"The high gods may be watching the world, watching how people express their faith and how to choose their own destiny. I have obtained the power bestowed by the gods. This power is to protect the dignity of the gods and the Ecu Empire. I think This is my destiny. God, I have not forsaken you!
But in this world, not only the gods have will, I am surprised where Bell's strength and courage come from? When he passed by the city-state of the Cape, I advised him to return to the embrace of the temple, but I didn't leave him behind. Bell told me that mortals can also be gods, and that gods deceive everyone, and we are all deceived.
Great Horus, I admit I'm curious! I once said to Bell, 'Don't tempt me', I have already rejected the temptation of the devil. But is the temptation of eternal life to become a god really the devil in people's hearts? I hope to get an answer, even at the last moment of my life-did Bell also destroy himself because of this temptation
I wanted to see Bell confirm the answer, so I let him and Connie leave the Ecu border. Although I couldn't stop him alone, I didn't try my best to stop him after all. He is my clan and my benefactor. At that time, I couldn't make up my mind to challenge him with all my courage.
But today I heard the voice of the gods, and Wangdu and Meng Feisi's team also came with the decree, ordering me to cooperate to hunt and kill Bell, and I knew that I could not escape this fate. My information magic came from Bell's guidance, and I also left a mark on Onion's ornaments—why did I do this, is it God's will
I set off in secret, too late to say goodbye to everyone, knowing that I would never come back, whether it was because of the gods or because of Bell.
My staff belongs to the Promontory Shrine. To those who got it, I hope you can return it for me. The gods will give back to the gods. I don’t want to owe anything in my life. You can read the message I left, it must be a magician, then I also left three scrolls next to the staff, this is my gift to you, to repay you for everything you have done.
I also left a ring, which is a relic of my family. Please also send it to my family in the cape city-state, and you will get another reward. There is my will in the ring, telling my descendants how to repay you. When you return the staff to the Cape Temple, please find Master Dick and ask him to ask a great magician who is proficient in high-level space magic to take out the will in the ring, read it out and make a notarization. Lord Dick is trustworthy. "
The great magician Nero's message ends here, and it is true, as if he was speaking in front of his eyes before his death. This is information that cannot be forged. At the same time, some other information was naturally printed in Amon's mind, introducing the three scrolls mentioned in the last words, which turned out to be the three scrolls that Amon could not identify.
The silvery-white axis, the slender branch is called "space turbulence", it can break the seal of the space barrier, and is the best means of escape when trapped by the magic space. However, the casting of space turbulence will produce countless space cracks, which may injure the caster himself, so it is a very dangerous high-level magic. Casting it with a scroll does not need to consume its own mana, and it can also use space artifacts to cover itself.
Another shorter scroll with a golden core is called "Information Annihilation". It can disrupt the sealed divine information, and it is a destructive divine technique. The clever information magic combined with space magic can not only be used to preserve and transmit information, but also can create various camouflages and traps. "Information annihilation" is used to destroy these traps and camouflages.
It seems that this great magician is well prepared. He knows that Bell is good at space magic and information magic, so he brought a targeted scroll that he made himself. For some reason, he didn't use it in the battle. Maybe it was too late or Do not use anymore.
These two are high-level magic scrolls. Although they do not need to consume corresponding mana in theory, they also have requirements for users. They can use mana to unfold the scrolls to control the casting of magic spells, so at least middle-level magicians to use. As for the last gray scroll, Nero did not introduce what it is. He only said that if he sent the staff and ring back to the city-state of the Cape according to his last words, he could check the records of his production of this scroll in the temple. There will be an account in the will.
But Nero especially emphasized that this gray scroll is extremely precious, and its value even exceeds that of the staff and the ring. It must not be used easily without his production instructions.
After reading it, Amon blinked his eyes and thought for a long time. This magician not only left a will in the staff, but also left a will in the ring. It seems that the ring is also a magic weapon of space. , you can collect things. And Nero specifically confessed that when he returned the staff to the Cape Temple, he asked Lord Dick, the chief political officer, to ask a great magician proficient in space magic to open the ring and read out the will.
This shows that it is very difficult to open the ring. At the same time, the trustworthy Lord Dick is asked to be notarized to ensure that his will can be executed and his family will not renege on their debts. Nero has left three scrolls as a reward for returning the staff, so what kind of reward will be given in the will for returning the ring? Amon was very curious, but unfortunately he couldn't see it.
Amon held the gray unnamed scroll in his hand and played with it for a long time. Nero actually said that this scroll is more precious than a staff and a ring, but if he does not carry out his last words, he will not get instructions for making it. An unusable and unrecognizable thing. Amon was skeptical, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. The great magician was worried that the person who got the relic would not follow his last words, so he said so on purpose.
Amon really guessed right! That gray scroll is absolutely unusable. If someone gets it but fails to fulfill Nero’s last wish, and keeps everything behind, and finally uses or sells that scroll without authorization, the result may be a dead end. It was the most precious scroll made by Nero in his life, the crystallization of painstaking efforts and craftsmanship, but its value cannot be measured by wealth, because its usefulness is too special.
Amon had never heard of Nero's famous name. Nero grew up in the cape city-state, and later became the chief priest of the cape temple. He became a great magician in his early twenties, and was hailed as "Nero the Genius". He is also the most brilliant scroll making master in the entire Eju Empire, obsessed with making various scrolls, and spent countless efforts and energy. Perhaps because of this, Nero never became an eighth-level magician for more than forty years.
The cape city-state of Eju, like the city-state of Syria in Hatti, is at the strategic point of the junction of various countries. Today, the city-state of Syria has an eighth-level great magician Ge Lie, and the cape city-state back then also had a great magician. Nero.
Back then, the power of the Cape Temple suffered the most in the hunt for Bell, because it was the closest to Bell's final escape route, and the most people were transferred. Many people, including the chief priest Nero, did not come back. At that time, the Eju Empire was already very powerful, and the Hatti Kingdom was surrendered through conquests, and the border has never been threatened. In addition, there is no great magician with aloof status who is willing to stay in this remote city-state, so in the past 30 years Cape City has been There is no great magician sitting in town anymore.
Now the chief administrator, Rod Dick, also serves as the chief priest of the cape city-state. He is not a great magician, but he is also a very talented local governor. As for the Lord Dick mentioned in Nero's last words, it was not Rod Dick, but Rod Dick's father. Although the city-state ruler formally needs to be appointed by Pharaoh Eju, it is a hereditary position in many places.
Amon can't understand the gray scroll anyway, and this staff seems to be unable to be handed over to Link. Regardless of whether he returns the staff to the Cape City in accordance with Nero's last words, it will always be useful to keep this thing of. He retracted the scroll and staff into the bone, shook the bone and took out a ring.
The appearance of this ring is very ordinary, just a simple ring, which looks like bronze in color, engraved with a circle of pentagon-shaped magic array patterns, and has no other inlays. Amon didn't pay much attention to it when he took it into the bone. Anyway, it was a complete small thing, and it was received in the invisible space. Now when he took it out alone, he felt that this small ring was very heavy, almost as thick as one side. As heavy as a thick horsesteel shield.
Amon has experience in using space artifacts, and knows that there is something in this ring, not just a will. It's funny to say that a mere third-level magician actually has three space artifacts in his hands. There is something in the ring that he can't see, and the Wind Charm Dance can't use it. It's the bone that he can barely activate, but it can't play a real role .
These are the treasures dreamed by magicians, and it would be a waste if they fall into Amon's hands. If the news spreads, how many people will envy and hate them!
The accident did not make Amon forget his original intention. After putting away everything, he finally picked another staff for Link. This staff is not inlaid with special sacred stones, but it is inlaid with seven ordinary sacred stones in a spiral shape, and the material is so special that Amon can't tell what it is made of.
Inlaying divine stones on the staff doesn't mean you can inlay as many as you want, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the more inlaid the better, the production process is quite complicated, and the effect of inspiring the divine spell must be bridged together. The more complex the staff, the higher the material requirements and the more difficult it is to make. This staff must be the work of a master craftsman. Amon tried it, and it can significantly enhance the effect of casting divine spells, especially the speed of launching divine spells is very fast.
Amon didn't think of it as something too good. After all, it was far worse than that bone, and it was obviously not as magical as the other staffs in his hand. It was just suitable for Link. Now Amon has a bit of a mentality of "wealth is like floating clouds". He has seen and owned too many sacred stones, and none of the things in his hands are treasures, and he has unconsciously become accustomed to it.
