There was a scuffle in the Duke Plain, and Rod Dick knew that Xiou and the others were transporting strategic materials to Salem City through the border of the cape in the name of trade, and he turned a blind eye to it. Gabriel asked him to inquire about Amon's news, and he really paid attention to it. Unfortunately, the well-informed city lord hadn't gotten any rumors for more than half a year, and Amon seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Rod Dick would go to the temple to pray as usual, and he would lead the people to hold sacrificial ceremonies during various city-state ceremonies. But the most important prayer in his heart is just one thing, that is, the flames of war in the Duc Plain should not spread to Eculay, otherwise the cape city-states will bear the brunt of the pressure of the war. He also hopes that the city-state of Salem can gain a firm foothold, and that Amon will be safe and sound, and he is willing to provide any help he can in private.
Rod Dick has been inquiring about Amon for such a long time but found nothing, but he never expected that Amon would take the initiative to show up in the cape city-state. When he saw Amon, he stepped on the ground and fell off the carriage in surprise. He not only ordered the entire city-state to arrest him, but also wrote a letter to Pharaoh Eju to plead guilty.
…
The temples of the city-states of the Eju Empire held two sacrificial ceremonies every month, and the people of the city-states could come to the temples at that time. There are also three grand ceremonies every year, which are equivalent to the most important festivals in the city-state. That day happened to be the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the god An-Ra, and it was also a carnival for the citizens.
On this day, all the officials of the various departments are on holiday, and the people put on new clothes and go shopping in the streets and alleys. It is rare to have such a day of leisure and enjoyment. After noon, everyone gathered in the temple square to chat and laugh, and many small businessmen also came around the square with burdens and carts.
The carriage of the lord of the city came, Rod Dick lifted the curtain and was about to step down, while the magician Yi Bin led the priests to line up on the long steps, the atmosphere was cheerful and peaceful. The heavy gate of the temple is open at this time, and looking from the front of the square, you can see the statue of the god in the main temple.
No one expected that at this moment, a figure suddenly flew out of the crowd, shot straight into the main temple like a frightened bird, swung a sword with a golden arc, and slashed at the statue of An-Ra, the statue of Ponset, and then killed the main temple. The solid stone roof of the temple forcibly smashed a big hole and flew away.
Tens of thousands of people exclaimed in unison, followed by complete silence, all staring stupidly with their eyes wide open and their mouths open. Yi Bin, who was about to come over to greet Rod Dick, gave a startled cry, waved his staff soaring into the sky, and chased after him. However, just as Yi Bin flew over the temple, another figure flew obliquely. The sharp ax in his hand was like a silver phantom, and an arc-shaped virtual blade spread out in the air and slashed towards Yi Bin.
Yi Bin was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, but fortunately, he reacted quickly. He turned around in the air and got into the big hole on the roof of the main temple, and applied a thick layer of air elemental armor. The second person who flew out suddenly swung an ax to force Yi Bin back, and then flew away in the air.
Then everyone heard strange noises from the temple, crackling, crackling, and after half a meal, there was another loud bang, like some heavy object collapsing and falling to the ground. The guards on duty had already followed the troublemaker's escape direction, and the priests rushed into the hall to see Yi Bin's situation.
Rod Dick was just about to get out of the car. He raised his head and stared at the sky, stunned, and fell with his foot in the air. The city lord fell down when he got off the car, and the guard who was supposed to support him also turned his head and looked at the sky, but he didn't help him! Rod Dick didn't care about these anymore, he got up and quickly ordered martial law throughout the city-state to arrest the assassin.
Lord Dick called the two of them "Assassins", but they didn't assassinate anyone. If they did, they were just assassinating Seth's idol. After the first "Assassin" rushed into the temple and swung his sword, he broke through the roof and walked away without stopping. When the priests rushed into the temple, they saw Lord Yi Bin standing on the ground looking at the statue of Seth with a shocked expression on his face.
On the tall and solid stone statue, a crack slowly appeared between the brows, and then the crack spread and forked more and more. There was a crackling sound in the temple, and the statue of Seth was covered with cracks and gradually became It was like a spider's web, and then it collapsed suddenly, and the ground was shattered.
Rod Dick ordered the arrest of the "Assassin", but who was the Assassin? do not know! What does it look like? Nobody sees it! How to catch it, there is no way to find it! But Rod Dick had to make such a gesture. The An-La Legion and the city-state garrison were dispatched urgently to search for suspicious people day and night all over the territory. dog jump!
This matter was quite serious. During the city-state sacrificial ceremony, military and political officials were all present, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, someone actually smashed the statue of the archangel with a sword! If it is pursued, everyone including Rod Dick and Yi Bin will be guilty. Knowing that the "Assassin" couldn't be caught, Rod Dick had to do his best to hunt it down. At the same time, he had already written an apology, and was about to send someone to the royal capital of Eju together with a detailed report of the incident.
Rod Dick is having a hard time, but he actually knows who those two people are. Amon was the first to rush into the temple and swing his sword. Although no one could see his face clearly, Rod Dick was very familiar with his figure and aura, and he could recognize him even at a glance. The second one who swung an ax in the air to repel Yi Bin was of course Gabriel. It seems that this great warrior has found Amon, and followed Amon to do such absurd things, instead causing Rod Dick to suffer an unwarranted disaster.
After the confession was written, Rod Dick called his confidant again, and told him in private who he should greet and what kind of gift he should give in the capital, so as to help him speak accommodatingly. This incident is considered bad luck for him, and Pharaoh will definitely order a reprimand, just reprimand him, as long as there is no substantive punishment. Before he finished speaking, he heard another piece of news, which greatly relieved Rod Dick.
It turned out that just three days after the statue of Seth in the main temple of the cape city-state was cut to pieces with a sword, the same thing happened to the city-state of Tanis, which is the closest to the cape city-state. There was no sacrificial ceremony in Tanis City that day, everything was peaceful, but suddenly someone flew in the air and knocked out a big hole in the roof of the main temple, slashed at the statue of Seth with a sword, and then flew away from the big hole, no one was there. After reacting, the priests watched helplessly as the idol split into pieces and collapsed.
When the city lord Tanis received the emergency report, he was going downstairs just after eating, when his feet softened and he rolled down the stairs and broke an arm. The guards standing beside him were severely punished, how could he not help the city lord
The Lord Tanis was not as calm as Rod Dick when he encountered an accident, probably because he was scared enough. On the other hand, Rod Dick felt relaxed. Although he didn't know why Amon and Gabriel did what they did, he also understood what they were doing. They didn't intend to make trouble for the Cape City-state and take the blame for him. There will definitely be reprimands from the pharaoh, but there will be no substantive punishment, and maybe there will be a few private words of relief.
Rod Dick calmly asked his subordinates to go to the capital as originally planned, and there were also a lot of gifts and apologies. At the same time, he paid close attention to the movements of other city-states. As expected by the shrewd city lord, seven days later, the same thing happened in the city-state of Busiri, west of the city of Tanis; The "Assassin" broke into the middle again, and smashed the statue of Archangel Seth with a sword.
Over the next month or so, earth-shattering "major events" occurred one after another in the city-states of Atri, Luokai, and Helio on the east bank of the Loni River. The content is the same, but the time and place are different. A crazy "assassin" rushed into the city-state lord's temple suddenly. He did nothing but slashed at the statue of Archangel Seth with his sword, and then flew away into the sky.
When he was in the cape city-states, Gabriel showed up with Amon, but when something happened to these city-states later, Gabriel didn't show up at all.
This person must be crazy, a lunatic among lunatics, to make such crazy actions beyond the imagination of the world! But he is so powerful, powerful and terrifying! People have been talking about him as a great magician who has gone crazy, and at least an eighth-level magician, because he can fly, and the power of the sword in his hand has a dazzling and shocking magical effect. As for what kind of divine art it is, ordinary people don't know.
What kind of weird and terrifying existence is a great magician who does not hold a staff but uses a sword? What a solemn and noble place the temple is, but the man rushed in like he was kicking the door to seek revenge. It doesn't seem like he's a desperado, this man didn't hurt anyone, he just attacked the statue of Seth. I don't know how many large and small statues of Seth are there in various parts of Eju, but this person is looking for the one in the main temple of each city-state.
So far, for more than two months, that person has smashed the statues of Seth in the main temples of the seven city-states east of the Lower Aeguroni River. The sky is upside down. The garrison troops from all over the country dispatched to search one after another, and the Eju School of Theology and the Imperial Army also sent a large number of experts to hunt him down.
As for the other city-states that the assassins have not yet patronized, they are all on guard, and the guards of their respective main temples are airtight, and they must not let this "blasphemy demon" succeed again. Amon's current title has risen from "Assassin" to "blasphemous demon". His purpose is not to fight the army, but to destroy a statue of a god that is placed there immobile. Maybe when will it appear in which city-state.
The city-states of Ecu could not remove the statue of Seth from the main temple, dig a pit and bury it, right? In fact, when Amon destroyed the statues of Seth in the four city-states, the nearby city-states had already been on guard, but he succeeded. The small city-states in the hinterland of Eju, which are not strategically important, cannot have too many masters in command. Even if a group of priests and warriors are sent to guard the gate of the temple, they may not be able to stop Amon's sudden attack.
The city-state of Helio also specially gathered all magicians to set up a large magic array in the temple, but the magicians couldn't set up a guard day and night, and there was no movement after waiting for a month. When everyone relaxed , Amon suddenly crashed into the gate one morning and rushed into the temple. Before the priests had time to activate the magic array, Amon swung his sword and left.
So far, no one has seen the face of this lunatic. Although Rod Dick knew it, he didn't tell anyone. Everyone didn't know that the "blasphemy demon" was Amon. Later, various rumors spread like a plague in the Ecu Empire, and some people even commented that the man was not a demon, but a god who had hatred against Seth!
Of course, there are many masters in the Eju Empire. The Eju Theological Academy also sent special personnel to various city-states to inspect the statues that had been chopped up by the demons. According to the situation, it is agreed that the man is at least an eighth-level great samurai, or even a ninth-level great samurai.
A great samurai who can fly freely is shocking! In the traditional concept, this is the divine power possessed only by the gods or the messengers of the gods. A powerful samurai could leap into the temple like the demon and smash the idol, and he could also break through the roof and run away, but it was impossible to fly straight into the sky without a trace in an instant.
The messengers of the gods are usually called gods in the world, such as the cat god Best, the frog god Hequet, the crocodile god Sobek, etc. There are ten gods in the nine-linked pantheon, including Horus, and the rest The gods are regarded as messengers of the gods. Now the Ecu Empire believes in Allah as the only god, so the rest of the gods and angels are called angels, and Seth is the leader of the angels.
If you are facing such an "angel", then the situation will be even more serious!
Some great magicians privately discussed that this might be revenge from Horus, the former god of the empire. One of the patriarchs of Eju Theological Academy, the high priest of the former Isis Temple and now the Temple of Seth, Burke inspected the two destroyed statues, and secretly reported to Pharaoh Eraht that the means of destroying the statues was exactly like that of Duke. The town's miner skills, so it is guessed that the person is likely to be Amon.
Bourke was right, and his guesses were well founded. Because after General Amon left Eju, he was enshrined as God Amon in the city of Salem in the Duke Plain, perhaps he really has the means of a god.
Is Amon really a god who came to the world, or a messenger sent by a certain god to the world, otherwise, how could a miner in the small town of Duke miraculously establish the meritorious service of Megatron Continent? Those who saw Burke's secret report couldn't help but think so, but no one could say it publicly.
Although Amon has been away from Eju for a year, the reputation of the great general of the empire has not diminished, and he is worshiped and admired by many people. The poems praising him are still being sung everywhere. Pharaoh Eju sent people to hunt down Amon, but there was no public secret order. On the surface, General Amon did not violate any Eju decree. As for the killing of Prince Snake, it was left behind. People are willing to mention his name, but Amon's influence among the people is getting bigger and bigger.
As far as the matter is concerned, Amon only went to the territory of Duk Plain, which is also his hometown, and was awarded to Amon by the late Pharaoh Lasis II. Therefore, the general's behavior was not a defection, but just returned to his hometown with the pharaoh's reward after making great achievements to build the city-state of his dreams. On the way back to his hometown, Amon also defeated Hattite's great magician Celia, the beautiful invincible princess, and thus gained the support of the Hattite Empire for him to establish a city-state.
This is how Amon's story is told among the people, and it is also true that Amon's reputation in the hearts of the Egyptians has not diminished in the slightest, but his legendary story has attracted more people's yearning and admiration, and its influence has even exceeded Any famous hero in history!
Amon was regarded as a god in the city of Salem. After hearing about it, many people worshiped him even more from the bottom of their hearts. If the gods really came to the world and experienced everything as a mortal, then it should be like Amon. This is the God that people dream of.
Why Amon has such a big influence, many people probably didn't expect it, but it is reasonable to think about it carefully. In this hierarchical society, Amon's experience broke through too many constraints and obstacles, which is the dream of most ordinary people.
He was born as the son of a lowly miner in Duke Town. When he was young, his home was destroyed and he wandered all over the world. However, he made great achievements in the continent and established a miraculous city-state in his hometown. He was finally regarded as a god by people. His story is more inspiring than the deeds of any high-ranking emperor.
Many people worship Amon, and to put it bluntly, it is also out of a psychology of self-substitution and compensation. It is impossible for most people in the world to have a noble origin, but Amon was once like them. Even if you can't do things yourself, you can dream about it. Amon's achievements seem to be like his own achievements in his dreams.
Even if Pharaoh Erracht and a few high-ranking officials of the empire agree with Burke's guess, it is difficult to say it publicly. If the Ecu Empire really caught the blasphemous "demon" and found that he was Amon, they would not declare him to be Amon, but give him another name or the title of a demon.
But it is not easy to catch the "demon". Even if he is not an "angel", a ninth-level warrior escapes without a single blow. It took more than two months just to destroy the seven statues. Whereabouts, not to mention the mobilization of masters to pursue.
After seven city-states had accidents one after another, the erratic whereabouts of the "devil" finally gradually became clear, and all seven city-states east of the Ronnie River in Lower Eju had accidents. Judging from the route he passed, he should enter the territory of Eju from the cape city-state, from east to west and then south, and the next step is to cross the Ronnie River to reach Memphis City.
People who already knew or guessed that the "demon" was Amon, such as Rod Dick, knew what was going on in their hearts—Amon was avenging the Holy Maiden of Mary, and he wanted to destroy Amon one by one. The statues of Seth, who lived in the main temples of the city-states throughout the territory, openly challenged and humiliated the archangel in front of the world.
