Lescott-Lee was originally worried about any trouble or danger that Amon's status as a magician would bring, but now it seems that this possibility is very small. Amon once acted side by side with Prince Fonniu, rescued Princess Xiaoqian from the giant tribe, and got involved with the two most noble figures in the kingdom. Who would offend such a person for no reason? As long as Amon doesn't say anything, no one will ask whether he is a magician.
This boy is really amazing, he has caught up with all major events!
Mei Danzuo learned about Amon's recent situation from Xiou, but he didn't expect that Amon's experience after breaking up with him would be so exciting. In Mei Danzuo's mind, Amon's status is that of a god, even if he did something more miraculous, it would not be inconceivable. Now that he knew where Amon was, he made a request to Xiou, as a bodyguard, to go back to Mengfeisi with his caravan to find Amon, and Xiou of course agreed.
Mei Danzuo is a noble warrior in the royal capital of Baron, and he is willing to condescend to be Xio's bodyguard in order to see Amon, which makes Xio feel a little flattered. After coming to Mengfeisi, Medanzuo originally wanted to find an inn to stay, but how could the enthusiastic Xiou let him go, he must stay at home and entertain him well.
The two had arrived at Xiou's mansion while they were talking, and Xiou hurried to the front hall after hearing the news, and saluted as soon as they met: "Lord Amon, you haven't been here for a long time, Xiou has been looking forward to your visit! "
Amon hurriedly stopped him and said, "There's no need to be too polite, I haven't changed much in front of you, and don't call me an adult, I'm not a nobleman."
Xiou said: "You are already the captain of the guard, the captain of the guard in the Temple of Isis, and your status is much higher than that of ordinary nobles!... You haven't come to my house for three months. Be sure to have a good drink."
Amon couldn't refuse, so he held a banquet at Xiou's house that day. During the banquet, Xiou was drunk and vented his dissatisfaction with Amon's identity. He held his glass and said, "With your achievements, you should have become a My lord, it seems that you are the only one who became the captain of the temple guard as a commoner. I heard that the Holy Maiden takes special care of you, why didn't you make such a request?"
Amon explained with a wry smile: "I have already received enough rewards for what I have done. As a civilian warrior, but was promoted to the captain of the archives, how can I make more excessive demands? And this kind of request violates the the decrees of the empire."
Xiou mumbled drunkenly: "The laws of the empire are really strict. No matter how much money you have, it is difficult to become a nobleman."
The noble status of the Ecu Empire can only be obtained in two ways, one is hereditary, and the other is a special gift. The second method is very difficult. It is necessary to make great contributions to the empire. It is specially recommended by the nobles above the city-state and city lord and approved by the pharaoh. This kind of feat is mainly a feat of war or a feat praised by the people. Amon just threw a spear at the grand ceremony. He is loyal to his job and will not reach that height.
If anyone can become a great samurai, it is not difficult to obtain the status of a nobleman, but the hope of a commoner learning gymnastics and achieving the achievements of a great samurai is too slim. Xiou also expressed his dissatisfaction to himself. He is a very rich businessman, but just being rich cannot change his status as a commoner. He once said that if he could obtain the status of a nobleman, he would even give away half of his family property, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity.
Amon and Mei Danzuo listened to Xio complaining all night at the banquet, and they didn't have a chance to talk alone until night. Mei Danzuo is already a fifth-level warrior and magician. He said with emotion to Amon: "It may be difficult to face the firmness of faith and the temptation of the devil. After I recover from the pain, life seems to have experienced The change made my beliefs clearer, and I quickly passed these tests. Amon, I don't know how to describe my gratitude, you are the god who guides me!"
Amon also said with emotion: "Faith comes from your heart. I didn't force you to do something, and I don't want to do something like that. With your character, it's really not easy not to promise Princess Xiaoqian. No wonder I will pass the test of the devil's temptation. Of course, I am not saying that Princess Xiaoqian is a devil, nor is it that the noble title fief is a devil. You should understand... already have level five achievements, whether your cultivation during this period of time is Interrupted?"
Mei Danzuo grinned and said: "God Amon, you understand my ambition and pursuit. It used to be to restore my noble status and the glory of my ancestors, but after I became a nobleman again, I realized that what I really hope is another A kind of detachment, and walked on the path you guided. The practice of one body with two sides was interrupted except for the few days when I walked with you, and I have been unremitting since then, and it has become my life."
Amon nodded thoughtfully and said: "The cultivation of strength in one body with two sides, what it obtains is a kind of strength, but at the same time, it is also a kind of self-awareness that is taken for granted. It may be the real pursuit after forgetting it but possessing it naturally. Now that you've taken this path, Denzel, I hope you remember that."
…
Medan Zuo lived temporarily in Memphis City, and Amon gave him a task to buy a house in the city as a foothold, and gave him a document to prove his identity. The name written on it was A Luo blame. It is of course convenient for subordinates to do things, but there are some things that cannot be entrusted to the subordinate guards. Mei Danzuo came at the right time.
Amon was rich enough, so of course he could buy the most suitable place. On the west side near the edge of the city-state, Medanzuo bought a large house, which was the manor of a down-and-out nobleman. It not only has a front yard and a backyard, but also a small independent garden. The spacious front hall even has a fountain. The owner of the manor was also a magician.
Now it has become Amon's house, everything is taken care of by Medanzo, and a group of servants are also hired, such as the porter and groom. She rarely shows up, and is said to be very busy.
Amon also brought Schrödinger into the house. Medanzuo knew the cat and ordered everyone to respect Schrödinger. This is the cat offered by the Grand Master. But Schrödinger didn't like living here, and spent most of his time hanging out with those idle cats outside the Temple of Isis. He couldn't find it, so he could only wait for it to come out on its own initiative.
In order to make Schrödinger like it, Amon ordered people to replace the statue enshrined in the temple in the backyard with the cat god Best, and put the best wine and fresh and delicious grilled fish every day. Whether Schrödinger came or not, in fact is for it. In this way, Schrödinger would come here every day and slip away after eating and drinking, as if he was very satisfied with this arrangement.
Maria persuaded Amon to stay in the Temple of Isis and openly become a glorious warrior, the main purpose was to protect him, but in fact, the Temple of Isis did not lack a warrior. Maria also promised at the beginning that she would not stop him from returning to his hometown. If Amon had something to do, he would be sent to Duke Town to perform tasks.
There are still several months left in the originally agreed one year, and Mei Danzuo himself has also come to Memphis, so Amon is not in a hurry. Whether it is divine art or physical art, the content of the practice becomes more profound and complicated as you go up. Amon suffered the first failure since he practiced. He wanted to process the snake tendon he obtained on the Baron River into a magical artifact, but he couldn't control it well. He watched helplessly as the precious snake tendon was broken into pieces in his hands and turned into useless waste.
But he also had another unexpected harvest, which was also taught by Schrödinger.
There was nothing surprising about Amon buying a private house in the city. With the status and salary of the captain of the guard, it would be abnormal not to buy another residence in the city. Amon would only leave the temple when he was not on duty. Once he came to the back of the house, walked into the small temple dedicated to the goddess Best, and found Schrödinger drinking and eating meat on the divine table.
Amon smiled, and just stood there quietly watching, not disturbing the cat's good interest. Schrödinger didn't look back but knew that Amon was coming. After eating and drinking enough, he jumped off the magic case, stretched out his paws and made a beckoning motion like a human, and then ran into the yard.
When Amon chased him out, Schrödinger had disappeared, but he left two lines of writing on the ground, which were not divine characters! It was the first time for this cat to write secular characters, and Amon was a little surprised. What was written on the ground would be incomprehensible to anyone else, but Amon recognized it at a glance. It was the number of the archives of the Temple of Isis.
It seemed that the cat was in a good mood. After drinking, he instructed Amon to find two documents in the archives. What exactly was Schrödinger trying to tell him to watch? Amon was also curious.
Although he is the captain of the archives, he can't browse the collection of books at will. He can only arrange for himself to be on duty in the corresponding reading room alone, and take out the files for a closer look when there is no one else. The first document was found very quickly, in a very high-standard document storage room, placed on the bottom shelf protected by a detection magic array. Fortunately, Amon's divine detection technique has been cultivated to a high level, and he can take out the document without sounding an alarm.
The result surprised and delighted him. The title of this document was "The Land of Marduk", and the content recorded on it was the legend about the town of Marduk mentioned by Maria. Amon spent more than half a year searching but failed to find it. If it wasn't for Schrödinger's guidance, he didn't know when he would find it. It seems that the cat also understood what he was thinking.
Amenwan did not expect that the name of the town of Duk was related to Marduk, the main god of the Kingdom of Baron. I think it was the place where Marduk became famous in the first battle. .
In the myths and legends of Anunnaki, the male god Apsu and the goddess Amat were the first to become gods. They gave birth to the male god Rahm and the goddess Rahm, and Rahm and the female Rahm gave birth to God Anu. The Anuna enlightenment system is named after the god Anu. It is said that he is the highest supreme god. What is going on here? It involves a very long battle.
The god Anu had two sons, Enlil and Ea, and Ea was the legendary god of wisdom, and he had a son named Marduk. Enlil gave birth to the moon god Nannar and the sun god Utu, and the moon god Nannar gave birth to Mu Yun, who is known as the goddess of Venus. Myths and legends are like this. These gods may not symbolize the sun, moon and stars, but their titles in the world.
Goddess Mu Yun once said to Amon herself that the relationship between gods and spirits is not the kind of blood relationship that ordinary people understand, and she didn't explain much about what happened. But in the classics and legends that Amon saw, they were still recorded according to their kinship.
It is said that there was a conflict among the gods when dividing the domain of the gods, and Ea attacked and killed Apsu. In order to retaliate, Amat created nine kinds of monsters, namely Hydra, Swamp Serpent, Manticore, Sea Monster, Giant Lion, Three-Headed Dog, Human-faced Scorpion, Charming Mermaid, Wilderness Bull, He also gave the sacred object "Book of Destiny" that represented the status of the Supreme God when the pantheon was founded to his other son Jin Gut, and asked him to take revenge.
The gods split into two factions, one faction headed by Amat, the commander of the battle was Jingut, and the other faction headed by Enlil, the commander of the battle was Marduk. A battle of the gods broke out in the center of Tianshu Continent. At that time, I don't know how many gods fell. As a result, Marduk won the victory, killed Amat and Jingut, and won the Tablet of Destiny, so that battlefield was also called "the land of Marduk".
There was friction on the winner's side. As the leader of the gods, Enlil should have received the Tablet of Destiny, but Marduk handed the Tablet of Destiny directly to Anu, the god of heaven, so that Enlil did not become the master of Anuna. The Supreme God of Enlightenment. However, Anu and Ea had no intention of continuing to participate in the competition among the gods, and since then they have retreated into the legendary kingdom of Anuna.
A conflict broke out between the two great gods, Enlil and Marduk. As a result, the domain of the gods was divided, and the rest of the gods were attached to the domain of the two great gods, and enjoyed their own rights according to the meritorious service in the battle of the gods. Holy area.
Legend has it that the blood of the fallen gods condensed into flame spirits, their muscles into the pupils of the earth, their breath into the charm dance of the wind, their sweat into blue water cores, and the crystallization of their bones into ordinary god stones. And the tears of the gods are the condensation of tears shed by the gods. Duke Town is not the only place on the mainland that produces divine stones, but the output is very high, which is naturally related to this ancient war.
When the two great gods divided the domain of the gods, the land of Marduk was drawn on the edge of Enlil's domain of the gods. Enlil did not want the name of Marduk to be in his domain of the gods. Later, the place where people lived was shortened to the town of Duk . There is no record of this legend in the local temple, but it is recorded in the documents in the temple of Isis in Eju.
The land of Marduk was once very fertile, but it became devastated and desolate because of the battle of the gods. It is the place where the gods fell, the place where they were rejected by the gods, and even the place where they were exiled. The miners living there have mined the sacred stones for the people who worship the gods for generations, and they are not allowed to leave their hometown. This is a punishment. It is said that their ancestors supported Amat and Jingut in the battle of the gods.
The legend is just a legend, no one can tell whether it is true or not. Amon grew up in Duke Town, and knew that the patron saint there was Mu Yun. How Goddess Mu Yun became the patron saint of Duke Town is not mentioned in this document, but it mentions two other things that attract attention.
One is that the miners in Duke Town are cursed by the gods and have been engaged in heavy labor for generations. The miner's skills in Duke Town were also taught by the gods, including the awakening ceremony of power, and even the most basic magical skills, similar to the two awakenings of power, but there was no real breakthrough. The purpose of the gods to pass down the skills of the miners is to make them labor for generations until they are redeemed and forgiven.
No wonder Maria once said that Amon was born as a miner in Duke Town, and it is not difficult to pass the second awakening ceremony of power. She is the patron saint of the goddess Isis, and she doesn't care much about the legends of the Anuna enlightenment system. The veracity of the legend is unknown, but the miners' skills in Duke Town are true. The last step of mining the sacred stone is done by magicians, and only in Duke Town is it done by miners.
The second is the prophecy that has been handed down from unknown ages. When the land of Marduk returns to prosperity, new gods of the gods will appear. There is also a saying that a new battle of the gods will break out at that time. These legends cannot be verified, but Enlil's oracle is clearly recorded in the main temples of Hatti and Assyria, and he will make there a fertile soil again, and he will become the true god of the gods.
After reading the myths and legends recorded in this document, Amon took a breath. These should be legends from a long time ago. No one knows whether they are true or not, but Duke Town is indeed a very special place. He can't intervene in matters between the gods, but the area around Duke Town is about to become a piece of fertile soil. If he wants to guide his people back to their homeland, the road will probably be full of thorns and blood sweat.
Then he thought of another thing. Finding the way to become a god was the task entrusted to him by the old lunatic. Could it be related to this ancient legend and prophecy? Bell had been here before, and there was a connection between him and the old lunatic, and the old lunatic should also know the records in this classic.
Amon turned to the last page of the document, and it really confirmed his guess. Someone left two marks in the blank space, very vague, but the lines look like the front and back of the token that the old lunatic gave him.
That sign was also Bell's keepsake, why did he leave his mark here? Could it be that waiting for someone later to read this volume of documents is implying something? Subconsciously, Amon wanted to take out the brand for comparison, but then realized that he didn't carry it with him.
It is not difficult to find the first volume of documents, but it is not easy to consult the second volume of documents pointed out by Schrödinger. According to the numbered index, the volume of documents is locked in a cabinet together with many important classics. The key is held by the high priest in charge of the archives. The cabinet and the lock are blessed with divine magic. Amon couldn't open it quietly without leaving traces, so he had to wait for the opportunity.
Amon has not waited for the right opportunity, but first waited for the summoning of the saint. It was still Gabriel who delivered the message in person. The place where the saint summoned him was the study room where official documents were handled daily. It was very spacious like a small palace. The saint gave him enough courtesy, and still gave him a seat. The seats were far away, and there was a blanket in front of him. Amon could only salute on the blanket and then sit down and talk.
Maria sat behind the desk. This was a private meeting, and there was no one else in the study. Maria had already asked Gabriel to leave. The distance doesn't affect anything, Amon can still see her clearly, even if the arc of each eyelash is very clear.
According to common sense, Maria should first praise Amon's behavior at the blessing ceremony, but she didn't say that, but looked at him and asked, "Amon, how are you doing?"
