Pivot of the Sky

Xiao Gu was very depressed for a while, and he did not go to the doctor, because only one doctor in Duke town was the priest himself. Xiao Gu is qualified to study theology, and practicing theology as a temple priest is one of everyday affairs, but not every priest is a brilliant theologian, depending on personal qualifications and cultivation.

Xiao Gu only took a few years to wake up power from the entrance. Finally, it was done under a ceremony presided over by the great magician Goryu of the Shya Temple, but so far he has barely met the standards of a secondary magician. He will use few low-order magic, including prayer magic, the most important of which is healing magic.

Therapeutic techniques in the art of prayer and blessing are the most important cultivation content of a priest in a village temple. This is not only a guarantee that he himself receives the respect of the inhabitants, but also a symbol of a miracle.

When the public had vomited blood fainting for almost a month, Lord Xiao Gu had used healing techniques for himself. After relaxing, there was nothing wrong with his body. It was just that he felt depressed and his heart was always blocked. He had a heart condition that had to be removed. Finally, when the time came, after breakfast, he called Ma Qi, the servant of the temple.

Xiao Gu is the only priest and clerk in town, but he can't be the only one in the temple. A lot of work is done by servants and assistants. Lord Xiao Gu is well-respected. The work he normally handles is just registration. Ma Qi is his most powerful assistant, helping with the day-to-day affairs of the temple, managing other servants, and this person already has achievements in tertiary body arts.

Lord Xiao Gu was very friendly today. When he saw Ma Qi, he smiled and greeted him: “Come on, sit down. ”

Ma Qi was somewhat flattered: “My lord, am I being rude to sit with you? ”

Lord Xiao Gu said unhappily: “What is this? You're my best assistant, my most trusted partner. What's wrong with sitting at a table? Sit down or I'll get mad! ”

Ma Qi owed himself to sit at the table, and Xiao Gu pushed a plate of dessert from the table to him, a fresh, sweet and sour fruit picked by the servants in the hills east of the town. Ma Qi took one and ate it carefully. Xiao Gu asked with a smile: "Have you reached level 3? We are only one step away from the achievements of the middle class samurai. ”

Ma Qi quickly replied: "I was just an ordinary miner in town. You told me that there was something similar in the mining technique, and that I could only have this achievement if you read me books on physical training. My lord, don't worry, I didn't tell anyone else as you ordered. ”

Xiao Gu smiled happily: "What's not to worry about? You're the person I trust most. If you can be an intermediate samurai, I can go to the adults in the city to accommodate you, and if you're lucky, find an opportunity to make you a nobleman, or at least a samurai and clerical deputy to the town's temple. ”

Ma Qi quickly stood up and pushed the chair back and walked with courtesy: “Thank you, Lord Xiao Gu, I don't know how to repay you. ”

Xiao Gu waved his hand: “Sit down, sit down and talk.... Ma Qi, have you figured out what I asked you to investigate the other day? ”

Ma Qi returned to his seat and replied earnestly: “As you instructed, I have been watching Amon for the past ten days. In addition to frequenting the old madman's house, he went alone to the Black Fire Forest in the middle of the night, crossing a very hidden path between the rocks. ”

Xiao Gu frowned: “He really has a lot of nerve. A child goes into the dark fire forest in the middle of the night? What's he going to do? ”

Ma Qi shook his head: “I don't know.” After saying this, I thought it would be inappropriate to answer this question. I thought about it and said, "Did he go looking for nuclear minerals again? Last time he picked so many nuclear minerals in the black fire jungle, he wanted to take a chance? ”

In the middle of the night? Xiao Gu was confused and asked in a low tone: "What about the other thing I want you to do? ”

Ma Qi similarly whispered: “When Amon went out in the middle of the night, I went to his house three times, and the drunk had no idea. His family's things are rare and simple. I found dozens of silver coins and two gold coins. If you don't find the stone, don't move anything. Those stones should have been carried by Amon all the time, and I remember they were wrapped in a parchment. ”

Xiao Gu put his body together and said: "Ma Qi, tonight, I want you to do one thing. …… ”

After a passphrase, Ma Qi's face was also a little stiff and he didn't speak at all. Xiao Gu stood up and walked behind him, reaching out and patting his shoulder gently: “Those twenty stones are all yours. And as for the blue stone, serve it in the temple of the Goddess of Mu Yun, and do not let anyone find it. This is a tribute to the Goddess. I won't be there. You didn't give it to me, remember? ”

When Ma Qi hasn't answered, Xiao Gu pressed his hand over his shoulder and said: "If you can become an intermediate warrior, I will make sure you apply for the position of Temple Warrior, and you will receive your salary without tax. As for that money, if it were a gift to Lord Urban State, you might have a chance to be the third nobleman in town. How about life, you make your own choices, but don't forget that right now, I'm treating you as my most trusted assistant. ”

Ma Qi bit his teeth and the transverse flesh on his face twitched several times. Finally, he nodded: "Sir, I understand, everything is as you asked! ”

Xiao Gu walked to the corner and poured two glasses of wine. He sat down again and passed them to Ma Qi. He shook his head seriously: “No, you must remember that this is not my call! If anyone finds out, it's just that you're following Amon, trying to find where he picked the core, and I don't know. ”

……

In the middle of the night, in the deserted black fire jungle, Amon sat by the spring to practice the summoning of water elements. On that day, he did not practice the old madman's divinity. After all, the child's nature loves to play, and Amon makes water elemental magic a game. Water in the environment is controlled and condensed into tiny microcrystals, like a layer of fog, floating around on the surface of the water and changing into various shapes, very interesting!

Sometimes tiny droplets of water, sometimes finely shattered ice crystals, dissipate in the air.

Amon was having fun, suddenly he felt something was wrong, and the muscles behind him were a little tight, like being stared at. He paused, his left hand quietly pulling out the blue water heart and holding a stick around him in his right hand. In the middle of the night through the gloomy black fire jungle, Amon certainly did not have his hands free. He brought a very special stick, which was the most valuable thing in his family except for the Divine Stone.

Ammon's father was an alcoholic, especially after Ammon's mother died, but he was also the best blacksmith in Duke when he was younger. The stick is a souvenir left by the drunk father many years ago. It looks like a less straightforward branch with bare surface marks. Yellow is rust and black is gray. It is almost impossible to recognize this as a finest iron embryo.

Miners in Duke Town were forbidden to manufacture processed iron into armoured weapons, and they were not taught how to build it, producing only iron and fine iron embryos. The finest fine iron ore sand is not mined in the mines, but is cultivated in the manure of an iron armored animal living in iron ore rich mountains, very rarely.

When Amon's father was younger, to test his skills, he quietly collected the finest iron ore and smelted and created such an embryo. Later, he also kept the stick in the furnace room as a firecracker for coal without replacing it with liquor. Every time Amon crosses the Blackfire jungle at night, he takes this stick as a cane at will, while still defending himself.

The shady black fire jungle is not as dangerous as it seems, and if you're not lost, it's actually a quiet place. But sometimes there are rabbits and wild dogs, and when you hear people, you run away a long way. But when you're hungriest, wild dogs can attack people or sheep, so be careful.

Amon grabbed the stick and looked around quietly. The moonlight was quiet and silent and nothing was found. Black stones and bushes surround the area, best suited for hiding, it's hard to see if there's anything to hide. For some reason, Amon was always upset, and suddenly he closed his eyes and held the blue heart in his left hand.

The blue water heart emitted a glow of blue and shadow, but it was not illuminated by Amon's grip. Unconsciously, the faint fog rose from above the spring water and floated in the surrounding jungle. With the help of the blue blue water heart, Amon used the simplest water element to summon the magic to its fullest potential, and he found something wrong!

Within the scope of the divine art, the water mist in the air was quietly summoned by him, and Amon closed his eyes to feel the shape of the rock and bush between the water mist fluctuations, about a few dozen steps behind him, there was a man! The man hid behind a strange rock, revealed half his head and looked at him through the bushes, holding something in his hand, familiar in shape, the most common miner's hammer in Duke Town.

Elemental theology is not usually used to detect because it has a much smaller range of sensing than detecting theology, and so is the speed at which it is applied. If the opponent is an intelligent theologian, it may be noticed instantly. Detection theology is an intermediate-level theology, most typically puppetry, which can detect a wide range of distances.

Amon doesn't know what detective magic is yet, and he hasn't even heard of puppet eye surgery. But in doing so, he inadvertently applied the simplest water elemental theology to detect theology, and it also conformed to the most basic principles of detecting theology. Tracking horses lurking in the dark, not knowing they had been exposed.

Amon did not move, but sat still. As the night grew deeper and the chills seemed to get heavier and heavier around him, Ma Qi finally couldn't bear it. He almost thought that Amon was sitting there asleep, so he walked out of the bush with a light-handed hammer.

First-degree samurai possess explosive power, second-degree samurai usually require agility beyond power, while reaching the third level of physical skill requires coordination of power, speed, and endurance. Lv3 samurai in the Rod Dick Guard, a single shot can penetrate several cows, and although Ma Qi is not trained to do so, carrying a heavy hammer also acts like a light raccoon, making little noise.

At the edge of the spring is a small open area, Ma Qi stepped out of the bush and reached a position that Amon could see back, just over twenty steps away. He suddenly rushed in, waving the hammer in his right hand. For a level 3 samurai, the sprint blinked, leaving Amon in no time to react, and Amon seemed unresponsive.

However, Ma Qi had an accident just after two steps, his foot suddenly slipped and he wanted to stabilize himself, but his other foot landed slippery again. Due to the inertia of the forward stroke, he could no longer stand steady. He fell to the ground and the hammer slipped off and into the spring water. When he reacted, he suddenly took a heavy blow to the shoulder and almost fainted without pain.

Ma Qi looked up and saw Amon already standing in front of him, pointing a branch in his hand at his face door and stepping on his shoulder with his other foot. The child's strength was so great that he couldn't even step on his back. The ice on the floor was so cold that he couldn't help but want to chill. He only listened to Amon's surprise and asked: “Ma Qi, how could it be you? What are you doing following me here in the middle of the night? ”

Bad luck today, usually a Level 3 samurai would not have to fear a freshly introduced Level 1 magician in a melee if he had been cautious and prepared. But Ma Qi never dreamed that Amon would be divine, although it was only the simplest first-order water element divinity, the effect of control and application was so perverse!

After Amon discovered Ma Qi, he quietly condensed a layer of slippery ice on his way over and covered up the reflection with mist. If Ma Qi could walk slowly, the situation would be better, he would have to rush to slip. This is the power of magic. It doesn't need to be powerful, but it's another power. Amon also uses the blue heart.

Ma Qi was very upset and reached out one hand to grab Amon's ankle and shouted, “Amon, let me go! Can't I come if you can come here? How could you be so rude? ”

“Of course you can come to the Blackfire jungle, but why are you following me in the middle of the night?” Amon didn't loosen his legs, and the “branches” in his hand gently lit Ma Qi's back. Ma Qiqi's teeth were sore and his bones were hanging unbroken, which led him to discover that the stick in Amon's hand was not a branch, it was harder and heavier than raw iron.

Ma Qian panicked and suddenly realized that in this place, the stick in Amon's hand could kill him if he fell hard, no one would notice. His original idea was to quietly turn things around in the middle of nowhere, Amon, and he quickly explained, “Amon, I'm following you. I just want to see, where exactly did you pick up those kernels? I want to take my chances, too! ”

Ammon closed his eyes and said, "Do you think I'm here looking for nuclear minerals in the middle of the night? ”

Ma Qi: “Isn't that right? Otherwise, what are you doing in the Blackfire Forest every day? ”

Of course, it is impossible for Amon to tell Ma Qi that he is practicing private theology. Suddenly, he realized another thing. He must have sensed that he had fallen from Ma Qi by performing the theology just now. This is a secret that cannot be revealed. The iron stick in his hand was raised, but it did not fall, and he asked coldly: "Every day? Have you followed me many times? Why did you rush in with a hammer? ”
