Becoming a great magician is probably only a matter of time for Maria, as long as she has accumulated enough practice. Thinking of this, Amon couldn't help but looked at her staff and asked, "Ai Ko, are you already a sixth-level magician?"
Maria nodded: "Yes, many people hope that I will be promoted to a great magician as soon as possible, so that I can truly meet the status of a saint. In the past two years, most of my energy has been spent on practicing magic. Thank you, you mined the tears of the gods and let me have the best staff."
Amon suddenly said something for some reason: "The saint's staff is extremely rare, but I have an idea and suggestion, I don't know if it's right?"
Maria: "Say it."
Amon: "The staff makes you stronger. It is a symbol, but it does not mean that you are more noble and holy. People are just people. I have heard that clever magicians can perform various magic spells without the help of a staff. It is the real practice and accumulation, only in trials and battles will you pick up the staff to make your skills more proficient."
A samurai from a foreign land actually wanted to teach the saintess the cultivation of divine arts. If someone else was present, he would definitely scold Amon for his rudeness. Maria didn't mean to blame at all, and said with a little surprise: "Your suggestion makes sense, I'm just wondering, how do you understand this?"
Amon: "In the past two years, I have been to many places and experienced many things. Someone told me so, and I don't know if it is right."
Maria looked at what he was thinking, and suddenly asked, "Amon, do you want to learn magic too?"
Amon replied: "With my identity, I am not qualified to learn divine arts."
Maria laughed again: "I haven't seen you in just two years, and you are already a fifth-level warrior. If you can become a great warrior in the future and be loyal to the goddess Isis and the Ecu Empire, you will naturally be able to get the honor of being a warrior." Noble status. At that time, the second awakening of power can be performed for you, and you can learn auxiliary magic, just like Gabriel. I really hope to have the opportunity to perform this ceremony for you personally. I checked the relevant According to the records in the ancient books of Duke Town, I understand some things, you are a miner who can mine the tears of the gods, and it should be no problem to pass this ceremony."
The status of a great samurai is completely different from that of ordinary samurai, and he has already ranked among the top warriors on the mainland. No matter which country will give a loyal great samurai aristocratic status. The old lunatic once reminded Amon that the identity of the magician should not be exposed. When he becomes a great magician, everything will be easy to talk about. Today, Maria inadvertently pointed out another way. Becoming a great warrior and obtaining noble status can also conceal many secrets.
However, Amon was more interested in another matter. He leaned forward and asked, "About the records in the ancient books of Duke Town? May I ask what is said in it?"
There was a rare cunning look in Maria's eyes: "As a saint, of course I can't tell you the records of the Isis Temple, but I can give you a chance to see it yourself. If you become a great warrior, Obtaining the status of a nobleman to study divine writing, and at the same time being a great warrior belonging to the Temple of Isis, you can be allowed to enter the archives for inspection. I will tell you where to find it. At that time, you will know a lot of secrets about your hometown. Duke Town is a unique place. Ordinary place."
Listening to her tone, she actually wanted to suggest that Amon stay in the Temple of Isis, and what she said aroused great interest in Amon! Amon was very tempted, but thinking of the mission and promise he shouldered, he asked melancholy: "Aiko, can I have such an opportunity? How difficult it is to become a great warrior! I wonder if I can wait rise."
Maria looked at him, the sparkle in her eyes seemed to be a kind of silent comfort, and said softly: "Amon, your hometown is no longer there, do you have a place to go, and what are your plans?"
Amon looked directly into her eyes again: "I want to find the surviving clansmen in Duke Town and guide them to return to their hometown and rebuild their homes, but it is still a swamp, and I don't know when the flood will finally subside. I really don't know I only plan to go there a year later to see if there is any fertile soil out of the water?"
Maria: "Then follow my advice and publicly become a warrior of the Temple of Isis, so that you can protect yourself. The deaths of Vitru, Hewen and others are unknown. If you continue to walk alone, some people will definitely not I will give up the pursuit, this is the most powerful counterattack and the best protection... You want to go back to your hometown and have a look, then I can send you to that place to carry out the mission, okay?"
The words of the Holy Maiden are orders. She recruited a warrior for the Temple of Isis, which is the supreme honor of the orderee, but at this moment she spoke with Amon in a discussing tone. It's really hard for Amon to refuse, and he really has nowhere to go. It was a year after meeting with Medanzo in Link's tribe, and there is still a long time to go. He just killed Vitru and others, and continued to travel alone on the mainland, which is full of dangers. Maria's suggestion is his best choice.
Amon looked at her with gratitude in his heart. Today he finally called her "Aiko" to her face, and he couldn't help but think of that night in Duke Town... He held her in his arms, his body was so tight, his left arm was around her waist, and his right hand was on her soft chest superior. She seemed to be scalded by some kind of his heat, her breath had also burned him, and she was attracted to each other in the scorching heat.
She used to tremble in his arms, and his hands held her breasts tightly through the thin pajamas, and he could even clearly feel the texture of the protruding nipples, full of the sweetest temptation in the world. But when Amon lowered his head and was about to kiss her, he was suddenly pushed away, and everything ended at that moment.
Amon suddenly had an urge, he wanted to stand up and walk over, hug Ai Ko from the seat, put the staff in her hand aside, nothing can block the body, and complete the unfinished kiss. But this is just a delusion in a flash. It is impossible for Amon to do this, and he didn't even dare to show it in the slightest. Instead, his expression became more solemn and serious.
…
Gabriel stood outside the door for a long time, his tall and straight figure didn't move a muscle, and there was no look of impatience on his face. Finally, he heard the call from the saintess with the information magic: "Gabriel, come in Come on, call your followers to come in too."
When the servants of the saintesses all returned to the chamber, Maria directly issued an order—
Under the blessing of Goddess Isis, Amon mined the Tears of the Gods. Although he was once a citizen of the Kingdom of Hatti, he has been recognized by the gods. This time I came to Eju to return the staff and relics of Nero, the lord of the cape city-state. His noble and selfless conduct is worthy of praise. His hometown has been destroyed by the flood, and Ecu is his new hometown, and he has been specially promoted as a glorious warrior of the Temple of Isis to protect the dignity of the goddess.
Gabriel said from the side: "Amon, congratulations to you! Hurry up and thank the gods, and thank you, Holy Lady!"
Only then did Amon realize that he could no longer call Maria Iko. When Gabriel walked in, he opened a door and closed another door. I am afraid that it would be difficult to have another chance with the saint. Adults are alone. He hurriedly got up from his seat and saluted Maria, and Gabriel said again: "Amon, you are a fifth-level warrior. If you are good at fighting, you can directly submit to my jurisdiction."
Amon replied: "Actually, I prefer to be able to work in peace and tranquility."
The Holy Maiden sat there holding the staff and said: "Amon, you follow me back to Mengfeisi first, and you will get what you wish. This is a due thanks for your noble character."
…
Master Julian, who stayed behind in the cape city-state, has recently lost weight, and he can't eat well or sleep well. This makes Fayol Judah, who is in charge of arranging his daily life, very worried, lest he will be angered by poor care. The city lord Rod Dick has come to condolences many times. Maybe Lord Julian is not used to the climate and environment here, but a great eighth-level magician is not so fragile!
Alas, who can understand the pain in Julian's heart? He sent Vitruu and Haven to chase after Amon. He thought it would be easy to complete the task, but unexpectedly there was no news for many days. Did he miss it? How is this possible! Even if he didn't succeed, he wouldn't come back to return to his life. Even his nephew, Shute, disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared from this world.
A situation worse than the worst expectation finally appeared. More than a month later, a special envoy from the Temple of Isis who came to condolences arrived in Cape City, and privately gave him a secret letter, but did not say anything. When he opened it, he found that the letter had no title or signature, but the content was exactly the same as the letter he had given to Vitrumi for High Priest Burke.
What's even more frightening is that the special envoy was sent by the Holy Maiden!
Could it be that Vitruh and others were captured by mistake? Could it be that Amon was sent by the saint to the cape city-state? Just before Julian arrived at the cape city-state, he specially arranged such a trap. It was a trap, but he stepped into it! When Julian saw such a letter, cold sweat flowed down at that moment.
However, heart-pounding incidents followed one after another. Within a few days, he received a message from High Priest Burke. The content was very simple, and there was only one sentence: "Don't contact me in private again."
It seems that both Vitrux and the secret letter must have fallen into the hands of the saint. Amon was just a bait, and Gabriel must have led someone to capture Vitrulu halfway. As long as this secret letter is forwarded to Burke in private, it means that the saint already knows that the high priest must also be eager to get rid of the relationship, and will not say anything good for Julian. Some things are destined not to be exposed to the sun.
Julian's worries soon became a reality. Within a few days, the official messenger from the Temple of Isis sent the latest order of the saint, which had been approved by Pharaoh Eju before it was issued—officially appointing Julian as the deputy head of the Temple of the Cape. Priest, chief high priest.
This order is different from Rod Dick's original expectation. The appointment of the Holy Lady to Julian is not the chief priest but the deputy chief priest! Rod Dick is still serving as the chief priest, which is tantamount to demoting Julian to an outsider, which is obviously a very severe punishment. However, the wording of this order is very interesting, and it is unknown which scribe wrote it.
He praised Julian in a sensual and expressive manner, praised him for his dedication to the position of high priest for many years, and he was extremely humble. He had repeatedly asked for external transfers and vowed to guard the border city-states for the empire, even if he was just an ordinary priest. After coming to the cape city-state, Julian swore to the gods and voluntarily stayed here to assist the city lord Dick in preventing possible border threats to the empire in the future.
The Holy Maiden and the Council of Priests of the Isis Temple were moved by their spirit and finally gave their permission, so they issued this order. The last paragraph of the order is interesting, ordering Julian to stay in the cape city-state forever, to live and die with the glory of the empire, the gods are watching, and the glory of Horus is with his life.
This is a slap in the face while saying good things! However, Julian was knocked out, but he could only swallow it by himself.
To order such an order, the Holy Maiden must obtain the support of the other two high priests. In this case, report it to Pharaoh, and Pharaoh has no reason not to approve it. The high priest is just a position, and some people want to take it. In addition to Julian, there are several honorary high priests in the Temple of Isis who are also great magicians, so there is no shortage of people.
Rod Dick was overjoyed to receive this order. Things were more perfect than he expected. Julian guarded the Cape City and was under his control. Although the status of a great magician is no lower than that of a city lord, his position is only the deputy chief priest after all. He secretly guessed that the Holy Maiden must have caught something against Julian. No wonder the great magician has lost weight recently.
The order of the Holy Maiden was read out publicly, and the location was at the Promontory City-State Temple. Rod Dick and Julian greeted the oracle side by side. After the envoy read out the official order, he delivered another message, which was addressed to the Lord Dick. Amon, who had returned Nero's staff and relics not long ago, has now become a glorious warrior of the Temple of Isis after being personally praised by the Holy Lady, which is also the glory of the cape city-state.
Coincidentally, the saint and Lord Gabriel both knew this warrior before. He used to be a miner in the town of Duk in the Kingdom of Hatti who surrendered to Eju. Goddess Isis. The Holy Maiden asked the messenger to ask the Lord Dick—do you still remember this incident
Remember, of course remember! How can Rod Dick say he doesn't remember? The lord of the city prepared a generous gift for the messenger, and asked the messenger to bring a generous gift back to Memphis and forward it to the Amon warrior.
Lady Saint's message was clearly intended for Rod Dick, but it made Julian on the side break out in a cold sweat. Amon is not dead yet, but was personally appointed by the Holy Lady as a glorious warrior of the Temple of Isis, then Vitru, Hewen and others must not be able to come back, I hope they are dead, otherwise it will be a serious problem, but unfortunately no any news.
…
The size of the Temple of Isis occupies almost half of the city of Memphis. It is the center of theocracy in the entire Lower Eju, and it is also a symbol of the rule bestowed by the gods. The sacred Nile River is the mother river of the Eju. Every year there is a dry season and a rainy season. The regular floods not only enable the Eju people to master the calendar very early, but also bring a large area of irrigable fertile soil to both sides of the river.
The Ecu Empire had two main territories, the Lower Ecu in the delta of the Rhone River and the Upper Ecu in the upper reaches. The capital of the Upper Eju was Thes, and the capital of the Lower Eju was Memphis, with a desolate desert in the middle, and some smaller city-states distributed along the narrow strip on both sides of the Roni River. A long time ago, the Upper and Lower Ejus were two kingdoms.
According to legend, Horus, the first pharaoh of the Eju Empire, unified the upper and lower Eju, and became the patron saint of the royal power of this great empire. There is a northerly wind blowing from the sea all year round on the Roni River. As long as the sails are raised, the boats can go up to the Upper Eju with the wind, and with the sails furled, they can go down the river to the Lower Eju. The shipping is very convenient.
The king god of the Eju is Horus, and the main temples of all the city-states are the Temple of Horus, but the most important temple in the lower Eju is the Temple of Isis. In the middle of the main hall of the Temple of Isis, there is a statue of the goddess Isis embracing the young Horus. Isis held Horus in her arms with one hand, and lightly supported his back with the other hand, as if she was breastfeeding or comforting Horus to sleep.
This is the most famous statue of the lower Eju. Isis's eyes are full of love and a touch of compassion, as if she is looking at Horus in her arms, and all the subjects of Eju.
Amon came to the Temple of Isis. He once said that he wanted to do a peaceful and peaceful job. The Holy Lady did not include him in the warrior guard under Gabriel's jurisdiction. His job was really quiet—guarding the archives.
The archives house the records of past dynasties and magical classics. No one will run there to make troubles when they are full. There are no guards outside the gate. The main duty of the warriors on duty is to maintain order in the archives. In fact, it is nothing Easy to maintain, very leisurely.
This place is very important, because the collection of classics is very precious, so there are warriors on duty to inspect it every day. In addition to supervising the cleaning of the slaves, they also need to prevent fire and theft. Ordinary priests who want to consult precious materials cannot directly enter the archives warehouse. They need to obtain approval first, and then the guarding warriors will take out the relevant classics and hand them over to the viewers.
Some materials can be registered and taken away, and some can only be read on the spot, depending on the authority of each person. Amon found a very interesting thing. None of the warriors on duty in the archives knew the divine script, and they couldn't understand the scriptures guarded by the divine script. But they were not entirely illiterate, and all knew the labels on the various shelves and cabinets. These labels are all written in secular characters. When someone comes to look up the classics, they only need to report the label number, and the warrior on duty will know where to go and which volume to pick up.
The most important temple in Lower Egypt is of course very strict. In order to prevent these precious books from being stolen, the warriors on duty not only cross-check when changing shifts, but also are transferred to different archives every day. They are not always on duty. a place. The archives are very large. If measured by the building complex, its scale is almost like a small town. There are many different libraries and reading rooms, and the levels are also different.
