Pivot of the Sky

Chapter 36: 031, This Is Your Only Chance

Schrödinger, he's lying in the grass. He can't be gone! You can still hear the cat breathing in close proximity, very rhythmic, like a slight snoring. It looks like it's falling asleep, but Amon's a little confused. Is this cat really sleeping?

Amon knew that Schrödinger's origins were not simple or even incredible, so he was surprised, but not too surprised, that some of the magic he could not understand now anyway. But what about that bone? Schrödinger pulled it out of the Iron Armored Beast King's lair, and he couldn't even sense its existence with puppet eyes.

Schrödinger must know something so he can bring this strange bone back. Too bad this cat can't talk, even if it can talk, it doesn't have to be proactive to tell Amon the way it drags.

Amon reached out and pulled the bone out of the cat's paw, closed his eyes in the dark, and used puppet sensing again. This feels so strange, the hand is obviously holding this bone, the hand feels so real, but the puppet eye sensing palm is empty, like nothing!

He opened his eyes and suddenly waved the bone, a flame appeared in front of him, and the red tongue gradually shined a bright yellow light as it rose, illuminating everything in the house. Amon continued to activate the magic, and the flame grew white and finally turned pale blue. The hue appeared to be very cool, with hot and hot temperatures.

Once again, Amon turned the bones in his hand and the flame surrounded his body, waving like a wave, forming a ring of fire. He picked the bone up and down again, and the ring then extended up and down, forming a circle of firewalls surrounding him three feet away. Amon cautiously controlled the ring firewall so it wouldn't touch anything in the house, but accidentally swept the corner of the table.

As soon as he shook his bones, he collected the first-ever intermediate firewall technique in his life. For a moment, the corner of the table had been burned to ashes, and the intensity of the flame was conceivable!

Amon sucked in a breath of cold air, and this bone can actually be used as a cane, and it works better than his cane! If his staff is embedded with the Flame Elf and three more standard Stones, the firewall technique can barely achieve this effect. And not only does this bone have a particularly good auxiliary effect on fire element theology, but Ammon also tries to carry out several middle class theology that he can theoretically cultivate, all of which quickly succeed.

The sacred stone can act as an intermediary for the performance of the divine arts, it can be set with or without the staff, but it will play a greater role on the staff in a particular way. On the other hand, the role of the Divine Stone is not only to inlay the Staff, for example, it can also act as an intermediary for awakening power, making various artifacts of art, etc.

The effect of this “bone" is very similar to that of a divine stone. It does not differ from that of a standard divine stone, but it can have the effect of a special divine stone. It is a “universal special divine stone” and can be used directly as a cane.

Amon suddenly remembers the old madman saying that there is also a divine stone called the "wreck of God”, which is the crystallization of the wreck of the divine meteorite. Could this strange bone-shaped thing be the real skeleton of a god? Ammon has this question, but it's impossible to be sure.

It was almost dawn, he held his bones for half a day, suddenly he remembered something and reached out and picked up his staff. It's impossible for a magician to use two canes at the same time, and Amon wants to do another experiment to see if this bone can be used as an artifact? He's going to use the cane to inspire it.

He had just picked up the iron branch cane and heard a cat scream. Turning around, he saw Schrödinger sitting up from the grass hole and shook his head straight at him. Meaning clearly he was telling him he couldn't do that, then lifting a claw and pointing to the outside of the house, meaning let him out. The cat didn't really sleep, and it seemed to know the mystery of this bone.

Does it want Amon to take the bones out and test them, not in the house? Amon had a bone in his left hand and a staff in his right hand just walked out of the grass house and heard a lot of noise coming from afar. There seemed to be a lot of animals running in the bushes in the mountains, and there was a bit of chaos in the village. Adult men took up arms and ran out of the village, not knowing what had happened.

At this point, Link ran over with two tribes, and Amon asked, "What's going on, so messy? ”

Link gasped and replied, "Amon, God! It may be the floods that have collapsed the cliffs, or a tributary of the underwater river has been cut off by a landslide, and the deeper the pouring water in the mountains, the higher it rises, the more it has flooded the hillsides. ”

It has been raining in the northwest direction, and the rain clouds pile up on the hillside of the peak, possibly a mudslide stream formed by the collapse of a certain mountain, blocking the narrow valley entrance, and the floods form a weir plug lake. Higher and higher water levels have submerged the hillsides of this plateau, which is exactly where Amon came from.

Amon looked around and said, "Even if the landslide blocks the valley entrance outside the mountain, the flood can't drown here. Why are you panicking? ”

Link quickly explained, "We're not panicking, we're animals in the low jungle running to the mountains to escape the floods, we're just stopping the road to hunt, we can catch a lot of prey at once! … thank you for teaching us how to make meatpine and keep meat for a long time! … I also intend to direct the people to catch a small group of gentle beasts to domesticate in the village, so that it will be easier to eat meat later. ”

Amon waved, “Then go. It's a big deal about people's livelihoods.” Link promised to turn around and was about to leave, and Amon suddenly asked: "If the flood didn't reach the hillside, could it get out of here? ”

Link: “The road you came on must be out of reach by now, but there is also a road that leads southeast to the lower part of the Junior Bottom River, where you can walk around the ridge, the road that Medanzo came from. … What, are you leaving now? ”

Amon shook his head: "No, I was just asking. Go do your thing, I'll be fine. ”

Link hurried away with the tribe, Amonte walked with his staff to the open areas of the village with his bones, but found Schrödinger running ahead of him with a light cat. When he arrived at the square in front of the great cave, he saw Schrödinger crouching with his paws at the entrance. Amon glanced closer and stunned. - This cat can't talk, but it can write!

Schrödinger wrote the Book of Equus, not a secular text, but a divine text. Whether it's a knife book or a sketch book, there are two ways to write. People who can write worldly words don't necessarily know the divine language, but people who can understand the divine language must write worldly words. This cat clearly knows how to write, but prefers to write a god that Amon doesn't really understand. His temper is really weird, as if he doesn't disdain to write worldly words.

Schrödinger drew only a few simple characters with his claws on the mud, and then he didn't seem to want to hear what Amon was going to ask and turned around and swung away. Amon either doesn't know the divine literature at all, after all, the characters are the same, or the combination of writing has a specific form. He even guessed, roughly reading the word on the ground, should be, "Come with me, this is your only chance. ”

An arched circle is also drawn on the indicator that expresses "I”.

Amon didn't have time to express too much surprise either, because when he looked up and saw Schrödinger had gone far, he quickly followed him. Schrödinger ran out of the village down the hill and through the jungle to the other side of the plateau. From time to time, many animals can be seen running in the jungle, with the sound of branches being trampled and broken in their ears. The panicked beasts were trying to escape the floods and run high, but Schrödinger was on the low side of the flood.

Amon didn't know where Schrödinger was taking him, but was also a little worried that he was accidentally trampled by a running beast, so he stepped up his footsteps and wanted to catch up. But it was too hard to catch an agile and clever cat in the jungle. Schrödinger ran very fast, which was exactly what Amon could see, but he couldn't keep up. On the other hand, Amon himself was almost hit by an animal that had suddenly jumped out of the jungle several times.

Running along the road, they gradually moved far away from the village, passing down through a thin cloud, raining in the jungle at the bottom and getting muddy at the foot. They've been running around this highland mountain for a long time, and there's finally no way forward, just to see the rolling floods pervading the mountains.

Schrödinger squatted on a hillside by the water and looked like a rare lion. He looked so dignified that he ignored the Amon he had chased, but looked at the floods in the distance.

Schrödinger stopped running, and Amon finally took a sigh of relief and slowed his footsteps to the nearest place, but found that the cat had written a few more lines on the ground, still a god that Amon didn't know very well. Amon guessed that he understood several of them: “The bones… are your destiny… the keys… inspire it in the water… the boat… to the other shore. ”

He asked puzzled, "If you're trying to tell me something, why don't you write something I can read? You wrote the keys and the boat. You mean the bone? What door is it that opens and what boat is it? ”

Schrödinger did not answer what he meant, but raised a foreclaw with dignity to the distance. Amon looked up in the direction of the cat's finger and saw a familiar mountain, another peak he saw on his way. At that time Amon did not know which way to go and Schrödinger led him to the plateau where the Caveman tribe was located.

Now, looking at the mountain peak at the height, Amon realized that he couldn't have climbed it. The cliffs that expose the water are shredded and there is no place to climb. Though far away, you can also see the white waves that flood the rocks. The clouds in the middle of the sky were torn apart near the cliff, and the airflow near the mountain wall was extremely intense and complex, making it difficult for even birds to fly safely.

Schrödinger did not move or speak, and still pointed his claws at the peaks of the flood, which were remote. At this point, the mountain currents are slowly calming down and no longer rushing in one direction. A giant swirl rises in the water, which is a sign of rising water levels to the highest point. It was still raining and the mountain winds were not in a definite direction, spinning around and sweeping up a wave on the water.

Amon understood Schrödinger's meaning, which was to get him to throw that bone in the water and excite it. He suddenly remembered the old madman's orders. Schrödinger was the only guide who could lead him to Bell's whereabouts. Is this cat guiding the way, Bell is on that mountain in the distance?

Now even if there was only one possibility, Amon had to try it. He threw the bone on the water resolutely, but didn't know how to excite it, so he shook his staff, using the kind of power that communicated with and inspired the Divine Stone.

The bone floated gently on the water and suddenly a whirlwind swept open, turning into a large, narrow moon-toothed “boat”. This “boat” is invisible with its eyes and only in the force stress can an invisible space be detected on the water, the contour being the shape of the boat.

Just between the glances of Amon, Schrödinger had jumped lightly and jumped onto the boat, like treading on a flood. It still lifts the front pawl, pointing in a distant direction. Amon returned to God momentarily, walking on this invisible ship with his staff.

No rudder, no paddle, no wind sail, Schrödinger pointed in one direction, clearly pointing him towards it.

It took Amon some time to become familiar with how to manipulate such a "boat” with his staff, as the old lunatic once told him - not to call the wind to summon the rain, but to communicate and operate the forces of nature. His staff is embedded with the glamour of the wind and the heart of the blue water, perfect for manipulating the gas and water elements and controlling the boat on the floods in the wind and rain.

Amon's manipulation of this invisible ship was very strenuous, and even with the aid of his staff, almost all his power would have been used to stabilize it between the whirlpool and the surge, moving slowly in the direction indicated by Schrödinger, and he was somewhat ashamed. Amon doesn't know that his ability to manipulate the ship is a miracle in itself.

Gore once manipulated the Dark Blue Boat through the flood, a precious magician given to him by an old lunatic, and only a great magician could inspire and use it, and the invisible ship that this bone turned into could be manipulated by a Level 3 magician. As a theological object, the higher the order, the more magical the effect, the higher the demands placed on the user. In doing the same, the less demanding the user, the more precious the object becomes.

Amon doesn't know much about it yet, and no other Level 3 magician could have a staff like him.

The invisible ship swayed forward in the wind, pointing straight at Schrödinger, who suddenly turned his head and looked into the flood. Ammon also heard a screaming roar, and turned around and saw that several great beasts were struggling in the vortex as the flood floated. Amon actually knew them, the Iron Armored Beast King and those big Iron Armored Beasts who had fought him.

Ironclad beasts specialize in diving and swimming, but they are reptiles, not fish, and the waters where they live are flooded by mountain floods, which are also life-threatening. The struggle has been exhausting for so long that their specialty in earthly elemental theology plays almost no part in escaping the boundless waters.

The Iron Armored Beast King seemed to have discovered that an invisible space ship was passing through the water, screaming hard and struggling to lift that long tail to the left and right, as if it were crying for help.

“Can I save them?” Amon asked Schrödinger at the bow.

Unexpectedly, Schrödinger nodded at the moment, always ignoring Amon's words.
