A few nights before leaving Mount Horeb, Amon told Moses about his future cultivation and the various tests he would face. These messages from Bell were also confirmed by Amon himself. After all, Bell is different from Amon. He first became a ninth-level magician, and then rediscovered the power of cultivating two aspects of one body. As a great magician, he even had the achievement of a sixth-level warrior.
And Amon started directly from this path under the deliberate training of the old lunatic, without detours. In the name of teaching him the skills of a miner, the old lunatic laid the foundation for awakening the two sides of one body, and Bell's exploration has perfected this path. Now when Amon taught Moses again, the cultivation methods of Level 1 to Level 6 achievements have been clearly confirmed.
Amon did not teach Moses various specific martial arts or divine techniques, but only let him practice pure power, accompanied by spiritual growth. On the one hand, it was because the time was too tight, and on the other hand, in Moses' current situation, it was really inconvenient to practice specific skills, all of which were secrets.
Before leaving, Amon finally ordered: "If you want to finally get out of the predicament, you must first make yourself stronger. Traveling thousands of miles to return to your hometown is full of hardships and trials. From now on, you must be prepared. I will teach you everything , from the miner's skills in Duke Town, you can also choose trustworthy people from among the tribe to continue to teach them, and make the same oath."
The seeds have been sown, and it depends on how it breaks through the ground and sprouts. Amon finally left Mount Horie, escorted the sacred stone back to the Temple of Isis with his guards, and successfully completed the inspection mission. The biggest gain from this trip was knowing the whereabouts of the survivors in Duke Town. Maria did not tell him directly, but used this method.
After returning to the Temple of Isis, Maria summoned him again, still in the study, the servants retreated, and there were only the two of them. Without talking too much about the inspection, Amon knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for your guidance, I found the surviving descendants of Duke Town! The former mayor was kind to me, and his son Moses belonged to that group of people." Leader, I am looking forward to returning to my hometown day and night."
Maria looked at him with an apologetic expression, and waved her hand: "You should sit down and talk, I know what you want to ask. I'm really sorry, I can't order those people to be released directly, they are already Pharaoh's slave, unless there is a reason to ask Pharaoh's permission."
After sitting down, Amon asked again: "You let me read those military books, is it related to this?"
Maria nodded: "If it's just for you, if you can become a great warrior and serve the Eju Empire, you will be able to obtain noble status and have a good life. In fact, no matter where you want to go It’s all the same. You have your own ideals, and it’s so difficult to realize them. There may be conflicts in the Tianshu Continent in the near future. If you want to ask Pharaoh’s permission to release your people, unless you can establish a The indelible feats made Pharaoh have to promise you."
Amon nodded sincerely: "Thank you, I understand!"
Maria euphemistically pointed out a way for Amon to save his people. She reminded Amon that a dispute was about to break out on the Tianshu Road. The so-called indelible feat, as a warrior, was of course a military exploit. If Amon can lead the army to make great contributions to the empire on the battlefield, he can ask the Pharaoh to release the people in Duke Town when asking for rewards, which cannot be refused.
It is too difficult to achieve this. Although Maria is willing to help, everything depends on Amon himself. Becoming a great warrior is just the beginning.
Then there was silence between the two, and they just looked at each other like this. This time the summoning was originally a task for a long journey, and Maria had a lot to say but felt that there was no need to say any more. Amon had a lot of gratitude in his heart, and felt that there was no need to say it. Since Maria didn't speak, he would rather just look at her and feel her breath.
It's a pity that he couldn't sit here forever and stare at her. In the end, Maria broke the silence: "Amon, no matter how difficult what you have to do, I have one wish. I hope you cherish yourself. If everything is over Do your best and don't make things difficult for yourself anymore, as long as you are still the pure Amon, you can come back anytime, and Goddess Isis will protect you."
She put something on the table, and said: "I planned to send a magician to this mission. This pupil of the earth is not only the reward of the mission, but also a tool for recording various information. Later, I changed my mind. In deserts and swamps where monsters are rampant, it is safer to be a samurai who is familiar with the situation, so I decided to send you there.
This Pupil of the Earth is still the reward of the mission. You are not a magician, but you can use other methods to record information. This time it's a secret mission, you can't use your public identity. Someone will give you a blank voucher and customs clearance paperwork, as long as you write your name on it, you can also hire bodyguards to accompany you. There are still a few days to go, go back and prepare well, be careful, I will wait for news of your return... As for this pupil of the earth, I hope you can cherish it. "
The reward given by the Holy Maiden on behalf of the Temple of Isis is really generous. The pupil of the earth was given for performing this mission, and the last sentence she said was very meaningful. It would make sense to send a magician there, because the pupil of the earth can be a carrier for recording information, but if Amon still wants to reward him like this, I'm afraid it has a different meaning.
Amon already had an Eye of the Earth, and the old lunatic recorded all kinds of information in it. Maria might not have done so. Amon is just a warrior, even if there is any divine information in it, Maria knows that he cannot see it. But it would be wrong to think so, Amon is also a sixth-level magician, especially good at space magic and information magic.
Amon inexplicably felt that some kind of information was recorded in the Pupil of the Earth, but he didn't dare to read it in the Temple of Isis, for fear that his secret would be accidentally revealed when using magic, so he had to save this precious pupil first. The sacred stone is collected. There are still a few days before departure, the work of the archives needs to be handed over, and Amon will use the last few days to browse some classics.
Amon planned to keep those volumes of military books with him, and hand them to Mei Danzuo to read on the way. In the future, if he really wanted to become a general on the battlefield, he would definitely not be able to build meritorious deeds on his own. He must have subordinates who are proficient in marching and combat to assist him. Mei Danzuo is a good candidate. At the same time, he also borrowed a lot of books on the art of war, logistics, marching, and battle formations. Anyway, if he has a space magic weapon, he should take it with him and read it slowly on the road.
When he was on duty at the archives on the last day, Amon found an opportunity to open the volume of "Land of Marduk" again, and carefully read it from beginning to end. The last time I read it quietly when no one was around, the time was too tight to read it too carefully, today he tried his best to memorize every detail between the lines. He saw the two familiar marks again in the last blank space, and he quietly took out the token given by the old lunatic to compare it. It was the mark left by Bell, but it seemed to be printed in a hurry, and it was very blurry and difficult to recognize.
The sound of guards talking and saluting came from outside. Amon hurriedly put away the documents and restored the cabinet to its original state. Just as he turned around and was about to go out, he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Captain, your things have been lost!"
Amon was shocked. Even though he was usually calm and calm, he almost knocked over the cabinet beside him at this moment. This is the clerk's room where precious files are stored, and no one is allowed to enter without notification, and with his vigilance, he didn't find anyone in the room at all! Terrified, he turned around in the Central Plains, drew out his dagger in his hand, and took a defensive and offensive posture in the narrow aisle between the two rows of bookshelves.
But in the next moment, Amon immediately put down his weapon and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Dear High Priest, why did you come in suddenly without even saying hello, please forgive me for not being polite!"
The person in front of him was wearing a robe with a smile on his face, and he looked at Amon with some deep meaning in his eyes. He didn't hold a staff in his hand, but he held a sign and said, "Captain Amon, you are very alert and quick to respond. You can see that Dedicated to my duty, I am very satisfied! Is this sign yours? I accidentally dropped it on the ground, take it back."
The speaker was very familiar with Amon. He was George, the high priest who used to be in charge of the archives. He had just been promoted to high priest by the Holy Lady not long ago, filling the vacant position after Julian's transfer. George is easy-going and usually doesn't care much about things. In the past, being in charge of the archives was a light but not lucrative job.
He came from a folk background and had no outstanding background. Later, he became a great magician and won the honorary high priest status of the Temple of Isis, but he only served as a senior priest. As an honorary high priest, George did not like to fight for power, and lived a hermit life almost isolated from the world in the Temple of Isis. Just before Amon arrived at the temple, he quietly upgraded to an eighth-level magician.
In addition to the original three high priests in the Temple of Isis, there are five honorary high priests who are all great magicians. Although they do not hold real power, they have a detached status. George is only the least eye-catching one among them. Unexpectedly, when the new official high priest was elected, the Holy Lady promoted George by name and reported to the pharaoh for permission. This happened after Amon arrived at the temple.
After George became the high priest, the priest in charge of the archives was naturally replaced by someone else, but he was still under the direct jurisdiction of George. He was responsible for managing all the archives of the Temple of Isis, the list of farms and servants, and the collection and registration of taxes for each season. The authority is much larger than before, but his behavior has not changed much, and he still smiles all day long.
George is now looking at Amon with a smile. Amon touched his arms subconsciously, and of course the token given to him by the old lunatic was gone, and his cold sweat immediately flowed down.
It is impossible for Amon to be so careless in doing things. The sign was definitely placed in his arms just now, but somehow it got into the hands of this great magician. George must have used the stealth magic, entered the document room without Amon noticing, saw Amon take out the sign, and maybe saw him flipping through the divine texts, but he used some tricks Take the sign out of Amon's arms.
But the high priest pretended to be confused and said that the sign had fallen on the ground. Amon was very nervous. He had been careful for so long and finally made a mistake. Facing a great magician who he could not compete against, All secrets are in danger of being revealed. He quickly thought about how to explain it in his mind, but when he heard what George said, he thought for a while and then replied: "It's mine, thank you Sir George, I accidentally fell to the ground just now."
George returned the sign to Amon calmly and said, "It's a very special emblem. It seems to be a precious souvenir. It must be put away, and you can't just throw it around like this again... Who gave this thing to you? ? The material and decoration are very special, I don’t think ordinary people can process it.”
The smiling eyes of a great magician seemed to pierce his soul, and Amon could only reply as calmly as possible: "When I was in my hometown, an elder left me a memorial, and he is no longer here."
George put away his smile: "Oh, is he no longer alive? What a pity!"
Amon said honestly: "Haven't you heard of it? My hometown was destroyed by a big flood, and that elder died in that disaster."
George sighed and said, "I'm sorry to bring up your sad past. I almost forgot that your hometown is Duke Town. It was you who mined the tears of the gods and you returned Nero's relics, young man, you His behavior is indeed admirable... I heard that there are many scrolls in Nero's relics, I would like to inquire, is there one named Destruction Storm?"
Amon thought for a while and replied: "Master Nero's will is very generous. I got six high-level scrolls and six intermediate scrolls, but it didn't destroy the storm. I haven't even heard of this name."
George said again, "I'm just asking. It's a legendary scroll. Many people have never heard of it. It is said that only Nero on the mainland has the ability and interest to make it. Huge, and I don't know if he ever tried it, or if it worked? ... Now that you're here, you can do me a favor."
Amon hurriedly said: "Honorable High Priest, if you have anything to say, just ask."
George said with a self-deprecating tone: "I am old and my memory is often bad. I came to look up a volume of classics, but I found the wrong clerk. I will tell you the number, and you can send it to me directly. I will Remember that volume of ancient books is locked in a cabinet, you can ask the priest in charge for the key, and tell me that I want to see it.”
After the great magician finished speaking, he reported a file number, turned and walked out, leaving only Amon standing there with a sign. The fine sweat on Amon's body gradually dried up, and he couldn't help feeling a little chilly. He shook his head vigorously, and then ran out in small steps to fetch the tome for High Priest George.
Bringing the special key blessed by divine magic, he opened the filing cabinet protected by the divine magic circle, and Amon was surprised when he took out the classics. The volume is very thin, the content is about the production and introduction of the scroll, and the cover says "Destruction Storm". This is the scroll that George asked just now. Amon couldn't help but opened it again and held his breath. He finally understood how precious the gray nameless scroll he had been collecting all along was!
The theoretical production method of this scroll is introduced in the classics, which is unimaginable and almost impossible to accomplish, but Nero did it. The "Destruction Storm" is different from any other scrolls. To activate it, it must be at the cost of the user's life, and its power cannot be controlled at all. Once it is unfolded, it will not only burn the life of the user, but also destroy all life within the range of its power. It is said that even the gods will be severely injured.
If Amon risked his own life, he could die with almost anyone with the Destroyer Storm in his hand! He also finally understood why the gatekeeper of Hades retreated in panic when he saw him take out the gray scroll. Nero brought the Storm of Destruction with him back then, and he might have wanted to die with Bell, but in the end there was no need to use this scroll, because Bell himself also chose to die together.
After flipping through the thin volume, Amon packed it in an exquisite wooden box, held it in both hands, and personally delivered it to a side hall where George usually handles official duties. George saw Amon and nodded with a smile: "It's so fast, you delivered the classics as soon as I sat down, it's hard work, let's put it on the table."
Amon put the wooden box on the table, stepped aside respectfully and stood with his hands down, but did not leave immediately. George didn't open the wooden box to read the volume of classics, but lowered his head and continued to deal with official duties. After a while, he raised his head pretending to be surprised: "Amon, you haven't left yet. Is there something wrong?"
Amon nodded and said, "Yes, sir, you haven't checked the classics yet, and I'm waiting for your instructions."
George ordered all the servants in the room to retreat, and then said to Amon: "Of course I believe in Captain Amon, there is no need to examine this classic. Now that there is no one else, just say what you have."
Amon took out two high-level scrolls from his arms, put them gently on the table, and said, "This is a gift from Lord Nero. It is a small thought of mine to express my admiration for you, the great magician. Please accept it."
Unexpectedly, Amon came to give a gift. George was stunned for a while, twisting his beard and laughing: "Amon, do you know how valuable this gift is?"
Amon replied: "No matter how precious something is, it must have its corresponding use. The value of this thing cannot be measured only by money. In front of you, the great magician, they are nothing more than artifacts for performing magic."
George looked at Amon with great interest and said, "I have experienced enough things and understand people's hearts. If I don't accept it, you may not feel at ease. Well, thank you!" He accepted it frankly These two advanced scrolls.
Amon breathed a sigh of relief. Gift giving has been an art since ancient times. Amon has also received gifts from others, which represents a hint and request. If he refuses, it also means that he has rejected the other party's gift. ask. George was very straightforward. He simply broke Amon's mind. He not only accepted the scroll in person, but also told Amon to be at ease.
