Schrödinger lowered his head and was silent for a long time before replying: "Yes, I did not pass the test of fate, but I was not eliminated in the doomsday judgment. A cat, but with the soul of Best."
Amon looked down at her and said: "So you are not an ordinary cat, no cat can be as magical as you, you are the imprisoned Goddess Best. Although you don't want to hear me mention this name, it still It is a fact. The reason why you can become such a magical cat is still because of the guidance of the Jiulian God System. You can either give up completely or you will still be imprisoned. You don’t want to go back to being the goddess of Best, but you haven’t given up The experience that Best has had."
Schrödinger's tone was deeply unwilling: "Osiris once asked me to unfold the soul imprint to him, but I was not willing. It is the result of my three hundred years of cultivation, it is impossible not to cherish it, and I am not even willing to unfold it, even more so. It's hard to give up."
Amon: "Of course you can understand how you feel, but the achievement you get after practicing for three hundred years is not a soul imprint, but the three hundred years you have enjoyed, the life and power you have enjoyed. Great Goddess Best, please Look at the people in this world, what have they left behind in their lives?"
The cat's head lowered: "You are right, if I am still unwilling, then how should mortals live in the world? I have suffered enough. In your eyes, I am the most amazing cat in the world. But who understands the pain of such a cat?"
Schrödinger's pain is of course clear to Amon, he is the witness of her soul imprint, and has personally experienced everything she has encountered. Amon gently combed the cat's fluff with his fingers, and changed the subject, "You refused to integrate the imprint of your soul into the soul of Osiris, but you took the initiative to unfold it to me."
Schrödinger whispered: "This requires my own sincere willingness, otherwise I will not be able to develop the imprint of the soul. Osiris, Bell, and Nietzsche are not allowed. I only choose you."
Amon stood up and said, "I have a discovery that I want to tell you. Maybe you already know it, but as a bystander, I should see it more clearly. Let's go to the temple to talk, to the temple I built for you."
One person and one cat walked out of the house and walked through the manor to the backyard. Amon's manor was too big. The so-called backyard was a garden where horses could gallop, and a temple of the cat god Best was built in the place with the best scenery. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, they walked very slowly, their figures gradually elongated. When they entered the temple, the last rays of the setting sun happened to disappear on the top of Mount Horeb in the distance.
Amon stood in the center of the temple with his hands behind his back, staring at the statue of Best on the altar. The statue of this goddess is the head of a cat with long hair like a lion's mane. Under the head is the body of a young girl, which looks sexy and charming.
Schrödinger saw that Amon was so engrossed, and asked a little embarrassedly: "Who are you looking at, and what are you thinking about?"
Amon replied: "I'm thinking about the endless trials, like an endless river, which finally flows back to the source. It seems that I have experienced and witnessed many life courses. I can see it so clearly but I can't think about it." , In the end, I can’t tell whether it’s forgetting or giving up. I witnessed it in your soul imprint, and I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. It may be the course of countless lives in the world, or it may be the many lives that a person has spent. But there is no difference in meaning between the two.
After passing through this test, you are yourself, with a source of endless strength. You are still you now, not other beings in the world, nor the endless past life process, but still the goddess Best. Your achievements come from the guidance of the pantheon, and you should still obey the oath you made. You don't want to be Best, but in fact you are Best, which is the root of Osiris' ability to seal your soul. The way to untie the confinement is also very simple, that is, to let go of all these. Only when you no longer exist, Best will be truly free. "
The cat raised its head, looked at the idol and murmured, "I don't exist anymore? Then where will I go?"
Amon didn't dare to look back at her, and sighed softly: "Your achievements far exceed mine. If you don't even know the answer, how can I know the answer?"
But Mao Er stubbornly shook her head: "No, I must ask you to give me an answer, even if it's just a guess, I want you to tell me yourself!"
In fact, Amon had already thought about this answer, but he just didn't want to say it. Schrödinger insisted on asking, and he had no choice but to open his mouth and said, "If the seal that imprisons the soul is released, I don't know where you will go, but I do know where you are. Maybe in the future, you will live in another life." It is constantly being verified. But at that time, you were no longer the Best you are today, and you may be able to prove it, or you may never have the chance to reach that step.”
Best closed his eyes in the dark: "I understand, in fact, I should have understood, but I still refuse to give up."
Amon finally turned around, looked at Schrödinger and said, "You should be able to do it today. You just need an external force to undo the seal that imprisons your soul. I am this external force. You can spread the imprint of your soul to me. The process, thank you for sharing with me the secrets of everything that has been achieved over the centuries."
The cat still didn't open his eyes: "Yes, I can finally let go of this bondage, but I can't bear it when it comes to this."
Amon asked softly: "What are you still reluctant to do, do you want to continue to be the most painful cat in the world?"
Schrödinger finally opened his eyes, and it turned out to be tearful: "I can't bear you."
Amon didn't know what to say, and of course he was reluctant to part with the cat. Since the day he left his hometown, Schrödinger had been by his side and guided him. Amon couldn't even imagine what would happen if he didn't have Schrödinger? But he finally hardened his heart: "I am also one of your experiences as Best. The real parting includes not only the facts that I don't want to face, but also the things I love. It is the seal that imprisons the soul. The real separation is also the separation of one body, isn't it difficult? When you can touch the seal that imprisons the soul, you have another kind of reluctance."
Schrödinger said in a pitiful tone: "Amon, can you tell me, will you still know me?"
Amon knelt down and wanted to touch her, but he didn't stretch out his hand. He just lowered his head and said, "Maybe you don't know who you are at all, maybe you have another origin, maybe we have met before, maybe we will meet again. The best soul imprint has been opened to me, I can leave another imprint in your soul, in the future I will recognize you, and you will recognize me. I can't do this with my achievements, but you The situation between me is very special, and I can do it to you."
Schrödinger closed his eyes again upon hearing the words, and tears flowed from the corners of Mao'er's eyes. The goddess finally fully understood her wish in this life. Amon suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him. The statue on the altar seemed to have come alive and had the breath of life. He hurriedly stood up and turned around to look, but he heard someone behind him say, "Amon, are you looking at me?"
It was really a woman's voice, not from the soul, and he turned around and saw her again. The cat named Schrödinger finally turned into a woman, with the same body as the statue on the altar, but instead of the head of a cat with a lion's mane, it was a pretty woman with a slightly raised nose and pink hair. The pouty lips are very cute.
Amon stepped forward and said, "I finally saw you, you broke free from the seal that imprisoned your soul."
Schrödinger shook his head slightly: "No, this is not a real escape, it's just a farewell before leaving. I have restored Best's power, but as long as I use this power, I will leave from then on."
Amon: "Maybe you don't have to go in such a hurry."
Schrödinger: "There are some things you still can't understand. I use the power of Goddess Best to help you fulfill your last wish, which also means that I disappear in this world. But I don't want you to see that scene. I died before sunrise." will go first."
Amon looked at the starlight falling on the threshold of the temple, opened his arms towards Schrödinger and said, "At least for now, there is no sunrise yet."
…
Before sunrise the next day, Schrödinger quietly left. Amon sat alone in the temple for three days. For the first time in his life, the cat was not around him. He didn't know what kind of method Schrödinger would use to bid farewell to the world, but he knew that Schrödinger didn't want him to see that scene.
Amon, who has never been depressed no matter what hardships he faces, feels a deep sense of loss and powerlessness at this moment. Schrödinger's parting is also his parting. There are still many things waiting for Amon in the distance, but he is not interested. He just wants to sit quietly in the temple alone, as if hundreds of years have passed.
Three days later, Amon finally walked out of the temple, and he sent a servant to report to Helio City-State: Celia's messenger had arrived, and he was going to participate in the duel that had already been agreed upon, and he entrusted Helio City-State to deliver this The news was forwarded to the capital. Amon was just notifying and not applying, because this duel was witnessed by the monarchs of the two countries, and there was no need to seek the opinions of anyone, including Pharaoh Eraht. If he did not go, he would be ridiculed by the world.
After the servants set off, Amon also set off. Without any entourage, he crossed the Ronnie God River alone in a small boat. After reaching the opposite bank, he did not tie the boat and let the boat drift away with the river. Without Schrödinger, leather pocket, and iron branch staff, Amon walked empty-handed, hiding the rib of Hades next to his body, and all important things were in the bone.
Amon didn't hide and dodge, but walked along the official path in an upright manner. When they arrived at Heli city-state, the city lord and the local garrison were alarmed. All the adults rushed to receive the imperial general and asked him why he came alone? Amon answered frankly at the banquet that he was going to participate in the well-known duel, and took out the letter sent by the envoy sent by Celia.
I see! The general's demeanor convinced everyone present, and he went to such a far place alone to meet the appointment. When Amon set off from the city-state of Helio, the city lord sent chariots, horses and guards to escort him.
The news spread quickly, and when Amon passed through various city-states, there were grand receptions along the way, like welcome and send-off ceremonies. When Amon arrived at the cape city-state, the welcome reached its most enthusiastic climax.
Lord Rod Dick, the lord of the cape city, waited in person at the border of the territory, and the generals of the An-La Legion lined up to welcome the arrival of the general, and welcomed Amon to the cape city-state in a mighty manner. Roddick is the current head of the An-La Legion, but his prestige is far from comparable to that of the former head of the army, Amon. Most of the generals here are old subordinates who have followed Amon through life and death, and treat Amon with respect like a god.
Except for the reception along the way, Amon did not make a special trip to say goodbye to anyone, nor did he contact anyone in private. He even refrained from going to see Maria in Mengfeisi, because he would never return, and his private behavior might cause concern to those concerned. people cause trouble. Because of the monotheistic reform of the new pharaoh, many things in the Ecu Empire are very sensitive at present.
Rod Dick sent Amon across the Chihai Sea, and expressed his wish to accompany Amon to the duel and be a witness on the scene. But Amon resolutely rejected this request, and he didn't want to implicate the Lord City Lord.
The landform of the cape city-state has undergone great changes. The original red cape defense line has been submerged by the Chihai Sea inserted into the mainland, forming a natural barrier, leaving only a narrow passage at the southernmost end. stationed place.
When Amon passed by this place, he realized that it was impossible for Moses and others to leave the God Domain of the Nine-Link God System from land, because there was only a narrow road here, and it was a heavily fortified pass. If the fugitive slaves wanted to leave, they had to try to cross the Red Sea in the north.
An important town has now been formed on the passage at the southern end of the Red Sea. It is not only a military fortress but also a throat of commercial roads. It is very lively and bustling with people coming and going. The arrival of General Amon is the biggest event in this town, attracting everyone's attention. At the same time that Amon arrived at the southern shore of the Red Sea, Moses and other tribesmen in Duke Town went through untold hardships and also arrived at the shore of the Red Sea hundreds of miles away.
…
Starting from the outskirts of the Helio city-state, Moses and the others walked for half a year through the city-state possessions of Bubas, Tanis, and Cape. Walking through the deep mountains and barren valleys, there are no horse-drawn carriages and livestock, so this journey is extremely difficult. The envoys sent by Seth obstructed their steps in various ways. On the way, they encountered a terrible storm and huge hailstones fell from the sky. The overwhelming locusts once ate up all the leaves in the mountains and fields they passed, and the animals fled far away, so that they could not get food supplies.
With the help of the Twelve Judges, Moses overcame many obstacles with the iron staff in his hand. Medanzo and Link also secretly used various methods to deal with Seth's envoy. When the ragged clansmen finally came to the shore of the Chihai Sea, they couldn't continue walking. Link guided Moses to lead his tribe to harvest wood and quietly build boats in the valley by the sea, intending to take advantage of the calm night and escape across the sea.
But for many consecutive days, the Chihai sea was windy and the waves were rough, and they had no way to get through it, so they could only stay in the valley and wait. There was nothing Mei Danzuo and Link could do if they were in a hurry. They had already made an agreement with Seth's envoys that they had made secret moves a few times, and no one could directly intervene.
But the ship has been built, and the wind and waves on the Red Sea cannot last forever, and the envoys sent by Seth did not make Moses and others give up their faith even though they tried their best. If Moses had crossed the Red Sea, he would have left the domain of the Jiulian gods. But at this moment, one thing that Amon had worried about for a long time finally happened.
…
When Amon passed through the land channel at the southernmost point of the Red Sea, Rod Dick rushed back to the main city on the promontory because of a distinguished guest from the city-state—Prince Snake of the Ecu Empire.
The prince is the eldest son of the former pharaoh Rasis II and the elder brother of the current pharaoh Eraht. It is said that Snake came to the cape city-state with an important mission, and he brought his majesty the pharaoh's personal order, and Rod Dick did his best to cooperate. As for what this mission is, Rod Dick has no right to ask.
In fact, the relationship between Prince Snake and Pharaoh Erlacht was at odds. As the eldest son of Rasis II, he failed to inherit the throne. He also had his own faction power and vast territory in the country. disobedient. But this time Erlacht ordered Prince Snake to rush to the Cape City in the name of the oracle.
This oracle was directly issued by Archangel Seth to the priests of the main temple of the empire, ordering the pharaoh to prevent General Amon from leaving the territory of Eju. As for how to stop it, Snake needs to figure out a way on his own, and if he can't, he will catch up with Amon and read the oracle in person. But before that, it's not easy to make it public. It's best to use gentle means to persuade the general to come back.
As soon as Amon left, Prince Snake rushed to the main city of the cape. Hearing that the general had passed, he immediately sent a magician to chase after him on a shuttle, saying that there was something important to discuss, and asked General Amon to go with The owner of Dick rushed back to the main city on a fast horse.
Rod Dick went back immediately after receiving the order, but Amon did not go to see Prince Snake. He told Rod Dick, "Once I set foot on this road, I will not turn back. This duel was witnessed by the pharaoh. It is about the glory and promise of a warrior. It cannot be repented. No matter what happens to your Royal Highness, we will talk about it later!" "
Rod Dick has nothing to do with Amon, unless the garrison of the An-La Legion takes Amon and escorts him back to the city-state, but how dare Rod Dick issue such an order? Besides, Prince Snake didn't say anything specific, so Rod Dick had no choice but to go back and tell the prince himself that General Amon refused to come to see him and had already continued to set off.
When Snake heard Rod Dick's return, he realized that something was wrong. It seemed that General Amon wanted to leave Ecu. Because before that, Amon had sent away all his cronies, and the group of slaves had already fled. From this point of view, it is really necessary to forcibly keep him.
Prince Snake planned to lead the army to catch up with Amon at dawn the next day, and that night, the priests in the Cape Temple received the guidance of the angel oracle. The fugitive slaves that Pharaoh ordered to be wanted throughout the country were finally found. They were quietly building a boat in a valley on the shore of the Chihai Sea and preparing to cross the sea.
This is the last resort of Haikuite and others, directly directing the pursuers to arrest Moses and his party. They are currently in a desperate situation, and they can no longer hide if their whereabouts are exposed.
