates of the king's capital, and there were many news transmissions inside and outside the city. The final settlement process of the incident was unknown to outsiders, but there was no coup d'état and no events in the Kingdom of Hatti. mutiny.

The magicians in the capital stopped the formation guarding the city, and Prince Asher and his generals led hundreds of guards into the city and lived in their mansion. Hatti Theological Academy and Hatti Main Temple sent people to protect the palace and Prince Asher's mansion respectively. That night, the new king Ennis, who had just ascended the throne for a month, announced his abdication and announced that he was located in Asher.

Asher has regained the throne, and his mutiny might have served his purpose as well, but now in a different sense. Ennis abdicated on his own initiative. The new king who had just succeeded to the throne issued an edict, declaring that because of the sudden death of his father, the country could not live without a king for a day, so he temporarily took over the power to stabilize the overall situation. Now the wise and mighty Prince Asher is back. Yes, the father had already ordered to establish Asher as the new king, and Ennis's mission was finally completed, and he was officially passed on to Asher, and he was very pleased.

This is the best ending for Ennis. He is still the official monarch in the genealogy of the Hatti Kingdom. He is not a usurper but abdicated on his own initiative. His short one-month career as king can be regarded as a meritorious service to the country. This is also the result of a compromise between the forces of all parties. Song Lie asked Asher to promise not to hold all those involved in the coup accountable.

Forced by the situation, even if Ennis didn't want to agree, someone would make him agree. Prince Asher successfully succeeded to the throne, avoiding the civil war that split the kingdom. Prime Minister Zhuguli resigned due to illness, and the honorable title still preserved his family. Although Asher promised not to hold the kingdom's ministers accountable, power changes and purges are inevitable, and the prime minister's resignation is one example.

Ge Lie stayed in the capital until the situation stabilized before leaving. The achievements he has made are so great that King Asher didn't know how to reward him. He gave Gelie the honor of not having to salute in front of the king, and having a special seat in the palace, and asked him face to face: "Lord Gelie, are you happy?" Just like my father, how can Asher thank you?"

Ge Lie said with a smile: "All I have done is for the people of Hatti. If Your Majesty wants to thank me, please treat this kingdom kindly. Let me live the life I want. As long as this is the case, I will thank Your Majesty." .”

Do what you like, this is the heaviest reward, almost no one can get it, but Ge Lie got it. Ge Lie didn't want to stay in the royal capital to be a powerful official. Of course, Asher couldn't force it. He returned to the city-state of Syria and promoted Wallace to be the chief priest of the city-state.

Asher had wanted to appoint Raphael as the Kingdom's Minister of Internal Affairs. This was not only to win over the forces that originally supported the Ennis faction, but also to give Ge Lie face. But Raphael didn't want to do this, and he still stayed in the city-state of Syria as the high priest of the city-state.

Celia, the great magician of the court, has also experienced this series of turmoil, so of course she has no time to duel with Amon, and during this time she is also on the threshold of breaking through the eighth level achievement, and needs to concentrate on cultivation. By the time she officially had the eighth-level achievement, the Hatti kingdom had returned to peace, and she could send messengers to Amon to agree on the time and place of the duel.

Celia's messenger hadn't set off yet, but Amon's messenger arrived first, and it was John.

Amon asked John to leave Aiju with thirty-six personal guards first, and at the same time, there was another task, which was to find Celia to agree on the time and place for the duel. John carried Amon's handwritten letter, which said - "You choose the location, within Hatti; to Celia.

Celia's reply was quick, and she immediately sent messengers to Eju to set the location for the duel, which was the camp where Amon captured King Hattie alive. As for the time, of course, after Amon arrives there, the general will control it himself, and Celia will be there at any time.

When Celia's messenger arrived, Amon, who closed the door to thank the guests, of course had to personally receive him and hold a banquet to express his condolences for the hard work that had gone all the way. The messenger couldn't help being secretly surprised when he saw the legendary general of the Ecu Empire, Amon. Amon looks too young, just like a teenager, but it feels so deep, like an unfathomable god.

Amon was already very strong when he was sixteen years old, his physique was no different from that of an adult. He was young and mature, in the environment of Duke Town, the son of an old alcoholic took on the burden of life very early, and the opportunity forced him to mature prematurely, and later he was regarded as a god in the tribe of cave dwellers, and his words and deeds were natural With a certain temperament.

But these are not the main reasons. Amon has just experienced hundreds of years in Schrödinger's soul imprint, which seems to be real for hundreds of years! In the past, he gave people the feeling that he was just a young man, more stable and tenacious than his peers, but at this moment, Amon really felt unfathomable.

But his appearance hasn't changed much since he broke through the seventh-level achievement of the power of one body and two sides at the age of seventeen. He has a handsome face, short curly hair, and sometimes looks like a child when he smiles. The messenger originally had full confidence in his master Celia, but after seeing Amon with his own eyes, he felt uncertain, and wanted to go back and tell Celia this feeling.

This messenger is a young man in his twenties, with a round head and round eyes. He looks kind of cute, cute yet delicate. His name is Yao Leo. He humbly calls himself "Xiao Yao" in front of Amon. Celia's servant. Amon told Ruolio that he will leave for the designated location on the southwestern bank of the inland lake soon, and will notify Celia immediately when he arrives.

You Liao smiled and said: "The general doesn't need to inform Sir Celia, I will wait for you there, as soon as you arrive, Sir Celia will get the news."

Yao Liao said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he pointed to Schrödinger, who had been staying beside Amon, and said, "Is this cat the pet that the general brought to the battlefield? It's really extraordinary!"

Schrödinger sneezed, turned his neck and ignored Urio. After he left, Schrödinger said to Amon: "This messenger is not human, have you found out?"

Amon was slightly taken aback: "I think this person is not simple, but I don't see that he is not human. What do you mean?"

Schrödinger: "You have all my knowledge, but after all, you haven't reached my achievements. You can see that this person is unusual, but you don't feel his innate aura. He should be similar to me back then, They are all beasts who have successfully cultivated spiritual wisdom and can transform into human form instead of illusions of transfiguration or information magic, so you didn't see it... Do you remember what Celia said when she asked you to duel?"

Amon thought for a while and replied: "She said to me at that time - after this war is over, I will take the spirit beast I summoned, and you will take this cat, and have a real competition!"

Schrödinger nodded and said: "Since you proposed to bring the summoned beast to fight together, that Celia must be a master of summoning magic, and the summoned beast she mentioned is probably this Yorio. Look at the opponent. You must be careful in this duel, and the ones you should really watch out for should be the summoned beasts."

Amon has never practiced summoning magic, but he understands it. The sorcerer raises some mutated beasts with enlightened intelligence, teaches them various magical powers, and uses magic to set a soul contract, allowing them to accept the call of the sorcerer to help them fight. In a broad sense, Best was actually Osiris’ summoned spirit beast back then. In a broader sense, the magic of undead is also a kind of summoning magic, which can condense the power of living souls for his own use.

But the brilliant summoning magic in the world usually refers to a situation where a great magician makes a contract with a powerful mutant monster, teaches them many secrets of cultivation in the world, and provides various kinds of help. In exchange, the summoned beast appears in the battle , to help the great magician fight against powerful enemies.

Sometimes summoning spirit beasts is even more powerful than the master who summoned them. The soul contract needs to be signed by them voluntarily. After all, it is extremely difficult for beasts in the wild to cultivate alone. Asylum and help will have all kinds of unimaginable benefits and conveniences.

Amon also nodded when he heard the words: "I have seen Celia make a move. For a seventh-level great magician, she is already very powerful. I haven't seen her for so long. Maybe she may also break through the eighth-level achievement. But I am confident that I will not lose to her. As for Xiao Yao, he restrained his breath, and I can't see how strong he is, but at least he should not be inferior to me in terms of realm, and should be stronger than Celia."

Schrödinger said worriedly: "He has at least level eight achievements, and summoning spirit beasts is different from humans. You have seen Yunmeng, who has a gifted foundation of divine arts, which does not change due to the power of awakening. Many mutant beasts Once you have a high-level achievement, there is no need for a second awakening of power. Celia asked you to fight her and her summoned spirit beast with me, but unfortunately I don’t have the strength to help you fight now. You alone can deal with both of them one?"

Amon looked at Schrödinger with a gentle smile: "Will you be my summoned beast?"

Schrödinger's tone couldn't tell whether it was grievance or coquettishness: "If you insist on me summoning a spirit beast, of course I will not refuse, but I can only act as a show."

Amon laughed out loud: "Why do you say it so pitifully? I am not Osiris, and you are not Best. I have never regarded you as a pet, waiter, or summoned spirit beast, let alone Let you do this kind of thing. As for the duel with Celia, I have already thought about the candidate for the assistant, and it can be regarded as its experience."

Schrödinger suddenly reacted and said: "Are you talking about Yunmeng? I don't know how powerful Yunmeng is now, but it should not be the opponent of Xiao Yao."

Amon shook his head: "I don't intend to let Yunmeng deal with Xiao Yao, it just needs to restrain Celia, and I will personally deal with this powerful summoned beast, this duel will definitely be very interesting... Let's not talk about that, This duel is just an excuse for me to leave Eju after Moses and the others, and I am most concerned about you now."

Schrodinger: "Me? That's not easy, just like before, you put me in your leather pocket and carry me on your body, and we leave the Ecu together. As for the matter of unlocking the soul seal, you have done your best, there is no need Take your time in a hurry, do your own things well first, and don't delay because of me."

Amon looked up at the sky, and heaved a long sigh, as if there was a deep regret. Schrödinger asked strangely: "What's the matter with you, I rarely hear you sigh like this, it seems that you have discovered something, and you seem to have lost something?"

Amon smiled and said: "Before that messenger arrived, I had already found out what the seal that imprisoned your soul is. As long as you want, you can untie it at any time, but if you can't untie it yourself, you will never be able to untie it." open."

Schrödinger said in surprise and joy: "Have you found a way to unlock the seal? How could I not want to! Tell me quickly, I have been waiting for a hundred years, and finally it is today."

Amon was not in a hurry, sat down next to Schrödinger, patted it on the back with his hand and said, "What method Osiris used is beyond my understanding, but the imprisoning of the soul is first of all your own. I can May I ask you a few questions? First of all, please tell me that Best didn’t disappear back then, it’s just that his soul changed into a new body, right?”
