Amon didn't explain where he went yesterday, and he couldn't explain it to Link, and there are some secrets that don't need to be known. He asked Link if there was an area rich in iron ore near Link, maybe he could find swamps and pools where the iron armored beasts could live.
Link thought for a while and replied: "There is really such a place, there is a water pool in the dense forest under the iron ore-producing rocks in the southeast of the village, not far from the road leading to the outside of the mountain, do you want to put these iron-clad beasts Is it raised next to the village?"
Amon smiled and said: "Why, are you scared? In fact, iron armored beasts don't eat people. They are omnivores, eating aquatic plants, fish and shrimp in the mud, and occasionally preying on small animals. These iron armored beasts are just They are a bit bigger and fiercer, but they are already very human. If they are subdued by me, they will not hurt the people here. If they are kept there, they can become the protection beasts of the village.
As for you, you can't be afraid of them all the time. You may be able to use them as opponents for practice after you get used to them. They are very smart and know what you want to do. Practice hard, and when you become a third-level magician, I will give you a real magic staff and a fighting weapon. "
Hearing this, Link, who was a little worried at first, immediately beamed with joy, his mouth almost couldn't close, nodded repeatedly and said: "God Amon, thank you for your gift, how dare I accept it! I don't know how pious you are!" What can I do for you, waiter?"
Amon waved his hand: "You have done a lot for me, if there is anything I need, I will tell you directly."
Link rolled his eyeballs, and said tentatively, "God Amon, can I ask you something?"
Amon lowered his head and began to eat the meat, swallowed the roast meat in his mouth before saying, "Speak up if you have something to say."
Link stammered a little: "Can I... learn to write? You know that our people are illiterate, and you said I'd better learn to write... But who can teach me?"
Amon replied without thinking: "Oh, you should learn to write, otherwise it will be very difficult to learn some brilliant divine arts in the future. I will teach you when I have time. This is not easy, you have to work hard to learn it."
Link nodded like a chicken pecking at it: "Of course, I will definitely work hard, thank you for your gift!... No matter how difficult writing is, it can't be more difficult than magic, right?"
Link was elated when he walked, and felt that his steps were so light that he was about to fly. Finally, a stone in his heart was let go. Yesterday morning when Amon asked about the way to the outside of the mountain, he was worried that Amon would leave suddenly, and then Amon disappeared with the cat. Link once suspected that he had left without saying goodbye, not to mention how sad he was.
Just now I tentatively asked Amon if he could teach him to write? On the one hand, he really wanted to learn, and on the other hand, he was trying to test Amon's attention. Learning to write is not a matter of one or two days, at least it means that Amon will stay here for a long time. Amon also said that if he wanted to give him a real magic staff, it must wait until he became a third-level magician.
The excited Link forgot that Amon only had a branch and a leather pocket beside him, and no staff at all, so where did he get it for him? But Link didn't think too much about it. Amon was almost like a god in his mind, and it was possible to create any miracle. Even the five ferocious iron armored beasts were brought back like honest kittens.
…
As a landslide cut off a tributary of the Youdi River, a barrier lake was formed under the plateau, the road leading to the city-state of Syria was submerged, and Amon's retreat was cut off. Even if this road can still go through, Amon has no retreat, Duke Town has long since disappeared, and he cannot go back after being exiled.
Now Amon has two choices, one is to stay in the village and continue to practice physical and divine arts; the other is to go down the mountain and enter the Baron Kingdom through another road, which will be the first stop of his tour of Tianshu Continent. He had no intention of staying in the troglodyte village forever, but he was in no hurry to travel far. Last night in the cave, he had already thought clearly. Next, he had to practice physical skills to pass the test of "purity of blood" to become a fourth-level intermediate warrior, and then continue to practice divine arts to advance to a fourth-level magician. will leave.
Meditation with eyes closed is not enough to practice mid-level and high-level magic arts. The perception of the world is also an important experience that magicians must experience, otherwise they cannot comprehend the mysteries of higher-level magic arts. If it weren't for this, the old lunatic wouldn't have traveled all over the mainland for a hundred years.
But the test of "purity of blood" that Amon will face in the next step, Bell's commentary makes it very clear that it needs to concentrate on cultivation and experience the changes in the body, preferably in a quiet and undisturbed environment, then This troglodyte village is the perfect place.
After Link left, Amon noticed Schrödinger again. The pot of barbecue has been eaten up, and the cat is sleeping soundly in the grass nest. Although it is very depressed, it does not treat itself badly. Amon's leather pocket was placed next to the grass nest, and it contained the bone. If it was normal, Schrödinger would have put the bone in his mouth and pawed it to sleep, but he didn't have it today.
It's not that Schrödinger hasn't touched the leather pocket, the opening of the leather pocket has been opened by the cat's claw, exposing a corner of the bone, but Schrödinger didn't take it away. It seems that the cat can't move the bone, which may mean that Schrödinger does not possess magical powers, and his previous guesses may be wrong.
Amon brought the bones over, took out the items stored inside one by one, and studied them carefully. Since he promised to give Link a staff, let's choose it now. I didn't look at the weapons much. What Amon was most interested in were the scrolls. There were eight scrolls in total, with different sizes and lengths.
This was the first time Amon came into contact with a scroll of divine art. Of course, such a precious artifact of divine art could not have been touched by the son of a blacksmith before. It is very difficult for him to figure out the usefulness of the scroll, because this kind of thing cannot be opened once it is written. After being activated with mana, it will activate a magic spell, and it is a one-time consumable item.
If the person who wrote the scroll didn't explain it himself, and it fell into the hands of someone who didn't understand the scroll, others might not know what kind of magical effect and power it would be after unfolding, so they couldn't easily use it. Writing a scroll not only takes a lot of effort, but it may not be successful. No one wants the magical power that he has painstakingly condensed to be used by others, unless he voluntarily gives it to someone, and he will make it clear to the user at this time.
Of course, there are specific forms for the production of various scrolls. Those who are very familiar with scrolls or those who are very good at detecting divine arts can recognize many kinds of scrolls without explanation, but Amon does not have that ability now.
Some of the scrolls he got may not have been made by the bearer himself. There are markings written on the outside of the scrolls. At a glance, it is known that they are used by magicians from Eju, because the writing on them is the cursive script of the gods. The text explained what kind of magic spell was cast after the scroll was unrolled, and what kind of power it had.
Amon was lucky, five of the eight scrolls were marked on the outside, and they were scrolls of different types of middle-level divine arts. This kind of thing is very useful at critical moments, which means that you don't need to spend your own mana to cast the corresponding middle-level magic. If Mei Danzuo saw it, he would definitely calculate how much these magic scrolls were worth, and then he would be surprised.
There are no marks on the other three scrolls, and Amon can't recognize what kind of scrolls they are. Naturally, he doesn't dare to use them casually. He can only put them away for the time being, and then take out the three staffs he got today, trying to test the magic spells separately. Effect.
The staff is not heavy, and Amon will bring it if he can. This kind of thing is different from armor weapons. After it is destroyed together with the inlaid god stone, its fragments are useless. There are only three complete staffs in the cave. branch.
Among them, the most special staff is made of yellow-brown wood, which is very strong and durable, and it still shows no sign of decay after thirty years. Inlaid on the top is actually a pupil of the earth. Of course, the precious special sacred stone shows the extraordinaryness of this staff. I don't know how it was made. The pupil of the earth seems to be naturally grown in the wood grain and wrapped Then, only a few sharp corners were exposed.
Amon had just activated this sacred stone with mana, and before he could run the staff to test the effects of various divine spells, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Those who are lucky enough to come here and pick up my staff! No matter you Who is it? Please listen to my last words. I am Nero, the chief priest and seventh-level great magician from the Cape Temple of the Aiju Empire.
I am ordered by the Ecu Empire to hunt down Bell and the betrayed saint. I don't believe that Onion will betray the goddess, and Bell is also kind to me, but I have to carry out the order of the empire, which is also an oracle! I heard the voice of Horus in the temple, ordering me to find these two people and kill them. It is really Horus, the god I have believed in all my life.
Bell is a destroyer, he will destroy himself if he offends the gods, and I will fight him and face destruction, because I know his strength. There was such a crack in my mind, why didn't the omnipotent Horus personally condemn Yu Bell, but sent an oracle to let me go? It is precisely because of this slight hesitation that I leave this message..."
The pupil of the earth can be used as a carrier of information magic. The pupil of the earth that the old lunatic gave Amon left a lot of information. Back then, the owner of this staff was also proficient in information magic, and left a last word in the pupil of the earth, but Amon accidentally read it.
This person claimed to be the chief priest of the Cape Temple, which should have happened thirty years ago. He was one of the great magicians who were ordered to hunt down Bell. It seems that Bell's troubles are not small, even Horus, the king of Aiju, was alarmed, and even sent an oracle to the great magician.
Knowing the lesson of being distracted when reading the magic information last time, but the information was interrupted and disappeared, Amon was surprised but not distracted, and still focused on stimulating the pupil of the earth. The voice of the magician continued—
