The agreed meeting time was in the morning, and in the second half of the night, Semir and Faust hid their figures and quietly jumped down the city wall, heading towards the deep mountains of the Youdi River Valley to the east. In today's complicated situation, not only are the great achievers in the world on the Duke Plain attacking and defending each other, but there are also gods who are quietly watching this place. They didn't fly into the sky, but walked quietly among the wilderness jungles, leaving the plains and entering the deep mountains.
The Youdi River Valley is to the east of the Duk Plain. It is not as majestic and desolate as the Assyrian Plateau in the north, nor is it a fertile plain like the southern part of the plain. The mountains are steep and full of valleys, and the vegetation in the valley is lush. Standing tall is a place that is difficult for ordinary people to pass through, and it is also the most suitable place to hide your whereabouts. Naturally, Ge Lie set the date here to keep it secret.
Faust and Semir arrived at the designated place just as the sky was bright, and it was obvious at a glance that Ge Lie had made arrangements in advance so that both parties could rest assured. There is an independent hill, the surrounding peaks are far away, and the view is very wide on the top of the mountain. This place is hidden and can detect the movement in the distance at any time.
There was a table and two chairs on the top of the mountain, and Ge Lie was already sitting there waiting. The sun has not yet risen to the top of the distant peak, morning mist floats in the valley, dewdrops hang on the wet grass leaves, the surrounding is quiet and only the sound of birdsong in the distance can be heard. There was a person halfway up the mountain, without a weapon but standing there casually with arms folded. In the morning mist, there was an indescribable aura. It was Gilgamesh, the hero who shocked the continent a few years ago.
Semir stopped halfway up the mountain without saying hello, and stood facing Gilgamesh from a distance, watching Faust walk up to the top of the mountain.
Ge Lie knew that Faust was coming, but he didn't turn around and stand up to greet him, but just filled the glass opposite the seat with wine, and then sang softly—
"Your swaying figure is gradually approaching
The blurryness of the past reappears in front of my eyes
Is your heart still longing for the dreams of the past
Dreams rise and float from the morning mist,
The breath of youth in the chest is rippling and hard to calm down
Looking back at the past
Has the beautiful legend disappeared? "
Faust sat quietly opposite Ge Lie, and also sang—
"Who is whispering
Ethereal rhyme in the morning mist
Let the wine glass touch your lips to hear the voice of the dawn
Does it announce another beginning
Who else can I sing with leisurely,
Who is watching this remote mountains and plains
Who is singing soothing songs to forge new alliances. "
The singing of the two reached the ears of Gilgamesh and Semir at the same time, and they did not intend to hide the content of the conversation. Faust just wanted to take this opportunity to let Semier hear what he and Ge Lie said. As for Semir's reaction, it depends on what the queen thinks.
Ge Lie raised his cup and asked Faust with a smile, "How long has it been since we met?"
Faust raised his glass and said, "It's been ten years since the last time we met. I wish you well, old man!"
Ge Lie: "Thank you for your greetings, you are so young and promising! Breaking through the ninth level is still ahead of me, I should congratulate you, Master Sage Master!"
Faust lowered his head and said, "Ashamed! How dare you claim to be successful in front of you?"
Ge Lie asked again: "I'm very happy that you can come, at least it shows that you are still willing to trust me. Although we are enemies on the battlefield, there is no personal barrier between us. Do you know what I want to talk about when I invite you here? "
Faust replied: "Do you want to talk about the latest situation of the Assyrian Empire and the Tianshu Continent?"
Ge Lie shook his head: "No, the most important thing is not these, I just want to talk about your path and your choice. I know you a long time ago, how much you thirst for knowledge in this world, hoping to solve all problems, Change the destiny of the kingdom and the world around you. After years of planning by you, the Assyrian Empire has risen from strength to strength, should I congratulate you for getting your wish?"
Faust didn't answer but started to drink, he drank very slowly, sipping slowly with his lips against the rim of the glass, he drank the full glass before putting down the glass and said: "Why are you laughing at me, just say what you have to say Bar."
Ge Lie raised his eyes and looked straight into Faust's eyes and asked: "Then you can answer me directly, is this what you want to see now? Is it the world you dreamed of?"
Faust inadvertently glanced at Semir's ethereal figure at the foot of the mountain, and replied in a low and clear voice: "No, today's Assyrian Empire is not what I want to see."
Ge Lie asked unhurriedly: "Then can you tell me? What kind of Assyrian Empire do you want to see? There is no need to make assumptions about what has happened. Let's start from today and only look at the reality." Can it be done, if you will, speak your mind."
…
Amon was not at the meeting between Ge Lie and Faust. He was watching the movement here on a high mountain surrounded by rain clouds more than ten miles away, and the vast valley was under his surveillance. On the table between Ge Lie and Faust is a lamp of chasing the past, on which there is the incarnation sensor of Amon's temporary attachment, just like the statue of Amon, he can hear the conversation between the two, and he can even clearly perceive it. to subtle emotional changes in tone.
Ge Lie put the chasing lamp on the table without any disguise. Of course, Faust knew this magic weapon and knew that it could be used as the control center for detecting the magic circle. Of course, they should always pay attention to the movement around them when they are talking, but Faust did not expect that Amon could use this method to listen in from a far away place, as if sitting next to him. This is a means only possessed by the gods.
Amon was monitoring the movement of this valley among the mountains, but suddenly felt a little tightness in his back, as if he was also being watched. He is already a god, with inconceivable physical and mental sensations, able to perceive the slightest changes in everything in the world, how could he suddenly feel this way
He could "see" clearly without turning his head, there was indeed a person coming, stepped out of the void, and appeared not far behind him. From then on, he didn't feel nervous hostility from the person, but the powerful aura permeated the mountain top, which made Amon feel that it was difficult to even turn around.
Amon slowly turned around to face this person calmly, and asked in a deep voice, "Marduk?"
The one who stepped out of the void was another god. Like Amon, he used to explore and comprehend the power of the source without the guidance of the gods, and reached the realm of transcending immortality. Now he is stronger than Amon Existence is also one of the two main gods of the Anunna Apotheosis system, and Marduk believed in by the Kingdom of Baron.
Marduk has recently retreated steadily under Enlil's offensive, and the Kingdom of Baron is also in a precarious state. Judging from the current situation, in the near future, Enlil will reunify the entire Anuna God Realm. Duke's failure was irreversible. But seeing this god at this moment, he didn't have the look of a loser, and even looked radiant.
Marduk looked very young, and his stalwart figure was extremely fit. He was wearing an armor with exquisite patterns engraved on it, exposing his arms and calves, and his muscles were so masculine. Amon was already tall, but Marduk was half a head taller than Amon, with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, thick lips, and sharp facial features, like a handsome warrior.
Seeing Amon turn around and speak, Marduk showed a majestic smile: "Yes, I am Marduk. Congratulations, my friend! Among the gods, you and I should have more common languages, because we have both I have had the same experience. I still remember that when you fought against the Uruk army at the Red Point defense line, you called out my name to challenge in public, and I admire your courage."
Amon smiled lightly: "Yes, I once said on the battlefield 'Please Marduk!' Then I retracted that sentence. People are young and frivolous, and arrogance often comes from ignorance, at least the current I will not challenge you."
Marduk smiled and shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I was just joking just now. You must be surprised that I suddenly appeared here?"
Amon replied calmly: "To be honest, it's not too unexpected. I know you will show up sooner or later, but I don't know when and where it will be. What advice do you have for coming to me?"
Marduke looked at Amon with interest for a long time, and seemed to see no flaws, and said with a smile: "Amon, I'm here to help you. I heard that you are in a bad situation after becoming a god. what!"
Amon grinned and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but you seem to be in more trouble than me now."
Marduk snorted contemptuously: "My trouble? Are you talking about Enlil?"
Amon shrugged: "Isn't it? The Kingdom of Baron has surrendered to the Assyrian Empire, and you, as the main god, don't know what happened recently? Sinach is trying to completely control the Kingdom of Baron, if that's the case , you will lose the domain of the source of divine power, and you will also lose the status of the main god. I really didn't expect that you would still look so proud."
Marduk curled his lips: "So what? Do you want me to hide in the Kingdom of God and cry like an angry little daughter-in-law? Enlil can win in the world, but he can't hit me. If you tell me You don't care about the status of the main god of the Baron Kingdom at all, would you believe it?"
Amon shook his head and said, "I don't believe it's meaningless, it's just that you don't care. If you show up today, you won't just talk to me about this? If you want to lure me to join Anuna Enlightenment Yes, I have already refused."
Marduk waved his hand very chicly and said: "No, no, joining the Anuna Enlightenment Department is not a good choice for you. If I were you, I would not agree. In fact, I have wanted to talk to you a long time ago. Talk, but at that time you were not qualified to discuss any cooperation with me. As for today, the situation has changed."
Amon narrowed his eyes and said: "Oh, so you are also waiting for me to become a god? In this case, why did you send an oracle to prevent my people from returning to their hometown?"
Facing Amon's questioning, Marduk smiled indifferently: "Gods have their own thoughts, especially gods like me. No god wants the miners in Duke Town to go back there, unless they believe in It's me. I just made my agreement, but they actually went back. It's a pity, God Amon, your people don't believe in you as a god. I don't even know what kind of dream they made up. Imaginations that don’t exist…”
Amon interrupted him and said, "That's their own choice and has nothing to do with you. After all, your oracle didn't stop them from returning to their hometown. If you want to discuss cooperation with me today, who do you want to deal with?"
Marduk sat on the rock with a golden knife, waved his hand and said to the west: "Then there is no need to ask, of course it is Enlil! We have a common enemy, so we can sit down and have a good chat."
Amon also sat down, frowned and asked, "Didn't you just say it doesn't matter, why do you want me to help you deal with him?"
Marduk's expression was very profound: "It's not you who help me, but we help each other. In terms of strength, it's more I who help you. I don't care what victory Enlil won, but that doesn't mean Then I will forgive him, and Enlil will never let you go, just like Sinakh will never let Salem go. Instead of waiting for them to come to your door, let's discuss it now-how Get rid of them?"
Marduk may be the number one optimist Amon has ever met. He seems to be indifferent to the war situation in the world, and he still has an indifferent attitude when Enlil's battle for God's Domain has the upper hand. And he knew that Amon wanted to get rid of Sinach and support a new ruler in the Assyrian Empire, change its brutal national policy, and destroy this militaristic chariot. Marduk came to Amon but made another cooperation proposal - get rid of Enlil!
His tone was so understated, as if the name Enlil was just an ordinary code name, no different from a cat or a dog, and it was not the one who had driven him to retreat, another of the Anuna Enlightenment Department. Lord God.
His idea cannot be said to be unreasonable. Even if Enlil is in the world, no matter what kind of victory Assyria and Hatti have won against the Kingdom of Baron, if this god himself falls, the one who unified the Anunnah god system Wishes are nothing but a void. In the eyes of Amon, the same is true of the emperor's hegemony in Sinach's heart.
But it's not easy to get rid of Enlil. The process of this god's unification of Anuna's enlightenment domain is not just for the vanity of the world, but it can indeed make him more powerful. What's more, Enlil is scheming and has the achievements of the creator. As long as he doesn't make mistakes and seek death, there is almost no possibility of falling.
Just like Marduk has been forced to retreat by Enlil, but Enlil also has little chance to kill the god himself, and the result is nothing more than making another agreement.
But Marduk told Amon that according to the oath of the gods in the same pantheon, if Amon took the initiative to challenge Enlil, neither Marduk nor Mu Yun could help. But the situation is not necessarily the other way around. If Enlil took the initiative to challenge Amon, other people can intervene to help Amon.
With Enlil's scheming, if he really decides to attack Amon, he will not be given the chance to seek help from others. Fights between gods and spirits with the purpose of destroying each other are often very tragic. Enlil seems to have no intention of doing this at the moment. He only needs to win in the world, and he can force Amon and Marduk to nowhere, and he doesn't need to do anything himself.
But there is one situation that Enlil absolutely cannot tolerate, that is, Amun sent people to successfully assassinate Sinach, completely destroying Enlil's plan to unify the gods of the Anuna Kai god system. At that time, Enlil would feel that keeping Amon was his biggest mistake. If Amon unfortunately left alone and gave him an opportunity, Enlil would definitely do it.
After hearing this, Amon smiled wryly and said, "Great god Marduk, I understand what you mean! You want me to be a bait to catch Enlil, a big fish, but why should I take such a risk? Help you? As a way to solve problems between the gods, what kind of agreement should you and I have?"
Marduk's expression was full of confidence, as if he was not worried that Amon would refuse at all, and he said unhurriedly: "Of course you are willing to cooperate with me, the reason is very simple, you have a grudge against Enlil, it is absolutely impossible Compromise with him, and he will never let you go. Enlil just wants to find out your details first, and wait for the best time to get rid of you.
So you should find an opportunity to show your strength, and you don't have to hide or cover up anything, because you are not his opponent in the first place. Under certain circumstances, Enlil will definitely make a move as soon as possible, because he will feel that keeping you is a growing disaster, and your threat has even surpassed mine. "
Amon asked, "Under what circumstances?"
Marduk stretched out his hand and pointed to the small hill in the center surrounded by peaks: "That's Goret and Faust, right? One is the chief honorary elder of the Academy of Theology and the highest priest of Hatti, and the other is the chief priest of the Assyrian Empire. No one can replace the chief high priest, the sage national teacher. The reason why the domain of the source of divine power is meaningful lies in the belief of the people. I think that Ge Lie may have betrayed his respect for Enlil.
If Faust agrees to get rid of Sinach the Great and destroy Enlil's plan under your persuasion, it also means betraying the main god believed by the kingdom. Leaders who were supposed to call on people to believe in gods in the world turned their backs on gods. Do you think such gods are winners or losers
That would be an extremely dangerous signal. Even if Enlil unifies the realm of the gods in name, it probably means that the realm of the true source of divine power is being lost. The source of all this is because of your appearance. If you are a mortal, you will die in a short time, but you are already a god beyond immortality, so you must get rid of it as soon as possible. "
Amon nodded thoughtfully and said: "It makes sense, I saw the victory of Hatti and Assyria on the battlefield, but you saw the power of the god Enlil in Goret and Faust." Failure... I can help you get rid of Enlil, but what promise can you give me, don't tell me that getting rid of Enlil itself is helping me."
