Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 20 020, Incredible Cat

Amon is a child who has never left the far door. He doesn't even know what to do. The old lunatic actually asked him to bring a cat! Cats don't listen to people like dogs, let alone take them away, and he's a little embarrassed to ask, "Why did you let me take Schrödinger? Can he come with me? ”

The old lunatic surprised Amon again--

“Schrödinger stayed with me for 30 years, except for the information magic that Bell had sealed on him, which I had never heard call for, and whose appearance had not changed at all, I could not even give him a hug. But it didn't go, it stayed in Duke Town, and it just suddenly followed me, probably waiting for today. Amon, this is not an ordinary cat, Schrödinger may be your guide, it comes from an extraordinary origin, I have not told you. ”

Amon was surprised to ask, "What is it and what else have you not told me?” This cat is incredible, not to mention that it has remained unchanged for only 30 years and has not screamed at all, and has far exceeded ordinary people's understanding.

Instead of answering, the old lunatic asked, “Do you know where you're going? ”

Amon looked at the two certificates he had just received and said, "Isn't it the Egyptian Empire? You should have let the mayor give it to me. Take it and I can go across the desert to Egyptian. ”

The old lunatic shook his head: "No, that was just for your future. I asked the mayor to announce the decree in public, and it wasn't exactly an excuse. I really wanted you to find Bell. If you think about it, who in the world is the most likely to find where Bell ended up? ”

Amon pointed at the cat on the ground: "Schrödinger, of course! But after all these years you can't let it take you, how can I do that? Maybe it's long forgotten.... you have something to tell me and not to tell me, this is the time, please say it all at once. ”

The old lunatic also glanced at Schrödinger: “I'll tell you all, Bel not only took the onion of the Virgin and the tears of the gods from the Temple of Isis, but also stole a sacred object and a cat, according to secret information I had heard over the years. The Temple of Isis had given a secret order to retrieve these two things, and only the High Priest of Equus knew.

Secret retrieval of the sacred objects is normal, and Isis Temple doesn't want to lose them to the public, but what is it about finding a cat and why does Bell take a cat? There must be something magical in there that Bell didn't tell me, but I guess the cat must be Schrödinger. But for 30 years I have not solved this mystery, and Schrödinger has never ignored me.

I have tried many times over the years to find Bell's whereabouts through Schrödinger, without success. Looks like this cat likes you better, and I've seen you hug it, which is one of the most amazing things I've seen in 30 years.

The next test you will face when you practice second degree magic is the ‘firmness of faith', and the secrets of the gods are only explored here. Son, this road is tough, and I won't let you call me a teacher because of it, and the path you're going to take is not within my grasp.

Bell obviously knows more and finding out where Bell is is is your first step in unlocking the secret of the gods. He must have left a message. Leave Tucker Town to find Bell and take this Schrödinger with you. Don't be afraid, with your achievements now, to cross deep mountains against ordinary beasts or cave wildlings is not a problem, and I hope you will not regret it in the future. ”

The old lunatic said a long story and reached out and patted Amon's shoulder. Amon bowed his head: "I'm not afraid, I don't regret it. ”

The old madman sounded a long sigh of relief: "Son, I'm sure I'm right about you. Now you can try to take Schrödinger with you, and if you can take it, there's hope of finding Bell. ”

How? The old lunatic stood aside, and Amon walked a few steps forward and said, “Cat, cat, come with me.... Schrödinger! Come with me!... good cat, go. ”

Amon screamed for half a day and Schrödinger ignored him, but he just turned around and squatted back down. His attitude seemed very arrogant, and he extended a foreclaw to Amon, like a nobleman summoning servants to support him. This dirty, lazy, fat cat has a pretty good score.

Amon stunned and walked over to pick up Schrödinger. Schrödinger beat up a debt and tucked himself to sleep! The old madman also smiled bitterly, pointing quietly at the big leather pocket that Amon crossed. You can't even carry a cat across the mountains. Amon gently put Schrödinger in his leather pocket. The empty space is just enough to install it. The opening on it doesn't make the cat boring.

“Amon, I have one last thing for you to remember and do as I said. Don't rush to find Bell's whereabouts first, go east from here, no matter how hard it is, don't look back. In three days, you look around, then climb to the highest peak you can see, and go all the way to the top.

When the third cloud is also at your feet, find a place to practice your magic, most importantly water and gas. They can be embedded in the Staff and used with the other two standard stones with the help of the Blue Water Heart and the Glamour of Wind.

Low-order water elemental theology You have mastered very skilled, there is wind dance, it is not difficult to learn gas elemental theology, but general magicians tend to be only proud of the magic of power, but forget how small the power of their own theology is compared to the power of elements in nature.

So when you practice these two kinds of magic, you don't have to go after how high the order is, but you also have to pay attention to how to fight, exploit, and protect yourself in front of the natural elements. If you can control a drop of water, learn how to keep it from being blown up in the river. Learn this and you'll already be a brilliant magician, and diode surgery will reach its peak.

Whether you do this or not, don't leave the top of the mountain for now and look out for the western clouds. When the clouds are dense, find a place to hide and don't let the sky thunder at height hit you. Waiting for the clouds of reunion to dissipate and the thunder to stop ringing, you will take Schrödinger to find Bell.

These, you have to remember! ”

The last sentence of the old madman seemed to come from the middle of the sky, and Amon looked up stunned, which was when he saw that the old madman had flown away, rubbing his body like a giant strange bird. And when he disappeared, there was a voice coming from somewhere: "Amon, if you can't find Bell, kill that cat and eat, you're on your own. ”

……

Lonely Amon walked alone in the mountains and mountains, all the way east. There was no way under his feet. He tried to pick the best place to walk. He held the heavy fine iron staff in his left hand, and pulled out the knife the mayor had given him to chop thorns. Such terrain cannot go too fast, the mountains are becoming more dangerous, the terrain is becoming more complex, and the gulf cut between the tall peaks is deepening.

If he hadn't reacted physically and intelligently, he wouldn't be able to get out of here very far. Occasionally you can also see the path of Yili in the lush jungle. It should be stepped out by the cave wildlings. Amon doesn't know how much skill he has yet, so he doesn't want to start a conflict and avoids it as carefully as possible.

He soon understood why the old madman had taught him water elemental magic first, that people could not eat for days, but could not drink water for almost a day. By evening, Amon had found a dry stone seam in the mountains to prepare for rest, and it was impossible to go on such a mountain path after dark. He cleaned up the area and lit up a bunch of bonfires to prepare some food, which reminded him that there was no water, and he didn't bring a kettle.

The water seems to be just a short distance away, from this hillside down, deep in the mountains there is a hidden sound of running water, but there is no way past. Ammon cannot fly, naturally cannot float to the deep mountain currents beneath the cliff to fetch water, and the deep air currents are so complex that even birds dare not fly randomly. Fortunately, he can summon water elements and concentrate the water in the environment for his own consumption, both convenient and clean.

He tried to take out a small pot and a special beef pine from the backpack, and when he opened the backpack he heard Schrödinger hiccup and climb out lazy with a smell of alcohol. Amon did not bring water but brought a bottle of wine. Father gave it to him specifically. The merchants arrived in Duke town with basically good wine, and most commonly they needed a bottle of silver coin, whereas Father usually bought it in barrels.

And this bottle is worth fifteen silver coins in a beautiful copper bottle, which is the best wine in the Ammon family. - Actually, anywhere on the continent, it's also a fine wine. Amon finds that the cork of the bottle has been opened sometime, and Schrödinger drinks it without a drop left. It's so luxurious to have this cat!

Schrödinger was lazy and not ashamed at all. Didn't he know that he had just drank all the wine worth fifteen silver coins? Amon couldn't compare to a cat, and the magic gathered a pot of pure water to loosen the special beef of the old madman. The beef melts in the boiling water, with a seductive aroma, like fresh beef soup, and even the flavor is good.

Amon took out a spoon of beef soup and blew it cold and drank it. It smells good! He felt hungry, though not tired, walking the mountain for a day. After a few sips, he suddenly saw Schrödinger sneaking up on him, sitting opposite the fire, lifting his front paw to the left of the bush.

Amon immediately sensed movement there, but Schrödinger obviously discovered the anomaly earlier than he did. Perhaps this is the beast's instinct, but this cat doesn't look like a “wild” beast, but it's so sensitive to the environment that even Amon can't compare to it.

Amon has always been calm, and although he's a little panicked and scared, he just gently waves the "branches” without moving his voice. A fine fog cyclone rose and condensed into the bushes, then heard something rolling over the bushes and fleeing at a rapid pace.

Amon only saw a long tail swinging between the bushes, a black belly python in the bushes, which could be where it lived or attracted by beef soup and bonfires. Python is most afraid of cold air, which can make his body stiff and slow, scared away by a spiky ice crystal sacrificed by Amon.

His staff was embedded with a blue blue heart, which is why Amon practiced his magic. He was surprised himself, and his heart palpitated to Schrödinger: "Thank you for reminding me! ”

The scene seemed a bit funny, a fat cat sat there in large measure, and one person across the street was seriously talking to it. Amon was also too silent to talk to him at all. I don't know if Schrödinger understands, but he pointed the claw forward a little, and his expression seemed arrogant and a little stubborn, clearly referring to the pot of beef soup.

Look at the look on the cat's face, and if it speaks, it's clearly in the tone of an order: "Hey, kid! Give me a bowl. ”

Amon almost made it laugh and didn't feel so scared. Although Schrödinger was a magical cat, it was ridiculous for a cat to do this. He couldn't help but laugh and waved at Schrödinger. "I only have one spoon. Wait till I'm full. I'll even give you the pot. ”

Schrödinger's tail suddenly stood up and took a photograph on the ground. He seemed very dissatisfied. After twisting his body, he actually left. He swallowed slowly and went down beside his backpack, with his eyes open, gasping and not sleeping.

Amon's heart was so solid that he ate only half a pot of beef soup himself. When the rest of the half pot was almost dry, he took it to Schrödinger's eyes and whispered: “Cat, you must be hungry. Eat! ”

Schrödinger turned his head and closed his eyes, not even looking. Amon saw that the cat didn't eat and didn't eat too much. This half pot of beef soup can't be wasted, so he ate it all himself. After eating, the staff waved, a clear mist swept through, and turned into a cloudy mist that flew out, and the pan was clean.

Schrödinger opened his eyes and looked at him. It seemed a little unexpected and a little like a mockery. If some other magician saw Amon perform such a delicate water elemental magic, just to wash the pan, he would be surprised and even want to vomit blood. This is the work of humble servants. How can a noble magician do it with divine magic?

Besides, this is not how the power of divine art is used. Wasting it on such boring things in this difficult environment!

Schrödinger didn't eat it, and Amon couldn't help it. He found dry soft grass to lay on the ground, sat down with fine iron branches in his hand, closed his eyes and began to coax the old lunatic to teach him Qi Elemental Theology. He had just meditated on the simplest air element summoning technique in his heart, and before waiting to try it, he heard a meow with anger.

This is Schrödinger's voice. This cat, who hasn't called for 30 years, actually screamed today. It sounds a little like a roar. Amon, who was practicing his magic, was interrupted in meditation, turned his head and looked at him. He found Schrödinger lying on the ground, his head resting on his two foreclaws and looking at him. Schrödinger's eyes were strange, reminding Amon of the mayor standing in front of the temple and looking at all the townspeople.

What does Schrödinger want? He clearly wanted to eat, but when Amon handed it to him, he didn't eat it. When Amon finished eating a pot of beef soup, he was unhappy again. Anyway, Amon sat there thinking about the cat and suddenly remembered an unforgettable experience.

On the three days he was a servant to Maria, he had the best food of his life, but after all Maria had eaten, he said, "Amon, give these to you.” Then Amon took the table downstairs to the kitchen to eat. Anyway, there was a lot of food for Maria, and she could only eat half of it. And Maria also has a habit of not moving a single plate of food every meal, as if it were deliberately given to Amonto.

Thinking of Maria, Amon looked at Schrödinger again and secretly said: Maria seemed intentionally to leave me two complete plates of food, knowing that I would eat her leftovers, but if the situation were reversed, of course she would not be able to eat my leftovers or eat with me. Does this cat think her identity is honorable?

After half a day of thinking, Amon finally sighed, deciding whether or not to compare to the cat plot, and the old lunatic said it might be the only guide to take him to Bell's whereabouts. And on this long lonely journey, Schrödinger was also his only companion. Let's see if that's what this cat means first.

Amon's smart. He guessed right!

He specially cooked another pot of fragrance-sprayed beef soup, put it in front of Schrödinger's eyes, then sat down and began meditating, unfolding the "power given by God” to communicate with the surrounding air, trying to summon and control the gas elements, the first step he needed a gust of wind.

His staff was embedded with blue water heart and wind charm, and two other standard stones were used with great comfort. Soon he summoned a gust of wind to swirl up in front of him. Then he controlled the breeze and blew the bonfire flame into various shapes as a fun game.

After half a day of playing, he remembered the next step of gas element theology, the staff waved, condensed a clear wind blade in the air, and drew a shallow trace on the ashes of the fire. He felt a little tired at the time, so he decided to rest and add enough firewood to the campfire. Looking back, Schrödinger had eaten up that pot of beef soup, and drilling back into the leather bag was snoring to sleep, revealing half his head.

How can this fat cat eat and drink so much?
