Pivot of the Sky
Chapter 42 034, Wrath of Horus (Bottom)
“The high god may be watching the world, watching how people express their faith in piety, choosing their destiny. I was given the power of the gods to protect the dignity of the gods and the Ecumenical Empire, and I think this is my destiny. O Gods, I have not betrayed you!
But it's not just the gods who have the will, and I'm surprised where Bell's strength and courage come from. I persuaded him to return to the temple when he passed through Cape Town State, but I did not leave him. Bell tells me —— mortals can also be gods, and at this point, gods deceive everyone, and we are all deceived.
Great Horus, I admit I'm curious! I once said to Bell, 'Don't tempt me’, and I have long rejected the devil's temptation. But to be the eternal temptation of the gods, is it really the devil inside people? I want answers, even at the last moment of my life. Did Bell destroy himself because of this temptation?
I wanted to see Bell print the answer, so I let him leave the Egu border with Onion. Although I couldn't stop him alone, I didn't do everything I could to stop him. He was my people and my benefactor, and I could not make up my mind to challenge him with all my courage.
But when I heard the voice of the gods today, and Wang and Mengfei's team came with decrees, I was told to hunt down Bell, and I knew that I could not escape this fate. I got my message from Bell's fingertips, and I left my mark on the onion ornament. Why would I do that? Is it God's will?
I set out in secret before I could say goodbye to everyone, knowing that I would never be able to come back, either because of the gods or because of Bell.
My staff belongs to the Temple of Cape Sea. I hope that you will return it to me, O man who has received it. The Spirit belongs to the Spirit. I do not want to suffer any debts in my life. You can read the message I left, it must be a magician, so I left three scrolls next to the staff, a gift I gave you in return for everything you did.
I have also left a ring as a relic of my family and I ask you to take it to Cape Town State to give it to my family and you will receive another reward. There's my will in the ring, tell me what my descendants will repay you for. When you return your staff to the Cape Temple, find Lord Dick and ask him to have a master magician skilled in high-end space divinity read out and notarized by the will in the ring. Lord Dick is trustworthy. ”
The message of Nero, the Great Magician, has come to an end, and it is true to hear, as if he had spoken before his eyes in his lifetime, a message that cannot be falsified. At the same time, there are other pieces of information that are naturally printed into Amon's mind, introducing the three reels mentioned in the will, the three that Amon could not recognize.
The silver and white axis, the elongated one called "space turbulence”, can break the closure of the space barrier and is the best escape when trapped by the divine space. However, the influx of space can create numerous space fissures, which can harm the practitioner himself, and is therefore a dangerous advanced theology. Using a scroll to do it does not require your own power, but can also cover yourself with space objects.
Another golden axis, a shorter reel called "Information Extinction”, can disrupt sealed theological information and belong to a destructive theological technique. Wise information theology combined with space theology can be used not only to preserve and transmit information, but also to create various disguises and traps, “information extinction” is used to destroy these traps and disguises.
It seems that this great magician is ready to go, he is well aware that Bell specializes in space and information theology, so he brought a handmade targeted scroll, somehow he did not use it in battle, it may be too late or unnecessary to use it again.
Both are high-order theological scrolls. Theoretically, they do not need to consume the corresponding powers, but they are also demanding for the user. They can be used to expand the scroll to control the implementation of the theological arts, so at least they can be used by mid-order theologians. As for the last grey scroll, Nero did not introduce what it was, but said that if he sent the staff and the ring back to Cape Town State in accordance with his will, he would be able to query the temple for the records of the scroll he had made in that year, which would be described in his will.
But Nero emphasizes in particular that this grey scroll is invaluable and even more valuable than a cane and a ring, and must not be easily used without his production instructions.
Amon blinked his eyes for half a day and thought, not only did the magician leave a will in the staff, but he also left a will in the ring. It seems that the ring is also a space law apparatus that can collect things. And Nero deliberately told me that when sending the staff back to Cape Temple, he asked Lord Dick, the chief magician of space divinity, to open the ring and read the will.
This suggests that it is very difficult to open the ring, and that a credible Lord Dick is asked to notarize it in order to guarantee that his will can be executed and that his family will not fail. Nero has left three scrolls as a reward for returning the staff, and what will be the reward in the will for returning the ring? Amon was curious, but he couldn't see.
Amon held that gray unnamed scroll in his hand for half a day, and Nero said it was more precious than the staff and the ring, but if he didn't execute his last words, he wouldn't get the instructions, and it was just an unusable and unrecognizable thing. Ammon will doubt that he suddenly came up with the possibility that the great magician, fearful of getting relics, would not do as he willed.
Amon was right! That grey scroll is absolutely unusable. If someone gets it without fulfilling Nero's will, they leave everything behind and end up using or selling the scroll without permission. I'm afraid the result is a dead end. It is the most precious scroll of Nero's life, the essence of hard work and skill, but its value cannot be measured by wealth, because its use is so special.
Amon had never heard of Nero's fame. Nero grew up in Cape Town State as a child and later became the main priest of the Temple of Cape Town. He became a great magician in his early twenties and was hailed as "Nero the Genius”. He is also the most intelligent magic scroll maker in the entire Ecuadorian Empire, drunk in making all kinds of scrolls, consuming countless efforts and energy. Perhaps because of this, Nero has not been a level 8 magician for more than 40 years since then.
The Cape Town State of Eju, like the Syrian City State of Hati, is at the crossroads of all countries. Today, in the State of Syria, there is a hierarchy of eight great magicians sitting in the town, and in the State of Cape Town, there was also a great magician sitting in the town, Nero.
The power of the Temple of Cape Verde was the worst lost in the pursuit of Bel, as it was the closest to Bel's final escape route and the most diverted, with many people, including the main cleric Nero, not returning. At that time, the Egyptian Empire was already very powerful. By subjugating the Kingdom of Hati through the war, the border had not been threatened, and the great magicians who had no superior status were willing to reside in this remote city, so there had been no great magicians in Cape Town for 30 years.
Rod Dick, now the chief cleric of Cape Town State, is not a great magician, but a talented local chief. As for Lord Dick, to whom Nero referred in his will, he was not Rod Dick, but Rod Dick's father. Although the appointment of a municipal governor is formally required by Ecupharaoh, it is a hereditary function in many places.
Amon doesn't understand the grey scroll anyway, and this wand doesn't seem to be handed over to Link, whether or not he sends the wand back to Cape Town State in accordance with Nero's will, it will always be useful to keep it. He retrieved both the scroll and cane back into the bone, shaking the bone and removing another ring.
The ring has a very ordinary appearance, which is a simple ring that looks like bronze, engraved with a circle of Pentagram Patterns and no other decorations. Amon didn't care too much when he ingested it into the bone. Anyway, it was a complete little thing, and he received it in an invisible space. At this moment, he took it out alone to feel that the little ring was heavy, almost as heavy as a thick muggle steel shield.
Amon has experience with space objects and knows that there is more than one will in this ring. Funny to say, there are three space objects in the hands of a third-level magician in the district. There is something in the ring that he can't see, the wind can't dance, but the bone he can barely stimulate, but it doesn't really work.
These are the treasures that magicians dream of, falling into Amon's hands is simply a waste. If the news gets out, I don't know how many people will envy jealousy and hate!
The accident didn't let Amon forget what he had intended, and after putting everything away, he eventually picked another cane for Link. This wand does not have a special stone set, but it has seven ordinary stones set in turn in a spiral, and the material is very special, and Amon can't tell what it's made of.
The artificial stone set on the staff is not intended to fit as much as you want, and it is not necessarily as much as you want. The process of making it is quite complicated, so as to bridge the effects of stimulating magic. The more sophisticated the staff, the higher the material requirements, and the more difficult it is to make. This scepter must be the work of a master craftsman, and Ammon tried it, it can significantly enhance the effect of performing the magic, especially the speed at which the magic works quickly.
Amon didn't think of it as anything too good. After all, it was far worse than that bone. It was obviously not as amazing as the other canes in his hand, just suitable for Link. Now Ammon is a bit “rich as a cloud” mentality, he has seen too many divine stones, and nothing in his hand is not a treasure, he has inadvertently used to plain and faint.
