Maybe Ge Lie was too excited, his voice broke through the restriction set by the old lunatic, and Amon couldn't hear the next conversation, only the two people in the room knew it.
The old lunatic sat there with a glass of wine, and made a volley downward gesture: "You don't need to believe it, but when that day comes, I hope you will remember what I said and prepare yourself... don't say these things Now, I have lived in Duke Town these years, and I have lived in peace with you, and even helped you a little, right?"
Ge Lie leaned forward and said, "When I first met you, I was only a fifth-level magician. You didn't cause any trouble for me, and you even helped me solve a few troubles, and gave me some advice on my magic skills. A lot, otherwise I would not have advanced so smoothly to become a great magician. From a personal point of view, I have always been grateful to you, and there is no doubt about that."
The old lunatic was actually humble, he waved his hand and smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me for your own achievements, I just introduced some of my own experience, and you also let me consult many documents and books in the temple, I am also grateful You. It's just today, how about a little favor I asked you for?"
Ge Lie was silent for a while, and then replied with a slight sigh: "No problem, we all know that the child is innocent. I'm afraid everyone in the whole continent knows it. Dusty is a smart person, this matter is easy to handle, Wang The envoys from the capital will come in three days."
The old lunatic stood up and said: "Then go to him, I will go with you, he dare not do what you want, and absolutely dare not tell what happened today."
Ge Lie smiled: "Of course I won't embarrass him when the time comes."
The two were about to go out when the old lunatic suddenly said: "Ge Lie, although you won't let me say it, but I have to mention it one last time. If a catastrophe really comes, I hope you can live on and don't ruin yourself needlessly." , and don't despair of your own beliefs, I understand your achievements, you will become a ninth-level magician."
Ge Lie stood still in front of the door and was silent for a while before saying, "What else do you have to explain?"
The old lunatic thought for a while: "If one day Amon comes back, I hope you can comfort him and help him with your permission."
…
Amon stood in the corner for an unknown amount of time, when he suddenly saw the courtyard door of the old lunatic's house open, and two people came out. The guest was an old man with a goatee. It wasn't very clear at night, but the old man glanced at him, and his eyes were quite clear and sharp in the dark. Amon was about to take a step, but stood there involuntarily without making a sound.
The old lunatic and Ge Lie went to the mayor's house, the small building where Maria used to live, why did they go to the mayor so late
Amon looked at the small building from a distance. There seemed to be light on the second floor but it was not like light. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked shocked, and clearly saw a figure flying out of the window. That figure, like a big bird, a giant eagle, and a night owl, rushed up to the sky and disappeared into the night, and it flew away out of thin air! It looks like the guest Ge Lie.
…
"Old madman, who is the guest who came today? He can fly!" This is what Amon asked, and the old madman had already returned from the mayor's house.
The old lunatic smiled: "What's the matter, I can fly, otherwise, how could I have the opportunity to watch on the battlefield? It's just that I think it's too tiring, and it's still comfortable to walk... For an eighth-level magician like me, I don't have to rely on it." Any magical artifact can fly out of thin air. In fact, a mid-level magician can fly, but only with the help of some things."
Amon's habit of speaking has always been to be careful to figure it out, and then asked: "You haven't told me who Ge Lie is."
The old lunatic: "Don't worry, you will know who he is sooner or later. If one day you encounter any trouble in the city-state of Syria, maybe you can go to him... Amon, what can I do to come to me at night?"
Amon: "I have already passed the test of 'Purity of the Body'. Generally speaking, I am a second-level warrior, but according to your statement, I should learn second-level magic, but I am not yet a second-level magic Master, how do you learn?"
The old lunatic looked at Amon and said: "If my guess is correct, you are not only a second-level warrior at this time, but you can also learn divine arts to become a second-level magician. Whether this is the case, you can try it yourself Just try it out."
Amon: "But you haven't taught me the second-level magic."
The old lunatic laughed again: "There is no so-called second-level magic, but there are low-level magic. I have taught you almost all of them. Being able to use a kind of magic with different skills is a qualified first-level magic." Master, you are already outstanding and cannot be more outstanding. Being able to use two different low-level magic spells separately to achieve the effect of enhancing their power with each other is the standard for testing second-level magicians in the temple. You can evaluate yourself Go ahead. Take this branch back, and these three divine stones."
The old lunatic stretched out his hand, and pulled out Amon's refined iron branch out of nowhere, and grabbed it with his other hand, and three divine stones of different colors appeared, which were placed on the table in front of Amon.
Seeing Amon's shocked look, the old lunatic laughed again: "The red one is called 'Flame Spirit', the black one is called 'Earth Eye', and the white one is called 'Wind Charm Dance', plus the one already given to you 'Youlan Water Heart', there are four kinds of special sacred stones. Don't be surprised, a great magician who is more than a hundred years old and has been a miner in Duke Town for so many years, it is normal to gather these. You Take it with you, and try their different uses by yourself, and explore and practice other divine arts."
Amon thought for a while, what the old lunatic said makes sense. He was a miner in Duke Town since he was a child, and he has stayed here for more than a hundred years. As a great magician, it is very easy to collect all these things . For people like the old lunatic, money is not important, it depends on the usefulness of things, and practicing divine arts for Amon is the biggest use now.
So Amon didn't refuse. He picked it up carefully and put it away. He picked up the stick and looked back and forth for a long time, but he didn't find any changes. It looked more like a branch. Seeing that the old lunatic didn't speak and only looked at him with a half-smile, Amon moved his mind and concentrated on "touching" the stick in a way of awakening his divine power. He felt that there were a few things that were different from before.
So he broke every knot on the "branch" with his hands, and finally found that there was a very hidden mechanism in the grain-like texture, which required a lot of force to open. Amon almost made his fingers sore, and found four grooves in this fine iron branch, and each groove can fit a god stone into it.
Amon asked hesitantly, "Is this... magic... a scepter?"
The old lunatic nodded, took the fine iron branch and said: "The staff of a magician and a magician are the same, but as a young low-level magician, holding the staff to show off is equivalent to asking everyone It's almost like courting death for someone to announce your identity, so I transformed this fine iron branch into a staff.
The material of the entire staff has changed, but it can still be used as a fighting weapon. It took me a lot of work to inlay the sacred stone, and I even destroyed the sacred stone just to use the complete ore core shell material to cover it up. It is difficult for non-magicians to find that it is a staff. Even a ninth-level magician might not be able to find out if they don't pay attention, as long as you don't use the staff to cast magic in front of them.
There are a total of five grooves in it, and the four hidden grooves on the body of the staff can be inlaid with various god stones. Of course, you can inlay all four god stones, which is the most widely used. There is also the most hidden groove on the head of the staff. Even if you know it, if you don’t have the achievements of intermediate warrior and intermediate magician at the same time, you can’t open it. After I finished processing, I couldn’t even open it myself. I am afraid that only the gods can find it.
This socket is intended to allow you to socket Tears of the Gods in the future, if possible. If you inlaid the Tears of the Gods on the staff, then the remaining four grooves can no longer be inlaid with other god stones at will, but you must inlay the blue water core, the fire spirit, the pupil of the earth, and the charm dance of the wind in sequence The structure of the staff of the patron goddess Isis is the same, but it looks completely different, and the effect may also be somewhat different.
You know that I am a great magician, but you don't know that I may be the best master craftsman on this continent. The branch-like thing you hold in your hand is the most proud work of my life. "
After the old lunatic finished speaking in one breath, he rubbed the fine iron branch with both hands, with a slightly smug expression on his face. It may be that there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. If an ordinary magician saw these crystals and this staff, his jaw would probably drop, but Amon has been shocked one after another during this period, and his nerves Already quite tough, and very calm, he stood up and only said three words: "Thank you!"
The old lunatic waved his hand and said, "We can't tell who should be more grateful, but I led you to a road that may be the most difficult in the world."
Amon: "So what, do you think I would be unwilling? Do you want me to be a miner like my father for the rest of my life, unable to leave Duke Town, maybe a finger has been cut off now? "
The old lunatic looked at Amon, his eyes seemed to be studying something: "Amon, you are a child who can hide things in your heart, just like this iron branch can hide the sacred stone so that people can't see that it is a staff. But You have hidden a question in your heart for a long time, about me, tell me today, I can understand your eyes when you see these divine stones."
Amon lowered his head and said, "In that case, I'm asking. My father borrowed the ore core from which the tears of the gods were mined. That's why I have encountered so many things, and you also said, From the moment I mined the Tears of the Gods, many things will inevitably happen. Did you do it on purpose? I knew that the mine core contained the Tears of the Gods!"
Amon finally uttered the question that had been in his heart for a long time, and the old lunatic was a little embarrassed by what he said. He looked down at Jing Tiezhi and said, "Among all the great magicians and magicians, I should be the one who knows the god stone best. It was mined. It is impossible for someone else to be a miner in Duke Town for more than a hundred years. The core of the mine is a kind of magical thing. Before opening it, no one is sure that there must be a god stone inside, let alone what it will look like inside. God stone.
It took me a lifetime to figure it out, but I just knew that the mine core was different from the other mine cores I was familiar with, so it was probably the Tears of the Gods that I had never mined. Lent it to your father, you opened it, and it was tears of the gods! I guessed right. "
Amon hesitated to speak: "Then why don't you...?"
The old lunatic took his words and said, "Then why don't I keep it for myself? The tears of the gods are no longer of much use to me, and it was Bell who abducted the saint from the Temple of Isis and the gods from others." Tears of the Gods, in the final analysis, is all because of me, I just need to return a tear of the gods and a saint... Besides, if you are not allowed to mine the tears of the gods, how can I proceed with my plan? You say Yes, I did do it on purpose."
Amon didn't mean to continue asking, but just nodded and said: "Oh, I understand."
The old maniac pointed to the black divine stone and said, "Special divine stones can be used in more than one way. For example, this pupil of the earth is the best auxiliary tool for using earth element magic, and it can also assist some power magic. It can also be used as a carrier of information magic. I write down all the cultivation content I know in it in the way of writing a magic scroll, and you can read it slowly. But the information magic I use has a characteristic, only you You can only see the content of a certain stage when your magical skills have reached a certain level, and after reading it, the recorded information will automatically disappear."
Then he pointed to the white divine stone and said, "The Wind Charm Dance is not only the best auxiliary tool for performing air magic, but also one of the best carriers for space magic, but it needs to be processed sometimes. This Wind Magic Charm Dance has been in my hands for many years. I processed it into a space magic weapon, which can hold a lot of things, but it is empty now. If one day you become a sixth-level magician and can If you use high-level space magic, you can open it and use it."
Amon interjected and asked, "Isn't the sixth level an intermediate magician? How can you use high-level magic?"
The old lunatic laughed: "It is not only high-level magicians who can use high-level magic. In fact, all kinds of magic can be performed with the help of auxiliary props, and the measurement standard of a great magician has another meaning. In fact, In the evaluation of a sixth-level magician in the temple, the evaluation criteria are not only passing the test of "the temptation of the devil", but also including being able to use high-level magic spells with the help of props, and at least one high-level magic spell without using any props, etc. Wait. It's too early to talk to you about this, the information recorded in the pupil of the earth is all there, and you will know it when you can see it."
Amon suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the behavior of the old lunatic today, as if he wanted to explain everything clearly at once, so he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you today, am I going to leave immediately?"
The old lunatic: "Poor child, you are so smart, you will be exiled tomorrow morning, and today is your last night in Duke Town! There are still a few last things, and I will explain them tomorrow when I send you away. Now I want to ask, did I never say you were my student and you never called me teacher?"
It was only then that Amon realized that he had never called a teacher, and had always just called Nietzsche an old lunatic. It was not disrespect, but he had been used to it since he was a child. Upon hearing this, he knelt down, kissed the soil in front of the old lunatic's feet, and said, "Mr. Nietzsche, in my mind, you have already been my teacher, and of course I am your student."
The old lunatic did not stop Amon from giving the grandest gift, but laughed and said, "Amon, if one day you can unlock the secrets of the gods and even be called a god, then today's scene must be very memorable. Or to put it in a wonderful sense of irony! I have recorded this scene in the pupil of the earth, child, you don’t have to call me a teacher, in fact, I don’t teach you much, and I don’t want you to be my student or another me, I just want you to fulfill my wish, which seems like no one can teach me, so I’m making things difficult for you.”
Amon replied respectfully: "I will never forget."
The old lunatic seemed to be infinitely emotional: "Who can tell whether to forget or not? I recorded two messages in this pupil of the earth that will never disappear. One is that you just knelt in front of me and saluted As for the other scene, it is related to Maria, do you want to see it?"
Amon was very curious: "Maria? I want to see!"
The old lunatic: "You haven't practiced information magic yet, let me demonstrate it to you first."
Before he finished speaking, Amon saw that the black divine stone on the table became colorless and transparent, with its edges and corners glowing, and it became a dodecahedral crystal light ball. Then the light ball expanded and became larger, and a circle appeared inside it. A three-dimensional picture is a line of Ecu cursive written on the wall - "Amon, my name is Iko."
Seeing Amon's puzzled expression, the old lunatic explained with a smile: "That's a line written by Maria in her room. She wanted to tell you her name, but she didn't say it. She just wrote it in the room. A certain corner, but it was erased later. This is probably the last time she used this name, and it was also the last time she wrote secular characters. Tell me, did she forget it or forget it? I’m afraid even the gods can’t tell!"
…
The next day, when people were still eating breakfast, the bell in the Muyun Temple rang again to summon the townspeople. When the people rushed to the square in front of the temple after eating their food, they found that the bell this time was Das Ti ringing it himself, the mayor's expression is very solemn.
Seeing that the people were almost here, the mayor of Dasti opened a volume of documents and read aloud: "According to the decree jointly issued by the Eju Empire and the Hatti Kingdom, which will never be revoked. Send warriors to help hunt down the evil magician Bell, who last appeared in the jungle of the Eudi Valley west of the town of Duk in the city-state of Syria."
After reading this, Dusty closed the document, paused and said: "Bell is an evil magician, those who follow him must be real warriors, he escaped from the Temple of Isis in Eju to the child Those who can find and destroy him in the Dihe jungle will surely receive the joint blessings of Isis and Muyun, and finally there is such a warrior in this town, and I decided to send him to carry out the kingdom's decree."
Xiao Gu was away, except for the old lunatic and Amon, only Mayor Dusty was left to read and write. No one noticed that the parchment in his hand was very old, let alone that what was written on it was Act thirty years ago.
