Later, the gods discussed again and decided that only servants who serve the gods in the world are qualified to master the magical power bestowed by the gods, know how to sing praises to the gods and record the decrees of the gods. This legend is the origin of secular characters and divine characters. Nowadays, in all countries in the mainland, only the nobles are eligible to practice divine arts and learn divine language with the permission of the temple.
As for the Tongtian Tower, construction was stopped halfway through construction, and it became a huge relic standing in the wilderness. Later, the battle of the gods broke out, and Marduk led the gods to defeat Jingut and Amat, and took the letter of destiny to Anu. It was desolate, and then there was the town of Duke.
Marduk became one of the two main gods in the Anunnah enlightenment system that rivaled Enlil, and he was also the king god believed in by the Kingdom of Baron. In order to pay homage to the great god Marduk, the Baron kings of all dynasties built a tall tower in the city of Baron called the Gate of the Gods. This pagoda is majestic and magnificent, with a height of three hundred feet, and at the top is a human palace built for Marduk.
The purpose of the Kingdom of Baron to build the Gate of the Gods is of course not to ascend to the heaven where the gods reside like the "criminals" back then, but to listen to the voices of the gods and dedicate all the best enjoyment in the world to the gods. It is said that on the day when the Gate of the Gods was completed, Marduk appeared in the clouds and landed on the top of the tower to bless the people.
People have never seen the heaven where the gods live, but they just build everything according to their ideas. Under the tower, there is a temple where people offer sacrifices to Marduk, and on the top of the tower, there is Marduk's "sacred palace". There is no statue of Marduk in this shrine, but a residence built by people for Marduk. The roof is made of blue glazed tiles inlaid with gold.
There is a comfortable big bed in the luxurious bedroom, and the youngest and most beautiful woman in the kingdom is chosen to live here to accompany Marduk. People don't know the enjoyment of the gods, but they just serve the gods like emperors according to the ideal of secular life. Only the king and the high priest of the temple are eligible to climb to the top of the tower, which symbolizes serving Marduk and listening to teachings. It is said that if you climb to the top of the tower, you can face the gods and receive the oracle, so it is called the gate of the gods.
The legend of the Tongtian Tower is like this, and there is indeed a magnificent tower in the suburbs of Baron today called the Gate of the Gods. After listening to it, Amon showed a look of surprise, smiled and said to Aesop: "Thank you, this story has answered the question in my heart for a long time... You can go back with Link, and start to prepare everything after the road is repaired. "
Link controlled the shuttle to take Aesop away, and Amon sat in the swamp and fell into deep thought. The legend sounds absurd, no matter how high people build a tower, it is impossible to lead to the so-called kingdom of God, but myths are often a kind of symbolic lingo, telling people something implicitly. Amon had read the secret collection of books in the Isis archives, which were poems written by bards in ancient times. Today, when he compared this legend, he suddenly understood one thing.
According to the legend, the sky-reaching tower symbolizes the step-by-step achievement of mortals on the road to the gods, and "language" is the secret of becoming a god, the practice rules and numerous tests of the original power. According to legends written by bards, the goddess Isis also asked the god An-Ra to tell her the "true language".
The gods confused people's language, so that the people on the ground could not build towers reaching the sky, which obviously means that the cultivation secrets of the original power have not been handed down in the world, but are divided into physical skills and divine skills. Divine art seems miraculous, and only nobles can practice it with the permission of the temple. There is a very systematic and clear system, and the content is extremely complicated, but it is not the real achievement of the original power.
The secret of becoming a god is in the hands of the gods, and they form a group of gods, which is the known god system on the mainland. Only those who are approved by the gods and accused of being introduced into the pantheon can share this secret and swear to keep it secret, because they also belong to such a group and clearly define the boundaries with mortals.
This is the most important agreement among the gods!
So there is another problem. In the long history, there are many geniuses with exploratory spirits in the world, such as the old lunatic, Bell and others, and Amon has explored this path by himself. How will these people choose? They may have established their own god system, or they may be guided to a known god system. After all, even if they know this path, it is extremely difficult to pass the many tests. When they truly become detached and immortal gods, they will continue to abide by this agreement with the gods.
This is the wish of Sishui, the Scorpion King, to establish his own god system and domain. When Amon crossed the Syria desert, he made a great wish, but it was another wish.
Amon finally understood the meaning of the legend of the Tongtian Tower. When he lowered his head, he saw Yunmeng lying on the side and looking at him eagerly, with his long tail still hanging in the swamp, as if to say: "God Amon, you put I called you, why are you ignoring me?"
Amon smiled and said, "Yunmeng, I was thinking about something just now, and I kept you waiting for a long time. I asked you to ask a question, do you want to transform into a human form? Just like me."
Yunmeng's eyes showed ecstasy, she nodded her head vigorously, and wagged her tail to stir up mud and water in the swamp. Amon smiled again: "I forgot, although you can write but can't speak, it's not difficult for you, as long as you know the way of cultivation. Your experience is different from mine, and some things cannot be taught You can only comprehend it by yourself, this process is very long and requires rare luck. But you are very lucky, I have a little experience in the cultivation after the enlightenment of spiritual wisdom, which can be passed on to you to confirm."
Amon's so-called experience is naturally the process of Schrödinger's enlightenment from a cat, and finally accepting the guidance of the goddess Isis to become the goddess Best. Schrödinger's situation is not exactly the same as that of the armored beast, but it can always be used as a reference, as long as Yunmeng can understand it, and then prove it step by step by himself.
That day, Amon sat by the swamp and gave Yunmeng a lecture. It seemed that he didn't speak quietly, but it was a direct communication in the soul. Yunmeng's eyes widened and she listened very carefully. In the end, she gradually became fascinated, and slowly closed her eyes thoughtfully. In the early morning of the next day, Amon stood up and straightened the hem of his robe, and said to Yunmeng: "You can slowly understand it later, now we are going to participate in a duel, the battlefield is not far from here, listen to me carefully. "
A voice came from Amon's soul: "Are we going to fight someone?"
Amon laughed and said, "You are really smart. After this step, you can already speak! It's not about fighting, it's about competing with others. You can't hurt the other party. I want to take this opportunity to make an agreement."
…
Two days later, a team of chariots and horses arrived at the original camp of King Lucier before Amon captured Hatti alive. At the front is a carriage made of pure white cedar wood. The body of the carriage has been treated with magical techniques, making it appear crystal clear and noble, but without extra ornate decorations. Everyone in the city of Shuya knew this carriage, and they would retreat to the side of the road to salute when they saw it from a distance. It was Ge Lie's car.
Ge Lie was sitting in the car, beside the beautiful and lovely Celia, while Ge Lie's student Raphael was standing aside holding the teacher's staff. Raphael is now the high priest of the city-state of Syria, and his status is quite honorable. He stood on the bumpy carriage to show his respect for his teacher. Amon, the driver sitting on the shaft of the car, also knew him. He was Aluka, the former captain of the guards next to Lucier.
Because of his ineffective protection of the king, Aluka was later punished by reducing his rank to two levels. After Asher succeeded to the throne, he was removed from the post of general of the palace guard. Now he is just an idle noble warrior. Amon's successful sneak attack back then also discredited the great warrior, but Aluka was indeed not Amon's opponent.
Due to the setbacks of the year, the flamboyant Aluka became the object of people's ridicule and lost his noble and honorable position. However, this great warrior did not indulge in sinking. After being dismissed, he devoted himself to practicing physical skills, and even broke through the eighth level achievement . Physical skills have reached a high level, and it is extremely difficult to rely on the powerful blood to continue to practice. Since Enkidu's death, there has not been another ninth-level warrior on the mainland, and the eighth-level warrior is already the highest level.
Amon is also a great warrior. Although Aluka is not the one who duels with him, Amon also wants to see how Amon's methods are and whether he is an opponent. I still feel a little unconvinced.
Sitting in the second carriage was Xiao Mo, the governor of the city-state of Syria. Xiao Mo was accompanied by two directors of the Finance Department and the Property Department. .
This scene is a bit interesting. If it is reasonable to say that Aluka drives for Ge Lie, why does the noble warrior also become a coachman for the governor? Ever since Enkidu drove Gilgamesh's chariot to the battlefield, and Pharaoh Eju asked the general Amon to sit in front of the chariot as a symbolic coachman, is it true that the great warriors on the mainland are all popular in driving chariots?
Mu En also came to watch the excitement, watching this rare duel on the mainland, since the eighth-level great warrior Aluka drove the first car, he volunteered to be the driver of the second car. As for Ge Lie, who was invited by Celia, only this highly respected magician is qualified to be the arbitrator of this duel.
Ge Lie brought his student Raphael by his side to open his eyes, Governor Xiao Mo couldn't bear to be curious and wanted to follow. Ge Lie agreed, leaving Hua Laite to stay in the city-state to preside over government affairs, let the governor come over to watch the duel together, and asked Xiao Mo to bring the two directors of the Finance Department and the Property Department, the clerk and the official document seal with him.
Governor Xiao Mo asked Ge Lie why? Ge Lie just smiled and said that there might be something to discuss after the duel, which is the most convenient. Xiao Mo was waiting curiously. He couldn't figure out what the relationship between a duel and the city-state's finances and property affairs was. Ge Lie, the noble magician, was really unpredictable.
There are also carriages and guards behind, and there are more than fifty servants accompanying them. This lineup is strong enough. If they want to be unfavorable to Amon, the general who escaped from Eju will be in a bad situation!
A group of people came to the place where King Lucier camped, and saw from a distance that a luxurious golden-roofed tent had been set up in the forest glade next to the swamp. Inside the big tent was a large white oak table with two ends. There is a chair on each side of the table, and a person sits at the table toast and drink. It is the famous general Amon.
The large tent, tables and chairs were left by the Lion King, and Amon brought them with him just in case. The things on the table were all made by Amon himself just now. Barbecue and bread, etc., seem ordinary but quite delicious . The utensils left by the Lion King are all exquisite, and the wine has been filled.
Amon saw the convoy approaching from a distance, and it turned out to be such a strong lineup. He didn't feel panicked at all. He put down his cup and stood up to salute: "My distinguished adults, why are there so many people here?"
When the convoy stopped, Ge Lie walked down first and said with a smile: "General Amon, you are the guest here, but I am sorry to ask you to prepare a banquet and wait for us. Everyone wants to appreciate the style of the general today, I want to witness a duel that is rarely seen on the mainland with my own eyes, so I came here. As for me, Celia invited me to be an arbitrator."
The servants started to set up the camp, and Ge Lie led Celia, Rafael, Xiao Mo, Aluka, and Mu En into the big tent. Amon apologized slightly: "I didn't expect there to be so many guests, and there are not enough chairs prepared."
Raphael smiled: "It doesn't matter, I have prepared here too." Then he waved his staff, and four more chairs were placed beside the table. Amon nodded in praise and said, "In less than two years, you have also become a great magician, congratulations!" Looking at Raphael's actions just now, it is obvious that it is a space magic that can only be performed by a great magician. With space artifacts.
Raphael said modestly: "No matter how brilliant the magic is, it is only a personal achievement, and I dare not show it off in front of the general."
Everyone sat down, Amon sat at one end of the long table, Ge Lie sat opposite, and the other five sat on both sides. In addition to Governor Xiao Mo, the opponent has three great magicians and two great warriors. Even if Amon has the ability of Enkidu, it is difficult to play tricks here. Although he was on someone else's territory, Amon waved his hands calmly like a master: "Although I came here for the duel, let's have a drink together before the duel, so we can catch up on the old days."
Everyone toasted and drank, the scene was really like meeting old friends. Ge Lie put down his wine glass and said straight to the point: "General, I am not only here to arbitrate your duel at Celia's invitation, but also to ask the general about his future plans."
Amon was stunned and said, "My plan?"
Ge Lie said with a smile: "Yes, we don't have to go around. I know that you killed Prince Snake before you left Eju. Obviously you don't plan to go back. The news from Eju, Erlach Although Tepharaoh didn't openly order you to be wanted, he sent a master to hunt you down, and the person who came was your benefactor and friend."
Amon sighed and said: "Lord Gelie, you are really well informed. What is coming will always come. When Amon made a decision, he knew exactly what he was going to face."
Xiao Mo said from the side: "The general was originally from Hatti, and he made great contributions to Eju on the battlefield, and also facilitated the joint talks between Eju and Hatti. You are not a fugitive slave. Your hometown should be respected, why should you be respected by the Eju Empire? Now that Lord Gelie has spoken, the city-state of Syria welcomes you home, and the Kingdom of Hatti also welcomes you to serve."
Ge Lie nodded with a smile and said: "On the way here, I talked to Governor Xiao Mo about this matter, but I have already promised you that I will never bring up any past grievances."
If others say this, it may not be enough weight, but when Ge Lie speaks, no one in the whole Hatti Kingdom will object, this is the best guarantee and promise. What they talked about when they sat down was not a duel, but hoped that Amon would play for Hattie.
Amon stood up and went around the table to pour wine for the adults. Except for Ge Lie, everyone else hurriedly stood up to express their thanks. Amon said while pouring wine: "I came here for the duel with Sir Celia, let's talk about these things after the duel. My hometown is Duke Town, and my friends have settled in the Duke Plain. This time I want to come to negotiate a business with the city-state of Syria."
Ge Lie twirled his beard and said with a smile: "I've heard about it. The situation in the Duke Plain is very complicated, but it is still a territory of the city-state of Syria in name, but it has become an enclave out of control. Since today is the For the duel, Amon, we might as well make an agreement based on the result of the duel. If you win, I will agree with Governor Xiao Mo to negotiate business with you. If Celia wins, I hope you can work for Hattie."
After pouring the wine, Amon returned to his seat: "Okay, let's make an agreement based on the result of the duel!"
Ge Lie added: "None of you is allowed to hurt anyone. Although it's a duel, I hope it's just a competition of all means. It's just a matter of winning and losing."
Amon nodded bluntly and said: "Of course, I never intended to hurt the great magician Celia, and I beg Sir Celia to show mercy!"
Seeing what he said in a strong tone, Celia wrinkled her nose slightly and said: "The general is so powerful that even the Uruk Legion can repel it. I am afraid I am not the opponent, but I will try my best. Master Ge Lie said so Said, more to protect me, but my summoned beast and I will not harm the general!"
Aluka finally couldn't help but interjected and asked: "It's been a long time since the peace talk banquet between the two countries. I just keep hearing about the great general's reputation. I only know that you are a great warrior. How many achievements have you made today? "
Amon couldn't explain much, but said vaguely: "If you talk about achievement, you just broke through level nine not long ago."
The complexions of several people sitting there changed, especially Governor Xiao Mo, who almost didn't even hold his wine glass steady. Ninth-level great samurai! After Enkidu, another ninth-level warrior appeared on the mainland! Celia's expression was a little nervous, and she took a deep breath and said, "General Amon is indeed a rare talent in the world. First of all, I should say congratulations! Regardless of the outcome of the duel with you, I will do my best."
Raphael pointed at Celia and said, "General Amon, Sir Celia has just been promoted not long ago and became an eighth-level great magician. Her summoned beast is powerful and magical, even if you are a ninth-level warrior, Be careful when fighting."
