Amon is a child who has never traveled far. He doesn't know what to do by himself. The old lunatic actually asked him to bring a cat! Cats don't listen to people like dogs, and they can't be taken away if they want to. He asked with some embarrassment: "Why did you let me take Schrödinger with me? Can it go with me?"
What the old lunatic said next surprised Amon again—
"Schrödinger has been with me for thirty years, and I have never heard it bark except for the information magic that Bell sealed on it, and its appearance has not changed at all, and it is impossible for me to even hug it. But it didn't go away, it stayed in Duke Town, and suddenly came with me just now, maybe it was waiting for today. Amon, this is not an ordinary cat. Schrödinger may be your guide. Its origin Extraordinary, I haven't told you yet."
Amon asked in surprise: "What is its origin? What else did you not tell me?" It has gone far beyond ordinary people's understanding.
The old lunatic did not answer, but asked again: "Do you know where you are going?"
Amon looked at the two certificates he just got in his hand and said, "Isn't it the Eju Empire? You should ask the mayor to give this to me. With it, I can go across the desert to Eju."
The old lunatic shook his head: "No, that's just for your future. I asked the mayor to announce that decree in public. It's not entirely an excuse. I really want you to find Bell's whereabouts. Think about it carefully. Think, who in the world is most likely to find where Belle was last seen?"
Amon pointed to the cat on the ground: "Of course it's Schrödinger! But you haven't been able to let him take you there for so many years, how can I do it, maybe it has long forgotten... Do you have anything else to tell me?" If you didn’t tell me, it’s already this time, please tell me once.”
The old lunatic also took a look at Schrödinger: "Then I will tell you everything, Bell not only took away the Saintess Onion and the Tears of the Gods from the Temple of Isis, but according to the secret information I have inquired over the years, he also stole A holy relic and a cat were gone. The Temple of Isis had issued a secret order to retrieve these two things, and only the high priests of Ecu knew about them.
It's normal to find the sacred object in secret, and the Temple of Isis doesn't want the news of the lost sacred object to be made public, but why are you looking for a cat, and why did Bell take a cat away? There must be some mystery in it that is worth investigating. Although Bell didn't tell me, I guess that the cat must be Schrödinger. But for thirty years I have never solved this mystery, and Schrödinger never paid attention to me.
To tell you the truth, I have tried to find Bell's whereabouts through Schrödinger many times over the years, but I have never been successful. It seems that this cat likes you more. I saw you hold it. This is the most surprising thing I have seen in thirty years.
Next, you should practice the second-level divine arts. The test you will face is "firmness of faith". I have only explored the secrets of the gods here. My child, this road is very difficult. I won't let you call me teacher because of this. The road you are going to walk is not what I can guide.
Bell obviously knows more, and finding Bell's whereabouts is your first step in unlocking the secrets of the gods. He must have left a message on how to go on the road ahead! Leave Duke Town to find Bell, maybe you will succeed with this Schrödinger. Don't be afraid, with your current achievements, it is no problem to travel through the mountains to deal with ordinary beasts or cave dwellers, and I hope you will not regret it in the future. "
The old lunatic said a long word, then reached out and patted Amon on the shoulder. Amon lowered his head and said, "I'm not afraid, and I don't regret it."
The old lunatic let out a long sigh of relief: "Son, I did not misunderstand you. Now try to see if you can take Schrödinger away. If you can take him away, there is hope to find Bell's whereabouts."
How to bring it? The old lunatic stood aside, and Amon took a few steps forward and called back, "Cat, cat, come with me... Schrödinger! Come with me!... Good cat, let's go."
Amon yelled for a long time, but Schrödinger ignored him, but he just turned around and squatted down again, with an attitude that seemed very arrogant, and stretched out a front paw to point at Amon, just like a nobleman summoning his servants to help him Stance. This dirty, lazy, greedy and fat cat is not small.
Amon froze for a moment, walked over and hugged Schrödinger. Schrödinger yawned and curled up and fell asleep! The old lunatic also had a wry smile on his face, and quietly pointed to the big leather pocket that Amon straddled obliquely. You can't hold the cat even when you go over mountains and mountains. Amon gently put Schrödinger into the leather pocket. The vacant space is just enough to hold it, and the opening on the top will not keep the cat stuffy.
"Amon, I have one last word. Please keep it in mind and do what I say. Don't rush to find Bell's whereabouts. Go east from here. No matter how difficult it is, don't look back. Three You look around the sky, then climb up the highest mountain you can see, and only go up the road.
When the third layer of cloud is also under your feet, find a place to practice magic arts, the most important ones are water element magic and air element magic. You can use the Blue Water Heart and Wind Charm Dance to embed them into the staff, and then embed the other two standard god stones to use together.
You are very proficient in the low-level water element magic. With the wind charm dance, it is not difficult to learn the air element magic, but ordinary magicians are often only proud of the magic of power, but forget their own magic How insignificant is the power compared to the elemental power in nature.
So when you practice these two kinds of divine arts, don't pursue how advanced they are, but also pay attention to how to resist, use and protect yourself in the face of the natural elements. If you can control a drop of water, you must learn how to keep this drop of water from being scattered in the river. After learning these, you will already be an excellent magician, and your dipolar body technique will reach its peak.
Whether you've made it or not, stay on top of the mountain for a while and watch the clouds to the west. When the clouds are thick and lingering, find a place to hide, and don't let the lightning from the heights hit you. Wait until the cloud of reunion dissipates and the thunder ceases to sound, and then you take Schrödinger to find Bell's whereabouts.
These are things you must remember! "
The old lunatic's last words seemed to come from mid-air, and Amon looked up in astonishment, only to see that the old lunatic had already flown away, his figure brushing against the treetops like a huge strange bird. After he disappeared, a voice came from nowhere: "Amon, if you can't find Bell, kill that cat and eat it, everything depends on yourself."
…
The lonely Amon walked through the mountains alone, heading east all the way, and there was no road under his feet. He tried his best to pick a place to walk, holding the heavy fine iron staff in his left hand, and pulled out the mayor's staff in his right hand. The knife that gave him cut through all thorns and thorns. It is impossible to go too fast in such a terrain, the mountains are getting more and more steep, the landforms are becoming more and more complex, and the gullies cut between the tall peaks are getting deeper and deeper.
If he didn't have extraordinary physical strength and quick response, it would be impossible for him to go far here. Occasionally, faint trails can be seen in the lush jungle, which should be stepped on by cavemen. Amon still doesn't know how capable he is, so he doesn't think of conflicts, and avoids them as carefully as possible.
He quickly understood why the old lunatic taught him the magic of water element first. A person can go without food for several days, but it is almost impossible to go without water for a day. In the evening, Amon found a dry rock crevice in the mountain and prepared to rest. It was impossible to walk this kind of mountain road after dark. He cleaned up the surroundings, lit a bonfire and prepared to make some food, only then remembered that there was no water, and he did not bring a kettle.
The water seemed to be not far away. From this hillside down, there was a faint sound of running water in the deep mountain stream, but there was no way to pass by. Amon couldn't fly, so naturally he couldn't float down to the deep mountain stream under the cliff to get water, and the air flow over the deep stream was so complicated that even the birds didn't dare to fly around. Fortunately, he can summon the water element to condense the water in the environment for his own drinking, which is convenient and clean.
He wanted to take out a small pot and special beef floss from his backpack, but when he opened the backpack, he heard Schrödinger burp, and he crawled out lazily with the smell of alcohol. Amon did not bring water but brought a bottle of wine. His father specially gave it to him. The merchants transported to Duke Town are basically good wines. The most common ones cost a silver coin a bottle, but his father usually bought them by barrel. of.
But this bottle of wine is worth fifteen silver coins, and it is packed in a beautiful copper bottle. It is the best wine in Amon's family-in fact, no matter where it is in the mainland, it is also a top-quality wine. Amon discovered that the cork of the wine bottle had been opened at some point, and Schrödinger drank down every drop of the wine. What a luxury to have with this cat!
Schrödinger was lazy and showed no shame at all. Didn't he know that he just drank up the wine worth fifteen silver coins in one go? Amon couldn't argue with a cat either. He cast a magic spell to condense a pot of pure water out of thin air, and poured the old lunatic's special beef into it. The beef melts in the boiling water, with an attractive aroma, just like fresh beef soup, even the taste is adjusted.
Amon took out a spoon to scoop out the beef soup, blew it gently and drank it in one sip, it was so delicious! Only then did he feel that although he was not very tired after walking the mountain road for a day, he was indeed hungry. After taking a few sips, he suddenly saw Schrödinger sauntering over, sitting on the opposite side of the fire, raised his front paw and pointed to the bushes on the left.
Amon also sensed movement over there immediately, but Schrödinger obviously discovered the anomaly earlier than him. Maybe this is the instinct of wild beasts, but this cat doesn't look like a "wild" beast anyway, but its ability to sense the environment But it is so sensitive that even Amon can't match it.
Amon has always been very calm. Although he was a little flustered and scared, he just waved the "branch" calmly. A fine mist rose immediately, condensed into bone-piercing ice crystals and flew into the bushes, and then heard a sound of rolling and crushing several bushes, and fled quickly.
Amon only saw a long tail flicking among the bushes. It was a black-bellied boa constrictor in the jungle. Maybe this crevice in the rock was where it lived, or it might be attracted by the beef soup and the bonfire. The boa constrictor is most afraid of cold air, which will make its body stiff and slow in movement, and it was scared away by a piece of bone-piercing ice crystal sacrificed by Amon.
His staff was inlaid with a blue water heart, which is why Amon performed divine magic so easily. He himself was taken aback, and said to Schrödinger with lingering fear: "Thank you for reminding me!"
The scene looked a little funny, a fat cat was sitting there with a big face, and a person opposite was talking to it seriously, and Amon was silent for too long, no one could talk to him at all. I don't know if Schrödinger understood, and he pointed that paw forward again, with a proud and reserved expression, clearly referring to the pot of beef soup.
Looking at the cat's expression, if it can talk, it is clearly saying in a commanding tone: "Hey, kid! Give me a bowl."
Amon almost made it amused, and he didn't feel as scared as before. Although he knew that Schrödinger was a magical cat, it was too funny for a cat to behave like this. He couldn't help but want to laugh, waved the spoon in his hand to Schrödinger and said, "I only have one spoon, wait until I'm full, and I'll give you the pot."
Schrödinger's tail suddenly stood up, and he patted the ground. He seemed very dissatisfied, turned his body and walked away, slowly walked to the backpack and lay down, panting with his eyes open, and did not sleep.
Amon's heart was very real, he only ate half of a pot of beef soup, and when the remaining half pot was almost no longer hot, he brought it to Schrödinger and whispered: "Cat, you are hungry, eat quickly! "
As a result, Schrödinger turned his head and closed his eyes, as if he didn't even want to look at it. Seeing that the cat didn't eat and he wasn't too full, Amon couldn't waste the half pot of beef soup, so he ate it all. After eating, with a wave of the staff, a transparent water mist swept across, and then turned into a cloudy water mist and flew out, and the pot was clean.
Schrödinger opened his eyes and glanced at him. It seemed a bit surprised and a bit mocking. If other magicians saw Amon perform such an exquisite water element magic just to wash the pot, they would be shocked and even want to vomit blood. This is the work of humble servants, how can a noble magician use divine magic to do it
Besides, the power of divine magic is not used in this way, and it is wasted on such boring things in this dangerous environment!
Schrödinger refused to eat, and Amon had no choice. He found dry soft grass and spread it on the ground, sat down with a fine iron branch in his hand, closed his eyes and began to meditate on the air element magic that the old lunatic taught him. He had just meditated on the simplest formula for summoning the air element in his heart, and before he could try it, he heard a sullen meow.
This is Schrödinger's voice. This cat that has not meowed for thirty years actually meowed today. The sound sounds a little like a growl. Amon, who was practicing divine arts, was interrupted from his meditation. He turned his head and looked over, and found Schrödinger lying on the ground with his head resting on his two front paws and turned his head to stare at him. Schrödinger's eyes were very strange, reminding Amon of the mayor standing in front of the temple and watching all the townspeople.
What does Schrödinger want to do? It clearly wanted to eat just now, but it refused to eat when Amon handed it to him. When Amon finished the whole pot of beef soup, it became unhappy again. Anyway, nothing else, Amon sat there thinking about the cat, and suddenly remembered an unforgettable experience.
During the three days when he was Mary's servant, he ate the best food in his life, but after eating, Mary said: "Amon, I will give you these." Then Amon I took the dining table downstairs to eat in the kitchen. Anyway, there were a lot of things prepared for Maria, and she could only finish half of them at most. Moreover, Maria also has a habit of having two plates of food for each meal without moving one piece, as if she deliberately left it for Amon.
Thinking of Maria, Amon looked at Schrödinger again, thinking to himself: Maria seems to have deliberately left two whole plates of food for me, knowing that I will eat her leftovers, but if the situation is reversed, of course she will not eat it. It may eat my leftovers, and it is impossible to eat with me. Does this cat think that its status is very honorable
After thinking for a long time, Amon finally sighed and decided not to bother with the cat. The old lunatic said that it might be the only guide to lead him to find Bell's whereabouts. And during this long and lonely journey, Schrödinger is also his only companion. Let's try to see if this cat means it.
Amon is very smart, he guessed right!
He specially cooked a pot of delicious beef soup, put it in front of Schrödinger's eyes, then sat down and began to meditate, unfolding the "power bestowed by the gods" to communicate with the surrounding air, trying to summon and control the air element, For the first step he needs a gust of wind.
His staff is inlaid with the blue water heart and the charm of the wind, and there are two standard god stones, which are very handy to use. He quickly summoned a gust of wind to swirl in front of him, and then he controlled the breeze Blow the flames of the campfire into various shapes as a fun game.
After playing for a long time, he thought of the next step of the air element magic. With a wave of the staff, a transparent wind blade was condensed in the air, and a shallow trace was drawn on the ashes of the fire. At this time, he felt a little tired, so he decided to rest and added enough firewood to the campfire. When he looked back, Schrödinger had already finished the pot of beef soup, and he was sleeping soundly after slipping back into his skin, with half of his head exposed.
How can this fat cat eat and drink so well!
